Each of our shareholders holding one share of common stock on the record date of March 30,2009 was entitled to receive an additional two shares of our common stock. 3
AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION On March 30, 2009, our Board of Directors approved a filing with the Nevada Secretary of State an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to increase our authorized capital along with the increase of our shares pursuant to the 2009 Forward Stock Split. Our authorized capital structure increased from 75,000,000 shares of common stock to 150,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $0.001. On March 30, 2009, our Board of Directors approved a filing with the Nevada Secretary of State an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to change the corporate name from "Northern Explorations, Ltd." to "Clean Gen Corporation." On May 12, 2009, an amendment was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State changing our name to "Clean Gen Corporation." On June 8, 2009, our Board of Directors approved a filing with the Nevada Secretary of State an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to change the corporate name back to "Northern Explorations, Ltd." On June 25, 2009, an amendment was filed with the Nevada Secretary of State changing our name back to "Northern Explorations, Ltd." BUSINESS OPERATIONS We are a natural resource company that has been engaged in the exploration, the pursuit of acquisition and development of properties in North America. DOMINUS ENERGY AG FARM-IN AGREEMENT Our Board of Directors approved an engagement letter dated October 21, 2008 (the "Engagement Letter") with Dominus Energy AG ("Dominus"). In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Engagement Letter, we will enter into a formal agreement with Dominus pursuant to which Dominus will introduce to us certain energy and petroleum opportunities and projects located in North America to participate in either for purchase, farm-in, joint venture and or variable interest holder. Effective on November 18, 2008, our Board of Directors approved the execution of a one-year consulting agreement to be effective December 1, 2008 (the "Consulting Agreement") with Dominus. In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Consulting Agreement: (i) Dominus shall advise us regarding certain energy and petroleum opportunities and projects located in North America to either participate in either for purchase, farm-in, joint venture and/or variable interest holder; and (ii) we shall pay to Dominus a monthly fee of $15,000. See "Item 7 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation." During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, our primary activity and focus was the consummation of the Dominus transaction and reviewing potential acquisitions in the natural resources sector. On July 14, 2009, the Company entered into a Farm-in Agreement with Dominus Energy, A. G. (a corporation domiciled in Switzerland) by which we acquired ten percentage points (10%) of Dominus' thirty-five percentage point (35%) participatory interest in various specified oil and gas interests totaling 638 net acres in the Randall Island Prospect (the "Farm-in Agreement"). As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Farm-in Agreement, the Company was to be obligated to pay Dominus the amount of $475,000 to be memorialized in a promissory note (the "Note") which would mature and become due and payable on July 13, 2011. The Note was never executed by the Company and the obligation no longer exists. Under Section 2 of the Farm-in Agreement, the Note was only supposed to be payable by the Company in the event of "successful [test] well completion." In addition, Section 3 of the Farm-in Agreement provides other contingencies to our payments under the Note, including the completion and execution of assignment documents, all of which were conditions precedent to the parties' obligations under both the Note and the Farm-in Agreement, which were required to be waived or satisfied by the parties on or 4
before August 15, 2009 or the Farm-In Agreement otherwise automatically would terminate without any further action by the parties. The parties failed to waive or satisfy any of these conditions contained in the Farm-in Agreement by August 15, 2009. As a result, on August 16, 2009 the Farm-in Agreement and the Note automatically terminated. A copy of the Farm-in Agreement was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on July 20, 2009, and is incorporated herein by reference. On July 28, 2009, the Company entered into an Option Purchase Agreement (the "Option Agreement") by which we acquired from Dominus an option to buy its working interest in gas wells in the Adams-Baggett field in Crockett County, Texas. Under the Option Agreement, Dominus and the Company effectively terminated and released themselves from their prior acquisition agreement announced in early June 2009. Under the Option Agreement, we may exercise our option through October 31, 2009, and Dominus reserves for itself an overriding royalty interest on all revenue generated by the project. A copy of this Option Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on July 29, 2009, and is expressly incorporated herein by reference. The Company on October 31, 2009 failed to exercise its option under the agreement and therefore has let the Option Agreement lapse. The Company terminated its business opportunities with Dominus Energy A.G. MANAGEMENT TEAM - BUSINESS PLAN OBJECTIVES The Company has been as been limited in its activities pursuing other energy or mineral exploration opportunities at this time. The Company has limited financial and management resources which it intends to rebuild. The Company currently operates with an interim CFO who also provides office space to the Company. The Company has appointed an interim Director effective July 12, 2010 and who has as of July 12, 2010 acquired a 27% ownership interest in the Company pursuant to a private transaction (See Item 9B - Other Information). The interim CFO and Director are currently reviewing potential additions to our management team in order to continue building out our existing business plan. The Company has recently been informed that another individual investor has acquired a 27% ownership interest in the Company through a private transaction with one of our former control shareholders and intends to assist the Company in further developing its business plan. The Company has been informed that this individual investor has been assigned outstanding debts owed by the Company to two individuals totaling more than $280,000 (See Item 9B - Other Information). NEW LEASE ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT If mineral quality and quantities are not deemed sufficient from work to be conducted on our potential leases during the first six months of operation, land acquisitions will be reassessed and determined whether adequate capital resources being available to continue such work. We will require additional funding to implement our proposed business activities. See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." We do not expect to make any significant equipment purchases or increase the number of our employees during the next twelve months. Our current business strategy is to obtain resources under contract where possible because management continues to believes that this strategy. At its current level of development this strategy provides the Company the best services available in most circumstances, leads to lower overall costs, and provides the best flexibility for our business operations. COMPETITION We operate in a highly competitive industry, competing with other mining and exploration mineral companies, and institutional and individual investors, which are actively seeking metal and mineral based exploration properties throughout the world together with the equipment, labor and materials required to exploit 5
such properties. Many of our competitors have financial resources, staff and facilities substantially greater than ours. The principal area of competition is encountered in the financial ability to cost effectively acquire prime metal and Mineral exploration prospects and then exploit such prospects. Competition for the acquisition of metal and mineral exploration properties is intense, with many properties available in a competitive bidding process in which we may lack technological information or expertise available to other bidders. Therefore, we may not be successful in acquiring and developing profitable properties in the face of this competition. No assurance can be given that a sufficient number of suitable metal and mineral exploration properties will be available for acquisition and development. MINERAL EXPLORATION REGULATION Our mineral exploration activities could be, subject to extensive foreign laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection and remediation of the environment, protection of endangered and protected species, mine safety, toxic substances and other matters. Mineral exploration is also subject to risks and liabilities associated with pollution of the environment and disposal of waste products occurring as a result of mineral exploration and production. Compliance with these laws and regulations may impose substantial costs on us and will subject us to significant potential liabilities. Changes in these regulations could require us to expend significant resources to comply with new laws or regulations or changes to current requirements and could have a material adverse effect on our business operations. Exploration and production activities are subject to certain environmental regulations which may prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of our operations. In general, our exploration and production activities could be subject to certain foreign regulations, and may be subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations, relating to environmental quality and pollution control. Such laws and regulations increase the costs of these activities and may prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of a given operation. Compliance with these laws and regulations does not appear to have a future material effect on our operations or financial condition to date. Specifically, we may be subject to legislation regarding emissions into the environment, water discharges and storage and disposition of hazardous wastes. However, such laws and regulations, whether foreign or local, are frequently changed and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance. Generally, environmental requirements do not appear to affect us any differently or to any greater or lesser extent than other companies in the industry and our current operations have not expanded to a point where either compliance or cost of compliance with environmental regulation is a significant issue for us. Costs have not been incurred to date with respect to compliance with environmental laws but such costs may be expected to increase with an increase in scale and scope of exploration. Mineral exploration operations are subject to comprehensive regulation which may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated causing an adverse effect on our business operations. Mineral exploration operations are subject to foreign, federal, state, and local laws relating to the protection of the environment, including laws regulating removal of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment. Mineral exploration operations are also subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the design and use of drilling methods and equipment. Various permits from government bodies are required for drilling operations to be conducted; no assurance can be given that such permits will be received. Environmental standards imposed by federal, state, or local authorities may be changed and any such changes may have material adverse effects on our activities. Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing an adverse effect on us. Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damages which we may elect not to insure against due to prohibitive premium costs and other reasons. As of the date of this Annual 6
Report, we have not been required to spend any material amount on compliance with environmental regulations. However, we may be required to do so in future and this may affect our ability to expand or maintain our operations. OIL AND GAS REGULATION The production and sale of oil and gas are subject to various federal, state and local governmental regulations, which may be changed from time to time in response to economic or political conditions and can have a significant impact upon overall operations. Matters subject to regulation include discharge permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds, reports concerning operations, the spacing of wells, unitization and pooling of properties, taxation, abandonment and restoration and environmental protection. These laws and regulations are under constant review for amendment or expansion. From time to time, regulatory agencies have imposed price controls and limitations on production by restricting the rate of flow of oil and gas wells below actual production capacity in order to conserve supplies of oil and gas. Changes in these regulations could require us to expend significant resources to comply with new laws or regulations or changes to current requirements and could have a material adverse effect on our future business operations. REGULATION OF OIL AND NATURAL GAS PRODUCTION Future oil and natural gas exploration, production and related operations will be subject to extensive rules and regulations promulgated by federal, state and local authorities and agencies. Failure to comply with such rules and regulations can result in substantial penalties. The regulatory burden on the oil and natural gas industry increases our cost of doing business and affects our profitability. Although we believe we are in substantial compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, because such rules and regulations are frequently amended or reinterpreted, we are unable to predict the future cost or impact of complying with such laws. Many states require permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds and reports concerning operations and impose other requirements relating to the exploration and production of oil and natural gas. Such states also have statutes or regulations addressing conservation matters, including provisions for the unitization or pooling of oil and natural gas properties, the establishment of maximum rates of production from wells, and the regulation of spacing, plugging and abandonment of such wells. FEDERAL REGULATION OF NATURAL GAS The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") regulates interstate natural gas transportation rates and service conditions, which affect the marketing of natural gas produced by us, as well as the revenues received by us for sales of such production. Since the mid-1980's, FERC has issued a series of orders that have significantly altered the marketing and transportation of natural gas. These orders mandate a fundamental restructuring of interstate pipeline sales and transportation service, including the unbundling by interstate pipelines of the sale, transportation, storage and other components of the city-gate sales services such pipelines previously performed. One of FERC's purposes in issuing the orders was to increase competition within all phases of the natural gas industry. Certain aspects of these orders may be modified as a result of various appeals and related proceedings and it is difficult to predict the ultimate impact of the orders on us and others. Generally, the orders eliminate or substantially reduce the interstate pipelines' traditional role as wholesalers of natural gas in favor of providing only storage and transportation service, and have substantially increased competition and volatility in natural gas markets. The price, which we may receive for the sale of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, would be affected by the cost of transporting products to markets. FERC has implemented regulations establishing an indexing system for transportation rates for oil pipelines, which, generally, would index such rates to inflation, 7
subject to certain conditions and limitations. We are not able to predict with certainty the effect, if any, of these regulations on any future operations. However, the regulations may increase transportation costs or reduce wellhead prices for oil and natural gas liquids. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS Our operations and properties will be subject to extensive and changing federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection, including the generation, storage, handling, emission, transportation and discharge of materials into the environment, and relating to safety and health. The recent trend in environmental legislation and regulation generally is toward stricter standards, and this trend will likely continue. These laws and regulations may (i) require the acquisition of a permit or other authorization before construction or drilling commences and for certain other activities; (ii) limit or prohibit construction, drilling and other activities on certain lands lying within wilderness and other protected areas; and (iii) impose substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from our operations. The permits required for several of our operations are subject to revocation, modification and renewal by issuing authorities. Governmental authorities have the power to enforce their regulations, and violations are subject to fines or injunctions, or both. In the opinion of management, we are in substantial compliance with current applicable environmental law and regulations, and we have no material commitments for capital expenditures to comply with existing environmental requirements. Nevertheless, changes in existing environmental laws and regulations or in interpretations thereof could have a significant impact on our business operations, as well as the oil and natural gas industry in general. The Comprehensive Environmental, Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCL") and comparable state statutes impose strict, joint and several liability on owners and operators of sites and on persons who disposed of or arranged for the disposal of "hazardous substances" found at such sites. It is not uncommon for the neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the hazardous substances released into the environment. The Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA") and comparable state statutes govern the disposal of "solid waste" and "hazardous waste" and authorize the imposition of substantial fines and penalties for noncompliance. Although CERCLA currently excludes petroleum from its definition of "hazardous substance," state laws affecting our operations impose clean-up liability relating to petroleum and petroleum related products. In addition, although RCRA classifies certain oil field wastes as "non-hazardous," such exploration and production wastes could be reclassified as hazardous waste, thereby making such wastes subject to more stringent handling and disposal requirements. We intend to acquire leasehold interests in properties that for many years have produced oil and natural gas. Although the previous owners of these interests may have used operating and disposal practices that were standard in the industry at the time, hydrocarbons or other wastes may have been disposed of or released on or under the properties. In addition, some of our properties may be operated in the future by third parties over which we have no control. Notwithstanding our lack of control over properties operated by others, the failure of the operator to comply with applicable environmental regulations may, in certain circumstances, adversely impact our business operations. The National Environmental Policy Act ("NEPA") is applicable to many of our planned activities and operations. NEPA is a broad procedural statute intended to ensure that federal agencies consider the environmental impact of their actions by requiring such agencies to prepare environmental impact statements ("EIS") in connection with all federal activities that significantly affect the environment. Although NEPA is a procedural statute only applicable to the federal government, a portion of our properties may be acreage located on federal land. The Bureau of Land Management's issuance of drilling permits and the Secretary of the Interior's approval of plans of operation and lease agreements all constitute federal action within the scope of NEPA. Consequently, unless the responsible agency determines that our drilling activities will not 8
materially impact the environment, the responsible agency will be required to prepare an EIS in conjunction with the issuance of any permit or approval. The Endangered Species Act ("ESA") seeks to ensure that activities do not jeopardize endangered or threatened animals, fish and plant species, nor destroy or modify the critical habitat of such species. Under ESA, exploration and production operation, as well as actions by federal agencies, may not significantly impair or jeopardize the species or their habitat. ESA provides for criminal penalties for willful violations of the Act. Other statutes that provide protection to animal and plant species and that may apply to our operations include, but are not necessarily limited to, the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, the Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the National Historic Preservation Act. Although we believe that our operations are in substantial compliance with such statutes, any change in these statutes or any reclassification of a species as endangered could subject us to significant expense to modify our operations or could force to discontinue certain operations altogether. Management believes that we are in compliance with current applicable environmental laws and regulations. MATERIAL AGREEMENTS See "Item 10, Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance" and "Item 11. Executive Compensation." RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES No research and development expenditures have been incurred, either on our account or sponsored by customers, during the past three years. EMPLOYEES We do not employ any person on a full-time or a part-time basis. Mr. Kenneth Yonika, CPA serves as our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

PROPERTIES Our principal office space is located at our Interim CEO's offices. The office space is for corporate identification, mailing, and courier purposes only and is provided to Northern Explorations, Ltd. at no cost, by our CEO while he serves in office. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Management is not aware of any legal proceedings contemplated by any governmental authority or any other party involving us or our properties. As of the date of this Annual Report, no director, officer or affiliate is (i) a party adverse to us in any legal proceeding, or (ii) has an adverse interest to us in any legal proceedings. Management is not aware of any other legal proceedings pending or that have been threatened against us or our properties. ITEM 4. (REMOVED AND RESERVED) 9

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULT OF OPERATION The summarized financial data set forth and discussion below is derived from and should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the period inception (November 17, 2004) to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, including the notes to those financial statements which are included in this Annual Report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to those discussed below and elsewhere in this Annual Report, particularly in the section entitled "Risk Factors." Our audited financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. We are an exploration (development) stage company and have not generated any revenues to date. The following sets forth selected financial information for the periods indicated. We have incurred recurring losses to date. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation. We expect we will require additional capital to meet our long term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through, among other things, the sale of equity or debt securities. RESULTS OF OPERATION FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2010 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2009. Our net loss for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 was ($172,859) compared to a net loss of ($162,648) during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 (an increase of $10,211). During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, we generated no revenues. 11
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, we incurred operating expenses of $172,859 compared to operating expenses of $162,648 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 (an increase of $10,211). Operating expenses incurred during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 consisted of: (i) professional fees of $43,451 (2009: $30,500); (ii) management/consulting fees of $105,680 (2009:$75,000); and (iii) general and administrative of $23,728 (2009: $57,148). Operating expenses incurred during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 increased primarily due to the incurrence of various legal and accounting professional fees associated with the increased scope and scale of our business operations, as well as management fees incurred by our high turnover rate. The Company incurred a consulting fee of $75,000 to Mr. Daniel Hodges of which certain limited services were performed under his agreement. General and administrative expenses incurred during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 decreased due to cost management offset by expenses primarily due to our reporting requirements as a public company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. General and administrative expenses generally include corporate overhead, financial and administrative services, marketing, and consulting costs. Our net loss during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 was ($172,859) or ($0.00) per share compared to a net loss of ($162,648) or ($0.00) per share during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 99,720,000 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2010 As of March 31, 2010, our current assets were none and our current liabilities were $343,337, which resulted in a working capital deficit of ($343,337). As of March 31, 2010, current liabilities were comprised of: (i) $7,352 in accounts payable; (ii) $51,280 in accrued liabilities and expenses; and (iii) $284,705 in loans from related parties. As of March 31, 2010, total liabilities were $343,337 all current in nature. The increase in liabilities as of March 31, 2010 compared to March 31, 2009 was primarily due to the increase in loans from related parties offset by the decrease in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and expenses. Stockholders' deficit increased from $170,478 as of March 31, 2009 compared to $375,337 as of March 31, 2010. CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES We have not generated positive cash flows from operating activities. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, net cash flows used in operating activities was ($186,825), consisting primarily of a net loss of ($172,859) offset by a decrease in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and expenses of $(13,966). For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, net cash flows used in operating activities was ($91,650), consisting primarily of a net loss of ($162,648) offset by increase in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and expenses of $70,998. CASH FLOWS FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009, net cash flows used in investing activities was none. CASH FLOWS FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES We have financed our operations primarily from the issuance of equity and debt instruments. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, net cash flows provided from financing activities was $186,2050 compared to $92,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. Cash flows from financing activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 consisted of loans from two related party shareholders. Cash flows from financing activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 consisted of $92,000 in loans from those related parties. 12
WORKING CAPITAL DEFICIT AND RELATED PARTY FINANCING In the event that insufficient working capital to maintain the corporate entity and implement our business plan is not available, the Company's controlling stockholders may have to maintain the corporate status of the Company and provide all necessary working capital support on the Company's behalf. However, no formal commitments or arrangements to advance or loan funds to the Company or repay any such advances or loans exist. There is no legal obligation for the Company's significant stockholders to provide additional future funding. Further, the Company is at the mercy of future economic trends and business operations for the Company are controlling stockholders to have the resources available to support the Company. At the current time, it is uncertain if the Company's controlling stockholders will provide additional resources to support the corporate entity and satisfy existing debts and obligations. The Company's need for working capital may change dramatically as a result of any business acquisition or combination transaction. There can be no assurance that the Company will identify any such business, product, technology or company suitable for a business transaction in the future. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company would be successful in consummating any acquisition on favorable terms or that it will be able to profitably manage the business, product, technology or company it acquires. PLAN OF OPERATION AND FUNDING We expect that working capital needs will continue to be funded through a combination of loans and further issuances of our securities. Our working capital requirements are expected to increase with the growth of our core business. Further advances and debt instruments, issuances of our equity securities, and anticipated cash flow are expected to be adequate to fund our operations over the next twelve months at our current operational level. We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements. Generally, we have financed operations to date through the proceeds of our private placement of equity and loans. In connection with our business plan, management anticipates additional increases in operating expenses and capital expenditures relating to: (i) operating mineral or resource properties; (ii) possible drilling initiatives on future properties; and (iii) potential property acquisitions. We intend to finance these expenses with issuances of securities and debt. Thereafter, we expect we will need to raise additional capital and generate revenues to meet our long-term operating requirements. Additional issuances of equity and/or convertible debt securities will result in further dilution to our current shareholders. Such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our business operations. The Company is in default under meeting various financial obligations related to management and financial consulting support. Without proper attention, any or all of these agreements could leave the Company vulnerable to a lack of management oversight, inability to obtain operating supplies from vendors and/or potential litigation, including involuntary bankruptcy proceedings. In the event that insufficient working capital to maintain the corporate entity and implement our business plan is not available, the Company's management, stockholders or other related parties may have to maintain the corporate status of the Company and provide all necessary working capital support on the Company's behalf. However, no formal commitments or arrangements to advance or loan funds to the Company or repay any such advances or loans exist. There is no legal obligation for the Company's management, stockholders or other related parties to provide additional funding. The Company has no current plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings with respect to any other potential business transaction. Accordingly, there can be 13
no assurance that sufficient funds will be available to the Company to allow it to cover the expenses related to such activities. Regardless of whether the Company's cash assets prove to be inadequate to meet the Company's operational needs, the Company might seek to compensate providers of services by issuances of stock in lieu of cash. MATERIAL COMMITMENTS As of the date of this Annual Report we do not have any material commitments. PURCHASE OF SIGNIFICANT EQUIPMENT We do not intend to purchase any significant equipment during the next twelve months. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS As of the date of this Annual Report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements. Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 of our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this Annual Report. GOING CONCERN The independent auditors' report accompanying our March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has no operating history, limited cash on hand, no assets and a business plan with inherent risk. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $375,337 since inception and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business plan. The Company's ultimate existence is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to support its daily operations as well as provide sufficient resources to retire existing liabilities and obligations on a 14
timely basis. Further, the Company faces considerable risk in its business plan and a potential shortfall of funding due to our inability to raise capital in the equity securities market. If no additional operating capital is received during the next twelve months, the Company will be forced to rely on funds loaned by management, stockholders or other related parties. The Company anticipates offering future sales of equity securities. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funding through the sales of additional equity securities or, that such funding, if available, will be obtained on terms favorable to or affordable by the Company. In a restricted cash flow scenario, the Company would be unable to complete its business plan steps, and would, instead, delay all cash intensive activities. Without necessary cash flow, the Company may become dormant during the next twelve months, or until such time as necessary funds could be raised in the equity securities market. While the Company is of the opinion that good faith estimates of the Company's ability to secure additional capital in the future to reach its goals have been made, there is no guarantee that the Company will receive sufficient funding to sustain operations or implement any future business plan steps. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS As of the date of this Annual Report, management does not believe that any recently issued accounting standards, as adopted or to be adopted, could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

(An Exploration Stage Company) We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Northern Explorations, Ltd. (the "Company") as of March 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related statements of operation, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period November 17, 2004 (inception) through March 31, 2010. 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 audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 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 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 Northern Explorations, Ltd. as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operation and its cash flows for the years then ended and for the period November 17, 2004 (inception) through March 31, 2010 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company's losses from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. /s/ Chang Park --------------------------------- CHANG G.

NORTHERN EXPLORATIONS, LTD. (An Exploration Stage Company) Notes To Financial Statements March 31, 2010 (Stated in U.S. Dollars) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS Northern Explorations, Ltd. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 17, 2004 (date of inception), and its fiscal year end is March 31st. The Company is an "exploration stage company" as that term is defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 915, DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTITIES. The Company is a natural resource exploration and production company currently engaged in the exploration, acquisition and development of properties in North America. These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $375,337 since inception and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business raising substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial statements have, in management's opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below: a) Mineral Property Costs The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation (November 17. 2004) and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of natural resource and mining properties. Mineral property acquisition and exploration costs are charged to operations as incurred. When it has been determined that a property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the proven and probable reserve. b) Use of Estimates and Assumptions 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. c) Financial Instruments The Company adopted ASC 820, FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DISCLOSURES, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company adopted the standard for 21
non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the current year. The framework requires for the valuation of assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements using a three tiered approach. The statement requires fair value measurement be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e. supported by little or no market activity). Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis At March 31, 2010, the carrying value of the financial instruments measured and classified within Level 1 are based on quoted prices and marked to market. As of March 31, 2010 there are no unrealized gains or losses required to be recorded as related to these investments. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis The non-financial assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value subsequent to initial recognition when they are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. There were no non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. d) Environmental Costs Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are charged to operations or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are charged to operations. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or the Company's commitments to a plan of action based on the then known facts. e) Income Taxes Income taxes are provided in accordance with ASC 740, INCOME TAXES. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. 22
f) Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share The Company reports basic loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, EARNINGS PER SHARE. Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common stock outstanding during that period. As the Company generated net losses for the periods presented, basic and diluted loss per share is the same, as any exercise of options or warrants would be anti-dilutive. g) Comprehensive Loss ASC 220, COMPREHENSIVE INCOME, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As of March 31, 2010, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements. h) Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the balance sheet and statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. i) New Accounting Standards Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. j) Subsequent Events In accordance with ASC 855, SUBSEQUENT EVENTS, the Company has evaluated subsequent events through July 13, 2010, the date of issuance of the audited financial statements. During this period, the Company did not have any material recognizable subsequent events. NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN The Company has no operating history, limited cash on hand, no assets and a business plan with inherent risk. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $375,337 since inception and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business plan. Because of these factors, the Company's auditors issued an audit opinion on the Company's financial statements which includes a statement describing our going concern status. This means, in the auditor's opinion, substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern exists at the date of their opinion. The Company's ultimate existence is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to support its daily operations as well as provide sufficient resources to retire existing liabilities and obligations on a timely basis. Further, the Company faces considerable risk in its business plan and a potential shortfall of funding due to our inability to raise capital in the equity securities market. If no additional operating capital is received during the next twelve months, the Company will be forced to rely on funds loaned by management, stockholders or other related parties. The Company anticipates offering future sales of equity securities. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funding through the sales of additional equity securities or, that such funding, if available, will be obtained on terms favorable to or affordable by the Company. In the event that insufficient working capital to maintain the corporate entity and implement our business plan is not available, the Company's management, stockholders or other related parties may have to maintain the corporate status of the Company and provide all necessary working capital support on the 23
Company's behalf. However, no formal commitments or arrangements to advance or loan funds to the Company or repay any such advances or loans exist. There is no legal obligation for the Company's management, stockholders or other related parties to provide additional future funding. Further, the Company is at the mercy of future economic trends and business operations for the Company's controlling stockholders to have the resources available to support the Company. At the current time, it is uncertain if the Company's management, stockholders or other related parties will provide additional resources to support the corporate entity and satisfy existing debts and obligations. In such a restricted cash flow scenario, the Company would be unable to complete its business plan steps, and would, instead, delay all cash intensive activities. Without necessary cash flow, the Company may become dormant during the next twelve months, or until such time as necessary funds could be raised in the equity securities market. While the Company is of the opinion that good faith estimates of the Company's ability to secure additional capital in the future to reach its goals have been made, there is no guarantee that the Company will receive sufficient funding to sustain operations or implement any future business plan steps. NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable, as applicable, approximates fair value due to the short term nature of these items and/or the current interest rates payable in relation to current market conditions. Interest rate risk is the risk that the Company's earnings are subject to fluctuations in interest rates on either investments or on debt and is fully dependent upon the volatility of these rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments to moderate its exposure to interest rate risk, if any. Financial risk is the risk that the Company's earnings are subject to fluctuations in interest rates or foreign exchange rates and are fully dependent upon the volatility of these rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments to moderate its exposure to financial risk, if any. NOTE 5. SHARE CAPITAL On December 7, 2004, the Company sold 54,000,000 shares of its common stock at $0.0000556 per share. On December 22, 2004, the Company sold 45,000,000 shares of its common stock at $0.000556 per share. On January 17, 2005, the Company sold 720,000 shares of its common stock at $0.00556 per share. On July 14, 2008, the Company authorized and approved a forward stock split of six for one (6:1) of the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The forward stock split increased issued and outstanding shares of common stock from 5,540,000 to 33,240,000 shares of common stock. On March 30, 2009, the Company authorized and approved a forward stock split of three for one (3:1) of the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The forward stock split increased issued and outstanding shares of common stock from 33,240,000 to 99,720,000 shares of common stock. All share amounts and price price per share have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented. We have one class of equity: * Common stock, $ 0.001 par value: 150,000,000 shares authorized; 99,720,000 shares issued and outstanding. As of March 31, 2010, there were no outstanding stock options or warrants. NOTE 6. INCOME TAXES At March 31, 2010 the Company had approximately $400,000 of federal and state net operating losses (NOL) carry forwards, respectively. It is more likely than 24
not that the Company will not fully realize certain federal or states' NOL's. The federal and state NOL carry forwards begin to expire in 2019 and 2014, respectively. The realization of any future income tax benefits from the utilization of net operating losses may be severely limited. Federal and state tax laws contain complicated change of control provisions (generally when a more than 50 percent ownership change occurs within a three-year period), which, if triggered, could limit or eliminate the use of the Company's net operating loss carry-forwards. Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has incurred net operating losses of $375,337, which expire in 2028. Pursuant to ASC 740, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Potential benefit of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured that it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years. The components of the net deferred tax asset as of March 31, 2010, and the effective tax rate and the valuation allowance are indicated below: Net operating loss $ 375,337 Effective tax rate 34% --------- Deferred tax asset $ 127,615 Valuation allowance (127,615) --------- Net deferred tax asset $ -- ========= Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. NOTE 7. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION Functional currency for the Company is in US dollars. the Company will continue to issue financial statements in its established functional currency unless significant changes in economic facts and circumstances indicate clearly that the functional currency has changed. NOTE 8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Two shareholders (related parties) during the periods presented, advanced the Company $284,705 in cash payments. The loans are unsecured and interest free with no specific repayment terms. NOTE 9. CONSULTING AGREEMENTS AND SERVICES On February 5, 2009 the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Capital Consulting, Inc., ("CCI") a corporation of which the Company's former President and Chief Executive officer, Mr. Schaftlien, to provide specific financial consulting services to the Company.

The Company has not made any payments to PCEP for its professional services as of the date of these financial statements.

The assignments for both of these individuals are inclusive of any and all amounts that were loaned to the Company or payments made on behalf of the Company. The Company is not aware of any changes in the terms of the related party loans, nor the intent of the non-U.S. citizen on a demand for repayment from the Company. 26
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE Our principal independent registered public accounting firm is Chang G. Park, CPA. In connection with the appointment of Chang G. Park, CPA as our principal registered accounting firm, we have not consulted Chang G. Park, CPA on any matter relating to the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or contemplated, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements. The reports of Change G. Park CPA on our financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, other than to state that there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. During our fiscal years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, there were no disagreements between us and Chang G. Park, CPA, whether or not resolved, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Chang G. Park, CPA, would have caused Chang G. Park CPA to make reference thereto in their reports on our audited financial statements. ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. PRIOR YEARS EVALUATION An evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of former management, including Richard Novis, our President/Chief Executive Officer until August 18, 2008, Donald Cameron as our President/Chief Executive Officer from August 18, 2008 through November 17, 2008, Ralph Claussner, our President/Chief Executive Officer from November 17, 2008 through February 11, 2010, and Mark Schaftlein, our current President/Chief Executive Officer, and David Naylor, our Chief Financial Officer on the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2009. Based on that evaluation, Messrs. Novis, Cameron, Claussner, Schaftlein and Naylor concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, 27
evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2009 due to lack of audit committee. Such officers also confirmed that there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. However, management is in the process of creating a new audit committee to remediate such material weakness; furthermore, we intend to hire a consulting firm to assess, review and conduct appropriate operational testing effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. CURRENT YEARS EVALUATION Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, also conducted an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any change occurred during the first quarter of 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that the improvements described below were the only such changes during the quarter. As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, no deficiencies were identified in our internal controls over financial reporting which constitute a "material weakness." REMEDIATION PLAN FOR PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED MATERIAL WEAKNESSES During the process of preparing our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009, our management identified the following material weakness as of March 31, 2009. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, a press release, unknown to prior management and unapproved by prior management, was distributed to the general public without the filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K or without compliance with various fact checking protocols. Corrective action was taken by prior management through the filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K on July 29, 2009. There were no other significant changes (including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses) in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Management has taken steps to assure that the Company's former as well as any future investor relations firm issues no document. Only the Company's management may issue press releases and that no press release may be issued without outside legal counsel review for the need to concurrently file a Current Report on Form 8-K is assessed. Further, management has notified all potential sources for press releases that only authorized corporate officers may issue any information on the Company to the general public. Other than as described hereinabove, there has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm, Chang G. Park, CPA 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 Security and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this Annual Report. CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS No changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal 28
quarter ended March 31, 2010; however, we do not currently have an audit committee and management recognizes this as a material weakness which may affect our internal control over financial reporting.

("PCEP") a corporation of which the Company's Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer is solely owned by Mr. Yonika. PCEP performs professional services for the Company under a consulting agreement whereby PCEP is to receive payment of $200 per hour for Mr. Yonika's service in cash or a combination of cash and equity based on a formula that is determined in that agreement.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS As of the date of this Annual Report, the following table sets forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock by each stockholder known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock and by each of our current directors and executive officers. Each person has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock, except as otherwise indicated. Beneficial ownership consists of a direct interest in the shares of common stock, except as otherwise indicated. As of the date of this Annual Report, there are 99,720,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Name and Address Amount and Nature of Percentage of of Beneficial Owner(1) Beneficial Ownership(1) Beneficial Ownership ---------------------- ----------------------- -------------------- Kenneth Yonika, CPA (2) 0 *% 4616 Florida Street, Suite 190 San Diego, California 92116 10% OR GREATER SHAREHOLDERS: Guy Peckham (3) 27,000,000 27.08% Suite 1104, 699 Jiazhou Road Shanghai, China 200041 Steve Lanham (4) 27,000,000 27.08% 28652 Oso Parkway, Suite D Rancho Santa Margarita, California 92688 All executive officers and directors 27,000,000 27.08% as a group (1 person) ---------- * Less than one percent. (1) Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person's actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding as of the date of this Annual Report. As of the date of this Annual Report, there are 99,720,000 shares issued and outstanding. 32
(2) Mr. Yonika through Pacific Crest Equity Partners, Inc.

The payment made be made in cash or a combination of cash and equity based on a formula that has been determined in that agreement. As of the date of this Annual Report the Company is obligated to pay PCEP in the amount of $27,600 if paid only in cash. If the Company is unable to pay this amount in cash and therefore pays only in equity of the Company (i.e. common stock), based upon the formula determined in the agreement PCEP would be entitled to receive shares of common stock (restricted) of the Company based on the variable weighted average price ("VWAP") of the Company's common stock for the 20 trading days prior to the issuance of the common stock, or a set VWAP that the Company and PCEP mutually determine. Based on the formula for payment entirely in equity (no cash payment) and the Company's current VWAP of $0.005 per share, PCEP may receive 22,080,000 shares of common stock as payment in full for the professional services rendered to date. (3) Mr. Peckham acquired his equity interest through a private transaction (see ITEM 9B. - Other Information - Change in Control). (4) Mr. Lanham acquired his equity interest through a private transaction (see ITEM 9B. - Other Information - Change in Control) ITEM 13.
