PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

Corporate History

Aspire Japan, Inc. (“we”, “us”, or the “Company”) was incorporated on February 2, 2005 in the State of Delaware. In September 2006, we became actively engaged in raising capital in order to implement our business plan to deliver products from American sources directly to the Japanese consumer in the form of mail-order business. In August 2008, after accumulating over $2 million in net losses, we decided to abandon the mail-order business and entered into the intellectual property rights trading business which we have been unsuccessful in to date. However we still intend to generate revenue and profits with the intellectual property rights trading business. We have not had any significant operations or activities from inception; accordingly, we are in the development stage. Ken Osako is our Chairman of the Board and Chief Financial Officer, as well as our controlling stockholder. Our main office is located at 5757 W. Century Blvd., Suite 700, Los Angeles, CA 90045 and the telephone number is (310) 348-7255.

Products and Services

Our principal business activity is buying and selling of intellectual property rights. Intellectual property rights are tradable, identifiable, and legally protected assets. Common forms of intellectual property rights include patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, know-how, and franchises.

In the business of brokering the purchase and sale of intellectual property rights, the valuation of such rights is a challenging but important part of the process. We will rely on third party professionals to value the intellectual property rights. We do not have contracts with specific vendors or partners to conduct valuation service for the intellectual property rights.

To conduct our business, we are searching for intellectual property rights that are valued with the net cash flow approach with the market consideration of only one market. Some of the intellectual property rights such as the combination of patents and the business know-how only contains a net cash flow approach with only one market; however, the valuation of such an intellectual property can increase with the addition of the other markets. We are trying to capitalize on this difference of the valuation with one market vs. the valuation with several markets.

Revenue Streams

We intend to generate revenues from brokering the purchase and sale of intellectual property rights, and collecting the mark-up on such transactions.

Marketing

We plan to position ourselves as a value added bridge for sellers and buyers of intellectual property rights. We intend to create an extensive proprietary database of buyer and seller information through the use of the internet and various small business networks throughout the world. We are working to build a database and network to market our services and our business.

Competition

The intellectual property rights trading business is highly competitive. Our competitors include, but are not limited to, some government agencies, law firms specialized in intellectual properties, and intellectual property trading companies. Most of our competitors have much greater financial, marketing, and human resources than we have.

Online marketing activity is rapidly evolving and intensely competitive. Many competitors in this area have greater financial, technical and marketing resources than the Company. Database management, logistics and database management technologies may increase the competitive pressures on online business marketers, including the Company.

Employees

We currently have no employees other than Ken Osako who is our sole officer and director.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.

We presently maintain our principal offices at an executive office located 5757 W. Century Blvd., Suite 700, Los Angeles, CA 90045 and the telephone number is (310) 348-7255. We do not own real estate.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

In January 2008 we entered into a separation agreement with our former President and Chief Executive Officer pursuant to which agreed to pay him a total of $230,000. The payment terms were as follows $30,000 monthly beginning January 31, 2008 and a final payment of $50,000 payable July 31, 2008. As of January 31, 2011 the Company paid a total of $30,000 and is currently in default of the agreement. In February 2009 the former President and Chief Executive Officer filed a law suit against us and our current President and Chief Executive Officer claiming total damages of $1,205,587. On May 18, 2009 the former President and Chief Executive Officer obtained a default judgment in the amount of $1,133,031 which includes the money award amount, prejudgment interest of 9%, post judgment interest of 9% through January 31, 2011, attorney fees, and other costs and disbursements. The judgment accrues interest at a rate of 9% per annum. As of January 31, 2011 the former President and Chief Executive officer is owed a total of $1,133,031.

In December 2007 we terminated our Executive Vice-President. As of January 31, 2011 we have not entered into any settlement agreement with the former Executive Vice-President and have recorded accrued severance in the amount of $236,730 pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.

Market Information

Our common stock has been listed on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “ASJP.OB” since November 19, 2007. There has been an extremely limited public market for our common stock.

When the trading price of our common stock is below $5.00 per share, the Common Stock is considered to be a “penny stock” that is subject to rules promulgated by the SEC (Rule 15-1 through 15g-9) under the Exchange Act. These rules impose significant requirements on brokers under these circumstances, including: (a) delivering to customers the SEC’s standardized risk disclosure document; (b) providing customers with current bid and ask prices; (c) disclosing to customers the brokers-dealer’s and sales representatives compensation; and (d) providing to customers monthly account statements.

The following table sets forth the high and low trade information for our common stock for each quarterly period within the two most recent fiscal years as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board. The prices reflect inter-dealer quotations, do not include retail mark-ups, markdowns or commissions and do not necessarily reflect actual transactions.

Fiscal Year 2011	Low Price*		High Price*

January 31, 2011	$	0.001	$	7.00
October 31, 2010	$	7.00	$	7.00
July 31, 2010	$	7.00	$	7.00
April 30, 2010	$	7.00	$	8.50

Fiscal Year 2010
January 31, 2010	$	6.25	$	8.50
October 31, 2009	$	6.25	$	6.25
July 31, 2009	$	6.25	$	6.25
April 30, 2009	$	6.25	$	6.25

Holders

As of May 6, 2011 in accordance with our transfer agent records, we had approximately 54 record holders of our Common Stock.

Dividends

To date, we have not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock. We currently do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future on our common stock. Although we intend to retain our earnings, if any, to finance the exploration and growth of our business, our Board of Directors will have the discretion to declare and pay dividends in the future.

Payment of dividends in the future will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements, and other factors, which our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plan

None.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.

Not applicable for smaller reporting companies.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Plan of Operations

We anticipate that our operational as well as general and administrative expenses for the next 12 months will total $225,000. The breakdown is as follows:

Marketing Materials	$	50,000
Legal/Accounting	$	75,000
General/Administrative	$	100,000
Total	$	225,000

Because of our nature as a development stage company, it is unlikely that we could make a public sale of securities or be able to borrow any significant sum from either a commercial or private lender. We intend to finance operations primarily through funds raised in private placements. There can be no assurance that we will able to obtain additional funding when and if needed or that such funding, if available, can be obtained on terms acceptable to us.

As of January 31, 2011 and 2010 the related party officer and director is owed a total of $71,736 and $21,093, respectively and accrued interest of $14,370 and $9,167, respectively. The Company recorded interest expense on the related party loans during the years ended January 31, 2011 and 2010 of $5,203 and $2,802, respectively.

As of January 31, 2011, we had cash of $97.

We do not believe we can satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months from revenue and through funds raised in our private placements. We plan to raise additional capital to be used for operating capital. We intend to raise these funds through additional private placements. We have not identified any sources of capital, lines of credit or loans at this time. Completion of our plan of operation is subject to attaining adequate revenue and through funds raised from private placements. We cannot assure investors that adequate revenues will be generated. In the event we are not successful in reaching our initial revenue targets, Management believes that it will raise the funds required and we would then be able to proceed with our business plan for the development and marketing of our products and services along with the commencement of our business activities in 2011.

In the absence of our projected revenues and the absence of additional capital we may be unable to proceed with our plan of operations. We anticipate that depending on market conditions and our plan of operations, we would incur operating losses in the foreseeable future. We base this expectation, in part, on the fact that we may not be able to generate enough gross profit from our operations to cover our operating expenses. Consequently, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue to operate as a going concern.

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, we are in the development stage, have a working capital deficiency of $2,009,695, a stockholders’ deficiency of $2,009,220 and have a negative cash flow from operations of $1,691,223 from inception. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital and implement our business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

We have completed our efforts to become a public company and by doing so we have incurred and will continue to incur additional significant expenses for legal, accounting and related services. As a public entity, subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, there are ongoing expenses such as, professional fees for accounting, legal and a host of other expenses for annual reports and proxy statements as well as costs for (i) increased marketing and advertising to support any growth in sales for us; (ii) potential to hire additional personnel to manage and expand our operations.

Results of Operations

We did not have any operating income from inception through January 31, 2011. For the year ended January 31, 2011, we recognized a net loss of $295,913 and for the period from inception through January 31, 2011, we recognized a net loss of $3,781,392. Total operating expenses for the year ended January 31, 2011 were comprised of professional fees of $33,275, compensation expense of $90,000, severance expense of $83,312 and general and administrative expenses of $14,020.

For the year ended January 31, 2010, we recognized a net loss of $54,799. Expenses for the period were comprised of professional fees of $42,266, consulting fees of $10,000, compensation expense of $90,000, severance expense of $155,868 and general and administrative expenses of $11,977. The credit for severance expense was the result of us accruing more severance than was awarded by the court, and therefore the difference was recorded as an adjustment to the severance expense.

Commitments

On August 13, 2008, we entered into an Intellectual Property Rights Sales Agreement (the “Eiwa Agreement”) with Eiwa Kokudo Kankyo, Inc. (“Eiwa”). Pursuant to the Eiwa Agreement, we agreed to pay approximately $5,454,545 (equal to 600 Million YEN) to Eiwa for the Intellectual Property of the Aqua-make system. In addition, we are entitled to sell the rights of this Intellectual Property to the third party upon signing the agreement. Pursuant to the agreement the Company entered into an agreement with EIWA to pay the purchase price in the following manner:

1.	August 29, 2008, 50 Million Japanese Yen (Approximately $454,545)

2.	September 12, 2008, 50 Million Japanese Yen (Approximately $454,545)

3.	September 30, 2008, 200 Million Japanese Yen (Approximately $1,818,182)

4.	January 31, 2010, 300 Million Japanese Yen (Approximately $2,727,273)

On November 27, 2008, we notified Eiwa that we were unilaterally canceling the agreement. We have not made any payments and we are in default under the payment terms of the agreement. If Eiwa does not agree to cancel the agreement, we might be required to make the payments as per the agreement. To date, we have not been made aware of whether Eiwa is pursuing any remedies associated with the cancellation. It is very possible that we will incur a material liability as a result of this cancelled agreement if Eiwa pursues any legal remedies.

The reason no liability has been recorded for the cancelled purchase agreement with Eiwa is because we have not recorded any amounts due under the intangible purchase agreement as no property has been received – we do not receive the IP until all payments have been made. Since no payments have been made and no property has been received, this is disclosed as a commitment only.

Thereafter, on August 15, 2008, we entered into an Intellectual Property Rights Sales Agreement with Global Investment Service, Inc. (“GIS”) to sell the Intellectual Property of the Aqua-make system to GIS for $14,545,455 (equal to 1.6 Billion YEN). Pursuant to the GIS Agreement, we have the right of first refusal to buy Intellectual Property back from GIS in the event that GIS agrees to sell the intellectual property within three years from August 15, 2008 by issuing 3.2 million shares of our common stock. We also need to agree to purchase the Intellectual Property to exercise the buyback option. As part of such conditions, we have agreed not to split our stock for the next three years. Pursuant to the agreement, GIS entered into a note with us to pay the purchase price in the following manner:

1.	August 29, 2008, 200 Million Japanese Yen (Approximately $1,818,182)

2.	September 30, 2008, 400 Million Japanese Yen (Approximately $3,636,354)

3.	January 31, 2010, 1 Billion Japanese Yen (Approximately $9,090,909)

Pursuant to the agreement, we are required to pay a fixed royalty amount of 13,340,000 Japanese Yen (Approximately $121,273) monthly to GIS for the license to operate the business and to use our best efforts to market the product in the United States. As of April 21, 2010, we have not made any royalty payments.

As of October 31, 2008, we have received payments of approximately $84,949 and Global Investment Services, Inc. is in default under the payment terms of the agreement. On November 30, 2008, we received notice of termination of the agreement from Global Investment Services, Inc. As of January 31, 2010, we have recorded a gain in liquidated damages of $84,949.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.

Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact its financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13, which addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services separately rather than as a combined unit and modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables. The ASU significantly expands the disclosure requirements for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. The ASU will be effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and may be applied retrospectively for all periods presented or prospectively to arrangements entered into or materially modified after the adoption date. Early adoption is permitted, provided that the guidance is retroactively applied to the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2009-13 to have any effect on its financial statements upon its required adoption on February 1, 2011.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities” (SPEs).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors of: Aspire Japan, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Aspire Japan, Inc. “Company” (a development stage company) as of January 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the two years then ended and the period February 2, 2005 (Inception) to January 31, 2011. 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 conducted 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 audits 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.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of Aspire Japan, Inc. (a development stage company) as of January 31, 2011 and 2010 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the two years then ended and the period February 2, 2005 (Inception) to January 31, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has a net loss of $3,781,392 from inception, a working capital deficiency of $2,009,695 and a stockholders’ deficit of $2,009,220 as of January 31, 2011. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of January 31, 2011

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION

Organization

ASPIRE JAPAN, INC. (f/k/a Dream Media, Inc.) (“the Company”) was incorporated on February 2, 2005 in the State of Delaware. In September 2006, the Company became actively engaged in raising capital in order to implement its business plan to deliver products from American sources directly to the Japanese consumer in the form of mail-order business. In August 2008, after incurring over $2 million in accumulated losses, the Company decided to abandon the mail-order business. Then, the Company entered into the Intellectual Property Rights Trading Business. In August 2008, the Company was unsuccessful in a business transaction for the Intellectual Property Rights Trading. The Company still intends to generate revenue and profits with the Intellectual Property Rights Trading Business at this point. The Company has not had any significant operations or activities from inception; accordingly, the Company is deemed to be in the development stage.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 605 – “Revenue Recognition”. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, and Credit Risk

For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all cash accounts with maturities of 90 days or less and which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, as cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying balance sheet.

The Company maintains a portion of its deposits in a financial institution that insures its deposits with the FDIC insurance up to $250,000 per depositor and deposits in excess of such insured amounts represent a credit risk to the Company. At January 31, 2011 and 2010 the Company had $0 in cash that was uninsured. In addition, at January 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had total cash of $23 and $138, respectively in a Japanese bank which is uninsured.

Equipment

Equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the equipment.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising costs charged to operations for the years ended January 31, 2011 and 2010 and the period February 2, 2005 (Inception) to January 31, 2011 amounted to $0, $0, and $156,562 respectively.

Reclassification of Prior Period Accounts

Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Going Concern

The Company's financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a net loss of $3,781,392 from inception, a working capital deficiency of $2,009,695 and a stockholders’ deficit of $2,009,220 as of January 31, 2011 and used cash in operations of $1,691,223 from inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management continues to actively seek additional sources of capital to fund current and future operations. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in continuing to raise additional capital and establish probable or proven reserves. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Stock Compensation

The Company follows FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718 – Compensation – Stock Compensation for share based payments to employees. The Company follows FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 505 for share based payments to Non-Employees.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments including prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, loans and notes payable, and loans payable-related party approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company is the United States Dollar. The financial statements of the Company are translated to United States dollars using year-end exchange rates as to assets and liabilities and average exchange rates as to revenues and expenses. Capital accounts are translated at their historical exchange rates when the capital transaction occurred. Net gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange translations are included in the statements of operations and changes in stockholders’ equity as other comprehensive income (loss).

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period as required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) under FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 260 - Earnings Per Share. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings. As of January 31, 2011 and 2010 there were no common share equivalents outstanding.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement 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. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

NOTE 5 - INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS SALES AGREEMENT

1.	August 29, 2008, 50 Million Japanese Yen (Approximately $454,545)

2.	September 12, 2008, 50 Million Japanese Yen (Approximately $454,545)

3.	September 30, 2008, 200 Million Japanese Yen (Approximately $1,818,182)

4.	January 31, 2009, 300 Million Japanese Yen (Approximately $2,727,273)

On November 27, 2008, we notified Eiwa that we were unilaterally canceling the agreement. We have not made any payments and we are in default under the payment terms of the agreement. If Eiwa does not agree to cancel the agreement, we might be required to make the payments as per the agreement. To date, we are not aware of Eiwa pursuing any remedies associated with the cancellation. It is very possible that we will incur a material liability as a result of this cancelled agreement if Eiwa pursues legal remedies.

The reason no liability has been recorded for the cancelled purchase agreement with Eiwa is because we have not recorded any amounts due under the intangible purchase agreement as no property has been received – we are not entitled to receive the IP until all payments have been made. Since no payments have been made and no property has been received, this is disclosed as a commitment only.

Thereafter, on August 15, 2008, we entered into an Intellectual Property Rights Sales Agreement with Global Investment Service, Inc. (“GIS”) to sell the Intellectual Property of the Aqua-make system to GIS for $14,545,455 (equal to 1.6 Billion YEN). Pursuant to the GIS Agreement, we have the right of first refusal to buy Intellectual Property back from GIS in the event that GIS agrees to sell the intellectual property within three years from August 15, 2008 by issuing 3.2 million shares of our common stock. We also need to agree to purchase the Intellectual Property to exercise the buy back option. As part of such conditions, we have agreed not to split our stock for the next three years. Pursuant to the agreement, GIS entered into a note with us to pay the purchase price in the following manner:

1.	August 29, 2008, 200 Million Japanese Yen (Approximately $1,818,182)

2.	September 30, 2008, 400 Million Japanese Yen (Approximately $3,636,354)

3.	January 31, 2009, 1 Billion Japanese Yen (Approximately $9,090,909)

Pursuant to the agreement, we are required to pay a fixed royalty amount of 13,340,000 Japanese Yen (Approximately $121,273) monthly to GIS for the license to operate the business and to use our best efforts to market the product in the United States. As of January 31, 2011, we have not made any royalty payments.

As of October 31, 2008, we received payments of approximately $84,949 and Global Investment Services, Inc. is in default under the payment terms of the agreement. On November 30, 2008, we received notice of termination of the agreement from Global Investment Services, Inc. As of January 31, 2009, we recorded a gain in liquidated damages of $84,949.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that because of the material weakness described below the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Our internal control system was designed to, in general, provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements, but because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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 the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2011. The framework used by management in making that assessment was the criteria set forth in the document entitled “ Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that assessment, our management has determined that as of January 31, 2010, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective for the purposes for which it is intended based on the following material weakness:

- We lack a functioning audit committee and segregation of duties within accounting functions.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No changes in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011 that materially affected our internal control over financial reporting.

PART III

ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Our sole executive officer and director as of May 6, 2011 is as follows:

NAME		AGE		POSITION
Ken Osako		39		President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer

The following summarizes the occupation and business experience during the past five years for our sole officer and directors.

KEN OSAKO was appointed as our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as well as Chairman of our Board of Directors on July 7, 2006. From 2004 to the 2007 Mr. Osako served as the CEO of Strategic Capital Consultants, Inc. From 2000 to 2003 Mr. Osako served as the President of High Speed Cash, Inc. Mr. Osako served as the CFO for Wheels America Advertising, Inc. from 1998 to 2000. From 1996 to 1997 he served as the President of Conversion Specialist. From 1995 to 1996 he served as the CFO of Morrison Distributors, Inc. Mr. Osako graduated from Oglethorpe University in Atlanta, GA with a Bachelors of Science degree.

Mr. Osako’s experience in business management and his qualifications and comprehensive skills accumulated from such prior experience led to the conclusion that Mr. Osako qualifies to serve as our director in light of our business and structure.

Term of Office

Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board. For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011, we did not compensate our sole director for his services.

Legal Proceedings

Our officer and director has not filed any bankruptcy petition, been convicted of or been the subject of any criminal proceedings or the subject of any order, judgment or decree involving the violation of any state or federal securities laws within the past ten (10) years.

Potential Conflicts of Interest

Board Committees

We have not formed an Audit Committee, Compensation Committee or Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee as of the filing of this Annual Report. Our Board of Directors performs the principal functions of an Audit Committee. We currently do not have an audit committee financial expert on our Board of Directors. We believe that an audit committee financial expert is not required because the cost of hiring an audit committee financial expert to act as one of our directors and to be a member of an Audit Committee outweighs the benefits of having an audit committee financial expert at this time.

Compliance with Section 16(A) Of The Exchange Act.

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are required to furnish copies to the Company.

Changes in Control

We currently do not any arrangements, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the Company.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Director Independence

Because our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, we have used the definition of “independence” of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the company’s Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:

·	the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the company;

the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exclusions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);

·	a family member of the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an executive officer of the company;

the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling stockholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exclusions);

·	the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or

·	the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three years was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit.

Based upon the above definition of “independence”, we currently do not have any independent director.

We do not currently have a separately designated audit, nominating or compensation committee.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

Audit Fees

For the Company’s fiscal years ended January 31, 2011 and 2010, we were billed approximately $17,710 and $19,700, respectively, for professional services rendered for the audit and review of our financial statements.

Audit Related Fees

There were no fees for audit related services for the years ended January 31, 2011 and 2010.

Tax Fees

For the Company’s fiscal years ended January 31, 2011 and 2010, we were not billed for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning.

All Other Fees

The Company did not incur any other fees related to services rendered by our principal accountant for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2011 and 2010.

Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that before our auditor is engaged by us to render any auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement shall be:

(a)	approved by our audit committee; or

(b)

entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the audit committee, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the audit committee is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the audit committee's responsibilities to management.

We do not have an audit committee. Our entire board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors.

Our board of directors pre-approved 100% of the above fees and services.
