GENERAL INFORMATION

Corporate Overview

On February 5, 2004, Articles of Merger were filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada. We held our last Annual General Meeting on May 21, 2007.

On March 22, 2007, we incorporated a wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary for the sole purpose of effecting a name change of our company through a merger with our subsidiary. On April 6, 2007, we merged our subsidiary with and into our company, with our company carrying on as the surviving corporation under the name Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. Our name change was effected with NASDAQ on April 16, 2007 and our ticker symbol on the OTC Bulletin Board was changed to “LBSU”.

We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in the State of Alaska through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Big Chunk Corp. We also have mineral exploration properties in the State of Arizona.

Annual Report

Our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended January 31, 2008 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended October 31, 2008 are enclosed with this proxy statement.

Who Can Vote

You are entitled to vote if you were a holder of record of shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) as of the close of business on April 9, 2009 .2009. Your shares can be voted at the Meeting only if you are present in person or represented by a valid proxy.

Shares Outstanding and Quorum

Holders of record of Common Stock at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Meeting. At the Meeting, each of the shares of Common Stock represented will be entitled to one (1) vote on each matter properly brought before the Meeting. As of the April 9, 2009 record date, there were <> 193,946,706 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.


- 2 -

In order to carry on the business of the Meeting, we must have a quorum. Under our bylaws, stockholders representing a majority of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote, either present in person or by proxy, constitute a quorum.

Proxy Card and Revocation of Proxy

In voting, please specify your choices by marking the appropriate spaces on the enclosed proxy card, signing and dating the proxy card and returning it in the accompanying envelope. If no directions are given and the signed proxy is returned, the proxy holders will vote the shares in favor of Proposals 1 and 2 and, at their discretion, on any other matters that may properly come before the Meeting. The Board knows of no other business that will be presented for consideration at the Meeting. In addition, since no stockholder proposals or nominations were received by us on a timely basis, no such matters may be brought at the Meeting.

Any stockholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke the proxy at any time before the proxy is voted. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked by an instrument in writing executed by the stockholder or by his attorney authorized in writing, or, if the stockholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized, and deposited at the offices of our transfer agent, The Nevada Agency and Transfer Company, , 50 West Liberty Street, Suite 880, Reno, NV 89501, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or with the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting. Attendance at the Meeting will not in and of itself constitute revocation of a proxy.

Voting of Shares

Stockholders of record on the April 9, 2009 record date are entitled to one (1) vote for each share of Common Stock held on all matters to be voted upon at the Meeting. You may vote in person or by completing and mailing the enclosed proxy card. All shares entitled to vote and represented by properly executed proxies received before the polls are closed at the Meeting, and not revoked or superseded, will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the instructions indicated on those proxies. YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT.

Counting of Votes

All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the Meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes and abstentions. Shares represented by proxies that reflect abstentions as to a particular proposal will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. An abstention is counted as a vote against that proposal. Shares represented by proxies that reflect a broker “non-vote” will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. A broker “non-vote” will be treated as not-voted for purposes of determining approval of a proposal and will not be counted as “for” or “against” that proposal. A broker “non-vote” occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary authority or does not have instructions from the beneficial owner.

Solicitation of Proxies

We will bear the entire cost of solicitation of proxies, including preparation, assembly and mailing of this proxy statement, the proxy and any additional information furnished to stockholders. Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to banks, brokerage houses, depositories, fiduciaries and custodians holding shares of Common Stock in their names that are beneficially owned by others to forward to these beneficial owners. We may reimburse persons representing beneficial owners for their costs of forwarding the solicitation material to the beneficial owners of the Common Stock. Original solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone, facsimile, electronic mail or personal solicitation by our directors, officers or other regular employees. No additional compensation will be paid to directors, officers or other regular employees for such services. To date, we have not incurred costs in connection with the solicitation of proxies from our stockholders, however, our estimate for total costs is $30,000.

Dissenting Stockholder Rights

Dissenting stockholders have no appraisal rights under Nevada law, or under our Articles of Merger, or our bylaws in connection with the matters to be voted on at the Meeting.

VOTING SECURITIES AND OWNERSHIP OF VOTING SECURITIES BY
CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

We have set forth in the following table certain information regarding our Common Stock beneficially owned on April 9, 2009 for (i) each stockholder we know to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of our outstanding Common Stock, (ii) each of our executive officers and directors, and (iii) all executive officers and directors as a group. In general, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of such security, or the power to dispose or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which the person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days.

As of April 9, 2009, , we had approximately <>193,946,706 shares of Common Stock outstanding.

Except as otherwise indicated, we believe that the beneficial owners of the Common Stock listed above, based on information furnished by such owners, have sole investment and voting power with respect to such shares, subject to community property laws where applicable. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of Common Stock subject to options or warrants currently exercisable, or exercisable within 60 days, are deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding such option or warrants, but are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

(2)8,750,000 of these shares are held by Alaska Star Minerals LLC. James Briscoe beneficially owns 100% of the membership interest in Alaska Star Minerals LLC. 300,000 of these shares represent shares of our Common Stock that may be acquired upon exercise of stock options granted by us on May 21, 2008 that are currently exercisable or are exercisable within 60 days.

(3)This figure represents shares of our Common Stock that may be acquired upon exercise of stock options granted by us on December 27, 2004, on April 6, 2006 and on May 21, 2008 that are currently exercisable or are exercisable within 60 days.

(4)Cede & Co. is a nominee for The Depository Trust Company, and acts as depository for many United States brokerage firms and custodian banks. Management of our company is unaware of the beneficial shareholders respecting the Common Stock registered in the name of Cede & Co.

SUMMARY OF MATTERS TO BE VOTED ON

Proposal 1 – Election of Directors

The nominees for election at the Meeting to fill the positions on the Board are James Briscoe, Gary Musil and John Guilbert. If elected, the nominees will serve as directors until the next annual meeting of stockholders, or until their successors are elected and qualified. If a nominee declines to serve or becomes unavailable for any reason, the proxies may be voted for such substitute nominee as the proxy holders may designate.

The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the nominees: James Briscoe, Gary Musil and John Guilbert.

For further information, please refer to the heading below “Directors and Executive Officers”.

Proposal 2 - Ratification Of Appointment Of Independent Auditor

On September 13, 2004, Semple & Cooper, LLP was first engaged as our principal accountant to audit our financial statements.

The Board also selected Semple & Cooper, LLP as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009, and has further directed that management submit the appointment of independent auditors for ratification by the stockholders at the Meeting.

Stockholder ratification of the appointment of Semple & Cooper, LLP as our independent auditors is not required by our bylaws or otherwise. However, the Board is submitting the selection of Semple & Cooper, LLP to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Board will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Board in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent accounting firm at any time during the year if the Board determines that such a change would be in the best interests of our company and its stockholders.

Our Board has considered and determined that the services provided by Semple & Cooper, LLP are compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

Representatives of Semple & Cooper, LLP are not expected to be present at the Meeting.

The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Semple & Cooper, LLP as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009.

For further information, please refer to the heading below “Independent Public Accountants”.

Proposal 3 – Approval of Increase in Capitalization to 10,000,000,000 Common Shares

The Board is seeking shareholder approval to the increase our authorized common shares from 200,000,000 to 10,000,000,000. Our company will, if approved by the shareholders of the company, file Articles of Amendment to amend our Certificate of Incorporation increasing the authorized shares of our company.

Our Board of Directors recommends the increase in the authorized number of common shares so that additional shares will be available for issuance for general corporate purposes, including financing activities, and to meet our obligations under Convertible Promissory Notes dated May 11, 2007 and August 28, 2008 without the requirement of further action by our shareholders. In addition, our corporation will consider a stock dividend to shareholders which is not possible unless we have sufficient share capital to carry it out.

The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” an increase in capitalization to 10,000,000,000 common shares.

For further information, please refer to the heading below “Increase in Capitalization to 10,000,000,000 Common Shares”.

Proposal 4 – Approval of the 2007 Stock Option Plan

On December 10, 2007, our Board of Directors adopted our 2007 Stock Option Plan. Under the 2007 Stock Option Plan options to acquire common shares and issuance of common shares underlying options may be made to directors, officers, consultants and employees of our company. A total of 10,000,000 commons shares may be issued under our 2007 Stock Option Plan. A copy of our 2007 Stock Option Plan is attached to this proxy statement as Schedule 1.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

The Board has determined that, since the departure our former Chief Financial Officer, Jon Young, on July 31, 2008, we do not have a member of our audit committee that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K, and is “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

We believe that the members of our Board are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated any revenues to date.

Identification of the Audit Committee

Currently our audit committee consists of our entire Board. The function of the audit committee is to meet with our independent auditors at least annually to review, upon completion of the annual audit, financial results for the year, as reported in our financial statements; recommend to the Board the independent auditors to be retained; review the engagement of the independent auditors, including the scope, extent and procedures of the audit and the compensation to be paid therefore; assist and interact with the independent auditors in order that they may carry out their duties in the most efficient and cost effective manner; and review and approve all professional services provided to us by the independent auditors and considers the possible effect of such services on the independence of the auditors.

During fiscal 2008, there were no meetings held by the audit committee. The business of the audit committee was conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by all the members and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the audit committee.

Other Committees

We currently do not have nominating or compensation committees, or committees performing similar functions. We will create one or more of these committees at such time as the Board determines it would not be overly costly or burdensome to do so, and is warranted given our then stage of development.

Director Independence

We currently act with three directors, consisting of James Briscoe, Gary Musil and John Guilbert. We have determined that John Guilbert qualifies as “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv)(B) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined by Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The particulars of compensation paid to the following persons:

who we will collectively refer to as the named executive officers, of our years ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, are set out in the following summary compensation tables:

COMPENSATION PLANS

Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans

Our Board of Directors approved our “2004 Stock Option Plan.” This plan has not been approved by our stockholders. On April 6, 2006, we granted to our employees, consultants, officers and directors stock options to purchase an aggregate of 1,594,000 common shares exercisable at the price of $1.11 per share for a term of ten years. The grant of stock options was made under the terms of our 2004 Stock Option Plan. On December 8, 2006, we granted to our employees, consultants, officers and directors stock options to purchase an aggregate of 1,590,000 common shares exercisable at the price of $0.72 per share for a term of ten years. The grant of stock options was made under the terms of our 2004 Stock Option Plan. On May 24, 2007, the Company granted 10,000 incentive stock options to an employee in accordance with the 2004 Stock Option Plan. The options have an exercise price of $1.11 per share and a term of 8.875 years. The options vest 50% on the grant date, 25% on October 6, 2007 and 25% on April 6, 2008. On August 15, 2007, the Company granted 250,000 non-qualified stock options pursuant to the 2004 Stock Option Plan to an investor relations consultant in exchange for future services. The Options have an exercise price of $0.45 per share and a term of 3 years. The options vest 25% every three month anniversary of the grant date.

On December 10, 2007, our Board of Directors approved our 2007 Stock Option Plan. Under the 2007 Stock Option Plan, options to acquire common shares and issuance of common shares underlying options may be made to directors, officers, consultants and employees of our company. A total of 10,000,000 common shares may be issued under our 2007 Stock Option Plan. The form of the 2007 Stock Option Plan is subject to the approval of our stockholders and is attached to this proxy statement as Schedule 1.

The Company granted 425,000 non-qualified stock options to non-employee consultants and 3,050,000 incentive stock options to employees, officers and directors on May 21, 2008. The options have an exercise price of $0.22 per option. On June 26, 2008 the Board eliminated the vesting period so the options would be fully vested effective on that date. The options have a life of ten years. The options were granted pursuant to the 2007 Stock Option Plan. The fair value of the stock option grant was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

Long-Term Incentive Plans

There are no arrangements or plans in which we provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for directors or executive officers, except that our directors and executive officers receive stock options at the discretion of our Board. We do not have any material bonus or profit sharing plans pursuant to which cash or non-cash compensation is or may be paid to our directors or executive officers, except that stock options may be granted at the discretion of our Board.


- 11 -

We have no plans or arrangements in respect of remuneration received or that may be received by our executive officers to compensate such officers in the event of termination of employment (as a result of resignation, retirement, change of control) or a change of responsibilities following a change of control, where the value of such compensation exceeds $60,000 per executive officer.

Employment Contracts

We have not entered into any employment agreements or compensation arrangements with any of our named executive officers.

Compensation of Directors

We have no formal plan for compensating our directors for their service in their capacity as directors, although such directors are expected in the future to receive stock options to purchase common stock as awarded by our Board of Directors or (as to future stock options) a compensation committee which may be established. Directors are entitled to reimbursement for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors may award special remuneration to any director undertaking any special services on our behalf other than services ordinarily required of a director. No director received and/or accrued any compensation for their services as a director, including committee participation and/or special assignments.

The following table sets forth for each director, unless such director is also a named executive officer, the particulars of all compensation paid or accruing for the last fiscal year ended.

INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Fees

Audit Fees. This category includes the fees for the audit of our consolidated financial statements and the quarterly reviews of interim financial statements. This category also includes advice on audit and accounting matters that arose during or as a result of the audit or the review of interim financial statements and services in connection with Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

Audit-Related Fees. This category includes assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the financial statements that are not reported under Audit Fees, and describes the nature of the services comprising the fees disclosed under this category.

Tax Fees. This category includes the fees for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning, and describes the nature of the services comprising the fees disclosed under this category.


- 12 -

All Other Fees. This category includes products and services provided by the principal accountant, other than the services reported under Audit Fees, Audit-Related Fees or Tax Fees.

Our current and former independent public accountants provided audit and other services during the fiscal years ended January 2008 and 2007 as follows:

  Fiscal 
  2008  2007 
Audit Fees$103,358 $78,695 
Audit-Related Fees$3,414 $18,180 
Tax Fees 0  0 
All Other Fees 0  0 
Total Fees$106,772 $96,875 

We do not use Semple & Cooper, LLP for financial information system design and implementation. These services, which include designing or implementing a system that aggregates source data underlying the financial statements or generates information that is significant to our financial statements, are provided internally or by other service providers. We do not engage Semple & Cooper, LLP to provide compliance outsourcing services.

Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that before Semple & Cooper, LLP is engaged by us to render any auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement be:

- approved by our audit committee (which consists of our entire Board); or

- entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the Board, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the Board is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the Board’ responsibilities to management.

The Board pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the Board either before or after the respective services were rendered.

The Board has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by Semple & Cooper, LLP and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining Semple & Cooper, LLP’s independence.


13

INDEBTEDNESS OF MANAGEMENT

None of our directors, officers or employees, or any of our former directors, officers and employees, and none of the proposed nominees for election, or any of the associates of any such persons is or has been indebted to our company or its subsidiaries at any time since the beginning of our last completed financial year and no indebtedness remains outstanding as at the date of this proxy statement.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16 (a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide us with copies of those filings. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during the year ended January 31, 2008, all filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than 10% percent beneficial owners were complied with.

The Company agrees to make $175,000 in exploration expenditures on or before dates to be determined by the Company, but no later than January 1, 2011. No exploration expenditures have been paid or incurred during the year ended January 31, 2008.

Paid or accrued $4,740 in rent. We rented an office from an officer on a month-to-month basis for $395 per month.

INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED CAPITAL TO 10,000,000,000 COMMON SHARES

Our Board of Directors is seeking shareholder approval to the increase our authorized common shares from 200,000,000 to 10,000,000,000. Our company will, if approved by the shareholders of the company, file Articles of Amendment to amend our Certificate of Incorporation increasing the authorized shares of our company.


14

Our Board of Directors recommends the increase in the authorized number of common shares so that additional shares will be available for issuance with respect to the conversion of promissory notes issued on May 11, 2007 and August 28, 2008 (the “Convertible Promissory Notes”). The Convertible Promissory Notes are secured by all the assets of our company. For further information regarding the Convertible Promissory Notes please see our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended October 31, 2008, which is enclosed with this proxy statement.

If we do not increase our authorized capital, our company will be in violation of the terms of the Convertible Promissory Notes and subject to forfeiture of our assets.

Our Board of Directors is also considering a dividend to shareholders payable in common stock of our company. While there is no guarantee that this will occur, it will be impossible to issue a dividend if there is not sufficient share capital to do so.


- 14 -

The increase in our authorized common stock will not have any immediate effect on the rights of existing shareholders. However, our Board of Directors will have the authority to issue authorized common stock without requiring future shareholders approval of such issuances, except as may be required by applicable law or exchange regulations. To the extent that additional authorized shares are issued in the future, they will decrease the existing shareholders’ percentage equity ownership and, depending upon the price at which they are issued, could be dilutive to the existing shareholders.

Currently, we have issued the maximum number of authorized shares and have obligations under the Convertible Promissory Notes to issue additional common shares. Without approval of the increase in authorized capital, we will be in default of our obligations.

We do not have any provisions in our Articles, by-laws, or employment or credit agreements to which we are party that have anti-takeover consequences. We do not currently have any plans to adopt anti-takeover provisions or enter into any arrangements or understandings that would have anti-takeover consequences. In certain circumstances, our management may issue additional shares to resist a third party takeover transaction, even if done at an above market premium and favoured by a majority of independent shareholders.

2007 STOCK OPTION PLAN

On December 10, 2007, our Board of Directors approved our 2007 Stock Option Plan. Under the 2007 Stock Option Plan, options to acquire common shares and issuance of common shares underlying options may be made to directors, officers, consultants and employees of our company. A total of 10,000,000 common shares may be issued under our 2007 Stock Option Plan. The form of the 2007 Stock Option Plan is subject to the approval of our stockholders and is attached to this proxy statement as Schedule 1.

The Company granted 425,000 non-qualified stock options to non-employee consultants and 3,050,000 incentive stock options to employees, officers and directors on May 21, 2008. The options have an exercise price of $0.22 per option. On June 26, 2008 the Board eliminated the vesting period so the options would be fully vested effective on that date. The options have a life of ten years. The options were granted pursuant to the 2007 Stock Option Plan. The fair value of the stock option grant was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

The 2007 Stock Option Plan is a discretionary option grant program, under which the Plan Administrator, as defined in Section 2.5 of the 2007 Stock Option Plan, may grant (i) incentive stock options to purchase shares of common stock to employees; and (ii) nonqualified stock options to purchase shares of common stock to employees and to such other persons who are not employees as the Plan Administrator shall select.


- 15 -

Administration

The Plan Administrator will administer the discretionary option grant program. The Plan Administrator will determine which individuals are to receive option grants, the number of shares to be subject to each grant, the date of grant, the termination of the options, the option term, vesting schedules and all other terms and conditions pertaining to the plan.

Plan Features

The 2007 Stock Option Plan includes the following features:

The number of options granted to any one person in any 12 month period may not exceed 10% of our issued shares of common stock.

In the absence of action to the contrary by the Plan Administrator, all options will be non-qualified stock options.

The aggregate fair market value of the common shares with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by the optionee during any calendar year shall not exceed the Annual Limit, as defined in Section 5.1 of the 2007 Stock Option Plan.

Any portion of an option which exceeds the Annual Limit shall not be void but rather shall be a non-qualified stock option.

25% of the option shall vest in and be exercisable by the employee one (1) year from the date of granting;

The vesting of one or more outstanding options maybe accelerated by the Plan Administrator.

All of the options granted pursuant to the 2007 Stock Option Plan are non-assignable and non-transferable.


16

Amendment and Termination

The 2007 Stock Option Plan will terminate on the tenth anniversary of the effective date. No options may be granted during any suspension of the plan or after the date of termination.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following discussion is intended to be only a general description of the tax consequences of the 2007 Stock Option Plan under the provisions of U.S. federal income tax law currently in effect and does not address any estate, gift, state, local or non-U.S. tax laws. U.S. federal income tax law is subject to change at any time, possibly with retroactive effect. Accordingly, each grantee should consult a tax advisor regarding his or her specific tax situation.


- 16 -

Incentive Stock Options

The grant of an incentive stock option does not give rise to federal income tax to the grantee. Similarly, the exercise of an incentive stock option generally does not give rise to federal income tax to the grantee, as long as the grantee is continuously employed by the company from the date the option is granted until the date the option is exercised. This employment requirement is subject to certain exceptions. However, the exercise of an incentive stock option may increase the grantee’s alternative minimum tax liability, if any.

If the grantee holds the option shares for more than two years from the date the option is granted and more than one year from the date of exercise, any gain or loss recognized on the sale or other disposition of the option shares will be capital gain or loss, measured by the difference between the sales price and the amount paid for the shares by the grantee. The capital gain or loss will be long-term or short-term, depending on the grantee’s holding period for the shares. If the grantee disposes of the option shares before the end of the required holding period, the grantee will recognize ordinary income at the time of the disposition equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the fair market value of the option shares at the time of exercise (or, under certain circumstances, the selling price, if lower) over (ii) the option exercise price paid by the grantee. Any additional amount received by the grantee would be treated as capital gain. Under current U.S. law, there is a maximum tax rate of 15% for long-term capital gains. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations.

We are generally not entitled to a tax deduction at any time with respect to an incentive stock option. If, however, the grantee does not satisfy the employment or holding period requirements described above, we will be allowed a deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary income recognized by the grantee, subject to certain limitations and W-2 reporting requirements.

Non-Statutory Stock Options.

The grant of a non-statutory stock option generally does not result in federal income tax to the grantee. However, the grantee will recognize taxable ordinary income upon the exercise of a non-statutory option equal to the excess of the fair market value of the option shares on the exercise date over the option exercise price paid. Slightly different rules may apply to grantees who acquire stock under options subject to certain vesting requirements or who are subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. With respect to employees, we may be required to withhold income and employment taxes based on the amount of ordinary income recognized by the grantee.

On the sale of the option shares, the grantee will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the sales price and the sum of the exercise price paid by the grantee for the shares plus any amount recognized as ordinary income upon the exercise of the option. The capital gain or loss will be long-term or short-term depending on the grantee’s holding period for the shares.

We will be allowed a tax deduction on the exercise of the option by the grantee, equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the grantee, subject to certain limitations and W-2 or 1099 reporting requirements.


17

Taxation of Deferred Compensation.

Recently enacted Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code imposes immediate taxation, with interest and a 20% excise tax, on certain deferred compensation that does not meet the requirements of the Section. Adverse treatment under Section 409A applies to stock appreciation rights that are granted below fair market value or that can be exercised for cash without a fixed payment date and to nonstatutory stock options that are granted below fair market value. If any award granted under this Plan does not comply with the Section 409A requirements, the affected employee will be subject to the adverse tax consequences discussed in this paragraph.


- 17 -

Certain Limitations on Deductibility of Executive Compensation.

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally denies a deduction to publicly held corporations for compensation paid to certain executive officers in excess of $1 million per executive per taxable year (including any deduction attributable to stock options). Certain kinds of compensation, including qualified “performance-based compensation”, are disregarded for purposes of the deduction limitation. Compensation attributable to stock options will qualify as performance-based compensation if the exercise price of the options is no less than the fair market value of stock on the date of grant, the options are granted by a compensation committee comprised solely of “outside directors” (as defined in the Treasury Regulations issued under Section 162(m)) and certain other requirements are met.

The 2007 Stock Option Plan is not subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and is not qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

None of our directors or executive officers, no nominee for election as a director of our company and no associate of any of the foregoing persons has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS TO BE PRESENTED AT NEXT ANNUAL MEETING

Stockholders may present proper proposals for inclusion in our proxy statement and for consideration at our next annual meeting of stockholders. To be eligible for inclusion in our 2009 proxy statement, your proposal must be received by us no later than November 30, 2009, , and must otherwise comply with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. Further, if you would like to nominate a director or bring any other business before the stockholders at the 2009 annual meeting, you must notify us in writing and such notice must be delivered to or received by our President no later than November 30, 2009 .2009. While the Board will consider stockholder proposals, we reserve the right to omit from our 2009 proxy statement stockholder proposals that are not required to be included under the Exchange Act, including Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act.

STOCKHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS

We do not currently have a process that provides for stockholders to send communications, including recommendations and nominations, to the Board. The Board does not believe that it is necessary to have such a policy because current management is capable of responding to any questions or concerns of stockholders. In addition, we believe that the creation and implementation of such a policy would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given our current size.

“HOUSEHOLDING” OF PROXY MATERIAL

The Securities and Exchange Commission permits companies and intermediaries (e.g. brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, commonly referred to as “householding”, potentially means extra conveniences for stockholders and cost savings for companies.


18

A number of brokers with accountholders who are stockholders of our Company will be “householding” our proxy materials. As indicated in the notice previously provided by these brokers to stockholders, a single proxy statement will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from an affected stockholder. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, please notify your broker.


- 18 -

Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the proxy statement at their address and would like to request “householding” of their communications should contact their broker.

ANNUAL REPORT

Our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended January 31, 2008 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended October 31, 2008 are enclosed with this proxy statement.

OTHER BUSINESS

In addition to the matters to be voted upon by the stockholders of our common stock, we will receive and consider both the Report of the Board to the stockholders, and the audited financial statements of our company for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008, together with the auditors’ report thereon. These matters do not require stockholder approval, and therefore stockholders will not be required to vote upon these matters.

The Board knows of no other business that will be presented for consideration at the Meeting. If other matters are properly brought before the Meeting; however, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote the shares represented thereby on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.

If there are insufficient votes to approve any of the proposals contained herein, the Board may adjourn the Meeting to a later date and solicit additional proxies. If a vote is required to approve such adjournment, the proxies will be voted in favor of such adjournment.

By Order of the Board of Directors,

/s/ James Briscoe
