A.
  Organization and Nature of Operations
 
   
 
  Alpha Petroleum Exploration Corporation (“Alpha” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of New York in 1968 and has been primarily inactive since 1988.
 
   
 
  In 1999, the Company formed a 100% owned subsidiary, Polo Energy Corporation (“Polo”). Polo’s business is the investment in oil and gas production.
 
   
 
  During 2001 its interest was adjusted to 55%.
 
   
 
  Alpha also owns a 77.5% interest in Alpha Technologies Associates “ATA”. ATA is a holding company which has interests in the following inactive businesses:
         
    PERCENT  
BUSINESS NAME   INTEREST  
Instant E-Commerce Corp.
    27%  
Help Set Communications Corp.
    27%  
     
 
  These investments are accounted for using the equity method.
 
   
 
  The Company owns 100% of Journey Entertainment Corp., also inactive.
 
   
B.
  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
   
 
  The financial statements of the Company are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. A summary of the more significant policies are presented below.
 
   
 
  Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
   
 
  The Company considers highly liquid investments, with a maturity of three months or less, when acquired, to be cash equivalents.
 
   
 
  Investments
 
   
 
  The Company’s subsidiary, Polo, owns a .170443% interest in Benex Oil and Gas Company, LLC representing a share in its KOI Chush #1 well in Atoka County, Oklahoma. The capital account at December 31, 2005 was $11,155, however, it is shown on the balance sheet net of an equivalent valuation allowance, due to the lack of revenue production from the well.

B.
  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
   
 
  Use of Estimates
 
   
 
  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
   
 
  Consolidation Policy
 
   
 
  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alpha and its majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Investments in companies in which the company has a 20% to 50% interest are carried at cost, adjusted for the Company’s proportionate share of their undistributed earnings or losses.
 
   
 
  Payments of expenses advanced by owners and interested parties are recorded as contributions of additional paid-in-capital.
 
   
 
  Earnings Per Share
 
   
 
  The Company has adopted SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, which established standards for computing and presenting both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”).
 
   
C.
  Going Concern issues and Plans for Reinstatement
 
   
 
  The Company has incurred significant losses from operations since its inception and has a working capital deficiency. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are as follows:
 
   
 
  The Company has begun to seek and identify companies which are capable of being market leaders in segments of the information technology industry and which are at a stage of development that would benefit from the Company’s business development and management support, financing, and market knowledge. The Company is investing in entities in which it can purchase a large enough stake to enable it to have significant influence over the management and policies of the company and to realize a large enough return to compensate it for its investment of management time and effort, as well as capital.

C.
  Going Concern issues and Plans for Reinstatement (continued)
 
   
 
  There are no known trends or known demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in the Company’s liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way. The Company’s proposed business activities are dependent upon a successful completion of a private placement offering. If a private placement offering cannot be completed, the Company will not be able to carry out its business plan.
 
   
 
  The Company has the following plans for the immediate future:
 
   
 
  Alpha Petroleum Exploration Corporation plans to enter the “Medical Area” and will seek out such companies or investments once it is in “compliance” with all relevant regulatory (including SEC) filings.
 
   
 
  Journey Entertainment Corporation, a 100% owned Subsidiary of Alpha, plans to assemble an information exchange website-cheap subscription and advertising. It is the plan for Alpha to spin-out the shares of Journey to the shareholders of Alpha in a Form 10 Registration.
 
   
 
  Alpha Technologies is 77.5% owned by Alpha — the balance of the shares are owned by a Finnish Technology individual. It is the Plan of Alpha to raise money through a private placement and attempt to find and to invest in certain Finnish technology companies that have a “world” market for their products and open offices in San Francisco and Finland. It is anticipated that a private placement will occur and the shares will be spun-out to the Alpha Shareholders.
 
   
 
  Polo Energy — a 55% owned Subsidiary — anticipates that once the Parent Company is fully in compliance with the SEC that it will enter into discussions with the shareholders of Bengalia Exploration Corporation which holds acreage where two wells have been drilled. Polo will discuss with those shareholders the merger of their Company into Polo and then a private placement to raise funds for the acquisition of acreage and the drilling of the “third well” on the block of acerage.
 
   
 
  Disclaimer — All of the above — contemplated transactions will only be commenced once Alpha is in full compliance with the SEC — under the 1933 Act and once those discussions are commenced there are no guarantees that any of the objectives stated above will be successfully brought to a closing.

D.
  Income Taxes
 
   
 
  Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
 
   
 
  Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require the establishment of a deferred tax asset for all deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry forwards. The Company has available at March 31, 2008, approximately $146,700 of unused operating loss carryforwards that may be applied against future taxable income and that expire in various years from 2007 to 2021. Because of the uncertainty that the Company will generate income in the future sufficient to fully or partially utilize these carry forwards, no current or deferred tax benefit nor deferred tax asset is reflected in these financial statements.
 
   
E.
  Shareholders’ Deficiency
 
   
 
  Loss per share of common stock is based on weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each period presented. The Company has 1,399,912 shares of common stock issued and outstanding at March 31, 2008.
 
   
 
  The Company has granted options to The Fiore, Fedeli & Snyder Firm, P.C. in connection with its efforts to assist the Company with certain accounting, reporting and tax issues.
