PART I
ITEM 1 - Description of Business
We were incorporated on February 23, 2005 under the laws of the state of
Nevada. On that date, Steven Cozine was appointed as our sole director. Mr.
Cozine was also appointed as our president, secretary, treasurer and chief
executive officer.
The Company is a start-up, developmental stage company and has not yet
generated or realized any revenues from business operations. The Company's
business strategy focused on Chip claim exploration in Canada. In 2007 the
Company decided to exit this business plan and seek a different plan that would
require less start-up capital to develop. The Company's auditors have issued a
going concern opinion in our audited financial statements for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2008. This means that our auditors believe there is doubt that
the Company can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months
unless it obtains additional capital to pay its bills. This is because the
Company has not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated until it
begins the exploration plans on the Chip claims. Accordingly, we must raise cash
from sources such as investments by others in the Company and through possible
transactions with strategic or joint venture partners. In the event we raise
cash, we will likely use such funds to develop a new business plan, which is as
yet undetermined. We do not plan to use any capital raised for the purchase or
sale of any plant or significant equipment. The following discussion and
analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the
Company and the accompanying notes appearing subsequently under the caption
"Financial Statements".
Employees
We have no employees as of the date of this filing other than our sole
director.
Currency Fluctuation
The Company's currency fluctuation exposure is primarily to the Canadian
dollar as all of the Company's properties are in British Columbia. Such
fluctuations may materially affect the Company's financial position and results
of operations.
Subsidiaries
We do not have any subsidiaries.
Patents and Trademarks
We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patents or trademarks.
Reports to Security Holders
The Company does not intend to deliver an annual report to its security
holders. The public may read and copy any materials filed with the SEC, such as
this Form 10-KSB and Form 10-QSB reports. The Company is an electronic filer
under the SEC's EDGAR filing program. Accordingly, the Company's filings are
maintained by the SEC in a database at www.sec.gov and are available to all
security holders.

Risk Factors
An investment in an exploration stage mining company with no history of
operations such as ours involves an unusually high amount of risk, both unknown
and known, and present and potential, including, but not limited to the risks
enumerated below.
Risks Associated with Mining
ALL OF OUR PROPERTIES ARE IN THE EXPLORATION STAGE. THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT
WE CAN ESTABLISH THE EXISTENCE OF ANY MINERAL RESOURCE ON ANY OF OUR PROPERTIES
IN COMMERCIALLY EXPLOITABLE QUANTITIES. UNTIL WE CAN DO SO, WE CANNOT EARN ANY
REVENUES AND IF WE DO NOT DO SO WE WILL LOSE ALL OF THE FUNDS THAT WE EXPEND ON
EXPLORATION. IF WE DO NOT DISCOVER ANY MINERAL RESOURCE IN A COMMERCIALLY
EXPLOITABLE QUANTITY, OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL.
Despite limited exploration work on our mineral properties, we have not
established that any of them contain any mineral reserve, nor can there be any
assurance that we will be able to do so. If we do not, our business will fail. A
mineral reserve is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in its
Industry Guide 7 (http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/forms/industry.htm#sec
guide7) as that part of a mineral deposit, which could be economically and
legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. The
probability of an individual prospect ever having a "reserve" that meets the
requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Industry Guide 7 is
extremely remote; in all probability our mineral resource property does not
contain any 'reserve' and any funds that we spend on exploration will probably
be lost.
Even if we do eventually discover a mineral reserve on one or more of our
properties, there can be no assurance that they can be developed into producing
mines and extract those resources. Both mineral exploration and development
involve a high degree of risk and few properties, which are explored, are
ultimately developed into producing mines.
The commercial viability of an established mineral deposit will depend on a
number of factors including, by way of example, the size, grade and other
attributes of the mineral deposit, the proximity of the resource to
infrastructure, government regulation and market prices. Most of these factors
will be beyond our control, and any of them could increase costs and make
extraction of any identified mineral resource unprofitable.
MINERAL OPERATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW AND GOVERNMENT REGULATION. EVEN
IF WE DISCOVER A MINERAL RESOURCE IN A COMMERCIALLY EXPLOITABLE QUANTITY, THESE
LAWS AND REGULATIONS COULD RESTRICT OR PROHIBIT THE EXPLOITATION OF THAT MINERAL
RESOURCE. IF WE CANNOT EXPLOIT ANY MINERAL RESOURCE THAT WE MIGHT DISCOVER ON
OUR PROPERTIES, OUR BUSINESS MAY FAIL.
Both mineral exploration and extraction require permits from various
federal, provincial and local governmental authorities and are governed by laws
and regulations, including those with respect to prospecting, mine development,
mineral production, transport, export, taxation, labor standards, occupational
health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection,
mine safety and other matters. There can be no assurance that we will be able to
obtain or maintain any of the permits required for the continued exploration of
our mineral properties or for the construction and operation of a mine on our
properties at economically viable costs. If we cannot accomplish these
objectives, our business could fail.
6
We believe that we are in compliance with all material laws and regulations
that currently apply to our activities but there can be no assurance that we can
continue to do so. Current laws and regulations could be amended and we might
not be able to comply with them, as amended. Further, there can be no assurance
that we will be able to obtain or maintain all permits necessary for our future
operations, or that we will be able to obtain them on reasonable terms. To the
extent such approvals are required and are not obtained, we may be delayed or
prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of our
mineral properties.
IF WE ESTABLISH THE EXISTENCE OF A MINERAL RESOURCE ON ANY OF OUR PROPERTIES IN
A COMMERCIALLY EXPLOITABLE QUANTITY, WE WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL IN ORDER
TO DEVELOP THE PROPERTY INTO A PRODUCING MINE. IF WE CANNOT RAISE THIS
ADDITIONAL CAPITAL, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXPLOIT THE RESOURCE, AND OUR
BUSINESS COULD FAIL.
If we do discover mineral resources in commercially exploitable quantities
on any of our properties, we will be required to expend substantial sums of
money to establish the extent of the resource, develop processes to extract it
and develop extraction and processing facilities and infrastructure. Although we
may derive substantial benefits from the discovery of a major deposit, there can
be no assurance that such a resource will be large enough to justify commercial
operations, nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to raise the
funds required for development on a timely basis. If we cannot raise the
necessary capital or complete the necessary facilities and infrastructure, our
business may fail.
MINERAL EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT IS SUBJECT TO EXTRAORDINARY OPERATING RISKS.
WE DO NOT CURRENTLY INSURE AGAINST THESE RISKS. IN THE EVENT OF A CAVE-IN OR
SIMILAR OCCURRENCE, OUR LIABILITY MAY EXCEED OUR RESOURCES, WHICH WOULD HAVE AN
ADVERSE IMPACT ON OUR COMPANY.
Mineral exploration, development and production involve many risks, which
even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be
able to overcome. Our operations will be subject to all the hazards and risks
inherent in the exploration, development and production of resources, including
liability for pollution, cave-ins or similar hazards against which we cannot
insure or against which we may elect not to insure. Any such event could result
in work stoppages and damage to property, including damage to the environment.
We do not currently maintain any insurance coverage against these operating
hazards. The payment of any liabilities that arise from any such occurrence
would have a material, adverse impact on our Company.
MINERAL PRICES ARE SUBJECT TO DRAMATIC AND UNPREDICTABLE FLUCTUATIONS.
We expect to derive revenues, if any, from the eventual extraction and sale
of diamonds as well as precious and base metals such as gold, silver and copper.
The price of those commodities has fluctuated widely in recent years, and is
affected by numerous factors beyond our control including international,
economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange
fluctuations, interest rates, global or regional consumptive patterns,
speculative activities and increased production due to new extraction
developments and improved extraction and production methods. The effect of these
factors on the price of base and precious metals, and, therefore, the economic
viability of any of our exploration projects, cannot accurately be predicted.
THE MINING INDUSTRY IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AND THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL
CONTINUE TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN ACQUIRING MINERAL CLAIMS. IF WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO
ACQUIRE PROPERTIES TO EXPLORE FOR MINERAL RESOURCES, WE MAY BE REQUIRED TO
REDUCE OR CEASE OPERATIONS.
There are hundreds of public and private companies that are actively
engaged in mineral exploration. The exact number is virtually impossible to
quantify. Furthermore, since the mineral exploration sphere is so diverse, it is
quite difficult to identify specific primary competitors and make comparisons to
our Company.
7
Many of our competitors have greater financial resources and technical
facilities. Accordingly, we will attempt to compete primarily through the
knowledge and experience of our management. This competition could adversely
affect our ability to acquire suitable prospects for exploration in the future.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will acquire any interest in
additional mineral resource properties that might yield reserves or result in
commercial mining operations.
THIRD PARTIES MAY CHALLENGE OUR RIGHTS TO OUR RESOURCE PROPERTIES OR THE
AGREEMENTS THAT PERMIT US TO EXPLORE OUR PROPERTIES MAY EXPIRE IF WE FAIL TO
TIMELY RENEW THEM AND PAY THE REQUIRED FEES.
In connection with the acquisition of our mineral properties, we sometimes
conduct only limited reviews of title and related matters, and obtain certain
representations regarding ownership. These limited reviews do not necessarily
preclude third parties from challenging our title and, furthermore, our title
may be defective. Consequently, there can be no assurance that we hold good and
marketable title to all of our mining concessions and mining claims. If any of
our concessions or claims were challenged, we could incur significant costs and
lose valuable time in defending such a challenge. These costs or an adverse
ruling with regards to any challenge of our titles could have a material adverse
affect on our financial position or results of operations. There can be no
assurance that any such disputes or challenges will be resolved in out favor.
We are not aware of challenges to the location or area of any of the mining
concessions and mining claims. There is, however, no guarantee that title to the
claims and concessions will not be challenged or impugned in the future.
Risks Associated with Our Common Stock
BECAUSE OUR COMMON STOCK IS TRADED ONLY ON THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD, YOUR ABILITY
TO SELL YOUR SHARES IN THE SECONDARY TRADING MARKET MAY BE LIMITED.
Currently, our common stock is traded only on the OTC Bulletin Board.
Consequently, the liquidity of our common stock is impaired, not only in the
number of shares that are bought and sold, but also through delays in the timing
of transactions, and coverage by security analysts and the news media, if any,
of our Company. As a result, prices for shares of our common stock may be
different than might otherwise prevail if our common stock was quoted or traded
on a national securities exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ,
or the American Stock Exchange.
OUR STOCK PRICE HAS BEEN VOLATILE AND YOUR INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON STOCK COULD
SUFFER A DECLINE IN VALUE.
Our common stock is traded only on the OTC Bulletin Board. The market price
of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of
factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include price
fluctuations of precious metals, government regulations, disputes regarding
mining claims, broad stock market fluctuations and economic conditions in the
United States.
BECAUSE WE DO NOT INTEND TO PAY ANY DIVIDENDS ON OUR COMMON SHARES, INVESTORS
SEEKING DIVIDEND INCOME OR LIQUIDITY SHOULD NOT PURCHASE OUR SHARES.
We do not currently anticipate declaring and paying dividends to our
shareholders in the near future. It is our current intention to apply net
earnings, if any, in the foreseeable future to increasing our working capital.
Prospective investors seeking or needing dividend income or liquidity should,
therefore, not purchase our common stock. We currently have no revenues and a
history of losses, so there can be no assurance that we will ever have
sufficient earnings to declare and pay dividends to the holders of our shares,
and in any event, a decision to declare and pay dividends is at the sole
discretion of our board of directors, who currently do not intend to pay any
dividends on our common shares for the foreseeable future.
8
OUR STOCK IS A PENNY STOCK. TRADING OF OUR STOCK MAY BE RESTRICTED BY THE SEC'S
PENNY STOCK REGULATIONS, WHICH MAY LIMIT A STOCKHOLDER'S ABILITY TO BUY AND SELL
OUR STOCK.
Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has
adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines "penny stock" to be any equity
security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an
exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our
securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales
practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than
established customers and "accredited investors". The term "accredited investor"
refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or
individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding
$200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a
broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from
the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared
by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and
level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide
the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the
compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and
monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in
the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and
salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in
writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in
writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock
rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt
from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination
that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the
purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements
may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary
market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently,
these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our
securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest
in and limit the marketability of our common stock.
NASD SALES PRACTICE REQUIREMENTS MAY ALSO LIMIT A STOCKHOLDER'S ABILITY TO BUY
AND SELL OUR STOCK
In addition to the "penny stock" rules promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (see above for discussions of penny stock rules), the NASD
has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer,
a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment
is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced
securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make
reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status,
tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations
of these rules, the NASD believes that there is a high probability that
speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some
customers. The NASD requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to
recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your
ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for
our shares.
PLEASE READ THIS FORM 10KSB CAREFULLY. YOU SHOULD RELY ONLY ON THE INFORMATION
CONTAINED HEREIN AND ON THE OTHER REPORTS AND OUR FORM 10SB, AS AMENDED, THAT WE
HAVE FILIED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. WE HAVE NOT AUTHORIZED
ANYONE TO PROVIDE YOU WITH DIFFERENT INFORMATION.

ITEM 2 - Description of Property
The Company's current mailing address is 2300 Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard,
Suite 218, West Palm Beach, Florida 33409. The property consists of
approximately 1,100 square feet of finished office space. Other than this
mailing address, we do not currently maintain any other office facilities. We
pay no rent or other fees for the use of the mailing address as these offices
are used virtually full-time by other businesses of our shareholder. We believe
that the foregoing space is adequate to meet our current needs and anticipate
moving our offices during the next twelve months if we are able to execute our
business plan.
We own the mineral exploration rights relating to the Chip mineral claims.
We do not own any real property interest in the Chip claims or any other
property.
The Chip property consists of three mineral claims comprising a total of
1,106.331 hectares. A "mineral claim" refers to a specific section of land over
which a title holder owns rights to explore the ground and subsurface, and
extract minerals The following is a table of pertinent data regarding the
claims:
Claim Name Tenure No. Hectares Expiry Date
---------- ---------- -------- -------------
Chip 1 562902 491.787 July 12, 2008
Chip 2 562900 307.271 July 12, 2008
Chip 3 562901 163.800 July 12, 2008
ITEM 3 - Legal Proceedings
The Company is not currently party to any material legal proceedings and to
our knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated.
ITEM 4 - Submission of Matters To a Vote of Security Holders.
During the fourth quarter of our fiscal yearend 2008, no matters were
submitted to a vote of the security holders of the Company.
PART II
ITEM 5 - MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
Market Information
There is no established trading market in our Common Stock. The Company's
common stock is traded only on the OTC Bulletin Board (OTC: ZDVN).
Shareholders
As at March 31, 2008 there are approximately thirty five holders of the
Company's Common Stock.
Shares Eligible for Resale
Except for the shares of stock held by our officers and directors, all of
our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock held by non-affiliates are
eligible for sale under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, subject to certain limitations included in said Rule. In general,
under Rule 144, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated), who has
10
satisfied a one year holding period, under certain circumstances, may sell
within any three-month period a number of shares which does not exceed the
greater of one percent of the then outstanding Common Stock or the average
weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to such sale. Rule
144 also permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of shares without any
quantity limitation by a person who has satisfied a two-year holding period and
who is not, and has not been for the preceding three months, an affiliate of the
Company.
In summary, Rule 144 applies to affiliates (that is, control persons) and
nonaffiliates when they resell restricted securities (those purchased from the
Company or an affiliate of the Company in nonpublic transactions). Nonaffiliates
reselling restricted securities, as well as affiliates selling restricted or
nonrestricted securities, are not considered to be engaged in a distribution
and, therefore, are not deemed to be underwriters as defined in Section 2(11),
if six conditions are met:
(1) Current public information must be available about the Company unless
sales are limited to those made by nonaffiliates after two years.
(2) When restricted securities are sold, generally there must be a
one-year holding period.
(3) When either restricted or nonrestricted securities are sold by an
affiliate after one year, there are limitations on the amount of
securities that may be sold; when restricted securities are sold by
non-affiliates between the first and second years, there are identical
limitations; after two years, there are no volume limitations for
resales by non-affiliates.
(4) Except for sales of restricted securities made by nonaffiliates after
two years, all sales must be made in brokers' transactions as defined
in Section 4(4) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or a
transaction directly with a "market maker" as that term is defined in
Section 3(a)(38) of the 1934 Act.
(5) Except for sales of restricted securities made by nonaffiliates after
two years, a notice of proposed sale must be filed for all sales in
excess of 500 shares or with an aggregate sales price in excess of
$10,000.
(6) There must be a bona fide intention to sell within a reasonable time
after the filing of the notice referred to in (5) above.
Capital Risks
We do not currently have sufficient capital to engage in exploration
activities.
The cost of our planned exploration activities over the next two years is
approximately $76,100. As of the date of this filing, we do not have sufficient
capital to engage in exploration activities, and no sources for financing. The
extent to which we will be able to implement our exploration for minerals will
be determined by our ability to engage in offerings of equity securities and/or
debt securities. Without additional capital, we will have to either curtail our
business plan, or abandon it altogether.
We do not have any identified sources of additional capital, the absence of
which may prevent us from continuing our operations.
We do not, presently, have any arrangements with any investment banking
firms or institutional lenders. Because we will need additional capital, we will
have to expend significant effort to raise operating funds. These efforts may
not be successful. If not, we will have to either curtail our business plan, or
abandon it altogether.
SECURITIES AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE UNDER EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS
As at the date of this report there are no securities authorized for
issuance under equity compensation plans.

ITEM 6 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Overview
The Company is a start-up, pre-exploration stage company and has not yet
generated or realized any revenues from business operations. The Company's
auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that its auditors
believe there is doubt that the Company can continue as an on-going business for
the next twelve months unless it obtains additional capital to pay its bills.
This is because the Company has not generated any revenues and no revenues are
anticipated until it begins removing and selling minerals. Accordingly, we must
raise cash from sources such as investments by others in the Company and through
possible transactions with strategic or joint venture partners. In the event we
raise cash, we will likely use such funds to meet our obligations pursuant to
the Option Agreement, for additional exploration and to employ personnel. We do
not plan to use any capital raised for the purchase or sale of any plant or
significant equipment. The following discussion and analysis should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements of the Company and the accompanying
notes appearing subsequently under the caption "Financial Statements."
Results of Operations
Revenues
There is no historical financial information about the Company upon which
to base an evaluation of our performance. The Company did not generate any
revenues from operations for the twelve months ended March 31, 2008.
Accordingly, comparisons with prior periods are not meaningful. The Company is
subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise,
including limited capital resources, possible delays in the exploration of its
properties, and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in
services.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased by $1,259 from $21,335 for the year ended
March 31, 2007 to $22,594 for the year ended March 31, 2008. The increase in our
net operating loss is due to the increase in professional fees.
Interest Expense
The Company currently has no interest expense.
Net Income/Loss
Net loss increased $999 from net operating loss of $21,335 for the year
ended March 31, 2007 to a net operating loss of $22,344 for the year ended March
31, 2008. The increase in net operating loss is due to the increase in
professional fees.
As of March 31, 2008, our accumulated deficit was $69,601.
Assets and Liabilities
Our total assets were $5,123 as of March 31, 2008. Our assets consisted of
cash of $4,032 and prepaid expenses of $1,091.
Total Current Liabilities as of March 31, 2008 were $51,749. Our notes
payable are $9,186 to Steven Cozine, $5,000 to Edward Johnson, and $24,413 to
Jason Smart. Derivative liability arising from note conversion rights was
$2,625.
Plan of Operation
The Company's plan of operation for the next twelve months is to focus on
developing and implementing a new business plan since we have elected to abandon
the Chip claim exploration operations.
12
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $4,032. Our working
capital is presently minimal and there can be no assurance that our financial
condition will improve. We expect to continue to have minimal working capital or
a working capital deficit as a result of our current liabilities.
For the year ended March 31, 2008, we have not generated cash flow from
operations. The Company anticipates establishing long-term financing to fund
operations in the very near future.
As of March 31, 2008, we had cash of $4,032 and a working capital deficit
of $69,601. As of March 31, 2008, we had no outstanding debt other than ordinary
notes payable to Steven Cozine, Edward Johnson and Jason Smart. The Company will
seek funds from possible strategic and joint venture partners and financing to
cover any short term operating deficits and provide for long term working
capital. No assurances can be given that the Company will successfully engage
strategic or joint venture partners or otherwise obtain sufficient financing
through the sale of equity.
No trends have been identified which would materially increase or decrease
our results of operations or liquidity.
Going Concern
We have suffered recurring losses from operations and are in serious need
of additional financing. These factors among others indicate that we may be
unable to continue as a going concern, particularly in the event that we cannot
obtain additional financing or, in the alternative, affect a merger or
acquisition. Our continuation as a going concern depends upon our ability to
generate sufficient cash flow to conduct our operations and our ability to
obtain additional sources of capital and financing.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming that we will continue as a going concern. We have a stockholders
deficit of $69,601 at March 31, 2008 and net losses from operations of $22,344
and $21,335, respectively, for the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
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
materially from those estimates.
Loss per share: Basic loss per share excludes dilution and is computed by
dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share
reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other
contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or
resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in the earnings of the
Company. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the loss available to
common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period and dilutive potential common shares outstanding unless
consideration of such dilutive potential common shares would result in
anti-dilution. Common stock equivalents were not considered in the calculation
of diluted loss per share as their effect would have been anti- dilutive for the
periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.
13
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements. We do not
anticipate entering into any off-balance sheet arrangements during the next 12
months.
ITEM 7. Financial Statements
Our financial statements have been examined to the extent indicated in
their reports by Pollard-Kelley Auditing Services, Inc. For the year ended March
31, 2008 and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted Accounting
principles and pursuant to Regulation S-B as promulgated by the Securities And
Exchange Commission and are included herein, on Page F-1 hereof in response to
Part F/S of this Form 10-KSB.
ITEM 8. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and
Financial Disclosure.
During 2007 we changed auditors from Cinnamon Jang Willoughby & Company to
Pollard-Kelley Auditing Services, Inc..
ITEM 8A. Controls and Procedures
In order to ensure that the information that we must disclose in our
filings with the Commission is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported on
a timely basis, we have formalized our disclosure controls and procedures. Our
principal executive and financial officer has reviewed and evaluated the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange
Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), as of March 31, 2008. Based on such
evaluation, he concluded that, as of March 31, 2008, our disclosure controls and
procedures were not effective, because we failed to timely write off an impaired
lease deposit and we failed to timely record accrued interest expense.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting
during 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Committees of the Board of Directors
We presently do not have an audit committee, compensation committee,
nominating committee, an executive committee of our board of directors, stock
plan committee or any other committees. However, our board of directors may
establish various committees during the current fiscal year.
Compensation of Directors
Our former director has received cash compensation of $2,300 for his
services as a director and may be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses
incurred in attending board or committee meetings.
Terms of Office
Our directors are appointed for one-year terms to hold office until the
next annual general meeting of the holders of our Common Stock or until removed
from office in accordance with our by-laws. Our officers are appointed by our
board of directors and hold office until removed by our board of directors.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
Except as indicated above, no event listed in Sub-paragraphs (1) through
(4) of Subparagraph (d) of Item 401 of Regulation S-B, has occurred with respect
to any of our present executive officers or directors or any nominee for
director during the past five years which is material to an evaluation of the
ability or integrity of such director or officer.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
For companies registered pursuant to section 12(g) of the Exchange Act,
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors,
and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our equity securities,
to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent
shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all
Section 16(a) forms they file. To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the
copies of reports furnished to us and written representations that no other
reports were required, Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our
officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied
with on a timely basis for the period which this report relates.
Code of Ethics
In September 2006, we adopted a Code of Ethics that meets the requirements
Of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We will provide to any person
without charge, upon request, a copy of such Code of Ethics. Persons wishing to
make such a request should contact Jason Smart, Chief Executive Officer, 2300
Palm Beach Lakes Blvd., Suite 218, West Palm Beach, FL 33409. (561) 697-8751.
Conflicts of Interest
None of our officers will devote more than a portion of his time to our
affairs. There will be occasions when the time requirements of our business
conflict with the demands of the officers other business and investment
activities. Such conflicts may require that we attempt to employ additional
personnel. There is no assurance that the services of such persons will be
available or that they can be obtained upon terms favorable to us.
Our officers, directors and principal shareholders may actively negotiate
for the purchase of a portion of their common stock as a condition to, or in
connection with, a proposed merger or acquisition transaction, if any. In the
event that such a transaction occurs, it is anticipated that a substantial
premium may be paid by the purchaser in conjunction with any sale of shares by
our officers, directors and principal shareholders made as a condition to, or in
15
connection with, a proposed merger or acquisition transaction. The fact that a
substantial premium may be paid to members of our management to acquire their
shares creates a conflict of interest for them and may compromise their state
law fiduciary duties to the our other shareholders. In making any such sale,
members of Company management may consider their own personal pecuniary benefit
rather than the best interests of the Company and the Company's other
shareholders, and the other shareholders are not expected to be afforded the
opportunity to approve or consent to any particular buy-out transaction
involving shares held by members of Company management.
It is not currently anticipated that any salary, consulting fee, or finders
fee shall be paid to any of our directors or executive officers, or to any other
affiliate of us except as described under Executive Compensation below.
Although management has no current plans to cause us to do so, it is
possible that we may enter into an agreement with an acquisition candidate
requiring the sale of all or a portion of the Common Stock held by our current
stockholders to the acquisition candidate or principals thereof, or to other
individuals or business entities, or requiring some other form of payment to our
current stockholders, or requiring the future employment of specified officers
and payment of salaries to them. It is more likely than not that any sale of
securities by our current stockholders to an acquisition candidate would be at a
price substantially higher than that originally paid by such stockholders. Any
payment to current stockholders in the context of an acquisition involving us
would be determined entirely by the largely unforeseeable terms of a future
agreement with an unidentified business entity.
ITEM 10 - Executive Compensation
The following table shows all the cash compensation paid by the Company, as
well as certain other compensation paid or accrued, during the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2008 to the Company's President and highest paid executive officers.

Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Rights.
We do not currently have a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Rights Plan.

ITEM 11. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
The following table sets forth, as of March 31, 2008, information with

* Less than 1%.
(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 on
March 31, 2008. As of March 31, 2008, there were 7,755,000 shares of our
common stock issued and outstanding.

ITEM 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Except as described below, none of the following persons has any direct or
indirect material interest in any transaction to which we are a party during the
past two years, or in any proposed transaction to which the Company is proposed
to be a party:
(A) any director or officer;
(B) any proposed nominee for election as a director;
(C) any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares
carrying more than 5% of the voting rights attached to our common
stock; or
(D) any relative or spouse of any of the foregoing persons, or any
relative of such spouse, who has the same house as such person or who
is a director or officer of any parent or subsidiary.

ITEM 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services
Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered
was $10,000 for the audit of our annual financial statements for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 2008 and the reviews of the financial statements included in our
Forms 10-QSB for the fiscal year.
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."
Tax Fees. The aggregate fees 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 were $0 and $0 respectively.
All Other Fees. Other than the services described above, the aggregate fees
billed for services rendered by the principal accountant was $0 and $0,
respectively, for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008.
We have no formal audit committee. However, our entire Board of Directors
(the "Board") is our defacto 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
18
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, the internal auditors 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.
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
year ended March 31, 2008 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 and recommended
that they be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
March 31, 2008, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
Board also approved the reappointment of Pollard-Kelley Auditing Services, Inc.
as independent auditors.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Zandaria Ventures, Inc.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Zandaria Ventures, Inc., (An
Exploration Stage Company) as of March 31, 2008, and the related statements of
income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the one year in the
period ended March 31, 2008 and for the period from February 23, 2005 through
March 31, 2008 (since inception). 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 audits.
We conduct our audits 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 audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in Note 1 the Company has not generated significant revenues or
profits to date. This factor among others raises substantial doubt the Company
will be able to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuation as a
going concern depends upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to
conduct its operations and its ability to obtain additional sources of capital
and financing. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Management's plans concerning this matter are also discussed in Note 1.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of the Company at March 31, 2008,
and the results of its operations and it cash flows for the one year in the
period ended March 31, 2008 and for the period from February 23, 2005 through
March 31, 2008 (since inception), in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting standards.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2008
Note 1. Nature and Continuance of Operations
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 23, 2005 and is
in the pre-exploration stage. The Company has acquired a mineral property
located in the Province of British Columbia, Canada and has not yet determined
whether this property contains reserves that are economically recoverable. The
recoverability of amounts from the property will be dependent upon the discovery
of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company's interest in
the underlying property, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary
financing to satisfy the expenditure requirements under the property agreement
and to complete the development of the property and upon future profitable
production or proceeds for the sale thereof.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The
Company has accumulated a deficit of $69,601 since inception, has yet to achieve
profitable operations 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. These
financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and
classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the
Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company anticipates that
additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of
common stock. The Company may also seek to obtain short-term loans from the
directors of the Company. There are no current arrangements in place for equity
funding or short-term loans.
The Company has adopted March 31 as its fiscal year-end.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon
future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily
involves the use of estimates which have been made using careful judgment.
Actual results may vary from these estimates.
The financial statements have, in management's opinion, been properly prepared
within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized as
follows:
F-7
ZANDARIA VENTURES INC.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2008
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (cont'd)
Pre-exploration Stage Company
The Company complies with Financial Accounting Standard Board Statement ("FAS")
No. 7 and The Securities and Exchange Commission Exchange Act Guide 7 for its
characterization of the Company as pre-exploration stage.
Mineral Property Costs
Mineral property acquisition, exploration and development costs are expensed as
incurred until such time as economic reserves are quantified. From that time
forward, the Company will capitalize all costs to the extent that future cash
flows from mineral reserves equal or exceed the costs deferred. The deferred
costs will be amortized over the recoverable reserves when a property reaches
commercial production. Costs related to site restoration programs will be
accrued over the life of the project. To date, the Company has not established
any proven reserves on its mineral properties.
Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and due to
shareholder approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these
instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that the Company
is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from
these financial instruments.
Environmental Costs
Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed 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 expensed. 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 plan of action
based on the then known facts.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (cont'd)
Income Taxes
The Company uses the assets and liability method of accounting for income taxes
pursuant to FAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes". Under the assets and
liability method of FAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences
between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
The Company reports basic loss per share in accordance with the FAS No. 128,
"Earnings Per Share". Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share
has not been provided as there are no additional securities, financial
instruments or other items that could affect earnings per share.
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.
Note 3. Mineral Property
On April 5, 2005, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement, which
was amended on April 6, 2006, to acquire a 100% interest in a mineral claim
located in British Columbia, Canada.
In order to earn the interest, the Company is required to:
a) pay $2,500 on execution of the agreement (paid March 29, 2005);
b) pay $1,000 for amendment of the agreement (not paid);
c) pay $17,500 on or before April 5, 2007 (not paid)
This agreement is subject to a 2 1/2% net smelter royalty and a 7 1/2% gross

conversion of the note in whole or in part at any time prior to the payment or
within ten days thereafter into common stock of the Company at a conversion rate
of the lesser of 66 2/3% of the average closing bid and ask price on the date of
conversion or $0.25 per share.
Note 6. Stock Issued for Services
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R and Emerging Issues Task Force
("EITF") Issue No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to
Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or
Services". All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration
received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the
fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity
instrument issued whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date of
the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on
which the counter party's performance is complete or the date on which it is
probable that performance will occur.
The amounts that have been charged against income for those services were $250
for the year ended March 31, 2007 and $250 for the year ended March 31, 2008.
