escheated to the state, federal government and/or governmental agencies, which are holding monies and assets and assist in the return of such monies and assets to their legal owners. The success of our business will be dependent on our ability to file and realize claims, of which there can be no assurances.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements about our business, financial condition and prospects that reflect our management's assumptions and beliefs based on information currently available. We can give no assurance that the expectations indicated by such forward-looking statements will be realized.
If any of our assumptions should prove to be incorrect, or if any of the risks and uncertainties underlying such expectations should materialize, our actual results may differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements.
When used in this prospectus, words such as, "believes," "expects," "intends," "plans," "anticipates," "estimates" and similar expressions are intended to identify and qualify forward-looking statements, although there may be certain forward-looking statements not accompanied by such expressions.
The key factors that are not within our control and that may have a direct bearing on operating results include, but are not limited to, acceptance of our proposed services we expect to market, our ability to establish a customer base, managements' ability to raise capital and, the ability to recruit and retain key employees. There may be other risks and circumstances that management may be unable to predict.
RISK FACTORS
THE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES DESCRIBED BELOW ARE THOSE WE BELIEVE TO BE MATERIAL TO OUR BUSINESS AND SHOULD THE FOLLOWING RISKS ACTUALLY OCCUR, OUR BUSINESS COULD BE SERIOUSLY HARMED. ADDITIONAL UNKNOWN OR UNANTICIPATED RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES COULD ALSO HARM OUR BUSINESS.
Development Stage Enterprise. We were organized on August 21, 2002. To date, our efforts have been limited to organizational activities, an initial sale of stock, and the start of a business. Our planned operation did not materialize and were suspended. We now intend to enter into the business of providing unclaimed property location services to the public and businesses.
We are a development stage enterprise and we anticipate losses. When operational, we anticipate that our business will be subject to numerous problems, delays, expenses and difficulties typically associated with a new line of business, many of which may be beyond our control. We will incur operating losses until such time, if ever, as we derive meaningful and ongoing revenues
from our operations. We may be unable to complete the transition from a development stage company to profitability, or, if such transition is successful, that we may be able to maintain profitability. Thus, any investment in our Company should be considered to be a high risk investment.
Additional Financing Required The Company has no meaningful funds with which to conduct operations. Accordingly, we will need to raise additional capital through public or private debt or sale of equity. If we cannot obtain additional financing, our business operations may not commence. If we are forced to raise additional funds on unfavorable terms, the value of our securities may decrease
or suffer further dilution. Alternatively, unforeseen difficulties may result in an increase in our operating expenses. We may also have miscalculated or underestimated funds necessary for success in the proposed venture.
We have not conducted any Formal Market Studies. We intend to conduct business as a provider of unclaimed property services to the public and businesses. We have not conducted and will not conduct any formal marketing studies regarding the effectiveness of our proposed operations. If our business fails to attract a sufficient number of clients, then investors will lose their entire investment.
Competition. We are new and unseasoned in the business in which we will engage. There are numerous individuals and businesses engaged in the business of asset reclamation. Many of them are established, have greater financial resources and experienced management. Our management, by contrast, has relatively little experience in this field. Accordingly, we will be at a competitive disadvantage in the marketplace. Further, because of the ease of entry to the business marketplace, it is probable that additional, better financed, and more experienced individual and companies will enter the marketplace and compete with us. (See "BUSINESS.")
Management will have the Ability to Exercise Significant Influence Over Us. Ms. Hasmik Yaghobyan, a director and officer of Company, owns approximately 58.3% of our outstanding stock. Her son, Mr. Osheen Haghnazarian, owns approximately 25.3% of our outstanding stock. Together, they control approximately 83.6% of our outstanding stock. As a result of the concentration of ownership and, serving in multiple capacities, Ms. Yaghobyan alone or, in concert with her son,
will be in a position to exercise an unusually large amount of control and discretion over matters requiring approval of our stockholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. Our Articles of Incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting. (See "PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS" and "MANAGEMENT.")
Management Lacks Relevant Experience. The members of the Board of Directors and management have very limited experience in the business activities in which we will engage. Accordingly, potential purchasers of the our securities should critically evaluate the information concerning management. Additionally, the management of the Company will be largely dependent on the active participation
of Mr. Haghnazarian. In the event that his services became unavailable to us, our business is very likely to be severely and adversely affected and investors may lose their entire investment. We do not maintain key-man insurance nor is there any plan to purchase any such insurance in the foreseeable future. (See "MANAGEMENT.")
Indemnification of Officers and Directors. Our Articles of Incorporation provide for the indemnification of its directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney's fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on our behalf. We will also bear the expenses of
such litigation for any of our directors, officers, employees, or agents, upon such person's promise to repay us even if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures by us which we may be unable to recoup.
Director's Liability Limited. Our Articles of Incorporation exclude personal liability of our directors to the Company and its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty except in certain specified circumstances. Accordingly, we will have a much more limited right of action against our
directors than would otherwise be the case. This provision does not affect the liability of any director under federal or applicable state securities laws.
No Public Market for the Company's Securities. Currently, there is no trading market for our shares of Common Stock, and although we plan to take affirmative steps to facilitate a market for our securities, there can be no assurance that we will be successful or, if successful, any such market can or will be
developed. Hence, stockholders may not be able to resell their holdings should they wish to do so.
We are Authorized to Issue Preferred Stock Which, If Issued, May Adversely Affect Your Voting Rights and Reduce the Value of Your Shares of Common Stock. Our Board of Directors is authorized by our Articles of Incorporation to issue shares of Preferred Stock without the consent of our stockholders. Any issuance of Preferred Stock may be detrimental to the value of our Common Stock.
Preferred Stock when issued, may rank senior to the Common Stock with respect to voting rights, payment of dividends and amounts received by stockholders upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Such preferences will be set by our Board of Directors. The issuance of such Preferred Stock and the preferences given the Preferred Stock, do not need the approval of our stockholders. The existence of rights which are senior to Common Stock may reduce the value of our Common Stock - your investment. We do not currently have any plans to issue any shares of Preferred Stock. (See "Description of Securities.")
Dividends. Since organization, we have conducted very limited business. We have had no earnings, and have paid no dividends to date. The payment of dividends, if any, will be within the discretion of our Board of Directors. Presently, we intend to retain all earnings, if any, for use in its business operations and, accordingly, the Board of Directors does not anticipate declaring any dividends
in the foreseeable future. (See "DIVIDENDS.")
Risks associated with this Offering
THE TRADING IN OUR SHARES WILL BE REGULATED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION RULE 15G-9 WHICH ESTABLISHED THE DEFINITION OF A "PENNY STOCK."
The shares registered herewith are defined as a penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and rules of the Commission. The Exchange Act and such penny stock rules generally impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than certain accredited investors who are, generally, institutions with assets in
excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 ($300,000 jointly with spouse), or in transactions not recommended by the broker-dealer. For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, a broker dealer must make certain mandated disclosures in penny stock transactions, including the actual sale or purchase price and actual bid and offer quotations, the compensation to be received by the broker-dealer and certain associated persons, and deliver certain disclosures required by the Commission. Consequently, the penny stock rules may make it difficult for you to resell any shares you may purchase, if at all.
Item 4. Use of Proceeds
USE OF PROCEEDS
The selling stockholders are selling shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus for their own account. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the resale of these shares.
Item 5. Determination of Offering Price
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
There is no public market for the shares of Common Stock being registered. As a result, the offering price and other terms and conditions relative to our shares have been arbitrarily determined by us and do not necessarily bear any relationship to assets, earnings, book value or any other objective criteria of value. In addition, no investment banker, appraiser or other independent, third party has been consulted concerning the offering price for the shares or the fairness of the price used for the shares.
Although our Common Stock is not listed on a public exchange, we intend to file and obtain a listing on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) concurrently with the filing of this prospectus. In order to be quoted on the Bulletin Board, a market maker must file an application on our behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA, which operates the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved.
In addition, there is no assurance that our Common Stock will trade at market prices in excess of the initial public offering price as prices for the common stock in any public market which may develop will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the liquidity.
Item 6. Dilution
DILUTION
The Common Stock to be sold by the selling stockholders is Common Stock that is currently issued. Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our existing stockholders.
Item 7. Selling Security Holders
SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
Currently, 1,500,000 shares of our Common Stock are issued and outstanding and held by 27 stockholders of record. All of these shares are the subject of this prospectus and the registration statement filed herewith. The selling stockholders may be deemed to be underwriters.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the selling stockholders. To our knowledge, except as otherwise indicated, each person or entity listed below has sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our common stock owned by such person or entity, except to the extent this power may be shared with such person's spouse. The shares being offered
hereby are being registered to permit public secondary trading, and the selling stockholders may offer all or part of the shares for resale from time to time. However, the selling stockholders are under no obligation to sell all or any portion of such shares nor are the selling stockholders obligated to sell any
shares immediately upon effectiveness of this prospectus.

Item 8. Plan of Distribution
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
There are 27 selling stockholders. They may be deemed underwriters. They may sell some or all of their common stock in one or more transactions, including block transactions:
1. On such public markets or exchanges as the common stock may from time to time be trading;
2. In privately negotiated transactions;
3. Through the writing of options on the common stock;
4. In short sales; or
5. In any combination of these methods of distribution.
The sales price to the public is fixed at $0.05 per share until such time as the shares of our common stock become traded on the Bulletin Board operated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority or another exchange. If our common stock becomes quoted on the Bulletin Board or another exchange, then the sales price to the public will vary according to the selling decisions of each selling stockholder and the market for our stock at the time of resale. In these circumstances, the sales price to the public may be:
1. The market price of our common stock prevailing at the time of sale;
2. A price related to such prevailing market price of our common stock; or
3. Such other price as the selling stockholders determine from time to time.
The shares may also be sold in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's Rule 144. The selling stockholders may also sell their shares directly to market makers acting as principals or brokers or dealers, who may act as agent or acquire the common stock as a principal. Any broker or dealer participating in such transactions as agent may receive a commission from the selling stockholders, or, if they act as agent for the purchaser of such common stock, from such purchaser. The selling stockholders will likely pay the usual and customary brokerage fees for such services. Brokers or dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of shares at a
stipulated price per share and, to the extent such broker or dealer is unable to do so acting as agent for the selling stockholders, to purchase, as principal, any unsold shares at the price required to fulfill the respective broker's or dealer's commitment to the selling stockholders. Brokers or dealers who acquire
shares as principals may thereafter resell such shares from time to time in transactions in a market or on an exchange, in negotiated transactions or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices, and in connection with such re-sales may pay or receive commissions to
or from the purchasers of such shares. These transactions may involve cross and block transactions that may involve sales to and through other brokers or dealers.
We can provide no assurance that all or any of the common stock offered will be sold by the selling stockholders. We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the common stock, estimated to be $30,000. The selling stockholders, however, will pay commissions or other fees payable to brokers or
dealers in connection with any sale of the common stock. The selling stockholders must comply with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in the offer and sale of the common stock. In particular, during such times as the selling stockholders may be deemed to be engaged in a distribution of the common stock, and therefore be considered to be an underwriter, they must comply with applicable law and may, among other things:
1. Not engage in any stabilization activities in connection with our common stock;
2. Furnish each broker or dealer through which common stock may be offered, such as copies of this prospectus, as amended from time to time, as may be required by such broker or dealer; and
3. Not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities other than as permitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
There is no assurance that any of the selling stockholders will sell any or all of the shares offered by them. Under the securities laws of certain states, the shares may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in that state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is met.
Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act
Our shares are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 and Rule 15g-9 promulgated thereunder. They impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $6,000,000 or
individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses). While Section 15(g) and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 apply to brokers-dealers, they do not apply to us.
Rule 15g-1 exempts a number of specific transactions from the scope of the penny stock rules. Rule 15g-2 declares unlawful broker-dealer transactions in penny stocks unless the broker-dealer has first provided to the customer a standardized disclosure document.
Rule 15g-3 provides that it is unlawful for a broker-dealer to engage in a penny stock transaction unless the broker-dealer first discloses and subsequently confirms to the customer current quotation prices or similar market information concerning the penny stock in question.
Rule 15g-4 prohibits broker-dealers from completing penny stock transactions for a customer unless the broker-dealer first discloses to the customer the amount of compensation or other remuneration received as a result of the penny stock transaction.
Rule 15g-5 requires that a broker-dealer executing a penny stock transaction, other than one exempt under Rule 15g-1, disclose to its customer, at the time of or prior to the transaction, information about the sales persons compensation.
Rule 15g-6 requires broker-dealers selling penny stocks to provide their customers with monthly account statements.
Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers to approve the transaction for the customer's account; obtain a written agreement from the customer setting forth the identity and quantity of the stock being purchased; obtain from the customer information regarding his investment experience; make a determination that the investment is suitable for the investor; deliver to the customer a written statement for the basis for the suitability determination; notify the customer of his rights and
remedies in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions; and, the FINRA's toll free telephone number and the central number of the North American Administrators Association, for information on the disciplinary history of broker-dealers and their associated persons. The application of the penny stock
rules may affect your ability to resell your shares.

Item 9. Description of Securities to be Registered
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
General
The following summary describes the terms of our securities that we consider to be material, but does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation, our bylaws and applicable Colorado law. Complete copies of our Articles of Incorporation and bylaws are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
Common Stock
We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, without par value. Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and do not have cumulative voting rights. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect all of the directors
standing for election. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive proportionately any dividends that may be declared by our board of directors, subject to any preferential dividend rights of outstanding preferred stock. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of Common Stock will be entitled to receive proportionately any of our assets remaining after the payment of liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any outstanding Preferred Stock. Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. All of our outstanding shares of Common Stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Preferred Stock
We are authorized to issue up to 25,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, without par value. Our Board of Directors has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series and to designate the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of each
series. The issuance of Preferred Stock could have the effect of restricting dividends on the Common Stock, diluting the voting power of the Common Stock, impairing the liquidation rights of the Common Stock or delaying or preventing our change of control without further action by our stockholders. There are no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding nor is there in effect any resolution of Board with respect to the issuance of such shares.
No Public Market for Common Stock
There is presently no public market for our shares of common stock. We anticipate applying for trading of our common stock on the over the counter bulletin board, maintained by the FINRA, upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
There are several requirements for listing our shares on the FINRA bulletin board, including:
o We must make filings pursuant to Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;
o We must remain current in our filings;
o We must find a member of the FINRA to file a Form 211 on our behalf. The information contained within Form 211 includes comprehensive data about our company and our shares. Form 211 and our prospectus will be filed with FINRA so that they can determine if there is sufficient publicly available information about us and whether our shares should be listed for trading.
o We can provide no assurance that our shares will be traded on the bulletin board or, if traded, that a public market will materialize.
Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990
The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 require additional disclosure for trades in any stock defined as a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to exceptions. Under this rule, broker/dealers who recommend these
securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to a transaction before sale. Our shares will probably be subject to the Penny Stock Reform Act, thus potentially decreasing the ability to easily transfer our shares.
Item 10. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
No expert or counsel named in this prospectus as having prepared or certified any part of this prospectus or having given an opinion upon the validity of the securities being registered or upon other legal matters in connection with the registration or offering of the common stock was employed on a contingency basis, or had, or is to receive, in connection with the offering, a substantial interest, direct or indirect, in the registrant or any of its parents or subsidiaries. Nor was any such person connected with the registrant or any of its parents or subsidiaries as a promoter, managing or principal
underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer, or employee.
Item 11. Information with Respect to the Registrant
BUSINESS
Corporate History
Ventura Assets Limited is a Colorado corporation organized on August 21, 2002. The Company was formed to develop a software program to centralize the booking of recreational and vacation activities. The Company's initial capital proven insufficient to complete its planned activity and the project was abandoned in 2003 when the Company ceased business operations.
Business of Issuer
The Company has it intends to provide unclaimed property location services to the public and businesses. We will assist clients in obtaining information regarding lost or forgotten estates, unclaimed assets and/or financial belongings in any or all of the United States. We would seek to locate assets that have, for example, escheated to the state, federal government and/or governmental agencies, which are holding monies and assets and assist in the return of such monies and assets to their legal owners. The success of our business will be dependent on our ability to file and realize claims, of which there can be no assurance.
Industry Background
The origin of unclaimed property law dates back to English common law. Abandoned land was returned to the King along with the transfer of those property rights. Today, this concept has been adopted by the states and applied to intangible property as well as tangible property, excluding real estate. The states do not take permanent title to the property but act as custodians to safeguard such
properties for the rightful owner or until claimed by heirs.
Unclaimed property consists primarily of various types of intangible personal property. Examples of these include: savings and checking accounts, uncashed checks, securities (i.e. stocks and bonds), dividends, insurance refunds or claims, oil royalties, wages, utility refunds/deposits, bail bonds, and child support payments. There are many ways owners (and heirs) lose track of assets. These reasons include: records being lost, destroyed or incomplete; ignorance;
and forgetfulness.
Future Growth Strategy
We will obtain lists from the Comptrollers Offices in the states in which we intend to search for missing property. These lists typically contain the names of individuals or businesses, whose assets have escheated to state or local governments, the last known address where correspondence was sent and the year in which it was turned over to the state. We would then conduct a search utilizing telephone and professional directories, as well as on-line search engines, to locate asset owners. If we are able to verify rightful ownership and documentation, we will then contact these persons or businesses, and inform them of the claim. If it is deduced that a subject individual is deceased, we will
obtain court records of the executor of the estate and inform the estate of the claim. In the case of businesses, we will contact the Comptroller or Treasurer of the business, as the individual with authority to lay claim to the found asset. We will then file claims on behalf of persons and businesses, when authorized to do so an Agent.
We will invest in technology and the purchase of property/asset lists and directories from respective state(s) and governmental agencies. We anticipate that disbursements from the state(s) and/or governmental agencies will take a significant period of time. Accordingly, operating losses are anticipated for at least one year after commencing business.
We will charge a fee for each realized claim. Such fees are generally regulated by the state and the fee scale varies from five to fifteen percent of the amount of the claim. Depending on the state in which the assets are located, reclaimed assets are either sent directly to the individual or business or to the Agent filing the claim. Depending on the nature of the transaction, we will be compensated from the funds received by us as Agent for the client or, we may be compensated directly from the client after they receive the assets. Compensation to the Company will be subject to pre-arranged, contractual agreements. While we anticipate amicable relations with the beneficiaries of our services, it should
be understood that the potential exists that such beneficiaries may refuse to pay as agreed, or refuse to enter into arrangements with us, in which case the Company may lose revenue for work performed or in fact find itself in litigation with clients.
We believe that the primary competitive factors which will affect our business are reputation, speed, efficiency of claim reclamation, quality of personalized service, marketing, convenience, reliability and the ability to purchase sufficient lists and directories of unclaimed or undistributed property/assets. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against
current and future competitors and, competitive pressures faced by us may have a material and adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
The market for asset reclamation services is fragmented, rapidly evolving and highly competitive. Barriers to entry are minimal, and current and new competitors can conduct operations relatively inexpensively. We will compete with (i) various on-line businesses which provide similar services, (ii)
individuals who are knowledgeable of the procedures and processes of reclaiming assets, and (iii) a large number of small entities with localized operations around the country.
We have not as yet commenced operations. Future revenues and profitability will depend upon various factors including competition, market acceptance of our services and general economic conditions. We anticipate that our business will generate revenues from a wide cross section of the general public, persons and businesses, rather than from a few major customers.
Properties
Our offices are presently located at the residence of the directors and officers of the Company. The address is: 2241 Flintridge Drive, Glendale, California 91206. We are provided with a single office space of 144 square feet. With effect from April 2008, we have agreed to pay the sum off $95 per month to defray the cost of office expenses, including telephone.
Regulation
We will be subject to regulation from various state and federal governmental agencies. Laws governing issues such as maximum finders' fees and required licenses to conduct business are regulated by local, state, and federal law. Existing laws and regulations as well as amendments to such laws and regulations (or the adoption of new laws and regulations) could have a material adverse
effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Because of the number of jurisdictions potentially involved, it is likely that certain laws or regulations could be amended in ways unfavorable to Company operations.
Competition.
We are new and unseasoned in the business in which we will engage. There are numerous individuals and businesses engaged in the business of asset reclamation. Many of them are established, have greater financial resources and experienced management. Our management, by contrast, has relatively little experience in this field. Accordingly, we will be at a competitive disadvantage in the marketplace. Further, because of the ease of entry to the business marketplace, it is probable that additional, better financed, and more experienced individual and companies will enter the marketplace and compete with us.
INDEMNIFICATION
Articles 7-109-101 through 7-109-109 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act provides that any director or officer of a Colorado corporation may be indemnified against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by him in connection with or in defending any action, suit or proceeding in which he is a party by reason of his position, so long as it shall be determined that he conducted himself in good faith and reasonably believed that his conduct was in the corporation's best interest. If a director or officer is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in connection with such proceeding, such indemnification is mandatory.
Our Articles of Incorporation and By-laws contain provisions which provide, amongst other things, that we shall indemnify certain persons, including officers and directors, against judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. As to any action brought by or in our right, such indemnification is limited to expenses (including attorney's fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of the case, and shall not be made, absent court approval, if it was determined that such person was liable for gross negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to us.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors of
Ventura Assets Limited
Glendale, California
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Ventura Assets Limited (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from August 9, 2002 (inception) through December 31, 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 audit.
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 audits 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 audits 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 Ventura Assets Limited as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and the period from August 9, 2002 (inception) through December 31, 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. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has limited working capital, has not yet received revenue from sales of products or services, and has incurred losses from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regard to these matters are described in Note 2. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 1 – Organization and Principal Activities
Organization and Description of Business
Ventura Assets Limited (a development stage company) provides unclaimed property location services to the public and businesses. The Company assists clients in obtaining information regarding lost or forgotten estates, unclaimed assets and/or financial belongings in any or all of the United States. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on August 9, 2002, and has its principal office in Glendale, California.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements, including the estimated useful lives of tangible and intangible assets. Management believes the estimates used in preparing the financial statements are reasonable and prudent. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and notes payable. At the year ends the carrying cost of these instruments approximate their fair value.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less.
Intangible Assets
In accordance with SFAS No. 142 (ASC 350), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," the Company evaluates intangible assets and other long-lived assets for impairment, at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows. Recoverability of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is measured by comparing their net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscoun ted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss .

The Company recognizes revenue when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer pursuant to applicable laws and regulations, including factors such as when there has been evidence of a sales arrangement, delivery has occurred, or service have been rendered, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
Stock-Based Compensation
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share Based Payment” (ASC 718). SFAS No. 123R establishes the accounting for grants of stock options and other transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. SFAS No. 123R (1) revises SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” (2) supersedes Accounting Principles Bulletin (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and (3) establishes fair value as the measurement objective for share-b ased payment transactions. The Company is following the provisions of SFAS No. 123R and has recorded compensation expenses related to the granting of stock options to employees.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with SFAS 109 (ASC 740-10), Accounting for Income Taxes, using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Earnings Per Common Share
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (ASC 260-10), “Earnings Per Share”, requires presentation of basic earnings per share (”Basic EPS”) and diluted earnings per share (“Diluted EPS”). Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (including shares reserved for issuance) during the period. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.

(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The Company did not have any potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period August 21, 2002 (date of inception) through December 31, 2009. Accordingly, basic and diluted loss per common share is the same.
Advertising
The costs of advertising, promotion and marketing programs are charged to operations in the calendar year incurred.
Segmented Information
Management has determined that the Company operates in one dominant industry segment. Additional segment disclosure requirements will be evaluated as it expands its operations.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables. The Company places its cash with high quality financial institutions and at times may exceed the FDIC $250,000 insurance limit. The Company extends credit based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition, generally without collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each customer's financial condition. The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses, as required. Accounts are “written-off” when deemed uncollectible.
Special – purpose entities
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet financing activities.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had an accumulated deficit, a working capital deficit, and no established source of revenue. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2009
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The Company’s ability to continue in business is dependent upon obtaining sufficient financing or attaining profitable operations. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, management expectations for future performance, and other assumptions as appropriate. Key areas affected by estimates include the assessment of the recoverability of long-lived assets, which is based on such factors as estimated future cash flows. The Company re-evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis. Actual results may vary from those estimates.
Organizational costs
The Company expenses all start-up and organizational costs as they are incurred in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5 (ASC 720-15), “Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities” issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
Website Development Costs
The Company accounts for website development costs in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 00-2 (ASC 350). Accordingly, all costs incurred in the planning stage are expensed as incurred, costs incurred in the website application and infrastructure development stage are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1 (ASC 350-40) which requires the capitalization of certain costs that meet specific criteria, and costs incurred in the day to day operation of the website are expensed as incurred.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
Note 3 – Note Payable - Related Party
The Company has received a $14,620 loan from Ms. Yaghobyan, as officer and director of the company. The loan is unsecured, payable on demand without interest.
Note 4 – Income Taxes
The Company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $37,967 which is available to offset future taxable income and will expire in various amounts beginning in 2022.
The federal income tax benefit of this net operating loss is $7,000 and has been offset with a valuation allowance of $7,000 due to the uncertainty that the net operating loss will be used.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This section of this prospectus includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this prospectus. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.
MANAGEMENT’S PLAN OF OPERATION
The Company intends to provide unclaimed property location services to the public and businesses. We will assist clients in obtaining information regarding lost or forgotten estates, unclaimed assets and/or financial belongings in any or all of the United States. We would seek to locate assets that have, for example, escheated to the state, federal government and/or governmental agencies, which are holding monies and assets and assist in the return of such monies and assets to their legal owners. The success of our business will be dependent on our ability to file and realize claims, of which there can be no assurance.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The table below summarizes our financial results and condition as of December 31, 2009 and 2008:
| | December 31, 2009 | | | December 31, 2008 | |
Revenues | | $ | - | | | $ | - | |
Net loss available to common shareholders | | $ | (16,700) | | | $ | (6,170) | |
Current assets | | $ | 103 | | | $ | 103 | |
Current liabilities | | $ | 23,070 | | | $ | 6,370 | |
Total assets | | $ | 103 | | | $ | 103 | |
Total liabilities | | $ | 23,070 | | | $ | 6,370 | |
Stockholders' deficit | | $ | (22,967) | | | $ | (6,267) | |
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of the date of this report, the Company has yet to generate any revenues from its business activities.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
At December 31, 2009, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates .
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to provide for deferred income taxes using the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and the tax effect of net operating loss carry-forwards. A valuation allowance has been provided as it is more likely than not that the deferred assets will not be realized.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued FASB 141 (revised 2007). This Statement applies to all transactions or other events in which an entity (the acquirer) obtains control of one or more businesses (the acquiree), including those sometimes referred to as “true mergers” or “mergers of equals” and combinations achieved without the transfer of consideration, for example, by contract alone or through the lapse of minority veto rights. The Company has not yet determined what the effect will be, if any, on their financial statements.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued FASB 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value and expands disclosures, effective for the Company starting July 1, 2009. The Company has not yet determined what the effect will be, if any, on their financial statements.
SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” — permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, and interim peri ods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Articles 7-109-101 through 7-109-109 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act provides that any director or officer of a Colorado corporation may be indemnified against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by him in connection with or in defending any action, suit or proceeding in which he is a party by reason of his position, so long as it shall be determined that he conducted himself in good faith and reasonably believed that his conduct was in the corporation's best interest. If a director or officer is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in connection with such proceeding, such indemnification is mandatory.
Our Articles of Incorporation and By-laws contain provisions which provide, amongst other things, that we shall indemnify certain persons, including officers and directors, against judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. As to any action brought by or in our right, such indemnification is limited to expenses (including attorney's fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of the case, and shall not be made, absent court approval, if it was determined that such person was liable for gross negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to us.

Item 17. Undertakings
UNDERTAKINGS
(A) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to: |
| (i) | To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; |
| (ii) | Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and |
| (iii) | Include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. |
(2) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
(3) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
(B) The issuer is subject to Rule 430C (ss. 230. 430C of this chapter): Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(ss. 230. 424(b) of this chapter) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A (ss. 230. 430A of this chapter), shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first us e, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Colorado law, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opini on of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
In accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-1, Amendment No.2, and authorized this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, in Los Angeles, California on May 14, 2010 ..
