SUMMARY
PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE URGED TO READ THIS PROSPECTUS IN ITS ENTIRETY.
We intend to commence operations in the business of consulting oil & gas exploration companies who are interested in obtaining new exploration and production license of oil and gas properties in Russia. We intend to initially focus our consulting services on North American oil and gas exploration companies who are interested in participating in government auctions of oil and gas properties in Russia. Our services will include gathering of due diligence materials for properties that will be sold at a government auctions in Russia and assistance in the bidding process.
We were incorporated on January 16, 2008 under the laws of the state of Nevada. Our principal offices are located at 204 West Spear Street, Carson City, NV, 89703. Our telephone number is (702) 727-1033.
THE OFFERING:
Securities Being Offered Up to 2,050,000 shares of common stock. Offering Price The selling shareholders will sell our shares at $0.05 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. We determined this offering price arbitrarily by adding a $0.03 premium to the last sale price of our common stock to investors. Terms of the Offering The selling shareholders will determine when and how they will sell the common stock offered in this prospectus. Termination of the Offering The offering will conclude when all of the 2,050,000 shares of common stock have been sold, the shares no longer need to be registered to be sold due to the operation of Rule 144 or we decide at any time to terminate the registration of the shares at our sole discretion. In any event, the offering shall be terminated no later than two years from the effective date of this registration statement. Securities Issued and to be Issued 2,050,000 shares of our common stock to be sold in this prospectus are issued and outstanding as of the date of this prospectus. All of the common stock to be sold under this prospectus will be sold by existing shareholders. Use of Proceeds We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock by the selling shareholders. Market for the common stock There has been no market for our securities. Our common stock is not traded on any exchange or on the Over-the-Counter market. After the effective date of the registration statement relating to this prospectus, we hope to have a market maker file an application with FINRA for our common stock to be come eligible for trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. We do not yet have a market maker who has agreed to file such application. There is no assurance that a trading market will develop or, if developed, that it will be sustained. Consequently, a purchaser of our common stock may find it difficult to resell the securities offered herein should the purchaser desire to do so. |

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this prospectus before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
IF WE DO NOT OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING, OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL.
While at June 30, 2008, we had cash on hand of $24,207 we have accumulated a deficit of $1,283 in business development and administrative expenses. At this rate, we expect that we will only be able to continue operations for one year without additional funding. We anticipate that additional funding will be needed for general administrative expenses and marketing costs. We have not generated any revenue from operations to date.
In order to expand our business operations, we anticipate that we will have to raise additional funding. If we are not able to raise the capital necessary to fund our business expansion objectives, we may have to delay the implementation of our business plan.
We do not currently have any arrangements for financing. Obtaining additional funding will be subject to a number of factors, including general market conditions, investor acceptance of our business plan and initial results from our business operations. These factors may impact the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing available to us. The most likely source of future funds available to us is through the sale of additional shares of common stock or advances from our sole director.
A DECLINE IN OIL AND GAS PRICES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS, WHICH COULD MEAN A DECREASE IN OUR REVENUES.
We anticipate that our business will be affected by oil and gas prices. Weakness in oil and gas prices (or the perception that oil and gas prices will decrease) may result in a decrease of our client's interest in auction participation. With
significant declines in prices for oil and natural gas our potential clients most likely will not be interested in developing new projects. It could materially and adversely affect our business and could seriously decrease our revenues or prevent us from generating any revenues.
IF OUR CLIENTS ARE NOT ABLE TO WIN AUCTIONS WE WILL NOT RECEIVE OUR TOTAL FEE FROM THEM, WHICH WILL HAVE A NEGATIVE AFFECT ON OUR REVENUES.
Our consulting fee is based on a flat fee plus a percentage of the final price of the property purchased from the government auction. If our client's tender bid is not sufficient to win the auction, we will only be paid a flat fee for our services and not the percentage fee. Our out of pocket expenses during auction preparation may exceed the fee received from our client and we may incur losses, which will negatively affect our revenue.
BECAUSE OUR SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR HAS OTHER BUSINESS INTERESTS, HE MAY NOT BE ABLE OR WILLING TO DEVOTE A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF TIME TO OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS, CAUSING OUR BUSINESS TO FAIL.
Our sole officer and director, Artur Etezov, will only be devoting limited time to our operations. Mr. Etezov intends to devote 25% of his business time to our affairs. Because our sole officer and director will only be devoting limited time to our operations, our operations may be sporadic and occur at times which are convenient to him. As a result, operations may be periodically interrupted or suspended which could result in a lack of revenues and a possible cessation of operations. It is possible that the demands on Artur Etezov from his other obligations could increase with the result that he would no longer be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our business. In addition, Mr. Etezov may not possess sufficient time for our business if the demands of managing our business increase substantially beyond current levels.
BECAUSE WE HAVE ONLY ONE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR WHO HAS NO TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE IN OIL & GAS EXPLORATION AND FORMAL TRAINING IN FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING AND MANAGENENT, OUR BUSINESS HAS A HIGHER RISK OF FAILURE.
We have only one officer and director. He has no formal training in financial accounting and management; however, he is responsible for our managerial and organizational structure, which will include preparation of disclosure and accounting controls. While Mr. Etezov has no formal training in financial accounting matters, he has been reviewing the financial statements that have been audited and reviewed by our auditors and included in this prospectus. When the disclosure and accounting controls referred to above are implemented, he will be responsible for the administration of them. Should he not have sufficient experience, he may be incapable of creating and implementing the controls which may cause us to be subject to sanctions and fines by the SEC which ultimately could cause you to lose your investment. However, because of the small size of our expected operations, we believe that he will be able to monitor the controls he will have created and will be accurate in assembling and providing information to investors. In addition, Artur Etezov has no professional training or technical credentials in the field of geology. As a result, he may not be able to recognize and take advantage of potential acquisition and exploration opportunities in the sector without the aid of qualified geological consultants. Their decisions and choices may not take into account standard engineering or managerial approaches oil & gas exploration companies commonly use. Consequently our operations, earnings and ultimate financial success may suffer irreparable harm as a result.
BECAUSE OUR CONTINUATION AS A GOING CONCERN IS IN DOUBT, WE WILL BE FORCED TO CEASE BUSINESS OPERATIONS UNLESS WE CAN GENERATE PROFITABLE OPERATIONS IN THE FUTURE.
We have incurred losses since our inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $1,283 at June 30, 2008. Further losses are anticipated in the development of our business. As a result, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. We will require additional funds in order to provide proper service to our potential clients. At this time, we cannot assure investors that we will be able to obtain financing. If we are unable to raise needed financing, we will have to delay or abandon further consulting efforts. If we cannot raise financing to meet our obligations, we will be insolvent and will be forced to cease our business operations.
BECAUSE OUR DIRECTOR OWNS 59.4% OF OUR ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK, HE COULD MAKE AND CONTROL CORPORATE DECISIONS THAT MAY BE DISADVANTAGEOUS TO MINORITY SHAREHOLDERS.
Our director, Artur Etezov, owns approximately 59.4% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Accordingly, he will have a significant influence in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including mergers, consolidations, and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets. He will also have the power to prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of our director may differ from the interests of the other stockholders and thus result in corporate decisions that are disadvantageous to other shareholders.
IF ARTUR ETEZOV, OUR SOLE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR, SHOULD RESIGN OR DIE, WE WILL NOT HAVE A CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER. THIS COULD RESULT IN OUR OPERATIONS SUSPENDING, AND YOU COULD LOSE YOUR INVESTMENT.
We depend on the services of our sole officer and director, Artur Etezov, for the future success of our business. The loss of the services of Mr. Etezov could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If he should resign or die we will not have a chief executive officer. If that should occur, until we find another person to act as our chief executive officer, our operations could be suspended. In that event it is possible you could lose your entire investment. We do not carry any key personnel life insurance policies on Mr. Etezov and we do not have a contract for his services.
U.S. INVESTORS MAY EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTIES IN ATTEMPTING TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS AND TO ENFORCE JUDGMENTS BASED UPON U.S. FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS AGAINST THE COMPANY AND ITS SOLE NON-U.S. RESIDENT OFFICER AND DIRECTOR.
While we are organized under the laws of State of Nevada, our sole officer and director is non-U.S. resident. In addition, we plan to establish an office in Russia. Consequently, it may be difficult for investors to affect service of process on Mr. Etezov in the United States and to enforce in the United States judgments obtained in United States courts against Mr. Etezov based on the civil liability provisions of the United States securities laws. Since all our assets will be located in Russia it may be difficult or impossible for U.S. investors to collect a judgment against us. As well, any judgment obtained in the United States against us may not be enforceable in the United States.
OUR BUSINESS CAN BE AFFECTED BY CURRENCY RATE FLUCTUATIONS AS OUR PROJECTS ARE IN RUSSIA AND ALL AUCTIONS AND OPERATIONS ARE IN RUSSIAN RUBLES.
All of our operation in Russia will be in Russian Rubles. Also, we will take part in auctions organized by the Russian government that are in Russian currency, so we are affected by changes in foreign exchange rates. For the last six years the Russian Ruble has risen 30% against the US Dollar. Some of our flat fee revenues from our clients will be in U.S. Dollars, however many of our expenses in Russia, as well as commissions from auction participation will be in Russian Rubles. If we are not able to successfully protect ourselves against those currency fluctuations, then our profits will also fluctuate and could cause us to be less profitable or incur losses, even if our business is doing well.
IF A MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK DOES NOT DEVELOP, SHAREHOLDERS MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL THEIR SHARES.
There is currently no market for our common stock and we can provide no assurance that a market will develop. We plan to apply for listing of our common stock on the over the counter bulletin board upon the effectiveness of the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part. However, we can provide investors with no assurance that our shares will be traded on the bulletin board or, if traded, that a public market will materialize. If no market is ever developed for our shares, it will be difficult for shareholders to sell their stock. In such a case, shareholders may find that they are unable to achieve benefits from their investment.
OUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ARE SUBJECT TO THE "PENNY STOCK' RULES OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION AND THE TRADING MARKET IN OUR SECURITIES WILL BE LIMITED, WHICH WILL MAKE TRANSACTIONS IN OUR STOCK CUMBERSOME AND MAY REDUCE THE VALUE OF AN INVESTMENT IN OUR STOCK.
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks." Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the
SEC, which specifies information about penny stocks and the nature and significance of risks of the penny stock market. A broker-dealer must also provide the customer with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer, and sales person in the transaction, and monthly account statements indicating the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those 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 trading activity in the secondary market for stock that becomes subject to those penny stock rules. If a trading market for our common stock develops, our common stock will probably become subject to the penny stock rules, and shareholders may have difficulty in selling their shares.
ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDING WE ARRANGE THROUGH THE SALE OF OUR COMMON STOCK WILL RESULT IN DILUTION TO EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS.
We must raise additional capital in order for our business plan to succeed. Our most likely source of additional capital will be through the sale of additional shares of common stock. Such stock issuances will cause stockholders' interests in our company to be diluted. Such dilution will negatively affect the value of investors' shares.
WE DO NOT EXPECT TO PAY DIVIDENDS IN THE FORESEEBLE FUTURE.
We have never paid any dividends on our common stock. We do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock at any time in the foreseeable future. The future payment of dividends directly depends upon our future earnings, capital requirements, financial requirements and other factors that our board of directors will consider. Since we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock, a return on your investment, if any, will depend solely on an increase, if any, in the market value of our common stock
WE HAVE NO EXPERIENCE AS A PUBLIC COMPANY.
We have never operated as a public company. We have no experience in complying with the various rules and regulations, which are required of a public company. As a result, we may not be able to operate successfully as a public company, even if our operations are successful. We plan to comply with all of the various rules and regulations, which are required of a public company. However, if we cannot operate successfully as a public company, your investment may be adversely affected. Our inability to operate as a public company could be the basis of your losing your entire investment in us.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. We use words such as anticipate, believe, plan, expect, future, intend and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking statements. You should not place too much reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our actual results are most likely to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks faced by us described in the "Risk Factors" section and elsewhere in this prospectus.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock offered through this prospectus by the selling shareholders.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The selling shareholders will sell our shares at $0.05 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. We determined this offering price arbitrarily, by adding a $0.03 premium to the last sale price of our common stock to investors. There is no assurance of when, if ever, our stock will be listed on an exchange.
DILUTION
The common stock to be sold by the selling shareholders is common stock that is currently issued and outstanding. Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our existing shareholders.
SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
The selling shareholders named in this prospectus are offering all of the 2,050,000 shares of common stock offered through this prospectus.

The named party beneficially owns and has sole voting and investment power over all shares or rights to these shares. The numbers in this table assume that none of the selling shareholders sells shares of common stock not being offered in this prospectus or purchases additional shares of common stock, and assumes that all shares offered are sold. The percentages are based on 5,050,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the date of this prospectus.
None of the selling shareholders:
1. has had a material relationship with us other than as a shareholder at
any time within the past three years;
2. has ever been one of our officers or directors;
3. is a broker-dealer; or a broker-dealer's affiliate.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling shareholders may sell some or all of their common stock in one or more transactions, including block transactions. There are no arrangements, agreements or understandings with respect to the sale of these securities.
The selling shareholders will sell our shares at $0.05 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. We determined this offering price arbitrarily by adding a $0.03 premium to the last sale price of our common stock to investors. There is no assurance of when, if ever, our stock will be listed on an exchange or quotation system.
The shares may also be sold in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's Rule 144, when eligible.
If applicable, the selling shareholders may distribute shares to one or more of their partners who are unaffiliated with us. Such partners may, in turn, distribute such shares as described above. If these shares being registered for resale are transferred from the named selling shareholders and the new shareholders wish to rely on the prospectus to resell these shares, then we must first file a prospectus supplement naming these individuals as selling shareholders and providing the information required concerning the identity of each selling shareholder and he or her relationship to us. There is no agreement
or understanding between the selling shareholders and any partners with respect to the distribution of the shares being registered for resale pursuant to this registration statement.
We can provide no assurance that all or any of the common stock offered will be sold by the selling shareholders.
We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the common stock. The selling shareholders, however, will pay any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the common stock.
The selling shareholders must comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act in the offer and sale of the common stock. In particular, during such times as the selling shareholders may be deemed to be engaged in a distribution of the common stock, and therefore be considered to be an underwriter, they must comply with applicable law and may, among other things:
1. Not engage in any stabilization activities in connection with our
common stock;
2. Furnish each broker or dealer through which common stock may be
offered, such copies of this prospectus, as amended from time to time,
as may be required by such broker or dealer; and
3. Not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any
person to purchase any of our securities other than as permitted under
the Securities Exchange Act.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has also adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which contains:
- a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny
stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
- a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and
of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a
violation of such duties or other requirements;
- 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 price;
- a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
- a definition of significant terms in the disclosure document or in the
conduct of trading penny stocks; and
- such other information and is in such form (including language, type,
size, and format) as the Commission shall require by rule or
regulation.
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with:
- bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
- the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the
transaction;
- the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other
comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the
market for such stock; and
- monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny
stock held in the customer's account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those 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 acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
GENERAL
Our authorized capital stock consists of 75,000,000 shares of common stock at a par value of $0.001 per share.
COMMON STOCK
As of July 25, 2008, there were 5,050,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding that are held by 29 stockholders of record.
Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Holders of our common stock representing a majority of the voting power of our capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of our stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to our articles of incorporation.
Holders of common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. Holders of our common stock have no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our common stock.
PREFERRED STOCK
We do not have an authorized class of preferred stock.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
SHARE PURCHASE WARRANTS
We have not issued and do not have any outstanding warrants to purchase shares of our common stock.
OPTIONS
We have not issued and do not have any outstanding options to purchase shares of our common stock.
CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
We intend to provide consulting services to North American oil & gas exploration companies who are interested in obtaining new exploration and production license in the East Siberian Region in Russia. Our services will include gathering and preparing due diligence materials for properties that will be sold at government auctions in Russia. We also plan to offer assistance in the bidding process.
Each year the Russian government auctions ten to twenty exploration licenses in the East Siberian Region, which is very rich in oil & natural gas. This process began in 2005. Prior to 2005, very few private companies were interested in exploration in the East Siberian Region mainly due to the lack of infrastructure and pipelines in the region. All prior exploration work was done by soviet geologists in the past century. In 2004, the Russian government announced, and in 2006, started construction of a pipeline from the East Siberian Region to the Asia-Pacific Region. When completed, the pipeline will allow oil to be transported out of the East Siberian Region to the oil market. Since the construction of the pipeline has started, more international companies have become interested in the government auctions but still hesitate to participate due to the lack of local knowledge and expertise. Since many deposits are ready to be sold and a limited numbers of companies are taking part in these auctions, current prices for licenses are relatively low. We plan to find potential clients interested in Russian oil and gas deposits, prepare due diligence documentation, and assist them in taking part in auctions for oil and gas properties.
Initially, we plan to provide consulting on oil and gas auctions for properties that have a value of between $500,000 to $5,000,000 in the Eastern Siberian Region. Gathering due diligence documentation for smaller properties will be less expensive and will reduce our initial costs. Once we expand our business, we will provide consulting services for auctions that value over $5,000,000. If our business is successful, we intend to hire additional personnel and offer consulting in more auctions in other parts of Russia and the former countries of the Soviet Union.
WHY RUSSIA?
* The largest oil producer in the world.
* The largest proven oil & gas reserves in the world.
* The largest undiscovered oil & gas reserves in the world.
* The largest country geographically in the world.
* One of the fastest growing economies in the world.
* Stable economic & political environment.
The world oil resources are between 200-300 billion tones and the world natural gas resources are between 500-550 trillion cubic meters. Russia is a leader in gas resources with 136 trillion cubic meters; that is equal to approximately 36% of the world resources. Russia is also only second to Saudi Arabia in oil with 20 billion tones of oil that is equal to approximately 13% of world oil resources.
WHY THE EASTERN SIBERIAN REGION?
In the Eastern Siberian Region oil resources are approximately 2.6 billion tones that is equal to approximately 10% of all Russian oil resources. Natural gas resources are 7.5 trillion cubic meters that is equal to approximately 5% of all Russian gas resources. As for today, recoverable oil resources in the East Siberian Region are about 300 million tones that is only about 12% of all estimated resources. Last century, the Soviet government conducted exploration in the East Siberian Region. In that time several big oil & gas deposits have been discovered. Due to the lack of infrastructure, oil production has not been started. The Russian government had two large projects in East Siberia in that time. Since the USSR did not have the resources to implement both projects at the same time, the pipeline project was put off in favor of the construction of the Baikal-Amur Railroad. Only in 2004 did the Russian government decide to start construction of the East Siberia Pacific Ocean Oil Pipeline.
EAST SIBERIA PACIFIC OCEAN OIL PIPELINE (ESPO).
Today Russia has a chance to open the Asian-Pacific oil market. With a pipeline, such an opportunity will become available. That is why in year 2006, Russian government began to build ESPO pipeline. This pipeline will ensure the start of production in existing deposits and also encourage further exploration of new oil & gas deposits in East Siberia. The project was designed in full compliance with the existing legislation of the Russian Federation and with international law. The ESPO pipeline will be over 4,700 kilometers (2,900 miles) in length, and is being built in two stages. In the first stage, a 2,757-kilometer (1,713-mile) section will be built with a capacity of 30 million tons (220.5 million bbl) of oil per year. The project's first leg is estimated to cost $11 billion and will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2009. This stage will link Taishet, in the East Siberian Region, to Skovorodino, in the Amur Region, in Russia's Far East. The second leg will stretch for 2,100 kilometers (1,304 miles) from Skovorodino to the Pacific. It will pump 367.5 million barrels of oil annually. The second stage also envisages an increase in the Taishet-Skovorodino pipeline's capacity to 588 million barrels.
Oil from East Siberia will be exported to China, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Australia and to other countries in Asian-Pacific region. China is ready to provide a grant to Transneft, the general contractor, to build the Chinese part of the pipeline. The Chinese branch of the pipeline will run from the town of Skovorodino on the Russian-Chinese border to the Chinese province of Heilongjiang. Half of all oil from the ESPO pipeline could potentially go to China. As of today, about 2,000 kilometers of the pipeline has been welded into line. The first stage will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2009 and oil from the end of the first state, the town of Skovorodino, will be transferred to Eastern ports by railroad. The second part of the ESPO pipeline will be started in 2013-2015.
AUCTIONS
In 2005 the Russian government began auctioning licenses for oil production and exploration. Only a few companies take part in these auctions and dozens of licenses were sold over the past three years at very low prices. International companies still do not recognize opportunities to bid at government auctions and purchase exploration licenses at the current low prices. As a result, the prices have not yet risen significantly. Final purchase prices usually rise 10%-50% from the minimum-bidding price. There is only one international company, British Petroleum, which conducts exploration in the region and is about to start production. Also some international companies work on oilfields, including Neighbors and Schlumberger.
Below is a list of the government auction that took place during the end of year 2007 and in the beginning of year 2008.
Reserves

By the end of 2008 seven additional licenses will be sold by auction for exploration of Belsky, Rodionovsky, Magistralny, Romashikhinsky, Vostochno-Tetersky, Vodorazdelny, Srednenepsky, Kiysky and Uzhno-Ichersky deposits.
DIFFERENCE IN RESERVES CLASSIFICATION
* Difference exist between Russian and Western Reserves Classification
* SPE probabilistic reserves are booked looking forward for the license
period
* Russian reserves are booked depending on the stage of development over
a number of years
* Russian reserves are most likely to differ materially from SPE
reserves
* Such difference occurs both at exploration and early stages of
development
We may have to convert the data of oil and gas in Russian reports to meet the Western Classification standards.
REVENUE
For gathering and preparation of all documentation prior to auction, we plan to charge our clients a flat fee $30,000. Most of the exploration data is prepared by Russian authorities and is usually released just before the auction. We will attempt to gather all of the information about desired deposit earlier so our clients will have more time to research the properties. If our clients win an auction and receive an exploration license we plan to charge them a 5% fee of the final auction price.
COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENT REGULATION
We are not currently subject to direct federal, state or local regulation and we do not believe that government regulation will have a material impact on the way we conduct our business in Russia and the U.S. as we are not directly involved in oil and gas exploration and provide only consulting services.

STOCK OPTION GRANTS
To date, we have not granted any stock options.
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
We have not granted registration rights to the selling shareholders or to any other persons.
DIVIDENDS
There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:
1. we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual
course of business; or
2. our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities
plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of
shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving
the distribution.
We have not declared any dividends, and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.
PLAN OF OPERATION
Following the date of this registration statement, our business plan is as follows:
Obtain preliminary information on the auctions that will be held at the end of 2008 and the beginning of 2009. Initially, we plan on offering consulting services for auction of properties valued at not more than $5,000,000, since obtaining due diligence documentation for larger properties will cost more than the funds we have on hand. Preliminary information will include basic data such as the names of the properties, their locations and reserves estimates. Since, our President does not have technical experience in the oil and gas industry; we plan to contract a local Russian consultant with experience in oil and gas property evaluation. Our consultant will be responsible for performing due diligence on the properties that are going up for auction. The consultant will be compensated by commissions of a percentage of fees that we will receive from our clients. We expect to pay our consultant 20-30% of the total commission received by us. We will also compensate our consultant for any out of pocket expenses which include but are not limited to: travel expenses, purchase of documents, and costs for attending any conferences or trade shows on our behalf. We estimate the out of pocket expenses will be about $10,000 during the next twelve months.
Once we have identified potential properties of interest and have conducted preliminary due diligence, we plan to approach North American oil and gas exploration companies which are interested in taking part in auctions of Russian oil and gas properties. We plan to execute consulting agreements with them regarding our services. We intend to attend conferences and trade shows to advertise our services. We may also advertise our services in oil and gas magazines. We plan to contract a representative to advertise our services and refer clients to us. We will pay our representative in form of commissions from the clients that they refer to us. We expect to execute at least one consulting agreement in the next twelve months. Advertising expenses are estimated to be about $15,000 in the next twelve months.
Once we have executed consulting agreements with at least one oil and gas company we plan to purchase detailed property agreements of the oil and gas properties going up for auction. The property agreements were created during explorations in the past century by the Soviet Government and are thought to be very reliable. However, our client may want to perform additional due diligence on the properties of interest. We plan to offer them assistance in this process, but will expect them to pay for additional expenses. We will use the expertise of our Russian consultant/geologist to perform this service for our clients. We estimate that these activities will take about three months once we have executed consulting agreement with a potential client and cost about $10,000.
Once our clients have conducted their due diligence and selected the desired property, they will be required to deposit funds with the Russian government to take part in the auction. The initial deposit equals the initial bidding price of the properties. We intend to assist our clients in the bidding process. Once the bid is won by our client, they will receive title to the property and will be required to deposit the balance of the funds within ten days. The entire auction process will take about one month from the date that our client pays the deposit and registers as a participant. We expect that our clients will pay for all expenses associated with the participation in auction. Even though, our consulting services end at that point, we may be involved in arranging the exploration work for an additional fee.
We will incur additional professional expenses including fees in connection with the filing of this registration statement and complying with reporting obligations of approximately $15,000.
Currently we do not have sufficient funds on hand to carry out our business plan. Without additional funding, we expect to continue our operations for the next six to eight months. We expect to fund further operations with a loan from our director or from additional sales of our common stock. Currently we do not have any guarantees that our director will loan funds to us. If we are unable to obtain additional funding, we will be forced to cease operation.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR PERIOD ENDING JUNE 30, 2008
We did not earn any revenues from our incorporation on January 16, 2008 to June 30, 2008. We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $1,283 for the period from our inception on January 16, 2008 to June 30, 2008. These operating expenses were comprised of incorporation expenses of $965 and interest & bank charges of $318.
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to continue with our business plan. For these reasons, there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
We have had no changes in or disagreements with our accountants.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Plethora Resources, Inc.
I have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Plethora Resources, Inc. (An Exploration Stage Company) as of June 30, 2008, and the related statement of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for January 16, 2008 (inception), to June 30, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. 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. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Plethora Resources, Inc., (An Exploration Stage Company) as of June 30, 2008, and the results of its operations and cash flows for January 16, 2008 (inception), to June 30, 2008 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note # 2 to the financial statements, the Company has had no operations and has no established source of revenue. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note # 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

a) BASIS OF PRESENTATION The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.
b) GOING CONCERN The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $1,283 as of June 30, 2008 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business raising substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand and loans from directors and or private placement of common stock.
c) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
d) USE OF ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
e) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION The Company's functional currency and its reporting currency is the United States dollar.
f) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
g) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and 123 (R). To date, the Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.
h) INCOME TAXES Income taxes are accounted for under the assets and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
i) BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER SHARE The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128,"Earnings per Share". SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS excludes all potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
j) FISCAL PERIODS The Company's fiscal year end is June 30.
k) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140", to simplify and make more consistent the accounting for certain financial instruments. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", to permit fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier application allowed. This standard is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities". This statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits for subsequent measurement using either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization and impairment requirements of Statement No. 140. The subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value eliminates the necessity for entities that manage the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities with derivatives to qualify for hedge accounting treatment and eliminates the characterization of declines in fair value as impairments or direct write-downs. SFAS No. 156 is effective for an entity's first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. This adoption of this statement is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.
On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN No. 48"). FIN No. 48 clarifies what criteria must be met prior to recognition of the financial statement benefit of a position taken in a tax return. FIN No. 48 will require companies to include additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures within their financial statements. The disclosures will include potential tax benefits from positions taken for tax return purposes that have not been recognized for financial reporting purposes and a tabular presentation of significant changes during each period. The disclosures will also include a discussion of the nature of uncertainties, factors which could cause a change, and an estimated range of reasonably possible changes in tax uncertainties. FIN No. 48 will also require a company to recognize a financial statement benefit for a position taken for tax return purposes when it will be more-likely-than-not that the position will be sustained. FIN No. 48 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
On September 15, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS No. 157"). SFAS No. 157 addresses how companies should measure fair value when they are required to use a fair value measure for recognition and disclosure purposes under generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS No. 157 will require the fair value of an asset or liability to be based on a market based measure which will reflect the credit risk of the company. SFAS No. 157 will also require expanded disclosure requirements which will include the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measures on earnings. SFAS No. 157 will be applied prospectively and will be effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and to interim periods within those fiscal years. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Statement No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans" ("SFAS 158"). SFAS 158 requires the Company to record the funded status of its defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans in its financial statements. The Company is required to record an asset in its financial statements if a plan is over funded or record a liability in its financial statements if a plan is under funded with a corresponding offset to shareholders' equity. Previously unrecognized assets and liabilities are recorded as a component of shareholders' equity in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of applicable income taxes. SFAS 158 also requires the Company to measure the value of its assets and liabilities as of the end of its fiscal year ending after December 15, 2008. The Company has implemented SFAS 158 using the required prospective method. The recognition provisions of SFAS 158 are effective for the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect its adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2006, the FASB issued FSP EITF 00-19-2, Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements ("FSP 00-19-2") which addresses accounting for registration payment arrangements. FSP 00-19-2 specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument or other agreement, should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. FSP 00-19-2 further clarifies that a financial instrument subject to a registration payment arrangement should be accounted for in accordance with other applicable generally accepted accounting principles without regard to the contingent obligation to transfer consideration pursuant to the registration payment arrangement. For registration payment arrangements and financial instruments subject to those arrangements that were entered into prior to the issuance of EITF 00-19-2, this guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has not yet determined the impact that the adoption of FSP 00-19-2 will have on its financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments, and certain other items, at fair value. SFAS 159 applies to reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 159 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
3. COMMON STOCK
The authorized capital of the Company is 75,000,000 common shares with a par value of $ 0.001 per share.
In April 2008, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.001 per share for total cash proceeds of $3,000. In April 2008, the Company also issued 1,300,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.005 per share for total cash proceeds of $6,500.
In May 2008, the Company also issued 750,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.02 per share for total cash proceeds of $15,000.
During the period January 16, 2008 (inception) to June 30, 2008, the Company sold a total of 5,050,000 shares of common stock for total cash proceeds of $24,500.
4. INCOME TAXES
As of June 30, 2008, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $1,283 that may be available to reduce future years' taxable income through 2028. 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 carry-forwards.
5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Artur Etezov, President and CEO of the Company may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities as they become available, thus they may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and their other business opportunities. The company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.
While the company is seeking additional capital, Mr. Etezov has advanced funds to the company to pay for any costs incurred by it. These funds are interest free. The balance due to Mr. Etezov was $ 990 on June 30, 2008.
6. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
The stockholders' equity section of the Company contains the following classes of capital stock as of June 30, 2008:
Common stock, $0.001 par value: 75,000,000 shares authorized; 5,050,000 shares issued and outstanding.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Our sole officer and director is indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes and our bylaws.
Under the NRS, director immunity from liability to a company or its shareholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically unless it is specifically limited by a company's articles of incorporation; that is not the case with our articles of incorporation. Excepted from that immunity are:
(1) a willful failure to deal fairly with the company or its shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director has a material
conflict of interest; (2) a violation of criminal law (unless the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful); |
(3) a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
profit; and
(4) willful misconduct.
Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Nevada law; provided, however, that we may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with our directors and officers; and, provided, further, that we shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless:
(1) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law;
(2) the proceeding was authorized by our Board of Directors;
(3) such indemnification is provided by us, in our sole discretion,
pursuant to the powers vested us under Nevada law; or
(4) such indemnification is required to be made pursuant to the bylaws.
II-1
Our bylaws provide that we will advance all expenses incurred to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was our director or officer, or is or was serving at our request as a director or executive officer of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request. This advanced of expenses is to be made upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts should it be ultimately determined that the person was not entitled to be indemnified under our bylaws or otherwise.
Our bylaws also provide that no advance shall be made by us to any officer in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made: (a) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding; or (b) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision- making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to our best interests.

THE UNDERSIGNED REGISTRANT HEREBY UNDERTAKES:
1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(a) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(b) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement, or most recent post-effective amendment, which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement; Notwithstanding the forgoing, any increase or decrease in Volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
(c) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

4. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to officers, directors, and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities is asserted our director, officer, or other controlling person in connection with the securities registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit the question of whether such indemnification is against public policy to a court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a Registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430(B) or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by referenced into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

b) Certificated shares of the Corporation shall be signed, either manually or by facsimile, by officers or agents designated by the Corporation for such purposes, and shall certify the number of shares owned by the shareholder in the Corporation. Whenever any certificate is countersigned or otherwise authenticated by a transfer agent or transfer clerk, and by a registrar, then a facsimile of the signatures of the officers or agents, the transfer agent or transfer clerk or the registrar of the Corporation may be printed or lithographed upon the certificate in lieu of the actual signatures. If the Corporation uses facsimile signatures of its officers and agents on its stock certificates, it cannot act as registrar of its own stock, but its transfer agent and registrar may be identical if the institution acting in those dual capacities countersigns or otherwise authenticates any stock certificates in both capacities. If any officer who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon such certificate, shall have ceased to be such officer before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he were such officer at the date of its issue.
c) If the Corporation issued uncertificated shares as provided for in these Bylaws, within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of such uncertificated shares, and at least annually thereafter, the Corporation shall send the shareholder a written statement certifying the number of shares owned by such shareholder in the Corporation.
d) Except as otherwise provided by law, the rights and obligations of the holders of uncertificated shares and the rights and obligations of the holders of certificates representing shares of the same class and series shall be identical.
e) If a share certificate:
(i) is worn out or defaced, the Directors shall, upon production to them of the certificate and upon such other terms, if any, as they may think fit, order the certificate to be cancelled and issue a new certificate;
(ii) is lost, stolen or destroyed, then upon proof being given to the satisfaction of the Directors and upon and indemnity, if any being given, as the Directors think adequate, the Directors shall issue a new certificate; or
(iii)represents more than one share and the registered owner surrenders it to the Corporation with a written request that the Corporation issue in his or her name two or more certificates, each representing a specified number of shares and in the aggregate representing the same number of shares as the certificate so surrendered, the Corporation shall cancel the certificate so surrendered and issue new certificates in accordance with such request.
SECTION 2 - TRANSFERS OF SHARES
a) Transfers or registration of transfers of shares of the Corporation shall be made on the stock transfer books of the Corporation by the registered holder thereof, or by his or her attorney duly authorized by a written power of attorney; and in the case of shares represented by certificates, only after the surrender to the Corporation of the certificates representing such shares with such shares properly endorsed, with such evidence of the authenticity of such endorsement, transfer, authorization and other matters as the Corporation may reasonably require, and the payment of all stock transfer taxes due thereon.
b) The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or shares as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any legal, equitable or other claim to, or interest in, such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise expressly provided by law.
SECTION 3 - RECORD DATE
a) The Directors may fix in advance a date, which must not be more than 60 days permitted by the preceding the date of a meeting of shareholders or a class of shareholders, or of the payment of a dividend or of the proposed taking of any other proper action requiring the determination of shareholders as the record date for the determination of the shareholders entitled to notice of, or to attend and vote at, a meeting and an adjournment of the meeting, or entitled to receive payment of a dividend or for any other proper purpose and, in such case, notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws, only shareholders of records on the date so fixed will be deemed to be the shareholders for the purposes of this Bylaw.
b) Where no record date is so fixed for the determination of shareholders as provided in the preceding Bylaw, the date on which the notice is mailed or on which the resolution declaring the dividend is adopted, as the case may be, is the record date for such determination.

Notwithstanding anything else in these Bylaws, the Corporation, if the Directors so resolve, will not be required to issue fractional shares in connection with an amalgamation, consolidation, exchange or conversion. At the discretion of the Directors, fractional interests in shares may be rounded to the nearest whole number, with fractions of 1/2 being rounded to the next highest whole number, or may be purchased for cancellation by the Corporation for such consideration as the Directors determine. The Directors may determine the manner in which fractional interests in shares are to be transferred and delivered to the Corporation in exchange for consideration and a determination so made is binding upon all shareholders of the Corporation. In case shareholders having fractional interests in shares fail to deliver them to the Corporation in accordance with a determination made by the Directors, the Corporation may deposit with the Corporation's Registrar and Transfer Agent a sum sufficient to pay the consideration payable by the Corporation for the fractional interests in shares, such deposit to be set aside in trust for such shareholders. Such setting aside is deemed to be payment to such shareholders for the fractional interests in shares not so delivered which will thereupon not be considered as outstanding and such shareholders will not be considered to be shareholders of the Corporation with respect thereto and will have no right except to receive payment of the money so set aside and deposited upon delivery of the certificates for the shares held prior to the amalgamation, consolidation, exchange or conversion which result in fractional interests in shares.

(ii) issue bonds, debentures and other debt obligations either outright or as security for liability or obligation of the Corporation or another person, and
(iii)mortgage, charge, whether by way of specific or floating charge, and give other security on the undertaking, or on the whole or a part of the property and assets of the Corporation (both present and future).
b) A bond, debenture or other debt obligation of the Corporation may be issued at a discount, premium or otherwise, and with a special privilege as to redemption, surrender, drawing, allotment of or conversion into or exchange for shares or other securities, attending and voting at shareholder meetings of the Corporation, appointment of Directors or otherwise, and may by its terms be assignable free from equities between the Corporation and the person to whom it was issued or a subsequent holder thereof, all as the Directors may determine.

The Articles of Incorporation and corporate registration fees were submitted to the Nevada Secretary of State's office and filed with the office on January 16, 2008. The Company's existence and form is valid and legal pursuant to Nevada law.
2. The Company is a fully and duly incorporated Nevada corporate entity. The Company has one class of Common Stock at this time.

The Common Stock previously issued by the Company is in legal form and in compliance with the laws of the State of Nevada, its Constitution and reported judicial decisions interpreting those laws and when such stock was issued it was duly authorized, fully paid for and non-assessable.
3. To our knowledge, the Company is not a party to any legal proceedings nor are there any judgments against the Company, nor are there any actions or suits filed or threatened against it or its officers and directors, in their capacities as such, other than as set forth in the registration statement. We know of no disputes involving the Company and the Company has no claim, actions or inquires from any federal, state or other government agency, other than as set forth in the registration statement. We know of no claims against the Company or any reputed claims against it at this time, other than as set forth in the registration statement.

We consent to filing this opinion as an exhibit to the Company's Form S-1 registration statement.
