FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This Annual Report on Form 10-K (this “Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  Such statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “likely,” “believe,” “intend,”  “expect,” or similar words.  These statements relate to our, and, in some cases, our clients’ or business partners’ future plans, objectives, expectations, intentions and financial performance and the assumptions that underlie these statements.  All forward-looking statements included in this Report are made as of the date hereof, based on information available to us as of such date, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.  It is important to note that such statements may not prove to be accurate and that our actual results and future events will differ, and could differ materially, from those anticipated in such statements.  Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations are those described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”  You are also encouraged to review our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) describing other factors that may affect our future results.  All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this section and other factors included elsewhere in this Report.
 
We effected a 200:1 consolidation (or reverse split) of our Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock on January 6, 2011;  all share and per share amounts in this Report have been adjusted to reflect the 200:1 consolidation.
 

 
PART I

Item 1.  Business.

Overview

Ideal Financial Solutions, Inc. (“we”, “us”, the “Company” or “Ideal”) provides a suite of online, subscription–based software solutions for debt elimination, cash management, bill payment and wealth creation.  In addition, these programs come with debt reduction coaching and customer service.

Our principal product is our Cashflow Management Tool, which has two components.  The principal component subscribed for by most customers is a debt management and reduction software called iDebtManager. iDebtManager is a web-based application used by customers to organize a debt payment plan.  The second add-on component is called iBillManager, which interfaces with a third-party, electronic bill-payment system called Metavante (recently acquired by Fidelity), which uses electronic debit transactions to automate all bill payments for customers.

Our iDebtManager and iBillManager provide the online tools that make financial success a reality by making it automatic. iDebtManager automates the way consumers receive and pay bills to effectively accelerate the elimination of all non-asset building debt and manage cash flow.  iBillManager provides discipline, structure, convenience and controlled automation of transactional financial management.  Together, iBillManager and iDebtManager provide seamless automation of Ideal’s core Cashflow Management Tool.

After customers complete their personalized CashFlow Analysis, their plan results are automatically downloaded into an online iDebtManager Account.  Each month their iDebtManager Account provides an updated description of all payments required to maximize their CashFlow Management Plan.  With easy online access, customers can add or delete creditors from their plan at anytime.

Market Opportunity
 
Statistics published by the Federal Reserve as of December 31, 2010 indicate that the total amount of consumer debt outstanding remained fairly steady in 2010, at nearly $2.4 trillion dollars.   According to the Federal Reserve’s G.19 report on consumer credit, as of March 2010 roughly 36%, or $852.6 billion, of this consumer debt was revolving credit, which is credit that is repeatedly available as periodic repayments are made. The most common type of revolving credit is credit card debt.  
 
Following the recent economic downturn, this debt load has forced many Americans into bankruptcy.  According to a August 17, 2010 news release by the U.S. Courts, there were 1,572,597 bankruptcy filings in the one-year period ended June 30, 2010, up 20 percent over the prior year.

With job growth expected to be slow coming out of this recession and debt remaining high, we anticipate that many people will be seeking assistance managing their existing debt, and avoiding unnecessary additional debt.  Our mission and business is to provide consumers with solutions to help eliminate existing debt and strategies to avoid unnecessary debt in the future.
 
Marketing and Distribution

We partner with online marketing companies and drive direct traffic through Google Adwords, email marketing and other cost per acquisition (CPA) campaigns that provide leads and customers. Customers are directed to our club websites such as www.ibuildwealthclub.com, with services being fulfilled through our online club site and call centers.

We primarily distribute our products and services through our website and through direct mail compact discs.

Competition
  
We are in the business of providing software-based debt management, bill payment and financial management solutions.  We believe that our principal competitors include mint.com, youneedabudget.com and mvelopes.com.   We also compete to some extent with numerous nonprofit or for-profit debt consolidation services as well as financial advisers.  The market for our products and services is highly competitive.  Especially in light of the recent recession and slow recovery in the job market, the debt management business is evolving and growing, and companies are continually introducing new products and services.
 
We compete with other software-based solutions on the features and effectiveness of our product offerings, price, customer service, name recognition and the effectiveness of our automatic bill payments system. Our relative strengths and weaknesses vary on a competitor-by-competitor basis. In general, our relative strengths include the ease of use and effectiveness of our automatic bill payment system, and our relative weaknesses include our lack of name recognition in the market place.

Many of our existing and potential competitors have longer operating histories, greater financial strength and more recognized brands in the industry. These competitors may be able to attract customers more easily because of their financial resources and awareness in the market. Our larger competitors can also devote substantially more resources to business development and may adopt more aggressive pricing policies.  To compete with these companies, we rely primarily on Internet marketing including pay-per click advertising on Google, email marketing, search engine optimization and strategic marketing partners.

Dependence on a Concentrated Number of Customers
 
We have many thousands of individual customers and are not reliant upon any single customer or group of major customers.  During our most recent fiscal year, no customer  accounted for more than 1% of our revenue.
 
Towards the end of 2010, we entered into agreements with companies who pay Ideal for access to our club software and customer service.  They, in turn, market and provide club membership to their customers.  Our dependence on client companies creates a risk that the termination of such relationship will lead to a significant reduction in revenues and revenue growth.
   
Intellectual Property

Proprietary Intellectual Property.  None of our products or services is subject to any patents, patent applications or registered copyrights.  We believe that our primary software application, Cashflow Management Tool, is protected by common law copyrights; however, to protect our Cashflow Management Tool software and other innovations, we rely principally on trade secret and contract law in the United States to protect our proprietary rights. We generally enter into confidentiality agreements, “work-made-for-hire” contracts and intellectual property licenses with our employees, consultants and corporate partners, respectively, as part of our efforts to control access to and distribution of our technologies, content and other proprietary information.  We also do not grant to our customers rights to access our software source code. These agreements and our policies are intended to protect our intellectual property, but we cannot assure that these agreements or the other steps we have taken to protect our intellectual property will be sufficient to prevent theft, unauthorized use or unauthorized disclosure. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights from unauthorized use or disclosure, our efforts may not be sufficient or successful. It may be possible that some of our innovations may not be protectable. If third parties were to use or otherwise misappropriate our source code, other copyright materials, trademarks, service marks or other proprietary rights without our consent or approval, our competitive position could be harmed, or we could become involved in costly and distracting litigation to enforce our rights.

We have not registered any trademarks with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or filed any application for the registration of the trademarks.
 
Licensed Intellectual Property.  The iBillManager component of our Cashflow Management Tool interfaces with a third-party, electronic bill-payment system licensed from Metavante; Metavante was recently acquired by Fidelity.  The services agreement pursuant to which we offer iBillManager is subject to termination by either party upon 90 days advanced notice at the end of each annual renewal of the agreement.  If Metavante were to terminate, or decline to renew, such agreement, we believe that we could identify a suitable replacement service; however, we may not be able to acquire and integrate such replacement service on a timely basis and such service may not include identical features and may have less favorable pricing.
 
Government Regulation
  
Other than business license requirements, laws and regulations applicable to substantially all entities in the jurisdictions in which we operate, we do not need any material government approvals in connection with our businesses and are not subject to material government regulation.

Research and Development

The Company spent $0 on research and development during 2010 and $3,000 on research and development during 2009, none of which was funded by customers.

Environmental Laws

We do not use hazardous substances in our operations and have not incurred, and do not expect to incur, material costs associated with compliance with environmental laws at the federal, state and local levels.

Employees

The Company employs 18 full-time employees, of which 8 work in management, 7 are customer service agents and three are administrative.  The Company has one part-time, administrative employee.


Item 1A.  Risk Factors.

Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, and all of the other information set forth in this Report before deciding to invest in shares of our Common Stock.  In addition to historical information, the information in this Report contains forward-looking statements about our future business and performance.  Our actual operating results and financial performance may be different from what we expect as of the date of this Report.  The risks described in this Report represent the risks that management has identified and determined to be material to our company.  Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, may also materially harm our business operations and financial condition.

Our accountants have included an explanatory paragraph in our annual audited financial statements regarding our status as a going concern.
    
Our financial statements included in the Report have been prepared on the assumption that we will continue as a going concern.  Our independent registered public accounting firm has stated that it substantially doubts our ability to continue as a going concern in a report dated as of March 25, 2011. This doubt is based on the fact that, as of December 31, 2010, we had a stockholders’ deficit of $1,186,874, and current liabilities exceeded current assets by $1,220,616. In addition, during the second quarter of 2010, we incurred a charge of approximately $1,000,000 for alleged credit card fines and penalties incurred in excess of the reserves held by a merchant.
       
Our operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past and will continue to fluctuate in the future, which could cause our stock price to decline.

Our operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past, and we believe that they will continue to fluctuate in the future, due to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control.  Factors that may affect our operating results include the following:

 
additions and losses of customers;
 
additions or losses of marketing and referral partners, or changes in the number or quality of clients referred by continuing marketing and referral partners;
 
our ability to enhance our services and products with new and better functionality;
 
costs associated with obtaining new customers, improving our products and expanding our management team and number of advisors;
 
new product announcements or introductions or changes in pricing by our competitors;
 
technology and intellectual property issues associated with our products; and
 
general economic trends, including the level of concern by the general public about debt and debt reduction.
  
If in future periods our operating results do not meet the expectations of investors, our Common Stock price may fall.

We may be unable to raise capital needed to pay current liabilities or for operations going forward or may be required to pay a high price for capital.  Due to our large working capital deficit of $1,220,616, we may not have enough capital to fund operations.
 
As of December 31, 2010, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by $1,220,616.  We may need as much as $1 million from operations or financing in order to pay obligations and continue operations.  We also expect our general and operating expenses to increase by approximately $150,000 in 2011 as we become subject to the public company reporting requirements, and we expect that amount to increase significantly in late 2011 as we become subject to certain internal control requirements.
 
If cash generated from operations does not increase, or we experience unexpected increases in expenses, we will likely need to raise additional capital.  We may not be able to raise the additional capital needed or may be required to pay a high price for capital.  Factors affecting the availability and price of capital may include the following:

 
the availability and cost of capital generally;
 
our financial results;
 
the experience and reputation of our management team;
 
market interest, or lack of interest, in our industry and business plan;
 
the price and trading volume of, and volatility in, the market for our Common Stock;
 
our ongoing success, or failure, in executing our business plan;
 
the amount of our capital needs; and
 
the amount of debt, options, warrants and convertible securities we have outstanding.

We may be unable to meet our current or future obligations or to adequately exploit existing or future opportunities if we cannot raise sufficient capital, which in the long run may lead to a contraction of our business and losses.
  
We are dependent on a concentrated number of referral sources, and a material reduction of new referrals from any of our significant referral sources would harm our financial results.  Our relationship with our most significant lead provider in 2009 was terminated in 2009, and a separate relationship that accounted for over 25% of our revenue in 2010 was terminated in the second quarter of 2010.
 
Historically, a significant portion of our revenues has been referred through a limited number of lead providers.   In August 2009, our relationship with a lead provider that had referred to us customers accounting for 83% of our new client revenue during the first eight months of 2009 terminated.   In April, 2010, our relationship with a lead provider that had referred to us customers accounting for over 90% of our new client revenue in the first quarter of 2010 (and 25% of overall revenue in 2010) was terminated.   On average, we lose approximately 20% of our new customers per month and retain only about 20% of new customers longer than five months.

 
5

 
  
We have had agreements with other lead providers upon which we may become substantially dependent upon in the future.  Our relationships with lead providers have historically been unstable and, as a result, our revenue may increase or decrease significantly from period-to-period as a result of the addition or loss of a significant lead provider.  Our dependence on third-party referral sources for new customers creates a risk that the termination of such relationship will lead to a significant reduction in revenues and revenue growth.
 
In addition, we received a demand letter in November 2010 that we reimburse a credit card processing company for a $1,000,000 fine arising from an excessive number of credit card charge-backs to VISA resulting in part from a failure of a lead provider to utilize terms and conditions in an agreed-upon format.  We have taken subsequent steps to reduce the risk of similar events in the future; nevertheless, there remains a risk that we will again have relationships with lead providers who do not use agreed-upon terms and conditions or otherwise take steps that lead to increases in the number of customers seeking refunds. This would lead to a large number of charge-backs and likely harm our reputation in the market place, relationship with credit card processors and others and lead to substantial write-offs and fines.
 
We may be required to reimburse credit card processors for fines imposed by VISA and other companies.
 
Historically, most of our revenues have come from online subscriptions involving monthly credit card payments.   To process these payments, we have been dependent upon a number of credit card processing companies, who in turn, have relationships with VISA, MasterCard and other credit card companies.  

Online subscriptions to our services mainly come from potential customers seeing an offer for our services on the websites of third-party vendors, referred to as lead providers. The websites contain a description of our services, the terms and conditions of our agreement with the customer, the customer’s agreement with those terms and conditions by a click on the website and a link to a credit card payment web page.

Following the first quarter of 2010, we incurred a high volume of charge-backs on credit card transactions.   We determined that this was caused by one particular lead provider having omitted our customer service contact information and telephone number from the terms and conditions of our agreement on their website.  Without this customer service telephone number, customers, who normally would have contacted us and requested a refund, instead were left with no option other than to contact their bank to request a charge back to their credit card. Upon identifying this problem, we immediately terminated our relationship with this lead provider. 

As a result of the high number of chargebacks, a key credit card processor increased its minimum merchant reserve levels in the second quarter of 2010 and eventually terminated its processing relationship with us.  Following the second quarter of 2010, we learned that VISA had charged the credit card processor with a $1,000,000 fine associated with these chargebacks, which fine the credit card processor allegedly paid and for which it is seeking indemnification from us.   Our agreements with this processor and other processors may be read to require us to reimburse the credit card processor for such fines, without any opportunity to intercede with VISA or otherwise defend against the claims.  The $1,000,000 fine already claimed has significantly harmed our profitability and liquidity in the near term.   Additional fines, particularly if substantial in size, would limit our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
Our capacity to process revenue has been constrained as a result of the loss of a credit card processor relationship and may be subject to additional constraints.
 
Historically, most of our revenues came from online subscriptions involving monthly credit card payments. To process these payments, we have been dependent upon a number of credit card processing companies, who in turn, have relationships with VISA, MasterCard and other credit card companies. For reasons described in the previous paragraph, a credit card processor on which we were substantially dependent terminated its relationship with us. As a result of the loss of a major processor, we have experienced a reduction in our capacity to process credit card transactions, which will limit our ability to maintain and expand revenues in the near future. For this and other reasons, we have been forced to use alternative forms of electronic transactions suitable for online business such as eCheck, ACH and Check21. Such transactions, if unavailable, will limit our ability to maintain and expand revenues and meet our obligations.

If we fail to differentiate ourselves in the marketplace and develop our brand recognition or otherwise compete, our revenues and profitability will be impaired.

We are in the business of providing software-based debt management, bill payment and financial management solutions.  We believe that our principal competitors include mint.com, youneedabudget.com and mvelopes.com.   We also compete to some extent with numerous nonprofit or for-profit debt consolidation services as well as financial advisers.  The market for our products and services is highly competitive.  Especially in light of the recent recession, the debt management business is evolving and growing rapidly, and companies are continually introducing new products and services.

We compete with other software-based solutions on the features and effectiveness of our product offerings, price, customer service and the effectiveness of our automatic bill payments system. In general, our primary weakness is our lack of name recognition in the market place.   Many of our existing and potential competitors have longer operating histories, greater financial strength and more recognized brands in the industry. These competitors may be able to attract customers more easily because of their financial resources and awareness in the market. Our larger competitors can also devote substantially more resources to business development and may adopt more aggressive pricing policies.  The profitability of our business depends upon our continuing to attract new customers, while retaining existing subscribers.  If we are unable to strengthen our brand, differentiate ourselves in the marketplace and otherwise compete with the numerous competitors in our market place, our growth may slow and/or we may begin contracting and experiencing net losses.

Our business has benefitted from the recent economic downturn and may be harmed by a recovery.

The recent recession, together with the tightening of lending standards, caused many consumers to experience cash flow difficulties and become more aware of the risks of significant borrowing.  These negative economic experiences, and a general interest in debt reduction and conservative cash flow management, have led to significant growth in our business over the last two years.  As the U.S. economy recovers, consumers may lose interest in cash management and reduction of debt, which could lead to slower growth in customers and even an overall net loss in the number of customers.  If this occurs, we will likely experience decreasing revenues and increasing net losses.

Even if the U.S. economy does not recover in the short-term we may experience a loss in customer base because people who are unemployed or initiate bankruptcy protection typically do not use our services.   This would also result in decreasing revenues and increasing net losses.

We are dependent on a third party to provide certain software that is integral to our iBillManager offering.

The iBillManager component of our Cashflow Management Tool interfaces with a third-party, electronic bill-payment system licensed from Metavante (acquired by Fidelity in 2009). The services agreement pursuant to which we offer iBillManager is subject to termination by either party upon 90 days advanced notice at the end of each annual renewal of the agreement. Without such services, we may not be able to continue to offer the iBillManager portion of our Cash Management Tool, which may disrupt our service, lead to the loss of customers and harm our business.

Our operations are subject to potential disruption from system failure and security risks that could lead to a loss of customers and harm our business.
     
Our Cash Management Tool runs on our Internet website, rather than customers’ computers, and is utilized by our customers through the Internet.   Our ability to operate is dependent upon our ability to protect our website and network against interruptions, damages and other events that may harm our ability to provide services to our customers on a short-term or long-term basis and may lead to lawsuits, customer losses, liabilities and harm to our reputation. We may not have in place adequate quality assurance procedures or may fail to detect inadequacies until problems arise. If we are unable to identify problems on a timely basis, we could experience a loss of revenues and market share, damage to our reputation, increased expenses and legal actions by our customers.

 Interruptions in service, transmissions of viruses and other problems arising from one of, or a combination of, a natural disaster, power outage, unauthorized access, computer virus, equipment, software or system failure or other disruption could result in, among other things, significant repair and recovery expenses and extensive customer losses and otherwise lead to a decrease of revenues, increase in expenses or adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 
In addition, financial and other personal information of our customers resides on servers we control.  Despite precautions, unauthorized third parties may gain access to our customers’ personal and financial information as a result of lapses in security measures implemented by our Internet provider or by our company, or as a result of an intentional wrongdoing by employees of our company.  If such unauthorized access occurs, the consequences to us and our business would be severe.  These may include, for example, lawsuits by customers, expenses associated with required and recommended remedial action, legal or other action by governments and loss of reputation and customers, any of which would harm our business and financial condition.
  
We intend to expand our operations and increase our expenditures in an effort to grow our business. If we are unable to achieve or manage significant growth and expansion, operating results will suffer.

In order to successfully implement our business strategy, we must achieve substantial growth in our customer base through additional sales.  We may not achieve such growth, despite significant expenditures for marketing. If achieved, significant growth would place increased demands on our management, accounting systems, infrastructure and systems of financial and internal controls.  Rapid growth would also require an increase in the capacity, efficiency and accuracy of our billing and customer support systems. This would require an increase in the number of our personnel, particularly within customer service and technical support. Because of competition for employees and difficulties inherent in hiring, retaining and training large numbers of service and support personnel in a short period of time, we may be short staffed at times or be staffed with relatively inexperienced personnel. Our labor, administrative, professional fees and other costs may also increase. Any failure to expand our technical and personnel infrastructure with our business could lead to a decline in the quality of our sales, marketing, service, or other aspects of our business and lead to a long-term decline in revenue.

If we are unable to keep up with evolving industry standards and changing user needs, our business is likely to suffer, and we may need to deploy significant company resources to keep up with evolving industry standards and changing user needs.
 
The products in our cash flow management, debt payment and other markets are continuously evolving as technology and customer expectations evolve.  As our customers’ expectations and industry standards continue to evolve, our success will depend, in part, on our ability to timely and accurately identify emerging trends and to modify our offerings accordingly. We may be unable to modify our proprietary technology, obtain licenses for key third-party technologies or integrate technologies rapidly and efficiently enough to keep pace with emerging trends. We may fail to identify and invest in technologies that subsequently dominate the industry, and we may build our offerings around, and invest in, technologies that fail to achieve a substantial foothold in the industry. In addition, new industry standards or technologies could render our services obsolete and unmarketable or require substantial reduction in the fees we charge. Any failure on our part to properly identify, invest in and adopt new technologies that subsequently achieve market acceptance in a timely and cost effective manner could lead to a substantial reduction in our market share, a reduction in our revenue and an increase in our operating costs. Any such decrease in revenues, or increase in costs, would harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Third party claims that we infringe upon their intellectual property rights could be costly to defend or settle and could harm our business and reputation.

Litigation regarding intellectual property rights is common in the software industry. Cash flow and debt management software products and services may be increasingly subject to third-party infringement claims as the number of competitors in our industry segment grows and the functionality of products in different industry segments overlaps. We may from time to time encounter disputes over rights and obligations concerning intellectual property that we developed ourselves or that we license from third parties. Third parties may bring claims of infringement against us, or against others from whom we license intellectual property, which may be with or without merit. We could be required, as a result of an intellectual property dispute, to do one or more of the following:

 
cease making, selling, incorporating or using products or services that rely upon the disputed intellectual property;
 
obtain from the holder of the intellectual property right a license to make, sell or use the disputed intellectual property, which license may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all;
 
redesign products or services that incorporate disputed intellectual property;
 
pay monetary damages to the holder of the intellectual property right; and
 
spend significant amounts of time and money defending such a dispute.

The occurrence of any of these events could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources or could severely limit the products and services we can offer, or delay the delivery of products and services, which could seriously harm our business, operating results, reputation and financial condition.

If our protection of our intellectual property is inadequate, our competitors may gain access to our technology, our competitive position could be harmed, we could be required to incur expenses to enforce our rights, and our business may suffer.
We depend on our ability to develop and maintain the proprietary aspects of our technology.  We do not own any patents, copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property registrations.  We seek to protect our trade secrets and other proprietary information through a combination of contractual provisions, confidentiality procedures, and common law copyright and trademark principles, but these actions may be inadequate. Protection of our intellectual property is subject to many risks, including the following: 

 
we have not applied for copyright registrations with respect to our proprietary rights in our core Cashflow Management Tool or related methods or ideas, and common law rights associated with copyrights and trade secrets afford only limited protection;
 
our claims of proprietary ownership (and related common law copyright assertions) may be challenged or otherwise fail to provide us with the ability to prevent others from copying our technology;
 
despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or to obtain and use information we regard as proprietary;
 
confidentiality may be compromised intentionally or accidentally by contractors, customers, other third parties or our employees; and
 
others may develop independently equivalent or superior technology or intellectual property rights.

We are dependent upon key personnel who may leave at any time and may be unable to attract qualified personnel in the future, which could harm our anticipated growth, implementation of current business plans and may impair our financial performance.

We are highly dependent upon the continued services of our senior management team. We are constantly evaluating our executive and management resources. To the extent our executive officers and managers are parties to employment agreements, such agreements are terminable at will by such employees. If one or more of our executives or senior managers were to leave, particularly if several were to leave within a short period of time, we may experience a significant disruption in our ability to attract and retain customers, maintain and update our product offerings, and complete significant transactions in a timely and competent manner. In addition, we may be unable to recruit competent replacement personnel on a timely basis. The loss of the services of key executive or management personnel could harm our ability to execute our business plan and may impair our financial performance.

Compliance with corporate governance and public disclosure requirements may result in additional expenses.

We are subject to the reporting and other requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  The requirements include, without limitation, the obligation to file annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC, to have in place certain controls and procedures and other obligations.   Compliance with our disclosure and other obligations may consume a large amount of management attention and require significantly increased expenditures on legal, accounting and other services.  This may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities.  Registration under the Securities Exchange Act also makes us subject to certain liability provisions, which may create additional avenues for shareholders and regulators to make claims against the company.

Our directors, executive officers and principal stockholders have effective control of the company, preventing non-affiliate stockholders from significantly influencing our direction and future.

Our directors, officers, and 5% stockholders and their affiliates control approximately 65% of our outstanding shares of voting stock and are expected to continue to control a majority of our outstanding voting stock following any financing transactions projected for the foreseeable future.  These directors, officers and affiliates effectively control all matters requiring approval by the stockholders, including any determination with respect to the acquisition or disposition of assets, future issuances of securities, declarations of dividends and the election of directors.  This concentration of ownership may also delay, defer or prevent a change in control and otherwise prevent stockholders other than our affiliates from influencing our direction and future.

There is a public market for our stock, but it is thin and subject to manipulation.

The volume of trading in our Common Stock is limited and can be dominated by a few individuals.  In addition, many brokerages are refusing to trade in, or implement substantial restrictions on trading in, stock reported on the Pink Sheets.  The limited volume, and trading restrictions, can make the price of our Common Stock subject to manipulation by one or more stockholders and will significantly limit the number of shares that one can purchase or sell in a short period of time.  An investor may find it difficult to dispose of shares of our Common Stock or obtain a fair price for our Common Stock in the market.

The market price of our Common Stock may be harmed by our need to raise capital.

We need to raise additional capital in the near future and expect to raise such capital through the issuance of Common Stock and other rights with respect to Common Stock.  Because securities in private placements and other transactions by a company are often sold at a discount to market prices, this need to raise additional capital may harm the market price of our Common Stock.   In addition, the re-sale of securities issued in such capital-raising transactions, whether under Rule 144 or otherwise, may harm the market price of our Common Stock.

The market price for our Common Stock is volatile and may change dramatically at any time.

The market price of our Common Stock, like that of the securities of other smaller companies, is highly volatile.  Our stock price may change dramatically as the result of announcements of our quarterly results, the rate of our expansion, significant litigation or other factors or events that would be expected to affect our business or financial condition, results of operations and other factors specific to our business and future prospects.  In addition, the market price for our Common Stock may be affected by various factors not directly related to our business, including the following:

 
intentional manipulation of our stock price by existing or future stockholders;
 
short selling of our Common Stock or related derivative securities;
 
a single acquisition or disposition, or several related acquisitions or dispositions, of a large number of our shares;
 
the interest, or lack of interest, of the market in our business sector, without regard to our financial condition or results of operations;
 
the adoption of governmental regulations and similar developments in the United States or abroad that may affect our ability to offer our products and services or affect our cost structure; and
 
economic and other external market factors, such as a general decline in market prices due to poor economic indicators or investor distrust.
 
 Our ability to issue Preferred Stock and Common Stock may significantly dilute ownership and voting power, negatively affect the price of our Common Stock and inhibit hostile takeovers.

Under our Articles of Incorporation, we are authorized to issue up to 10 million shares of Preferred Stock and 160 million shares of Common Stock without seeking stockholder approval. Any issuance of such Preferred Stock or Common Stock would dilute the ownership and voting power of existing holders of our Common Stock and may have a negative effect on the price of our Common Stock. The issuance of Preferred Stock without stockholder approval may also be used by management to stop or delay a change of control, or might discourage third parties from seeking a change of control of our company, even though some stockholders or potential investors may view possible takeover attempts as potentially beneficial to our stockholders.

We are unlikely to pay dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

We have never declared or paid dividends on our stock.  We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business.  We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, and it is unlikely that investors will derive any current income from ownership of our stock.  This means that your potential for economic gain from ownership of our stock depends on appreciation of our stock price and will only be realized by a sale of the stock at a price higher than your purchase price.

Our Common Stock is a “low-priced stock” and subject to regulations that limits or restricts the potential market for our stock.

Shares of our Common Stock are “low-priced” or “penny stock,” resulting in increased risks to our investors and certain requirements being imposed on some brokers who execute transactions in our Common Stock.  In general, a low-priced stock is an equity security that:

 
Is priced under five dollars;
 
Is not traded on a national stock exchange, such as NASDAQ or the NYSE;
 
Is issued by a company that has less than $5 million in net tangible assets (if it has been in business less than three years) or has less than $2 million in net tangible assets (if it has been in business for at least three years); and
 
Is issued by a company that has average revenues of less than $6 million for the past three years.

We believe that our Common Stock is presently a “penny stock.” At any time the Common Stock qualifies as a penny stock, the following requirements, among others, will generally apply:

 
Certain broker-dealers who recommend penny stock to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to a transaction prior to sale.
 
Prior to executing any transaction involving a penny stock, certain broker-dealers must deliver to certain purchasers a disclosure schedule explaining the risks involved in owning penny stock, the broker-dealer’s duties to the customer, a toll-free telephone number for inquiries about the broker-dealer’s disciplinary history and the customer’s rights and remedies in case of fraud or abuse in the sale.
 
In connection with the execution of any transaction involving a penny stock, certain broker-dealers must deliver to certain purchasers the following:
 
o
bid and offer price quotes and volume information;
 
o
the broker-dealer’s compensation for the trade;
 
o
the compensation received by certain salespersons for the trade;
 
o
monthly accounts statements; and
 
o
a written statement of the customer’s financial situation and investment goals.

Company Overview

We provide a series of cashflow and personal finance management tools including an online, subscription–based software solution for debt elimination, cash management, bill payment and wealth creation.  In addition, these programs come with debt reduction coaching and customer service from agents.

Our principal product offering is our Cashflow Management Software Tool, which contains two components.  The first is a debt management and reduction software called iDebtManager. iDebtManager is a web-based application used by customers to organize a debt payment plan.  The second is called iBillManager, which interfaces with a third-party electronic bill-payment system called Metavante , and uses electronic debit transactions to automate all bill payments for customers.

We currently provide Internet-based debt management and wealth building services to tens of thousands of customers.  We plan to continue to build upon our success, strengths, and reputation as a leading and reliable provider of automated finance management software. With the success in both our historic online marketing campaigns and our new corporate marketing efforts,we are beginning to see a large increase in revenues which has allowed us to expand our pursuits to increase stockholder value through greater market penetration and additional services.

Management believes that we are well positioned in the marketplace as a supplier of both subscription-based cash management services and our new corporate marketing campaign that reaches all fifty states. By leveraging the existing scalability of our system our strategic marketing partners and customer service partners, we believe that we can continue to grow at a strong rate with only a modest investment of additional capital.
 
 
Online subscriptions to our services mainly come from potential customers seeing an offer for our services on the websites of third-party vendors, referred to as lead providers. The websites contain a description of our services, the terms and conditions of our agreement with the customer, the customer’s agreement with those terms and conditions by a click on the website and a link to a payment web page.

Following the first quarter of 2010, we incurred a high volume of charge-backs on credit card transactions.   We determined that this was caused by one particular lead provider having omitted our customer service contact information and telephone number from the terms and conditions of our agreement on their website.  Without this customer service telephone number, customers, who normally would have contacted the Company and requested a refund, instead were left with no option other than to contact their bank to request a charge-back to their credit card. Upon identifying this problem, we immediately terminated our relationship with this lead provider. Our revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 were not significantly harmed by this termination; however, we experienced a moderate decline in revenue for the remainder of 2010 as we established other marketing and business relationships.

 
15

 
 
An additional consequence of our relationship with this lead provider in early 2010 has been the loss of our relationship with a significant credit card processor and a related fine. Historically, most of our revenues come from online subscriptions involving monthly credit card payments. To process these payments, we rely upon a number of credit card processing companies, who in turn, have relationships with VISA, MasterCard and other credit card companies. As a result of a high volume of charge-backs on credit card transactions in early 2010, a key credit card processor increased minimum merchant reserve levels in the second quarter of 2010 and eventually terminated its processing relationship with us. Following the second quarter of 2010, we learned that VISA had changed certain rules which allowed them to fine $100 per charge-back to merchants and subsequently charged the credit card processor with a $707,500 fine associated with 7,025 charge-backs processed in March and April of 2010, which fine the credit card processor allegedly paid and for which it is seeking indemnification from us. In addition, 6,100 charge-backs were processed in May and June of 2010, and an additional fine was assessed, resulting in aggregate fines associated with this credit card processor of approximately $1,000,000.  Our agreements with this processor and other processor may be read to require us to reimburse the credit card processor for such fines, without any opportunity to intercede with VISA or otherwise defend against the claims. Our corporate counsel is exploring the Company’s rights, obligations and options at this time, however, we recorded an expense and corresponding liability of $707,500 during the second quarter of 2010.
 
Since credit card fraud is so prevalent on the Internet, one solution we have implemented is to accept payment for our service by eCheck. The acceptance of payment by check is governed and protected by the federal government. Beginning in July of 2010, all of our new business is through eCheck. Because establishing an eCheck relationship is difficult and time consuming, this may limit expansion of, and even lead to contractions in, our revenue.

Results of Operations – Year Ended December 31, 2010 and 2009

The following discussions are based on the consolidated balance sheets as December 31, 2010 and 2009 and statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 and notes thereto, attached following the signature pages hereof.

Revenues and Cost of Revenues

Revenues are achieved through offering subscriptions to our various online applications for automating debt reduction, cash management and wealth building. Revenues from sales of our services for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $7,048,853, a decrease of $47,469 from $7,096,052 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The first half of 2010 showed an increase in marketing and sales, but was followed with a decrease in marketing and our inability to process credit cards.  As a result, we experienced a subsequent reduction in sales which ultimately resulted in nearly the same total revenue as 2009.

Expenses
 
Total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $7,984,419, an increase of $1,607,127 from expenses of $6,377,292 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The increase in operating expenses was due to the additional cost related to recording a contingent liability for fines related to our merchant account activity, an increase in costs related to being a fully reporting company and the cost of additional employees and services as compared with the year ended December 31, 2009.

Our marketing expenses decreased by $1,038,134, to $2,696,632 in the year ended December 31, 2010, from $3,734,766 in the year ended December 31, 2009.  Our customer service expenses decreased by $175,528, to $573,345 in the year ended December 31, 2010 from $748,873 in the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in marketing and customer service expense is due to our decreased marketing ability and credit card volume due to our decrease in capacity to process new customers.

Expenses relating to salaries increased by $481,654, to $1,062,173 in the year ended December 31, 2010 from $580,519 in the year ended December 31, 2009.  Expenses relating to professional fees increased by $196,079, to $766,347 in the year ended December 31, 2010 from $570,268 in the year ended December 31, 2009 and was related to legal and accounting expenses.  Merchant costs increased $2,079,821 to $2,593,815 from 513,994, for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  These costs are associated with a large increase in the cost of processing credit cards, refunds and chargebacks and associated fines. Our general and administrative expenses increased by $292,107, to $231,870 in the year ended December 31, 2010 from $742,866 in the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase in expenses relating to salaries and professional fees is due to additional employees and more professional services for attorneys, auditors and software developers.  The increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily from the prohibitive increase in the cost of doing credit card business online with a dramatic increase in fees, including a fine imposed by VISA, collected from a processor and demanded from the Company.

Our other expenses decreased $36,990, from $37,839 in the year ended December 31, 2009 to $849 in the year ended December 31, 2010.  This change is the result of having no interest expense.
 
The net loss of $936,685 for the year ended December 31, 2010 represents a change of $1,617,606 compared to our net income of $680,921 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  Our loss is primarily the result of a large contingent liability from a fine assessed against a credit card processor and, in turn, demanded from us and additional costs related to credit card activity, salaries and general costs.
  
Impact of Inflation

In the opinion of our management, inflation has not and will not have a material effect on our operations in the immediate future.  Management will continue to monitor inflation and evaluate the possible future effects of inflation on our business and operations.
   
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow
 
We used $248,841 of cash in operations during the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $736,465 in cash provided by operations during the year ended December 31, 2009. 
          
For the year ended December 31, 2010, our primary source of cash has continued to be from operations.  We freed up cash by paying for bonuses with common stock valued at $119,533, a decrease of merchant reserves receivable of $97,123 and accruing an additional $711,640 of liabilities, the majority of which was due to a fine assessed by a credit card processor.  In 2010, executives forgave $251,000 in accrued wages.  The Company used $85,888 to reduce accounts payable and $178,813 for a reduction in deferred revenue.  We also used $19,436 to purchase computer and phone equipment.  Finally, we received $4,148 in payments for a loan to employees.

 
17

 
     
For the year ended December 31, 2009, our primary source of cash was from operations.  We freed up cash by paying for services with common stock valued at $151,670 and an increase in accounts payable of $214,573.  In 2009, through our new model of lower cost subscriptions for the masses rather than high priced service for a few individuals, we experienced a large increase in revenue and consequently an increase in deferred revenue $171,458.   Similarly, merchant reserves increased as revenues increased, which used $265,029 in cash.  We also used $105,250 to purchase land, computer and phone equipment.  Finally, we spent $147,319 of cash to redeem 311,472 shares of common stock and place them in treasury, loaned $27,744 to employees as interest bearing notes and paid off $279,851 in notes payable.
 
Capital Expenditures.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2010, principal capital expenditures and uses of cash for investing activities were $19,436, which was primarily for an upgrade to our phone system and various computers.   

During the year ended December 31, 2009, principal capital expenditures and uses of cash for investing activities were $132,144, which resulted primarily from an upgrade to our servers, computers, the purchase of land and the redemption of our common stock.   
   
We expect capital expenditures during the next 12 months to be minimal, consisting mostly of new computers, phone system upgrades and possible leasehold improvements totaling no more than $15,000.
 
Current and Expected Liquidity.

As of December 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $64,727 and current assets of $260,103.   As of December 31, 2010, we had current liabilities of $1,480,719, which is made up of $238,389 in accounts payable, $1,072,000 in accrued liabilities, $153,100 in deferred revenue and $17,230 in notes payable, creating a working capital deficit of $1,220,616.

Our $1,072,000 in accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2010 is made up of a contingent liability of $707,500 for a fine assessed to a merchant account processor, $175,725 in accrued salaries earned by the CEO and President during the period 2004-2007, $47,714 in accrued refunds and $141,061 in accrued payroll and other miscellaneous liabilities.  The accrued salary does not bear interest, has no payment schedule or priority and is paid out of profits when management believes operations will not be impacted negatively.

As of December 31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $328,856 and current assets of $640,700.   As of December 31, 2009, we had current liabilities of $1,611,116, which is made up of $328,743 in accounts payable, $933,230 in accrued liabilities, $331,913 in deferred revenue and $17,230 in notes payable, creating a working capital deficit of $970,416.

Our $933,230 in accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2009 is made up of $783,054 in accrued salaries earned by the CEO and President during the period 2004-2007, $62,547 in accrued refunds and $87,629 in accrued payroll and other miscellaneous liabilities.

Our cash resources are not sufficient to meet our operating needs for the next 12 months unless we are able to generate positive cash flow from operations.  Otherwise, we will be required to seek outside capital funding.
 
We have relied on cash from operations as the sole source of cash for the past three years.  We have used our positive cash flow from the last two years to pay down external debt and begin paying down accrued salaries and other liabilities, while increasing operations and staff and commencing the process of registering with the SEC.  
 
Due to a streamlined business model and corporate structure, our fixed cash requirements are between $200,000 and $250,000 per month; we currently are able to meet these cash requirements through revenues from our current number of customers, which generally generates $150,000 to $250,000 in cash per month.  Even with increased expenses associated with being a reporting company, we expect to be able to experience positive cash flow to cover planned operations (but not extraordinary events) if operations continue at current levels.    Because of recent changes in credit card merchanting rules and the Company’s recent shift away from a credit card processing relationship, there is a risk that net cash flow will not continue at current levels during 2011, and we may be required to seek additional capital.
 
Due to recent changes in credit card merchanting rules and regulations, certain online activity has become limited.  As a result, our total online activity in relation to total sales is limited, which may limit our access to cash for operations.  In addition, as previously described, we experienced a high volume of chargebacks on credit card transactions in early 2010, which lead to increased minimum merchant reserve levels in the second quarter of 2010, as evidenced by the $527,000 in cash used to finance our merchant reserves.  We expect merchant reserve requirements to remain high into the future.  We have taken steps to remedy this new limitation by seeking new avenues of electronic payment such as ACH and eCheck options.   We believe that these remedies will permit the Company to offset most of the effect of the changes in merchanting rules and increases in reserve requirements in the short term and create an environment for growth long-term.

We also lost our relationship with this same credit card processor as a result of the chargebacks in 2010, and are evaluating a demand related to a $1,000,000 fine. We may pursue relationships with other credit card processors and, since our marketing, customer service and other expenses generally decrease proportionately with revenue, we expect to be able to offset much of the reduction in cash receipts with reductions in cash expenses. However, until we can provide credit card processors with assurance that our transactions will not result in significant chargebacks and can enter into additional processing relationships, these credit card processing limits may harm our cash flow.
 
To the extent we experience a net reduction in cash flow, or are unable to reduce or negotiate extended payment terms for the $1,000,000 fine, we may be required to raise additional capital. In the event that we need additional capital, because we do not have traditional assets such as equipment, inventory or trade receivables, our access to traditional institutional financing is limited; however, we believe that any effort to raise additional capital would benefit from our absence of significant external debt, guaranties, off-balance sheet financing or similar long term liabilities. To raise additional capital, we would need to issue debt and/or equity securities, including potentially warrants and convertible securities. We do not have any commitments from any party to provide any such capital but do believe we could raise additional capital if needed.

Board of Directors

The following paragraphs set forth certain biographical information about the directors of the Company, including their specific qualifications to serve as directors of the Company in light of the Company’s business and structure.

Steven L. Sunyich is the founder of the Company and has served as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board since 2002.  From 2000, through 2002, Mr. Sunyich worked on the development of the Company’s business plan and products. From 1989 through 2000, Mr. Sunyich was the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of eRoomsystem Technology, Inc., a provider of automated mini-bars and related software.   From 1983 through 1989, Mr. Sunyich was the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of RoomSafe, Inc., a provider of automated safes for hotel rooms with related software.

Mr. Sunyich’s appointment as a director was based on his service as founder and long-term Chief Executive Officer of the Company, technical skills associated with using computer systems to automate tasks, his knowledge of the Company’s industry and products, skill negotiating marketing contracts and prior experience as an executive officer of eRoomsystem Technology and Roomsafe.

Paul Currie has been a director of the Company since January 2006.  From January 2005 to the present, Mr. Currie has served as the Director of Investor Relations for the Company.   In January 2010, Mr. Currie founded PK Travel, an online travel site.  From 1996 to 2005, Mr. Currie was a principal at DP Properties, an approximately $5 million venture capital firm.  Mr. Currie also worked at Bear Sterns as retail broker from 1990 to 1993.  Mr. Currie earned a B.S.A. degree in Genetics from the University of Georgia in 1988.

Mr. Currie’s appointment as a director of the Company is based upon his knowledge of the operations of the Company acquired during his six years of experience with the Company.  It is also based upon the business management and oversight experience he acquired while managing Properties, a small venture capital firm.   We also value his insights into the operation of stock markets, his business analytical skills and his understanding of investor psychology acquired while working at Bear Sterns for three years and serving as the director of the Company’s investor relations program since January 2005.

 
21

 
 
Robert Dahl has been a director of the Company since 2004.  From August 2008 through October 2009, Mr. Dahl served as Area Account Manager at @task Project Management Software, a developer of collaborative software solutions.  From January 2008 to the present, Mr. Dahl has served as Chief Executive Officer of Viritec, an early stage business providing infection control solutions for the healthcare industry.  From April 2006 to December 2007, Mr. Dahl worked as Regional Sales Manager at Exceptional Innovations, a home automation and controls business.  From January 2004 to April 2006, Mr. Dahl served as Regional Sales Manager of Vantage Lighting Control.  From 1995 to 1999, Mr. Dahl served as Investor Relations Officer and Business Development Manager of Covol, Inc. (now Headwaters, Inc.; NYSE HDWR), a coal fine processing company.   Mr. Dahl also served as Area Manager of WordPerfect Corporation, formerly a developer of word processing software, from 1989 to 1993.  Mr. Dahl is the President and a director of RMJ Inc., an inactive public shell company.
 
Mr. Dahl’s appointment as director of the Company is based upon his business judgment, communications skills and general business experience developed at Covol, where his responsibilities included overseeing the construction of 16 synthetic fuel plants and representing the company at trade showing and investor meetings, and as Chief Executive Officer of Viritec, an early stage business. He also has strong sales skills, particularly related to the software industry, which he developed as a sales manager for software companies such as WordPerfect, Vantage Controls, and @task Project Management.

Independence of the Board of Directors; Board Committees

We do not presently have a standing audit committee, nominating committee or compensation committee, and we do not have a charter for any such committees.  Our entire Board of Directors performs the functions generally preformed by such committees.  Our Board of Directors currently consists of Steven L. Sunyich, Paul Currie, and Robert Dahl. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Dahl is independent, using the standards of independence applicable to companies listed on the NASDAQ stock market and SEC rules applicable to audit committees.  Mr. Sunyich is not independent because he is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Mr. Currie is not independent because the $42,000 in fees paid to the affiliate of Mr. Currie for providing investor relations services to the Company, exceeding 5% of the revenues of such affiliate during 2009.

 In addition, our Board of Directors has determined that the Board of Directors, performing the functions of the audit committee, does not have a member qualifying as an audit committee financial expert, as defined in Item 401(d)(5) of Regulation S-K.  To conserve capital, we have chosen not to expand the size of our Board of Directors and to provide limited cash compensation to our directors.  The absence of significant cash compensation, and our early stage of development, makes recruiting persons who are not otherwise interested in our company more difficult.  For these reasons, we do not have on our Board of Directors a person who would qualify as an audit committee financial expert.

Code of Ethics

We have not adopted a code of ethics.  We first became a reporting company in late 2010.  As a result, we are still in the process of adopting and implement all of the codes, processes and controls normally adopted by reporting companies.  We expect to adopt a code of ethics in 2011.

Christopher Sunyich has served as President of the Company since March 2009. Prior to March 2009, Mr. Sunyich served as a sales and customer service manager for the Company from January 2002 to March 2009.

Involvement of Officers or Directors in Certain Legal Proceedings

On October 15, 2007, the Utah Division of Securities (the “Division”) issued an Order to Show Cause Docket Nos. SD-07-0073, SD-07-0074 and SD-07-0075  (the “Order to Show Cause”) against Steven L. Sunyich, together with his daughter and SGS Capital, a controlled entity (the “Respondents”) with respect to a matter unrelated to the Company.  In the Order to Show Cause, the Division alleges that the Respondents sold a $200,000 promissory note to an investor under which interest was to accrue at the rate of 3% per month.   Two interest payments, and a partial prepayment were made on the note, after which no additional payments were made.  The Division alleges that, in connection with the offer and sale of the note, the Respondents  committed securities fraud by making certain misrepresentations, and omitting certain material information, including misidentifying the company in which the proceeds associated with the note were to be invested.

Under a Stipulation and Consent Order agreed to by the Respondent and the Division, one or more of the Respondents agreed as follows:

 
·
Each of the Respondents will cease and desist from engaging in any conduct in violation of the Utah Securities Act, as amended (the “Act”).
 
·
SGS Capital (but not the other Respondents) will pay a fine of $250,000 to the Division.
 
·
The other Respondents, including Mr. Sunyich, will pay no fine so long as they (a) violate no provision of the Act for 3 years; (b) subordinate any claims against the entity in which they invested the proceeds of the note to the claims of their investor and (c) provide truthful testimony and cooperation with any investigation against the entity/person in which they invested the proceeds.  If they breached this agreement, they will owe a fine of $25,000.

Mr. Steven L. Sunyich, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, filed for personal bankruptcy in January 2009.
     
Disclosure of Certain Relationships.

Steven Sunyich, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, is the father of Christopher Sunyich, President.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
 
The Company’s executive officers, directors and 10% shareholders are required under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Copies of these reports must also be furnished to the Company.
 
Based solely on a review of copies of reports furnished to the Company, or written representations that no reports were required, the Company believes that during 2010 its executive officers, directors and 10% holders complied with all filing requirements of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  
 
Audit Committee

Our entire board of directors presently serves as our audit committee.  None of the members of the audit committee satisfy the independence requirements applicable to audit committees of listed companies.  In addition, the board of directors has determined that the audit committee does not have a member qualifying as an audit committee financial expert, as defined in Item 401(d)(5) of Regulation S-K.  To save limited capital over the last several years, we have chosen not to expand the size of our Board of Directors or to offer cash compensation to our directors.  The absence of cash compensation makes recruiting persons who are not otherwise interested in our company more difficult.  For these reasons, we do not have on our board of directors a person who would qualify as an audit committee financial expert.

We do not presently have a standing nominating committee or compensation committee, and we do not have a nominating committee charter or a compensation committee charter.

Compensation Processes and Procedures

Because of our early stage of development and limited resources, our process for determining compensation is informal.  We do not have a compensation committee or a compensation committee charter.  We have not, and in the near future do not expect to, engage a compensation consultant with respect to compensation.  Compensation decisions are made by the entire Board of Directors, including Steven L. Sunyich our Chief Executive Officer, based upon the Board of Directors’ subjective determination of what salaries the Company can afford with its limited resources and what level of equity-based compensation is necessary to attract and retain key personnel.   Based upon the subjective knowledge of the industry and other public companies, we believe that our salaries currently in place or proposed for our executive officers are below market.  In the future, particularly as we hire outside personnel without significant equity stakes, we expect that the cash portion of the compensation for new, and possibly existing, executives will increase.  Information regarding the employment agreements of the named executive officers is described under “Executive Employment Agreements, Termination of Employment and Change of Control Arrangements” below.

Executive Employment Agreements, Termination of Employment and Change of Control Arrangements

Except as described in following paragraphs, we have not entered into employment agreements with any of our named executive officers and, other than provisions in our stock incentive plan that permit acceleration of vesting of awards in connection with a change of control, have no arrangements or plans which provide benefits in connection with retirement, resignation, termination or a change of control.

Pursuant to a written employment agreement dated April 1, 2009, Mr. Steven Sunyich is entitled to a minimum annual base salary of $150,000, plus standard medical benefits and paid vacation.   Because of cash-flow limitations in prior periods, the Company has accumulated an accrued salary liability of $65,667 with respect to Mr. Steven Sunyich as of March 31, 2011.  Mr. Steven Sunyich is also entitled to an after-tax car allowance of $400 per month.   If Mr. Steven Sunyich’s employment is terminated by the Company with cause, as defined in the agreement, he is entitled to severance equal to three month’s salary, and if Mr. Steven Sunyich’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or in connection with a change of control, he is entitled to severance equal to six month’s salary.  If the Company sells substantially all of its assets, it is obligated to purchase from Mr. Steven Sunyich shares issued to Mr. Steven Sunyich as a result of a purchase or bonus after the date of the agreement at a purchase price consistent with the valuation of the transaction. Mr. Steven Sunyich is subject to a non-competition covenant during the period of his employment and for two years after termination of employment.

Compensation Policies and Practices

Our Board has reviewed the Company’s compensation program as it relates to all of the Company’s full-time employees and believes that, in light of the absence of significant equity or performance awards equity awards, commissions or other compensation with a short term horizon, or at all, the Company’s compensation structure is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.   As a matter of best practice, our management continues to monitor the Company’s compensation program to ensure that it continues to align the interests of the Company’s employees with those of our long-term shareholders while avoiding incentivizing our management to take unnecessary or excessive risk.

Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

Other than the employment and director compensation relationships discussed in Item 11 of this Report, and the transactions described below, there have been no material transactions between the Company and any executive officer, director, 5% stockholder or immediate family member of the same during the period commencing on January 1, 2010 through the date of this Report, and none are contemplated as of the date of this Report.

Pursuant to a Board-approved oral agreement, Paul Currie provides investor relation service to the Company in exchange for compensation of $36,000 per year, paid monthly. During 2010, Mr. Currie received an aggregate of $31,500 in compensation from the Company for such services.

In 2004, Steven Sunyich and Christopher Sunyich, the CEO and President, respectively, entered into employment contracts with the Company.  From 2004 to 2010, wages not paid in cash or stock was accrued without interest.  The balance of accrued wages as of December 31, 2010 for the CEO and President were $65,667 and $110,057, respectively.   It is anticipated that accrued wages will be paid out of profits when management and the Board of Directors believe there will be no negative impact on the Company.

In September 2009, the titles of three lots in California were deeded to the Company in accordance with a loan receivable default provision and valued at $70,870, the balance of the note receivable.  In June 2010, the land was transferred to Steven Sunyich and Christopher Sunyich, the CEO and President, respectively equally in lieu of accrued wages.  The appraised value of the land was approximately equal to our carrying value and was accounted for as compensation.

In 2010 the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Dahl pursuant to which the Company provides Mr. Dahl with access to certain software, marketing, consulting and limited customer service in exchange for payment of a fee by Mr. Dahl.  The total amount paid to the Company under this arrangement for 2010 was $54,000.

Independence of Board of Directors and Committees

Our Board of Directors currently consists of Steven L. Sunyich, Paul Currie, and Robert Dahl.  Mr. Sunyich is not independent because he is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Mr. Currie is not independent because of the $31,500 in fees paid to an affiliate of Mr. Currie in exchange for his provision of investor relations services to the Company.  The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Dahl is independent, using the standards of independence applicable to companies listed on the NASDAQ stock market.      

We do not presently have a standing audit committee, nominating committee or compensation committee, and we do not have a charter for any such committees.  Our entire Board of Directors performs the functions generally preformed by such committees. Mr. Dahl is independent using the standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market applicable to such committees.  Neither Mr. Sunyich nor Mr. Currie is independent under such standards for the reasons described above.
 
Item 14.  Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell, P.C., (“HBM”) is the Company’s independent registered accountant. All of the services described below were approved by our Board of Directors, acting as our audit committee prior to performance. The Board of Directors has determined that the payments made to its independent accountant for these services are compatible with maintaining such auditor's independence. The principal accountant fees of the fiscal year 2009 and the fiscal year 2010 are as follows:

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies

Under the pre-approval policies and procedures established by the Board of Directors, functioning as the audit committee, it would not permit engagement of accountants to render audit or non-audit services without prior approval of the Board of Directors, functioning as the audit committee.  As a result, all engagements of the independent auditors to render audit or non-audit services were approved by the Board of Directors, functioning as the audit committee.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and the Stockholders
Ideal Financial Solutions, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ideal Financial Solutions, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Ideal Financial Solutions, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As further discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, during the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company suffered a loss of $936,685 and used $248,841 of cash in its operating activities.  Through December 31, 2010, the Company has accumulated a deficit of $8,434,346 and as of December 31, 2010, the Company had a stockholders’ deficit of $1,186,874 and its current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $1,220,616. During the second quarter of 2010, the Company incurred a $707,500 charge for alleged credit card fines and penalties incurred in excess of the reserves held by a merchant bank. 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 also described in Note 1.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

IDEAL FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009
 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIESOrganization and Nature of Operations – Ideal Financial Solutions, Inc. is incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada and has eight wholly owned subsidiaries, which, with Ideal Financial Solutions, Inc., are referred to herein as the Company.

The Company markets and sells a suite of online software solutions to customers for monthly subscription fees that enable the customers to access the Company’s software solutions online and to receive related customer support. The Company’s software includes education, support and automated online tools intended to enable customers to create additional cash resources, to reduce or eliminate non-asset-building debt and to build financial independence. The suite of software solutions is marketed by the Company and through independent marketing organizations (marketing partners) that are paid a portion of the monthly subscription fees or a one time payment for referral. The Company initiates charges using credit cards, Check21, eCheck or ACH payments to customers for the monthly subscription fees that are collected through merchant clearing accounts.

Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the operations, transactions and balances of Ideal Financial Solutions, Inc. and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
     
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 estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Significant estimates include the recoverability of merchant reserves, revenue returns and refunds, share-based compensation forfeiture rates, and the potential outcome of future tax consequences of events that have been recognized for financial reporting purposes. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.

Business ConditionDuring the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company suffered a loss of $936,685 and used $248,841 of cash in its operating activities.  Through December 31, 2010, the Company has accumulated a deficit of $8,434,346 and as of December 31, 2010, the Company had a stockholders’ deficit of $1,186,874 and its current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $1,220,616. During the second quarter of 2010, the Company incurred a $1,000,000 charge for alleged credit card fines and penalties incurred in excess of the reserves held by a merchant bank. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management intends to mitigate these conditions by cutting costs, seeking out new customers and exploring new marketing opportunities.  To reduce the merchant costs of fees and potential fines and penalties, during the latter half of 2010, the company moved from credit card processing to Check21, eCheck  and ACH platforms.  In addition, the Company is currently exploring the opportunity to market its services to corporate accounts rather than directly to individuals.  Under these corporate accounts, the Company would charge a monthly fee to the corporation who would then allow their employees access to the suite of online services offered.  This should provide for a more stable and long-term customer base.  Uncertainty as to the outcome of these efforts raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers all highly-liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Merchant Reserves – Online subscription-based services require the use of credit card merchant accounts. The merchant clearing companies retain a portion of collected fees to cover possible loss from charge backs and refunds. Upon a satisfactory period with a merchant clearing company, the percent of cash held in reserve is reduced and paid to the Company.

Property and Equipment – Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Maintenance, repairs, and minor replacements are charged to expense as incurred. When depreciable assets are retired, sold, or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are three to five years. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $15,444 and $5,114, respectively.

We lease our executive office in Las Vegas, Nevada pursuant to a month-to-month lease. Our current rent with respect to this facility is $600 per month.  We also rent office space (approximately 4,800 square feet) used for operations, customer service and various meetings in Utah pursuant to two leases that expire on April 2, 2011 and January 5, 2012, respectively, and are subject to a one-year extension option.   Our current rent with respect to this facility is $2,400 per month, increasing to $2,800 per month during the renewal term.   We also colocate the servers that house our online software in a facility in Salt Lake City, Utah.  We colocate such servers pursuant to a month-to-month agreement, which has no expiration date.

In September 2009, the titles of three lots in California were deeded to the Company in accordance with a loan receivable default provision and valued at $70,870, the balance of the note receivable and was included in property and equipment at December 31, 2009.  In June 2010, the land was paid to the CEO and President equally in lieu of accrued wages.  The appraised value of the land was approximately equal to our carrying value and was accounted for as compensation.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets – The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment annually and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company uses an estimate of future undiscounted net cash flows from the related asset or group of assets over their remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. If it is determined that the carrying value of an asset will not be recovered, the carrying value is written down to the asset’s fair value determined by the discounted net cash flows from the asset. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2010 or 2009.

Revenue Recognition – Monthly subscription fees vary and are based on the services provided to customers including access to the Company’s online software, upgraded access to the software, customer support and training. Online payments for subscription fees for each service are determined individually based on the price each service is charged to the customer and are recognized as revenue over the period the services are provided, less estimated refunds and charge-backs based on historical experience rates.

Subscription fees received in advance of recognition as revenue are deferred until earned. Deferred revenue as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $153,100 and $331,913, respectively.  Estimated refunds and charge-backs are estimated and accrued in the same period the revenue is earned. Accrued refunds as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $47,714 and $62,547, respectively and are included in accrued liabilities.

Marketing and Advertising – The Company has contracts with independent marketing organizations (marketing partners), which marketing partners are paid a portion of the monthly subscription fees, or one time payments, for referrals of customers or for directing prospective customers to the Company’s websites. The cost of the services provided are recognized as marketing and advertising expense at the date the referrals are received and the obligation under the contracts is incurred.

Concentration Risk – During 2010, the Company had a marketing partner that provided 29% of all advertising leads.  During 2009, the Company had a different marketing partner that provided 70% of all advertising leads.  These marketing partners discontinued providing services to the Company in August 2009 and March of 2010, respectively.

Customer Service – The Company primarily outsources customer service to an unaffiliated company and is billed for the customer support provided on an hourly basis. Customer support expenses are recognized as incurred.  An outstanding invoice for $12,394 for these services is included in accounts payable as of December 31, 2010.
Income Taxes – Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided on differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements and on tax operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the financial statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred income tax assets when it is not more likely than not that the deferred income tax assets will be realized.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share –The computations of basic earnings (loss) per share are based on net income (loss) divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for qualified participating securities, using the if-converted method, when the qualified participating securities are dilutive. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing net income (loss) assuming dilution by the weighted-average number of common shares and potentially dilutive shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of non-participating shares. When dilutive, the potential common shares issuable upon exercise of warrants included in diluted earnings (loss) per share are determined by the treasury stock method.

At December 31, 2010, there were participating common stock equivalents from convertible preferred stock of 10,000,000 shares that were excluded from the computation of basic loss per share and there were 1,175,025 warrants that were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because their effects would have been anti-dilutive.

The calculations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share were as follows:

After technological feasibility has been established, maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Recently Enacted Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue Recognition In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘FASB”) issued a new accounting standard that provides guidance for arrangements with multiple deliverables. The new standard requires an entity to allocate arrangement consideration at the inception of an arrangement to all of its deliverables based on their relative selling prices. In addition, the new standard eliminates the use of the residual method of allocation and requires the relative-selling-price method in all circumstances in which an entity recognizes revenue for an arrangement with multiple deliverables. In October 2009, the FASB also issued a new accounting standard which changes revenue recognition for tangible products containing software and hardware elements. If certain requirements are met, revenue arrangements that contain tangible products with software elements that are essential to the functionality of the products are scoped out of the existing software revenue recognition accounting guidance and will be accounted for under the multiple-element arrangements revenue recognition guidance discussed above. Both standards will be effective for us in the first quarter of 2011. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of these accounting standards will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance requiring that for each class of assets and liabilities measured at fair value, reporting entities provide additional disclosures describing the reasons for transfers of assets in and out of Levels 1 and 2 of the three-tier fair value hierarchy.  For assets valued using the Level 3 method, entities will be required to separately present purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements.  The guidance also states that an entity should provide fair value measurements for each class of asset or liability, and Explain the inputs and techniques used in calculating Levels 2 and 3 fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for interim and annual filings for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.  There is no expected effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 2 – RELATED PARTY NOTES RECEIVABLE

During 2009, the Company advanced $15,244 and $12,500 to two employees under the terms of promissory note agreements. During 2010, the first note was paid by the surrender of 26,300 shares of stock with a market value of $12,623 or $0.48 per share, which was the market value on the date of the transaction.  The second note is unsecured, bears interest at 3%, and requires total monthly payments of $500 until the final payment in December 2011.

Preferred Stock – The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock from time to time with such rights and privileges as the Board of Directors may determine. During July 2004 and October 2006, the Board of directors designated and authorized the Company to issued 1,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value, Series A convertible preferred stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into 10 shares of common stock, or 10,000,000 shares of common stock in total.
 
The Series A Preferred Stock has no stated dividend rate and will share in any dividend declared by the Board of Directors on a pro rata basis as though it had been converted into common shares. Should the Board declare a dividend, the Series A Preferred Stock would receive payment prior to any dividends being declared or paid on the common stock. Accordingly, the Series A Preferred Stock is a participating security with the common stock for purposes of computing earnings (loss) per share.

Upon any liquidation of the Company, no distribution shall be made to the holders of shares of common stock or other stock ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have received an amount equal to the original issue price plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon. After this preferential payment, the Series A Preferred Shareholders shall participate on an equal basis with the common shareholders as if the preferred stock had been converted into common stock immediately prior to liquidation.
 
Except as otherwise required by law, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock vote together with the holders of shares of the common stock on all matters submitted to the stockholders of the Company and not as a separate class, and each share of Series A Preferred Stock entitles the holder thereof to 10 votes or the equivalent amount of voting power thereof as determined by the Board of Directors.

Common Stock – During 2009, the Company issued 479,489 shares of common stock to consultants for services valued at $151,671, or $0.32 per share. The common stock and the related services were valued based on the market value of the common stock at the date the shares were issued.

In March 2009, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock to officers of the Company upon satisfaction of accrued compensation. The common stock and the related compensation were valued at $60,000, or $0.02 per share, which was equal to the market value of the common stock on the date issued.

On July 17, 2009, the Company awarded selected officers and key employees a total of 120,000 shares of unvested common stock. The common stock awarded to each officer or employee vested over a one year period.  The market value of Company’s common stock on July 17, 2009 was $0.42 per share, or a total of $50,400, and was recognized as compensation expense over the period the common shares vested and was included in salaries expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2010, all compensation related to this award was recognized.

In August 2009, the Company purchased and redeemed 311,472 shares of common stock for $147,319, or $0.47 per share, for cash. The price paid was equal to the market value of the common stock on the date purchased and the payment did not include any unstated rights.

In February, 2010, the Company awarded to an officer a total of 50,000 shares of unvested common stock. The common stock awarded vests over a one-year period.  The market value of Company’s common stock on February 28, 2010 was $0.68 per share, or a total of $34,000, and is being recognized as compensation expense over the period the common shares vest. Compensation expense charged against operations for these stock-based awards during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $28,333 and is included in salary expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Employment agreement In July 2003, the Company entered into employment agreements with its chief executive officer, and its executive vice president. In 2010, the Company entered into employment agreements with its chief operating officer and its chief financial officer. The employment agreements have no defined termination date and provide for an annual base compensation with annual reviews and adjustments. Employee agreements exist for other key management positions with varying annual base compensation and a twelve-month duration with an option to extend in perpetuity.
    
Merchant Claim – During 2009, the Company was notified of a claim from a merchant for alleged credit card fines and penalties incurred in excess of the reserves held by the merchant in the amount of $115,320. The Company has requested substantiation of the fines and penalties; however, the claimant has been unable to substantiate the claim.  The Company is negotiating with the claimant, is currently unable to estimate the outcome or the potential loss that may be incurred, if any, and believes that any loss that may be incurred as a result of this claim is negligible and has not made a provision in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, however, the outcome is uncertain.

During 2010, the Company was notified of a claim from a merchant account processor for fines and penalties incurred in excess of the reserves held by the merchant in the amount of approximately $1,000,000.  The fine was assessed by VISA and collected from the merchant account processor and is allegedly an expense that is to be passed on to the Company.  The Company is negotiating with the merchant account processor as to whether the Company is required to reimburse the merchant account processor and the amount of that reimbursement. Though the Company is negotiating with the claimant, we are currently unable to estimate the outcome or the potential loss that may be incurred, if any, and we believe that any loss that may be incurred as a result of this claim has been adequately provided for by recording an expense and corresponding liability of $707,500 during the second quarter of 2010.
