The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 3, 2007 under the name Descanso Agency, Inc. Originally incorporated to enter the travel industry by establishing a specialized service travel company that serves the needs of Mexican and United States wedding planners, travel agents, and clients seeking upscale personal attention at unique hotels and spas located in Mexico. Our core business plan was intended to focus on the wedding and party destination travel. However, due to a lack of available financing, the Company ceased its current operations in September 2009 relating to the travel industry and began seeking out viable alternatives.
However, on October 16, 2009, we filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State to change our name to Pacific Blue Energy Corp. The name change reflected the Company's refocused business as an independent alternative energy company.
Accordingly, we have begun the process of approaching potential investment partners and have also begun seeking out potential opportunities, including joint venture opportunities, to move forward with our new business model. We will attempt to finance our operations through a combination of privately placed debt and/or equity. And with the recent alignment of a number of positive factors including technical advances, tax incentives, rising environmental awareness and the state of the economy; the availability of clean, affordable, solar and wind powered electricity to power homes and small businesses is becoming a reality.
On December 7, 2009, we entered into a Product Sales Agreement (the "Agreement") with Siliken Renewable Energy, Inc. ("Siliken"), pursuant to which the Company is to purchase and sell products manufactured by Siliken. Siliken is in the business of manufacturing and selling photovoltaic modules and related products, namely solar panels, inverters and racking ("Products"). In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement, we agreed to an initial order of 50kw by which Siliken will provide solar panels, inverters and racking. Additionally, we have agreed to pay for said products in full, at a pre tax sale price of $2.33 per watt, before delivery by Siliken. We believe that the Agreement with Silken will allow us to being to facilitate implementing our business plan.
We believe that we are positioning the Company to take advantage of technological advances, recent federal renewable energy and other tax incentives, and a revitalized interest in the environment that will drive the coming surge in the U.S. and global alternative/renewable energy market.
The Industry
Wind Generated Electricity
At the end of 2008, worldwide wind farm capacity was 120,791 megawatts (MW), representing an increase of 28.8 percent during the year, and wind power produced some 1.3% of global electricity consumption. The Company is evaluating partnerships with leading edge wind turbine manufacturers for eventual importation into the U.S. and other markets.
Photovoltaic Solar Energy
The market potential of the larger scale applications of PV cells is one of the two main focal points of Pacific Blue Energys business direction. Solar panels use photovoltaic (PV) cells to convert sunlight directly into direct current (DC) electricity. They have no moving parts, are long lived and are low maintenance. Not only is PV solar energy clean and renewable, but it is also proven as a viable and fully commercialized solution.
We hope to work with leading global manufacturers of photovoltaic (PV) cells and modules. Our aim is to bring the best value to its customers by offering the latest advances in solar technology and leveraging the best manufacturing solutions available worldwide. The Company is currently evaluating the establishment of manufacturing facilities in China as well as the securing of the exclusive rights to certain PV solar products for both the U.S. and International markets. Our plans include vertical integration of the PV cell manufacturing process to provide an end-to-end solution for its customers and partners.

Our Strategy
As opportunities become available and appear attractive to our management we will attempt to raise such funds necessary to conduct the appropriate due diligence and research to determine if it would be beneficial to the Company in both the short and long term. Our current management believes that current market conditions are creating situations that could result in the opportunity for viable opportunities as an alternative energy company.
It is anticipated that funding for the next twelve months will be required to maintain our operations. Attempts are ongoing to raise funds through private placements and said attempts will continue throughout 2009. We may also use various debt instruments as well as public offerings to raise needed capital during 2009. There can be no assurance, however, that any of these methods of financing will be successful in helping fund our operations.
The operating expenses will increase as we undertake our plan of operations. The increase will be attributable to the continuing acquisition programs and continued professional fees that will be incurred.
Regulatory Requirements
Environmental Issues and Regulations
If successful, we will become subject to a variety of foreign, federal, state and local governmental laws and regulations related to generation and delivery of electricity and the purchase, storage, use and disposal of hazardous materials. In some cases, these laws provide local utilities with monopoly rights, adversely constraining our ability to easily penetrate economically attractive markets. In other cases, if we fail to comply with present or future environmental laws and regulations, we could be subject to fines, suspension of production or a cessation of operations. In addition, under some foreign, federal, state and local statutes and regulations, a governmental agency may seek recovery and response costs from operators of property where releases of hazardous substances have occurred or are ongoing, even if the operator was not responsible for the release or otherwise was not at fault.
In addition to those we have identified, we continue to seek markets that allow for the generation and sale of electricity by third party developers. We also believe that we will apply for and receive all environmental permits necessary to conduct our business. We are not aware of any pending or threatened environmental investigation, proceeding or action by foreign, federal, state or local agencies, or third parties involving our current facilities. Any failure by us to control the use of or to restrict adequately the discharge of hazardous substances could subject us to substantial financial liabilities, operational interruptions and adverse publicity, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Dependence on Government Subsidies and Incentives
Various subsidies and tax incentive programs exist at the federal, state and local level to encourage the adoption of solar power including capital cost rebates, performance-based incentives, feed-in tariffs, tax credits and net metering. Capital cost rebates provide funds to customers based on the cost or size of a customers solar power system. Government policies, in the form of regulation and incentives, have accelerated the adoption of solar technologies by businesses and consumers.
Performance-based incentives provide funding to a customer based on the energy produced by their solar system. Under a feed-in tariff subsidy, the government sets prices that regulated utilities are required to pay for renewable electricity generated by end-users. The prices are set above market rates and may be differentiated based on system size or application. Feed-in tariffs pay customers for solar power system generation based on kilowatt-hours produced, at a rate generally guaranteed for a period of time. Tax credits reduce a customers taxes at the time the taxes are due. Net metering programs allow a customer, who generates more energy than used, to sell electricity back to the utility, which will spin the meter backwards. During these periods, the customer lends electricity to the grid, retrieving an equal amount of power at a later time. Net metering programs enable end-users to sell excess solar electricity to their local utility in exchange for a credit against their utility bills. Net metering programs are usually combined with rebates, and do not provide cash payments if delivered solar electricity exceeds their utility bills.
Renewable Energy Certificates
In addition, several states have adopted renewable portfolio standards (RPS), which mandate that a certain portion of electricity delivered to customers come from a set of eligible renewable energy resources. Under a renewable portfolio standard, the government requires regulated utilities to supply a portion of their total electricity in the form of renewable electricity. Some programs further specify that a portion of the renewable energy quota must be from solar electricity. A utility can receive credit for renewable energy produced by a 3rd party by either purchasing the electricity directly from the producer or paying a fee to obtain the right to renewable energy generated but used by the generator or sold to another party. This Renewable Energy Credit allows the utility to add this electricity to its RPS requirement total without actually expending the capital for generating facilities.
5
Despite the benefits of solar power, there are also certain risks and challenges faced by solar power. Solar power is currently dependent on government subsidies to promote acceptance by mass markets. We believe that the near-term growth in the solar energy industry depends significantly on the continued availability and size of these government subsidies and on the ability of the industry to reduce the cost of generating solar electricity. The market for solar energy products is, and will continue to be, heavily dependent on public policies that support growth of solar energy. There can be no assurances that such policies will continue. Decrease in the level of rebates, incentives or other governmental support for solar energy would have an adverse affect on our ability to sell our products.
Challenges Facing Solar Power
The solar power industry must overcome the following challenges to achieve widespread commercialization of its products:
·
Decrease Per Kilowatt-hour Cost to Customer. In most cases, the current cost of solar electricity is greater than the cost of retail electricity from the utility network. While government programs and consumer preference have accelerated the use of solar power for on-grid applications, product cost remains one of the largest impediments to growth. To provide an economically attractive alternative to conventional electricity network power, the solar power industry must continually reduce manufacturing and installation costs.
·
Achieve Higher Conversion Efficiencies. Increasing the conversion efficiency of solar cells reduces the material and assembly costs required to build a solar panel with a given generation capacity. Increased conversion efficiency also reduces the amount of rooftop space required for a solar power system, thus lowering the cost of installation per consumer.
·
Improve Product Appearance. We believe that aesthetics are a barrier to wider adoption of solar power products, particularly among residential consumers. Historically, residential and commercial customers have resisted solar power products, in part, because most solar panels are perceived as unattractive.
Ultimately, federal and state government, and locally sponsored, support for the solar industry is expected to reduce or stop. At or before that time, solar technologies must be priced, as a function of purchase price and performance, to compete cost effectively with traditional electricity generating technologies.
Marketing
PV Solar Electricity
According to a report released in July, 2009, by IntertechPira, a market research firm in the UK, the global photovoltaic (PV) market is expected to double within the next five years, reaching US$48 billion by 2014. Wafer-based silicon will continue as the dominant technology, but amorphous thin-film and cadmium telluride (CdTe) technologies will gain ground, and are expected to account for a combined 22% of the market by 2014.
Wind Power
There is huge and growing global demand for emissions-free wind power, which can be installed quickly, virtually everywhere in the world. Wind energy has grown into an important player in the worlds energy markets, with the 2008 market for turbine installations worth about $56.5 billion. Over the past ten years, global wind power capacity has continued to grow at an average cumulative rate of over 30%, and 2008 was another record year with more than 27 GW of new installations, bringing the total up to over 120 GW. The United States passed Germany to become the number one market in wind power, and Chinas total capacity doubled for the fourth year in a row.
Insurance
We do not maintain any insurance and do not intend to maintain insurance in the future. Because we do not have any insurance, if we are made a party to a liability action, we may not have sufficient funds to defend the litigation. If that occurs a judgment could be rendered against us that could cause us to cease operations.
6
Competition
The market for solar power products is competitive and continually evolving. We expect to face increased competition, which may result in our inability to develop sustaining revenue. We will compete with companies large and small, public and private, and some will be suppliers as well as competitors and well known such as; groSolar, Sunpower, Sunwize, BP Solar, Evergreen Solar and GE Solar. Chinese companies have made significant inroads in manufacturing and are currently leading the production of solar panels or modules. Many of our competitors have established a stronger market position than ours and have larger resources and recognition than we have. In addition, the solar power market in general competes with other sources of renewable energy and conventional power generation.
We believe that the key competitive factors in the market for solar products include:
·
power efficiency and performance;
·
price;
·
quality, and warranty coverage and length;
·
aesthetic appearance of solar installations;
·
strength of distribution relationships; and,
·
knowledgeable sales and installation personnel.
Employees; Identification of Certain Significant Employees
As of March 22, 2010, we had no employees. We also frequently use third party consultants to assist in the completion of various projects. Third parties are instrumental to keep the development of projects on time and on budget.

You can also access these reports and other filings electronically on the SECs web site, www.sec.gov.
Government Regulation
The market for electricity generation products is heavily influenced by foreign, U.S. federal, state and local government regulations and policies concerning the electric utility industry, as well as policies promulgated by electric utilities. These regulations and policies often relate to electricity pricing and technical interconnection of customer-owned electricity generation. In the U.S. and in a number of other countries, these regulations and policies are being modified and may continue to be modified. These fees could increase the cost to our future customers using our solar power products and make them less desirable, thereby harming our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition. We anticipate that our solar power products and their installation will be subject to oversight and regulation in accordance with national and local ordinances relating to building codes, safety, environmental protection, utility interconnection and metering and related matters. Any new government regulations or utility policies pertaining to our solar power products may result in significant additional expenses to us and our resellers and their customers and, as a result, could cause a significant reduction in demand for our solar power products.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto included herein. In connection with, and because we desire to take advantage of, the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we caution readers regarding certain forward looking statements in the following discussion and elsewhere in this report and in any other statement made by, or on our behalf, whether or not in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward looking statements made by, or our behalf. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements.
Balance Sheet
As of December 31, 2009, the Company had total assets of $2,448 compared with total assets of $4,073 as of December 31, 2008. The assets are comprised of cash balances in the Companys bank account.
The Company had total liabilities of $27,097 as of December 31, 2009 compared with $9,390 as of December 31, 2008. The increase in total liabilities is attributed to the fact that the Company owed $6,750 in accounting and audit fees, $15,000 in legal fees, and $322 in transfer agent and filing fees whereas in 2008, the Company only had $200 in transfer agent and filing fees.
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company authorized a four-to-one forward stock split which increased the number of issued and outstanding common shares from 9,250,000 common shares to 37,000,000 common shares at the date of authorization. Subsequent to the forward-stock split, the Company issued 100,000 common shares for proceeds of $20,000 and 250,000 common shares to the President and Director of the Company as a management bonus.
Operating Revenues
We have not generated any revenues since inception.
Operating Expenses
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company incurred operating expenses totaling $106,746 compared with $30,065 for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase in operating expenses is attributed to an increase of $60,057 in management fees due to the fair value of the common shares issued to the new President and Director ($50,000) and increases in monthly management fees starting in October 2009, and increase in professional fees of $16,825 related to costs incurred as part of the change in management and the issuance of common shares and forward stock-split that occurred during the year.
Net Loss
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company incurred a net loss of $106,746 compared with a net loss of $30,065 for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase in net loss was attributed to the fact that the Company issued a one-time management fee of $50,000 and had increases in professional fees relating to the change in management and the forward stock split.
9
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2009, the Company had a cash balance of $2,448 and a working capital deficit of $24,649 compared with a cash balance of $4,073 and a working capital deficit of $5,317 at December 31, 2008. The increase in working capital deficit is due to the fact that the Company incurred over $56,000 of operating costs involving cash compared with only $20,000 in financing from equity issuances and $5,025 in debt financing.
Cashflow from Operating Activities
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company used $34,874 of cash flow for operating activities compared with $30,975 for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase in the use of cash flows for operating activities is attributed to an increase in operating expenses during the year, of which a portion was covered by financing activities.
Cashflow from Investing Activity
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company incurred no transactions relating to investing activities.
Cashflow from Financing Activities
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company was provided $33,249 of cash flow from financing sources compared with proceeds of $7,100 from financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase in the proceeds from financing activities were mainly attributed to the receipt of $20,000 from issuance of equity financing and $5,025 in debt financing in fiscal 2009.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no material transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations), or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future impact on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources, or significant components of revenues or expenses.
Cash Requirements
Our cash on hand as of December 31, 2009 is $2,448. We do not have sufficient cash on hand to pay the costs of our operations as projected to twelve (12) months or less or to fund our operations for that same period of time. We will require additional financing in order to proceed with some or all of our goals as projected over the next twelve (12) months. We presently do not have any arrangements for additional financing, and no potential lines of credit or sources of financing are currently available for the purpose of proceeding with any of our goals projected over the next twelve (12) months and beyond.
Any additional growth of the Company will require additional cash infusions. We may face expenses or other circumstances such that we will have additional financing requirements. In such event, the amount of additional capital we may need to raise will depend on a number of factors. These factors primarily include the extent to which we can achieve revenue growth, the profitability of such revenues, operating expenses, research and development expenses, and capital expenditures. Given the number of programs that we have ongoing and not complete, it is not possible to predict the extent or cost of these additional financing requirements.
Notwithstanding the numerous factors that our cash requirements depend on, and the uncertainties associated with each of the major revenue opportunities that we have, we believe that our plan of operation can build long-term value if we are able to demonstrate clear progress toward our objectives.
Progress in the development of our business plan will likely lend credibility to our plan to achieve profitability.
The Company does not anticipate any contingency upon which it would voluntarily cease filing reports with the SEC. It is in the compelling interest of this Registrant to report its affairs quarterly, annually and currently, as the case may be, generally to provide accessible public information to interested parties, and also specifically to maintain its eligibility for the OTCBB.
The failure to secure any necessary outside funding could have an adverse affect on our development and results therefrom and a corresponding negative impact on shareholder liquidity.
10
Going Concern
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive activities. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements that they have substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern without further financing.
Future Financings
We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund planned acquisitions and exploration activities.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Pacific Blue Energy Corp.
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Pacific Blue Energy Corp. (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. 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 standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit 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 Pacific Blue Energy Corp. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods described above 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 1 to the financial statement, the Company suffered a net loss from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
(expressed in U.S. dollars)
1.
Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business
Pacific Blue Energy Corp. (formerly Descanso Agency Inc.) (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 3, 2007. The Company is a development stage company that intends to open travel agencies specializing in Mexican tourism. Its activities to date have been limited to capital formation, organization and development of its business plan and limited operations.
Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has generated no revenues to date and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had a working capital deficit of $24,649 and an accumulated deficit of $149,063. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability to raise equity or debt financing, and the attainment of profitable operations from the Company's future business. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a)
Basis of Presentation
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. The Companys fiscal year-end is December 31.
b)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and 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. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to stock-based compensation and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Companys estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
c)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had no cash equivalents.
d)
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive.

(formerly Descanso Agency, Inc.)
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
(expressed in U.S. dollars)
e)
Income Taxes
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted ASC 740, Income Taxes, as of its inception. Pursuant to ASC 740, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.
f)
Comprehensive Loss
ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company has no items that represent comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.
g)
Financial Instruments
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and ASC 825, Financial Instruments, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. It establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instruments categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. It prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Companys financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable, and amounts due to related parties. Pursuant to ASC 820 and ASC 825, the fair value of our cash is determined based on Level 1 inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. We believe that the recorded values of all of our other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
h)
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2009, FASB issued ASC 855, Subsequent Events, which establishes general standards of for the evaluation, recognition and disclosure of events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date. Although there is new terminology, the standard is based on the same principles as those that currently exist in the auditing standards. The standard, which includes a new required disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events, is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 855 did not have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.

h)
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles as the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP, aside from those issued by the SEC. ASC 105 does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. The adoption of ASC 105 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements, but did eliminate all references to pre-codification standards.
In August 2009, FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to the measurement of liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. This standard clarifies how a company should measure the fair value of liabilities and that restrictions preventing the transfer of a liability should not be considered as a factor in the measurement of liabilities within the scope of this standard. This standard is effective for the Company on October 1, 2009. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In October 2009, FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to the accounting for revenue in arrangements with multiple deliverables including how the arrangement consideration is allocated among delivered and undelivered items of the arrangement. Among the amendments, this standard eliminated the use of the residual method for allocating arrangement considerations and requires an entity to allocate the overall consideration to each deliverable based on an estimated selling price of each individual deliverable in the arrangement in the absence of having vendor-specific objective evidence or other third party evidence of fair value of the undelivered items. This standard also provides further guidance on how to determine a separate unit of accounting in a multiple-deliverable revenue arrangement and expands the disclosure requirements about the judgments made in applying the estimated selling price method and how those judgments affect the timing or amount of revenue recognition. This standard, for which the Company is currently assessing the impact, will become effective on January 1, 2011.
In October 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting standards related to certain revenue arrangements that include software elements. This standard clarifies the existing accounting guidance such that tangible products that contain both software and non-software components that function together to deliver the products essential functionality, shall be excluded from the scope of the software revenue recognition accounting standards. Accordingly, sales of these products may fall within the scope of other revenue recognition standards or may now be within the scope of this standard and may require an allocation of the arrangement consideration for each element of the arrangement. This standard, for which the Company is currently assessing the impact, will become effective on January 1, 2011.
In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC 505, Equity, where entities that declare dividends to shareholders that may be paid in cash or shares at the election of the shareholders are considered to be a share issuance that is reflected prospectively in EPS, and is not accounted for as a stock dividend. This standard is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009 and is to be applied on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, to require reporting entities to separately disclose the amounts and business rationale for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and separately present information regarding purchase, sale, issuance, and settlement of Level 3 fair value measures on a gross basis. This standard, for which the Company is currently assessing the impact, is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 with the exception of disclosures regarding the purchase, sale, issuance, and settlement of Level 3 fair value measures which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on an evaluation as of the date of the end of the period covered by report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SECs rules and forms.

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Managements Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed 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.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 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.
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO").
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Companys annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, the Company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below:
| 1. | We do not have an Audit Committee or a financial expert on our Board of Directors While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee; it is the managements view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is an utmost important entity level control over the Companys financial statement. Currently the Board of Directors acts in the capacity of the Audit Committee, consisting of three members, including two independent members. All members of the Board of Directors lack sufficient financial expertise for overseeing financial reporting responsibilities. |
|
| |
| 2. | We did not maintain appropriate cash controls As of December 31, 2009, the Company has not maintained sufficient internal controls over financial reporting for the cash process, including failure to perform monthly bank reconciliations. Alternatively, the effects of poor cash controls were mitigated by the fact that the Company had limited transactions in their bank accounts during the year ended December 31, 2009 and that the Companys quarterly and year-end financial statements and audit working papers and supporting documents were prepared and reviewed by an independent accounting firm prior to submission to our external auditors, which mitigated the risk of misappropriation of cash. |
Accordingly, the Company concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the companys internal controls.
12
As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by COSO.
M&K CPAs, an independent registered public accounting firm, was not required to and has not issued a report concerning the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009.
Continuing Remediation Efforts to address deficiencies in Companys Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Once the Company is engaged in a business of merit and has sufficient personnel available, then our Board of Directors, in particular and in connection with the aforementioned deficiencies, will establish the following remediation measures:
| 1. | Our Board of Directors will nominate an audit committee or a financial expert on our Board of Directors in fiscal 2010. |
|
| |
| 2. | We will appoint additional personnel to assist with the preparation of the Companys monthly financial reporting, including preparation of the monthly bank reconciliations. |
Changes In Internal Control and Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
