FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This annual report contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate
to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can
identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "will",
"should", "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates",
"predicts", "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other

and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our or our
industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be
materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking

activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable laws,
including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update
any of the forward-looking statements so as to conform these statements to
actual results.

As used in this annual report, the terms "we", "us", "our" mean Urban Barns
Foods Inc., unless otherwise indicated.

All dollar amounts refer to US dollars unless otherwise indicated.

SUMMARY

Urban Barns Foods Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 21, 2007
as HL Ventures Inc. to engage in the acquisition, exploration and development of
natural resource properties. We carried out exploration on one property during
2008 however the results were not promising and management determined it was in
the best interests of the shareholders to abandon the property and actively
pursue an appropriate plan of action to provide the best return on investment to
the shareholders.

We are a development stage company with no revenues and a limited operating
history. The principal executive offices are located at Office 404 - 4th Floor,
Albany House, 324-326 Regent Street, London W1B 3HH, United Kingdom. The U.S.
telephone and fax number is (702)993-6122.

We have sold $72,000 in equity securities and issued $7,000 in common stock in
exchange for mineral property expenses paid by our officer on our behalf. From
inception until the date of this filing we have had limited operating
activities. Our financial statements from inception (May 21, 2007) through the
year ended July 31, 2009 report no revenues and a net loss of $77,150. Our
independent auditor has issued an audit opinion for Urban Barns Foods Inc. which
includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue
as a going concern.

                                       3
<PAGE>
Our stock is listed on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol URBF, but there
has been no active trading market to date.

We have a total of 100,000,000 authorized common shares with a par value of
$0.001 per share with 43,400,000 common shares issued and outstanding on July
31, 2009. Subsequent to July 31, 2009, on August 19, 2009, our 7 for 1 forward
stock split, approved by the Board of Directors on July 22, 2009, became
effective resulting in there being 43,400,000 shares of common stock issued and
outstanding.

Cash provided by financing activities for the period from inception (May 21,
2007) through July 31, 2009 was $72,000 consisting of 1,600,000 shares of common
stock that were issued to our director, Mr. Hassan, in exchange for $8,000 US,
or $.005 per share and 3,200,000 shares of common stock that were issued to
twenty six investors for $64,000 or $0.02 per share pursuant to our Registration
Statement on Form SB-2. An additional 1,400,000 shares were issued to Mr. Hassan
in exchange for $7,000 in mineral property costs that he paid on behalf of the
company.

We have since abandoned our mineral property and entered into a share exchange
agreement with Urban Barns Foods Inc., a private company for the acquisition of
this company through the issuance of our securities. If this share exchange
transaction closes, we will file all required disclosure in a timely manner.
Until the transactions closes, our management will continue reviewing other
business combination opportunities.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

We have identified the following guidelines that we believe are important in
evaluating a prospective target business. We will use these guidelines in
evaluating business combination opportunities; however, we may decide to enter
into a business combination with a target business that does not meet all of
these guidelines. We may not be able to complete a business combination with any
target business that meets all or part of these guidelines due to our limited
human, capital and other resources. In the alternative, we may seek to
consummate a business combination with a company that may be financially
unstable or in its early stages of development or growth.

ESTABLISHED COMPANY WITH POSITIVE CASH FLOW. We intend to acquire an established
company with a history of positive cash earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization. We do not intend to acquire a start-up company, a
company with speculative business plans or a company that we believe has
significant risk attached to it.

STRONG COMPETITIVE POSITION IN INDUSTRY. We intend to analyze the strengths and
weaknesses of a target business relative to its competitors. The factors we will
consider include product quality, customer loyalty, cost impediments associated
with customers switching to competitors, patent protection, brand positioning
and capitalization. We will seek to acquire a business that has developed a
strong position within its market, is well positioned to capitalize on growth
opportunities and operates in an industry with significant barriers to entry. We
will seek to acquire a business that demonstrates advantages when compared to
its competitors, which may help to protect its market position and
profitability.

                                       4
<PAGE>
EXPERIENCED MANAGEMENT TEAM. We will seek to acquire a business that has an
experienced management team with a proven track record for delivering growth and
profits. We believe that the operating expertise of our management team will
complement, not replace, the target business' management team.

DIVERSIFIED CUSTOMER AND SUPPLIER BASE. We will seek to acquire a business that
has a diversified customer and supplier base. We believe that a company with a
diversified customer and supplier base is generally better able to endure
economic downturns, industry consolidation, changing business preferences and
other factors that may negatively impact its customers, suppliers and
competitors.

COMPETITION

In identifying, evaluating and selecting a target business, we may encounter
intense competition from other entities with business objectives similar to
ours. There are many blank check companies seeking to carry out a business plan
similar to ours that have completed initial public offerings in the United
States. Furthermore, there are a number of additional blank check companies in
the registration process that have not yet completed initial public offerings,
and there are likely to be more blank check companies that have completed
initial public offerings before we are able to successfully consummate a
business combination.

We may also be subject to competition from entities other than blank check
companies, which may be special acquisition companies or capital pool companies,
that have a business objective similar to ours, including venture capital firms,
leverage buyout firms and operating businesses looking to expand their
operations through the acquisition of a target business. Many of these entities
are well-established and have extensive experience identifying and effecting
business combinations either directly or through affiliates. Many of these
competitors possess greater technical, human and other resources than us and our
financial resources may be relatively limited in comparison to many of these
competitors.

While we believe that numerous potential target businesses may be available for
acquisition, our ability to acquire a certain attractive target business will be
limited by our available financial resources. This inherent competitive
limitation may give others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of a target
business. The fact that stockholder approval may delay the completion of a
business combination is an additional limitation that may be viewed unfavorably
by certain target businesses.

Any of these factors may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully
negotiating a business combination. Our management believes, however, that our
status as a public entity and our access to the United States public equity
markets may give us a competitive advantage in acquiring a target business with
significant growth potential on favorable terms over privately-held entities
with business objectives similar to ours.

If we succeed in effecting a business combination, there will likely be further
intense competition from competitors of the target business. We cannot assure
you that, subsequent to a business combination, we will have the resources or
ability to compete effectively.

                                       5
<PAGE>
We believe that we will succeed in consummating a business combination with a
target business or businesses as a result of our collective strengths:

SUCCESSFUL OPERATING EXPERIENCE. Our officer and sole director has experience in
business development, capital raising and the marketing and management of
various companies. We believe that his experience will provide us with a
competitive advantage in assessing whether a target business has the necessary
resources to compete successfully as a publicly-traded company.

EXPERIENCE IN IDENTIFYING AND EXECUTING ACQUISITIONS. Our management has
extensive experience in identifying and evaluating successful business
acquisition opportunities, performing in-depth due diligence, negotiating with
owners and management, structuring, financing and closing transactions in both
the public and private markets.

EXTENSIVE DEAL-SOURCING NETWORK. Our management has an extensive network of
business relationships with executives and board members of privately- and
publicly-held companies, as well as with private equity funds, venture capital
funds and hedge funds. We believe that these contacts will provide us with
significant business acquisition opportunities.

SOURCES OF TARGET BUSINESSES

We anticipate candidates for a business combination will be brought to our
attention by various unaffiliated sources, including executives, private equity
funds, venture capital funds, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and
other members of the financial community, who may present solicited or
unsolicited proposals. We expect such sources to become aware that we are
seeking a business combination candidate by a variety of means, such as publicly
available information relating to this offering, public relations and marketing
efforts, articles that may be published in industry trade papers discussing our
intention to effect a business combination, or direct contact by management of
potential target businesses.

Our management, as well as our existing stockholders and their affiliates, may
also bring to our attention target business candidates. We do not anticipate
engaging the services of professional firms that specialize in business
combinations on any formal basis. In no event will we pay our existing
management, our existing stockholders, or any entity with which they are
affiliated any finder's fee or other compensation for services rendered to us
prior to or in connection with the consummation of a business combination. In
addition, neither our existing management nor our existing stockholders will
receive any finder's fee, consulting fees or any similar fees or other
compensation from any other person or entity, including any target company, in
connection with any business combination other than any compensation or fees to
be received for any services provided following such a business combination.

The time and costs required to select and evaluate a target business and to
structure and complete a business combination cannot presently be ascertained
with any degree of certainty. Any costs incurred with respect to the
identification and evaluation of a prospective target business with which a
business combination is not ultimately completed will result in a loss to us and
reduce the amount of capital available to otherwise complete a business
combination.

                                       6
<PAGE>
FAIR MARKET VALUE OF TARGET BUSINESS

The fair market value of a target business will be determined by our Board of
Directors based upon standards generally accepted by the financial community,
such as actual and potential sales, earnings, cash flow, book value, and the
price for which comparable businesses have recently been sold. Other factors
contributing to a determination of the fair market value may include timing, the
reputation of the target business and the anticipated costs of completing the
transaction.

We are not required to obtain an opinion from an unaffiliated third party
regarding the fair market value of a target business we select at the time of
any transaction. We are also not required to obtain an opinion from an
unaffiliated third party indicating that the price we plan to pay is fair to our
stockholders from a financial perspective unless the target is affiliated with
our officers, directors, special advisors, existing stockholders or their
affiliates. We only recently became a blank cheque company, and because our sole
officer and director has no experience in evaluating business combinations for
blank check companies, his judgment may not meet the criteria that independent
investment banking firms or other similar blank check companies usually use.

PROBABLE LACK OF BUSINESS DIVERSIFICATION

It is probable that we will have the ability to effect only a single business
combination. Unlike other entities which may have the resources to complete
several business combinations with entities operating in multiple industries or
multiple areas of a single industry, we will likely not have sufficient
resources to diversify our operations or benefit from the possible spreading of
risks or offsetting of losses. By consummating a business combination with a
single entity or a limited number of entities, our lack of diversification may
leave us dependent upon the performance of a single business or a limited number
of businesses, and result in us being dependent upon the development or market
acceptance of a single or limited number of products or services.

LIMITED ABILITY TO EVALUATE THE MANAGEMENT OF A TARGET BUSINESS

Although we intend to closely scrutinize the management of prospective target
businesses when evaluating the potential to effect a business combination, we
cannot assure you that our assessment will prove to be correct. In addition, we
cannot assure you that new members who join our management team following a
business combination will have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities
to manage a public company. Furthermore, the future role of our sole officer and
director, if any, in a target business cannot presently be stated with any
certainty. While it is possible that our current officer and director will
remain associated with us in some capacity following a business combination, it
is unlikely that he will devote his full efforts to our affairs after the
consummation of a business combination. Moreover, we cannot assure you that our
officers and directors will have substantial experience or knowledge concerning
the operations of any particular target business.

OPPORTUNITY FOR STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL OF BUSINESS COMBINATION

We may not submit a business combination to our stockholders for approval if the
nature of the transaction would not ordinarily require stockholder approval
under applicable governing laws. If we are required to submit the transaction to
our stockholders for approval, we will furnish our stockholders with proxy

                                       7
<PAGE>
solicitation materials, which will include a description of the operations of
the target business and certain required financial information regarding the
business. Also, we will proceed with the business combination only if a majority
of the votes cast by the holders of our common stock at the meeting are in favor
of the business combination. To compensate for a potential shortfall in cash, we
may be required to structure the business combination, in whole or in part,
using the issuance of our common stock as consideration. Accordingly, any
increase in the number of shares of our issued and outstanding common stock
could hinder our ability to consummate a business combination in an efficient
manner or to optimize our capital structure.

When we seek stockholder approval for a business combination, we will not offer
each stockholder a right to have their shares of common stock redeemed for cash
if the stockholder votes against the business combination and the business
combination is approved and completed.

BANKRUPTCY OR SIMILAR PROCEEDINGS

There has been no bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding.

REORGANIZATIONS, PURCHASE OR SALE OF ASSETS

There have been no material reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, or
purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of
business.

COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENT REGULATION

Other than general business and tax laws we are not subject to any other
government regulations.

PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, FRANCHISES, CONCESSIONS, ROYALTY AGREEMENTS, OR LABOR
CONTRACTS

We have no current plans for any registrations such as patents, trademarks,
copyrights, franchises, concessions, royalty agreements or labor contracts. We
will assess the need for any copyright, trademark or patent applications on an
ongoing basis.

NEED FOR GOVERNMENT APPROVAL FOR ITS PRODUCTS OR SERVICES

We are not required to apply for or have any government approval for our
products or services.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS DURING THE LAST TWO YEARS

We have not expended funds for research and development costs since inception.

EMPLOYEES AND EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

Our only employee is our officer, Deniz Hassan who currently devotes 4-5 hours
per week to company matters, he will devote as much time as the board of
directors determines is necessary to manage the affairs of the company. There
are no formal employment agreements between the company and our current
employee.

REPORTS TO SECURITIES HOLDERS

We provide an annual report that includes audited financial information to our
shareholders. We will make our financial information equally available to any
interested parties or investors through compliance with the disclosure rules of
Regulation S-K for a small business issuer under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. We are subject to disclosure filing requirements, including filing Form
10K annually and Form 10Q quarterly. In addition, we will file Form 8K and other
proxy and information statements from time to time as required. We do not intend
to voluntarily file the above reports in the event that our obligation to file
such reports is suspended under the Exchange Act. The public may read and copy
any materials that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, ("SEC"),
at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549. The
public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by
calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site
(http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements,
and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

We do not currently own any property. The office facilities at Office 404 - 4th
Floor, Albany House, 324-326 Regent Street, London W1B 3HH, United Kingdom are
provided to us on a rent free basis by the directors of the company. The
facilities include telephone, fax, a reception area and office and meeting
facilities. Management believes the current premises are sufficient for its
needs at this time.

We currently have no investment policies as they pertain to real estate, real
estate interests or real estate mortgages.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are not currently involved in any legal proceedings and we are not aware of
any pending or potential legal actions.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

On July 22, 2009 and immediately effective, the Company filed an Amendment to
its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada to change
its name from HL Ventures Inc. to Urban Barns Foods Inc. and to increase the
Company's authorized capital from 75,000,000 common shares with $0.001 par value
to 100,000,000 common shares with $0.001 par value. The Company received written
consent from holders of 51.6% of the Company's common stock for the increase in
authorized capital and the name change.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains forward-looking statements that involve risk and
uncertainties. We use words such as "anticipate", "believe", "plan", "expect",
"future", "intend", and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking
statements. Investors should be aware that all forward-looking statements
contained within this filing are good faith estimates of management as of the
date of this filing. Our actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the
risks faced by us as described in the "Risk Factors" section and elsewhere in
this report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We are still in our development stage and have generated no revenues to date.

We incurred  operating  expenses of $55,715 and $13,845 for the years ended July
31, 2009 and 2008,  respectively.  These expenses consisted of general operating
expenses  and  professional  fees  incurred  in  connection  with the day to day
operation of our business and the preparation and filing of our required reports
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Our net loss from inception (May 21, 2007) through July 31, 2009 was $77,150.

We have sold $72,000 in equity securities and issued $7,000 in common stock in
exchange for mineral property expenses paid by our officer on our behalf.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our cash  balance at July 31, 2009 was $2,823 with  outstanding  liabilities  of
$1,248. If we experience a shortage of funds prior to generating  revenue we may
utilize funds from our director,  who has  informally  agreed to advance  funds,
however he has no formal commitment,  arrangement or legal obligation to advance
or loan funds to us.

PLAN OF OPERATION

We expect that our total expenses will increase over the next year as we
increase business operations through the acquisition of an operating business.
We have not been able to reach the break-even point since our inception and have
had to rely on outside capital resources. We do not anticipate making any
revenues for the next year. Over the next 12 months, we plan to close the
business combination with Urban Barns Foods Inc., the private company or
identify another partner for a business combination.

In order to find and negotiate a business combination or acquire an operating
business, we may incur expenses that outpace our cash resources. Should we
require additional capital resources, we will proceed by way of private
placements, loans or possibly a direct offering. There can be no assurance we
will successfully raise sufficient capital to meet our future cash requirements.

We expect to require approximately $230,000 in financing to acquire a potential
business and fund its operations over the next 12 months (beginning December
2009), as follows:

                                                 Target completion   Estimated

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of
accounting. The Company has elected a July 31, year-end.

BASIC EARNINGS PER SHARE

In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", which
specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings

                                       11
<PAGE>
(loss) per share for entities with publicly held common stock. SFAS No. 128
supersedes the provisions of APB No. 15, and requires the presentation of basic
earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings (loss) per share. The Company has
adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 128 effective May 21, 2007 (inception). Basic
net loss per share amounts is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are the
same as basic earnings per share due to the lack of dilutive items in the
Company.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

USE OF ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. In accordance with FASB 16 all
adjustments are normal and recurring.

INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are provided in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), Accounting for Income Taxes. A deferred tax asset
or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax
reporting and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax expense (benefit)
results from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and
liabilities.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of
management, it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred
tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted
for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEALE AND BEERS, CPAs
PCAOB & CPAB REGISTERED AUDITORS

             REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors
Urban Barns Foods Inc. (f.k.a. HL Ventures, Inc.)
(A Development Stage Company)

We have  audited  the  accompanying  balance  sheets of Urban  Barns  Foods Inc.
(f.k.a. HL Ventures, Inc.) (A Development Stage Company) as of July 31, 2009 and
July 31, 2008, and the related  statements of operations,  stockholders'  equity
and cash  flows for the years  ended July 31,  2009 and July 31,  2008 and since
inception on May 21, 2007 through July 31, 2009. These financial  statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conduct  our  audits in  accordance  with  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.  An  audit  includes
examining,  on a test basis,  evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the  financial  statements.  An audit also  includes  assessing  the  accounting
principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as well as
evaluating the overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We believe that our
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 Urban Barns Foods Inc. (f.k.a.
HL Ventures,  Inc.) (A  Development  Stage Company) as of July 31, 2009 and July
31, 2008,  and the related  statements of operations,  stockholders'  equity and
cash  flows  for the  years  ended  July 31,  2009 and July 31,  2008 and  since
inception on May 21, 2007 through July 31, 2009, in conformity  with  accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The  accompanying  financial  statements  have been  prepared  assuming that the
Company  will  continue  as a  going  concern.  As  discussed  in  Note 3 to the
financial  statements,  the Company has had no  operation  since  inception  and
generated  a net loss of  $77,150,  which  raises  substantial  doubt  about its
ability to continue as a going  concern.  Management's  plans  concerning  these
matters are also  described in Note 3. The  financial  statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note: On August 19, 2009 the Company effected a 7 for 1 forward split of its
     share capital such that every one share of common stock issued and
     outstanding prior to the split was exchanged for three post-split shares of
     common stock. This forward split has been retro-actively applied to all
     previous periods.

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Urban Barns Foods Inc. (f/k/a HL Ventures Inc., the "Company") was  incorporated
under  the laws of the State of Nevada  on May 21,  2007.  On July 22,  2009 the
Company  amended  its  Articles  of  Incorporation  to  change  its name from HL
Ventures  Inc. to Urban Barns  Foods Inc.  as well as  increase  the  authorized
shares to 100,000,000,  $0.001 par value common shares from  75,000,000,  $0.001
par value common  shares.  The Company was formed to engage in the  acquisition,
exploration and development of natural resource properties.

The Company  conducted  exploration  activities on its Luk 1-4 mineral claims in
Esmeralda  County,  Nevada during  April-May 2008 but results of the exploration
program were limited and it was eventually  decided,  after discussions with the
Company's  consulting  geologist,  to abandon  any  further  exploration  on the
claims.  Based on the poor  showings  of its  exploration  program  the  Company
proceeded  to look at  other  business  opportunities  in the aim of  maximizing
shareholder wealth.

On July 22,  2009,  the  Company  entered  into a binding  letter of intent (the
"LOI") with Urban Barns Foods Inc., an Alberta company  ("UB").  Pursuant to the
terms of the LOI,  the Company and UB have agreed to engage in a share  exchange
which,  if completed,  would result in UB becoming a wholly owned  subsidiary of
the Company.  On July 22, 2009 the Company filed an amendment to its articles of
incorporation to change its name from HL Ventures Inc. to Urban Barns Foods Inc.

The  Company  is in the  development  stage.  Its  activities  to date have been
limited to capital formation, organization, development of its business plan and
had previously commenced limited exploration activities on its mining claims.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The Company's  financial  statements  are prepared  using the accrual  method of
accounting. The Company has elected a July 31 year-end.

B. BASIC EARNINGS PER SHARE

In February  1997,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 128,  "Earnings  Per Share",  which
specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings
(loss) per share for entities  with  publicly  held common  stock.  SFAS No. 128
supersedes the provisions of APB No. 15, and requires the  presentation of basic
earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings (loss) per share. The Company has
adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 128 effective May 21, 2007 (inception).

                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                  July 31, 2009
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Basic net loss per share  amounts is computed  by  dividing  the net loss by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share
are the same as basic  earnings  per share due to the lack of dilutive  items in
the Company.

C. CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid  investments  purchased with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

D. USE OF ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with 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  reporting  period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. In accordance with FASB 16 all
adjustments are normal and recurring.

E. INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are provided in accordance  with Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109),  Accounting for Income Taxes. A deferred tax asset
or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax
reporting and net operating loss  carryforwards.  Deferred tax expense (benefit)
results  from  the net  change  during  the  year of  deferred  tax  assets  and
liabilities.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of
management,  it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred
tax assets will be realized.  Deferred tax assets and  liabilities  are adjusted
for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

F. REVENUE

The Company  records  revenue on the accrual  basis when all goods and  services
have been performed and  delivered,  the amounts are readily  determinable,  and
collection  is  reasonably  assured.  The Company has not  generated any revenue
since its inception.

G. ADVERTISING

The  Company  will  expense its  advertising  when  incurred.  There has been no
advertising since inception.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2008,  the FASB  issued FASB Staff  Position  EITF  03-6-1,  DETERMINING
WHETHER   INSTRUMENTS   GRANTED  IN   SHARE-BASED   PAYMENT   TRANSACTIONS   ARE
PARTICIPATING SECURITIES, ("FSP EITF 03-6-1"). FSP EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether
instruments  granted  in  share-based  payment  transactions  are  participating
securities  prior  to  vesting,  and  therefore  need  to  be  included  in  the
computation  of earnings  per share under the  two-class  method as described in
FASB Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share."
FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective  for financial  statements  issued for fiscal years
beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and earlier  adoption is prohibited.  We
are not required to adopt FSP EITF  03-6-1;  neither do we believe that FSP EITF
03-6-1 would have material  effect on our  consolidated  financial  position and
results of operations if adopted.

In May 2008, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
163, "Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-and  interpretation
of FASB  Statement  No. 60".  SFAS No. 163 clarifies how Statement 60 applies to
financial   guarantee  insurance   contracts,   including  the  recognition  and
measurement  of premium  revenue and claims  liabilities.  This  statement  also
requires expanded  disclosures about financial  guarantee  insurance  contracts.
SFAS No. 163 is effective  for fiscal years  beginning on or after  December 15,
2008, and interim periods within those years.  SFAS No. 163 has no effect on the
Company's  financial position,  statements of operations,  or cash flows at this
time.

In May 2008, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting  Principles".  SFAS No. 162
sets  forth  the  level of  authority  to a given  accounting  pronouncement  or
document by  category.  Where there might be  conflicting  guidance  between two
categories,  the more  authoritative  category will  prevail.  SFAS No. 162 will
become  effective 60 days after the SEC approves  the PCAOB's  amendments  to AU
Section 411 of the AICPA Professional  Standards.  SFAS No. 162 has no effect on
the Company's  financial  position,  statements of operations,  or cash flows at
this time.

In March 2008, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board, or FASB,  issued SFAS
No. 161,  Disclosures  about Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities--an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. This standard requires companies to provide
enhanced   disclosures   about  (a)  how  and  why  an  entity  uses  derivative
instruments,  (b) how  derivative  instruments  and  related  hedged  items  are
accounted for under Statement 133 and its related  interpretations,  and (c) how
derivative  instruments  and related  hedged items affect an entity's  financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. This Statement is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

November 15, 2008, with early  application  encouraged.  The Company has not yet
adopted  the  provisions  of SFAS No.  161,  but does  not  expect  it to have a
material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.

In  December  2007,  the SEC  issued  Staff  Accounting  Bulletin  (SAB) No. 110
regarding  the use of a  "simplified"  method,  as discussed in SAB No. 107 (SAB
107),  in  developing  an  estimate of expected  term of "plain  vanilla"  share
options in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (R), Share-Based Payment. In particular,
the staff  indicated in SAB 107 that it will accept a company's  election to use
the  simplified  method,  regardless  of  whether  the  company  has  sufficient
information to make more refined estimates of expected term. At the time SAB 107
was issued,  the staff believed that more detailed  external  information  about
employee exercise behavior (e.g.,  employee exercise patterns by industry and/or
other categories of companies)  would,  over time,  become readily  available to
companies.  Therefore,  the staff  stated in SAB 107 that it would not  expect a
company to use the simplified  method for share option grants after December 31,
2007.  The staff  understands  that such  detailed  information  about  employee
exercise behavior may not be widely available by December 31, 2007. Accordingly,
the staff will continue to accept, under certain  circumstances,  the use of the
simplified  method  beyond  December 31, 2007.  The Company  currently  uses the
simplified  method for "plain  vanilla"  share  options and  warrants,  and will
assess the impact of SAB 110 for fiscal year 2009.  It is not believed that this
will have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

In December  2007,  the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,  Noncontrolling  Interests  in
Consolidated  Financial  Statements--an  amendment of ARB No. 51. This statement
amends  ARB  51  to  establish   accounting  and  reporting  standards  for  the
noncontrolling  interest  in a  subsidiary  and  for  the  deconsolidation  of a
subsidiary.  It clarifies that a  noncontrolling  interest in a subsidiary is an
ownership interest in the consolidated  entity that should be reported as equity
in the  consolidated  financial  statements.  Before this  statement was issued,
limited guidance existed for reporting  noncontrolling  interests.  As a result,
considerable  diversity in practice existed.  So-called  minority interests were
reported in the consolidated  statement of financial  position as liabilities or
in the mezzanine section between liabilities and equity. This statement improves
comparability  by eliminating  that  diversity.  This statement is effective for
fiscal years,  and interim  periods  within those fiscal years,  beginning on or
after  December 15, 2008 (that is,  January 1, 2009,  for entities with calendar
year-ends). Earlier adoption is prohibited. The effective date of this statement
is the same as that of the related  Statement  141 (revised  2007).  The Company
will adopt this Statement  beginning March 1, 2009. It is not believed that this
will have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Combinations,  but retains the  fundamental  requirements in Statement 141. This
Statement  establishes  principles and  requirements  for how the acquirer:  (a)
recognizes  and measures in its financial  statements  the  identifiable  assets
acquired,  the  liabilities  assumed,  and any  noncontrolling  interest  in the
acquiree;  (b)  recognizes  and measures  the goodwill  acquired in the business
combination  or a  gain  from  a  bargain  purchase;  and  (c)  determines  what
information to disclose to enable users of the financial  statements to evaluate
the nature and financial  effects of the business  combination.  This  statement
applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is
on or after the beginning of the first annual  reporting  period beginning on or
after  December  15,  2008.  An entity may not apply it before  that  date.  The
effective  date of this  statement  is the  same  as  that of the  related  FASB
Statement  No.  160,   Noncontrolling   Interests  in   Consolidated   Financial
Statements. The Company will adopt this statement beginning March 1, 2009. It is
not  believed  that  this will  have an  impact  on the  Company's  consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN

The  accompanying  financial  statements are presented on a going concern basis.
The Company had no operations during the period from May 21, 2007 (inception) to
July 31,  2009  and  generated  a net loss of  $77,150.  This  condition  raises
substantial  doubt about the Company's  ability to continue as a going  concern.
Even though the Company is  currently in the  development  stage and has minimal
expenses,  management does not believe that the company's current cash of $2,823
will be  sufficient to cover the expenses they will incur during the next twelve
months.

NOTE 4. WARRANTS AND OPTIONS

There are no warrants or options outstanding to acquire any additional shares of
common.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company neither owns nor leases any real or personal property.  The officers
and directors of the Company are involved in other business  activities and may,
in the future,  become involved in other business  opportunities  as they become
available.

Thus they may face a conflict in  selecting  between the Company and their other
business  interests.  The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution
of such conflicts.

                                                             As of July 31, 2009

Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon  sufficient  future taxable
income during the period that deductible temporary differences and carryforwards
are expected to be available to reduce  taxable  income.  As the  achievement of
required  future taxable income is uncertain,  the Company  recorded a valuation
allowance.

NOTE 7. NET OPERATING LOSSES

approximately $77,150. Net operating loss carryforward expires twenty years from

Transactions,  other than  employees'  stock  issuance,  are in accordance  with
paragraph 8 of SFAS 123. Thus issuances shall be accounted for based on the fair
value of the consideration received. Transactions with employees' stock issuance

accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration  received or the fair
value  of  the  equity   instruments   issued,  or  whichever  is  more  readily
determinable.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including
our principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, we have
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period
covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that
our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the material
information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission
reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our
principal executive and financial officer, recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission
rules and forms relating to our company, particularly during the period when
this report was being prepared.

MANAGEMENT'S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, for the company.

Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made
only in accordance with authorizations of its management and directors; and (3)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.

Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness
of any system of internal control, and accordingly, even effective internal
control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial
statement preparation and may not prevent or detect material misstatements. In
addition, effective internal control at a point in time may become ineffective
in future periods because of changes in conditions or due to deterioration in
the degree of compliance with our established policies and procedures.

A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant
deficiencies, that results in there being a more than remote likelihood that a
material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be
prevented or detected.

                                       25
<PAGE>
Under the supervision and with the participation of our president, management
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting, as of July 31, 2009, based on the framework set forth in
Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our evaluation under
this framework, management concluded that our internal control over financial
reporting was not effective as of the evaluation date due to the factors stated
below.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over
financial reporting as of evaluation date and identified the following material
weaknesses:

INSUFFICIENT RESOURCES: We have an inadequate number of personnel with requisite
expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting.

INADEQUATE  SEGREGATION OF DUTIES:  We have an inadequate number of personnel to
properly implement control procedures.

LACK OF AUDIT COMMITTEE & OUTSIDE DIRECTORS ON THE COMPANY'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS:
We do not have a functioning audit committee or outside directors on our board
of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and
monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.

Management is committed to improving its internal controls and will (1) continue
to use third party specialists to address shortfalls in staffing and to assist
the Company with accounting and finance responsibilities, (2) increase the
frequency of independent reconciliations of significant accounts which will
mitigate the lack of segregation of duties until there are sufficient personnel
and (3) may consider appointing outside directors and audit committee members in
the future.

Management, including our president, has discussed the material weakness noted
above with our independent registered public accounting firm. Due to the nature
of this material weakness, there is a more than remote likelihood that
misstatements which could be material to the annual or interim financial
statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered
public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Management's report was not subject to attestation by the our registered public
accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide
only management's report in this annual report.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that
occurred during the last fiscal quarter for our fiscal year ended July 31, 2009
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.

CODE OF ETHICS

Our board of directors adopted our code of ethical conduct that applies to all
of our employees and directors, including our principal executive officer,
principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, and
persons performing similar functions.

We believe the adoption of our Code of Ethical Conduct is consistent with the
requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Our Code of Ethical Conduct is designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

                                       28
<PAGE>
     *    Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual
          or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional
          relationships;
     *    Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports
          and documents that we file or submit to the Securities & Exchange
          Commission and in other public communications made by us;
     *    Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
     *    The prompt internal reporting to an appropriate person or persons

          and
     *    Accountability for adherence to the Code.

CONFLICTS

None as of the date of this filing.

NOMINATING COMMITTEE

We have not implemented any material changes to the procedures by which security
holders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors during the twelve
months ended July 31, 2009.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

The functions of the Audit Committee are currently carried out by our Board of
Directors. Our Board of Directors has determined that we do not have an audit
committee financial expert on our Board of Directors carrying out the duties of
the Audit Committee. The Board of Directors has determined that the cost of
hiring a financial expert to act as a director of us and to be a member of the
Audit Committee or otherwise perform Audit Committee functions outweighs the
benefits of having a financial expert on the Audit Committee.

SIGNIFICANT EMPLOYEES

Other than the senior officer described above, we do not expect any other
individuals to make a significant contribution to our business.

FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS

None.

INVOLVEMENT IN CERTAIN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

None of our directors, executive officers, promoters or control persons have
been involved in any of the following events during the past five years:

     *    any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such
          person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time
          of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

                                       29
<PAGE>
     *    any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending
          criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor
          offenses);
     *    being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently
          reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent
          jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring,
          suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of
          business, securities or banking activities; or
     *    being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action),
          the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a
          federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has
          not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP COMPLIANCE REPORTING

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires a company's
directors and officers, and persons who own more than ten-percent (10%) of the
company's common stock, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
reports of ownership on Form 3 and reports of change in ownership on Forms 4 and
5. Such officers, directors and ten-percent stockholders are also required to
furnish the company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based on
the fact that we do not have a class of securities registered under the Section
12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 none of our 10% shareholders,
directors or officers have been required for file reports under Section 16(a) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Our current officer receives no compensation.  The current Board of Directors is
comprised of Mr. Lee and Mr. Hassan.

There are no current employment agreements between the Company and its executive
officer.

On June 29, 2007, a total of 1,600,000 shares of common stock were issued to Mr.
Hassan in exchange for cash in the amount of $8,000 U.S., or $.005 per share. On
July 18, 2007 an additional 1,400,000 shares were issued to him in exchange for
$7,000 in mineral property expenses he paid on behalf of the Company. Pursuant
to the 7 for 1 forward stock split that became effective on August 19, 2009, Mr.
Hassan currently holds 20,500,000 shares of common stock.

The terms of these stock issuances were as fair to the Company, in the opinion
of the board of directors, as could have been made with an unaffiliated third
party.

Mr. Hassan currently devotes approximately 4-5 hours per week to manage the
affairs of the Company. Mr. Lee currently devotes 1-2 hours per week to the
Company. Mr. Lee and Mr. Hassan have agreed to work with no remuneration until
such time as the Company receives sufficient revenues necessary to provide
management salaries. At this time, we cannot accurately estimate when sufficient
revenues will occur to implement this compensation, or what the amount of the
compensation will be.

PENSION, RETIREMENT OR SIMILAR BENEFIT PLANS

There are no arrangements or plans in which we provide pension, retirement or
similar benefits for directors or executive officers. We have no material bonus
or profit sharing plans pursuant to which cash or non-cash compensation is or
may be paid to our directors or executive officers, except that stock options
may be granted at the discretion of the Board of Directors or a committee
thereof.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

We reimburse our directors for expenses incurred in connection with attending
board meetings but did not pay director's fees or other cash compensation for
services rendered as a director in the year ended July 31, 2009.

We have no standard arrangement pursuant to which our directors are compensated
for their services in their capacity as directors. The Board of Directors may
award special remuneration to any director undertaking any special services on
behalf of our company other than services ordinarily required of a director. No
director received and/or accrued any compensation for his services as a
director, including committee participation and/or special assignments.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

We do not currently have a compensation committee of the Board of Directors or a
committee performing similar functions. The Board of Directors as a whole
participates in the consideration of executive officer and director
compensation.
