Pioneer has an authorized capital of 75,000,000 shares, consisting of (a) 65,000,000 shares of Common Stock with a par value of $0.001 per share, of which 11,264,500 shares of Common Stock are currently issued and outstanding, and (b) 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.001 per share, of which no shares of Preferred Stock are issued or outstanding.

Pioneer has not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings. There has been no material reclassification, merger consolidation or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of Pioneer’s business.

(b)  
Business of Pioneer

Pioneer is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral exploration properties.

Pioneer is presently seeking to acquire a new mineral or oil and gas exploration property.  Pioneer has minimal finances and accordingly there is no assurance that it will be able to acquire an interest in a new property.  Pioneer anticipates that it will have to complete additional financings in connection with the acquisition of any new property.  To date, Pioneer has not entered into any agreement for the acquisition of any interest in a new property.  Further, Pioneer has no arrangements for any financing required to fund its continued operations or the acquisition of any interest in a new property.  Based on Pioneer’s financial position, there is no assurance that it will be able to continue its business operations.

Pioneer has not generated any revenue or conducted any development operations since inception.

In January 2008, Pioneer abandoned its interest in three mineral exploration claims named Pipe 1, Queen 1 and Queen 2, which were collectively known as the “Pipe Property” and which are situated along Sawmill Creek, a tributary of the Fraser River, approximately 6.3 km (3.9 miles) northwest of Yale, British Columbia in the New Westminster mining division of British Columbia, Canada.  Pioneer conducted the first phase of an initial preliminary exploration program for nickel and molybdenum on the Pipe Property.  Pioneer obtained a geological report in November 2007 that summarized the results and conclusions of this initial phase, which concluded that further exploration of the Pipe Property was not warranted.  Accordingly, Pioneer has abandoned its interest in the Pipe Property.

During Pioneer’s fiscal year end, Pioneer entered in two share purchase agreements to acquire an aggregate 125,000 shares in the capital of Macallan Oil & Gas Inc., which represented 2.1% of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Macallan Oil & Gas Inc.  Macallan Oil & Gas Inc. is a private Barbados company and had a 39% revenue interest in an oil discovery in Trinidad Tobago.

On November 20, 2008, Pioneer entered into a share purchase agreement with Scott Macleod for the acquisition of 75,000 shares in the capital of Macallan Oil & Gas Inc. for the purchase price of CDN$56,250.  Pioneer agreed to pay Mr. Macleod CDN$11,700 as an initial payment, which was paid by Pioneer to Mr. Macleod on the day of signing the share purchase agreement.  Pioneer made three more payments of CDN$14,850 each on January 14, 2009, February 20, 2009 and May 21, 2009 respectively.

Also, on November 20, 2008, Pioneer entered into a share purchase agreement with Ian McGavney for the acquisition of 50,000 shares in the capital of Macallan Oil & Gas Inc. for the purchase price of CDN$37,500.  Pioneer agreed to pay Mr. McGavney CDN$7,800 as an initial payment, which was paid by Pioneer to Mr. McGavney on the day of signing the share purchase agreement.  Pioneer made three more payments of CDN$9,900 each on January 20, 2009, March 11, 2009 and May 21, 2009 respectively.

The effective date of sale and purchase of the 125,000 shares was May 21, 2009.

See Exhibit 10.6 – Share Purchase Agreement (Macleod) and Exhibit 10.7 – Share Purchase Agreement (McGavney) for more details.

On November 20, 2008, the Company received a $50,000 loan by issue of a promissory note. The note is convertible to 200,000 common shares of the Company at the lender’s sole option. The note is non-interest bearing, unsecured and is payable on demand.  See Exhibit 10.8 – Promissory Note for more details.

On February 19, 2009, the Company received a $50,000 loan by issue of a promissory note. The note is convertible to 41,667 common shares of the Company at the lender’s sole option. The note is non-interest bearing, unsecured and is payable on demand.  See Exhibit 10.9 – Promissory Note for more details.

On May 15, 2009, the Company received a $36,000 loan by issue of a promissory note. The note is convertible to 20,000 common shares of the Company at the lender’s sole option. The note is non-interest bearing, unsecured and is payable on demand.  See Exhibit 10.10 – Promissory Note for more details.

On November 26, 2009, subsequent to Pioneer’s fiscal year end, it came to the attention of management that Macallan Oil & Gas Inc. no longer had its revenue interest in the oil discovery in Trinidad Tobago.  Management cannot confirm when exactly or how Macallan Oil & Gas Inc. lost its revenue interest as Macallan Oil & Gas Inc. is a private company and management does not have access to those records.  As a result of the loss of revenue interest, management immediately contacted the previous sellers of the shares and demanded that the sellers repurchase from Pioneer the 125,000 shares in Macallan Oil & Gas Inc.  As a result, the sellers arranged for Skye Capital Corporation to purchase the 125,000 shares from Pioneer at a purchase price of CDN$100,000 payable on or before May 31, 2010 pursuant to the terms and conditions of a share purchase agreement and promissory note.  To date, Pioneer has not received any of the purchase proceeds.  See Exhibit 10.11 – Share Purchase Agreement and Promissory Note for more details.



Competition

The mineral exploration business is an extremely competitive industry.  Pioneer is competing with many other exploration companies looking for minerals.  Pioneer is one of the smallest exploration companies and a very small participant in the mineral exploration business.  Being a junior mineral exploration company, Pioneer competes with other similar companies for financing and joint venture partners.  Additionally, Pioneer competes for resources such as professional geologists, camp staff, rental equipment, and mineral exploration supplies.

Raw Materials

The raw materials for any of Pioneer’s exploration program will include camp equipment, hand exploration tools, sample bags, first aid supplies, groceries and propane.  All of these types of materials are readily available from a variety of suppliers.  If heavy machinery and qualified operators are required, Pioneer intends to contract the services of professional mining contractors, drillers and geologist.

Dependence on Major Customers

Pioneer has no customers.

Patents/Trade Marks/Licences/Franchises/Concessions/Royalty Agreements or Labour Contracts

Pioneer has no intellectual property such as patents or trademarks. Additionally, Pioneer has no royalty agreements or labor contracts.

Government Controls and Regulations

Pioneer’s business is subject to various levels of government controls and regulations, which are supplemented and revised from time to time.  However, Pioneer is unable to predict what additional legislation or revisions may be proposed that might affect its business or when any such proposals, if enacted, might become effective.  Such changes, however, could require increased capital and operating expenditures and could prevent or delay certain operations by Pioneer.

The various levels of government controls and regulations address, among other things, the environmental impact of mining and mineral processing operations.  With respect to the regulation of mining and processing, legislation and regulations in various jurisdictions establish performance standards, air and water quality emission standards and other design or operational requirements for various components of operations, including health and safety standards.  Legislation and regulations also establish requirements for decommissioning, reclamation and rehabilitation of mining properties following the cessation of operations, and may require that some former mining properties be managed for long periods of time.

Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws

Pioneer currently has no costs to comply with environmental laws.

Expenditures on Research and Development During the Last Two Fiscal Years

Pioneer has not incurred any research or development expenditures since its inception on June 9, 2005.

Number of Total Employees and Number of Full Time Employees

Pioneer does not have any employees other than the directors and officers of Pioneer.  Pioneer intends to retain the services of independent geologists, prospectors and consultants on a contract basis to conduct the exploration programs on as required throughout the course of its mineral exploration program.

(d) Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

There have been no sales of unregistered securities within the last three years that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 701 of Regulation S-K.

There are no outstanding options or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into, shares of Pioneer’s common stock.

(e)  
Penny Stock Rules

Trading in Pioneer’s common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules.  The SEC has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  These rules require that any broker-dealer who recommends Pioneer’s common stock to persons other than prior customers and accredited investors, must, prior to the sale, make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to execute the transaction.  Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with trading in the penny stock market.  In addition, broker-dealers must disclose commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities they offer.  The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in Pioneer’s securities, which could severely limit their market price and liquidity of Pioneer’s securities.  The application of the “penny stock” rules may affect your ability to resell Pioneer’s securities.

Item 6.  Selected Financial Data.

Pioneer is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this item.

Item 7.                      Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

THE FOLLOWING PRESENTATION OF THE PLAN OF OPERATION OF PIONEER EXPLORATION INC. SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION INCLUDED HEREIN.

Overview

Pioneer was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 9, 2005.

Pioneer is an exploration stage company.  Pioneer’s principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources.  Pioneer does not currently have any interest in any mineral exploration properties and is presently seeking to acquire a new mineral or oil and gas exploration property.
 
 
Management has decided to expand Pioneer’s focus and identify and assess new projects for acquisition purposes that are more global in nature.  Management will continue to focus on exploring and adding value to the project interests already acquired but will also now focus on new projects on an international level.

Plan of Operation

During the next 12 months management plans on acquiring an interest in a new mineral or oil and gas exploration property.  Pioneer has minimal finances and accordingly there is no assurance that it will be able to acquire an interest in any new property.  Management anticipates that Pioneer will have to complete additional financings in connection with the acquisition of any interest in a new property.  To date, Pioneer has not entered into any agreements for the acquisition of any interest in a new property.  Further, Pioneer has no arrangements for any financing required to funds our continued operations or the acquisition of any interest in a new property.  Further, even if Pioneer is able to acquire an interest in a new property, there is no assurance that it will be able to raise the financing necessary to complete exploration of the new property.  Based on Pioneer’s financial position, there is no assurance that Pioneer will be able to continue its business operations.

 
Page - - 7

 



In addition, management anticipates incurring the following expenses during the next 12 month period:

·  
Management anticipates spending approximately $3,000 in ongoing general and administrative expenses per month for the next 12 months, for a total anticipated expenditure of $36,000 over the next 12 months.  The general and administrative expenses for the year will consist primarily of professional fees for the audit and legal work relating to Pioneer’s regulatory filings throughout the year, as well as transfer agent fees, annual mineral claim fees and general office expenses.

·  
Management anticipates spending approximately $12,000 in complying with Pioneer’s obligations as a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  These expenses will consist primarily of professional fees relating to the preparation of Pioneer’s financial statements and completing its annual report, quarterly report, and current report filings with the SEC.

As at August 31, 2009, Pioneer had cash of $5,299 and a working capital deficit of $210,559.  Accordingly, Pioneer will require additional financing in the amount of $258,559 in order to fund its obligations as a reporting company under the Securities Act of 1934 and its general and administrative expenses for the next 12 months.
 
 
During the 12 month period following the date of this annual report, management anticipates that Pioneer will not generate any revenue.  Accordingly, Pioneer will be required to obtain additional financing in order to continue its plan of operations.  Management believes that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding Pioneer’s plan of operations as it does not have tangible assets to secure any debt financing.  Rather management anticipates that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of Pioneer’s common stock.  However, Pioneer does not have any financing arranged and cannot provide investors with any assurance that it will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of its common stock to fund its plan of operations.  In the absence of such financing, Pioneer will not be able to acquire any interest in a new property and its business plan will fail.  Even if Pioneer is successful in obtaining equity financing and acquire an interest in a new property, additional exploration property will be required before a determination as to whether commercially exploitable mineralization or quantities of oil or gas present.  If Pioneer does not continue to obtain additional financing, it will be forced to abandon its business and plan of operations.

Risk Factors

An investment in Pioneer’s common stock involves a number of very significant risks.  Prospective investors should refer to all the risk factors disclosed in Pioneer’s Form SB-2/A filed on February 20, 2007 and Pioneer’s Form 10-KSB filed on December 11, 2007.

Financial Condition

As at August 31, 2009, Pioneer had a cash balance of $5,299.  Management does not anticipate generating any revenue for the foreseeable future.  When additional funds become required, the additional funding will come from equity financing from the sale of Pioneer’s common stock or sale of part of its interest in Macallan Oil & Gas Inc.  If Pioneer is successful in completing an equity financing, existing shareholders will experience dilution of their interest in Pioneer.  Pioneer does not have any financing arranged and Pioneer cannot provide investors with any assurance that Pioneer will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of its common stock.  In the absence of such financing, Pioneer’s business will fail.

Based on the nature of Pioneer’s business, management anticipates incurring operating losses in the foreseeable future.  Management bases this expectation, in part, on the fact that very few mineral claims in the exploration stage ultimately develop into producing, profitable mines.  Pioneer’s future financial results are also uncertain due to a number of factors, some of which are outside its control.  These factors include, but are not limited to:

·  
Pioneer’s ability to raise additional funding;
·  
the market price for minerals;
·  
the results of Pioneer’s proposed exploration programs on its exploration mineral properties; and
·  
Pioneer’s ability to find joint venture partners for the development of its exploration mineral properties.

Due to Pioneer’s lack of operating history and present inability to generate revenues, Pioneer’s auditors have stated their opinion that there currently exists a substantial doubt about Pioneer’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Even if Pioneer acquires a mineral or oil and gas property and raises the necessary capital to conduct an exploration program, and it is successful in identifying a mineral deposit, Pioneer will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before it will know if it has a commercially viable mineral deposit or reserve.

Functional Currency

Pioneer’s functional currency is the United States dollar.  Pioneer has determined that its functional currency is the United States dollar for the following reasons:

●      Pioneer’s current and future financings are and will be in United States dollars;
●      Pioneer maintains a majority of its cash holdings in United States dollars;
●      a majority of Pioneer’s administrative expenses are undertaken in United States dollars; and
●      all cash flows are generated in United States dollars.

Exploration Expenses – Canadian GAAP vs. US GAAP

Under Canadian GAAP, mineral properties including exploration, development and acquisition costs, may be carried at cost and charged to operations if the properties are abandoned or impaired.  Under US GAAP, all expenditures relating to mineral interests prior to the completion of a definitive feasibility study, which establishes proven and probable reserves, must be expensed as incurred.  Once a final feasibility study has been completed, additional costs incurred to bring a mine into production are capitalized as development costs.  Pioneer’s audited financial statements use US GAAP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of August 31, 2009, Pioneer had total assets of $81,688, and a working capital deficit of $210,559, compared with a working capital deficit of $78,807 as of August 31, 2008.  The increase in the working capital deficit was primarily due to an increase in convertible notes payable, and the amount due to a related party, and a decrease in accounts payable.  The assets consisted of $5,299 in cash and $76,389 in the investment of the Macallan Oil & Gas Inc. shares and the liabilities consisted of $1,909 in accounts payable, $29,300 in accrued liabilities, 136,000 in convertible notes payable, and $48,649 due to a related party.

There are no assurances that Pioneer will be able to achieve further sales of its common stock or any other form of additional financing.  If Pioneer is unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue its plan of operations, then Pioneer will not be able to continue its exploration programs and its business will fail.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009, net cash used in operating activities increased to $59,506 compared with $31,417 for the same period in the previous fiscal year.

At August 31, 2009, Pioneer had cash of $5,299.  During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009, Pioneer used $59,506 in cash for operating activities.

Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $76,389 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009 as compared with cash flow from investing activities of $nil for the same period in the previous fiscal year.  The increase in net cash provided by investing activities was due to the purchase of the Macallan Oil & Gas Inc. shares.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash flows provided by financing activities increased to $140,977 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2009 as compared with financing activities of $31,472 for the same period in the previous fiscal year.  The increase in net cash provided by financing activities was due to the proceeds from convertible notes payable and advances from a related party.

Results of Operation for the Period Ended August 31, 2009

Impairment Loss on Mineral Properties

Impairment losses on mineral properties are mineral property acquisition costs that do not meet the accounting standard’s criteria for capitalization.  As a result of not meeting the criteria for capitalization the acquisition costs cannot be included on the balance sheet as an asset and a loss equal to the amount of the acquisition costs is recorded.

Accretion of beneficial conversion feature

Accretion of beneficial conversion feature is non-cash interest expense relating to Pioneer’s convertible notes.  Pioneer records the value of the conversion feature included in the notes as an additional interest cost of the financing.

Mineral Property Costs

Mineral property costs incurred during fiscal 2008 were attributable to the payments made to maintain title to Pioneer’s mineral claims.   A total of $5,887 was spent on the completion of Phase I of Pioneer’s exploration program on the Pipe Property.

Professional Fees

Professional expenses included legal, accounting and auditing expenses associated with Pioneer’s corporate organization, the preparation of Pioneer’s financial statements and Pioneer’s continuous disclosure filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Pioneer has no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would affect its liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or other benefits.

Material Commitments for Capital Expenditures

Pioneer had no contingencies or long-term commitments at August 31, 2009.

Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations

Pioneer is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this item.

Critical Accounting Policies

Pioneer’s financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.  Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses.  These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies.  Management believes that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of Pioneer’s financial statements is critical to an understanding of Pioneer’s financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period.  Pioneer regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to deferred income tax asset valuation allowances.  Pioneer bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources.  The actual results experienced by Pioneer may differ materially and adversely from Pioneer’s estimates.  To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Mineral Property Costs

Pioneer has been in the exploration stage since its inception on June 9, 2005 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations.  It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties.  Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred.  Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized when incurred using the guidance in EITF 04-02, “Whether Mineral Rights Are Tangible or Intangible Assets”.  Pioneer assesses the carrying costs for impairment under SFAS No.  144, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets” at each fiscal quarter end.  When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized.  Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve.  If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.

To the Directors and Stockholders of
Pioneer Exploration Inc.  (An Exploration Stage Company)

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Pioneer Exploration Inc.  (An Exploration Stage Company) as of August 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ deficit for the years then ended, and accumulated from June 9, 2005 (Date of Inception) to August 31, 2009. 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 standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes 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 internal control over financial reporting.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pioneer Exploration Inc.  (An Exploration Stage Company) as of August 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and accumulated from June 9, 2005 (Date of Inception) to August 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has working capital deficiency and accumulated losses from operations since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Pioneer Exploration Inc.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
August 31, 2009
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)

1.  
Nature of Operations and Going Concern
 
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 9, 2005. The Company is an Exploration Stage Company, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No.7 “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”. The Company’s principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Company has not presently determined whether its properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.
 
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has never generated revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its secretary and convertible note holder, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, confirmation of the Company’s interests in the underlying properties, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at August 31, 2009, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $210,559 and has accumulated losses of $323,655 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
2.  
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
a)  
Basis of Presentation
 
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is August 31.  The Company evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after August 31, 2009 up through December 10, 2009, the date the Company issued these financial statements.  During this period, the Company did not have any material recognizable subsequent events other than those disclosed in Note 8.
 
b)  
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the recovery of long-lived assets, donated expenses and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
 
d)  
Investment
 
The Company accounts for the investment described in Note 3 pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position 115 – “A Guide to Implementation of Statement 115 on Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” and  APB 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock”.  As the fair value of the investment is not readily determinable, and the estimation of fair value is not practicable, the Company has recorded the fair value at cost and evaluated it for impairment at August 31, 2009.  As there were no events or circumstances that indicate impairment at August 31, 2009, the investment is recorded at its cost of $76,389 at August 31, 2009.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
e)  
Mineral Property Costs
 
The Company has been in the exploration stage since its inception on June 9, 2005 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized when incurred using the guidance in EITF 04-02, “Whether Mineral Rights Are Tangible or Intangible Assets”. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets” at each fiscal quarter end. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.
 
f)  
Long-lived Assets
 
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.
 
g)      Asset Retirement Obligations
 
The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” which establishes standards for the initial measurement and subsequent accounting for obligations associated with the sale, abandonment or other disposal of long-lived tangible assets arising from the acquisition, construction or development and for normal operations of such assets.  As at August 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company does not have any asset retirement obligations.
 
h)  
Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
 
SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. SFAS No. 157 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
 
Level 1
 
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2
 
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
 
Level 3
 
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

h)     Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements (continued)
 
The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, investment, accounts payable, amounts due to a related party and convertible notes payable.
 
Pursuant to SFAS No. 157, the fair value of cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Convertible notes payable are valued based on “Level 2” inputs, consisting of model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. The Company’s investment is carried at cost as there are no quoted market prices, and a reasonable estimate of fair value could not be made without incurring excessive costs.  The Company believes that the recorded values of accounts payable and amounts due to a related party approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company’s balance sheet as of August 31, 2009 as follows:

Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The financial risk is the risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.
 
i)  
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.
 
j)  
Foreign Currency Translation
 
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Occasional transactions may occur in Canadian dollars and management has adopted SFAS No. 52 “Foreign Currency Translation”. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Average rates are used to translate revenues and expenses. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.

k)  
Comprehensive Loss
SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at August 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.
 
l)  
Basic and Diluted Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
The Company computes net earnings (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share". SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive.  At August 31, 2009, the Company had 261,667 (2008 - Nil) dilutive securities outstanding relating to shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible notes payable.
 
m)  
Stock-based Compensation
 
In accordance with SFAS 123R, “Share Based Payments”, the Company accounts for share-based payments using the fair value method. Common shares issued to third parties for non-cash consideration are valued based on the fair market value of the services provided or the fair market value of the common stock on the measurement date, whichever is more readily determinable.
 
n)  
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) will become the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission “SEC” under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of this statement, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 30, 2009. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”. The objective of this statement is to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities. This statement addresses (1) the effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets”, and (2) concern about the application of certain key provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not always provide timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. This statement is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

n)     Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB No. 140”. The object of this statement is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. This statement addresses (1) practices that have developed since the issuance of SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”, that are not consistent with the original intent and key requirements of that statement and (2) concerns of financial statement users that many of the financial assets (and related obligations) that have been derecognized should continue to be reported in the financial statements of transferors. SFAS No. 166 must be applied as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. This statement must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. Additionally, on and after the effective date, the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity is no longer relevant for accounting purposes. The disclosure provisions of this statement should be applied to transfers that occurred both before and after the effective date of this statement. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133”. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged.  The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (R) “Business Combinations”. SFAS No. 141 (R) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. SFAS No. 141 (R) also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141 (R) will become effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51”. SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 will become effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
o)  
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
 
On April 13, 2009, the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Office of the Chief Accountant and Division of Corporation Finance issued SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 111 (“SAB 111”). SAB 111 amends and replaces SAB Topic 5M, “Miscellaneous Accounting—Other Than Temporary Impairment of Certain Investments in Equity Securities” to reflect FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2. This FSP provides guidance for assessing whether an impairment of a debt security is other than temporary, as well as how such impairments are presented and disclosed in the financial statements. The amended SAB Topic 5M maintains the prior staff views related to equity securities but has been amended to exclude debt securities from its scope. SAB 111 is effective upon the adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2. The adoption of SAB 111 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued three FSPs intended to provide additional application guidance and enhanced disclosures regarding fair value measurements and other-than-temporary impairments of securities.

2.       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
o)     Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
 
FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly,” provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” FSP FAS 157-4 must be applied prospectively and retrospective application is not permitted. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. An entity early adopting FSP FAS 157-4 must also early adopt FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2.
 
FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,” provides additional guidance designed to create greater clarity and consistency in accounting for and presenting impairment losses on debt securities. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. An entity may early adopt this FSP only if it also elects to early adopt FSP FAS 157-4.
 
FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” enhances consistency in financial reporting by increasing the frequency of fair value disclosures. FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1 is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. However, an entity may early adopt these interim fair value disclosure requirements only if it also elects to early adopt FSP FAS 157-4 and FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2.
 
The adoption of these FSPs did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”. SFAS No. 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS No. 165 is to be applied to interim and annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The disclosures required by this statement are presented in Note 2(a).
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.  SFAS No. 162 became effective on November 13, 2008 following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The objective of SFAS No. 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

Investment
 
The Company entered into two separate share purchase agreements to acquire an aggregate of 125,000 common shares of Macallan Oil & Gas Inc. (“Macallan”), a private company domiciled in Barbados, for an aggregate acquisition cost of CDN$93,750 as follows:
 
a)  
On November 20, 2008, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement for the acquisition of 75,000 shares of Macallan for the purchase price of CDN$56,250 payable in instalments. On May 21, 2009, the Company paid the full amount of the purchase price of $46,050 (CDN$56,250).
 
b)  
On November 20, 2008, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement for the acquisition of 50,000 shares of Macallan for the purchase price of CDN$37,500 payable in instalments. On May 21, 2009 the Company paid the full amount of the purchase price of $30,339 (CDN$37,500).
 
The investment is recorded at cost as there are no quoted market prices for this investment and pursuant to SFAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” a reasonable estimate of the fair value was not practicable. At August 31, 2009, the carrying value of the shares was $76,389 (2008 - $Nil).  Subsequent to August 31, 2009, the Company sold the 125,000 shares of Macallan for CDN$100,000.  Refer to Note 8.

4.  
Mineral Properties
 
The Company entered into an agreement dated August 25, 2005 to acquire a 100% interest in three mineral claims located near Yale, British Columbia, Canada, for consideration of $7,500. The claims were registered in the name of the Secretary of the Company, who has executed a trust agreement whereby the Secretary agreed to hold the claims in trust on behalf of the Company. The Vendor retains a 2% net smelter royalty. The cost of the mineral property was initially capitalized. As at August 31, 2006, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $7,500, as it had not yet been determined whether there are proven or probable reserves on the property. On January 16, 2008, the three mineral claims were allowed to lapse due to poor results from the first phase of the exploration program.

5.  
Related Party Transactions
 
a)  
As at August 31, 2009, the Company is indebted to the Secretary of the Company for $48,649 (August 31, 2008 - $44,458), representing expenditures paid on behalf of the Company. This amount is unsecured, bears no interest, and is due on demand.
 
b)  
The Company recognizes donated services provided by the Secretary of the Company at $250 per month and donated services provided by the President of the Company at $250 per month. In addition, the Company previously recognized donated rent at $250 per month up until February 28, 2009, after which the Company began renting office space from an unrelated third party. During the year ended August 31, 2009, the Company recognized $1,500 (2008 – $3,000) in donated rent and $6,000 (2008 – $6,000) in donated services.

6.  
Convertible Notes Payable
 
a)  
On November 20, 2008, the Company received a $50,000 loan and issued a promissory note. The note is convertible into 200,000 common shares of the Company at $0.25 per share at the holder’s option. The note is non-interest bearing, unsecured and is payable on demand.
 
In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 98-5 “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios”, the Company recognized the value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature of $50,000 as additional paid-in capital and an equivalent discount which was charged to operations as the note is due on demand.
 
b)  
On February 19, 2009, the Company received a $50,000 loan and issued a promissory note. The note is convertible into 41,667 common shares of the Company at $1.20 per share at the holder’s option. The note is non-interest bearing, unsecured and is payable on demand.

7.           Income Taxes

As at August 31, 2009, the Company has net operating losses carried forward of $197,571 available to offset taxable income in future years which commence expiring in fiscal 2025.

The income tax benefit differs from the amount computed by applying the federal and state income tax rate of 35% to net loss before income taxes for the period ended August 31, 2009 as a result of the following:

The Company has recognized a valuation allowance for the deferred income tax asset since the Company cannot be assured that it is more likely than not that such benefit will be utilized in future years. The valuation allowance is reviewed annually. When circumstances change and which cause a change in management's judgment about the realizability of deferred income tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation allowance is generally reflected in current income.

Subsequent Event

On November 30, 2009, the Company sold its investment of 125,000 common shares of Macallan Oil & Gas Inc. (refer to Note 3) in exchange for a CDN$100,000 non-interest bearing promissory note due May 31, 2010.

In connection with the preparation of this annual report on Form 10-K, an evaluation was carried out by Pioneer’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of Pioneer’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) as of August 31, 2009.  Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Based on that evaluation, Pioneer’s management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that Pioneer’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information was accumulated or communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  In particular, Pioneer has identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, as discussed below.

In March 2009, management implemented the following remediation procedures, which are intended to remediate the causes of Pioneer’s disclosure procedures and controls ineffectiveness:

·  
adopted a Disclosure Committee Charter (see Exhibit 99.1 for more details)
·  
appointed Pioneer’s officers and directors to the Disclosure Committee
·  
adopted policy to utilize external service providers to review and provide comment on disclosure reports and statements

Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as required by Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Section 404 A.  Pioneer’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of Pioneer’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Pioneer’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

·  
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of Pioneer’s assets;

·  
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Board of Directors; and


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control –Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).  As a result of this assessment, management identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.

 
Page - - 27

 
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of Pioneer’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on Pioneer’s board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (3) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (4) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.  The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by Pioneer’s Chief Financial Officer in connection with the audit of its financial statements as of August 31, 2009 and communicated the matters to management.

As a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described above, management has concluded that, as of August 31, 2009, Pioneer’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on the criteria in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2), (3) and (4) above did not have an effect on Pioneer’s financial results.  However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on Pioneer’s board of directors caused and continues to cause an ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of the required internal controls over financial reporting.

Pioneer is committed to improving its financial organization.  As part of this commitment and when funds are available, Pioneer will create a position to Pioneer to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase its personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function by:  (i) appointing one or more outside directors to its board of directors who will also be appointed to the audit committee of Pioneer resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls over financial reporting; and (ii) preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists that will set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.

Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who will also be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on Pioneer’s Board.  In addition, management believes that preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists will remedy the following material weaknesses:  (i) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (ii) ineffective controls over period end financial close and reporting processes.  Further, management believes that the hiring of additional personnel who have the technical expertise and knowledge will result proper segregation of duties and provide more checks and balances within the department.  Additional personnel will also provide the cross training needed to support Pioneer if personnel turn-over issues within the department occur.  This coupled with the appointment of additional outside directors will greatly decrease any control and procedure issues Pioneer may encounter in the future.

Management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of Pioneer’s internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

Pioneer’s independent auditors have not issued an attestation report on management’s assessment of Pioneer’s internal control over financial reporting.  As a result, this annual report does not include an attestation report of Pioneer’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Pioneer was not required to have, nor has Pioneer, engaged its independent registered public accounting firm to perform an audit of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit Pioneer to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in Pioneer’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended August 31, 2009, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Pioneer’s internal control over financial reporting, with the exception of the following:

In March 2009, management completed its assessment of Pioneer’s internal controls over financial reporting and found the internal controls to be ineffective.  As a result of such assessment, management decided that certain changes to Pioneer’s internal controls over financial reporting were required, and those changes should materially affect Pioneer’s internal control over financial reporting in the future when implemented.

When funds are available to Pioneer, management will create a position in Pioneer that will be responsible for segregating duties consistent with control objectives and Pioneer will increase its personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function by (i) appointing one or more outside directors to its board of directors who will also be appointed to the audit committee of Pioneer resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls over financial reporting, and (ii) preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists that will set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting.

Also, in March 2009 management made certain changes to Pioneer’s disclosure controls and procedures and implemented certain remediation procedures, as listed above.

(b)           Identify Significant Employees

Pioneer has no significant employees other than the directors and officers of Pioneer.

(c)           Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among the directors, executive officers or persons nominated or chosen by Pioneer to become directors or executive officers.

(d)           Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 
(1)
No bankruptcy petition has been filed by or against any business of which any director was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time.

 
(2)
No director has been convicted in a criminal proceeding and is not subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences).

 
(3)
No director has been subject to any order, judgement, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities.

 
(4)

All reports were filed with the SEC on a timely basis and Pioneer is not aware of any failures to file a required report during the period covered by this annual report.

(f)           Nomination Procedure for Directors

Pioneer does not have a standing nominating committee; recommendations for candidates to stand for election as directors are made by the board of directors.  Pioneer has not adopted a policy that permits shareholders to recommend candidates for election as directors or a process for shareholders to send communications to the board of directors.

(g)           Audit Committee Financial Expert

Pioneer has no financial expert.  Management believes the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive.  Pioneer’s Board of Directors has determined that it does not presently need an audit committee financial expert on the Board of Directors to carry out the duties of the Audit Committee.  Pioneer’s Board of Directors has determined that the cost of hiring a financial expert to act as a director of Pioneer and to be a member of the Audit Committee or otherwise perform Audit Committee functions outweighs the benefits of having a financial expert on the Audit Committee.

(h)           Identification of Audit Committee

Pioneer does not have a separately-designated standing audit committee.  Rather, Pioneer’s entire board of directors perform the required functions of an audit committee.  Currently, Warren Robb and Thomas Brady are the only members of Pioneer’s audit committee, but they do not meet Pioneer’s independent requirements for an audit committee member.  See “Item 12. (c) Director independence” below for more information on independence.

 
Page - - 30

 
Pioneer’s audit committee is responsible for: (1) selection and oversight of Pioneer’s independent accountant; (2) establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal controls and auditing matters; (3) establishing procedures for the confidential, anonymous submission by Pioneer’s employees of concerns regarding accounting and auditing matters; (4) engaging outside advisors; and, (5) funding for the outside auditor and any outside advisors engaged by the audit committee.

As of August 31, 2009, Pioneer did not have a written audit committee charter or similar document.

(i)           Code of Ethics

Pioneer has adopted a financial code of ethics that applies to all its executive officers and employees, including its CEO and CFO.  See Exhibit 14 – Code of Ethics for more information.  Pioneer undertakes to provide any person with a copy of its financial code of ethics free of charge.  Please contact Pioneer at 604-618-0948 to request a copy of Pioneer’s financial code of ethics.  Management believes Pioneer’s financial code of ethics is reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct; provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in public reports; comply with applicable laws; ensure prompt internal reporting of code violations; and provide accountability for adherence to the code.

Item 11.  Executive Compensation.

Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

(a)           Transactions with Related Persons

Since the beginning of Pioneer’s last fiscal year, no director, executive officer, security holder, or any immediate family of such director, executive officer, or security holder has had any direct or indirect material interest in any transaction or currently proposed transaction, which Pioneer was or is to be a participant, that exceeded the lesser of (1) $120,000 or (2) one percent of the average of Pioneer’s total assets at year-end for the last three completed fiscal years, except for the following:

1.  
Donated Services and Rent

Warren Robb, Pioneer’s President, CEO, CFO and director, donated services to Pioneer that are recognized on its financial statements.  Also, Thomas Brady, Pioneer’s Corporate Secretary, Treasurer, and director, donated services and rent to Pioneer that are recognized on its financial statements.  From inception on June 9, 2005 to August 31, 2009, Pioneer recognized a total of $25,500 for donated services at a rate of $250 per month and $11,250 for donated rent at a rate of $250 per month.

(b)           Promoters and control persons

During the past five fiscal years, Warren Robb and Thomas Brady have been promoters of Pioneer’s business, but none of these promoters have received anything of value from Pioneer nor is any person entitled to receive anything of value from Pioneer for services provided as a promoter of the business of Pioneer.


 
Page - - 32

 
(c)           Director independence

Pioneer’s board of directors currently consists of Warren Robb and Thomas Brady.  Pursuant to Item 407(a)(1)(ii) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act, Pioneer’s board of directors has adopted the definition of “independent director” as set forth in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Manual.  In summary, an “independent director” means a person other than an executive officer or employee of Pioneer or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of Pioneer’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgement in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, and includes any director who accepted any compensation from Pioneer in excess of $200,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months with the three past fiscal years.  Also, the ownership of Pioneer’s stock will not preclude a director from being independent.

In applying this definition, Pioneer’s board of directors has determined that neither Mr. Robb nor Mr. Brady qualify as an “independent director” pursuant to Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Manual.

As of the date of the report, Pioneer did not maintain a separately designated compensation or nominating committee.
Pioneer has also adopted this definition for the independence of the members of its audit committee.  Warren Robb and Thomas Brady serve on Pioneer’s audit committee.  Pioneer’s board of directors has determined that neither Mr. Robb nor Mr. Brady is “independent” for purposes of Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Manual, applicable to audit, compensation and nominating committee members, and is “independent” for purposes of Section 10A(m)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act.

Item 14.  Principal Accounting Fees and Services

(1)  Audit Fees

The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for Pioneer’s audit of annual financial statements and for review of financial statements included in Pioneer’s Form 10-Q’s or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years was:
