|   | Tao Minerals, Ltd. (an exploration stage company) (the
      Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on
      September 23, 2004. The Company is natural resource exploration company
      with an objective of acquiring, exploring and if warranted and feasible,
      developing natural resource properties.

|   | As reflected in the accompanying financial statements,
      the Company is in the exploration stage and has a cumulative negative cash
      flows from operations of $1,085,674 since inception and losses of
      $2,269,312 for the six month period ended July 31, 2010. This raises
      substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The
      ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the
      Companys ability to raise additional capital and implement its business
      plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might

      prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
      the United States of America. Because a precise determination of many
      assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of
      financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of
      estimates which have been made using careful judgment. Actual results may
      vary from these estimates. Prior periods have been adjusted to conform to
      the presentation of the financial statements ended July 31,
2010.

General Overview and Business Development over the Last
Three Years

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 23,
2004.

On July 16, 2008, through our majority owned subsidiary Minera
Tao S.A., we entered into an amended option agreement with Agrominas De
Colombia, LTDA to acquire 80% of a mining interest called El Comillo in
Antioquia Colombia. The agreement amended the terms of the original option
agreement entered into by Minera Tao on October 2, 2007, and subsequently
extended on April 18, 2008.

Under the terms of the amended option agreement, the purchase
price of the option is $1.42 billion Colombian pesos or approximately US$825,000
dollars. We paid $80,000,000 pesos (approximately US$50,000) upon closing of the
option agreement and are obligated to pay $40,000,000 pesos on the 15th of every
month until $320,000,000 pesos has been paid. Thereafter 20% of production will
be paid until $1.1 billion pesos have been received by Agrominas De Colombia.
After the acquisition price is paid Agrominas De Colombia will continue to
receive 20% of the mining production. Upon receipt of $1.42 billion pesos by
Agrominas De Colombia the option will be exercised and 80% ownership in the
property will be transferred to Minera Tao. To date, we have paid to Agrominas
De Colombia $240,000,000 pesos (or US$120,000).

From inception on September 23, 2004 to present, we have
engaged in no significant operations other than organizational activities,
acquiring and staking our properties, preparing the registrations of our
securities and planning Phase 1 of the exploration work on our Whale Mine Claims
and acquiring our Golondria Gold-Silver Project and El Comillo mining property.

Effective September 1, 2008 we entered into 3 year management
agreements with James Sikora and Julio De Leon, officers of our company, for
$10,000 per month and $9,000 per month, respectively, to provide financial
services one year. Each contract calls for annual renewals at the same rate if
not modified. The contract calls for each officer to receive options to acquire 33,000,000 million shares of
common stock exercisable evenly over three years. The contract also calls for
the issuance of 500,000 and 300,000 shares of preferred A stock, respectively,
to the two officers. As of the date of the quarterly report, neither the
preferred A stock nor the options have been issued and the agreement with
Julio De Leon has been cancelled.

On October 16, 2008, we entered into an agreement to issued a
$500,000 8% convertible debenture to Galleon Investments Ltd. All or any portion
of the amounts due under the convertible debenture, which matures 90 days from
the advancement date, may be converted at any time, at the option of the holder,
into common shares of our company at a conversion price of seventy five percent
(75%) of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of our common stock
for the five trading days immediately prior to the date that we receive notice
of conversion of the convertible debenture. The Note was to be funded by
December 31, 2008, however the note was not funded by that date.

Effective September 21, 2009, we effected a 200 for one (1)
share consolidation of our authorized and issued and outstanding common stock.
As a result, our authorized capital decreased from 552,000,000 shares of common
stock with a par value of $0.001 to 2,760,000 shares of common stock with a par
value of $0.001 and our issued and outstanding shares decreased from 547,370,946
shares of common stock to 2,736,854 shares of common stock.

The consolidation became effective with the Over-the-Counter
Bulletin Board at the opening for trading on September 23, 2009 under the new
stock symbol TAON. Our CUSIP number is 87600P303.

We are a start-up, exploration stage company and have not yet
generated or realized any revenues from our business operations. We must raise
cash in order to implement our plan and stay in business.

We are in the mineral resource business. This business
generally consists of three stages: exploration, development and production.
Mineral resource companies that are in the exploration stage have not yet found
mineral resources in commercially exploitable quantities, and are engaged in
exploring land in an effort to discover them. Mineral resource companies that
have located a mineral resource in commercially exploitable quantities and are
preparing to extract that resource are in the development stage, while those
engaged in the extraction of a known mineral resource are in the production
stage. Our company is in the exploration stage.

The address of our principal executive office is Officina 301
Edeficio El Crusero, Carrera 48, 12 Sur  148 Medellin Colombia. Our telephone
numbers is 0115-314-2330.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the
symbol "TAON".

Mineral resource exploration can consist of several stages. The
earliest stage usually consists of the identification of a potential prospect
through either the discovery of a mineralized showing on that property or as the
result of a property being in proximity to another property on which exploitable
resources have been identified, whether or not they are or have in the past been
extracted.

After the identification of a property as a potential prospect,
the next stage would usually be the acquisition of a right to explore the area
for mineral resources. This can consist of the outright acquisition of the land
or the acquisition of specific, but limited, rights to the land (e.g., a
license, lease or concession). After acquisition, exploration would probably
begin with a surface examination by a prospector or professional geologist with
the aim of identifying areas of potential mineralization, followed by detailed
geological sampling and mapping of this showing with possible geophysical and
geochemical grid surveys to establish whether a known trend of mineralization
continues through un-exposed portions of the property (i.e., underground),
possibly trenching in these covered areas to allow sampling of the underlying
rock. Exploration also commonly includes systematic regularly spaced drilling in
order to determine the extent and grade of the mineralized system at depth and
over a given area, as well as gaining underground access by ramping or shafting
in order to obtain bulk samples that would allow one to determine the ability to
recover various commodities from the rock. Exploration might culminate in a
feasibility study to ascertain if the mining of the minerals would be economic.
A feasibility study is a study that reaches a conclusion with respect to the
economics of bringing a mineral resource to the production stage.

Our mineral resource properties consist of exploration claims
located in Columbia (Risaldo La Golondrina D14-082 mineral property located in
Narino, Colombia) ( El Colmillo mineral property located in Antioquia,
Colombia). There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit
exists on any of our properties, and further exploration is required before we
can evaluate whether any exist and, if so, whether it would be economically and
legally feasible to develop or exploit those resources. Even if we complete our
current exploration program and we are successful in identifying a mineral
deposit, we would be required to spend substantial funds on further drilling and
engineering studies before we could know whether that mineral deposit will
constitute a reserve (a reserve is a commercially viable mineral deposit).
Please refer to the section entitled Risk Factors, of this quarterly report on
Form 10-Q, for additional information about the risks of mineral
exploration.

Our Current Business

We are an exploration stage company that has not yet generated
or realized any revenues from our business operations. We had concentrated our
recent exploration efforts on the La Golondrina Property in Columbia over our
fiscal year ending January 31, 2010. In July, 2008 we acquired a mineral right
in the El Colmillo property in Colombia. In October, 2009, our company decided
to employ our efforts in exploration of the El Colmillo property for the next 12
months and will hold exploration of the Golondrina property until a
determination of viability at El Colmillo can be determined. In December 2008,
company personnel at the El Colmillo property were met by Colombian rebels who
demanded a war tax to permit the development activities to continue. Our company
immediately ceased any efforts at the mine and reported the situation to the
Colombian government and to the issuer of the option. Our company invoked the
force majeure section of the contract and is waiting to see what developments
will take place.

of $294,441 for the six month period ended July 31, 2009. Our losses have
increased primarily as a result of an increase in general and administrative
expenses.

Revenues

We have not earned any revenues since our inception and we do
not anticipate earning revenues in the near future.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

As of July 31, 2010, our current total assets were $1,020,297
and our total current liabilities were $1,503,704 and we had a working capital
deficit of $483,407. Our financial statements report a net loss of $2,269,312
for the six month period ended July 31, 2010, and a net loss of $10,777,904 for
the period from September 23, 2004 (date of inception) to July 31, 2010.

We have suffered recurring losses from operations. The
continuation of our company is dependent upon our company attaining and
maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital as needed. In
this regard we have raised additional capital through equity offerings and loan
transactions.

$483,407 as of July 31, 2010 compared to working capital deficit of $1,284,833
as of July 31, 2009.

Our principal sources of funds have been from sales of our
common stock and short term loans.

Contractual Obligations

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to
provide tabular disclosure obligations.

Going Concern

We have not yet achieved profitable operations and are
dependent on our ability to raise capital from stockholders or other sources to
meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business
operations when they become due, in their report on our audited financial
statements for the year ended January 31, 2009, our independent auditors
included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to
continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note
disclosure describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our
independent auditors.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Item 3. Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risks

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to
provide the information required by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports
filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president (also
our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal
accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.

As of July 31, 2010, the end of the quarter covered by this
report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of our president (also our principal executive officer, principal
financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our
president (also our principal executive officer, principal financial and
accounting officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
not effective in providing reasonable assurance in the reliability of our
reports as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

There have been no changes in our internal controls over
financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended July 31, 2010 that
have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings
against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material
proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Much of the information included in this quarterly report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other "forward looking statements". Such forward looking statements include any projections or estimates made by us and our management in
connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will
almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein.

Such estimates, projections or other "forward looking statements" involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual
results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other "forward looking statements".

Our common shares are considered speculative during the development of our new business operations. Prospective investors should consider carefully the risk factors set out below.

Risks Associated With Our Business

All of our properties are in the exploration stage. There is no assurance that we can establish the existence of any mineral resource on any of our properties in commercially exploitable quantities. Until we can do so, we cannot earn any revenues
from operations and if we do not do so we will lose all of the funds that we expend on exploration. If we do not discover any mineral resource in a commercially exploitable quantity, our business could fail.

Despite exploration work on our mineral properties, we have not established that any of them contain any mineral reserve, nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to do so. If we do not, our business could fail.

A mineral reserve is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in its Industry Guide 7 (which can be viewed over the Internet at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/forms/industry.htm#secguide7) as that part of a mineral deposit
which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. The probability of an individual prospect ever having a "reserve" that meets the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission's
Industry Guide 7 is extremely remote; in all probability our mineral resource property does not contain any 'reserve' and any funds that we spend on exploration will probably be lost.

Even if we do eventually discover a mineral reserve on one or more of our properties, there can be no assurance that we will be able to develop our properties into producing mines and extract those resources. Both mineral exploration and development
involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.

The commercial viability of an established mineral deposit will depend on a number of factors including, by way of example, the size, grade and other attributes of the mineral deposit, the proximity of the resource to infrastructure such as a
smelter, roads and a point for shipping, government regulation and market prices. Most of these factors will be beyond our control, and any of them could increase costs and make extraction of any identified mineral resource unprofitable.

We have a limited operating history and as a result there is no assurance we can operate on a profitable basis.

We have a limited operating history and must be considered in the exploration stage. Our company's operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of an exploration stage enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the
absence of a significant operating history. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by 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. The expenditures to be made by us in the exploration of the mineral
claims may not result in the discovery of mineral deposits. Problems such as
unusual or unexpected formations of rock or land and other conditions are
involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration
efforts. If the results of our exploration do not reveal viable commercial
mineralization, we may decide to abandon our claims and acquire new claims for
new exploration or cease operations. The acquisition of additional claims will
be dependent upon us possessing capital resources at the time in order to
purchase such claims. If no funding is available, we may be forced to abandon
our operations. No assurance can be given that we may be able to operate on a
profitable basis.

14

---

If we do not obtain additional financing, our business will
fail and our investors could lose their investment.

We had cash in the amount of $72,103 and a working capital
deficit of $483,407 as at our quarter ended July 31, 2010. We currently do not
generate revenues from our operations. Our business plan calls for substantial
investment and cost in connection with the acquisition and exploration of our
mineral properties currently under lease and option. Any direct acquisition of
the claim under lease or option is subject to our ability to obtain the
financing necessary for us to fund and carry out exploration programs on the
properties. The requirements are substantial. We do not currently have any
arrangements for additional financing and we can provide no assurance to
investors that we will be able to find such financing if required. Obtaining
additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including market
prices for minerals, investor acceptance of our properties, and investor
sentiment. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of
additional financing unavailable to us. The most likely source of future funds
presently available to us is through the sale of equity capital and loans. Any
sale of share capital will result in dilution to existing shareholders.

Because there is no assurance that we will generate
revenues, we face a high risk of business failure.

We have not earned any revenues as of the date of this
quarterly report and have never been profitable. We do not have an interest in
any revenue generating properties. We were incorporated in September 2004 and to
date have been involved primarily in organizational activities and limited
exploration activities. Prior to our being able to generate revenues, we will
incur substantial operating and exploration expenditures without realizing any
revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable
future. We have limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our future
success or failure can be made. Our net loss from inception to our quarter ended
July 31, 2010 was $10,777,904. We have incurred losses for the quarter ended
July 31, 2010 of $2,269,312. We recognize that if we are unable to generate
significant revenues from our activities, we will not be able to earn profits or
continue operations. Based upon current plans, we also expect to incur
significant operating losses in the future. We cannot guarantee that we will be
successful in raising capital to fund these operating losses or generate
revenues in the future. We can provide investors with no assurance 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 and
our investors could lose their investment.

Because of the speculative nature of the exploration of
natural resource properties, there is substantial risk that this business will
fail.

There is no assurance that any of the claims we explore or
acquire will contain commercially exploitable reserves of minerals. Exploration
for natural resources is a speculative venture involving substantial risk.
Hazards such as unusual or unexpected geological formations and other conditions
often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. We may also become subject to
significant liability for pollution, cave-ins or hazards, which we cannot insure
or which we may elect not to insure.

Our foremost project is located in Colombia where mineral
exploration activities may be affected in varying degrees by political and
government regulations which could have a negative impact on our ability to
continue our operations.

Certain projects in which we have interests are located in
Colombia. Mineral exploration activities in Colombia may be affected in varying
degrees by political instabilities and government regulations relating to the
mining industry. Any changes in regulations or shifts in political conditions
are beyond our control and may adversely affect our business. Operations may be
affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to
restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, income taxes,
expropriations of property, environmental legislation and mine safety. The
status of Colombia as a developing country may make it more difficult for us to
obtain any required financing for our projects. The effect of all these factors
cannot be accurately predicted. Notwithstanding the progress achieved in
restructuring Colombia political institutions and revitalizing its economy, the
present administration, or any successor government, may not be able to sustain
the progress achieved. While the Colombian economy has experienced growth in
recent years, such growth may not continue in the future at similar rates or at
all. If the economy of Colombia fails to continue its growth or suffers a
recession, we may not be able to continue our operations in that country. We do
not carry political risk insurance.

If we cannot compete successfully for financing and for
qualified managerial and technical employees, our exploration program may
suffer.

Our competition in the mining industry includes large
established mining companies with substantial capabilities and with greater
financial and technical resources than we have. As a result of this competition,
we may be unable to acquire additional financing on terms we consider
acceptable. We also compete with other mining companies in the recruitment and
retention of qualified managerial and technical employees. If we are unable to
successfully compete for financing or for qualified employees, our exploration
program may be slowed down or suspended.

If we are unable to hire and retain key personnel, we may
not be able to implement our business plan.

Our success is also largely dependent on our ability to hire
highly qualified personnel. This is particularly true in highly technical
businesses such as mineral exploration. These individuals are in high demand and
we may not be able to attract the personnel we need. In addition, we may not be
able to afford the high salaries and fees demanded by qualified personnel, or
may lose such employees after they are hired. Failure to hire key personnel when
needed, or on acceptable terms, would have a significant negative effect on our
business.

Inability of our officers and directors to devote sufficient
time to the operation of the business may limit our company's success.

Presently some of our officers and directors allocate only a
portion of their time to the operation of our business. If the business requires
more time for operations than anticipated or the business develops faster than
anticipated, the officers and directors may not be able to devote sufficient
time to the operation of the business to ensure that it continues as a going
concern. Even if this lack of sufficient time of our management is not fatal to
our existence, it may result in limited growth and success of the business.

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 exploration of 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.

Our independent certified public accounting firm, in their
Notes to the audited financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2010
states that there is a substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a
going concern.

Our independent certified public accounting firm state in their
Notes to the audited financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2010,
that we have experienced significant losses since inception. Failure to arrange
adequate financing on acceptable terms and to achieve profitability
would have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations,
cash flows and prospects, there is a substantial doubt that we will be able to
continue as a going concern.

We are subject to various government regulations and
environmental concerns.

We are subject to various government and environmental
regulations. Permits from a variety of regulatory authorities are required for
many aspects of exploration, mining operations and reclamation. We cannot
predict the extent to which future legislation and regulation could cause
additional expense, capital expenditures, restrictions, and delays in the
development of our U.S. or Colombian properties, including those with respect to
unpatented mining claims.

Our activities are not only subject to extensive federal, state
and local regulations controlling the exploration and mining of mineral
properties, but also the possible effects of such activities upon the
environment. Future legislation and regulations could cause additional expense,
capital expenditures, restrictions and delays in the development of our
properties, the extent of which cannot be predicted. Also, as discussed above,
permits from a variety of regulatory authorities are required for many aspects
of mine operation and reclamation. In the context of environmental permitting,
including the approval of reclamation plans, we must comply with known
standards, existing laws and regulations that may entail greater or lesser costs
and delays, depending on the nature of the activity to be permitted and how
stringently the regulations are implemented by the permitting authority. We are
not presently aware of any specific material environmental constraint affecting
our properties that would preclude the economic development or operation of any
specific property.

If we become more active on our properties, it is reasonable to
expect that compliance with environmental regulations will increase our costs.
Such compliance may include feasibility studies on the surface impact of the our
proposed operations; costs associated with minimizing surface impact, water
treatment and protection, reclamation activities, including rehabilitation of
various sites, on-going efforts at alleviating the mining impact on wildlife,
and permits or bonds as may be required to ensure our compliance with applicable
regulations. It is possible that the costs and delays associated with such
compliance could become so prohibitive that we may decide to not proceed with
exploration, development, or mining operations on any of our mineral
properties.

Risks Associated with Our Common Stock

Trading on the OTC Bulletin Board may be volatile and
sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common stock and make it
difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board service of
the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Trading in stock quoted on the OTC
Bulletin Board is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading
prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or
business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common
stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin
Board is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin
Board is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a
quotation system like NASDAQ or a stock exchange like Amex. Accordingly,
shareholders may have difficulty reselling any of their shares.

Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be
restricted by the SECs penny stock regulations and FINRAs sales practice
requirements, which may limit a stockholders ability to buy and sell our stock.

Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange
Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines penny stock to be
any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per
share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain
exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose
additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons
other than established customers and accredited investors. The term
accredited investor refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of
$5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual
income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock
rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not
otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure
document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny
stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The
broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer
quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its
salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market
value of each penny stock held in the customers account. The bid and offer
quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must
be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction
and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customers
confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a
transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these 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
agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect
of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock
that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock
rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We
believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in, and limit
the marketability of, our common stock.

17

---

In addition to the penny stock rules promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority
has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer,
a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment
is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced
securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make
reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customers financial status,
tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations
of these rules, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority believes that there
is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be
suitable for at least some customers. The Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend
that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy
and sell our stock.

Other Risks

Because some of our officers and directors are located in
non-U.S. jurisdictions, you may have no effective recourse against the non U.S.
officers and directors for misconduct and may not be able to enforce judgment
and civil liabilities against our officers, directors, experts and
agents.

Some of our directors and officers are nationals and/or
residents of countries other than the United States, specifically Canada and
Colombia, and all or a substantial portion of such persons assets are located
outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to
enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against our officers or
directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of
the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof.

Trends, Risks and Uncertainties

We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most
significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what
extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have
identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully
consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with
respect to our common stock.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of
Proceeds

On May 6, 2010, our directors agreed to issue 6,000,000 shares
in settlement of services and entered into four (4) consulting agreements to
provide various financial and management services for the period April 16, 2010
through October 16, 2010. Compensation for the four (4) agreements amounted to
10,000,000 shares of our companys restricted common stock.

On May 20, 2010, our directors approved settlement agreements
with two of our lenders. From time to time each of the lenders may elect in its
sole and absolute discretion to exchange all or a portion of the outstanding
balance to common stock. Each of the lenders may convert the debt at a price per
share equal to 50% of the lowest closing bid price of our companys common stock
for the trailing 30 days.

During the quarter ended July 31, 2010, one of the lenders
converted $114,227 of Notes and derivative payable for 5,115,133 shares our
common stock.
