Thorium Power, Ltd.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
 
1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited financial information of Thorium Power Ltd. (the “Company”) and subsidiaries furnished herein has been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and reflects all adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly state the Company's interim financial position and the results of its operations for the periods presented. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to such rules and regulations and, accordingly, this report on Form 10-QSB should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read or have access to the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. Accordingly, footnote disclosure, which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, has been omitted. The results of operations for the nine month and three month periods ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2007.

2.  NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND MERGER WITH THORIUM POWER INC.
 
Radkowsky Thorium Power Corp., incorporated in the state of Delaware on January 8, 1992 (“Inception”), changed its name to Thorium Power, Inc. in Apri1 2001. Thorium Power, Inc. is engaged in the development, promotion and marketing of its three patented nuclear fuel designs: (1) Thorium/uranium nuclear fuel, (2) Thorium/reactor-grade plutonium disposing fuel, and (3) Thorium/weapons-grade plutonium disposing fuel. These fuels are designed to be used in existing light water reactors. Presently, we are focusing most of our efforts on demonstrating and testing our nuclear fuel technology for the Russian designed VVER-1000 reactors.

Once our reactor fuels are further developed and tested, we plan to license our intellectual property rights to fuel fabricators, nuclear generators, and governments for use in commercial light water nuclear reactors, or sell the technology to a major nuclear company or government contractor or some combination of the two. We anticipate having our technology fully developed for VVER-1000 reactors and our fuel tested in a VVER-1000 operating reactor in the next three years. Presently all our research, testing and demonstration activities are being conducted in Russia. Our research operations are subject to various political, economic, and other risks and uncertainties inherent in Russia.

Our nuclear fuel process is dependent on the ability of suppliers of the mineral thorium, to provide it to our future customers on a timely basis and also on favorable pricing terms. The loss of certain principal suppliers of thorium or a significant reduction in thorium availability from principal suppliers could have a material adverse effect on the future operating results of the Company.

We participate in a highly regulated industry that is characterized by governmental regulation. Our results of operations are affected by a wide variety of factors including general economic conditions, decreases in the use or public favor of nuclear power, the ability of our technology, the ability to safeguard the production of nuclear power and safeguarding our patents and intellectual property from competitors. Due to these factors, we may experience substantial period-to-period fluctuations in our future operating results.

Operations to date have been devoted primarily to continued development of our fuel designs, filing for certain patents relating to our technology, developing strategic relationships within the nuclear industry, securing political and some financial support from the United States and Russian governments, and administrative functions. We, therefore, based on our current operations, prepare our accompanying consolidated financial statements as a Development Stage Enterprise.
 


3.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
a) Consolidation
 
These financial statements include the accounts of Thorium Ltd (a Nevada corporation) and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Thorium Power, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and TP Acquisition Corp., (a Delaware corporation), collectively the (“Company”).

On October 6, 2006, a merger took place between Thorium Power, Ltd. and Thorium Power, Inc. For financial reporting purposes, this merger transaction was recorded as a recapitalization of Thorium Power, Inc., whereby Thorium Power, Inc. is deemed to be the continuing surviving entity for accounting purposes, but through reorganization, has deemed to have adopted the capital structure of Thorium Power, Ltd. Accordingly, all references to common shares of Thorium Power Inc.’s common stock have been restated to reflect the equivalent number of Thorium Power, Ltd.’s common shares.
 
All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
b) Use of Estimates
 
 The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
  
These consolidated financial statements include some amounts that are based on management's best estimates and judgments. The most significant estimates relate to valuation of stock grants, stock options and stock purchase warrants, and various contingent liabilities. These above-mentioned estimates and others may be adjusted as more current information becomes available, and any adjustment could be significant in future reporting periods.
 
c) Prior Year Reclassifications
 
Certain reclassifications have been made to our prior years' financial statements in order to conform to the current year presentation. On our Statement of Operations, certain general and administrative expenses were combined into the one expense caption called general and administrative expenses. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or accumulated deficit of Thorium Power, Inc.
  
d) Warrants – Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncement
 
Warrants issued in conjunction with equity financing were accounted for under the Emerging Issues Task Force FSP (“EITF”) Issue No. 00-19, `Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in a Company's Own Stock'. In December 2006, the FASB approved FSP EITF 00-19-2 Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements, which establishes the standard that contingent obligations to make future payments under a registration rights arrangement shall be recognized and measured separately in accordance with Statement 5 and FASB Interpretation No. 14, Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss. The Company has evaluated the effect of how FSP EITF 00-19-2 and FSP EITF Topic D-98 affected these accompanying financial statements. The adoption of FSP EITF 00-19-2 accounting pronouncement on January 1, 2007 changed the classification of the warrant liability, total $1,132,440 at January 1, 2007, to stockholders’ equity (additional paid in capital).

4.  Financial Status and Going Concern Considerations – September 30, 2007
 
Management anticipates, based on its current projected working capital requirements, that it will have enough working capital funds to sustain its current operations at its current operating level, until sometime during the second calendar quarter of 2008. The Company will therefore need to raise additional capital before the end of the second quarter of 2008, either by having future issuances of its stock or incurring debt, in order to provide the additional working capital funds required to continue its operations into 2008 and beyond.
 

 
5. Research and Development Costs 

Research and development costs, amounted to $297,064 and $10,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 respectively, and $141,593 and $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 respectively and $4,223,622 from January 8, 1992 (Inception) to September 30, 2007

6. Stockholders' Equity

Total common stock outstanding at September 30, 2007 was 297,065,650. At September 30, 2007, there were 19,098,752 stock purchase warrants and 36,185,934 stock options outstanding, all totaling 352,350,336 of total stock and stock equivalents outstanding September 30, 2007.
  
a). Common Stock Issued With Registration Rights - Temporary Equity Reclassified to Permanent Equity

On May 4, 2006, the Company completed a private placement with certain investors in which it sold an aggregate of 36,659,837 units, consisting of 36,659,837 shares of its restricted common stock and 18,329,918 common stock purchase warrants for $15,580,431. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one-half of a non-transferable share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder of the warrant to acquire one additional share of common stock at a price of $0.65 per share and expires twelve months from the closing date of the subscription expiration date or term subsequently extended 6 months.

Under the terms of the sale, the investors were granted registration rights in which the Company agreed to timely file a registration statement to register the common shares and the shares underlying the warrants, obtain effectiveness of the registration statement by the SEC on or before September 1, 2006, and maintain the effectiveness of this registration statement for a pre-set time thereafter. In the event the Company failed to timely perform under the registration rights agreement, the Company agreed to pay the investors liquidated damages in an amount equal to 2% of the aggregate amount invested by the investors for each 30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof following the date by which the registration statement should have been effective. The initial registration statement was timely filed, however it was not declared effective by the SEC within the allowed time. Accordingly, the Company was liable to the investors for liquidated damages under the registration rights agreement.
 
The SEC concluded that under EITF 00-19, common stock and warrants subject to registration rights where significant liquidated damages could be required to be paid to the holder of the instrument in the event the issuer fails to maintain the effectiveness of a registration statement for a preset time period, the common stock subject to such liquidated damages does not meet the tests required for shareholders' equity classification, and accordingly must be reflected between liabilities and shareholders' equity in the balance sheet until the conditions are eliminated. In analyzing instruments under EITF 00-19, the likelihood or probability related to the failure to maintain an effective registration statement is not a factor.

Based on the above interpretation, as of May 4, 2006, the Company classified $12,041,373 for the value of common stock subject to registration rights as temporary equity instead of shareholders' equity. In addition, the Company measured the initial fair value of the warrants on May 4, 2006 at $3,539,058 and classified at that date the fair value of the warrants as warrant liability instead of shareholders' equity.

At the end of each reporting period, the value of these warrants was re-measured based on the fair value of the underlying shares, and changes to the warrant liability and related “gain or loss in fair value of the warrants” was recorded as a non-cash charge or credit to earnings. The warrant liability was reclassified to shareholders' equity when the Company adopted a new accounting pronoucement FSP 00-19-2 as mentioned above in 2007.

The SEC has recently issued further guidance on EITF Topic No. D-98 (financial statement classification of securities issued between permanent equity and temporary equity), and this SEC staff guidance specifically mentions that registration payment arrangements are considered to be a separate unit of account, and these registration payment arrangements are now accounted for in accordance with FASB Staff Position FSP 00-19-2 as a contingent obligation and not part of the classification of equity. Therefore the SEC staff has generally concluded that the classification of financial instruments between permanent equity and temporary equity should not take into account the registration payment arrangement. The Company has no registration payment liabilities as of September 30, 2007. Based on the above, the Company classified $12,041,373 for the value of common stock subject to registration rights as permanent equity instead of temporary equity.



b) Share-based Compensation

The Company has in place a stock-based compensation plan to reward for services rendered by officers, directors, employees and consultants. On July 17, 2006, the Company amended this stock plan. The Company has reserved 75,000,000 shares of common stock of its unissued share capital for the stock plan. Other limitations are as follows:

i).  
No more than an aggregate of 37.5 million shares may be issued in the form of restricted shares during the term of the stock plan;

ii).  
The maximum number of shares of common stock with respect to which options may be granted to any one person during any fiscal year of the Company may not exceed 8,000,000 shares; and

iii).  
The maximum number of restricted shares which may be granted to any one person during any fiscal year of the Company may not exceed 5,000,000 shares.
 
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted FAS-123R. In March 2005, the SEC staff expressed their views with respect to FAS-123R in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment (“SAB 107”). SAB 107 provides guidance on valuing options. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for share-based payments under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”), and related Interpretations, as permitted by FAS-123. In accordance with APB 25, no compensation cost was required to be recognized for options granted that had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The Company adopted FAS-123R using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized in future interim and annual reporting periods includes: a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of FAS-123, and b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of FAS-123R.
 
The adoption of FAS-123R had no effect on cash flow from operations or cash flow from financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2007. FAS-123R requires the cash flows from tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (“excess tax benefits”) to be classified as financing cash flows. Prior to the adoptions of FAS-123R, excess tax benefits would have been classified as operating cash inflows. The Company has not recognized, and does not expect to recognize in the near future, any tax benefit related to stock-based compensation costs as a result of the full valuation allowance on our net operating loss carry forwards.

The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense for all service-based awards with graded vesting schedules on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. Initial accruals of compensation expense are based on the estimated number of shares for which requisite service is expected to be rendered. Estimates are revised if subsequent information indicates that forfeitures will differ from previous estimates, and the cumulative effect on compensation cost of a change in the estimated forfeitures is recognized in the period of the change.

For awards with service conditions and graded vesting that were granted prior to the adoption of FAS-123R, the Company estimates the requisite service period and the number of shares expected to vest and recognize compensation expense for each tranche on a straight-line basis over the estimated requisite service period of the award or over a period ending with an employee's eligible retirement date, if earlier. Adjustments to compensation expense as a result of revising the estimated requisite service period are recognized prospectively.

Total stock options outstanding at September 30, 2007 were 36,185,934 and 18,080,603 of these total options were vested at September 30, 2007.

Assumptions used in the Black Scholes option-pricing model are as follows:

The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding at September 30, 2007 was $ 288,313 of which $ 288,313 relates to vested awards. Intrinsic value is calculated based on the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the quoted price of our common stock as of the reporting date ($0.21 per share as of September 30, 2007).

During the nine and three months ended September 30, 2007, $3,582,344 and $1,127,610 respectively was recorded as stock-based compensation expense in the statement of operations. The result of all the above stock option grants included in stock-based compensation in the statement of operations, totaled $3,219,365 and $1,091,343 respectively, for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2007 (non-deductible for tax purposes, may provide a tax deduction for the Company when exercised). Stock compensation to executive officers totaled $77,778 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This compensation was recorded as a result of the issuance of 1 million shares of restricted stock to the Company’s new Chief Operating Officer, pursuant to an employment agreement entered into effective February 1, 2007. These shares vest monthly over a 36 month period and the stock price was $0.35 per share on the date of the agreement. This stock issuance resulted in a total deferred stock compensation expense of $350,000, to be recognized over a 36 month period starting February 1, 2007. For the nine and three months ended September 30, 2007, $77,778 and $29,167 respectively of this total compensation amount was recognized as stock compensation expense and the remaining amount $272,222 was recorded as deferred stock compensation, a contra equity account on the balance sheet. Some stock volatility factors used by Thorium Power Ltd. for five option grants in its fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 calculated the volatility factor for Black Scholes using the term of the option, which is general practice, not from the announcement date of the merger, January 5, 2006, which was later determined to be a more applicable date range due to the announcement date being the date the stock market reflected the merger in the valuation of the Company's stock. This difference in these volatility factors for these five option grants is not material to these financial statements, therefore, no current adjustment to the volatility factors was made to these financial statements for these five option grants and we have decided to continue to use these factors for future expense recognition of options under SFAS #123R.    
 
c). Warrants

At September 30, 2007, there were 19,098,752 warrants outstanding.

Management believes that it is more likely than not that the forecasted taxable income will not be sufficient to utilize the tax carryforwards of approximately $29,178,933, before its expiration in 2012 to and 2027 to fully recover the asset. As a result, the amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable was reduced 100% by a valuation allowance. In the near term, if estimates of future taxable income are increased, such an increase will change the valuation allowance. The Company has no other deferred tax assets or liabilities. The Company will also be subject to limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 regarding the use of its net operating loss carryforwards in future tax years.

8.  Research Agreement
 
The Company has recently reached an agreement with Federal State Unitary Enterprise “Red Star”, a Russian government owned entity, on all terms of a contract whereby Thorium Power's seed and blanket fuel designs will undergo further irradiation testing with the goal of moving toward deployment within full-sized commercial reactors. The Company is also working on finalizing a Cooperative Research Agreement and a Joint Venture agreement with Red Star. These agreements are subject to approval by the Russian Federal Agency for Atomic Energy (RosAtom), which the Company expects to be completed during 2007 to early 2008.
 


9.  Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has employment agreements with its executive officers, the terms of which expire at various times. Such agreements provide for minimum compensation levels, as well as incentive bonuses that are payable if specified management goals are attained. Under each of the agreements, in the event the officer's employment is terminated (other than voluntarily by the officer or by the Company for cause or upon the death of the officer), the Company, if all provisions of the employment agreements are met, is committed to pay certain benefits, including specified monthly severance.

ITEM 2.
 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.

The following analysis discusses changes in the financial condition and results of operations of Thorium Power, Ltd. and it’s subsidiary, Thorium Power, Inc., at and for the nine months ended on September 30, 2007 and 2006, and should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.

General Overview

On October 6, 2006, we acquired Thorium Power, Inc. through a merger transaction. Thorium Power, Inc. has patented proprietary nuclear fuel designs for use in existing commercial nuclear power plants. The merger was accounted for as a reverse merger and Thorium Power, Inc. is being treated as the accounting acquirer.

As discussed in more detail below, in connection with the merger, we changed our line of business. This new line of business, which is now our only business line, is research and development of proprietary nuclear fuel designs for use in nuclear power plants. We began to shift our focus to this business in anticipation of the merger with Thorium Power, Inc. and, upon completion of the merger, this business is conducted through both Thorium Power, Inc. and the Company. Our historical business preceding the merger was mineral exploration which has been phased out completely.

We are a development stage company. We are primarily engaged in the development of proprietary nuclear fuel designs which we intend ultimately to introduce for sale into three markets: (1) nuclear fuel designs for use in commercial nuclear power plants, (2) nuclear fuel designs for reactor-grade plutonium disposition, and (3) nuclear fuel designs for weapons-grade plutonium disposition. These fuel designs are primarily for use in existing or future VVER-1000 light water reactors. We have also been conducting research and development relating to a variant of these nuclear fuel designs for use in existing pressurized water reactors (PWR).
 
Our future customers may include nuclear fuel fabricators and/or nuclear power plants, and/or the U.S. or foreign governments.
 
To date, our operations have been devoted primarily to the development and demonstration of our nuclear fuel designs, developing strategic relationships within and outside of the nuclear power industry, securing political and financial support from the U.S. and Russian governments, the filing of patent applications and related administrative functions. We do not currently have any revenues from our activities in this area and expect that we will not generate licensing revenues from this business for several years, until our fuel designs can be fully tested and demonstrated and we obtain the proper approvals to use our nuclear fuel designs in nuclear reactors. Future revenues could be generated through the licensing of our technology and also by providing other services in the nuclear power industry. Accordingly, we prepare our financial statements as a development stage company in accordance with FASB Statement No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.”
 

 
Material Opportunities and Challenges
 
We believe that a major opportunity for us is the possibility that our fuel designs, which are currently in the research and development stage, will be used in the manufacturing of nuclear fuel utilized in many existing light water nuclear reactors. Light water reactors are the dominant reactor types currently in use in the world and fuels for such reactors constitute the majority of the commercial market for nuclear fuel. Our focus is on three different types, or variants, of thorium fuel designs. The first is designed to provide reactor owner-operators with an economically viable alternative fuel that will not generate weapons-usable plutonium in the spent fuel. The second is designed to dispose of reactor-grade plutonium that has been extracted from spent fuel from commercial rectors and stockpiled in Russia, Western Europe, the U.S., Japan and other countries. The third is designed to dispose of weapons-grade plutonium that is stockpiled in Russia and the United States. All three of these fuel variants are expected to have additional benefits, including reduced volume and reduced long-term radio-toxicity of spent fuel for the same amount of electricity generated, as compared with the uranium fuels that are currently used in light water reactors and as compared with mixed oxide (MOX) fuel, a mixture of uranium oxide and recovered plutonium oxide which is a recycling technology used by a small number of nuclear power plants.
 
Our nuclear fuel designs have never been demonstrated in a full-size commercial reactor. Our planned demonstration of the fuels in a VVER-1000 reactor in Russia would provide operating experience that is critical to reactor owners and regulatory authorities. We believe that once the fuels have been demonstrated in the VVER-1000 reactor, this can help convince other light water reactor operators around the world to accept our thorium fuel designs.
 
We believe that our greatest challenge will be acceptance of these fuel designs by nuclear power plant operators, which have in the past been hesitant to be the first to use a new type of nuclear fuel. In addition, our fuel designs would require regulatory approval by relevant nuclear regulatory authorities, such as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in the United States or its equivalent agencies in other countries, before they can be used in commercial reactors. The regulatory review process, which is outside of our control, may take longer than expected and may delay a rollout of the fuel designs into the market. Management believes that demonstration of one of the Company’s fuel designs in a commercial nuclear reactor would make deployment of the other designs easier due to the many similarities that exist among all of our fuel designs.

Plan of Operation 

At September 30, 2007, our total assets were approximately $6,792,723 of which $6,470,292 was cash. Liabilities as of September 30, 2007 totaled approximately $534,005. We had working capital surplus of approximately $6,030,621 at September 30, 2007.

Management presently expects that our present working capital will meet our foreseeable working capital needs for the next 6 to 8 months from the date of this filing of the Form 10-QSB, depending on when we start the $5 million funding of our nuclear fuel designs, as mentioned below. Our current average monthly projected working capital requirements, excluding the $5 million of research and development expenses we expect to incur in Russia over the next 12-15 months, is approximately $500,000 per month (including approximately $100,000 per month for payroll and payroll-related fringe benefits). We will need to raise additional capital by way of an offering of equity securities, an offering of debt securities, or by obtaining financing through a bank or other entity sometime before the end of the second quarter of 2008 in order to insure we have the necessary working capital available to continue our operations throughout 2008. That financing, however, may not be available or we may not be able to obtain that financing on terms acceptable to us. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, there may be a significant dilution in the value of our outstanding common stock.
 

 
Over the next 12-15 months we expect to incur approximately $5 million in research and development expenses related to the development of our proprietary nuclear fuel designs. Of the $5 million, the cost of seed and blanket fuel fabrication equipment that would be purchased and used to fabricate trial seed and blanket fuel rods is expected to be approximately $2 million and the cost of nuclear materials used in fabrication of trial seed and blanket fuel rods is estimated at about $850,000. We expect to incur these expenses after we have reached a formal agreement with Russian nuclear entities that will grant us licensing and other rights to use such technologies or intellectual property developed by the Russian entities. Any such agreement would require formal review and approval by the Russian Federal Agency for Atomic Energy (RosAtom). We expect this agreement to be finalized and submitted for formal approval to RosAtom within the next several months and these research expenses to be in the range of approximately $1.5 million to $2.0 million for fiscal 2007 and the first several months of 2008, but it is possible that such expenses could be less or more than those amounts. We spent approximately $297,064 and $141,593 for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2007.

Over the next 3 years, we expect that our research and development activities will be primarily focused on testing and demonstration of our thorium/uranium and thorium/reactor-grade plutonium disposing fuel designs. The main objective of this research and development phase is to prepare for full-scale demonstration of our nuclear fuel technology in an operating commercial VVER-1000 reactor in Russia. Key research and development activities will include: (1) Scaling up the fuel fabrication process to full length (10 feet) rods used in commercial VVER-1000 reactors, (2) Validating thermal hydraulic performance of full size (10 feet) seed and blanket fuel assembly, (3) Performing post-irradiation examination of seed and blanket fuel samples that have been irradiated in a research reactor to confirm fuel performance, and (4) Obtaining final regulatory approvals for insertion of fuel in VVER-1000 commercial reactors. As this research and development program relates to commercial applications of our fuel technology and retaining ownership or control over as much key intellectual property as we possibly can is critical to the long-term success of our licensing business model, our plan is to fully fund these research and development activities ourselves. At the same time, we do not currently plan to fund research, testing and demonstration of our thorium/weapons-grade plutonium disposing fuel, which can only be used in the U.S.-Russia government-to-government weapons-grade plutonium disposition program and has no commercial applications. Hence, funding for any future research and development activities on this fuel design would have to be provided by the U.S. government or other stakeholders.

Additionally, we will be increasing our payroll and related fringe benefits costs as well as our consulting expenses for the remainder of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, as we have hired a permanent Chief Financial Officer and will be employing more people to add to our consulting team

Operating Activities:
 
Net cash used for operating activities was $4,457,072 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, which is an increase of $606,186 from the $3,850,886 net cash used for operating activities for the same period in 2006. This increase was mainly due to the increase in our operating expenses which resulted in an increase in our net loss for the period.
 
Investing Activities:
 
Net cash provided by investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $3,274, which is an increase of $20,899 from net cash used for investing activities of $17,625 in the same period of 2006, due to a decrease in the purchase of equipment and the acquisition of patents in 2006.
 
Financing Activities:
 
Net cash used by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 totaled $3,685 as compared to $3,924,397 provided by financing activities in the same period of 2006. This decrease of the cash provided by financing activities was mainly attributable to decrease in proceeds from the issuance of common stock of approximately $2.2 million and the decrease in the loans from related party (Thorium Power Ltd. to Thorium Power Inc. prior to the merger October 6, 2006) of approximately $1.8 million.
 

 
While management expects these proceeds will meet our foreseeable needs for the next 6-8 months, we will need to raise additional capital by way of an offering of equity securities, an offering of debt securities, or by obtaining financing through a bank or other entity. If we need to obtain additional financing, that financing may not be available or we may not be able to obtain that financing on terms acceptable to us. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, there may be a significant dilution in the value of our outstanding common stock.

 Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any 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 or capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to an investor in our securities.

Seasonality
 
Our business has not been subject to any material seasonal variations in operations, although this may change in the future.
 
Inflation
 
As a development stage company, our business, revenues and operating results have not been affected in any material way by inflation.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The SEC issued Financial Reporting Release No. 60, "Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure about Critical Accounting Policies" suggesting that companies provide additional disclosure and commentary on their most critical accounting policies. In Financial Reporting Release No. 60, the SEC has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of a company's financial condition and operating results, and require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, we have identified the following significant policies as critical to the understanding of our financial statements.
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make a variety of estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and (ii) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods covered by the financial statements.
 
Our management expects to make judgments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions affecting the future resolution of the uncertainties increase, these judgments become even more subjective and complex. Although we believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in estimates and assumptions based upon actual results may have a material impact on our results of operation and/or financial condition. We have identified certain accounting policies that we believe are most important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Commission on March 20, 2007, as amended on September 11, 2007.

 Deferred tax assets and liabilities
 
We will recognize the expected future tax benefit from deferred tax assets when the tax benefit is considered to be more likely than not of being realized. Assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets requires management to make significant estimates related to expectations of future taxable income. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecasted cash flows and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. To the extent that future cash flows and taxable income differ significantly from estimates, our ability to realize deferred tax assets could be impacted. Additionally, future changes in tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate could limit our ability to obtain the future tax benefits.


 
Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, Stock Options and Warrants Granted to Employees and Non-employees
 
We adopted the provisions of SFAS 123R, which requires the use of the fair value method of accounting for share-based compensation. Under the fair value based method, compensation cost related to employee stock options or similar equity instruments is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. SFAS 123R also requires measurement of cost of a liability-classified award based on its current fair value.  The fair value of the liability-classified award will be subsequently re-measured at each reporting date through the settlement date.  Change in fair value during the requisite service period will be recognized as compensation cost over that period.  We determine fair value using the Black-Scholes model. Under this model, certain assumptions, including the risk-free interest rate, the expected life of the options and the estimated fair value of our ordinary shares and the expected volatility, are required to determine the fair value of the options. If different assumptions had been used, the fair value of the options would have been different from the amount we computed and recorded, which would have resulted in either an increase or decrease in the compensation expense.  

The options were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used were as follows: volatility of 96% to 275%, a risk-free interest rate of 4.06% to 4.52%, dividend yield of 0% and an exercise term of one to five years. 

ITEM 3A(T).

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined by regulations of the SEC, means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules, regulations and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions to be made regarding required disclosure. Each of Seth Grae, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Larry Goldman, our Acting Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the design and operating effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2007. Based upon their evaluation, these executive officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of September 30, 2007, and were effective during the entire quarter ended September 30, 2007.

 Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. We also maintain internal control over financial reporting. The term “internal control over financial reporting,” as defined by regulations of the SEC, means a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting procedures in the U.S. (“GAAP”), and includes those policies and procedures that:

 
·
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
 
·
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
 
·
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There has been no change to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
