ITEM 2.      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.

     This section of the report includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.

     We are a start-up stage corporation and are just starting our operations. At this point we have started operations, but have not realized any revenues from our business operations.

     Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that our auditors believe there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not purchased any contracts or generated any revenues from the development. We must raise cash from operations. Our only other source for cash at this time is investments by others in our company. We must raise cash to implement our project and begin our operations. Even with the money we raised from our public offering, we do not know how long the money will last, however, we do believe it will last twelve months. Operations are now under way since we raised the money from our public offering.

     To meet our need for cash, we have raised money through the public offering. We cannot guarantee that once we begin operations we will stay in business after operations have commenced. Further, if we are unable to attract enough clients to utilize our services, we may quickly use up the proceeds from the minimum amount of money from our public offering and will need to find alternative sources, like a second public offering, a private placement of securities, or loans from our officers or others in order for us to maintain our operations. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash, other than through our public offering.

     If we need additional cash and cannot raise it, we will either have to suspend operations until we do raise the cash, or cease operations entirely. We believe the amount raised from our public offering will last a year but with limited funds available to develop growth strategy. If at some point we need more money, we will have to revert to obtaining additional money as described in this paragraph. Other than as described in this paragraph, we have no other financing plans.

Operation to Date

     With the success of our offering, we were able to begin our operations. We established our office and acquired the equipment we needed to begin. We did not hire any employees up to this point and our officers and directors are handling the administrative duties.

     We located a suitable piece of land in order to start our first project. The lot was acquired in the community of Lake Chaparral.

-10-

     Once the land was located, we chose a home plan which best suited the property. The blueprints were drawn up, specifications outlined and decisions on materials made.

     Initial financing through the bank was avoided by obtaining an interest free loan of $25,000 from our President Ian Quinn. The plot plan and blueprint were submitted to the developer of the subdivision and approvals were received.

     The process of tendering out for construction was avoided by working with Shane Homes, who have all the suppliers and trades people in place. Construction of the home was completed at the end of December, approximately three months earlier than expected.

     The home was listed as soon as it was completed as it was decided that with the slowing in the market it would be best to market the home once it was showing its best.

     The home is now sold, but with the significantly slower market in Calgary and area, it took much longer that expected to sell and we did not realize the profit we had anticipated. The sale of the home was just completed, so our next step will be to identify a suitable lot for our next project. In summary, we are in full operation.

Future Operations

     With our initial fundraising in place, we believe we can satisfy our cash requirements during the next 12 months. We will not be conducting any product research or development. We do not intend to hire additional employees in the foreseeable future.

     Although it took longer than expected, our first property is now sold. Now that the home is sold and funds have been received, we are looking towards starting our second project. The first step in building our next home will be identifying and acquiring a suitable lot. We expect to be able to purchase the lot within 60 days.

     Once the lot is acquired, we will determine which type of home plan will best suit the property. Blueprints will be drawn up, specifications outlined and decisions on building materials made. Estimation of time needed for this portion of the process is approximately 45 days.

-11-

     The next step will include submitting the initial plot plan and blueprint to the developer of the area we have chosen for approval and revision as recommended. Estimated time is approximately 30 days.

     The process of retaining a general contractor will take approximately 30 days. The completion of this step will allow a firm time-line for the construction of the home to be put in place.

     Actual construction of the home, from start to finish, should take approximately 180 days. Specific timing of the marketing of this home will not be set until the home is at least framed, approximately 60 days into the building process. Depending marketing conditions at that time, marketing will be commenced or delayed to maximize potential sale price.

     In summary, we should be in a position to realize a profit from selling our second home, within approximately 10-12 months of obtaining a lot.

     Initial up front costs for financing the construction of the new home will be approximately $125,000. Available funds plus proceeds from the sale of the first home, will allow us sufficient funds to cover these costs. Additional financing will be obtained as needed from either a bank loan or from a loan from our President, Ian Quinn.

Limited operating history; need for additional capital

     There is limited historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are in start-up stage operations and have not generated any revenues. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services and products.

     We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.

Results of operations
From Inception on June 27, 2006 to April 30, 2008

     During this period we incorporated the company, hired the attorney, and hired the auditor for the preparation of our registration statement. Our loss since inception is $87,475 of which $60,021 is for professional fees; $11,000 for donated rent and services; $3,277 is for filing fees and general office costs; and $13,177 is for foreign exchange loss. We have started our proposed business operations and will continue to identify building lot/lots to purchase. We will continue to assess the real estate market in the Calgary area.

-12-

     Since inception, we have issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock to our officers and directors for cash proceeds of $5,000. On August 2007, we completed our public offering by selling 1,690,000 shares of common stock and raising $169,000.

Liquidity and capital resources

     On June 15, 2006, we issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. This was accounted for as a sale of common stock. In August, 2007, we also issued 1,690,000 shares of common stock to 54 individuals. This was also accounted for as a sale of common stock.

     As of April 30, 2008, our total assets were $510,696 comprised of $20,852 in cash and $489,844 in real estate property and our total liabilities were $413,171, comprised of a loan of $401,852 from our president, Ian Quinn, accrued liabilities of $7,088 and accounts payable of $4,231. Ian Quinn, our president, loaned us the sum of $401,852 to pay for legal, accounting, home building and other expenses. The amount due to Mr. Quinn will be repaid from the proceeds of our public offering, or by revenues generated from our operations. The loan is unsecured, without interest and due on demand. The agreement with Mr. Quinn is oral. There is no written documentation evidencing the same.

     On June 3, 2008, we sold our real property for consideration of cdn$510,000.

Recent accounting pronouncements

     In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133”. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 161 on its financial statements.

-13-

     In December 2007, the FASB issued No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No.51” SFAS No. 160 requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non controlling interest. SFAS No. 160 also requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SAFAS No. 160 also requires expanded disclosures in the consolidated financial statements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent’s owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 160 on its financial statements.

     In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including and amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2009. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
