General Overview We were incorporated in the State of Nevada, USA, on January 28, 2003. We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition, and exploration of mineral properties with a view to exploiting any mineral deposits we discover that demonstrate economic feasibility. On April 10, 2003, we acquired the Humming Bird Property located in British Columbia from Ashworth Explorations Ltd. We acquired a total of three mineral claims located in the Vancouver Mining Division of British Columbia that have the potential to contain copper, silver and gold mineralization or deposits. Under the new claim ownership system in British Columbia, the property has now been reduced and converted into one claim that totals 15 cells and covers an area of 311 hectares. A cell is a subunit of a claim and measures approximately 20 hectares. In order to acquire a 100% interest in these claims, we paid $3,450 to Ashworth Explorations Ltd. In 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 we retained an agent, David Heyman of Vancouver, British Columbia, to re-stake the property and hold it in trust for us. In 2006, we reduced the size of the property so that it only covers areas upon which we have discovered mineralization in our initial exploration program. On September 12, 2008, Lorne Lilley resigned as treasurer, secretary and a director of our company and Christian Brule resigned as president of our company. As a result of these resignations, George Polyhronopolous and Joseph B. Guerrero were elected directors of our company. On the same date Mr. Polyhronopolous was appointed secretary and treasurer of our company and Mr. Guerrero was elected president. Our board of directors now consists of Christian Brule, George Polyhronopolous and Joseph Guerrero. On September 16, 2008, our board of directors approved a one (1) old for five (5) new forward stock split of our authorized and issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The certificate of change was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on September 23, 2008, effective October 7, 2008. Following the stock spilt our authorized capital has increased from 75,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 to 375,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. We have issued five (5) shares of common stock in exchange for every one (1) share of common stock issued and outstanding. 4 On October 31, 2008, we entered into an agreement with General Metals Corporation (OTCBB:GNMT) for the acquisition of its 100% owned Nyinahin Mining Concession located in Ghana, West Africa. The consideration for the acquisition is to consist of $500,000 in cash, which shall be payable as follows: (i) $50,000 which is to be provided within 5 days of the effective date of the agreement with General Metals, (ii) $200,000 which is to be provided by December 31, 2008, and (iii) the balance of $250,000 which is to be provided by April 30, 2009; and 2,000,000 restricted shares of common stock of our company, issued at a fair value of $0.25 per share. On October 31, 2008, we provided a partial payment of $12,500 due on the principal payment as noted under the agreement for the acquisition of the Nyinahin Mining. This $12,500 payment is to be credited towards the payment due to General Metals Corporation on April 30, 2009. On December 5, 2008, we amended the agreement with General Metals Corporation to allow for the initial $250,000 payment to be made on or before December 31, 2008 with the remainder of the $250,000 payment to be payable on or before April 30, 2009. As of December 31, 2008, we issued 2,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock to General Metals Corporation at a fair price of $0.25 per share as noted in the description of the agreement above. A shareholder of our company, Global Partners LLC, agreed to settle the initial payment of $250,000 to General Metals Corporation. As a result of this, we entered into a promissory note with Global Capital Partners LLC on December 30, 2008, wherein we agreed to pay the principal amount of $250,000 including interest at a rate of 8% per annum by December 31, 2009. As a result, we are in compliance with the terms of the acquisition agreement for the Nyinahin Mining Concession. Effective October 1, 2008, we entered into a management agreement with Joseph B. Guerrero, our President and director. We pay remuneration for his services at a rate of one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500) per month. The agreement is for a term of one year and will continue thereafter on a month to month basis unless terminated. Effective October 1, 2008, we entered into a management agreement with George Polyhronopolous, our Secretary, Treasurer and director. We pay remuneration for his services at a rate of one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500) per month. The agreement is for a term of one year and will continue thereafter on a month to month basis unless terminated. Effective October 1, 2008, we entered into a director fee agreement with Christian Brule, a director of our company. We pay directors fees at a rate of one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500) per month. The agreement is for a term of one year and will continue thereafter on a month to month basis unless terminated. On March 23, 2009, we entered into a consulting agreement with Mark Iacono. The consulting agreement is for a term of one year and is effective as of the 1st day of March, 2009. Pursuant to the terms of the consulting agreement we agreed to issue 500,000 restricted shares of our common stock to Mr. Iacono and to reimburse him for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. Management has determined that, given the status of our company and the nature of our mineral properties as of December 31, 2008, our company has ceased to be a shell company as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Please refer to the other information contained in this annual report for a detailed description of the development and business of our company and our properties and exploration program. For additional information, including information relating to the description of the common stock of our company, refer to our Amended Registration Statement on Form SB-2 filed with the SEC on November 20, 2006. Our Current Business We are an exploration stage mining company engaged in the exploration of minerals on properties located in British Columbia and Ghana, West Africa. 5 Our current operational focus is to conduct exploration activities on our Humming Bird Property and to complete the terms of the acquisition agreement with General Metals Corporation for the acquisition of the Nyinahin Mining Concession. Humming Bird Property Description, Location and Access The Hummingbird property is located in the Vancouver Mining Division approximately 25 kilometers north-northeast of Powell River, British Columbia and 100 kilometers northwest of the city of Vancouver. The property lies on the northwest part of Goat Island, which is located in Powell Lake. Access to the claim is by road from Vancouver to the town of Powell River. From Powell River, the property can be reached by boat or helicopter. One logging road exists on the Hummingbird property that extends to within 200 meters of the principal exploration areas. For approximately $3,500, we should be able to extend this road directly to the areas of the claim that are most prospective. This extension would also be adequate for any future advanced exploration and development purposes, if warranted. We will only extend the road when it is necessary for the drilling phase of exploration. A northeast trending ridge occupies the central part of the property. The northwest slopes dip steeply into Powell Lake. The southeast slopes are moderate to steep, leading into a U-shaped valley. Clover Lake, which covers approximately 28 hectares, is within this valley in the southwest part of the property. Elevations vary from 183 feet at Powell Lake to 2,249 feet on the main ridge, giving a total relief of 2,066 feet. Exploration History To date, no mineral deposit has been delineated on the Hummingbird property. Consequently there has been no significant commercial production from the property or any reserve or resource calculated. No officer or director of our company has visited the property. We do not have a geologist or mining engineers report on the property. All of the following information regarding past exploration on the property, other than exploration that Mr. Clive Ashworth has conducted on our behalf, is taken from public records kept by the British Columbia Mineral Titles Branch at its offices in Vancouver, British Columbia. Any person may review these records by attending the Mineral Titles Branchs office in person. Prior to 1928, all exploration work on the Hummingbird property focused on the central portion of the claim. A trench was blasted in the area that led to the discovery of significant chalcopyrite, a rock type often found with copper. Approximately 140 tons were mined from this area grading 8% to 11% copper, 7 to 20 ounces per ton (opt) silver and 0.03 opt gold. The 140 tons of material mined and shipped to a smelter were probably hand sorted, and likely represent the highest-grade parts of a much larger amount of mined material. In 1929, a tunnel was driven into a rock bluff for 40 meters, approximately 25 vertical meters below the surface exposures. This resulted in the additional discovery of rock mineralized with chalcopyrite. Metal content figures were not reported. The property was virtually dormant until 1983 when Corinth Resources Ltd. performed rock/soil geochemical analysis and magnetometer surveys over the property surface. Geochemical analysis consists of a geologist and his assistant gathering grab samples with the most potential to host economically significant mineralization based on their observation of any surface rocks. Grab samples are soil samples or pieces of rock that appear to contain precious metals such as gold and silver, or industrial metals such as copper. All samples gathered are sent to a laboratory where they are crushed and analyzed for metal content. 6 The magnetometer survey was used to measure the strength of the earths magnetic field. Variations in the magnetic readings on the property may indicate the increased likelihood of precious or base minerals in the area. In this instance, the survey resulted in the discovery of a 50 meter long zone with higher than average magnetic rock. In March 1998, geologist Fayz Yacoub and an assistant conducting additional rock sampling in the central area of the property. The purpose of the work was to resample the known areas of mineralization on the Hummingbird property to evaluate their economic potential and to determine an approach for additional exploration. Ten rock samples were collected and analysed for gold, silver and copper. This work confirmed the potential economic grade values of copper and silver, along with a small amount of gold, over significant widths of the property. However, the continuity of this mineralization has yet to be tested. In October 2003, we retained Clive Ashworth, a mineral prospector, to complete an initial review of the Hummingbird property. As a full time, self-employed, mineral prospector, he is retained as a consultant to review mineral properties to determine whether they may contain valuable mineralization. He specifically searches for rock types on property surfaces that are commonly associated with mineralization. Mr. Ashworth is not a geologist and has no specific training or credentials in mineral exploration. Mr. Ashworth did not prepare any written report in connection with his property review. Due to poor weather conditions and the time restraints imposed by the water taxi that transported Mr. Ashworth, our consultant, to the property, limited work was conducted. The establishment of a grid was commenced on the property and five grab samples were collected. Grid emplacement involves dividing a portion of the property being explored into small sections. Results from exploration are recorded according to the area of the grid that was explored. Grab samples are soil samples or pieces of rock that appear to contain precious metals such as gold and silver, or industrial metals such as copper and nickel. All samples gathered were sent to a laboratory where they were crushed and analysed for metal content. Significant levels of copper were discovered, but silver and gold levels were not anomalous. All exploration, soil and rock sampling and surveys described in this section were conducted on the area covered by the claim that currently comprises the Hummingbird property. Future Exploration Based upon previous work conducted on the Hummingbird property, we intend to continue exploration on the claim to test the identified mineralized area in the center of the property, and to evaluate the potential of the remainder of the claim area. In order to accomplish this, we intend to complete an additional exploration program on the Hummingbird property consisting of grid establishment over a 15-kilometer area, line cutting, soil sampling and mapping. Line cutting involves removing bush from the property in order to produce straight clearings. This provides grid boundaries for exploration work. Typically, the area being explored is divided into small sections. Results are recorded based on the area of the grid upon which exploration is being conducted. Mapping involves recording previous exploration data on the property based on the grid area upon which the exploration was conducted. Soil sampling involves gathering dirt from property areas with the most potential to host economically significant mineralization based on past exploration results. Samples are gathered that appear to contain precious metals such as gold and silver, or industrial metals such as copper. All samples gathered are sent to a laboratory where they are crushed and analyzed for metal content. 7 Once we obtain results from our planned exploration program, we intend to conduct magnetometer and VLF-EM surveys over the grid area. A magnetometer survey involves measuring the strength of the earths magnetic field. Variations in the magnetic readings on the property may indicate the increased likelihood of precious or base minerals in the area. VLF-EM surveys consist of two separate surveys: the very low frequency (VLF) survey and the electromagnetic survey. Very low frequency surveys use radio waves to determine whether rocks on a mineral property conduct electricity. Electromagnetic surveys use electricity and magnets to determine conductivity. Almost all of the precious and base metals that the Company seeks are above average conductors of electricity and will affect the VLF and electromagnetic readings. Electromagnetic surveys involve measuring the strength of the earths magnetic field. Variations in the magnetic readings on a property may indicate the increased likelihood of precious or base minerals in the area. We completed an initial phase of exploration on the property in January 2004 at a cost of $3,500. Our follow-up exploration program at a time to be determined will involve completing geophysical surveys on the Hummingbird property. We expect this will cost about an additional $7,500. A follow-up drill program will cost an estimated $75,000. We will proceed to drilling if we determine that additional work is warranted based upon the results of the soil sampling phase of the work program and geophysical survey readings over these mineralized areas. We will make a decision whether to proceed with each successive phase of the exploration program upon completion of the previous phase and upon our analysis of the results that program. At the completion of each phase, we will retain a consulting geologist who will review the results of exploration with our board of directors. Based upon their review, our directors will then determine whether to proceed to the next phase of exploration. Upon the completion of these preliminary exploration programs, we will need to spend extensive amounts of money and time on additional exploration before we are able to determine whether the Hummingbird property contains economic quantities of mineralization. Our recoverability of minerals from the Hummingbird property will be subject to the confirmation of our interest in the underlying claim. Such confirmation is required because the staking of mineral claims can be subject to deficiencies, including failure to comply with staking rules, failures to conduct required assessment work or fraud. Usually, at a stage where a company discovers economically recoverable reserves, title searches and legal opinions are required to confirm the interest in the claim. Nyinahin Mining Concession The 150 square kilometer Nyinahin mining concession is located between two geological gold belts, the Bibiani Belt to the west and the Asankrangwa to the east. The license allows for the exploration and mining of gold, silver, base metals and diamonds. About 80% of the Nyinahin Concession lies to the west of the Offin River within the Ashanti Region of Ghana. There are several historical pits and adits with a strong clustering of artisan pits located along the Offin River. Three old gold prospects exist on the concession. The property is accessed via the main Kumasi-Bibiani trunk road. It falls under the jurisdiction of the Atwima Mponua District Assembly with headquarters at Nyinahin. The Nyinahin Mining Concession is comprised of the Nyinahin Mineral Licence LVB 8936/05 and Land Registry No. 1535/2005, and subsequently converted into a Full Prospecting License (LVB 3857/08). The Concession is situated 20km northeast of Bibiani and about 48km Southwest of Kumasi. The concession which covers an approximate area of 172 sq. km. has been reduced to 150 sq. km to conform to statutory requirements regarding the maximum size for Prospecting Licenses by the Minerals Commission. There are numerous forms in which gold occurs in the Birimian system of Ghana. Current field work coupled with other geological report suggest that the Nyinahin concession greatly point to mineralization related to shear system within metasedimentary environment as exhibited at the Bibiani mines of the Ashanti Goldfield Corporation Ltd. Other forms of mineralization include that exhibited on the Ntibia mines i.e. mineralization associated with granites within intrabasinal environments. The structures on the concession have resemblance to intrabasinal faults represented by the Asankrangwa Fault in the Kumasi basin and the Yamfo trend in the Sunyani basin. 8 Current Exploration Stream Sediments Stream sediment sampling was carried out to cover the whole concession. Conventional stream sediment samples (fig. 4) were collected from mostly 1st and 2nd order streams. The main objective of the programme was to identify gold-anomalous areas for further work. The sampling was done at a density of 2 samples per square kilometre. A total of 116 stream sediment samples were collected. Pan Concentrate sampling was carried out at some few places. Geological Mapping Geological mapping was carried out along side the stream sediment sampling. At each sample location, geological observations were made and the co-ordinate determined using the GPS. A total of 10 grab samples including quartz veins (Photo 1) were taken. The outcrops, together with other geological information based on previous work enabled a geological map as in figure 3 above, to be produced. Most of the outcrops encountered are graphitic Phyllite. GPS Readings GPS reading using a Garmin 12XL standardised with the Universal Transverse Mercator Zone 30, Northern Hemisphere (WGS84), was used to obtain co-ordinates for each sample point. Summary of work done to date: Full Technical Report Available Mapping Geological Mapping 172 sq. km Sampling Soil Samples Stream Sediment samples 116 Trench/Pit Samples Grab samples taken 10 Anthill - Total 126 Assay Assay Low Level (stream) Routine Analysis (grab) 116 Proposed Work Program The Company has designed a four-phased exploration program, with cost estimate for the License as detailed below: The Company is committed in spending a total of US$286,000 over a two year period depending on the type and size of any deposit to be discovered. This estimate includes a 10% contingency cost. Phases II and III is contingent upon a favorable results from earlier phases. Phases I and II (Duration 12 months -end of first year) Proposed Exploration ♦ Geological Mapping ♦ Line Cutting ♦ Geochemical Soil Sampling ♦ Trenching ♦ Pitting ♦ Geophysical Investigation 9 • The Fieldwork will begin with preliminary geological mapping and documentation to confirm the general structures and formations. A review of work done during the reconnaissance licence period will also be carried out. Line cutting will be carried out on known mineralized zones identified within the concession at initial grid spacing of 800m. This will be in-filled with lines spaced at 400m and 200m over selected grounds. It is expected that about 100km of lines will be cut in all. Geochemical soil-sampling program will be conducted at an initial interval of 400 and in-filled at 100m and 50m along the grid lines. Trenching, the most cost effective exploration method available in locating significant in-situ mineralization will be employed. Preliminary trenching based on results of the geochemical soil sampling will be carried out. An estimated 800m of trenches will be excavated. Pitting will be carried out at some soil location points along the proposed mineralized trend where trenching is not merited. Areas without significant gold values along the mineralized trend will also be pitted to check the possibility of transported materials. Geophysical methods (VLF-EM/SP) will be used to identify mineralized zones/anomalies within the concession area. Other work to be tackled are clarification of the general forms of the mineral deposits (or anomalies), the size of the main ore bodies, their quality, mineralogy and technical problems which will generally assist in the evaluation of the deposit. Finally, other geological works will be carried out if considered necessary. It is hoped that any geophysical work already conducted in the area by the Geological Survey will help in the interpretation of the structural problems. At the end of this phase, an internal report will be prepared. The report will form the basis of the Annual Report and on which the detailed prospecting phase will be projected and carried out as the next phase of the project. Phase III (Duration up to 6 months - beginning of second year) Detailed Prospecting ♦ Geochemical Investigations ♦ Trenching and Pitting ♦ Structural Geological Mapping ♦ Assay ♦ Survey work • Geochemical samples will be taken along the geophysical traverses and analyzed to cross check any prospects/anomalies picked up by the geophysics. All the geochemical anomalies recorded will be prioritized. Detailed soil sampling at a closer grid system of 200 X 50m, and 100 X 25m will be undertaken when it becomes necessary. Trenching, pitting, sampling and structural geological mapping will be tightened up. Any other geological work deemed necessary would also be carried out. Assaying of all samples will be carried out locally in the first instance. Some external cross checking of the assay values will also be made as and when appropriate. Survey work all work from this stage will be performed on a surveyed grid system. All trench locations from the previous phase and the subsequent ones will be surveyed and put on plan and sections. This will enable a more effective picture of the prospecting work to be viewed and interpreted. Mineralogical and petrographical studies will be carried out. A report will be prepared at the end of the period. This will involve project appraisal and projections for the next phase of the prospecting program. Phase IV (Duration up to 6 months - end of second year) Target Delineation and Resource Estimation ♦ Trenching, Pitting and Sampling ♦ RC Drilling (1000m) ♦ Other Detailed Geological Work ♦ Geological Report. • Work will be concentrated in areas, which have shown positive results during the previous phases and carried out according to the importance of the results. Area(s), which could be mined first, will be prospected in more detail. The aim will be to accurately define the geological structure, forms, attitude of the ore bodies or the ore deposit. Trenching will continue at an aggressive rate and at closer grid spacing than before. Sampling, survey work and structural geological mapping of all exploration work will be carried out. 10 RC drilling of the gold deposit for resource estimation will be carried out. It is estimated that about 800m of RC drilling will be carried out. Assay of all samples will be done locally and externally as and when necessary. Resource Estimation based on trench and RC drilling will be carried out Reserves estimation will be attempted at this stage to determine the extent of the economic mineral potential of the concession area. COST ESTIMATES Competition We are a mineral resource exploration company. We compete with other mineral resource exploration companies for financing and for the acquisition of new mineral properties. Many of the mineral resource exploration companies with whom we compete have greater financial and technical resources than those available to us. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquisitions of mineral properties of merit, on exploration of their mineral properties and on development of their mineral properties. In addition, they may be able to afford more geological expertise in the targeting and exploration of mineral properties. This competition could result in competitors having mineral properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may finance additional exploration. This competition could adversely impact on our ability to finance further exploration and to achieve the financing necessary for us to develop our mineral p
roperties. 11 Compliance with Government Regulation We are committed to complying with and are, to our knowledge, in compliance with, all governmental and environmental regulations applicable to our company and our properties. Permits from a variety of regulatory authorities are required for many aspects of mine operation and reclamation. We cannot predict the extent to which these requirements will affect our company or our properties if we identify the existence of minerals in commercially exploitable quantities. In addition, future legislation and regulation could cause additional expense, capital expenditure, restrictions and delays in the exploration of our properties. Research and Development Expenditures We have incurred $Nil in research and development expenditures over the last fiscal year. Employees Currently, we do not have any employees. Our directors and certain contracted individuals play an important role in the running of our company. We do not expect any material changes in the number of employees over the next 12 month period. We do and will continue to outsource contract employment as needed. We engage contractors from time to time to consult with us on specific corporate affairs or to perform specific tasks in connection with our exploration programs. Subsidiaries We do not have any subsidiaries. Intellectual Property We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patent or trademark. Item 1A. Risk Factors Our business operations are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to those set forth below: Risks Associated With Mining Our properties are in the pre-exploration stage. There is no assurance that we can establish the existence of any mineral resource on our properties in commercially exploitable quantities. Until we can do so, we cannot earn any revenues from operations and if we do not do so we will lose all of the funds that we expend on exploration. If we do not discover any mineral resource in a commercially exploitable quantity, our business could fail. Despite pre-exploration work on our mineral properties, we have not established that they contain any mineral reserve, nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to do so. If we do not, our business could fail. A mineral reserve is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in its Industry Guide 7 (which can be viewed over the Internet at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/forms/industry.htm#secguide7) as that part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. The probability of an individual prospect ever having a "reserve" that meets the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Industry Guide 7 is extremely remote; in all probability our mineral resource property does not contain any 'reserve' and any funds that we spend on exploration will probably be lost. 12 Even if we do eventually discover a mineral reserve on one of our properties, there can be no assurance that we will be able to develop our properties into producing mines and extract those resources. Both mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. The commercial viability of an established mineral deposit will depend on a number of factors including, by way of example, the size, grade and other attributes of the mineral deposit, the proximity of the resource to infrastructure such as a smelter, roads and a point for shipping, government regulation and market prices. Most of these factors will be beyond our control, and any of them could increase costs and make extraction of any identified mineral resource unprofitable. Mineral operations are subject to applicable law and government regulation. Even if we discover a mineral resource in a commercially exploitable quantity, these laws and regulations could restrict or prohibit the exploitation of that mineral resource. If we cannot exploit any mineral resource that we might discover on our properties, our business may fail. Both mineral exploration and extraction require permits from various foreign, federal, state, provincial and local governmental authorities and are governed by laws and regulations, including those with respect to prospecting, mine development, mineral production, transport, export, taxation, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain any of the permits required for the continued exploration of our mineral property or for the construction and operation of a mine on our property at economically viable costs. If we cannot accomplish these objectives, our business could fail. We believe that we are in compliance with all material laws and regulations that currently apply to our activities but there can be no assurance that we can continue to remain in compliance. Current laws and regulations could be amended and we might not be able to comply with them, as amended. Further, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain all permits necessary for our future operations, or that we will be able to obtain them on reasonable terms. To the extent such approvals are required and are not obtained, we may be delayed or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of our mineral properties. If we establish the existence of a mineral resource on one of our properties in a commercially exploitable quantity, we will require additional capital in order to develop the property into a producing mine. If we cannot raise this additional capital, we will not be able to exploit the resource, and our business could fail. If we do discover mineral resources in commercially exploitable quantities on our property, we will be required to expend substantial sums of money to establish the extent of the resource, develop processes to extract it and develop extraction and processing facilities and infrastructure. Although we may derive substantial benefits from the discovery of a major deposit, there can be no assurance that such a resource will be large enough to justify commercial operations, nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to raise the funds required for development on a timely basis. If we cannot raise the necessary capital or complete the necessary facilities and infrastructure, our business may fail. Mineral exploration and development is subject to extraordinary operating risks. We do not currently insure against these risks. In the event of a cave-in or similar occurrence, our liability may exceed our resources, which would have an adverse impact on our company. Mineral exploration, development and production involves many risks which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Our operations will be subject to all the hazards and risks inherent in the exploration for mineral resources and, if we discover a mineral resource in commercially exploitable quantity, our operations could be subject to all of the hazards and risks inherent in the development and production of resources, including liability for pollution, cave-ins or similar hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. Any such event could result in work stoppages and damage to property, including damage to the environment. We do not currently maintain any insurance coverage against these operating hazards. The payment of any liabilities that arise from any such occurrence would have a material adverse impact on our company. 13 Mineral prices are subject to dramatic and unpredictable fluctuations. We expect to derive revenues, if any, either from the sale of our mineral resource property or from the extraction and sale of precious and base metals. The price of those commodities has fluctuated widely in recent years, and is affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including international, economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates, global or regional consumptive patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to new extraction developments and improved extraction and production methods. The effect of these factors on the price of base and precious metals, and therefore the economic viability of any of our exploration properties and projects, cannot accurately be predicted. The mining industry is highly competitive and there is no assurance that we will continue to be successful in acquiring mineral claims. If we cannot continue to acquire properties to explore for mineral resources, we may be required to reduce or cease operations. The mineral exploration, development, and production industry is largely un-integrated. We compete with other exploration companies looking for mineral resource properties. While we compete with other exploration companies in the effort to locate and acquire mineral resource properties, we will not compete with them for the removal or sales of mineral products from our properties if we should eventually discover the presence of them in quantities sufficient to make production economically feasible. Readily available markets exist worldwide for the sale of mineral products. Therefore, we will likely be able to sell any mineral products that we identify and produce. In identifying and acquiring mineral resource properties, we compete with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities. This competition could adversely affect our ability to acquire suitable prospects for exploration in the future. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will acquire any interest in additional mineral resource properties that might yield reserves or result in commercial mining operations. Risks Related To Our Company We have a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects. We have been in the business of exploring mineral resource properties since 2003 and we have not yet located any mineral reserve. As a result, we have never had any revenues from our operations. In addition, our operating history has been restricted to the acquisition and exploration of our mineral properties and this does not provide a meaningful basis for an evaluation of our prospects if we ever determine that we have a mineral reserve and commence the construction and operation of a mine. We have no way to evaluate the likelihood of whether our mineral property contains any mineral reserve or, if it does that we will be able to build or operate a mine successfully. We anticipate that we will continue to incur operating costs without realizing any revenues during the period when we are exploring our properties. We therefore expect to continue to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant
revenues from mining operations and any disposition of our property, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations. At this early stage of our operation, we also expect to face the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies at the start up stage of their business development. We cannot be sure that we will be successful in addressing these risks and uncertainties and our failure to do so could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful and we can provide investors with no assurance that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. The fact that we have not earned any operating revenues since our incorporation raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue to explore our mineral properties as a going concern. We have not generated any revenue from operations since our incorporation and we anticipate that we will continue to incur operating expenses without revenues unless and until we are able to identify a mineral resource in a commercially exploitable quantity on our mineral property and build and operate a mine. We had cash in the amount of $648as of December 31, 2008. At December 31, 2008, we had a working capital deficit of $371,314. We incurred a net loss of $98,445 for our year ended December 31, 2008 and $291,062 since inception. We will have to raise additional funds to meet our currently budgeted operating requirements for the next 12 months. As we cannot assure a lender that we will be able to successfully explore and develop our mineral property, we will probably find it difficult to raise debt financing from traditional lending sources. We have traditionally raised our operating capital from sales of equity and debt securities, but there can be
no assurance that we will continue to be able to do so. If we cannot raise the money that we need to continue exploration of our mineral property, we may be forced to delay, scale back, or eliminate our exploration activities. If any of these were to occur, there is a substantial risk that our business would fail. 14 These circumstances lead our independent registered public accounting firm, in their report dated April 7, 2009, to comment about our companys ability to continue as a going concern. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement of our capital stock. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our companys ability to continue as a going concern. Although there are no assurances that managements plans will be realized, management believes that our company will be able to continue operations in the future. Risks Associated with Our Common Stock Trading on the OTC Bulletin Board may be volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common stock and make it difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares. Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board service of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Trading in stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like NASDAQ or a stock exchange like Amex. Accordingly, shareholders may have difficulty reselling any of their shares. Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SECs penny stock regulations and FINRAs sales practice requirements, which may limit a stockholders ability to buy and sell our stock. Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. The term accredited investor refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC whic
h provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customers account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customers confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchasers written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requireme
nts may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in, and limit the marketability of, our common stock. In addition to the penny stock rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customers financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock
, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock. 15 Other Risks Trends, Risks and Uncertainties We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock. Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments None. Item 2.

Equity Compensation Plan Information We currently do not have any stock option or equity compensation plans or arrangements. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities; Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities Other than as set out below, we did not sell any equity securities which were not registered under the Securities Act during the year ended December 31, 2008 that were not otherwise disclosed on our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or our current reports on Form 8-K filed during the year ended December 31, 2008. As of December 31, 2008, we issued 2,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock to General Metals Corporation at a fair price of $0.25 per share as required under mining acquisition agreement. On March 23, 2009, we issued 500,000 restricted shares of our common stock to Mr. Mark J. Iacono in accordance with the terms of his consulting agreement. Mr. Iacono is a U.S. person (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933) and the shares were issued in reliance upon Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933. 17 As at December 31, 2008, we had received $5,000 in respect of a subscription for 20,000 units at $0.25 per unit. Each unit consists of a common share and one common share purchase warrant entitling the holder to purchase an additional common share at $0.25 for a period of 24 months from the date of closing of the offering. These shares have not yet been issued. Subsequent to December 31, 2008, we received $31,700 in respect of share subscriptions for 126,800 units at $0.25 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional common share $0.25 per share for a period of 24 months from the date of the closing of offering. These shares have not yet been issued. Purchase of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers We did not purchase any of our shares of common stock or other securities during our fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. Item 6. Selected Financial Data As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item. Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this annual report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this annual report, particularly in the section entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 12 of this annual report. Our audited financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. 18 Results of Operations for our Years Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 Results of Operations Year Ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 Expenses Our operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 are outlined in the table below: 19 Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008, increased by 78.66% as compared to the comparative period in 2007 primarily as a result of an increase in accounting and audit fees, an increase in legal fees and an increase in management fees. Revenue We did not earn any revenues during the year ended December 31, 2008. We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we have entered into commercial production on the Hummingbird property. We have not commenced the exploration stage of our business and can provide no assurance that we will discover economic mineralization on the property, or if such minerals are discovered, that we will enter into commercial production. Equity Compensation We currently do not have any stock option or equity compensation plans or arrangements. Liquidity and Financial Condition 20 On October 10 2008, we issued 600,000 units at a purchase price of $0.25 per unit for gross proceeds of $150,000 to three subscribers. Each unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $0.25 per share for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance. An aggregate of 400,000 units were issued to two U.S. persons (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933) relying upon Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933 and 200,000 units were issued to one non-U.S. person (as that term is defined in Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933) relying on the exemption from registration provided by Regulation S and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. As at December 31, 2008, we had received $5,000 in respect of a subscription for 20,000 units at $0.25 per unit. Each unit consists of a common share and one common share purchase warrant entitling the holder to purchase an additional common share at $0.25 for a period of 24 months from the date of closing of the offering. These shares have not yet been issued. Subsequent to December 31, 2008, we received $31,700 in respect of share subscriptions for 126,800 units at $0.25 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional common share $0.25 per share for a period of 24 months from the date of the closing of offering. These shares have not yet been issued. Contractual Obligations As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations. Going Concern We anticipate that additional funding will be required in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. At this time, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock or through a loan from our directors to meet our obligations over the next twelve months. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future debt or equity financing. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders. Critical Accounting Policies The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by managements application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financial statements. Exploration Stage Company The Company complies with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 7 and Securities and Exchange Commission Act Guide 7 for its characterization of the Company as exploration stage. All losses accumulated since inception has been considered as part of the Companys exploration stage activities. Mineral Property Costs Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized when incurred using the guidance in EITF 04-02, Whether Mineral Rights Are Tangible or Intangible Assets. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under SFAS 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets at each fiscal quarter end. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations. 21 Environmental Costs Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or the Companys commitments to plan of action based on the then known facts. Asset Retirement Obligation The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". SFAS No. 143 requires the Company to record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the assets. At December 31, 2008, the Company had not undertaken any drilling activity on its properties and had not incurred significant reclamation obligations. As such, no asset retirement obligation accrual was made in the December 31, 2008 and 2007 financial statements. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets as required by SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The estimated future cash flows are based upon, among other things, assumptions about future operating performance, and may differ from actual cash flows. Long-lived assets evaluated for impairment are grouped with other assets to the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. If the sum of the projected undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) is less than the carrying value of the assets, the assets will be written down to the estimated fair value in the period in which the determination is made. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently adopted accounting pronouncements On September 15, 2006, FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 references fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 157 does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. Originally, SFAS No. 157 was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Accordingly, we adopted SFAS No. 157 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB S
tatement No. 157, which provides a one year deferral of the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements at fair value at least annually. Therefore, the Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 with respect to its financial assets and liabilities only. 22 On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS No. 159 gives us the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis with the difference between the carrying value before election of the fair value option and the fair value recorded upon election as an adjustment to beginning retained earnings. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had not elected the fair value option for any eligible financial asset or liability. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised) Business Combinations. SFAS 141 (Revised) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. The statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The guidance will become effective for the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The Companys management is in the process of evaluating the impact SFAS 141 (Revised) will have on the Companys financial statements upon adoption. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The guidance will become effective for the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The Companys management is in the process of evaluating the impact SFAS 160 will have on the Companys financial statements upon adoption. In January 2008, Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 110, Share-Based Payment was issued. Registrants may continue, under certain circumstances, to use the simplified method in developing estimates of the expected term of share options as initially allowed by SAB 107, Share-Based Payment. The adoption of SAB 110 should have no effect on the financial position and results of operations of the Company. In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133) , which requires additional disclosures about the objectives of the derivative instruments and hedging activities, the method of accounting for such instruments under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and a tabular disclosure of the effects of such instruments and related hedged items on financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 161 should have no effect on the financial position and results of operations of the Company. In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS No. 162). SFAS No. 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for nongovernmental entities. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company does not expect there to be any significant impact of adopting SFAS 162 on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations. 23 In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) (FSP APB 14-1). FSP APB 14-1 applies to convertible debt instruments that, by their stated terms, may be settled in cash (or other assets) upon conversion, including partial cash settlement, unless the embedded conversion option is required to be separately accounted for as a derivative under SFAS 133. Convertible debt instruments within the scope of FSP APB 14-1 are not addressed by the existing APB 14. FSP APB 14-1 requires that the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments within the scope of FSP APB 14-1 be separately accounted for in a manner that reflects the entitys nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. This requires an allocation of the convertible debt proceeds between the liability component and the embedded conversion opt
ion (i.e., the equity component). The difference between the principal amount of the debt and the amount of the proceeds allocated to the liability component will be reported as a debt discount and subsequently amortized to earnings over the instruments expected life using the effective interest method. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for the Companys fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009 and will be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of adopting FSP APB 14-1. In June 2008, the FASB ratified the consensus reached on EITF Issue No. 07-05, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entitys Own Stock. EITF Issue No. 07-05 clarifies the determination of whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to an entitys own stock, which would qualify as a scope exception under SFAS No. 133. EITF Issue No. 07-05 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption for existing instruments is not permitted. The Company does not believe that the pending adoption of EITF Issue No. 07-05 will have a material effect on the Companys financial statements Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data 24 SUNERGY, INC. (An Exploration Stage Company) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2008 and 2007 (Stated in US Dollars) BDO Dunwoody LLP Chartered Accountants 600 Cathedral Place REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Stockholders, We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Sunergy, Inc. (the Company, an Exploration Stage Company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, cash flows and stockholders' deficiency for the years then ended and for the period from January 28, 2003 (Date of Inception) to December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance 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 audit 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles u
sed and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, based on our audits, these financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sunergy, Inc (an Exploration Stage Company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from January 28, 2003 (Date of Inception) to December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company is in the exploration stage, has a working capital deficiency has yet to achieve profitable operations, has accumulated losses since its inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business These factors, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. /s/ BDO Dunwoody LLP Chartered Accountants Vancouver, Canada April 13, 2009 SUNERGY, INC.

(An Exploration Stage Company) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2008 and 2007 (Stated in US Dollars) Note 1 Nature of Operations and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 28, 2003 and is in the exploration stage. The Company has a mineral properties located in British Columbia and the Republic of Ghana and has not yet determined whether these properties contain reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts from these properties will be dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Companys interest in the underlying properties, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to satisfy the expenditure requirements under the property agreements to complete the development of the properties and upon future profitable production or proceeds for the sale thereof. Effective October 7, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized a 5 for 1 forward stock split on the common shares. The authorized number of common shares increased from 75,000,000 to 375,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001. All references in the accompanying financial statements to the number of common shares have been restated to reflect the forward stock split. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next fiscal year. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At December 31, 2008, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $371,314, had yet to achieve profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $291,062 since its inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The Companys a
bility to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations 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 has no formal plan in place to address this concern but considers that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds by equity financing and/or related party advances, however there is no assurance of additional funding being available or on acceptable terms, if at all. No adjustment has been made to these financial statements for the outcome of this uncertainty. 28 Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates, which have been made using careful judgement. Actual results may vary from these estimates. The financial statements have, in managements opinion, been properly prepared within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below: Exploration Stage Company The Company complies with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 7 and Securities and Exchange Commission Act Guide 7 for its characterization of the Company as exploration stage. All losses accumulated since inception has been considered as part of the Companys exploration stage activities. The Company is subject to several categories of risk associated with its exploration stage activities. Mineral exploration and production is a speculative business, and involves a high degree of risk. Among the factors that have a direct bearing on the Companys prospects are uncertainties inherent in estimating mineral deposits, future mining production, and cash flows, particularly with respect to properties that have not been fully proven with economic mineral reserves; access to additional capital; changes in the price of the underlying commodity; availability and cost of services and equipment; and the presence of competitors with greater financial resources and capacity. Mineral Property Costs Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized when incurred using the guidance in EITF 04-02, Whether Mineral Rights Are Tangible or Intangible Assets. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under SFAS 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets at each fiscal quarter end. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations. 29 Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (contd) Environmental Costs Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or the Companys commitments to plan of action based on the then known facts. Asset Retirement Obligation The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". SFAS No. 143 requires the Company to record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the assets. At December 31, 2008, the Company had not undertaken any drilling activity on its properties and had not incurred significant reclamation obligations. As such, no asset retirement obligation accrual was made in the December 31, 2008 and 2007 financial statements. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets as required by SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The estimated future cash flows are based upon, among other things, assumptions about future operating performance, and may differ from actual cash flows. Long-lived assets evaluated for impairment are grouped with other assets to the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. If the sum of the projected undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) is less than the carrying value of the assets, the assets will be written down to the estimated fair value in the period in which the determination is made. Income Taxes The Company uses the assets and liability method of accounting for income taxes pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS), No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes. Under the assets and liability method of FAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. 30 Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (contd) Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share The Company reports basic loss per share in accordance with the FAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share has not been provided as it would be anti-dilutive. Foreign Currency Translation The Companys functional currency is United States (U.S.) dollars as substantially all of the Companys operations use this denomination. The Company uses the U.S. dollar as its reporting currency for consistency with registrants of the Securities and Exchange Commission and in accordance with FAS No. 52. Transactions undertaken in currencies other than the functional currency of the entity are translated using the exchange rate in effect as of the transaction date. Any exchange gains and losses would be included in the Statement of Operations. New Accounting Standards Recently adopted accounting pronouncements On September 15, 2006, FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 references fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 157 does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. Originally, SFAS No. 157 was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Accordingly, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-2,
147;Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which provides a one year deferral of the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements at fair value at least annually. Therefore, the Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 with respect to its financial assets and liabilities only. See Note 3 Fair Value Measurements in the Notes to Financial Statements herein. 31 Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (contd) New Accounting Standards (contd) Recently adopted accounting pronouncements- (contd) On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS No. 159 gives the Company the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis with the difference between the carrying value before election of the fair value option and the fair value recorded upon election as an adjustment to beginning retained earnings. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had not elected the fair value option for any eligible financial asset or liability. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised) Business Combinations. SFAS 141 (Revised) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. The statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The guidance will become effective for the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The Companys management is in the process of evaluating the impact SFAS 141 (Revised) will have on the Companys financial statements upon adoption. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The guidance will become effective for the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The Companys management is in the process of evaluating the impact SFAS 160 will have on the Companys financial statements upon adoption. In January 2008, Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 110, Share-Based Payment was issued. Registrants may continue, under certain circumstances, to use the simplified method in developing estimates of the expected term of share options as initially allowed by SAB 107, Share-Based Payment. The adoption of SAB 110 should have no effect on the financial position and results of operations of the Company. 32 Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (contd) New Accounting Standards (contd) Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted (contd) In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133) , which requires additional disclosures about the objectives of the derivative instruments and hedging activities, the method of accounting for such instruments under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and a tabular disclosure of the effects of such instruments and related hedged items on financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 161 should have no effect on the financial position and results of operations of the Company. In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS No. 162). SFAS No. 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for nongovernmental entities. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company does not expect there to be any significant impact of adopting SFAS 162 on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations. In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) (FSP APB 14-1). FSP APB 14-1 applies to convertible debt instruments that, by their stated terms, may be settled in cash (or other assets) upon conversion, including partial cash settlement, unless the embedded conversion option is required to be separately accounted for as a derivative under SFAS 133. Convertible debt instruments within the scope of FSP APB 14-1 are not addressed by the existing APB 14. FSP APB 14-1 requires that the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments within the scope of FSP APB 14-1 be separately accounted for in a manner that reflects the entitys nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. This requires an allocation of the convertible debt proceeds between the liability component and the embe
dded conversion option (i.e., the equity component). The difference between the principal amount of the debt and the amount of the proceeds allocated to the liability component will be reported as a debt discount and subsequently amortized to earnings over the instruments expected life using the effective interest method. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for the Companys fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009 and will be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of adopting FSP APB 14-1. 33 Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (contd) New Accounting Standards (contd) Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted (contd) In June 2008, the FASB ratified the consensus reached on EITF Issue No. 07-05, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entitys Own Stock. EITF Issue No. 07-05 clarifies the determination of whether an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to an entitys own stock, which would qualify as a scope exception under SFAS No. 133. EITF Issue No. 07-05 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption for existing instruments is not permitted. The Company does not believe that the pending adoption of EITF Issue No. 07-05 will have a material effect on the Companys financial statements Note 3 Fair Value Measurements The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008 for all financial assets and liabilities and non-financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. 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 the Companys credit risk. In addition to defining fair value, 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. 34 Note 3 Fair Value Measurements (contd) 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. The Company holds no Level 1 or Level 2 financial assets or liabilities. The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, related party loans and promissory note payable approximate their fair value because of the demand or short term to maturity of these instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is managements opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. In accordance with SFAS 157, the following table represents the fair value hierarchy for our financial assets and liabilities held by the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2008: Note 4 Mineral Properties Hummingbird Claim By a mineral property staking and sales agreement dated April 10, 2003, the Company acquired a 100% undivided right, title and interest in and to the Hummingbird Claims located in the province of British Columbia, Canada. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company incurred exploration costs of $1,874 ($2007: $3,865) on the Hummingbird Claims. 35 Note 4 Mineral Properties- (contd) Nyinahin Mining Concession By a mining acquisition agreement dated October 31, 2008 and amended by agreement on December 5, 2008, the Company agreed to acquire a 100% interest in a mineral concession located in the Ashanti region of Ghana, known as the Nyinahin concession, in consideration consisting of: a) $500,000 to be paid within 5 days of the effective date of the agreement; i) $12,500 by November 5, 2008; (paid by issuance of a promissory note) ii) $37,500 by December 31, 2008; (paid by issuance of a promissory note) iii) $200,000 by December 31, 2008; (paid by issuance of a promissory note) iv) $250,000 by April 30, 2009; (paid $12,500) b) 2,000,000 restricted shares of common stock of the Company valued at a value of $0.25 per share (based upon the price per share received on a private placement around the time of this agreement) for a total of $500,000. On December 30, 2008, the Company entered into a promissory note in the amount of $250,000 with a shareholder of the Company (Note 5) whereby the shareholder satisfied the Companys obligations in respect of the Nyinahin Mining Concession agreement for the payments totalling $250,000 that were due by December 31, 2008. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company paid $12,500 to the vendor of the Nyinahin Mining Concession which amount has been credited toward the $250,000 obligation due on April 30, 2009. The vendor shall retain a 5% Net Smelter Return on the Property. Note 5 Promissory Note The promissory note bears interest at 8% per annum. The outstanding principal balance and accrued interest is due and payable on December 31, 2009. The promissory note was issued to a shareholder of the Company in exchange for the shareholder, on behalf of the Company, paying 500,000 common shares of the Company in satisfaction of payments totaling $250,000 pursuant to the Nyinahin Mining Concession Acquisition Agreement dated October 31, 2008 and amended on December 5, 2008. Notes 4 and 9 36 Note 6 Income Taxes The tax effects of the temporary differences that give rise to the Company's estimated deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows: The Company's income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 differed from the United States statutory rates: As of December 31, 2008, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $287,000 available to offset future taxable income. The net operating loss carryforwards will begin expiring in 2026 unless utilized in earlier years. The Company evaluates its valuation allowance requirements based on projected future operations. When circumstances change and this causes a change in managements judgment about the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation allowance is reflected in current income. As management of the Company does not currently believe that it is more likely than not that the Company will receive the benefit of this asset, a valuation allowance equal to the deferred tax asset has been established at both December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. 37 Note 6 Income Taxes (contd) Uncertain Tax Positions The Company has adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, and accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Companys tax returns are subject to tax examinations by U.S. federal and state tax authorities, or examinations by foreign tax authorities until respective statue of limitation. It is subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for all taxation years commencing on or after 2003. Managements analysis of FIN 48 supports the conclusion that the Company does not have any accruals for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2008. As a result, tabular reconciliation of beginning and ending balances would not be meaningful. If interest and penalties were to be assessed, we would charge interest to interest expense, and penalties to other operating expense. It is not anticipated that unrecognized tax benefits would significantly increase or decrease within 12 months of the reporting date. The Company is in arrears on filing its statutory income tax returns and is therefore has estimated the expected amount of loss carry forwards available once the outstanding returns are filed. The Company expects to have significant net operating loss carry forwards for income tax purposes available to offset future taxable income. Note 7 Capital Stock On October 10 2008, the Company issued 600,000 units at $0.25 per unit for gross proceeds of $150,000. Each unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at $0.25 per share up to October 10, 2010. On December 10, 2008, the Company issued 2,000,000 common shares valued at $0.25 per share for a total of $500,000 pursuant to the agreement to acquire the Nyinahin Mining Concession in the Republic of Ghana Note 4 38 Note 7 Capital Stock (contd) Commitments a) Share Purchase Warrants A summary of the Companys share purchase warrants outstanding is presented below: b) Share Subscriptions As at December 31, 2008, the Company had received $5,000 in respect of a subscription for 20,000 units at $0.25 per unit.

Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure There were no disagreements related to accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, internal controls or auditing scope or procedure during the two fiscal years and interim periods, including the interim period up through the date the relationship ended. Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures Managements Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president (who is acting as our principal executive officer) and our treasurer (who is acting as our principal financial officer and principle accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management is required to apply its judgment in evalua
ting the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. As of December 31, 2008, the end of our fiscal year covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our president (who is acting as our principal executive officer) and our treasurer (who is acting as our principal financial officer and principle accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based
on the foregoing, our president (who is acting as our principal executive officer) and our treasurer (who is acting as our principal financial officer and principle accounting officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordances with US generally accepted accounting principles due to the existence of significant deficiencies constituting material weaknesses, as described in greater detail below. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our management evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. Based on its evaluation under the framework in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, our management, with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officer concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2008, due to the existence of significant deficiencies constituting material weaknesses, as described in greater detail below. A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. 25 This annual report does not include an attestation report of our companys independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by our companys independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit our company to provide only managements report in this annual report. Material Weaknesses Identified Based on our managements evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 and of Rule 15d-15 of the Exchange Act, certain significant deficiencies in internal control became evident to management that our management believes represent material weaknesses, including: (i) Insufficient segregation of duties in our finance and accounting functions due to limited personnel. During the year ended December 31, 2008, we had limited staff that performed nearly all aspects of our financial reporting process, including, but not limited to, access to the underlying accounting records and systems, the ability to post and record journal entries and responsibility for the preparation of the financial statements. This creates certain incompatible duties and a lack of review over the financial reporting process that would likely result in a failure to detect errors in spreadsheets, calculations, or assumptions used to compile the financial statements and related disclosures as filed with the SEC. These control deficiencies could result in a material misstatement to our interim or annual consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected; (ii) There is a lack of sufficient supervision and review by our management; (iii) Insufficient corporate governance policies. Although we have a code of ethics which provides broad guidelines for corporate governance, our corporate governance activities and processes are not always formally documented. Specifically, decisions made by the board to be carried out by management should be documented and communicated on a timely basis to reduce the likelihood of any misunderstandings regarding key decisions affecting our operations and management; and (iv) Our company's accounting staff does not have sufficient technical accounting knowledge relating to accounting for income taxes and complex US GAAP matters. Management corrected any errors prior to the release of our company's December 31, 2008 financial statements. Plan for Remediation of Material Weaknesses We intend to take appropriate and reasonable steps to make the necessary improvements to remediate these deficiencies. We intend to consider the results of our remediation efforts and related testing as part of our year-end 2009 assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We have implemented certain remediation measures and are in the process of designing and implementing additional remediation measures for the material weaknesses described in this annual report. Such remediation activities include the following: (1) We intend to hire outside consultants with sufficient expertise in accounting for complex US GAAP issues for our 2009 fiscal year; (2) We intend to update the documentation of our internal control processes, including formal risk assessment of our financial reporting processes and; 26 Inherent limitations on effectiveness of controls Our principal executive and principal financial officer does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additional controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of
some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

These shares have not yet been issued. Subsequent to December 31, 2008, we received $31,700 in respect of share subscriptions for 126,800 units at $0.25 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional common share $0.25 per share for a period of 24 months from the date of the closing of offering. These shares have not yet been issued.

Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, all filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than 10% percent beneficial owners were complied with, with the exception of the following: Name Number of Late Number of Transactions Failure to File Joseph B. Guerrero 1(1) 1(1) 1(1) George Polyhronopolous 1(1) 1(1) 1(1) Christian Brule 1(1) 1(1) 1(1) Purnendu K. Medhi 1(1) 1(1) 1(1) (1) The executive officer, director or holder of 10% or more of our common stock filed a late Form 3 Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities. Code of Ethics Effective April 14, 2009, our Company's Board of Directors adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to, among other persons, our company's President (being our principal executive officer) and Treasurer and Secretary (being our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), as well as persons performing similar functions. As adopted, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote: 1. honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; 2. full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by us; 3. compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations; 30 4. the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; and 5. accountability for adherence to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires, among other things, that all of our company's personnel shall be accorded full access to our president and secretary with respect to any matter which may arise relating to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Further, all of our company's personnel are to be accorded full access to our company's board of directors if any such matter involves an alleged breach of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by our Company officers. In addition, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics emphasizes that all employees, and particularly managers and/or supervisors, have a responsibility for maintaining financial integrity within our company, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles and federal and state securities laws. Any employee who becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting manipulation or other irregularities, whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to his or her immediate supervisor or to our company's president or secretary. If the incident involves an alleged breach of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by the president or secretary, the incident must be reported to any me
mber of our board of directors. Any failure to report such inappropriate or irregular conduct of others is to be treated as a severe disciplinary matter. It is against our company policy to retaliate against any individual who reports in good faith the violation or potential violation of our company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by another. We will provide a copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to any person without charge, upon request. Requests may be sent in writing to Sunergy Inc., 8711 E. Paraiso Drive, Scottsdale, AZ 85255. Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert Our board of directors has determined that it does not have a member of its audit committee that qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. We believe that the members of our board of directors are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. We believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated any material revenues to date. In addition, we currently do not have nominating, compensation or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor do we have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our board of directors does not believe that it is necessary to have such committees because it believes the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by our board of directors. 31 Item 11. Executive Compensation The particulars of the compensation paid to the following persons: (a) our principal executive officer; (b) each of our two most highly compensated executive officers who were serving as executive officers at the end of the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007; and (c) up to two additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been provided under (b) but for the fact that the individual was not serving as our executive officer at the end of the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, who we will collectively refer to as the named executive officers of our company, are set out in the following summary compensation table, except that no disclosure is provided for any named executive officer, other than our principal executive officers, whose total compensation did not exceed $100,000 for the respective fiscal year: Name Year Salary Bonus Stock Awards Option Awards Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensa-tion Change in Pension All Total Christian Brule(1) 2008 12,867 Nil Nil Nil Nil Nil 4,184 17,051 Lorne Lilly(2) 2008 Nil Nil Nil Nil Nil Nil Nil Nil Joseph B.

(3) Mr. Guerrero was appointed as our President and a director of our company on September 12, 2008. (4) Mr. Polyhronopoulos was appointed as our Treasurer, Secretary and director of our company on September 12, 2008. 32 Effective October 1, 2008, we entered into a management agreement with Joseph B. Guerrero, our President and director. We pay remuneration for his services at a rate of one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500) per month. The agreement is for a term of one year and will continue thereafter on a month to month basis unless terminated. Effective October 1, 2008, we entered into a management agreement with George Polyhronopolous, our Secretary, Treasurer and director. We pay remuneration for his services at a rate of one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500) per month. The agreement is for a term of one year and will continue thereafter on a month to month basis unless terminated. Effective October 1, 2008, we entered into a director fee agreement with Christian Brule, a director of our company. We pay directors fees at a rate of one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500) per month. The agreement is for a term of one year and will continue thereafter on a month to month basis unless terminated. Stock Option Grants to our Named Executive Officers Our company did not grant any stock options to any named executive officers during the year ended December 31, 2008. Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End There were no outstanding equity awards granted to any named executive officer as of December 31, 2008. Aggregated Option Exercises in Last Fiscal Year and Fiscal Year-End Values There were no options outstanding, and hence no options exercised, by any named executive officers during the year ended December 31, 2008. Compensation of Directors Other than as described below, we do not have any agreements for compensating our directors for their services in their capacity as directors, although such directors are expected in the future to receive stock options to purchase shares of our common stock as awarded by our board of directors. Effective October 1, 2008, we entered into a director fee agreement with Christian Brule, a director of our company. We pay directors fees at a rate of one thousand five hundred dollars ($1,500) per month. The agreement is for a term of one year and will continue thereafter on a month to month basis unless terminated. Pension, Retirement or Similar Benefit Plans There are no arrangements or plans in which we provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for directors or executive officers. We have no material bonus or profit sharing plans pursuant to which cash or non-cash compensation is or may be paid to our directors or executive officers, except that stock options may be granted at the discretion of the board of directors or a committee thereof. Indebtedness of Directors, Senior Officers, Executive Officers and Other Management None of our directors or executive officers or any associate or affiliate of our company during the last two fiscal years, is or has been indebted to our company by way of guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or other similar agreement or understanding currently outstanding. Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters The following table sets forth, as of April 8, 2009, certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common shares by each shareholder known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common shares, as well as by each of our current directors and executive officers as a group. Each person has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock, except as otherwise indicated. Beneficial ownership consists of a direct interest in the shares of common stock, except as otherwise indicated. 33 Name and Address of Beneficial Owner Amount and Nature of Percentage Joseph B. Guerrero Nil Nil% George Polyhronopolous Nil Nil% Christian Brule 12,500,000 23.24% Purnendu K. Medhi Nil Nil% Directors and Executive Officers as a Group(1) 12,500,000 common shares 23.24% Lorne Lilley 12,500,000 common shares 23.24% (1) Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such p
erson (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the persons actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on April 8, 2009. As of April 8, 2009, there were 53,797,500 shares of our companys common stock issued and outstanding Changes in Control We are unaware of any contract or other arrangement the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of our company. Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence Except as disclosed herein, no director, executive officer, shareholder holding at least 5% of shares of our common stock, or any family member thereof, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or proposed transaction since the year ended December 31, 2008, in which the amount involved in the transaction exceeded or exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at the year end for the last three completed fiscal years. 34 Included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities is $45,920 (2007: $52,200) owing to directors of the Company for unpaid rent and management fees. Included in the related party loan are amounts due to directors of the Company consisting of $10,180 (2007: $55,564) which bears interest of 5% per annum, is unsecured and has no specific terms for repayment and $Nil (2007: $23,670) which is unsecured, non-interest bearing and has no specific terms for repayment. Director Independence We currently act with four (4) directors, consisting of George Polyhronopolous, Joseph B. Guerrero, Christian Brule and Purnendu K. Medhi. We have determined that Mr. Medhi is an independent directors as defined in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15). Currently our audit committee consists of our entire board of directors. We currently do not have nominating, compensation committees or committees performing similar functions. There has not been any defined policy or procedure requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nomination for directors. Our board of directors has determined that it does not have a member of its audit committee who qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. From inception to present date, we believe that the members of our audit committee and the board of directors have been and are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services The aggregate fees billed for the most recently completed fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and for fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2008 December 31, 2007 Audit Fees $20,202 $ 16,933 Audit Related Fees Nil Nil Tax Fees Nil Nil All Other Fees Nil Nil Total $20,202 $ 16,933 Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that before our independent auditors are engaged by us to render any auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement be: · approved by our audit committee (which consists of our entire board of directors); or · entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the board of directors, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the board of directors is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the board of directors' responsibilities to management. 35 Our board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered. Our board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by our independent auditors and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining our independent auditors independence.

(the Corporation)
CODE OF ETHICS AND BUSINESS CONDUCT
FOR DIRECTORS, SENIOR OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES OF THE CORPORATION
(the Code)
This Code applies to the Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, Controller and persons performing similar functions (collectively, the Senior Officers) along with all directors and employees within the Corporation (the Senior Officers, directors and employees are hereinafter collectively referred to as the Employees). This Code covers a wide range of business practices and procedures. It does not cover every issue that may arise, but it sets out basic principles to guide all Employees of the Corporation. All Employees should conduct themselves accordingly and seek to avoid the appearance of improper behaviour in any way relating to the Corporation.
Any Employee who has any questions about the Code should consult with the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Corporation’s board of directors (the “Board”) or the Corporation’s audit committee (the “Audit Committee”).
The Corporation has adopted the Code for the purpose of promoting:
·
honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
·
full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in all reports and documents that the Corporation files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Corporation that are within the Senior Officer’s area of responsibility;
·
compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
·
the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code; and
·
accountability for adherence to the Code.
HONEST AND ETHICAL CONDUCT
Each Senior Officer and member of the Board owes a duty to the Corporation to act with integrity. Integrity requires, among other things, being honest and candid. Employees must adhere to a high standard of business ethics and are expected to make decisions and take actions based on the best interests of the Corporation, as a whole, and not based on personal relationships or benefits. Generally, a conflict of interest occurs when an Employees personal interests is, or appears to be, inconsistent with, interferes with or is opposed to the best interests of the Corporation or gives the appearance of impropriety.
{WLMLAW W0021544.DOC}
- 2 -
Business decisions and actions must be made in the best interests of the Corporation and should not be influenced by personal considerations or relationships. Relationships with the Corporations stakeholders - for example suppliers, competitors and customers - should not in any way affect an Employees responsibility and accountability to the Corporation. Conflicts of interest can arise when an Employee or a member of his or her family receive improper gifts, entertainment or benefits as a result of his or her position in the Corporation.
Specifically, each Employee must:
1.
act with integrity, including being honest and candid while still maintaining the confidentiality of information when required or consistent with the Corporations policies;
2.
avoid violations of the Code, including actual or apparent conflicts of interest with the Corporation in personal and professional relationships;
3.
disclose to the Board or the Audit Committee any material transaction or relationship that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a breach of the Code, including actual or apparent conflicts of interest with the Corporation;
4.
obtain approval from the Board or Audit Committee before making any decisions or taking any action that could reasonably be expected to involve a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest;
5.
observe both the form and spirit of laws and governmental rules and regulations, accounting standards and Corporation policies;
6.
maintain a high standard of accuracy and completeness in the Corporations financial records;
7.
ensure full, fair, timely, accurate and understandable disclosure in the Corporations periodic reports;
8.
report any violations of the Code to the Board or Audit Committee;
9.
proactively promote ethical behaviour among peers in his or her work environment; and
10.
maintain the skills appropriate and necessary for the performance of his or her duties.
DISCLOSURE OF CORPORATION INFORMATION
As a result of the Corporations status as a public company, it is required to file periodic and other reports with the SEC. The Corporation takes its public disclosure responsibility seriously to ensure that these reports furnish the marketplace with full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure regarding the financial and business condition of the Corporation. All disclosures contained in reports and documents filed with or submitted to the SEC, or other government agencies, on behalf of the Corporation or contained in other public communications made by the Corporation must be complete and correct in all material respects and understandable to the intended recipient.
{WLMLAW W0021544.DOC}
- 3 -
The Senior Officers, in relation to his or her area of responsibility, must be committed to providing timely, consistent and accurate information, in compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements. It is imperative that this disclosure be accomplished consistently during both good times and bad and that all parties in the marketplace have equal or similar access to this information.
All of the Corporations books, records, accounts and financial statements must be maintained in reasonable detail, must appropriately reflect the Corporations transactions, and must conform both to applicable legal requirements and to the Corporations system of internal controls. Unrecorded or off the book funds, assets or liabilities should not be maintained unless permitted by applicable law or regulation. Senior Officers involved in the preparation of the Corporations financial statements must prepare those statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, and any other applicable accounting standards and rules so that the financial statements materially, fairly and completely reflect the business transactions and financial statements and related condition of the Corporation. Further, it is important that financial stateme nts and related disclosures be free of material errors.
Specifically, each Senior Officer must:
1.
familiarize himself or herself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Corporation;
2.
not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Corporation to others, including the Corporations independent auditors, governmental regulators, self-regulating organizations and other governmental officials;
3.
to the extent that he or she participates in the creation of the Corporations books and records, promote the accuracy, fairness and timeliness of those records; and
4.
in relation to his or her area of responsibility, properly review and critically analyse proposed disclosure for accuracy and completeness.
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
Employees must maintain the confidentiality of confidential information entrusted to them by the Corporation of its customers, suppliers, joint venture partners, or others with whom the Corporation is considering a business or other transaction except when disclosure is authorized by an executive officer or required or mandated by laws or regulations. Confidential information includes all non-public information that might be useful or helpful to competitors or harmful to the Corporation or its customers or suppliers, if disclosed. It also includes information that suppliers, customers and other parties have entrusted to the Corporation. The obligation to preserve confidential information continues even after employment ends.
{WLMLAW W0021544.DOC}
- 4 -
Records containing personal data about employees or private information about customers and their employees are confidential. They are to be carefully safeguarded, kept current, relevant and accurate. They should be disclosed only to authorized personnel or as required by law.
All inquiries regarding the Corporation from non-employees, such as financial analysts and journalists, should be directed to the Board or the Audit Committee. The Corporations policy is to cooperate with every reasonable request of government investigators for information. At the same time, the Corporation is entitled to all the safeguards provided by law for the benefit of persons under investigation or accused of wrongdoing, including legal representation. If a representative of any government or government agency seeks an interview or requests access to data or documents for the purposes of an investigation, the Employee should refer the representative to the Board or the Audit Committee. Employees also should preserve all materials, including documents and e-mails that might relate to any pending or reasonably possible investigation.
COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS
The Employees must respect and obey all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations applicable to the business and operations of the Corporation.
Employees who have access to, or knowledge of, material nonpublic information from or about the Corporation are prohibited from buying, selling or otherwise trading in the Corporations stock or other securities. Material nonpublic information includes any information, positive or negative, that has not yet been made available or disclosed to the public and that might be of significance to an investor, as part of the total mix of information, in deciding whether to buy or sell stock or other securities.
Employees also are prohibited from giving tips on material nonpublic information, that is directly or indirectly disclosing such information to any other person, including family members, other relatives and friends, so that they may trade in the Corporations stock or other securities.
Furthermore, if, during the course of an Employees service with the Corporation, he or she acquires material nonpublic information about another company, such as one of our customers or suppliers, or you learn that the Corporation is planning a major transaction with another company (such as an acquisition), the Employee is restricted from trading in the securities of the other company.
REPORTING ACTUAL AND POTENTIAL VIOLATIONS OF THE CODE AND ACCOUNTABILITY FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THE CODE
The Corporation, through the Board or the Audit Committee, is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions may arise and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation. This Code is not intended to provide a comprehensive guideline for Senior Officers in relation to their business activities with the Corporation. Any Employee may seek clarification on the application of this Code from the Board or the Audit Committee.
{WLMLAW W0021544.DOC}
- 5 -
Each Employee must:
1.
notify the Corporation of any existing or potential violation of this Code, and failure to do so is itself a breach of the Code; and
2.
not retaliate, directly or indirectly, or encourage others to do so, against any Employee for reports, made in good faith, of any misconduct or violations of the Code solely because that Employee raised a legitimate ethical issue.
The Board or the Audit Committee will take all action it considers appropriate to investigate any breach of the Code reported to it. All Employees are required to cooperate fully with any such investigations and to provide truthful and accurate information. If the Board or the Audit Committee determines that a breach has occurred, it will take or authorize disciplinary or preventative action as it deems appropriate, after consultation with the Corporations counsel if warranted, up to and including termination of employment. Where appropriate, the Corporation will not limit itself to disciplinary action but may pursue legal action against the offending Employee involved. In some cases, the Corporation may have a legal or ethical obligation to call violations to the attention of appropriate enforcement authorities.
Compliance with the Code may be monitored by audits performed by the Board, Audit Committee, the Corporations counsel and/or by the Corporations outside auditors. All Employees are required to cooperate fully with any such audits and to provide truthful and accurate information.
Any waiver of this Code for any Employee may be made only by the Board or the Audit Committee and will be promptly disclosed to stockholders and others, as required by applicable law. The Corporation must disclose changes to and waivers of the Code in accordance with applicable law.
