Item 1. Description of Business.
General
We are a “shell company” defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, since we have only conducted nominal operations and have only nominal assets.
During 2007, we were an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. We entered into a lease agreement with George J. Eliopulos effective March 31, 2006, granting us the exclusive right to explore, develop, and mine the property for gold, silver, copper and other valuable minerals. The property consisted of one unpatented mining claim located in section 12, Township 16 North, Range 20 East, Mt. Diablo Baseline & Meridian, Storey County, Nevada, USA, owned by Mr. Eliopulos.
On December 18, 2007, Erik Ulsteen entered into an agreement with Antony Claydon, our former President and a director and Rory Moss, a director, to purchase 1,500,000 and 250,000 shares of common stock, respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000. The transaction closed on February 14, 2008 at which time, Mr. Claydon resigned as President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary and Mr. Ulsteen was appointed President, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and director. On January 28, 2008, we terminated our lease agreement with Mr. Eliopulos.
We have redirected our focus towards identifying and pursuing options regarding the development of a new business plan and direction. We are exploring various business opportunities that have the potential to generate positive revenue, profits and cash flow in order to financially accommodate the costs of being a publicly held company. We will not restrict our search to any specific business, industry, or geographical location and it may participate in a business venture of virtually any kind or nature. Management anticipates that it will be able to participate in only one potential business venture because we have nominal assets and limited financial resources.
We were incorporated as a Nevada corporation on December 15, 2005. Our principal executive office is located at 5050 Avenida Encinas, Suite 270, Carlsbad, California 92008.
The following factors raise substantial doubt regarding the ability of our business to continue as a going concern: (i) the losses we have incurred since our inception; (ii) our failure to generate revenues since our inception; and (iii) our dependence on the sale of our equity securities and on the receipt of capital from outside sources to continue our operations. Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion regarding our business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty about our ability to continue in business. As such we may have to cease operations and you could lose your investment.
Patent and Trademarks
We currently do not own any patents, trademarks or licenses of any kind.
Government Regulations
There are no government approvals necessary to conduct our current business.
Employees
As of March 29, 2011 we have no employees other than Mr. Ulsteen.

The following plan of operation provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read along with our financial statements and notes thereto. The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results, expectations and plans discussed in these forward-looking statements.
Overview
We are a “shell company” defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, since we have only conducted nominal operations and have only nominal assets.
During 2007, we were an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. We entered into a lease agreement with George J. Eliopulos effective March 31, 2006, granting us the exclusive right to explore, develop, and mine the property for gold, silver, copper and other valuable minerals. The property consisted of one unpatented mining claim located in section 12, Township 16 North, Range 20 East, Mt. Diablo Baseline & Meridian, Storey County, Nevada, USA, owned by Mr. Eliopulos.
On December 18, 2007, Erik Ulsteen entered into an agreement with Antony Claydon, our former President and a director and Rory Moss, a director, to purchase 1,500,000 and 250,000 shares of common stock, respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000. The transaction closed on February 14, 2008 at which time, Mr. Claydon resigned as President, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary and Mr. Ulsteen was appointed President, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and director. On January 28, 2008, we terminated our lease agreement with Mr. Eliopulos.
The following factors raise substantial doubt regarding the ability of our business to continue as a going concern: (i) the losses we have incurred since our inception; (ii) our failure to generate revenues since our inception; and (iii) our dependence on the sale of our equity securities and on the receipt of capital from outside sources to continue our operations. Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion regarding our business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty about our ability to continue in business. As such we may have to cease operations and you could lose your investment.
Plan of Operation
We have redirected our focus towards identifying and pursuing options regarding the development of a new business plan and direction. We are exploring various business opportunities that have the potential to generate positive revenue, profits and cash flow in order to financially accommodate the costs of being a publicly held company.
We will not restrict our search for any specific kind of businesses, and we may acquire a business which is in its preliminary or development stage, which is already in operation, or in essentially any stage of its business life. It is impossible to predict the status of any business in which we may become engaged, in that such business may need to seek additional capital, may desire to have its shares publicly traded, or may seek other perceived advantages which we may offer.
In implementing a structure for a particular business acquisition, we may become a party to a merger, consolidation, reorganization, joint venture, or licensing agreement with another corporation or entity.
It is anticipated that any securities issued in any such business combination would be issued in reliance upon exemption from registration under applicable federal and state securities laws. In some circumstances, however, as a negotiated element of its transaction, we may agree to register all or a part of such securities immediately after the transaction is consummated or at specified times thereafter. If such registration occurs, it will be undertaken by the surviving entity after we have entered into an agreement for a business combination or has consummated a business
combination. The issuance of additional securities and their potential sale into any trading market which may develop in our securities may depress the market value of our securities in the future if such a market develops, of which there is no assurance.
We will participate in a business combination only after the negotiation and execution of appropriate agreements. Negotiations with a target company will likely focus on the percentage of our company which the target company shareholders would acquire in exchange for their shareholdings. Although the terms of such agreements cannot be predicted, generally such agreements will require certain representations and warranties of the parties thereto, will specify certain events of default, will detail the terms of closing and the conditions which must be satisfied by the parties prior to and after such closing and will include miscellaneous other terms. Any merger or acquisition effected by us can be expected to have a significant dilutive effect on the percentage of shares held by our shareholders at such time.
We expect that we will require additional funding in connection with our efforts towards identifying and pursuing options regarding the development of a new business plan and direction. We anticipate that such funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock or loans from our principal stockholder. However we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient funding to fund our operations or any work related to the development of a new business plan. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future financing.
On November 21, 2008, our board approved a forward split of our authorized common stock on a 10:1 basis whereby our authorized common stock increased to 750,000,000 shares from 75,000,000 shares. The board also approved a forward split of our issued and outstanding common stock on a 10:1 basis in the form of a stock dividend which was payable on December 12, 2008.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Our financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates which have been made using careful judgment.
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 certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management are, among others, realizability of long-lived assets, deferred taxes and stock option valuation.
The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within the reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting.
Income Taxes
We utilize SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. We
generated a deferred tax credit through net operating loss carryforward. However, a valuation allowance of 100% has been established, as the realization of the deferred tax credits is not reasonably certain, based on going concern considerations outlined as follows.
Going Concern
Our financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs and to allow us to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on us obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until we become profitable. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to cease operations.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to successfully accomplish our plan to develop a new business plan, or merger candidate in order to eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classifications or liabilities or other adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Development-Stage Company
We are considered a development-stage company, with limited operating revenues during the periods presented, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7. SFAS. No. 7 requires companies to report their operations, shareholders deficit and cash flows since inception through the date that revenues are generated from management’s intended operations, among other things. Management has defined inception as January 1, 2006. Since inception, we have incurred an operating loss of $281,707. Our working capital has been generated through sales of common stock. Management has provided financial data since January 1, 2006, “Inception” in the financial statements, as a means to provide readers of our financial information to make informed investment decisions.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS 128, Earnings Per Share for the period presented. Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilative convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby we used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
We had no potentially dilutive securities outstanding as of December 31, 2010.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant 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 our stockholders.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To: The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Kabe Exploration, Inc.
Carlsbad, California
I have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Kabe Exploration, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, and for the period from inception, (January 1, 2006), to December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kabe Exploration, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, and for the period from inception, (January 1, 2006) to December 31, 2010 in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has not yet commenced operations and has no revenue. This raises substantive doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor was I engaged to perform, an audit of the effectiveness of its documented internal controls over financial reporting.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates which have been made using careful judgment.

Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management are, among others, realizability of long-lived assets, deferred taxes and stock option valuation.
The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within the reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting.
Cash and equivalents
Cash and equivalents include investments with initial maturities of three months or less.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASC (Accounting Standards Codification) 820-10 (SFAS No. 157), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” for financial assets and liabilities. FASB ASC 820-10 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. FASB ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. FASB ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial liabilities as at September 30, 2010 were measured against the three levels of inputs required by the standard to measure fair value:
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company generated a deferred tax credit through net operating loss carryforward. However, a valuation allowance of 100% has been established, as the realization of the deferred tax credits is not reasonably certain, based on going concern considerations outlined in the following.
Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company incurred a net loss of $9,448 in the year ended December 31, 2010 and has a cumulative net loss of $281,707 since inception. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease development of operations.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish its plans to exploit or lease mining claims, or engage a working interest partner, in order to eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classifications or liabilities or other adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Development-Stage Company
The Company is considered a development-stage company, with limited operating revenues during the periods presented, as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board FASB Accounting Standards Codification ASC 915. ASC 915 requires companies to report their operations, shareholders deficit and cash flows since inception through the date that revenues are generated from management’s intended operations, among other things. Management has defined inception as January 1, 2006. Since inception, the Company has incurred an operating loss of $281,707. The Company’s working capital has been generated through the sales of common stock. Management has provided financial data since January 1, 2006, “Inception” in the financial statements, as a means to provide readers of the Company’s financial information to make informed investment decisions.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share for the period presented. Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilative convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby we used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
The Company has no potentially dilutive securities outstanding as of December 31, 2010.
The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On December 1, 2009 the Company adopted the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations”. ASC 805 establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer in a business combination (i) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired business; (ii) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and (iii) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The adoption of this statement had no effect on the Company’s reported financial position or results of operations.
On December 1, 2009, the Company adopted the newly ratified guidance which is part of ASC 815-40, “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”. ASC 815-40 provides guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The adoption of this statement had no effect on the Company’s reported financial position or results of operations.
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-17, “Revenue Recognition - Milestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition” (codified within ASC 605 - Revenue Recognition). ASU 2010-17 provides guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development transactions. ASU 2010-17 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this statement had no effect on the Company’s reported financial position or results of operations.
In March 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives” (codified within ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging). ASU 2010-11 improves disclosures originally required under SFAS No. 161. ASU 2010-11 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this statement had no effect on the Company’s reported financial position or results of operations.
In May 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-19 (ASU 2010-19), Foreign Currency (Topic 830): Foreign Currency Issues: Multiple Foreign Currency Exchange Rates. The amendments in this Update are effective as of the announcement date of March 18, 2010. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-19 to have any effect on the Company’s reported financial position or results of operations.

Erik Ulsteen. Mr. Ulsteen was appointed our President, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Director on February 14, 2008. Since 2004, Mr. Ulsteen has been Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Emission & Power Solutions, Inc. (formerly Fuel FX International, Inc.). From 2002 until 2004, Mr. Ulsteen was President of Fuel FX International, Inc. Mr. Ulsteen’s broad management experience qualifies him to serve on our board.
Stale Werner Nielsen. Mr. Nielsen was appointed a Director on March 20, 2008. Since 2003, Mr. Nielsen has been a Managing Director of Hoyer Industries AS which markets and distributes Evian water and Dannon yogurt products in Norway and Sweden. From 2000 to 2003, Mr. Nielsen was a Managing Director of Margarinfabrikken Norge AS. Mr. Nielsen’s background as a Managing Director and key member of management of large multinational companies qualifies him to serve on our board.
Bjorn Rene Singdahlsen. Mr. Singdahlsen was appointed a Director on March 20, 2008.

Term of Office
Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board.
Committees of the Board of Directors
We presently do not have an audit committee, compensation committee or nominating committee. Our board of directors does not believe that it is necessary to have such committees because it believes that the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the board of directors.
Our company does not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. The board of directors believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. Our company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the board of directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The board of directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.

We currently do not have a Chairman of the Board. Our President, Erik Ulsteen, calls meetings of the board. Currently our operations are limited and we believe that our current leadership structure allows the board to have better control of the direction of management, while still retaining independent oversight.
The board’s role in our risk oversight process includes receiving regular reports from members of management on areas of material risk to us, including operational, financial, legal and regulatory, and strategic risks. The full board receives these reports from management to enable it to understand our risk identification, risk management and risk mitigation strategies.
Family Relationships
No family relationships exist among our directors or executive officers.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
To our knowledge, during the past five years, none of our directors, executive officers, promoters, control persons, or nominees has been:
· the subject of any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
· convicted in a criminal proceeding or is subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);
· subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or
· found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law.
