BUSINESS This annual report contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "should", "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "predicts", "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled "Risk Factors" that may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results. Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. In this annual report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars and all references to "common shares" refer to the common shares in our capital stock. As used in this current report and unless otherwise indicated, the terms "we", "us" and "our" mean Lithium Corporation, and our wholly owned subsidiary, Nevada Lithium Corporation, unless otherwise indicated. GENERAL OVERVIEW We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 30, 2007 under the name "Utalk Communications Inc." At inception, we were a development stage corporation engaged in the business of developing and marketing a call-back service using a call-back platform. Because we were not successful in implementing our business plan, we considered various alternatives to ensure the viability and solvency of our company. On August 31, 2009, we entered into a letter of intent with Nevada Lithium Corporation regarding a business combination which may be effected in one of several different ways, including an asset acquisition, merger of our company and Nevada Lithium Corporation, or a share exchange whereby we would purchase the shares of Nevada Lithium Corporation from its shareholders in exchange for restricted shares of our common stock. Effective September 30, 2009, we effected a one (1) old for 60 new forward stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, our authorized capital increased from 50,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 to 3,000,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 and our issued and outstanding shares increased from 4,470,000 shares of common stock to 268,200,000 shares of common stock. Also effective September 30, 2009, we have changed our name from "Utalk Communications, Inc." to "Lithium Corporation", by way of a merger with our wholly owned subsidiary Lithium Corporation, which was formed solely for the change of name. The name change and forward stock split becomes effective with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the opening for trading on October 1, 2009 under the new stock symbol "LTUM". Our new CUSIP number is 536804 107. On October 9, 2009, we entered into a share exchange agreement with Nevada Lithium Corporation, a Nevada corporation, and the shareholders of Nevada Lithium Corporation. The closing of the transactions contemplated in the share exchange agreement and the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common stock in the capital of Nevada Lithium Corporation occurred on October 19, 2009. In accordance with the closing of the share exchange agreement, we 3 issued 12,350,000 shares of our common stock to the former shareholders of Nevada Lithium Corporation in exchange for the acquisition, by our company, of all of the 12,350,000 issued and outstanding shares of Nevada Lithium Corporation. Also, pursuant to the terms of the share exchange agreement, a then director of our company cancelled 220,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock. OUR CURRENT BUSINESS We are an exploration stage mining company engaged in the identification, acquisition, and exploration of metals and minerals with a focus on lithium mineralization on properties located in Nevada. Our current operational focus is to conduct exploration activities on our properties in Nevada, known as the Fish Lake Valley property, the Salt Wells property, and the San Emidio prospect. FISH LAKE VALLEY PROPERTY Fish Lake Valley is a lithium enriched playa (also known as a salar, or salt pan), which is located in west central Nevada in northern Esmeralda county, and the property is roughly centered at 417050E 4195350N (NAD 27 CONUS). We currently hold ninety two - eighty (80) acre Association Placer claims that cover approximately 7360 acres. Lithium-enriched Tertiary-era Fish Lake formation Rhyolitic tuffs or ash flow tuffs have accumulated in a valley or basinal environment. Over time interstitial formational waters in contact with these tuffs, have become enriched in lithium, which could possibly be amenable to the extraction by evaporative methods. The property was originally held under mining lease purchase agreement dated June 1, 2009 between Nevada Lithium Corporation, and Nevada Alaska Mining Co. Inc., Robert Craig, Barbara Craig, and Elizabeth Dickman. Nevada Lithium had agreed to issue the vendors $350,000 worth of common stock of our company in eight regular disbursements, the last of which occurred on March 31, 2011. To date all disbursements have been made of stock worth a total of $350,000, and claim ownership has been transferred to Lithium Corporation. The geological setting at Fish Lake Valley is highly analogous to the salars of Chile, Bolivia, & Peru, and more importantly Clayton Valley, where Chemetall has its Silver Peak lithium-brine operation. Access is excellent in Fish Lake Valley with all weather gravel roads leading to the property from State Highways 264, and 265, and maintained gravel roads ring the Playa. Power is available approximately 10 miles from the property, and the village of Dyer is approximately 12 miles to the south, while the town of Tonopah Nevada is approximately 50 miles to the East. Our company has completed a number of geochemical and geophysical studies on the property, and conducted a short drill program on the periphery of the playa in the fall of 2010. Near-surface brine sampling during the spring of 2011 has outlined a boron/lithium/potassium anomaly that is roughly 1.3 x 2 miles long, which has a smaller higher grade core where lithium mineralization ranges from 100 to 150 mg/L, with boron ranging from 1,500 to 2,670 mg/L, and potassium from 5,400 to 8,400 mg/L. Our company had planned to drill this property during the summer/fall of 2011, but it had been considerably wetter than normal there, and the opportunity to safely drill this property did not present itself in 2011. Our company plans to drill this property as soon as feasible in 2012. SALT WELLS The Salt Wells property was acquired through staking a 12,320 acre parcel that covers the Eightmile Basin, a playa, which lies approximately 15 miles to the southeast of Fallon, the county seat of Churchill County, Nevada. In 2011 the property was reduced through allowing a number of non-prospective, non-strategic claims to lapse. Currently our company holds 6400 acres here. Exploratory sediment sampling of the playa was conducted in the summer and fall of 2009 and 83% of the samples taken within the claim area have returned anomalous values in lithium, with the highest value being in the order of 750 ppm Li. In 2010 continued geochemical work, and geophysical studies were performed on the property, and a brine sampling program is currently underway there. Brine sampling in the winter and spring of 2011 delineated an anomaly here which is roughly three quarters of a mile wide by one and a half miles 4 long, with values up to 36.5 mg/L lithium. This work was followed up by a gravity geophysical survey during the summer of 2011, which indicated that the brine anomaly in this property is proximal to a basin bounding structure. The strong lithium values coupled with proximity to a geothermal field and quaternary faulting possibly indicate that conditions may be favorable for the formation of a subsurface lithium brine reservoir similar to that currently being exploited at Silver Peak in Esmeralda County, Nevada. After two failed attempts to drill the property due to wet conditions in spring and summer 2011 our company finally succeeded in completing a 31 site - 3,437 foot direct push drill program in September, 2011. In all 46 samples were taken, at varying depths down to 155 feet subsurface. All samples were submitted to Inspectorate Laboratory in Reno Nevada, with check samples analyzed by ALS Laboratories also of Reno. Strong brines were discovered during the drilling here, however lithium values were generally lower than anticipated, and we are presently considering various options for ongoing exploration here in 2012. SAN EMIDIO The San Emidio property was acquired through the staking of claims in September 2011. The twenty - eighty (80) acre Association Placer claims staked here cover an area of approximately 1600 acres. The property is approximately 65 miles north-northeast of Reno, Nevada, and has excellent infrastructure. Lithium Corporation developed this prospect during 2009, and 2010 through surface sampling, and the early reconnaissance sampling determined that anomalous values for Lithium occur in the Playa sediments over a good portion of the playa. This sampling appeared to indicate that the most prospective areas on the Playa may be on the newly staked block proximal to the southern margin of the basin, where it is possible the structures that are responsible for the geothermal system here may also have influenced Lithium deposition in sediments. In spring 2011 our company conducted near-surface brine sampling and a high resolution gravity geophysical survey in summer/fall 2011. The company permitted a 7 hole drilling program with the BLM in late fall, and a Direct Push drill program was commenced in early February 2012. Drilling here delineated a narrow elongate shallow brine reservoir which is greater than 2.5 miles length, and which is adjacent to a basinal feature outlined by the earlier gravity survey. Two values of over 20 milligrams/liter lithium were obtained from two holes located centrally in this brine anomaly. Our Company is currently considering various options for ongoing exploration here in 2012. OTHER Our company allowed all 62 Association Placer Claims held at our Cortez Prospect in Lander County Nevada to lapse in September of 2011, as although drilling there in the summer of 2011 determined that a considerable volume of brine can be found locally, lithium contents were low, and our company concluded that it would perhaps be more prudent to focus resources elsewhere. Lithium Corporation also remained active during 2011 exploring other locations which are felt to be prospective for hosting lithium mineralization, as well as evaluating opportunities brought to the company by third parties. COMPETITION The mining industry is intensely competitive. We compete with numerous individuals and companies, including many major mining companies, which have substantially greater technical, financial and operational resources and staffs. Accordingly, there is a high degree of competition for access to funds. There are other competitors that have operations in the area and the presence of these competitors could adversely affect our ability to compete for financing and obtain the service providers, staff or equipment necessary for the exploration and exploitation of our properties. 5 COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENT REGULATION Mining operations and exploration activities are subject to various national, state, provincial and local laws and regulations in United States, as well as other jurisdictions, which govern prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection of the environment, mine safety, hazardous substances and other matters. We believe that we are and will continue to be in compliance in all material respects with applicable statutes and the regulations passed in the United States. There are no current orders or directions relating to our company with respect to the foregoing laws and regulations. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT We have incurred $Nil in research and development expenditures over the last two fiscal years. EMPLOYEES Currently our only employees are our directors and officers. We do and will continue to outsource contract employment as needed. With project advancement and if we are successful in any exploration or drilling programs, we may retain additional employees. SUBSIDIARIES We have one wholly owned subsidiary, Nevada Lithium Corporation, a Nevada corporation. ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS Our business operations are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to those set forth below: RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH MINING ALL OF OUR PROPERTIES ARE IN THE EXPLORATION STAGE. THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT WE CAN ESTABLISH THE EXISTENCE OF ANY MINERAL RESOURCE ON ANY OF OUR PROPERTIES IN COMMERCIALLY EXPLOITABLE QUANTITIES. UNTIL WE CAN DO SO, WE CANNOT EARN ANY REVENUES FROM OPERATIONS AND IF WE DO NOT DO SO WE WILL LOSE ALL OF THE FUNDS THAT WE EXPEND ON EXPLORATION. IF WE DO NOT DISCOVER ANY MINERAL RESOURCE IN A COMMERCIALLY EXPLOITABLE QUANTITY, OUR BUSINESS COULD FAIL. Despite exploration work on our mineral properties, we have not established that any of them contain any mineral reserve, nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to do so. If we do not, our business could fail. A mineral reserve is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in its Industry Guide 7 (which can be viewed over the Internet at http://www.sec.gov/about/forms/industryguides.pdf) as that part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. The probability of an individual prospect ever having a "reserve" that meets the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Industry Guide 7 is extremely remote; in all probability our mineral resource property does not contain any 'reserve' and any funds that we spend on exploration will probably be lost. Even if we do eventually discover a mineral reserve on one or more of our properties, there can be no assurance that we will be able to develop our properties into producing mines and extract those resources. Both mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. 6 The commercial viability of an established mineral deposit will depend on a number of factors including, by way of example, the size, grade and other attributes of the mineral deposit, the proximity of the resource to infrastructure such as a smelter, roads and a point for shipping, government regulation and market prices. Most of these factors will be beyond our control, and any of them could increase costs and make extraction of any identified mineral resource unprofitable. MINERAL OPERATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW AND GOVERNMENT REGULATION. EVEN IF WE DISCOVER A MINERAL RESOURCE IN A COMMERCIALLY EXPLOITABLE QUANTITY, THESE LAWS AND REGULATIONS COULD RESTRICT OR PROHIBIT THE EXPLOITATION OF THAT MINERAL RESOURCE. IF WE CANNOT EXPLOIT ANY MINERAL RESOURCE THAT WE MIGHT DISCOVER ON OUR PROPERTIES, OUR BUSINESS MAY FAIL. Both mineral exploration and extraction require permits from various foreign, federal, state, provincial and local governmental authorities and are governed by laws and regulations, including those with respect to prospecting, mine development, mineral production, transport, export, taxation, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain any of the permits required for the continued exploration of our mineral properties or for the construction and operation of a mine on our properties at economically viable costs. If we cannot accomplish these objectives, our business could fail. We believe that we are in compliance with all material laws and regulations that currently apply to our activities but there can be no assurance that we can continue to remain in compliance. Current laws and regulations could be amended and we might not be able to comply with them, as amended. Further, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain all permits necessary for our future operations, or that we will be able to obtain them on reasonable terms. To the extent such approvals are required and are not obtained, we may be delayed or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of our mineral properties. IF WE ESTABLISH THE EXISTENCE OF A MINERAL RESOURCE ON ANY OF OUR PROPERTIES IN A COMMERCIALLY EXPLOITABLE QUANTITY, WE WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL IN ORDER TO DEVELOP THE PROPERTY INTO A PRODUCING MINE. IF WE CANNOT RAISE THIS ADDITIONAL CAPITAL, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXPLOIT THE RESOURCE, AND OUR BUSINESS COULD FAIL. If we do discover mineral resources in commercially exploitable quantities on any of our properties, we will be required to expend substantial sums of money to establish the extent of the resource, develop processes to extract it and develop extraction and processing facilities and infrastructure. Although we may derive substantial benefits from the discovery of a major deposit, there can be no assurance that such a resource will be large enough to justify commercial operations, nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to raise the funds required for development on a timely basis. If we cannot raise the necessary capital or complete the necessary facilities and infrastructure, our business may fail. MINERAL EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT IS SUBJECT TO EXTRAORDINARY OPERATING RISKS. WE DO NOT CURRENTLY INSURE AGAINST THESE RISKS. IN THE EVENT OF A CAVE-IN OR SIMILAR OCCURRENCE, OUR LIABILITY MAY EXCEED OUR RESOURCES, WHICH WOULD HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON OUR COMPANY. Mineral exploration, development and production involves many risks which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Our operations will be subject to all the hazards and risks inherent in the exploration for mineral resources and, if we discover a mineral resource in commercially exploitable quantity, our operations could be subject to all of the hazards and risks inherent in the development and production of resources, including liability for pollution, cave-ins or similar hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. Any such event could result in work stoppages and damage to property, including damage to the environment. We do not currently maintain any insurance coverage against these operating hazards. The payment of any liabilities that arise from any such occurrence would have a material adverse impact on our company. 7 MINERAL PRICES ARE SUBJECT TO DRAMATIC AND UNPREDICTABLE FLUCTUATIONS. We expect to derive revenues, if any, either from the sale of our mineral resource properties or from the extraction and sale of lithium and/or associated byproducts. The price of those commodities has fluctuated widely in recent years, and is affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including international, economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates, global or regional consumptive patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to new extraction developments and improved extraction and production methods. The effect of these factors on the price of base and precious metals, and therefore the economic viability of any of our exploration properties and projects, cannot accurately be predicted. THE MINING INDUSTRY IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AND THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN ACQUIRING MINERAL CLAIMS. IF WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO ACQUIRE PROPERTIES TO EXPLORE FOR MINERAL RESOURCES, WE MAY BE REQUIRED TO REDUCE OR CEASE OPERATIONS. The mineral exploration, development, and production industry is largely un-integrated. We compete with other exploration companies looking for mineral resource properties. While we compete with other exploration companies in the effort to locate and acquire mineral resource properties, we will not compete with them for the removal or sales of mineral products from our properties if we should eventually discover the presence of them in quantities sufficient to make production economically feasible. Readily available markets exist worldwide for the sale of mineral products. Therefore, we will likely be able to sell any mineral products that we identify and produce. In identifying and acquiring mineral resource properties, we compete with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities. This competition could adversely affect our ability to acquire suitable prospects for exploration in the future. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will acquire any interest in additional mineral resource properties that might yield reserves or result in commercial mining operations. RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY THE FACT THAT WE HAVE NOT EARNED ANY OPERATING REVENUES SINCE OUR INCORPORATION RAISES SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO EXPLORE OUR MINERAL PROPERTIES AS A GOING CONCERN. We have not generated any revenue from operations since our incorporation and we anticipate that we will continue to incur operating expenses without revenues unless and until we are able to identify a mineral resource in a commercially exploitable quantity on one or more of our mineral properties and we build and operate a mine. We had cash in the amount of $970,030 as of December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2011, we had working capital of $1,022,395. We incurred a net loss of $590,911 for the year ended December 31, 2011 and $1,684,297 since inception. We estimate our average monthly operating expenses to be approximately $42,000, including property costs, management services and administrative costs. Should the results of our planned exploration require us to increase our current operating budget, we may have to raise additional funds to meet our currently budgeted operating requirements for the next 12 months. As we cannot assure a lender that we will be able to successfully explore and develop our mineral properties, we will probably find it difficult to raise debt financing from traditional lending sources. We have traditionally raised our operating capital from sales of equity securities, but there can be no assurance that we will continue to be able to do so. If we cannot raise the money that we need to continue exploration of our mineral properties, we may be forced to delay, scale back, or eliminate our exploration activities. If any of these were to occur, there is a substantial risk that our business would fail. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement of its capital stock. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our company's ability to continue as a going concern. Although there are no assurances that management's plans will be realized, management believes that our company will be able to continue operations in the future. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event our company cannot continue in existence." We continue to experience net operating losses. 8 RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMMON STOCK TRADING ON THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD MAY BE VOLATILE AND SPORADIC, WHICH COULD DEPRESS THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR OUR STOCKHOLDERS TO RESELL THEIR SHARES. Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board service of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Trading in stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like NASDAQ or a stock exchange like Amex. Accordingly, shareholders may have difficulty reselling any of their shares. OUR STOCK IS A PENNY STOCK. TRADING OF OUR STOCK MAY BE RESTRICTED BY THE SEC'S PENNY STOCK REGULATIONS AND FINRA'S SALES PRACTICE REQUIREMENTS, WHICH MAY LIMIT A STOCKHOLDER'S ABILITY TO BUY AND SELL OUR STOCK. Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors". The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in, and limit the marketability of, our common stock. In addition to the "penny stock" rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock. OTHER RISKS TRENDS, RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock. 9 ITEM 1B.

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA As a "smaller reporting company", we are not required to provide the information required by this Item. ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated audited financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this annual report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to those discussed below and elsewhere in this annual report, particularly in the section entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 7 of this annual report. Our consolidated audited financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. OVERVIEW We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 30, 2007 under the name "Utalk Communications Inc." At inception, we were a development stage corporation engaged in the business of developing and marketing a call-back service using a call-back platform. Because we were not successful in implementing our business plan, we considered various alternatives to ensure the viability and solvency of our company. We are an exploration stage mining company engaged in the identification, acquisition, and exploration of metals and minerals with a focus on lithium mineralization on properties located in Nevada. PLAN OF OPERATIONS AND CASH REQUIREMENTS CASH REQUIREMENTS Our current operational focus is to conduct exploration activities on our properties in Nevada, known as the Fish Lake Valley property, the Salt Wells property, and San Emidio. We expect to review other potential exploration projects from time to time as they are presented to us. Our net cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2011 was $84,984 as compared to $1,829,653 during the year ended December 31, 2010. Over the next twelve months we expect to expend funds as follows: ESTIMATED NET EXPENDITURES DURING THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS General, Administrative Expenses $200,000 Exploration Expenses 250,000 Travel 50,000 -------- TOTAL $500,000 ======== We have suffered recurring losses from operations. The continuation of our company is dependent upon our company attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital as needed. The continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing, a successful program of exploration and/or development, and, finally, achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our 12 current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations. As noted herein, we are pursuing various financing alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will be unable to conduct our operations as planned, and we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due. In such event, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010 The following summary of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, which are included herein. Our operating results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 and the changes between those periods for the respective items are summarized as follows: Change Between Twelve Month Period Ended Twelve Months Twelve Months December 31, 2011 Ended Ended and December 31, December 31, December 30, 2011 2010 2010 ---------- ---------- ---------- Revenue $ Nil $ Nil $ Nil Professional fees 27,903 44,306 (16,403) Exploration expenses 264,379 182,721 81,658 Consulting fees 49,120 178,744 (129,624) Insurance expense 15,601 3,303 12,298 Amortization 552 1,000 (448) Investor Relations 71,406 93,712 (22,306) Interest 985 3,949 (2,964) Management fees Nil 41,800 (41,800) Transfer agent and filing fees 12,536 6,224 6,312 Travel 18,805 20,403 (1,598) Stock option compensation Nil 244,045 (244,045) Website development Nil Nil Nil Write-down of website Nil Nil Nil Write-down of property 134,213 15,396 118,817 General and administrative 14,668 16,814 (2,385) ---------- ---------- ---------- Total Operating Expenses $ 610,168 $ 852,656 $(242,488) ========= ========= ========= Our accumulated losses increased to $1,684,297 as of December 31, 2011. Our financial statements report a net loss of $590,911 for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2011 compared to a net loss of $852,656 for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2010. Our losses have decreased primarily as a result of no stock options being granted in the most current fiscal year end. Our total current liabilities as of December 31, 2011 were $21,730 as compared to total current liabilities of $47,237 as of December 31, 2010. The decrease was due to the Company having less trades payable at year-end. 13 Our operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $610,168 compared to $852,656 as of December 31, 2010. The decrease in operating expenses were primarily a result of no stock options being granted in the most current fiscal year end. LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION At At December 31, December 31, 2011 2010 ---------- ---------- Current assets $1,044,125 $1,461,658 Current liabilities 21,730 47,267 ---------- ---------- Working capital $1,022,395 $1,414,421 ========== ========== WORKING CAPITAL CASH FLOWS Year Ended December 31 2011 2010 ---------- ---------- Net cash (used in) operating activities $ (487,498) $ (685,986) Net Cash (used in) investing activities (26,214) (105,420) Net cash provided by financing activities 84,984 1,829,653 ---------- ---------- Net increase (decrease) in cash during period $ (428,728) 1,038,247 ========== ========== OPERATING ACTIVITIES Net cash used in operating activities was $487,498 for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared with net cash used in operating activities of $685,986 in the same period in 2010. INVESTING ACTIVITIES Net cash used in investing activities was $26,214 for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $236,670 in the same period in 2010. The decrease in use of cash of $210,456 in investing activities is mainly attributable to less funds being used to acquire mineral property interests in the most currently completed fiscal year end. FINANCING ACTIVITIES Net cash provided by financing activities was $84,984 for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $1,829,653 provided by financing activities in the same period in 2010. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS As a "smaller reporting company", we are not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations. GOING CONCERN As of December 31, 2011, our company has accumulated losses of $1,684,297 since inception and has earned no revenues since inception. Our company intends to fund operations through equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the year ending December 31, 2011. The ability of our company to emerge from the development stage is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations, and development of our business plan. In response to these problems, management intends to raise additional funds through public or private placement offerings. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our company's ability to continue as a 14 going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financial statements. EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles related to accounting and reporting by exploration stage companies. An exploration stage company is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if its operations have commenced, there has been no significant revenues there from. ACCOUNTING BASIS The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP" accounting). The Company has adopted a December 31 fiscal year end. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash includes cash on account, demand deposits, and short-term instruments with maturities of three months or less. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company continually monitors its banking relationships and consequently has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company is in the exploration stage and has yet to realize revenues from operations. Once the Company has commenced operations, it will recognize revenues when delivery of goods or completion of services has occurred provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, acceptance has been approved by its customers, the fee is fixed or determinable based on the completion of stated terms and conditions, and collection of any related receivable is probable. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiary. All material inter-company transactions have been eliminated. 15 LOSS PER SHARE Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities only when such conversion, exercise or issuance would have a dilutive effect on earnings per share. The dilutive effect of convertible securities is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the "if converted" method. In the periods in which a loss is incurred, the effect of potential issuances of shares under options and warrants would be anti-dilutive, and therefore basic and diluted losses per share are the same. COMPUTER EQUIPMENT Computer equipment is stated on the basis of historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which has been estimated as 2 years. Impairment losses are recorded on computer equipment used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. INCOME TAXES The asset and liability approach is used to account for income taxes by recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. Because of the short maturity and capacity of prompt liquidation of such assets and liabilities, the fair value of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values, unless otherwise noted. MINERAL PROPERTIES Costs of exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral lease properties are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized including licenses and lease payments. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects. Impairment losses are recorded on mineral properties used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. Impairment of $134,213 was recorded in 2011 relating to the abandonment of some mineral claims. ITEM 7A.

Corporation (An Exploration Stage Company) Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2011 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Lithium Corporation (formerly Utalk Communications Inc.) was incorporated on January 30, 2007 under the laws of Nevada. On September 30, 2009, Utalk Communications Inc. changed its name to Lithium Corporation. Nevada Lithium Corporation was incorporated on March 16, 2009 under the laws of Nevada under the name Lithium Corporation. On September 10, 2009, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to change its name to Nevada Lithium Corporation. By agreement dated October 09, 2009 Nevada Lithium Corporation and Lithium Corporation amalgamated as Lithium Corporation. Lithium Corporation is engaged in the acquisition and development of certain lithium interests in the state of Nevada, and is currently in the exploration stage. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles related to accounting and reporting by exploration stage companies.

Impairment losses are recorded on computer equipment used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. INCOME TAXES The asset and liability approach is used to account for income taxes by recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. Because of the short maturity and capacity of prompt liquidation of such assets and liabilities, the fair value of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values, unless otherwise noted. MINERAL PROPERTIES Costs of exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral lease properties are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized including licenses and lease payments. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects. Impairment losses are recorded on mineral properties used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. Impairment of $134,213 was recorded in 2011 relating to the abandonment of some mineral claims. 23 Lithium Corporation (An Exploration Stage Company) Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2011 NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN Lithium's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will realize its assets and liquidate its liabilities in the normal course of business. However, Lithium has no current source of revenue, recurring losses and a deficit accumulated during the exploration stage of $1,684,297 as of December 31, 2011. These factors, among others, raise, substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Lithium's management plans on raising cash from public or private debt or equity financing, on an as-needed basis and in the longer term, revenues from the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral interests, if found. Lithium's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on these additional cash financings and, ultimately, upon achieving profitable operations through the development of mineral interests. The successful outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. NOTE 3 - PREPAID EXPENSES Prepaid expenses consisted of the following at December 31, 2011 and 2010: 2011 2010 -------- -------- Professional fees $ -- $ 10,275 Exploration costs 9,000 34,352 Bonds 39,754 12,975 Rent 298 298 Insurance 12,395 -- Office 5,804 -- Investor relations 6,170 -- Consulting -- 5,000 -------- -------- Total prepaid expenses $ 73,421 $ 62,900 ======== ======== NOTE 4 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT 2011 2010 -------- -------- Computer Equipment $ 2,433 $ 2,002 Less: Accumulated amortization (2,056) (1,504) -------- -------- Property and equipment, net $ 377 $ 498 ======== ======== Amortization expense was $522 and $1,000 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. 24 Lithium Corporation (An Exploration Stage Company) Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2011 NOTE 5 - MINERAL PROPERTIES FISH LAKE PROPERTY The Company has purchased a 100% interest in the Fish Lake property by making staged payments of $350,000 worth of common stock.

WARRANTS Outstanding at Issue Date Number Price Expiry Date December 31, 2011 ---------- ------ ----- ----------- ----------------- March 24, 2010 2,000,000 $1.35 March 24, 2012 2,000,000 The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: term of 1 and years, dividend yield of 0%, risk free interest rates of 0.03% and 1.60%% and volatility of 110%. The fair value of the warrants was adjusted against additional paid in capital. 26 Lithium Corporation (An Exploration Stage Company) Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 2011 NOTE 6 - CAPITAL STOCK (CONTINUED) Stock Based Compensation The Company granted 500,000 options at an exercise price of $0.28 to consultants in exchange for various professional services. The Company granted another 800,000 options to consultants for management services at exercise price of $0.24. These options were vested on the date of grant. During the year ended December 31, 2011, 350,000 stock options were exercised for proceeds totalling $84,000. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value stock options granted. The Black- Scholes model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. The model requires management to make estimates, which are subjective and may not be representative of actual results. Assumptions used to determine the fair value of the stock based compensation is as follows: Risk free interest rate 2.40% Expected dividend yield 0% Expected stock price volatility 93% Expected life of options 5 years Weighted Total Average Weighted Total Remaining Average Exercise Options Life Exercise Options Prices Outstanding (Years) Price Exercisable ------ ----------- ------- ----- ----------- $0.28 500,000 3.73 $0.28 500,000 $0.24 450,000 3.73 $0.24 450,000 Total stock-based compensation for the year- ended December 31, 2011 was $Nil (2010: $244,045).

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $1,684,297 that may be available to reduce future years' taxable income in varying amounts through 2031. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carry-forwards. B. The provision for Federal income tax consists of the following at December 31: 2011 2010 ---------- ---------- Federal income tax benefit attributable to: Current operations $ 200,910 $ 289,903 Less: valuation allowance (200,910) (289,903) ---------- ---------- Net provision for Federal income taxes $ 0 $ 0 ========== ========== The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 34% of significant items comprising our net deferred tax amount is as follows at December 31: 2011 2010 ---------- ---------- Deferred tax asset attributable to: Net operating loss carryover $ 572,661 $ 371,751 Less: valuation allowance (572,661) (371,751) ---------- ---------- Net deferred tax asset $ 0 $ 0 ========== ========== Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $1,684,297 for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years. NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to December 31, 2011 through the date these financial statements were issued, and has determined that it does not have any other material subsequent events to disclose. 28 ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE There were no disagreements related to accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, internal controls or auditing scope or procedure during the two fiscal years and interim periods, including the interim period up through the date the relationship ended. ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president (our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principle accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of December 31, 2011, the end of our fiscal year covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our president (our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principle accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our president (our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principle accounting officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of control procedures. The objectives of internal control include providing management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. 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. Our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2011, our internal control over financial reporting is effective. Our management reviewed the results of their assessment with our board of directors. This annual report does not include an attestation report of our company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit our company to provide only management's report in this annual report. INHERENT LIMITATIONS ON EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations which include but is not limited to the use of independent professionals for advice and guidance, interpretation of existing and/or changing rules and principles, segregation of management duties, scale of organization, and personnel factors. Internal control over financial reporting is a process which involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis, however these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and 29 presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2011 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by our company, or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Form 5s were required for those persons, we believe that, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, all filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners as well as our officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners of our subsidiaries were complied with, with the exception of the following: 32 Number of Transactions Not Number of Late Reported on a Timely Failure to File Name Reports Basis Requested Forms ---- ------- ----- --------------- Hleiss Mazen 1(1) 3 Nil ---------- (1) the insider was late filing an Exit Form 4, Notice of Change of Beneficial Ownership. CODE OF ETHICS Effective March 25, 2011, our company's board of directors adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to, among other persons, our company's principal executive officer and our principal financial and accounting officer, as well as persons performing similar functions. As adopted, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote: (1) honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; (2) full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by us; (3) compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations; (4) the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; and (5) accountability for adherence to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires, among other things, that all of our company's personnel shall be accorded full access to our president and secretary with respect to any matter which may arise relating to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Further, all of our company's personnel are to be accorded full access to our company's board of directors if any such matter involves an alleged breach of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by our president or secretary. In addition, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics emphasizes that all employees, and particularly managers and/or supervisors, have a responsibility for maintaining financial integrity within our company, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, and federal, provincial and state securities laws. Any employee who becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting manipulation or other irregularities, whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to his or her immediate supervisor or to our company's president or secretary. If the incident involves an alleged breach of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by the president or secretary, the incident must be reported to any member of our board of directors. Any failure to report such inappropriate or irregular conduct of others is to be treated as a severe disciplinary matter. It is against our company policy to retaliate against any individual who reports in good faith the violation or potential violation of our company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by another. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is filed herewith with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 14.1 to this annual report. We will provide a copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to any person without charge, upon request.

All proceedings of the board of directors were conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by all the directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the directors. Such resolutions consented to in writing by the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of the directors are, according to the Nevada General Corporate Law and our Bylaws, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of the directors duly called and held. NOMINATION PROCESS As of December 31, 2011, we did not effect any material changes to the procedures by which our shareholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors. Our board of directors does not have a policy with regards to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by our shareholders. Our board of directors has determined that it is in the best position to evaluate our company's requirements as well as the qualifications of each candidate when the board considers a nominee for a position on our board of directors. If shareholders wish to recommend candidates directly to our board, they may do so by sending communications to the president of our company at the address on the cover of this annual report. AUDIT COMMITTEE Currently our audit committee consists of our entire board of directors. We do not have a standing audit committee as we currently have limited working capital and no revenues. With our recent management change however, we have positioned ourselves with an audit committee financial expert and independent director should we be able to raise sufficient funding to execute our business plan. With success we will form an audit, compensation committee and other applicable committees utilizing our directors expertise. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT Our board of directors has determined that John Webster qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS The following table sets forth, as of April 5, 2012, certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common shares by each shareholder known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common shares, as well as by each of our current directors and executive officers as a group. Each person has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock, except as otherwise indicated. Beneficial ownership consists of a direct interest in the shares of common stock, except as otherwise indicated. Name and Address of Amount and Nature of Percentage Beneficial Owner Beneficial Ownership of Class(1) ---------------- -------------------- ----------- Tom Lewis 10,000,000 Common Shares 15.708% PO Box 2053 Richland, WA 99352 John Hiner 10,000,000 Common Shares 15.708% 9443 Axlund Road Lynden, WA 98264 Henry Tonking PO Box 6945 Incline Village, NV 89450 Nil 0% Stephen Goss 36 W. 16th Ave Spokane, WA 99203 Nil 0% John Webster 224 W. 16th Avenue, Spokane, WA 99203] Nil 0% Directors and Executive Officers as a Group(1) 20,000,000 Common Shares 31.416% ---------- (1) Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the 37 shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person's actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on March 30, 2012. As of March 30, 2012 there were 63,661,408 shares of our company's common stock issued and outstanding CHANGES IN CONTROL We are unaware of any contract or other arrangement the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of our company. ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE Except as disclosed herein, no director, executive officer, shareholder holding at least 5% of shares of our common stock, or any family member thereof, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or proposed transaction since the year ended December 31, 2011, in which the amount involved in the transaction exceeded or exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at the year end for the last three completed fiscal years. DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE We currently act with five (5) directors, consisting of Tom Lewis, John Hiner, Henry Tonking, Stephen Goss and John Webster. We have determined that Henry Tonking, Stephen Goss and John Webster are independent directors, as that term is used in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Rules of National Association of Securities Dealers. Currently our audit committee consists of our entire board of directors. We currently do not have nominating, compensation committees or committees performing similar functions. There has not been any defined policy or procedure requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nomination for directors. Our board of directors has determined that John Webster qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. From inception to present date, we believe that the members of our audit committee and the board of directors have been and are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES The aggregate fees billed for the most recently completed fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and for fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows: 38 Year Ended December 31, 2011 December 31, 2010 ----------------- ----------------- Audit Fees $ 8,000 $ 8,000 Audit Related Fees $ 5,250 $ 5,250 Tax Fees $ Nil $ 1,800 All Other Fees $ Nil $ Nil ------- ------- Total $13,250 $15,050 ======= ======= Our board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered. Our board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by our independent auditors and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining our independent auditors' independence.
