PART I

Forward Looking Statements.

This report contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are projections in respect of future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “intends”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential”, or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in Item 1A “Risk Factors” commencing on page 5 of this report, which may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity or performance to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity or performance expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity or performance. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

In this report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars and all references to “common shares” refer to the common shares in our capital stock.

As used in this report and unless otherwise indicated, the terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Tuscany Minerals, Ltd.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

We were incorporated on October 5, 2000 under the laws of the state of Nevada. On May 17, 2006, we incorporated a wholly-owned Washington subsidiary for the sole purpose of redomiciling to the State of Washington through a merger with our subsidiary. Effective June 26, 2006, we merged with and into our subsidiary, Tuscany Minerals, Ltd., a Washington company, with the surviving company being Tuscany Minerals, Ltd., the Washington company. As a result of this transaction, we have redomiciled from the State of Nevada to the State of Washington. The existing bylaws of Tuscany Minerals, Ltd., the Washington company, remain as the bylaws of the surviving corporation. On October 9, 2008, we incorporated a wholly-owned Wyoming corporation.

We are an exploration stage company that has not yet generated or realized any revenues from our business operations. Our company does not currently own any property interests.

As an exploration stage company, we are currently seeking opportunities to acquire prospective or existing mineral properties, prospective or producing oil and gas properties or other oil and gas resource related projects. We are also seeking opportunities outside of the resources sector. Simultaneously, we are seeking business opportunities with established business entities for the merger of a target business with our company. In certain instances, a target business may wish to become a subsidiary of us or may wish to contribute assets to us rather than merge. We are currently in negotiations with one party to enter into a business opportunity but we have not entered into any definitive agreement to date and there can be no assurance that we will be able to enter into any definitive agreement. We anticipate that any new acquisition or business opportunities by our company will require additional financing. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to acquire the financing necessary to enable us to pursue our plan of operation. If our company requires additional financing and we are unable to acquire such funds, our business may fail.

Management of our company believes that there are perceived benefits to being a reporting company with a class of publicly-traded securities. These are commonly thought to include: (i) the ability to use registered securities to acquire assets or businesses; (ii) increased visibility in the financial community; (iii) the facilitation of borrowing from financial institutions; (iv) improved trading efficiency; (v) stockholder liquidity; (vi) greater ease in subsequently raising capital; (vii) compensation of key employees through stock options; (viii) enhanced corporate image; and (ix) a presence in the United States capital market.

- 3 -


We may seek a business opportunity with entities who have recently commenced operations, or entities who wish to utilize the public marketplace in order to raise additional capital in order to expand business development activities, to develop a new product or service, or for other corporate purposes. We may acquire assets and establish wholly-owned subsidiaries in various businesses or acquire existing businesses as subsidiaries.

In implementing a structure for a particular business acquisition or opportunity, we may become a party to a merger, consolidation, reorganization, joint venture, or licensing agreement with another corporation or entity. We may also acquire stock or assets of an existing business. Upon the consummation of a transaction, it is likely that our present management will no longer be in control of our company. In addition, it is likely that our officer and director will, as part of the terms of the acquisition transaction, resign and be replaced by one or more new officers and directors.

As of the date hereof, management has not entered into any formal written agreements for a business combination or opportunity. When any such agreement is reached, we intend to disclose such an agreement by filing a current report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

We anticipate that the selection of a business opportunity in which to participate will be complex and without certainty of success. Management believes that there are numerous firms in various industries seeking the perceived benefits of being a publicly registered corporation. Business opportunities may be available in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to locate compatible business opportunities.

As an exploration stage company, we are not able to fund our cash requirements through our current operations. Historically, we have been able to raise a limited amount of capital through private placements of our equity stock, but we are uncertain about our continued ability to raise funds privately. Further, we believe that our company may have difficulties raising capital until we locate a prospective property through which we can pursue our plan of operation. If we are unable to secure adequate capital to continue our acquisition efforts, our shareholders may lose some or all of their investment and our business may fail.

Competition

We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition of a prospective mineral or oil and gas property and are also seeking other opportunities outside the resource sector. As we currently do not own an interest in a mineral or oil and gas property or in any other business, we compete with other companies for both the acquisition of prospective properties and businesses and the financing necessary to develop such properties or businesses.

We conduct our business in an environment that is highly competitive and unpredictable. In seeking out prospective properties and other businesses, we have encountered intense competition in all aspects of our proposed business as we compete directly with other development stage companies as well as established international companies. Many of our competitors are national or international companies with far greater resources, capital and access to information than us. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on the acquisition of prospective properties and on the exploration and development of such properties or the acquisition of other businesses. In addition, they may be able to afford greater geological expertise in the exploration and exploitation of mineral and oil and gas properties or greater expertise in other businesses. This competition could result in our competitors having resource properties or businesses of greater quality and attracting prospective investors to finance the development of such properties or businesses on more favorable terms. As a result of this competition, we may become involved in an acquisition with more risk or obtain financing on less favorable terms.

Compliance with Government Regulation

We will not know the government regulations and the cost of compliance with such regulations with which we must comply until such time as we acquire an interest in a particular mineral or oil and gas property or other business. If we are successful in acquiring a property interest or business, we will be required to comply with the regulations of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the federal, state or provincial and local jurisdictions where the property or business is located. Exploitation and development of mineral and oil and gas properties may require prior approval from applicable governmental regulatory agencies. There can be no assurance that such approvals will be obtained.

- 4 -


If our activities should advance to the point where we engage in mining or oil and gas operations, we could become subject to environmental regulations promulgated by federal, state or provincial, and local government agencies as applicable. Environmental legislation provides for restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with the mining and oil and gas industries which could result in environmental liability. A breach or violation of such legislation may result in the imposition of fines and penalties. In addition, certain types of operations require the submission and approval of environmental impact assessments. Environmental assessments are increasingly imposing higher standards, greater enforcement, fines and penalties for non-compliance. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for companies, directors, officers and employees. The cost of compliance in respect of environmental regulation has the potential to reduce the profitability of any future revenues that our company may generate.

Employees

Our company is currently operated by Ross Tocher as our president and chief executive officer and J. Stephen Barley as our chief financial officer, secretary, treasurer and director. We anticipate that we will be conducting most of our business through agreements with consultants and third parties. Ross Tocher and J. Stephen Barley do not have an employment agreement with us.

Subsidiaries

We have one wholly-owned Wyoming subsidiary.

Intellectual Property

We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patent or trademark.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Risks Related to our Business

Much of the information included in this annual report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other forward looking statements. Such forward looking statements include any projections and estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein.

Such estimates, projections or other forward looking statements involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other forward looking statements.

We have had negative cash flows from operations and if we are not able to obtain further financing, our business operations may fail.

We had cash in the amount of $659 and a working capital deficit of $650,303 as of December 31, 2008. We do not have sufficient funds to independently finance the acquisition of suitable business opportunities, nor do we have the funds to independently finance our daily operating costs. We do not expect to generate any revenues for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, we will require additional funds, either from equity or debt financing, to maintain our daily operations and to locate and acquire suitable business opportunities. Obtaining additional financing is subject to a number of factors, including market acceptance of projects, investor acceptance of any business opportunity we may acquire in the future, and investor sentiment. Financing, therefore, may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

- 5 -


The most likely source of future funds presently available to us is through the sale of equity capital. Any sale of share capital, however, will result in dilution to existing shareholders. If we are unable to raise additional funds when required, we may be forced to delay our plan of operation and our entire business may fail.

We currently do not generate revenues, and as a result, we face a high risk of business failure.

We do not hold an interest in any business or revenue generating property or business. From the date of our incorporation, we have primarily focused on the location and acquisition of mineral and oil and gas properties. We have not generated any revenues to date. In order to generate revenues, we will incur substantial expenses in the location, acquisition and development of a prospective property or the acquisition of a suitable business. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from our activities, our entire business may fail. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will be successful in our plan of operation, and we can provide no assurance to investors that we will generate any operating revenues or achieve profitable operations.

The worldwide macroeconomic downturn may reduce the ability of our company to obtain the financing necessary to continue our business and may reduce the number of viable businesses that we may wish to acquire.

In 2008 and 2009, there has been a downturn in general worldwide economic conditions due to many factors, including the effects of the subprime lending and general credit market crises, volatile but generally declining energy costs, slower economic activity, decreased consumer confidence and commodity prices, reduced corporate profits and capital spending, adverse business conditions, increased unemployment and liquidity concerns. In addition, these macroeconomic effects, including the resulting recession in various countries and slowing of the global economy, will likely result in decreased business opportunities as potential target companies face increased financial hardship. Tightening credit and liquidity issues will also result in increased difficulties for our company to raise capital for our continued operations and to consummate a business opportunity with a viable business.

Due to the speculative nature of the exploration of mineral and oil and gas properties, there is substantial risk that our business will fail.

The business of mineral and oil and gas exploration and development is highly speculative involving substantial risk. There is generally no way to recover any funds expended on a particular property unless reserves are established and unless we can exploit such reserves in an economic manner. We can provide investors with no assurance that any property interest that we may acquire will provide commercially exploitable reserves. Any expenditures by our company in connection with locating, acquiring and developing an interest in a mineral or oil and gas property may not provide or contain commercial quantities of reserves.

Even if we discover commercial reserves, we may not be able to successfully obtain commercial production.

Even if we are successful in acquiring an interest in a property that has proven commercial reserves of minerals or oil and gas, we will require significant additional funds in order to place the property into commercial production. We can provide no assurance to investors that we will be able to obtain the financing necessary to extract such reserves.

If we are unable to hire and retain key personnel, we may not be able to implement our plan of operation and our business may fail.

Our success will be largely dependent on our ability to hire and retain highly qualified personnel. This is particularly true in the highly technical businesses of mineral and oil and gas exploration. These individuals may be in high demand and we may not be able to attract the staff we need. In addition, we may not be able to afford the high salaries and fees demanded by qualified personnel, or we may fail to retain such employees after they are hired.

At present, we have not hired any key personnel. Our failure to hire key personnel when needed will have a significant negative effect on our business.

- 6 -


Because our executive officers do not have formal training specific to mineral and oil and gas exploration, there is a higher risk our business will fail.

While our sole director and executive officers have experience managing a mineral exploration company, they do not have formal training as a geologist. Accordingly, our management may not fully appreciate many of the specific requirements related to working within the mining and oil and gas industry. Our management decisions may not take into account standard engineering or managerial approaches commonly used by such companies. Consequently, our operations, earnings, and ultimate financial success could be negatively affected due to our management's lack of experience in the industry.

Our executive officers have other business interests, and as a result, they may not be willing or able to devote a sufficient amount of time to our business operations, thereby limiting the success of our company.

Ross Tocher, our president and chief executive officer, presently spends approximately 15% of his business time on business management services for our company and J. Stephen Barley, our chief financial officer, secretary, treasurer and director, presently spends approximately 15% of his business time on business management services for our company. At present, Mr. Tocher and Mr. Barley spend a reasonable amount of time in pursuit of our company’s interests. Due to the time commitments from Mr. Tocher and Mr. Barley’s other business interests, however, Mr. Tocher and Mr. Barley may not be able to provide sufficient time to the management of our business in the future and our business may be periodically interrupted or delayed as a result of Mr. Tocher and Mr. Barley’s other business interests.

Our common stock is illiquid and shareholders may be unable to sell their shares.

There is currently a limited market for our common stock and we can provide no assurance to investors that a market will develop. If a market for our common stock does not develop, our shareholders may not be able to re-sell the shares of our common stock that they have purchased and they may lose all of their investment. Public announcements regarding our company, changes in government regulations, conditions in our market segment or changes in earnings estimates by analysts may cause the price of our common shares to fluctuate substantially. In addition, stock prices for junior mining and oil and gas companies fluctuate widely for reasons that may be unrelated to their operating results. These fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common shares.

Penny stock rules will limit the ability of our stockholders to sell their stock.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "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 Securities and Exchange Commission which 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 customer's 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 customer's 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 purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements 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.

- 7 -


The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted sales practice requirements which may also limit a shareholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the "penny stock" rules described above, FINRA 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 customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA 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 and have an adverse effect on the market for its shares.

We know of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

Plan of Operations and Cash Requirements over the Next 12 Months

We are a junior exploration stage company that has not yet generated or realized any revenues from our business operations. Our company does not currently own any property interests.

We are currently seeking opportunities to acquire prospective or existing mineral properties, prospective or producing oil and gas properties or other oil and gas resource related projects. Simultaneously, we are seeking business opportunities with established business entities for the merger of a target business with our company including businesses not having a resource focus. In certain instances, a target business may wish to become a subsidiary of us or may wish to contribute assets to us rather than merge. We are currently in negotiations with one party to enter into a business opportunity but we have not entered into any definitive agreements to date and there can be no assurance that we will be able to enter into any definitive agreements. We anticipate that any new acquisition or business opportunities by our company will require additional financing. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to acquire the financing necessary to enable us to pursue our plan of operation. If our company requires additional financing and we are unable to acquire such funds, our business may fail.

Even if we are able to acquire an interest in a mineral or oil and gas property or enter into a non-resource business opportunity and obtain the necessary funding, there is no assurance that any revenues would be generated by us or that revenues generated would be sufficient to provide a return to investors.

Anticipated Cash Requirements

We anticipate that we will incur the following expenses over the next twelve months:

1.

$25,000 in connection with our company locating, evaluating and negotiating potential business opportunities;

   
2.

$10,000 for operating expenses, including professional legal and accounting expenses associated with our company being a reporting issuer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and

   
3.

$63,000 for management, advisory and administrative costs payable pursuant to the terms of the consulting agreement with CHM Financial Services Inc.

We will incur additional expenses if we are successful in entering into an agreement to acquire an interest in a prospective or existing mineral property, a prospective or producing oil or gas property or a non-resource business opportunity. If we acquire any property interests, we will require significant funds to develop the property in addition to any acquisition costs. It is not possible to estimate such funding requirements until such time as we enter into a definitive agreement to acquire an interest in a property or enter into a business combination.

We require a minimum of approximately $98,000 to proceed with our plan of operation over the next twelve months, exclusive of any acquisition or development costs. This amount may also increase if we are required to carry out due diligence investigations in regards to any prospective property or business opportunity or if the costs of negotiating the applicable transaction are greater than anticipated. As we had cash in the amount of $659 and a working capital deficit in the amount of $650,303 as of December 31, 2008, we do not have sufficient working capital to enable us to carry out our stated plan of operation for the next twelve months. On January 28, 2009, and subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2008, we issued a $9,188 promissory note to In Touch Digital Media Inc., a wholly-owned company of Ross Tocher, an officer of our company. The promissory note bears 8% interest, is unsecured and is payable on demand. Additionally, we issued a $23,293 promissory note to In Touch Digital Media Inc. on February 18, 2009 under the same terms. Although the issuance of the promissory notes provided funds for short-term obligations, we require additional significant funds in order to eliminate our working capital deficiency and fund our plan of operations. We plan to complete private placement sales of our common stock in order to raise the funds necessary to pursue our plan of operation and to fund our working capital deficit in order to enable us to pay our accounts payable and accrued liabilities. We currently do not have any arrangements in place for the completion of any private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any private placement financings.

- 10 -


Due to the current financial crisis, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed or, if available, on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain additional financing on a timely basis, we may not be able to meet our obligations as they come due and may be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease business operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our financial position as at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and the changes for the years then ended are as follows:

Working Capital

Current Liabilities   (650,962 )   (547,125 )
Working Capital $  (650,303 ) $  (545,891 )

Our working capital deficiency increased from $545,891 at December 31, 2007 to $650,303 at December 31, 2008 as a result of incurring operational expenses during the period. On January 28, 2009, and subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2008, we issued a $9,188 promissory note to In Touch Digital Media Inc., a wholly-owned company of Ross Tocher, an officer of our company. The promissory note bears 8% interest, is unsecured and is payable on demand. Additionally, we issued a $23,293 promissory note to In Touch Digital Media Inc. on February 18, 2009 under the same terms. Although the issuance of the promissory notes provided funds for short-term obligations, we require additional significant funds in order to eliminate our working capital deficiency and fund our plan of operations.

Cash, End of Year $  659   $  1,234  

During the year ended December 31, 2008, our net cash used in operating activities increased due to an increased net loss for the year as compared to the year ended December 31, 2007. During the year ended December 31, 2008, our net cash from financing activities increased over the prior period ended December 31, 2007 due to funds provided from notes payable that were issued to related parties.

Results of Operations for year ended December 31, 2008

The following summary should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 included herein.

                   Professional fees   54,634     33,802  
Total expenses $  104,412   $  74,191  
Net Loss $  104,412   $  74,191  

Revenue

We are a development stage company and have not generated any revenues from our business operations since inception. Our company does not currently own any property interests.

Expenses

Our operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $104,412 compared to $74,191 for the year ended December 31, 2007. This increase in operating expenses of $30,221 was primarily due to minor increases in filing and stock transfer fees and interest expense which were offset by minor decreases in office and sundry. Larger increases in expenses consisted of a $6,287 increase in management fees resulted from the entry into a new consulting agreement with CHM Financial Services Inc., which is a wholly-owned company of our sole director. Our company also incurred a $20,832 increase in professional fees which consisted mostly of legal fees incurred in connection with our company’s compliance with securities laws.

Going Concern

Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, in their report on the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern.

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as the continuation of our business is dependent upon our company locating and acquiring a business opportunity, and achieving a profitable level of operation. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current shareholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures of our company. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions that our company may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from such estimates.

Cash

Cash consists of cash on deposit with high quality major financial institutions, and to date has not experienced losses on any of its balances. The carrying amounts approximated fair market value due to the liquidity of these deposits.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

- 12 -


Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

Our company computes loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128 – “Earnings Per Share” (“SFAS No. 128”). Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the periods. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common stock outstanding during the period. As our company generated net losses in the period presented, the basic and diluted loss per share is the same as any exercise of options or warrants would anti-dilutive.

Financial Instruments

Our company’s financial instruments consist of cash on deposit, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable and promissory note payable.

Management of our company does not believe that our company is subject to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The respective carrying values of financial instruments approximate their fair values. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values since they are short term in nature or they are receivable or payable on demand.

Income Taxes

Our company has adopted SFAS No. 109 – “Accounting for Income taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”). This standard requires the use of an asset and liability approach for financial accounting, and reporting on income taxes. If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Advisory Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of Statement 133 with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after November 15, 2008. Our company will adopt SFAS 161 in December, 2009. Management has not determined the effect that adopting this statement would have on our company’s financial position or results of operations.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” or SFAS 162. SFAS 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. GAAP for nongovernmental entities. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the Securities and Exchange Commission’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. Our company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 162 but does not expect that it will have a significant effect on our financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP 14-1”). FSP 14-1 requires issuers of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash to separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in periods subsequent to adoption. Upon adoption of FSP 14-1, our company will allocate a portion of the proceeds received from the issuance of convertible notes between a liability and equity component by determining the fair value of the liability component using our company’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate.

- 13 -


The difference between the proceeds of the notes and the fair value of the liability component will be recorded as a discount on the debt with a corresponding offset to paid-in-capital. The resulting discount will be accreted by recording additional non-cash interest expense over the expected life of the convertible notes using the effective interest rate method. The provisions of FSP 14-1 are to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon adoption and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Our company is in the process of evaluating the impact FSP 14-1 will have on our company’s financial position and results of operations upon adoption.

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 position, revenues and expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

(Stated in U.S. Dollars)

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Directors and Stockholders of
Tuscany Minerals, Ltd.
(An Exploration Stage Company)

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Tuscany Minerals, Ltd. (an exploration stage company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2008, and for the cumulative period from October 5, 2000 (date of inception) to December 31, 2008, and stockholders’ equity (deficiency) for the cumulative period from October 5, 2000 (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 the audit to obtain reasonable assurance 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 audits 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 Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2008, and for the cumulative period from October 5, 2000 (date of inception) to December 31, 2008, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming 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, has negative cash flows, has a stockholders’ deficiency and is dependent upon obtaining adequate financing to fulfil its development activities and upon future profitable operations from the development of any mineral properties that it may acquire. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN

     
a)

Organization

     

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada, U.S.A., on October 5, 2000. The Company’s principal executive officers are in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

     

On May 17, 2006, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned Washington subsidiary for the sole purpose of redomiciling to the State of Washington through a merger with our subsidiary. Effective June 26, 2006, the Company merged with and into its subsidiary, Tuscany Minerals, Ltd., a Washington company, with the surviving company being Tuscany Minerals, Ltd., the Washington company. As a result of this transaction, the Company has redomiciled from the State of Nevada to the State of Washington. The existing bylaws of Tuscany Minerals, Ltd., the Washington company, remain as the bylaws of the surviving corporation.

     
b)

Exploration Stage Activities

     

The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation and has not realized any revenues from its planned operations. As at December 31, 2008 the Company is evaluating new opportunities in both the mineral exploration business and in other industries unrelated to the resource sector. The Company had previous exploration activities in the natural gas and oil business in 2003 and in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties prior to 2003.

     
c)

Going Concern

     

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.

     

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of $726,303 for the period from October 5, 2000 (inception) to December 31, 2008, has negative cash flow, has a stockholders’ deficiency and has no sales. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain adequate financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of its business that it may acquire. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of any common stock and form the issuance of promissory notes. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

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. 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.

       

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:

       
a)

Exploration Stage Company

       

The Company complies with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 7, and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Act Guide 7 in its characterization as an exploration stage company.

       
b)

Mineral Property Interests

       

Costs of acquisition, exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral properties are expensed as incurred.

       
c)

Cash

       

Cash consists of cash on deposit with high quality major financial institutions. The carrying amounts approximated fair market value due to the liquidity of these deposits.

       
d)

Use of Estimates

       

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

       
e)

Foreign Currency Translation

       

The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Transactions in foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars as follows:

       
i)

monetary items at the rate prevailing at the balance sheet date;

ii)

non-monetary items at the historical exchange rate;

iii)

revenue and expense at the average rate in effect during the applicable accounting period.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

     
f)

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

     

The Company computes loss per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128 – “Earnings Per Share” (“SFAS No. 128”). Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128, basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the periods. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common stock outstanding during the period. As the Company generated net losses in the period presented, the basic and diluted loss per share is the same as any exercise of options or warrants would anti-dilutive.

     
g)

Financial Instruments

     

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash on deposit, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable and promissory note payable.

     

Management of the Company does not believe that the Company is subject to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The respective carrying values of financial instruments approximate their fair values. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values since they are short-term in nature or they are receivable or payable on demand.

     
h)

Income Taxes

     

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 109 – “Accounting for Income taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”). This standard requires the use of an asset and liability approach for financial accounting, and reporting on income taxes. If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.

     
i)

Asset Retirement Obligations

     

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 143 – “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, which requires that an asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset be recognized as a liability in the period which it is incurred and becomes determinable, with an offsetting increase in the carrying amount of the associated asset.

     

The cost of the tangible asset, including the initially recognized ARO, is depleted, such that the cost of the ARO is recognized over the useful life of the asset. The ARO is recorded at fair value, and accretion expense is recognized over time as the discounted liability is accreted to its expected settlement value. The fair value of the ARO is measured using expected future cash flow, discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. To date, no significant asset retirement obligation exists due to the early stage of exploration. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

     
j)

Asset Impairment

     

Long-lived assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable, pursuant to guidance established in SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 144”). The Company determines impairment by comparing the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by its assets to their respective carrying amounts. If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets will be written down to fair value.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     

In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of Statement 133 with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after November 15, 2008. The Company will adopt SFAS 161 in December, 2009. Management has not determined the effect that adopting this statement would have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

     

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” or SFAS 162. SFAS 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. GAAP for nongovernmental entities. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the Securities and Exchange Commission’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 162 but does not expect that it will have a significant effect on its financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued)

   

In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP 14-1”). FSP 14-1 requires issuers of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash to separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in periods subsequent to adoption. Upon adoption of FSP 14-1, the Company will allocate a portion of the proceeds received from the issuance of convertible notes between a liability and equity component by determining the fair value of the liability component using the Company’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. The difference between the proceeds of the notes and the fair value of the liability component will be recorded as a discount on the debt with a corresponding offset to paid-in-capital. The resulting discount will be accreted by recording additional non-cash interest expense over the expected life of the convertible notes using the effective interest rate method. The provisions of FSP 14-1 are to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon adoption and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact FSP 14-1 will have on the Company’s financial position and results of operations upon adoption.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated our company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, these officers concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, these disclosure controls and procedures were adequate to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by our company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our company’s management, including our company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, 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 simple error or mistake.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Our system of internal control over financial reporting is designed 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. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer concluded that our internal control over financial reporting were effective as of December 31, 2008.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

There were no changes in our company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Significant Employees

We have no significant employees other than the officers of our company.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among our directors or officers.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

Our directors, executive officers and control persons have not been involved in any of the following events during the past five years:

  1.

any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

     
  2.

any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);

     
  3.

being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or

     
  4.

being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.

Audit Committee

Our board of directors struck an audit committee on March 6, 2009. As of this date, Stephen Barley was appointed as the sole member of the audit committee.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

Our board of directors has determined that it does not have an audit committee member that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. We believe that the audit committee is capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.

- 31 -


In addition, 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 revenues to date.

Nomination Procedures For Appointment of Directors

As of March 16, 2009, we did not effect any material changes to the procedures by which our shareholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors. Our board of directors does not have a policy with regards to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by our shareholders. Our board of directors has determined that it is in the best position to evaluate our company’s requirements as well as the qualifications of each candidate when the board considers a nominee for a position on our board of directors. If shareholders wish to recommend candidates directly to our board, they may do so by sending communications to the president of our company at the address on the cover of this annual report.

Code of Ethics

Effective March 15, 2004, our company’s board of directors adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to, among other persons, our company’s president and secretary (being our principal executive officer, 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;

     
  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 president or secretary.

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, provincial 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 member 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.

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2004 as Exhibit 14.1 to our annual report on Form 10-KSB. We will provide a copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to any person without charge, upon request. Requests can be sent to: Tuscany Minerals, Ltd., 780 – 333 Seymour Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6B 5A6.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide us with copies of those filings. 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 the 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:

(4)

Compensation attributable to J. Stephen Barley is paid pursuant to a management agreement dated December 1, 2000, between our company and CHM Consulting Inc., a company wholly-owned by J. Stephen Barley. This agreement was terminated and superseded by a new consulting agreement dated November 1, 2008 with CHM Financial Services Inc., CHM Cunsulting Inc. received monthly payments of $750 pursuant to the former agreement and CHM Financial Services Inc. receives $4,290 per month pursuant to the new agreement.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

There are no arrangements or plans in which we provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for directors or executive officers. Our directors and executive officers may receive stock options at the discretion of our board of directors in the future. We do not have any 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 our board of directors from time to time. We have no plans or arrangements in respect of remuneration received or that may be received by our executive officers to compensate such officers in the event of termination of employment (as a result of resignation, retirement, change of control) or a change of responsibilities following a change of control.

The services of J. Stephen Barley, a director and executive officer, are provided to us pursuant to a consulting agreement dated November 1, 2008 with CHM Financial Services Inc. which replaced the former agreement dated December 1, 2000 with CHM Consulting Inc., both companies being wholly-owned by J. Stephen Barley. Pursuant to the consulting agreement, our company pays CHM Financial Services Inc. a management fee of $4,290. The fee to CHM Consulting Inc. was $750 per month under the former agreement.

Our compensation program for our executive officers is administered and reviewed by our board of directors which acts as a compensation committee. Historically, executive compensation consists of a combination of base salary and bonuses. Individual compensation levels are designed to reflect individual responsibilities, performance and experience, as well as the performance of our company. The determination of discretionary bonuses is based on various factors, including implementation of our business plan, acquisition of assets, development of corporate opportunities and completion of financing.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

Except as described below, no director, executive officer, principal shareholder holding at least 5% of our common shares, or any family member thereof, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or proposed transaction, since the beginning of our year ended December 31, 2008, or in any currently proposed transaction, 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 two completed fiscal years.

We have entered into a consulting agreement dated November 1, 2008, with CHM Financial Services Inc., a company wholly-owned by J. Stephen Barley, a director and executive officer of our company. Pursuant to the terms of the consulting agreement, our company pays CHM Financial Services Inc. a monthly management fee of $4,290 in consideration for CHM Financial Services Inc. providing general management consulting and advisory services to our company. During the year ended December 31, 2008, our company paid $6,750 (2007 – $9,000) to CHM Consulting Inc. pursuant to the previous management agreement dated December 1, 2000 and $8,537 (2007 - $Nil) to CHM Financial Services Inc. under the current consulting agreement dated November 1, 2008.

As of December 31, 2008, our company owed accounts payable of $27,934 (2007 – $27,438) to J. Stephen Barley. As of December 31, 2008, our company also owed accounts payable of $51,750 (2007 – $45,000) to a company controlled by J. Stephen Barley.

Interest expensed by our company relating to notes payable due to a company with a common director amounted to $6,868 during the year ended December 31, 2008 (2007 – $5,309).

All related party transactions are conducted in the ordinary course of business and measured at the exchange amount, which is the consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.

Corporate Governance

We currently have one director, consisting of Stephen Barley.

We have determined that Stephen Barley is not an independent director, as that term is used in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules and National Instrument 52-110 due to the fact that Mr. Barley is also the Treasurer of our company.

Audit Committee

Our board of directors struck an audit committee on March 6, 2009. As of this date, Stephen Barley was appointed as the sole member of the audit committee.

Our board of directors has determined that it does not have an audit committee member that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. We believe that the audit committee member is capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. In addition, 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 revenues to date.

Compensation Committee – Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Our board of directors acts as our compensation committee. We believe that striking a compensation committee and appointing additional independent directors to such committee 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 revenues to date. The sole member of our board of directors, which acts as our compensation committee, is not independent as defined by Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.

- 36 -


Our board of directors’ responsibilities in acting as our compensation committee is to oversee our company’s compensation and benefit plans, including our compensation plan. Our board of directors also monitors and evaluates matters relating to the compensation and benefits structure of our company. Our company has not adopted a Compensation Committee Charter.

Compensation Committee Report

The board of directors, acting as our company’s compensation committee, has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with management, and based on the review and discussion, the board of directors, acting as our compensation committee, recommended to the board of directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in our company’s annual report.

/s/ J. Stephen Barley

Transactions with Independent Directors

Our company’s sole director is not independent as defined in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.

National Instrument 52-110

We are a reporting issuer in the Province of British Columbia. National Instrument 52-110 of the Canadian Securities Administrators requires our company, as a venture issuer, to disclose annually in our annual report certain information concerning the constitution of our audit committee and our relationship with our independent auditor. As defined in National Instrument 52-110, Stephen Barley, the sole member of our board of directors, is not independent. For a description of the education and experience of Mr. Barley that is relevant to the performance of his responsibilities as an audit committee member, please see the disclosure under the heading “Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance – Business Experience”.

Stephen Barley, as the sole member of our audit committee, is “financially literate”, as defined in National Instrument 52-110, as he has the industry experience necessary to understand and analyze financial statements of our company, as well as the understanding of internal controls and procedures necessary for financial reporting.

The audit committee is responsible for review of both interim and annual financial statements for our company. For the purposes of performing his duties, the sole member of the audit committee has the right at all times, to inspect all the books and financial records of our company and any subsidiaries and to discuss with management and the external auditors of our company any accounts, records and matters relating to the financial statements of our company. The audit committee meets periodically with management and annually with the external auditors.

Since the commencement of our company’s most recently completed financial year, our company has not relied on the exemptions contained in sections 2.4 or 8 of National Instrument 52-110. Section 2.4 (De Minimis Non-audit Services) provides an exemption from the requirement that the audit committee must pre-approve all non-audit services to be provided by the auditor, where the total amount of fees related to the non-audit services are not expected to exceed 5% of the total fees payable to the auditor in the fiscal year in which the non-audit services were provided. Section 8 (Exemptions) permits a company to apply to a securities regulatory authority for an exemption from the requirements of National Instrument 52-110 in whole or in part.

The audit committee has adopted specific policies and procedures for the engagement of non-audit services as set out in the Audit Committee Charter of our company. A copy of our company’s Audit Committee Charter is filed as an exhibit to this annual report.

National Instrument 58-110

We are a reporting issuer in the Province of British Columbia. National Instrument 58-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators requires our company, as a venture issuer, to disclose annually in our annual report certain information concerning corporate governance disclosure.

Board of Directors

Our board of directors currently acts with one member consisting of J. Stephen Barley. We have determined that Mr. Barley is not independent as that term is defined in National Instrument 52-110 due to the fact that he is our sole director and an officer.

Our board’s primary responsibilities are to supervise the management of our company, to establish an appropriate corporate governance system, and to set a tone of high professional and ethical standards.

The board is also responsible for:

  • selecting and assessing members of the board;
  • choosing, assessing and compensating the Chief Executive Officer of our company, approving the compensation of all executive officers and ensuring that an orderly management succession plan exists;
  • reviewing and approving our company’s strategic plan, operating plan, capital budget and financial goals, and reviewing its performance against those plans;
  • adopting a code of conduct and a disclosure policy for our company, and monitoring performance against those policies;
  • ensuring the integrity of our company's internal control and management information systems;

Orientation and Continuing Education

We have an informal process to orient and educate new recruits to the board regarding their role of the board, our committees and our directors, as well as the nature and operations of our business. This process provides for an orientation with key members of the management staff, and further provides access to materials necessary to inform them of the information required to carry out their responsibilities as a board member. This information includes the most recent board approved budget, the most recent annual report, the audited financial statements and copies of the interim quarterly financial statements.

The board does not provide continuing education for its directors. Each director is responsible to maintain the skills and knowledge necessary to meet his or her obligations as directors.

- 38 -


Nomination of Directors

The board is responsible for identifying new director nominees. In identifying candidates for membership on the board, the board takes into account all factors it considers appropriate, which may include strength of character, mature judgment, career specialization, relevant technical skills, diversity and the extent to which the candidate would fill a present need on the board. As part of the process, the board, together with management, is responsible for conducting background searches, and is empowered to retain search firms to assist in the nominations process. Once candidates have gone through a screening process and met with a number of the existing directors, they are formally put forward as nominees for approval by the board.

Assessments

The board intends that individual director assessments be conducted by other directors, taking into account each director’s contributions at board meetings, service on committees, experience base, and their general ability to contribute to one or more of our company’s major needs. However, due to our stage of development and our need to deal with other urgent priorities, the board has not yet implemented such a process of assessment.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

Audit fees

The aggregate fees billed for the two most recently completed fiscal periods ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 for professional services rendered by Morgan & Company, Chartered Accountants for the audit of our annual financial statements, quarterly reviews of our interim financial statements and services normally provided by the independent accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows:

Tax Fees $1,359 $Nil
All Other Fees $Nil $Nil
Total $19,309 $12,384

In the above table, “audit fees” are fees billed by our company’s external auditor for services provided in auditing our company’s annual financial statements for the subject year. “Audit-related fees” are fees not included in audit fees that are billed by the auditor for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit review of our company’s financial statements. “Tax fees” are fees billed by the auditor for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. “All other fees” are fees billed by the auditor for products and services not included in the foregoing categories.

Policy on Pre-Approval by Audit Committee of Services Performed by Independent Auditors

The 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.

The board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by Morgan & Company and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining Morgan & Company.
