Item 1. Description of Business
General
Matters discussed in this document may constitute forward-looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their businesses. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts.
Bonanza Gold, Inc. desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. This document and any other written or oral statements made by us or on our behalf may include forward-looking statements, which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intends,” “estimates,” “forecast,” “project” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements in this document are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management’s discussion and analysis or plan of operations. Although we believe that these assumptions were reasonable when made, these statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect our management’s view only as of the date of this report.
History
Bonanza Gold, Inc. (hereinafter “the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Washington on April 3, 1961 as Vermillion Gold, Inc. The Company was organized primarily for the purpose of exploring for, acquiring and developing mineral properties with a potential for production. The Company had been involved in the acquisition and exploration of various mining properties, located in the states of Alaska, Montana and Idaho. Exploration efforts were unsuccessful and none of these mining properties produced any commercial ore. The Company abandoned its remaining mining claims and the related development costs in 1996. Consequently, since 1996, the Company has been inactive.
In September 2003 the Board of Directors authorized a private placement of the Company’s common Stock to raise $75,000. The proceeds were utilized to pay for legal and accounting fees associated with the preparation and filing of a Form 10SB Registration Statement, to pay ongoing expenses related to complying with the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (i.e. preparation of audited financial statements and periodic reports) and working capital.
Risk Factors
The Company's business is subject to numerous risk factors, including the following:
Independent Certified Public Accountants' Opinion - Going Concern
The Company's financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003, were audited by the Company's independent certified public accountants, whose report includes an explanatory paragraph stating that the financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and that the Company has incurred significant operating losses that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
No Revenue and Minimal Assets
The Company has had no revenues or earnings from operations. The Company has no significant assets or financial resources. The Company will, in all likelihood, sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues, at least until the consummation of a business combination. This may result in our incurring a net operating loss which will increase continuously until we can consummate a business combination with a profitable business opportunity. There is no assurance that we can identify such a business opportunity and consummate such a business combination.
Speculative Nature of Company’s Proposed Operations
The success of the Company’s proposed plan of operation will depend, to a great extent, on the operations, financial condition and management of the identified business opportunity. While management intends to seek business combinations with entities having established operating histories, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in locating candidates meeting such criteria. In the event that the Company completes a business combination, of which there can be no assurance, the success of operations may be dependent upon management of the successor firm or venture partner firm and numerous other factors beyond the Company’s control.
[The balance of this page has been intentionally left blank.]
Scarcity of and Competition for Business Opportunities and Combinations
The Company is and will continue to be an insignificant participant in the business of seeking mergers with, joint ventures with and acquisitions of small private entities. A large number of established and well-financed entities, including venture capital firms, are active in mergers and acquisitions of companies which may be desirable target candidates for us. Nearly all such entities have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than Bonanza Gold, Inc. and, consequently, the Company will be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully completing a business combination. Moreover, the Company will also compete in seeking merger or acquisition candidates with numerous other small public companies.
Continued Management Control, Limited Time Availability
While seeking a business combination, management anticipates devoting up to twenty hours per month to the business of the Company. The Company’s officers have not entered into written employment agreements with the Company and are not expected to do so in the foreseeable future. The Company has not obtained key man life insurance on any of its officers or directors. Notwithstanding the combined limited experience and time commitment of management, loss of the services of any of these individuals would adversely affect development of the Company’s business and its likelihood of continuing operations.
Conflicts of Interest – General
The Company’s officers and directors participate in other business ventures which compete directly with the Company. Additional conflicts of interest and non-arms length transactions may also arise in the future in the event the Company’s officers or directors are involved in the management of any firm with which the Company transacts business.
Lack of Market Research or Marketing Organization
The Company has neither conducted, nor have others made available to it, results of market research indicating that market demand exists for the transactions contemplated by the Company. Even in the event demand is identified for a merger or acquisition contemplated by the Company, there is no assurance the Company will be successful in completing any such business combination.
Probable Change in Control and Management
A business combination involving the issuance of the Company’s stock will, in all likelihood, result in shareholders of a private company obtaining a controlling interest in the Company. The resulting change in control of the Company will likely result in removal of one or more present officers and directors and a corresponding reduction in or elimination of their participation in the future affairs of the Company.
Reduction of Percentage Share Ownership Following Business Combination
The Company’s primary plan of operation is based upon a business combination with a private concern which, in all likelihood, would result in the Company issuing securities to shareholders of such private company. The issuance of previously authorized and unissued common stock of the Company would result in reduction in percentage of shares owned by present and prospective shareholders of the Company and would most likely result in a change in control or management of the Company.
Requirement of Audited Financial Statements May Disqualify Business Opportunities
Management of the Company believes that any potential business opportunity must provide audited financial statements for review, and for the protection of all parties to the business combination. One or more attractive business opportunities may choose to forego the possibility of a business combination with the Company, rather than incur the expenses associated with preparing audited financial statements.
Employees
The Company has no paid employees. None of the Company’s executive officers are employed by the Company. Management services are provided on an “as needed” basis without compensation, generally less than five hours per week. The Company has no oral or written contracts for services with any member of management.
There is no preliminary agreement or understanding existing or under contemplation by the Company (or any person acting on its behalf) concerning any aspect of the Company’s operations pursuant to which any person would be hired, compensated or paid a finder’s fee.
Item 2. Description of Properties
The Company does not currently hold interests in any properties.
The Company presently operates from office space provided on a rent-free basis by the president of the Company. In the event that this space becomes unavailable in the future, the Company will seek to lease office space from an unaffiliated party at prevailing competitive rates.

None

Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations
General
Certain matters discussed are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties including changing market conditions and the regulatory environment and other risks. Actual results may differ materially from those projected. These forward-looking statements represent the Company’s judgment as of the date of this filing. The Company disclaims, however, any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
[The balance of this page has been intentionally left blank.]
Plan of Operation.
We intend to seek to acquire the assets or shares of an entity actively engaged in business in exchange for our securities. We have no particular acquisitions in mind and have not entered into any negotiations regarding such an acquisition. None of our officers, directors, promoters or affiliates have engaged in any preliminary contact or discussions with any representative of any other company regarding the possibility of an acquisition or merger between us and such other company as of the date of this registration statement. While we will attempt to obtain audited financial statements of a target entity, there is no assurance that such audited financial statements will be available. The Board of Directors does intend to obtain certain assurances of value of the target entity's assets prior to consummating such a transaction, with further assurances that an audited statement would be provided within seventy-five days after closing of such a transaction. We have no full time employees. Our officers have agreed to allocate a portion of their time to our activities without compensation. Management anticipates that our business plan can be implemented by an officer devoting an aggregate of approximately 5 hours per week to our business affairs. Consequently, conflicts of interest may arise with respect to the limited time commitment by such officers. In addition, our officers and directors may, in the future, become involved with other companies, which have a business purpose similar to that of ours. As a result, additional conflicts of interest may arise in the future.
We are filing this registration statement under the Exchange Act on a voluntary basis because management believes that our primary attraction as a merger partner or acquisition vehicle will be our status as an SEC reporting company. Any business combination or transaction will likely result in a significant issuance of shares and substantial dilution to our present stockholders.
General Business Plan.
Our purpose is to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire an interest in a business opportunity which desires to seek the perceived advantages of an Exchange Act registered corporation. We will not restrict our search to any specific business, industry, or geographical location and we may participate in a business venture of virtually any kind or nature. However, the Board of Directors has adopted a resolution that prohibits any acquisition or merger with a business or company in which the Company’s promoters, management or their affiliates or associates directly or indirectly have an ownership interest. Because there is no legal prohibition against such transactions, this policy could be rescinded by the Board of Directors if it deemed such action to be in the best interest of the shareholders. This discussion of the proposed business is purposefully general and is not meant to be restrictive of our virtually unlimited discretion to search for and enter into potential business opportunities. Management anticipates that it will be able to participate in only one potential business venture because we have nominal assets and limited financial resources. This lack of diversification should be considered a substantial risk to our shareholders because it will not permit us to offset potential losses from one venture against gains from another. We may seek a business opportunity with entities which have recently commenced operations, or that wish to utilize the public marketplace in order to raise additional capital in order to expand into new products or markets, to develop a new product or service, or for other corporate purposes. The primary method we will use to find potential merger or acquisition candidates will be to periodically run classified ads in the Wall Street Journal seeking companies which are looking to merge with a public shell. We anticipate that the selection of a business opportunity in which to participate will be complex and extremely risky. Due to general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some industries and shortages of available capital, management believes that there are numerous firms seeking the perceived benefits of a publicly registered corporation.
General Business Plan. (Continued)
Such perceived benefits may include facilitating or improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be sought, providing liquidity for incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, providing liquidity (subject to restrictions of applicable statutes) for all shareholders and other factors. Business opportunities may be available in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex. We have, and will continue to have, minimal capital with which to provide the owners of business opportunities with any significant cash or other assets. However, management believes we will be able to offer acquisition candidates the opportunity to acquire a controlling ownership interest in a publicly registered company without incurring the cost and time required to conduct an Initial Public Offering. The acquisition candidates will, however, incur significant legal and accounting costs in connection with the acquisition of a business opportunity, including the costs of preparing Form 8-K's, 10-K's or 10-KSB's, agreements and related reports and documents. The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "34 Act"), specifically requires that any merger or acquisition candidate comply with all applicable reporting requirements, which include providing audited financial statements to be included within the numerous filings relevant to complying with the 34 Act. The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by, or under the supervision of, our officers and directors, none of whom is a professional business analyst. Management intends to concentrate on identifying preliminary prospective business opportunities that may be brought to its attention through present associations of our officers or through advertising our availability for acquisition. In analyzing prospective business opportunities, management will consider such factors as the available technical, financial and managerial resources; working capital and other financial requirements; history of operations, if any; prospects for the future; nature of present and expected competition; the quality and experience of management services which may be available and the depth of that management; the potential for further research, development, or exploration; specific risk factors not now foreseeable but which may be anticipated to impact our proposed activities; the potential for growth or expansion; the potential for profit; the perceived public recognition or acceptance of products, services, or trades; name identification; and other relevant factors. We will not acquire or merge with any company for which audited financial statements cannot be obtained within the time frame required by federal securities laws. Our management, while not especially experienced in matters relating to our new business, will rely primarily upon their own efforts to accomplish our business purposes. There are no arrangements, agreements or understandings between non-management shareholders and management under which non-management shareholders may directly or indirectly participate in or influence the management of the Company’s affairs. There is no agreement or understanding that non-management shareholders will exercise their voting rights to continue to elect the current directors to the Company’s board. The Company’s officers, directors or affiliates have not used any particular consultants or advisors on a regular basis and there is no intention that any particular consultant or advisor will be hired by the Company in the future. It is not anticipated that any outside consultants or advisors, other than our legal counsel and accountants, will be utilized by us to effectuate our business purposes described herein. However, if we do retain such an outside consultant or advisor, any cash fee earned by such party will be paid by the prospective merger/acquisition candidate, as we have limited cash assets with which to pay such obligation. There have been no discussions, understandings, contracts or agreements with any outside consultants and none are anticipated in the future. The Company has a policy that it will not borrow funds and use the proceeds to make payments to the Company’s promoters, management or their affiliates or associates. In no event will any consultant or finders’ fees be paid to any member of the Company’s management or any of the Company’s principal shareholders.
General Business Plan. (Continued)
We will not restrict our search to any specific industry, but may acquire a venture which is in its preliminary or development stage, which is already in operation, or in essentially any stage of its corporate life. It is impossible to predict, at this time, the status of any business in which we may become engaged, in that such business may need to seek additional capital, may desire to have its shares publicly traded, or may seek other perceived advantages which we may offer. However, we do not intend to obtain funds in one or more private placements, public offerings or loan transactions to finance the operation of any acquired business opportunity until such time as we have successfully consummated such a merger or acquisition. All transactions in securities affected in connection with the Company’s business model will be effected by a registered broker-dealer. There are no preliminary agreements or understandings between the Company and its officers and directors or affiliates or lending institutions with respect to any loan agreements. The Company will not enter into any loan transactions to loan money to or borrow money from any prospective merger or acquisition candidates or to an unaffiliated third party. We also have no plans to conduct any offerings under Regulation S.
Acquisition of Opportunities.
In implementing a structure for a particular business acquisition, we may become a party to a merger, consolidation, reorganization, joint venture, or licensing agreement with another corporation or entity. We may also acquire stock or assets of an existing business. On the consummation of a transaction, it is probable that our present management and shareholders will no longer be in control. In addition, our directors may, as part of the terms of the acquisition transaction, resign and be replaced by new directors without a vote of our shareholders. It is anticipated that any securities issued in any such reorganization would be issued in reliance upon exemption from registration under applicable federal and state securities laws. In some circumstances, however, as a negotiated element of the transaction, we may agree to register all or a part of such securities immediately after the transaction is consummated or at specified times thereafter. If such registration occurs, of which there can be no assurance, it will be undertaken by the surviving entity after we have successfully consummated a merger or acquisition and we are no longer considered a "shell" company. Until such time as this occurs, we will not attempt to register any additional securities. The issuance of substantial additional securities and their potential sale into any trading market which may develop in our securities may have a depressive effect on the value of our securities in the future. While the actual terms of a transaction to which we may be a party cannot be predicted, it may be expected that the parties to the business transaction will find it desirable to avoid the creation of a taxable event and thereby structure the acquisition in a so-called "tax-free" reorganization under Sections 368a or 351 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). With respect to any merger or acquisition, negotiations with target company management is expected to focus on the percentage of our company which target company shareholders would acquire in exchange for all of their shareholdings in the target company. Depending upon, among other things, the target company's assets and liabilities, our shareholders will hold a substantially lesser percentage ownership interest following any merger or acquisition. The percentage ownership may be subject to significant reduction in the event we acquire a target company with substantial assets. Any merger or acquisition effected by us can be expected to have a significant dilutive effect on the percentage of shares held by our then-shareholders. We will participate in a business opportunity only after the negotiation and execution of appropriate written agreements.
Acquisition of Opportunities. (Continued)
Although the terms of such agreements cannot be predicted, generally such agreements will require some specific representations and warranties by all of the parties thereto, will specify certain events of default, will detail the terms of closing and the conditions which must be satisfied by each of the parties prior to and after such closing, will outline the manner of bearing costs, including costs associated with our attorneys and accountants, will set forth remedies on default and will include miscellaneous other terms. As stated hereinabove, we will not acquire or merge with any entity that cannot provide independent audited financial statements within a reasonable period of time after closing of the proposed transaction. We intend to be subject to all of the reporting requirements included in the 34 Act. Included in these requirements is our affirmative duty to file independent audited financial statements as part of our Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission upon consummation of a merger or acquisition, as well as our audited financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K (or 10-KSB, as applicable). If such audited financial statements are not available at closing, or within time parameters necessary to insure our compliance with the requirements of the 34 Act, or if the audited financial statements provided do not conform to the representations made by the candidate to be acquired in the closing documents, the closing documents may provide that the proposed transaction will be voidable, at the discretion of our present management.
Financing
The Company believes that it can satisfy its cash requirements for the foreseeable future and has no plans to raise additional funds in the next twelve months. Management has no plans to seek loan financing.
Employees
The Company does not expect any significant change in the number of employees unless or until such time as it acquires a business opportunity.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors
Bonanza Gold, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Bonanza Gold, Inc. (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. 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 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.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bonanza Gold, Inc. as of March 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, 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's recurring operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Description of Business
Bonanza Gold, Inc. (“the Company”) is a Washington corporation that was incorporated April 3, 1961. The Company was organized to explore for, acquire and develop natural resource properties in the Western United States. Until 1995 the Company was involved in the acquisition and exploration of various mining properties. In 1996 the Company abandoned its remaining mining properties. During the past several years since 1996 the Company’s activities have been confined to general and administrative functions.
The Company has incurred losses since its inception and has no recurring source of revenue. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans for the continuation of the Company as a going concern include financing the Company's operations through sales of its unregistered common stock and the eventual acquisition of an entity with profitable business operations. There are no assurances, however, with respect to the future success of these plans. The financial statements do not contain any adjustments, which might be necessary, if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Unless otherwise indicated, amounts provided in these notes to the financial statements pertain to continuing operations.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the 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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are recognized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," whereby deferred income tax liabilities or assets at the end of each period are determined using the tax rate expected to be in effect when the taxes are actually paid or recovered. A valuation allowance is recognized on deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of these deferred tax assets will not be realized. At March 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company had recorded no net deferred tax assets or liabilities and recognized no income tax provision as it had no taxable income for the years then ended.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash, accounts payable and related party advances, approximated their fair values as of March 31, 2004 and 2003.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued:
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Highly liquid short-term investments with a remaining maturity when purchased of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents. The Company deposits its cash and cash equivalents in high quality financial institutions.
Net Loss Per Share
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share,” requires dual presentation of basic earnings per share (“EPS”) and diluted EPS on the face of all income statements, for all entities with complex capital structures. Basic EPS is computed as net income divided by the weighted average number of both classes of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common stock equivalents such as common shares issuable through stock options, warrants and other convertible securities. At March 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company had no outstanding common stock equivalents, and only basic EPS is reported for the years then ended.
Environmental Matters
The Company has owned mineral property interests on certain public and private lands in Idaho, Washington, Montana and Alaska. The Company’s mineral property holdings have included lands contained in mining districts that have been designated as “Superfund” sites pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA"). The Company and its properties have been and are subject to a variety of federal and state regulations governing land use and environmental matters. The Company’s management has engaged consultants to review the potential environmental impacts of its prior mineral exploration and development activities and believes it has been in substantial compliance with all such regulations, and is unaware of any pending action or proceeding relating to regulatory matters that would affect the financial position of the Company. The Company’s management acknowledges, however, that the possibility exists that the Company may be subject to environmental liabilities associated with its prior activities in the unforeseeable future, although the likelihood of such is deemed remote and the amount and nature of the liabilities is impossible to estimate.
Investments
Marketable equity securities are categorized as available-for-sale and carried at quoted market value. Investments in securities of privately held entities are quoted at their estimated fair value. Realized gains and losses on the sale of securities are recognized on a specific identification basis. Unrealized gains and losses are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, net of related deferred income taxes, if applicable, unless a permanent impairment in value has occurred, which is then charged to operations.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued:
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," requires the disclosure of comprehensive income, which includes net income (loss), and unrealized gains and losses on marketable equity securities classified as available-for-sale.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior year data to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported earnings.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." In December 2003, the FASB issued a revised Interpretation 46 (FIN 46R). The FASB deferred the effective date for consolidation of variable interest entities and amended the consolidation requirements. In general, a variable interest entity is a corporation, partnership, trust, or any other legal structure used for business purposes that either (a) does not have equity investors with voting rights or (b) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. FIN 46R requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both. The consolidation requirements of FIN 46R apply to older entities in the first fiscal year or interim period ending after March 15, 2004. Certain of the disclosure requirements apply in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003, regardless of when the variable interest entity was established. The Company has determined the consolidation requirements of FIN 46R will not have a material impact on its financial statements.
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This standard amends and clarifies the accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement is effective prospectively for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. SFAS No. 149 will not have an impact upon initial adoption and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for the classification and measurement of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The requirements of SFAS No. 150 become effective for the Company for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company adopted the standard on May 31, 2003 and has concluded that the adoption of this statement will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Income Taxes
Income taxes are recognized in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” whereby deferred income tax liabilities or assets at the end of each period are determined using the tax rate expected to be in effect when the taxes are actually paid or recovered. A valuation allowance is recognized on deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of these deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has not recorded an income tax provision for the years ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, as it had no taxable income. The Company has net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes at March 31, 2004 and 2003, of approximately $320,000 and $270,000, respectively, which will expire in 2024, and an associated deferred tax asset of approximately $109,000 and $92,000, respectively. The deferred tax assets have been fully reserved for as management believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be utilized.
4.
Investments
The Company accounts for its investments in equity securities in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," and reports its investments in available-for-sale securities at their fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from income or loss and included in other comprehensive income or loss. Marketable equity securities expected to be sold within one year are classified as current assets. At March 31, 2003 the Company's investments in marketable equity securities were as follows:

Classified as non-current assets:

The resolution was approved by the shareholders and on February 2, 2004, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to effect the change.
Preferred Stock
During the annual meeting of shareholders held on January 30, 2004, the Company’s shareholders resolved to amend the Company's articles of incorporation and authorize a class of preferred stock consisting of 10,000,000 shares.
