COMPENSATION OF OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
We currently have not formulated a compensation package for our officers and directors. Any compensation package that we offer will vary depending upon the needs of the Company. We may offer cash, common stock, and options as incentives to join our Board. We believe that equity based compensation provides more upside potential to our officers and ties their compensation to the success of the Company. On the other hand, we understand that some of our officers/directors require a steady cash flow and will accommodate to the fullest extent possible. Once our compensation committee is established, it will be the responsibility of the compensation committee to establish guidelines for officer and director compensation.
The following tables present information about compensation of the Companys Officers and Director for the r the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

1.
Mr. Birge was also appointed to our Board of Directors to fill the seat vacated by Mr. Crupi. Mr. Birge was issued 500,000 shares of our restricted common stock. The common stock vests 1/12 th per month commencing January 1, 2008. Mr. Birge is to receive $87,000 in annual compensation. He has received $12,000 in cash compensation and $ 75,000 was paid by share issuance. On December 16, 2008. Mr. Birge tendered to the Company for cancellation all previously issued stock options.
2.
Ms. Letellier is to receive $68,835 in annual compensation. She has been paid $8,835 in cash compensation and the balance was paid by share issuance. Ms. Letellier was never granted any options.
3.
Mr. Reed is to receive an annual salary of $30,000. This salary has been paid to Mr. Reed by share issuance. On December 16, 2008, Mr. Reed tendered to the Company for cancellation all previously issued stock options.

It should be noted that both Mr. Birge and Mr. Reed tendered their stock options for cancellation without payment of any consideration by the Company. With limited operations, the exercise price of the options significantly out of the money and the fact that any potential financing could be adversely affected if based on the number of issued and outstanding shares calculated on a fully diluted basis, both Mr. Birge and Mr. Reed agreed that the cancellation of the outstanding stock options was in the best interests of the Company. Based on the foregoing, the Company has no outstanding stock options.
Employment Agreements
There are no written employment agreements with any of our officers. Mr. Birge will be paid an annual salary of $87,000, Ms. Letellier receives an annual salary of $68,835 and Mr. Reed receives an annual salary of $30,000.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF
CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock as of October 20, 2008, on which date there were 56,806,885 shares outstanding, inclusive of any shares which could be exercised pursuant to any options or warrants owned by our officers or directors and each person known by us to beneficially own 5% or more of the outstanding shares of such class of stock, based on filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and certain other information, each of our named executive officers and directors, and all of our executive officers and directors as a group.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting and investment power. In addition, under SEC rules, a person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of securities, which may be acquired by such person upon the exercise of options and warrants or the conversion of convertible securities within 60 days from the date on which beneficial ownership is to be determined.
9
Except as otherwise indicated in the notes to the following table, we believe that all shares are beneficially owned, and investment and voting power is held by the persons named as owners.

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 on October 20, 2008. As of October 20, 2008 there were56,806, 885 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.
As of the date of this Information Statement, none of our officers, directors or former officers have any outstanding options.

ITEM II.
Matters Related to HLB Cinnamon Jang Wiloughby & Company PA
Our Board of Directors has unanimously adopted a resolution to approve the appointment of HLB Cinnamon Jang Willoughby & Company PA (HLB) as our independent registered public accounting firm to audit our books and records for the year ended June 30, 2009. The holders of shares representing a majority of our common stock have given their written consent to the resolution. Under Nevada corporate law, the consent of the holders of a majority of the shares is effective as shareholders' approval.
The following information is provided with respect to the services that HLB has provided on our behalf:
AUDIT FEES. The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered was $ 21,000 and $30,000 for the audit of our annual financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $ 10,718 and $ 6,880 for the reviews of the financial statements included in our Forms 10-QSB for the fiscal years ended 2008 and 2007 respectively.
AUDIT-RELATED FEES. The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and not reported under the caption "Audit Fee."
None.
TAX FEES. No fees were billed in each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning services.
ALL OTHER FEES. Other than the services described above, there were no other services provided by our principal accountants for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.
We have no formal audit committee. However, our entire Board of Directors (the Board") serves in the capacity of the audit committee. In discharging its oversight responsibility as to the audit process, the Board obtained from the independent auditors a formal written statement describing all relationships between the auditors and us that might bear on the auditors' independence as required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, "Independence Discussions with Audit Committees." The Board discussed with the auditors any relationships that may impact their objectivity and independence, including fees for non-audit services, and satisfied itself as to the auditors' independence. The Board also discussed with management and the independent auditors the quality and adequacy of its internal controls. The Board reviewed with the independent auditors their management letter on internal controls.
11
The Board discussed and reviewed with the independent auditors all matters required to be discussed by auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, including those described in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, "Communication with Audit Committees". The Board reviewed the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 with management and the independent auditors. Management has the responsibility for the preparation of the Company's financial statements and the independent auditors have the responsibility for the examination of those statements. Based on the above-mentioned review and discussions with the independent auditors and management, the Board of Directors approved the Company's audited consolidated financial statements.
Matters Related to our 10:1 Reverse Split
Our Board of Directors has unanimously adopted a resolution to a reverse split of our common stock at the ratio of 10:1 (the "Reverse Split"). The holders of shares representing a majority of our common stock have given their written consent to the resolution. Under Nevada corporate law, the consent of the holders of a majority of the shares is effective as shareholders' approval.
The proposed Reverse Stock Split will reduce the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock to approximately 10% of the number of shares currently outstanding. Accordingly the Reverse Stock Split will decrease the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock from 56,806,885 to approximately 5,680,689 shares. We will continue to have 200 million shares of authorized common stock.
The following table indicates the impact of the 10:1 Reverse Stock Split:
No. of Authorized
No of shares issued
No. of shares Authorized
Shares
and outstanding but unissued
Pre Split
200,000,000

______________________________________________________________________________
Post Split
200,000,000
5,680,689
194,319,311
We have not reserved any shares for future issuance and as a result, we will have the ability to issue all unissued but authorized shares of common stock. The Reverse Split will not affect the number of shares of common stock that we are authorized to issue or the par value of the shares. Rather, the Reverse Split will result in an increase in the number of authorized but unissued shares of our common stock.
12
The Reverse Stock Split will not affect the proportionate equity interest in the Company of any holder of the Common Stock, subject to the provisions for the elimination of fractional shares as described below. The Reverse Stock Split will not result in any dilution to our current shareholders. However, the Reverse Stock Split will result in an increase in the number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock. As a result, in the event that we identify an acquisition candidate or secure additional financing, there is a risk that you will experience greater dilution had the Reverse Stock Split not been approved.
Anti-Takeover effects of the Increase in authorized but unissued shares:
The Reverse Stock Split Proposal is not intended as an anti-takeover device and it is not expected to function unintentionally as one. The Company is not aware of any present efforts by any person to obtain control of the Company.
Neither our certificate of incorporation or bylaws contain any provisions with respect to any anti-takeover matters. Moreover, there are no documents or agreements of any kind or nature that have material anti-takeover consequences.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, as a result of the reverse stock split, we will have a significantly larger number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock which would be available for future issuance without our shareholders' approval. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes including but not limited to equity financing, corporate acquisitions and employee incentive plans. The issuance of such shares may also be used to deter a potential takeover of the Company that may otherwise be beneficial to shareholders by diluting the shares held by a potential suitor or issuing shares to a shareholder that will vote in accordance with the Company's Board of Directors' desires. A takeover may be beneficial to shareholders because, among other reasons, a potential suitor may offer shareholders a premium for their shares of stock compared to the then-existing market price.
The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved shares of common stock may enable the Board of Directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which would render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of the Company's management.
Reasons for Approving the Reverse Stock Split
We will require additional financing to fund our plan for continued growth. The Board of Directors has reviewed various alternatives for additional financing and has come to the conclusion that an increase in the market price of the common stock may enhance the marketability of the common stock and so improve our prospects for obtaining additional financing. It is hoped that the Reverse Split will increase the per share market price of the common stock.
13
Recently, the market price for our common stock has been only pennies per share. Many brokerage firms are reluctant to recommend lower priced stocks to their clients. The policies and practices of some brokerage houses tend to discourage individual brokers within those firms from dealing in lower priced stocks. Additionally, the brokerage commission on the purchase or sale of stock with a relatively low per share price generally tends to represent a higher percentage of the sales price than the brokerage commission charged on a stock with a higher per share price. The Board of Directors believes that these issues are best addressed by an increase in the inherent value per share of common stock that will occur as a result of the Reverse Split.
We do not currently have any specific capital-raising plans or proposals. We may seek to issue debt or equity securities, common stock warrants, convertibles notes or any combination of the foregoing. Any such offering may take the form of a private placement, public offering, rights offering, other offering or any combination of the foregoing at fixed or variable market prices or discounts to prevailing market prices. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise sufficient capital on favorable, or any, terms.
We do not have any current plans, proposals or arrangements, written or otherwise, to issue additional equity securities with respect to any financing, business acquisition, joint venture or other business opportunity.
The Board believes that, absent the Reverse Split, the Company is not likely to obtain any additional financing. Accordingly, the Board believes that the proposed Reverse Split is essential to our prospects for raising additional financing through the sale of its common stock or derivative securities.
General Effect of the Reverse Split
The New Common Stock will not be different from the common stock held by our shareholders prior to the Reverse Split. The holders of the New Common Stock will have the same relative rights following the Effective Date as they had before the Effective Date.
As a result of the Reverse Split, every 10 shares of common stock outstanding on the effective date of the Reverse Split will be exchanged for one post-Reverse Split share of our common stock ("New Common Stock"). No fractional shares or scrip will be issued; rather, shareholders who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Split will receive a whole share of common stock rounded up to the next highest whole number. No fractional shares will be issued. Instead, all fractional shares will be rounded up to one whole share. The rounding up of any fractional shares which would result from the Reverse Stock Split will result in an insignificant increase in the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock. However, there will not be an increase in the number of shareholders as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.
14
Exchange of Stock Certificates and Elimination of Fractional Share Interests
We will not require our shareholders, but our shareholders will have the option, to exchange their certificates representing Common Stock outstanding prior to the Reverse Stock Split Proposal (referred to hereinafter as Pre-Split Shares) for new certificates representing Common Stock after the Reverse Stock Split Proposal (referred to hereinafter as Post-Split Shares). Our Transfer Agent will accept for transfer either the Pre-Split or the Post-Split Shares.
Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following discussion is a general summary of certain of the United States federal income tax consequences of the exchange of Pre-Split Shares for Post-Split Shares pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split Proposal. This summary does not purport to cover all aspects of federal income taxation that may be relevant to a stockholder. This summary does not discuss any aspect of state, local, foreign or other tax laws. In addition, certain stockholders (including without limitation banks, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, financial institutions, broker dealers, foreign persons and partnerships) may be subject to special rules not discussed below.
This discussion is only a summary of material United States federal income tax consequences of the reverse stock split. Investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the particular tax consequences to them of the reverse stock split, including the effect of any United States federal tax laws, any state, local or non-United States tax laws, and any applicable tax treaty.
Treatment of the exchange of Pre-Split Shares for Post-Split Shares.
No gain or loss should be recognized by a stockholder upon such stockholders exchange of Pre-Split Shares for Post-Split Shares. The aggregate adjusted tax basis of the Post-Split Shares received in the reverse stock split will be the same as the stockholders aggregate adjusted tax basis in the Pre-Split Shares that are exchanged. The stockholders holding period for the post-split shares will include the period during which the stockholder held the Pre-Split Shares.

IV.
Matters Related to Amending our Certificate of Incorporation to Change our name to
Wind Works Power Corp.
Since our inception we have been engaged in several different business fields, none of which were successful. Our initial focus was to develop high speed wireless internet access to the public via public hot spots. This business venture was not successful and was terminated in early 2006. In June 2006, we changed our business focus to concentrate on precious metal exploration, primarily gold and silver. In furtherance thereof, we acquired mining rights to several different mining concessions. None of this proved successful. Moreover, management has determined that even if we can locate proven reserves of either gold or silver, the costs to commence mining operations would be prohibitive and it is very unlikely that we will be able to enter into a joint venture agreement. Based on the foregoing, we have decided to suspend mining operations and redirect our attention to alternative energy sources.
In furtherance thereof, management has been investigating opportunities in wind power. Management believes that renewable energy supplies will be in increasing demand over the next ten years. In order for us to proceed with this business model, management felt that amending our certificate of incorporation to change our name to a company reflecting alternative energy sources is critical.
The Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of our outstanding common stock have approved a change in the Companys name to Wind Works Power Corp. (or similar name) to more accurately reflects the planned operations of the Company. By changing our name, shareholders and prospective investors will see that our business focus will be wind power and not in any way related to the mining sector.
