disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. All adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,

NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE
1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(Continued):
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
Income
tax
The
Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740. Under ASC 740 deferred
taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are
recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards
and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences.
Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a
valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than
not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in
tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Net income (loss) per
share
The net
income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the
weighted average number of shares of common outstanding. Warrants, stock
options, and common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Company's
preferred stock (if any), are not included in the computation if the effect
would be anti-dilutive and would increase the earnings or decrease loss per
share.
Financial
Instruments
The
carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash
equivalents and accrued payables, as reported in the accompanying balance sheet,
approximates fair value.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATION
The
following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should
be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in, Item 1 in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This item contains forward-looking statements
that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from
those indicated in such forward-looking statements.
Forward-Looking
Statements
This Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q and the documents incorporated herein by reference contain
forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based
on current expectations, estimates, and projections about our industry,
management beliefs, and certain assumptions made by our
management. Words such as “anticipates”, “expects”, “intends”,
“plans”, “believes”, “seeks”, “estimates”, variations of such words, and similar
expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking
statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance
and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are
difficult to predict; therefore, actual results may differ materially from those
expressed or forecasted in any such forward-looking
statements. Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to
update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events, or otherwise. However, readers should
carefully review the risk factors set forth herein and in other reports and
documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, particularly the Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly reports on
Form 10-Q and any Current Reports on Form 8-K.
Overview
and History
We are a
Colorado corporation. We were incorporated on August 31, 2006. Our
wholly-owned subsidiary was formed in September, 2005. Our proposed business is
to distill and market to the public a premium-priced potato vodka. We are a
holding company to Rocky Mountain Distilleries, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary,
which was incorporated in September, 2005 and is the actual operating company.
Both we and our subsidiary are headquartered in Monte Vista, Colorado. We
acquired the capital stock of Rocky Mountain Distilleries, Inc. in a tax-free
exchange under the Internal Revenue Code in September, 2006.
In June,
2007, we completed a registered offering of our common shares under the
provisions of the Colorado securities laws and under an exemption from the
federal securities laws. We sold a total of 181,000 common shares at a price of
$0.25 per share to a total of forty investors. We raised a total of $45,250 in
this offering.
We have
not been subject to any bankruptcy, receivership or similar
proceeding.
Our
address is 3230 Fall Creek Highway, Suite 206, Granbury Texas 76049. Our
telephone number is (817) 736-2900.
On
October 23, 2009, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated as of
October 20, 2009 (the “Closing”), with Brian
Leftwich, Steven Free, and Jack Minter (collectively, the “Buyers”) and Dana Hyde and
other sellers named therein (the “Sellers”), whereby the
Sellers sold an aggregate of 7,998,020 shares (the “Shares”) of our common stock,
par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), to the Buyers
for cash consideration in the net aggregate amount of $190,000 (“Transaction”). The Shares
include substantially all shares of Common Stock owned beneficially or of record
by the Sellers, or issuable upon the exercise, conversion, or exchange of
securities or obligations held by, or owed to, the Sellers.
As
a result of the Closing of the Transaction, Mr. Leftwich now owns 2,666,020
shares of our Common Stock representing 32.3% of the outstanding Common Stock on
a beneficial basis, and each of Messrs. Free and Minter now own 2,666,000 shares
of our Common Stock representing 32.3% of the outstanding Common Stock on a
beneficial basis.
Before
the Closing of the Transaction, the Board consisted of one member, Dana Hyde. In
connection with the Transaction and pursuant to the Agreement, the director
voted to expand the Board thereby creating one vacancy, to which vacancy Mr.
Leftwich was appointed upon Closing. Ms. Hyde resigned from all offices and
other positions with us.
-

Effective October 30, 2009, we placed
all of the common shares of our wholly owned subsidiary, Rocky Mountain
Distilleries, Inc., into a trust in anticipation of a spin off to our
shareholders of record as of October 19, 2009. The trustee has the authority to
complete the spin off to our shareholders as soon as an effective registration
statement with the SEC is in place for the transaction.
Results
of Operations
Revenue. We had no revenue for
the three months or six months ended December 31, 2009 and for the three months
or six months ended December 31, 2008.
Operating Expenses. We
incurred operating expenses of $-0- for the three months ended December 31, 2009
compared to operating expenses of $3,315 for the three months ended December 31,
2008. We incurred operating expenses of $-0- for the six months ended
December 31, 2009 compared to operating expenses of $7,272 for the six months
ended December 31, 2008.
Our
operating expenses are comprised solely of general and administrative expenses.
The primary components of general and administrative expenses are the expenses
of our corporate office, professional fees, general and administrative expenses.
The increase in operating expenses is directly related to the increase in
salaries during the relevant periods.
Gross Profit (Loss). We had no
gross profit for the three months or six months ended December 31, 2009 and for
the three months or six months ended December 31, 2008.
Net Loss. We incurred a net
loss of $-0- for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to a net loss
of $3,315 for the three months ended December 31, 2008. We incurred a net loss
of $-0- for the six months ended December 31, 2009 compared to a net loss of
$7,272 for the six months ended December 31, 2008.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
December 31, 2009, we had cash totaling $-0-. As of December 31, 2008, we had
cash totaling $3,493.
For the
six months ended December 31, 2009, we had net cash of $-0- provided or used for
operating activities, compared to $5,637 used for operating activities for the
six months ended December 31, 2008.
For the
six months ended December 31, 2009, we had net cash of $-0- provided or used for
investing activities, compared to $-0- provided or used for investing activities
for the six months ended December 31, 2008.
For the
six months ended December 31, 2009, we had net cash of $-0- provided or used by
financing activities, compared to $-0- provided or used by financing activities
for the six months ended December 31, 2008.
Over the next
twelve months our capital costs will be approximately $10,000 to $12,000
primarily to develop operations. We plan to buy office equipment to be used in
our operations. In the next three months, we plan to develop a relationship with
a contract distiller to begin distilling our potato vodka. At the present time,
we have no definitive agreement in place for any contract distiller. We do not
anticipate an extensive capital cost to develop this relationship. Eventually,
we want to distill our own vodka at our own distillery. However, we have no
definite plans to do so at this time and do not know what, if any, capital costs
would be involved for us.
We believe
that we have sufficient capital in the short term for our current level of
operations. This is because we believe that we can attract sufficient product
sales and services within our present organizational structure and resources to
become profitable in our operations. Additional resources would be needed to
expand into additional locations, which we have no plans to do at this time. We
do not anticipate needing to raise additional capital resources in the next
twelve months. In the event that we need additional capital, Mr. Leftwich has
agreed to loan such funds as may be necessary through December 31, 2010 for
working capital purposes.

Our principal
source of liquidity will be our operations. We expect variation in revenues to
account for the difference between a profit and a loss. Also business activity
is closely tied to the U.S. economy. Because we plan to market a vodka product,
a slow down in purchases of consumer goods could have a negative impact to our
business in the future. We have no idea to what extent this may affect us. In
any case, we try to operate with minimal overhead. Our primary activity will be
to seek to develop customers and, consequently, our sales. If we succeed in
developing customers for our vodka and generating sufficient sales, we will
become profitable. We cannot guarantee that this will ever occur. Our plan is to
build our company in any manner which will be successful.
Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements
We have
not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities in which we have
financial guarantees, subordinated retained interests, derivative instruments or
other contingent arrangements that expose us to material continuing risks,
contingent liabilities or any other obligations under a variable interest in an
unconsolidated entity that provides us with financing, liquidity, market risk or
credit risk support.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Our
discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are
based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us
to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, including those
related to provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventories,
valuation of intangible assets and contingencies and litigation. We base our
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.
The
accounting policies that we follow are set forth in Note 2 to our financial
statements as included in this prospectus. These accounting policies conform to
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and have been
consistently applied in the preparation of the financial
statements.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123R "Share Based Payment." This
statement is a revision of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and its related implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123R addresses all
forms of share based payment ("SBP") awards including shares issued under
employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock
appreciation rights. Under SFAS No. 123R, SBP awards result in a cost that will
be measured at fair value on the awards' grant date, based on the estimated
number of awards that are expected to vest. This statement is effective for
public entities that file as Registrants, as of the beginning of the first
interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. We
adopted this pronouncement during the first quarter of 2005.
In
December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets -
An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. The amendments made by SFAS No. 153 are
based on the principle that exchanges of non-monetary assets should be measured
based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments
eliminate the narrow exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive
assets and replace it with a broader exception for exchanges of non-monetary
assets that do not have "commercial substance." SFAS No. 153 is effective for
non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June
15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 153 on its effective date did not have a
material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In
December 2005, the FASB issued Financial Interpretation No. 47, "Accounting for
Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations - an Interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 143", which specifies the accounting treatment for obligations associated
with the sale or disposal of an asset when there are legal requirements
attendant to such a disposition. We adopted this pronouncement in 2005, as
required, but there was no impact as there are no legal obligations associated
with the future sale or disposal of any assets.
-
13 -
In May
2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections —
A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and SFAS Statement No. 3". SFAS No. 154
changes the requirements for the accounting and reporting of a change in
accounting principle by requiring retrospective application to prior periods'
financial statements of the change in accounting principle, unless it is
impracticable to do so. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and
corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We
do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 154 to have any impact on our
consolidated financial statements.

4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the
end of the period covered by this report, based on an evaluation of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a -15(e) and
15(d)-15(e) under the Exchange Act), our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief
Financial Officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are
effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our
Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the
applicable time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms.
There
were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred
during our most recent fiscal three months that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are
no legal proceedings, to which we are a party, which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating
results.
ITEM
1A. RISK FACTORS
You
should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the
other information in this document before deciding to invest in shares of our
common stock.
The
occurrence of any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect
our business, financial condition and operating result. In this case, the
trading price of our common stock could decline and you might lose all or part
of your investment.
We
have a limited operating history, have never been profitable, and may never be
profitable. We have a history of losses.
We were
formed as a Colorado business entity in August, 2006. Our wholly-owned
subsidiary was formed in September, 2005. At the present time, have a limited
operating history. There can be no guarantee that we will ever be
profitable. From our inception on September 26, 2005 through December 31,
2009, we have a history of losses.
-
14 -
Because
we had incurred operating losses from our inception, our accountants have
expressed doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.
For the
period ended June 30, 2009, our accountants have expressed doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our continued net losses.
Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is
dependent upon:
●
|
our
ability to begin active operations;
|
●
|
our
ability to locate clients who will purchase our vodka products;
and
|
●
|
our
ability to generate revenues.
|
Based
upon current plans, we may incur operating losses in future periods because we
may, from time to time, be incurring expenses but not generating sufficient
revenues. We expect approximately $50,000 in operating costs over the next
twelve months. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating
sufficient revenues or other funds in the future to cover these operating costs.
Failure to generate sufficient revenues will cause us to go out of
business.
We
have a lack of liquidity and will need additional financing in the future.
Additional financing may not be available when needed, which could delay our
development or indefinitely postponed.
We are
only minimally capitalized. Because we are only minimally capitalized, we expect
to experience a lack of liquidity for the foreseeable future in our proposed
operations. We will adjust our expenses as necessary to prevent cash flow or
liquidity problems. However, we expect we will need additional financing of some
type, which we do not now possess, to fully develop our operations. We expect to
rely principally upon our ability to raise additional financing, the success of
which cannot be guaranteed. We will look at both equity and debt financing,
including loans from our principal shareholder. However, at the present time, we
have no definitive plans for financing in place, other than the funds which may
be loaned to us by Mr. Leftwich, our President. In the event that we need
additional capital, Mr. Leftwich has agreed to loan such funds as may be
necessary through December 31, 2010 for working capital purposes. To the extent
that we experience a substantial lack of liquidity, our development in
accordance with our proposed plan may be delayed or indefinitely postponed, our
operations could be impaired, we may never become profitable, fail as an
organization, and our investors could lose some or all of their
investment.
As
a company with limited operating history, we are inherently a risky
investment.
We have
limited operating history. Because we are a company with limited history, the
operations in which we engage in, to distill and market to the public a
premium-priced potato vodka, is an extremely risky business. An investor could
lose his entire investment.
Our
operations are subject to our ability to successfully market our products. We
have no substantial history of being able to successfully market our
products.
Our
operations will depend, among other things, upon our ability to develop and to
market our vodka product for sale to consumers. Further, there is the
possibility that our operations will not generate income sufficient to meet
operating expenses or will generate income and capital appreciation, if any, at
rates lower than those anticipated or necessary to sustain the investment. An
investor could lose his entire investment.
There
are factors beyond our control which may adversely affect us.
Our
operations may also be affected by factors which are beyond our control,
principally general market conditions and changing consumer
tastes. Any of these problems, or a combination thereof, could have
affect on our viability as an entity. We may never become profitable, fail as an
organization, and our investors could lose some or all of their
investment.
-
15 -
Intense
competition in our market could prevent us from developing revenue and prevent
us from achieving annual profitability. In either situation, we may never become
profitable, fail as an organization, and our investors could lose some or all of
their investment.
We plan
to distill and market to the public a premium-priced potato vodka. While the
barriers to entry are significant, more importantly, it is necessary to gain a
share of the potato vodka market. The barriers to gaining a market share are
significant. We face strong competitors in all areas of our business. All
aspects of our business are highly competitive. All of our competitors are
larger than us and have greater financial resources than we do. All of our
competitors have substantially greater experience distilling and marketing to
the public premium-priced vodka, including potato vodka. Competition with these
companies could curtail price increases or could require price reductions or
significant spending on marketing and sales, any of which could adversely affect
our results of operations. Competition from larger and more established
companies is a significant threat and is expected to increase.
Our
products could be rendered noncompetitive or obsolete. Any competition may cause
us to fail to gain or to lose market share, which could result in reduced
margins for our products. Competitive pressures may not only impair our margins
but may also impact our revenues and our growth.
We currently have no suppliers or
third party distillery contracts and may never acquire any suppliers or third
party contracts.
We
currently have no contracts with any suppliers or third party distilleries for
the production of our product. We may never acquire either suppliers or third
party distilleries, either of which could cause our business to
fail.
Fluctuations
in the supply and prices of raw materials could negatively impact our
financial results.
Under
normal market conditions, raw materials for our proposed product are generally
available on the open market. From time to time, however, the prices and
availability of these raw materials may fluctuate significantly, which could
impair our ability to procure necessary products, or increase the cost of our
product. If material costs increase, and we are unable to pass along, or are
delayed in passing along, those increases to our customers, we will experience
reductions to our profit margins and our ability to generate a profit will be
reduced or eliminated completely.
Our
success will be dependent upon our management’s efforts. We cannot sustain
profitability without the efforts of our management.
Our
success will be dependent upon the decision making of our directors and
executive officers. These individuals intend to commit as much time as necessary
to our business, but this commitment is no assurance of success. The loss of any
or all of these individuals, particularly Ms. Dana Hyde our President, could
have a material, adverse impact on our operations. We have no written employment
agreements with any officers and directors, including Mr. Leftwich. We have not
obtained key man life insurance on the lives of any of our officers or
directors.
Our
stock has a limited public trading market and there is no guarantee a trading
market will ever develop for our securities.
There has
been, and continues to be, a limited public market for our common stock. We
trade on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the trading symbol GSPS.OB.
An active trading market for our shares has not, and may never
develop or be sustained. If you purchase shares of common stock, you may not be
able to resell those shares at or above the initial price you paid. The market
price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous
factors, some of which are beyond our control, including the
following:
-
16 -
*
|
actual
or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;
|
*
|
changes
in financial estimates by securities analysts or our failure to perform in
line with such estimates;
|
*
|
changes
in market valuations of other companies, particularly those that market
services such as ours;
|
*
|
announcements
by us or our competitors of significant
innovations, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint
ventures or capital commitments;
|
*
|
introduction
of product enhancements that reduce the need for our
products;
|
*
|
departures
of key personnel.
|
Of our
total outstanding shares as of December 31, 2009, a total of 8,067,020, or
approximately 98%, will be restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into
the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of our common
stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.
As
restrictions on resale end, the market price of our stock could drop
significantly if the holders of restricted shares sell them or are perceived by
the market as intending to sell them.
Applicable
SEC rules governing the trading of “Penny Stocks” limit the liquidity of our
common stock, which may affect the trading price of our common
stock.
Our
common stock is currently not quoted on in any market. If our common stock
becomes quoted, we anticipate that it will trade well below $5.00 per share. As
a result, our common stock is considered a “penny stock” and is subject to SEC
rules and regulations that impose limitations upon the manner in which our
shares can be publicly traded. These regulations require the
delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure
schedule explaining the penny stock and the associated risks. Under
these regulations, certain brokers who recommend such securities to persons
other than established customers or certain accredited investors must make a
special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the
written purchaser’s agreement to a transaction prior to
purchase. These regulations have the effect of limiting the trading
activity of our common stock and reducing the liquidity of an investment in our
common stock.
The
over-the-counter market for stock such as ours is subject to extreme price and
volume fluctuations.
The
securities of companies such as ours have historically experienced extreme price
and volume fluctuations during certain periods. These broad market fluctuations
and other factors, such as new product developments and trends in the our
industry and in the investment markets generally, as well as economic conditions
and quarterly variations in our operational results, may have a negative effect
on the market price of our common stock.
Buying
low-priced penny stocks is very risky and speculative.
The
shares being offered are defined as a penny stock under the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, and rules of the Commission. The Exchange Act and such
penny stock rules generally impose additional sales practice and disclosure
requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than
certain accredited investors who are, generally, institutions with assets in
excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or
annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 jointly with spouse, or in
transactions not recommended by the broker-dealer. For transactions covered by
the penny stock rules, a broker-dealer must make a suitability determination for
each purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement prior to the sale.
In addition, the broker-dealer must make certain mandated disclosures in penny
stock transactions, including the actual sale or purchase price and actual bid
and offer quotations, the compensation to be received by the broker-dealer and
certain associated persons, and deliver certain disclosures required by the
Commission. Consequently, the penny stock rules may affect the ability of
broker-dealers to make a market in or trade our common stock and may also affect
your ability to resell any shares you may purchase in the public
markets.

We
do not expect to pay dividends on common stock.
We have
not paid any cash dividends with respect to our common stock, and it is unlikely
that we will pay any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
Earnings, if any, that we may realize will be retained in the business for
further development and expansion.
