Name of Registrant as Specified in Charter.

Explanation of Change for Results of Operation

For the Six Months Period Ended June 30, 2012 and for the period from April 28, 2011 (inception) to June 30, 2011

It is anticipated that a significant change in results of operations Six Months Period Ended June 30, 2012 from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the Form 10-Q. The registrant anticipates its results of operations to reflect an increase in operating expenses from approximately $1,500 for the period from April 28, 2011 (inception) to June 30, 2011 to approximately $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The overall increase of approximately $3.3 million in operating costs is primarily attributable to having no comparable operating expenses during the prior period from April 28, 2011 (inception) to June 30, 2011, as the registrant was in the early stages of its operations. The increase is also primarily attributable to stock based compensation of approximately $831,000 and stock based consulting fees of $1.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012. Further, the registrant has recognized losses from discontinued operation of approximately $6.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012, which is primarily attributable to the recognition of impairment charges in connection with its uranium mineral rights. In June 2012, the registrant decided to discontinue its exploration and potential development of uranium and vanadium minerals and it will focus its activities exclusively on its new business segment, which is the business of acquiring, renovating, and selling real estate properties.
