ITEM 1. BUSINESS

(a) Business Development

Sentry Petroleum Ltd. ("Sentry" or "the Company") is a Nevada company incorporated on February 23, 2006. The Company's registered office and agent for service is located at 5190 Neil Road, Suite 430, Reno Nevada 89501 and our principal corporate office is located at 999 18th Street, Suite 3000 Denver, CO 80202. We maintain an operation's office in Perth, Australia. Our operations office telephone number is 61-8-9474 1092. We are an oil and gas exploration stage company. To date we have had no revenues, have achieved losses since inception, and have been issued a going concern opinion from our auditors.

We rely upon the sale of our securities to fund operations. On November 17, 2006 we completed our initial public offering pursuant to an SB-2 registration statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 19, 2006. We issued a total of 6,325,600 shares for total proceeds of $316,280. On April 20, 2007 our common stock commenced trading on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol SMIX. On November 1, 2007 we issued 30,000,000 shares by way of SB-2 registration statement for total proceeds of $750,000. On November 30, 2007 we completed a 2-1 stock split of our common stock, all disclosures in this 10-K reflect the effect of this stock split. On December 5, 2007 we changed our name to Sentry Petroleum Ltd and our trading symbol to SPLM.

During the year ended February 28, 2009 the Company acquired four exploration permits, ATP 862, ATP 864, ATP 865, and ATP 866, in the Adavale Basin in Queensland Australia for cash consideration of $30,000 and 7% gross overriding royalty. During the year ending February 28, 2010 the Company incurred $185,800 (2009 - $98,351) in costs during the year relating to these four permits. The Company completed loading and quality checking the seismic and well data available on the four permits. We will require additional funding to discharge our exploration obligations. Should we fail to raise additional funds, we will be unable to carry out our plan of operations.

ATP 862 and 864:

ATP 862 and 864 lie in Central Queensland immediately north of the Gilmore Gas field and the Kenmore Oil fields. The permits cover a gross area of approximately 3.6 million acres. Subject to a 7% Gross Overriding Royalty the Company holds a 100% working interest and is the Operator. Over 3,100 line miles of seismic have been shot over the permit area. The Company incurred $113,307 (2009: $17,119) in acquisition and exploration costs during the 2010 fiscal year.

During the 2010 fiscal year the Company completed loading and quality checking all available seismic data and historical well reports for the permits.   

ATP 865 and 866

ATP 865 and 866 lie in Central Queensland Australia and covers an area of approximately 3.2 million acres. Subject to a 7% Gross Overriding Royalty the Company holds a 100% working interest and is the Operator. Over 2,600 line miles of seismic have been shot over the permit area. Sentry has identified five leads within the application area and a large drill ready prospect, the Sherwood Park prospect. A gas pipeline runs north to the Gilmore Gas Field between the Gumbardo-1 and Emu Creek-1 wells in the western side of the ATP 865. The Company incurred $72,493 (2009: $81,232) in acquisition and exploration costs during the 2010 fiscal year.

During the 2010 fiscal year the Company completed loading and quality checking all available seismic data and historical well reports for the permits.

As of February 28, 2010 and the date of this report the company does not have any proven reserves.

 (b) Business of the Issuer

We are an exploration stage company engaged in the assessment, acquisition, exploration and development of oil, gas, and other hydrocarbon properties in Australia and other regions in Austral Asia. In an effort to evaluate exploration interests that meet our criteria, we assess the potential of properties in Australia and Austral Asia. The assessment includes geochemical and petrological review to determine petroleum source potential and reservoir quality, interpretation and reinterpretation of existing seismic data, as well as consideration of discoveries made by third parties on properties adjacent to, or, depending on circumstances, in the area of the properties we are assessing. Geological conditions are however, unpredictable. The analysis of geochemical, petrological, seismic data, and discovery of reserves on properties adjacent to, or in the area of properties under consideration is no assurance that commercially recoverable reserves of oil and gas will be discovered on properties acquired or under consideration. See Risk Factors under this item.




As of the date of this report we have the right to explore for oil and gas in four permits Queensland, Australia. We have not received any revenues from our operations. We are an exploration stage company. We have no history of earnings and there is no assurance that our business will be profitable. As at February 28, 2010 we have an accumulated deficit of $951,434 and we expect to continue incurring operating losses and accumulating deficits until such time that we achieve profitable operations.

Each of the members of our management team devote approximately 80% of their time to the company. They have not entered into any employment nor consulting agreements with us. They also devote approximately 20% of their time to other business interests. In the course of their work for our company they may choose to work on matters specific to their other business interests at a time that may not be opportune to the best interests of our company. As a result we may loose opportunities that we would have otherwise secured. In such a situation where a conflict of interest exists any decision they make which furthers the best interests of other competing businesses, may be harmful to our business.

There is no assurance that we will earn revenue, operate profitably or provide a return on investment to our security holders.

We require significant additional funding to complete the work program we committed to when acquiring our current exploration properties. We anticipate raising additional financing through the sale of equity securities to finance these exploration obligations, although there can be no assurance that such funding will be available. To date we have held preliminary discussions related to potential future funding. In the event that future equity financing cannot be raised or negotiations for funding are not successful, our plan of operations will be significantly curtailed. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully raise the capital required, when required, to meet these additional costs. Additionally, there can be no assurance that if we are successful in securing funding that we will be successful in discovering commercial quantities of hydrocarbons, or that we will have access to funds to develop a successful discovery without significant dilution or cost to our stockholders.

Our business plan is limited in its scope and we intend to derive all of our revenue from a discovery of commercial quantities of hydrocarbons. Specifically, discovering sufficient quantities of hydrocarbons to warrant their profitable development. We have no other business plans and if we are unsuccessful in discovering commercial quantities of hydrocarbons our business will fail.

QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA PETROLEUM AND COAL EXPLORATION PERMITS

The following is a brief outline of the requirements associated with exploration permits in Queensland Australia and some of the associated expenses incurred in securing approval from the Department of Mines and Energy on ATP permits.

In Queensland, Australia, an onshore exploration permit is a form of tenure granted by the Queensland government under the Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Act 2004. The Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Act grants 2 different types of petroleum tenure, an authority to prospect (ATP) for exploration and a petroleum lease (PL) for development upon commercial discovery of oil or gas. The maximum land area for an ATP tenure is approximately 7,500 sq. km and approximately 225 sq. km for a PL. In each case the area must form a single parcel of land. For an ATP the maximum term for tenure is 12 years (including the initial term and any renewal terms). For a PL the term is 30 years although a PL may be renewed which, in aggregate with previous terms, take the total term of the PL beyond 30 years. Applications for renewal of an ATP petroleum tenure must be made within 60 business days before the end of the existing term and 80 business days before the end of the existing term for a PL.

A work program with total commitment of approximately $13 million over the next two years and has been approved by the state government for ATP 862, 864, 865 and 866. Initial work programs have a maximum term of 4 years and set out the description of the geological model for which we based our work program, our assessment of the potential of discovery and the rationale for the proposed exploration activities. To extend our interest beyond the initial 4-year grant we will be required to submit a new application to the Minister at least 20, but not more than 60, business days before the end of the existing work program. If a later work program is not submitted before the end of the existing work program and we fail to comply with a notice requiring submission of a later work program our ATPs will be cancelled.

If we make a commercial discovery we can make an application for the grant of a PL. The initial term of ATP will continue until a decision is made on the PL application, even if the term of the ATP would otherwise have expired. Under the Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Act, the holder of an ATP has a right of entitlement to the grant of a PL but must satisfy the Minister that the prescribed requirements have been complied with. Specifically; the Minister approving the applicant's proposed initial development plan and the Minister being satisfied that the applicant has sufficient financial and technical resources to carry out the proposed petroleum production or storage activities.




Royalties

 

If we are successful in discovering commercial quantities of oil or gas, secure sufficient funds to develop the discovery and are granted a petroleum license we will be required to pay a royalty at a rate of 10% of the wellhead value of the petroleum sold less allowable expenses. The wellhead value is the sum that could reasonably be expected to be realized on a commercial basis, or the fair market.

Allowable expenses include;

-

Charges paid or payable by us to a third party for transportation to the point of sale.

-

Processing plant tolls or other charges paid or payable by us to a third party for processing the petroleum before it is sold.

-

Depreciation of capital expenditure by us on a petroleum facility or pipeline used for processing the petroleum or transporting it from the wellhead to the point of its sale, allocated over 10 years or a shorter period if the Minister so decides.

-

An operating cost incurred, or to be incurred, by us that directly relates to treating, processing or refining the petroleum before it is sold or transporting the petroleum to the point of its sale.

-

Repairs and maintenance of, and insurance costs for, petroleum facilities and pipelines used to process the petroleum or transport it from the wellhead to the point of its sale.

-

Petroleum tenure rents and Petroleum storage costs.

-

Other expenses incurred, or to be incurred, by us in relation to the operation of the site at which the petroleum was produced that is approved by the Minister.

Accounting profits for purpose of calculating royalties are defined as the excess of net sales revenues over the total of allowable deductions. Allowable deductions are the sum of the foregoing expenses incurred in the current year less any capital proceeds received during the year.

The obligation to determine royalties payable may require additional accounting staff and expenses. Presently, we cannot ascertain the extent of these expenses but anticipate additional costs to collect and maintain sufficient records and to calculate the royalties payable on a quarterly and annual basis.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION IN AUSTRALIA

A complex legislative framework governs environmental regulation for petroleum activities in Australia. The administering authority imposes standard codes of environmental compliance. These codes are used to regulate certain petroleum activities like exploration and development. The environmental assessment process for an ATP is based on whether we are able to comply with the relevant code of environmental compliance and operate within the criteria for exploration. The codes were developed to provide a simplified approval process for ATP activities and include such requirements as how to operate projects in compliance with standard environmental conditions, references to best practice environmental management and advisory notes that provide technical guidelines.

The criteria for an ATP activity are whether potential harm to the environment by the proposed work program can be managed through compliance with the standard environmental codes of environmental compliance. We have received the required environmental authority to complete our proposed work program on the four permits.

PRINCIPAL PETROLEUM PROPERTIES

The following is a summary of the interests held by the Company. The Company’s properties are located in the onshore Adavale Basin in Queensland Australia and are exploration permits. All of the Company’s interests in the Adavale Basin cover approximately 6.9 million net acres. The Adavale Basin is a lightly explored area with previous commercial production. The Adavale Basin system is divided structurally into two main regions by the Canaway Ridge. On the eastern side of this structural divide, the basinal system embraces a main depression and a number of isolated synclinal troughs on its southeastern margin which together constitute the Adavale Basin. West of the ridge, it encompasses the Warrabin and the Barrolka Troughs. Together, during the Devonian, these present day structural remnants were part of a considerably larger basin that had developed on the cratonised Thomson Fold Belt of eastern Australia. All of the Company’s properties are located east of the Canaway Ridge. Apart from our interests in the following hydrocarbon exploration properties, we hold only minor office assets for the purpose of operating our business.

For further detail on each property, and work done during the year, please refer above to Item 1.A - “Business Development” and to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements (Item 3). For details of planned work to be done on each property before February 28, 2011 and for the estimated cost thereof see below Item 5.B - “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.


ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our common shares must be considered a speculative investment. Readers should carefully consider the risks described below before deciding whether to invest in shares of our common stock. If we do not successfully address the risks described below, there could be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, and the trading price of our common stock may decline and investors may lose all or part of their investment. We cannot assure any investor that we will successfully address these risks.

The purchase of the common shares involves a number of significant risk factors. Purchasers of common shares should consider the following.

Risks associated with our business

We were incorporated on February 23, 2006 and have a limited history of operations making it difficult to evaluate our current value and chance of success. We have not had success in discovering commercial quantities of hydrocarbons and there is no guarantee that our acquired properties contain commercial quantities of hydrocarbons or that we will be able to raise the appropriate funds to develop the properties. Our limited history makes it difficult to evaluate the current value of our shares and our chances of success leading to volatility in the value of your investment.

Oil and gas exploration is very competitive and we will not be able to effectively compete with other companies in procuring services required to complete our plan of operations. We are in competition with other companies with greater financial resources and expertise in bidding for and procuring equipment necessary to explore for, develop and produce hydrocarbons and in obtaining the services of personnel in the exploration for, and development and production of, hydrocarbons. Our inability to compete raises the risk that we will be unable to carry out our plan of operations.




 

We have limited financial resources and will have to raise additional funds to expand our business. To date we have held preliminary discussions related to potential future funding but there can be no certainty that market conditions will enable us to raise the funds required. Failure to raise additional funds may result in the failure of our business. As of February 28, 2010, we had $270,635 in working capital. During the past 12 months we continued our work on four ATP properties with expenditures to date totalling $284,151 in purchase, crosschecking and interpreting the seismic mapping data and well reports.  We have no revenues and will rely principally on the issuance of common shares to raise funds to finance the planned expenditures. There is no assurance that market conditions will enable us to raise funds when required, and any equity financing will likely be dilutive to existing shareholders. Should we fail to raise additional funds, we will be unable to carry out our plan of operations. (See ITEM 1 (b) – Business of the Issuer)

We have acquired interests in four Authority to Prospect (ATP) properties, however, we may be unable to meet the terms and conditions of the permit. Failure to meet the prescribed terms and conditions may result in the loss or abandonment of the permit resulting in the inability to carry out our plan of operations. In all cases, the terms and conditions of any future potential permit or license granting us, directly or indirectly, the right to explore for and develop hydrocarbons prescribes a work program and the date or dates before which such work program must be satisfied. Varying circumstances, including our financial resources, availability of required equipment, and other matters, may result in the failure to satisfy the terms and conditions of a permit or license and result in the complete loss of the interest in the permit or license.

Based upon our financial position our auditor has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We will be unable to continue as a going concern if we are unable to earn sufficient revenues from operations or to raise additional capital through debt or equity financings to meet our future capital obligations. As of February 28, 2010 we have working capital of $270,635 sufficient to finance our plan of operations for the next 12 months. If we do not raise the capital required to carry out our plan of operations, we may be unable to continue as a going concern.

There is no assurance that we will discover hydrocarbons on any of our oil and gas interests. Failure to discover hydrocarbons will make it difficult for us to remain as a going concern. There are no known hydrocarbon reserves on any of our oil and gas interests and there is no assurance that we will discover commercial quantities of hydrocarbons. In addition, even if hydrocarbons are discovered, the costs of development may render any deposit found uneconomic. If we do not find hydrocarbon reserves or are unable to develop reserves, either because we do not have sufficient capital or the costs of extraction are uneconomical, we will have to cease operations and investors who have purchased shares may lose their investment.

Geological conditions are variable and unpredictable and heighten exploration risk. Oil and gas exploration and development involves a high degree of risk and few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing properties. Even if production is commenced from a well, the production will inevitably decline and may be affected or terminated by changes in geological conditions that cannot be foreseen or remedied. A change in geological conditions may render a discovery uneconomic.

The marketing and sale of petroleum products is subject to government regulation that may impair our ability to sell hydrocarbons or limit the prices available. Changes to government regulation or laws in the jurisdictions in which we may be operating might result in a discovery becoming uneconomical leading to financial losses. Even if we make discoveries in commercial quantities, development of a discovery may take a number of years and financial conditions at that time cannot be determined. The availability of products sold, or to be sold, may be restricted or rendered unavailable due to factors beyond our control, such as change in laws in the jurisdictions in which we may be operating, changes in the source of supply in foreign countries and prohibition on use due to testing and licensing requirements.

The price for oil and gas is volatile and determined by factors beyond our control. Failure to accurately forecast prices may result in financial losses. Prices for oil and gas may fluctuate widely from time to time depending on international demand, production and other factors that cannot be foreseen. A decline in price may render a discovery uneconomic resulting in unforeseen losses. If a discovery becomes uneconomical due to declining prices, funds spent to develop the discovery might not be recoverable leading to financial losses.

We are subject to local laws and regulations that are subject to change, including tax and land title claims. Any material change could have an adverse effect on our business and our ability to operate. There is no assurance that governmental regulation will not vary, including regulations relating to prices, royalties, allowable production, environmental matters, import and export of hydrocarbons and protection of water resources and agricultural lands. We will be subject to numerous governmental regulations that relate directly and indirectly to our operations including but not limited to title, production, marketing and sale of hydrocarbons, taxation, and environmental matters. There is no assurance that the laws relating to the ownership of petroleum interests and the operation of our business in the jurisdiction in which we operate will not change in a manner that may materially and adversely affect our business.




We are subject to work program commitments, failure to complete on these commitments may result in exploration permits being surrendered. In all cases, the terms and conditions of the permit or licence granting us, or the party from which we acquired, the right to explore for, and develop, hydrocarbons, prescribe a work program and the date or dates before which such work program must be done. Varying circumstances, including the financial resources available to us, equipment availability, reliance on third party operators of permits and licenses, and other circumstances beyond our control or influence may result in the failure to satisfy the terms and conditions of a permit or license and result in the complete loss of the interest in the permit or license without compensation. Such terms and conditions may be renegotiated with applicable regulatory authorities, but there is no assurance that if a term or condition of a license or permit that is required to be satisfied has not been met, that such term or condition will be successfully renegotiated with the applicable authority.

We may participate in permits or licenses with industry partners with access to greater resources to meet their joint venture capital commitments. If we are unable to meet our commitments, the other joint venture participants may assume some or all of our deficiency and thereby assume a portion of our interest in any production from the joint venture area. Property interests may be subject to joint venture and other like agreements, which can give rise to interpretive disputes with other parties who are financially interested in the property. If a participant in a joint venture, which participant has fewer resources than the Company, is unable to meet its commitments, it may delay or veto exploration or development plans which it cannot afford. This may delay the Company's desired exploration and development program and lead to the Company and other participants assuming all or some of the share of the non-committing entity's interest, and therefore meeting a pro-rata share of its required contributions, as well as receiving a pro-rata share of its revenue.

We presently do not carry liability or title insurance and do not plan to secure any in the future. The lack of insurance makes us vulnerable to excessive potential claims and loss of title. We do not maintain insurance against public liability, environmental risks or title. The possibility exists that title to future prospective properties may be lost due to an omission in the claim of title and any claims against us may result in liabilities we will not be able to afford resulting in the failure of the business and the complete loss of your investment.

Our business will be subject to laws that control the discharge of materials into the environment and we may be liable for damages and the costs of removing hydrocarbon spills for which we are held responsible. The laws relating to the protection of the environment have become more stringent and may expose us to liability for the conduct of, or conditions caused by others or for our actions that were in compliance with all applicable laws at the time such acts were performed. The application of these requirements or the adoption of new requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We will conduct a portion of our business in foreign currencies, the value of which fluctuates against the U.S. currency. An appreciation in any of these foreign currencies against the US dollar may have adverse effects on our business. We hold cash reserves in US dollars and in Canadian Dollars but are incurring a significant proportion of our expenses in other foreign currencies. An increase in value of any of these foreign currencies versus the US dollar would have a detrimental effect, as expenses incurred would, in turn, increase in US dollars. While certain fluctuation can be expected to continue there can be no assurance that the exchange rate will stabilize at current rates.

We have no history of earnings and there is no assurance that if we do, that dividends will be declared. We have no history of earnings and there is no assurance that our business will be profitable and, even if profitable, there is no assurance the board of directors will declare dividends on common shares.

Broker-dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in our shares of Common Stock because they are considered penny stocks and are subject to the penny stock rules. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks." Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from such rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that a penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements often have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in any secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. Our common stock is currently subject to the penny stock rules, and accordingly, investors may find it difficult to sell their shares, if at all.

Employees and Consultants.  We are an exploration stage company and we do not have any employees.

Research and Development.  During the year ended February 28, 2010 we spent $174,489 (2009: $70,071) in purchase, crosschecking and interpreting the seismic mapping data and well reports.




Patents, Licenses, Trademarks, Franchises, Concessions, or Royalty Agreements. In the year ended February 28, 2009 the Company acquired interests in four permits (ATP862, 864, 865, 866) in Queensland, Australia for cash consideration of $30,000 and 7% gross overriding royalty.  If we are successful in discovering commercial quantities of oil or gas, secure sufficient funds to develop the discovery and are granted a petroleum license we will be required to pay a royalty at a rate of 10% of the wellhead value of the petroleum sold less allowable expenses. The wellhead value is the sum that could reasonably be expected to be realized on a commercial basis, or the fair market.

 (c) Reports to security holders

This 10K is filed voluntarily and we intend to continue filing periodic reports even if our obligations are suspended under the Exchange Act as far as it is required under the Exchange Act. You may read and copy any materials we file with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding us at the SEC website (http://www.sec.gov).

The exercise price for the options was set at the closing market price on the date the options were awarded. The options awarded in 2009 were approved by shareholders and the Company plans to table the additional 2010 options for shareholder approval at the next annual general meeting.

Recent sales of Unregistered Securities and Use of Proceeds

Our company was incorporated on February 23rd, 2006. Since inception we have issued the following unregistered securities at the following prices. There were no underwriters engaged and no underwriting discounts or commissions paid. All issues were made pursuant to exemptions from registration contained in Regulation S of the 1933 Securities Act.

We completed a private placement of 5,000,000 pre-split shares of our common stock at a price of $0.02 per share to our executive officer on March 8, 2006. The total cash amount we received from this offering was $100,000. We completed the private placement pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act. The executive officer represented to us that he was a non-US person as defined in Regulation S. We did not engage in a distribution of this private placement in the United States. He represented his intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view toward distribution. We requested our stock transfer agent to affix appropriate legends to the stock certificate issued in accordance with Regulation S and the transfer agent affixed the appropriate legends. The executive officer had 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. No registration rights were granted.




 

Penny Stock

The Securities Exchange Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of the Securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and; (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the Commission shall require by rule or regulation.

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, because our common stock is subject to the penny stock rules, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.

Our securities consist of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. On February 5, 2010 our authorized capital was increased to 200,000,000 common shares of which 46,325,600 common shares are issued and outstanding as of May 25, 2010. All of our common stock, issued and unissued, is of the same class and ranks equally as to dividends, voting powers and participation in our assets on a winding-up or dissolution. No common shares have been issued subject to call or assessment. Each common share is entitled to one vote with respect to the election of directors and other matters. The shares of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights.

Therefore, the holders of a majority of shares voting for the election of directors can elect all the directors then standing for election, if they chose to do so, and in such event the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any directors. Our management currently beneficially owns 22% of the outstanding shares of the company's common stock and is in a position to influence all matters subject to stockholder vote. See "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management."

The common shares have no preemptive or conversion rights, and no provisions for redemption, purchase for cancellation, surrender of sinking fund or purchase fund.

Neither our Articles of Incorporation nor our Bylaws contain specific provisions that would delay, defer or prevent a change in control. However, approximately 153,674,400 common stock shares are authorized but unissued as of May 25, 2010. All of such authorized but unissued shares will be available for future issuance by the Board of Directors without additional shareholder approval. These additional shares may be used for a variety of purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital or to facilitate acquisitions. One of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved common stock may be to enable the Board of Directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of Sentry Petroleum by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of management. Such additional shares also could be used to dilute the stock ownership of persons seeking to obtain control of Sentry Petroleum.

Preferred Stock

Our articles of incorporation do not authorize any shares of preferred stock.




Share Purchase Warrants

We have not issued and do not have outstanding any warrants to purchase shares of our common stock.

Options

As of February 28, 2010 2,150,000 management options were outstanding of which 274,999 were available for exercise at an average exercise price of $1.04. Of the 2,150,000 management options, 1,325,000 are pending shareholder approval prior to issuance.

Convertible Securities

We have not issued and do not have outstanding any securities convertible into shares of our common stock or any rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of our common stock.

Nevada Anti-Takeover Laws

Nevada Revised Statutes sections 78.378 to 78.379 provide state regulation over the acquisition of a controlling interest in certain Nevada corporations unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation provide that the provisions of these sections do not apply. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not state that these provisions do not apply. The statute creates a number of restrictions on the ability of a person or entity to acquire control of a Nevada company by setting down certain rules of conduct and voting restrictions in any acquisition attempt, among other things. The statute is limited to corporations that are organized in the state of Nevada and that have 200 or more stockholders, at least 100 of whom are stockholders of record and residents of the State of Nevada; and does business in the State of Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation. Because of these conditions, the statute currently does not apply to our company.

Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities

On April 7, 2006, the Company filed an SB-2 Registration Statement (“SB-2”) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to offer a minimum of 2,500,000 pre-split common shares to a maximum of 5,000,000 pre-split common shares of the Company at $0.10 per common share for minimum proceeds of $250,000 and maximum proceeds of $500,000.  The SB-2 was declared effective on June 19, 2006, and on November 17, 2006, the Company issued 3,162,800 pre-split common shares for cash proceeds of $316,280.

On June 26, 2007, the Company filed an SB-2 Registration Statement (“SB-2”) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to offer up to a maximum of 15,000,000 pre-split common shares of the Company at $0.05 per common share for maximum proceeds of $750,000.  The SB-2 was declared effective on July 11, 2007, and on November 1, 2007, the Company issued 15,000,000 pre-split common shares for cash proceeds of $750,000.

The use of proceeds through February 28, 2010 are as follows:

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

Not required as the Company is a small business issuer, in accordance with Section 12(b)-2 of the Act.


ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

(a) Plan of operation




Our plan of operations for the next 12 months is to continue our work obligations on ATP 862, 864, 865, and 866 in the Adavale basin in Queensland Australia and to continue our assessment of various onshore exploration permits in Australia and Asia.  

We have been in operation only since February 23, 2006 and have experienced losses since that time. As of February 28, 2010, we have $270,635 in working capital. In 2008 we completed a financing of $750,000 and issued 15,000,000 pre split common shares pursuant to our SB-2 registration statement declared effective on July 11 2007. We have sufficient funds to carry out our plan of operations for the next twelve months. We rely principally on the issuance of common shares by private placements to raise funds to finance our business. There is no assurance that market conditions will continue to permit us to raise funds when required. If possible, we will issue more common shares at prices we determine, possibly resulting in dilution of the value of common shares.

We are an exploration stage company with limited operations and have not yet received revenues from operations, generated profitability or experienced positive cash flow from operations. During the next 12 months we will continue the analysis of seismic and well data initiated by consultants previously contracted.  Our CEO, VP of Exploration, and Chief Geophysicist have extensive experience in the oil and gas industry with specific industry experience in exploration in Australia and Asia.

With the company’s successful securing of exploration interests ATP 862, 864, 865, and 866 we are obliged to complete proposed work programs to maintain our interests in good standing. As of February 28, 2010 our committed expenditures over the next two years total $13.3 million. We do not have sufficient capital to satisfy the potential future exploration expenditures and we will rely principally on the issuance of Common Stock to raise funds to finance the expenditures that we expect to incur. Failure to raise additional funds will result in the failure to meet our obligations and the relinquishment of our interest in our acquired permits. We have relied principally on the issuance of Common Stock in private placements to raise funds to support our business but there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funds through the issuance of additional equity.

We do not expect any significant purchases of plant and equipment or any increase in the number of employees in the near future.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the twelve months ended February 29, 2008 total cash of $750,000 was raised through a private placement.

At February 28, 2010, our current assets total $333,054 compared to $473,787 at the beginning of the fiscal year. Our current assets for both periods consisted entirely of cash. During the year ended February 28, 2010, the Company submitted an application for 100% working interest in exploration property EPC 1758 for cash consideration of $37,829  (2009: the Company acquired 100% working interest in four properties, ATP 862, ATP 864, ATP 865 and ATP 866 in Queensland Australia for cash consideration of $30,000 and 7% gross overriding royalty.) We do not have sufficient funds for our expected work program during the next 24 months. Our work programs have been approved by the state government for the next two years. Should we fail to raise additional funds, we will be unable to carry out our plan of operations. We rely upon the sale of our securities to fund operations.

Our current liabilities at February 28, 2010 were $62,419 (2009 - $11,278). Cash on hand is currently our only source of liquidity. We do not have any lending arrangements in place with banking or financial institutions and we do not anticipate that we will be able to secure these funding arrangements in the near future.

 Off-balance sheet arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Stockholders of

Sentry Petroleum Ltd.:


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sentry Petroleum Ltd. (An Exploration Stage Company) as of February 28, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended February 28, 2010 and 2009 and for the period from date of inception, (February 23, 2006) to February 28, 2010.  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 did not audit the period from date of inception (February 23, 2006) to February 28, 2007.  That period was audited by other auditors, whose report, dated April 7, 2007, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.


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


In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of February 28, 2010 and 2009 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended February 28, 2010 and 2009 and period from date of inception (February 23, 2006) to February 28, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company is an exploration stage company and has incurred operating losses since inception, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to their planned financing and other matters are also described in Note 1.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Sentry Petroleum Ltd.

 (An Exploration Stage Company)

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

February 28, 2010


1.

Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business

Sentry Petroleum Ltd. (the “Company”) is an Exploration Stage Company as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 7 “Accounting and Reporting By Development Stage Enterprises” incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 23, 2006 as Summit Exploration Inc. On December 3rd, 2007 the Company changed its name from Summit Exploration Inc. to Sentry Petroleum Ltd. The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas properties.

The Company has no revenues and has not generated any cash flows from operations to fund its acquisition, exploration and development activities. The Company intends to rely upon the issuance of equity securities to finance its oil and gas property acquisitions and exploration and development on acquired properties, however there can be no assurance it will be successful in raising the funds necessary, or that a self-supporting level of operations will ever be achieved. The likely outcome of these future events is indeterminable. As at February 28, 2010, the Company has accumulated losses since inception of $951,434.  These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustment to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of the assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

On April 7, 2006, the Company filed an SB-2 Registration Statement (“SB-2”) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to offer a minimum of 2,500,000 common shares to a maximum of 5,000,000 common shares of the Company at $0.10 per common share for minimum proceeds of $250,000 and maximum proceeds of $500,000.  The SB-2 was declared effective on June 19, 2006, and on November 17, 2006, the Company issued 3,162,800 common shares for cash proceeds of $316,280.

On June 26, 2007, the Company filed an SB-2 Registration Statement (“SB-2”) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to offer up to a maximum of 15,000,000 common shares of the Company at $0.05 per common share for maximum proceeds of $750,000.  The SB-2 was declared effective on July 11, 2007, and on November 1, 2007, the Company issued 15,000,000 common shares for cash proceeds of $750,000.

Effective November 26, 2007, the Company authorized a 2 to 1 share split the effect of which has been retroactively applied.

On April 15, 2008, the Company incorporated a subsidiary company, Sentry Petroleum (Australia) Pty. Ltd.  in order to facilitate exploration activities in Australia.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

a.

Basis of Presentation

These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars.  The Company’s fiscal year-end is February 28.

b.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 donated services 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 liabilities 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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

c.

Comprehensive Loss

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Code (“ASC”) topic 220 “Comprehensive Income” (formerly FAS 130), comprehensive income consists of net income and other gains and losses affecting stockholder's equity that are excluded from net income, such as unrealized gains and losses on investments available for sale, foreign currency translation gains and losses and minimum pension liability. For the year ending February 28, 2010, the Company’s other comprehensive income represented foreign currency translation adjustments.


d.

Cash and Cash Equivalents


The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.  As at February 28, 2010, the Company has $ Nil ($27,328 in 2009) in cash equivalents.  As at February 28, 2010, $114,860 was deposited in accounts that were federally insured ($84,326 in 2009).


e.

Oil and Gas Property


The Company follows the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas operations whereby all costs associated with the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties will be capitalized in cost centers on a country-by-country basis.  These capitalized amounts include the costs of unproved properties, internal costs directly related to acquisitions, development and exploration activities, asset retirement costs and capitalized interest. They include geological and geophysical studies, and costs of drilling both productive and non-productive wells.  


Amortization will be calculated for producing properties by using the unit-of-production method based on proved reserves before royalties, as determined by management of the Company or independent consultants.  Unproved reserves are exempt from amortization and are subject to annual assessment as noted below. Sales of oil and gas properties will be accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs, without any gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas attributable to a cost center.  Costs of abandoned oil and gas properties will be accounted for as adjustments of capitalized cost and written off to expense.


A ceiling test will be applied to each cost center by comparing the net capitalized costs to the present value of the estimated future net revenue from production of proved reserves, based on commodity prices in effect as at the Company’s year-end and based on current operating costs, discounted by 10%, less the effects of future costs to develop and produce the proved reserves, plus the lower of costs or estimated fair value of unproved properties net of impairment, and less the effects of income taxes.  Any excess capitalized costs are written off to operations.


Unproved properties will be assessed for impairment on an annual basis by applying factors that rely on historical experience. In general, the Company may write-off any unproved property under one or more of the following conditions:


i)

there are no firm plans for further drilling on the unproved property;

ii)

 negative results were obtained from studies of unproved property;

ii)

negative results were obtained from studies conducted in the vicinity of the unproved property; or

iv)

the remaining term of the unproved property does not allow sufficient time for further studies or drilling.


f.

Asset Retirement Obligations


The Company will recognize a liability for future asset retirement obligations associated with oil and gas properties.  The estimated fair value of the asset retirement obligation will be based on current cost escalated at an inflation rate and discounted at a credit adjusted risk-free rate.  This liability will be capitalized as part of the cost of the related asset and amortized over its useful life.  The liability will accrete until the Company settles the obligation.  As of February 28, 2010, the Company did not have any asset retirement obligations.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


g.

Fair Value Measurements

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (formerly FAS 157), for all financial instruments and non-financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis.  ASC 820 establishes a single definition of fair value and a framework for measuring fair value, sets out a fair value hierarchy to be used to classify the source of information used in fair value measurement and expands disclosures about fair value measurements required under other accounting pronouncements. It does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value.


The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and credit risk.  The Company has adopted ASC 825, “Financial Instruments”, which allows companies to choose to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not required to be measured at fair value. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any eligible financial instruments.

 


h.

Financial Instruments and Risk


Financial instruments, which include cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and amounts due to a related party were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary’s operations are in Australia, which may result in exposure to market risks from changes in currency rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.  


i.

Foreign Currency Translation


The Company's functional currency is US dollars. Foreign currency balances are translated into US dollars as follows:


Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Non-monetary assets are translated at the rate of exchange in effect at their acquisition, unless such assets are carried at market or nominal value, in which case they are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Revenue and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from foreign currency transactions are included in the determination of net income for the respective periods.  


The functional currency of the wholly owned subsidiary is Australian dollars. The assets and liabilities arising from these operations are translated at current exchange rates and related revenues and expenses at the exchange rates in effect at the time the revenue or expense is incurred. Resulting translation adjustments, if material, are accumulated as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of stockholders' deficit while foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in operations.


j.

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted net income (loss) per share on the potential exercise of the equity-based financial instruments is not presented where anti-dilutive.


k.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, all expected future events other than enactment of changes in the tax laws or rates are considered.

Due to the uncertainty regarding the Company's future profitability, the future tax benefits of its losses have been fully allowed for and no net tax benefit has been recorded in the financial statements during the periods presented.

l.

Stock-based Compensation


On the Company’s inception of February 23, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of ASC topic 718 “Stock Compensation” (formerly FAS 123(R) under which the Company records stock-based compensation expense for warrants and stock options granted to employees, directors and officers using the fair value method. Under this method, stock-based compensation is recorded over the vesting period of the warrant and option based on the fair value of the warrant and option as the grant date. The fair value of each warrant and option granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account on the grant date, the exercise price, expected life of the warrant and/or option, the price of the underlying security, the expected volatility, expected dividends on the underlying security, and the risk-free interest rate. Transactions in which goods or services are received from non-employees in exchange for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.


Stock based compensation is recorded with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital. Consideration received on the exercise of warrants and options, together with the amount previously credited to additional-paid in capital, is recognized as an increase in common stock.


m.

Equipment

Equipment is initially recorded at cost and amortized to operations over its estimated useful life at the following amortization rates and methods:

 

 

Computer equipment and software

55% straight line per annum

Furniture and fixtures

20% straight line per annum


Equipment is written down to its net realizable value if it is determined that its carrying value exceeds the estimated future benefits to the Company.


n.

Revenue Recognition


The company recognizes revenue when a contract is in place, minerals are delivered to the purchaser and collectability is reasonably assured.


o.

Consolidation


The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, Sentry Petroleum (Australia) Pty. Ltd. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.


p.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements


The Company adopts new pronouncements relating to generally accepted accounting principles applicable to the Company as they are issued, which may be in advance of their effective date.  Management does not believe that any recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards; if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.


3.

Unproved properties


The Company’s oil and gas properties are located in Australia and its interests in these properties are maintained pursuant to the terms of Authority to Prospect (“ATP”) granted by the Department of Mines and Energy in Queensland. The Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Act 2004 provides the framework for accessing land to explore and develop petroleum and coal seam gas resources in Queensland. The granting process involves a commitment to a work program that must be carried out within specific time periods. See Note 9 Commitments.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

During the last two fiscal years there has not been a change in auditor.   

There have not been any disagreements with the auditor on any audit or accounting issues.

 

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission 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 conducted an evaluation (the "Evaluation"), under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures ("Disclosure Controls") as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on this Evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our Disclosure Controls were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Controls

We have also evaluated our internal controls for financial reporting, and there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their last evaluation.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are 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 a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management or board override of the control.

The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

CEO and CFO Certifications

Appearing immediately following the Signatures section of this report there are Certifications of the CEO and the CFO. The Certifications are required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Section 302 Certifications). This Item of this report, which you are currently reading is the information concerning the Evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certifications and this information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.

 







Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention of overriding controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2010. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of February 28, 2010, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.

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

Option/SAR Grants

On February 22, 2010 additional management options were awarded to our Board of Directors and management team contingent on shareholder approval. The fair value of each option grant, as opposed to its exercise price, is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  Management option expense is recorded in General and Administrative in the accompanying consolidated statements of income, and was $242,831 for the year ending February 28, 2010 (2009 - $61,022).

Aggregate Option Exercises in the Last Fiscal Year and Fiscal Year-End Option Values

No stock options were exercised by any named executive officer during the 2010 or 2009 fiscal years. As of February 28, 2010 there are 274,999 management options available for exercise at a price of $1.04 per share.

Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards

We do not have any long-term incentive plans that provide compensation intended to serve as incentive for performance to occur over a period longer than one fiscal year, whether such performance is measured by reference to our financial performance, our stock price, or any other measure.

Compensation of directors.

Our Directors do not and will not receive a salary or fees for serving as a director, nor do they receive any compensation for attending meetings of the Board of Directors or serving on committees of the Board of Directors. They are not entitled to reimbursement of expenses incurred in attending meetings. There are no compensation arrangements for employment, termination of employment or change-in-control between the named Executive Officers and the company.

Indemnification

Pursuant to the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the corporation, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a lawsuit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. In certain cases, we may advance expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in any such proceeding as to which such person is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney's fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the state of Nevada.

Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 which may be permitted to directors or officers pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore unenforceable.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

(a) Security ownership of certain beneficial owners and management

We are not directly or indirectly owned or controlled by a corporation or foreign government. As of May 25, 2010, we had an authorized share capital of 200,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share of which 46,325,600 shares are issued and outstanding.

The following table sets forth, as of May 25, 2010, the beneficial shareholdings of persons or entities holding five per cent or more of our common stock, each director individually, each named executive officer and all of our directors and officers as a group. Each person has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of Common Stock shown, and all ownership is of record and beneficial.

As used in this table, "beneficial ownership" means the sole or shared power to vote, or to direct the voting of, a security, or the sole or shared investment power with respect to a security (i.e., the power to dispose of, or to direct the disposition of, a security). In addition, for purposes of this table, a person is deemed, as of any date, to have "beneficial ownership" of any security that such person has the right to acquire within 60 days after such date.

There are no limitations on future issuance of our common stock to management, promoters or their affiliates or associates. We may issue stock to these individuals for services rendered in lieu of cash payments. An issuance of stock will dilute your ownership in our company and might result in a reduction of your share value. We currently have no plans for the issuance of shares to management or promoters or their affiliates or associates for services rendered.

(c) Changes in Control of the Registrant

To the knowledge of management there are no present arrangements or pledges of our securities that may result in a change of control of our Company.

In addition to his position in our management, Mr. Hart is also our only promoter.
