ITEM 1. BUSINESS
(a) Business Development
American Media Systems Co is a Nevada company incorporated on December 6, 2004. We are a startup film and production company specializing in television and feature film aerial cinematography. We have achieved losses since inception, have relied on the issuance of common stock to fund operations, and have been issued a going concern opinion from our auditors. Our registered office and agent for service is located at 5190 Neil Road, Suite 430 Reno, NV 89502. Our telephone and fax numbers are 1-866-651-2219 and 1-817-549-2216, respectively and our corporate website is www.americanmediasystems.com.
On December 7, 2004 we purchased equipment with a historical cost base of $44,400 for 1,000,000 common shares from Alexander Vesak, our founder. The equipment includes all camera, lighting, audio, and editing equipment necessary to produce instructional DVDs. On December 13, 2004 we signed a marketing agreement with Brand Specialists LLC whereby Brand Specialists LLC retains an exclusive right to market our products to Neighborhood Markets, Wal-Mart, Sam's Club and Wal-Mart SuperCenters in the United States and Canada.
On February 15, 2005 we entered into an agreement with Mr. Vesak, our founder and purchased the intellectual property rights to his instructional DVDs on fly-fishing and crafting. The agreement to purchase the intellectual property included, but was not limited to, all know-how, inventions, patents, revisions, marks, web sites, and copies thereof. The purchase price for the intellectual property was $1 for each series of DVDs. In April of 2005 we started offering aerial cinematography services in addition to the production and marketing of the instructional DVDs. During the 2005 year the cinematography services accounted for 93% of our revenues. On May 31, 2006 we divested and sold the DVD business to focus our attention on the aerial cinematography business.
(b) Business of the Issuer
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion suggesting there is a real possibility that we will not be able to maintain our operations. During the year ended December 31, 2008 we generated revenues of $nil and achieved a loss of $82,378. For the year ended December 31, 2007 we generated a total of $1,830 in revenues and achieved losses of $63,495
We are a film and production company specializing in television and feature film aerial cinematography. This business is characterized by contract work that has clearly defined commencement and completion dates over short engagement periods of days or months. The business relies on the specific skill sets of various consultants and Mr. Vesak. Mr. Vesak and our various consultants are vital in securing recurring contracts. Our services are marketed to companies within the media industry. Specifically we have customers in the feature film, TV production, and advertising industries. Although there are no geographic limitations on the services we provide, historically our work has primarily been performed in British Columbia, Canada.
The market for our services in the location where we operate is limited and as a consequence less than 10 companies and individuals offer similar services to ours. Our president has a twenty year track record in the industry and based on past experience we believe we have a strong position in the local market. The demand for our services is, however, primarily determined by the general activity in the industries within which we compete and specifically the genre of movies being produced. Historically, action movies have had the highest demand for aerial shooting.
Our specific goal is to expand on our customer base for our services.
Marketing Plan
3
Mr. Vesak is a member of the Directors Guild of Canada (DGC) and the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) and he is listed in their directories for the services we provide. The listings generate contacts and requests from companies and studios requiring film and production services. We have developed a 5-minute corporate awareness DVD of completed American Media Systems' film and media projects. The DVD shows out-takes from TV, feature films, and corporate commercials and showcases the type and quality of services we provide for our clients. The DVD is being distributed independently to advertising agencies and to other prospective clients. It is also warehoused in the DGC library for review by prospective clients.
We intend to expand and diversify our customer base and will produce industry specific material highlighting our value proposition within each industry. Specifically, we will target companies within the real estate development, tourism, transportation, and outdoor recreation industries. All of these industries have relied upon aerial photography to market themselves and their products
Industry
We operate within the film and media industries. Specifically we have provided our services to feature films, TV productions, and advertising companies. Although the total number of media productions within our local market is the primary determinant of demand for our services, the market for aerial cinematography is highly specialized and encompasses only a small component of the total local film and media industries. A fraction of all productions include scenes that involve aerial filming and readers are cautioned from drawing conclusions on the demand for our services based on the total size and development of the film and media industries in British Columbia.
According to the British Columbia Film Commission a total of 211 productions were completed during 2005, up 8.8% from 2004 and 24% from 2003. The sector has seen steady growth over the last 10 years and British Columbia is now the third largest center for movie productions in North America after Los Angeles and New York. In the past the sector was helped by favorable tax credits initiated to attract U.S. productions. According to the British Columbia Film Commission the growth in the industry over the last 5 to 10 years have helped local companies develop expertise that is now sought after internationally. This expertise has made it possible for the industry to continue growing even when faced with a significant rise in the Canadian Dollar against the U.S. Dollar, making productions more expensive for U.S. companies. According to the report from the British Columbia Film Commission the total size of the local fil m industry was CDN $ 1.2 billion in 2005 up from CDN $ 800 million in 2004.
In addition to the film and media industries there is also demand from governments and local and national corporations. Government departments such as the tourism board or local chamber of commerce have sanctioned promotional DVDs that require aerial filming to best showcase an area, city or specific location.
Businesses such as real estate developers, tourism companies, or forestry companies have also on occasion demand for aerial filming. Typically these industrial projects involve filming geographic specific locations for promotional purposes.
Although there are no published statistics on the current size and demand for our services within the government and corporate sectors we believe there is an opportunity to further develop these markets. The provincial government has been reducing taxes and promoting British Columbia as business friendly and a viable location for companies to relocate. The use of aerial cinematography to showcase the province's nature and infrastructure improvements would be an effective promotional supplement in the government's campaign.
Competition
Due to the small size of the market and the high specialization required to provide our services there are no published statistics on the total size or development of the market. We believe there are less than 10 individuals and firms providing this service to the local market and based on our knowledge of the industry we believe we are one of the major providers of aerial cinematography services to the local market. On some projects an aerial cinematographer from outside of the local market is hired, but the standard in the industry is to hire local companies that know the geography and specific attributes of the area. Although this has the effect of protecting some of our local market it also serves to limit our growth opportunities in other geographic areas of the continent.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
4
Our common shares must be considered a speculative investment. Readers should carefully consider the risks described below before deciding whether to invest in shares of our common stock. If we do not successfully address the risks described below, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, and the trading price of our common stock may decline and investors may lose all or part of their investment. We cannot assure any investor that we will successfully address these risks.
The purchase of the common shares involves a number of significant risk factors. Purchasers of common shares should consider the following:
Our auditors have indicated that our inability to generate sufficient revenue raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our audited financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that we will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. However, our auditors have indicated that our inability to generate sufficient revenue raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
There are legal restrictions on the resale of the common shares offered herein, including Penny Stock Regulations under the U.S. Federal Securities Laws. These restrictions may adversely affect the ability of investors to resell their shares. Our Articles do not restrict the sale or transfer of our securities however such sale or transfer must be made in full compliance with applicable state and federal securities laws. Our securities are subject to the penny stock rules, which apply generally to equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share, other than securities registered on certain national exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system. The transaction costs associated with penny stocks are high, reducing the number of broker-dealers willing to engage in the trading of our shares. This results in reduced liquidity and an increase in the spread between the bid and ask price. Investors should be aware that the level of trading activity on the secondary market can be very illiquid and investors may find it expensive and difficult to sell their shares.
To date we have generated limited revenues from operations and we will have additional capital requirements to continue our operations but they might not be available to us on favorable terms or at all, and if unavailable our ability to run our business will be impaired. As of December 31, 2008 we had working capital of $280,819, sufficient to complete our plan of operations for the next 12 months. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenues to cover operating expenses on an ongoing basis or raise additional funds, we will unlikely maintain our business operations.
We have one officer and director and he spends only a portion of his time on our business. Mr. Vesak devotes approximately 75% of his time to the business of the company. He also has a business interest as a Director and Director of Photography and he may establish future business interests that are similar to ours but do not involve us. A conflict of interest may arise between the best interests of our company and the best interests of Mr. Vesak's other business interest. In such a situation where a conflict of interest exists any decision by Mr. Vesak which furthers the best interests of his other business interest may be harmful to our business. Additionally, we have no established parameters or understandings regarding the allocation of present or future business opportunities between us and Mr. Vesak's other business interest.
Our sole officer and director established his own internal controls over our financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures. He is responsible for monitoring these controls and has limited experience that may lead to errors and omissions. Our sole officer and director is responsible for maintaining our financial reporting, including proper accounting records, selecting appropriate accounting principles, safeguarding assets and complying with relevant laws and regulations. His lack of experience may lead to inadequate controls and procedures resulting in errors and omissions that may go undetected and jeopardise the viability of our firm, resulting in the total loss of your investment.
If we lose the services of our President we will be left without management. Mr. Vesak has a thorough knowledge of our business and in particular aerial cinematography. Mr. Vesak is our sole officer and director and the loss of his services and knowledge of our business will likely result in the failure of our business and the total loss of your investment.
Our President has limited experience in financial accounting. Mr Vesak has no prior public company experience and he has limited experience in financial accounting. He is devoting considerable time to the
5
preparation of Exchange Act reporting documents and his lack of experience may result in errors. There can be no assurance that errors made will not cost the company and reduce the value of your investment.
We rely on consultants and if we are unable to retain these or other similarly qualified individuals, we may not be able to carry out our business operations.We are dependent upon service providers, particularly editors, writers, and camera crews. Loss of their services would adversely affect our business and our ability to maintain our operations or develop new products and services. We have not entered into any employment or non-competition agreements with these individuals and do not plan to in the future. Our success will depend on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. If we cannot attract and retain the necessary individuals our operating results will suffer.
We have conducted limited market research on the viability of our service. There is no guarantee that we will be able to sell enough of our service to generate a profit and failure to become profitable will result in the failure of our business.The market for our services is limited in scope and there is no assurance that our services will generate market acceptance and result in profits. The inability to sell our services will result in the failure of our business.
We conduct our business in Canadian currency, the value of which fluctuates against the U.S. dollar.An appreciation in the Canadian dollar against the US dollar will have adverse effects on our business and result of operations. An increase in value of the Canadian dollar versus the US dollar would have a detrimental effect, as expenses incurred would, in turn, increase in US dollars. While certain fluctuation can be expected to continue there can be no assurance that the exchange rate will stabilize at current rates. We have not entered into any currency contracts to hedge against this risk.
Our success depends on our ability to develop, maintain and increase the sales of our services. The inability to establish additional distribution channels, may severely limit our growth prospects. Our business success is completely dependent on our ability to develop, maintain and expand our distribution channels. Revenues derived there from represent vital funds for our continued operations. The loss or damage of any of our business relationships and or revenues derived there from will result in the inability to market our services.

Our services are not dependent on raw materials or suppliers.
Employees and Consultants

Transfer Agent and Registrar

Our transfer agent is Interwest Transfer Co Inc. 1981 East 4800 South, Suite 100 PO Box 17136, Salt Lake City, UT 84117.

| | | | |
Name and Address | Date | Shares | Consideration |
| | | |
Alexander J. Vesak Rosehill Wynd, Delta, BC Canada | Dec 7, 2004 | 1,000,000 | $ | 44,400 |
We issued the foregoing restricted shares of common stock to our present officer and director, Alexander Vesak pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. He was a sophisticated investor, was officers and directors at the time of purchase, and was in possession of all material information relating to the company. Further, no commissions were paid to anyone in connection with the sale of the shares and general solicitation was not made to anyone.
8
This use of proceeds information is being disclosed pursuant to our SB-2 registration statement file # 333-123164 and # 333-143464 declared effective on July 15, 2005 and July 7, 2007, respectively. The first offering commenced on July 16, 2005 and was terminated on October 3, 2005 with 1,000,000 shares of common stock issued and $50,000 raised.
Pursuant to the SB-2 registration statement we registered 2,000,000 shares for sale by the issuer for maximum proceeds of $100,000 of which 1,000,000 shares were sold for total proceeds of $50,000.
There was no underwriter in the offering and no funds have been paid for underwriting discounts or commissions, finders' fees, or to underwriters in connection with the offering.
We have paid total expenses of $10,787 including legal, audit, and transfer agent fees. All these fees were paid directly by the issuer and none of the fees were paid to a director, officer, 10% security owners, or any individual or firm with insider or related party affiliation with the issuer.
Net proceeds to the issuer after taking account of expense related to the registration statement were $39,213. From the effective date to December 31, 2007 the issuer has used 35,018 for rent, general legal, and office expenses and $4,195 for production of DVDs for a total of $39,213 of the net offering proceeds.
The second offering commenced on July 8, 2007 and was terminated on December 15, 2007 with 8,000,000 shares of common stock issued and $400,000 raised.
There was no underwriter in the offering and no funds have been paid for underwriting discounts or commissions, finders' fees, or to underwriters in connection with the offering.
No funds from this offering had been utilized at December 31, 2008.
Penny Stock
The Securities Exchange Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker"s or dealer"s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with res pect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of the Securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and; (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the Commission shall require by rule or regulation.
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, because our common stock is subject to the penny stock rules, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.
9
Our securities consist of common stock with a par value of $0.00001 per share. On January 27th, 2006 we affected a stock split of our common stock on a 2 for 1 basis. On September 29th, 2006 we affected a reverse split of our common stock on a 1 for 2 basis. Our authorized capital is 50,000,000 common shares of which 10,000,000 common shares are issued and outstanding as of April 14, 2008. All of our common stock, issued and unissued, is of the same class and ranks equally as to dividends, voting powers and participation in our assets on a winding-up or dissolution. No common shares have been issued subject to call or assessment. Each common share is entitled to one vote with respect to the election of directors and other matters. The shares of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights.
Therefore, the holders of a majority of shares voting for the election of directors can elect all the directors then standing for election, if they chose to do so, and in such event the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any directors. Our President currently beneficially owns 10.1% of the outstanding shares of the company's common stock and is in a position to influence all matters subject to stockholder vote. See "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management."
The common shares have no preemptive or conversion rights, and no provisions for redemption, purchase for cancellation, surrender of sinking fund or purchase fund.
Neither our Articles of Incorporation nor our Bylaws contain specific provisions that would delay, defer or prevent a change in control. However, approximately 40,000,000 million common stock shares are authorized but unissued as of April 14, 2008. All of such authorized but unissued shares will be available for future issuance by the Board of Directors without additional shareholder approval. These additional shares may be used for a variety of purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital or to facilitate acquisitions. One of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved common stock may be to enable the Board of Directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of American Media Systems by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of management. Such additional shares also could be used to dilute the stock ownership of persons seeking to obtain control of American Media Systems.
Preferred Stock
Our articles of incorporation do not authorize any shares of preferred stock.
Share Purchase Warrants
We have not issued and do not have outstanding any warrants to purchase shares of our common stock.
Options
We have not issued and do not have outstanding any options to purchase shares of our common stock.
Convertible Securities
We have not issued and do not have outstanding any securities convertible into shares of our common stock or any rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of our common stock.
Nevada Anti-Takeover Laws
Nevada Revised Statutes sections 78.378 to 78.379 provide state regulation over the acquisition of a controlling interest in certain Nevada corporations unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation provide that the provisions of these sections do not apply. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not state that these provisions do not apply. The statute creates a number of restrictions on the ability of a person or entity to acquire control of a Nevada company by setting down certain rules of conduct and voting restrictions in any acquisition attempt, among other things.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
Not required as the Company is a small business issuer, in accordance with Section 12(b)-2 of the Act.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
(a) Plan of operation
Our plan of operations for the next 12 months is to continue our business of providing aerial cinematography services to the film and advertising industries and to diversify into government and corporate sectors. We feel that we are well positioned to take advantage of any growth in the local film industry. The funds contemplated in this prospectus will be utilized to pay general working capital expenses such as, but not limited to, office, audit and legal fees. We will also utilize the funds to market our services by customizing our corporate awareness DVD to specific sectors within the economy. We will target those sectors that we believe are poised for growth and could benefit the greatest from our services. We anticipate that this work will require additional consulting, legal, and travel and related expenses as we continue expanding our customer base.
(b) Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
During the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, we incurred a net loss of $82,378 (2007 - loss of $63,495). The major components to expenses faced by the company during the year were consulting fees of $57,340 (2007 - $54,513), audit fees of $6,804 (2007 - $3,878), legal fees of $5,110 (2007 - $852), depreciation of $4,675 (2007 - $6,107), transfer agent fees of $4,067 (2007 - $3,161), bank charges, penalties, and interest of $1,265 (2007 - $1,460), , and rent of $250 (2007 - $250). The balance of our expenses during 2008 were telephone and communication of $14 (2007 - $-572) and loss on foreign exchange of $2,853 (2007 - gain of $4,549).
As of December 31, 2008 the Company has cash of $433,885 (2007 - $446,598), $10,776 in accounts payable (2007 - $3,560), $2,961 in sales and corporate income taxes receivable (2007 - of $3,135), $ 144,251 due to a related party (2007 - $86,651), and loan payable of $1,000 (2007 - $1,000). There is no long-term debt. The Company may in the future invest in short-term investments from time to time but there can be no assurance that these investments will result in profit or loss.
Our future growth and success will be dependent on our ability to market our services to the film and advertising industries. If we cannot succeed in generating consistent sales then our prospects for growth are substantially undermined.
No engineering, management or similar report has been prepared or provided for external use in connection with the offer of our securities to the public.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the 12 months ended December 31, 2007 we secured $400,000 in capital through the issuing of 8,000,000 common stock pursuant to our SB-2 registration statement which was declared effective on July 7th, 2007.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 we divested our DVD production segment to focus on our aerial cinematography services.
At December 31, 2008 our current assets totalled $436,846 compared to $449,733 at the beginning of the fiscal year. Our current assets at December 31, 2008 consisted $433,885 in cash, and sales tax recoverable of $2,961. At December 31, 2007 our current assets consisted of $449,733 in cash, $3,135 in sales tax recoverable. Our current liabilities at December 31, 2008 were $156,027 (2007 - $91,211). Cash on hand is currently our only source of liquidity. We do not have any lending arrangements in place with banking or financial institutions and we do not anticipate that we will be able to secure these funding arrangements in the near future.
We believe our existing cash balance is sufficient to carry out our normal operations for the next twelve months. Any sale of additional equity securities will result in dilution to our stockholders. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to our company or on acceptable terms.
We do not expect any significant purchases of plant and equipment or any increase in the number of employees in the near future.

(c) Off-blance sheet arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders:
American Media Systems Co.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of American Media Systems Co (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and for the period from December 6, 2004 (Date of Inception) to December 31, 2008. 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 audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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 the Company as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and for the period from December 6, 2004 (Date of Inception) to December 31, 2008 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 Unites 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 yet to reach profitable levels of operation, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to their planned financing and other matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

American Media Systems Co
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2008
NOTE 1 - NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 6, 2004. The Company is a startup film and production company that specializes in television and feature film aerial cinematography. On May 31, 2006 the Company sold its instructional DVD segment.
The Company does not generate sufficient cash flow from operations to fund its activities and has therefore relied principally upon the issuance of securities for financing. The Company intends to continue relying upon the issuance of securities to finance its operations and development activities, however there can be no assurance it will be successful in raising the funds necessary to maintain operations, or that a self-supporting level of operations will ever be achieved. The likely outcome of these future events is indeterminable. These factors together raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustment to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of the assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
From the date of incorporation, December 6, 2004 until January 31, 2006, the Company was designated a development stage company, as it was devoting substantially all of its efforts to establishing a new business and although planned principal operations had commenced, there had not been significant revenue therefrom. On January 31, 2006, management thought that significant revenues would be commencing and as a result, ceased designating the Company as a development stage company. In retrospect, management now believes that designation to be premature, as significant revenues never materialized and the Company continues to devote most of its time in developing its markets. Accordingly, management has re-designated the Company a development stage company and has reclassified all of its operations since its inception to be that of a development stage company. There are no accounts or disclosures that have to be restated as a result of this re-designation.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Year End
The Company has elected a December 31st fiscal year end. The accompanying financial statements cover the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
(b) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of American Media Systems Co., a Nevada incorporated company, and American Media Systems Canada, Ltd. a British Columbia incorporated company. American Media Systems Co. owns 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of American Media Systems Canada Ltd. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.
(c) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As at December 31, 2008 the Company did not have any cash equivalents (2007 – $nil). As at December 31, 2008, $13,181 was deposited in accounts that were federally insured (2007 - $18,910).

American Media Systems Co
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2008
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
(d Equipment
Equipment is initially recorded at cost and amortized to operations over its estimated useful life at the following amortization rates and methods:
| |
Computer equipment | 30% declining balance per annum |
Furniture and fixtures | 20% declining balance per annum |
Video production equipment | 20% declining balance per annum |
Equipment is written down to its net realizable value if it is determined that its carrying value exceeds the estimated future benefits to the Company.
(e) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when the following criteria have been met:
i.
the Company has obtained a contract or a written request from the customer;
ii.
the Company has provided its services to the customer;
iii.
the Company is reasonably assured that the revenue is collectible.
(f) Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses were $nil for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
(g) Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs relating to both present and future products are charged to operations as incurred.
(h) Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock options and similar equity instruments issued in accordance with SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and SFAS No. 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure", an amendment to SFAS No. 123. Accordingly, compensation costs attributable to stock options or similar equity instruments granted to employees are measured at the fair value at the grant date, and expensed over the expected vesting period with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital. Transactions in which goods or services are received from non-employees in exchange for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. As at December 31, 2008 the Company has not issued any stock option s or similar equity instruments.
(i) Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share on the potential exercise of the equity-based financial instruments is not presented where anti-dilutive.

American Media Systems Co
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2008
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(j) Comprehensive Income
In accordance with SFAS 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"), comprehensive income consists of net income and other gains and losses affecting stockholder's equity that are excluded from net income, such as unrealized gains and losses on investments available for sale, foreign currency translation gains and losses and minimum pension liability. For the year ended December 31, 2008 the Company's financial statements include none of the additional elements that affect comprehensive income. Accordingly, net income and comprehensive income are identical.
(k) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
(l) Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable, and advances from a related party. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair value based on their liquidity or their short-term nature.
(m) Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, all expected future events other than enactment of changes in the tax laws or rates are considered.
Due to the uncertainty regarding the Company's future profitability, the future tax benefits of its losses have been fully reserved for and no net tax benefit has been recorded in the financial statements during the period presented.
(n) Impairment of Long-Live Assets and Long-Live Assets to be Disposed of
SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which superseded SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," among other items, establishes procedures for review of recoverability, and measurement of impairment whenever events or
SFAS No. 144 also requires that long-lived assets to be disposed of other than by sale shall continue to be classified as held and used until disposal. Further, SFAS No. 144 specifies the criteria for classifying long-lived assets as "held for sale" and requires that long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale be reported as the lower of carrying amount or fair value less estimated selling costs. Management believes that there has not been any impairment of the Company's long-lived assets as at December 31, 2008.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
There have not been any disagreements with the auditor on any audit or accounting issues.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of December 31, 2008. Due to the omission of the report on internal control over financial reporting for the December 31, 2008 year end, our Director, Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Management has made changes to our disclosure controls and procedures in an effort to ensure that all requirements of the Exchange Act are met in future disclosure documents.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the (i) effectiveness and efficiency of operations, (ii) reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and (iii) compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Our internal controls framework is based on the criteria set forth in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
26
Management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting is as of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. We believe that our internal control over financial reporting is effective. We have not identified any current material weaknesses considering the nature and extent of our current operations.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.
CEO and CFO Certifications
Appearing immediately following the Signatures section of this report there are Certifications of the CEO and the CFO. The Certifications are required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Section 302 Certifications). This Item of this report, which you are currently reading is the information concerning the Evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certifications and this information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention of overriding controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2008. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) inInternal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of December 31, 2008, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation
27
by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

We are not directly or indirectly owned or controlled by a corporation or foreign government. As of March 29, 2009, we had an authorized share capital of 50,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.00001 per share of which 10,000,000 shares are issued and outstanding.
The following table sets forth, as of March 29, 2009, the beneficial shareholdings of persons or entities holding five per cent or more of our common stock, each director individually, each named executive officer and all of our directors and officers as a group. Each person has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of Common Stock shown, and all ownership is of record and beneficial.
