Summary
Prospective investors are urged to read this prospectus in its entirety.
We intend to be in the business of mineral property exploration. To date, we have not conducted any exploration on our sole mineral property, the CATHI 1 claim, located in British Columbia, Canada. We own a 100% interest in the CATHI 1 mineral claim. We purchased this claim from Albert Ablett of Kamloops, British Columbia for a cash payment of $5,000.
Our objective is to conduct mineral exploration activities on the CATHI 1 claim in order to assess whether it possesses economic reserves of gold, silver and molybdenum. We have not yet identified any economic mineralization on the property. Our proposed exploration program is designed to search for an economic mineral deposit.
There is currently no public market for our common stock and no certainty that a market will develop. If no market is ever developed for our shares, it will be difficult for shareholders to sell their stock. In such a case, shareholders may find that they are unable to achieve benefits from their investment.
We were incorporated on August 13, 2004 under the laws of the state of Nevada. Our principal offices are located at 1055 West Hastings Street, Suite 1980, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Our telephone number is (778) 318-4988.

Risk Factors
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this prospectus before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
IF WE DO NOT OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING, OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL.
Our current operating funds are less than necessary to complete all intended exploration of the CATHI 1 claim, and therefore we will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan. We currently do not have any operations and we have no income. As well, we will not receive any funds from this registration.
Our business plan calls for significant expenses in connection with the exploration of the CATHI 1 claim. While we have sufficient funds to conduct the proposed initial phase of exploration on the property, estimated to cost $7,400, we will require additional financing in order to determine whether the property contains economic mineralization. Even after completing all proposed exploration, we will not know if we have a commercially viable mineral deposit.
We will require additional financing to sustain our business operations if we are not successful in earning revenues once exploration is complete. We do not currently have any arrangements for financing and may not be able to find such financing if required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including the market price for metals and investor acceptance of our property and general market conditions. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us.
- 7 -
The most likely source of future funds presently available to us is through the sale of equity capital. Any sale of share capital will result in dilution to existing shareholders. The only other anticipated alternative for the financing of further exploration would be our sale of a partial interest in the CATHI 1 claim to a third party in exchange for cash or exploration expenditures, which is not presently contemplated.
BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT COMMENCED BUSINESS OPERATIONS, WE FACE A HIGH RISK OF BUSINESS FAILURE.
We have not yet commenced exploration on the CATHI 1 claim. Accordingly, we have no way to evaluate the likelihood that our business will be successful. We were incorporated on August 13, 2004 and to date have been involved primarily in organizational activities and the acquisition of our mineral property. We have not earned any revenues as of the date of this prospectus. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates.
Prior to completion of our exploration stage, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from development of the CATHI 1 claim and the production of minerals from the claims, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations.
There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and it is doubtful that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail. If we determine that the CATHI 1 claim does not contain any reserves and that we are unable to complete our business plan with respect to the claims, we intend to acquire an interest or interests in additional mineral claims for exploration purposes. Additional acquisitions will depend upon our ability to raise additional funding through our sale of common stock.
BECAUSE OF THE SPECULATIVE NATURE OF EXPLORATION OF MINING PROPERTIES, THERE IS A SUBSTANTIAL RISK THAT OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL.
The search for valuable minerals as a business is extremely risky. The likelihood of our mineral claims containing economic mineralization or reserves is extremely remote. Exploration for minerals is a speculative venture necessarily involving substantial risk. In all probability, the CATHI 1 claim does not contain any reserves and funds that we spend on exploration will be lost. As well, problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. In such a case, we would be unable to complete our business plan.
WE NEED TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN IF OUR BUSINESS IS TO SUCCEED. OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITOR HAS RAISED DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.
The Independent Auditor's Report to our audited financial statements for the period ended January 31, 2006 indicates that there are a number of factors that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue
- 8 -
as a going concern. Such factors identified in the report are that we have no source of revenue and our dependence upon obtaining adequate financing. If we are not able to continue as a going concern, it is likely investors will lose all of their investment.
BECAUSE OF THE INHERENT DANGERS INVOLVED IN MINERAL EXPLORATION, THERE IS A RISK THAT WE MAY INCUR LIABILITY OR DAMAGES AS WE CONDUCT OUR BUSINESS.
The search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial position.
EVEN IF WE DISCOVER COMMERCIAL RESERVES OF PRECIOUS METALS ON THE CATHI 1 CLAIM, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY COMMENCE COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION.
The CATHI 1 claim does not contain any known bodies of mineralization. If our exploration programs are successful in establishing zinc, silver and gold of commercial tonnage and grade, we will require additional funds in order to place the property into commercial production. We may not be able to obtain such financing.
BECAUSE OUR PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY HAVE OTHER BUSINESS INTERESTS, THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE OR WILLING TO DEVOTE A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF TIME TO OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS, CAUSING OUR BUSINESS TO FAIL.
Our president, Dr. Tim Sun spends approximately 20% his business time, or approximately six hours per week, providing his services to us. Our secretary, Ms. Mar Bergstrom spends only about 10% of her business, or approximately three hours per week, time providing her services to us. We do not compensate our directors for the services that they provide to us.
While Dr. Sun and Ms. Bergstrom presently possess adequate time to attend to our interests, it is possible that the demands on Dr. Sun and Ms. Bergstrom from their other obligations could increase with the result that they would no longer be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our business.
IF A MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK DOES NOT DEVELOP, SHAREHOLDERS MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL THEIR SHARES.
There is currently no market for our common stock and no certainty that a market will develop. We have engaged a broker, Spartan Securities Group, Ltd., who has applied for quotation of our common stock on the over the counter bulletin board upon the effectiveness of the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part. The application will not be approved, if ever, until after the effectiveness of our registration statement. There is no guarantee that the application will be approved. Our shares may never trade on the bulletin board. If no market is ever developed for our shares, it will be difficult for shareholders to sell their stock. In such a case, shareholders may find that they are unable to achieve benefits from their investment.
A PURCHASER IS PURCHASING PENNY STOCK WHICH LIMITS HIS OR HER ABILITY TO SELL THE STOCK.
- 9 -
The shares offered by this prospectus constitute penny stock under the Exchange Act. The shares will remain penny stock for the foreseeable future. The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, thus limiting investment liquidity. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in our company will be subject to rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.
Please refer to the “Plan of Distribution” section for a more detailed discussion of penny stock and related broker-dealer restrictions.
Forward-Looking Statements
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. We use words such as anticipate, believe, plan, expect, future, intend and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking statements. You should not place too much reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks faced by us described in the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this prospectus.
Use Of Proceeds
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock offered through this prospectus by the selling shareholders.
Determination of Offering Price
The selling shareholders will sell our shares at $0.05 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. There is no guarantee that our common stock will be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. We determined this offering price, based upon the price of the last sale of our common stock to investors.
Dilution
The common stock to be sold by the selling shareholders is common stock that is currently issued and outstanding. Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our existing shareholders.
Selling Shareholders
The selling shareholders named in this prospectus are offering all of the 1,680,000 shares of common stock offered through this prospectus. These shares were acquired from us in private placements that were exempt from registration under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933. The shares include the following:

The named party beneficially owns and has sole voting and investment over all shares or rights to these shares. The numbers in this table assume that none of the selling shareholders sells shares of common stock not being offered in this prospectus or purchases additional shares of common stock, and assumes that all shares offered are sold. The percentages are based on 1,680,000 shares of common stock outstanding on the date of this prospectus.
None of the selling shareholders:
(1) has had a material relationship with us other than as a shareholder at any time within the
- 14 -
past three years;
(2) has ever been one of our officers or directors;
(3) has been a registered broker-dealer or an affiliate of a registered broker-dealer.
Plan Of Distribution
The selling shareholders may sell some or all of their common stock in one or more transactions, including block transactions.
The selling shareholders will sell our shares at $0.05 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. We determined this offering price arbitrarily based upon the price of the last sale of our common stock to investors. The shares may also be sold in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's Rule 144.
The selling shareholders may also sell their shares directly to market makers acting as principals, brokers or dealers, who may act as agent or acquire the common stock as principal. Any broker or dealer participating in such transactions as agent may receive a commission from the selling shareholders, or, if they act as agent for the purchaser of such common stock, from such purchaser. The selling shareholders will likely pay the usual and customary brokerage fees for such services. Brokers or dealers may agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified number of shares at a stipulated price per share and, to the extent such broker or dealer is unable to do so while acting as agent for the selling shareholders, to purchase, as principal, any unsold shares at the price required to fulfill the respective broker's or dealer's commitment to the selling shareholders.
Brokers or dealers who acquire shares as principals may thereafter resell such shares from time to time in transactions in a market or on an exchange, in negotiated transactions or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices, and in connection with such re-sales may pay or receive commissions to or from the purchasers of such shares. These transactions may involve cross and block transactions that may involve sales to and through other brokers or dealers. If applicable, the selling shareholders may distribute shares to one or more of their partners who are unaffiliated with us. Such partners may, in turn, distribute such shares as described above. We can provide no assurance that all or any of the common stock offered will be sold by the selling shareholders.
We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the common stock. These are estimated to be $25,008.99. The selling shareholders, however, will pay any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the common stock.
The selling shareholders must comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in the offer and sale of the common stock. In particular, during such times as the selling shareholders may be deemed to be engaged in a distribution of the common stock, and therefore be considered to be an underwriter, they must comply with applicable law and may, among other things:
1. Not engage in any stabilization activities in connection with our common stock;
2. Furnish each broker or dealer through which common stock may be offered, such copies of this prospectus, as amended from time to time, as may be required by such broker or dealer; and
3. Not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities other than as permitted under the Exchange Act.
- 15 -
The Securities Exchange Commission has also adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which:
* contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both
public offerings and secondary trading;
* contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and
remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties;
* contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask"
prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;
* contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
* defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny
stocks; and
* contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size, and
format) as the Commission shall require by rule or regulation;
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to proceeding with any transaction in a penny stock, the customer:
* with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
* details of the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;
* the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable
information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and
* monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the
customer's account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.

Term of Office
Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board.
Significant Employees
We have no significant employees. Our officers and directors voluntarily provide their services to us without compensation.
Conflicts of Interest
Both of our directors are involved in non-company business ventures that involve mineral properties and exploration. As our present business plan is focused entirely on the CATHI 1 property, there is no expectation of any conflict between our business interests and those of our directors. However, possible conflicts may arise in the future if we seek to acquire interests in additional mineral properties.
Our bylaws provide that each officer who holds another office or possesses property whereby, whether directly or indirectly, duties or interests might be created in conflict with his duties or interests as our officer shall, in writing, disclose to the president the fact and the nature, character and extent of the conflict and abstain from voting with respect to any resolution in which the officer has a personal interest. For example, if we propose to enter into a transaction in which our president, Dr. Sun, has a direct interest, he must disclose this interest to our other director, Ms. Bergstrom, at the board meeting to consider the transaction. Dr. Sun must then abstain from voting on the resolution to approve the transaction. Accordingly, in order for us to approve the transaction, Ms. Bergstrom would have to approve it. In making this decision, Ms. Bergstrom is required to act in the best interests of the company.

Dr. Sun acts as our sole promoter. He was responsible for founding and organizing our business.
Dr. Sun has not received, and has no agreement to receive, anything of value, directly or indirectly, from us.
Description Of Business
In General
We are an exploration stage company. We are engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties with a view to exploiting any mineral deposits we discover that demonstrate economic feasibility. We own a 100% interest in one mineral claim known as the CATHI 1 claim. There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on the property. Further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility is determined.
Our plan of operation is to conduct exploration work on the CATHI 1 claim in order to ascertain whether it possesses economic quantities of gold, silver and molybdenum. There can be no assurance that economic mineral deposits or reserves exist on the CATHI 1 claim until appropriate exploration work is done and an economic evaluation based on such work concludes that production of minerals from the property is economically feasible.
Even if we complete our proposed exploration programs on the CATHI 1 claim and they are successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we will know if we have a commercially viable mineral deposit.
Description, Location and Access
The CATHI 1 claim is located approximately 25 kilometers northwest of Little Fort, British Columbia and is accessible by Highway 24 from Little Fort, then by the Deer Lake Forest Access Road northwest to Monticola Lake. The claim is accessible by surrounding logging roads on the west, north and east of the property and limited access by overgrown logging roads west and southwest of the claim. The claim consists of eight units totaling 450 hectares. Logging is taking place in the eastern part of the claim. The following map illustrates the claim location:

Mineralization
The following technical terms in this section have the following meaning:
Augite is a dark-green to black glassy mineral of the pyroxene group containing large amounts of aluminum and iron and magnesium.
Basalt is a heavy, dark-colored rock that has cooled from molten material, that may occur in or on the earth’s surface.
Breccia is rock composed of angular fragments of older rocks melded together.
Andesite is a gray, fine-grained volcanic rock
Chert is a siliceous rock containing microcrystalline quartz. Chert usually occurs in round form but may be deposited in layers. Dark gray chert is called flint.
Siltstone is a fine-grained rock of consolidated silt.
Shale is a fissile rock composed of layers of claylike, fine-grained sediments.
Porphyry is a very hard igneous rock consisting of large-grained crystals. The traditional term "Porphyry” refers to a purple-red stone valued for its appearance.
Feldspar refers to a group of rock-forming minerals which make up about 60% of the earth’s crust.
Calcite is a common mineral consisting of crystallized calcium carbonate; a major constituent of limestone.
A vein is a regularly shaped and lengthy occurrence of an aggregate of minerals. They are formed by fluids carrying mineral constituents into a rock mass as a consequence of some form of hydraulic flow within the rock.
Pyrite, also known as “fool’s gold” is a common mineral containing mainly iron disulfide that is pale yellow in color.
The northeastern half of the CATHI 1 claim is underlain by mainly augite basalt, breccia, and small amounts of andesite. The southwestern half of the claim contains an abundant amount of black chert, dark siltstone and shale. These rocks are volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Nicola Group, which host significant deposits of copper porphyry, such as feldspar or quartz, dispersed in a fine-grained feldspathic matrix (groundmass).
Quartz-calcite veins along the CATHI 1 claim property are narrow, ranging from three to six centimeters wide, the widest being a quartz-calcite-pyrite vein. Some of the quartz-pyrite veins within augite basalt minerals contain a slightly elevated value in silver. Almost half of the veins contain small amounts of pyrite. Other veins contain small amounts of gold, silver, zinc, copper and lead.

Claim Acquisition
On August 13, 2004, we executed a Bill of Sale Absolute with Albert Ablett of Kamloops, British Columbia, whereby he sold a 100% interest in the CATHI 1 mineral claim to us. In order to acquire the 100% interest in this claim, we paid $5,000 to Mr. Ablett.
Exploration History
The British Columbia Geological Survey, a branch of the British Columbia government, has compiled exploration information on the CATHI 1 claim. Analysis of the claim area has demonstrated that the property contains rock types consistent with similar types that have hosted significant copper deposits.
In the southwestern area of the CATHI 1, samples anomalous in silver, gold, copper, zinc, chromium and molybdenum were taken and analyzed. The samples contain moderately elevated values in silver, gold and molybdenum.
This exploration work included geochemical surveying and geological mapping. Geochemical surveying involves gathering chip samples and grab samples from property areas with the most potential to host economically significant mineralization based on past exploration results. All samples gathered are sent to a laboratory where they are crushed and analysed for metal content. The grab samples are soil samples or pieces of rock that appear to contain precious metals such as gold and silver, or industrial metals such as copper and molybdenum. Geological mapping involves plotting previous exploration data relating to a property on a map in order to determine the best property locations to conduct subsequent exploration work.
Geological Assessment Report
We have obtained a geological summary report on the CATHI 1 claim that was prepared by Dr. Kenneth Murray Dawson, a professional geologist, of North Vancouver, British Columbia. Dr. Dawson is a member of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia, a member of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, a member of the Mineralogical Association of Canada and a corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Science. His report discusses the geology of the area surrounding and particular to the CATHI 1 claim, and makes a recommendation for further exploration work.
In his report, Dr. Dawson concludes that the CATHI 1 claim has the potential to contain notable silver, gold, zinc and copper mineralization within quartz veins. Geochemical studies released by the BC Geological Survey Branch indicate a modest potential for zinc, silver, gold and molybdenum. Dr. Dawson is of the opinion that this data, along with geophysical and geochemical maps showing soil anomalies and magnetic anomalies, provides enough information to warrant further investigation to confirm the work and showings noted to date.
Conclusions
Dr. Dawson, the author of the geological report on the CATHI 1 claim, recommends that the southwestern half of the claim should be prospected and geochemically sampled. He is of the opinion, based on the results from the work report, that we purchase or option the adjoining properties from the current owners for the purpose of carrying out regional geochemical and prospecting surveys. Prospecting involves analyzing rocks on the property surface with a view to discovering indications of potential mineralization. Geochemical sampling involves gathering chip samples and grab samples from property areas with the most potential to host economically significant mineralization based on past exploration

results. Grab samples are soil samples or pieces of rock that appear to contain metals such as gold, silver, copper and nickel. All samples gathered will be sent to a laboratory where they are crushed and analysed for metal content.
Exploration Budget
Our proposed exploration budget for the recommended phase one exploration program, consisting of geochemical sampling and prospecting, is as follows:
Geologist
$2,500
Technician
$1,000
Room and board
$400
Supplies
$400
Assays
$1,200
Report
$1,500
Filing Fees
$400
Total:
$7,400
Following the completion of the phase one exploration program and a review of the results, our consulting geologist will then provide us with recommendations and a budget for a phase two exploration program on the CATHI 1 property.
Compliance with Government Regulation
We will be required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the exploration of minerals in Canada generally, and in the Province of British Columbia, specifically. The governmental agencies responsible for overseeing the exploration of minerals in Canada are primarily the Ministry of Natural Resources Canada and the Ministry of the Environment. In British Columbia, the responsible government agency is the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources.
Under these laws, prior to production, we have the right to explore the property, subject only to a notice of work which may entail posting a bond. In addition, production of minerals in the Province of British Columbia will require prior approval of applicable governmental regulatory agencies. We can provide no assurance to investors that such approvals will be obtained. The cost and delay involved in attempting to obtain such approvals cannot be known at this time.
We have budgeted for regulatory compliance costs in the proposed work program recommended by the geological report. Such costs will be less than $500 and will consist of having any significant soil or rock that is moved during the exploration process returned to its original location. Soil and rock movement during proposed exploration is anticipated to be negligible.
We will have to sustain the cost of reclamation and environmental mediation for all exploration (and development) work undertaken. The amount of these costs is not known at this time as we do not know the extent of the exploration program that will be undertaken beyond completion of the recommended work program. However, it is anticipated that such costs will not exceed $20,000 for future exploration phases. Because there is presently no information on the size, tenor, or quality of any resource or reserve at this time, it is impossible to assess the impact of any capital expenditures on earnings, our competitive position or us in the event a potentially economic deposit is discovered.
- 25 -
If we enter into production, the cost of complying with permit and regulatory environment laws will be greater than in phase one because the impact on the project area is greater. Permits and regulations will control all aspects of any production program if the project continues to that stage because of the potential impact on the environment. Examples of regulatory requirements include:
-
Water discharge will have to meet water standards;
-
Dust generation will have to be minimal or otherwise re-mediated;
-
Dumping of material on the surface will have to be re-contoured and re-vegetated;
-
An assessment of all material to be left on the surface will need to be environmentally benign;
-
Ground water will have to be monitored for any potential contaminants;
-
The socio-economic impact of the project will have to be evaluated and if deemed negative, will have to be re-mediated; and
-
There will have to be an impact report of the work on the local fauna and flora.
During the exploration phase, a bond will need to be provided covering possible land disturbance. In the case of normal fieldwork, this should be minimal. The costs of compliance with environmental regulations in the production phase are variable and cannot be determined at this time.
Employees
We have no employees as of the date of this prospectus. Our two directors provide their services to us on a voluntary basis.
Research and Development Expenditures
We have not incurred any other research or development expenditures since our incorporation.
Subsidiaries
We do not have any subsidiaries.
Patents and Trademarks
We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patents or trademarks.
Reports to Security Holders
Although we are not required to deliver a copy of our annual report to our security holders, we will voluntarily send a copy of our annual report, including audited financial statements, to any registered shareholder who requests it. We will not be a reporting issuer with the Securities & Exchange Commission until our registration statement on Form SB-2 is declared effective.
We have filed a registration statement on form SB-2 under the Securities Act of 1933 with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the shares of our common stock offered through this

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Plan Of Operations
Our plan of operation for the twelve months following the date of this prospectus is to complete the recommended phase one exploration program on the CATHI 1 claim consisting of mapping, prospecting and geochemical sampling.
We anticipate that the program will cost approximately $7,400 based on an estimate provided by our consulting geologist, Kenneth M. Dawson. To date, we have not commenced exploration on the CATHI 1 claim. We intend to commence exploration on the CATHI 1 claim in the spring of 2007, as soon as weather conditions on the property permit. The program is estimated to take two months to complete, including the interpretation of results.
Geochemical sampling refers to the gathering of chip samples and grab samples from property areas with the most potential to host economically significant mineralization based on past exploration results. Grab samples are soil samples or pieces of rock that appear to contain precious metals such as gold and silver, or industrial metals such as copper and nickel. All samples gathered will be sent to a laboratory where they are crushed and analysed for metal content.
Dr. Dawson will provide and recommend further exploration and a budget for a phase two upon completion of phase one and a review of the results. We then intend to commence the phase two program in the summer or fall of 2007. We will not know the extent of this program until we have received the recommendations from Dr. Dawson following the completion of phase one.
In the next 12 months, we also anticipate spending an additional $25,000 on professional fees and administrative expenses, including fees payable in connection with the filing of this registration statement and complying with reporting obligations.
Total expenditures over the next 12 months are therefore expected to be approximately $32,400.
Our cash reserves are not sufficient to meet our obligations for the next twelve-month period. As a result, we will need to seek additional funding in the near future. We currently do not have a specific plan of how we will obtain such funding; however, we anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. We may also seek to obtain short-term loans from
- 27 -
our directors, although no such arrangement has been made. At this time, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock or through a loan from our directors to meet our obligations over the next twelve months. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing.
We do not expect to earn any revenue from operations until we have either commenced mining operations on the CATHI 1 claim or have sold an interest in the property to a third party. Before this occurs, we expect that we will have to complete current recommended exploration on the property, as well as additional exploration recommended by a geologist.
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the small business issuer's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Results Of Operations
Period Ending January 31, 2007
We have not earned any revenues from our incorporation on August 13, 2004 to January 31, 2007. We do not anticipate earning revenues unless we enter into commercial production on the CATHI 1 claim, which is doubtful. We have not commenced the exploration stage of our business and can provide no assurance that we will discover economic mineralization on the property, or if such minerals are discovered, that we will enter into commercial production.
We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $18,655 for the period from our inception on August 13, 2004 to January 31, 2007. These operating expenses were comprised of $6,440 for mineral property expenditures and $12,215 in general and administrative fees.
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue exploration activities. For these reasons our auditors believe that there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Period from August 13, 2004 (inception) to April 30, 2007
We have not earned any revenues from our incorporation on August 13, 2004 to April 30, 2007.

Market For Common Equity And Related Stockholder Matters
No Public Market for Common Stock
There is presently no public market for our common stock. We have
engaged a broker, Spartan Securities Group, who has
applied for trading of our common stock on the over the counter bulletin board upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
The application has not yet been approved and will not be approved, if ever, until after the effectiveness of our registration statement.
Consequently
, we can provide no assurance that our shares will be traded on the bulletin board or, if traded, that a public market will materialize. As well, there is no assurance that our stock may be resold at the offered price if and when an active secondary market might develop. Even if developed, a public market for our securities may not be sustained.
Stockholders of Our Common Shares
As of the date of this registration statement, we have 44 registered shareholders.
Rule 144 Shares
A total of 700,000 shares of our common stock are available for resale to the public after November 15, 2006 in accordance with the volume and trading limitations of Rule 144 of the Act. In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person who has beneficially owned shares of a company's common stock for at least one year is entitled to sell within any three month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:
1. 1% of the number of shares of our common stock then outstanding which, in our case,
will equal 23,800 shares as of the date of this prospectus; or
2. the average weekly trading volume of the company's common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.
- 29 -
Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about the company.
Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not one of the company's affiliates at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least two years, is entitled to sell shares without complying with the manner of sale, public information, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.
As of the date of this prospectus, persons who are our affiliates hold all of the 700,000 shares that may be sold pursuant to Rule 144.
Registration Rights
We have not granted registration rights to the selling shareholders or to any other persons.
Dividends
There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:
1. we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or
2. our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.
We have not declared any dividends, and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

Director Independence
Our securities are not listed on any stock exchange or quoted on any quotation system. We have engaged a broker who has applied to have our common shares quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, however, there is no guarantee that this application will be successful. The application will not be approved, if ever, until after the effectiveness of our registration statement. We will not need to meet any director independence requirements in order to qualify for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board.
The NASDAQ Stock Market has instituted director independence guidelines that have been adopted by the Securities & Exchange Commission. These guidelines provide that a director is deemed “independent” only if the board of directors affirmatively determines that the director has no relationship with the company which, in the board’s opinion, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. Significant stock ownership will not, by itself, preclude a board finding of independence.
For NASDAQ Stock Market listed companies, the director independence rules list six types of disqualifying relationships that preclude an independence filing. The company’s board of directors may not find independent a director who:
1.
is an employee of the company or any parent or subsidiary of the company;
2.
accepts, or who has a family member who accepts, more than $60,000 per year in payments from the company or any parent or subsidiary of the company other than (a) payments from board or committee services; (b) payments arising solely from investments in the company’s securities; (c) compensation paid to a family member who is a non-executive employee of the company’ (d) benefits under a tax qualified retirement plan or non-discretionary compensation; or (e) loans to directors and executive officers permitted under Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act;
3.
is a family member of an individual who is employed as an executive officer by the company or any parent or subsidiary of the company;
4.
is, or has a family member who is, a partner in, or a controlling shareholder or an executive officer of, any organization to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments for property or services that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenues for that year, or $200,000, whichever is more, other than (a) payments arising solely from investments in the company’s securities or (b) payments under non-discretionary charitable contribution matching programs;
5.
is employed, or who has a family member who is employed, as an executive officer of another company whose compensation committee includes any executive officer of the listed company; or
6.
is, or has a family member who is, a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor who worked on the company’s audit.
Both of our directors are also executive officers who are employed by the Company.
Accordingly, our board of directors has determined that our two directors, namely Dr. Tim Sun and Mar Bergstrom, are
not
independent under these rules.
- 31 -
Stock Option Grants
We have not granted any stock options to the executive officers since our inception.
Consulting Agreements
We do not have any employment or consulting agreement with Dr. Sun or Ms. Bergstrom. We do not pay them any amount for acting as directors. Both of our directors have agreed to volunteer their time to our business for the time being in order to allow us to focus our fiscal resources on operations with a view to increasing the value of their personal stock positions in the company. Our Board of Directors has not identified any triggering events that would determine when compensation will be paid to Dr. Sun or Ms. Bergstrom or what the terms of such compensation would be.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Geopulse Explorations Inc.:
We have audited the balance sheets of Geopulse Explorations Inc (an exploration stage company) as at January 31, 2007 and 2006 and the statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended January 31, 2007 and 2006, and for the period from August 13, 2004 (inception) to January 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits 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, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at January 31, 2007 and 2006 and the results of its operations and cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity for the year ended January 31, 2007 and 2006, and for the period from August 13, 2004 (inception) to January 31, 2007 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 1 to the financial statements, to date the Company has not generated revenues since inception, has incurred losses in developing its business, and further losses are anticipated. The Company requires additional funds to meet its obligations and finance its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

GEOPULSE EXPLORATIONS INC. (An Exploration Stage Company) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS January 31, 2007 | ||
1. | NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN |
|
Geopulse Explorations Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 13, 2004 and is in the exploration stage. The Company has acquired a mineral interest located in the Province of British Columbia, Canada, and has not yet determined whether this interest contains reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of costs incurred for acquisition and exploration of the property will be dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company’s interest in the underlying property, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to satisfy the expenditure requirements under the property agreement and to complete the development of the property and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the sale thereof.
Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $18,655 as at January 31, 2007 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business raising doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand and loans from directors and/or private placement of common stock.
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.
Exploration Stage Company
The Company complies with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 7 “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises” in its characterization of the Company as an exploration stage enterprise.
Foreign Currency Translation
Transaction amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated at exchange rates prevailing at transaction dates. Carrying values of monetary assets and liabilities are adjusted at each balance sheet date to reflect the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the original transaction date. Gains and losses from restatement of foreign currency assets and liabilities are included in comprehensive income. Revenues and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates such items are recognized in the statements of operations.
Mineral Interests
The Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized in accordance with EITF 04-2 when management has determined that probable future benefits consisting of a contribution to future cash inflows, have been identified and adequate financial resources are available or are expected to be available as required to meet the terms of property acquisition and budgeted exploration and development expenditures. Mineral property acquisition costs are expensed as incurred if the criteria for capitalization is not met. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred

GEOPULSE EXPLORATIONS INC. (An Exploration Stage Company) Notes To The Financial Statements January 31, 2007 | |
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
Mineral Interests (continued)
to develop such property are capitalized. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has incurred only acquisition and exploration costs which have been expensed. To date the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Financial instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and advances from related party. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to the short-term maturity of those instruments. In management's opinion, the Company is not exposed to significant interest rate, currency exchange rate or credit risk arising from these financial instruments. The Company is not party to any derivative instruments.
Environmental Costs
Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or the Company’s commitments to plan of action based on the then known facts.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences). The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. At January 31, 2007 a full deferred tax asset valuation allowance has been provided and no deferred tax asset benefit has been recorded.
Loss Per Share
The Company computes loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options and warrants using the treasury method. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Stock-based Compensation
The Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options. Accordingly, no stock-based compensation has been recorded to date.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its financial position and results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans.” This Statement requires an employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined benefit post retirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position, and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. SFAS No. 158 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 158 had no impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measures”. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), expands disclosures about fair value measurements, and applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. However, the FASB anticipates that for some entities, the application of SFAS No. 157 will change current practice. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which for the Company would be the fiscal year beginning February 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 but does not expect that it will have a material impact on its financial statements.
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB No. 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. SAB No. 108 is effective for periods ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 158 had no impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
3. | MINERAL INTERESTS |
Cathi 1 Claim, British Columbia, Canada
On August 13, 2004, the Company acquired a 100% undivided right, title and interest in the “Cathi 1” claim located in the province of British Columbia, Canada for $4,000. Cumulative property costs expensed to January 31, 2007 were $6,440 (January 31, 2006: $6,440).

4. | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS |
As at January 31, 2007, a balance of $945 (2006 - $6,500) is owing to the corporate manager of the Company. The amount is unsecured, non-interest bearing and has no specified terms of repayment.
5. | COMMON STOCK |
The total number of common shares authorized that may be issued by the Company is 75,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.001 per share and no other class of shares is authorized.
During the year ended January 31, 2006, the Company issued 1,900,000 shares of common stock at $0.001 per share for total cash proceeds of $19,000 and 480,000 shares of common stock at $0.05 for total cash proceeds of $24,000.
At January 31, 2007, there were no outstanding stock options or warrants and accordingly the Company has not recorded any stock based compensation.
6. | INCOME TAXES |
As of January 31, 2007, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $19,000 that may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income through 2027. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carry-forwards.

Part II
Information Not Required In The Prospectus
Indemnification Of Directors And Officers
Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes and our bylaws.
Under the NRS, director immunity from liability to a company or its shareholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically unless it is specifically limited by a company's articles of incorporation that is not the case with our articles of incorporation. Excepted from that immunity are:
(1)
a willful failure to deal fairly with the company or its shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director has a material conflict of interest;
(2)
a violation of criminal law (unless the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful);
(3)
a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit; and
(4)
willful misconduct.
Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Nevada law; provided, however, that we may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with our directors and officers; and, provided, further, that we shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless:
(1)
such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law;
(2)
the proceeding was authorized by our Board of Directors;
(3)
such indemnification is provided by us, in our sole discretion, pursuant to the
powers vested us under Nevada law; or
(4)
such indemnification is required to be made pursuant to the bylaws.
Our bylaws provide that we will advance all expenses incurred to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was our director or
- 53 -
officer, or is or was serving at our request as a director or executive officer of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request. This advanced of expenses is to be made upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts should it be ultimately determined that the person was not entitled to be indemnified under our bylaws or otherwise.
Our bylaws also provide that no advance shall be made by us to any officer in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made: (a) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding; or (b) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision- making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to our best interests.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
1. To file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(a)
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(b)
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement; and notwithstanding the forgoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration Statement; and
(c)
include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.
2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered hereby which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
4. That, for determining our liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, we undertake that in a primary offering of our securities pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, we will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus that we file relating to the offering required to be
filed pursuant to Rule 424 (Section 230.424 of this chapter);
(ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on our behalf or used or
referred to by us;
(iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material
information about us or our securities provided by or on behalf of us; and
(iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by us to the purchaser.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
- 57 -
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
