The following documents filed by Company with the SEC are incorporated by reference in this registration statement:
| | (a) | Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for year ended April 30, 2008, as subsequently amended, filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”); |

All documents filed by the Company subsequent to those listed in Item 3(a)-(b) above pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
| Item 4. | Description of Securities. |
Not applicable.
| Item 5. | Interests of Named Experts and Counsel. |
Not applicable.
| Item 6. | Indemnification of Directors and Officers. |
In addition to any rights of indemnification that may be granted to directors and officers under the Nevada Business Corporation Code, as amended, the Bylaws ("Bylaws") grant the registrant broad powers to indemnify directors and officers against liabilities that they may incur in such capacities.
The Bylaws require the indemnification of an officer or director made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding because such person is or was an officer or director of the registrant against certain liabilities and expenses if: (i) the officer or director acted in good faith; (ii) the officer or director reasonably believed the actions were in or not opposed to the registrant's best interest; and (iii) in the case of a criminal proceeding, the officer or director had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful. In the case of any proceeding by or in the right of the registrant, an officer or director is entitled to indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law if the officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner the officer or director reasonably believed was in or not opposed to the registrant's best interest.
An officer or director is generally not entitled to indemnification: (i) in connection with any proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the officer or director in which the officer or director is adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received; or (ii) in connection with any proceeding initiated by such person against the registrant, its directors, officers, employees, or other agents.
| Item 7. | Exemption from Registration Claimed. |
Not Applicable
The exhibits listed in the index to exhibits, which appears on page 7 hereof, are filed as part of this registration statement.
| | A. | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: |
| | (1) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: |
| | (a) | To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Act; |
| | (b) | To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereto) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement; |
| | (c) | To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; |
| | provided, however, that paragraphs A(1)(a) and A(1)(b) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement. |
| | (2) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| | (3) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
| | B. | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| | C. | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the |
| | above-referenced provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |
