PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
Golden Spirit Enterprises Ltd., formerly Golden Spirit Gaming Ltd., formerly Golden Spirit Mining Ltd., formerly Golden Spirit Minerals Ltd., formerly 2UOnline.com, Inc., formerly Power Direct, Inc., was incorporated in the State of Delaware on September 13, 1993, and we maintain our principal executive offices at 1288 Alberni Street, Suite 806, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6E 4N5. Our offices in the United States are located at 177 Telegraph Road, Suite 541, Bellingham, Washington 98226.
We changed our name from Power Direct, Inc., to 2UOnline.com, Inc. by filing a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation on January 31, 2000. We also changed our trading symbol from "PWDR" to "TWOU" in order to reflect our decision to shift our focus from oil and gas production to Internet- related activities. Our symbol was then changed to "TWOUE". On or about April 18, 2000, we were removed from the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board ("OTCBB") for failure to comply with NASD Rule 6530, which requires any company listed on the OTCBB to be current in its public reporting obligations pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. The Company was re-instated on the OTCBB on October 7, 2002 under the symbol "TWOU". The Company filed a certificate of amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the State of Delaware on October 1, 2003 to change its name to Golden Spirit Minerals Ltd. The name change reflects management's decision to shift the Company's focus from internet-based business development to mineral exploration. On October 8, 2003, the trading symbol for the Company became "GSPM". On October 19, 2004, the Company changed its name to Golden Spirit Mining Ltd. and the trading symbol was "GSML". On July 18, 2005 the Company changed its name to Golden Spirit Gaming Ltd. and the trading symbol was GSGL. On June 30, 2006, the Company changed its name to Golden Spirit Enterprises Ltd. and the trading symbol is currently GSPT.
On August 17, 2005, the Company incorporated Golden Spirit Poker Company Limited, a British Virgin Islands Corporation. Golden Spirit Gaming Ltd. was issued 10 shares of this Company for consideration of $10.00, representing 100% of the issued capital of Golden Spirit Poker Company Limited.
We were originally incorporated to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of Delaware. We were inactive from September 13, 1993, through November 1998, when we began the process of identifying potential business interests, including, but not necessarily limited to, interests in oil and natural gas producing properties. The Company will be involved in the development, production, financing and packaging of innovative film and television programming. In addition, the Company has signed an agreement with Eneco Industries to participate in a series of Municipal Solid Waste (garbage) fueled Recycling and Resource Recovery Plants.

OUR BUSINESS
Our initial focus was on the development of oil and natural gas properties. In this regard, we purchased interests in two properties; one in the United States and one in Canada. In or around December 1999, we decided to review the focus of our business, primarily the direction we would take with our various oil and gas projects. We decided that maintaining interests in oil and gas producing properties should no longer be our focus. Due to the growth of the Internet, we decided to pursue Internet-related activities. We determined that Internet-related activities would provide a positive revenue stream sooner than oil and gas producing activities. Due to the lack of success with our internet activities we decided to abandon this business and commencing in 2003 instead pursue opportunities in mineral exploration and development.
We had limited success with both our internet activities and our mineral exploration and development activities. In mid 2005, management of the Company decided to focus on online gaming. On September 30, 2006, Congress passed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006. The new proposed legislation prohibits banks, credit card companies, money transmitting businesses, and other third-party payment providers from knowingly processing online gaming transactions. Due to this ruling and the negative impact it would have on the Golden Spirit poker website, management decided to discontinue its online gaming operations in 2006.
On June 30, 2006, the Company changed its name and focus from gaming to reflect the Companys plan to expand its operations to include the marketing of other products and venues. The Company will be involved in the development, production, financing and packaging of innovative film and television programming.
The Company remains involved in the development, production, financing and packaging of innovative film and television programming. In addition, the Company has signed an agreement with EnEco Industries to participate in a series of Municipal Solid Waste (garbage) fueled Recycling and Resource Recovery Plants. The Agreement calls for a joint venture utilizing EnEco's expertise and technology to develop a municipal solid waste (garbage) recycling and biomass derived renewable energy facility. Golden Spirit and EnEco will build and operate a series of solid waste recycling and biomass derived renewable energy facility with greenhouse and algae subsystems that will utilize our Thermal Oxidation Process System (TOPS) technology to generate electricity for sale to the local power grid. Further details on the new Golden Spirit - EnEco project can be viewed on our website www.goldenspirit.ws.

WASTE ENERGY SECTOR
The Thermal Oxidation Process System (TOPS) Greencycle Gasification plants decompose organic matter (with heat and air) and recover non-organics by utilizing specialized equipment and is a proven alternative to landfills. Greencycle uses low heat (500-600 Celsius) to convert all the carbon locked up in unsorted garbage into a form where it produces high quality heat through a second stage gas oxidizer running at around 1,100 Celsius. This process creates energy, enough to make electrical energy and support district heating / greenhouses. The Greencycle system provides controlled conditions to utilize Carbon Dioxide (CO2) for accelerated plant growth in greenhouses and algae farms. The other non-carbon materials in garbage, such as aluminum, tin, copper and stainless steel, and can be easily separated after all the carbon has been removed without melting or slagging. Micron sized metals, silica, calcium etc, are also sorted out for re-use by using the Ash Recycling and Recovery Equipment (ARRE) sub-system.
As of December 31, 2009, the Company has not secured any facilities to construct the Gasification Plant, nor has it incurred any other expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2009. (2008 - $Nil)

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On May 2, 2003, the Company issued 25,000 post reverse-split common shares valued at $9,000 to a consultant pursuant to a stock option incentive plan. The consultant failed to meet the terms of the stock option agreement by not paying the exercise price and as a result, the Company requested the return of the 25,000 post reverse-split shares. The consultant refused to return the shares; therefore, the Company issued a stop transfer and commenced legal proceedings to recover the shares. The consultant subsequently filed a Statement of Claim against the Company for damages of $53,000 Cdn. On April 29, 2005, the Supreme Court of British Columbia issued a judgment awarding the plaintiff $15,000 Cdn in damages and $7,180 Cdn in costs; however, the 25,000 post reverse-split shares were to be returned to the Company (not yet received). In September 2005, the Company and the plaintiff agreed to payment terms to settle this damage award by a payment of $6,080 Cdn (paid) and a payment schedule of $1,000 Cdn per month for the remaining balance of the judgment commencing December 1, 2005. The $6,080 Cdn payment was made as the result of a bailiffs executed court order on September 28, 2005, which seized the Companys bank account. No further payments have been made towards the settlement agreement due to the Plaintiffs refusal to sign the order. However, in the fourth quarter of 2009, the Supreme Court of British Columbia ruled in favor of the plaintiff despite the plaintiffs failure to return the shares to the Company. In addition to the $6,080 Cdn. payment previously made and an amount of $14,810 US accrued towards a final resolution of the matter, the Company was ordered to pay an additional $52,169 US in damages and the case is now closed.
On September 28, 2005, the Company received notice of a lawsuit from Thomas L. Franklin, a professional poker player formerly under contract with 4KE, for an alleged breach of contract for services rendered based on the original contract between the Company and 4KE dated July 18, 2005. The Company, 4KE, and certain individuals, are being sued for $967,500, plus interest at the rate of 8% per annum from August 22, 2005, and all costs pertaining to this legal matter. An attorney in Mississippi has been retained to defend this action and to apply for a dismissal of the case, based on Mississippi being the wrong jurisdiction for this suit and to defend the Company from the claims made by the plaintiff. The court case was dismissed in favour of the Company in the second quarter of 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.
For the year ended December 31, 2009, we had total assets of $137,827, compared to total assets in 2008 of $1,015,455. This includes a cash balance of $1,223, compared to $1,556 in 2008. We have accounts receivable of $3,076, available for sale securities with a fair value of $53,716 as at December 31, 2009, Film production & Development Costs of $1, due from legacy Wine & Spirits International Ltd. of 72,668, due from Organa Gardens International Inc.of $7,143 and Furniture and Equipment of $Nil.
At December 31, 2009, we had current liabilities of $261,419, which was represented by accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $33,582 and $227,837 due to related parties. At December 31, 2008 we had current liabilities of $324,635. The decrease in liabilities was essentially due to an decrease in amounts payable to Organa Gardens International Inc.and related parties. At December 31, 2009, we had a working capital deficiency of $(257,120) (2008 - $(322,980)).
Results of Operations
We realized revenue in 2009 of $Nil (2008- $ Nil) and other income of $7,723 (2008 - $28,645) as the result of a gain on the sale of securities of a related party. In prior years, our revenues from prior businesses totaled $167,449. During the year ended December 31, 2009 our loss was $174,064 (2008 - $245,550). This decrease in loss was due to a decrease in consulting fees and no write-downs in film production and distribution costs.
-14-
From inception to December 31, 2009, we have incurred cumulative net losses of $16,886,625 resulting primarily from a write-down and equity loss in Organa Gardens International Inc. (a related party) of $1,707,581, a $600,000 property option loss as a recorded value of certain restricted shares issued to Legacy Wine & Spirits International Ltd. (a related party see our Investment in Available for sale securities (b) Legacy Wine & Spirits International Ltd. above) and general and administrative expenses of $15,574,571, the majority of which is made up of consulting fees and stock based compensation expense totaling $7,419,966.
The cash and equivalents constitute our present internal sources of liquidity. Because we are not generating any significant revenues, our only external source of liquidity is the sale of our capital stock and any advances from officers, directors or shareholders.
To address the going concern problem discussed in our financial statements, we will require additional working capital. We will also require additional funds to implement our business strategies, including funds for:
payment of increased operating expenses, and further implementation of film industry business strategies.
payment of undetermined expenses relating to the Eneco venture.
No assurance can be given, however, that we will have access to the capital markets in the future, or that financing will be available on acceptable terms to satisfy our cash requirements needed to implement our business strategies. Our inability to access the capital markets or obtain acceptable financing could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition and could severely threaten our ability to operate as a going concern. Our forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary as a result of a number of factors.
Our Plan of Operation for the Next 12 Months. We anticipate that we will need to raise additional capital within the next 12 months in order to continue as a going concern. Anticipated revenues for the first quarter of 2009 are not expected to be significant. Therefore, additional capital may be raised through additional public or private financings, as well as borrowings and other resources. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or equity-related securities, the issuance of such securities could result in dilution of our stockholders. There can be no assurance that additional funding will be available on favorable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available within the next 12 months, we may be required to curtail our operations significantly or to obtain funds through entering into arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to certain of our assets that we would not otherwise relinquish.
We do anticipate certain expenditures within the next 12 months for our film production and distribution. We do not anticipate any significant research and development within the next 12 months, nor do we anticipate that we will lease or purchase any significant equipment within the next 12 months. We do not anticipate a significant change in the number of our employees within the next 12 months. We are not aware of any material commitment or condition that may affect our liquidity within the next 12 months.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Golden Spirit Enterprises Ltd.
Quebec, Canada
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Golden Spirit Enterprises Ltd. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2009 and for the cumulative period from September 13, 1998 (inception) to December 31, 2009. Golden Spirit Enterprises Ltd.s management is responsible for these statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our 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 Companys 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 provides 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 Golden Spirit Enterprises Ltd. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its activities and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2009 and for the cumulative period from September 13, 1993 (inception) to December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Companys current liabilities exceed current assets, has incurred significant losses since inception, all of which raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

GOLDEN SPIRIT ENTERPRISES LTD.
(A development stage company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008 |
NOTE 1 NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Company was incorporated on September 13, 1993 in the State of Delaware as Power Direct, Inc. On January 31, 2000 the Company changed its name to 2U Online.com Inc. to reflect managements decision to shift the Companys focus from oil and gas exploration and development to internet-based business development. On October 8, 2003, the Company changed its name to Golden Spirit Minerals Ltd. to reflect managements decision to shift the Companys focus from internet-based business development to mineral exploration. On October 19, 2004, the Company changed its name to Golden Spirit Mining Ltd. On July 18, 2005, the Company changed its name to Golden Spirit Gaming Ltd. to reflect managements decision to develop an online gaming business. The launch of the updated goldenspiritpoker.com website featuring real cash games, in addition to play money games, occurred in January 2006. By agreement dated July 18, 2005 as amended September 20, 2005 (the Amended Agreement), the Company agreed to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of 4 Of A Kind Enterprises (4KE) doing business as EverythingAboutPoker.com for consideration of 1,388,889 post-reverse split restricted shares of the Companys common stock which were placed in trust pending finalization of the agreement. The parties have agreed to complete this acquisition, subject to satisfactory completion of due diligence (See Note 5), effective March 31, 2006. Effective June 30, 2006, the Company completed a 1 for 18 reverse stock split (refer Note 7) and changed its name to Golden Spirit Enterprises Ltd. to reflect the Companys plan to expand its operations to include the marketing of other products and venues not related to gaming. The Company will be involved in the development, production, financing and packaging of innovative film and television programming. In addition, the Company has signed an agreement with Eneco Industries to participate in a series of Municipal Solid Waste (garbage) fueled Recycling and Resource Recovery Plants and the Company signed an agreement to acquire 32 BLM gold mineral lease claims in the newly discovered Long Canyon Trend of east central Nevada
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses since inception of $16,886,625 and at December 31, 2009 had a working capital deficiency of $257,120. The Company and its subsidiaries are in the development stage and further significant losses are expected to be incurred in developing its business. The recoverability of the carrying value of assets and the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising additional capital and ultimately on generating future profitable operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise the necessary funds when needed to finance its ongoing costs. Given the Companys limited operating history, lack of sales, and its operating losses, there can be no assurance that it will be able to achieve or maintain profitability. The Company intends to fund the marketing of its business with both equity financing and joint venture opportunities, although there are no assurances these opportunities will be successful. Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt regarding the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, a 100% interest in PD Oil & Gas, Inc. (inactive), and a 100% interest in Cardstakes.com Enterprises Ltd. (inactive).
Furniture and Equipment
Furniture and equipment is carried at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets on a 30% declining balance basis per annum.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
Preparation of the Companys financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Stares requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. The significant areas requiring managements estimates and assumptions relate to determining the fair value of stock-based compensation, fair value of shares issued for services and the acquisitions and useful lives of long-lived assets.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Companys financial instruments include cash, receivables, available-for-sale securities, amounts due from Legacy Wine & Spirits International Ltd., accounts payable and accrued liabilities, amounts due to Organa Gardens International Inc., and due to related parties. Management believes the fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature.
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC or the Codification) Topic 820-10 (formerly SFAS No. 157) for all financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Topic 820-10 (formerly SFAS No. 157) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Topic 820-10 (formerly SFAS No. 157) defines fair value as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk including our own credit risk.
-25-
In addition to defining fair value, Topic 820-10 (formerly SFAS No. 157) expands the disclosure requirements around fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels which is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:
* Level 1 inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
* Level 2 inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
* Level 3 inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect managements estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques
In general, and where applicable, we use quoted prices in an active market for identical derivative assets and liabilities that are traded on exchanges. These derivative assets and liabilities are included in Level 1.
Foreign Currency Translation
The financial statements are presented in United States dollars. In accordance with ASC Topic 830 (formerly SFAS No. 52), Foreign Currency Translation, foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to their United States dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates that prevailed at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the year. Related translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders equity, whereas gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations.
Available For Sale Securities Related Party
The Company holds marketable equity securities which are available-for-sale and as such, their carrying value is adjusted to market at the end of each reporting period. As required by ASC Topic 220 (formerly SFAS 130), unrealized gains and losses on these investments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are recorded as a component of net income (loss) when realized. However, if there is a permanent decline in the market value of available-for-sale securities, this permanent market value adjustment is taken into income in the period.
Film Production and Development Costs
Capitalized film production and development costs consist of investments in films which include the unamortized costs of completed films which have been produced by the Company or for which the Company has acquired distribution rights. For films produced by the Company, capitalized costs include all direct production and financing costs, and production overhead. For acquired films, capitalized costs consist of minimum guarantee payments to acquire the distribution rights.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Costs of acquiring and producing films are amortized using the individual-film-forecast method as defined in ASC Topic 300 (formerly SOP 00-2), whereby these are amortized and participation and residual costs are accrued in the proportion that current years revenue bears to managements estimate of ultimate revenue at the beginning of the current year expected to be recognized from the exploitation, exhibition or sale of the films.
Capitalized film costs are stated at the lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value on an individual film basis. The valuation of investment in films is reviewed on a title-by-title basis, when an event or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a film is less than its unamortized cost. The fair value of the film is determined using managements future revenue and cost estimates. Additional amortization is recorded for the amount, if any, by which the unamortized costs exceed the estimated fair value of the film. Estimates of future revenue involve measurement uncertainty and it is therefore possible that reductions in the carrying value of investment in films may be required as a consequence of changes in managements future revenue estimates.
Films in progress include the accumulated costs of production, which have not yet been completed by the Company.
-26-
Films in development include costs of acquiring film rights to original screenplays and costs to adapt such projects. Such costs are capitalized and, upon commencement of production, are transferred to production costs. Projects in development are written off at the earlier of the date determined not to be recoverable or when abandoned, or three years from the date of the initial investment.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC Topic 740-10 & 740-30(formerly SFAS No. 109) Accounting for Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax balances. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the future benefit, or if the future deductibility is uncertain. In accordance with ASC 740-10 (formerly FIN No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109). This interpretation introduces a new approach that changes how enterprises recognize and measure tax benefits associated with tax positions and how enterprises disclose uncertainties related to income tax positions in their financial statements. The company does not currently expect that adoption of ASC 740-10 (formerly FIN 48) will not have a material impact on the companys consolidated results of operations and financial position.
Loss per Common Share
The Company computes loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260 (formerly SFAS 128), Earnings per Share which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options, using the treasury method. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for all compensation related to stock, options or warrants using a fair value based method whereby compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to calculate the fair value of options and warrants issued to both employees and non-employees. Stock issued for compensation is valued using the market price of the stock on the date of the related agreement.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2008, the FASB issued an update to FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging This update is intended to enhance the current disclosure framework in FASB ASC 815. Under this update, entities will have to provide disclosures about (a) how and why and entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB ASC 815 and its related interpretations, and (c), how derivative instruments and related hedged items effect an entitys financial position, financial performance and cash flows. This update is effective for all financial statements issued for fiscal and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not currently have any derivative instruments, nor does it engage in hedging activities, therefore, the Companys adoption of this update in the first quarter of 2009 was without significant financial impact.
In April 2009, the FASB issued an accounting standard that requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments not measured on the balance sheet at fair value in interim financial statements as well as in annual financial statements. Prior to this accounting standard, fair values for these assets and liabilities were only required be disclosed annually. This standard applies to all financial instruments within its scope and requires all entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. This standard does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption, but in periods after the initial adoption, this standard requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. This accounting standard became effective for us beginning with the quarter ended on June 30, 2009, however, it did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 855, Subsequent Events, ASC 855 provides authoritative accounting literature related to evaluating subsequent events that was previously addressed only in the auditing literature, and is largely similar to the current guidance in the auditing literature with some exceptions that are not intended to result in significant changes in practice. SFAS 165 defines subsequent events and also requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date. ASC 855 is effective on a prospective basis for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard during the period did not have any impact on the Companys financial position, cash flows or results of operations. The adoption of this standard during the period did not have any impact on the Companys financial position, cash flows or results of operations. On February 24, 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-09, Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements As a result of the amendments, SEC filers that file financial statements after February 24, 2010 are not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated.
-28-
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. SFAS No. 166 amends SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities by eliminating the concept of special-purpose entity, requiring the reporting entity to provide more information about sales of securitized financial assets and similar transactions, particularly if the seller retains some risk to the assets, changes the requirements for the de-recognition of financial assets, and provides for the sellers of the assets to make additional disclosures. This Statement shall be effective as of the Companys first interim reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. Earlier application is prohibited. The Company does not anticipate any significant financial impact from adoption of SFAS No. 166. As of September 30, 2009, SFAS No. 166 has not been added to the Codification.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). SFAS No. 167 addresses the effect on FASB Interpretation 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept of SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets. SFAS No. 167 also amends the accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB Interpretation 46(R) to enhance the timeliness and usefulness of information about an enterprises involvement in a variable interest entity. This Statement shall be effective as of the Companys first interim reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. Earlier application is prohibited. The Company does not anticipate any significant financial impact from adoption of SFAS No. 167. As of December 31, 2009, SFAS No. 167 has not been added to the Codification.
In June 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2009-01 (Topic 105) Generally Accepted Accounting Principles amendments based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168 The FASB Accounting and Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Beginning with this Statement the FASB will no longer issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standard Updates. This ASU includes FASB Statement No. 168 in its entirety. While ASUs will not be considered authoritative in their own right, they will serve to update the Codification, provide the bases for conclusions and changes in the Codification, and provide background information about the guidance. The Codification modifies the GAAP hierarchy to include only two levels of GAAP: authoritative and nonauthoritative.
ASU No. 2009-01 is effective for financial statements issued for the interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, and the Company does not expect any significant financial impact upon adoption.
In July 2009, the FASB officially launched the FASB ASC 105 -- Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification), as the single official source of authoritative, nongovernmental, U.S. GAAP, in addition to guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Codification is designed to simplify U.S. GAAP into a single, topically ordered structure. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Accordingly, the Company refers to the Codification in respect of the appropriate accounting standards throughout this document as FASB ASC. Implementation of the Codification did not have any impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
-29-
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value. This ASU clarifies the fair market value measurement of liabilities. In circumstances where a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following techniques: a technique that uses quoted price of the identical or a similar liability or liabilities when traded as an asset or assets, or another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of Topic 820 such as an income or market approach. ASU No. 2009-05 was effective upon issuance and it did not result in any significant financial impact on the Company upon adoption.
In September 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2009-12 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or its equivalent). This ASU permits use of a practical expedient, with appropriate disclosures, when measuring the fair value of an alternative investment that does not have a readily determinable fair value. ASU No. 2009-12 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009, with early application permitted. Since the Company does not currently have any such investments, it does not anticipate any impact on its financial statements upon adoption.
.
In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-17 regarding consolidations and improvements to financial reporting by enterprises involved with VIEs. This ASU changes how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entitys purpose and design and a companys ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance. This statement is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 (October 1, 2010). We are currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of ASU No. 2009-17 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 9 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On May 2, 2003, the Company issued 25,000 post reverse-split common shares valued at $9,000 to a consultant pursuant to a stock option incentive plan. The consultant failed to meet the terms of the stock option agreement by not paying the exercise price and as a result, the Company requested the return of the 25,000 post reverse-split shares. The consultant refused to return the shares; therefore, the Company issued a stop transfer and commenced legal proceedings to recover the shares. The consultant subsequently filed a Statement of Claim against the Company for damages of $53,000 Cdn. On April 29, 2005, the Supreme Court of British Columbia issued a judgment awarding the plaintiff $15,000 Cdn in damages and $7,180 Cdn in costs; however, the 25,000 post reverse-split shares were to be returned to the Company (not yet received). In September 2005, the Company and the plaintiff agreed to payment terms to settle this damage award by a payment of $6,080 Cdn (paid) and a payment schedule of $1,000 Cdn per month for the remaining balance of the judgment commencing December 1, 2005. The $6,080 Cdn payment was made as the result of a bailiffs executed court order on September 28, 2005, which seized the Companys bank account. No further payments were made towards the settlement agreement due to the Plaintiffs refusal to sign the order. However, in the fourth quarter of 2009, the Supreme Court of British Columbia ruled in favor of the plaintiff despite the plaintiffs failure to return the shares to the Company. In addition to the $6,080 Cdn. payment previously made and an amount of $14,810 US accrued towards a final resolution of the matter, the Company was ordered to pay an additional $52,169 US in damages and the case is now closed.

On September 28, 2005, the Company received notice of a lawsuit from Thomas L. Franklin, a professional poker player formerly under contract with 4KE, for an alleged breach of contract for services rendered based on the original contract between the Company and 4KE dated July 18, 2005. The Company, 4KE, and certain individuals, are being sued for $967,500, plus interest at the rate of 8% per annum from August 22, 2005, and all costs pertaining to this legal matter. An attorney in Mississippi has been retained to defend this action and to apply for a dismissal of the case, based on Mississippi being the wrong jurisdiction for this suit and to defend the Company from the claims made by the plaintiff. The court case was dismissed in favour of the Company in the second quarter of 2008.
As of August 1, 2002, the Company has leased 1250 sq. ft of office space from Holm Investments Ltd. at $1,000 per month for a period of 3 years and was renewed for an additional 3 years at $2,050 per month.

NOTE 10 INCOME TAXES
As of December 31, 2009, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $17,750,000 that may be available to reduce future years' taxable income and will expire between the years 2010 - 2029. Availability of tax losses is subject to change of ownership limitations under Internal Revenue Code 382. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carryforwards.
The actual income tax provisions differ from the expected amounts calculated by applying the federal income tax statutory rate to the Companys loss before income taxes. The components of these differences are as follows:
Year ended December 31, 2009 | Year ended December 31, 2008 | ||
Loss before income taxes | $ (174,064) | $ (245,550) | |
Combined federal and state corporate tax rate | 42.7% | 42.7% | |

Change in valuation allowance | (22,765) | 8,000 | |
Income tax provision | $ - | $ - |
