ITEM 1.
BUSINESS.
OVERVIEW
We were incorporated on October 3, 2005 under the laws of the State of Nevada as Kushi Resources, Inc. On January 5, 2010, we merged with TheraBiogen, Inc., also a Nevada corporation. We were the surviving entity in the merger and changed our name to TheraBiogen, Inc. All references in this Report to TheraBiogen mean TheraBiogen, Inc., formerly Kushi Resources Inc., unless otherwise indicated.
Until the merger with TheraBiogen, Inc. on January 5, 2010, we had been an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. After the merger we began to pursue the activities of the former TheraBiogen, Inc, the development and marketing of homeopathic nasal spray products, as our primary business. During the forth quarter of fiscal 2011 we determined that the value of our mineral rights was not sufficient to justify further pursuit of that business plan. On April 20, 2011 the Board of Directors of the Company approved the write-off of the mining interests and assets.
On June 18, 2009, Kelly T. Hickel was appointed to our board of directors. During August, 2009, a controlling interest in the Company was acquired as reported on the Form 14F-1 filed with the SEC on August 31, 2009. As part of that change in control, our former Chairman and sole officer, Greg Corcoran, resigned as an officer and director, leaving Mr. Hickel as the sole remaining director. Mr. Hickel also was appointed as our President, Secretary and Treasurer and sole officer. On November 17, 2009, we appointed three new directors to the Board: Dwight Brunhoeler, Barry Saxe and Boris Rubizhevsky, to serve with Mr. Hickel. Mr. Brunhoeler resigned in May 2010 for personal reasons.
On November 17, 2009, our Board of Directors approved the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger with TheraBiogen, Inc., which was approved unanimously by our shareholders, also on November 17, 2009. Under the terms of the merger, Kushi Resources, Inc. would be the surviving entity but would change its corporate name to TheraBiogen, Inc., and would issue one share of its post-forward split common stock for each of the 19,091,000 shares of common stock of TheraBiogen, Inc. then outstanding. Following approval by a majority of the shareholders of TheraBiogen, Inc. in December, 2009, the merger closed on January 5, 2010.
On January 4, 2010, we completed a 2.6 for 1 forward split of our common stock, as a result of which, our outstanding shares increased from 5,230,000 shares to 13,598,000 shares. We issued an additional 19,091,000 shares of our common stock to the former shareholders of the old TheraBiogen, Inc. in the merger. Following the merger, there were 32,689,000 common shares outstanding. As a result of our corporate name change to TheraBiogen, Inc. in the merger, our trading symbol on the NASDAQ OTC Bulletin Board also changed from KUSI to TRAB. For accounting purposes, the transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition.
The financial statements contained in this Annual Report are the consolidated results of operations and financial position of the consolidated entities as a result of the merger for all periods reported, except that the historical financial statements of TheraBiogen, Inc. have been restated to a fiscal year ended February 28, 2010 to conform with the fiscal year of Kushi Resources, Inc., the surviving entity in the merger. TheraBiogen, Inc. filed a Form 15 Notice of Termination of its former reporting status with the SEC on March 31, 2010, and we have assumed the former reporting obligations of the old TheraBiogen, Inc., as the survivor in the merger.
PLAN OF OPERATION
Nasal Products
During 2008, TheraBiogen, Inc. entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with a California company, Nasal Therapeutics, Inc., to develop, manufacture, market and sell four homeopathic nasal sprays, THERA MAX™ Cold Relief, THERA MAX™ Flu Relief, THERA MAX™ Allergy Relief and THERA MAX™ Migraine Relief, on an exclusive basis in North America and with a right of first refusal for all other product areas. The principal of Nasal Therapeutics, Inc., Dr. Charles Hensley had developed ZICAM Allergy and the nasal delivery systems used in the ZICAM product line extensions. Dr. Hensley founded Geltech, LLC. the company that launched ZICAM and made the product a household name. In 2001, Dr. Hensley and his partners sold their interest in Geltech to Matrixx Initiatives (MTXX).
ZICAM had been a leading cold remedy in the United States with sales exceeding $100,000,000 in 2006. However, in recent years, the use of zinc in the ZICAM product has come under fire. In 2003, reports began to surface that a small number of ZICAM users suffered a condition known as anosmia, or total loss of smell. These reports left questions in the minds of consumers, creating a significant market for a ZICAM-type product that does not contain zinc. In May, 2009, the Food & Drug Administration issued a nationwide recall of ZICAM nasal spray products containing zinc. No THERA MAX™ product contains zinc in any form.
Under the terms of the License Agreement, we issued 15,300,000 shares of its common stock to Nasal Therapeutics, Inc. on September 2, 2008 and paid Nasal Therapeutics, Inc. the sum of $150,000, as an initial license fee. There is also an annual license fee of $100, payable on September 1 of each subsequent year of the license, which has a 20 year term. The shares of common stock issued to Nasal Therapeutics, Inc. were valued at $0.144 per share, resulting in the cost of the license being $2,353,200, including the $150,000 cash payment and the value of the stock issued. This total license cost is being amortized over the twenty year life of the license. The issue of the shares to Nasal Therapeutics, Inc. resulted in a change of control of the Company.
In July, 2009, we entered into an Amended and Modified License Agreement with Nasal Therapeutics, Inc. to remove all territorial limits, to extend the terms to 25 years, and to obtain the transfer of the pending trademark application for the THERA MAX™ name. We paid a total of $75,000 for the extension and the trademark. As a result of this modification, we calculated the amortization of the license cost over the new term, as follows:
The adjusted cost is being amortized over the 25 year term of the modified license commencing August 1, 2009, in equal monthly installments of $7,734.
Business model
In September 2010, we began shipping two homeopathic nasal sprays into the United States over-the-counter market, THERA MAX™ Cold and Flu Relief and THERA MAX™ Allergy Relief. We identified and contracted with manufacturers for the products, and designed packaging materials. On June 26, 2009, we entered into a marketing, sales and distribution agreement with Elias Shaker Company for distribution of THERA MAX™ products. That agreement was terminated in November 2010. We received orders from and shipped product to Rite Aid Corporation in and since July 2010. Our two products have been sold in all Rite Aid locations since September 2010. We have an agreement in place with Rite Aid for their 2012 fiscal year for both products in amounts similar to their 2011 fiscal year volumes.
We have received and shipped orders to, in addition to Rite Aid and Walgreens Miami District South, Hannaford Supermarkets, Discount Drug Mart, Big Y Supermarkets and Food Lion. We have also entered into a Sponsorship Agreement with the Miami Heat and Walgreens Miami South District and shipped product to approximately 300 Walgreens stores in that District. That product has been on sale in these locations since late February 2011. THERA MAX™ has received visibility on both local and national television as a result of signage placement in the arena at the HEAT games. We are negotiating similar Sponsorship Agreements with additional sports teams and retailers in other regions of the country.
We are in the final stages of approval of THERA MAX™ Cold Relief by several additional major retailers for introduction into their retail stores for the 2012 season which begins in September 2011. We have received vendor approval for one of them and a vendor number which enables us to negotiate agreements in two others pending final approval
Homeopathic nasal sprays
THERA MAX™ Cold and Flu Relief
THERA MAX™ Cold Relief homeopathic nasal spray is, we believe, the next generation cold remedy product, without any actual or potential hazards from zinc ZICAM, which was developed by Dr. Hensley in the late 1990s and includes zinc in the formulation had been a highly successful product with sales exceeding US$100,000,000 in 2006. See above for a more complete explanation, but the ZICAM nasal cold remedy was ordered by the FDA to be removed from the shelves in July 2009.
Common colds are caused primarily by rhinoviruses and coronaviruses. Rhinoviruses infect nasal cells by attaching to ICAM (Inter-cellular Adhesion Molecule receptor sites on the nasal membrane. The Company believes that THERA MAX™ Cold Relief is superior to other homeopathic cold remedies on a variety of levels. Similar to other remedies, the active ingredients of THERA MAX™ Cold Relief also binds to the rhinovirus attachment site inhibiting rhinovirus attachment to ICAM receptors. However, unlike other remedies, THERA MAX™ Cold Relief ingredients also inhibits the ability of rhinovirus to increase the amount of ICAM receptors on the nasal membrane. Furthermore, the active ingredients in THERA MAX™ Cold Relief also inhibits the entry of coronaviruses making it effective for coronavirus common colds as well. The fact that the actives in THERA MAX™ Cold Relief decreases ICAM levels and inhibits both rhinovirus and coronavirus should result in a more complete suppression of common cold infections than what is seen with other homeopathic products. Human studies on THERA MAX™ Cold Relief are still a few months from being initiated. However, we expect THERA MAX™ Cold Relief to be much more effective than other homeopathic products at reducing the duration of the common cold. Patents protecting the THERA MAX™ Cold Relief intellectual property have been filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
THERA MAX™ Flu Relief
THERA MAX™ Flu Relief homeopathic nasal spray is the influenza equivalent to ZICAM cold remedy. The active ingredient in THERA MAX™ Flu Relief inhibits influenza virus infections by blocking influenza virus entry into cells. Furthermore, the active ingredient of THERA MAX™ Flu Relief inhibits influenza viral uncoating and replication. Based on the in vitro data and preliminary clinical results, we expect the THERA MAX™ Flu Relief to be extremely effective at treating influenza in humans. Patent applications seeking to protect the THERA MAX™ Cold and Flu Relief intellectual property have been filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office by the Licensor.
We are marketing the Cold and Flu Relief in one formulation which distinguishes our product from any other product currently on the market.
THERA MAX™ Allergy Relief
The nasal manifestation of allergies is mediated by receptors present on the surface of the nasal membrane. Antigens such as pollen, dust, animal proteins etc. increase the expression and subsequent presentation of receptors on the nasal membranes and provide the attachment site for inflammatory mediators of the allergic response. The intracellular mediator of the antigen induced increase in expression and the rhinovirus induced expression is the same. Therefore, active ingredients in THERA MAX™ cold that inhibit the expression form the core of the THERA MAX™ Allergy Relief formulation. By inhibiting the antigen induced expression on the nasal membrane, it is predicted that THERA MAX™ Allergy Relief will be extremely effective at treating and preventing nasal allergies. We expect to launch the allergy relief during the second half of this year.
Additional formulations and delivery mechanisms are under development by the Company. For instance, in February 2011 the Company licensed an oral delivery mechanism which we intend to use to develop product line extensions for the current products. In addition, our scientific advisory board is reviewing additional possible formulations.
Manufacturing and Distribution
Our products are manufactured and packaged by a third-party manufacturer. The manufacturer is registered with the FDA, which requires it to adhere to current Good Manufacturing Practices in its production processes and procedures. The manufacturer is responsible for sourcing raw materials used in its production of our products from third-party suppliers. We rely on individual production orders to meet our needs from these suppliers.
Our manufacturer is subject to reporting, facility inspection, and governmental review. In general, subsequent discovery of previously unrecognized problems or failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could result in restrictions on manufacturing or marketing of the products, product recalls or withdrawal, fines, seizure of product, as well as withdrawal or suspension of regulatory approvals.
Our manufacturer is responsible for production processes, including compounding and producing product mixtures, filling bottles, assembling finished product and packing finished product in master cases. Finished products are shipped to an independent warehouse for storage prior to shipment to our customers.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
None.
COMPETITION
All of the THERA MAX™ products compete in the highly competitive over-the-counter cold, allergy/sinus, and symptom relief market groups of the overall cough and cold category. Our products compete against a vast number of well-established brands marketed by large pharmaceutical and consumer products companies as well as an increasing number of store brand products. Store brand products are generally sold at a substantial discount to branded products. Participants in the cough and cold category compete primarily on the basis of price, product benefit, quality of product, and brand recognition. Most of our competitors have substantially greater financial, marketing and other resources, longer operating histories, larger product portfolios and greater brand recognition than we do. With our limited resources, we aim to succeed in this category by emphasizing the unique claims regarding our products and providing consumers with innovative delivery systems.
REGULATORY MATTERS
We are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations that affect our business. All of our products are subject to regulation by the FDA, including regulations with respect to manufacturing processes and procedures, ingredients in the products, labeling and claims made. Our drug products are commercially distributed by following the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia or FDA’s OTC monographs. The OTC monographs classify certain drug ingredients as safe and effective for specified uses and establish categorical requirements for the marketing of drugs containing such ingredients without pre-approval. All of our THERA MAX Cold & Flu and THERA MAX Allergy Relief products are subject to the requirements of the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States. All of our claims and advertising are subject to the rules of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Although we believe that our products and claims comply in all material respects with the regulatory requirements, if the FDA or FTC were to determine that we are in violation of any such requirement, either agency could restrict our ability to market the products, require us to change the claims that we make or cause us to remove the products from the market.
EMPLOYEES
As of February 28, 2011, we engaged five full or part time advisors under written or informal consulting agreements.

ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS.
The following are some of the important factors that could affect our financial performance or could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates contained in our forward-looking statements. We may encounter risks in addition to those described below. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, may also impair or adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operation.
IF WE DO NOT OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING, OUR BUSINESS COULD FAIL.
Our current operating funds are not sufficient to meet the anticipated costs of our marketing and production programs,. Three of our exploration program or if we decide to begin mining efforts in the event that it is determined that our property contains mineral reserves, we will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan. Our plan of operation calls for significant expenses in connection with the marketing of our Thera Max™ products. We currently do not have adequate arrangements for financing and we may not be able to obtain financing when required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors outside of our control, including the results from our marketing programs including additional costs and expenses that may exceed our current estimates. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us in which case our business could fail.
WE HAVE YET TO EARN SIGNIFICANT REVENUE AND BECAUSE OUR ABILITY TO SUSTAIN OUR OPERATIONS IS DEPENDENT ON OUR ABILITY TO RAISE FINANCING, THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.
Because we have only recently commenced business operations, we expect to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future. We have never earned significant revenues and we have never been profitable.. This could cause our business to fail.
Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional customers and financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of retail distribution and sales. These factors raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern. Our independent auditors, Moss, Krusik & Associates, LLC, have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern given our accumulated losses. This opinion could materially limit our ability to raise additional funds by issuing new debt or equity securities or otherwise. If we fail to raise sufficient capital, we will not be able to complete our business plan.
BECAUSE OUR SOLE EXECUTIVE OFFICER DOES NOT HAVE FORMAL TRAINING SPECIFIC TO THE TECHNICALITIES OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY, THERE IS A HIGHER RISK THAT OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL.
Kelly Hickel, our sole executive officer and a director, does not have any formal training as a scientist or in the technical aspects of management of a pharmaceutical company. With no direct training or experience in these areas, our management may not be fully aware of the specific requirements related to working within this industry. Our management's decisions and choices may not take into account standard managerial approaches pharmaceutical companies commonly use. Consequently, our operations, earnings, and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm due to management's lack of experience in this industry.
WE FACE SIGNIFICANT COMPETITION IN THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY.
We compete with other pharmaceutical companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities than us in connection with the development and marketing of pharmaceutical products and in connection with the recruitment and retention of qualified personnel.
THE COMPANY HAS LIMITED RESOURCES AND NO SIGNIFICANT REVENUES
The Company has limited resources and has had limited revenues to date. In addition, the Company will not achieve any significant revenues until, at the earliest, the expanded distribution of the THERA MAX™ Cold and Flu Relief. Moreover, there can be no assurance that the Company's additional distribution of any THERA MAX™ products will provide any material revenues or operate on a profitable basis.
THE COMPANY MAY NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING IN ORDER TO EXECUTE ITS BUSINESS
PLAN
The Company has had minimal revenues to date and will be dependent upon its limited available financial resources. The Company cannot ascertain with any degree of certainty the capital requirements for the execution of its business plan. In the event that the Company's limited financial resources prove to be insufficient to implement the Company's business plan, the Company may be required to seek additional financing.
ADDITIONAL FINANCING MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE TO THE COMPANY IF NEEDED
There can be no assurance that additional financing, if needed, will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that additional financing proves to be unavailable when needed, the Company would, in all likelihood, be compelled to abandon plans to market the THERA MAX™ products. The failure by the Company to secure additional financing, if needed, could also have a material adverse effect on the continued development or growth of its business model. The Company is negotiating arrangements with bank or financial institution to secure additional financing and there can be no assurance that any such arrangement, will be available on terms deemed to be commercially acceptable and in the best interests of the Company.
THE COMPANY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO BORROW FUNDS IF NEEDED
There currently are no limitations on the Company's ability to borrow funds to increase the amount of capital available to the Company to undertake its business plan. Moreover, the limited resources of the Company and lack of operating history may make it difficult to borrow funds. The amount and nature of any borrowings by the Company will depend on numerous considerations, including the Company's capital requirements, the Company's perceived ability to meet debt service on any such borrowings and the then prevailing conditions in the financial markets, as well as general economic conditions. There can be no assurance that debt financing, if required or sought, would be available on terms deemed to be commercially acceptable by and in the best interests of the Company. The inability of the Company to borrow funds required to undertake its business model, may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and future prospects. Additionally, to the extent that debt financing ultimately proves to be available, any borrowings may subject the Company to various risks traditionally associated with indebtedness, including the risks of interest rate fluctuations and insufficiency of cash flow to pay principal and interest.
SUCCESS OF THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS PLAN DEPENDS IN LARGE PART UPON THE SUCCESS OF ITS PRODUCTS, WHICH WERE ONLY RECENTLY INTRODUCED TO CONSUMERS
The success of the Company's proposed plan of operation will depend to a great extent on the acceptance of its homeopathic products by the public. To date, only limited market studies or projections of the acceptance of these products have been conducted.
General Risk Factors
THE COMPANY DEPENDS UPON ITS EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
The ability of the Company to successfully carry out its business model will be dependent upon the efforts of its executive officers and directors, as well as its ability to attract additional directors and executive officers. The Company has not entered into employment agreements with any officer or director concerning compensation.
THERE EXIST RISKS TO STOCKHOLDERS RELATING TO DILUTION: AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL SECURITIES AND REDUCTION OF PERCENTAGE SHARE OWNERSHIP FOLLOWING THE ISSUE OF ADDITIONAL COMMON SHARES
To the extent that additional shares of common stock are issued, the Company's stockholders would experience dilution of their respective ownership interests in the Company. Furthermore, the issuance of a substantial number of shares of common stock may adversely affect prevailing market prices, if any, for the common stock and could impair the Company's ability to raise additional capital through the sale of its equity securities. The Company may use consultants and other third parties providing goods and services, including assistance in the manufacture, marketing, distribution and sale of products. These consultants or third parties may be paid in cash, stock, options or other securities of the Company, and the consultants or third parties may be placement agents or their affiliates.
THE COMPANY EXPECTS TO PAY NO CASH DIVIDENDS
The Company does not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, and the payment of dividends will be contingent upon the Company's revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements, and general financial condition subsequent to the commencement of its business activities and the generation of profits from those activities. The payment of any dividends subsequent to an investment will be within the discretion of the Company's then Board of Directors. The Company presently intends to retain all earnings, if any, for use in the Company's business operations and accordingly, the Board does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future.
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN QUALIFIED PERSONNEL NECESSARY FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY.
Our future success depends largely upon the continued service of our sole officer. Our future success also depends on our ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel when needed. Key personnel represent a significant asset, and the competition for qualified personnel is intense in the mineral exploration industry.
WE MAY CONDUCT FURTHER OFFERINGS IN THE FUTURE IN WHICH CASE YOUR SHAREHOLDINGS WILL BE DILUTED.
Since our inception, we have relied on such equity sales of our common stock to fund our operations. We may conduct further equity offerings in the future to finance our current projects or to finance subsequent projects that we decide to undertake. If common stock is issued in return for additional funds, the price per share could be lower than that paid by our current stockholders. We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock in order to fund our business operations. If we issue additional stock, stockholders percentage interest in us will be diluted. The result of this could reduce the value of investors' stock.
BECAUSE OUR STOCK IS A PENNY STOCK, SHAREHOLDERS WILL BE MORE LIMITED IN THEIR ABILITY TO SELL THEIR STOCK.
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or quotation system.
Because our securities constitute “penny stocks” within the meaning of the rules, the rules apply to us and to our securities. The rules may further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell our securities in any market that might develop for them. As long as the trading price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share, the common stock will be subject to rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that:
1.
contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
2.
contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of securities laws;
3.
contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;
4.
contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
5.
defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and
6.
contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with: (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitably statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The financial summaries that follow present the consolidated results of operations of TheraBiogen, Inc. for the periods presented, as a result of the merger between the former TheraBiogen, Inc. and Kushi Resources, Inc. effective January 5, 2010. The consolidated results of operations for TheraBiogen, Inc. reflect the former Kushi Resources, Inc. fiscal year end of the last day of February, which differed from that of the former TheraBiogen, Inc. year end of December 31, 2009. Accordingly, the amounts shown from the audited consolidated financials reflect the financial position and results of operations as of and for the years ended February 28, 2011 and 2010.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenue
We began shipping products for revenue in September 2010. From inception through August 2010 we generated no revenue. Revenue comes from sales of our products to retailers. We use sales agents to assist us in selling. Our target customers are regional and national retail drug, grocery and general retail chains.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Our operating expenses for the years ended February 28, 2011 and 2010 consisted of the following:
Our operating expenses increased by $3,279,792 or 371% from $883,628 for the year ended February 28, 2010 to $4,163,420 for the year ended February 28, 2011. $488,618 of this increase is Cost of goods sold for initial product sales during the fiscal year. An additional $2,178,751 of expenses in fiscal 2011 are non-cash grants of stock and options to directors and consultants for services rendered and as incentive payments. The remaining increase in operating expenses was primarily due to increases in our administrative and consulting fees as we begin shipping product to customers and increasing our sales and marketing activities.
Over the next twelve months, we anticipate generating significant revenue from the THERA MAX™ product line, but will require additional sources of capital to do so.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As at February 28, 2011, we had cash of $0 and negative cash flow from operations of $(1,466,127). To date, we have funded our operations with cash that we received from the sale of our common stock, advances from related parties as loans, and advances against manufacturing costs from a financing company.
We had a working capital deficit of $1,129,891 as of February 28, 2011 compared to a working capital deficit of $413,654 as of February 28, 2010. The increase in our working capital deficit is attributable to the completion of the merger and the resulting acquisition of operating assets and the increase in short term debt to finance operations.
Our current cash and operating cash flows are not sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the next twelve months. We currently need to raise additional funds through public or private financings or borrowings to fund our operations. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available or that, if available, such financings can be obtained on terms favorable to our stockholders or us.
ITEM 7A.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates, and equity price risk and the normal risks associated with a start-up business. We may hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts. During the twelve months ended February 28, 2011, we did not engage in any hedging activities.
Since the Company to date has had no significant operations, the information and disclosures required by Item 305 of Regulation S-K are omitted as not material.

ITEM 9.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
On June 30, 2010, our former audit firm, Berman Hopkins Wright & LaHam CPAs and Associates, LLP (“Berman Hopkins”) notified us that the audit partners on our account were no longer affiliated with the firm and that, as a result, Berman Hopkins had decided to resign as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
The reports of Berman Hopkins on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended February 28, 2010 and 2009, contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle, except that the reports for both years expressed a concern regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During the recent fiscal years ending February 28, 2010 and 2009 and the subsequent period through June 30, 2010, there have been no (i) disagreements with Berman Hopkins on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Berman’s satisfaction, would have caused Berman Hopkins to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its reports; or (ii) “reportable events” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company has provided Berman Hopkins with a copy of the above disclosures and requested that Berman Hopkins furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statement. A copy of Berman’s letter, dated October 4, 2010 was filed as Exhibit 16.1 to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 6, 2010.
On October 6, 2010, effective July 1, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company engaged Moss, Krusick & Associates, LLC of Winter Park (Orlando), Florida (“Moss, Krusick”) as the Company’s new independent public accounting firm. Moss, Krusick was formed as a result of the split off of a substantial portion the securities practice of Berman Hopkins Wright & LaHam, CPAs and Associates, LLP (“Berman Hopkins”) into Moss, Krusick. This was a result of the decision by Berman Hopkins, our former auditors to resign as our independent auditors to substantially reduce their securities audit practice. The principals of Moss, Krusick are the same auditors who were engaged on the audit of the Company while at Berman Hopkins. Moss, Krusick has registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (”PCAOB”), and was advised of the acceptance of their application on August 12, 2010.
During the recent fiscal years ending February, 2010 and 2009, and the subsequent interim period prior to the engagement of Moss, Krusick, the Company had not either consulted Moss, Krusick regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to any specified transaction, either completed or proposed, (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, or (iii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v)) or a reportable event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v)).
During the fiscal year ending February 28, 2011 and the subsequent period through June 15, 2011, there have been no (i) disagreements with Moss, Krusick on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Moss, Krusick’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its reports; or (ii) “reportable events” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2010. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Management’s review and evaluation of the company’s internal controls over financial reporting did not involve a recognized framework for financial controls and was limited to the identification of risks associated with the limited number of personnel employed by the company and the direct involvement of the CEO and CFO in most business functions. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2011, our management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, also carried out an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective in enabling the Company to record, process, summarize and report, in a timely manner, the information that the Company is required to disclose in its Exchange Act reports. Control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, are described below.
Material Weaknesses
Lack of Effective Corporate Governance Policies and Procedures. We do not have effective policies regarding the independence of our directors and do not have independent directors. The lack of independent directors means that there is no effective review, authorization, or oversight of management or management’s actions by persons that were not involved in approving or executing those actions. This has resulted in inconsistent practices. Further, the Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-B. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.
We have no conflicts of interest policies and there is no provision for the review and approval of transactions between the Company and interested members of management.
Lack of Effective Policies Regarding the General Accounting System. We do not have any documented processes for the input, accumulation, or testing of financial data that would provide assurance that all transactions are accurately and timely recorded or that the financial reports will be prepared on a periodic basis.
Lack of Effective Control over Financial Statement Disclosure. We do not maintain effective controls over financial statement disclosure. Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
Because of these material weaknesses, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2011, based on the criteria established in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework" issued by the COSO.
Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has determined that the Company does not have the financial resources or personnel to address the material weaknesses identified or to conduct a more robust evaluation of its controls. As resources become available, management will develop and implement remedial actions to address the material weaknesses it has identified.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended February 28, 2011, that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management or board override of the control.
The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Item 8. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 1. Financial Statements.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of TheraBiogen, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of TheraBiogen, Inc., as of February 28, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TheraBiogen, Inc. as of February 28, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has had minimal operations to date, has an accumulated deficit, and has negative working capital. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FEBRUARY 28, 2011 and 2010
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Nature of Operations
TheraBiogen, Inc. (formerly Kushi Resources, Inc. (“Kushi”)) (the “Company”) was incorporated on October 3, 2005, under the laws of the State of Nevada.
In November, 2009, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with TheraBiogen, Inc. (“Former TheraBiogen”), a Nevada corporation, which was incorporated in April 2000. The merger closed on January 5, 2010, and, as a result of, the transaction the Company changed its name to TheraBiogen, Inc.
In July 2008, Former TheraBiogen entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Therapeutics, Inc., to develop, manufacture, market and sell four homeopathic nasal sprays, THERA MAX® Cold Relief, THERA MAX® Flu Relief, THERA MAX® Allergy Relief and THERA MAX® Migraine Relief, on an exclusive basis in North America and, and as a result of a subsequent transaction, in July 2009, the Company has the rights for all other areas of the world. The principal of Nasal Therapeutics, Inc., Dr. Charles Hensley had also developed the ZICAM homeopathic nasal product.
The Company’s principal business activity prior to the merger was the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources in northern British Columbia, Canada. The Company has not determined whether its properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.
Basis of Presentation and Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate the continuation of the Company as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not as yet attained a level of operations which allows it to meet its current overhead and may not attain profitable operations within its first few business operating cycles, nor is there any assurance that such an operating level can ever be achieved. The Company is dependent upon obtaining additional financing adequate to fund its operations. While the Company has funded its initial operations with private placements and secured loans principally from related parties, there can be no assurance that adequate financing will continue to be available to the Company and, if available, on terms that are favorable to the Company. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is also dependent on many events outside of its direct control, including, among other things improvement in the economic climate. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
As described in Notes 1 and 3, effective January 5, 2010, Former TheraBiogen merged into Kushi and Kushi changed its corporate name to TheraBiogen, Inc. For accounting purposes, this transaction was treated as an acquisition of Kushi and a recapitalization of Former TheraBiogen. The Former TheraBiogen is the accounting acquirer and the results of its operations carryover.
For the periods from the Company’s inception (April 26, 2000) through August 31, 2010, the Company accounted for its operations as a development stage company in accordance with FASB Codification 915-205-20. During the quarter ended November 30, 2010, the Company initiated significant revenue producing activities and, as a result, determined that it was no longer a development stage company.
Exploration Stage
For the periods from the Company’s inception (April 26, 2000) through August 31, 2010, the Company accounted for its operations as a development stage company in accordance with FASB Codification 915-205-20. During the quarter ended November 30, 2010, the Company initiated significant revenue producing activities and, as a result, determined that it was no longer a development stage company.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer. Transfer of risks and rewards is considered to have occurred upon shipment of the finished product to retailers. Sales incentives, promotional allowances and returns are estimated and recognized as a reduction from revenue at the date of shipment based upon current agreements with customers and as the Company develops more revenues historical activity will also be utilized. The Company evaluates these estimates on a quarterly basis and revises them as necessary.
The allowance for sales incentives, promotional allowances and returns will reflect our historical experience and will be reviewed regularly to ensure that it reflects potential chargebacks from customers. The allowance as of February 28, 2011 is based upon our experience through April 30, 2011 since we have recently begun our initial placements at retailers. We review the need for a return provision at least quarterly and adjust the reserve amounts if actual chargebacks differ materially from our reserve percentage once established.
Inventory
Inventory consists principally of deposits to the contract manufacturer of the THERA MAX® products and bottles and spray tops purchased from a third party supplier and delivered to the Company’s contract manufacturer to be used in the final packaging of the products for distribution. Inventory is carried at the lower of cost or market on a first in, first out basis.
License Agreement
The Company recorded as an intangible asset the cost of the license agreement entered into with Nasal Therapeutics, Inc. based on the consideration paid. The intangible asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over the 25 year life of the agreement. The amortization charge is included in cost of sales, and, as a result of the initiation of sales during the third quarter of 2010 prior period amortization expense has been reclassified to cost of sales for the applicable periods. The Company evaluates for impairment when events and circumstances warrant in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350-30, and an impairment loss will be recognized if the carrying amount of an intangible asset is not recoverable and its carrying amount exceeds its fair value. After an impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount of the intangible asset will be its new accounting basis.
Goodwill
The Company recorded goodwill as the excess of the consideration paid over the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. The goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to an annual impairment test in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350-20. The two step test first determines whether the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. If so, the next step is to measure the impairment loss as the difference between the implied fair value of the good will and the carrying amount of the reporting unit.
Mineral Property Costs
Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized when incurred. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under ASC Topic 350-30 Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets at each fiscal quarter end. Impairment is recognized when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the mineral property. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the mineral property over its estimated fair value.
When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, will be capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserves. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheets of all financial instruments approximates their fair values because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments or comparable interest rates of similar instruments. The Company follows newly issued accounting guidance relating to fair value measurements. This guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:
Level 1 -- quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2 -- inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.
Level 3 -- unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the unobservable inputs.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits in bank accounts fully insured by the FDIC. As part of its cash management process, the Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of this financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses in cash balances and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash.
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of these unaudited financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these unaudited financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share (“EPS”)
Basic net (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net (loss) attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted net income per common share includes the potential dilution that could occur upon exercise of the options and warrants to acquire common stock computed using the treasury stock method which assumes that the increase in the number of shares is reduced by the number of shares which could have been repurchased by the Company with the proceeds from the exercise of the options and warrants (which were assumed to have been made at the average market price of the common shares during the reporting period).
At February 28, 2011 and February 28, 2010, the Company had 35,974,520 and 32,927,000 weighted average common shares and 4,493,000 and 1,644,000 options and warrants outstanding.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is recorded and deducted from deferred tax assets when the deferred tax assets are not expected to be realized based on currently available evidence. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Stock-Based Compensation
Compensation costs attributable to stock options, restricted stock or similar equity instruments granted are measured at the fair value at the grant date, and expensed over the expected vesting period.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the balance sheet and statement of cash flows, the Company considers all amounts on deposit with financial institutions and highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance with ASC 830 Foreign Currency Matters, using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. During the year ended February 28, 2011, the Company incurred no foreign currency losses. The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive Income (loss) reflects changes in equity that results from transactions and economic events from non-owner sources. At February 28, 2011 and February 28, 2010, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive income (loss) and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive income (loss) in these unaudited financial statements.
Asset Retirement Obligations
Topic ASC 410 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. Specifically, ASC 410 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. In addition, the asset retirement cost is capitalized as part of the asset’s carrying value and subsequently allocated to expense over the asset’s useful life. At February 28, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not have any asset retirement obligations.
Financial Instruments
Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company may be subject to foreign exchange risk for transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign currency risk arises from the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates relative to the United States dollar. The Company does not believe that it has any material risk due to foreign currency exchange.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts payable, accrued administrative fees and accrued professional fees. The fair value of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to their short maturities.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. At February 28, 2011 and February 28, 2010, any cash held by the Company was held in fully insured accounts in institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. As part of its cash management process, the Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of its financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses in cash balances and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash.
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of these unaudited financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these unaudited financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company’s financial statements are based on a number of estimates, including an accrual for estimated administrative fees.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance on multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements which requires an entity to allocate consideration at the inception of an arrangement to all of its deliverables based on their relative selling prices. This guidance eliminates the use of the residual method of allocation and requires allocation using the relative-selling-price method in all circumstances in which an entity recognizes revenue for an arrangement with multiple deliverables. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. We will adopt the guidance on March 1, 2011 and apply it prospectively. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
In December 2010, the FASB issued guidance on disclosure of supplementary pro forma information for business combinations which amends and requires additional pro forma disclosure requirements for material business combinations on an individual or aggregate basis including pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity as if the acquisition date(s) had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. This guidance also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosure requirements to include a description of the nature and amount of any material non-recurring adjustments that are directly attributable to the business combination. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted this guidance on March 1, 2011 and will apply it prospectively.

The payment of the accounts payable was treated as a contribution to capital when completed during the year ended February 28, 2010, and the forgiveness of debt in the total amount of $45,320 has been treated as debt forgiveness income in the accompanying financial statements.
NOTE 5 - NOTES PAYABLE
The Company has entered into notes payable agreements with a related party totaling $686,000 as of February 28, 2011 with interest due under the notes aggregating $148,000.

NOTE 7 - MINERAL RIGHTS
On January 30, 2006, the Company staked a mineral claim near Atlin, British Columbia, Canada, comprising an area of 410.65 hectares. The Company is required to incur approximately $2,600 (CDN$2,997) on or before January 30, 2010 and each year thereafter in exploration expenditures or pay the equivalent sum in cash in lieu of work, in order to retain title to the claims. In January 2008, the Company paid $1,635 (CDN$1,643) in cash to the Province of British Columbia, in lieu of work, to retain title to the claims until January 30, 2009 and on January 5, 2009, the Company registered $12,000 CDN in exploration work performed on its unproved mineral properties with the Government of British Columbia, which extend the Company’s title to the claims until January 30, 2012. In February 2011 the Company determined that the cost of maintaining the claim was not justified given the potential value of the claim and the change in the primary business of the Company. Consequently the Company charged the $7,349 of mineral rights to general and administrative expense and no longer maintains any claim to the mineral rights.
NOTE 8 - DEFERRED TAX ASSETS
At February 28, 2011, the Company had net operating loss (NOL) carry-forwards available to offset future taxable income of approximately $1.8 million including approximately $104,000 from Kushi Resources, Inc. at date of the merger. The utilization of the NOL carry-forwards is dependent upon the tax laws in effect at the time the NOL carry-forwards can be utilized. It is also likely that utilization of the NOL carry-forwards are limited based on changes in control from the merger. A valuation allowance of $1.4 million ($474,00 in 2010) has been recorded against the deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty surrounding its realization caused by the Company’s recurring losses. The NOL carry-forwards will expire from 2020 through 2030.
NOTE 9 - WARRANTS AND OPTIONS
On September 1, 2008, the Company issued 400,000 warrants expiring on September 1, 2011, exercisable at $0.01.

Under these arrangements, 999,000 warrants expiring three years from issuance were issued and were exercisable at $1.25.
Effective January 6, 2010, the Company granted various individuals and consultants 825,000 options to acquire additional shares for a three year period at the closing market price on the date of the merger, which the Company has estimated as $0.20 per share. The Company estimated the fair value at the grant date based on the Black Scholes option pricing model, using 6% as the risk free rate and 291% as the expected volatility. Accordingly, the Company recognized $165,000 of consulting expense in the statements of operations and $165,000 of additional paid in capital in the balance sheets in connection with this issuance. On July 20, 2010 the Company granted various directors, individuals and consultants options for a five year period to acquire 1,500,000 shares of common stock at the then fair market value of $0.50 per share.
