PART I

This annual report contains forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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", "should", "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "predicts", "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled "Risk 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 statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US GAAP”). In this annual report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars. All references to "common shares" refer to the common shares in our capital stock.

As used in this annual report, the terms "we", "us", "our", and "Altus" mean Altus Explorations Inc., unless otherwise indicated.

Our Current Business

We are an independent resource company primarily engaged in the exploration and development of oil and gas opportunities located in the domestic United States. The company currently holds no interests in any oil and gas properties.

We continue to seek out oil and gas opportunities that may be economic and within our ability to raise financing necessary for us to progress an opportunity. Our ability to progress the exploration and development of oil and natural gas opportunities in the past, and in the future is heavily dependent on our ability to secure financing sufficient to allow us to fund our initiatives, to meet operating and working capital requirements, and to act on future opportunities as they arise.

United States Natural Gas and Oil Industry

The natural gas and oil industry in the United States is highly competitive, experiences significant commodity price volatility and is subject to substantial local, state and federal regulations concerning matters such as permitting, drilling and environmental requirements. We are primarily targeting the exploration, exploitation, development and production of natural gas reserves to meet the U.S. consumers' robust appetite for energy.

United States Natural Gas and Oil Industry (cont’d…)

Several natural gas forecasts project continuing declining levels of domestic natural gas production and reserves in the lower 48 states while demand for natural gas is forecast to continue to grow. The growth in demand is heavily driven by increasing levels of power generation necessary to meet electric demand in the United States and to accomplish the conversion of existing power generation facilities to a cleaner burning fuel source, such as natural gas. World crude oil prices remain high which puts upward pressure on crude oil prices in the United States and facilitates capital investments to explore and develop crude oil reserves on-shore and off-shore the U.S.

The U.S. oil industry is heavily dominated by major integrated oil and gas companies and numerous independent oil companies. Many of these companies possess and employ financial and human resources substantially greater than ours. Prices for oil production and production levels are subject to wide fluctuations and depend on numerous factors beyond a companies control including economic conditions, foreign imports and political condition in the U.S. and in oil producing rich countries, actions of OPEC, and governmental and legislative regulation and policies.

Competition

The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive. In pursuing oil and gas opportunities, we will be competing with numerous individuals and companies, including many major oil and gas companies, which have substantially greater technical, financial and operational resources and staffs. Accordingly, there is a high degree of competition for desirable oil and gas leases, suitable properties for drilling operations and necessary drilling equipment, as well as for access to funds. We cannot predict if the necessary funds can be raised or that any projected work will be completed. Any acreage we may acquire in our pursuit of oil and gas opportunities may not become available or if it is available for leasing, we may not be successful in acquiring the leases. There may be other competitors that have operations in areas of interest to us and the presence of these competitors could adversely affect our ability to acquire leases.

Market Prices of Oil and Natural Gas

The market prices of oil and natural gas have historically fluctuated widely and are affected by numerous global factors beyond our control. A decline in such market prices may have an adverse effect on revenues we receive from the sale of oil and gas. A decline in prices will also reduce our exploration efforts and make it more difficult to raise capital. Decreases in natural gas and oil prices could have an adverse effect on the carrying value of our oil and gas investments, and our ability to be profitable, and to achieve positive cash flows.

Government Regulations and Supervision

Our oil and gas operations are subject to various United States federal, state and local governmental regulations. Matters subject to regulation include discharge permits for drilling operations, drilling and abandonment bonds, reports concerning operations, the spacing of wells, and pooling of properties and taxation. From time to time, regulatory agencies have imposed price controls and limitations on production by restricting the rate of flow of oil and gas wells below actual production capacity in order to conserve supplies of oil and gas. The production, handling, storage, transportation and disposal of oil and gas, by-products thereof, and other substances and materials produced or used in connection with oil and gas operations are also subject to regulation under federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations relating primarily to the protection of human health and the environment. To date, expenditures related to complying with these laws, and for remediation of existing environmental contamination, have not been significant in relation to the results of operations of our company. The requirements imposed by such laws and regulations are frequently changed and subject to interpretation, and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance with these requirements or their effect on our operations.

Product Research and Development

Our business plan is focused on the long-term exploration and development of oil and gas interests. We do not anticipate that we will expend any significant funds on product research over the next twelve months.

Employees

Currently, there are no full time or part-time employees of our company (other than our directors and officers who, at present, have not signed employment or consulting agreements with us). We do not expect any material changes in the number of employees over the next 12 month period (although we may enter into employment or consulting agreements with our officers or directors). We do and will continue to outsource contract employment as needed.

However, if we are successful in any anticipated drilling program, we may retain additional employees as it becomes economically warranted to do so.

Purchase or Sale of Equipment

We do not intend to purchase any significant equipment over the twelve months.

RISK FACTORS

Much of the information included in this annual report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements". Such forward-looking statements include any projections or estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions, or other future performance suggested herein. We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.

Such estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements" involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. Again, we caution readers of this annual report that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements". In evaluating us, our business and any investment in our business, readers should carefully consider the following factors.

We have limited operating history and losses that we expect to continue into the future.

We have not yet realized any significant revenues. We have limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Since our inception we have experienced sustained and significant losses. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon the following:

• Our ability to locate a profitable resource property;

• Our ability to secure financing to fund capital investments;

• Our ability to generate revenues; and

• Our ability to reduce exploration costs.

RISK FACTORS (cont’d…)

We have limited operating history and losses that we expect to continue into the future. (cont’d…)

Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods. This will happen because there are expenses associated with exploration of our oil and gas interests. We may not be successful in generating revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues will cause us to go out of business.

We may not have access to all of the supplies and materials we need to begin exploration that could cause us to delay or suspend operations.

Competition and unforeseen limited sources of supplies and equipment in the energy industry could result in occasional spot shortages of supplies or the lack of availability of required equipment, such as drilling rigs.

We have a limited operating history and if we are not successful in continuing to grow our business, then we may have to scale back or even cease our ongoing business operations.

We have no history of substantial revenues from operations, and currently do not hold any proved, producing or revenue generating oil and gas interests. We have yet to generate positive earnings and there can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably. Our company has a limited operating history and our success is significantly dependent on a successful acquisition, drilling, completion and production program. We will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a developing enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating history. We may be unable to locate recoverable reserves or operate on a profitable basis. We are in the development stage and potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by enterprises in the development stage. If our business plan is not successful, and we are not able to operate profitably, investors may lose some or all of their investment in our company.

Because of the early stage of development and the nature of our business, our securities are considered highly speculative.

Our securities must be considered highly speculative, generally because of the nature of our business and the early stage of our development. We are engaged in the business of exploring and, if warranted, developing commercial reserves of oil and gas. Accordingly, we have not generated any revenues nor have we realized a profit from our operations to date and there is little likelihood that we will generate any revenues or realize any profits in the short term. Any profitability in the future from our business will be dependent upon locating and developing economic reserves of oil and gas, which itself is subject to numerous risk factors as set forth herein. Since we have not generated any revenues, we will have to raise additional monies through the sale of our equity securities or debt in order to continue our business operations.

There can be no assurance that we will establish commercial discoveries on properties we may acquire in the future.

Exploration for technically and commercially recoverable reserves of oil and gas is subject to a number of risk factors. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing oil and/or gas wells. Even if reserves located are technically recoverable, they may not be commercially recoverable in the existing market.

RISK FACTORS (cont’d…)

The potential profitability of oil and gas ventures depends upon factors beyond the control of our company

The potential profitability of oil and gas properties is dependent upon many factors beyond our control. For instance, world prices and markets for oil and gas are unpredictable, highly volatile, potentially subject to governmental fixing, pegging, controls, or any combination of these and other factors, and respond to changes in domestic, international, political, social, and economic environments. Additionally, due to worldwide economic uncertainty, the availability and cost of funds for production and other expenses have become increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to project. These changes and events may materially affect our financial performance.

Adverse weather conditions can also hinder drilling operations. A productive well may become uneconomic in the event water or other deleterious substances are encountered which impair or prevent the production of oil and/or gas from the well. In addition, production from any well may be unmarketable if it is impregnated with water or other deleterious substances. The marketability of oil and gas which may be acquired or discovered will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include the proximity and capacity of oil and gas pipelines and processing equipment, market fluctuations of prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production and environmental protection. These factors cannot be accurately predicted and the combination of these factors may result in our company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.

Competition in the oil and gas industry is highly competitive and there is no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring leases in connection with prospective exploration and developmental properties.

The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive. We compete with numerous individuals and companies, including many major oil and gas companies, which have substantially greater technical, financial and operational resources and staffs. Accordingly, there is a high degree of competition for desirable oil and gas leases, suitable properties for drilling operations and necessary drilling equipment, as well as for access to funds. We cannot predict if the necessary funds can be raised or that any projected work will be completed. Our budget anticipates our acquisition of acreage. This acreage may not become available or if it is available for leasing, that we may not be successful in acquiring the leases. There may be other competitors that have operations in areas of interest to us and the presence of these competitors could adversely affect our ability to acquire additional leases.

The marketability of natural resources will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control which may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.

The marketability of natural resources which may be acquired or discovered by us will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include market fluctuations in oil and gas pricing and demand, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, governmental regulations, land tenure, land use, regulation concerning the importing and exporting of oil and gas and environmental protection regulations. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.

RISK FACTORS (cont’d…)

Oil and gas operations are subject to comprehensive regulation which may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated causing an adverse effect on our company.

Oil and gas operations are subject to federal, state, and local laws relating to the protection of the environment, including laws regulating removal of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment. Oil and gas operations are also subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the design and use of drilling methods and equipment. Various permits from government bodies are required for drilling operations to be conducted; no assurance can be given that such permits will be received. Environmental standards imposed by federal, provincial, or local authorities may be changed and any such changes may have material adverse effects on our activities. Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing an adverse effect on us. Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damages which it may elect not to insure against due to prohibitive premium costs and other reasons. To date we have not been required to spend any material amount on compliance with environmental regulations. However, we may be required to do so in future and this may affect our ability to expand or maintain our operations.

Exploration and production activities are subject to certain environmental regulations which may prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of our operations.

In general, our exploration and production activities are subject to certain federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental quality and pollution control. Such laws and regulations increase the costs of these activities and may prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of a given operation. Compliance with these laws and regulations has not had a material effect on our operations or financial condition to date. Specifically, we are subject to legislation regarding emissions into the environment, water discharges and storage and disposition of hazardous wastes. In addition, legislation has been enacted which requires well and facility sites to be abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of state authorities. However, such laws and regulations are frequently changed and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance. Generally, environmental requirements do not appear to affect us any differently or to any greater or lesser extent than other companies in the industry.

Exploratory drilling involves many risks and we may become liable for pollution or other liabilities which may have an adverse effect on our financial position.

Drilling operations generally involve a high degree of risk. Hazards such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, power outages, labor disruptions, blow-outs, sour gas leakage, fire, inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labour, and other risks are involved. We may become subject to liability for pollution or hazards against which it cannot adequately insure or which it may elect not to insure. Incurring any such liability may have a material adverse effect on our financial position and operations.

Any change to government regulation/administrative practices may have a negative impact on our ability to operate and our profitability.

The laws, regulations, policies or current administrative practices of any government body, organization or regulatory agency in the United States or any other jurisdiction, may be changed, applied or interpreted in a manner which will fundamentally alter the ability of our company to carry on our business.

The actions, policies or regulations, or changes thereto, of any government body or regulatory agency, or other special interest groups, may have a detrimental effect on us. Any or all of these situations may have a negative impact on our ability to operate and/or our profitably.

RISK FACTORS (cont’d…)

We do not own any resource properties. We do not hold working and revenue interests in any oil and gas leases

We do not own any resource properties and currently hold no interest in any oil and gas properties.

Because the SEC imposes additional sales practice requirements on brokers who deal in our shares that are penny stocks, some brokers may be unwilling to trade them. This means that you may have difficulty in reselling your shares and may cause the price of the shares to decline.

Our shares qualify as penny stocks and are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our securities in this offering or in the aftermarket. In particular, prior to selling a penny stock, broker/dealers must give the prospective customer a risk disclosure document that: contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; contains a description of the broker/dealers' duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to violations of such duties or other requirements of Federal securities laws; contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask" prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask prices; contains the toll free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions established pursuant to section 15(A)(i); defines significant terms used in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and contains such other information, and is in such form (including language, type size, and format), as the SEC requires by rule or regulation. Further, for sales of our securities, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination and receive from you a written agreement before making a sale to you. Because of the imposition of the foregoing additional sales practices, it is possible that brokers will not want to make a market in our shares. This could prevent you from reselling your shares and may cause the price of the shares to decline.

Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC's Penny Stock Regulations which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.

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

RISK FACTORS (cont’d…)

We do not expect to declare or pay any dividends.

We have not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock since our inception, and we do not anticipate paying any such dividends for the foreseeable future.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

We do not currently have a shareholder rights plan or any anti-takeover provisions in our By-laws. Without any anti-takeover provisions, there is no deterrent for a take-over of our company, which may result in a change in our management and directors.

Our By-laws contain provisions indemnifying our officers and directors against all costs, charges and expenses incurred by them.

Our By-laws contain provisions with respect to the indemnification of our officers and directors against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, actually and reasonably incurred by him, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment in a civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of his being or having been one of our directors or officers.

Our principal offices are located at 11152 Westheimer RD. #854, Houston Texas, 77042. Our telephone number is 713-703-8666. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, we incurred total annual rent of $15,855 and $15,744, respectively.

The company currently holds no interests in any oil and gas properties.

We know of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceedings or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered beneficial shareholder are an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to us.

None.

PART II

On January 13, 2003, our common stock received approval for quotation on the National Association of Securities Dealers Inc.’s Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “ATUX”. As of May 29, 2007, our common shares were no longer quoted on the OTCBB. Afterwards, our common shares are traded on the Pink Sheets under the trading symbol “ALXP”. All prices are reported in U.S. dollars. Such over-the-counter market quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, markdown or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions. The Pink Sheets has a limited and sporadic trading market and does not constitute an established trading market. The high and low sales prices of the common stock as traded on the Pink Sheets for the calendar periods indicated are set out in the table below.

On December 31, 2009, the closing price for the common stock as traded on the Pink Sheets was $0.0115 per share.

As of December 31, 2009, there were 45 holders of record of our common stock. As of such date, 2,328,633 common shares were issued and outstanding.

Our common shares are issued in registered form. The Nevada Agency and Trust Company, 50 Liberty Street, Suite 880, Reno, Nevada 89501 (Telephone: 775.322.0626; Facsimile: 775.322.5623) is the registrar and transfer agent for our common shares. We have no other exchangeable securities.

Dividend Policy

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and have no present intention of paying any dividends on the shares of our common stock. Our current policy is to retain earnings, if any, for use in our operations and in the development of our business. Our future dividend policy will be determined from time to time by our board of directors.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

For the twelve month period ended December 31, 2009, no shares were issued.

Results of Operations

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008

Our net loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 totaled $83,757. This compares with our net loss of $70,492 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008. General and administrative expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $72,273 and $59,112, respectively. The primary components of general and administrative expenses for the first twelve months of 2009 are costs associated with accounting, legal and administrative contract labor and professional fees associated with being a public company. The increase in general and administrative expenses from 2008 to 2009 is mainly due to the increased accounting and legal fees $39,155 (2008- $34,360), rent $17,354 (2008- $15,744), office and administrative $12,416 (2008- $7,213), transfer agent and filing fees $3,348 (2008- $ 1,795).

We incurred interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2009 of $10,650, compared to $10,665 interest expense for the same period in 2008. The interest expense was incurred due to advances made by certain shareholders in the amount of $88,750. The Company entered into Convertible Loan Agreements (the “Loans”) with these shareholders whose Loans matured on December 31, 2007 and required payment of all outstanding principal and interest in full on January 2, 2008. Interest rates are 12% per annum payable in arrears upon the maturity of the Loans. The shareholders agreed to forego interest that accrued during 2006, and provided for interest on the outstanding Loan balances to commence January 1, 2007. The Company accrued interest of $10,650 on the Loans during the year ended December 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2009 and the date of this report, the Company has not repaid the Loans, nor have the shareholders’ provided a Notice of Conversion to the Company. The Company is in negotiations with the shareholders to settle the Loans.

The Company had no revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009.

January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2009

The company currently holds no producing assets and has no revenues.

The net loss for the period from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2009 being the development stage totaled $192,602. Of the net loss 82% or $158,549 is attributed to general and administrative expenses. We incurred $32,012 or 17% of the total net loss due to interest expense on convertible loans made to certain shareholders. Amortization costs for the period were $1,424 or less than 1% of net loss.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Natural gas and oil exploration, drilling and development activities requires substantial capital resources, and we historically have not been able to secure sufficient financing to act on oil and gas investment opportunities as they are identified. If we are unsuccessful in obtaining financing and fail to achieve and sustain a profitable level of operations, we may be unable to fully implement our business plans or continue operations. Future financing through equity, debt or other sources could result in the dilution of Company equity, increase our liabilities, and/or restrict the future availability and use of cash resources. Additionally, there can be no assurance that adequate financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will be unable to execute our business plans, and will be required to scale back the pace and magnitude of our oil and gas prospects drilling and development initiatives. We also may not be able to meet our vendor and service provider obligations as they become due. In such event, we will be forced to cease our operations.

Future Operations

Cash Requirements

During the twelve month period ending December 31, 2010, we project cash requirements of approximately $100,000 as we continue to restructure our activities. Our requirements are comprised of $35,000 for general and administrative costs primarily related to professional fees associated with being a public company; and $65,000 for our screening of potential oil and gas projects and sourcing of financing to fund economically viable projects identified in connection with our screening process.

There are no assurances, however, that we will be able to raise sufficient financing to meet our needs in the future. In the event that we are unable to raise additional financing, and fail to generate significant operating cash flow, we will be required to modify our exploration and development plan accordingly. Should we raise funds through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, it could result in dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. There is still no assurance that we will be able to maintain operations at a level sufficient for an investor to obtain a return on his investment. Further, until we are able to raise additional capital, we expect to continue to be unprofitable.

Over the next twelve months we intend to use all available funds to continue the exploration and development of oil and gas opportunities, and our estimated funding needs for the next twelve months are summarized below:

Estimated Funding Required During the Twelve Month Period Ending December 31, 2010

Product Research and Development

Our business plan is focused on the exploration and development of oil and gas interests.

We do not anticipate that we will expend any significant funds on research and development over the next twelve months ending December 31, 2010.

Purchase of Significant Equipment

We do not intend to purchase any significant equipment over the next twelve months ending December 31, 2010.

Employees

Currently we have no full-time or part-time employees. We utilize short term contractors as necessary. Our directors and officers provide services on a month to month basis pursuant to oral arrangements, but have not signed employment or consulting agreements with us. We do not expect any material changes in the number of employees over the next 12 month period. We may enter formal written service agreements with our directors and officers in the future. We expect to continue to outsource contract employment as needed. Depending on the level of success of our exploration and development initiatives, we may retain full- or part-time employees in the future.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. We incurred a net loss of $83,757 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 and a net loss of $70,492 for the same period in 2008.

The Company’ primary source of operating funds during 2009 has been advances from shareholders. The Company does not currently hold an interest in any oil and gas properties.

There are no assurances that we will be able, over the next twelve months, to either (1) achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; or (2) obtain additional financing through either private placement, public offerings, bank financing or shareholder advances necessary to support Altus' working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from operations and any private placements, public offerings or bank financing are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to Altus. If adequate working capital is not available, Altus may be required to cease its operations.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. There are no definitive agreements or arrangements for future funding.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our consolidated financial statements is critical to an understanding of our balance sheet, the statements of operations and stockholders' equity, and the cash flows statements included elsewhere in this filing.

The financial statements are attached to this report following the signature page.

The financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2009 and from the period from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2009 were audited by DMCL.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Company did not consult with DMCL regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company that was an important factor to be considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter or event that was the subject of disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-B and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-B.

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our principal executive officer who is also our principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, we have maintained effective disclosure controls and procedures in all material respects, including those necessary to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted with the SEC (i) is recorded, processed, and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decision regarding required disclosure.

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

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as required by Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Section 404 A. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company's financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As of December 31, 2009, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that the Company's management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company's board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (3) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (4) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by the Company's Principal Financial Officer in connection with the audit of our financial statements as of December 31, 2008 and communicated the matters to our management.

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2), (3) and (4) above did not have an affect on the Company's financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company's board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures can result in the Company's determination to its financial statements for the future years.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting (cont’d…)

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures (cont’d…)

We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, we plan on creating a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to the Company: (i) appointing one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to the audit committee of the Company resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; and (ii) preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists which will set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.

Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company's Board. In addition, management believes that preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists will remedy the following material weaknesses (i) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (ii) ineffective controls over period end financial close and reporting processes. Further, management believes that the hiring of additional personnel who have the technical expertise and knowledge will result proper segregation of duties and provide more checks and balances within the department. Additional personnel will also provide the cross training needed to support the Company if personnel turn over issues within the department occur. This coupled with the appointment of additional outside directors will greatly decrease any control and procedure issues the company may encounter in the future.

We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

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

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide us with copies of those filings. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, all filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied with.

Code of Ethics

Effective February 27, 2004, the Company's board of directors adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to, among other persons, members of our Board of Directors, our company's officers including our president (being our principal executive officer) and our company's chief financial officer (being our principal financial and accounting officer), contractors, consultants and advisors. As adopted, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

(1) honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

(2) full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by us;

(3) compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

(4) the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; and

(5) accountability for adherence to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires, among other things, that all of the Company's personnel shall be accorded full access to our president and secretary with respect to any matter which may arise relating to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Further, all of our company's personnel are to be accorded full access to our company's board of directors if any such matter involves an alleged breach of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by our Company officers.

In addition, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics emphasizes that all employees, and particularly managers and/or supervisors, have a responsibility for maintaining financial integrity within our company, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, and federal, provincial and state securities laws. Any employee who becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting manipulation or other irregularities, whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to his or her immediate supervisor or to our company's president or secretary. If the incident involves an alleged breach of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by the president or secretary, the incident must be reported to any member of our board of directors. Any failure to report such inappropriate or irregular conduct of others is to be treated as a severe disciplinary matter. It is against our company policy to retaliate against any individual who reports in good faith the violation or potential violation of our company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by another.

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 14.1.

Employment/Consulting Agreements

We have consulting agreements with certain former officers and directors to provide services to company as required at rates to be agreed.

Long-Term Incentive Plans

There are no arrangements or plans in which we provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for directors or executive officers, except that our directors and executive officers may receive stock options at the discretion of our board of directors. We do not have any 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 our board of directors.

We have no plans or arrangements in respect of remuneration received or that may be received by our executive officers to compensate such officers in the event of termination of employment (as a result of resignation, retirement, change of control) or a change of responsibilities following a change of control, where the value of such compensation exceeds $60,000 per executive officer.

Stock Option Plan

On January 28, 2004 we established a stock option plan pursuant to which 274,152 common shares were reserved for issuance.

Stock options become exercisable at dates determined by the Board of Directors at the time of granting the option and have initial terms of ten years.

Stock Options/SAR Grants

During the year ended December 31, 2009, no options were granted to directors or executive officers. During the year ended December 31, 2004 we granted the following stock options to our current and former directors and executive officers:

Options/SAR Grants in Year-Ended December 31, 2004

(1)

The denominator (of 4,325,000) was arrived at by calculating the net total number of new options awarded to directors, officers, employee and consultants during the year ended December 31, 2004. There were 800,000 stock options granted to non-employees during the year ended December 31, 2004.

In anticipation of the adoption of FAS 123(R) for Altus's calendar year ending December 31, 2006, the Board of Directors approved the vesting of all issued and outstanding stock options issued under the 2004 Stock Option Plan as of December 30, 2005.

There were no stock options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2009.

Directors Compensation

We reimburse our directors for expenses incurred in connection with attending board meetings. We have no present formal plan for compensating our directors for their service in their capacity as directors, although in the future, such directors are expected to receive compensation and options to purchase shares of common stock as awarded by our board of directors or (as to future options) a compensation committee which may be established in the future. Directors are entitled to reimbursement for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of our board of 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. Other than indicated in this annual report, no director received and/or accrued any compensation for his or her services as a director, including committee participation and/or special assignments.

Report on Executive Compensation

Our compensation program for our executive officers is administered and reviewed by our board of directors. Historically, executive compensation consists of a combination of base salary and bonuses. Individual compensation levels are designed to reflect individual responsibilities, performance and experience, as well as the performance of our company. The determination of discretionary bonuses is based on various factors, including implementation of our business plan, acquisition of assets, development of corporate opportunities and completion of financing.

Beneficial Ownership

The following table sets forth, as of April 12, 2009, certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common shares by each shareholder known to us to be the beneficial owner of 5% of our common shares, and by each of our officers and directors.

(2)	Of these shares, 46,434 are owned by CodeAmerica Investments, LLC, a company wholly owned by Mr. Cox.

Changes in Control

We are unaware of any contract or other arrangement the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of our company.

Transactions with management and others

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company incurred consulting fees of $Nil (2008 - $2,641) which were charged by a former director of the Company. This amount has been included in general and administrative expenses for the year.

At December 31, 2009, the Company had received advances from a company controlled by a significant shareholder totaling $Nil (2008 - $66,200). The advances are secured by a general security interest in the assets of the Company and carry an interest rate of 12% per annum. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company incurred $7,944 (2008 - $7,944) in accrued interest on this balance. The total outstanding principal balance of $66,200 (2008 - $66,200) has been included in the convertible loans balance at year end. Accrued interest of $23,704 (2008 -$15,760) has been included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities at year end.

At December 31, 2009, the Company had accounts payable of $35,072 (2008 - $35,072) owing to a company controlled by a significant shareholder. The balance has been included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities at year end. This amount is unsecured, non interest bearing and has not set terms for repayment.

All related party transactions are measured at the exchange amount which is determined by management to approximate their fair value.

On May 10, 2007, Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton Labonte LLP, was engaged as our independent accountant. The change of accountant was approved by majority consent of the board of directors dated May 10, 2007. At the same meeting, the Board of Directors approved the dismissal of Malone & Bailey, PC as its independent accountant effective immediately. There were no disagreements between us and Malone & Bailey, PC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statements disclosures or auditing scope and procedures. The former accountant’s report on our financial statements does not contain any adverse opinions or disclaimers of opinions and is not qualified or modified as to uncertainty other than a going concern uncertainty, auditing scope or accounting principles. Prior to engaging the new accountant, we did not consult with them regarding any accounting or auditing concerns.

Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton Labonte LLP served as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, and has been appointed by the Board to continue as the Company's independent auditor for the Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.

The fees for services provided by Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton Labonte LLP and Malone & Bailey, PC to us in each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007, December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2009 were as follows:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Altus Explorations, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Altus Explorations, Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from January 1, 2007 (inception of Development stage) to December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit 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, based on our audits, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Altus Explorations, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from January 1, 2007 (inception of Development stage) to December 31, 2009 in accordance 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 statements, the Company has not generated revenues since inception, has incurred losses in developing its business, and further losses are anticipated. The Company requires additional funds to meet its obligations and the costs of its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS

Nature of Business

Altus Explorations, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on November 2, 2001. The Company is currently seeking a new business venture.

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. At December 31, 2009, the Company has not yet achieved profitable operations and has accumulated losses of $6,347,767 (2008 - $6,264,010) since its inception and has a working capital deficiency of $317,648 (2008 - $234,356). The continuation of the Company as a going concern and the ability of the Company to emerge from the Development stage are dependent upon management’s successful efforts to raise additional equity financing to continue operations and generate sustainable significant revenues.

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. The Company will require significant additional financial resources and will be dependent on future financings to funds its ongoing operations as well as other working capital requirements. There is no guarantee that management will be able to raise adequate equity financings or generate profits from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management of the Company has undertaken steps as part of a plan with the goal of sustaining Company operations for the next twelve months and beyond. These steps include: (a) continuing efforts to raise additional capital and/or other forms of financing; and (b) controlling overhead and expenses. Management is aware that material uncertainties exist, related to current economic conditions, which could cast a doubt about the Company’s ability to continue to finance its activities. It is to be expected that the Company may incur further losses in the Development of its business and there can be no assurance that any of these efforts will be successful.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP 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. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates and assumptions. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates relate to the determination of impairment of long lived assets, expected tax rates for future income tax recoveries and determining the fair values of financial instruments.

Equipment

Equipment is recorded at cost. Additions are capitalized and maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Gains and losses on dispositions of equipment are reflected in operations. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which is three years for computers.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

Impairment of Assets

The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value cost of the asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset's carrying value and fair value.

Other Comprehensive Income

The Company reports and displays comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had no components that would cause comprehensive income to be different than net loss.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting this standard, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share

Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if potentially dilutive securities were exercised or converted to common stock. The dilutive effect of options and warrants and their equivalent is computed by application of the treasury stock method and the effect of convertible securities by the “if converted” method. For the years presented, diluted loss per share is equal to basic loss per share as the affect of the computations are anti-dilutive.

Financial Instruments

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting of cash, accounts payable, convertible loans and subscriptions received in advance approximates their fair value. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Stock-based Compensation

Compensation cost related to share-based payments, such as stock options and employee stock purchase plans, are recognized in the financial statements based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The compensation cost associated with the issuance of stock options will be recognized over its vesting period based on the estimated grant-date fair value.

Stock awards outstanding under the Company's current plans are fully vested, therefore there is no unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested options. No options were granted or exercised during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d…)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance that establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur subsequent to the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. The statements defines two types of subsequent events: 1) recognized subsequent events, which provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the balance sheet date, and (2) non-recognized subsequent events, which provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the balance sheet date, but arose before the financial statements were issued. Recognized subsequent events are required to be recognized in the financial statements, and non-recognized subsequent events are required to be disclosed. The adoption had no material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued the Accounting Standards Codification, which establishes a sole source of US authoritative GAAP. The Codification is meant to simplify user access to all authoritative accounting guidance by reorganizing US GAAP pronouncements into approximately ninety accounting topics within a consistent structure; its purpose is not to create new accounting and reporting guidance. The adoption of this guidance did not have an effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards groups with future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to be significant to the financial statements of the Company.

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES (cont’d…)

The amount taken into income as deferred income tax assets must reflect that portion of the income tax loss carry forwards that is more likely-than-not to be realized from future operations. The Company has chosen to provide a full valuation allowance against all available income tax loss carry forwards, regardless of their time of expiry.

No provision for income taxes has been provided in these financial statements due to the net loss for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. At December 31, 2009, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards, which expire commencing in 2011. The potential tax benefit of these losses may be limited due to certain change in ownership provisions under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions.
