Background of Executive Officers


The biographies of Messrs. Robertson and Vandeberg can be found on pages 3 and 4.


STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION


The Company is required, under applicable securities legislation in Canada, to disclose to its Shareholders details of compensation paid to its directors and officers.  The following fairly reflects all material information regarding compensation paid by the Company to its directors and officers, which information has been disclosed to the Company's Shareholders in accordance with applicable Canadian law.


Executive Compensation


Compensation Discussion and Analysis


The Company’s executive officers make recommendations to the board of directors regarding compensation policies and the compensation of senior officers.  The Company does not have a Compensation Committee.  The compensation of the senior executives comprises two components; namely, a base salary or consulting fees and the grant of stock options pursuant to the Company’s stock option plan which is more particularly outlined below under the Option-based Awards section.   These forms of compensation are chosen to attract, retain and motivate the performance of selected directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Company of high caliber and potential.  Each senior executive is employed for his or her skills to perform specific tasks and the base salary and number of options is fixed accordingly.


Option-based Awards


The grant of option-based awards to the senior executives is determined by the recommendation of executive officers to the board of directors pursuant to the terms of the stock option plan referred to below. Previous grants of option-based awards are taken into account when considering new grants.


The options are always granted at market price. The valuation of the fair value of the options at the time of the grant is based on the Black Scholes model and includes the following assumptions: weighted average risk free rate, weighted average expected life, expected volatility and dividend yield.  


During the year ended April 30, 2009, no option-based awards for executives were granted.  However, the Company extended the term on 75,000 options for a further three years to an executive.  The fair value of the original options was deducted from the fair value of the modified options for a difference of $5,912.

– 10 –



Directors of the Company who are also NEOs are not compensated for their services in their capacity as directors, although directors of the Company are reimbursed for their expenses incurred in connection with their services as directors.


Information with respect to grants of options to the directors is reported below under the Narrative Description in the section below entitled Outstanding Option-Based Awards, Share-Based Awards and Non-equity Incentive Plan Compensation.


Other than as described above, no directors of the Company were compensated by the Company during the financial year ended April 30, 2009 for services as consultants or experts.

  

Option-Based Awards, Share-Based Awards and Non-equity Incentive Plan Compensation for Directors


As disclosed under the Director Compensation Table, the Company does not have a share-based award plan, a pension plan or a non-equity incentive plan for its directors.


Option-based awards to the directors are granted pursuant to the terms of the Company’s stock option plan.  The options are always granted at market price.  The valuation of the fair value of the options at the time of the grant is based on the Black Scholes model and includes the following assumptions; weighted average risk free rate, weighted average expected life, expected volatility and dividend yield.   


Directors generally receive a grant of stock options upon their appointment.


During the most recently completed year, no stock options were granted to any directors.


Non-Cash Compensation


No stock options were granted by the Company during the financial year ended April 30, 2009 to the directors who are not a Named Executive Officer of the Company.


There were no exercises of stock options during the financial year ended April 30, 2009 by the directors who are not the Named Executive Officer, and the financial year end value of unexercised options.  There were 225,000 unexercised options at the financial year end held by one director who is not a Named Executive Officer, 125,000 of which were in-the-money.


Incentive Plan Awards Tables


175,000 stock options, which were held by the non-executive directors, vested during the 2009 year.


Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance


Based solely upon a review of Forms 3, 4 and 5 furnished to the Company, other than Mr. Vandeberg, who furnished no Forms to the Company during the year, no officer, director or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of the Common Stock of the Company failed to file on a timely basis reports required to be filed by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during the most recent fiscal year.


STATEMENT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES


In accordance with disclosure requirements, the Board of Directors of the Company has adopted the following corporate governance practices.


Board of Directors


The Board of Directors is composed of two directors.  Both of these directors are executive officers of the Company.  At this time, the Company has no directors which could be considered “independent”.

Orientation and Education


The Company does not have a formal process of orientation for new directors.  Historically such orientation and education is provided on an informal basis.  As new directors join the Board, management will provide these individuals with corporate policies, historical information, and an outline of general duties.  The Board believes these procedures are a practical and effective approach due to the size of the company and the limited number of changes to the board.


Ethical Business Conduct


The Board has not adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics for directors, officers and employees of the Company.


Nomination of Directors


The Board has not appointed a formal nominating committee.  


Compensation


The Board is responsible for reviewing and approving the compensation for all officers, management and employees.  The Board is also responsible for reviewing compensation programs such as the stock option plan and is solely responsible for the granting of any stock options to any officer, management, employees or consultants.


Report on Executive Compensation


The Board of Directors, when performing equivalent functions of a Compensation Committee, bases their decisions on very simplistic policies.


When deciding the method and amount of compensation, the Board of Directors base their decision on the following criteria and factors:


1.

level of services, expertise, business contacts and skills provided to the Company;

2.

degree of involvement and participation in the day to day operations of the Company;

3.

amount of finances available to the Company; and

4.

amount of outstanding options already granted.


At this time there is no relationship between corporate performance and executive compensation.


Other Board Committees


The Board currently has one committee being the Audit Committee.


Assessments


Based on the Company’s size and its current state of development the Board considers a formal process for assessing to be unnecessary at this time.




– 12 –



Audit Committee


Our Audit Committee consists of the entire Board of Directors of the Company and is comprised of seasoned business professionals, whereby the members each have over 30 years of experience in the investment business, are board members of several corporations and one of the members is an attorney whose practice focuses on the corporate finance area, with an emphasis on securities and acquisitions. On this basis, we believe that the audit committee has adequate resources available to it when financial expertise and advice are necessary.

Despite being comprised of our entire Board of Directors, our Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities relating to the Company’s corporate accounting and reporting practices.  The Audit Committee is responsible for ensuring that management has established appropriate processes for monitoring the Company’s systems and procedures for financial reporting and controls, reviewing all financial information in disclosure documents; monitoring the performance and fees and expenses of the Company’s external auditors and recommending external auditors for appointment by shareholders.  The Audit Committee is also responsible for reviewing the Company’s annual financial statements prior to approval by the Board and release to the public.  Currently the members are John Robertson, Jennifer Lorette and  James Vandeberg .


Board of Directors Meetings


The Company held no Board meetings during fiscal 2009.  The Company acted by written consent on ten (10) occasions adopted by all directors during the April 2009 fiscal year.

Board Members' Attendance at Annual Meetings


It is our policy that our directors are invited and encouraged to attend all of our annual meetings. At the time of our previous annual meeting of shareholders, we had three directors, two of whom were in attendance.


PROPOSAL NO. 1 - ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

General


The Company’s Bylaws (“Bylaws”) provide that the number of directors must fall within a range of 2 to 9, the exact number to be determined by the shareholders.  Direc­tors are elected for a term of one year and until their successors have been elected and qualified.  There are currently three (3) directors of the Company:  John Robertson, Jennifer Lorette and James Vandeberg.


Unless the authority to vote for directors has been withheld in the proxy, the persons named in the enclosed proxy intend to vote at the Annual Meeting for the election of Messrs. Robertson and Vandeberg and Ms. Lorette. Although it is anticipated that each nominee will be available to serve as a director, should a nominee become unavailable to serve, the proxies will be voted for such other person as may be designated by our Board of Directors.  Directors hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until their respective successors are elected or until their earlier death, resignation or removal.


REQUIRED VOTE AND BOARD RECOMMENDATION


Assuming a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting, the three nominees for director receiving the highest number of affirmative votes will be elected; votes withheld and votes against a nominee have no practical effect. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present for this proposal, but will not be included in the vote totals for this proposal and, therefore, will have no effect on the vote.


THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS VOTING FOR ALL NOMINEES FOR THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

Smythe Ratcliffe LLP’s audit report of the Company’s financial statements for each of the years ended April 30, 2008 and 2007 included language expressing substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The audit report contained no other adverse adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

As such, in connection with these audits of the fiscal years ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, and during the period from April 30, 2008 to September 25, 2008, there were no disagreements between the Company and Smythe Ratcliffe LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Smythe Ratcliffe LLP’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection in their reports on the financial statements of the Company for such periods.

None of the reportable events described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B, as relied upon during the period of their audit reports, occurred during the years ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, nor during the period from April 30, 2008 to September 25, 2008.

The Company has provided Smythe Ratcliffe LLP with a copy of the foregoing disclosure, and requested that Smythe Ratcliffe furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with such disclosure. The Company has filed, as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K/A, a copy of the letter from Smythe Ratliffe LLP, dated October 15, 2008, stating their agreement with such statements, as required by Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-B.

(b) On September 25, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company engaged the accounting firm of James Stafford, Chartered Accountants and appointed it as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm, effective September 25, 2008.

During the two most recent fiscal years ended April 30, 2008 and 2007 prior to the engagement of James Stafford, Chartered Accountants, the Company did not consult with James Stafford, Chartered Accountants with regard to (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements; and further, James Stafford, Chartered Accountants have not provided written or oral advice to the Company that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B).

The decision to change principal auditors and the engagement of the new principal auditor was recommended and approved by the Company's Board of Directors.
