EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
This Amendment No.1 on Form10-Q/A (“the Amendment”) amends Golden River Resources Corporation (the “Company”) quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2009 as filed on February 16, 2010 (the “Form 10-Q”). The Company has filed this Amendment to restate previously issued financial statements and the accompanying notes as of and for the period ended December 31, 2009 contained in Item 1. Financial Statements. The Amendment restates the accounting for the acquisition of Acadian Mining Corporation (“Acadian”). During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company completed the accounting for the acquisition of Acadian and as a result, adjustments were made to the preliminary fair value of accounting at the date of acquisition. In addition, during the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company and the holder of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock approved a 1-for-10 reverse stock split. The Company has accounted for this reverse stock split in this amended filing and accordingly, all share and per share data has been retroactively restated.
 
The amendment includes corresponding numerical and/or textual changes in Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, and Item 4. Controls and Procedures. The Amendment includes new certifications by our Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer and Director, Secretary and Chief Financial Officer pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as exhibits 31.1 and 31.2, and Certification Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 1350 as exhibits 32.1 and 32.2.
 
Except as expressly set forth above, the  Amendment No.1 does not amend, update  or restate  any other information or disclosures to reflect developments since the original date of filing of the quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, this Form 10-Q/A should be read in conjunction with the Company’s filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the filing of the original quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
 
The filing of this amendment shall not be deemed an admission that the original Form 10-Q, when originally filed, included any untrue statement of material fact or knowingly omitted to state a material fact necessary to make statement therein not misleading.

PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
Item 1.
 
Introduction to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Golden River Resources Corporation (“Golden River Resources” or the “Company”) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009.
 
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and consolidating entries, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009, the results of its consolidated operations for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and the changes in its consolidated cash flows for the six month periods ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, have been included.  The results of consolidated operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Foreign Currency Translation

Prior to July 1, 2009, the Company’s functional and reporting currency was the Australian dollar and its subsidiary, Golden Bull Resources Corporation’s functional currency was the Canadian dollar. However, as a result of the purchase of the controlling interest in Acadian Mining Corporation in Canada in July 2009, the Company’s fiscal 2010 revenue and expenses will be primarily denominated in Canadian dollars (CDN$). ASC Topic 830 “Foreign Currency Matters” states that the functional currency of an entity is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Accordingly the Company determined that from July 1, 2009 the functional and reporting currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar. Assets, liabilities and portions of equity were translated at the rate of exchange at July 1, 2009 and portions of equity were translated at historical exchange rates.  Revenue and expenses were translated at actual rates. Translation gains and losses were included as part of accumulated other comprehensive loss.
 
Restatement of comparative numbers was made for the change in functional and reporting currency. The change was adopted prospectively beginning July 1, 2009 in accordance with ASC Topic 830.
 
UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED, ALL FINANCIAL INFORMATION PRESENTED IS IN CANADIAN DOLLARS.

GOLDEN RIVER RESOURCES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
 
(1)           Organisation
 
Golden River Resources Corporation (“Golden River Resources”), formerly Bay Resources Ltd, is incorporated in the State of Delaware. The principal shareholders of Golden River Resources are companies associated with Mr JI Gutnick and Mrs S Gutnick. These companies owned 96.7% of Golden River Resources as of December 31, 2009.
 
During fiscal 1998, Golden River Resources incorporated a further subsidiary, Baynex.com Pty Ltd, under the laws of Australia. Baynex.com Pty Ltd has not traded since incorporation. On August 21, 2000, Golden River Resources incorporated a new wholly owned subsidiary, Bay Resources (Asia) Pty Ltd, a corporation incorporated under the laws of Australia. In May 2002, the Company incorporated a new wholly owned subsidiary, Golden Bull Resources Corporation (formerly 4075251 Canada Inc), a corporation incorporated under the laws of Canada. Golden Bull Resources Corporation is undertaking exploration activities for gold in Canada. On March 8, 2006, shareholders approved the change of the Company’s name to Golden River Resources.
 
Golden River Resources as part of its business strategy is increasing its gold and base metal exploration activity in Canada and is continually sourcing new ground in Canada which is one of the most prospective areas for new gold discoveries. On March 17, 2009, the Company announced that it had reached agreement with Acadian Mining Corporation (TSX: ADA) ("Acadian") to subscribe in a private placement transaction for up to 338,111,334 common shares ("Offering") in Acadian for aggregate gross investment of up to CDN$10 million. The Offering was contemplated to close in two or more tranches giving Golden River a 68.76% holding of Acadian.
 
The closing of the first tranche, for an aggregate of CDN$1.0 million (38,111,334 shares) was subject to receipt of the required regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange which occurred in early June 2009. Upon completion of closing of the initial tranche, the Company was entitled to nominate one member to the board of directors of Acadian and nominated Mr Menachem Vorchheimer. The Company held a 19.9% interest in Acadian at June 30, 2009.
 
The balance of the subscription by Golden River Resources into Acadian of CDN$9 million (300,000,000 shares at CDN$0.03 per share) was expected to be completed in one or more tranches upon the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, approval of the shareholders of Acadian and the satisfaction of certain other conditions precedent, including completion of due diligence by the Company. Acadian obtained approval from its shareholders at its annual meeting in June 2009.
 
 Throughout July 2009, Golden River Resources subscribed for further shares to a value of CDN$4 million and at July 31, 2009, the Company held a 52.764% interest in Acadian. As a result, Golden River Resources has since that time consolidated the results of Acadian. On September 30, 2009, a further closing for an aggregate of CDN$1 million occurred increasing the Company interest in Acadian to 57.145% and during October 2009, Golden River Resources completed its subscription in Acadian by subscribing for shares to the value of CDN$4 million which increased its interest in Acadian to 68.76%.
 
The financial statements presented herein have been prepared on a consolidated basis to include the accounts of Golden River Resources, Acadian and its other subsidiaries (collectively “the Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

(2)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
(i)  
Functional and Reporting Currency
 
Prior to July 1, 2009, the Company’s functional and reporting currency was the Australian dollar and its subsidiary, Golden Bull Resources Corporation’s functional currency was the Canadian dollar. However, as a result of the purchase of the controlling interest in Acadian Mining Corporation in Canada in July 2009, the Company’s fiscal 2010 revenue and expenses will be primarily denominated in Canadian dollars (CDN$). ASC Topic 830 “Foreign Currency Matters” states that the functional currency of an entity is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Accordingly the Company determined that from July 1, 2009 the functional and reporting currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar. Assets, liabilities and portions of equity were translated at the rate of exchange at July 1, 2009 and portions of equity were translated at historical exchange rates.  Revenue and expenses were translated at actual rates. Translation gains and losses were included as part of accumulated other comprehensive loss.
 
Restatement of comparative numbers was made for the change in functional and reporting currency. The change was adopted prospectively beginning July 1, 2009 in accordance with ASC Topic 830.
 
(ii)  
Property, plant and equipment
 
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided for on office assets using the declining balance method at the following annual rates (in the year of acquisition one-half of the calculated depreciation is recognized):
 
Vehicles
    30 %
Building
    5 %
Office fixtures and computer equipment
    20 %
 
Mine site assets are depreciated on a straight line balance method over the expected life of the mine at thirteen and one half years; assets under capital lease are depreciated on a straight line basis over the four year term of the lease.
 
All other assets are depreciated over a period covering their estimated useful lives.
 
(iii)  
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, receivables, payables, advances from and payables to affiliates due to the short term maturities of these instruments. The Company believes that the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments approximate the carrying values, unless otherwise stated since the current interest rates approximate market rates.
 
(iv)  
Lease Liability
 
Leases meeting certain criteria are accounted for as a capital lease. Imputed interest is charged against income. The capitalised value of the assets is depreciated over the term of the lease. The Company has entered into leasing agreements of four year terms for mining equipment. Obligations under capital lease are reduced by the rental payments net of imputed interest. All other leases are treated as operating leases.
 
(v)  
Net Profit/Loss per Share
 
The Company follows the FASB ASC Topic 260 “Earnings per Share” provisions which require the reporting of both basic and diluted profit/(loss) per share. Basic profit/(loss) per share is computed by dividing net profit/(loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net profit/(loss) per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Anti-dilutive effects on net profit/(loss) per share are excluded.
 
 
 
10

 
 
(vi)  
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
 
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, "Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," the Company assesses potential impairments to its long-lived assets including property, plant and equipment and mineral rights when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset compared to the asset’s carrying value. If the asset's carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value is expensed to the consolidated statement of operations. In assessing fair value, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate
 
(3)   Affiliate Transactions
 
Golden River Resources advances to and receives advances from various affiliates.  All advances between consolidated affiliates are eliminated on consolidation.
 
During the six months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, AXIS advanced the Company CDN$251,091 and CDN$105,862 respectively and provided services in accordance with the service agreement of CDN$74,515 and CDN$65,032 respectively.

During September 2009 pursuant to the subscription agreement, the Company has closed in private placement transactions with NCRC, the sale of 5,056,671 shares of common stock at an issue price of US$1.00 per share raising CDN$5,567,587.

The amount owed to NCRC at December 31, 2009 under current liabilities – advances from affiliates was CDN$4,578,600, It is the intention of NCRC and the Company to convert approximately CDN$4 million into shares of common stock in the Company.  NCRC currently holds approximately 90.73% of the outstanding common stock of the Company.
 
Acadian shares office facilities with Royal Roads Corp and Buchans River Ltd (non-consolidated entities of Acadian).  During the period ended December 31, 2009 Acadian charged CDN$124,844 in common costs to these companies. The amount charged is estimated to be the fair value of the costs.

(4)   Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, also known as FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, (“ASC 105-10”). ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) as the single source of authoritative US GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative US GAAP for SEC registrants. The subsequent issuances of new standards will be in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) that will be included in the Codification. Generally, the Codification is not expected to change US GAAP. All other accounting literature excluded from the Codification will be considered non-authoritative. This ASC is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company adopted this ASC for its quarter ended September 30, 2009. The adoption did not have any effect on our financial condition or results of operations. All accounting references have been updated, and therefore SFAS references have been replaced with ASC references.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued amended ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations.  ASC 805 establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.  The provisions of ASC 805 are effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning July 1, 2009 which applies prospectively to all business combinations entered into on or after such date. Golden River’s acquisition of Acadian (see note 10) was and any other future acquisitions will be impacted by application of this statement.
 
In April 2008, the FASB issued amended ASC Topic 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”). ASC 350 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under former SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This new guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset acquisitions. ASC 350 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of ASC 350 has had no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
 
The Company adopted the “Financial Instruments Topic”, ASC 825 on April 1, 2009.  This standard requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements as well as in annual financial statements.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 320-10-65, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (“ASC 320-10-65”). ASC 320-10-65 amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance 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. ASC 320-10-65 does not amend existing recognition and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. ASC 320-10-65 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. ASC 320-10-65 does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption, ASC 320-10-65 requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. The adoption of ASC 320-10-65 has had no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events. This topic requires management to evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are either issued, or available to be issued. Companies will be required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 855 effective for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  The adoption of this topic did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
 
Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. This topic defines fair value, establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework for measuring fair value, and requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.  The provisions of this topic apply to all financial instruments that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis.  The adoption of ASC 820 has had no material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. (“ASU”) 2009-05, “Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value.” ASU 2009-05 supplements and amends the existing definition of fair value while reintroducing the concept of entry value (amount an entity would receive to enter into an identical liability) into the definition. Additionally, ASU 2009-05 clarifies that restrictions preventing the transfer of a liability should not be considered as a separate input or adjustment in the measurement of its fair value. ASU 2009-05 is effective for the first reporting period, including interim periods, beginning after August 2009. The provisions of ASU 2009-05 do not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements..
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 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 GAAP. It clarifies the decrease in ownership provisions of Subtopic 810-10. For those entities that have already adopted FAS No. 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 FAS160. The provisions of ASU 2010-02 did not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.
 
(5)            Comprehensive Profit (Loss)
 
The Company follows ASC Topic 220 “Comprehensive Income” (“ASC 220”). ASC 220 requires a company to report comprehensive profit/(loss) and its components in a full set of financial statements. Comprehensive profit/(loss) is the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources, such as unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency translation adjustments. There are no material differences between net profit/(loss) and other comprehensive profit/(loss) for the periods presented.
 
(6)            Going Concern
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.  The Company is in the exploration stage, has sustained recurring losses which raises substantial doubts as to its ability to continue as a going concern.
 
In addition the Company has historically relied on loans and advances from corporations affiliated with the President of the Company.  Based on discussions with these affiliate companies, the Company believes this source of funding will continue to be available.  Other than the arrangements noted above, the Company has not confirmed any other arrangement for ongoing funding.  As a result the Company may be required to raise funds by additional debt or equity offerings in order to meet its cash flow requirements during the forthcoming year.
 
The accumulated deficit of the Company from inception through December 31, 2009 amounted to CDN$22,193,000 of which CDN$2,555,000 is retained profits from July 2002, the date the Company entered the Exploration Stage, through December 31, 2009.
 
(7)           Issue of Options under Stock Option Plan
 
The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 718 Compensation-Stock Compensation ( “ASC 718”), which addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which a company receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of that company or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the company’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments.
 
The Company has accounted for all options issued based upon their fair market value using either the Black Scholes or Binomial option pricing method. Prior to 2006, the Company used the Black Scholes option pricing method to determine the fair market value of options issued. In 2006, the Company changed from using the Black Scholes option pricing method to the Binomial option pricing model. The Binomial option pricing model breaks down the time to expiration into a number of steps or intervals and can therefore be used to value American style options, taking into account the possibility of early exercise and reflect changing inputs over time. The options issued in 2006 have three vesting periods and therefore, the Company believed the Binomial option pricing model is a more accurate measure of the fair value of the options.

In October 2004, the Board of Directors and Remuneration Committee of the Company adopted a Stock Option Plan and agreed to issue 140,000 options to acquire shares of common stock in the Company, at an exercise price of US$10.00 per option, subject to shareholder approval which was subsequently received on January 27, 2005. All such options were vested by July 2006. The exercise price of US$10.00 was derived from the issue price of common stock from the placement of shares on September 30, 2004 and is considered by the Company’s Directors to be the fair value of the common stock.  The options expire on October 15, 2014.
 
The Company calculated the fair value of the 140,000 options using the Black Scholes valuation method using a fair value share price of US$10.00, strike price of US$10.00, maturity period of 5 years 7 ½ months, risk free interest rate of 5.15% and volatility of 20%.  This equates to a value of US$3.185 per option. The total value of the options equates to CDN$1,645,780 (US$1,352,820) and such amount was amortized over the vesting period. At December 31, 2009, the options were fully vested.
 
Consistent with the provisions of ASC 718, the Company recorded the fair value of stock option grants in stockholders equity. Under ASC 718 an equity instrument is not considered to be issued until the instrument vests. Accordingly, as provided in ASC 718 effective July 1, 2005, the Company has reversed CDN$551,000 (US$445,900) being the unamortized restricted stock compensation at June 30, 2005 included in stockholders equity for the unvested portions of stock option grants awarded prior to the effective date of ASC 718.
 
Since the issue of the options, 60,000 options have lapsed following the termination of participants to the issue.
 
A summary of the options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2009 are as follows:
 
   
Outstanding
   
Exercisable

On October 19, 2006, the Directors of the Company agreed to offer a further 465,000 options under the Stock Option Plan. The options have no issue price, an exercise price of US$3.084 and a latest exercise date of October 19, 2016. The options vest 1/3 on October 19, 2007 (“T1”), 1/3 on October 19, 2008 (“T2”) and 1/3 on October 19, 2009 (“T3”). The Company obtained an external valuation on the options from an unrelated third party.
 
The Company, through an unrelated third party consultant, has calculated the fair value of the 465,000 options using the binomial option pricing model using a fair value share price of US$3.00, exercise price of US$3.084, expected life T1 - 5 years 6 months, T2 - 6 years, T3 - 6 years 6 months, risk-free interest rate of 4.75% and volatility of 90%. The total value of the options equates to CDN$1,207,860 (US$1,060,200) and such amount was amortised over the vesting period. For the six months ended December 31, 2009, the amortization amounted to CDN$39,421 and no options were forfeited. At December 31, 2009, the options were fully vested.
 
Since the issue of the options, 60,000 options have lapsed following the termination of participants to the issue.

(8)   Profit(Loss) per share
 
Basic profit/(loss) per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. In prior periods the Company had on issue 1,000,000 special warrants which are exercisable at any time until expiration and for no consideration. On July 1, 2009 the Company re-purchased the warrants and immediately cancelled the options.
 
Profit/(Loss) per share
 
The Company calculates profit/(loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”.
 
The following table reconciles the weighted average shares outstanding used for the computation:

(9)   Commitments
 
In June 2008, the Company agreed on terms with Tahera Diamond Corporation to obtain full control of the mining properties that are listed in the Tahera/GRR agreement through the issuance of 300,000 shares of common stock and the payment of CDN$86,000. The CDN$86,000 was paid prior to June 30, 2008. The issuance of 300,000 shares of common stock has not been brought to account in the financial statements as the final agreements have not yet been executed.
 
(10)         Acquisitions
 
Golden River Resources as part of its business strategy is increasing its gold and base metal exploration activity in Canada and is continually sourcing new ground in Canada which is one of the most prospective areas for new gold discoveries. On March 17, 2009, the Company announced that it had reached agreement with Acadian Mining Corporation (TSX: ADA) ("Acadian") to subscribe in a private placement transaction for up to 338,111,334 common shares ("Offering") in Acadian for aggregate gross investment of up to CDN$10 million. The Offering was contemplated to close in two or more tranches giving Golden River a 68.7% holding of Acadian.
 
The closing of the first tranche, for an aggregate of CDN$1.0 million (38,111,334 shares) was subject to receipt of the required regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange which occurred in early June 2009. Upon completion of closing of the initial tranche, the Company was entitled to nominate one member to the board of directors of Acadian and nominated Mr Menachem Vorchheimer. The Company held a 19.9% interest in Acadian at June 30, 2009.

The balance of the subscription by Golden River Resources into Acadian of CDN$9 million (300,000,000 shares at CDN$0.03 per share) was expected to be completed in one or more tranches upon the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, approval of the shareholders of Acadian and the satisfaction of certain other conditions precedent, including completion of due diligence by the Company. Acadian obtained approval from its shareholders at its annual meeting in June 2009.
 
 Throughout July 2009, Golden River Resources subscribed for further shares to a value of CDN$4 million and at July 31, 2009, the Company held a 52.764% interest in Acadian. As a result, Golden River Resources has since that time consolidated the results of Acadian. On September 30, 2009, a further closing for an aggregate of CDN$1 million occurred increasing the Company interest in Acadian to 57.145% and during October 2009, Golden River Resources completed its subscription in Acadian by subscribing for shares to the value of CDN$4 million which increased its interest in Acadian to 68.7%.
 
The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method required by ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. On the acquisition date of July 31, 2009, the fair value of the non-controlling interest was CDN$20,553,000. The fair value of non-controlling interest was based on an estimate of the fair value of Acadian’s net assets. The following table summarises the aggregate purchase price allocation and fair value of the non-controlling interest in Acadian as of July 31, 2009:

The aggregate value of (a) the purchase price paid for the acquisition of the Acadian shares, (b) the fair value of non-controlling interest in Acadian and (c) the fair value of our previously held equity interest in Acadian before the additional share acquisition was less than the fair value of the net assets acquired, which resulted in a bargain purchase gain, which has been recognised in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.
 
As a result of the Company attaining control over Acadian, the Company’s previously held 19.9% interest was remeasured to fair value.
 
The fair-value of the mineral rights acquired in the acquisition was prepared by an investment banking firm with substantial experience in merger and acquisition transactions including provision of fairness opinions and valuations.  Accordingly, the Company has attributed a fair value of CDN$43,790,000 to mineral rights and the inputs categorised as Level 3 inputs under the accounting guidance for fair value measurements.

The fair value of the non-controlling interest was based on the report and inputs categorised as Level 1 inputs under the accounting guidance for fair value measurement.
 
The fair value of the assets acquired includes receivable which are fair valued using the income approach and inputs categorised as Level 3 inputs under the accounting guidance for fair value measurements. The fair value of property, plant and equipment was based on the value assigned in the investment banker’s report; and for cash held for site remediation is as agreed with the relevant authorities in Canada.
 
The fair value of the liabilities includes accounts payable and accrued expenses, equipment loans payable, advance from equity accounted associate which were valued based on underlying terms and maturity dates; non-interest bearing liability was valued based on information available. The fair value of accrued site remediation is as agreed with the relevant authorities in Canada and from information provided.
 
The acquisition of Acadian was achieved in stages. The acquisition date fair value of the equity interest in Acadian immediately before the acquisition date was CDN$8,655,000 (US$8,259,000) and the amount of the gain recognized as a result of remeasuring to fair value the equity interest in Acadian before the business combination amounted to CDN$7,433,000 (US$7,093,000) and has been recognized in the consolidated statement of operations as “Adjustment to fair value on stepped acquisition”.
 
The gain on the identifiable net assets of Acadian caused a difference in the carrying value of the Company’s Acadian investment between financial reporting and income taxes and resulted in  a deferred tax liability (see note 15).
 
The transaction contemplated several closings and was subject to several pre-conditions including approval by TSX and due diligence. Between the time of entering into the agreement and the acquisition date, world economic conditions have improved, metal prices have increased significantly and world stock markets have rallied. This resulted in significantly higher fair values for the assets of Acadian compared to the values at the time the agreement was entered into. Furthermore, Acadian was in a distressed state at the time the agreement was entered into.
 
The amount of revenue of Acadian since the acquisition date included in the consolidated statement of operations for the reporting period is CDN$nil and the amount of loss from operations is CDN$2,889,052.
 
The consolidated statement of operations includes the operations since July 31, 2009, which is the acquisition date. The following unaudited pro-forma information presents the results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, as if the acquisition of Acadian had occurred on July 1, 2008.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, Acadian recorded impairment charge write off of CDN$19,791,000 based at that time on the review by management of the carrying value of mining assets and investments.
 
During July, 2009 Acadian recorded a gain on settlement of liabilities under Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act of CDN$3,104,170 and as at December 31, 2009 Acadian recorded a loss on disposal of leased assets of CDN$311,096.

(16)         Restatements of Prior Period Financial Information
 
The Company has restated its previously issued financial statements and accompanying footnotes as of and for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2009 to effect the changes to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed after the completion during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 of the accounting for the acquisition of Acadian (note 10). In addition, as discussed in note 17, the consolidated financial statements have been restated to give effect to a 1:10 stock split.

As a result of restatement of the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009, total assets decreased from CDN$96,456,000 to CDN$52,974,000. The decrease of total assets was mainly derived from a decrease in mineral rights by CDN$43,008,000. As at date of acquisition, management estimated the provisional fair value of the mineral rights using known information at the time. Subsequently, the Company retained an investment banking firm to provide a formal valuation which has been used in final fair value calculations.
 
The total liabilities have decreased from CDN$26,277,000 as originally reported to CDN$14,966,000. The decrease in total liabilities was derived mainly from a decrease of CDN$10,862,000 in deferred tax liability.
 
The total stockholders’ equity was restated from CDN$70,179,000 to CDN$38,008,000. The decrease of total stockholders’ equity was primarily derived from a decrease of CDN$11,847,000 in retained profit during exploration stage and a decrease in non-controlling interests of CDN$13,115,000.
 
The total liabilities and stockholders’ equity was restated from CDN$96,456,000 to CDN$52,974,000.

As a result of the restatement, there was no change in net cash provided in operating activities. The net CDN$nil change was mainly composed of a decrease in adjustment to fair value on stepped acquisition of CDN$8,665,000, a decrease in gain on bargain purchase price of CDN$14,321,000 and a decrease in a provision for income taxes of CDN $10,862,000

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
FUND COSTS CONVERSION
 
The consolidated statements of operations and other financial and operating data contained elsewhere here in and the consolidated balance sheets and financial results have been reflected in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.
 
The following table shows the average rate of exchange of the Canadian dollar as compared to the US dollar and Australian dollar during the periods indicated:
 
6 months ended December 31, 2008 CDN$1.00 = US$.8183
6 months ended December 31, 2009 CDN$1.00 = US$.9532
6 months ended December 31, 2008 CDN$1.00 = A$1.1855
6 months ended December 31, 2009 CDN$1.00 = A$1.0675
 
Prior to July 1, 2009, the Company’s functional and reporting currency was the Australian dollar and its subsidiary, Golden Bull Resources Corporation’s functional currency was the Canadian dollar. However, as a result of the purchase of the controlling interest in Acadian Mining Corporation in Canada in July 2009, the Company’s fiscal 2010 revenue and expenses will be primarily denominated in Canadian dollars (CDN$). ASC Topic 830 “Foreign Currency Matters” states that the functional currency of an entity is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Accordingly the Company determined that from July 1, 2009 the functional and reporting currency of the Company is the Canadian  dollar. Assets, liabilities and portions of equity were translated at the rate of exchange at July 1, 2009 and portions of equity were translated at historical exchange rates.  Revenue and expenses were translated at actual rates. Translation gains and losses were included as part of accumulated other comprehensive loss.
 
Restatement of comparative numbers was made for the change in functional and reporting currency. The change was adopted prospectively beginning July 1, 2009 in accordance with ASC Topic 830.
 
The Company’s financial statements are prepared in Canadian dollars (CDN$). A number of the costs and expenses of the Company are incurred in US and Australian dollars and the conversion of these costs to CDN$ means that the comparison of the six months ended December 31, 2009 to the six months ended December 31, 2008 does not always present a true comparison.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATION
 
Three Months Ended December 31, 2009 vs.Three Months Ended December 31, 2008.
 
Golden River Resources as part of its business strategy is increasing its gold and base metal exploration activity in Canada and is continually sourcing new ground in Canada which is one of the most prospective areas in for new gold discoveries. On March 17, 2009, the Company announced that it had reached agreement with Acadian Mining Corporation (TSX: ADA) ("Acadian") to subscribe in a private placement transaction for up to 338,111,334 common shares ("Offering") in Acadian for aggregate gross investment of up to CDN$10 million. The Offering was contemplated to close in two or more tranches.  Golden River holds 68.765% of Acadian.
 
The closing of the first tranche, for an aggregate of CDN$1.0 million (38,111,334 shares) was subject to receipt of the required regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange which occurred in early June 2009. Upon completion of closing of the initial tranche, the Company was entitled to nominate one member to the board of directors of Acadian and nominated Mr Menachem Vorchheimer. The Company held a 19.9% interest in Acadian at June 30, 2009.
 
The balance of the subscription by Golden River Resources into Acadian of CDN$9 million (300,000,000 shares at CDN$0.03 per share) was expected to be completed in one or more tranches upon the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, approval of the shareholders of Acadian and the satisfaction of certain other conditions precedent, including completion of due diligence by the Company. Acadian obtained approval from its shareholders at its annual meeting in June 2009.

 Throughout July 2009, Golden River Resources subscribed for further shares to a value of CDN$4 million and at July 31, 2009, the Company held a 52.764% interest in Acadian. As a result, Golden River Resources has since that time consolidated the results of Acadian. On September 30, 2009, a further closing for an aggregate of CDN$1 million occurred increasing the Company interest in Acadian to 57.145% and during October 2009, Golden River Resources completed its subscription in Acadian by subscribing for shares to the value of CDN$4 million which increased its interest in Acadian to 68.765%.
 
Costs and expenses increased from CDN$136,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2008 to CDN$1,326,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2009. As a result of the acquisition of Acadian, a comparison of costs and expenses from 2008 to 2009 is not necessarily accurate.
 
The increase in costs and expenses is a net result of:
 
a)  
an increase in legal, accounting and professional expense from CDN$22,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 to CDN$187,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009, primarily as a result of costs associated with the Company’s SEC and IRS compliance obligations. Included within legal, accounting and professional expense for the three months ended December 31, 2009 is CDN$71,000 which relates to the Company’s tax compliance work and CDN$35,000 for Acadian which relates to general legal work, audit and stock transfer costs.
 
b)  
an increase in administrative costs including salaries from CDN$44,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2008 to CDN$377,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2009. Included within administrative expense for the three months ended December 31, 2009 is CDN$277,000 for Acadian which includes head office salaries, rent, office related costs and travel.
 
c)  
an increase in the exploration expenditure expense from CDN$33,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 to CDN$584,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The costs related to consultants providing exploration reviews and advice. No field work was undertaken during the three months ended December 31, 2008 or 2009 by the Company on the Slave and Committee Bay properties. Included within exploration expenditure expense for the three months ended December 31, 2009 is work undertaken by Acadian for field exploration activities on its gold properties and certain maintenance work on its Scotia mine which is currently on care and maintenance and an increase in site remediation accrual for Acadian’s exploration and mining sites.
 
d)  
a decrease in stock based compensation from CDN$37,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 to CDN$6,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 as a result of the number of options being fully expensed prior to the current period. See Note 7 concerning the Company’s outstanding stock options.
 
e)  
an increase in depreciation and amortization expense from CDN$nil for the three months ended December 31, 2008 to CDN$132,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The amortization expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2009 relates to the activities of Acadian which is amortizing  the mine and mill (which is on care and maintenance), and equipment.
 
f)  
an increase in interest expense from CDN$nil for the three months ended December 31, 2008 to CDN$40,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The interest expense, net for the three months ended December 31, 2009 relates to the activities of Acadian which was paying interest on capital debt and the final cost of having the debtor in possession financing in place.
 
As a result of the foregoing, the loss from operations increased from CDN$136,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 to CDN$1,326,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009.
 
The Company recorded a foreign currency exchange gain of CDN$10,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to a foreign currency exchange loss of CDN$15,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008.
 
A decrease in interest income from CDN$5,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 to CDN$1,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009.

The loss before income taxes and equity in profits/(losses) of non-consolidated entities for the three months ended December 31, 2009 was CDN$1,315,000 compared CDN$146,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008.
 
The Company has recorded a increase of CDN$91,000 in the provision for tax for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to CDN$nil for the three months ended December 31, 2008.

The share of loss in non-consolidated entities for the three months ended December 31, 2009 amounted to CDN$70,000 for which there was no comparable amount in 2008. As noted above, the Company held a 19.89% interest in Acadian at June 30, 2009 which increased to 52.764% at July 31, 2009. The Company accounted for its 19.89% interest in Acadian for the month of July 2009 using the equity method of accounting. Further, the Company via Acadian, held a 29.18% interest in Royal Roads Corp which is also accounted for using the equity method of accounting and its share of the loss of the non-consolidated entities for the three months ended December 31, 2009 was CDN$70,000 (2008: $nil).
 
The net loss was CDN$1,294,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to CDN$146,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008.
 
The share of the loss attributable to the non-controlling interests of Acadian amounted to CDN$419,000, for which there was no comparable amount in 2008.

The net loss attributable to Golden River Resources stockholders amounted to CDN$875,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to CDN$146,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2008.

On March 17, 2009, the Company announced that it had reached agreement with Acadian Mining Corporation (TSX: ADA) ("Acadian") to subscribe in a private placement transaction for up to 338,111,334 common shares ("Offering") in Acadian for aggregate gross investment of up to CDN$10 million. The Offering was contemplated to close in two or more tranches.  Golden River holds 68.765% of Acadian.
 
The closing of the first tranche, for an aggregate of CDN$1.0 million (38,111,334 shares) was subject to receipt of the required regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange which occurred in early June 2009. Upon completion of closing of the initial tranche, the Company was entitled to nominate one member to the board of directors of Acadian and nominated Mr Menachem Vorchheimer. The Company held a 19.9% interest in Acadian at June 30, 2009.
 
The balance of the subscription by Golden River Resources into Acadian of CDN$9 million (300,000,000 shares at CDN$0.03 per share) was expected to be completed in one or more tranches upon the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, approval of the shareholders of Acadian and the satisfaction of certain other conditions precedent, including completion of due diligence by the Company. Acadian obtained approval from its shareholders at its annual meeting in June 2009.
 
 Throughout July 2009, Golden River Resources subscribed for further shares to a value of CDN$4 million and at July 31, 2009, the Company held a 52.764% interest in Acadian. As a result, Golden River Resources has since that time consolidated the results of Acadian. On September 30, 2009, a further closing for an aggregate of CDN$1 million occurred increasing the Company interest in Acadian to 57.145% and during October 2009, Golden River Resources completed its subscription in Acadian by subscribing for shares to the value of CDN$4 million which increased its interest in Acadian to 68.765%.
 
Costs and expenses increased from CDN$317,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2008 to CDN$2,574,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2009. As a result of the acquisition of Acadian, a comparison of costs and expenses from 2008 to 2009 is not necessarily accurate.

The increase in costs and expenses is a net result of:
 
a)  
an increase in legal, accounting and professional expense from CDN$59,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 to CDN$306,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2009, primarily as a result of costs associated with the Company’s SEC and IRS compliance obligations. Included within legal, accounting and professional expense for the six months ended December 31, 2009 is CDN$71,000 which relates to the Company’s tax compliance work and CDN$35,000 for Acadian which relates to general legal work, audit and stock transfer costs.
 
b)  
an increase in administrative costs including salaries from CDN$69,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2008 to CDN$586,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2009. Included within administrative expense for the six months ended December 31, 2009 is CDN$423,000 for Acadian which includes head office salaries, rent, office related costs and travel.
 
c)  
an increase in the exploration expenditure expense from CDN$72,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 to CDN$1,284,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2009. The costs related to consultants providing exploration reviews and advice. No field work was undertaken during the six months ended December 31, 2008 or 2009 by the Company on the Slave and Committee Bay properties. Included within exploration expenditure expense for the six months ended December 31, 2009 is work undertaken by Acadian for field exploration activities on its gold properties and certain maintenance work on its Scotia mine which is currently on care and maintenance and CDN$1,000,000 increase in provision for site remediation.
 
d)  
a decrease in stock based compensation from CDN$117,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 to CDN$39,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2009 as a result of options being fully expensed prior to the current period. See Note 7 concerning the Company’s outstanding stock options.
 
e)  
an increase in depreciation and amortization expense from CDN$nil for the six months ended December 31, 2008 to CDN$220,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2009. The amortization expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2009 relates to the activities of Acadian which is amortizing  the mine and mill (which is on care and maintenance), and equipment.
 
f)  
an increase in interest expense, net from CDN$nil for the six months ended December 31, 2008 to CDN$139,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2009. The interest expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2009 relates to the activities of Acadian which was paying interest on capital debt and the final cost of having the debtor in possession financing in place.
 
As a result of the foregoing, the loss from operations increased from CDN$317,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 to CDN$2,574,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2009.
 
The Company recorded a foreign currency exchange gain of CDN$5,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2009 compared to a foreign currency exchange loss of CDN$22,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008.
 
The Company also recorded a decrease in interest income from CDN$5,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 to CDN$1,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2009.
 
On March 17, 2009, the Company announced that it had reached agreement with Acadian to subscribe in a private placement transaction for up to 338,111,334 common shares ("Offering") in Acadian for aggregate gross investment of up to CDN$10 million. The closing of the first tranche, for an aggregate of CDN$1.0 million (38,111,334 shares) was subject to receipt of the required regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange which occurred in early June 2009. Throughout July 2009, further closings for an aggregate of CDN$4 million occurred and at July 31, 2009, the Company held a 52.764% interest in Acadian. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the Company calculated the difference between the fair market value and the carrying amount of the Company’s 19.9% interest in Acadian at the acquisition date of July 31, 2009 and recorded an adjustment to fair value on stepped acquisition of CDN$7,433,000, for which there was no comparable amount in 2008.
 
 
 
27

 
 
 
The Company has recorded a gain on bargain purchase of CDN$10,305,000 which is disclosed separately on the consolidated statement of operations. The gain represents the excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired over (i) fair value of the non controlling interest; (ii) fair value of the equity investment held prior to acquisition; and, (iii) the cash consideration paid. Subsequent to acquiring a majority interest in Acadian, the Company acquired an additional 16.001% interest for CDN$5 million which resulted in the Company’s ownership interest in Acadian being increased from 52.764% to 68.765%.. As a result of this additional investment, the Company recorded a credit to Additional Paid-In Capital of CDN$1,994,000. The Company entered into the a fixed price agreement with Acadian in early 2009 to subscribe CDN$10 million for a 68.7% interest in Acadian, at a time when the world stock markets were at a low point given the world economic crisis at that time. The transaction contemplated several closings and was subject to several pre-conditions including approval by TSX and due diligence. Between the time of entering into the agreement and the acquisition date, world economic conditions have improved, metal prices have increased significantly and world stock markets have rallied. This resulted in significantly higher fair values for the assets of Acadian compared to the values at the time the agreement was entered into. Furthermore, Acadian was in a distressed state at the time the agreement was entered into.
 
The profit before income tax and equity in profits/(losses) of non-consolidated entities for the six months ended December 31, 2009 was CDN$15,170,000 compared to a loss for the six months ended December 31, 2008 of CDN$334,000.
 
The Company has recorded a provision for tax of CDN$2,624,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2009 compared to a provision for tax of CDN$nil for the six months ended December 31, 2008, as a result of the acquisition of majority interest in Acadian.
 
The profit before equity in profits of non-consolidated entities for the six months ended December 31, 2009 was CDN$12,546,000 compared to a loss for the six months ended December 31, 2008 of CDN$334,000.
 
As noted above, the Company held a 19.89% interest in Acadian at June 30, 2009 which increased to 52.764% at July 31, 2009. The Company accounted for its 19.89% interest in Acadian for the month of July 2009 using the equity method of accounting. Further, the Company via Acadian, held a 29.18% interest in Royal Roads Corp which is also accounted for using the equity method of accounting and its share of the loss of the non-consolidated entities for the six months ended December 31, 2009 was CDN$326,000 (2008: $nil).
 
The net profit was CDN$12,872,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2009 compared to a net loss of CDN$334,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008.
 
The share of the loss attributable to the non-controlling interests of Acadian amounted to CDN$972,000, for which there was no comparable amount in 2008.
 
The net profit attributable to Golden River Resources stockholders amounted to CDN$13,844,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2009 compared to a net loss of CDN$334,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had short-term obligations of CDN$9,942,000 comprising accounts payable and accrued expenses, lease liabilities and advance from related parties/associates.
 
We have CDN$432,000 in cash at December 31, 2009.

The Company will be required to raise further cash to fund its exploration activities in 2010 and for working capital purposes. In addition, Acadian will be required to raise further cash to fund its exploration activities and for working capital purposes and this may be raised through equity or debt. This may require Golden River Resources to participate in an equity raising or providing debt financing to Acadian.
 
We are currently investigating capital raising opportunities which may be in the form of either equity or debt, to provide funding for working capital purposes and future exploration programs.  There can be no assurance that such a capital raising will be successful, or that even if an offer of financing is received by the Company, it is on terms acceptable to the Company.
 
Cautionary Safe Harbor Statement under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
 
Certain information contained in this Form 10-Q/A’s forward looking information within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995 (the “Act”).  In order to obtain the benefits of the “safe harbor” provisions of the act for any such forwarding looking statements, the Company wishes to caution investors and prospective investors about significant factors which among others have affected the Company’s actual results and are in the future likely to affect the Company’s actual results and cause them to differ materially from those expressed in any such forward looking statements.  This Form 10-Q/A report contains forward looking statements relating to future financial results.  Actual results may differ as a result of factors over which the Company has no control including, without limitation, the risks of exploration and development stage projects, political risks of development in foreign countries, risks associated with environmental and other regulatory matters, mining risks and competition and the volatility of gold and copper prices, movements in the foreign exchange rate and the availability of additional financing for the Company. Additional information which could affect the Company’s financial results is included in the Company’s Form 10-K on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Item 3.
 
At December 31, 2009, the Company had outstanding loan facilities of CDN$7,725,000 and a 100 basis points increase in interest rates would have a CDN$772,500 effect on the consolidated statement of  operations. At December 31, 2009, assuming no change in the cash at bank, a 10% change in the CDN$ versus US$ exchange rate would have a CDN$4,000 effect on the consolidated statement of operations.
 
Item 4.
 
(a)
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
 
Our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, such principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report at the reasonable level of assurance.
 
 (b)
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
 
(c)                   Other
 
We believe that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, can not provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.  Therefore, 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.  Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide such reasonable assurance of achieving our desired control objectives, and our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded, as of December 31, 2009, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in achieving that level of reasonable assurance.
