ELECTION OF LANCE AYERS AS THE SOLE MEMBER
OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

On February 2, 2009, Noel Noel, Ltd. (the Majority Stockholder) approved the election of Lance Ayers as the sole member of the Board of Directors.
CONSENT REQUIRED
Approval of the election of Mr. Ayers required the consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock, as of the Record Date. Noel Noel, Ltd. (the Majority Stockholder) who owns 5,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock or approximately 71.80% of the total outstanding shares of common stock as of the Record Date, has given its consent to the election of Lance Ayers as the Companys sole director. Noel Noel, Ltd. is owned and controlled by Jamie Hunter. Noel Noel, Ltd. has executed a written consent in favor of the action. Action was taken pursuant
-4-
to Nevada Revised Statutes 78.320 which provides that such action which might be taken at a meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting if a record thereof be made in writing and signed by persons owning an majority of the voting power. We did not solicit shareholders or participate in the action by the majority shareholders to elect Mr. Ayers as our sole director. Accordingly, we did not have to comply with Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 relating to the solicitation of proxies. We do not intend to seek additional stockholder approval prior to the effectiveness of this action. This Information Statement is being mailed to you solely for your information.

BOARD MEETINGS, COMMITTEES, COMPENSATION AND INDEPENDENCE
Board Meetings and Committees
During fiscal year ended February 29, 2008, our Board of Directors did not hold any meetings, but took actions by unanimous consent on a number of occasions.
On January 19, 2009, Mr. Ayers was appointed as our president, principal executive officer, secretary and a director.
On January 21, 2009, Lisa McIntosh resigned as our principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, treasurer and a member of the board of directors.
On January 21, 2009, Bruce McIntosh resigned as our secretary and member of the board of directors.
On January 21, 2009, Mr. Ayers was appointed secretary, treasurer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee consists of all of our directors. None of our directors are or were independent as defined by the National Association of Securities Dealers Marketplace Rules. We have no audit committee financial expert. We do not have an audit committee financial expert because we believe the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. Further, we believe the services of a financial expert are not warranted at this time.
-5-
The Audit Committee generally has responsibility for appointing, overseeing, and determining the compensation of our independent certified public accountants, reviewing the plan and scope of the accountants audit, reviewing our audit and control functions, approving all permitted non-audit services provided by our independent certified public accountants, and reporting to our full Board of Directors regarding all of the foregoing. The Audit Committee communicates with the independent certified public accountants in connection with its review and approval of (i) the unaudited financials for inclusion in our quarterly reports and (ii) the annual audited financial statements for inclusion in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Audit Committee also provides our Board of Directors with such additional information and material as it may deem necessary to make our Board of Directors aware of significant financial matters that require its attention. Additionally, the Audit Committee considers any related party transactions between the Company or any of its subsidiaries and any director, officer or the majority shareholder of the Company. The Audit Committees goals and responsibilities are set forth in a written Audit Committee Charter. The Audit Committee did not hold any meetings and took no action during the year ended February 29, 2009 or thereafter.
Disclosure Committee
We have a disclosure committee and disclosure committee charter. Our disclosure committee is comprised of all of our officers and directors. The purpose of the committee is to provide assistance to the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer in fulfilling their responsibilities regarding the identification and disclosure of material information about us and the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of our financial reports. Our disclosure committee did not meet in 2008
Compensation Committee
We do not have a compensation committee.
Nominations to the Board of Directors
The Company believes that it is appropriate for the Company not to have a standing nominating committee or committee performing similar functions because it is appropriate for the full board to consider and make such director nominations, with the approval of a majority of the independent directors.
Director nominees may be identified by the Board of Directors through current board members, officers, shareholders or other persons. Any shareholder desiring to submit a nomination to the Board of Directors should send the recommendation in writing, together with appropriate background and contact information, to the Secretary of the Company at the address of the Companys principal executive offices set forth previously. The Board of Directors has not established formal minimum qualifications for a director nominee and evaluates any nominee on a case-by-case basis.
Relationships
Jamie Hunter is the owner of Noel Noel, Ltd. which owns 5,000,000 shares of our common stock or 71.80% of the total outstanding shares of the Company. Mr. Hunter exercises dispositive and voting control over the shares of common stock owned by Noel Noel, Ltd.

United Kingdom NE63 8RS | Directors |
Mr. Ayers held several positions specializing in the area of purchasing, marketing, retail development and product procurement. From March of 1997 to May of 2005, Mr. Ayers was a Purchasing Manager for Dallas based Synapse Micro Inc., a wholesale supplier of consumer electronics and computer peripherals. Prior to his work with Synapse Micro, Mr. Ayers worked in the purchasing department for Grand Prairie based Parsons International, specializing in international product procurement. In September of 2005, Mr. Ayers founded Windgrid, Inc., a private developmental stage wind technology and energy company based in Plano, TX. Mr. Ayers continues to serve as the President and sole Director of that company.
During the past five years, Mr. Ayers has not been the subject of the following events:
1. Any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which Mr. Ayers was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time.
2. Any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding.

Code of Ethics
We have adopted a code of ethics. We believe our code of ethics is reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct; provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in public reports; comply with applicable laws; ensure prompt internal reporting of code violations; and provide accountability for adherence to the code.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of our common shares and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations that no other reports were required, and to the best of our knowledge, we believe that Lisa McIntosh and Bruce McIntosh failed to file Forms 3s when the Company registered its shares of common stock under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and failed to file Form 4s upon the sale of their shares of common stock to Noel Noel, Ltd. Mr. Ayers and Noel Noel, Ltd. have not filed their Form 3s, but will do so shortly.
Director Independence and Board Committees
Mr. Ayers, our sole director, will not be independent based upon other offices he holds with the Company.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
No interlocking relationship exists between our board of directors and the board of directors or compensation committee of any other company, nor has any interlocking relationship existed in the past.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
To date, we have not paid any of our officers or directors any compensation. Accordingly, we have no compensation policies. Compensation arrangements and policies for these directors and officers will be established by our Board of Directors.
We do not currently have any long-term incentive plans that provide compensation intended to serve as incentive for performance.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
For the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008, the Audit Committee operated under a written charter adopted by our Board of Directors. The Audit Committee members are comprised of all of the members of the Board of Directors and their responsibilities and functions are not intended to duplicate or to certify the activities of management and the independent certified public accountants. Currently, the Board of Directors is comprised on one person. That person is Lance Ayers. Prior to his appointment to the Board of Directors, our board was comprised of Lisa McIntosh and Bruce McIntosh. Both Ms. McIntosh and Mr. McIntosh have resigned their board positions. The Audit Committee oversees our financial reporting process on behalf of our Board of Directors. Our management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and reporting process, including our systems of internal controls.
During the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008, the Audit Committee did not meet. The Audit Committee has not met since our fiscal year ended February 29, 2008.
We do not have an audit committee financial expert. We do not have an audit committee financial expert because we believe the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. Further, because we have no operations, at the present time, we believe the services of a financial expert are not warranted.
The report of the Audit Committee shall not be deemed to be soliciting material or to be filed with the Commission, nor shall this information be incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this proxy statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Acts), except to the extent that we specifically incorporate this information by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such Acts.

have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available if and when declared by our board of directors; |

Noel Noel, Ltd. currently owns 71.80% of the total outstanding shares of our common stock and can elect all of our board members.

Audit Fees for the fiscal years ended February 29, 2008 and February 28, 2007 represent the aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by Manning Elliott LLP for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years.
Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
All audit and non-audit services performed by the independent certified public accountants are pre-approved by the Audit Committee, which considers, among other things, the possible effect of the performance of such services on the auditors independence. The Audit Committees charter provides that the Audit Committee may delegate to any of its members the authority to pre-approve any services performed by the independent certified public accountants, provided that such approval is presented to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. All of the audit-related, tax and all other services described above were pre-approved by the full Audit Committee.

The loan is without interest, unsecured, and due on demand. The agreement with Ms. McIntosh is oral. There is no written documentation evidencing the same.
