ITEM  1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
This Annual Report contains forward looking statements (as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). All statements, other than statements of historical fact, contained in this report are forward looking statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding the future financial position, business strategy, proposed acquisitions, budgets, litigation, projected costs and plans and objectives of or involving Sunrise or EP. Sunrise Shareholders can identify many of these statements by looking for words such as “believe”, “expects”, “will”, “intends”, “projects”, “anticipates”, “estimates”, “continues” or similar words or the negative thereof. There can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which these forward looking statements are based will occur. Forward looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those discussed elsewhere in this report. Although Sunrise believes that the plans, intentions and expectations represented in such forward looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such plans, intentions and expectations will prove to be correct. Some of the risks which could affect future results and could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward looking statements contained herein include: risks inherent in the future prices for oil and natural gas, political and regulatory risks, risks inherent in currency exchange rates, risks inherent in the prices for services and government fiscal regimes and the risk that actual results will vary from the results forecasted and such variations may be material.
 
The information contained in this report, including the information set forth under “Risk Factors”, identifies additional factors that could affect the operating results and performance of Sunrise. We urge you to carefully consider those factors.
 
The forward looking statements contained herein are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. The forward looking statements included in this Report are made as at the date of this Annual Report and Sunrise undertakes no obligation to publicly update such forward looking statements to reflect new information, subsequent events or otherwise.
 
As used in this annual report, the terms "we", "us", "our", "Company" and "Sunrise" means Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc., unless otherwise indicated.
 
All dollar amounts refer to US dollars unless otherwise indicated.
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this annual report.
 
COMPANY OVERVIEW
 
Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc. (“Sunrise” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on April 1 1991. Until December 31, 2008 we were engaged in the exploration and development of oil and gas in the Ukraine. All operating activities of Sunrise Energy Resources Inc. were conducted through our wholly owned Ukrainian subsidiaries, TOV Energy-Servicing Company Esko Pivnich (“Esko Pivnich” or “EP”) and Pari  (“Pari”) both formed as Ukrainian Closed Joint Stock Companies (CJSC).

On June 24, 2009, the Company and Millington Solutions LLC (“Millington”) executed a Share Purchase Agreement regarding the transfer of 100% stakes in Esko Pivnich and Pari to Millington in full settlement of the convertible debenture notes owed by Sunrise to Millington. Millington Solutions LLC agreed to assume and hold the Company harmless of any and all liabilities associated with Esko Pivnich and Pari whether existing prior to the sale or arising afterwards including without limitation any and all environmental remediation liabilities. The Company and Millington Solutions have agreed that regardless of the actual date of executing the definitive agreements, December 31, 2008 shall be deemed the effective closing date for the disposal. The transaction was contingent on receiving the board approval and the majority common stockholder approval both of which were obtained on June 30, 2009.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF PRINCIPAL CONDITIONS AND OPERATIONS
 
Risk Factors
 
(SEE ALSO DISCUSSION OFCERTAIN RISK FACTORS IN ITEM 1 OF THIS ANNUAL REPORT)
 
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 or 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.

 
5

 

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”.
 
Our common shares are considered speculative during our search for new and additional business opportunities. Prospective investors should consider carefully the risk factors set out below and elsewhere in this Report.
 
Limited operating history; anticipated losses; uncertainly of future results
 
The Company has a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of its prospects can be made. There can be no assurance that the Company will effectively execute its business plan and expand its operations, or that the Company’s future operational and financial objectives will be met. Future development and operating results will depend on many factors, including access to adequate capital, the demand for the Company’s products, the level of product and price competition, the Company’s success in setting up and expanding distribution channels, and whether the Company can control costs. Many of these factors are beyond the control of the Company. In addition, the Company’s future prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered in establishing a new business in the oil and gas industry, which is characterized by intense competition, rapid technological change, highly litigious competitors and significant regulation.
 
Regulation
 
Although we will be subject to regulation under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, management believes that we will not be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, insofar as we will not be engaged in the business of investing or trading in securities. In the event that we engage in business combinations which result in us holding passive investment interests in a number of entities, we could be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, meaning that we would be required to register as an investment company and could be expected to incur significant registration and compliance costs. We have obtained no formal determination from the Securities and Exchange Commission as to the status of our company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and, consequently, any violation of such act would subject us to material adverse consequences.
 
Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Others
 
Our by-laws contain provisions with respect to the indemnification of our officers and directors against all expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding arising by reason of the fact that the person is one of our officers or directors) incurred by an officer or director in defending any such proceeding to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of our company under Delaware law or otherwise, we have been advised that the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission is that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.
 
Future Dilution
 
Our statutory documents authorize the issuance of 75,000,000 common shares, each with a par value of $0.001. In the event that we are required to issue any additional shares or enter into private placements to raise financing through the sale of equity securities, investors’ interests in our Company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share depending on the price at which such securities are sold. If we issue any such additional shares, such issuances also will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all other shareholders. Further, any such issuance may result in a change in our control.
 
Anti-Takeover Provisions
 
We do not currently have a shareholder rights plan or any anti-takeover provisions in our By-laws or corporate charter. Without any anti-takeover provisions, there is no deterrent for a take-over of the Company, which may result in a change in our management and directors.

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
 
Following the sale of Esko Pivnich and Pari, our activities were confined to providing management consulting services to clients in the United States and Europe. It is anticipated that we will require only nominal capital to maintain our corporate viability and the necessary funds will most likely be provided by income arising from our consulting activities. We anticipate that our immediate cash needs will be covered by loans provided by our shareholders.  However, in the event our income from consulting activities proves insufficient or if we fail to identify and complete an acquisition of an operating business and/or do not raise significant outside financing, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a viable corporation.
 
Going Concern - These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that adequate sources of financing will be obtained as required and that our assets will be realized and liabilities settled in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company requires additional financing. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If the Company is not able to continue as a going concern, it would likely be unable to realize the carrying value of the Company's assets reflected in the balances set out in the preparation of financial statements. The Company's limited revenue history, high concentration of credit risk in consequence of its dependence on a single major customer and limited funding raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
 
Plan of operations
 
At the present time, we are actively marketing our management consulting services to clients in the United States and Europe. Simultaneously, we are investigating possible business opportunities with the intent to acquire or merge with one or more business ventures.
 
Results of Operations
 
Sales, general and administrative expenses
 
Sales, general and administration expenses in 2009 went down to $297,360 from $510,794 in 2008. The reduction was mainly caused by smaller professional expenses as a result of the disposal of operating business in the beginning of 2009.
 
Interest expense
 
Net interest expense went down from $427,467 in 2008 to $116,123 in 2009 mainly as a result of the extinguishment of the Dutchess Note in February 2008.
 
Net income
 
The accounting net income of $2,889,465 in 2009 resulted from the disposal of Esko Pivnich and Pari that were previously written down during 2008 following the reserve report from the Company’s geologists showing the absence of proved reserves at Esko Pivnich’s key producing field.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Since inception, we have financed our operations from private sources. We anticipate continuing losses in the near future while we are establishing our management consulting business and seeking a business combination. We are currently discussing various financing options with private investors that include Company shareholders however, no assurance can be provided as to if, when and in what amount such new financing may be received by the Company. Failure to timely receive such financing may cause us to significantly curtail or altogether suspend our capital expenditure program. This may, in turn, have material adverse effect on our production activities.
 
Cash flow
 
Cash used by operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 amounted to $272,364 and $521,301 respectively.

 
7

 

Cash Requirements
 
The Company anticipates it will require around $40,000 in 2010 to continue in operating existence. The Company anticipates raising this amount from the cash generated by its management consultancy business and/or through shareholder loans. However, there is no certainty these cashflow expectations would materialize and the timing of those cashflows.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our financial statements. The impact of these policies and associated risks are discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. A complete discussion of our accounting policies is included in Note 1 of the Notes to the Financial Statements.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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 materially differ from these estimates.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 104”). SAB 104 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured.
 
Criterion (1) is met as every delivery is covered by a separate contract and the title passes to the customer only upon customer’s acceptance at point of destination, which is in compliance with criterion (2). Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectibility of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered and accepted by its customers. In accordance with the Company’s standard contract terms, once delivered and accepted the product cannot be returned and no claims can be presented to the Company. The Company recognizes revenue on gross basis.
 
Going Concern
 
The Company’s financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the financial statements, the Company earned an accounting net income of $2,889,465 during the year ended December 31, 2009, and, as of December 31, 2009, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $433,079.
 
Accordingly, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the December 31, 2009 financial statements regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.
 
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
 
Our financial statements are stated in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, John A. Braden & Co., P.C. on the financial statements of Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc.  (the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2009 is included herein immediately preceding the audited financial statements for the respective periods.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
TO THE DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS OF SUNRISE ENERGY RESOURCES, INC:
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc. (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 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 audit.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the 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 audit provides 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 Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc at December 31, 2009, and the related results of their operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the financial statements, the Company earned a net income of $2,889,465 during the year ended December 31, 2009, and, as of December 31, 2009, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $433,079. These factors, among others, including the Company’s ability to develop the properties for which the Company has licenses, as discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1.  NATURE OF BUSINESS
 
Sunrise Energy Resources, Inc. (“Sunrise” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on April 1 1991. Until December 31, 2008 we were engaged in the exploration and development of oil and gas in the Ukraine. All operating activities of Sunrise Energy Resources Inc. were conducted through our wholly owned Ukrainian subsidiaries, TOV Energy-Servicing Company Esko Pivnich (“Esko Pivnich” or “EP”) and Pari (“Pari”) both formed as Ukrainian Closed Joint Stock Companies (CJSC).
 
On June 24, 2009, the Company and Millington Solutions LLC (“Millington”) executed a Share Purchase Agreement regarding the transfer of 100% stakes in Esko Pivnich and Pari to Millington in full settlement of the convertible debenture notes owed by Sunrise to Millington. Millington Solutions LLC agreed to assume and hold the Company harmless of any and all liabilities associated with Esko Pivnich and Pari whether existing prior to the sale or arising afterwards including without limitation any and all environmental remediation liabilities. The Company and Millington Solutions have agreed that regardless of the actual date of executing the definitive agreements, December 31, 2008 shall be deemed the effective closing date for the disposal. The transaction was contingent on receiving the board approval and the majority common stockholder approval both of which were obtained on June 30, 2009.
 
Sunrise Energy Resources Inc. currently has its headquarters at the following address: 570 Seventh Avenue, Suite 800, New York, New York 10018.
 
At December 31, 2009 the company employed 2 people.
 
2.  PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Basis of Presentation  These financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
 
Going concern — The Company’s financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the financial statements, the Company earned a net income of $2,889,465 during the year ended December 31, 2009, and as of December 31, 2009, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $433,079.
 
In order to maintain its corporate status and finance its operating costs, the Company plans to rely on the potential cashflow from its new management consulting business and/or shareholder loans. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
 
Use of Estimates and Assumptions  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Due to the inherent uncertainty in making those estimates, actual results reported in future periods could differ from such estimates.
 
Functional and Reporting Currency – US dollar is the reporting currency of the accompanying financial statements.
 
3.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Consolidation – The financial statements incorporate the financial statements of Sunrise Energy Resources Inc. and other enterprises, where the Company, directly or indirectly exercises control. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an investee enterprise so as to obtain benefits from its activities. All significant intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains (losses) on transactions are eliminated on consolidation.
 
Revenue Recognition  For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 104”). SAB 104 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured.

 
F-6

 

Criterion (1) is met as every delivery is covered by a separate contract and the title passes to the customer only upon customer’s acceptance at point of destination, which is in compliance with criterion (2). Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectibility of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered and accepted by its customers. In accordance with the Company’s standard contract terms, once delivered and accepted the product cannot be returned and no claims can be presented to the Company. The Company recognizes revenue on gross basis.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash include petty cash and cash held in checking bank accounts. Cash equivalents include short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amount of cash which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2009 consisted of USD balances at the Company’s checking account with Citibank.
 
Loans and Other Borrowings  All loans and borrowings are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
 
Borrowing Costs  Borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
 
Trade and Other Payables  Liabilities for trade and other amounts payable are stated at their nominal value.
 
Income Taxes  Income tax has been computed based on the results for the year as adjusted for items that are non-assessable or non-tax deductible.
 
The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (“SFAS 109”), under which the deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
 
Deferred tax is calculated at rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. It is charged or credited to the income statement, except when it relates to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.
 
Fair value of Financial Instruments — The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair value of financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short term maturity of these financial instruments.
 
Earnings (Loss) per Share – Earnings (loss) per share are computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in earnings of an entity. In a loss year, dilutive common equivalent shares are excluded from the loss per share calculation as the effect would be anti-dilutive.
 
Comprehensive Income - Statement of SFAS 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for reporting and displaying of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, SFAS 130 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. Foreign exchange measurement gains and losses of the Company are reflected in Comprehensive gains and losses.

New accounting pronouncements:

In June 2009 the FASB established the Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification" or "ASC") as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants. Existing GAAP was not intended to be changed as a result of the Codification, and accordingly the change did not impact our financial statements. The ASC does change the way the guidance is organized and presented.

ASC Topic 855, "Subsequent Events", ASC Topic 810, "Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets", ASC Topic 105 "The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles- were recently issued. Above codifications have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.
 
Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU No. 2009-05 (ASC Topic 820), which amends Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures - Overall, ASU No. 2009-13 (ASC Topic 605), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, ASU No. 2009-14 (ASC Topic 985), Certain Revenue Arrangements that include Software Elements, and various other ASU's No. 2009-2 through ASU No. 2010-03 which contain technical corrections to existing guidance or affect guidance to specialized industries or entities were recently issued. These updates have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.
 
4. OTHER ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUALS
 
Other accounts payable and accruals as of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 consisted of the following:

The amounts of $28,276 as of 12/31/2009 and $3,280 as of 12/31/2008 were due to the Company’s auditor and financial printer. The amounts of $382,365 as of 12/31/2009 and $275,091 as of 12/31/2008 represent loans from shareholders with no specific terms paid to the Company during 2005-2006 and 2009.
 
5.       INTEREST PAYABLE
 
Interest payable of $22,476 as of December, 31 2009 and December, 31 2008 represented interest accrued on the loans from related parties (Note 4).
 
6.  SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
 
During 2009, the Company raised $147,701 from private placements of 147,701 shares Company’s unregistered stock to non-US investors in reliance on Regulation S as promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.
 
No dividends were declared or paid by the Company during the periods ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
 
7.       INCOME/LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
 
Basic net loss per common share has been computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. In accordance with SFAS No. 128 “Earnings per share”, diluted net income per common share is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the applicable period, as if all potentially dilutive securities were converted into common stock. However, according to paragraph 16 of SFAS No. 128, no potential common shares shall be included in the computation of any diluted per share amount when a loss from continuing operations exists.

9.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Environmental remediation – Under the laws of Ukraine the Company is obligated to conform to certain environmental remediation obligations related to the oil and gas production activities. This amount can not be estimated but is not considered to be material. In accordance with the share purchase agreement executed by the Company and Millington Solutions LLC, Millington would assume all environmental remediation obligations relating to the oil & gas properties previously held by the Company through its former subsidiaries Esko Pivnich and Pari.
 
Litigation  The Company has been and continues to be the subject of legal proceedings and adjudications from time to time. Management believes that the resolution of all business matters which will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results have been recorded.
 
10.  RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES
 
Management of risk is an essential element of the Company’s operations. The main risks inherent to the Company’s operations are those related to credit risk exposures, market movements in foreign exchange rates and in interest rates. A description of the Company’s risk management policies in relation to those risks follows.
 
Credit risk  The Company is exposed to credit risk which is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss.
 
Interest rate risk – Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect the value of the financial instruments.
 
Currently, the Company management approach to the interest risk limitation is borrowing at fixed rates and for short periods.

ITEM 8a. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Section 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).  Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s CEO and the company’s CFO to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external reporting purposes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and include those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company;  and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

As of December 31, 2009, management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).  Based on the criteria established by COSO, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2009, as a result of the identification of the material weakness described below.

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 the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud.  A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the 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.  Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some person, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls.  Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with associated policies or procedures.  Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

The Company’s management has identified a material weakness in the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting related to a shortage of qualified personnel in the Company’s accounting department required to present the financial reports it in accordance with US GAAP including all disclosures on a timely basis.

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

 
10

 

Conclusion

The above identified material weakness did not result in material audit adjustments to our 2009 financial statements. Based on our current size and size of operations, we do not believe it is economically feasible to remediate this weakness. We cannot assure you that, as circumstances change, any additional material weakness will not be identified.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

The Company’s principal executive officers and principal financial officer have concluded that there were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over the financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures or in other factors during the last fiscal year that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect these controls as of the end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation.
