PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Introduction
Byron Resources Inc. (“Byron” or the “Company”) is a corporation under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, with principal executive offices at 2045 Lakeshore Blvd. W., Suite3606, Toronto, Ontario, M8V 2Z6.The Company currently has no operating business.
On February 22, 2001, the company completed the acquisition of BioForest Investments Inc., with the issuance of 36,723,050 common shares, pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement dated May 9, 2000 and as amended by letter agreement dated December 15, 2000. The Native Land Trust Board (NLTB) confirmed and approved the BioForest Investments Inc. acquisition of the Merit Concession subject to certain performance conditions.
BioForest Investments Inc. had the right to earn 70% of BioForest Holdings (Fiji) Limited and BioForest Products (Fiji) Limited (“H&P”) upon providing U.S. $10,000,000. H&P are 30% owned by the Taukei Unit Trust, which represents the interest of certain Fijian owners of forestlands. The funding was to be used to acquire several indigenous timber concessions in the Republic of Fiji, to purchase and upgrade certain operating sawmills and dry mills and for operating capital. The Company was not successful in raising the required capital. Pursuant to agreements dated August 31, 1999 and October 25, 1999 and the extension granted on September 26, 2001, by the Native Trust Board of Fiji,the rights to the Merit Concession expired on October 31, 2002.
The Company is a Foreign Issuer inasmuch as it does not meet any of the standards set in Rule 3b-4 c.2.i, ii or iii. The citizenship of the Company’s officers and directors are as follows: three Canadians (R. McGroarty, G.E. Mara and D.L. Hynes). The business of the Company is administered in Toronto, Ontario Canada.
The Company's financial statements appearing in this Registration Statement conform to GAAP and GAAS and are expressed in Canadian Dollars. References to other currencies are identified as necessary.
General History and Development of Byron Resources, Inc. (formerly Bioforest Pacific Inc.)
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, on July 18, 1986 as Castello Resources Ltd. It subsequently changed its name to Castello Business Systems Ltd. on January 21, 1993 before becoming Castello Casino Corp. on October 31, 1995. In 1995, Articles of Continuance provided for the Company’s continuance in the Province of Ontario, Canada. Articles of Amendment granted Castello provided for an increase in the authorized capital to 100,000,000 common shares of no par value and the consolidation of the common shares on the basis of four (4) pre-consolidation common shares for one (1) post-consolidation common share. The company, on April 15, 2003, changed its name to Byron Resources Inc., and the common shares of the company were consolidated on the basis of 1 new share for each 140 shares held, approval having been granted at the Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders held on December 12, 2002.
The Company was formed to engage in the business of both mineral and oil and gas exploration and development in Canada and the United States. By 1989, the Company abandoned its option on the mining claims held in British Columbia and sold its oil and gas interests in 1990.
In July 1991, the Company entered into an agreement with Minolta Corporation to market and to distribute the Minolta Payfax machine. By Agreement dated May 3, 1993, the Company and Minolta Corporation terminated the agreement. The agreement provided for payments to the Company aggregating CD$600,000 including the re-purchase of equipment.
In 1994, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase certain casino properties in Central City, Colorado, and advanced $662,510. The terms provided for a 4% equity interest in the project. The Company received from the Vendor, One Eye, LLC, GCDC Limited Partnership and their officers, members and agents, Jim McClay, Charles Callaway, Jon Telleen and Richard M. Greene, a convertible Promissory Note for $683,000 payable on demand after April 8, 1996 with interest at 8%.
4
The Note was convertible into an additional 6% interest in the project. The operator abandoned the project and the company has written off its investment.
In February 1994, the Company submitted a proposal to the Ontario Government to establish the initial First Nation Casino on native lands in the Province of Ontario. The Government repudiated this participation in November 1994. The Company in April 2002 filed an amended statement of claim for costs against the Province of Ontario as well as the Ontario Casino Corporation in the amount of $825,000 and $10,000,000 in punitive damages. The Company’s position is that it was allowed participation in the process, being in compliance with the agreed to objectives, criteria and guidelines. The company claims the Government acted in bad faith and abused the process by repudiating the participation of gaming management companies.
In November 1995, the Company entered into a Joint Venture agreement to acquire an interest in a Venezuelan gaming entertainment centre. The agreement provided the Company would provide not less than $1,618,800 for development of the project. The agreement provided that 80% of the operating profit would be applied to repayment of capital advanced by the Company. Subsequently the company acquired a 25% interest in Inveriones Forum SA for the consideration of $1.00. Pursuant to an agreement dated December 30, 1996, the Company acquired a further 21.85% interest in Inveriones Forum SA, valued at $3,033,675 to hold 46.85%. The consideration was through the issuance of 1,091,250 units comprising one (1) common share and one (1) Series “A” Warrant. The Warrant entitled the holder to purchase one (1) common share for CDN$2.78 per share and to receive one (1) Series “B” Warrant. Each Series “B” Warrant entitled the holder to purchase one (1) common share for $3.34 per share. The warrant s expired on March 21, 1998.
The lease of the Forum Entertainment and Gaming Centre was terminated by the landlord for non payment of rent, which resulted from a new Venezuelan federal law enacted in July 1997, which prohibited the operation of any gaming related facilities or organizations without a license from the federal government. The facility had been operating under municipal license until that point in time. The federal law superceded all local and municipal licenses and terminated all gaming operations in the country at that time. The Company has written off its investment of $5,648,857 in the project.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Company maintains corporate headquarters in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The space consists of 300 square feet and is leased on a monthly basis from the Chairman of the company.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On June 9, 2000, the company was also served a Statement of Claim on behalf of Beach Tree Trust of Nassau, a company associated with Mr. Fox, a former director. The Claim is an amount of US $1,135, 234 and 594,999 pre-consolidated shares of Castello. Beach Tree claims that various sums of money were paid to Castello to finance a gaming facility in Venezuela. Ross McGroarty, the Chairman of Castello, has also been named as a defendant.Management is of the opinion that the claim is without merit and is defending the claim.
In February 1994, the Company submitted a proposal to the Ontario Government to establish the initial First Nation Casino on native lands in the Province of Ontario. The Government repudiated this participation in November 1994. The Company (Plaintiff) filed a claim in the Ontario Court (General Division) against the Province of Ontario (Defendant) in June 1995 in the amount of $825,000 and punitive damages in the amount of $10,000,000. Castello’s position is that it was allowed participation in the process, being in compliance with the agreed to objectives, criteria and guidelines.In April 2002, the claim was amended to include the Ontario Casino Corporation. Castello claims the Government acted in bad faith and abused the process by repudiating the participation of gaming management companies.
The defendant denies that the plaintiff is entitled to the relief claimed and denies the allegations of the statement of claim. Examination of Discovery has been completed and Bioforest will make application for a trial date.

DEMOGRAPHICS OF SHARE DISTRIBUTION
On December 31, 2003, 759,324 of the outstanding common shares were held by persons with United States addresses in eighteen (18) states. Shareholder distribution in countries other than the United States totaled 30,140,732 common shares, of which 17,893,718 are restricted securities. The demographics of the share distribution are as follows: Australia 26,213; Bahamas 41,415; Bermuda 12,504; Canada 21,850,976; Fiji 82,009; Hong Kong 72,862; Ireland 8,054,658.
The Company’s common stock is a penny stock as defined by Rule 3a 51-1 of the Securities Exchange Act 1934 and is subject to penny stock rules which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors, generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company’s securities and also may affect the ability of purchasers of Byron common shares to sell shares in the secondary market.
ITEM 6. EXCHANGE CONTROLS AND OTHER LIMITATIONS AFFECTING SECURITY HOLDERS
As of the date of this Registration Statement, there are no governmental laws, decrees or regulations in Canada that restrict the export or import of capital, including, but not limited to, foreign exchange controls, or that affect the remittance of dividends
6
or other payments to nonresident holders of Common shares.
There are no limitations as to the securities to be registered on the right of non-resident or foreign owners to hold or vote such securities imposed by foreign law or by the charter or other constituent document of the registrant.
ITEM 7. TAXATION
The following is a summary of the Canadian federal income tax provisions applicable to United States corporations, citizens, and resident alien individuals purchasing, holding and disposing of Common shares. The discussion does not purport to deal with all aspects of Canadian federal taxation that may be relevant to shareholders, including those subject to special treatment under the income tax laws; however, this discussion covers all material tax consequences. Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisers regarding the Canadian federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of the Company’s Common shares, as well as any consequences arising under U.S. federal, state or local tax laws or tax laws of other jurisdictions outside the United States. The summary is based on the assumption that, for Canadian tax purposes, the purchasers or shareholders (I) deal at arm’s length with the Company, (ii) are not residents of Canada, (iii) hold the Common shares as capital property, an d (iv) do not use or hold Common shares in, or in the course of, carrying on business in Canada (a “Non-Resident Holder”).
Dividends paid or credited on the Common shares to a non-resident holder will be subject to a non-resident withholding tax under the Income Tax Act (Canada) at the rate of 25%, although such rate may be reduced under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty. For this purpose, dividends will include amounts paid by the Company in excess of the paid-up capital of the Common shares on redemption or a purchase for cancellation of such shares by the Company (other than purchases on the open market). Under the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention, 1980 (the “Tax Treaty”) the rate is generally reduced to 15% for dividends paid to a person who is a US resident. Dividends paid to US corporations owning at least 10% of the voting stock of the Company are subject to a withholding tax rate of 5% under the Tax Treaty as amended by the Protocol signed on March 17, 1995. Other applicable tax treaties may reduce the 25% Canadian tax rate for other NonResident Holders.
A Non-Resident Holder generally will not be subject to tax in Canada on capital gains realized from disposition of Common shares, unless such shares are “taxable Canadian property” within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada). Generally, the Common shares would not be taxable Canadian property unless the Non-Resident Holder, together with related parties, at any time during the five years prior to the disposition of the Common shares owned not less than 25% of the issued shares of any class of the capital stock of the Company. Under the Treaty, a resident of the United States will not be subject to tax under the Income Tax Act (Canada) in respect of gains realized on the sale of Common shares which constitute "taxable Canadian property, provided that the value of the Common shares at the time of disposition is not derived principally from real property located in Canada. This summary is not exhaustive of all possible income tax considerations and shareholders and prospective purchasers are adv ised to consult with their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances. The Canadian Tax Act on dividends to U.S. residents is a 15% withholding tax.

In 2003, financing was obtained from a director/officer loan of $57,500and the issuance of common shares for $150,000 relating to consulting fees.
The continuation as a going concern is dependant on the continued support from the Company’s investors and on achieving a source of income. Management is pursuing other business opportunities and is confident in its ability to provide capital to effect a successful turnaround for the Company.
The Company has been able, in the past, to raise funds for the acquisition, participation or development of business opportunities. While past ability does not assure future success, the Company believes that it will be able to re-capitalize itself. The Company maintains significant contacts in the U.S., Canada, Europe and other areas with the belief that it will benefit from its experience in securing the required capital to ensure the continuance of the Company as a viable entity.
Any recently issued changes in accounting standards will have little if any impact on the Company’s financial statements if, as and when the standards are adopted. This is applicable to any accounting standards issued (Canadian and U.S.) and their impact on the Company’s financial statements.

STATEMENT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES
The Corporation’s Board of Directors is charged with developing and monitoring the Corporation’s governance practices. The following statement reflects the corporate governance practices and policies that the Corporation has either adopted or it is considering adopting. The Corporation believes that the steps it has taken to date represent an appropriate approach to corporate governance and is pleased to make the following disclosure regarding its corporate practices.
BOARD RESPONSIBILITIES AND COMPOSITION
The Board is responsible for the supervision of the management of the Corporation and for approving the overall direction of the Corporation, in a manner, which is in the best interests of the Corporation. The Board has explicitly confirmed its stewardship responsibility for reviewing and approving the Corporation’s strategy, and for implementing, or requiring management to implement, procedures and systems for: (1) adopting a strategic planning process; (2) communications policy; and (5) adopting internal control and management information systems.
The Board participates fully in assessing and approving strategic plans and prospective decisions proposed by management. To ensure that the principal business risks that are borne by the Corporation are appropriate, the Board regularly monitors the financial performance of the Corporation’s individual units. This monitoring function often entails review and comment by the Board on various management reports. The Board, directly and through its Audit Committee, assesses the integrity of the Corporation’s internal control and management information systems. In respect of senior management succession planning, the Board has been involved in identifying candidates from within and outside the Corporation to fill senior management positions, as required. As a practice, the Board approves significant corporate communications with shareholders.
There were five formal meetings of the Board last year while several matters of business were dealt with by telephone and by written resolution of the directors. Frequency of meetings, and the nature of agenda items change, depending upon the state of the Corporation’s affairs, in light of opportunities or risks, which the Corporation faces from time to time.
The Board is currently composed of three members. Of the current Board members, Mr. Mara is considered by the board to be an “unrelated director”, as in “free from any interest and any business or other relationship which would, or could reasonably perceived to, materially interfere with the director’s ability to act with a view to the best interests of the Corporation, other than interests and relationships arising from shareholding.” The other two members, Messer’s Hynes and McGroarty are related within the meaning of the Guidelines. In deciding whether a particular director is or is not a “related director”, the Board examined the factual circumstances of each director.
The Board believes that all of its directors made a valuable contribution to the Corporation. A number of the directors, although not “unrelated directors”, possess an extensive knowledge of the Corporation’s business, which has proven to be beneficial to the Board, and their participation as directors contributes to the effectiveness of the Board. The Board also believes that the directors are sensitive to conflicts of interest and will excuse themselves from deliberations and voting in appropriate circumstances.
BOARD FUNCTIONING AND INDEPENDENCE
The Board has no formal policy with respect to which matters, other than those required by statute, must be brought by the President of the Corporation or other senior management to the Board for approval, however, there is a clear understanding between senior management and the Board that all major strategic decisions including any change in the strategic direction of the Corporation and acquisitions and/or divestitures of a material nature, will be presented by management to the Board for approval. As part of its ongoing activity, the Board regularly receives and comments upon reports of management as to the performances of the Corporation’s business and managements expectations and planned actions in respect thereto.
Mr. Ross McGroarty is the Chairman of the Board of the Corporation; Mr. David L. Hynes is the President of the Corporation. All directors are expected to exercise critical judgment at all times and the outside directors have unrestricted, direct access tobothCorporation executives and the external auditor. In order to assist the Board to discharge its responsibilities, the Board is committed to continuing to examine and develop the processes which it follows in its deliberationforensuringthattheBoardcontinues to fulfill its mandate. The Board has developed a formal position description for the President, which includes development of a strategic plan for the Corporation and the general management of all aspects and
11
affairs of the Corporation, including overseeing the financial management of the Corporation and the Corporation’s compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements. In addition, the Board and the President engage in regular dialogue regarding achieving the Corporation’s strategic objectives as determined by management and the Board. The Board has not met without management present. If the Board believed it was appropriate and meaningful, it would have formalized the process by which the Board would meet without management and for handling the Board’s overall relationship with management.
BOARD COMMITTEES
The Board has an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee. As and when required, ad hoc committees of the Board will be appointed. As the Board has plenary power, responsibility, which is not delegated, to management or a Board committee remains with the Board. With respect to individual members of the Board, no situation has arisen to date in which an individual member of the Board has expressed an interest in retaining, or has actually retained, an outside advisor at the expense of the Corporation. The Board would consider any such request by an individual member of the Board on its merits at the time it was made.
AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Audit Committee is composed of three directors, Messrs Hynes, McGroarty and Mara. Mr. Mara is also an outside director. The Audit Committee is responsible for the integrity of the Corporation’s internal accounting and control systems. The Committee receives and reviews the financial statements of the Corporation and makes recommendations thereon to the Board prior to their approval by the full Board. The Audit Committee communicates directly with the Corporation’s external auditors in order to discuss audit and related matters wherever appropriate COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
The Board’s Compensation Committee is composed of two directors, Messrs Hynes and Mara. Mr. Mara is an outside director. The Committee reviews and approves significant human resources policies. The Committee also develops and articulates the corporate compensation philosophy and reviews and approves stock options and executive compensation, including incentive plans, compensation policies and changes.
NOMINATING COMMITTEE
The Board does not have a nominating committee. All members of the Board are encouraged to bring forward their recommendations for nominees for election thereto. Nominations are made after extensive discussion involving the President and other members of the Board. SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS
The Corporation endeavors to keep all shareholders well informed as to financial performance of the Corporation, primarily by means of its annual and quarterly reports.
With the approval of the Board, management has appointed Mr. David L. Hynes, President of the Corporation, and Mr. Ross McGroarty, Chairman of the Corporation. They are the principal individuals responsible for receiving shareholder enquiries and addressing shareholder concerns. While being guided by regulatory requirements and the Corporation’s policies in respect to confidentiality and disclosure, Messrs. Hynes and McGroarty are available for interviews by stakeholders, including analysts, the media and investors. They endeavour to respond promptly and appropriately to all such requests and/or inquiries.

The aggregate amount of compensation paid by the Company and its subsidiaries during the Company's last fiscal year for services was Cdn. $150,000
ITEM 12. OPTIONS AND WARRANTS TO PURCHASE SECURITIES FROM REGISTRANT

ITEM 13. INTEREST OF MANAGEMENT IN CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
During the past three years, there have been no material transactions in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries was a party and in which any director or officer of the Company had a direct or indirect material interest.

AUDITORS' REPORT To the Shareholders of
Byron Resources Inc., formerly Bioforest Pacific Inc. (A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Byron Resources Inc., formerly Bioforest Pacific Inc., (A Development Stage Company) as at December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the related statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders' equity for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2003 and for the period from commencement of the development stage, January 1, 2002, to December 31, 2003. 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 auditing standards generally accepted in Canada and the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance 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. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Byron Resources Inc. as at December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2003 and for the period from commencement of the development stage, January 1, 2002, to December 31, 2003 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company is a development stage company and has incurred substantial losses, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company's shares are listed on the over-the-counter Bulletin Board in the United States of America. The Company effectively ceased its prior business on December 31, 2001 and has been investigating new business ventures since January 1, 2002.
The Company has no business operations or sources of revenue. These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. As at December 31, 2003, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $8,249 and has an accumulated deficit of $15,118,624 since inception. Management is seeking business ventures which, when identified, will require financing. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to identify viable business ventures and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due.
On April 15, 2003, the Company changed its name from Bioforest Pacific Inc. to Byron Resources Inc.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with general accounting principles accepted in the United States of America. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involved the use of estimates, which have been made using careful judgement. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The financial statements, in management's opinion, have been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:
(a) | Development Stage Company The Company is a development stage company as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7. For the purpose of providing cumulative amounts for the statements of operations and cash flows, these amounts consider only the income and losses for the period from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2003, the period in which the Company has undertaken a new development stage activity.
|
(b) | Marketable Securities The Company classifies its marketable securities as "available for sale" and carries them in the financial statements at fair value. Realized gains and losses are reported in earnings of the period while unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from income and reported as a component of stockholders' equity.
|
(c) | Capital Assets Capital assets are amortized on the diminishing balance method at the following rates per annum:
|
Computer equipment - - 30%
Office equipment - - 20%

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(d) | Foreign Currency Translation Foreign currency transactions are translated into Canadian dollars, the Company's functional and reporting currency, by the use of the exchange rate in effect at the date of the transaction, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation". At each balance sheet date, recorded balances that are denominated in a currency other than Canadian dollars are adjusted to reflect the current exchange rate.
|
(e) | Income Taxes The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("FAS 109"). Under the assets and liability method of FAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carryforwards and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
|
(f) | Basic Earnings or Loss Per Share The Company reports basic earnings or loss per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". Basic earnings or loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.
|
(g) | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying values of the Company's financial instruments, consisting of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable and amounts due to shareholder approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of such instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
|
(h) | Comprehensive Income The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income". Comprehensive income is comprised of net earnings (loss) adjusted for unrealized gain on available-for-sale marketable securities.
|
3. MARKETABLE SECURITIES
The marketable securities consist of common shares of Ontex Resources Ltd. and Bio-America Inc. and have been classified as available for sale. Amounts presented for the prior period have been restated by an amount of $43,158 to reflect the unrealized loss on these investments in order to comply with the Company's accounting policy described in Note 2.
