PART I
Certain statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K constitute “forward-looking statements.” These statements, identified by words such as “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “should,” “expect,” and similar expressions include our expectations and objectives regarding our future financial position, operating results and business strategy. These statements reflect the current views of management with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include those set forth under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation” and elsewhere in this Annual Report. We adv ise you to carefully review the reports and documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), particularly our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Current Reports onForm 8-K.
As used in this Annual Report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Fero” and the “Company” mean Fero Industries, Inc., unless otherwise indicated. All dollar amounts in this Annual Report are expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
ITEM 1. Business.
OVERVIEW
We were incorporated in the State of Colorado on December 11, 2000 under the name Fero Industries, Inc. and were dormant until December 2006. We are a development stage company and have not commenced any operations other than initial corporate formation and capitalization, the building of a central website, www.oil-n-gasbrokerage.net, the acquisition of our domain names and the development of our business plan.
It is our intention to create a web portal whereby we plan to serve as an all inclusive information provider for anyone worldwide who is looking to buy, sell or lease anything to do with the exploration and/or production of oil and gas.
Principal Products or Services and their Markets
We plan to develop our web portal into four areas:
1. an online marketplace;
2. industry classifieds;
3. industry news; and
4. industry links.
We plan on generating revenues based on two main sources: a) classified advertisements; and b) display ads. In addition, we will charge a listing fee for any item listed for sale or lease. No fees will be charged for those individuals or concerns responding to these. Display advertisements listing services from geophysical companies, geologists, engineers and oilfield drilling and servicing products on a continual basis will be charged a flat monthly fee plus production costs if we supply the ads.
Management believes that the focus of our web portal should be on delivering ease of use and convenience combined with capabilities designed to personalize business transacted over the Internet in the oil and gas industries. We have established a web portal at www.oil-n-gasbrokerage.net. Upon obtaining adequate financing, we plan to refine this portal, include additional content, and begin marketing our services.
4
Online Marketplace
The cornerstone of our plan is the development of an online marketplace for oil and gas products, equipment and related items. Our management has perceived an opportunity via the internet to establish a meeting place for the buyers and the sellers who want to enter or find new information with respect to properties, equipment and related products in the oil and gas industries. Oilfield equipment is very large and expensive to move or ship. Exploration and production companies seek equipment within economical distances to bring to their sites. Geophysical expertise is in demand world-wide. There is a huge demand for experienced people from all corners of the globe. We believe that given these factors, a central location to obtain this information is in demand in the oil and gas industries.
The marketplace will host a central location for people to view these products. People wishing to list any products in the oil and gas industries for sale or lease will be required to register on our site and we will require them to provide a detailed description of the items that are listed for sale or lease. Individuals who wish to search for items listed for lease or sale on our site will not be charged a fee to search items listed on our site but will be required to register and provide a detailed description of the items which they are looking for. Upon receipt of adequate financing, we plan on providing related services to our members which will include credit verification, delivery scheduling, inspection services and payment settlement with respect to any items which are purchased or leased on our site.
Industry Classifieds
Our classified system allows users to post classified advertisements on the Internet, including new and used equipment related to the oil and gas industries, employment opportunities, transportation services, and oil and gas products. By posting a classified advertisement on our website, a person can provide a link to a website where information on them might be able to be located.
We also plan to work with oil and gas magazines to help promote awareness of its website.
Industry News
We plan on establishing a preliminary industry news center relating to the oil and gas industries on our website. The industry news center is designed to cater to the needs of geophysists, exploration companies, distribution companies, industry professionals, and potential investors.
Industry Links
Our vertical trade portal will also provide a directory of industry specific links to other websites on the Internet which will allow a user to conveniently find information and other websites related to the oil and gas industries. We plan to index these links geographically in order to assist the user in obtaining geographically relevant information.
Sales and Marketing
We plan to create consumer awareness and create branding of our website through some or all of the following methods:
Direct Mail – We plan to send information to oil and gas industry professionals about the benefits and services which we plan to offer.
Print and Catalog Advertising – We plan for our website to be advertised in a variety of oil and gas industry magazines in order to gain widespread awareness of our website.
Internet Advertising – We plan to cross promote our website with other websites in the oil and gas industry.
Trade Shows – We plan go to industry trade shows to promote awareness of the products and services which our website has to offer.
5
Distribution
People wishing to list any products in the oil and gas industries for sale or lease will be required to register on our site and we will require them to provide a detailed description of the items that are listed for sale or lease. Individuals who wish to search for items listed for lease or sale on our site will not be charged a fee to search items listed on our site but will be required to register and provide a detailed description of the items which they are looking for. Upon receipt of adequate financing, we plan on providing related services to our members which will include credit verification, delivery scheduling, inspection services and payment settlement with respect to any items which are purchased or leased on our site.
We plan on generating revenues based on two main sources: a) classified advertisements; and b) display ads. In addition, we will charge a listing fee for any item listed for sale or lease. No fees will be charged for those individuals or concerns responding to these. Display advertisements listing services from geophysical companies, geologists, engineers and oilfield drilling and servicing products on a continual basis will be charged a flat monthly fee plus production costs if we supply the ads.
We plan to establish relationships with manufacturers and distributors of oil and gas products in North America and Europe as well as with various industry publications in order to cross promote our website and develop awareness for our online marketplace. While we have no such relationships at present, management believes that it will be able to establish these relationships by drawing on past experience in the oil and gas industry. Failure to establish these relationships could have a material adverse effect upon our business plan.
Management also plans to create the initial information content used on our website by drawing on past experience in the oil and gas industry. We plan to hire new employees to internally create and then expand the content of our website, utilize linking software to incorporate other websites' free information directly into the Company's "host" site, and contract for licensed content from other websites whenever needed. While we have no current licensing contracts with Internet content providers, management is familiar with existing Internet content providers and it plans to enter into licensing agreements with Internet content providers per its business plan after raising capital.
Patents, Trademarks and Licenses
We currently have not submitted any applications for trademarks or patents and own no licenses. We have obtained the right to use the Internet domain names, We do not have and cannot acquire any property rights in an Internet address. To protect our rights to intellectual property in the future, we will rely on a combination of trademark, copyright law, trade secret protection, and confidentially agreements.

We plan to license website content information as part of our business plan, but we have no current licensing arrangements and has not commenced licensing negotiations with any entity. We have no current plans for any additional registrations of our intellectual property rights, such as patents, other trademarks, copyrights, franchises, concessions, royalty agreements or labor contracts. We will assess the need for any additional copyrights, trademark or patent applications on an ongoing basis as new intellectual property is created for our website.
COMPETITORS
We operate in the Internet products, services and content market, which is highly competitive and characterized by rapid change, converging technologies, and increasing competition from companies offering communication, information and entertainment services integrated into other products and media properties. We primarily compete with companies to attract users to our website and advertisers to our marketing services. We expect the market to become increasingly competitive if online marketing continues to grow and gain acceptance on a global basis.
The principal competitive factors relating to attracting and retaining users include the quality and relevance of our search results, and the usefulness, accessibility, integration and personalization of the online services that we offer as well as the overall user experience on our website. In the case of attracting advertisers, the principal competitive factors are the reach, effectiveness and efficiency of our marketing services as well as the creativity of the marketing solutions that we offer.
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS
We are not currently subject to direct federal, state, provincial or local regulation other than regulations applicable to businesses generally or directly applicable to electronic commerce. However, it is possible that a number of laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet, specifically, federal, state, foreign and international laws and regulations may govern the collection, use, retention, sharing and security of data that we receive from our users and partners. In addition, we have and post on our website our own privacy policies and practices concerning the collection, use and disclosure of user data. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with our posted privacy policies or with any data-related consent orders, Federal Trade Commission requirements or other federal, state or international privacy-related laws and regulations could result in proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others, which could potentiall y have an adverse effect on our business.
A large number of legislative proposals pending before the United States Congress, various state legislative bodies and foreign governments concern data privacy and retention issues related to our business. It is not possible to predict whether or when such legislation may be adopted. Certain proposals, if adopted, could impose requirements that may result in a decrease in our user registrations and revenues. In addition, the interpretation and application of user data protection laws are in a state of flux. These laws may be interpreted and applied inconsistently from country to country and inconsistently with our current data protection policies and practices. Complying with these varying international requirements could cause us to incur substantial costs or require us to change our business practices in a manner adverse to our business.
We do not plan to provide customer information to third parties and, therefore, do not anticipate any current or proposed legislation relating to online privacy to directly affect our proposed activities to a material extent.
We are not certain how our business may be affected by the application of existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, copyrights, encryption and other intellectual property issues, taxation, libel, obscenity and export or import matters.
7
The vast majority of those laws were adopted prior to the advent of the Internet. As a result, they do not contemplate or address the unique issues of the Internet and related technologies. Changes in laws intended to address such issues could create uncertainty in the Internet marketplace. That uncertainty could reduce demand for our proposed products or services or increase the cost of doing business as a result of litigation costs or increased service
We have incurred losses since our inception. For the year ended June 30, 2009, we generated revenue of $0, and incurred net losses of $13,150. At June 30, 2009 we had working capital deficit of $10,250 and an accumulated deficit of $ 59,350. Our auditors, have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as going concern.
As at June 30, 2009 there was no public market for our common stock. Subsequent to June 30, 2009 the common shares of Fero Industries Inc. were listed for quotation on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) on August 7, 2008 under the trading symbol FERO. On December 5, 2008 the company completed a 5 to 1 forward split bring the total issued and outstanding to 25,500,000 and the change of our trading symbol from FERO to FROI on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board.
On December 8, 2008 Fero Industries, Inc. (the “Registrant”) has entered into an Interim Agreement with Pyro Pharmaceuticals, Inc. of Los Angeles California. Pyro Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is engaged in the business of developing therapeutics against multi-drug resistant infectious microorganisms. A definitive agreement will be entered into as soon as possible but no later than January 15, 2009, with closing to occur on or before February 27, 2009 and will be subject to certain terms and conditions. The Interim Agreement was extended to April 15, 2009 for the entry into a definitive agreement with closing to occur on May 15, 2009. The Interim Agreement has since been further extended to June 29, 2009 to enter into a definitive agreement, with closing to occur on or before October 31, 2009. The Definitive Agreement will provide for the exchange of each of the Company’s common stock, with Fero remaining as the parent entity and Pyro a wholly owned subsidia ry. To date a definitive agreement has not been consummated and negotiations are still ongoing.
Our principal offices are located at 17 Reeves Crescent, Red Deer, AB, Canada T4P 2Z4 and our telephone number is (403) 827-7936. We are a Colorado corporation.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors.
WE HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES WHICH MAY CONTINUE, WHICH MAY NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR ABILITY TO ACHIEVE OUR BUSINESS OBJECTIVES.
We incurred net losses of $13,150 and $34,900 for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. At June 30, 2008 we had working capital deficit (current assets less currently liabilities) of $10,250 and an accumulated deficit of $59,350. We cannot assure you that we can achieve or sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. Our operations are subject to the risks and competition inherent in the establishment of a business enterprise. There can be no assurance that future operations will be profitable. Revenues and profits, if any, will depend upon various factors, including whether we will be able to continue expansion of our revenue. We may not achieve our business objectives and the failure to achieve such goals would have an adverse impact on us.
8
OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITORS HAVE EXPRESSED SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN, WHICH MAY HINDER OUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN FUTURE FINANCING.
In their report dated, our independent auditors stated that our financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2009 were prepared assuming that we would continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is an issue raised as a result of recurring losses from operations. We continue to experience net operating losses. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to generate a profit and/or obtain necessary funding from outside sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities, increasing sales or obtaining loans and grants from various financial institutions where possible. Our continued net operating losses increase the difficulty in meeting such goals and there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.
WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY AND IF WE ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL IN CONTINUING TO GROW OUR BUSINESS, THEN WE MAY HAVE TO SCALE BACK OR EVEN CEASE OUR ONGOING BUSINESS OPERATIONS.
We have received a limited amount of revenues from operations and have limited assets. We have yet to generate positive earnings and there can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably. Our company has a limited operating history and must be considered in the development stage. Our success is significantly dependent on a successful acquisition, drilling, completion and production program. Our operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a developing enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating history. We may be unable to locate recoverable reserves or operate on a profitable basis. We are in the development stage and potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by enterprises in the development stage. If our business plan is not successful, and we are not able to operate profitably, investors may lose some or al l of their investment in our company.
WE LACK SALES, MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION CAPABILITIES AND DEPEND ON THIRD PARTIES TO MARKET OUR SERVICES.
We have minimal personnel dedicated solely to sales and marketing of our services and therefore we must rely primarily upon third party distributors to market and sell our services. These third parties may not be able to market our product successfully or may not devote the time and resources to marketing our services that we require. We also rely upon third party carriers to distribute and deliver our services. As such, our deliveries are to a certain extent out of our control. If we choose to develop our own sales, marketing or distribution capabilities, we will need to build a marketing and sales force with technical expertise and with supporting distribution capabilities, which will require a substantial amount of management and financial resources that may not be available. If we or a third party are not able to adequately sell and distribute our product, our business will be materially har med.
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO ESTABLISH SUFFICIENT SALES AND MARKETING CAPABILITIES OR ENTER INTO AND MAINTAIN APPROPRIATE ARRANGEMENTS WITH THIRD PARTIES TO SELL, MARKET AND DISTRIBUTE OUR SERVICES, OUR BUSINESS WILL BE HARMED.
We have limited experience as a company in the sale, marketing and distribution of our products and services. We depend upon third parties to sell our product both in the United States and internationally. To achieve commercial success, we must develop sales and marketing capabilities and enter into and maintain successful arrangements with others to sell, market and distribute our products.
9
If we are unable to establish and maintain adequate sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, independently or with others, we may not be able to generate product revenue and may not become profitable. If our current or future partners do not perform adequately, or we are unable to locate or retain partners, as needed, in particular geographic areas or in particular markets, our ability to achieve our expected revenue growth rate will be harmed.
OUR BUSINESS MAY BE AFFECTED BY FACTORS OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL.
Our ability to increase sales, and to profitably distribute and sell our products and services, is subject to a number of risks, including changes in our business relationships with our principal distributors, competitive risks such as the entrance of additional competitors into our markets, pricing and technological competition, risks associated with the development and marketing of new products and services in order to remain competitive and risks associated with changing economic conditions and government regulation.
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO RETAIN THE SERVICES OF MR. SCHLOSSER AND/OR MS. SQUIRE OR IF WE ARE UNABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY RECRUIT QUALIFIED PERSONNEL HAVING EXPERIENCE IN THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE OUR OPERATIONS.
Our success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of Mr. Kyle Schlosser, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Ms. Leigh-Ann Squire, our Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer. Loss of the services of Mr. Schlosser and/or Ms. Squire could have a material adverse effect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. In order to successfully implement and manage our business plan, we will be dependent upon, among other things, successfully recruiting qualified personnel having experience in the oil and gas business. Competition for qualified individuals is intense. There can be no assurance that we will be able to find, attract and retain existing employees or that we will be able to find, attract and retain qualified personnel on acceptable terms.
THE POTENTIAL PROFITABILITY OF OIL AND GAS VENTURES DEPENDS UPON FACTORS BEYOND THE CONTROL OF OUR COMPANY.
The potential profitability of oil and gas properties is dependent upon many factors beyond our control. For instance, world prices and markets for oil and gas are unpredictable, highly volatile, potentially subject to governmental fixing, pegging, controls, or any combination of these and other factors, and respond to changes in domestic, international, political, social, and economic environments. Additionally, due to worldwide economic uncertainty, the availability and cost of funds for production and other expenses have become increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to project. These changes and events may materially affect our financial performance.

Thus far, our focus has been on than initial corporate formation and capitalization, the building of a central website, www.oil-n-gasbrokerage.net, the acquisition of our domain names and the development of our business plan. We plan the operations for remainder of 2008 to be focused on the development of our website. The completion of this task will require additional capital beyond what we currently have on hand.
We plan on generating revenues based on two main sources: a) classified advertisements; and b) display ads. In addition, we will charge a listing fee for any item listed for sale or lease. No fees will be charged for those individuals or concerns responding to these. Display advertisements listing services from geophysical companies, geologists, engineers and oilfield drilling and servicing products on a continual basis will be charged a flat monthly fee plus production costs if we supply the ads.
For the next twelve months that follow, we expect to pursue the implementation of our business plan and the development and marketing of our website. Our current cash position is not sufficient to fund our cash requirements during the next twelve months, including operations and capital expenditures. We intend to seek joint ventures or obtain equity and/or debt financing to support our current and proposed oil and gas operations and capital expenditures. We cannot assure that continued funding will be available.
Our future financial results will depend primarily on (1) our ability to fully implement our business plan, (2) our ability to develop our website (3) generate revenue from classified advertisements and display ads and (4) develop our brand awareness. We cannot assure that we will be successful in any of these activities or that the prices of oil and gas prevailing at the time of production will be at a level allowing for profitable production
We have not entered into commodity swap arrangements or hedging transactions. Although we have no current plans to do so, we may enter into commodity swap and/or hedging transactions in the future in conjunction with oil and gas production. We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We will require additional financing in order to complete our stated plan of operations for the next twelve months. We believe that we will require additional financing to carry out our intended objectives during the next twelve months. There can be no assurance, however, that such financing will be available or, if it is available, that we will be able to structure such financing on terms acceptable to us and that it will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements until we can reach a level of profitable operations and positive cash flows. If we are unable to obtain the financing necessary to support our operations, we may be unable to continue as a going concern. We currently have no firm commitments for any additional capital.
13
The downturn in the United States stock and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Further, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our shares of common stock. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we will have to curtail our operations.
We presently do not have any available credit, bank financing or other external sources of liquidity. Due to our brief history and historical operating losses, our operations have not been a source of liquidity. We will need to obtain additional capital in order to expand operations and become profitable. In order to obtain capital, we may need to sell additional shares of our common stock or borrow funds from private lenders. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional funding.
To date, we have generated minimal revenues and have incurred operating losses in every quarter. Our registered independent auditors have stated in their report dated August 31, 2008, that we are an early exploration company and have not generated revenues from operations. These factors among others may raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities. Because most of our purchases and sales will made in Canadian dollars, any exchange rate change affecting the value of the in Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar could have an effect on our financial results as reported in U.S. dollars. If the in Canadian dollar were to depreciate against the U.S. dollar, amounts reported in U.S. dollars would be correspondingly reduced. If the in Canadian dollar were to appreciate against the U.S. dollar, amounts reported in U.S. dollars would be correspondingly increased.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Fero Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on December 11, 2000. The Company’s activities to date have been limited to organization and capital formation. The Company is a “development stage company” and has acquired seventeen different domain names with sites all linking with the main website, oil-n-gasbrokerage.net. Fero Industries, Inc. will act as a brokerage/clearing house for oil and gas leases and royalty interests and a variety of drilling and production equipment (both new and used) employed by oil and gas exploration companies. The Company will also act as a referring agent and broker for those drilling programs seeking outside participation.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars.
NOTE 2 – NATURE OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company recognizes revenue at the time services are performed.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
F7
FERO INDUSTRIES INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s short-term financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value because of their short-term maturities. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes nor does it hold or issue interest rate or leveraged derivative financial instruments.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic Earnings per Share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year plus potential dilutive instruments such as stock options and warrants. Basic and diluted EPS are the same for the Company, as of June 30, 2009, as the Company does not have any common share equivalents outstanding.
INCOME TAXES
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes as required by SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”. SFAS 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of certain assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period, plus or minus the change during the pe riod in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expanse items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of the assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. As of June 30, 2009, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance to fully offset the deferred tax asset of approximately $20,000 related to its cumulative net operating losses of $59,350
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash. During the year the Company did not maintain cash deposits at financial institution in excess of the $100,000 limit covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company does not expect that the adoption of recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.
NOTE 3 – ACQUISITION OF DOMAIN NAMES AND DEPOSITS
On April 20, 2007, the Company entered into an asset purchase and sale agreement with Mr. Jerry Capehart of Grand Prairie, Texas whereby he sold to us a 100% undivided right title and interest in seventeen internet domain names for a total purchase price of $180,000. Terms of the purchase are as follows: $5,000 to Mr. Capehart and 2,500,000 shares of our common stock as a non-refundable deposit (recorded as Deposits on the Balance Sheet) and an additional $75,000 on or before June 30, 2008. All domain names are fully valid and registered and ready for construction. The Company did not execute this contract by the closing date of June 30, 2009. As such, the Company has not recorded the liability or corresponding asset related to this sale agreement in its financial statements.
NOTE 4 – COMMON STOCK
On December 11, 2000 the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of its common stock to its President and Chief Executive Officer, Kyle Schlosser at a deemed price of $0.001 per share or $600 in return for his time effort and expense of forming the company and keeping it in good standing.
On December 28, 2006 the Company issued 2,500,000 shares of our common stock to our Secretary/Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer, Leigh-Ann Squire at a deemed price of $0.001 per share or $500 in return for her agreement to join our Board of Directors, become an officer of the registrant and his agreement to provide the computer and internet expertise in constructing our websites and providing the server for operation of the sites, at no charge.
As referred to in Note 4 above, on April 20, 2007 the Company issued 2,500,000 shares of our common stock to Mr. Jerry Capehart of Grand Prairie, Texas at a deemed price of $0.001 per share, or $500, as a good faith deposit for seventeen domain names relating to the oil and gas industry.
On April 30, 2007 the Company issued 15,500,000 shares of our common stock to thirty-one non US persons at a price of $0.01 per share.
On May 10, 2007 the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of our common stock to three US individuals (one representing a Grandchildren’s Trust), at a price of $0.01 per share.
On November 18, 2008 the Board of Directors of the registrant passed unanimously a resolution authorizing a forward split of the authorized and issued and outstanding common shares on a five to one (5 – 1) basis bringing the total common shares issued and outstanding to 25,500,000. The forward split has been retroactively recorded in the financial statements of the Company as if the forward split had occurred at the inception of the Company. All share amounts have been retroactively adjusted
NOTE 5 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has no sales and has incurred a net loss of $59,350 since inception. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of its mineral properties. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classifications of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

ITEM 9. Changes and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
There has not been any changes in and or disagreements with our principal independent accountants.
We have engaged Madsen & Associates CPA’s, Inc. as our independent auditors since May 2007.
During the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and subsequent to June 30, 2009 through to the date hereof, neither we, nor anyone on our behalf, has consulted with Madsen & Associates CPA’s, Inc. regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, whether completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, nor has Madsen & Associates CPA’s, Inc. provided to us a written report or oral advice regarding such principles or audit opinion or any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or any reportable events as set for in Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation SB.
ITEM 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are not effective.

PART III
ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS; COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT.
DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
Our executive officers and directors and their respective ages and positions as of March 17, 2007 are
as follows:

Name | Age | Position |
Kyle Schlosser | 46 | President, Chief Executive Officer and Director |

Executive Biographies
Kyle Schlosser –Chief Executive Officer and President : Mr. Schlosser has served as our President since our inception in December 2000. Since August 2006, Mr. Schlosser has been the founder and president of Jack’s Custom Shacks Inc., manufacturer of portable office sleeping and cooking structures for the oil and gas and mining industries. From April 2004 through June 2006, Mr. Schlosser served as an independent oil and gas consult with assignments allover the United States, Canada and the Middle East. From June 2002 to December 2004, Mr. Schlosser served as Chairman and interim president of Micromining Technologies Ltd. (MMZ-TSX) a corporation involved with environmental clean-up of oilfield and mining sites. From 1980 through 2002 he served as president of KWS Enterprises Inc., a Seismic Drilling contractor, supplying seismic drilling for major oil companies.

She has a extensive background in computer programming and organization. Prior to 1997 Ms. Squire was employed by The Great West Life Assurance Company as an investment and Benefits coordinator.
Significant Employees and Consultants
We have no significant employees other than Mr. Schlosser and Ms. Squires.
Committees of The Board Of Directors
Our Board of Directors does not maintain a separately-designated standing audit committee. As a result, our entire Board of Directors acts as our audit committee. Our Board of Directors has determined that we do not presently have a director who meets the definition of an “audit committee financial expert.” We believe that the cost related to appointing a financial expert to our Board of Directors at this time is prohibitive. Our Board of Directors presently do not have a compensation committee, nominating committee, an executive committee of our board of directors, stock plan committee or any other committees.
Terms of Office
Our directors are appointed for one-year terms to hold office until the next annual general meeting of the holders of our common stock or until removed from office in accordance with our by-laws. Our officers are appointed by our Board of Directors and hold office until removed by our Board of Directors.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our officers and directors which is a "code of ethics" as defined by applicable rules of the SEC. If we make any amendments to our Code of Ethics other than technical, administrative, or other non-substantive amendments, or grant any waivers, including implicit waivers, from a provision of our Code of Ethics to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, or certain other finance executives, we will disclose the nature of the amendment or waiver, its effective date and to whom it applies in a current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC.
16
Compliance with Section 16(A) Of The Securities Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers, directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our equity securities (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Reporting Persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, there were no Reporting Persons who failed to file on a timely basis, reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during the most recent fiscal year.

Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on the date of this Annual Report. As of June 30, 2009, we had 25,500,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
