General
This Annual Report (including, but not limited to, the following section regarding Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) contains forward-looking statements regarding our business, financial condition, results
of operations and prospects. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” and similar expressions or variations of such words are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying forward-looking statements in this Annual Report. Additionally, statements concerning future matters such as the development of new products, enhancements or
technologies, sales levels, expense levels and other statements regarding matters that are not historical are forward-looking statements.
Although forward-looking statements in this Annual Report reflect our good faith judgment, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by us. Consequently, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties and
actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in or anticipated by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences in results and outcomes include without limitation those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” below, as well as those discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report. Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Annual Report.
We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this Annual Report. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made in this Annual Report, which attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Terrasol Holdings Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 2, 2008 and changed its name to Alternative Energy Development Corporation on May 4, 2009. From inception to April 28, 2009, the Company’s principal business
was the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. On April 28, 2009, the Company acquired rights to a certain Technology License and Distribution Agreement dated August 1, 2008 (the “Technology Agreement”) and to a certain Exclusive Manufacturing Agreement dated August 1, 2008 (the “Manufacturing Agreement”) and a change in control of the Company occurred. The Company plans to develop the related technology and manufacture products to reduce fuel use.
On May 5, 2009, the Company effected a 7 for 1 forward stock split, increasing the issued and outstanding shares of common stock from 9,400,000 shares to 65,800,000 shares. All share amounts in the financial statements have been retroactively adjusted for all periods
presented to reflect this stock split.
Overview
As of April 28, 2009, we are no longer in the mineral exploration business. We are now engaged in the business of designing, developing, manufacturing, marketing, and distributing cost-effective after-market fuel conservation technologies.
Currently our exclusive product is the e3 Fuel Saver 7000. The e3 Fuel Saver 7000 is unique in that its operation is unlike any other fuel saving device. The fuel saver was originally engineered in 1995 by an Ohio company called Fuel Concepts
and manufacturing began in 2004. In October of 2006, the fuel saver 7000 was patented (US PATENT 7117859). With the combined efforts of Fuel Concepts and Alternative Energy Development Corporation (“AEDC”), production began and was completed creating a superior fuel saving device, the e3 Fuel Saver 7000.
Fuel saving devices currently being marketed can only be compared to the e3 Fuel Saver 7000 by their reference to reducing fuel consumption. Their process to create the end result verses AEDC’s is completely different. AEDC has the only device
currently using vapor combustion which decreases the need for gas to be used thus creating the reduction in fuel usage. Unlike systems that use hydrogen or magnetic fields, the e3 Fuel Saver 7000 uses combustion to minimize a vehicles consumption of fuel. E3's 3-Stage Cold Vapor System can convert any carbureted and fuel injected gasoline based automobile in to an extremely efficient, fuel saving machine. Normally, vehicles without the e3 Fuel Saver 7000 system installed rely on the injectors in order
to create combustion. Unfortunately, the result is extremely inefficient. For every amount of fuel that is sprayed into each cylinder less than 30% is actually used to fire the cylinder and the rest is wasted into our environment.
The e3 Fuel Saver 7000 canister creates vapor, which is comparable to atomizing the fuel, and the car interprets the message that less fuel is needed while still maintaining the factory’s required air to fuel ratio. The result is less dependence on fuel with
significantly fewer emissions. In extensive road testing conducted in the US and Australia, the e3 Fuel Saver system has been shown to significantly increase fuel mileage and reduce emissions. The e3 Fuel Saver has reported gas mileage increases between 20% - 50%. The average gas mileage boost for vehicles using e3's patented fuel system is over 30% on the highway.
Performance Benefits
e3 Fuel Saver greatly enhances engine power and performance:
• 3 stage vapor based fuel saving system that gives the consumer a significant increase in gas mileage
• Boosts engine power and performance. Quicker pick up and acceleration in town and on the highway.
• Works on automotive gasoline carbureted or fuel injected engines
• Constructed from top quality anodized T-6 aircraft aluminum and polished brass fittings for long lasting protection.
• Works in addition to all other gas savers.
• No moving parts.
• Can be uninstalled and moved to any other gasoline powered car, truck, van or motor home.
• Easily installed in about an hour.
AEDC’s approach is to the market our fuel conservation technology to consumers, business, and government agencies. There is a demand to protect our environment and the e3 Fuel Saver 7000 will provide a sizable contribution to the environment.
Our strategy for Consumer and Business to Business marketing is by advertising through National television, radio and internet commercials, fundraisers, and direct/indirect sales force teams.
Retail price is $300.00 USD. Wholesale is $200.00 USD.
Cost of Good Sold (COGS)
Unit costs is $22.50.
Shipping fees are $2.50.
Technology license and distribution agreement royalty is $40.
Assignment and assumption royalty is $10.
Research and Development
The automotive industry is characterized by continuous technological change, requiring a continuous effort to enhance our existing product and develop new products and technologies. Our research and development expenditures in fiscal 2009 totaled approximately
$15,950. Research and development expenditures were primarily related to enhancements to on our e3 Fuel Saver device, similar next generation devices and the expansion of our intellectual property portfolio.
Manufacturing
Through the Assignment of Exclusive Manufacturing Agreement with Fuel Concepts LLC, the Company’s product manufacturing and assembled is currently located in Ningbo, China. The facility is capable of producing up to 50,000 units every 30 days. As the demand
grows, the company has a secondary plant that will be an exclusive e3 Fuel Saver 7000 manufacturing plant to produce an additional 80,000 units a month.
The Company is of the opinion that Fuel Concepts LLC is in breach of its Exclusive Manufacturing Agreement as assigned. As a result The Company has decided to move its entire product manufacturing and assembly from Ningbo, China to the US. Currently the Company
is in the process of locating an appropriate facility within the United States.
Subcontractors and Suppliers
Our subcontractors will fall into two scenarios. First scenario will be to purchase our units for resale on a pricing structure determined by volume and footprint of targeted locations. Their commission is controlled by their own pricing adjustments
in their direct sale. The subcontractor is accepting personal payment and liability from their customer.
The other scenario is that the subcontractor will purchase product on an “as needed” basis and payment is made for units directly to AEDC. Subcontractor receives a commission per unit. The subcontractor is accepting payments on behalf of AEDC.
Our dealer distributor network consists of: Automotive dealerships, repair facilities and retailers whose inventory tailor to after-market automotive products.
Warranty
The e3 Fuel saver 7000 has no movable parts which keeps potential repairs to a minimum. Proper installment (Install performed by a “Certified Installer”) is what determines if a warranty replacement is valid. There is a standard 1 year manufacturer’s
warranty.
Labor requirements
Our labor force will consist of direct sales team members, marketing representatives, operational staff, and call center representatives. The Company anticipates an executive and administrative staff of 10-15 employees over the next twelve months.
Employees will be paid based upon position. All sales positions are independent contractors and are paid a commission per unit. Manufacturing representatives are also paid as sales people.
Marketing Plan
Target Audiences include: City and State Municipalities, Government Agencies, Fleet, Taxi Cabs Companies, Limousine Companies, Rental Car Companies, Auto Dealers, TV / Radio, Retailers, Internet, Print Ads, Direct Mail Community Outreach Campaigns.
Competition
Fuel saving devices currently being marketed can only be compared to the e3 Fuel Saver 7000 by their reference to reducing fuel consumption. Their process to create the end result verses AEDC’s is completely different. AEDC has the only device
currently using vapor combustion which decreases the need for gas to be used thus creating the reduction in fuel usage. Unlike systems that use hydrogen or magnetic fields, the e3 Fuel Saver 7000 uses combustion to minimize a vehicles consumption of fuel. E3's 3-Stage Cold Vapor System can convert any carbureted and fuel injected gasoline based automobile in to a extremely efficient, fuel saving machine.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
In addition to historical information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ substantially from those referred to herein due to a number of factors, including but not
limited to risks described in the section entitled Risk Factors and elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Our Business
As of April 28, 2009, we are no longer in the mineral exploration business. We are now engaged in the business of designing, developing, manufacturing, marketing, and distributing cost-effective after-market fuel conservation technologies.
Currently our exclusive product is the e3 Fuel Saver 7000. The e3 Fuel Saver 7000 is unique in that its operation is unlike any other fuel saving device. The fuel saver was originally engineered in 1995 by an Ohio company called Fuel Concepts and manufacturing

On July 14th, 2009 the company entered into a binding Letter of Intent with Potts Advertising of Fort Lauderdale, Florida to be the Exclusive Marketing Agent for product sales to automobile dealers within North America. The Agreement calls for Potts
to provide up to 835 dealer/ resellers by the end of June 2010.
On July 8th, 2009 the company entered into a Dealer Agreement with Bennett Wholesale LLC of Colombia South Carolina to serve as Non-Exclusive reseller of the Company’s e3 Fuel Saver Product throughout South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia. The Agreement
has a term of five (5) years and calls for Bennett to purchase from the Company a minimum of 5,000 e3 Fuel Saver units during the first twenty four months of the term, following the shipment and delivery of initial fifty (50) units.
On July 20th, 2009 the company entered into a Dealer Agreement with Dandy Enterprises LLC of St. Paul Minnesota to serve as Non-Exclusive reseller of the Company’s e3 Fuel Saver Product throughout Minnesota. The Agreement has a term of five (5) years and
calls for Dandy to purchase from the Company a minimum of 5,000 e3 Fuel Saver units during the first twenty four months of the term, following the shipment and delivery of initial fifty (50) units.
On October 1, 2009 the Company entered into a $200,000 contract to buy advertising space and a "micro-site" on Oprah.com. The campaign, which is planned to run through February 28, 2010, required a $50,000 non-refundable down payment which has been paid. The campaign
is for the purchase of a minimum of 18,641,750 "impressions" and a co-branded "micro-site" featuring AEDC's core product, the e3 Fuel Saver. Various banner ads featuring the company and its product(s) as well as the micro-site are scheduled to run through out the duration of the campaign.
Results of Operations
Twelve months ended July 31, 2009 compared to the twelve months ended July 31, 2008
Revenues.
Total Revenues during the twelve months ended July 31, 2009 were $309 compared to $0 for the time period June 2, 2008 to July 31, 2008. The $309 represents the sale of a single e3 fuel saver. The increase is primarily due to management’s
decision to change its business operations from mineral exploration to business of designing, manufacturing, marketing and distributing cost-effective after market fuel conservation technologies.
Cost of Equipment and Services.
Total Cost of Equipment and Services during the twelve months ended July 31, 2009 were $51 compared to $0 for the time period June 2, 2008 to July 31, 2008. The $51 represents the cost of equipment and services for a
single e3 fuel saver. The increase is primarily due to management’s decision to change its business operations from mineral exploration to business of designing, manufacturing, marketing and distributing cost-effective after market fuel conservation technologies.
Research and Development Expenses.
Total Research and Development during the twelve months ended July 31, 2009 were $15,950 compared to $0 for the time period June 2, 2008 to July 31, 2008. The increase is primarily due to management’s
decision to change its business operations from mineral exploration to business of designing, manufacturing, marketing and distributing cost-effective after market fuel conservation technologies. Research and development expenditures were primarily related to enhancements to our e3 Fuel Saver device, similar next generation devices and the expansion of our intellectual property portfolio.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.
Total Selling, General and Administrative Expenses during the twelve months ended July 31, 2009 were $228,354 compared to $19,424 for the time period June 2, 2008 to July 31, 2008. For the twelve months
ended July 31, 2009, the selling, general and administrative expenses were comprised of $133,584 for compensation related expenses, $14,999 for selling and marketing, $5,402 for amortization of licensing agreement, $2,700 for donated services, $5,500 for impairment of mineral property acquisition costs, $295 for exploration costs and $65,874 for general and administrative expenses. For the time period June 2, 2008 to July 31, 2008, the selling, general and administrative expenses were comprised of
$3,000 for exploration costs, $600 for donated services and $15,824 for general and administrative expenses. The increase is primarily due to management’s decision to change its business operations from mineral exploration to business of designing, manufacturing, marketing and distributing cost-effective after market fuel conservation technologies.
Milestones
The milestones for the next 12 months are as follows:
(1) Complete current orders for 27,000 units in the following foreign territories:
Australia, New Zealand, Guam, Panama, USA, South Africa
(2) Open a minimum of one major distributor for each of the following foreign territories:
Australia, New Zealand, Guam, Panama, USA, South Africa
(3) Increase present Dealer / installation Locations from 30 to 100 in the next 12 months
(4) Launch first US based national television advertising campaign
Looking Forward
With an estimated 250 million registered highway vehicles in the United States as of 2006, an estimated 622 million passenger vehicles in the world as of 2008, and an estimated annual 68 million passenger and commercial vehicles produced globally as of 2006, their
exists a sizeable potential market for the Company’s product. Additionally, the average passenger vehicle in the United States travels in excess of 12,000 miles and consumes almost 550 gallons of gas per year. Although there are alternative engine types being developed, gasoline engines should continue to be the dominant technology for the foreseeable future. As a result, we expect the number of carbureted and fuel injected gasoline vehicles in the world to continue increase. As we
look forward to the next several months, the following items are likely to have an impact on our business:
|
•
|
|
We believe that many political and environmental watchdog groups will continue to promote “green” products and the conservation of natural resources including crude oil.
|
|
•
|
|
We believe the continuing economic recession will encourage consumers, businesses and governmental agencies to seek methods of cutting expenses.
|
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation
of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, valuation of intangible assets and investments, share-based payments, income taxes and litigation. We base our estimates on historical and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions
that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results that differ from our estimates could have a significant adverse effect on our operating results and financial position. We believe that the following significant accounting
policies and assumptions may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity than others.
Revenue Recognition
We derive revenue principally from sales of our e3 Fuel Saver device. Revenue is recognized when the units are shipped to our customers.
Valuation of Intangible Assets
As our business develop new patents and acquires other licensing agreements that will result in the recording of goodwill and other intangible assets, and the recorded values of those assets may become impaired in the future. As of July 31, 2009, our goodwill and
intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization, were $394,598. The determination of the value of such intangible assets requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect our consolidated financial statements. For intangible assets purchased in a business combination or received in a non-monetary exchange, the estimated fair values of the assets received (or, for non-monetary exchanges, the estimated fair values of the assets transferred if more clearly evident) are used to establish their
recorded values, except when neither the values of the assets received or the assets transferred in non-monetary exchanges are determinable within reasonable limits. Valuation techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach and/or cost approach are used to measure fair value. An estimate of fair value can be affected by many assumptions which require significant judgment. For example, the income approach generally requires assumptions related to the appropriate business model to be used to estimate
cash flows, total addressable market, pricing and share forecasts, competition, technology obsolescence, future tax rates and discount rates. Our estimate of the fair value of certain assets may differ materially from that determined by others who use different assumptions or utilize different business models. New information may arise in the future that affects our fair value estimates and could result in adjustments to our estimates in the future, which could have an adverse impact on our results of operations.
We assess potential impairments to intangible assets when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recovered. Our judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators
and future cash flows related to intangible assets are based on operational performance of our businesses, market conditions and other factors. Although there are inherent uncertainties in this assessment process, the estimates and assumptions we use, including estimates of future cash flows, volumes, market penetration and discount rates, are consistent with our internal planning. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record an impairment charge on all or
a portion of our goodwill and intangible assets. Furthermore, we cannot predict the occurrence of future impairment-triggering events nor the impact such events might have on our reported asset values. Future events could cause us to conclude that impairment indicators exist and that goodwill or other intangible assets associated with our acquired businesses are impaired. Any resulting impairment loss could have an adverse impact on our results of operations.
From Inception on June 2, 2008
Revenues

Cost of Equipment and Services
Cost of equipment and services revenues from inception are $51 which represents the sale of a single e3 7000 fuel saver unit
Research and Development Expenses
From inception, research and development expenses were $15,950. Research and development expenditures were primarily related to enhancements to on our e3 Fuel Saver device, similar next generation devices and the expansion of our intellectual property portfolio.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
From inception, selling, general and administrative expenses were $230,281. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $133,584 for compensation related expenses, $14,999 for selling and marketing, and $81,698 for general and administrative expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity are our existing cash, cash equivalents, and proceeds from loans from Morton Weisbrot, a shareholder. Cash and cash equivalents were $5,246 at July 31, 2009, a decrease of $27,840 from July 31, 2008.
Contractual Obligations / Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
Future Accounting Requirements
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157 (FAS 157), “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about assets and liabilities measured at fair value
in the financial statements. FAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 157-2 (FSP 157-2) which delays the effective date of FAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, until the beginning of the first quarter of
fiscal 2010. In October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 157-3 (FSP 157-3) which clarifies the application of FAS 157 in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. The accounting provisions of FAS 157 for financial assets and financial liabilities were effective for our fiscal 2009 beginning September 29, 2008. The adoption of FAS 157 for financial
assets and financial liabilities has not had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We are in the process of assessing the effects, if any, the adoption of FAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159 (FAS 159), “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115,” which provides companies the irrevocable option
to measure many financial assets and liabilities at fair value with the changes in fair value recognized in earnings (the fair value option) resulting in an opportunity to mitigate volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. We do not expect the adoption of this FSP to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows in future periods.
In December 2007, the FASB revised Statement No. 141 (FAS 141R), “Business Combinations,” which establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer in a business combination (i) recognizes and measures in its financial statements
the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, (ii) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and (iii) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. FAS 141R will be effective for our fiscal 2010 beginning August 1, 2009. We do not expect the adoption of this FSP to have
a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows in future periods.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 142-3
,
“Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”
(“FSP No. FAS
142-3”). FSP No. FAS 142-3 applies to recognized intangible assets that are accounted for pursuant to SFAS No. 142. FSP No. FAS 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The guidance for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset will be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. The disclosure requirements will be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, the effective
date. We do not expect the adoption of this FSP to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows in future periods.
In May 2009, the FASB issued statement No. 165 (FAS 165), “Subsequent Events,” establishes updated guidelines for evaluation of subsequent events for disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued
or available to be issued. The disclosure requirements will be applicable to interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this FSP has not had a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Alternative Energy Development Corp. (formerly Terrasol Holdings Ltd.)
I have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Alternative Energy Development Corp. (formerly Terrasol Holdings Ltd.) (the Company), a development stage company, as of July 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficiency), and cash flows for the year ended July 31, 2009, the period
June 2, 2008 (inception) to July 31, 2008, and the period June 2, 2008 (inception) to July 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audits.
I conducted my audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I 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. I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Alternative Energy Development Corp. (formerly Terrasol Holdings Ltd.) , a development stage company, as of July 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended July 31,
2009, the period June 2, 2008 (inception) to July 31, 2008, and the period June 2, 2008 (inception) to July 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The accompanying financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company’s present financial situation raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in
regard to this matter are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Alternative Energy Development Corporation
(formerly Terrasol Holdings Ltd.)
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
July 31, 2009
Note 1.Organization and Business Operations
Terrasol Holdings Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 2, 2008 and changed its name to Alternative Energy Development Corporation on May 4, 2009. From inception to April 28, 2009, the Company’s principal business was the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. On April 28,
2009 (see Note 4), the Company acquired rights to a certain Technology License and Distribution Agreement dated August 1, 2008 (the “Technology Agreement”) and to a certain Exclusive Manufacturing Agreement dated August 1, 2008 (the “Manufacturing Agreement”) and a change in control of the Company occurred. The Company plans to develop the related technology and manufacture products to reduce fuel use.
On May 4, 2009, the Company amended the articles of incorporation and changed the name of the Company from Terrasol Holdings Ltd. to Alternative Energy Development Corporation and increased the authorized common stock from 100,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares. Also the Company designated 20,000,000 shares of its preferred stock
as Class A Convertible Preferred Stock.
On May 5, 2009 (see Note 7), the Company effected a 7 for 1 forward stock split, increasing the issued and outstanding shares of common stock from 9,400,000 shares to 65,800,000 shares. All share amounts in these financial statements have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to reflect this stock split.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has generated revenue of $309 since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate
earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at July 31, 2009, the Company had cash of $6,256 and has accumulated losses of $263,407 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
F-6
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
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 July 31.
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with US 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to donated services and deferred income tax valuations. 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.
c)
|
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
|
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "
Earnings per Share
". SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available
to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible securities using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive
potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive.
SFAS No. 130, “
Reporting Comprehensive Income
,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. For the periods ended July 31, 2009 and 2008, except for net loss, the Company had no items that
represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.
e)
|
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.
F-7
SFAS No. 157, “
Fair Value Measurements
”, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective
evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. SFAS No. 157 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level
1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less
active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related party. Pursuant to SFAS No. 157, the fair value of our cash equivalents is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The
Company believes that the recorded values of all of the other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 109 “
Accounting for Income Taxes
” as of its inception. Pursuant to SFAS No. 109, the Company is required to compute
tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefit of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.
F-8
h)
|
Foreign Currency Translation
|
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance with SFAS No. 52, “
Foreign Currency Translation
”, using the exchange rate prevailing
at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. The Company has not, to the date of these financials statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (“SAB 104”), “
Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements
.” Revenue is recognized when the price is fixed
or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the products are delivered to the customer, and collectability is reasonably assured.
j)
|
Mineral Property Costs
|
Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized when incurred using the guidance in EITF 04-02,
“Whether Mineral Rights Are Tangible or Intangible Assets”.
The Company assesses the carrying costs
for impairment under SFAS 144,
“Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets”
at each fiscal quarter end. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If
mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.
Long-lived assets, including license agreement costs, are evaluated for impairment whenever events or conditions indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the related asset or group of assets, a loss is recognized for the
difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset or group of assets.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation.
m)
|
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
|
Certain accounting pronouncements have been issued by the FASB and other standard setting organizations which are not yet effective and have not yet been adopted by the Company. The impact on the Company’s future financial statements from adoption of these pronouncements is not expected to be material.
F-9
Note 3. Mineral Property
In June 2008, the Company acquired a 100% interest in the Terrasol Lode Claim located in Clark County, Nevada at a cost of $5,500. At April 30, 2009, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $5,500 as it had not been determined whether there were proven or probable reserves on the property. During the year ended July 31, 2009,
the Company paid $295 in maintenance fees.

On April 28, 2009, the Company entered into two Assignment Agreements to acquire the right, title and interest to a technology license and distribution agreement (the “Technology Agreement”) and to an exclusive manufacturing agreement (the “Manufacturing Agreement”) in consideration for 2,000,000 shares of
Class A Convertible Preferred Stock (see Note 6) and a $10 royalty obligation to Assignor for each unit sold. The stated purchase price in the Assignment Agreement is $1,220,000 payable in the form of 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Convertible Preferred Stock. However, the Company recorded the acquisition at the $400,000 estimated fair value of the 2,000,000 shares of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock at April 28, 2009.
The Company recorded amortization expense of $5,402 for the period April 28, 2009 to July 31, 2009 (using the straight line method over the approximately 19.25 years remaining term, including option terms, of the Technology Agreement).
Pursuant to the Technology Agreement, the Company has the exclusive rights to manufacture, sell and distribute products embodied in United States Patent No. 7117859 until August 1, 2013. The Company has three options to extend the term by 5 years per option upon the same terms and conditions as the initial term. In the original terms
of the Technology Agreement, the Company had a $40 royalty obligation to Fuel Concepts LLC (the initial licensor) for each unit sold over 6,000 units per year. On June 18, 2009, an amendment to the Technology Agreement was signed which provides for the $40 royalty obligation on all units sold (not on only those over 6,000 units per year) commencing in the second year of the agreement. Also, the amendment provides for the delivery of 1,000,000 shares of Company common stock to Fuel Concepts LLC. The
Company has included the $10,000 estimated fair value the shares at June 18
th
, 2009 in general and administrative expenses.
Pursuant to the Manufacturing Agreement, Fuel Concepts LLC has the exclusive world-wide non-assignable right to manufacture products for the Company at a specified price per unit for 5 years.

Note 5. Related Party Transactions
On June 4, 2008, the Company issued 6,000,000 (42,000,000 post forward stock split) shares of common stock at $0.001 per share to the president of the Company for cash proceeds of $6,000. On April 23, 2009, 1,000,000 (7,000,000 post forward stock split) shares were returned to the Company and cancelled.
As of July 31, 2008, the Company was indebted to the former president of the Company for $125, for expenses paid on behalf of the Company. This amount was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on demand.
On July 31, 2009, the Company granted a promissory note to the controlling stockholder of the Company in the amount of $167,805. The promissory note carries a simple interest rate of 10% and is due in full, principal and interest, on July 30, 2010. The promissory note was issued in consideration of the stockholder’s
payments of advances to the Company ($62,300), costs incurred prior to the Company’s acquisition of the Technology Agreement and Manufacturing Agreement ($100,455), and costs incurred subsequent to the Company’s acquisition of the Technology Agreement and Manufacturing Agreement ($5,050).
Through April 2009, the Company received services from its former president at no cost to the Company. For accounting purposes, the estimated fair value of these donated services ($300 per month for the services) is included in the statements of operations as an expense and additional paid-in capital is increased by the same amounts.
For the year ended July 31, 2009, the Company expensed $2,700 in donated services.
Note 6. Preferred Stock
The preferred stock may be divided into and issued in series. The Board of Directors of the Company is authorized to divide the authorized shares of preferred stock into one or more series, each of which shall be so designated as to distinguish the shares thereof from the shares of all other series and classes.
On May 4, 2009, the Company designated 20,000,000 shares of its preferred stock as Class A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Class A Stock”). Each share of Class A Stock is convertible into 20 shares of common stock, has 100 votes, has no dividend rights except as may be declared by the Board of Directors, and has a liquidation
preference of $1.00 per share.
F-11
Note 7. Common Stock
On June 4, 2008, the Company issujed 6,000,000 (42,000,000 post forward stock split) shares of common stock at $0.001 per share to the president of the Company for cash proceeds of $6,000.
On July 18, 2008, the Company issued a total of 4,400,000 (30,800,000 post forward stock split) shares of common stock to 44 investors at $0.01 per share for cash proceeds of $44,000.
On November 25, 2008, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective the Company’s registration statement to register 4,400,000 (30,800,000 post forward stock split) shares of common stock held by certain stockholders (the “selling stockholders”) of the Company. The Company will not receive any proceeds
from any sales of such shares.
On April 23, 2009, the former president of the Company returned 1,000,000 (7,000,000 post forward stock split) shares to the Company and these shares were cancelled.
On May 5, 2009, the Company effected a forward stock split of its common stock in a ratio of seven (7) new shares for every one (1) existing share of common stock. As a result, the issued and outstanding share capital increased from 9,400,000 shares of common stock to 65,800,000 shares of common stock. All share amounts have been
retroactively adjusted for all periods presented.
At July 31, 2009, the Company had no stock option plan and there were no options or warrants outstanding.

Based on management’s present assessment, the Company has not yet determined it to be more likely than not that a deferred tax asset of $89,169 at July 31, 2009 attributable to the future utilization of the net operating loss carry-forward of $254,768 will be realized. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% allowance against
the deferred tax asset in the financial statements. The Company will continue to review this valuation allowance and make adjustments as appropriate. The net operating loss carry-forward expires $18,824 in 2028 and $235,944 in 2029.
Current United States income tax laws limit the amount of loss available to offset against future taxable income when a substantial change on ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited.
Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies
On May 5, 2009, the Company entered into an exclusive employment agreement with its president and chief executive officer for a term of two years ending May 4, 2011. The agreement provides for annual compensation of $120,000 and the grant of 1,000,000 shares of Company common stock (500,000 shares to vest in May 2010 and 500,000

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.
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 July 31, 2009. 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 July 31, 2009, 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.
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.

Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards
We do not have any long-term incentive plans that provide compensation intended to serve as incentive for performance.
Indemnification
Under our 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. We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he 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 under Nevada law, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public
policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

We are currently not subject to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
On June 4, 2008, the Company issued 6,000,000 (42,000,000 post forward stock split) shares of common stock at $0.001 per share to the president of the Company for cash proceeds of $6,000. On April 23, 2009, 1,000,000 (7,000,000 post forward stock split) shares
were returned to the Company and cancelled.
As of July 31, 2008, the Company was indebted to the former president of the Company for $125, for expenses paid on behalf of the Company. This amount was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on demand.
As of July 31, 2009, the Company is indebted to Morton Weisbrot, the Assignor and a stockholder of the Company for $167,805, for expenses paid. On July 31, 2009, the Company granted a promissory note to Morton Weisbrot, a stockholder of the Company in the amount
of $167,805. The promissory note carries a simple interest rate of 10% and is due in full, principal and interest, on July 30, 2010. The promissory note was issued in consideration of the stockholder’s payments of advances to the Company ($62,300), costs incurred prior to the Company’s acquisition of the Technology Agreement and Manufacturing Agreement ($100,455), and costs incurred subsequent to the Company’s acquisition of the Technology Agreement and Manufacturing Agreement ($5,050).
The Company received services from its former president at no cost to the Company. For accounting purposes, the estimated fair value of these donated services ($300 per month for the services) is included in the statements of operations as an expense and additional
paid-in capital is increased by the same amounts. For the twelve months ended July 31, 2009, the Company expensed $2,700 in donated services.
