General
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 21, 2006. We are an exploration stage corporation. An exploration stage corporation is one engaged in the search for mineral deposits or reserves which are not in either development or production stages. We maintain our statutory registered agent's office at The Corporation Trust Company of Nevada, 6100 Neil Road, Suite 500, Reno, Nevada 89511. Our business office is located at 3390 Toopal Drive, Oceanside, California 92058. This is our mailing address as well. Our telephone number is (210) 862-3071. Ms. Miller, our secretary/treasurer, provides our office space on a rent-free basis.
We have no plans to change our business activities or to combine with another business. We are not aware of any events or circumstances that might cause us to change our plans.
Background
We are an exploration stage mining company, incorporated in Nevada.
The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation and is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining claims. Upon location of a commercial minable reserve, the Company expects to actively prepare the site for its extraction and enter a development stage.
On May 9, 2006, the Company acquired, from a private company controlled by an officer/shareholder of the Company, a 100% interest in three contiguous mineral claims (now amalgamated into one mineral claim) encompassing over 800 hectares in the Cariboo Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada, for consideration of a cash payment of $10,000. During the fiscal year 2010, the Company’s mineral claim interest was expired and lapsed. The Company is in the process of locating other mineral claim interests for its planned business operations.
Employees
We intend to use the services of subcontractors for exploration work on our properties.
Employees and Employment Agreements
At present, we have no full-time employees. Our two officers and directors are part-time employees and each will devote about 10% of their time or four hours per week to our operation. Our officers and directors do not have employment agreements with us. We presently do not have pension, health, annuity, insurance, stock options, profit sharing or similar benefit plans. However, we may adopt plans in the future. There are presently no personal benefits available to our officers and directors. Marilyn Miller, one of our officers and directors, will handle our administrative duties. Further, our director Marilyn Miller entered into a consulting agreement with us on July 1, 2010 to provide certain consulting service. Because our officers and directors are inexperienced with exploration, they will hire qualified persons to perform the surveying, exploration, and excavating of the property. As of today, we have not looked for or talked to any geologists or engineers who will perform work for us in the future.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
We do not own any property.
We are not presently a party to any litigation.
During the fourth quarter, there were no matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders.
4
Only a limited market exists for our securities. There is no assurance that our limited market will develop into a regular trading market, or if developed, that it will be sustained. Therefore, a shareholder in all likelihood will be unable to resell his securities in our company. Furthermore, it is unlikely that a lending institution will accept our securities as pledged collateral for loans unless a regular trading market develops.
Our company's securities are traded over-the-counter on the Bulletin Board operated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) under the symbol “GLNS”. Our shares were listed for trading on July 3, 2007.

Dividend Policy
We have not declared any cash dividends. We do not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations.
Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Our shares are covered by section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended that imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses). For transactions covered by the Rule, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase and have received the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the Rule may affect the ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities and also may affect your ability to sell your shares in the secondary market.
Section 15(g) also imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny securities. These rules require a one page summary of certain essential items. The items include the risk of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary marketing; terms important to in understanding of the function of the penny stock market, such as “bid” and “offer” quotes, a dealers “spread” and broker/dealer compensation; the broker/dealer compensation, the broker/dealers duties to its customers, including the disclosures required by any other penny stock disclosure rules; the customers rights and remedies in causes of fraud in penny stock transactions; and, the NASD's toll free telephone number and the central number of the North American Administrators Association, for information on the disciplinary history of broker/dealers and their associated persons.
Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans
We have no equity compensation plans and accordingly we have no shares authorized for issuance under an equity compensation plan.
Status of our public offering
On October 25, 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared our Form SB-2 Registration Statement effective, file number 333-137922, permitting us to offer up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.10 per share. There was no underwriter involved in our public offering.
On March 28, 2007, we completed our public offering by raising $107,000. We sold 1,070,000 shares of our common stock at an offering price of $0.10 per share.
5
Use of Proceeds
Since the time of raising money by offering shares of our stock, we have proceeds of $107,000. We have used proceeds (net of $2,832 accounts payable and accrued liabilities and $40,274 loan payable) for the following: $118,332 for professional fees, $15,859 for consulting fees, $10,000 for a mineral claim payment, $3,758 for transfer and filing, and $9,181 for office and sundry outlays. Our total cash outlays have been offset by a $6,971 foreign exchange gain.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
This section of the prospectus includes a number of forward- looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this prospectus. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.
Plan of Operation
We are a start-up, exploration stage corporation and have not yet generated or realized any revenues from our business operations.
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not generated any revenues and do not anticipate generating any revenues until we begin removing and selling minerals. There is no assurance we will ever achieve these goals. Accordingly, we must raise cash from sources other than the sale of minerals in order to implement our project and stay in business. Our only other source for cash at this time is investments by others.
Our exploration target is to find an mineralized material, specifically, an ore body containing gold. Our success depends upon finding mineralized material. This includes a determination by our consultant that the property contains reserves. We have not yet selected a consultant. Mineralized material is a mineralized body which has been delineated by appropriate spaced drilling or underground sampling to support sufficient tonnage and average grade of metals to justify removal. If we don’t find mineralized material or if it is not economically feasible to remove it, we will cease operations and you will lose your investment.
In addition, we may not have enough money to complete the acquisition and exploration of a property. If it turns out that we have not raised enough money to complete our acquisition we will try to raise additional funds from a second public offering, a private placement or through loans. At the present time, we have not made any plans to raise additional money and there is no assurance that we would be able to raise additional money in the future. If we need additional money and cannot raise it, we will have to suspend or cease operations.
Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital
There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are an exploration stage corporation and have not generated any revenues from operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in the acquisition and exploration of our properties, and possible cost overruns due to price increases in services.
To become profitable and competitive, we need to identify a property and conduct research and explore our property before we start production of any minerals we may find. If we do find mineralized material, we will need additional funding to move beyond the research and exploration stage. We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.
6
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have completed our public offering as of March 28, 2007 and to date have raised $107,060, we will attempt to raise additional money through a subsequent private placement, public offering or through loans.
Currently, we do not have sufficient funds for our intended business operation. Ms. Miller, one of our officers and directors, has agreed in financing the related operating expenditures to maintain the Company. The foregoing agreement is oral; we have nothing in writing. While Ms. Miller has agreed to advance the funds, the agreement is unenforceable as a matter of law because no consideration was given. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash. If we need additional cash and can't raise it, we will either have to suspend operations until we do raise the cash, or cease operations entirely. Other than as described in this paragraph, we have no other financing plans.
Since inception, we have issued 7,070,000 shares of our common stock and received $107,060.
In March 2006, we issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock to Kathrine MacDonald, our former secretary/treasurer, in consideration of $30 and we issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock to Marilyn Miller, one of our officers and directors, in consideration of $30 pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1993.
We issued 1,070,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. This was accounted for as a purchase of shares of common stock.
During the fiscal year 2010, $24,374 was advanced by companies controlled by / related to a director / a principal shareholder of the Company to cover the operating expenses. On June 1, 2010, the Company assigned the amounts due to related parties of $40,274 to ATP Corporate Services Corp.
As of June 30 2010, our total assets were $7 and our total liabilities were $43,106.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
GOLDEN STAR RESOURCE CORP.
(An exploration stage company)
We have audited the balance sheets of
Golden Star Resource Corp.
(“the Company”) (an exploration stage company)
as at June 30, 2010 and 2009 and the related statements of stockholders’ (deficiency) equity, operations and comprehensive loss and cash flows for the years then ended. 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 audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstance, 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at June 30, 2010 and 2009 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements refer to above have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses from inception and has not generated revenue to date. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS
|
Organization
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada, U.S.A., on April 21, 2006.
Exploration Stage Activities
The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation and is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining claims. Upon location of a commercial minable reserve, the Company expects to actively prepare the site for its extraction and enter a development stage. During the fiscal year 2010, the Company’s mineral claim interest was expired and lapsed. Currently, the Company is actively looking for other mineral properties for its planned business operation.
Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
The general business strategy of the Company is to acquire and explore mineral properties. The continued operations of the Company and the recoverability of mineral property costs is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of its properties, and upon future profitable production. The Company has not generated any revenues or completed development of any properties to date. Further, the Company has a working capital deficit of $43,099 (2009- $30,038) has incurred losses of $150,159 since inception, and further significant losses are expected to be incurred in the exploration and development of its mineral properties. The Company will require additional funds to meet its obligations and maintain its operations. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be successful in raising the necessary financing. Management’s plans in this regard are to raise equity financing as required.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. 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. The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
|
a) Exploration Stage Enterprise
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting and according to the provisions of ASC 915 “Accounting and Reporting for Development Stage Enterprises,” as it devotes substantially all of its efforts to acquiring and exploring mineral properties. Until such properties are acquired and developed, the Company will continue to prepare its financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with entities in the exploration stage.
b) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
c) Mineral Property Acquisition Payments
The Company expenses all costs incurred on mineral properties to which it has secured exploration rights prior to the establishment of proven and probable reserves. If and when proven and probable reserves are determined for a property and a feasibility study prepared with respect to the property, then subsequent exploration and development costs of the property will be capitalized.
The Company regularly performs evaluations of any investment in mineral properties to assess the recoverability and/or the residual value of its investments in these assets. All long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances change which indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
d) Exploration Expenditures
The Company follows a policy of expensing exploration expenditures until a production decision in respect of the project and the Company is reasonably assured that it will receive regulatory approval to permit mining operations, which may include the receipt of a legally binding project approval certificate.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
|
e) Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company has adopted ASC 410, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, which requires that an asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset be recognized as a liability in the period which it is incurred and becomes determinable, with an offsetting increase in the carrying amount of the associated asset.
The cost of the tangible asset, including the initially recognized ARO, is depleted, such that the cost of the ARO is recognized over the useful life of the asset. The ARO is recorded at fair value, and accretion expense is recognized over time as the discounted liability is accreted to its expected settlement value. The fair value of the ARO is measured using expected future cash flow, discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. To date, no significant asset retirement obligation exists due to the early stage of exploration. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded.
f) Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
g) Financial Instruments
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

g) Financial Instruments, continued
The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to related parties. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of our cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company believes that the recorded values of all of the other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
The Company’s operations are in Canada, which results in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The financial risk is the risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.
On July 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 820-10,
Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active,
which addresses the application of Accounting Standard Update No.820 for illiquid financial instruments. ASC 820-10 clarifies that approaches to determining fair value other than the market approach may be appropriate when the market for a financial asset is not active. The adoption of ASC 820-10 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
On July 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 820-10, "Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly". The ASC 820-10 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurements
, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. This ASC 820-10 also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
On July 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 825-10,
Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
. The ASC 825-10 amends ASC 825,
Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
, and ASC 270,
Interim Financial Reporting
, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. Adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
On July 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 320-10,
Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments
. The ASC 320-10 amend the other-than-temporary impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This ASC 320-10 does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

h) Environmental Costs
Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are charged to operations 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 charged to operations. 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.
i) Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes” and ASC 740 —Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which require the liability method of accounting for income taxes. The liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities.
j) Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
The Company reports basic loss per share in accordance with ASC 260 – “Earnings Per Share”. Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is equal to basic loss per share because there are no potential dilutive securities.
On July 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 260-10,
Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities
. ASC 260-10 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and affects entities that accrue cash dividends on share-based payment awards during the awards’ service period when the dividends do not need to be returned if the employees forfeit the awards. ASC 260-10 states that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method. The adoption of ASC 260-10 does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Newly Adopted Accounting Policies
On July 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 855,
Subsequent Events.
ASC 855 establishes general standards of accounting for disclosing events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for selecting that date, that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company.
On July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the FASB issued ASC 105
The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
ASC 105 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP in the United States. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company.
On July 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 805-10 (revised 2007), Business Combinations. This statement replaces ASC 805, Business Combinations and applies to all transactions or other events in which an entity (the acquirer) obtains control of one or more businesses (the acquiree), including those sometimes referred to as “true mergers” or “mergers of equals” and combinations achieved without the transfer of consideration. This statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company.

In July 2009, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by EITF (Emerging Issues Task Force) issued EITF No. 09-1, (ASC Topic 470) "
Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance
" ("EITF 09-1"). The provisions of EITF 09-1, clarifies the accounting treatment and disclosure of share-lending arrangements that are classified as equity in the financial statements of the share lender. An example of a share-lending arrangement is an agreement between the Company (share lender) and an investment bank (share borrower) which allows the investment bank to use the loaned shares to enter into equity derivative contracts with investors. EITF 09-1 is effective for fiscal years that beginning on or after December 15, 2009 and requires retrospective application for all arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009. Share-lending arrangements that have been terminated as a result of counterparty default prior to December 15, 2009, but for which the entity has not reached a final settlement as of December 15, 2009 are within the scope. Effective for share-lending arrangements entered into on or after the beginning of the first reporting period that begins on or after June 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the provisions of EITF 09-1 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-13,
Revenue Recognition
(Topic 605):

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-02,
Consolidation
(Topic 810):
Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary
. This amendment to Topic 810 clarifies, but does not change, the scope of current US GAAP. It clarifies the decrease in ownership provisions of Subtopic 810-10 and removes the potential conflict between guidance in that Subtopic and asset derecognition and gain or loss recognition guidance that may exist in other US GAAP. An entity will be required to follow the amended guidance beginning in the period that it first adopts FAS 160 (now included in Subtopic 810-10). For those entities that have already adopted FAS 160, the amendments are effective at the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to the first period that an entity adopted FAS 160. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-02 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06
regarding fair value measurements and disclosures and improvement in the disclosure about fair value measurements
. This ASU requires additional disclosures regarding significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 of fair value measurements, including a description of the reasons for the transfers. Further, this ASU requires additional disclosures for the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, requiring presentation of information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU; however, the Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our financial statements.
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASC No. 2010-09, “
Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements
”, which eliminates the requirement for SEC filers to disclose the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events. ASC No. 2010-09 is effective for its fiscal quarter beginning after 15 December 2010. The adoption of ASC No. 2010-09 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements ASU No. 2010-13 was issued in April 2010, and clarified the classification of an employee share based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the underlying security trades. This ASU will be effective for the first fiscal quarter beginning after December 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-13 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, being June 30, 2010, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our company’s disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as at the end of the period covered by this report. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
Disclosure controls and procedures and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of the controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.
Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance with respect to the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures which pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on this evaluation under the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2010.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm with respect to internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission which permit us to provide only our management’s report in this Annual Report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified during the year ended June 30, 2010 which have materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
None.

Conflicts of Interest

We have not paid any salaries in 2010 and we do not anticipate paying any salaries at any time in 2011. We will not begin paying salaries until we have adequate funds to do so. Our directors do not receive any compensation for serving as members of the board of directors.
On July 1, 2010, we entered into a consulting agreement with our director Marilyn Miller for a term of 24 months for a fee of $2,500 per month.
There are no other stock option plans, retirement, pension, or profit sharing plans for the benefit of our officers and directors other than as described herein.
To date, we have not entered into employment contracts with any of our officers and do not intend to enter into any employment contracts until we have adequate funds to do so.
Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards
We do not have any long-term incentive plans that provide compensation intended to serve as incentive for performance.
Indemnification
Under our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the corporation, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a law suit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding in which he is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney's fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.
Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Nevada law, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
The following table sets forth, as of the date of this report, the total number of shares owned beneficially by each of our directors, officers and key employees, individually and as a group, and the present owners of 5% or more of our total outstanding shares.

The 6,000,000 shares are restricted securities, as defined in Rule 144 of the Rules and Regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Securities Act. Under Rule 144, the shares can be publicly sold, subject to volume restrictions and restrictions on the manner of sale, commencing one year after their acquisition. Rule 144 provides that a person may not sell more than 1% of the total outstanding shares in any three month period and the sales must be sold either in a brokers’ transaction or in a transaction directly with a market maker.
Ms. MacDonald and Ms. Miller will likely sell a portion of their stock, if the market price goes above $0.10. If they sell their stock into the market, the sales may cause the market price of the stock to drop. In general, sales of shares held by officers or large shareholders, after applicable restrictions expire, could have a depressive effect on the market price of our common stock.
Because our officers, directors and a principle shareholder control us, regardless of the number of shares sold, your ability to change the course of our operations is eliminated. As such, there is no value attributable to the right to vote. This could result in a reduction in value to the shares you own because of the ineffective voting power.
No common stock is subject to outstanding options, warrants or securities convertible into common stock.
In April 2006, 3,000,000 shares of common stock were issued to Dimac Capital Corp., a corporation owned and controlled by Kathrine MacDonald, our former officer and director. Additionally, 3,000,000 shares of common stock were issued to Marilyn Miller, one of our officers and directors. These transactions were accounted for as acquisitions of shares of common stock for consideration of $30.
Mr. Bergstrom and Ms. Miller are our only promoters. They have not received or will they receive anything of value from us, directly or indirectly, in their capacities as promoters.
During the fiscal year 2010, Dimac Capital Corp. advanced $9,274 to cover our operating expenses. On June 1, 2010, we assigned the total amount of $25,176 owed to Dimac Capital Corp. to ATP Corporate Services Corp.
