(the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on 5 December 2003.  On 4 March 2008, the Company completed a merger with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Silverstar Mining Corp., which was incorporated by the Company solely to effect the name change of the Company to Silverstar Mining Corp.  The Company was incorporated for the purpose to promote and carry on any lawful business for which a corporation may be incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Silverdale Mining Corp. (“Silverdale”) from 24 July 2008, the date of acquisition.

The Company is a development stage enterprise, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 7. The Company is devoting all of its present efforts in securing and establishing a new business, and its planned principle operations have not commenced, and, accordingly, no revenue has been derived during the organization period.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to development stage enterprises, and are expressed in U.S. dollars.  The Company’s fiscal year end is 30 September.

Theses consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2011 and for the three month period then ended have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  The Company has a loss of $26,846 (2010 - $12,604, cumulative - $1,564,571) and has working capital deficit of $130,550 at 31 December 2011 (30 September 2011 - $149,704).

Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive, or raise additional debt and/or equity capital.  Management believes that the Company’s capital resources should be adequate to continue operating and maintaining its business strategy during the fiscal year ending 30 September 2012.  However, if the Company is unable to raise additional capital in the near future, due to the Company’s liquidity problems, management expects that the Company will need to curtail operations, liquidate assets, seek additional capital on less favorable terms and/or pursue other remedial measures.  These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

At 31 December 2011, the Company had suffered losses from development stage activities to date. Although management is currently attempting to implement its business plan, and is seeking additional sources of equity or debt financing, there is no assurance these activities will be successful. Accordingly, the Company must rely on its president to perform essential functions without compensation until a business operation can be commenced.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.
 
Principles of consolidation
 
All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in these consolidated financial statements.
 
Cash and cash equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
 
Mineral property costs
 
The Company has been in the development stage since its formation on 5 December 2003 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations.  It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties.
 
Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized as tangible assets when purchased.  At the end of each fiscal quarter end, the Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment.  If proven and probable reserves are established for a property and it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed, costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve.
 
Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred.
 
Estimated future removal and site restoration costs, when determinable are provided over the life of proven reserves on a units-of-production basis.  Costs, which include production equipment removal and environmental remediation, are estimated each period by management based on current regulations, actual expenses incurred, and technology and industry standards.  Any charge is included in exploration expense or the provision for depletion and depreciation during the period and the actual restoration expenditures are charged to the accumulated provision amounts as incurred.

As of the date of these consolidated financial statements, the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties and incurred only acquisition and exploration costs (Note 5).

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, according to the usual industry standards for the stage of exploration of such properties, 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.
 
Reclamation costs
 
The Company’s policy for recording reclamation costs is to record a liability for the estimated costs to reclaim mined land by recording charges to production costs for each tonne of ore mined over the life of the mine.  The amount charged is based on management’s estimation of reclamation costs to be incurred.  The accrued liability is reduced as reclamation expenditures are made.  Certain reclamation work is performed concurrently with mining and these expenditures are charged to operations at that time.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

    Long-lived assets

Long-term assets of the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable, pursuant to guidance established in ASC 360-10-35-15, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.
 
Management considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations (undiscounted and without interest charges). If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets will be written down to fair value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis
 
Financial instruments
 
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and convertible debentures approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.  The Company’s operations are in Nevada and virtually all of its assets and liabilities are giving rise to significant exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates.  The Company’s financial risk is the risk that arises from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates.  Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.
 
Derivative financial instruments
 
The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. The Company has derivative obligations through conversion features of some of it’s note, however such amounts were considered immaterial and not recorded.
 
Website development costs

The costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use, during the preliminary project phase, as defined under ASC 350-40, “Internal-Use Software”, will be expensed as incurred.  The costs of website development during the planning stage, as defined under ASC 350-50, “Website Development Costs”, will also be expensed as incurred.

Computer software, website development incurred during the application and infrastructure development stage, including external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing the software and creating graphics and website content, will be capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life, beginning when the software is ready for use and after all substantial testing is completed and the website is operational.
 
Income taxes
 
Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the consolidated financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax loss and credit carry-forwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards when realization is more likely than not.
 
Basic and diluted net loss per share
 
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”.  SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the consolidated income statement.  Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period.  Diluted EPS gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method.  In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants.  Diluted EPS excludes all potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
 
Comprehensive loss
 
SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements.  As at 30 June 2009, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the consolidated financial statements.
 
Segments of an enterprise and related information
 
 
SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, supersedes SFAS No. 14, “Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise.”  SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way that public companies report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim financial statements issued to the public.  It also establishes standards for disclosures regarding products and services, geographic areas and major customers.  SFAS No. 131 defines operating segments as components of a company about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.  The Company has evaluated this SFAS and does not believe it is applicable at this time.
 
Start-up expenses
 
The Company has adopted Statement of Position No. 98-5, “Reporting the Costs of Start-up Activities”, which requires that costs associated with start-up activities be expensed as incurred.  Accordingly, start-up costs associated with the Company’s formation have been included in the Company’s general and administrative expenses for the period from the date of inception on 5 December 2003 to 30 June 2009.
 
 
 
Foreign currency translation
 
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is in U.S. dollars.  The consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated to U.S. dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”.  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date.  Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.  The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.

Use of estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Comparative figures

Certain comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to the current year’s presentation.
 
Changes in Accounting Policy

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-02, “Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary - a Scope Clarification”. ASU No. 2010-02 addresses implementation issues related to the changes in ownership provisions in the Consolidation - Overall Subtopic (Subtopic 810-10) of the FASB ASC, originally issued as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”. Subtopic 810-10 establishes the accounting and reporting guidance for non-controlling interests and changes in ownership interests of a subsidiary. An entity is required to deconsolidate a subsidiary when the entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in the subsidiary. Upon deconsolidation of a subsidiary, an entity recognizes a gain or loss on the transaction and measures any retained investment in the subsidiary at fair value. The gain or loss includes any gain or loss associated with the difference between the fair value of the retained investment in the subsidiary and its carrying amount at the date the subsidiary is deconsolidated. In contrast, an entity is required to account for a decrease in ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a change of control of the subsidiary as an equity transaction. ASU No. 2010-02 was effective for the Company starting 1 January 2010. The Company’s adoption of ASU No. 2010-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-01, “Equity (ASC Topic 505): Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash”, which clarifies that the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allow them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential limitation on the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected prospectively in earnings per share and is not considered a stock dividend for purposes of ASC Topic 505 and ASC Topic 260. ASU No. 2010-01 was effective for the Company starting 1 January 2010. The adoption of the ASU No. 2010-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure (Topic 820) – Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value”, which provides valuation techniques to measure fair value in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available.  The guidance provided in this update is effective 1 October 2009.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”.  SFAS No. 167, which amends ASC 810-10, “Consolidation”, prescribes a qualitative model for identifying whether a company has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and eliminates the quantitative model.  The new model identifies two primary characteristics of a controlling financial interest: (1) provides a company with the power to direct significant activities of the VIE, and (2) obligates a company to absorb losses of and/or provides rights to receive benefits from the VIE.  SFAS No. 167 requires a company to reassess on an ongoing basis whether it holds a controlling financial interest in a VIE.  A company that holds a controlling financial interest is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE and is required to consolidate the VIE.  SFAS No. 167, which is referenced in ASC 105-10-65, has not yet been adopted into the Codification and remains authoritative.  SFAS No. 167 was effective 1 January 2010.  The adoption of SFAS No. 167 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfer of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement”.  SFAS No. 166 removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity from ASC 860-10, “Transfers and Servicing”, and removes the exception from applying ASC 810-10, “Consolidation”. This statement also clarifies the requirements for isolation and limitations on portions of financial assets that are eligible for sale accounting.  SFAS No. 166, which is referenced in ASC 105-10-65, has not yet been adopted into the Codification and remains authoritative.  This statement was effective 1 January 2010.  The adoption of SFAS No. 166 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In April 2008, the FASB issued new guidance for determining the useful life of an intangible asset, which is now part of ASC 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other”.  In determining the useful life of intangible assets, ASC 350 removes the requirement to consider whether an intangible asset can be renewed without substantial cost of material modifications to the existing terms and conditions and, instead, requires an entity to consider its own historical experience in renewing similar arrangements.  ASC 350 also requires expanded disclosure related to the determination of intangible asset useful lives.  The new guidance was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2008.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recent accounting pronouncements
 
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives”. ASU No. 2010-11 clarifies the type of embedded credit derivative that is exempt from embedded derivative bifurcation requirements. Specifically, only one form of embedded credit derivative qualifies for the exemption – one that is related only to the subordination of one financial instrument to another. As a result, entities that have contracts containing an embedded credit derivative feature in a form other than such subordination may need to separately account for the embedded credit derivative feature. The amendments in ASU No. 2010-11 are effective for each reporting entity at the beginning of its first fiscal quarter beginning after 15 June 2010. Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of each entity’s first fiscal quarter beginning after 5 March 2010. The adoption of ASC No. 2010-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09, “Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements”, which eliminates the requirement for Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filers to disclose the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events.  ASU No. 2010-09 is effective for its fiscal quarter beginning after 15 December 2010.  The adoption of ASU No. 2010-09 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASC No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosure and Fair Value Measurements”, which requires that purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements for Level 3 measurements be disclosed.  ASU No. 2010-06 is effective for its fiscal quarter beginning after 15 December 2010.  The adoption of ASU No. 2010-06 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3.  
Acquisition
 
In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method of accounting, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated fair values. Goodwill is recorded to the extent the purchase price consideration, including certain acquisition and closing costs, exceeds the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired at the date of the acquisition.
 
On 24 July 2008, the Company acquired Silverdale. The aggregate consideration paid by the Company was $791,860 of which $141,760 was paid in cash, and the Company issued 4,334,000 common shares of the Company valued at $650,100 to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Silverdale (Notes 3, 5 and 11). Silverdale was acquired pursuant to a Stock Exchange Agreement with Silverdale and the former shareholders of Silverdale dated 13 June 2008.  The acquisition of Silverdale expanded the Company’s business of acquiring and exploring mineral properties.
 
A valuation of certain assets was completed and the Company internally determined the fair value of other assets and liabilities.  In determining the fair value of acquired assets, standard valuation techniques were used including the market and income approach.

The purchase price allocation has been determined as follows:

    $    
Assets purchased:
       
Cash and cash equivalents

Mineral Property Costs

Rose Prospect Lode Mining Claim

During the year ended 30 September 2006, the Company acquired an interest in a mineral claim located in Clark County, Nevada (the “Rose Prospect Lode Mining Claim”) for $6,375. In May 2006, the Company commissioned a geological evaluation report of the Rose Prospect Lode Mining Claim and in June 2006, the Company commissioned a Phase I work program as recommended by the evaluation report.  During the Phase I work program, the Company staked a second claim adjacent to the west of the Rose Lode Claim to cover other indicated mineralized zones observed in that area (the “Rose Prospect II Lode Mining Claim”).  The acquisition cost of $6,375 was initially capitalized as a tangible asset.

Expenditures related to the Rose Prospect Lode Mining Claim property for the quarter ended 31 December 2011 were $Nil (2010 - $Nil).

During the year ended 30 September 2006, the Company recorded a write-down of mineral property acquisition costs of $6,375 related to the Rose Prospect Lode Mining Claim.

Management has considered these factors in reaching its conclusion as to the valuation allowance for financial reporting purposes.

Forward-Looking Statements
 
This quarterly 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 unaudited consolidated financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly 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.
 
In this quarterly report all references to "common shares" refer to the common shares in our capital stock.
 
As used in this quarterly report and unless otherwise indicated, the terms "we", "us", "our", “Company”, and “Silverstar” mean Silverstar Mining Corp., a Nevada corporation.
 
Overview

On May 16, 2011 our recently formed, wholly owned subsidiary, Silverstar Mining Canada, Inc., (“SMCI”) acquired three mining claims encompassing approximately 1,006 hectares in British Columbia, Canada.  In consideration for the transfer of the mining claims, we paid the transferor $10,000 and we are required to issue the transferor two million shares of our common stock.

The mineral claims are located in the Caribou Mining District in east-central British Columbia, Canada.

PROPERTY LOCATION AND ACCESS

There is a growing infrastructure in the region as more of its resources are being exploited by various sized peers and competitors in the area.  

The SMCI mineral tenures are located within 65 km northeast of Quesnel, British Columbia, in an area that in part has been logged and re-planted.  Access is by forestry road to the vicinity of the Willow River: the tenures lie both east and west of that river. The bridge across Willow River is located approximately 1250 metres upstream from the south boundary and a logging branch road follows the east side of Willow River.  The total area is 1006 hectares.

We have not conducted any feasibility studies on the mining claims.  However, contiguous and other properties in the immediate vicinity indicate deposits of gold, silver and copper.

In order to determine the commercial viability of the mining claims and commence operations,  a team of professionals is to be assembled to obtain further   detail of potential yield.  Independent consultants estimate that a work program should be done on its major fault structure and could be implemented for up to $150,000.  Initial work would be studying historical information on the area, the trend line and sampling.  The sampling analysis will direct management on subsequent investment of resources.  The sampling program can be achieved with a projected investment of $25,000 up to $75,000 depending on the success of early stage sampling and the amount of samples ultimately taken and evaluated.  A drilling program is estimated to cost roughly $500,000.
 
Employees
 
Neil Kleinman serves as our sole officer, director and employee. We presently conduct our business through agreements with consultants and arms-length third parties.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
 
 
Not applicable.
 

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
 
(a)           Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer,   evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) and determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The evaluation considered the procedures designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Our internal control over financial reporting is not effective due to the following:

Neil Kleinman serves as our sole officer and director.  As such there is no segregation of functions, duties and responsibilities with respect to our cash and control over the disbursements related thereto.

We do not believe that this weakness has had any impact on our financial reporting and the control environment. Our management does not have any current plans to remediate the weakness as we believe in order to remediate the weakness we will need to raise capital hire additional accounting personal. We believe the cost to hire additional accounting personal will be approximately $30,000 per year.

 Accordingly, management believes, based on its knowledge, that (1) this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material face necessary to make the statements made not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report, and (2) the financial statements, and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the years and periods then ended
 
(b)           Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
During the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(d) and 13d-15(d) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
(c)           Inherent Limitations of Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation or effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
