PART I


ITEM 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

We are a natural resource company engaged in participating in the drilling and production of oil and gas wells in the United States with particular focus in the State of Tennessee.


We are considered an exploration or exploratory stage company as we are involved in the participation in the drilling of exploration wells that we believe may contain commercial quantities of oil and gas for the purpose of production and sale. We do not own any direct interest in any oil and gas property and there are no assurances that the exploration wells in which we participate will result in the establishment of proved oil or gas reserves or commercial production.  We have not acquired any crude oil or natural gas leases or participation agreements as of present date.

 

Our Corporate Organization

 

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada, United States of America on February 22, 2007 as Startale Group, Inc. and its fiscal year end is June 30.


Our name was changed to Alco Energy Inc. effective May 21, 2008.

 

Our principal offices are located at 2nd Floor, 2810 Matheson Blvd., Mississauga, ON, L4W 4X7.  Our telephone number is (905) 212-7467 and fax number (905) 625-5864.

 

Our Business

 

The Company was engaged in the design, manufacture and distribution of lifestyle inspired apparel, which will be sold through a network of wholesale accounts and retail outlets up to the last fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2008.  We have discontinued our packaging design for outerwear and underwear.  Our current plan of operations is to pursue a variety of oil and gas interests in the State of Tennessee.  The Company currently proposed to develop such projects by immediately acquiring oil and gas leases.



5






We are a natural resource company engaged in participating in the drilling of oil and gas wells in the State of Tennessee. The company’s plan of operation over the next twelve months is to begin actively seeking oil or gas producing prospects, or exploratory prospects, with exceptional risk/reward characteristics in the current environment. We will pay particular attention to prospects with proven production potential, where the working interest owner or operator is capital constrained, especially those owned by small public or private entities. The company anticipates it will raise additional funds when those prospects are identified.

 

The Company’s currently proposed general business plan contemplates our business by purchasing interests in oil and gas exploration and production ventures, with additional such purchases planned for the future as financing and revenues allow.


Governmental Regulations

 

The Company is subject to numerous state and federal regulations, environmental and otherwise, that may have a substantial negative effect on its ability to operate at a profit. For a discussion of the risks involved as a result of such regulations, see, “Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on Business” and “Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws” hereinafter in this section.

 

Principal Products or Services and Markets

 

The principal markets for the Company’s potential crude oil are local refining companies, local utilities and private industry end-users. The principal markets for the Company’s potential natural gas are local utilities, private industry end-users, and natural gas marketing companies.


At present, the Company does not produce any crude oil or natural gas.  The Company may in the future sell some or all of its production to one or more additional refineries in order to maximize revenues as purchase prices offered by the refineries fluctuate from time to time. Crude oil produced by the Company will be transported to the refinery by contracted truck delivery at the Company’s expense.

 

Drilling Equipment

 

The Company does not currently own a drilling rig or any related drilling equipment. The Company will obtain drilling services as required from time to time from various companies as available in the surrounding area.

 

Distribution Methods of Products or Services

 

Crude oil is normally delivered to refineries in Tennessee by tank truck and natural gas is distributed and transported via pipeline.

 

Competitive Business Conditions, Competitive Position in the Industry and Methods of Competition

 

The Company's contemplated oil and gas exploration activities in the State of Tennessee will be undertaken in a highly competitive and speculative business atmosphere. In seeking any other suitable oil and gas properties for acquisition, the Company will be competing with a number of other companies, including large oil and gas companies and other independent operators with greater financial resources. Management does not believe that the Company’s competitive position in the oil and gas industry will be significant as the Company currently exists.



6





 

The Company has numerous competitors in the State of Tennessee that are in the business of exploring for and producing oil and natural gas in the East Tennessee areas. Some of these companies are larger than the Company and have greater financial resources. These companies are in competition with the Company for lease positions in the known producing areas in which the Company proposes to operate, as well as other potential areas of interest.

 

Although management does not foresee any difficulties in procuring contracted drilling rigs, several factors, including increased competition in the area, may limit the availability of drilling rigs, rig operators and related personnel and/or equipment in the future. Such limitations would have a natural adverse impact on the profitability of the Company's operations.

 

The Company anticipates no difficulty in procuring well drilling permits in any state. They are usually issued within one week of application. The Company generally does not apply for a permit until it is actually ready to commence drilling operations.

 

The prices of the Company's products are controlled by the world oil market and the United States natural gas market. Thus, competitive pricing behaviors are considered unlikely; however, competition in the oil and gas exploration industry exists in the form of competition to acquire the most promising acreage blocks and obtaining the most favorable prices for transporting the product.


Sources and Availability of Raw Materials  

 

Excluding the development of oil and gas reserves and the production of oil and gas, the Company's operations are not dependent on the acquisition of any raw materials.

 

Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers

 

The Company presently has no customers.  The Company in the future may sell some or all of its production to one or more additional refineries in order to maximize revenues as purchase prices offered by the refineries fluctuate from time to time.

 

Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements or Labor Contracts, Including Duration

 

Royalty agreements relating to oil and gas production are standard in the industry. The amount of the Company's royalty payments varies from lease to lease.  


At present, the Company has no patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises, concessions or royalty agreements.


The Company’s web site www.alcoenergy.com is copyrighted under United States law and is a registered domain name owned directly by the Company.

 

Need For Governmental Approval of Principal Products or Services

 

None of the principal products offered by the Company require governmental approval, although permits are required for drilling oil or gas wells.




7





Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on Business

 

Exploration and production activities relating to oil and gas leases are subject to numerous environmental laws, rules and regulations. The Federal Clean Water Act requires the Company to construct a fresh water containment barrier between the surface of each drilling site and the underlying water table. This involves the insertion of a seven-inch diameter steel casing into each well, with cement on the outside of the casing. The Company has fully complied with this environmental regulation, the cost of which is approximately $10,000 per well.

 

The State of Tennessee also requires the posting of a bond to ensure that the Company's wells are properly plugged when abandoned. A separate $2,000 bond is required for each well drilled. The Company currently has the requisite amount of bonds on deposit.

 

The Company’s exploration, production and marketing operations are regulated extensively at the federal, state and local levels. The Company has made and will continue to make expenditures in its efforts to comply with the requirements of environmental and other regulations. Further, the oil and gas regulatory environment could change in ways that might substantially increase these costs. Hydrocarbon-producing states regulate conservation practices and the protection of correlative rights. These regulations affect the Company’s operations and limit the quantity of hydrocarbons it may produce and sell. In addition, at the federal level, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission regulates interstate transportation of natural gas under the Natural Gas Act. Other regulated matters include marketing, pricing, transportation and valuation of royalty payments.

 

The Company’s operations are also subject to numerous and frequently changing laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. The Company will be subject to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act and analogous state laws. Under such laws, the Company could be required to remove or remediate previously released wastes or property contamination.

 

Laws and regulations protecting the environment have generally become more stringent and, may in some cases, impose “strict liability” for environmental damage. Strict liability means that the Company may be held liable for damage without regard to whether it was negligent or otherwise at fault. Environmental laws and regulations may expose the Company to liability for the conduct of or conditions caused by others or for acts that were in compliance with all applicable laws at the time they were performed. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the imposition of administrative, civil and criminal penalties.

 

While management believes that the Company’s operations will substantial comply with existing requirements of governmental bodies, the Company’s ability to conduct operations is subject to satisfying applicable regulatory and permitting controls. The Company’s ability to get future permits and authorizations may be susceptible, on a going forward basis, to increased scrutiny, greater complexity resulting in increased costs or delays in receiving appropriate authorizations.

 

The Company’s Board of Directors will adopt resolutions to form an Environmental Response Policy and Emergency Action Response Policy Program. A plan was adopted which provides for the erection of signs at each well and at strategic locations along the pipeline containing telephone numbers of the Company's office. A list will be maintained at the Company's office and at the home of key personnel listing phone numbers for fire, police, emergency services and Company employees who will be needed to deal with emergencies.

 



8





The foregoing is only a brief summary of some of the existing environmental laws, rules and regulations to which the Company's business operations are subject, and there are many others, the effects of which could have an adverse impact on the Company. Future legislation in this area will no doubt be enacted and revisions will be made in current laws. No assurance can be given as to what affect these present and future laws, rules and regulations will have on the Company's current and future operations.

 

Research and Development

 

The Company has not expended any material amount in research and development activities during the last two fiscal years.

 

Number of Total Employees and Number of Full-Time Employees

 

The Company presently has one full time employee.



ITEM 1A. - RISK FACTORS


In addition to the other information included in this Form 10-K, the following risk factors should be considered in evaluating the Company’s business and future prospects. The risk factors described below are not necessarily exhaustive and you are encouraged to perform your own investigation with respect to the Company and its business. You should also read the other information included in this Form 10-K, including the financial statements and related notes.



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


We are in the “developmental” stage of business and have yet to commence any substantive commercial operations. We have no history of revenues from operations. We have yet to generate positive earnings and there can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably. Alco Energy has a limited operating history and must be considered in the exploration stage. Success is significantly dependent on a successful drilling, completion and production program. Operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a developing enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating history. We may be unable to locate recoverable reserves or operate on a profitable basis. We are in the exploration stage and potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by enterprises in the exploration stage. If the business plan is not successful, and we are not able to o perate profitably, investors may lose some or all of their investment in the company.


If we are unable to obtain additional funding business operations will be harmed and if we do obtain additional financing then existing shareholders may suffer substantial dilution.


We will require additional funds to drill wells and acquire lease properties. We anticipate that we will require up to approximately $500,000 in funding continuing operations for the next twelve months, depending on revenue, if any, from operations. Additional capital will be required to effectively support the operations and to otherwise implement overall business strategy. We currently do not have any contracts or commitments for additional financing. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. The inability to obtain additional capital will restrict the ability to grow and may reduce the ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will likely be required to curtail drilling and developments plans



9





and possibly cease operations. Any additional equity financing may involve substantial dilution to then existing shareholders.


Because we are small and do not have much capital, we may have to limit exploration activity which may result in a loss of your investment.


Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit exploration activity. As such we may not be able to complete an exploration program that is as thorough as we would like. In that event, existing reserves may go undiscovered. Without finding reserves, we cannot generate revenues and you will lose your investment.


If we are unable to continue to retain the services of Messer’s Bill Akrivos, William Goodwin, and Charles Murchison or if we are unable to successfully recruit qualified managerial and field personnel having experience in oil and gas exploration, we may not be able to continue operations.


Success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of Mr. Bill Akrivos, the President and Director, Mr. William Goodwin, Director, and Mr. Charles Murchison, Director. Loss of the services of Messrs. Akrivos, Goodwin or Murchison could have a material adverse effect on growth, revenues, and prospective business. We have not obtained key-man insurance on the life of Messer’s Akrivos, Goodwin or Murchison. In order to successfully implement and manage the business plan, we will be dependent upon, among other things, successfully recruiting qualified managerial and field personnel having experience in the oil and gas exploration business. Competition for qualified individuals is intense. There can be no assurance that we will be able to find, attract and retain existing employees or that we will be able to find, attract and retain qualified personnel on acceptable terms.


As future properties would be in the exploration stage, there can be no assurance that we will establish commercial discoveries on the properties.


Exploration for economic reserves of oil and gas is subject to a number of risk factors. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing oil and/or gas wells. The properties that we will likely acquire will be in the exploration stage only.  We may or may not have proven reserves on the properties that we would acquire and there is no assurance that we may not establish commercial discoveries on any of the properties.


We are a new entrant into the oil and gas exploration and development industry without profitable operating history.


Activities have been limited to organizational efforts and obtaining working capital to acquire and develop a very limited number of properties. As a result, there is no information regarding property related production potential or revenue generation potential. As a result, future revenues may be limited or non-existent.


The business of oil and gas exploration and development is subject to many risks. The potential profitability of oil and natural gas properties if economic quantities are found is dependent upon many factors and risks beyond our control, including, but not limited to: (i) unanticipated ground conditions; (ii) geological problems; (iii) drilling and other processing problems; (iv) the occurrence of unusual weather or operating conditions and other force majeure events; (v) lower than expected reserve quantities; (vi) accidents; (vii) delays in the receipt of or failure to receive necessary government permits; (viii) delays in transportation; (ix) labor disputes; (x) government permit restrictions and regulation restrictions; (xi) unavailability of materials and equipment; and (xii) the failure of equipment or drilling to operate in accordance with specifications or expectations.



10






Drilling operations may not be successful.


There can be no assurance that future drilling activities will be successful, and we cannot be sure that overall drilling success rate or production operations within a particular area will ever come to fruition and, if it does, will not decline over time. We may not recover all or any portion of the capital investment in the wells or the underlying leaseholds. Unsuccessful drilling activities would have a material adverse effect upon results of operations and financial condition. The cost of drilling, completing, and operating wells is often uncertain, and a number of factors can delay or prevent drilling operations including: (i) unexpected drilling conditions; (ii) pressure or irregularities in geological formations; (iii) equipment failures or accidents; (iv) adverse weather conditions; and (iv) shortages or delays in availability of drilling rigs and delivery of equipment.


Prospects that we decide to drill may not yield natural gas or oil in commercially viable quantities.


Prospects are in various stages of preliminary evaluation and assessment and we have not reached the point where we will decide to drill at all on the subject prospects. The use of seismic data, historical drilling logs, offsetting well information, and other technologies and the study of producing fields in the same area will not enable us to know conclusively prior to drilling and testing whether natural gas will be present or, if present, whether natural gas or oil will be present in sufficient quantities or quality to recover drilling or completion costs or to be economically viable. In sum, the cost of drilling, completing and operating any wells is often uncertain and new wells may not be productive.


If production results from operations, we are dependent upon transportation and storage services provided by third parties.


We will be dependent on the transportation and storage services offered by various interstate and intrastate pipeline companies for the delivery and sale of gas supplies. Both the performance of transportation and storage services by interstate pipelines and the rates charged for such services are subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission or state regulatory agencies. An inability to obtain transportation and/or storage services at competitive rates could hinder processing and marketing operations and/or affect sales margins.


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


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


Adverse weather conditions can also hinder drilling operations. A productive well may become uneconomic in the event that water or other deleterious substances are encountered which impair or prevent the production of oil and/or gas from the well. The marketability of oil and gas which may be acquired or discovered will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include the proximity and capacity of oil and gas pipelines and processing equipment, market fluctuations of prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production and environmental regulations. These factors cannot be



11





accurately predicted and the combination of these factors may result in our company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.


The oil and gas industry is highly competitive and there is no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring new leases.


The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive. We compete with numerous individuals and companies, including many major oil and gas companies, which have substantially greater technical, financial and operational resources and staffs. Accordingly, there is a high degree of competition for desirable oil and gas leases, suitable properties for drilling operations and necessary drilling equipment, as well as for access to funds. We cannot predict if the necessary funds can be raised or that any projected work will be completed.


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


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


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


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


We believe that our operations will comply, in all material respects, with all applicable environmental regulations. Our future operating partners will maintain insurance coverage customary to the industry; however, we may not be fully insured against all possible environmental risks.




12





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


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


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


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


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


Because our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, we may find it difficult to obtain additional financing.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, we were recently incorporated, and we do not have a history of earnings, and as a result, our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Continued operations are dependent on our ability to complete equity or debt financings or generate profitable operations. Such financings may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.


Risks Related to Our Stock


The OTC Bulletin Board is a quotation system, not an issuer listing service, market or exchange. Therefore, buying and selling stock on the OTC Bulletin Board is not as efficient as buying and selling stock through an exchange. As a result, it may be difficult for you to sell your common stock or you may not be able to sell your common stock for an optimum trading price.


The OTC Bulletin Board is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last sale prices and volume limitations in over-the-counter securities. Because trades and quotations on the OTC Bulletin Board involve a manual process, the market information for such securities cannot be guaranteed. In addition, quote information, or even firm quotes, may not be available. The manual execution process may delay order processing and intervening price fluctuations may result in the failure of a limit order to execute or the execution of a market order at a significantly different price. Execution of trades, execution reporting and the delivery of legal trade confirmations may be delayed significantly. Consequently, one may not be able to sell shares of our common stock at the optimum trading prices.


When fewer shares of a security are being traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, volatility of prices may increase and price movement may outpace the ability to deliver accurate quote information. Lower trading volumes in a security may result in a lower likelihood of an individual’s orders being executed,



13





and current prices may differ significantly from the price one was quoted by the OTC Bulletin Board at the time of the order entry.


Orders for OTC Bulletin Board securities may be cancelled or edited like orders for other securities. All requests to change or cancel an order must be submitted to, received and processed by the OTC Bulletin Board. Due to the manual order processing involved in handling OTC Bulletin Board trades, order processing and reporting may be delayed, and an individual may not be able to cancel or edit his order. Consequently, one may not able to sell shares of common stock at the optimum trading prices.


The dealer’s spread (the difference between the bid and ask prices) may be large and may result in substantial losses to the seller of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board if the common stock or other security must be sold immediately. Further, purchasers of securities may incur an immediate “paper” loss due to the price spread. Moreover, dealers trading on the OTC Bulletin Board may not have a bid price for securities bought and sold through the OTC Bulletin Board. Due to the foregoing, demand for securities that are traded through the OTC Bulletin Board may be decreased or eliminated.


We are subject to the penny stock rules and these rules may adversely affect trading in our common stock.


Our common stock is a “low-priced” security under rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In accordance with these rules, broker-dealers participating in transactions in low-priced securities must first deliver a risk disclosure document which describes the risks associated with such stocks, the broker-dealer’s duties in selling the stock, the customer’s rights and remedies and certain market and other information. Furthermore, the broker-dealer must make a suitability determination approving the customer for low-priced stock transactions based on the customer’s financial situation, investment experience and objectives. Broker-dealers must also disclose these restrictions in writing to the customer, obtain specific written consent from the customer, and provide monthly account statements to the customer. The effect of these restrictions probably decreases the willingness of broker-dealers to ma ke a market in our common stock, decreases liquidity of our common stock and increases transaction costs for sales and purchases of our common stock as compared to other securities.


Our stock price may be volatile, which may result in losses to our stockholders.


Historically, the market prices of companies quoted on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, generally have been very volatile and have experienced sharp share price and trading volume changes. The trading price of our common stock is likely to be volatile and could fluctuate widely in response to many of the following factors, some of which are beyond our control:


·

variations in our operating results;

·

announcements of technological innovations, new services or product lines by us or our competitors;

·

changes in expectations of our future financial performance, including financial estimates by securities analysts and investors;

·

changes in operating and stock price performance of other companies in our industry;

·

additions or departures of key personnel; and

·

future sales of our common stock.




14





In general, domestic and international stock markets often experience significant price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations, as well as general economic and political conditions unrelated to our performance, may adversely affect the price of our common stock. In particular, the market prices for stocks of companies in volatile markets often reach levels that bear no established relationship to the operating performance of these companies. These market prices are generally not sustainable and could vary widely. In certain instances, following periods of volatility in the market price of a public company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been initiated.


We will incur increased costs and compliance risks as a result of becoming a public company.


As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. We will incur costs associated with our public company reporting requirements. We also anticipate that we will incur costs associated with recently adopted corporate governance requirements, including certain requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as new rules implemented by the SEC and the National Association of Securities Dealers (“NASD”). We expect these rules and regulations, in particular Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. Like many smaller public companies, we face a significant impact from required compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 requires management of public companies to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporti ng and the independent auditors to attest to the effectiveness of such internal controls and the evaluation performed by management. The SEC has adopted rules implementing Section 404 for public companies as well as disclosure requirements. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, has adopted documentation and attestation standards that the independent auditors must follow in conducting its attestation under Section 404. We are currently preparing for compliance with Section 404; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to effectively meet all of the requirements of Section 404 as currently known to us in the currently mandated time frame. Any failure to implement effectively new or improved internal controls, or to resolve difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results, significantly increase our accounting and compliance budget, cause us to fail to meet reporting obligations or result in management being required to give a qualified assessm ent of our internal controls over financial reporting or our independent auditors providing an adverse opinion regarding management’s assessment. Any such result could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.


We also expect these new rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance if we chose to do so in the future. Thus, we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our Board of Directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these new rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.


If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, our ability to provide accurate financial statements and comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could be impaired, which could cause our stock price to decrease substantially.


We have committed limited personnel and resources to the development of the external reporting and compliance obligations that would be required of a public company. We have taken measures to evaluate how we can address and improve our financial reporting and compliance capabilities and we are in the process of instituting changes to satisfy our obligations in connection with joining a public company, when and as such requirements become applicable to us. Prior to taking these measures, we did not



15





believe we had the resources and capabilities to do so. We plan to obtain additional financial and accounting resources to support and enhance our ability to meet the requirements of being a public company. We will need to continue to improve our financial and managerial controls, reporting systems and procedures, and documentation thereof. If our financial and managerial controls, reporting systems or procedures fail, we may not be able to provide accurate financial statements on a timely basis or comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as it applies to us. Any failure of our internal controls or our ability to provide accurate financial statements could cause the trading price of our common stock to decrease substantially.


U.S. investors may experience difficulties in attempting to effect service of process and to enforce judgments based upon U.S. federal securities laws against the company and its sole non-U.S. resident officer and director.


Our director and sole officer, Bill Akrivos, is not resident of the United States. Consequently, it may be difficult for investors to affect service of process on Mr. Akrivos in the United States and to enforce in the United States judgments obtained in United States courts against Mr. Akrivos based on the civil liability provisions of the United States securities laws. Since all our assets are located in Canada it may be difficult or impossible for U.S. investors to collect a judgment against us. As well, any judgment obtained in the United States against us may not be enforceable in Canada.


We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.


We have never paid any dividends on our common stock. We do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock at any time in the foreseeable future. The future payment of dividends directly depends upon our future earnings, capital requirements, financial requirements and other factors that our board of directors will consider. Since we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock, return on your investment, if any, will depend solely on an increase, if any, in the market value of our common stock.


We have the right to issue additional common stock without the consent of shareholders. This would have the effect of diluting your ownership in the company and could decrease the value of your stock.


There are additional authorized but unissued shares of our common stock that may be later issued by our management for any purpose without the consent or vote of the stockholders that would dilute a stockholder’s percentage ownership of the company. Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 75,000,000 shares of common stock.

ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION


The following discussion highlights the principal factors that have affected our financial condition and results of operations as well as our liquidity and capital resources for the periods described. This discussion contains forward-looking statements. Please see “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these forward-looking statements.


The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based on Alco Energy’s financial statements, which Alco Energy has prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. You should read the discussion and analysis together with such financial statements and the related notes thereto.


Overview


We are an early stage oil and gas company led by an experienced management team and focused on drilling, production, and acquisition of crude oil and natural gas. Our primary operations will be centered in Morgan County in the eastern part of Tennessee.




18





Plan of Operations


Alco Energy’s strategy is to pursue selected opportunities that are characterized by reasonable entry costs, favorable economic terms, high reserve potential relative to capital expenditures and the availability of existing technical data that may be further developed using current technology.


We seek to achieve attractive returns on capital for the benefit of stockholders through investment in developmental plays, rather than exploratory. In this way we hope to maintain a strong balance sheet to enable us to be flexible from an operational and financial standpoint.


We expect to generate long-term reserve and production growth through drilling activities and further acquisitions. We believe that our management’s experience and expertise will enable us to identify, evaluate, and develop crude oil and natural gas projects.


While we anticipate the majority of future capital expenditures will be expended on the drilling of wells, we intend to use our experience and regional expertise to add leasehold interests to the inventory of leases for future drilling activities, as well as property acquisitions.


Overall, during the next 12 months, we cannot predict accurately the amount of capital that we will need to accomplish our plan of operations. The amount of capital needed will vary depending on the business model approach that we undertake as described above. If during the next 12 months, we are unsuccessful in effectuating our plan of operations as described above, we expect to incur total expenditures of at least $500,000. In this regard and during such period; we anticipate spending $20,000 on professional fees attributable to fulfilling our reporting obligations under the federals securities laws and $50,000 on general administrative costs and expenditures associated with complying with reporting obligations.  The balance will be used to buy interests in oil and gas leases.  We anticipate that additional funding will be required in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we cannot provide inv estors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund our marketing plan and operations. We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding the marketing plan. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing. If we are required to raise additional funds, substantial dilution may result to existing shareholders. Our auditor’s have raised substantial doubt concerning our ability to continue as a going concern. Please see our audited financial statements contained in our Form 10-K for the period ended June 30, 2007.


Disciplined Acquisition Strategy


We intend to acquire producing oil and gas properties where we believe significant additional value can be created. Management is primarily interested in developmental properties where some combination of these factors exist: (1) opportunities for long production life with stable production levels; (2) geological formations with multiple producing horizons; (3) substantial exploitation potential; and (4) relatively low capital investment production costs.


Exploitation of Properties


We intend to maximize the value of properties through a combination of successful drilling, increasing recoverable reserves and reducing operating costs. We employ a latest technology such as directional and horizontal drilling. These methods have historically produced oil and gas at faster rates and with lower operating costs basis than traditional vertical drilling.




19





Experienced and Dedicated Personnel


The Company has an experienced team with direct exploration and production experience in the State of Tennessee, along with experience in the states of Kentucky and Texas.


We intend to maintain a highly competitive team of experienced and technically proficient employees and motivate them through a positive work environment and stock ownership. We believe that employee ownership, which is encouraged through the stock option plan, is essential for attracting, retaining and motivating qualified personnel.


Results of Operations for the Three Month Period Ended June 30, 2008 and the Year Ended June 30, 2008


We did not earn any revenues for the Year Ended June 30, 2008.


During the three month period ended June 30, 2008, we incurred operating expenses in the amount of $5,239. These operating expenses were comprised of accounting and audit fees of $1,500, general and management expenses of $3,639, and transfer agent fees of $100.


During the Year Ended June 30, 2008, we incurred operating expenses in the amount of $44,631. These operating expenses were comprised of accounting and audit fees of $7,140, general and management expenses of $26,075, and transfer agent fees of $11,416


As at June 30, 2008, we had total assets of $0 and total liabilities of $5,307.


The former President of the Company provided management services to the Company at $500 per month, with $2,000 in expenses incurred in fiscal year 2007 and $4,500 in fiscal year 2008.


During the period ended June 30, 2007, the former President of the Company provided a $10,000 loan to the Company. The loan was unsecured and bore interest at 6.45% per annum. The $10,000 loan and $504 in accrued interest plus $6,297 in working capital advances, less fixed assets of $1,573 exchanged against the advances, left a balance due to the former President of $15,228, which he contributed to the Company’s capital in April 2008.  In 2008, a current Officer advanced the Company $2,390 for working capital.


Commencing in April 2008 the Company began paying rent of $700 per month plus costs for office space under a month to month lease held in the name of a corporation under common control. Rent expense in 2008 was $2,610.


We have not generated any revenue since inception and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue marketing and distribution activities. For these reasons, our auditors believe that there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


As of June 30, 2008, the Company had no cash balance.


Through June 30, 2008, we had sold $42,000 in equity securities to pay for our business operations. We sold 13,500,000 shares of common stock to 30 unaffiliated shareholders on August 23, 2007 for total proceeds of $36,000 pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act.  We subsequently filed a Registration



20





Statement on the Form SB-2 for this offering on October 2, 2007 and became effective on October 12, 2007. We have used these funds as working capital for administrative expenses and professional fee payments to third parties.  Also, we sold 18,000,000 shares of common stock to our officer and directors on June 29, 2007 and August 6, 2007 for total proceeds of $36,000 pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act


The Company expects significant capital expenditures during the next 12 months, contingent upon its ability to raise the required capital. These anticipated expenditures are for seismic data acquisitions, land and drilling rights acquisitions, drilling programs, overhead and working capital purposes.


If the Company is not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising sufficient capital resources, on terms acceptable to it, this could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations liquidity and financial condition.


The Company presently does not have any available credit, bank financing or other external sources of liquidity, other than the net proceeds from the Offering. Due to its brief history and historical operating losses, the Company’s operations have not been a source of liquidity. The Company will need to obtain additional capital in order to expand operations and become profitable. In order to obtain capital, the Company may need to sell additional shares of its common stock or borrow funds from private lenders. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining additional funding.


The Company will need additional investments in order to continue operations. Additional investments are being sought, but the Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to obtain such investments. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of the Company’s common stock and a downturn in the U.S. stock and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if the Company is able to raise the funds required, it is possible that it could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to it, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force it to seek alternative financing. Further, if the Company issues additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity se curities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of the Company’s common stock. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, the Company will have to curtail its operations.


Critical Accounting Policies


Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates, and the recognition of revenues and expenses for the reporting periods. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's application of accounting policies.


Contractual Obligations


The Company has no contractual obligations.


Off-Balance Sheet Commitments and Arrangements




21





We have not entered into any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. In addition, we have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our own shares and classified as shareholder’s equity, or that are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. Moreover, we do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.


Inflation


Inflation has not materially impacted our results of operations in recent years.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



Board of Directors

Alco Energy Corp.

Mississauga, Ontario

Canada


I have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Alco Energy Corp. (a development stage company) as of June 30, 2007 and 2008 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the period from February 22, 2007 (inception) through June 30, 2007, the year ended June 30, 2008, and the period from February 22, 2007 (inception) through June 30, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.


I conducted my audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.


In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material  respects, the financial position of Alco Energy Corp. as of June 30, 2007 and 2008 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the period from February 22, 2007 (inception) through June 30, 2007, the year ended June 30, 2008, and the period from February 22, 2007 (inception) through June 30, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 (A Development Stage Company)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2008


Note 1

Nature and Continuance of Operations


Organization


The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada, United States of America on February 22, 2007 and its fiscal year end is June 30.  The Company is engaged in the design, manufacture and distribution of lifestyle inspired apparel, which will be sold through a network of wholesale accounts and retail outlets.


Going Concern


These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.  The Company has a working capital deficiency of $5,307, and has an accumulated deficit of $55,728 since inception.  Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.  The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time. These factors raise substantial doubt that the company will be able to continue as a going concern. The Company to date has funded its initial operations through the issuance of common stock and related party loans and advances. Management plans to continue to provide for its capital needs by the issuance of common stock and related part y advances.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.


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 management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:




30





Alco Energy Corp. (Startale Group Inc.)

(A Development Stage Company)

Notes to the Financial Statements

June 30, 2008

Page 2


Development Stage Company


The Company complies with Financial Accounting Standard Board Statement (“FAS”) No. 7 and The Securities and Exchange Commission Act Guide 7 for its characterization of the Company as development stage.


Cash and cash equivalents


The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents.


Revenue Recognition


Sales are recognized when revenue is realized or realizable and has been earned. The Company's policy is to recognize revenue when risk of loss and title to the product transfers to the customer. Net sales is comprised of gross revenues less expected returns, trade discounts and customer allowances, which include costs associated with off-invoice mark-downs and other price reductions, as well as trade promotions and coupons. These incentive costs are recognized at the later of the date on which the Company recognizes the related revenue or the date on which the Company offers the incentive.


Impairment of Long-lived Assets


Capital assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with FAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets”, which was adopted effective January 1, 2002.  Under FAS No. 144, these assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.  An impairment charge is recognized for the amount, if any, which the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value.


Research and Development


Research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred.


Foreign Currency Translation


The financial statements are presented in United States dollars.  In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”, since the functional currency of the Company is U.S. dollars, the foreign currency financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries are re-measured into U.S. dollars.  Monetary assets and liabilities are re-measured using the foreign exchange rate that prevailed at the balance sheet date.  Revenue and expenses are translated at weighted average rates of

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (cont’d)


exchange during the year and stockholders’ equity accounts and furniture and equipment are translated by using historical exchange rates.  Any re-measurement gain or loss incurred is reported in the income statement.


Net Loss per Share


Basic loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Dilutive losses per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the losses of the Company.  Because the Company does not have any potentially dilutive securities, the accompanying presentation is only of basic loss per share.


Stock-based Compensation


The Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.  Accordingly no stock-based compensation has been recorded to date.


Income Taxes


The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with FAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”.  Under this method, 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 loss carryforwards 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.  


Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments consisting of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, agreement payable and due to related party approximate their carrying value due to the short-term maturity of such instruments.  Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.  


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measures”. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), expands disclosures about fair value measurements, and

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – (cont’d)


applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. However, the FASB anticipates that for some entities, the application of SFAS No. 157 will change current practice. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which for the Company would be the fiscal year beginning February 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 but does not expect that it will have a material impact on its financial statements.


In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans.” This Statement requires an employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined benefit post retirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position, and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income.  SFAS No. 158 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006 which for the Company would be February 1, 2007. The Company does not expect that the implementation of SFAS No. 158 will have any material impact on its financial position and results of operations.


In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB No. 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. SAB No. 108 is effective for periods ending after November 15, 2006 which for the Company would be February 1, 2007.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SAB No. 108 but does not expect that it will ha ve a material effect on its financial statements.


In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its financial position and results of operations.

Notes to the Financial Statements

June 30, 2008

Page 5


In December 2007, the FASB issued two new statements: (a.) SFAS No. 141(revised 2007), Business Combinations, and (b.) No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements.  These statements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and the application of these standards will improve, simplify and converge internationally the accounting for business combinations and the reporting of noncontrolling interests in consolidated financial statements.  The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, on SFAS 141 (R) and SFAS 160 and does not anticipate that the adoption of these standards will have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.


(a.)  SFAS No. 141 (R) requires an acquiring entity in a business combination to: (i) recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in the transaction, (ii) establish an acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, and (iii) disclose to investors and other users all of the information they will need to evaluate and understand the nature of, and the financial effect of, the business combination, and, (iv) recognize and measure the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase.


(b.) SFAS No. 160 will improve the relevance, comparability and transparency of financial information provided to investors by requiring all entities to: (i) report noncontrolling (minority) interests in subsidiaries in the same manner, as equity but separate from the parent’s equity, in consolidated financial statements, (ii) net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest must be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income, and (iii) any changes in the parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains the controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently.  


Note 3

Capital Stock


On June 24, 2008, the Company executed the previously announced 3 for 1 stock split of the outstanding common shares.  The number of common shares issued and outstanding in these financial statements have been restated to give effect to this stock split.


The total number of common shares authorized that may be issued by the Company is 75,000,000 shares with a par value of one cent ($0.001) per share and no other class of shares is authorized.


During the period from February 22, 2007 (inception) to June 30, 2007, the Company issued 15,000,000 shares of common stock to its directors for total proceeds of $5,000.


On August 1, 2007, the Company issued:

 -  3,000,000 common shares at $0.000333 per share to its director for gross proceeds of $1,000; and

 -  13,500,000 common shares at $0.000333 per share for gross proceeds of $36,000, and net proceeds of $29,193 after offerings costs of $6,807.  


To June 30, 2008, the Company has not granted any stock options and has not recorded any stock-based compensation.  



Note 4

Related Party Transactions


a)

The former President of the Company provided management services to the Company at $500 per month, with $2,000 in expenses incurred in fiscal year 2007 and $4,500 in fiscal year 2008.


b)

During the period ended June 30, 2007, the former President of the Company provided a $10,000 loan to the Company. The loan was unsecured and bore interest at 6.45% per annum. The $10,000 loan and $504 in accrued interest plus $6,297 in working capital advances, less fixed assets of $1,573 exchanged against the advances, left a balance due to the former President of $15,228, which he contributed to the Company’s capital in April 2008.


c)   In 2008 a current Officer advanced the Company $2,390 for working capital.


d)  Commencing in April 2008 the Company began paying rent of $700 per month plus costs for office space under a month to month lease held in the name of a corporation under common control. Rent expense in 2008 was $2,610.


Note 5

Income Taxes


Deferred income taxes arise from the temporary differences between financial statement and income tax recognition of net operating losses. These loss carryovers are limited under the Internal Revenue Code should a significant change in ownership occur.


At June 30, 2007 and 2008 the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $11,000 and $56,000 which begin to expire in 2027. The deferred tax asset of $1,600 and $7,000 created by the net operating losses has been offset by a 100% valuation allowance. The change in the valuation allowance in 2007 and 2008 was $1,600 and $5,400.

ITEM 9 - CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE


None.



ITEM 9A - EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2008, being the date of our most recently completed fiscal year. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Bill Akrivos. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the SEC.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.

 

The term “internal control over financial reporting” is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the registrant’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the registrant’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

(a)

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the registrant;

 

(b)

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the registrant are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the registrant; and

 

(c)

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the registrant’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 



36





In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2008, certain additional internal control weaknesses became evident to Mr. Akrivos, that, in the aggregate, represent material weakness, including:

 

(a)

Lack of segregation of incompatible duties;


(b)

Insufficient Board of Directors representation; and unsatisfactory outside oversight of Company activities due to this lack of additional board members, particularly any from outside the Company


(c)

Lack of effective oversight in an audit committee, or additional management necessary to effectively oversee audit related activities or company spending, with capital constraints making resolution of these inadequacies exceptionally difficult; this is particularly acute in that the Company’s internal controls with respect to financial reporting are not effective, and additional resources are needed to remedy this situation.


(d)

Lack of sufficient personnel in the Company’s finance and accounting department who have knowledge of complex accounting and financial reporting matters.


In accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, 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 fiscal year-end 2009 assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. As part of resolving these weaknesses, the company plans on:

 

(a)

Attempting to raise additional capital for the purpose of adding additional management personnel in the area of finance and operations

 

(b)

Attempting to increase, the number of members of our Board of Directors from one to three, with at least one being from outside the company

 

(c)

Forming a finance and audit oversight committee, which meets monthly, and includes the acting CFO

 

(d)

Instituting spending limits, with additional sign–off controls necessary for any expenditures above certain levels, when additional personnel are available

Changes in Control


There are no arrangements which may result in a change in control of the Company.



ITEM 13 - CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS, RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE


Certain Relationships and Related Transactions


The former President of the Company, Anatoli Nem, provided management services to the Company at $500 per month, with $2,000 in expenses incurred in fiscal year 2007 and $4,500 in fiscal year 2008.




42





During the period ended June 30, 2007, the former President of the Company provided a $10,000 loan to the Company. The loan was unsecured and bore interest at 6.45% per annum. The $10,000 loan and $504 in accrued interest plus $6,297 in working capital advances, less fixed assets of $1,573 exchanged against the advances, left a balance due to the former President of $15,228, which he contributed to the Company’s capital in April 2008.


In 2008 a current Officer, Bill Akrivos, advanced the Company $2,390 for working capital.


Commencing in April 2008 the Company began paying rent of $700 per month plus costs for office space under a month to month lease held in the name of a corporation under common control. Rent expense in 2008 was $2,610.


Director Independence


We are not subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements that a majority of the board of directors be “independent” and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our Board comprised of a majority of “Independent Directors.”

Audit Committee’s Pre-Approval Practice


Insomuch as we do not have an audit committee, our board of directors performs the functions of an audit committee. Section 10A(i) of the Exchange Act prohibits our auditors from performing audit services for us as well as any services not considered to be “audit services” unless such services are pre-approved by the board of directors (in lieu of the audit committee) or unless the services meet certain de minimis standards.
