NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 December 31, 2008

NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of M45 Mining Resources Inc (“M45” or “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for a complete presentation of the financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments (consisting of a normal and recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at December 31, 2008 (unaudited) and the results of its operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 (unaudited) and cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007(unaudited). Interim financial statements are prepared on a basis consistent with the Company’s annual financial statements. Results of operations for the nine months period ended December 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009.

These financial statements and the notes hereto should be read in conjunction with financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-KSB and Form 10-KSB/A for the year ended March 31, 2008, which were filed June 30, 2008 and July 6, respectively.

M45 Mining Resources Inc.’s, new strategy is focused on building shareholder value through the exploration and development of mineral claims, particularly in the Matagami Mining Camp located in Quebec, Canada. The Matagami Mining Camp is known for its zinc-rich massive sulphide deposits. Initial exploratory work in the Camp can be traced back to the 1930's with Noranda's activities in the region. Ten of the eighteen deposits discovered to date have been mined and have produced a total of 3.9 Mt zinc and 0.4 Mt copper.

M45 management believed that there were likely one or more deposits situated within the limits of the Claims due to the fact that the property is located near past producers and existing deposits. Management has commenced its first phase exploration program in early April and conducted full surveying and NI-43-101 to determine the location of potential deposits. On June 7 2007, the company received final results of the NI-43-101 reports confirming the presence of deposits. The Company intends to initiate a massive drilling program as per the geologist’s recommendation, which is contained in the report. The drilling program cost will represent a total of $2.8 million Canadian dollars.

On October 9, 2007, M45 management finalized the acquisition of 160 mining titles covering a total area of 8,935 Hectares in the East area of the Matagami Mining Camp. The mining titles were acquired from "Miniere Grenville," a Canadian Corporation, for a total nominal consideration of One Million Two Hundred and fifty thousand dollars payable in common shares at a set price value of $ 0.20 for a total number of restricted shares of 6,250,000. This acquisition is a key milestone of the "East Wind" phase of the Company's business development program.
 
The mining titles are situated on the east side of Matagami Mining Camp adjacent to properties owned by Xstrada plc, the world's fifth largest diversified mining company by market capitalization. These strategic territories strengthen M45's presence in the Matagami Camp by adding a new series of high-grade potential mining titles to the Company's existing "West Wind" territories. The Matagami Mining Camp is a world-class mining district, composed of 18 known volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits. The area is host to historical production of 8.6 billion pounds of Zinc and 853 million pounds of Copper and has established infrastructure including a railway, paved road and a 2,350 t/day mill owned by Falconbridge/Xstrada plc.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2008

Basis of Presentation (continued)
 
As of June 27, 2009, the Company has no full-time employees. The President and Secretary-Treasurer have agreed to allocate a portion of their time without compensation to the activities of the Company.

The Company had no revenues for the period July 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008. The Company has hired an external geologist firm to conduct geologic reports NI-43-101 on its Matagami property for an approximate cost of $90,000. The Company also incurred operation costs related to completing marketing material such as; Logo’s Web site, summaries and other corporate presentation material. M45 has started to pay rent and common shared expenses as of April 1 2007; the agreement is for rent, telephone, utilities and other operation support cost as a set price of $3,500 a month. The Company also incurred expenses to cover for legal fees, filing expenses, press releases, traveling expenses, representation costs, mailings, research costs, and various operational costs, which totals approximately $459,794.  The $459,794 was paid by majority control person and is reported as an advance from shareholder. The shareholder has agreed to continue to support operational costs until the Company can generate revenues from financing activities and or from commercial operations.

Significant Accounting Policies

Cash and cash equivalents.

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company holds cash and cash equivalent balances in a bank and other financial institutions. Balances in excess of FDIC limitations may not be insured. There are no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2008.
 
Property and equipment.

Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major additions and improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs that do not extend the lives of assets are expensed. Gain or loss, if any, on the disposition of fixed assets is recognized currently in operations. Depreciation is calculated primarily on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the assets.
 
Research and development.

Research and development costs principally represent consulting fees of the Company’s geologist and engineering professionals, material and payments to third parties for clinical trials and additional product development and testing. All research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2008

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Exploration Stage Company

The Company complies with Financial Accounting Standard Board Statement No. 7 and The Securities and Exchange Commission Exchange Act Guide 7 for its characterization of the Company as pre-exploration stage.

Capitalization of Mineral Claim Costs

Cost of acquisition, exploration, carrying and retaining unproven properties are expensed as incurred until such time as reserves are proven.  Costs incurred in proving and developing a property ready for production are capitalized and amortized over the life of the mineral deposit or over a shorter period if the property is shown to have an impairment in value.  Expenditures for mining equipment are capitalized and depreciated over their useful life.

Use of estimates.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions, such as useful lives of property and equipment, 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 expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Stock-based compensation.

The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R, “ Share Based Payment ” (“SFAS 123R”), which requires all share-based payments, including grants of stock options, to be recognized in the income statement as an operating expense, based on their fair values. Stock-based compensation is included in general and administrative expenses for all periods presented.
 
Fair value of financial instruments.

The Company follows SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value based on their short-term maturity. Stockholder loans are carried at cost.
 
Long-lived assets.

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, ” the Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets, including long-term investments, for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be recoverable. Any long-lived assets held for disposal are reported at the lower of their carrying amounts or fair value less costs to sell.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2008

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Income taxes.

The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes, as set forth in SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). SFAS 109 prescribes an asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities. The Company’s policy is to record a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, when the deferred tax asset is not recoverable. The Company considers estimated future taxable income or loss and other available evidence when assessing the need for its deferred tax valuation allowance.

Comprehensive Income (loss).

SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income (Loss),” requires companies to classify items of other comprehensive income (loss) in a financial statement. Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The Company’s comprehensive net loss is equal to its net loss for all periods presented.

Foreign Currency Translation.

The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar. Foreign currency transactions occasionally occur, and are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. Management has adopted SFAS No. 52, " Foreign Currency Translation ". Monetary balance sheet items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Canadian dollars at rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Daily closing rates are used to translate revenues and expenses into Canadian dollars at rates of exchange in effect on a specific date. Resulting translation gains and losses are charged to operations. The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. Transactions in foreign currency are translated into United States dollars as follows:

Monetary items at the rate prevailing at the balance sheet date;

Non-monetary items at the historical exchange rate;

Revenue and expenses that are monetary items are valued at the average rate in effect during the applicable accounting period.

Interest Rate Risk.

The Company is exposed to fluctuating interest rates.

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share.

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “ Earnings per Share ” (SFAS 128). SFAS 128 requires dual presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. The Company had no potential common stock instruments which would result in a diluted loss per share.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Development Stage Company.

The Company currently has no revenues and is considered to be a development stage company under the provision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 7, " Accounting and reporting by Development Stage Enterprises. "

Reclassifications.

Certain amounts reported in the previous year’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Revenue Recognition.

In December 2003, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition" (SAB 104), which supersedes SAB 101, " Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements ." The primary purpose of SAB 104 is to rescind accounting guidance contained in SAB 101 related to multiple element revenue arrangements, which was superseded as a result of the issuance of EITF 00-21, "Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables." While the wording of SAB 104 has changed to reflect the issuance of EITF 00-21, the revenue recognition principles of SAB 101 remain largely unchanged by the issuance of SAB 104. The adoption of SAB 104 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements because it has not recognized any revenue to date.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 for one year for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for those items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. We have determined that the adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
 
Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities- including an amendment of FASB Statement 115” (“SFAS 159”). This statement provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. As of December 31, 2008, we elected not to use the fair value option allowed by SFAS 159. We have determined that the adoption of SFAS 159 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “ Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated   Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 will be effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. We are currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 160 on our consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 R “ Business Combinations ” (“SFAS 141R”), which establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. SFAS 141R also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in a business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of a business combination. SFAS 141R will be effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. While we have not yet evaluated the impact, if any, that SFAS 141R will have on our consolidated financial statements, we will be required to expense costs related to any acquisitions consummated after December 31, 2008.
 
In December 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus reached on Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 07-1, “ Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements Related to the Development and Commercialization of Intellectual Property ” (“EITF 07-1”).  EITF 07-1 defines collaborative arrangements and establishes reporting requirements for transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement and between participants in the arrangement and third parties.  EITF 07-1 will be effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009.  We are currently evaluating the potential impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “ The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ” (“SFAS 162”).  SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States. SFAS 162 will become effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 162 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Restatement.

The Company Amended its Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2007, to restate the financial statements for errors in the proper recording of stock-based compensation and mining title costs paid for with common stock of the Company.  In the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the company increased general and administrative expenses by $3.319 million, as a result of issuing 7,000,000 share of common stock to officers, directors, and employees. This error resulted from a communications issue between outside financial consultants.  The Company  implemented new accounting and communication controls to ensure that all future stock-based compensation for employees and non-employees and the cost of issuing common stock for purchases and services is accurately reported in the appropriate quarterly reporting period.

NOTE 2: GOING CONCERN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. This contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in these consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $ 6,838,790 from inception to December 31, 2008 and does not have significant cash or other material assets, nor does it have operations or a source of revenue sufficient to cover its operation costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of its new business. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon management to meet any costs and expenses incurred. Management realizes that this situation may continue until the Company obtains additional working capital through equity financing.

NOTE 4: PAYABLE DUE TO RELATED PARTIES

At December 31, 2008, the Company was indebted to Andrea M. Cortellazzi, a shareholder and director of the Company. The amount due to the related party is $459,794 and bears interest at 6% per annum.

NOTE 5 COMMON STOCK

The Company has authorized capital stock of 55,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $.001, of which 37,241,530 shares were issued and outstanding as of June 27, 2009. The Company's common stock commenced trading on January 27, 1999 on the OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB) operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., under the symbol "MRES."

NOTE 6: BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER SHARE
 
Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. Diluted potential common shares consist of incremental shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants. In computing diluted net loss per share for the nine and nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, no adjustment has been made to the weighted average outstanding common shares as the assumed exercise of outstanding options and warrants is anti-dilutive.

NOTE 7: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
The Company is obligated under various operating lease agreements for office space. Generally, the lease agreements require the payment of base rent plus escalations for increases in building operating costs and real estate taxes. Rental expense under operating leases totaled $21,000 for the nine months ended December 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

NOTE 8: INCOME TAXES
 
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method described in SFAS No. 109, “Accounting For Income Taxes,” the objective of which is to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. A valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. All of the Company’s deferred tax assets have been fully reserved by a valuation allowance due to management's uncertainty regarding the future profitability of the Company.
 
The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”) “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” The Company has recognized no adjustment for uncertain tax provisions.
 
The tax years 2003 through 2008 remain open to examination by the major tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates.

RISK FACTORS

Our auditor has raised a concern regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.  M45 is in the development stage and we have not generated revenues since inception.  We continue to incur operating expenses, legal and accounting expenses, consulting fees, and marketing expenses.  These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Business of Issuer

M45 Mining Resources Inc.'s new strategy is focused on building shareholder value through the exploration and development of mineral claims, particularly in the Matagami Mining Camp located in Quebec, Canada. The Matagami Mining Camp is known for its zinc-rich massive sulphide deposits. Initial exploratory work in the Camp can be traced back to the 1930's with Noranda's activities in the region. Ten of the eighteen deposits discovered to date have been mined and have produced a total of 3.9 Mt zinc and 0.4 Mt copper.

M45 Management believes that there are likely one or more deposits situated within the limits of the Claims due to the fact that the property is located near past producers and existing deposits.

Management has commenced its first phase exploration program in early April and conducted full surveying and NI-43-101 to determine the location of potential deposits. On June 7, 2007, the company received final results of the NI-43-101 reports confirming the presence of deposits. The Company intends to initiate a massive drilling program as per the geologist's recommendation, which is contained in the report. The drilling program cost will represent a total of $2.8 million Canadian dollars.

On October 9, 2007, M45 management finalized the acquisition of 160 mining titles covering a total area of 8,935 Hectares in the East area of the Matagami Mining Camp. The mining titles were acquired from "Miniere Grenville," a Canadian Corporation, for a total nominal consideration of One Million Two Hundred and fifty thousand dollars payable in common shares at a set price value of $ 0.20 for a total number of restricted shares of 6,250,000. This acquisition is a key milestone of the "East Wind" phase of the Company's business development program.

On or about October 12, 2007, the Registrant received a Technical Report on the East Wind Property, dated October 5, 2007 from InnovExplo - Geologist Consulting Firm, Mines & Exploration containing a detailed analysis of the mining claims owned by the Registrant. In the report M 45 received confirmation of some anomalous Zinc rock values associated with Gold showings from diamond drill holes on its East Wind Property.
 
The mining titles are situated on the east side of Matagami Mining Camp adjacent to properties owned by Xstrata plc, the world's fifth largest diversified mining company by market capitalization. These strategic territories strengthen M45's presence in the Matagami Camp by adding a new series of high-grade potential mining titles to the Company's existing "West Wind" territories. The Matagami Mining Camp is a world-class mining district, composed of 18 known volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits. The area is host to historical production of 8.6 billion pounds of Zinc and 853 million pounds of Copper and has established infrastructure including a railway, paved road and a 2,350 t/day mill owned by Falconbridge/Xstrata plc.
 
During the month of December 2007, management entered into a series of discussions with various investment groups in regards to an investment in equity for an amount between $5 to 10 millions. The company is now negotiating the terms with 2 selected firms one located in New York, and with a European investment group and anticipates positive results by middle of March 2008.

The Company expects to encounter intense competition in its efforts to become a leader in mining exploration. Many large and small companies compete in this intense market. The principal means of competition vary among categories and business groups; however, the value of the territories is certainly to be taken into consideration. The competing entities will have significantly greater experience, financial resources, facilities, contacts and managerial expertise, than the Company.

Results of Operation

The Company had no revenues for the period April 1, 2004 to December 31, 2008. The Company has hired an external geologist firm to conduct geologic reports NI-43-101 on its Matagami property for an approximate cost of $90,000. The Company also incurred operation costs related to completing marketing material such as; Logo's Web site, summaries and other corporate presentation material. M45 has started to pay rent and common shared expenses as of April 1, 2007; the agreement is for rent, telephone, utilities and other operation support cost at a set price of $3,500 a month. The Company also incurred expenses to cover for legal fees, filing expenses, press releases, traveling expenses, representation costs, mailings, research costs, and various operational costs. The Company also incurred expenses to cover for legal fees, filing expenses, press releases, traveling expenses, representation costs, mailings, research costs, and various operational costs, which totals approximately $459,794.  The $459,794 was paid by majority control person and is reported as an advance from shareholder. The shareholder has agreed to continue to support operational costs until the Company can generate revenues from commercial operations or increase capital through various financing arrangements, and to convert the advances made to the Company into equity in restricted shares.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
M45 is a development stage company, and as of the date of this report, had no operations that generate revenue and the Company does not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to satisfy its cash requirements for the next twelve months. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $6,838,790. The Company continues to report negative stockholders’ equity and does not have sufficient assets to pay current liabilities as they come due. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon several factors; including the ability to attain profitable business operations and generate a positive cash flow. Management plans to raise additional capital investment in the Company, and it believes the necessary investment will be forthcoming within the next nine month period. There can be no assurance that equity financings will be available to the Company in the future that will be obtained on terms satisfactory to the Company. In the event that the Company’s efforts to obtain such financing prove unsuccessful, the Company may be required to abandon its current business goals and cease operations.

M45’s current management have indicated a willingness to continue rendering services to the Company, to advance sufficient funds to meet our operational needs, and not to demand payment of sums owed. The Company believes, therefore, that it can continue as a going concern in the near future.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
For the period ending December 31, 2008, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk .
 
Not required for smaller reporting companies as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act .

ITEM 4.   Controls and Procedures.

Our management, under the supervision of and with the participation of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of September 30, 2009, the period covered by this report.  Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls were not effective as of that date.

As of March 31, 2008, the Company reported a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting relating to lack of policies and procedures, lack of sufficient accounting staff, lack of segregation of duties necessary for a good system of internal control, over-reliance upon independent financial reporting consultants, the adequacy of accounting systems with procedures to ensure that financial information is secure and accurately recorded and reported. A material weakness is defined in Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 5 as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  In connection with our overall assessment of internal control over financial reporting, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our internal controls as of September 30, 2009 and have concluded that the material weaknesses first reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A issued for the year ended March 31, 2008, and further described in this paragraph, were not remediated as December 31, 2008.

ITEM 4.   Controls and Procedures (continued).
 
Except for the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as referenced in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 (and further described above), no other material weaknesses were identified in our evaluation of internal controls as of December 31, 2008.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Remediation plans established and initiated by management during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 continue to be implemented.  There were no other changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2008 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

While we have implemented or continue to implement our remediation activities, we believe it will take multiple quarters of effective application of the control activities, including adequate testing of such control activities, in order for us to revise our conclusion regarding the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting.
