PART I

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements made in this annual report on Form 10-K are “forward-looking statements” (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) regarding the plans and objectives of management for future operations. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements of RTG VENTURES, INC. (“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Registrant” or the “Company”) to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Our plans and objectives are based, in part, on assumptions involving the continued expansion of business. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that our assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance the forward-looking statements included in this annual report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved.
 
Item 1. Description of Business
 
General

We were organized under the laws of the State of Florida on September 29, 1998 to engage in the business of importing crawfish farmed and harvested in Indonesia for sale in the United States. We conducted no material operations in that line of business.

Effective May 21, 2003, we entered into an Agreement for the Exchange of Common Stock with MJWC, Inc., a British Virgin Islands corporation formed on July 17, 2000. Pursuant to such Agreement, MJWC, Inc. became our wholly-owned subsidiary and we issued an aggregate of 22,750,000 shares of our common stock to the shareholders of MJWC, Inc. The transaction was treated as a reverse acquisition in which MJWC, Inc. was treated as the acquirer for accounting purposes. MJWC, Inc. holds certain rights obtained from the Sports Ministry of The People's Republic of China (the "PRC"), including the right to arrange, organize and promote the Chinese Poker Championship and Mah-jong Championship in the PRC. We did not, conduct any operations based upon, or otherwise exploit, any of such rights. The rights  expired on December 31, 2008.

In May 2003 we entered into an Asset Transfer Agreement with Brain Games Asia, Inc., a British Virgin Islands corporation, pursuant to which we acquired certain intangible assets of Brain Games Asia, Inc. in exchange for 3,725,000 shares of our common stock. The assets acquired consisted primarily of rights obtained from the Sports Ministry of the PRC to arrange, organize and promote the Chinese Chess (Xianqui) Championship. These rights expired on December 31, 2005.

Effective August 27, 2003, we changed our fiscal year end from May 31 to August 31.

On November 18, 2004, we increased our number of authorized shares of common stock from 50,000,000 to 100,000,000.

As of July 2005, we discontinued pursuing the aforementioned lines of business and chose instead to focus on identifying a privately-owned company with revenues, a solid business plan and the need for a public entity to raise capital with which to merge or effect a share exchange. The Company, as described below, was identified in 2006.

On August 12, 2005 we amended our Articles of Incorporation to increase our authorized capital from 100,000,000 shares of common stock to 200,000,000 shares of common stock and 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

The Company is in a start up mode with a Business Plan in place. In 2006, the Company identified a business in digital and broadband internet media and online global payment systems in the UK which lent itself to both organic growth and growth by acquisition. From that time, we have been evolving the Business Plan to maximize the opportunities and minimize the risks inherent in a challenging economic environment. All of these efforts were conducted under the contractual requirements of a Share Exchange Agreement. On March 20, 2007, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Agreement") with Atlantic Network Holdings Limited, New Media Television (Europe) Limited ("NMTV"), and Certain Outside Stockholders Listed on Exhibit A thereto to acquire all of the outstanding shares of NMTV. Atlantic Network Holdings Limited is a Guernsey company limited by shares and NMTV is a United Kingdom private company limited by shares. NMTV will hold a 75% aggregate ownership share of the resultant company in preferred shares and RTGV will retain 25% of NMTV and all of the outstanding common shares for one year. The transaction is subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, including the filing by the Company of all reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act and the satisfactory completion of the audit of NMTV's financial statements for each of its past three fiscal years. No assurance can be given that the transaction will be completed, however, the Company intends to continue the implementation of the Business Plan without the share exchange.

In August, 2009, RTGV signed a Letter of Intent with International Financial Systems Ltd. (IFS) a private company, to include iPayu, another dimension in the payment systems division of our Business Plan as described on our website. www.rtgventures.com. The LOI provides an exclusive option to purchase the intellectual property rights for iPayu and the right to operate its business.

Item 1A. Risk Factors In addition to other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the following important factors should be carefully considered in evaluating the Company and its business because such factors currently have a significant impact on the Company's business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
 
Risks Associated with Our Business and the Share Exchange Agreement (“Agreement”) with Atlantic Network Holdings Limited (“ANHL”), New Media Television (Europe) Limited (“NMTV”) et al.

There is uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009, which are included in Item 8 of this annual report on Form 10-K, as well as the accompanying report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements, call into question our ability to operate as a going concern. This conclusion is based on our net losses and cash used in operations. Those factors, as well as uncertainty in securing financing for continued operations, create an uncertainty regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Although we expect that we will be able to meet our expenses going forward based on loans and/or equity investments from shareholders or other investors, our ability to continue as a going concern will be dependent on our ability to obtain such financing on acceptable terms, for which there is no existing commitment and for which there can be no assurance.
 
Our business will have no revenues unless and until we close the Agreement to acquire NMTV.

Since July 17, 2000 (inception), and as of August 31, 2009, we had incurred a net loss of $6,126,356. Because we do not anticipate having any revenues until such time as we consummate the Agreement, we are likely to incur a net operating loss that will increase continuously until we are able to close the transaction. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to close the Agreement or, alternatively, to identify a suitable enterprise in this regard and consummate a business combination, either eventually or at all.

It should not be assumed that the Share Exchange Agreement will be consummated.

Among other conditions, consummation of the “Agreement” is subject to the preparation and filing, and the causing to be declared effective by the SEC, covering the issuance by us of the Preferred Shares to shareholders (“Exchanging Shareholders”) mentioned in the Agreement,. Further, in accordance with its terms, the Agreement may only be terminated by Exchanging Shareholders if we breach any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on our part contained in the Agreement. There can be no assurance that all of the conditions to closing will be satisfied or that events will occur that will give rise to a justified termination of the Merger Agreement on the part of NMTV prior to closing. In the event that some or all of the conditions to closing are not satisfied, or that events occur that give rise to a justified termination of the Agreement on the part of the Company prior to closing, the Agreement may not be consummated.

6

 
If the Agreement is consummated, we will require substantial additional funding, and our failure to raise additional capital necessary to support and expand our operations could reduce our ability to compete and could harm our business.

If the agreement is consummated, one of the Conditions of Closing is working capital of a minimum of $685,000 which will be utilized to cover the infrastructure costs of a public company regulatory and investor awareness programs during the first year following the Share Exchange with ANHL. Thereafter, we will likely need to raise substantial additional capital in fiscal years 2010 and beyond through equity and debt financing for continued technology research, development and commercialization, for any specific projects that we determine to develop, to support possible additional expansion of our existing operations, and for our general and administrative expenses from operations. We may also need to raise funds in order to respond to competitive pressures or acquire complementary energy related products, services, businesses and/or technologies. We cannot assure you that any such financing will be available to us in the future on acceptable terms or at all. If the Agreement is consummated, and if we cannot raise required funds on acceptable terms, we may not be able to, among
 
 
·
Pursue new development projects
 
·
Maintain our general and administrative expenses at required levels, including the hiring and training of personnel;
 
·
Develop and expand our operations and business infrastructure; or
 
·
Respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated capital requirements.
 
However, the funding for the intended venture has been private, and we would expect that to be the first approach followed in the short and medium term going forward.

If the Agreement is consummated, our business model and strategies may have to change from time to time in the pursuit of profitability.

If the Agreement is consummated, certain division of the Company will remain in a start-up mode. Despite the fact that our proposed business strategies in such event will incorporate our senior management’s then-current best analysis of potential markets, opportunities and difficulties that face us, no assurance can be given that the underlying assumptions upon which they base their decisions will accurately reflect current trends in our industry or our prospective customers’ reaction to our products and services or that such products or services will be embraced, or even accepted, by the market. Our business model and strategies may and likely will change substantially from time to time as our senior management reassesses its opportunities from time to time and reallocates its resources, and any such model and/or strategies may be changed or abandoned at any point in the process. If the Agreement is consummated and we are unable to develop or implement any such model or strategies through our projects and our technology, we may never achieve profitability. And even if we do achieve profitability, we can predict neither its sustainability nor its level.

Our stockholders will have a minority voting interest in the Company following the conditions of closing being met.

Upon closing the Agreement our stockholders would own than 25% of the voting shares of the Company. The aggregate stockholders of the acquired company would therefore be able to control the election of our board of directors and effectively control our Company. Since NMTV Inc. will consist of several companies each with shareholder voting rights. No one group will have control.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

In November 2008, we issued an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of common stock to our directors and executive officers upon the exercise of options previously granted to such individuals (September 2007 and September 2008). The Company received a total of $127,500 as consideration for such exercise. We relied upon the exemption form registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), for such issuance.
 
In April, 2009 1,200,000 shares of common stock were provided to a consultant in advance of the provision of consideration, as a show of good faith, under a contract for those anticipated services. In June, 2009, the contract was extended and an additional 1,200,000 shares of common stock provided under the same provisions. The Company has sent a Demand Letter to the consultant for the return of all shares issued because of non-performance on the part of said consultant. The contract is governed by Arbitration, and if the shares are not returned voluntarily, the Company will file for an arbitration action. As of November, 2009, the shares remain restricted.

In September 2009, we issued an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of common stock to our directors and executive officers upon the exercise of options granted to such individuals (September 2009). The Company received a total of $125,000 as consideration for such exercise.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data
 
As a “smaller reporting company”, as defined by Rule 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide this information.
 
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Plan of Operation
 
The following Plan of Operation should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Report.

The Company is in a start up mode with a Business Plan in place. In 2006, the Company identified a business in digital and broadband internet media and online global payment systems in the UK which lent itself to both organic growth and growth by acquisition. From that time, we have been evolving the Business Plan to maximize the opportunities and minimize the risks inherent in a challenging economic environment. All of these efforts were conducted under the contractual requirements of a Share Exchange Agreement. On March 20, 2007, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Agreement") with Atlantic Network Holdings Limited, New Media Television (Europe) Limited ("NMTV"), and Certain Outside Stockholders Listed on Exhibit A thereto to acquire all of the outstanding shares of NMTV. Atlantic Network Holdings Limited is a Guernsey company limited by shares and NMTV is a United Kingdom private company limited by shares. NMTV will hold a 75% aggregate ownership share of the resultant company in preferred shares and RTGV will retain 25% of NMTV and all of the outstanding common shares for one year. The transaction is subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, including the filing by the Company of all reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act and the satisfactory completion of the audit of NMTV's financial statements for each of its past three fiscal years. No assurance can be given that the transaction will be completed, however, the Company intends to continue the implementation of the Business Plan without the share exchange.

In August, 2009, RTGV signed a Letter of Intent with International Financial Systems Ltd. (IFS) a private company, to include iPayu, another dimension in the payment systems division of our Business Plan as described on our website. www.rtgventures.com. The LOI provides an exclusive option to purchase the intellectual property rights for iPayu and the right to operate its business.

We have financed our activities to date from sales of debentures and loans from shareholders, officers and third parties. As at August 31, 2009 we had an accumulated deficit of $6,144,356. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm, Sherb & Co., LLP, on our audited financial statements contains a qualification regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are not currently a party to, or otherwise involved with, any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 260-10-45-61A, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (“ASC 260-10-45-61A”). This standard clarified that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders. Awards of this nature are considered participating securities and the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share must be applied. The adoption of ASC 260-10-45-61A did not have any impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the updated provisions of ASC 810, which established requirements for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the Company, noncontrolling interest (previously referred to as “minority interest”) to be clearly identified, presented, and disclosed in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity but separate from the parent’s equity. All changes in the parent’s ownership interests are required to be accounted for consistently as equity transactions, and any noncontrolling equity investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries must be measured initially at fair value. The adoption of the updated provisions of ASC 810 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance in the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Codification on determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly.  The guidance emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same.  Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants.  The guidance provides a number of factors to consider when evaluating whether there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability in relation to normal market activity.  In addition, when transactions or quoted prices are not considered orderly, adjustments to those prices based on the weight of available information may be needed to determine the appropriate fair value.  The guidance is effective for interim or annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively.  There is no impact of the adoption on our financial statements.

In April 2009, FASB issued guidance in the Financial Instruments Topic of the Codification on interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments.  The guidance requires disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments for both interim reporting periods, as well as annual reporting periods.  The guidance is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 and shall be applied prospectively.  The adoption of this guidance had no impact on our financial statements as of August 31, 2009, other than the additional disclosure.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 165, “Subsequent Events,” which was later superseded by the FASB Codification and included in topic 855. This update to the Codification established general standards of accounting for disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, this Statement sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. This update to the Codification did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In July 2009, the FASB issued ASC topic 105 (formerly Statement of Financial Standard (SFAS) 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”). ASC 105 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. This pronouncement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.

Significant Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, the amount of unbilled vendors payable for services performed during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
 
Critical Accounting Policies

The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the liability method of accounting.  Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on differences between financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates in effect in years in which differences are expected to reverse.  Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that are expected to be realized.

For federal income tax purposes, substantially all expenses must be deferred until the Company commences business and then they may be written off over a 60-month period. These expenses will not be deducted for tax purposes and will represent a deferred tax asset. The Company will provide a valuation allowance in the full amount of the deferred tax asset since there is no assurance of future taxable income. Tax deductible losses can be carried forward under current applicable law for 20 years until utilized.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of RTG Ventures, Inc. (a development stage company) as of August 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended August 31, 2009 and 2008, and the period from July 17, 2000 (inception) to August 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that RTG Ventures, Inc.  (a development stage company), will continue as going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred an accumulated deficit for the period from July 17, 2000 (inception) through August 31, 2009 of approximately $6,126,000. The Company incurred a net loss for the year ended August 31, 2009 of approximately $514,000 and has negative working capital at August 31, 2009 of approximately $1,069,000. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

RTG VENTURES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS

RTG Ventures, Inc. ("RTG" or the "Company") was incorporated in the state of Florida in September 1998 and was inactive until May 2003 when it acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of MJWC, Inc. ("MJWC"), a British Virgin Island corporation, which is in the development stage.

MJWC was formed on July 17, 2000 and holds the contractual rights to promote and organize the Chinese Poker Championship, the Mah Jong Championship, and Chinese Chess Championship. On May 21, 2003 MJWC was acquired by RTG for 22,750,000 shares of RTG stock (the "Exchange"). The Exchange was completed pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization between MJWC and RTG. The Exchange has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method for business combinations. Accordingly, the combination of the two companies was recorded as a recapitalization of MJWC, pursuant to which MJWC is treated as the continuing entity.

Effective August 27, 2003 the Company changed their fiscal year end from May 31 to August 31.

On May 22, 2003, the Company increased the number of authorized shares of common stock from 20,000,000 to 50,000,000.

On November 18, 2004, the Company increased the number of authorized shares of common stock from 50,000,000 to 100,000,000.

On August 12, 2005, the Company increased the number of authorized shares of no par value common stock from 100,000,000 to 200,000,000 and authorized capital of 2,000,000 no par value preferred shares. The Company amended both common and preferred stocks to reflect a par value of $.001 per share.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary MJWC, Inc. All significant inter-company transactions are eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the liability method of accounting.  Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on differences between financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates in effect in years in which differences are expected to reverse.  Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that are expected to be realized.

RTG VENTURES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Computation of Net Loss Per Share

The Company utilizes the guidance per FASB Codification “ASC 260 "Earnings Per Share". Basic earnings per share is calculated on the weighted effect of all common shares issued and outstanding, and is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income for the period by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents during the period. Common stock equivalents arise from the issuance of stock options and warrants. Dilutive earnings per share is not shown as the effect is anti-dilutive. There were no common stock equivalents at August 31, 2009 for fiscal year ended August 31, 2009 and 2,500,000 stock options were outstanding.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments consist of accounts payable, accrued expenses and loans payable. The Company considers the carrying amounts of these financial instruments to approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these liabilities.

Stock Based Compensation

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued FASB ASC 718-10-55 - Compensation-Stock Compensation. Under ASC 718-10-55, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. In March 2005 the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, issued FASB ASC 825-10-50-10 - Financial Instruments - Overall - Disclosures. ASC 825-10-50-10 expresses views of the staff regarding the interaction between ASC 718-10-55 and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides the staff's views regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies. ASC 718-10-55 permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods. Companies may elect to apply this statement either prospectively, or on a modified version of retrospective application under which financial statements for prior periods are adjusted on a basis consistent with the pro forma disclosures required for those periods under ASC 718-10-55. Effective with its fiscal 2006, the Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 718-10-55 and related interpretations as provided by SAB 107 prospectively.

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 260-10-45-61A, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (“ASC 260-10-45-61A”). This standard clarified that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders. Awards of this nature are considered participating securities and the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share must be applied. The adoption of ASC 260-10-45-61A did not have any impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the updated provisions of ASC 810, which established requirements for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the Company, noncontrolling interest (previously referred to as “minority interest”) to be clearly identified, presented, and disclosed in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity but separate from the parent’s equity. All changes in the parent’s ownership interests are required to be accounted for consistently as equity transactions, and any noncontrolling equity investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries must be measured initially at fair value. The adoption of the updated provisions of ASC 810 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance in the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the Codification on determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly.  The guidance emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same.  Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants.  The guidance provides a number of factors to consider when evaluating whether there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability in relation to normal market activity.  In addition, when transactions or quoted prices are not considered orderly, adjustments to those prices based on the weight of available information may be needed to determine the appropriate fair value.  The guidance is effective for interim or annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively.  There is no impact of the adoption on our financial statements.

In April 2009, FASB issued guidance in the Financial Instruments Topic of the Codification on interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments.  The guidance requires disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments for both interim reporting periods, as well as annual reporting periods.  The guidance is effective for all interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009 and shall be applied prospectively.  The adoption of this guidance had no impact on our financial statements as of August 31, 2009, other than the additional disclosure.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 165, “Subsequent Events,” which was later superseded by the FASB Codification and included in topic 855. This update to the Codification established general standards of accounting for disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, this Statement sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. This update to the Codification did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In July 2009, the FASB issued ASC topic 105 (formerly Statement of Financial Standard (SFAS) 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”). ASC 105 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. This pronouncement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realizations of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred an accumulated deficit for the period from July 17, 2000 (inception) through August 31, 2009 of $6,126,356 and had negative working capital at August 31, 2008 of $1,068,587. The Company incurred a net loss for the year ended August 31, 2009 of $514,910. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plans to obtain such resources for the Company include (1) obtaining capital from management and significant stockholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses, and (2) completing a merger with an existing operating company.

NOTE 4 - NOTES PAYABLE

In July 2008, the Company issued a note for $25,000. The note was due on September 30, 2008  and has been paid in full as of year ended August 31, 2009.

NOTE 5 - ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED EXPENSES

NOTE 6 - LOANS PAYABLE

At August 31, 2007 certain merger participants advanced $129,940 to the Company in anticipation of the completion of the pending transaction. The capital infusion was intended to facilitate the merger and was stated as non-refundable in the Amendment to the Share Exchange Agreement filed on December 21, 2007. This has been accounted for as an adjustment to additional paid in capital by the Company. No shares of the Company's common stock were exchanged as consideration for this transaction.

During the fiscal year ended August 31 2009, certain shareholders advanced $135,000 to the Company in anticipation of the completion of the pending transaction. The capital infusion was intended to facilitate the merger. The advances bear no interest.

NOTE 7 - COMMON STOCK

In November 2008, Linda Perry an officer of the Company, exercised 3,000,000 stock options at an average exercise price of $.0255 per share or $76,500 in the aggregate and Lancer Corporation a related party exercised 2,000,000 stock options at an average exercise price of $.0255 or $51,000 in the aggregate. These amounts were offset against unpaid officer compensation. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009 there were no other exercises of stock options by the named executives.

NOTE 8 - STOCK OPTIONS

 On September 1, 2008 the Company granted 2,500,000 stock options with a fair value of $50,000. The Black - Scholes option valuation model was used to estimate the fair value of the options granted. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and that are fully transferable. For example, the expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period equal to the weighted average life of the options granted. Options issued under the Company's option plans have characteristics that differ from traded options. This valuation model does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. Principal assumptions used in applying the Black-Scholes model for options granted along with the result from the model were as follows:

 
September 1, 2009
September 1, 2008
Exercise price
$ 0.034
$ 0.017
Market price
$ 0.034

Zero and 2,500,000 options to management and directors were outstanding as of August 31, 2009 and 2008 respectively, which were exercised in November 2008.

NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS109"). This standard requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax losses and tax credit carry-forwards. SFAS 109 additionally requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.


ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of August 31, 2009, our management, consisting of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of August 31, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that material information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such material information is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
During the period covered by this report, there have not been any significant changes in our internal controls or, to our knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect our internal controls.

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 Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and the Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2009. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework - Guidance for Smaller Public Companies (the COSO criteria). Based on our assessment we believe that, as of August 31, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

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

The audit committee would review the scope, timing and fees for the annual audit and the results of audit examinations performed by the internal auditors and independent public accountants, including their recommendations to improve the system of accounting and internal controls. The Audit Committee would at all times be composed exclusively of directors who are, in the opinion of our Board of Directors, free from any relationship which would interfere with the exercise of independent  judgment as a committee member and who possess an understanding of financial statements and generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Compensation Committee

(1) Audit fees represent fees for professional services provided in connection with the audit of our annual financial statements and review of our quarterly financial statements and audit services provided in connection with other statutory or regulatory filings.
 
Audit Committee's Pre-Approval Practice.
 
Insomuch as we do not have an audit committee, our board of directors performs the functions of an audit committee. Section 10A(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 prohibits our auditors from performing audit services for us as well as any services not considered to be "audit  services" unless such services are pre-approved by the board of directors (in lieu of the  audit committee) or unless the services meet certain de minimis standards.
