PART I
Forward-Looking Statements.
This report contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are projections in respect of future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “intends”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential”, or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in Item 1A “Risk Factors” commencing on page 5 of this report, which may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity or performance to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity or performance expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity or performance. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
In this report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars and all references to “common shares” refer to the common shares in our capital stock.
As used in this report and unless otherwise indicated, the terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Lions Gate Lighting Corp., and the term “LG Lighting” means LG Lighting Corp.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
We were incorporated on May 2, 2005, in the State of Nevada. LG Lighting is our wholly-owned subsidiary which we incorporated as a British Columbia company on May 11, 2005. The results of operations of LG Lighting have been consolidated with the results of operations of our company. Following incorporation, we commenced the business of marketing lighting products and accessories throughout our target markets of North America.
Current Business
On August 31, 2007, our sole distribution agreement with Sunway Lighting terminated. Following that date, we have operated without a supplier of lighting products and accessories. To date, we have been unsuccessful in entering into an agreement with a new supplier in order to resume our business of selling and marketing lighting technology products. Consequently, we are pursuing alternate business opportunities in order to maximize shareholder value. Such opportunities may involve entities outside of the lighting technology business. We may seek a business opportunity with entities that have recently commenced operations, or entities who wish to utilize the public marketplace in order to raise additional capital to expand business development activities, to develop a new product or service or for other corporate purposes. We may acquire assets and establish wholly-owned subsidiaries in various businesses or acquire existing businesses as subsidiaries. In certain instances, a target business may wish to become a subsidiary of us or may wish to contribute assets to us rather than merge.
In implementing a structure for a particular business acquisition or opportunity, we may become a party to a merger, consolidation, reorganization, joint venture, or licensing agreement with another corporation or entity. We may also acquire stock or assets of an existing business. Upon the consummation of a transaction, it is possible that our present management will no longer be in control of our company. In addition, it is possible that our officers and directors will, as part of the terms of the acquisition transaction, resign and be replaced by one or more new officers and directors.
We anticipate that any new acquisitions or business opportunities by our company will require additional financing. If our company requires additional financing and we are unable to acquire such funds, our business may fail.
As of the date hereof, management has not entered into any formal written agreements for a business combination or opportunity. When any such agreement is reached, we intend to disclose such an agreement by filing a current report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
- 3 -
We anticipate that the selection of a business opportunity in which to participate will be complex and without certainty of success. Management believes that there are numerous firms in various industries seeking the perceived benefits of being a publicly registered corporation. Business opportunities may be available in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to locate compatible business opportunities.
Competition
We have been engaged in the business of marketing lighting products and accessories throughout our target markets of North America. To date, we have not been as successful as hoped in implementing our business. Consequently, we are now pursuing alternate business opportunities, including opportunities with entities in sectors outside of the lighting technology business. We are competing with other companies for both the acquisition of prospective businesses and the financing necessary to develop such businesses. In seeking out alternate business opportunities, we have encountered intense competition as we compete directly with other development stage companies as well as established international companies. Many of our competitors have far greater resources, capital and access to information than us. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on the acquisition and development of a business. This competition could result in our competitors obtaining businesses of greater quality and attracting prospective investors to finance the development of such businesses on more favorable terms. As a result of this competition, we may become involved in an acquisition with more risk or obtain financing on less favorable terms.
Employees
Our company is currently operated by Robert Fraser as our President and Chief Executive Officer and William Grossholz as our Secretary and Treasurer. We periodically hire independent contractors to execute our marketing, sales, and business development functions. Our company may hire employees when circumstances warrant. At present, however, our company does not anticipate hiring employees in the near future.
Intellectual Property
We do not own any intellectual property.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Risks Related to our Business
Much of the information included in this annual report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include any projections and estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein.
Such estimates, projections or other forward-looking statements involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other forward-looking statements.
On August 31, 2007, our sole distribution agreement with Sunway Lighting terminated. Since then, we have operated without a supplier of lighting products and accessories. We have been unsuccessful in entering into an agreement with a new supplier and consequently are now pursuing alternate business opportunities. There is no assurance that we will be successful in finding such an opportunity.
Our supplier agreement with our former sole supplier, Sunway Lighting Technology, was terminated on August 31, 2007. To date, we have not been successful in establishing a relationship with a new supplier. Consequently, we have determined to pursue alternate business opportunities in order to maximize shareholder value. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to locate compatible business opportunities. In the event that we do identify a potential business
- 4 -
opportunity, we will incur substantial expenses in the acquisition and development of such business. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from our activities, our entire business may fail. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will be successful in our pursuit of a new business opportunity. Even if we are able to acquire a new business opportunity, there is no assurance that we will generate any revenues or that revenues generated will be sufficient to provide a return to investors.
The worldwide macroeconomic downturn may reduce the ability of our company to obtain the financing necessary to continue our business and may reduce the number of viable businesses that we may wish to acquire.
In 2008 and 2009, there has been a downturn in general worldwide economic conditions due to many factors, including the effects of the subprime lending and general credit market crises, volatile but generally declining energy costs, slower economic activity, decreased consumer confidence and commodity prices, reduced corporate profits and capital spending, adverse business conditions, increased unemployment and liquidity concerns. In addition, these macroeconomic effects, including the resulting recession in various countries and slowing of the global economy, will likely result in decreased business opportunities as potential target companies face increased financial hardship. Tightening credit and liquidity issues will also result in increased difficulties for our company to raise capital for our continued operations and to consummate a business opportunity with a viable business.
We have had minimal revenues from operations and if we are not able to obtain further financing we may be forced to scale back or cease operations or our business operations may fail.
To date we have not generated significant income from our operations and we have been dependent on sales of our equity securities to meet the majority of our cash requirements. We generated no revenue from the sale of lighting and signage products during the fiscal years ended February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008. As at February 28, 2009, we had cash of $7,895 and a working capital deficiency of $64,234. We do not expect to generate cash flow from operations in the foreseeable future. We estimate that we will require between $30,000 and $70,000 to carry out our business plan for the next twelve month period. Accordingly, we will require additional funds, either from equity or debt financing, to maintain our daily operations and to locate, acquire and develop a prospective business opportunity. Obtaining additional financing is subject to a number of factors, including investor acceptance of any business we may acquire in the future and investor sentiment. Financing, therefore, may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. The most likely source of future funds presently available to us is through the sale of equity capital. Any sale of share capital, however, will result in dilution to existing shareholders. If we are unable to raise additional funds when required, we may be forced to delay potential business acquisitions and our entire business may fail.
The fact that we have only generated limited revenues since our incorporation raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, as indicated in our independent auditors’ report in connection with our audited consolidated financial statements.
We have generated limited revenues since our inception on May 2, 2005. At February 28, 2009, our independent auditors’ report includes an explanatory paragraph about our ability to continue as a going concern. We will, in all likelihood, continue to incur operating expenses without revenues until we acquire and develop a new business opportunity. We estimate our average monthly operating expenses to be between $2,500 and $5,833 per month. We will not be able to effectively pursue a new business opportunity without obtaining further financing. Our primary source of funds has been the sale of our common stock. If we cannot attract additional financing, we will not be able to acquire and develop a new business opportunity or generate any significant revenues or income. If we are unable to establish and generate material revenues, or obtain adequate future financing, our business will fail and you may lose some or all of your investment in our common stock. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as described in an explanatory paragraph to our independent auditors’ report on the financial statements for the period ended February 28, 2009.
We will need to raise additional funds in the near future. If we are not able to obtain future financing when required, we might be forced to scale back or cease operations or discontinue our business.
We do not currently have any arrangements for financing and we can provide no assurance to investors we will be able to find such financing when such funding is required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including investor acceptance. Furthermore, there is no assurance that we will not incur further debt in the future, that we
- 5 -
will have sufficient funds to repay our future indebtedness or that we will not default on our future debts, thereby jeopardizing our business viability. Finally, we may not be able to borrow or raise additional capital in the future to meet our needs or to otherwise provide the capital necessary to pursue a new business opportunity, which might result in the loss of some or all of your investment in our common stock.
Our company anticipates that our funds will not be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve month period. Also, there is no assurance that actual cash requirements will not exceed our estimates. We will depend almost exclusively on outside capital to pay for the continued operation of our company. Such outside capital may include the sale of additional stock, shareholder advances and/or commercial borrowing. There can be no assurance that capital will continue to be available if necessary to meet these continuing development costs or, if the capital is available, that it will be on terms acceptable to us. The issuance of additional equity securities by us will result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. If we are unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable to us, we may be forced to delay a new business acquisition or our entire business may fail.
All of our directors and officers are engaged in other business activities and accordingly may not devote sufficient time to our business affairs, which may affect our ability to conduct operations and generate revenues.
All of our directors and officers are involved in other business activities. Robert Fraser, our Chief Executive Officer, President and director spends approximately 2 hours per week, or 5%, of his business time on the management of our company and William Grossholz, our Secretary, Treasurer and director, spends approximately 2 hours per week, or 5%, of his business time on the management of our company. As a result of their other business endeavours, Mr. Fraser and Mr. Grossholz may not be able to devote sufficient time to our business affairs, which may negatively affect our ability to conduct our ongoing operations and our ability to generate revenues. In addition, the management of our company may be periodically interrupted or delayed as a result of Mr. Fraser’s or Mr. Grossholz’s other business interests.
All of our assets and all of our directors and officers are outside the United States, with the result that it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against us or any of our directors or officers.
All of our assets are located outside the United States and we do not currently maintain a permanent place of business within the United States. In addition, all of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons’ assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against us or our officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. Consequently, you may be effectively prevented from pursuing remedies under U.S. federal securities laws against them.
Because our officers, directors and principal shareholders control a large percentage of our common stock, such insiders have the ability to influence matters affecting our shareholders.
Our officers and directors, in the aggregate, beneficially own 32.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. As a result, they have the ability to influence matters affecting our shareholders, including the election of our directors, the acquisition or disposition of our assets, and the future issuance of our shares. Because our officers, directors and principal shareholders control such shares, investors may find it difficult to replace our management if they disagree with the way our business is being operated. Because the influence by these insiders could result in management making decisions that are in the best interest of those insiders and not in the best interest of the investors, you may lose some or all of the value of your investment in our common stock.
Because we do not have sufficient insurance to cover our business losses, we might have uninsured losses, increasing the possibility that you would lose your investment.
We may incur uninsured liabilities and losses as a result of the conduct of our business. We do not currently maintain any comprehensive liability or property insurance. Even if we obtain such insurance in the future, we may not carry sufficient insurance coverage to satisfy potential claims. We do not carry any business interruption insurance. Should uninsured losses occur, any purchasers of our common stock could lose their entire investment.
- 6 -
Because we can issue additional common shares, purchasers of our common stock may incur immediate dilution and may experience further dilution.
We are authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 common shares, of which 7,450,000 are issued and outstanding. Our board of directors has the authority to cause our company to issue additional shares of common stock without the consent of any of our shareholders. Consequently, our shareholders may experience more dilution in their ownership of our company in the future.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMMON STOCK
Because we do not intend to pay any dividends on our common shares, investors seeking dividend income or liquidity should not purchase shares.
We do not currently anticipate declaring and paying dividends to our shareholders in the near future. It is our current intention to apply net earnings, if any, in the foreseeable future to increasing our working capital. Prospective investors seeking or needing dividend income or liquidity should, therefore, not purchase our common stock. We currently have no revenues and a history of losses, so there can be no assurance that we will ever have sufficient earnings to declare and pay dividends to the holders of our shares, and in any event, a decision to declare and pay dividends is at the sole discretion of our board of directors, who currently do not intend to pay any dividends on our common shares for the foreseeable future.
Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s penny stock regulations which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these 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 agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
Executive Offices
Our principal office is located at Suite 600 – 999 West Hastings Street, Vancouver British Columbia V6C 2W2. Directors of our company provide us with the use of approximately 200 square feet of office space at no cost. We have never paid nor been charged rent for the use of these premises. We believe our current premises are adequate for our current operations and we do not anticipate that we will require any additional premises in the foreseeable future. When and if we require additional space, we intend to move at that time.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
We know of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

Results of Operations for the Fiscal Years ended February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008
During the years ended February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008, we generated no revenue. On August 31, 2007, our sole supplier agreement with Sunway Lighting terminated. To date, we have been unsuccessful in entering into an agreement with a new supplier in order to resume our business of selling and marketing lighting technology products. Consequently, our company is pursuing alternate business opportunities in order to maximize shareholder value. Such opportunities may involve opportunities with entities outside of the lighting technology business. We may seek a business opportunity with entities that have recently commenced operations, or entities who wish to utilize the public marketplace in order to raise additional capital to expand business development activities, to develop a new product or service or for other corporate purposes. We may acquire assets and establish wholly-owned subsidiaries in various businesses or acquire existing businesses as subsidiaries. In certain instances, a target business may wish to become a subsidiary of us or may wish to contribute assets to us rather than merge.
We anticipate that any new acquisitions or business opportunities by our company will require additional financing. If we require additional financing and we are unable to acquire such funds, our business may fail. Even if we are able to acquire a new business opportunity, there is no assurance that we will generate any revenues or that revenues generated will be sufficient to provide a return to investors.
During the year ended February 28, 2009, our operating expenses totaled $19,814, compared to $19,833 for year ended February 29, 2008. We reported a loss from operations of $19,814 for the year ended February 28, 2009, compared to a loss from operations of $19,833 for the year ended February 29, 2008. Management anticipates that expenses will remain relatively constant until we enter into a distribution agreement and recommence business operations or until we identify and consummate an alternate business opportunity. During the years ended February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008, we incurred $19,814 and $19,833 in general and administration expenses, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Presently, our revenue is not sufficient to meet our operating and capital expenses. Management projects that we will require additional funding to expand our current operations. In addition, there is some doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have incurred operating losses since inception, and this is likely to continue for the next twelve month period. Management projects that we may require an additional $30,000 to $70,000 to fund our operating expenditures for the next twelve month period. Projected working capital requirements for the next twelve month period, are broken down as follows:
Estimated Working Capital Expenditures During the Next Twelve Month Period | |
Operating expenditures | |
Marketing and Consultant Costs | $ 4,000 - $ 25,000 |
Office and General Expenses | $ 5,000 - $ 8,000 |
Professional Fees | $ 15,000 - $ 25,000 |
Website development costs | $ 1,000 - $ 2,000 |
Working capital | $ 5,000 - $ 10,000 |
Total | $ 30,000 - $ 70,000 |
Our cash on hand as at February 28, 2009 was $7,895. As at February 28, 2009, we had a working capital deficiency of $64,234. We require funds to enable us to address our minimum current and ongoing expenses and identify and acquire an alternate business opportunity. We anticipate that our cash on hand will not be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve month period. We plan to raise any such additional capital primarily through the private placement of our securities.
We will incur additional expenses if we are successful in entering into an agreement to acquire a new business opportunity. In the event that we do acquire such a business, we will require significant funds to develop the business in addition to any
- 10 -
acquisition costs. It is not possible to estimate such funding requirements until such time as we enter into a definitive agreement to acquire an interest in a business or enter into a business combination.
Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, in their report on our audited annual financial statements for the period ended February 28, 2009, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that led to this disclosure by our independent auditors. There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as the continuation of our business is dependent upon our company locating and acquiring a business opportunity and achieving a profitable level of operation. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
The financial requirements of our company for the next twelve months are primarily dependent upon the financial support through credit facilities of our directors and additional private placements of our equity securities to our directors and shareholders or new shareholders. The issuance of additional equity securities by us may result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current shareholders. Even though our company has determined that we may not have sufficient working capital for the next twelve month period, our company has not yet pursued such financing options. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations or that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations. We do not currently have any plans to merge with another company, and we have not entered into any agreements or understandings for any such merger.
Operating Activities
Operating activities used cash of $20,556 for the year ended February 28, 2009, compared to $25,692 for the year ended February 29, 2008. The decrease in cash used in operating activities during the year ended February 28, 2009 was proportional to our decreased business activity during this period resulting from the termination of our sole supplier agreement with Sunway Lighting.
Investing Activities
We did not incur any investing activities for the years ended February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008.
Financing Activities
Financing activities provided cash of $10,795 for the year ended February 28, 2009 and cash of $34,757 for the year ended February 29, 2008. Financing activities were raised solely from related parties during the years ended February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008.
Purchase or Sale of Equipment
We do not anticipate that we will expend any significant amount on equipment for our present or future operations. We may purchase computer hardware and software for our ongoing operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Our company has no outstanding derivative financial instruments, off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. Our company does not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.
APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the
- 11 -
estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our consolidated financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financials.
Going Concern
The audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended February 28, 2009 included with this annual report were prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that adequate sources of financing will be obtained as required and that our assets will be realized and liabilities settled in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, the audited financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
In order to continue as a going concern, we require additional financing. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to continue as a going concern, we would likely be unable to realize the carrying value of our assets reflected in the balances set out in our financial statements.
NEW ACCOUNTING POLICIES
As of February 28, 2009, there were no new accounting policies that will materially effect our company.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lions Gate Lighting, Corp. and Subsidiary (A Development Stage Company) at February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008 and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the years ended February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008 and for the period September 1, 2007 (commencement of Development Stage) to February 28, 2009 and stockholders' equity for the period May 2, 2005 (date of inception) to February 28, 2009. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lions Gate Lighting, Inc. and Subsidiary at February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008 and the results of operations and cash flows for the years ended February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008 and for the period September 1, 2007 (commencement of Development Stage) to February 28, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company will need additional working capital for its planned activity and to service its debt, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are described in the notes to the financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008 |
(Stated in US Dollars) |
Note 1 | Nature and Continuance of Operations |
Organization and Nature of Business | |
Lions Gate Lighting Corp. was incorporated on May 2, 2005, in the State of Nevada. LG Lighting Corp. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lions Gate Lighting Corp. LG Lighting Corp. was incorporated on May 11, 2005, in the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The results of operations of LG Lighting Corp. have been consolidated with the results of operations of Lions Gate Lighting Corp. The consolidated entity is referred to as the Company. The Company marketed lighting products throughout North America until August 31, 2007 at which time its sole supplier terminated the distribution agreement with the Company. The Company is currently exploring opportunities and relationships with alternate suppliers of lighting products. Consequently, as at September 1, 2007 the Company became classified as a development stage Company. | |
The Company’s fiscal year end is February 29. | |
Going Concern | |
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next fiscal year. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At February 28, 2009, the Company does not have sufficient working capital to support its planned operations and service its debts for the next fiscal year, had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $129,777 since its inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management has no formal plan in place to address this concern but considers that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds by equity financing and/or related party advances, however there is no assurance of additional funding being available. |

Note 2 | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Use of Estimates | |
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could vary from those estimates. | |
Basis of Consolidation | |
These consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and operating results of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, LG Lighting Corp. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. | |
Financial Instruments | |
The carrying amounts of financial instruments consisting of cash, accounts payable and due to related parties are considered by management to be their estimated fair values due to their short-term maturities. The Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risk arising from its financial instruments. | |
Income Taxes | |
Income taxes are recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, whereby deferred income tax liabilities or assets at the end of each period are determined by applying currently enacted tax rates to temporary differences and loss carry forwards. A valuation allowance is recognized on deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of these deferred tax assets will not be realized. | |
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share | |
In accordance with SFAS No. 128 “Earnings Per Share”, the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased where the effects of options, warrants or other common stock equivalents are dilutive. | |
At February 28, 2009, basic and diluted loss per share are equal because there are no outstanding common stock equivalents. |

Foreign Exchange | |
The Company’s functional currency is in Canadian dollars as substantially all of the Company’s operations are in Canada. The Company used the United States dollar as its reporting currency for consistency with registrants of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in accordance with the FAS No. 52 “Foreign Currency Translation”. | |
Assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the period-end and capital accounts are translated at historical rates. Income statement accounts are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included in the comprehensive income account in Stockholder’s Equity, if applicable. | |
Revenue Recognition | |
The Company recognizes revenue on the sale and delivery of the product to the customer and when collection is reasonably assured. | |
Advertising and Market Development | |
The Company expenses advertising and market development costs as incurred. | |
Financial and Concentration Risk | |
The Company does not have any concentration or related financial credit risk. | |
Note 3 | Related Party Transactions |
| |
As at February 28, 2009, due to related parties consists of advances from directors totalling $68,673 (2008: $57,878). These advances are unsecured, do not bear interest and have no fixed terms of repayment. | |

Future income tax asset, net | $ | - | $ | - |
The amount taken into income as deferred tax assets must reflect that portion of the income tax loss carryforwards that is more likely than not to be realized from future operations. The Company has chosen to provide an allowance of 100% against all available income tax loss carryforwards, regardless of their time of expiry.
At February 28, 2009, the Company has accumulated non-capital losses totalling $129,777 which are available to reduce taxable income in future taxation years. These losses expire between 2016 and 2028. The non-capital losses expire as follows:

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures would meet their objectives.
As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control — Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Our system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Management has used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control-Integrated Framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, known as COSO, to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of February 28, 2009.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by our independent 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.
There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Audit Committee
Our board of directors struck an audit committee on May 15, 2009. Following this date, Robert Fraser and William Grossholz have acted as the interim members of the audit committee. None of the members of the audit committee are independent as defined by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15) or National Instrument 52-110 as adopted by the British Columbia Securities Commission. The audit committee is directed to review the scope, cost and results of the independent audit of our books and records, the results of the annual audit with management and the adequacy of our accounting, financial and operating controls; to recommend annually to the board of directors the selection of the independent registered accountants; to consider proposals made by the independent registered chartered accountants for consulting work; and to report to the board of directors, when so requested, on any accounting or financial matters. The board of directors adopted its charter for the audit committee on May 15, 2009.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
Our board of directors has determined that our company has one audit committee financial expert serving on the audit committee, which person is William Grossholz who is a chartered accountant.
Nomination Procedures For Appointment of Directors
As of May 15, 2009, we did not effect any material changes to the procedures by which our shareholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors. Our board of directors does not have a policy with regards to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by our shareholders. Our board of directors has determined that it is in the best position to evaluate our company’s requirements as well as the qualifications of each candidate when the board considers a nominee for a position on our board of directors. If shareholders wish to recommend candidates directly to our board, they may do so by sending communications to the president of our company at the address on the cover of this annual report.
Code of Ethics
Our company’s board of directors adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to, among other persons, our company’s president, secretary and treasurer (being our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), as well as persons performing similar functions. As adopted, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
1. | honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; |
2. | full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by us; |
3. | compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations; |
4. | the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; and |
5. | accountability for adherence to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. |
Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires, among other things, that all of our company’s personnel shall be accorded full access to our president, secretary and treasurer with respect to any matter which may arise relating to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Further, all of our company’s personnel are to be accorded full access to our company’s board of directors if any such matter involves an alleged breach of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by our president, secretary and treasurer.
In addition, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics emphasizes that all employees, and particularly managers and/or supervisors, have a responsibility for maintaining financial integrity within our company, consistent with
- 26 -
generally accepted accounting principles, and federal, provincial and state securities laws. Any employee who becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting manipulation or other irregularities, whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to his or her immediate supervisor or to our company’s president, secretary and treasurer. If the incident involves an alleged breach of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by the president, secretary and treasurer, the incident must be reported to any member of our board of directors. Any failure to report such inappropriate or irregular conduct of others is to be treated as a severe disciplinary matter. It is against our company policy to retaliate against any individual who reports in good faith the violation or potential violation of our company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.
Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is filed as Exhibit 14.1 to our annual report on Form 10-QSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2007. We will provide a copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to any person without charge, upon request. Requests can be sent to: Lions Gate Lighting Corp., Suite 600 – 999 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC V6C 2W2.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Compliance
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 fiscal year ended February 28, 2009, all filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than 10% percent beneficial owners were complied with.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
There are no arrangements or plans in which we provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for directors or executive officers. Our directors and executive officers may receive stock options at the discretion of our board of directors in the future. 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 of directors from time to time. 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.
Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End
As at February 28, 2009, we had not adopted any equity compensation plan and no stock, options, or other equity securities were awarded to our executive officers.

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.

The following table sets forth certain information known to us with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of that date by (i) each of our directors, (ii) each of our executive officers, and (iii) all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

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. 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. |
Changes in Control
We are unaware of any contract or other arrangement the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change of control of our company.
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.
Other than as listed below, no director, officer, principal shareholder holding at least 5% of our common shares, or any family member thereof, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or proposed transaction, since the beginning of our last fiscal year ended February 28, 2009, in which the amount involved in the transaction exceeded or exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last three completed fiscal years.

Corporate Governance
Director Independence
We currently have two directors, consisting of Robert Fraser and William Grossholz. As both persons are executive officers of our company, we have determined that none of our directors are independent directors, as that term is used in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules and National Instrument 52-110.
Audit Committee
Our board of directors struck an audit committee on May 15, 2009. Following this date, Robert Fraser and William Grossholz have acted as the interim members of the audit committee. None of the members of the audit committee are independent as defined by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15) or National Instrument 52-110 as adopted by the British Columbia Securities Commission. The audit committee is directed to review the scope, cost and results of the independent audit of our books and records, the results of the annual audit with management and the adequacy of
- 29 -
our accounting, financial and operating controls; to recommend annually to the board of directors the selection of the independent registered accountants; to consider proposals made by the independent registered chartered accountants for consulting work; and to report to the board of directors, when so requested, on any accounting or financial matters. The board of directors adopted its charter for the audit committee on May 15, 2009.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
Our board of directors has determined that our company has one audit committee financial expert serving on the audit committee, which person is William Grossholz who is a chartered accountant.
Compensation Committee – Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
Our board of directors acts as our compensation committee. We believe that striking a compensation committee and appointing additional independent directors to such committee 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 revenues to date. None of our directors are independent as defined by Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. Our board of directors’ responsibilities in acting as our compensation committee is to oversee our company’s compensation and benefit plans, including our compensation plan. Our board of directors also monitors and evaluates matters relating to the compensation and benefits structure of our company. Our company has not adopted a Compensation Committee Charter.
Transactions with Independent Directors
We have determined that none of our directors are independent directors, as that term is used in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules and National Instrument 52-110.
National Instrument 52-110
We are a reporting issuer in the Province of British Columbia. National Instrument 52-110 of the Canadian Securities Administrators requires our company, as a venture issuer, to disclose annually in our annual report certain information concerning the constitution of our audit committee and our relationship with our independent auditor. As defined in National Instrument 52-110, none of our directors are independent. For a description of the education and experience of our audit committee members that is relevant to the performance of their respective responsibilities as audit committee members, please see the disclosure under the heading “Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance – Business Experience”.
William Grossholz, an audit committee member, is “financially literate”, as defined in National Instrument 52-110, as he has the industry experience necessary to understand and analyze financial statements of our company, as well as the understanding of internal controls and procedures necessary for financial reporting. Mr. Grossholz is a chartered accountant, registered with the Chartered Accountants in British Columbia.
The audit committee is responsible for review of both interim and annual financial statements for our company. For the purposes of performing their duties, the members of the audit committee have the right at all times, to inspect all the books and financial records of our company and any subsidiaries and to discuss with management and the external auditors of our company any accounts, records and matters relating to the financial statements of our company. The audit committee meets periodically with management and annually with the external auditors.
Since the commencement of our company’s most recently completed financial year, our company’s board of directors has not failed to adopt a recommendation of the audit committee to nominate or compensate an external auditor.
Since the commencement of our company’s most recently completed financial year, our company has not relied on the exemptions contained in sections 2.4 or 8 of National Instrument 52-110. Section 2.4(De Minimis Non-audit Services)provides an exemption from the requirement that the audit committee must pre-approve all non-audit services to be provided by the auditor, where the total amount of fees related to the non-audit services are not
- 30 -
expected to exceed 5% of the total fees payable to the auditor in the fiscal year in which the non-audit services were provided. Section 8(Exemptions)permits a company to apply to a securities regulatory authority for an exemption from the requirements of National Instrument 52-110 in whole or in part.
The audit committee has adopted specific policies and procedures for the engagement of non-audit services as set out in the Audit Committee Charter of our company. A copy of our company’s Audit Committee Charter is filed as an exhibit to this annual report.
National Instrument 58-110
We are a reporting issuer in the Province of British Columbia. National Instrument 58-110 of the Canadian Securities Administrators requires our company, as a venture issuer, to disclose annually in our annual report certain information concerning corporate governance disclosure.
Board of Directors
Our board of directors currently acts with two members consisting of Robert Fraser and William Grossholz. We have determined that Messrs. Fraser and Grossholz are not independent as that term is defined in National Instrument 52-110 due to the fact that Mr. Fraser is our president and Mr. Grossholz is our secretary and treasurer.
Our board of directors facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over management by endorsing the guidelines for responsibilities of the board as set out by regulatory authorities on corporate governance in Canada and the United States. Our board’s primary responsibilities are to supervise the management of our company, to establish an appropriate corporate governance system, and to set a tone of high professional and ethical standards.
The board is also responsible for:
selecting and assessing members of the board;
choosing, assessing and compensating the president, secretary and treasurer of our company, approving the compensation of all executive officers and ensuring that an orderly management succession plan exists;
reviewing and approving our company’s strategic plan, operating plan, capital budget and financial goals, and reviewing its performance against those plans;
adopting a code of conduct and a disclosure policy for our company, and monitoring performance against those policies;
ensuring the integrity of our company’s internal control and management information systems;
approving any major changes to our company’s capital structure, including significant investments or financing arrangements; and
reviewing and approving any other issues which, in the view of the board or management, may require board scrutiny.
Directorships
Our directors are not currently directors of other reporting issuers (or the equivalent in a foreign jurisdiction).
Orientation and Continuing Education
We have an informal process to orient and educate new recruits to the board regarding their role of the board, our committees and our directors, as well as the nature and operations of our business. This process provides for an orientation with key members of the management staff, and further provides access to materials necessary to inform
- 31 -
them of the information required to carry out their responsibilities as a board member. This information includes the most recent board approved budget, the most recent annual report, the audited financial statements and copies of the interim quarterly financial statements.
The board does not provide continuing education for its directors. Each director is responsible to maintain the skills and knowledge necessary to meet his or her obligations as directors.
Nomination of Directors
The board is responsible for identifying new director nominees. In identifying candidates for membership on the board, the board takes into account all factors it considers appropriate, which may include strength of character, mature judgment, career specialization, relevant technical skills, diversity and the extent to which the candidate would fill a present need on the board. As part of the process, the board, together with management, is responsible for conducting background searches, and is empowered to retain search firms to assist in the nominations process. Once candidates have gone through a screening process and met with a number of the existing directors, they are formally put forward as nominees for approval by the board.
Assessments
The board intends that individual director assessments be conducted by other directors, taking into account each director’s contributions at board meetings, service on committees, experience base, and their general ability to contribute to one or more of our company’s major needs. However, due to our stage of development and our need to deal with other urgent priorities, the board has not yet implemented such a process of assessment.
ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
Audit fees
The aggregate fees billed for the two most recently completed fiscal periods ended February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008 for professional services rendered by Madsen & Associates, CPA’s Inc. for the audit of our annual financial statements, quarterly reviews of our interim financial statements and services normally provided by the independent accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows:

Audit Fees and Audit Related Fees | $4,325 | $5,205 |
Tax Fees | $Nil | $Nil |
All Other Fees | $Nil | $Nil |
Total | $4,325 | $5,205 |
In the above table, “audit fees” are fees billed by our company’s external auditor for services provided in auditing our company’s annual financial statements for the subject year. “Audit-related fees” are fees not included in audit fees that are billed by the auditor for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit review of our company’s financial statements. “Tax fees” are fees billed by the auditor for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. “All other fees” are fees billed by the auditor for products and services not included in the foregoing categories.
- 32 -
Policy on Pre-Approval by Audit Committee of Services Performed by Independent Auditors
The board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.
The board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by Madsen & Associates, CPA’s Inc. and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining Madsen & Associates, CPA’s Inc.
