BUSINESS
We are a development stage company incorporated in the state of Oregon in 1994. Our principal business operations are conducted in British Columbia and in China. Our principal business operations include the acquisition and exploration of oil and gas interests in North America and continued development of the Video1314 website.
Power Telecom Limited
In November 2007, we entered into an option agreement (“Option Agreement”) with the shareholders of Power Telecom Limited (“PTL”), being Samuel Kam (“Kam”) and Biotonus Clinique Bon Port (Hong Kong) Limited (“Biotonus”) (together Kam and Biotonus referred to as the “Vendors”) and PTL, to acquire up to an interest in PTL.
PTL owns a 100% beneficial interest in www.video1314.com (“Video 1314”) a Chinese Web 2.0 platform similar to YouTube (www.youtube.com). Video1314 is a fast growing Chinese Web 2.0 platform, similar towww.youtube.com, that allows users to share videos, music, and audio as well as sell goods and services using videos in its marketplace. Since its launch, Video1314 has attracted millions of users and is fast becoming one of Asia’s top Web2.0 destinations. Video1314 currently serves the Greater China region, which includes mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. The features of the site are focused on free online photo, video and audio sharing; a marketplace to buy and sell goods using video, photo and audio technologies; and online educational gaming.
Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement, we were granted a series of irrevocable exclusive options to purchase up to 100% of the issued shares of PTL. If all the options are exercised, we could issue up to 50,000,000 shares of Class A common stock in exchange for all of the issued outstanding shares of PTL. Additionally, we may invest up to an aggregate of $650,000 cash in PTL as a capital contribution. In October 2007, we paid to PTL the sum of $50,000 which was applied towards the $650,000 aggregate capital contribution.
We have no obligation to exercise the options in whole or in part. If we elect only to exercise one or some of the series of options granted thereunder, we will retain the percentage of PTL that we have already purchased.
We may also issue up to 5,000,000 shares of Class A common stock to Ramon Mabanta as a finder’s fee if all the options to purchase 100% of the shares of PTL are exercised. Such finder’s fee shares shall be subject to a lock-up agreement.
In November 2007, we exercised the first option and earned a 20% interest in PTL by the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and a payment of $50,000. Additionally, we issued 1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock to Ramon Mabanta as a finder’s fee.
In March 2008, we exercised the second option to acquire an additional 20% interest in PTL by the issuance of an additional 10,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and a payment of $100,000. Additionally, we issued 1,000,000shares of Class A common stock to Ramon Mabanta as a finder’s fee.
In September 2008, we exercised the third option by the issuance of an additional 10,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and a payment of $150,000. Additionally, we issued 1,000,000shares of Class A common stock to Ramon Mabanta as a finder’s fee.
As part of the Option Agreement, we agreed that upon fully exercising the option to purchase 100% of the shares of PTL, our Board of Directors would consist of five persons, with three persons to be nominated by Kam and Biotonus and two persons to be nominated by our President, John Robertson. From the date of the Option Agreement until the earlier of the date that we fully exercise the option to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of PTL and December 31, 2013, Kam and Biotonus covenanted to vote their shares in our Class A common stock in favour of the composition of the Board of Directors as our President, John Robertson, shall direct in writing.
At present, we hold a 60% interest in the issued and outstanding shares of PTL.
2
As of April 30, 2010, we have advanced a total of $350,000 and issued 30,000,000 shares of Class A common stock to acquire a 60% interest in PTL. We also issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock to Ramon Mabanta as a finder’s fee.
Video1314
In December 2007, the fiber optic backbone capacity was upgraded from 100Mbps to 1000Mbps in Hong Kong, which is equivalent to twenty-two T3 lines. This added capacity and connection to the Internet would allow Video1314 to have the capacity to sustain over 30 million hits to its site per day. Traffic on its web site for the month of January 2008, registered more than 10 million hits, reflecting growing interest in the site's ability to offer video, photo and audio sharing experiences to its users. The activity in July 2010 of 69,388,229 hits represented a 1,735% increase compared to 4 million hits recorded in November 2007.
In June 2008, video1314.com entered into a partnership and cross-marketing agreement with Queen Productions Limited, a leading Chinese Artist management, music and film production company. Queen Products represents many popular Chinese entertainers, and we hope its relationships may expand the audience for Video1314.com at a time when we have made significant enhancements to improve its functionality and content.
Under this agreement Video1314.com's site will be promoted by Queen Production's Artistes at public events, venues, in print material and in music and film publications. In exchange, Queen Productions has engaged Video1314 to exclusively promote on the Internet, their Artists, music and films via Video1314.com's site.
In conjunction with the agreement, Video1314.com will exclusively debut the music single and video of Cindy Lee Si Nga. Si Nga is one of Queen Productions' new and upcoming star artists and is a professional athlete, actress, sports anchor and singer. She appeared on television during the Beijing 2008 Olympics as one of TVB's Olympic sports anchors. She will also be Video1314's ambassador at various public events.
By July 2008 video1314.com had reached website traffic of over 14.3 million monthly hits to its website. At that point the website was averaging more than half a million clicks daily. In September 2008, Video1314 received a record 934,147 hits to its website in a single day. By January 2009, website traffic was over 23 million hits monthly and for the month of March 2009, the website recorded 45,462,333 hits, compared to 28,352 362 hits during February. August 2009 had record hits of 55 million. The website recorded 62,000,000 hits for March, and 63,717,402 hits for April, and in July 2010 it recorded a record number of 69,388,229 hits, compared to the initial hits of 4,000,000 per month in November 2007.

In April 2009, Video1314.com partnered with China Outdoor Media Group, a Hong Kong public company. (SEHK: 254) to post top rated Video1314.com's media clips on up to 4,000 displays in China Post outlets in Guangdong province, southern China. In the future, the display of the media clips will gradually be expanded to be displayed throughout China Post's 60,000 outlets. China Post is China's postal system that has over 60,000 postal outlets, is one of the largest savings banks in China and has this exclusive media relationship with China Outdoor Media Group.
Video1314.com will also display China Outdoor Media Group's exclusively produced content such as travel programs, fortune telling programs and celebrity interviews on Video1314.com's platform. The produced content can be exclusively viewed by millions of Video1314.com users throughout Asia. In this partnership, China Outdoor Media Group's subsidiary, China New Media Company Ltd., will also be appointed as Video1314.com's advertising agent. China New Media Company Ltd. will seek advertisers to place advertising and increase monetization for Video1314.com's site. In addition, Video1314.com's top rated media clips will be supplied to China New Media Company Ltd. to be displayed on their digital display panels located in over 100 locations throughout Hong Kong at Japan Home Centre outlets.
In September 2009, PTL entered into an exclusive advertising contract with Panpacific Business Limited, a private Hong Kong advertising company, to generate revenue for the website www.video1314.com. The contract is for two years and the revenue will be divided 60% for Video1314.com and 40% to Panpacific. The contract is subject to a minimum amount of revenue to be reviewed every 90 days.
In March 2010, Video1314.com entered into an agreement with an entertainment content provider in China. PTL entered into an agreement with a hi-tech company possessing up-to-date audit video coding and decoding technology and with another Chinese-based company that is a mobile phone streaming media and audio video gateway called Funvio Technology Ltd. Datacom Information Technology Ltd. of China will be the main marketing company to develop an overseas market for wireless customers in mainland China. Video 1314 will authorize Funvio Technology Ltd. to utilize Video 1314.com website to utilize the services for assuming wireless streaming medium video and audio products.
In June 2010 we announced that as part of a major expansion, Video1314.com would be providing a new web video viewing experience. Apart from the existing user generated videos, the new site will feature 20 different vertical media channels. Video1314.com will house a production team and crew producing unique quality programs for each channel. Celebrity interviews, drama series, fashion shows, makeup lessons, culinary classes, travel programs will be among the many programs that will be produced. In order to fund this expansion, Video1314 will be signing major partnership and sponsorship agreements for each vertical channel. The first in a series of channels to be launched will be the Financial Channel, in which a partnership has already been signed.
Oil and Gas Interests
In 2005 we acquired a working interest in two oil wells located in Burleson County, Texas from a private company controlled by our President in consideration of 1,000,000 shares of Class A common stock. Through April 30, 2010, revenue from the wells was approximately $121,582. Although the wells are producing a value cannot be placed on them due to the characteristics of the well and the low production volumes that prevent the estimation of reserves.
In 2006 we entered into an agreement with Energy Source Inc. (“ESI”) to drill up to 24 gas wells located in Know and Laurel Counties, Kentucky. We could earn a 100% working interest (60% net revenue interest) in four gas wells by paying $185,000 per well and we had the option to acquire a 100% working interest (60% net revenue interest) in an additional 20 wells, which option has since expired unexercised. Each well is subject to a 12.5% net revenue interest to the landowner and a 27.5% interest to ESI. The first three wells were paid and drilled during 2006. ESI, the former operator of the wells, has been replaced and is currently in bankruptcy proceedings.
In 2006 we entered into an agreement with Teryl Resources Corp. (“Teryl”), a public company with common directors and officers, to farm out a 40% working interest in the wells, subject to a 12.5% net revenue interest to the land-owner and a 27.5% interest to ESI, in consideration for paying 50% of the total costs of the wells. We received $277,500 from Teryl during the year ended April 30, 2007, representing 50% of the cost of drilling the first, second and third wells.
4
In 2006, we assigned a 20% working interest (12% net revenue interest) in the third well drilled to three related parties pursuant to private placement subscription agreements, leaving us with a 40% working interest (24% net revenue interest) in the one well.
In April 2008 we entered into an agreement with Teryl whereby we agreed to sell to Teryl the remaining 40% working interest in the three gas wells. We received an initial payment of $25,000 and the balance was to be determined after an independent valuation report was prepared by a qualified petroleum geologist. During fiscal 2009 we agreed with Teryl to indefinitely suspend the agreement due to the characteristics of the well and the low production volumes.
As a result of the difficulty of obtaining an independent reserve report due to the characteristics of the well and the low production volumes, the total cost of $273,426 was impaired and charged to operations during the period ended April 30, 2009.
Competition
Oil and Gas
The strength of commodity prices has resulted in significantly increased operating cash flows and has led to increased drilling activity. This industry activity has increased competition for undeveloped lands; skilled personnel; access to drilling rigs, service rigs and other equipment; and access to processing and gathering facilities, all of which may cause drilling and operating costs to increase. Most of our competitors are larger than us and have substantially greater financial and marketing resources. In addition, some of our competitors may be able to secure products and services from vendors on more favorable terms, offer a greater product selection, and adopt more aggressive pricing policies than we can.
Video 1314
With the investment and our 60% ownership in Video 1314, we operate in Internet products, services, and content markets, which are highly competitive and characterized by rapid change, converging technologies, and increasing competition from companies offering communication, information, and entertainment services integrated into other products and media properties.
We compete for users and advertisers with many other providers of online services. The principal competitive factors relating to attracting and retaining users include the usefulness, accessibility, reach, integration, and personalization of the online services that we offer, and the overall user experience.
Our most significant competition is from Baidu, Alibaba, Yahoo! China, Google China, Tudou and Youku.
In the Chinese market, we also compete with local portals that are predominantly supported by local telecommunication providers or local providers of specific locally designed and marketed Internet services, some of which may have a potential competitive advantage due to an existing direct billing relationship with their users.
Government Regulations
Video 1314
Our business interest and operations in PTL and Video 1314 are conducted in China. China's economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including the amount of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange, and allocation of resources. The Chinese government has implemented various measures to encourage economic development and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may also have a negative effect on us. For example, we may be adversely affected by government control over video sharing and the Internet. In December 2007, the Chinese government issued new rules which held that in order to operate, video-sharing sites must be part state-owned. Regulators later issued guidance that some privately run sites may continue if they were given licenses and agreed to abide by content restrictions. Such measures may cause a decrease in the level of activity in media sharing web sites in China, which in turn could adversely affect us.

Oil and Gas
The oil and natural gas industry is subject to extensive controls and regulations imposed by various levels of government. We do not expect that any of these controls or regulations will affect our operations in a manner materially different than they would affect other oil and gas industry participants of similar size.
Patents and Trademarks
We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patents or trademarks.
Employees and Consultants
We currently employ no full-time employees and utilize contractors as required.

MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Market Information
Our Class A common stock (“Common Shares”) are not traded on any exchange. Our Common Shares are quoted on the Pink Sheets under the symbol "IASCA.PK". Trading on the Pink Sheets is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may have little to do with a company’s operations or business prospects. We cannot assure you that there will be a market for our Common Shares in the future.
The following table shows the high and low prices (in U.S. dollars) of our Common Shares as reported on Yahoo Finance for the periods indicated.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
Set forth below is information regarding the issuance and sales of our securities without registration during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2010:
(a)
In May, June and July 2009 we issued an aggregate of 150,000 Common Shares upon the exercise of stock options for proceeds of $7,500. These shares were issued to one optionee under the Form S-8 filed with the SEC on November 16, 2007;
(b)
On July 31, 2009 we issued 224,745 Common Shares to a private company controlled by the President as partial consideration for the oil wells located in Texas. These shares were issued without a prospectus pursuant to an exemption from registration in Section 4(2) of theSecurities Act of 1933.
(c)
During the year ended April 30, 2010, we issued an aggregate 965,000 units at $0.10 per unit to U.S. investors and non-U.S. investors, pursuant to a private placement for gross proceeds of $96,500. Each unit consists of one common share of the Company and one share purchase warrant exercisable into the Company’s common stock at $0.15 per share for one year from issuance of the shares. These shares were issued without a prospectus pursuant to an exemption from registration in Section 4(2) of theSecurities Act of 1933.
Subsequent to the year ended April 30, 2010, we sold the following securities without registration:
(a)
Subsequent to April 30, 2010, we issued an aggregate 494,500 units at $0.10 per unit to U.S. investors and non-U.S. investors, pursuant to a private placement for gross proceeds of $49,450. Each unit consists of one common share of the Company and one share purchase warrant exercisable into the Company’s common stock at $0.15 per share for one year from issuance of the shares. These shares were issued without a prospectus pursuant to an exemption from registration in Section 4(2) of theSecurities Act of 1933.
Our reliance upon the exemption under Section 4(2) of theSecurities Act of 1933 was based on the fact that the issuance of these shares did not involve a “public offering.” Each offering was not a "public offering" as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, size of the offering, manner of the offering and number of securities offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of shares to a high number of investors. In addition, the investors had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to and received a share certificate bearing a legend stating that such shares are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. This restriction ensures that these shares would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part of a "public offering." The investors negot iated the terms of the transactions directly with our executive officers. No general solicitation was used, no commission or other
8
remuneration was paid in connection with these transactions, and no underwriter participated. Based on an analysis of the above factors, these transactions were effected in reliance on the exemption from registration provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for transactions not involving any public offering.
Our reliance upon the exemption under of Regulation S of the Securities Act was based on the fact that the sale of the securities was completed in an "offshore transaction", as defined in Rule 902(h) of Regulation S. We did not engage in any directed selling efforts, as defined in Regulation S, in the US in connection with the sale of the securities. Each investor was not a US person, as defined in Regulation S, and was not acquiring the securities for the account or benefit of a US person.
Additionally, the investors were given adequate access to sufficient information about us to make an informed investment decision. None of the securities were sold through an underwriter and accordingly, there were no underwriting discounts or commissions involved.

We were incorporated on December 13, 1994 pursuant to the laws of the State of Oregon, USA. Our principal business operations are conducted in British Columbia, Canada and China.
We are a development stage company, engaged in the continued development of the Video1314 website. Planned principal activities have not yet produced significant revenues and we have suffered recurring operating losses as is normal in development stage companies. We have a working capital deficiency of $1,727,339 as at April 30, 2010. Our auditors have raised substantial concern on our ability to meet planned business objectives and ongoing operations for the next twelve months. Our ability to emerge from the development stage with respect to our planned principal business activity is dependent upon our successful efforts to raise additional equity financing, receive funding from affiliates and controlling shareholders.
This review of the results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended April 30, 2010 and April 30, 2009.
Results of Operation for the year ended April 30, 2010 compared to the year ended April 30, 2009
During the year ended April 30, 2010 we generated revenue of $21,319 from operations as compared to $35,780 for the year ended April 30, 2009. The revenues were derived from petroleum and natural gas sales of $21,319 (2009 - $28,054) and service revenues of zero (2009 - $7,726).
We incurred a net loss of $7,365,187 in 2010, compared to a net loss of $659,111 in 2009.
9
We wrote off goodwill of $7,018,592 in 2010 as a result of our goodwill impairment testing for the year ended April 30, 2010.
Other operating expenses decreased from a total of $687,703 in fiscal 2009 to total of $384,259 in 2010.
Office and administrative expenses decreased by $182,575 from $473,105 in 2009 to $290,530 in 2010, mainly as a result of our effort to streamline our operations, fewer stock purchase options granted and vested thus lower stock based-compensation expenses and lower costs incurred by our subsidiary, PTL, incurred in 2010 compared with the prior year.
Professional fees decreased by $106,848 from $147,583 in 2009 to $40,735 in 2010 as a result of lower legal, accounting and audit costs. Legal, accounting and audit fees are lower in 2010 as all work related to acquisition of PTL was completed in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2009. In addition, we streamlined our financial reporting process in 2010.
Transfer agent and regulatory fees decreased by $3,974 from $11,127 in 2009 to $7,153 in 2010 as a result of reduced share transactions in the current period.
Loss from equity investment decreased from $40,072 in 2009 to zero in 2010. The amount in 2009 was related to the acquisition of PTL. There was no loss for the equity accounted investment in the current period, as the financial records of PTL are now fully consolidated with our financial records.
The impairment loss on petroleum interests increased by $30,536 from $2,572 in 2009 to $33,108 in 2010, largely due to increased expenditures in the current period on our working interest in two wells located on the petroleum property in Burleson Country, Texas, leading to increased impairment loss recorded due to the difficulties in estimating the reserves of the property caused by its geological features.
Related Party Transactions
As of April 30, 2010, we owed related companies with common directors and officers and related companies controlled by a significant shareholder $1,717,434 (2009 - $1,305,619). The balance comprised of advances and/or expenses paid on our behalf, which are non-interest bearing, unsecured and without specific terms of repayment.
As of April 30, 2010, we were owed by related companies with common directors and officers $1,630 (2009 - $8,108) comprised of advances and/or expenses paid by us. These amounts are non-interest bearing, unsecured and without specific terms of repayment.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In the past, we have derived most of our development and operating capital primarily from the issuance of capital stock and advances from related parties. We have also received minimal revenue from our oil and gas wells. Although we intend to continue utilizing these sources, there is no assurance that these sources and methods would continue to be available in the future.
We received funding in 2009 from our affiliated companies with common officers and directors. The total amount owing to related parties is $1,717,434 or 93.6% of total current liabilities as at April 30, 2010. The balances owing to related parties are non-interest bearing, unsecured and repayable on demand. Our affiliated companies have indicated that they will not be demanding repayment of these funds during the next fiscal year and will advance, or pay expenses on our behalf if further funds are needed.
The audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going-concern. As discussed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, we have minimal revenues and limited capital, which together raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going-concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
10
As of April 30, 2010, our cash position was $72,322, compared to $275 as of April 30, 2009, and we had a working capital deficit of $1,727,339. We anticipate that our estimated cash requirements for operational expenses for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2011 will be approximately $500,000.
In the event that no other sources of capital were available to us in the future, on a reasonable financial basis, we would face the same obstacles as many small, undercapitalized companies do, and, in the worst case, we could be forced to reorganize or liquidate, either of which consequence would likely have an adverse financial effect upon our shareholders.
During the year ended April 30, 2010 we financed our operations and received $503,899 (2009 - $498,849) as follows:
(a)
Financial support from related parties in the amount of $406,654 (2009 - $475,598). These amounts are unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand;
(b)
$96,500 (2009 - $22,500) from common shares issued during the year ended April 30, 2010 and exercise of stock options in the amount of $7,500 (2009 -$5,000); and
(c)
$142,352 from the sale of available for sale securities (2009 - $Nil).
In 1997 we sold a $40,000 convertible debenture with a three year term and interest payable at 8¾%, payable annually. $15,000 was redeemed as of April 30, 2000. As of April 30, 2010, $25,000 remains outstanding. A total of $2,188 in interest was accrued during the year ended April 30, 2010.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably like to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
IAS Energy, Inc. (A Development Stage Company)
Richmond, BC, Canada
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of IAS Energy, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of April 30, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statement of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatements. 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 consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of April 30, 2010 and 2009 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has negative working capital and suffered losses from operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

IAS Energy, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation
IAS Energy, Inc. was incorporated on December 13, 1994 in Oregon. The Company is a Development Stage Company. On May 24, 2007, the Company changed its name to IAS Energy, Inc. The Company has minimal oil and gas revenues and is acquiring and developing a video-sharing website, as described in Note 3.
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 60% owned subsidiary, Power Telecom Limited, since the date the Company acquired control on September 3, 2008.
In a development stage company, management devotes most of its activities to establishing a new business, including raising capital to acquire interest in the website. Planned principle activities have not yet produced any revenues and the Company has suffered operating losses as is normal in development stage companies. See Note 2.
Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
These consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are expressed in U.S. dollars.
Principles of consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 60% owned subsidiary, Power Telecom Limited, since the date the Company acquired control on September 3, 2008. Prior to that date, the Company’s investment in Power Telecom was accounted for using the equity method of accounting. For fiscal years ended April 30, 2009 and 2010, all inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Risks and uncertainties
The Company operates in an emerging industry that is subject to market acceptance and technological change. The Company’s operations are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including financial, operational, technological and other risks associated with operating an emerging business, including the potential risk of business failure.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Available-for-sale securities
Available-for-sale securities are recorded at market. Unrealized gains and losses on such securities are reported in comprehensive income in the period they occur.
F-6
Basic and diluted net loss per share
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. For the years ended April 30, 2010 and 2009, potential dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per common share.
Non-controlling interest
The Company accounts for the minority interest in its subsidiary, Power Telecom, in accordance with FASB ASC 810. Control of the partially-owned subsidiary Power Telecom was obtained on September 3, 2008 and Power Telecom has been consolidated since then. There is no minority interest share allocated in Stockholders’ Equity since there is no net equity credit balance in Power Telecom.
Financial instruments
Fair Value
The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, available-for-sale securities, accrued revenues, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, due to/from related parties and debentures approximate their fair values because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk due to the short-term maturity of its monetary assets and liabilities.
Credit Risk
The Company’s financial asset that is exposed to credit risk consists primarily of cash. To manage the risk, cash is placed with major financial institutions.
Currency Risk
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Goodwill
The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of intangible assets not subject to amortization, including goodwill, to determine whether impairment may exist. FASB ASC 350 requires that goodwill and certain intangible assets be assessed annually, or when certain triggering events occur, for impairment using fair value measurement techniques. These events could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, a decline in operating performance, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business, or other factors. Specifically, goodwill impairment is determined using a two-step process. The first step of the goodwill impairment test is used to identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The estimates of fair value of a reporting unit are determined using various valuation techniques with the primary technique being a discounted cash flow analysis. A discounted cash flow analysis requires one to make various judgmental assumptions including assumptions about future cash flows, growth rates, and discount rates. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on the Company’s budget and long-term
F-7
plans. Discount rate assumptions are based on an assessment of the risk inherent in the respective reporting units. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. That is, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price paid to acquire the reporting unit. The Company’s evaluation of goodwill completed at April 30, 2010 resulted in an impairment loss of $7,018,592 to write-off goodwill.
Asset retirement obligation
The Company is required to recognize a legal liability for obligations related to the retirement of property, plant and equipment and obligations arising from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operations of those assets. Such asset retirement costs must be recognized at fair value when a reasonable estimate of fair value can be estimated in the period in which the liability is incurred. A corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the related asset, when one is identifiable, is recorded and amortized over the life of the asset. Where a related future value is not easily identifiable with a liability, the change in fair value over the course of the year is expensed. The amount of the liability is subject to re-measurement at each reporting period. The estimates are based principally on legal and regulatory requirements. It is possible that the Company’s estimates of its ultimate reclamati on and closure liabilities could change as a result of changes in regulations, changes in the extent of environmental remediation required, changes in the means of reclamation or changes in cost estimates. Changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively commencing in the period the estimate is revised. At April 30, 2010 and 2009, no asset retirement obligation was recorded based on management’s assessment of the company’s share of the asset retirement obligation.
Stock-based compensation
The Company for stock based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718 which establishes the accounting treatment for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. Under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, share-based payment compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period). The Company accounts for share-based payments to non-employees in accordance with FASB ASC 505-50.
Oil and gas properties
The Company utilizes the full-cost method of accounting for petroleum and natural gas properties. Under this method, the Company capitalizes all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas reserves, including leasehold acquisition costs, geological and geophysical expenditures, lease rentals on undeveloped properties and costs of drilling of productive and non-productive wells into the full-cost pool on a country-by-country basis. When the Company obtains proven oil and gas reserves, capitalized costs, including estimated future costs to develop the proved reserves and estimated abandonment costs, net of salvage, are depleted on the units-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves.
The costs of unproved properties are not amortized until it is determined whether proved reserves can be assigned to the properties. Until such determination is made the Company assesses annually whether impairment has occurred, and includes in the amortization base drilling exploratory dry holes associated with unproved properties.
The Company applies a ceiling test to the capitalized cost in the full-cost pool. The ceiling test limits such cost to the estimated present value, using a ten percent discount rate, of the future net revenue from proved reserves, based on current economic and operating conditions. Specifically, the Company computes the ceiling test so that capitalized cost, less accumulated depletion and related deferred income tax, do not exceed an amount (the ceiling) equal to the sum of: (A) the present value of estimated future net revenue computed by applying current prices of oil and gas reserves (with consideration of price changes only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves as of the date of the latest balance sheet presented, less estimated
F-8
future expenditures (based on current cost) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves computed using a discount factor of ten percent and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions; plus (B) the cost of property not being amortized; plus (C) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized; less (D) income tax effects related to differences between the book and tax basis of the property.
For unproven properties, the Company excludes from capitalized costs subject to depletion all costs directly associated with the acquisition and evaluation of the unproved property until it is determined whether proved reserves can be assigned to the property. Until such a determination is made, the Company assesses the property at least annually to ascertain whether impairment has occurred. In assessing impairment the Company considers factors such as historical experience and other data such as primary lease terms of the property, average holding periods of unproved property, and geographic and geologic data. The Company adds the amount of impairment assessed to the cost to be amortized subject to the ceiling test.
For the periods presented, there were no proved reserves reported due to the nature of the producing wells. As a result, all costs that would be capitalized during the periods were impaired immediately.
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes oil and gas revenue under the sales method when production is sold at a fixed or determinable price, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred and title has transferred, and collectability is reasonably assured.
Income taxes
Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for income tax purpose. The Company uses the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax losses and credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards when realization is more likely than not.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, goodwill, stock-based compensation and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and li abilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Recent accounting pronouncements
In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new guidance relating to the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification” at FASB ASC 105, as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The codification is effective for interim periods ending after September 15, 2009. All existing accounting standards are superseded as described in FASB ASC 105. All other accounting literature not included in the Codification is nonauthoritative. The Company adopted FASB ASC 105 on August 1, 2009.
Note 2 - Going Concern
The Company incurred a net loss of $7,365,187 and $659,111 during the years ended April 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively and at April 30, 2010 had an accumulated deficit of $15,090,897 since its inception. The Company also has working capital deficit of $1,727,339 at April 30, 2010. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going basis and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
At April 30, 2010, the Company has suffered losses from development stage activities to date. Although management is currently attempting to implement its business plan, and is seeking additional sources of equity or debt financing, there is no assurance these activities will be successful.
Note 3 - Acquisition
On November 26, 2007, the Company entered into an Equity Share Purchase Agreement with all of the stockholders of Power Telecom, a corporation organized in Hong Kong. Pursuant to the Agreement the Company, at its option, has the right to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Power Telecom. The consideration to be paid under the Agreement consists of 55,000,000 Class A shares of common stock of the Company and the Company is required to make cash payments to Power Telecom totaling $650,000 towards the further development of Power Telecom’s business. Power Telecom owns the rights to the Chinese website www.video1314.com, an information sharing website. The Company paid a non-refundable deposit of $50,000 to Power Telecom upon execution of the Agreement and an additional $300,000 capital contribution. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company received a series of irrevocable exclusive options to purchase up to 100% of the shares of Power Telecom in stages as described below:
(i)
To purchase an initial 20% interest in Power Telecom, the Company must issue 10,000,000 Class A common shares, pay $50,000 to Power Telecom and issue 1,000,000 Class A common shares as a finder’s fee. The Company exercised this option on November 26, 2007. The 11,000,000 common shares issued were recorded at a fair value of $1,880,032.
(ii)
To purchase an additional 20% interest in Power Telecom, the Company must issue an additional 10,000,000 Class A common shares, pay a further $100,000 to Power Telecom, and issue an additional 1,000,000 Class A common shares as a finder’s fee. The Company exercised this option on March 5, 2008. The 11,000,000 common shares issued were recorded at a fair value of $2,400,441.
(iii)
To purchase an additional 20% interest in Power Telecom, the Company must issue an additional 10,000,000 Class A common shares, pay a further $150,000 to Power Telecom, and issue an additional 1,000,000 Class A common shares as a finder’s fee. The Company exercised this option on September 3, 2008. The 11,000,000 common shares issued were recorded at a fair value of $2,197,001.
(iv)
To purchase an additional 20% interest in Power Telecom, the Company must issue an additional 10,000,000 Class A common shares, pay a further $150,000 to Power Telecom, and issue an additional 1,000,000 Class A common shares as a finder’s fee.
(v)
To purchase an additional 20% interest in Power Telecom, the Company must issue an additional 10,000,000 Class A common shares, pay a further $150,000 to Power Telecom, and issue an additional 1,000,000 Class A common shares as a finder’s fee.
F-10
In accordance with FASB ASC 805, acquisitions of a controlling interest are accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Under the purchase method of accounting, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated fair values. Goodwill is recorded to the extent the purchase price consideration, including certain acquisition and closing costs, exceeds the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired at the date of the acquisition.
Effective September 3, 2008, the Company owned a 60% interest in Power Telecom by having issued 33,000,000 Class A shares of common stock of the Company and making an equity contribution of $350,000 to Power Telecom for working capital purposes.
Up until September 2, 2008, the Company’s 40% investment in Power Telecom was accounted for using the equity method with the Company’s share of losses being $76,535 since acquisition. Upon purchasing the 60% interest, the acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method and the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows include the results of operations of Power Telecom from September 3, 2008 to April 30, 2009. The losses applicable to the non-controlling interest of Power Telecom have been allocated only to the Company’s interest as the losses exceed the non-controlling interest in the common shares of Power Telecom.
The purchase price of the 60% interest of Power Telecom is detailed as follows:
Capital contribution in cash
$ 350,000
Fair value of shares of IAS’s common stock:
First tranche of 11 million shares
1,880,032
Second Tranche of 11 million shares
2,400,441
Third tranche of 11 million shares
2,197,001
Loss in equity investment prior to September 3, 2008
(76,537)
Total Purchase Price
$ 6,750,937
The acquisition has been accounted for in accordance with the provision of FASB ASC 805. The total purchase price was allocated to the net tangible assets based on the estimated fair values. The final allocation of the purchase price is as follows:
Assets purchased: |
|
Cash and cash equivalents | $ 13,960 |
Receivables, prepaids and other current assets | 2,562 |
Goodwill | 7,018,592 |
|
|
Total assets acquired | 7,035,114 |
|
|
Liabilities assumed: |
|
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | (284,177) |
|
|
Total liabilities assumed | (284,177) |
|
|
Purchase price | $ 6,750,937 |
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the assets acquired net of the fair value of liabilities assumed in an acquisition. FASB ASC 350 requires that intangible assets with indefinite lives, including goodwill, be evaluated on an annual basis for impairment or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that could potentially result in impairment. The goodwill was tested by performing the two-step impairment test. For the year ended April 30, 2009, no impairment was recorded. During the year ended April 30, 2010, impairment was recorded and the full amount of goodwill of $7,018,592 was written-off.
The first tranche of 11,000,000 shares issued on November 26, 2007, used the five-day average trading price of $0.23, before the announcement was made 23 October 2007, in the calculation of the fair value.
F-11
The second tranche of 11,000,000 shares issued on March 5, 2008, used the five-day average trading price of $0.28 in the calculation of the fair value.
The third tranche of 11,000,000 shares issued on July 30, 2008, used the five-day average trading price of $0.25 in the calculation of the fair value.
Since these shares have trading restrictions, the aggregate fair value was calculated using the above prices, over the estimated time (based on trading restrictions) to achieve free trading status, using a 10% discount factor.
Pro forma information
The following consolidated pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of the Company and Power Telecom for the year ended April 30, 2009 as if the acquisitions had occurred at May 1, 2008, including the issuance of the Company’s common shares as consideration for the acquisition of Power Telecom.

The consolidated pro forma financial information does not include adjustments to remove certain private company expenses, which may not be incurred in future periods. Similarly, the unaudited consolidated pro forma financial information does not include adjustments for additional expenses, such as rent, insurance, and other expenses that would have been incurred subsequent to the acquisition date. The unaudited consolidated pro forma financial information does not necessarily reflect the results of operations that would have occurred had the Company and Power Telecom been a single entity during these periods.
As part of the Option Agreement, the Company granted 1,000,000 stock options as stock based compensation to the subsidiary’s key employees to purchase 1,000,000 Class A common shares of the Company at a price of $0.33 per share for a period of five years. The 1,000,000 stock options were recorded at a fair value of $267,954. The options vest as to 12.5% upon grant date and an additional 12.5% every 90 days thereafter.
Change in control
Per the Option Agreement dated November 26, 2007 (Option Agreement) between the Company, Mr. Samuel Kam, a businessman and the shareholders of Biotonus Clinique Bon Port (Hong Kong) Limited, who collectively owns 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Power Telecom, upon the exercise of the fourth option as described above, Mr. Samuel Kam and the shareholders of Biotonus Clinique Bon Port (Hong Kong) Limited will own the majority shares of common stock of the Company.
In addition, pursuant to the Option Agreement, upon the Company fully exercising the options described above, the Board of Directors of the Company shall consist of five persons, three to be nominated by Mr. Samuel Kam and the shareholders of Biotonus Clinique Bon Port (Hong Kong) Limited and two to be nominated by John Robertson, the current President of the Company. From the Option Agreement until the earlier of the date that the Company has fully exercised the options and December 31, 2013, Mr. Samuel Kam and the shareholders of Biotonus Clinique Bon Port (Hong Kong) Limited covenant to vote their shares of the Company in favor of the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company as John Robertson, the current President of IAS, shall so direct in writing. Thus the control of the company will remain with Mr. John Robertson at least before December 31, 2013.
As at April 30, 2010 and the date of these financial statements the Company does not intend to exercise options to acquire further interest in Power Telecom.

Note 4 - Related Party Transactions
Related party transactions were in the normal course of operations and are recorded at their exchange amounts. Amounts due to and from related parties are unsecured, non-interest bearing and due on demand. Related parties consist of companies that have common directors and/or officers with the Company and companies that are controlled by a significant shareholder of the Company.
As at April 30, 2010, the Company had an accounts receivable balance of $1,630 (April 30, 2009 - $8,108), which was due from related companies. The amount comprised of advances and/or expenses paid by the Company. The amounts are non-interest bearing, unsecured and without specific terms of repayment.
As at April 30, 2010, the Company owed related companies $1,717,434 (April 30, 2009 - $1,305,619) comprised of advances and/or expenses paid on behalf of the Company. The amounts are non-interest bearing, unsecured and without specific terms of repayment.
During the year ended April 30, 2010, the Company paid fees to a professional law firm in which a partner of the firm is an officer and director of the Company for legal services amounting to $5,161 (2009 - $28,400).

On April 7, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with Teryl Resources Corp, a related company, to sell to Teryl the remaining 40% working interest in the three gas wells located in Know and Laurel Counties, Kentucky. In consideration, the Company received an initial payment of $25,000 and the balance will be determined after an independent valuation report prepared by a qualified petroleum geologist. During the year ended April 30, 2009 both parties agreed to indefinitely suspend the agreement due to the difficulty of obtaining an independent valuation report due to the characteristics of the well and the low production volumes. As of April 30, 2010 and the date of these consolidated financial statements the sale was not completed. As such, the $25,000 paid to the Company during the year ended April 30, 2009 was recorded as due to Teryl.
The Company shares office space with companies with related directors and officers. The Company occupied this space rent-free during the years ended April 30, 2010 and 2009.

Fair Value Measurements
The Company values its marketable securities held for sale under FASB ASC 820 which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
F-13
As defined in ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820 are as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.
Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category generally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, options and collars.
Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.
The Company uses Level 1 to value its marketable securities available for sale.
The following table sets forth by level with the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on April 30, 2010 and 2009:

Note 10 - Oil and Gas Properties
(a)
The Company entered into an agreement on April 6, 2005 with a private company controlled by the President of the Company to acquire a working interest in two oil wells located in Burleson County, Texas. The Company agreed to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of restricted common stock at the rate of one share for every $0.10 of revenue from the wells. The Company issued 775,255 of the shares due during the year ended April 30, 2009 and issued the remaining 224,745 shares on July 31, 2009 to complete the transaction.
The Company’s portion of revenue earned from these wells during the years ended April 30, 2010 and 2009 totaled $21,319 and $17,878, respectively.
The wells are producing but a value cannot be placed on them due to the characteristics of the well and the low production volumes that prevent the estimation of reserves. As a result, all costs are impaired immediately. Total impairment recorded on the above wells was $33,108 and $Nil for the years ended April 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
(b)
On 4 May 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Energy Source Inc. (“ESI”) to drill up to 24 gas wells located in Kentucky. The Company can earn a 100% working interest (60% net revenue interest) in four gas wells by paying $185,000 per well and has the option to acquire a 100% working interest (60% net revenue interest) in an additional 20 wells over an 18-month period at a price to be agreed upon. Each well is subject to a 12.5% net revenue interest to the landowner and a 27.5% interest to ESI. On 18 May 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Teryl, a public company related by common directors and officers, to farm-out a 40% working interest, outlined above, subject to a 12.5% net revenue interest to the landowner and a 27.5% interest to ESI, in consideration for paying 50% of the total costs of the wells. The Company received $277,500 from Teryl during the year ende d April 30, 2007, representing 50% of the cost of drilling the first, second and third wells. On 28 September 2006, the Company assigned a 20% working interest (12% net revenue interest) in the third well drilled as part of a financing agreement.
The Company’s portion of revenue earned from these wells during the years ended April 30, 2010 and 2009 totaled $Nil and $10,176, respectively.
Due to the nature of these wells and the low production volumes, the Company is unable to estimate proved reserves. As a result all costs are impaired immediately.

Note 11 - Income Tax
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of “temporary differences” by applying enacted statutory tax rate applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities and result primarily form differences in methods used to amortize intangible assets. A valuation allowance is provided when management cannot determine whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized. The effect on deferred income taxes of the change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company has losses carried forward for income tax purposes to April 30, 2010, however, the related deferred tax asset has been fully reserved due to management’s determination that the realization of the deferred tax assets is less than likely. The difference between the statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate is the valuation allowance. In addition, the utilization of certain net operating losses may be limited due to the acquisition of Power Telecom.
The composition of the Company’s deferred tax assets at April 30, 2010 and 2009 is as follows:
| April 30, | ||
| 2010 |
| 2009 |
|

The unused net operating loss carry forward balance for income tax purposes will expire in the years 2014 through 2030.
Note 12 - Commitments
On September 9, 2009, the Company’s 60% owned subsidiary, Power Telecom, who is the owner of website “Video 1314”, entered into an advertising agreement with Panpacific Business Ltd. The agreement states that Panpacific Business Ltd. will be the exclusive advertiser for the Video 1314 website for a period of 2 years. Power Telecom will offer 40% of its advertising revenue to Panpacific Business Ltd.
Note 13 - Subsequent events
During June and July, 2010 the Company completed a private placement of 494,500 units at $0.10 per unit for total cash proceeds of $49,450. Each unit consists of one common share of the Company and one share purchase warrant exercisable into the Company’s common stock at $0.15 per share for one year from issuance of the shares.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
There have been no changes in or disagreements with our accounting firm on accounting and financial disclosure.
ITEM 9A.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a)
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2010. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
(b)
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. Under the supervision of our executive officers, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2010 using the criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2010, we determined that there were significant deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below.
1.
Certain entity level controls establishing a “tone at the top” were considered material weaknesses. We do not have a majority of independent directors and our audit committee is comprised two members, both of which are executive officers. There is no policy on fraud. A whistleblower policy is not necessary given the small size of the organization. There is no code of ethics.
2.
There is a lack of monitoring of internal control as we are in the development stage and have limited resources.
3.
There is no segregation of duties as we have no employees. The potential for management override exists as our executive officers oversee all aspects of our operations. The lack of independent directors exercising an oversight role further increases the risk of management override.
4.
During our audit, there were a significant number of audit adjustments noted, which indicates a material weakness in our financial reporting process and maintenance of our general ledger.
Management is currently evaluating remediation plans for the above control deficiencies.
In light of the existence of these control deficiencies, management concluded that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by our internal controls.
As a result, management has concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as ofApril 30, 2010 based on criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Frameworkissued by COSO.

(c)
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in our internal controls or in other factors that occurred during our last fiscal year ended April 30, 2010 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

The Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities relating to our corporate accounting and reporting practices. The Audit Committee is responsible for ensuring that management has established appropriate processes for monitoring our systems and procedures for financial reporting and controls, reviewing all financial information in disclosure documents; monitoring the performance and fees and expenses of our external auditors and recommending external auditors for appointment by shareholders.

Code of Ethics
The Board of Directors does not have any committees. Our Board of Directors has not to date adopted a code of ethics as there is no real benefit to having a formal code of ethics due to our small size and the existing systems we have in place. Our directors are subject to the laws of the State of Oregon, whereby they are required to act honestly, in good faith and in our best interests.
Director Nominees
As of October 6, 2010 there have been no material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors.
We do not have a nominating committee. Our Board of Directors selects individuals to stand for election as members of the Board. Since the Board of Directors does not include a majority of independent directors, the decision of the Board as to director nominees is made by persons who have an interest in the outcome of the determination. The Board will consider candidates for directors proposed by security holders, although no formal procedures for submitting candidates have been adopted. Unless otherwise determined, not less than 90 days prior to the next annual meeting of the Board of Directors at which the slate of Board nominees is adopted, the Board will accept written submissions of proposed nominees that include the name, address and telephone number of the proposed nominee; a brief statement of the nominee’s qualifications to serve as a director; and a statement as to why the security holder submitting the proposed n ominee believes that the nomination would be in the best interests of security holders. If the proposed nominee is not the same person as the stockholder submitting the name of the nominee, a letter from the nominee agreeing to the submission of his or her name for consideration should be provided at the time of submission. The letter should be accompanied by a résumé supporting the nominee's qualifications to serve on the Board of Directors, as well as a list of references.
The Board identifies director nominees through a combination of referrals from different people, including management, existing Board members and security holders. Once a candidate has been identified, the Board reviews the individual's experience and background and may discuss the proposed nominee with the source of the recommendation. If the Board believes it to be appropriate, Board members may meet with the proposed nominee before making a final determination whether to include the proposed nominee as a member of management's slate of director nominees submitted to security holders for election to the Board.
Among the factors that the Board considers when evaluating proposed nominees are their knowledge of and experience in business matters, finance, capital markets and mergers and acquisitions. The Board may request additional information from any candidate prior to reaching a determination. The Board is under no obligation to formally respond to all recommendations, although as a matter of practice, it will endeavor to do so.
ITEM 11.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Our executive officers make recommendations to the board of directors regarding compensation policies and the compensation of senior officers. We do not currently 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 our stock option plan. These forms of compensation are chosen to attract, retain and motivate the performance of selected directors, officers, employees or consultants 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. At this time, we do not pay a salary to any of our executive officers due to our current limited financial position.
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 our stock option plan. Previous grants of option-based awards are taken into account when considering new grants.
15
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, 2010, no option-based awards for executives were granted.
Summary Compensation Table
The table below summarizes all compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to our executive officers for all services rendered in all capacities to us for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2010, 2009 and 2008.

Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment
There are no employment agreements or other compensating plans or arrangements with regard to any of the executive officers which provide for specific compensation in the event of resignation, retirement, other termination of employment or from a change of control of our company or from a change in an executive officer’s responsibilities following a change in control.
Pursuant to our stock option plan, in the event an optionee’s employment by or engagement (as a director or otherwise) is terminated by us for any reason other than death before exercise of the options granted hereunder, the stock option shall immediately expire and all rights to purchase shares thereunder shall immediately cease and expire and be of no further force or effect.

ITEM 13.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Since May 1, 2009, there have been no transactions, and there is not currently any proposed transactions, in which we are a participant in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than as disclosed below:
During the year ended April 30, 2010, we paid fees to a professional law firm in which a partner of the firm is an officer and director of our company for legal services amounting to $5,161 (2009 - $28,400).
17
On April 7, 2008, we entered into an agreement with Teryl Resources Corp, a related company, to sell to Teryl the remaining 40% working interest in the three gas wells located in Know and Laurel Counties, Kentucky. In consideration, we received an initial payment of $25,000 and the balance to be determined after an independent valuation report prepared by a qualified petroleum geologist. During the year ended April 30, 2009 both parties agreed to indefinitely suspend the agreement due to the difficulty of obtaining an independent valuation report due to the vertical fracture of the wells. As of April 30, 2010 the sale was not completed. As such, the $25,000 paid during the year ended April 30, 2009 was recorded as due to Teryl.
We share office space with companies with related directors and officers. We have occupied this space rent-free during the years ended April 30, 2010 and 2009.
Related party transactions were in the normal course of operations and are recorded at their exchange amounts.
Director Independence
The OTC.BB on which our Common Shares is quoted does not have any director independence requirements. However, we currently use NASDAQ’s general definition for determining director independence, which states that “independent director” means a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship that, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of the director. Currently, none of our directors meet this definition of independence.
