PART I
 
 
Item 1.  Business.
 
Overview
 
Press Ventures, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on October 5, 2010.  The Company’s principal offices are located at 542 Syndicate Ave South, Thunder Bay, Canada, P7E 1E7. Our telephone number is (905) 362-9389.

The Company underwent a change in management and control effective June 18, 2012, whereby approximately 66% of the Company’s outstanding shares were sold in a private transaction by Caroline Johnston to Lynda Cambly. In connection therewith, Ms. Cambly replaced Mr. Johnston as President, Secretary/Treasurer and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

The Company is a mining exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Company is a mining exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Company has acquired a claim called Tara Property covering 462.22 hectares located in the Omineca Mining Division of British Columbia, Canada.  This property consists of one claim held by Mr. I.J. Boga (the “Trustee”) under Declaration of Trust dated October 7, 2010 in favor of the Company.  The Tara Property consists of one mineral claim and the property covers the Bull showings. We refer to this claim as the “Property” or the “Claim” throughout this Report.  We acquired the Property for the cost of $5,000. We have not yet commenced any exploration activities on the Claim other than completing a technical report.  We have not generated revenue from mining operations.
 
 
Page 3

 
 
To date, we have purchased the Claim and completed a technical report on the Claim. We have not yet commenced any exploration activities on the Claim other than completing a technical report. We plan to explore for minerals on the Property. The Property may not contain any mineral reserves and funds that we spend on exploration may be lost. Even if we complete our current exploration program and are successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we will be required to expend substantial funds to bring our claim to production. Ms. Cambly, our sole officer and director, has not personally visited the Property but is relying upon her discussions with the geologist and her recommendations based upon her expertise and experience in mining operations in Western Canada.
 
We received our initial funding of $22,000 through the private sale of common stock to the former sole officer and director who purchased 5,500,000 shares of our common stock at $0.004 per share. Our financial statements from inception (October 5, 2010) through October 31, 2012 report a accumulated deficit of $69,740. Our independent auditor has issued an audit opinion, which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
The Property may not contain any mineral reserves and funds that we spend on exploration may be lost. Even if we complete an initial exploration program and are successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we will be required to raise additional and substantial funds to bring our Claim to production.
 
 
Plan of Operation
 
About Our Company
 
We are a mining exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Company has staked a claim on certain property covering 462.22hectares located in the Omineca Mining Division of British Columbia, Canada.  The Claim is assigned Tenure Number 776842 and is recorded in the name of Iqbal Boga. The Claim is in good standing to May 20, 2013. This property consists of one claim held by Iqbal Boga (the “Trustee”) under Declaration of Trust in.favor of the Company.  We refer to this claim as the “Property” or the “Claim”. We are presently in the exploration stage at the Property.
 
There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on our claim. We do not have any current plans to acquire interests in additional mineral properties, although we may consider such acquisitions in the future.
 
Exploration Plan
 
In October 2010, we engaged John Ostler; M.Sc., P. Geo., an independent professional mining geologist, to assess the Property for mineral occurrences. The source of information contained in this discussion is our technical report that has been included as Exhibit 99.1 in our Form S-1 registration statement.
 
Mineral property exploration is typically conducted in phases. We have not yet commenced the initial phase of exploration on the Property; however, our consulting geologist recommends the exploration work based on the results from the most recent phase of technical and area review. Once we have completed each phase of exploration and analyzed the results, we will make a decision as to whether we will proceed with each successive phase. Our President will make this decision based upon the recommendations of John Ostler. Our goal in exploration of the Property is to ascertain whether it possesses economic quantities of polymetallic veins. We cannot assure you that any economical mineral deposits exist on the Property until appropriate exploration work is completed. Even if we complete our proposed exploration program on the Property and we are successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we will know if we have a commercially viable mineral deposit.
 
We do not intend to hire employees at this time. All of the work on the Property will be conducted by unaffiliated independent contractors that we will hire. The independent contractors will be responsible for surveying, geology, engineering, exploration, and excavation. The consulting geologists will evaluate the information derived from the exploration and excavation and the engineers will advise us on the economic feasibility of removing the mineralized material.
 
A two-phase exploration program is recommended. The first phase comprises geological mapping and prospecting. If reasonable encouragement is generated by the results of the first-phase program, it should be followed by a second-phase program of soil survey and possibly hand-trenching
 
The first phase would consist of geological mapping and prospecting. Geological mapping involves plotting previous exploration data relating to a property area on a map in order to determine the best property locations to conduct subsequent exploration work. Prospecting involves analyzing rocks on the property surface with a view to discovering indications of potential mineralization.
 
According to Mr. Ostler, the subdued topography of the northern part of the property area would make soil geochemical and geophysical surveys most useful during a subsequent phase of work. Also during a second phase of exploration, mineral showings that were discovered during the first phase of mapping and prospecting should be trenched and sampled.

If reasonable encouragement is generated by the results of the first-phase program, it should be followed by a second-phase program of soil survey and possibly hand-trenching.
 
We intend to have Mr. Ostler oversee the exploration of our Tara Property. As recommended by Mr. Ostler’s technical report, we intend to renew the Claim and commence the phase one program in May or June 2012 (due to winter weather conditions which start in early October) and expect that the program will take about one month to complete.
 
The first phase is estimated to cost $25,894.
 
After the completion of the exploration program and contingent upon favourable results from Phase 1, we will have our consulting geologist prepare a report discussing the results and conclusions of the program. If sufficient positive results are generated following the first phase, we will seek to raise additional financing to cover the costs of a second phase of exploration which is estimated to cost $109,608.
 
If we are unable to complete any phase of exploration because we don’t have enough money, we will cease activities until we raise more money. If we can’t or don’t raise more money, we will cease activities. If we cease activities, we have no plans for any other business activity.
 
Since we became a reporting company it is responsible for filing various forms with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) such as Form 10K and Form 10Qs.
 
The shareholders may read and copy any material filed by us with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street N.W., Washington, DC, 20549.   The shareholders may obtain information on the operations of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.   The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains information which we have filed electronically with the SEC by assessing the website using the following address:  http://www.sec.gov.   
 
Competition
 
We operate in a highly competitive industry, competing with other mining and exploration companies, and institutional and individual investors, which are actively seeking metal and mineral based exploration properties throughout the world together with the equipment, labour and materials required to exploit such properties. Many of our competitors have financial resources, staff and facilities substantially greater than ours. The principal area of competition is encountered in the financial ability to cost effectively acquire prime metal and minerals exploration prospects and then exploit such prospects. Competition for the acquisition of metal and minerals exploration properties is intense, with many properties available in a competitive bidding process in which we may lack technological information or expertise available to other bidders. Therefore, we may not be successful in acquiring and developing profitable properties in the face of this competition. No assurance can be given that a sufficient number of suitable metal and minerals exploration properties will be available for acquisition and development.
 
Mineral exploration regulations
 
Our minerals exploration activities  will be, subject to extensive foreign laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection and remediation of the environment, protection of endangered and protected species, mine safety, toxic substances and other matters. Minerals exploration is also subject to risks and liabilities associated with pollution of the environment and disposal of waste products occurring as a result of mineral exploration and production. Compliance with these laws and regulations may impose substantial costs on us and will subject us to significant potential liabilities. Changes in these regulations could require us to expend significant resources to comply with new laws or regulations or changes to current requirements and could have a material adverse effect on our business operations.
 
Exploration and production activities are subject to certain environmental regulations which may prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of our operations. In general, our exploration and production activities are subject to certain foreign regulations, and may be subject to foreign or federal, state and local laws and regulations, relating to environmental quality and pollution control. Such laws and regulations increase the costs of these activities and may prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of a given operation.
 
Minerals exploration operations are subject to comprehensive regulation which may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated causing an adverse effect on our business operations. Minerals exploration operations are subject to foreign, federal, state, and local laws relating to the protection of the environment, including laws regulating removal of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment. Minerals exploration operations are also subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the design and use of drilling methods and equipment. Various permits from government bodies are required for drilling operations to be conducted; no assurance can be given that such permits will be received. Environmental standards imposed by federal, state, or local authorities may be changed and any such changes may have material adverse effects on our activities. Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing an adverse effect on us. Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damages which we may elect not to insure against due to prohibitive premium costs and other reasons. As of the date of this Annual Report, we have not been required to spend any material amount on compliance with environmental regulations.

PART II
 
Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
 
As of October 31, 2012, our common stock is posted for trading on the OTCBB with the trading symbol PVEN.
 
As of October 31, 2012, the shareholders' list of our common shares showed 39 registered shareholders holding 8,300,000 shares; there are no shares held by broker-dealers. All 5,500,000 shares are owned by our officer and director, and may only be resold in compliance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933.
 
We listed our stock on the OTCBB. The OTCBB is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last sale prices and volume information in over-the-counter (OTC) securities. The OTCBB is not an issuer listing service, market or exchange. Although the OTCBB does not have any listing requirements per se, to be eligible for quotation on the OTCBB, issuers must remain current in their filings with the SEC or applicable regulatory authority. Market Makers are not permitted to begin quotation of a security whose issuer does not meet this filing requirement. Securities already quoted on the OTCBB that become delinquent in their required filings will be removed following a 30 or 60 day grace period if they do not make their required filing during that time.
 
Holders
 
As of October 31, 2012, 8,300,000 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding.  There are 39 holders of our common stock and each shareholder of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote.
 
Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Holders of our common stock representing a majority of the voting power of our capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of our stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation.
 
 
Page 6

 
 
Although there are no provisions in our charter or by-laws that may delay, defer or prevent a change in control, we are authorized, without shareholder approval, to issue shares of preferred stock that may contain rights or restrictions that could have this effect.
 
Holders of common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. Holders of our common stock have no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our common stock.
 
Dividends
 
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on its common stock. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be dependent upon then existing conditions, including our financial condition and results of operations, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, business prospects, and other factors that the board of directors considers relevant.
 
Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans
 
We do not have any equity compensation plans and accordingly we have no securities authorized for issuance hereunder.
 
Purchases of equity securities by the Issuer and affiliated purchasers
 
There were no shares of common stock or other securities issued to the issuer or affiliated purchasers during the year ended October 31, 2012.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The summarized financial data set forth in the table above is derived from and should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the period from inception (October 5, 2010) to fiscal year ended October 31, 2012, including the notes to those financial statements which are included in this Annual Report. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this Annual Report. Our audited financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
 
We are an exploration stage company and have not generated any revenue to date. The above table sets forth selected financial information for the periods indicated. We have incurred recurring losses to date. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation. We are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue exploration activities. For these reasons, there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
 
We expect we will require additional capital to meet our long term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through, among other things, the sale of equity or debt securities.
 
Results of Operations
 
We did not earn any revenues for the year ended October 31, 2012 and from inception on October 5, 2010 to October 31, 2012.
 
Our net loss for fiscal year ended October 31, 2012 was $26,907 compared to a net loss of $35,582 during fiscal year ended October 31, 2011, a decrease on loss of $8,675.
 
General and administrative expenses : We incurred $26,907 in comparison to $28,678 in the past year. For the period from inception to October 31, 2012, a total of $56,445 has been incurred.
 
Mineral property costs: We incurred $0 in comparison to $6,904 in the past year. For the period from inception to October 31, 2012, a total of $8,295 have been incurred.  This category will vary from year to year dependent on the exploration activities of the Company.
 
Research and development: We have not incurred any expenses for research and development since inception.
 
Compensation : No compensation costs were incurred since inception.
 
Income tax provision : As a result of operating losses, there has been no provision for the payment of income taxes from the date of inception.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As at October 31, 2012, we had a cash balance of $0.
 
We do not anticipate generating any revenue for the foreseeable future. If we experience a shortfall in operating capital, our director and her associates have verbally agreed to advance the Company to a maximum of $15,000.
 
When additional funds become required, the additional funding will come from equity financing from the sale of our common stock. If we are successful in completing an equity financing, existing shareholders will experience dilution of their interest in our company.
 
We do not have any financing arranged and we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund our exploration programs. In the absence of such financing, our business will fail.
 
Based on the nature of our business, we anticipate incurring operating losses in the foreseeable future. We base this expectation, in part, on the fact that very few mineral claims in the exploration stage ultimately develop into producing, profitable mines. Our future financial results are also uncertain due to a number of factors, some of which are outside our control. These factors include, but are not limited to:
 
·  
our ability to raise additional funding;
·  
the results of our proposed exploration programs on the mineral property; and
·  
our ability to find joint venture partners for the development of our property interests
 
 
Page 8

 
 
Due to our lack of operating history and present inability to generate revenues, our auditors have stated their opinion that there currently exists a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Even if we complete our current exploration program, and it is successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we will know if we have a commercially viable mineral deposit or reserve.
 
The detailed analysis of the risk factors is disclosed our Company’s registration statement Form S-1 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Future Financings
 
We will require additional financing in order to enable us to proceed with our plan of operations, as discussed above. Accordingly, we will require additional financing in order to continue operations. 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 not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due. We are pursuing various alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements.
 
We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock in order to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our planned business activities.
 
We presently do not have any arrangements for additional financing and no potential lines of credit or sources of financing are currently available for the purpose of proceeding with our plan of operations.
 
Contractual Obligations
 
As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations.
 
Going Concern Consideration
 
The report of our independent registered public accounting firm raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern based on the absence of an established source of revenue, recurring losses from operations, and our need for additional financing in order to fund our operations in 2013.  
 
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.
 
Forward Looking Statements
 
The information in this quarterly report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding the Company’s capital needs, business strategy and expectations. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. Actual events or results may differ materially. In evaluating these statements, you should consider various factors, including the risks outlined from time to time, in other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement. We disclaim any obligation to publicly update these statements, or disclose any difference between its actual results and those reflected in these statements. The information constitutes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
 
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
 
As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
 
 
We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities. Because most of our purchases and sales will made in Indian rupees, any exchange rate change affecting the value of the in Indian rupee relative to the U.S. dollar could have an effect on our financial results as reported in U.S. dollars. If the in Indian rupee were to depreciate against the U.S. dollar, amounts reported in U.S. dollars would be correspondingly reduced. If the in Indian rupee were to appreciate against the U.S. dollar, amounts reported in U.S. dollars would be correspondingly increased.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
 
Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
 
The Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm issued by  LBB & Associates Ltd., LLP for the audited financial statements for the years ended October 31, 2012 and 2011 and the periods from October 5, 2010 (inception) through October 31, 2012 is included herein immediately preceding the audited financial statements.
 
Our audited financial statements are included following the signature page to this Form 10K.
 
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(T). 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 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
 
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of a control system are met. Further, any control system reflects limitations on resources and the benefits of a control system must be considered relative to its costs. These limitations also include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of a control. A design of a control system is also based upon certain assumptions about potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.
 
As of October 31, 2012, the year end period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
 
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Management has employed a framework consistent with Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(c), to evaluate internal control over financial reporting described below. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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.
 
Management conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2012. As a result of this assessment, management concluded that, as of October 31, 2012, our internal control over financial reporting was effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
 
Page 10

 
 
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparations and presentations. Also, 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.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
 
There were no changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the evaluation date.

The following individuals serve as the director and executive officer of our company as of the date of this annual report. All directors of our company hold office until the next annual meeting of our shareholders or until their successors have been elected and qualified. The executive officers of our company are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until their death, resignation or removal from office. The ages, positions held, and duration of terms of sole director and executive officer is as follows
 
 Name
Age
Position
Lynda Cambly
51
President, Secretary/Treasurer, Chief Executive Officer and sole member of the Board of Directors.
 
The person named above has held her offices/positions since the inception of our Company and is expected to hold her offices/positions until the next annual meeting of our stockholders.
 
Biographical Information
 
Set forth below is a brief description of the background and business experience of our sole executive officer and director:
 
Lynda Cambly has been the President of the Company since June 18, 2012. Ms. Cambly has held positions in marketing and public relations in a variety of corporate sectors during the course of her career. Ms. Cambly worked in management with a timber company where she performed a broad range of duties which included scheduling projects and analyzing results.
 
During the past ten years, Ms. Cambly has not been the subject of the following events:
 
1. Any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which Ms. Cambly was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time.
 
2. Any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding.
 
3. An order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, or any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting Ms. Cambly’s involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities.
 
4. Found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodity Future Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.
 
Term of Office
 
Our directors are appointed for one-year terms to hold office until the next annual meeting of our stockholders or until removed from office in accordance with our By-Laws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board.
 
 
Page 11

 
 
Board Composition
 
Our Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors shall consist of at least one but not more than nine members as fixed from time to time by action of the Board of Directors. Each director serves for a term that expires until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until her successor shall have been elected and qualified, or until her earlier resignation, removal from office, or death.
 
Committees of the Board of Directors
 
We do not presently have a separately constituted audit committee, compensation committee, nominating committee, executive committee or any other committees of our Board of Directors, nor do we have an audit committee “financial expert.” As such, our entire Board of Directors acts as our audit committee and handles matters related to compensation and nominations of directors.
 
Potential Conflicts of Interest
 
Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our sole director, who is also our sole executive officer. Thus, there is an inherent conflict of interest.
 
Director Independence
 
As of the date of this Statement filed on Form 10K, we have no independent directors.
 
Our determination of independence of directors is made using the definition of “independent director” defined under NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2) and by the regulations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. However, we are not at this time required to have our Board comprised of a majority of “independent directors” because we are not subject to the listing requirements of any national securities exchange or national securities association.
 
The Board shall undertake an annual review of the independence of all non-management Directors. To enable the Board to evaluate each non-management Director, in advance of the meeting at which the review occurs, each non-management Director shall provide the Board with full information regarding the Director’s business and other relationships with the Company, its affiliates and senior management.
 
Directors must inform the Board whenever there are any material changes in their circumstances or relationships that could affect their independence, including all business relationships between a Director and the Company, its affiliates, or members of senior management, whether or not such business relationships would be deemed not to be material under any of the categorical standards set forth above. Following the receipt of such information, the Board shall re-evaluate the Director's independence.
 
Stockholder Communications with the Board
 
We have not implemented a formal policy or procedure by which our stockholders can communicate directly with our Board of Directors. Nevertheless, every effort will be made to ensure that the views of stockholders are heard by the Board of Directors and that appropriate responses are provided to stockholders in a timely manner. During the upcoming year, our Board will continue to monitor whether it would be appropriate to adopt such a process.
 
Significant Employees
 
We have no significant employees other than the sole executive officer described above.
 
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
 
No director, person nominated to become a director, executive officer, promoter or control person of our company has, during the last five years: (i) been convicted in or is currently subject to a pending a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to any federal or state securities or banking or commodities laws including, without limitation, in any way limiting involvement in any business activity, or finding any violation with respect to such law, nor (iii) any bankruptcy petition been filed by or against the business of which such person was an executive officer or a general partner, whether at the time of the bankruptcy or for the two years prior thereto.
 
Stockholder Communications with the Board
 
We have not implemented a formal policy or procedure by which our stockholders can communicate directly with our Board of Director. Nevertheless, every effort will be made to ensure that the views of stockholders are heard by the Board of Director and that appropriate responses are provided to stockholders in a timely manner. During the upcoming year, our Board will continue to monitor whether it would be appropriate to adopt such a process.
 
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of our common stock and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file.
 
 
Page 12

 
 
Code of Ethics
 
We have adopted a formal written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Compliance Program for all officers, directors and senior employees.
 
Our Code of Ethical Conduct is designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
§  
Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
§  
Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file or submit to the Securities & Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by us;
§  
Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
§  
The prompt internal reporting to an appropriate person or persons identified in the code of violations of our Code of Ethical Conduct; and Accountability for adherence to the Code.
 
Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert Disclosure
 
The Company’s Board of Director does not have a separately designated audit committee or an “audit committee financial expert.” Audit committee functions are performed by our Board of Director. Our sole director is not deemed independent. Our sole director also holds the position as our officer.
 
An audit committee is responsible for: (1) selection and oversight of our independent accountant; (2) establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal controls, and auditing matters; (3) establishing procedures for the confidential, anonymous submission by our employees of concerns regarding accounting and auditing matters; (4) engaging outside advisors; and, (5) funding for the outside auditory and any outside advisors engagement by the audit committee.
 
We do not have an audit committee financial expert at this time due to the fact that the Company has only limited operations and no revenues.  We believe the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. Further, because of our limited operations, we believe the services of a financial expert are not warranted.
 
Item 11. Executive Compensation

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 


To the Board of Directors of
Press Ventures, Inc. (An Exploration Stage Company)
Thunder Bay, Canada

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Press Ventures, Inc. (the “Company”) as of October 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity(deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended and period from October 5, 2010 (inception) through October 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Press Ventures, Inc. as of October 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended and for the period from October 5, 2010 (inception) through October 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company's absence of significant revenues, losses from operations, and its need for additional financing in order to fund its projected loss in 2013 raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The 2012 financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to the Financial Statements
October 31, 2012
 

1.    NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
 
Press Ventures, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 5, 2010 and is a start-up, exploration stage company. The Company has acquired mineral properties located in the Province of British Columbia, Canada, but has not yet determined whether these properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of costs incurred for acquisition and exploration of the properties will be dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company’s interest in the underlying properties, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to satisfy the expenditure requirements and to complete the development of the properties and upon future profitable production or proceeds from the sale thereof.
 
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred a loss since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $69,740 as at October 31, 2012 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business, raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand and loans from directors and or private placement of common stock.  
 
2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.
 
Exploration Stage Company
 
The Company is an “exploration stage company” and is devoting its resources to establishing the new business, and its planned operations have not yet commenced, accordingly, no revenues have been earned during the period from October 5, 2010 (date of inception) to October 31, 2012.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original purchase maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
 
Foreign Currency Translation
 
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Occasional transactions may occur in Canadian dollars. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Average monthly rates are used to translate expenses. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of net income (loss). The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
 
 
Page 23

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions
 
 
The preparation of 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Due to the limited level of operations, the Company has not had to make material assumptions or estimates other than the assumption that the Company is a going concern.
 
Mineral Exploration Costs
 
The Company capitalizes mineral property acquisition costs and evaluates such assets for impairment on periodic basis.
 
When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property are capitalized. The capitalized costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve.
 
The beneficial owner holds the right to the claims which give him or her designated agent the right to mine and recover all of the metals contained within the surface boundaries of the lease vertically downward. In the event she were to grant another deed which is subsequently registered prior to the Company’s deed, the third party would obtain good title and the Company would have nothing.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amounts of cash and current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. These fair value estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
 
Environmental Costs
 
Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or the Company’s commitments to plan of action based on the then known facts.
 
Income Taxes
 
A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
 
Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
 
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options and warrants using the treasury method. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Stock-based Compensation
 
The Company records stock-based compensation is computed  using the fair value method of valuing stock options and other equity-based compensation issued. The Company has not granted any stock options since its inception. Accordingly, no stock-based compensation has been recorded.
 
Start-up expenses
 
As a start-up company, the costs associated with start-up activities are expensed as incurred.
 
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company reviews long-lived assets for indicators of impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If the review indicates that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable, the potential impairment is measured based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate that is considered to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the Company’s current business model. For purposes of recognition and measurement of an impairment loss, a long-lived asset is grouped with other assets at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets.
 
Business Segments
 
The Company operates in one segment and therefore segments information is not presented.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
During the year ended October 31, 2012 and subsequently, the FASB has issued a number of financial accounting standards, none of which did or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
 
3.    CAPITAL STOCK
 
The total number of common shares authorized that may be issued by the Company is 100,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.001 per share.
 
During the year ended October 31, 2010, the Company issued 5,500,000 shares of common stock for total proceeds of $22,000. No common shares were issued during the year ended October 31, 2011.
 
During the year ended October 31, 2012, the Company issued 2,800,000 shares of common stock for total proceeds of $28,000.
 
At October 31, 2012, there were no outstanding stock options or warrants.
 
The Company underwent a change in management and control effective June 18, 2012, whereby approximately 66% of the Company’s outstanding shares were sold in a private transaction by Caroline Johnston to Lynda Cambly.  In connection therewith, Ms. Cambly replaced Ms. Johnston as President, Secretary/Treasurer and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
 
4.    INCOME TAXES
 
As of October 31, 2012, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $70,000 that may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income 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.

The components of the deferred tax asset, the statutory tax rate, the effective tax rate and the elected amount of the valuation allowance are indicated below (rounded to 000’s):

The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 34% of significant items comprising the net deferred tax amount is:

  Less, valuation allowance
    (23,000 )     (14,000 )
Net deferred tax assets
  $ -     $ -  

The Company has provided a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets given that it is in the exploration stage and there is substantial uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to realize future tax benefits through utilization of operating loss carry forwards. The difference between the statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate results from the valuation allowance recorded during the period ending October 31, 2012.
 
5.    RELATED PARTIES ADVANCES PAYABLE
 
As at October 31, 2012 the Company owed $19,740 to associates of the Company’s previous management, $15,740 of which was advanced during the year ended October 31, 2012.  These advances are unsecured, payable on demand and non-interest bearing.
