ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

Forward-Looking Statements

Except for the historical information presented in this document, the matters discussed in this Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, contain forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include statements regarding, among other things, (a) our projected sales and profitability, (b) our growth strategies, (c) anticipated trends in our industry, (d) our future financing plans, and (e) our anticipated needs for working capital. Forward-looking statements, which involve assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies, and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “might,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” or “project” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. This information may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from the future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. These statements may be found under “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Business,” “Properties,” as well as in this report generally.

The safe harbor provisions of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, apply to forward-looking statements made by the Company. The reader is cautioned that no statements contained in this Form 10-K/A should be construed as a guarantee or assurance of future performance or results. Actual events or results may differ materially from those discussed in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, without limitation, the risks described in this report and matters described in this report generally. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this filing will in fact occur. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, and the Company assumes no obligation to update this information. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by the Company in this Form 10-K/A and in the Company's other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect the Company's business.

The Company

Incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, Entheos Technologies, Inc. (“the Company” “we” “us” and “our”) has an authorized capital of 200,000,000 shares of $0.00001 par value common stock, of which 63,075,122 shares are outstanding and 10,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value preferred stock, of which none are outstanding.

From 2002 until September 2008, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Email Solutions, Inc., the Company served as an Application Service Provider (“ASP”) providing reliable, real time, high volume outsourced email and search engine optimization services. Due to the limited success of the ASP business, management decided that it was in the best interest to abandon the Application Service Provider business and focus on identifying undervalued oil and gas opportunities for acquisition, development and exploration. The assets and liabilities, the results of operations and cash flows related to the ASP business were not classified as discontinued operations as the amounts were not significant.

Our principal executive offices are located at 888-3rd Street SW, Suite 1000, Calgary Alberta, Canada T2P 5C5. Our telephone number is (403) 444-6418.

As we are a smaller reporting company, certain disclosures otherwise required to be made in a Form 10-K/A are not required to be made by the Company.

Description of Business

We are a small independent diversified energy company engaged in the acquisition and development of crude oil and natural gas interests in the United States. We pursue oil and gas prospects in partnership with oil and gas companies with exploration, development and production expertise. We currently have a non-operating, minority working interest in five properties. Our prospect areas consist of land in La Salle County, Lee County, Fayette County and Frio County, Texas. Currently, four of the five wells in which we have a minority working interest are producing. We currently do not operate any of the wells in which we have an interest.

Strategy

Subject to economic conditions affecting the oil and gas industry, our strategy is to identify and acquire (i) low risk in-field oil and gas rights that are primarily developmental in nature that offset existing production and (ii) energy services companies that when combined with our management expertise in that area will display strong top line growth and cash flows. Although to date we have acquired

5


minority working interests we will, if the appropriate properties are available to us on terms acceptable to us, acquire controlling interests as well.

Acquisition of Oil & Gas Properties

In September 2008, the Company acquired a 21.75% working interest (16.3125% net revenue interest) in the Cooke #6 well located at the Cooke Ranch field in La Salle County, Texas which has been producing oil and gas from the Escondido formation since 2007. In September 2008, the Company acquired a 20.00% working interest (15.00% net revenue interest) in Onnie Ray #1 Well in Lee County, Texas and the Stahl #1 Well in Fayette County, Texas which were subsequently re-entered and are producing oil and gas from the Austin Chalk formation and a 20.00% working interest (15.00% net revenue interest) in the Haile #1 Well in Frio County, Texas which is currently scheduled for re-entry operations. On October 31, 2008 we acquired a 20.00% working interest (15.00% net revenue interest) in Pearce #1 Well in Frio County, Texas which is currently producing oil from the Austin Chalk formation.

Capitalized costs associated with the property acquisitions are as follows:

    Acquisition    Exploration    Development     
    Costs    Costs    Costs    Total 
Cooke #6  $  181,535  $  -  $  -  $  181,535 
Onnie Ray #1    14,800    7,000    41,857    63,657 
Haile #1    16,071    57,675    -    73,746 
Stahl #1    15,215    7,000    35,141    57,356 
Pearce #1    6,978    11,200    47,556    65,734 
  $  234,599  $  82,875  $  124,554  $  442,028 

Geologic Background

Escondido Formation

The Escondido formation, where Cooke #6 is located, is a regional producer spanning several counties in South Texas. There are many Escondido oil and gas fields which have produced anywhere from 600,000 to 3,100,000 barrels of oil and the gas fields have produced up to 18 BCF of gas.

Austin Chalk Formation

Giddings is a main producing field of the Austin Chalk formation consisting of fractured carbonate, which is where our Onnie Ray #1 and Stahl #1 wells are located. This formation covers central Texas, parts of Mexico and even into northwest Louisiana. The Austin Chalk in central Texas has been and continues to be explored and developed for its oil and gas potential by companies such as Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, Chesapeake Energy Corporation, and Exxon Mobil Corporation.

Haile #1 and Pearce #1 wells are located within the Pearsall Austin Chalk field which is south west of the Giddings field and is also a significant historic producer. The Pearsall field has been and continues to be explored and developed much like the Giddings fields to the North.

Production and Reserve Estimate Status

The acquisition date and production status of the Company’s oil and gas properties is summarized as follows:

    Month 
  Acquisition  Production 
  Date  Started 
Proven Developed Properties:     
     Cooke #6  9/1/2008  Dec-07 
     Onnie Ray #1  9/12/2008  Oct-08 
     Stahl #1  9/12/2008  Oct-08 
     Pearce #1  10/31/2008  Dec-08 
Unproven Properties:     
     Haile #1  9/12/2008  - 

The four reservoirs classified as proven developed properties is based on Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X

6


Rule 4-10 “reservoirs are considered proved if economic producibility is supported by either actual production or a conclusive formation test.”  These wells are supported by actual production.  The Company has not yet obtained reserve studies providing proved reserve quantities due to the recentness of the acquisition of these properties and due to the wells still being in their initial testing phase.  Management is assessing and compiling production data to determine the need for reserves studies going forward.

The unproven property, Haile, is also classified according to guidelines set forth by SEC Regulation S-X Rule 4-10. The well is not currently supported by actual production nor are there defined engineering reserve studies for this well. An exploratory drilling program was started in early 2009 to complete a new unproven upper zone of this well.

Research and Development Expenditures

Since inception, we have not incurred any expenditures in research or development.

Marketing of Production

Sale of Crude Oil and Natural Gas

Our production consists of natural gas and crude that is marketed by the well site Operators. We sell our crude oil and condensate production at or near the well-site, although in some cases it is gathered by us or others and delivered to a central point of sale. Our crude oil and condensate production is transported by truck or by pipeline and is typically committed to arrangements having a term of one year or less. We have not engaged in crude oil hedging or trading activities. We have not engaged in natural gas hedging or futures trading, nor do we have any long term contracts to sell our production.

Sales of crude oil totaled $8,199 (114.9 bbl) for fiscal 2008 which represented 60% of our total oil and gas revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008. Sales of natural gas totaled $5,571 for 2008 (746.6 mcf).

Price Considerations

Crude oil prices are established in a highly liquid, international market, with average crude oil prices that we receive generally fluctuating with changes in the futures price established on the NYMEX for West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil (“NYMEX-WTI”). The average crude oil price per Bbl received by us in fiscal 2008 was $71.35.

Natural gas and natural gas liquids prices in the geographical areas in which we operate are closely tied to established price indices which are heavily influenced by national and regional supply and demand factors and the futures price per MMBtu for natural gas delivered at Henry Hub, Louisiana established on the NYMEX (“NYMEX-Henry Hub”). At times, these indices correlate closely with the NYMEX-Henry Hub price, but often there are significant variances between the NYMEX-Henry Hub price and the indices used to price our natural gas. Average natural gas prices received by us in each of our operating areas generally fluctuate with changes in these established indices. The average natural gas price per Mcf received by us in fiscal 2008 was $7.46.

Governmental Regulations

Our operations are affected from time to time in varying degrees by political developments and U.S. federal, state, and local laws and regulations. In particular, natural gas and crude oil production and related operations are, or have been, subject to price controls, taxes and other laws and regulations relating to the industry. Failure to comply with such laws and regulations can result in substantial penalties. The regulatory burden on the industry increases our cost of doing business and affects our profitability. Although we believe we are in substantial compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, such laws and regulations are frequently amended or reinterpreted so we are unable to predict the future cost or impact of complying with such laws and regulations.

Environmental Matters

Our natural gas and crude oil exploration, development and production operations are subject to stringent U.S. federal, state and local laws governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. Numerous governmental agencies, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), issue regulations to implement and enforce such laws, and compliance is often difficult and costly. Failure to comply may result in substantial costs and expenses, including possible civil and criminal penalties. These laws and regulations may:

· require the acquisition of a permit before drilling commences;
· restrict the types, quantities and concentrations of various substances that can be released into the environment in connection with drilling, production and processing activities;

7


· limit or prohibit drilling activities on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands, frontier and other protected areas;
· require remedial action to prevent pollution from former operations such as plugging abandoned wells; and
· impose substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from operations.

In addition, these laws, rules and regulations may restrict the rate of natural gas and crude oil production below the rate that would otherwise exist. The regulatory burden on the industry increases the cost of doing business and consequently affects our profitability. Changes in environmental laws and regulations occur frequently, and any changes that result in more stringent and costly waste handling, disposal or clean-up requirements could adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. While we believe that we are in substantial compliance with current applicable environmental laws and regulations, and we have not experienced any materially adverse effect from compliance with these environmental requirements, we cannot assure you that this will continue in the future.

The U.S. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), also known as the “Superfund” law, imposes liability, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons who are considered to be responsible for the release of a “hazardous substance” into the environment. These persons include the present or past owners or operators of the disposal site or sites where the release occurred and the companies that transported or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substances at the site where the release occurred. Under CERCLA, such persons may be subject to joint and several liability for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment, for damages to natural resources and for the costs of certain health studies. It is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damages allegedly caused by the release of hazardous substances or other pollutants into the environment. Furthermore, although petroleum, including natural gas and crude oil, is exempt from CERCLA, at least two courts have ruled that certain wastes associated with the production of crude oil may be classified as “hazardous substances” under CERCLA and thus such wastes may become subject to liability and regulation under CERCLA. State initiatives to further regulate the disposal of crude oil and natural gas wastes are also pending in certain states, and these various initiatives could have adverse impacts on us.

Stricter standards in environmental legislation may be imposed on the industry in the future. For instance, legislation has been proposed in the U.S. Congress from time to time that would reclassify certain exploration and production wastes as “hazardous wastes” and make the reclassified wastes subject to more stringent handling, disposal and clean-up restrictions. Compliance with environmental requirements generally could have a materially adverse effect upon our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Although we have not experienced any materially adverse effect from compliance with environmental requirements, we cannot assure you that this will continue in the future.

The U.S. Federal Water Pollution Control Act (“FWPCA”) imposes restrictions and strict controls regarding the discharge of produced waters and other petroleum wastes into navigable waters. Permits must be obtained to discharge pollutants into state and federal waters. The FWPCA and analogous state laws provide for civil, criminal and administrative penalties for any unauthorized discharges of crude oil and other hazardous substances in reportable quantities and may impose substantial potential liability for the costs of removal, remediation and damages. Federal effluent limitations guidelines prohibit the discharge of produced water and sand, and some other substances related to the natural gas and crude oil industry, into coastal waters. Although the costs to comply with zero discharge mandated under federal or state law may be significant, the entire industry will experience similar costs and we believe that these costs will not have a materially adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. Some oil and gas exploration and production facilities are required to obtain permits for their storm water discharges. Costs may be incurred in connection with treatment of wastewater or developing storm water pollution prevention plans.

The U.S. Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”), generally does not regulate most wastes generated by the exploration and production of natural gas and crude oil. RCRA specifically excludes from the definition of hazardous waste “drilling fluids, produced waters, and other wastes associated with the exploration, development, or production of crude oil, natural gas or geothermal energy.” However, these wastes may be regulated by the EPA or state agencies as solid waste. Moreover, ordinary industrial wastes, such as paint wastes, waste solvents, laboratory wastes and waste compressor oils, are regulated as hazardous wastes. Although the costs of managing solid hazardous waste may be significant, we do not expect to experience more burdensome costs than would be borne by similarly situated companies in the industry.

In addition, the U.S. Oil Pollution Act (“OPA”) requires owners and operators of facilities that could be the source of an oil spill into “waters of the United States,” a term defined to include rivers, creeks, wetlands and coastal waters, to adopt and implement plans and procedures to prevent any spill of oil into any waters of the United States. OPA also requires affected facility owners and operators to demonstrate that they have at least $35 million in financial resources to pay for the costs of cleaning up an oil spill and compensating any parties damaged by an oil spill. Substantial civil and criminal fines and penalties can be imposed for violations of OPA and other environmental statutes.

Competition

The oil and gas industry is highly competitive. We compete with major oil companies, large and small independents, and individuals for the acquisition of leases and properties. Most competitors have financial and other resources which substantially exceed ours. Resources of our competitors may allow them to pay more for desirable leases and to evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties or prospects than us. Our ability to replace and expand our reserves is dependent on our ability to select and acquire producing properties and prospects for future drilling.

Operations

Oil and gas properties are customarily operated under the terms of a joint operating agreement, which provides for reimbursement of the operator’s direct expenses and monthly per well supervision fees. Per well supervision fees vary widely depending on the geographic location and producing formation of the well, whether the well produces oil or gas and other factors. We are not the operator of our wells, which are operated by Bayshore Exploration Inc, and Leexus Oil LLC. The operators charge the Company, without mark-up, for the Company’s working interest portion of the direct operating costs and overhead costs (which are comprised of administrative, supervision, office services and warehousing costs) that the operators incur with respect to our wells.

Employees

We currently have no full-time employees. All of our activities are conducted through contracting geologists, engineers, operators and other oil and gas professionals.

GLOSSARY OF CERTAIN OIL AND GAS TERMS

The following is a description of the meanings of some of the natural gas and oil industry terms used in this filing:

“Bbl” means a barrel or barrels of oil.

Btu” means British thermal unit, which means the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.

Completion” means the installation of permanent equipment for the production of natural gas or oil.

“Condensate” means hydrocarbons naturally occurring in the gaseous phase in a reservoir that condense to become a liquid at the surface due to the change in pressure and temperature.

“Crude” means unrefined liquid petroleum.

Gross acres” or “gross wells” refer to the total acres or wells, as the case may be, in which a working interest is owned.

“Mcf” means thousand cubic feet of natural gas.

MMBtu” means one million Btus.

Operator” refers to the individual or company responsible for the exploration, development and production of an oil or gas well or lease.

Proved developed oil and gas reserves” refers to reserves that can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. Additional oil and gas expected to be obtained through the application of fluid injection or other improved recovery techniques for supplementing the natural forces and mechanisms of primary recovery should be included as “proved developed reserves” only after testing by a pilot project or after the operation of an installed program has confirmed through production responses that increased recovery will be achieved.

Proved oil and gas reserves”  means the estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids  which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions,  i.e., prices and costs as of the date the estimate is made.  Reservoirs are considered proved if economic producibility is supported by either actual production or conclusive formation test.  The area of a reservoir considered proved includes (a) that portion delineated by drilling and defined by gas-oil and/or oil-water contacts, if any, and (b) the immediately adjoining portions not yet drilled, but which can be reasonably judged as economically productive on the basis of available geological and engineering data.  In the absence of information on fluid contacts, the lowest known structural occurrence of hydrocarbons controls the lower proved limit of the reservoir.  Reserves which can be produced economically through application of improved recovery techniques (such as fluid injection) are included in the “proved” classification when successful testing by a pilot project, or the operation of an installed

9


program in the reservoir, provides support for the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based. Estimates of proved reserves do not include the following: (a) oil that may become available from known reservoirs but is classified separately as “indicated additional reserves”; (b) crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, the recovery of which is subject to reasonable doubt because of uncertainty as to geology, reservoir characteristics or economic factors; (c) crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids that may occur in undrilled prospects; and (d) crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids that may be recovered from oil shales, coal, gilsonite and other such sources.

Proven properties” refers to properties containing proved reserves.

Proved undeveloped reserves” refers to reserves that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage or from existing wells where a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. Reserves on undrilled acreage are limited to those drilling units offsetting productive units that are reasonably certain of production when drilled. Proved reserves for other undrilled units can be claimed only where it can be demonstrated with certainty that there is continuity of production from the existing productive formation. Proved undeveloped reserves may not include estimates attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proved effective by actual tests in the area and in the same reservoir.

Recompletion” means the completion for production of an existing well bore in another formation from that in which the well has been previously completed.

Unproven properties” refers to properties containing no proved reserves.

Working interest” refers to the operating interest that gives the owner the right to drill, produce and conduct operating activities on the property and receive a share of production.

Workover” means operations on a producing well to restore or increase production.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

We do not own any properties other than oil and gas properties acquired during 2008. On September 10, 2008 we entered into a one year operating lease agreement with a non-affiliate for our corporate office, located at 888 3rd Street SW, Suite 1000, Calgary, AB Canada T2P 5C5. The monthly rent is $315 CDN.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

We are currently not a party to any material pending legal proceedings or government actions, including any bankruptcy, receivership, or similar proceedings. In addition, management is not aware of any known litigation or liabilities involving the operators of our properties that could affect our operations. Should any liabilities incur in the future, they will be accrued based on management’s best estimate of the potential loss. As such, there is no adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flow at this time. Furthermore, we do not believe that there are any proceedings to which any of our directors, officers, or affiliates, any owner of record of the beneficially or more than five percent of our common stock, or any associate of any such director, officer, affiliate, or security holder is a party adverse or has a material interest adverse to us.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

The Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of the Company was held on December 19, 2008, at which time the stockholders voted on the following proposals:

1. The election of a board of directors to serve until the next Annual Meeting or until their respective successors is duly elected and has been qualified.

Dividend Policy

We have not paid any dividends on our common stock and our board of directors presently intends to continue a policy of retaining earnings, if any, for use in our operations. The declaration and payment of dividends in the future, of which there can be no assurance, will be determined by the board of directors in light of conditions then existing, including earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors. The Nevada Revised Statutes prohibit us from declaring dividends where, if after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:

Except as set forth above, there are no restrictions that currently materially limit our ability to pay dividends or which we reasonably believe are likely to limit materially the future payment of dividends on common stock.

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

Discussion and Analysis

The following discussion and analysis is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. In addition, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those discussed in “Forward Looking Statements,” and elsewhere in this Form 10-K/A.

Overview

Entheos Technologies, Inc. (“the Company”) is a small independent diversified energy company engaged in the acquisition and development of crude oil and natural gas interests in the United States. The Company pursues oil and gas prospects in partnership with oil and gas companies with exploration, development and production expertise. The Company participates with a non-operating, minority working interest. The Company’s prospect areas consist of land in La Salle County, Lee County, Fayette County and Frio County, Texas.

Incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, the Company has an authorized capital of 200,000,000 shares of $0.00001 par value common stock, of which 63,075,122 shares are outstanding and 10,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value preferred stock, of which none are outstanding.

From 2002 until September 2008, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Email Solutions, Inc., the Company served as an Application Service Provider (“ASP”) providing reliable, real time, high volume outsourced email and search engine optimization services. Due to the limited success of the ASP business, management decided that it was in the best interest to abandon the Application Service Provider business and focus on identifying undervalued oil and gas opportunities for acquisition, development and exploration. The assets and liabilities, the results of operations and cash flows related to the ASP business were not classified as discontinued operations as the amounts were not significant.

We plan to grow our business by acquiring (i) low risk in-field oil and gas rights that are primarily developmental in nature that offset existing production and (ii) energy services companies that when combined with our management expertise in that area will display strong top line growth and cash flows. To date we have acquired only minority working interests. We do not operate the wells in which we have an interest.

Since inception, we have funded our operations primarily from private placements of our common stock and debt issuances. The Company has recently incurred net operating losses and operating cash flow deficits. It may continue to incur losses from operations and operating cash flow deficits in the future. However, the Company believes its cash and cash equivalent balances, anticipated cash flows from operations and other external sources of credit will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements through March 2010. The future of the Company after March 2010 will depend in large part on its ability to successfully generate cash flows from operations and raise capital from external sources to fund operations.

As of December 31, 2008, we generated revenues of $13,770 from operations of our new core business. From inception to December 31, 2008 we have accumulated losses of approximately $4,083,000. The Company completed a private placement for gross proceeds of $3,225,000 on July 28, 2008. Management believes that its current and future plans will enable it to continue operations through March 31, 2010.

Critical Accounting Policies

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management’s judgments and estimates in these areas are based on information available from both internal and external sources, including engineers, geologists, consultants and historical experience in similar matters. The more significant reporting areas impacted by management’s judgments and estimates are accruals related to oil and gas sales and expenses; estimates of future oil and gas reserves; estimates used in the impairment of oil and gas properties; and the estimated future timing and cost of asset retirement obligations.

Actual results could differ from the estimates as additional information becomes known. The carrying values of oil and gas properties are particularly susceptible to change in the near term. Changes in the future estimated oil and gas reserves or the estimated future cash flows attributable to the reserves that are utilized for impairment analysis could have a significant impact on the future results of operations.

Full Cost Method of Accounting for Oil and Gas Properties

The Company has elected to utilize the full cost method of accounting for its oil and gas activities. In accordance with the full cost method of accounting, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas reserves, including directly related overhead costs and related asset retirement costs, are capitalized.

All capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, including the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves, are amortized on the unit-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves once proved reserves are determined to exist. The Company has not yet obtained reserve reports because of its recent acquisition of its oil and gas properties and because these properties recently began producing. Management is assessing geographic and production data to determine the need for reserves studies. At December 31,

14


2008, there were no capitalized costs subject to amortization.

Oil and gas properties without estimated proved reserves are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the properties can be determined or until impairment occurs. The cost of these properties is assessed quarterly, on a property-by-property basis, to determine whether the properties are recorded at the lower of cost or fair market value. In determining whether such costs should be impaired, the Company evaluates historical experience, current drilling results, lease expiration dates, current oil and gas industry conditions, international economic conditions, capital availability, and available geological and geophysical information. As a result of this analysis, the Company recorded an impairment of $93,444. This impairment is similar to amortization and therefore is not added to the cost of properties being amortized.

Sales of oil and gas properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in income. The Company did not sell any properties during 2008 or 2007.

Full Cost Ceiling Test

At the end of each quarterly reporting period, the unamortized costs of oil and gas properties are subject to a “ceiling test” which basically limits capitalized costs to the sum of the estimated future net revenues from proved reserves, discounted at 10% per annum to present value, based on current economic and operating conditions, adjusted for related income tax effects.

Oil and Gas Revenues

The Company recognizes oil and gas revenues when oil and gas production is sold to a purchaser at a fixed or determinable price, when delivery has occurred and title has transferred, and if collectability of the revenue is probable. Delivery occurs and title is transferred when production has been delivered to a purchaser’s pipeline or truck. As a result of the numerous requirements necessary to gather information from purchasers or various measurement locations, calculate volumes produced, perform field and wellhead allocations and distribute and disburse funds to various working interest partners and royalty owners, the collection of revenues from oil and gas production may take up to 45 days following the month of production. Therefore, the Company may make accruals for revenues and accounts receivable based on estimates of its share of production. Since the settlement process may take 30 to 60 days following the month of actual production, its financial results may include estimates of production and revenues for the related time period. The Company will record any differences between the actual amounts ultimately received and the original estimates in the period they become finalized. As of December 31, 2008, all revenue and expense information had been received from the operators so there was no estimated revenue or expense.

Asset Retirement Obligation

The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” SFAS 143 amended SFAS 19,

“Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing Companies,” and, among other matters, addresses financial accounting and reporting for legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred, with the associated asset retirement cost capitalized as part of the related asset and allocated to expense over the asset’s useful life.

In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47 (“FIN No. 47”), Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations. FIN No. 47 clarifies that a conditional asset retirement obligation, as used in SFAS 143, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing or method of the settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. Accordingly, an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value can be reasonably estimated.

The Company does not have material asset retirement obligations as of December 31, 2008 or 2007.

Variables and Trends

We have very limited history with respect to our acquisition and development of oil and gas properties. In the event we are able to obtain the necessary financing to move forward with our business plan, we expect our expenses to increase significantly as we grow our business. Accordingly, the comparison of the financial data for the periods presented may not be a meaningful indicator of our future performance and must be considered in light of these circumstances.

Revenues

Oil and gas sales were $13,770 in fiscal 2008 compared to $0 in fiscal 2007 due to the acquisition of minority working interest in oil and gas properties in September and October 2008.

Costs and Expenses

Oil and gas production expense were $9,080 in fiscal year 2008 compared to $0 in fiscal year 2007 as the company entered into the oil & gas industry in September 2008.

General and administrative expenses (“G&A”) were $190,693 in fiscal year 2008 and $27,610 in fiscal year 2007 for an increase of $163,083. The change is primarily comprised of a $57,325 increase in legal and filing fees primarily due to the private placement in July 2008; an increase of $19,360 in stock option compensation expense as the Company issued its first stock option in several years, $14,520 of this total related to options granted to directors; an increase of $33,000 in fees paid to directors from $1,500 in fiscal year 2007 to $35,500 in fiscal year 2008 due to a change in director fee policy; an increase of $16,143 in contract accounting expense due to closing the Canadian office and an increase of $16,381 in audit fees.

Impairment of oil and gas properties was $93,444 in fiscal year 2008 and $0 in fiscal year 2007. The impairment is a result of management’s review of capitalized costs compared to estimated fair market value.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2008, the Company had a cash balance of $2,734,591. The Company has financed its operations primarily from cash on hand and proceeds from the July 28, 2008 private placement.

Net cash flows used in operating activities was ($69,687) for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared to net cash provided of $46,128 for 2007 due to more activity in the business as they changed from an application service provider to an oil and gas company.

On July 28, 2008, the Company completed a $3,200,000 self-directed private placement. The Private Placement consisted of the sale of 6,450,000 units at a price of $0.50 per Unit or $3,225,000 in the aggregate. The Units were offered and sold to a total of 6 investors, all of whom were accredited investors. Each unit consisted of one share of the Company’s common stock, one Series A Warrant to purchase a share of common stock at $0.60 per share for a period of 18 months from the date of issuance and one Series B Warrant to purchase a share of common stock at $0.75 per share for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance. In addition, 50,000 units were issued in payment of legal fees in the amount of $25,000.

Due to the "start up" nature of the Company's businesses, the Company expects to incur losses as it expands. The Company expects to raise additional funds through private or public equity investment in order to expand the range and scope of its business operations. The Company will seek access to private or public equity but there is no assurance that such additional funds will be available for the Company to finance its operations on acceptable terms, if at all.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors
Entheos Technologies, Inc.
Calgary, Alberta

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Entheos Technologies, Inc. ("the Company") as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated 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. The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Entheos Technologies, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, 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.

ENTHEOS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)

Note 1. Organization and Nature of Operations

Entheos Technologies, Inc. (“the Company”) is a small independent diversified energy company engaged in the acquisition and development of crude oil and natural gas interests in the United States. The Company pursues oil and gas prospects in partnership with oil and gas companies with exploration, development and production expertise. The Company has a non-operating, minority working interest in five properties. The Company’s prospect areas consist of land in La Salle County, Lee County, Fayette County and Frio County, Texas. Currently four of the five wells in which we have a minority interest are producing. We currently do not operate any of the wells in which we have an interest.

Incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, the Company has an authorized capital of 200,000,000 shares of $0.00001 par value common stock, of which 63,075,122 shares are outstanding and 10,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value preferred stock, of which none are outstanding.

From 2002 until September 2008, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Email Solutions, Inc., the Company served as an Application Service Provider (“ASP”) providing reliable, real time, high volume outsourced email and search engine optimization services. Due to the limited success of the ASP business, management decided that it was in the best interest to abandon the Application Service Provider business and focus on identifying undervalued oil and gas opportunities for acquisition, development and exploration. The assets and liabilities, the results of operations and cash flows related to the ASP business were not classified as discontinued operations as the amounts were not significant.

The Company has recently incurred net operating losses and operating cash flow deficits. It may continue to incur losses from operations and operating cash flow deficits in the future. However, management believes the Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances, anticipated cash flows from operations and other external sources of credit will be sufficient to meet its cash requirements through March 2010. The future of the Company after March 2010 will depend in large part on its ability to successfully generate cash flows from operations and raise capital from external sources to fund operations.

Note 2. Accounting Policies

Principles of Accounting

These financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Entheos Technologies, Inc. (a Nevada corporation) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Email Solutions, Inc. (a Nevada corporation). There are no assets and liabilities in the wholly owned subsidiary. The Company accounts for its undivided interest in oil and gas properties using the proportionate consolidation method, whereby its share of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are included in its consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management’s judgments and estimates in these areas are based on information available from both internal and external sources, including engineers, geologists, consultants and historical experience in similar matters. The more significant reporting areas impacted by management’s judgments and estimates are accruals related to oil and gas sales and expenses; estimates of future oil and gas reserves; estimates used in the impairment of oil and gas properties; and the estimated future timing and cost of asset retirement obligations.

Actual results could differ from the estimates as additional information becomes known. The carrying values of oil and gas properties are particularly susceptible to change in the near term. Changes in the future estimated oil and gas reserves or the estimated future cash

24


flows attributable to the reserves that are utilized for impairment analysis could have a significant impact on the future results of operations.

Full Cost Method of Accounting for Oil and Gas Properties

The Company has elected to utilize the full cost method of accounting for its oil and gas activities. In accordance with the full cost method of accounting, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas reserves, including directly related overhead costs and related asset retirement costs, are capitalized.

All capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, including the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves, are amortized on the unit-of-production method using estimates of proved reserves once proved reserves are determined to exist. The Company has not yet obtained reserve reports because of its recent acquisition of its oil and gas properties and because these properties recently began producing. Management is assessing geographic and production data to determine the need for reserves studies. At December 31, 2008, there were no capitalized costs subject to amortization.

Oil and gas properties without estimated proved reserves are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the properties can be determined or until impairment occurs. The cost of these properties is assessed quarterly, on a property-by-property basis, to determine whether the properties are recorded at the lower of cost or fair market value. In determining whether such costs should be impaired, the Company evaluates historical experience, current drilling results, lease expiration dates, current oil and gas industry conditions, international economic conditions, capital availability, and available geological and geophysical information. As a result of this analysis, the Company recorded an impairment of $93,444 for 2008. This impairment is similar to amortization and therefore is not added to the cost of properties being amortized.

Sales of oil and gas properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in income. The Company did not sell any properties during 2008 or 2007.

Full Cost Ceiling Test

At the end of each quarterly reporting period, the unamortized costs of oil and gas properties are subject to a “ceiling test” which basically limits capitalized costs to the sum of the estimated future net revenues from proved reserves, discounted at 10% per annum to present value, based on current economic and operating conditions, adjusted for related income tax effects.

Oil and Gas Revenues

The Company recognizes oil and gas revenues when oil and gas production is sold to a purchaser at a fixed or determinable price, when delivery has occurred and title has transferred, and if collectability of the revenue is probable. Delivery occurs and title is transferred when production has been delivered to a purchaser’s pipeline or truck. As a result of the numerous requirements necessary to gather information from purchasers or various measurement locations, calculate volumes produced, perform field and wellhead allocations and distribute and disburse funds to various working interest partners and royalty owners, the collection of revenues from oil and gas production may take up to 45 days following the month of production. Therefore, the Company may make accruals for revenues and accounts receivable based on estimates of its share of production. Since the settlement process may take 30 to 60 days following the month of actual production, its financial results may include estimates of production and revenues for the related time period. The Company will record any differences between the actual amounts ultimately received and the original estimates in the period they become finalized. As of December 31, 2008, all revenue and expense information had been received from the operators so there was no estimated revenue or expense.

Asset Retirement Obligation

The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” SFAS 143 amended SFAS 19,

“Financial Accounting and Reporting by Oil and Gas Producing Companies,” and, among other matters, addresses financial accounting and reporting for legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred, with the associated asset retirement cost capitalized as part of the related asset and allocated to expense over the asset’s useful life.

In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47 (“FIN No. 47”), Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations. FIN No. 47 clarifies that a conditional asset retirement obligation, as used in SFAS 143, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing or method of the settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. Accordingly, an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement

25


obligation if the fair value can be reasonably estimated.

The Company does not have material asset retirement obligations as of December 31, 2008 or 2007.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents at December 31, 2008 and 2007. The Company occasionally has cash deposits in excess of insured limits.

Income Taxes

The Company adopted SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under SFAS 109, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes”, effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on disclosure and other matters. The adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the Company’s financial position.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under SFAS 123(R) “Share-Based Payment” which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

Loss Per Share

Basic earnings or loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings or loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalents. Basic earnings/loss per share is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) for the period. All earnings or loss per share amounts in the financial statements are basic earnings or loss per share, as defined by SFAS 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Convertible securities that could potentially dilute basic earnings or loss per share in the future, such as options and warrants, are not included in the computation of diluted earnings or loss per share because to do so would be antidilutive.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company has adopted SFAS 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. For 2008 and 2007 the Company did not have any items of comprehensive income, other than net loss.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company translates foreign assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries, other than those denominated in United States Dollars, at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange throughout the year. Gains or losses from these translations are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss), until all of the investment in the subsidiaries is sold or liquidated. The translation adjustments do not recognize the effect of income tax because the Company expects to reinvest the amounts indefinitely in operations.

Transaction gains (losses) that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the local functional currency are included in the statements of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The determination of fair value of financial instruments is made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of

26


significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair values. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and accounts payable – related parties approximates their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions.

Related Party Transactions

A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of the Company’s securities and their immediate families, (ii) the Company’s management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. (See Note 5).

Recent and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair-value measurements required under other accounting pronouncements. It does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. SFAS 157 was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-1 (FSP FAS 157-1), which excludes SFAS 13, “Accounting for Leases” and certain other accounting pronouncements that address fair value measurements under SFAS 13, from the scope of SFAS 157. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-2 (FSP 157-2), which provides a one-year delayed application of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Therefore, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 with respect to financial assets and liabilities only. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 157 as amended by FSP FAS 157-1 and FSP FAS 157-2 on January 1, 2009, the beginning of its fiscal year as related to nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The Company does not expect the application of the amended aspects of SFAS No. 157 to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset in a Market That Is Not Active” (FSP 157-3), which clarifies the application of SFAS 157 when the market for a financial asset is inactive. Specifically, FSP 157-3 clarifies how (1) management’s internal assumptions should be considered in measuring fair value when observable data are not present, (2) observable market information from an inactive market should be taken into account, and (3) the use of broker quotes or pricing services should be considered in assessing the relevance of observable and unobservable data to measure fair value. The guidance in FSP 157-3 is effective immediately and did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115,” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company has not elected the fair value option under SFAS 159 for any instrument, but may elect to do so in future periods.

In July 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF 07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to be Used in Future Research and Development Activities” (EITF 07-3). EITF 07-3 clarifies the accounting for nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for research and development activities. EITF 07-3 states that such payments should be capitalized and recognized as an expense as the goods are delivered or the related services are performed. If an entity does not expect the goods to be delivered or the services rendered, the capitalized advance payment should be charged to expense. EITF 07-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company’s adoption of EITF 07-3 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No 51” (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, changes in a parent’s ownership of a noncontrolling interest, calculation and disclosure of the consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest and fair value measurement of any retained noncontrolling equity investment. SFAS 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company must adopt SFAS 160 on January 1, 2009, the beginning of its fiscal year. The Company does not expect the application of SFAS No. 160 to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141R, “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141R), which establishes principles and requirements for the reporting entity in a business combination, including recognition and measurement in the financial statements of the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to

27


business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company must adopt SFAS 141R on January 1, 2009, the beginning of its fiscal year. The Company does not expect the application of SFAS 141R to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 110, “Share-Based Payment” (SAB 110) which amends SAB 107, “Share-Based Payment,” to permit public companies, under certain circumstances, to use the simplified method in SAB 107 for employee option grants after December 31, 2007. Use of the simplified method after December 2007 is permitted only for companies whose historical data about their employees’ exercise behavior does not provide a reasonable basis for estimating the expected term of the options. The Company currently uses the simplified method to estimate the expected term for employee option grants as adequate historical experience is not available to provide a reasonable estimate. SAB 110 is effective for employee options granted after December 31, 2007. The Company adopted SAB 110 effective January 1, 2008 and continues applying the simplified method until enough historical experience is readily available to provide a reasonable estimate of the expected term for employee option grants.

In June 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position EITF 03-06-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (FSP EITF 03-06-1). FSP EITF 03-06-1 provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method in SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share” and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does not believe the implementation of FSP EITF 03-06-1 will have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Loss Per Share

Basic earnings or loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period of the financial statements. Diluted earnings or loss per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalents. All share and per share information are adjusted retroactively to reflect stock splits and changes in par value, when applicable. All loss per share amounts in the financial statements are basic loss per share because the inclusion of stock options and warrants outstanding would be antidilutive.

The Company amortizes all capitalized costs of oil and gas properties on the unit-of-production method using proved reserves. The Company has not yet obtained reserve studies with estimated proved reserve quantities because of its recent acquisition of these properties and also because these properties recently began producing. Management is assessing geographic and production data to determine the need for reserves studies. Therefore at December 31, 2008, there were no capitalized costs subject to amortization.

Unproven properties costs as of December 31, 2008 are associated with an exploratory oil well which had not been completed and is not producing. These exploratory well costs have also been excluded from amortization. Management expects that the recompletion efforts will be finished during 2009 at which time the capitalized costs will be added to the amortization base.

Properties which are not being amortized are assessed quarterly, on a property-by-property basis, to determine whether they are recorded at the lower of cost or fair market value. As a result of this analysis, the Company recorded an impairment of $93,444 for 2008. This impairment is similar to amortization and therefore is not added to the cost of properties being amortized.

Note 5. Related Party Transactions

Executive Management: For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company incurred $10,000 in fees paid to the Derek Cooper the President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

originally subscribed for at $0.0033 each were returned to the Company for cancellation and for no consideration.

On July 28, 2008, the Company completed a self-directed private placement of 6,450,000 units at a price of $0.50 per unit or $3,225,000 in the aggregate. Each unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, one Series A stock purchase warrant (Series A warrant) to purchase a share of common stock at $0.60 per share for a period of 18 months from the date of issuance and one Series B stock purchase warrant (Series B warrant) to purchase a share of common stock at $0.75 per share for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance. The relative fair value of the common stock was estimated to be $1,571,638 and the relative fair value of the warrants was estimated to be $1,653,362 as determined based on the relative fair value allocation of the proceeds received. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. In connection with the private placement, the Company issued an aggregate of 50,000 units in payment of legal fees in the amount of $25,000. These units were otherwise issued on the same terms and conditions as the units sold in the private placement.

Warrants

The Company account for warrants granted to unrelated parties in accordance with EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock.” In accordance with the EITF, the fair value of such warrants is classified as a component of permanent equity within additional paid-in capital and is calculated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes Option pricing model.

Each of the Company’s warrants outstanding entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock for each warrant share held. No warrants were exercised during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. A summary of the Company’s warrants outstanding is as follows:

  Series A  Series B 
  Warrants  Warrants 
Warrants outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2008   6,450,000   6,450,000

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value for all “in-the-money” options (i.e. the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the year ended December 31, 2008 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on December 31, 2008. This amount is based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock. Total intrinsic value of options exercised was $nil at December 31, 2008 (2007: $nil).

A summary of the Company’s unvested stock options and changes during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 is as follows:

All stock options outstanding at December 31, 2008, were granted on the same date, have the same exercise price, term and grant date fair value.

During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company granted 200,000 and nil stock options awards. For purposes of determining the stock-based compensation expense for stock option awards granted, the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model was used with the following assumptions: dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 195.38%, risk-free interest rate of 2.97%, and expected term of 5 years.

The weighted average fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2008 was $0.73 per share.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, stock option compensation expense of $19,360 was recognized as general and administrative expenses. There was no stock based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2007. The Company had $125,987 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options as of December, 31 2008, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 4.7 years.

The Company does not repurchase shares to fulfill the requirements of options that are exercised. Further, the Company issue new shares when options are exercised.

8. Income Taxes

There is no current or deferred tax expense for 2008 and 2007, due to the Company’s loss position. The benefits of temporary differences have not been recorded. The deferred tax consequences of temporary differences in reporting items for financial statement and income

31


 

tax purposes are recognized, as appropriate. Realization of the future tax benefits related to the deferred tax assets is dependent on many factors, including the Company’s ability to generate taxable income within the net operating loss carryforward period. Management has considered these factors in reaching its conclusion as to the valuation allowance for financial reporting purposes and has recorded a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset. The income tax effect, utilizing a 34% income tax rate, of temporary differences comprising the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities is a result of the following at December 31:

The 2008 increase in the valuation allowance was $45,000 (2007: $8,000).

The Company has available net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $3,771,000 for tax purposes to offset future taxable income which expires commencing 2011 through to the year 2028. Pursuant to the Tax Reform Act of 1986, annual utilization of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards may be limited if a cumulative change in ownership of more than 50% is deemed to occur within any three-year period. The tax years 2005 through 2007 remain open to examination by federal agencies and other jurisdictions in which it operates.

Compensation of Directors

Our Board of Directors determines the non-employee directors’ compensation for serving on the Board and its committees. In establishing director compensation, the Board is guided by the following goals: 

       ·  Compensation should consist of a combination of cash and equity awards that are designed to fairly pay the directors for work required on behalf of a company of the size and scope of Entheos Technologies, Inc.; 
       ·  Compensation should align the directors’ interests with the long-term interests of stockholders; and 
       ·  Compensation should assist with attracting and retaining qualified directors. 

The Company does not pay director compensation to directors who are also employees. Non-employee directors receive between $2,000 and $2,500 per month for their services as directors; each is entitled to be reimbursed for reasonable and necessary expenses incurred on our behalf. During the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, $25,000, $1,500 and $31,800 respectively was paid to directors for services rendered. Stock-based compensation expense relating to director stock option awards totaled $14,519, $0 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 respectively.

Each non employee director receives an initial stock option entitling him to purchase up to 50,000 shares of stock at a price per share equal to the closing price of our common stock, as reported on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board on the date of the option grant; the options vest at the rate of 20% per annum in arrears.

We have no other arrangements pursuant to which any our directors were compensated during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 for services as a director.

In accordance with applicable SEC rules and regulations, the following table reports all compensation the Company paid to non-employee directors during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008:

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Director Independence

We are not listed on a US securities exchange and, therefore, not subject to the corporate governance requirements of any such exchange, including those related to the independence of directors.

Sidhu and Hudson are independent from the Company’s management and qualify as “independent directors” under the standards of independence under the applicable National Association of Securities Dealers (“ NASD ”) listing standards. This means that, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, none of those directors (1) is an officer or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries or (2) has any direct or indirect relationship with the Company that would interfere with the exercise of his independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. As a result, the Company has a majority of independent directors as required by the NASD listing standards.

Exhibit 14.1

ENTHEOS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

CODE OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND ETHICS

     This Employee Code of Corporate Governance and Ethics applies to all employees, officers and directors of Entheos Technologies, Inc, its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “Entheos” or the “Company.”

     Entheos is proud of its reputation for integrity and honesty and is committed to these core values. Personal responsibility is at the core of the Company’s principles and culture. Entheos’ reputation depends on you maintaining the highest standards of conduct in all business endeavors. You have a personal responsibility to protect this reputation, to "do the right thing," and to act with honesty and integrity in all dealings with customers, business partners and each other. You should not take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts, or any other unfair-dealing practice.

     The principles set forth in this document describe how you should conduct yourself. This Code does not address every expectation or condition regarding proper and ethical business conduct. Good common sense is your best guide. It does not substitute for Company policies and procedures. In every business-related endeavor, you must follow the ethics and compliance principles set forth in this Code as well as all other applicable corporate policies and procedures.

     You are accountable for reading, understanding and adhering to this Code. Further, compliance with all laws, rules and regulations related to Company activities is mandatory and your conduct must be such as to avoid even the appearance of impropriety. Failure to so comply could result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.

     If you are uncertain about what to do, refer to the relevant section of this Code. If you are still unsure, speak with your supervisor or, if you prefer, a member of the Company’s Corporate Ethics and Compliance Committee, if any.

In the Workplace

     Entheos is committed to providing a diverse and inclusive work environment, free of all forms of unlawful discrimination, including any type of harassment.

Respect

     The Company’s greatest strength lies in the talent and ability of its associates. Since working in partnership is vital to Entheos’ continued success, mutual respect must be the basis for all work relationships. Engaging in behavior that ridicules, belittles, intimidates, threatens or demeans, affects productivity, can negatively impact the Company’s reputation and may violate the law. You are expected to treat others with the same respect and dignity that any reasonable person may wish to receive, creating a work environment that is inclusive, supportive and free of harassment and unlawful discrimination.

Equal Employment Opportunity

     The talents and skills needed to conduct business successfully are not limited to any particular group of

44



people. Entheos has a long-standing commitment to a meaningful policy of equal employment opportunity. The Company’s policy is to ensure equal employment and advancement opportunity for all qualified individuals without distinction or discrimination because of race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, national origin, disability, covered veteran status, marital status or any other unlawful basis. As part of this commitment, Entheos will make reasonable accommodations for applicants and qualified employees.

Sexual Harassment and Other Discriminatory Harassment

     Sexual harassment and other discriminatory harassment are illegal and violate Company policies. Actions or words of a sexual nature that harass or intimidate others are prohibited. Similarly, actions or words that harass or intimidate based on race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, national origin, disability, covered veteran status, marital status or any other unlawful basis are also prohibited.

Corporate Governance Certification Program

     The responsibility for maintaining the Company’s reputation for integrity and compliance rests in large measure on associates who guide its operations and others in particularly sensitive positions. The Corporate Governance Certification Program is designed to have you affirm your compliance with the standards contained in this Code and to help identify situations that may in fact, or in appearance, involve conflicts of interest or other improper conduct. If you are required to complete or update a Corporate Governance Certificate, you must do so in a timely and forthright manner with accurate responses. Above all, you must remember that any act that gives the appearance of being improper can damage Entheos’ reputation and impair the public’s confidence in the Company. All such acts must be avoided.

     You must acknowledge that you have read and understand this Employee Code of Corporate Governance and Ethics.

Conflicts of Interest

     Company policy prohibits conflicts of interest. A "conflict of interest" occurs when your private interest interferes in any way with the interests of Entheos. In addition to avoiding conflicts of interest, you should also avoid even the appearance of a conflict. A conflict situation can arise when you or a member of your family takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult for you to perform your work for the Company objectively and effectively. A conflict of interest can also arise when you or a member of your family receives improper personal benefits as a result of your position at Entheos. Though it is impossible to list every activity or situation that could present a problem, certain of the more obvious ones are noted below.

Corporate Opportunities

     You owe a duty to Entheos to advance its legitimate interests. You are prohibited from competing with the Company and from using corporate property, information or position for personal opportunities or gain. You may not use or offer for use Entheos resources (time, technology, property or information) for non-Entheos business.

Outside Activities

Officer or Director of Another Business

     Officers and employees may not serve as a director, officer, trustee, partner or in any other principal position of another for-profit or publicly held organization or company without the prior approval of Entheos’

45



Chief Executive Officer (or a designee). Such requests for approval should be directed through the office of the Chief Compliance Officer. You should obtain approval from Entheos’ Chief Executive Officer (or a designee), before agreeing to serve on the board or in a principal position of a trade or professional association or of a non-profit organization. In any event, these outside activities must not impact in any way your daily job responsibilities in your current position.

Second Job

     Your first loyalty as an employee is to the Company. Because employment outside of Entheos could interfere with your responsibilities to Entheos or be detrimental to the Company, you are encouraged to discuss the situation with the Chief Executive Officer or the Chairperson of the Corporate Ethics and Compliance Committee.

Communication of Conflicts

     All potential and actual conflicts of interest or material transactions or relationships that reasonably could be expected to give rise to such a conflict or the appearance of such a conflict must be disclosed. If you have any doubt about whether a conflict of interest exists after consulting this Code, you should seek assistance from the Corporate Ethics and Compliance Committee.

Compliance With Laws, Rules and Regulations

     You are required to comply fully with all laws, rules and regulations affecting Entheos’s business and its conduct in business matters. Regarding international operations, it is expected that the Company will comply with the laws of the countries in which we operate. Where Company policy differs from local law or custom, you should follow the more restrictive policy. Because the laws that are applicable to the Company’s businesses are often very complex and penalties for violations are severe, you should consult the Chief Executive Officer, who may direct you to our legal counsel, if you have any questions or concerns. If you suspect or become aware of a violation by an employee or the Company, it is your responsibility to report this immediately. Certain key laws are listed below.

Insider Trading

     It is unlawful to buy or sell securities on the basis of material, non-public information (whether such information is gained in the course of employment or otherwise) for Company-owned or managed accounts, for personal accounts, or for any accounts that associates may influence, including, but not limited to, accounts of family members. This type of activity is known as "insider trading" and is prohibited by securities laws and Company policy.

     Information may be material if there is a substantial likelihood that the information would affect the price of the security or that a reasonable investor would consider the information significant in deciding whether to buy or sell a security. Information is considered to be non-public if it has not been disclosed to the public. Generally, information is considered disclosed to the public if it has been published in newspapers or other media, has been the subject of a press release or a public filing with the SEC and, in all cases, at least 48 hours has passed since the publication, release or filing.

     Substantial penalties may be assessed against people who trade while in possession of material inside information and can also be imposed upon companies and so-called controlling persons such as officers and directors, who fail to take appropriate steps to prevent or detect insider trading violations by their employees or subordinates. If you violate the Company’s insider trading policy, sanctions imposed by law enforcement

46



officials, as well as Company-imposed sanctions, up to and including termination of employment, could result.

Antitrust

     Antitrust laws are designed to preserve and foster free and open competition and thereby assure reasonable prices, efficient services and a productive economy. Any activity that reduces or limits free and open competition is subject to antitrust scrutiny. Deliberate or even accidental violations of these laws must not occur. For example, the Company may not agree with competitors to fix prices or terms of financial services, to designate pre-determined geographical areas where each will do business or to boycott anyone.

Money Laundering

     Money laundering involves an attempt to conceal the true source of funds and typically takes one of two forms. There are transactions used to transform the proceeds from illicit activities into funds with an apparently legal source and there are transactions that take legitimate funds and funnel them through organizations to fund illegitimate activities, such as terrorism. Money laundering often involves complex financial transactions and encompasses many different types of financial products and services.

     Under the existing money laundering laws of the U.S., it is a crime if you engage knowingly in a financial transaction that involves proceeds from criminal activities or is intended to promote illegal activity. Such knowledge includes "willful blindness" to the legitimacy of the source of the funds. Severe penalties, including substantial fines and even imprisonment, can be imposed on companies and their associates for involvement in or failure to report actual or even suspicious activities relating to money laundering.

Foreign Corrupt Practices Act

     The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) prohibits the giving or offering of money or anything of value, including gifts or services:

47



     While the law allows certain payments to foreign officials to facilitate routine government actions, determining what is a permissible "facilitating" payment involves difficult legal judgments. Therefore, except for legally prescribed fees and similar payments, no payment or gift may be made to a foreign official related to business activities unless the transaction is approved in advance by the General Counsel or a designee. You should make every effort to eliminate or minimize such payments. If such payments are approved, they must be properly recorded in the Company’s books and records.

     Entheos and its associates will not directly or indirectly engage in bribery, kickbacks, payoffs or other corrupt business practices, in their relations with governmental agencies or customers.

Boycotts

     U.S. antiboycott laws and regulations prohibit or severely restrict the Company from participating in boycotts against countries friendly to the U.S. and require us to report both legal and illegal boycott requests to the government.

Financial Management and Disclosure

     The Company’s goal and intention is to comply with the laws, rules and regulations by which we are governed. In fact, we strive to comply not only with requirements of the law but also with recognized compliance practices. All illegal activities or illegal conduct are prohibited whether or not they are specifically set forth in this Code. Where law does not govern a situation or where the law is unclear or conflicting, you should discuss the situation with the Chief Financial Officer or Chief Executive Officer and management should seek advice from the Company’s General Counsel. Business should always be conducted in a fair and forthright manner. Directors, officers and employees are expected to act according to high ethical standards.

     The continuing excellence of the Company’s reputation depends upon our full and complete disclosure of important information about the Company that is used in the securities marketplace. Our financial and non-financial disclosures and filings with the SEC must be transparent, accurate and timely. Proper reporting of reliable, truthful and accurate information is a complex process involving cooperation between many departments and disciplines. We must all work together to insure that reliable, truthful and accurate information is disclosed to the public. The Company must disclose to the SEC, current security holders and the investing public information that is required, and any additional information that may be necessary to ensure the required disclosures are not misleading or inaccurate. The Company requires you to participate in the disclosure process, which is overseen by the Chief Financial Officer and/or Chief Executive Officer.

     The disclosure process is designed to record, process, summarize and report material information as required by all applicable laws, rules and regulations. Participation in the disclosure process is a requirement of a public company, and full cooperation and participation by Chief Financial Officer, Chief Executive Officer and, upon request, other employees in the disclosure process is a requirement of this Code.

     Officers and employees must fully comply with their disclosure responsibilities in an accurate and timely manner or be subject to discipline of up to and including termination of employment.

Accounting Standards

48



     Entheos maintains its accounting records and prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP) and with statutory accounting principles, as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulating authorities. If you are aware or have reason to believe that there are violations of either law or policy regarding the Company’s financial records or operations, you are obligated to report such information promptly.

Audits and Outside Examinations

     There may be occasions when the operations of Entheos are subject to audit or examination. These reviews may be conducted by the Company’s external auditor, state and federal regulatory agencies. Both the law and Entheos policy require that you cooperate fully with all appropriate requests for information, and prohibit attempting to influence, interfere with or provide inaccurate information in response to a legitimate audit or examination request. You may not fraudulently influence, mislead, manipulate or coerce outside auditors if you know or you are unreasonable in not knowing that by doing so you could render the financial statements materially misleading or affect the auditors in other ways. If you are contacted by an outside agency regarding a financial examination or audit, you must immediately notify the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer before responding. If the contact is initiated by a state or federal agency you should contact the Corporate Ethics & Compliance Committee.

Protection and Proper Use of Company Assets

     Safeguarding and appropriately using Company assets, whether those assets take the form of paper files, electronic data, computer resources, trademarks or otherwise, is critical.

Confidentiality

     Entheos is committed to preserving customer and employee trust. All information, whether it is business, customer or employee-related, must be treated in a confidential manner, and disclosing it is limited to those people who have an appropriate business or legal reason to have access to the information. You need to take special precautions when transmitting information via e-mail, fax, the Internet or other media. Remember to treat all such communications as if they were public documents and printed on letterhead.

     In addition, Company meetings are confidential. You may not use audio or video equipment to record these meetings without the specific prior authorization of the head of your department.

Technology

     Safeguarding computer resources is critical because the Company relies on technology to conduct daily business. Software is provided to enable you to perform your job and is covered by federal copyright laws. You cannot duplicate, distribute or lend software to anyone unless permitted by the license agreement.

     Entheos provides electronic mail (e-mail) and Internet access to assist and facilitate business communications. All information stored, transmitted, received, or contained in these systems is the Company’s sole property and is subject to its review at any time. All e-mail and Internet use must be consistent with Entheos’s policies, practices and commitment to ensuring a work environment where all persons are treated with respect and dignity. Because these systems provide access to a worldwide audience, you should act at all times as if you are representing Entheos to the public, and should preserve Entheos’s system security and protect its name and trademarks. You must act responsibly and adhere to all laws and Company policies when using e-mail or the Internet.

49



     You must use your computer appropriately in accordance with Company standards and be sure to secure both the computer and all data from loss, damage or unauthorized access.

Intellectual Property: Patents, Copyrights And Trademarks

     Except as otherwise agreed to in writing between the Company and an officer or employee, all intellectual property you conceive or develop during the course of your employment shall be the sole property of the Company. The term intellectual property includes any invention, discovery, concept, idea, or writing whether protectable or not by any United States or foreign copyright, trademark, patent, or common law including, but not limited to designs, materials, compositions of matter, machines, manufactures, processes, improvements, data, computer software, writings, formula, techniques, know-how, methods, as well as improvements thereof or know-how related thereto concerning any past, present, or prospective activities of the Company. Officers and employees must promptly disclose in writing to the Company any intellectual property developed or conceived either solely or with others during the course of your employment and must render any and all aid and assistance, at our expense to secure the appropriate patent, copyright, or trademark protection for such intellectual property.

     Works of authorship including literary works such as books, articles, and computer programs; musical works, including any accompanying words; dramatic works, including any accompanying music; pantomimes and choreographic works; pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works; motion pictures and other audiovisual works; sound recordings; and architectural works are protected by United States and foreign copyright law as soon as they are reduced to a tangible medium perceptible by humans with or without the aid of a machine. A work does NOT have to bear a copyright notice in order to be protected and without the copyright owner’s permission, no one may make copies of the work, create derivative works, distribute the work, perform the work publicly, or display the work publicly.

     Copyright laws may protect items posted on a website. Unless a website grants permission to download the Internet content you generally only have the legal right to view the content. If you do not have permission to download and distribute specific website content you should contact the Company’s General Counsel. If you are unclear as to the application of this Intellectual Property Policy, or if questions arise, please consult with the Company’s General Counsel.

Additional Matters Pertaining to Directors

     Annex A hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference, applies to the Company’s directors.

Administration

Reporting of Any Illegal or Unethical Behavior; Points of Contact

     If you are aware of any illegal or unethical behavior or if you believe that an applicable law, rule or regulation or this Code has been violated, the matter must be promptly reported to the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer or the Corporate Ethics & Compliance Committee. In addition, if you have a concern about the Company’s accounting practices, internal controls or auditing matters, you should report your concerns to these same persons or entities. If you have questions about anything in this Code or if you believe Entheos or an associate is violating the law or Company policy or engaging in conduct that appears unethical you may contact anyone of the foregoing entities. You should take care to report violations to a person who you believe is not involved in the alleged violation. All reports of alleged violations will be promptly investigated and, if appropriate, remedied, and if legally required, immediately reported to the proper governmental authority.

50



     You will be expected to cooperate in assuring that violations of this Code are promptly addressed. Entheos has a policy of protecting the confidentiality of those making reports of possible misconduct to the maximum extent permitted by law. In no event will there be any any retaliation against someone for reporting an activity that he or she in good faith believes to be a violation of any law, rule, regulation, internal policy or this Code. Any supervisor intimidating or imposing sanctions on someone for reporting a matter will be subject to discipline up to and including termination.

     You should know that it is unlawful to retaliate against a person, including with respect to their employment, for providing truthful information to a law enforcement officer relating to the possible commission of any federal offense. Employees who allege that they have been retaliated against for providing information to a federal agency, Congress or a person with supervisory authority over the employee about suspected fraud may file a complaint with the Department of Labor, or in federal court if the Department of Labor does not take action.

Responding to Improper Conduct

     This Code will be enforced on a uniform basis for everyone without regard to his or her position. Violators of this Code will be subject to disciplinary action. Supervisors and managers of a disciplined employee or an employee reporting a violation may also be subject to disciplinary action for failure to properly oversee an employee’s conduct, or for retaliation against an employee who reports a violation.

     The response will depend upon a number of factors including whether the improper behavior involved illegal conduct. Disciplinary action may include, but is not limited to, reprimands and warnings, probation, suspension, demotion, reassignment, reduction in compensation or termination. In any disciplinary action arising from violations of this Code, prior truthful disclosure, or the failure to fully disclose the issue and all pertinent information with respect to the issue, will weigh heavily in the disposition of the matter. Certain actions and omissions prohibited by the Code might also be unlawful and could lead to individual criminal prosecution and, upon conviction, to fines and imprisonment.

     Waivers of or exceptions to this Code will be granted only under exceptional circumstances. There shall be no amendment or modification to this Code except by a vote of the Board of Directors or a designated board committee that will ascertain whether an amendment or modification is appropriate. In case of any amendment or modification of this Code that applies to an officer or director of the Company, the amendment or modification shall be made publicly available.

ENTHEOS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

AMENDED AND RESTATED CODE OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND ETHICS

PROVISIONS RELATED TO DIRECTORS

1. Responsibilities and Functions of Board of Directors

     The Board of Directors, elected each year by the Company’s stockholders at an annual meeting of stockholders, fosters and encourages an environment of strong disclosure controls and procedures, including internal controls, financial accountability, high ethical standards and compliance with applicable policies, laws and regulations. The primary responsibility of members of the Company's Board of Directors is to uphold the best interests of the Company and its stockholders as a whole by overseeing the management of the Company's business and affairs. While the Board may call special meetings in order to address specific needs of the Company from time to time, it is generally expected that the Board of Directors will meet at regular intervals and are expected to hold approximately four meetings or more per fiscal year during which the Board will perform a number of specific functions, including but not limited to:

a.      Reviewing and discussing the performance of the Company, as well as any immediate issues facing the company;
b.      Reviewing, approving and monitoring fundamental financial and business strategies and major corporate actions;
c.      Ensuring processes are in place for maintaining the integrity of its financial statements, the integrity of compliance with law and ethics and
d.      Assessing and reviewing major risks facing the Company and planning options, if any, for their mitigation.

     Board members are encouraged to suggest the inclusion of item(s) for the agenda for each quarterly meeting of the Board of Directors in consultation with each other and senior management of the Company. It is expected that each Director will make every effort to attend each Board meeting. While attendance in person is preferred, attendance by teleconference is permitted if necessary under the circumstances. The proceedings and deliberations of the Board are confidential. Each Director will maintain the confidentiality of information received in connection with his or her service as a Director.

2. Board Access to Management

     At all times, Board members shall be able to freely access Company management without hindrance or undue delay while ensuring that such contact is not distracting to the business operations of the Company and that such contact, if in writing, is copied to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. In addition, management may be invited to attend Board meetings, during which time management may brief the Board on items of particular interest and/or concern. Senior management is encouraged to offer presentations at such meetings by individuals who can provide additional insight into items being considered or who may have potential for greater responsibility and should be given exposure to the Board.

53



3. Board Access to Independent/Outside Advisors

     As may be required by applicable law or rule, the Board of Directors has the authority, when it should be deemed necessary to carry out its duties, to retain independent legal, financial or other advisors and to approve each such advisor's fees and other retention terms at the expense of the Company.

4. Size of Board

     The Company's Bylaws provides that the number of Directors shall be fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors, but in no event shall be less than the minimum required by law. The Board should be large enough to maintain the Company’s required expertise but not too large to function efficiently. At this time, the Board of Directors believes that the optimal number of Board members is five (5), while recognizing and allowing however, for changing circumstances that may warrant a higher or lower number from time to time.

5. Ethics and Conflicts of Interest of the Board

     All Directors, as well as officers and employees, are expected to act ethically at all times and to acknowledge their adherence to the policies comprising the Company's Code of Ethics. At any time that a Board member develops an actual or potential conflict of interest with the Company, the conflict should be reported without delay to the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. In the event that a conflict of interest cannot be effectively resolved, the Board member shall resign. Should a member of the Board or any member of his or her immediate family have a matter before the Board in which they have a personal interest, then this interest and the material facts and relationships relating thereto must be disclosed promptly. Furthermore, if a Board member becomes aware of a business opportunity that could be of potential benefit to the Company, then he or she must first introduce this opportunity to the Board of Directors for consideration and not endeavor to profit personally from the opportunity unless the Company declines to pursue it.

6. Criteria and Selection of Board Membership

     The Board of Directors is responsible to the Company’s stockholders for identifying and recommending the most qualified Director candidates to fill newly created directorship positions and vacancies and further recommend these candidates for election by stockholders. Directors should possess the highest personal and professional ethics, responsibility, fairness, integrity and values and be committed to representing the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders. They must also have an inquisitive and objective perspective, practical wisdom and mature judgment. The Company’s general counsel or its Chief Financial Officer shall be responsible for providing an orientation for all new Directors and for periodically providing materials or briefing sessions on subjects that would assist Directors in discharging their duties. Each new Director shall, within six weeks of election to the Board, spend a reasonable amount of time at corporate headquarters for an in-depth overview of the Company's strategic plans, its financial statements and key policies and practices. Directors must be willing to devote sufficient time to carrying out their duties and responsibilities effectively and should be committed to serve on the Board for an extended period of time. Directors should offer their resignation in the event of any significant change in their personal circumstances, including a change in their principal job responsibilities or in the event that a conflict of interest cannot be effectively resolved.

7. Term Limits for Board Members

     There is no time term-limit for service to the Board, nor does the Board believe that a term limit should be established. By abstaining from term limits, the Company believes it can successfully retain Board members who, over time, have been able to garner industry knowledge and are intimate with the Company’s operations. Such Directors are able to significantly contribute to the Board’s function since they have helped to foster the

54



Company’s corporate vision and better understand industry trends.

8. Outside Board Directorships

     Directors must be willing to devote sufficient time to carrying out their duties and responsibilities effectively. Since service to the Company’s Board of Directors may require significant time and responsibility commitments, although not mandatory, Board members are encouraged to limit the number of public company boards that they may concurrently serve on to four. Board members shall notify the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of any and/or all other public company boards on which they may serve or to which they have received an invitation to serve prior to accepting such positions.

9. Board Performance Assessment and Review

     Meaningful Board evaluation may require a self-assessment of the effectiveness of the full Board and individual Directors. Accordingly, the Board shall perform an annual self-evaluation through its Directors. This review may require establishing protocols and procedures for evaluation of individual Board members in order to ensure that each sitting member brings expertise that is relevant to the Company’s needs at that time and that the skills and contributions of the Directors are conducive to the Board’s function as a group. While individual Board member review may be of value, the purpose of this evaluation is to increase the effectiveness of the Board, not to focus on the performance of individual Board members.

10. Stock Option Grants and Cash Compensation

     Directors, Officers, employees of and consultants to the Company, selected by the Board of Directors may be eligible to receive stock grants in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Incentive Stock Compensation Plan, as in effect from time to time. The grant may be in the form of a stock award, restricted stock purchase offer, incentive stock option or a non-statutory option. The Board of Directors designates the times at which the grant will be made, the type and number of options (and the number of shares subject to those options) or stock awards to be granted. In addition Board members may be eligible for cash compensation in accordance with the Company’s compensation guidelines. All Board members will be reimbursed for travel and related meeting attendance expenses.

11. Prohibition on Personal Loans

     The Company and the Board of Directors will not engage in offering or making available credit or loan arrangements to any member of the Board or the Company’s executive management.
