Item 1. Business




Overview of the Company




As used in this annual report, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” and “Circle Star” mean Circle Star Energy Corp., unless otherwise indicated.




We are an early stage company that was incorporated on May 21, 2007.  Up until June 2011, we had been a limited operations entity, primarily focused on organizational matters and developing an online help desk customer  support system to assist service companies to improve  their customer  relationship  management.  We expected our system  to be used by organizations  interested  in  improving  their  customer relationship management by automating their customer support and by establishing a centralized help desk. The software  product was intended to be capable of providing a generic solution across a broad range of industries. We  conducted  market research, started work on a  corporate information-only website, researched third party software development firms and began development on the software product. However, we had limited success in developing clients to purchase our services and we had limited success in raising sufficient capital to develop our technologies and platform. The economic downturn and increased competition in the on-line customer support industry adversely affected our business prospects and our ability to develop competitive services and systems. Through fiscal 2011, we continued to develop our software and began to explore opportunities to diversify our business. We examined complementary technology businesses and resource business and oil and gas business opportunities.




Events Subsequent to April 30, 2011 – Company Overview




In June 2011, the Company changed its focus and undertook an acquisition of interests in oil and gas producing properties. On June 2, 2011, David Brow replaced Felipe Pati, as the sole officer of the Company and was appointed as the President, Treasurer and Secretary. On June 6, 2011, David Brow was elected as the sole director of the Company at the annual and special meeting of the shareholders.  At the annual and special meeting, the shareholders voted in favour of changing the name of the Company to Circle Star Energy Corp. and amending and restating the bylaws of the Company.




On June 15, 2011, the Company closed a private placement of units.  Under the terms of the private placement, the Company issued 4,800,000 units at a price of $0.25 per unit. Each unit consists of one share of common stock of the Company and one common share purchase warrant, which may be exercised to acquire one share of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.50 through June 15, 2013.




On June 16, 2011, the Company closed an acquisition under the terms of a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, effective as of June 1, 2011 (the “Purchase Agreement”), among High Plains Oil, LLC,  Nevada limited liability company (“High Plains”), and  JHE Holdings, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“JHE”), pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the membership interests in JHE from High Plains (the “Acquisition”).  High Plains is an entity controlled by S. Jeffrey Johnson, who was appointed as a director of the Company on June 16, 2011 and Chairman of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) on July 6, 2011. Mr. Johnson was at arms length to the Company prior to his appointment as a director.





In consideration for the acquisition of JHE, the Company agreed to:





(a)
issue 1,000,000 shares of its common stock to High Plains (the “Consideration Shares”);












(b)
pay the $1,000,000 installment payment due June 1, 2011, under a promissory note in the aggregate amount of $7,500,000 (the “Promissory Note”) issued by High Plains to James H. Edsel, Nancy Edsel, and James H. Edsel, Jr. (collectively, the “Edsels”) in connection with the acquisition of JHE by High Plains from the Edsels that closed on March 30, 2011 and was effective as of January 2011 (the "High Plans Acquisition");


(c)
execute and deliver a Novation and Assignment Agreement (the “Novation”) pursuant to which the Company will, effective June 1, 2011 (the “Effective Date”): (i) assume all of the obligations and liabilities of High Plains under the Promissory Note, and (ii) in consideration for, among other things, consenting to the Acquisition and the forbearance by the Edsels of the first installment payment of $1,000,000 due under the Promissory Note on June 1, 2011 until June 10, 2011 or the closing date, issue an aggregate of 600,000 share of its common stock to the Edsels (the “Edsel Shares”);





(d)
undertake to cause JHE to amend its limited liability company agreement to, among other items, provide for the retention by High Plains of a 10% contractual profits interest in JHE (the “Retained Profits Interest”) in the form of a right to 10% of the net revenues, payments, royalties and other distributions received by JHE from the JHE Oil and Gas Properties, as defined below;





(e)
execute and deliver an Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement (the “Amended Pledge Agreement”) with the Edsels pursuant to which the Company will, effective as of the Effective Date: (i) assume all of High Plains’ obligations and liabilities under the initial Pledge and Security Agreement entered into by and between High Plains and the Edsels in connection with the issuance of the Promissory Note as partial consideration in respect to the High Plains Acquisition and (ii) undertake to cause JHE to assign and transfer a 10% interest in the JHE Oil and Gas Properties to High Plains in exchange for the Retained Profits Interest upon full and complete payment and satisfaction of all obligations due under the Promissory Note and Amended Pledge Agreement;





(f)
undertake to cause JHE to make a distribution to High Plains, within five (5) business days of June 30, 2011, of cash remitted to JHE through and including June 30, 2011; and





(g)
pay Pimuro Capital Partners, LLC (“Pimuro”), a consultant who advised High Plains with regards to its acquisition of JHE and the Purchase Agreement, the accrued fees and expenses  in the amount of $240,000 relating to such consulting arrangement between High Plains and Pimuro under the terms of an Installment Agreement (the “Installment Agreement”), payable of $100,000 on the closing date and thereafter in monthly installments of $50,000, $50,000 and $40,000 commencing when JHE receives $75,000 in monthly aggregate distribution from JHE Oil and Gas Properties (defined below).  Pimuro is controlled by G. Jonathan Pina, who was appointed as our Chief Financial Officer on July 11, 2011. Mr. Pina was at arms length to the Company prior to his appointment.





The acquisition of JHE by the Company closed on June 16, 2011 and was subject to customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary consents and approvals, the Company and High Plains having complied with all covenants under the Purchase Agreement, and there being no pending litigation, judgment, order or decree that would prohibit the acquisition of JHE by the Company.





The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, Amended Pledge Agreement, Novation and Installment Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3 respectively to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 21, 2011 and are hereby incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K .





The Company completed the Acquisition of JHE in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired, effective on the Effective Date, all of the membership interests in JHE and accordingly, JHE became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  JHE owns royalty, non-operated working interests and mineral interests in certain oil and gas properties in Texas, including up to a 5% working interest in certain of the properties (the “JHE Oil and Gas Properties”). The JHE Oil and Gas Properties include producing wells in the TXL Extension, Crane County, TX (0.01 working interest and 0.0075 revenue interest in two wells); Bullard Prospect, Scurry County, TX (0.0125 – 0.025 working interest and 0.009375 – 0.0208333 revenue interest in four producing wells and one salt water disposal well ); Nursery Prospect, Victoria County, TX (0.0275 working interest and 0.020 – 0.021 revenue interest in two wells); Pearsall Prospect, Dimmit and Zavala Counties, TX (0.0024 - 0.05 working interest and 0.0017 – 0.0375 revenue interest in 18 wells); Madison Woodbine, Grimes and Madison Counties, TX (0 - 0.029 working interest and 0.00019 – 0.029 revenue interest in five wells); EnCana Hilltop Bossier Field, Robertson County, TX (0.004146 – 0.03764 working interest, 0.003192 – 0.027265 net revenue interest, and 0.00 – 0.005906 mineral interest in five wells) and Giddings Field, Fayette and Lee Counties, TX (0 - 0.03 working interest and 0.0076 – 0.0228 revenue interest in seven wells).




















In addition, the JHE Oil and Gas Properties include mineral interest and non-operated working interest rights in various oil and gas properties. See “Item 2 Properties – Subsequent Event – Oil and Gas Properties.”

  Pursuant to the Amended Pledge Agreement, the Company, effective as of the Effective Date, pledged 100% of the membership interests in JHE to the Edsels, including all rights and assets relating to such membership interests, as security for the payment and satisfaction of the Company’s obligations under the Promissory Note. Further, pursuant to the Amended Pledge Agreement, following payment of all accrued and unpaid interest, together with at least fifty percent (50%) of the original principal amount of the Promissory Note, as each subsequent payment of principal is made by the Company to the Edsels under the Promissory Note, a corresponding undivided portion or percentage of the JHE Oil and Gas Properties, as calculate in accordance with Amended Pledge Agreement, shall vest in the Company and be released from the transfer restrictions under the terms of the Amended Pledge Agreement.





Until such time as the Promissory Note is paid in full and all of the Company’s obligations and liabilities thereunder have been satisfied, the Edsels shall continue to hold a security interest over that portion or percentage of the membership interests that remain unvested.  Accordingly, if the Company defaults on its payment obligations under the Promissory Note, prior to the vesting in full of all of the membership interests, the Edsels shall be entitled to exercise any and all remedies available at law to secure payment of the Promissory Note, including, but not limited to, selling the unvested portion of the membership interests.





The JHE Oil and Gas Properties constitute material assets of the Company such that if the Company defaults under the Promissory Note and the Edsels satisfy the Company’s obligations under the Promissory Note by selling the unvested portion of the membership interests, the Company may lose all or a portion of the JHE Oil and Gas Properties.





In accordance with terms of the Purchase Agreement, as consideration for the acquisition of JHE from High Plains, the Company entered into the Novation pursuant to which the Company agreed to assume, effective as of the Effective Date, all of High Plains’ obligations and liabilities under the Promissory Note.  The Promissory Note had a principal balance of $7,500,000, $1,000,000 of which was paid at closing as consideration for the acquisition of JHE by the Company, and bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum.  Following the payment of $1,000,000 at closing, the Promissory Note contemplates payments of $1,500,000 on September 1, 2011, $2,000,000 on December 31, 2011, and $1,500,000 on each of March 1, 2012 and the maturity date of June 1, 2012.





The Company does not currently have sufficient cash to make the next installment payment under the Promissory Note of $1,500,000 on September 1, 2011. Consequently, in order to avoid defaulting on its payment obligations under the Promissory Note, the Company will need to obtain additional financing, through the issuance of equity or debt.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient financing to satisfy its obligations under the Promissory Note.





The foregoing descriptions of the Promissory Note and the Installment Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Promissory Note and the Installment Agreement, copies of which were included as Exhibit 10.4 and 10.5 to the Current Report on 8-K filed on June 21, 2011 and are hereby incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K.











On June 16, 2011 after the closing of the JHE acquisition, S. Jeffrey Johnson was elected as a director of the Company, Mr. Johnson was later appointed as Chairman of the Board on July 6, 2011.




On June 16, 2011 the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada changing the name of the Company from Digital Valleys Corp. to Circle Star Energy Corp., effective July 1, 2011. Effective July 1, the Company’s ticker symbol on the OTCBB was changed from “DTLV” to “CRCL.”




On July 6, 2011, the Company’s board of directors adopted the Circle Star Energy Corp. 2011 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”).  The Plan is subject to ratification by shareholders at the Company’s next annual meeting, in order to qualify the issuance of incentive stock options.




Pursuant to the Plan, stock options may be granted to any person who is performing or who has been engaged to perform services of special importance to management of the Company in the operation, development and growth of the Company.  The maximum number of shares with respect to which stock options may be granted under the Plan may not exceed 3,000,000.  Stock options granted under the Plan shall be incentive or non-incentive stock options and shall be evidenced by agreements, which shall be subject to the applicable provisions of the Plan.  The foregoing description of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 99.1 to Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 12, 2011.




On July 6, 2011, David Brow, the sole officer of the Company, was granted 100,000 stock options under the Plan at an exercise price of $0.50 and vesting immediately.




On July 7, 2011, the Company and Felipe A. Pati, a former sole director and officer of the Company, entered into a Contribution Agreement, whereby Mr. Pati contributed 19,550,000 shares of common stock of the Company as a capital contribution to the Company. The Company and Mr. Pati had determined that it was in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to adjust the outstanding capital of the Company to facilitate the Company’s ability to raise capital and implement the Company’s expanded business strategy. The Contribution Agreement was included as part of a Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 filed with the SEC on July 12, 2011 and in hereby incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K.




On July 11, 2011, G. Jonathan Pina was appointed as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company and took over the Treasurer duties that previously belonged to David Brow.




We have never declared bankruptcy, have never been in receivership, and have never been involved in any legal action or proceedings.




Our offices are currently located at 919 Milam Street, Suite 2300, Houston, Texas 77002.

Jonathan Pina are the Company’s sole employees. The Company has retained consultants to assist with general and administrative support and anticipates it will hire additional employees during the fiscal year ending April 30, 2012.




Competition




On-line Customer Support Business





Prior to our acquisition of JHE, our primary business was developing and offering an online help desk customer support system to assist service companies to improve their customer relationship management. We expected our system to be used by organizations interested in improving their customer relationship management by automating their customer support and by establishing a centralized help desk. The software product was intended to be capable of providing a generic solution across a broad range of industries. We conducted market research, started work on a corporate information-only website, researched third party software development firms and began development on the software product.
 
 There are currently other providers of similar software programs providing customer support  help  desks. Customer relationship management  is a large and  growing industry in the United States. Competitive pressures and  customer  demands  fuel the growth in the industry.




Many of our competitors are located in the United States.  While there are many competitors, the  industry supports a large number of competitors as demand is huge and growing.




Most software  packages are generally generic and use a "cookie cutter" approach to software design, development and implementation. We planned an initial product that would be generic for use in a wide range of businesses, thereby being able to differentiate our product from the  competition by tailoring our software to niche markets.













We had limited success in developing clients to purchase our services and we had limited success in raising sufficient capital to develop our technologies and platform. The economic downturn, tightening of both credit and equity markets and increased competition in the on-line customer support industry adversely affected our business prospects and our ability to develop competitive services and systems. Through fiscal 2011, we continued to develop our software and began to explore opportunities to diversify our business.




We are in the process of determining whether to continue to develop our on-line customer support business, to sell the business (assuming a purchaser can be found) or to abandon the business.




Oil and Gas Development Business




The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive. We compete with numerous individuals and companies, including many major oil and gas companies, which have substantially greater technical, financial and operational resources. Accordingly, there is a high degree of competition for desirable oil and gas assets, as well as for access to funds. There are other competitors that have operations in our focus areas and the presence of these competitors could adversely affect our ability to acquire additional assets.

We are not aware of any existing government regulations, nor are we aware of any regulations being contemplated that would adversely affect our ability to operate as a customer service software provider.




Due to the increasing popularity and use of the internet, it is possible that a number of laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the internet generally, covering issues such as user privacy, pricing, and characteristics and quality of products and services.  Similarly, the growth and development of the market for internet commerce may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws that may impose additional burdens on those companies conducting business over the internet.  The adoption of any such laws or regulations may decrease the growth of commerce over the internet, increase our cost of doing business, or otherwise have a harmful effect on our business.




To date, governmental regulations have not materially restricted the use or expansion of the internet. However, the legal and regulatory environment that pertains to the Internet is uncertain and may change.  New laws may cover issues that include:




●
Sales and other taxes;


●
User privacy;


●
Pricing controls;


●
Characteristics and quality of products and services;


●
Consumer protection;


●
Libel and defamation;


●
Copyright, trademark and patent infringement; and


●
Other claims based on the nature and content of internet materials.




These new laws may have an impact on our ability to market our services in accordance with our business plan should we continue to develop our online customer support business.




Oil and Gas Development Business




The development of oil and gas properties is subject to various United States federal, state and local governmental regulations. The operation of the properties we own interest in may, from time to time, be required to obtain licenses and permits from, or to pay certain bonds to, various governmental authorities in regards to the development of the properties. We currently do not serve as an operator on any of the JHE properties. Instead, JHE holds non-operated working interests, royalty, and mineral interests on properties operated by others. The













descriptions below relate to regulations as they may effect the operations of these operators and our interests in these properties.




Regulations affecting production




Texas generally requires drilling permits for drilling operations, bonds and reports concerning operations and imposes other requirements relating to the development, drilling and production of oil and gas.  Texas also has statutes or regulations addressing conservation matters, including provisions for the unitization or pooling of oil and gas properties, the establishment of maximum rates of production from oil and gas wells, the spacing, plugging and abandonment of such wells, restrictions on venting or flaring natural gas and requirements regarding the oil and gas industry.




These laws and regulations may limit the amount of oil and natural gas we can produce from our wells and may limit the number of wells or the locations at which we can drill. Moreover, many states impose a production or severance tax with respect to the production and sale of oil and natural gas within their jurisdiction. States do not generally regulate wellhead prices or engage in other, similar direct economic regulation of production, but there can be no assurance they will not do so in the future.




In the event operations are conducted on federal, state or Indian oil and natural gas assets, oil and gas operations may be required to comply with additional regulatory restrictions, including various nondiscrimination statutes, royalty and related valuation requirements, and on−site security regulations and other appropriate permits issued by the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) or other relevant federal or state agencies.




Regulations affecting sales




The sales prices of oil, natural gas liquids and natural gas are not presently regulated, but rather are set by the market. We cannot predict, however, whether new legislation to regulate the price of energy commodities might be proposed, what proposals, if any, might actually be enacted by Congress or the various state legislatures, and what effect, if any, the proposals might have on the operations of the underlying properties.




Under the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) possesses regulatory oversight over natural gas markets, including the purchase, sale and transportation of natural gas by “any entity.” The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) also holds authority to monitor certain segments of the physical and futures energy commodities market pursuant to the Commodity Exchange Act. With regard to physical purchases and sales of natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oil, gathering of these energy commodities, and any related hedging activities, operators are required to observe these anti−market manipulation laws and related regulations enforced by FERC and/or the CFTC. These agencies hold substantial enforcement authority, including the ability to assess civil penalties of up to $1 million per day per violation, to order disgorgement of profits and to recommend criminal penalties.  Should operators violate the anti−market manipulation laws and regulations, they could also be subject to related third-party damage claims by, among others, sellers, royalty owners and taxing authorities.




The price from the sale of oil and natural gas liquids is affected by the cost of transporting those products to market. The FERC regulates interstate natural gas transportation rates and service conditions, which affect the marketing of gas we produce, as well as the revenues we receive. The price and terms of access to pipeline transportation are subject to extensive federal and state regulation. The FERC is continually proposing and implementing new rules and regulations affecting interstate transportation. These initiatives also may affect the intrastate transportation of natural gas under certain circumstances. The stated purpose of many of these regulatory changes is to promote competition among the various sectors of the natural gas industry.




Interstate transportation rates for oil, natural gas liquids and other products is also regulated by the FERC. The FERC has established an indexing system for such transportation, which allows such pipelines to take an annual inflation−based rate increase. We are not able to predict with any certainty what effect, if any, these regulations will have on us, but, other factors being equal, the regulations may, over time, tend to increase transportation costs which may have the effect of reducing wellhead prices for oil and natural gas liquids.













Environmental Matters




Oil and Gas Development Business




Operations pertaining to oil and gas development, production and related activities are subject to numerous and constantly changing federal, state and local laws governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection.  These laws and regulations may require the acquisition of certain permits prior to or in connection with operations, restrict or prohibit the types, quantities and concentration of substances that oil and gas operators can release into the environment, restrict or prohibit activities that could impact wetlands, endangered or threatened species or other protected areas or natural resources, require some degree of remedial action to mitigate pollution from former operations, such as pit cleanups and plugging abandoned wells, and impose substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from operations. Such laws and regulations may substantially increase the cost of operations and may prevent or delay the commencement or continuation of a given project and thus generally could have a material adverse effect upon our revenue.




We believe that oil and gas operators are in substantial compliance with current applicable environmental laws and regulations, and the cost of compliance with such laws and regulations has not been material and is not expected to be material during 2011-2012.




Nevertheless, changes in existing environmental laws and regulations or in the interpretations thereof could have a significant impact on the operations of our properties, as well as the oil and gas industry in general. For instance, any changes in environmental laws and regulations that result in more stringent and costly waste handling, storage, transport, disposal or clean−up requirements could have a material adverse impact on our revenue.




Hazardous Substances




The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), also known as the “Superfund” law, imposes liability, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons that are considered to have contributed to the release of a “hazardous substance” into the environment. These persons include the owner or operator of the disposal site or the site where the release occurred and companies that disposed or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substances at the site where the release occurred. Under CERCLA, such persons may be subject to joint and several liability for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment and for damages to natural resources, and it is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the hazardous substances released into the environment.




Currently we do not act as operator on any of our assets. Notwithstanding our lack of direct control over wells operated by others, the failure of an operator other than us to comply with applicable environmental regulations may, in certain circumstances, be attributed to us. We are not aware of any liabilities for which we may be held responsible that would materially and adversely affect us.




Waste Handling




The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”), and analogous state laws, impose detailed requirements for the handling, storage, treatment and disposal of hazardous and solid wastes. RCRA specifically excludes drilling fluids, produced waters, and other wastes associated with the development, or production of crude oil, natural gas or geothermal energy from regulation as hazardous wastes.  However, these wastes may be regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) or state agencies as solid wastes. Moreover, many ordinary industrial wastes, such as paint wastes, waste solvents, laboratory wastes and waste compressor oils, are regulated as hazardous wastes.  Oil and gas operators are subject to compliance risks under RCRA in connection with their operations.












Air Emissions


The Federal Clean Air Act and comparable state laws and regulations impose restrictions on emissions of air pollutants from various industrial sources, including compressor stations and natural gas processing facilities, and also impose various monitoring and reporting requirements. Such laws and regulations may require that operators obtain pre−approval for the construction or modification of certain projects or facilities expected to produce air emissions or result in the increase of existing air emissions, obtain and strictly comply with air permits containing various emissions and operational limits, or utilize specific emission control technologies to limit emissions. An operator's failure to comply with these requirements could subject it to monetary penalties, injunctions, conditions or restrictions on operations, and potentially criminal enforcement actions.  Capital expenditures for air pollution equipment may be required in connection with maintaining or obtaining operating permits and approvals relating to air emissions at facilities in which our properties are located. The cost of compliance could have a material adverse consequence on our revenue.





Water Discharges




The Federal Water Pollution Control Act (“Clean Water Act”) and analogous state laws impose restrictions and strict controls with respect to the discharge of pollutants, including spills and leaks of oil and other substances, into waters of the United States.  The discharge of pollutants into regulated waters is prohibited, except in accordance with the terms of a permit issued by EPA or an analogous state agency. Federal and state regulatory agencies can impose administrative, civil and criminal penalties for non−compliance with discharge permits or other requirements of the Clean Water Act and analogous state laws and regulations. In addition, the United States Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (“OPA”) and similar legislation enacted in Texas, Louisiana and other coastal states impose oil spill prevention and control requirements and significantly expand liability for damages resulting from oil spills. OPA imposes strict and, with limited exceptions, joint and several liabilities upon each responsible party for oil spill response and removal costs and a variety of public and private damages.




Global Warming and Climate Change




In response to recent studies suggesting that emissions of carbon dioxide and certain other gases may be contributing to warming of the Earth’s atmosphere, the U.S. Congress is considering adoption of climate change−related legislation that would restrict emissions of “greenhouse gases.” One bill approved by the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works would require a 70% reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases from sources within the United States between 2012 and 2050. In addition, at least 20 states have already taken legal measures to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, primarily through the planned development of greenhouse gas emission inventories and/or regional greenhouse gas cap and trade programs. In California, for example, the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 requires the California Air Resources Board to adopt regulations by 2012 that will achieve an overall reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from all sources in California of 25% by 2020. Also, as a result of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on April 2, 2007 in Massachusetts, et al. v. EPA, the EPA may be required to regulate carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions from mobile sources (e.g., cars and trucks) even if Congress does not adopt new legislation specifically addressing emissions of greenhouse gases.




Depending on the legislation or regulatory program that may be adopted to address emissions of greenhouse gases, oil and gas operators could be required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions resulting from its operations or oil and gas operators could be required to purchase and surrender allowances for greenhouse gas emissions associated with its operations or the oil and gas it produces.




Business Strategy




On-line Customer Support Business




The Company is currently evaluating its on-line customer support business in order to determine how best to move forward with its implementation or abandonment. We are in the process of determining whether to continue to develop our on-line customer support business, to sell the business (assuming a purchaser can be found) or to abandon the business. Given the competitive nature of the business and our change in overall business strategy, we may be forced to abandon the business.













Oil and Gas Development Business




Subsequent to April 30, 2011, we acquired JHE, which  holds interests on properties operated by others, including royalty, non-operated working interests and mineral interests.




The Company’s business strategy is to continue to expand its reserve base and increase production and cash flow through the continued development of our assets and the acquisition of producing oil and natural gas properties.




Item 1A. Risk Factors




Much of the information included in this annual report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other "forward looking statements".  Such forward looking statements include any projections or estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations.  While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein.




Such estimates, projections or other "forward looking statements" involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below.  We caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected, and in the future could materially affect, actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other "forward looking statements".




Risk Factors Relating to Our Company




We will need significant additional capital, which we may be unable to obtain.




Our capital requirements in connection with our early stage activities and transition to commercial operations have been and will continue to be significant. We estimate our contractual obligations from July 1, 2011 to April 30, 2012 to be approximately $5,533,677. We anticipate we will fund these obligations by issuing equity and/or debt securities. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.  There is no assurance additional funds will be available from any source; or, if available, such funds may not be on terms acceptable to the Company.  In either of the aforementioned situations, the Company may not be able to fully implement its growth plans.




We may not be able to effectively manage the demands required of a new business in our industry, such that we may be unable to successfully implement our business plan or achieve profitability.




We have earned limited revenues to date and we have never been profitable. We may not be able to effectively execute our business plan or manage growth, if any, of our business. Future development and operating results will depend on many factors, including access to adequate capital, the demand for oil and gas and price competition. Many of these factors are beyond our control. In addition, our future prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered in establishing a new business in the oil and gas industry, which is characterized by intense competition, rapid technological change, and significant regulation. If we are unable to address these matters, or any of them, then we may not be able to successfully implement our business plan or achieve profitability.











Because we have earned limited revenues from operations, all our capital requirements have been met through financing and we may not be able to continue to find financing to meet our operating requirements.





We will need to obtain additional financing in order to pursue our business plan. As of April 30, 2011 we had cash on hand of $6,696 and a working capital deficit $42,800. We estimate we will require approximately $6,000,000during the next twelve months to fund development costs, corporate overhead and payment of debt. As such, we estimate that we will need to raise additional funds to fund our planned operations over the next twelve months. We may not be able to obtain such financing at all or in amounts that would be sufficient for us to meet our current and expected working capital needs. It is not anticipated that any of our officers, directors or current stockholders will provide any significant portion of our financing requirements. Furthermore, in the event that our plans change, our assumptions change or prove inaccurate, we could be required to seek additional financing in greater amounts than is currently anticipated. Any inability to obtain additional financing when needed would have a material adverse effect on us, including possibly requiring us to significantly curtail or possibly cease our operations. In addition, any future equity financing may involve substantial dilution to our existing stockholders.




Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.




Our audited financial statements for the years ended April 30, 2011 and 2010 have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. Since inception to April 30, 2011, we have incurred an accumulated net loss of $97,800, and our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.








Because we have a history of losses and anticipate continued losses unless and until we are able to generate sufficient revenues to support our operations, we may lack the financial stability required to continue operations.




Since inception we have suffered recurring losses. The current level of oil and gas production from our assets is not sufficient to completely fund our budget going forward, such that we will require additional financing in order to pursue our plan of operations. We anticipate that our losses will continue until such time, if ever, as we are able to generate sufficient revenues to support our operations. Our ability to generate revenue primarily depends on the success in developing the properties we have an interest in and our ability to acquire new assets. If the properties do not attain sufficient revenues or do not achieve profitable operations, our business may fail.




JHE had limited operations and limited revenue. From January 1, 2011 to May 2011, JHE's average monthly revenue was approximately $125,000. We are in the process of completing audits on the financial statements for JHE and intend to file such statements in accordance with Item 9.01 of Form 8-K on or about September 1, 2011. Revenues from JHE operations will not be sufficient to fund our working capital and contractual obligations during the fiscal year that ends April 30, 2012.




Oil and gas resources on all properties may not continue to be commercially viable, which would cause our business to fail.




We may not be able to achieve commercial production at a level that will be sufficient to pay drilling and completion costs. In addition, the cost of drilling, completing and operating wells is often uncertain. Drilling operations on our properties or on properties we may acquire in the future may be curtailed, delayed or cancelled as a result of numerous factors, including title problems, weather conditions, compliance with governmental requirements and shortages or delays in the delivery of equipment. Furthermore, completion of a well does not assure a profit or a recovery of drilling, completion and operating costs. As a result, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.




Actual production, revenues and expenditures with respect to reserves will likely vary from estimates, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.




There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating oil and gas reserves and their estimated values, including many factors beyond the control of the producer. Reservoir engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of oil and gas that cannot be measured in an exact manner. Estimates of economically recoverable oil and gas reserves and of future net cash flows necessarily depend upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, such as historical production from the area compared with production from other producing areas, the assumed effects of regulations by governmental agencies and assumptions concerning future oil and gas prices, future operating costs, severance and excise taxes, development costs and work-over and remedial costs, all of which may in fact vary considerably from actual results. For these reasons, estimates of the economically













recoverable quantities of oil and gas attributable to any particular group of properties, classifications of such reserves based on risk of recovery, and estimates of the future net cash flows expected therefrom prepared by different engineers or by the same engineers but at different times may vary substantially, and such reserve estimates may be subject to downward or upward adjustment based upon such factors. Actual production, revenues and expenditures with respect to reserves will likely vary from estimates, when and if made, and such variances may be material, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.




Future oil and gas production from our properties is highly dependent upon the ability of oil and gas operators to find or acquire reserves.




In general, the volume of production from oil and gas properties declines as reserves are depleted, with the rate of decline depending on reservoir characteristics. Except to the extent oil and gas operators conduct successful development activities or we acquire properties containing proved reserves, or both, our proved reserves, if any, will decline as reserves are produced. Our future oil and gas production is, therefore, highly dependent upon our level of success in developing or acquiring additional oil ans gas reserves. The business of developing or acquiring reserves is capital intensive. To the extent cash flow from operations is reduced and external sources of capital become limited or unavailable, our ability to make the necessary capital investment to maintain or expand our asset base of oil and gas reserves would be impaired. The failure of an operator of our wells to adequately perform operations, or such operator’s breach of the applicable agreements, could adversely impact us. In addition, we may not obtain additional proved reserves or be able to drill productive wells at acceptable costs, in which case our business would fail.




Oil and gas resources may contain certain hazards which may, in turn, create certain liabilities or prevent the resources from being commercially viable.




Our properties may contain hazards such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions. Projects on our properties may become subject to liability for pollution, fire, explosion, blowouts, cratering and oil spills, against which we cannot or will not insure. Such events could result in substantial damage to oil and gas wells, producing facilities and other property and/or result in personal injury. Costs or liabilities related to those events would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.




Oil and gas prices are highly volatile, and a decline in oil and gas prices could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.




Oil and gas prices and markets are highly volatile. Prices for oil and gas are subject to significant fluctuation, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors. Our profitability will be substantially dependent on prevailing prices for gas and oil. The amounts of and prices obtainable for our oil and gas production may be affected by market factors beyond our control, such as:




●
the extent of domestic production;


●
the amount of imports of foreign oil and gas;


●
the market demand on a regional, national and worldwide basis;


●
domestic and foreign economic conditions that determine levels of industrial production;


●
political events in foreign oil-producing regions; and


●
variations in governmental regulations and tax laws or the imposition of new governmental requirements upon the oil and gas industry.




These factors or any one of them could result in the decline in oil and gas prices, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.




The oil and gas market is heavily regulated, and existing or subsequently enacted laws or regulations could limit our production, increase compliance costs or otherwise adversely impact our operations or revenues.




Properties in which we own an interest are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations. These laws and regulations govern safety, development, taxation and environmental matters that are related to the oil and gas industry. To conserve oil and gas supplies, regulatory agencies may impose price controls and may limit production. Certain













laws and regulations require drilling permits, govern the spacing of wells and the prevention of waste and limit the total number of wells drilled or the total allowable production from successful wells. Other laws and regulations govern the handling, storage, transportation and disposal of oil and gas and any by-products produced in oil and gas operations. These laws and regulations could materially adversely impact our revenues.




Laws and regulations that affect oil and gas operators may change from time to time in response to economic or political conditions. Thus, they must also consider the impact of future laws and regulations that may be passed in the jurisdictions where our properties are located. We anticipate that future laws and regulations related to the oil and gas industry will become increasingly stringent and cause oil and gas operators to incur substantial compliance costs, which may adversely affect their operations.




The nature of the operations on our properties exposes us to environmental liabilities.




The operations on the properties can create the risk of environmental liabilities. Although we do not serve as an operator on our properties, our operating partners may incur liability to governments or to third parties for any unlawful discharge of oil, gas or other pollutants into the air, soil or water, which could potentially discharge oil or gas into the environment in any of the following ways:




●
from a well or drilling equipment at a drill site;


●
from a leak in storage tanks, pipelines or other gathering and transportation facilities;


●
from damage to oil or gas wells resulting from accidents during normal operations; or


●
from blowouts, cratering or explosions.




Environmental discharges may move through the soil to water supplies or adjoining properties, giving rise to additional liabilities. Some laws and regulations could impose liability for failure to obtain the proper permits for, to control the use of, or to notify the proper authorities of a hazardous discharge. Such liability could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and our results of operations and could possibly cause our operations to be suspended or terminated on such property.




We could lose or fail to attract the personnel necessary to run our business.




Our success depends, to a large extent, on our ability to attract and retain key management and personnel. As we develop additional capabilities and expand the scope of our business, we will require more skilled personnel. Recruiting personnel for the oil and gas industry is highly competitive. We may not be able to attract and retain qualified executive, managerial and technical personnel needed for our business. Our failure to attract or retain qualified personnel could delay or result in our inability to complete our business plan.




Our directors and officers may experience conflicts of interest which may detrimentally affect our profitability.




Some of our directors and officers are currently and may also become directors, officers, contractors, shareholders or employees of other companies engaged in oil and natural gas development. To the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which we may participate, our directors may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms respecting the extent of such participation. In the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of our directors, a director who has such a conflict will declare his interest and abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms. In appropriate cases, we will establish a special committee of independent directors to review a matter in which several directors, or management, may have a conflict. From time to time, several companies may participate in the acquisition, and development of oil and natural gas properties thereby allowing for their participation in larger programs, permitting involvement in a greater number of programs and reducing financial exposure in respect of any one program. A particular company may assign all or a portion of its interest in a particular program to another of these companies due to the financial position of the company making the assignment.










Delays in development or production curtailment affecting our material properties may adversely affect our financial position and results of operations.




Depending on the nature of our property interests we may be required to fund our pro rata share of costs related to the development. These costs may be significant. The size of our operations and our capital expenditure budget limits the number of wells that we can develop in any given year. Complications in the development of any single material well may result in a material adverse affect on our financial condition and results of operations.




Because of our lack of assets and geographic diversification, adverse developments in the operating area of our properties would adversely affect our results of operations.




All of our assets are currently located in the Texas. As a result, our business is disproportionately exposed to adverse developments affecting this State. These potential adverse developments could result from, among other things, changes in governmental regulation, capacity constraints with respect to the pipelines connected to our wells, curtailment of production, natural disasters or adverse weather conditions in or affecting this State. Due to our lack of diversification in asset type and location, an adverse development in our business or this operating area would have a significantly greater impact on our financial condition and results of operations than if we maintained more diverse assets and operating areas.





We do not serve as operator on any JHE’s properties and therefore must rely on our operating partners.




We have acquired less than the controlling working interest in oil and natural gas properties and these properties are not be operated by us. As we do not have controlling interest, the operator or the other co-owners might take actions we do not agree with and possibly increase costs or reduce production income in ways we do not agree with. We are also not responsible for or involved in decisions related to costs, operating efficiencies, personnel, permitting as well as other necessary and important decisions made regarding the properties that we hold a minority interest in.




Operations in the oil and natural gas industry subjects us to complex laws and regulations that can have a material adverse effect on the cost, manner and feasibility of doing business.





Companies that develop, produce and sell oil and natural gas in the United States are subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations, including complex tax and environmental laws and the corresponding regulations, and are required to obtain various permits and approvals from federal, state and local agencies. If these permits are not issued or unfavorable restrictions or conditions are imposed on our drilling activities, oil and gas operators may not be able to conduct the operations as planned. Oil and gas operators may be required to make large expenditures to comply with governmental regulations. Matters subject to regulation include:




●
water discharge and disposal permits for drilling operations;


●
drilling bonds;


●
drilling permits;


●
reports concerning operations;


●
air quality, noise levels and related permits;












●
spacing of wells;


●
rights-of-way and easements;


●
unitization and pooling of properties;


●
gathering, transportation and marketing of oil and natural gas;


●
taxation; and


●
waste transport and disposal permits and requirements.




Failure to comply with these laws may result in the suspension or termination of operations and subject us to liabilities under administrative, civil and criminal penalties. Compliance costs can be significant. Moreover, these laws could change in ways that substantially increase the costs of doing business. Any such liabilities, penalties, suspensions, terminations or regulatory changes could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.




The unavailability or high cost of drilling rigs, equipment, supplies, personnel and oilfield services could adversely affect the cost of operations of our properties or our ability to execute our plans on a timely basis.




Due to drilling activity increases, a general shortage of drilling rigs, equipment, supplies and personnel has developed. As a result, the costs and delivery times to oil and gas operators of rigs, equipment, supplies or personnel are substantially greater than in previous years. From time to time, these costs have sharply increased and could do so again. The demand for and wage rates of qualified drilling rig crews generally rise in response to the increasing number of active rigs in service and could increase sharply in the event of a shortage. Shortages of drilling rigs, equipment, supplies or personnel could delay or adversely affect the development operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.




Risks Relating To Our Common Stock




Our common stock has a limited trading history and has experienced price volatility.




Our common stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board. The volume of trading in our common stock varies greatly and may often be light, resulting in what is known as a "thinly-traded" stock.  Until a larger secondary market for our common stock develops, the price of our common stock may fluctuate substantially. The price of our common stock may also be impacted by any of the following, some of which may have little or no relation to our company or industry:




●
the breadth of our stockholder base and extent to which securities professionals follow our common stock;


●
investor perception of our Company and the oil and natural gas industry, including industry trends;


●
domestic and international economic and capital market conditions, including fluctuations in commodity prices;


●
responses to quarter-to-quarter variations in our results of operations;


●
announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic alliances, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;


●
additions or departures of key personnel;


●
sales or purchases of our common stock by large stockholders or our insiders;


●
accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting rules that affect our financial reporting; and


●
changes in legal and regulatory compliance unrelated to our performance.




In addition, the stock market in general and the market for natural gas and oil development companies in particular have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating results or asset values of those companies. These broad market and industry factors may seriously impact the market price and trading volume of our common shares regardless of our actual operating performance.









- 17 -
 We have not paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
 
 We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Payment of future cash dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, contractual restrictions, capital requirements, business prospects and other factors that our board of directors considers relevant. Accordingly, investors may only see a return on their investment if the value of our securities appreciates.




A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact our operations.




A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. Because our operations have been primarily financed through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could be especially detrimental to our liquidity and our continued operations. Any reduction in our ability to raise equity capital in the future would force us to default on our debt obligations and forfeit our property interests or to reallocate funds from other planned uses.  Either of these would have a significant negative effect on our business plans and operations, including our ability to acquire new property interests or fund our obligations for development of our current property interests. If our stock price declines, we may not be able to raise additional capital or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet our obligations.




Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the Securities and Exchange Commission's penny stock regulations which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.




Our stock is a penny stock. The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors". The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.




The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted sales practice requirements which may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.




In addition to the "penny stock" rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

We may be deemed a shell company which could affect liquidity in our common stock





Prior to our acquisition of JHE, we were engaged in the business of on-line customer support and software development. Due to the downturn in the economy arising out of the debt crisis and increased competition, we had very limited success developing clients to purchase our systems and failed to raise sufficient capital to effectively implementing our business plan. As a result, we examined opportunities to diversify our business including complementary technology businesses and resource based business including oil and gas business opportunities. As a result, we may have been deemed a “shell company.” A shell company is defined as a registrant “that has: (1) no or nominal operations; and (2) either: (i) no or nominal assets; (ii) assets consisting solely of cash an cash equivalents; or (iii) assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets.” If we are deemed a shell company there will be (i) additional restrictions on the resale of restricted shares, (ii) additional disclosure required on an acquisition and (iii) increased cost related to disclosure and reporting compliance. On July 25, 2011 we received a comment letter dated June 30, 2011 from the SEC related to our Form 8-K filed on June 21, 2011, requesting that we amend the Form 8-K to provide information required by shell companies. Although we do not believe we are a shell company and intend to respond to the SEC as such, the SEC may take a contrary view as to our shell company status.





If we are deemed a shell company, we will file a Form 8-K with Form 10 level disclosure in connection with the JHE Acquisition, including audited financial statements of JHE (which was due within four business days of the acquistion).  In addition, for twelve months, shareholders holding restricted, non-registered shares will not be able to use the exemptions provided under Rule 144 for the resale of their shares of common stock.




Shell companies are also restricted from using Form S-8 (a form used by a corporation to register securities issued to an employee, directors, officer, consultant or advisor), under certain circumstances.

Delivery Commitments




The Company is not obligated to provide a fixed and determinable quantity of oil or gas in the future under existing contracts or agreements.




Competition




The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive, particularly with respect to the acquisition of prospective oil and natural gas properties and oil and natural gas reserves. Our ability to effectively compete is dependent on our geological, geophysical and engineering expertise, and our financial resources. We must compete against a substantial number of major and independent oil and natural gas companies that have larger technical staffs and greater financial and operational resources than we do. Many of these companies not only engage in the acquisition, development and production of oil and natural gas reserves, but also have refining operations, market refined products and generate electricity. We also compete with other oil and natural gas companies to secure drilling rigs and other equipment necessary for drilling and completion of wells. Consequently, drilling equipment may be in short supply from time to time. Currently, access to additional drilling equipment in certain regions is difficult.




Commodity Price Environment




Generally, the demand for and the price of natural gas increase during the colder winter months and decrease during the warmer summer months. Pipelines, utilities, local distribution companies and industrial users utilize natural gas storage facilities and purchase some of their anticipated winter requirements during the summer, which can lessen seasonal demand fluctuations. Crude oil and the demand for heating oil are also impacted by seasonal factors, with generally higher prices in the winter. Seasonal anomalies, such as mild winters, sometimes lessen these fluctuations.




Our results of operations and financial condition are significantly affected by oil and natural gas commodity prices, which can fluctuate dramatically. Commodity prices are beyond our control and are difficult to predict. We do not currently hedge any of our production.




- 22 -




The prices received for domestic production of oil and natural gas have been volatile and have resulted in increased demand for the equipment and services that we need to drill, complete and operate wells. Shortages have developed, and we have seen an escalation in drilling rig rates, field service costs, material prices and all costs associated with drilling, completing and operating wells. If oil and natural gas prices remain high relative to historical levels, we anticipate that the recent trends toward increasing costs and equipment shortages will continue.




Item 3. Legal Proceedings.




We know of no material, active, or pending legal proceeding against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation there such claim or action involves damages for more than 10% of our current assets. There are no proceedings in which any of our company’s directors, officers, or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholders, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our company’s interest.
 
 On June 16, 2011, Circle Star acquired all of the outstanding equity interest in JHE. JHE was party to a litigation related to a mineral interest in the well known as Landers #1 (“Landers #1”) that was initiated in November 2008 in the District Court 82nd Judicial District, Robertson County, Texas. The litigation involved a multi-party trespass to try title suit to determine the ownership of Landers #1. Ross L. Martella III originally sought a temporary restraining order, but the lawsuit evolved into a trespass to try title action under Chapter 22 of the Texas Property Code. A Final Judgment was rendered in the suit in November, 2010 and it became final and non-appealable in December, 2010. Subsequently, two additional litigation matters involving Landers #1 were initiated. As of June 10, 2011, one of the suits was dismissed and Orbis Energy, Ltd. (“Orbis”) has agreed to indemnify JHE in connection with the remaining litigation related to Landers #1.
 
 The parties consider the lawsuits to be a nuisance and Circle Star does not believe the Landers #1 litigation to be material due to Orbis’ agreement to indemnify, hold harmless and defend at its sole cost and expenses, Circle Star and its respective successors and assigns from any and all claims and/or costs associated with these lawsuits or any other claim which might be made against the interests that are subject to such litigation.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data.




Not Applicable.




Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.




The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this annual report.  The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs.  Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements.  Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this annual report.




Our consolidated financial statements are stated in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.




Application of Critical Accounting Estimates




The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year.  The more significant areas requiring the use of estimates include asset impairment, stock-based compensation, and future income tax amounts.  Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions considered to be reasonable under the circumstances.  However, actual results may differ from the estimates.




Activities to Date




We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 21, 2007.  We are an early stage company.  From our inception until the end of the fiscal year end, we have not generated any revenues, and our operations have been limited to organizational, start-up, and capital formation activities.




On June 16, 2011, the Company completed the Acquisition of JHE in accordance with terms of the Purchase Agreement.  Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired all of the membership interests in JHE and accordingly, JHE became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  JHE owns royalty, non-operated working interests and mineral interests in certain oil and gas properties in Texas (the “JHE Oil and Gas Properties”). The JHE Oil and Gas Properties include producing wells in the TXL Extension, Crane County, TX (0.01 working interest and 0.0075 revenue interest in two wells); Bullard Prospect, Scurry County, TX (0.0125 – 0.025 working interest and 0.009375 – 0.0208333 revenue interest in four producing wells and one salt water disposal well ); Nursery Prospect, Victoria County, TX (0.0275 working interest and 0.020 – 0.021 revenue interest in two wells); Pearsall Prospect, Dimmit and Zavala Counties, TX (0.0024 - 0.05 working interest and 0.0017 – 0.0375 revenue interest in 18 wells); Madison Woodbine, Grimes and Madison Counties, TX (0 - 0.029 working interest and 0.00019 – 0.029 revenue interest in five wells); EnCana Hilltop Bossier Field, Robertson County, TX (0.004146 – 0.03764 working interest, 0.003192 – 0.027265 net revenue interest, and 0.00 – 0.005906 mineral interest in five wells) and Giddings Field, Fayette and Lee Counties, TX (0 - 0.03 working interest and 0.0076 – 0.0228 revenue interest in seven wells).





See Item 1 “Overview of the Company” for more information on activities since the end of the fiscal year.










Results of Operations





Revenues




We had no revenues for the period from May 21, 2007 (date of inception), through April 30, 2011.




On June 16, 2011, we acquired JHEwhich holds royalty, non-operated working interests and mineral interests on properties operated by others. W e anticipate that JHE will continue to receive revenue from these assets on a monthly basis. JHE’s interests are non-operated interest and revenue is dependent on production and the operations of third parties for which we may have little control.




Operating Expenses




Our expenses for the twelve month period ended April 30, 2011 and 2010, were $33,218 and $13,475.  The increase in expenses is primarily a result of an increase in legal and accounting costs. During the period from May 21, 2007 (date of inception), through April 30, 2011, we incurred expenses of $99,300.  These expenses were comprised primarily of general and administrative, and legal and accounting expenses, as well as banking fees.




Subsequent to April 30, 2011, we acquired JHE, hired a Chief Financial Officer, established an office in Texas, engaged consultants to assist us with our administration and operations and expanded our business strategy to develop oil and gas properties. We anticipate that operating expenses will significantly increase during the remainder of the fiscal year ending April 30, 2012 as a result of these changes. We also anticipate that we may hire additional employees and acquire additional assets, which are expected to increase operational expenses.




Net Income (Loss)




Our net loss for the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2011 and 2010 was $31,718 and $13,475. The increase in loss was primarily a result of an increase in legal and accounting costs. During the period from May 21, 2007 (date of inception), through April 30, 2011, we incurred a net loss of $97,800.  This loss consisted primarily of incorporation costs, legal and accounting fees, consulting fees, website hosting costs, and administrative expenses.




Subsequent to April 30, 2011, we acquired JHE and expanded our business strategy. We expect that losses will increase in future periods as our operations and expenses increase and until we receive significantly increased revenues from our oil and gas properties.




Purchase or Sale of Equipment




To date there have not been any purchases or sales of equipment. We anticipate that we will acquire equipment as we establish our office in Houston, Texas. We may acquire other equipment in connection with our oil and gas business.




Liquidity and Capital Resources




Our balance sheet as of April 30, 2011 reflects assets of $6,795 in the form of cash and cash equivalents and prepaid expenses.  From inception to April 30, 2011, we have sold 41,400,000 shares of common stock with gross proceeds of $55,000.  However, cash resources provided from our capital formation activities have, from inception, been insufficient to provide the working capital necessary to operate our Company.




Subsequent to April 30, 2011, we acquired JHE under the terms of the Purchase Agreement. As consideration for the acquisition of JHE from High Plains, the Company entered into the Novation pursuant to which the Company agreed to assume, effective as of the Effective Date, all of High Plains’ obligations and liabilities under the Promissory Note.  The Promissory Note has a principal balance of $7,500,000, $1,000,000 of which was paid at closing as consideration for the acquisition of JHE by the Company, and bears interest at a rate of 5% per annum.  Following the payment of $1,000,000 at closing of the Acquisition, the Promissory Note contemplates payments of $1,500,000 on September 1, 2011, $2,000,000 on December 31, 2011, and $1,500,000 on each of March 1, 2012 and the maturity date of June 1, 2012.











The Promissory Note is secured by a pledge of all of the Company’s membership interests in JHE to the Edsels pursuant to the Amended Pledge Agreement.  If the Company defaults on any of its obligations under the Promissory Note, the Edsel shall be entitled to exercise any and all remedies available at law to secure payment of the Promissory Note, including, but not limited to, selling the unvested portion of the membership interests.





The Company assumed High Plains’ obligations to pay Pimuro $240,000 under the terms of the Installment Agreement, of which $100,000 was paid on closing of the Acquisition and monthly installments of $50,000, $50,000 and $40,000 are payable commencing on the last day of the month that JHE receives aggregate revenue from the JHE Oil and Gas Properties during such month.





On June 16, 2011, we raised $1,200,000 in a private placement of units. Each unit consists of one share of common stock of the Company and one common share purchase warrant, which may be exercised to acquire one share of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.50 through June 15, 2013. We used the proceeds from the private placement to pay $1,000,000 to the Edsels, $100,000 to Pimuro and $15,000 to reimburse the Edsels for legal expenses. We estimate that we incurred $100,000 in transaction expenses in connection with the Acquisition and the private placement.





The Company does not currently have sufficient cash to fund its working capital requirements or to make the next installment payment under the Promissory Note of $1,500,000 on September 1, 2011. Consequently, in order to avoid defaulting on its payment obligations under the Promissory Note and to fund its working capital requirements, the Company will need to obtain additional financing, through the issuance of equity or debt.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient financing to satisfy its obligations under the Promissory Note.





We anticipate generating losses in the near term, and therefore, may be unable to continue operations in the future.  To secure additional capital, we will have to issue debt or equity or enter into a strategic arrangement with a third party.  There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us.  We currently have no agreements, arrangements, or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit, or any other sources.




The following contractual obligations chart is based on obligations as of May 1, 2011.  Contractual obligations of less than 1 year are obligations payable between May 1, 2011 through April 30, 2012, a portion of which has been paid prior to July 31, 2011.  Contractual obligations of 1-3 years are obligations payable between May 1, 2012 and April 30, 2014.

Pursuant to Item 9.01 of the Form 8-K, financial statements of a business acquired are required to be filed within 71 calendar days of the date that the initial Form 8-K was required to be filed. We are in the process of completing audits on the financial statements for JHE and intend to file such statements in accordance with Item 9.01 of Form 8-K on or about September 1, 2011.




Going Concern Consideration




Our registered independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the accompanying financial statements regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our registered independent auditors.




Due to this doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, management was open to new business opportunities which may prove more profitable to the shareholders of the Company.  Historically, we have been able to raise a limited amount of capital through private placements of our equity stock, but have been more successful as a result of the expanded business strategy. However, we are uncertain about our continued ability to raise funds privately. If we are unable to secure adequate capital to continue operations, our business may fail and our stockholders may lose some or all of their investment.




Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements




We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes of financial condition, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm






To the Board of Directors of
 Circle Star Energy Corp.
 Reno, Nevada
 
 We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Circle Star Energy Corp. (formerly Digital Valleys Corp.) (the “Company”) as of April 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from May 21, 2007 (inception) to April 30, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
 We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the 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 Circle Star Energy Corp. (formerly Digital Valleys Corp.) as of April 30, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from May 21, 2007 (inception) to April 30, 2011 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 negative working capital, has received no 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.

CIRCLE STAR ENERGY CORP.


(FORMERLY DIGITAL VALLEYS CORP.)


(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)


NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


APRIL 30, 2011





Note 1 – Nature of Operations





Digital Valleys Corp. (“the Company”), incorporated in the state of Nevada on May 21, 2007, is a company with business activities in online customer support / help desk system. The company has limited operations and is considered to be in the development stage.





Effective July 1, 2011, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada changing the name of the Company from Digital Valleys Corp. to Circle Star Energy Corp.





Note 2 – Going Concern





The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in the notes to the financial statements, the Company has no established source of revenue.  This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Without realization of additional capital, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty. The Company’s activities to date have been supported by equity financing.  It has sustained losses in all previous reporting periods with an inception to date loss of $97,800 as of April 30, 2011.





Management continues to seek funding from its shareholders and other qualified investors to pursue its business plan.  In the alternative, the Company may be amenable to a sale, merger or other acquisition in the event such transaction is deemed by management to be in the best interests of the shareholders.





Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies





Accounting Basis


These financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.





Financial Instruments


The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and an amount due to stockholder.





The amount due to stockholder is non interest-bearing.  It is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from its other financial instruments and that their fair values approximate their carrying values except where separately disclosed.





Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. The more significant areas requiring the use of estimates include asset impairment, stock-based compensation, and future income tax amounts. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from the estimates.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


APRIL 30, 2011





Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)





Property


The Company does not own any property.  Our office space is leased to us on a month to month basis for approximately $200 per month.





Advertising


The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.  The Company has had no advertising activity since inception.





Loss Per Share


Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the treasury stock method is used to calculate diluted earnings per share. For the years presented, this calculation proved to be anti-dilutive.





Dividends


The Company has not adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends.  No dividends have been paid during the period shown.





Income Taxes


The Company provides for income taxes using an asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  No provision for income taxes is included in the statement due to its immaterial amount, net of the allowance account, based on the likelihood of the Company to utilize the loss carry-forward.





Net Income Per Common Share


Net income (loss) per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common stock equivalents, if not anti-dilutive.  The Company has not issued any potentially dilutive common shares.





Recent Accounting Pronouncements


Circle Star Energy does not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.





Note 4 – Capital Stock





The company has 100,000,000 common shares authorized at a par value of $0.001 per share.





During the year ended April 30, 2008, the company issued 41,400,000 common shares for total proceeds of $55,000.





On July 12, 2010, the Company approved an 18-1 forward stock split. All share and per share data has been restated to reflect the split as if the shares had been outstanding since inception.





As of April 30, 2011, the Company had 41,400,000 common shares issued and outstanding, and the Company has no warrants or options outstanding.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


APRIL 30, 2011





Note 5 – Due to Stockholder





The amount owing to stockholder is unsecured, non-interest bearing and has no specific terms of repayment.





Note 6 – Related Party Transactions





As of April 30, 2011, there is a balance owing to a stockholder of the Company in the amount of $24,521.





The officers and directors of the Company are involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities that become available.  They may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and other business interests. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.





Note 7 – Income Taxes





The Company provides for income taxes using an asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect currently.





Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In the Company’s opinion, it is uncertain whether they will generate sufficient taxable income in the future to fully utilize the net deferred tax asset.  Accordingly, a valuation allowance equal to the deferred tax asset has been recorded.  The total gross deferred tax asset at April 30, 2011 is $21,516, which is calculated by multiplying a 22% estimated tax rate by the cumulative NOL of $97,800.  The valuation allowance at April 30, 2011 is $(21,516).





Note 8 – Subsequent Events





On June 2, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company elected David Brow as President, Secretary and Treasurer of the Company.  In addition, on June 2, 2011, Felipe Pati resigned as President, Secretary and Treasurer.





On June 15, 2011, the Company closed a private placement of units.  Under the terms of the private placement, the Company issued 4,800,000 units at a price of $0.25 per unit. Each unit consists of one share of common stock of the Company and one common share purchase warrant, which may be exercised to acquire one share of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.50 through June 15, 2013.





On June 16, 2011, the Company closed an acquisition under the terms of a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, effective as of June 1, 2011 (the “Purchase Agreement”), among High Plains Oil, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“High Plains”) and  JHE Holdings, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“JHE”), pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the membership interests in JHE from High Plains (the “Acquisition”).

Pursuant to the Plan, options to purchase shares of common stock of the Company may be granted to any person who is performing or who has been engaged to perform services of special importance to management of the Company in the operation, development and growth of the Company.  The maximum number of shares with respect to which stock options may be granted under the Plan may not exceed 3,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company.  The Plan permits the Company to grant both incentive and non-incentive stock options and requires each such grant to be evidenced by a stock option agreement, which shall be subject to the applicable provisions of the Plan.





On July 6, 2011, the Company granted to David Brow, the President and a Director of the Company, an option to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock of the Company under the Plan at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, which stock option was fully-vested on the date of grant.





On July 11, 2011, the Company, in connection with the employment agreement signed by the CFO, granted stock options under the Company’s 2011 Stock Option Plan, consisting of options to purchase up to an aggregate of 350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with 116,666 stock options vesting 12 months after the Effective Date, 116,667 stock options vesting 24 months after the Effective Date and 116,667 stock options vesting 36 months after the Effective Date. The exercise price for the stock options is $0.50.  In addition, the Company committed to issue, as a signing bonus for the CFO, 1,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company, of which 500,000 Bonus Shares vest and are payable immediately, 500,000 Bonus Shares vest and are payable on July 11, 2012 and 500,000 Bonus Shares vest and are payable on July 11, 2013.

Management’s Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting




Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s Board, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:




-
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly  reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;




-
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and




-
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.




Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.  Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.  Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process.  Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.




As of April 30, 2011 management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments.  Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below.  This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.




The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (3) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.  The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our President in connection with the audit of our financial statements as of April 30, 2011.




Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above did not have an effect on our financial results.  However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on the Board results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods. See, “Management’s Remediation Initiatives.”




Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm




This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act of 2010 and the Company only provided the management's report in this annual report.










Management’s Remediation Initiatives
  In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:




In July 2011, we hired a Chief Financial Officer and have therefore split the duties that were previously all concentrated in one officer. In June 2011, we increased the size of the Board to two directors and appointed an outside director. We plan to appoint additional outside directors in order to have a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management.




Management believes that the appointment of an outside director is a good step in curing its weaknesses and that the addition of more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the weakness noted as of the April 30, 2011.




We anticipate that these initiatives will be at least partially, if not fully, implemented by the end of our current fiscal year end, April 30, 2012. Additionally, we plan to test our updated controls and remediate our deficiencies by December 31, 2011.




Changes in internal controls over financial reporting




There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

  Mr. Pina was selected as the 2008 Emerging Businessman of the Year (Houston Hispanic Chamber of Commerce) and he is a member of the Association of Corporate Growth, the Turnaround Management Association and the Houston Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.


S. Jeffrey Johnson




Mr. Johnson was the founder, Chairman and CEO of Cano Petroleum, Inc. from 2004-2011, initially an OTC listed company which moved to the NYSE/Amex in 2005. Jeff was CEO of Scope Operating Company from 1998-2004 and was the founder and CEO of Acumen Resources, Inc. from 1993-1998. From 1989-1993, he was Vice President of Touchstone Capital.

Mr. Johnson also previously served on the NYSE/Amex Listed Company Counsel.










Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance




Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors, executive officers, and stockholders holding more than 10% of our outstanding common stock, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership of our common stock.  Executive officers, directors and greater-than-10% stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.  To our knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such reports furnished to us for the year ended April 30, 2011, Felipe Pati, the former sole director, officer and stockholder greater than 10% of the Company, failed to file 2 Section 16(a) reports.




Nominating Committee




As of the fiscal year end the Company did not have a nominating committee. The Board as a whole acts as the nominating committee.


Audit Committee




We do not have an audit committee at this time.  The Board has a whole acts as the audit committee. We believe that the members of our board of directors are capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. T he Company has not previously seen the need to retain an independent director who would qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" as prior to June 2011, the Company's management consisted of a sole officer and director and had limited funds to retain an "audit committee financial expert." The Company's operations, Board of Directors and executive team has recently expanded and the Board is considering whether the appointment of an audit committee financial expert is warranted.




Code of Ethics




The Company is aware of its corporate governance responsibilities and seeks to operate to the highest ethical standards. However, the Company has not adopted a code of ethics to date, as prior to June 2011, the Company's management consisted of a sole officer and director. The Company's operations, Board of Directors and executive team has recently expanded and the Company intends to adopt a code of ethics shortly.
