Company Overview
 
Spring Creek Healthcare Systems, Inc.  (“Spring Creek” or the “Company”) is a healthcare company whose business plan is to distribute novel solutions for the medical, pharmaceutical and healthcare markets to resellers and consumers worldwide. Spring Creek actively pursues emerging opportunities in the healthcare industry by selecting young start-up and micro-cap companies with innovative concepts and launching their products and services utilizing a marketing distribution network including one of its subsidiaries, Stratis Healthcare, Inc. (“Stratis”).

Spring Creek was a closed-end management investment company that in April 2009 elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”).  The Company was originally formed in May 2006 to engage in the exploration of mineral properties for copper and other metals; however, as a result of the April 2009 change in business plan to be a specialty investment company, the mining operations were discontinued.  The Company conducted operations as a BDC from April 23, 2009 through December 31, 2009. During this time, Spring Creek acquired or established its initial interests in healthcare companies by acquiring equity stakes in or starting development stage companies in this industry. The Company also completed two minority equity investments in companies that it believed to be strategic to its mission.
 
In February 2010, our Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock authorized management to withdraw the election to be regulated as a BDC.  This decision was in part prompted by the actuality that the majority of the Company’s resources were allocated to managing the operating activities of its holdings and, in addition, management found that the Company may not have been in compliance with certain BDC provisions of the 1940 Act.  On July 7, 2010, the Company filed an Information Statement with the SEC providing notice of shareholder action in lieu of a Meeting of Shareholders, taken pursuant to the written consent of certain shareholders, referred to as the consenting shareholders. Specifically, the consenting shareholders approved the withdrawal of the Company’s election to be a BDC. This action became effective on August 17, 2010 when the Company filed the applicable Notice concerning the withdrawal with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Further, in recognition of the change in its operations, the Company changed its name from Spring Creek Capital Corp. to Spring Creek Healthcare Systems, Inc., effective as of September 30, 2010.
 
As a result of the decision to withdraw our election to be treated as a BDC and become an operating company, the fundamental nature of our business changed from that of investing in a portfolio of securities with the goal of achieving gains on appreciation and dividend income, to that of being actively engaged in the ownership and management of a holding company with the goal of generating income from the operations of those businesses.  The decision to withdraw our election as a BDC under the 1940 Act necessitated a significant change in our method of accounting. We formerly utilized the BDC financial statement presentation and that accounting utilized the value method of accounting used by investment companies, which allows BDCs to recognize income and value their investments at market value as opposed to historical cost.  As an operating company, we were required to adopt the financial statement presentation and accounting for securities held which provides for either fair value or historical cost methods of accounting, depending on the classification of the investment and our intent with respect to the period of time we intend to hold the investment.  This change in our method of accounting could impact the market value of our investments in privately held companies by eliminating our ability to report an increase in value of our holdings as the increase occurs.  As an operating company, the Company, effective December 31, 2009, consolidated our financial statements with our controlled subsidiaries, thus eliminating the portfolio company reporting benefits available to BDCs.  
  
Primary Strategy
 
 Our core strategy is to acquire or develop innovative solutions in the field of healthcare and to grow our business. To accomplish this, we will:
 
*        Actively pursue emerging opportunities in the healthcare sector with high growth potential;
 
*        Exploit our global marketing and distribution infrastructure to reach our target markets;

*        Establish trust in our brands in the minds of consumers;
 
*        Schedule the launch of our products and services to coincide with the most opportune periods; and

*        Increase our cash flow and profits.

In addition, we will need capital sufficient to maintain operations and complete acquisitions in order to advance our objectives.

Established Healthcare Market Network
 
We believe that, through the experience of our management and directors, we have solid channels through which we may distribute our products and substantial resources to potentially generate a number of new opportunities for our Company. However, there can be no guarantee such relationships will lead to the origination of new products, acquisitions, or investments.
 
Affiliate Companies 
 
As of December 31, 2010, our subsidiaries included Stratis Healthcare (100% owned) DelRx Pharmaceuticals Corp. (51% owned), Debride Corp. (51% owned), and Ecological Solutions, Inc. (100%  owned).

DelRx Pharmaceuticals Corp. has developed a proprietary drug delivery technology for the transmucosal (the cavity between the cheek and gum) administration of large molecule drugs as a liquid dispersion, e.g., peptides like insulin, monoclonal, antibodies, hormones, vaccines and other proteins. Currently, these macro-molecular drugs cannot be administered orally, and are instead injected, usually with a needle and syringe or by intravenous infusion. Utilizing this innovative delivery system, DelRx can provide better stability and may reduce the side effects seen with certain nasal delivery and inhalation methods. Two initial product lines are planned based on DelRx Pharmaceuticals’ patented IP portfolio. The first is the buccal delivery of insulin and the second is for treatment of osteoporosis pain management with fentanyl citrate.

Debride Corp. has licensed a patent pending drug product which represents a fundamentally new combination approach to the topical treatment of open wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers, venous stasis or decubitus ulcers (bed sores). The product can be developed as a prescription drug for the treatment of bed sores but has potential in other clinical indications, even in over-the-counter concentrations that could be used to treat wounds, burns and various skin irritations including rashes and insect bites.

Ecological Solutions, Inc. has licensed the rights to manufacture a homeopathic insect repellent whose formulation is free of Deet. Deet is a commonly used ingredient in insect repellents which some consider to be too toxic for use on human skin.

Stratis Healthcare, Inc. will act as the principal conduit through which the distribution of healthcare products will flow to customers. Stratis’ primary business is to distribute licensed products from third parties or products developed by our affiliated companies to resellers and customers worldwide either directly, through distributors or through multi-channel resources. Stratis will use unrelated third parties to warehouse, provide inventory control/monitoring, and distribute these products. Systems and processes will be designed to be efficient and repeatable so as to allow us to implement cost-effective solutions for the distribution of medical products.

In March 2011, the Company added a new subsidiary, Sashiel Beauty, Inc. (51% owned), to its stable of affiliates.  Sashiel is unique in our portfolio, in that it represents the Company’s initial foray into the “Health and Beauty” segment of the healthcare market.  Sashiel specializes in developing premium cosmetic skincare products for effective skincare with a value oriented approach. Sashiel currently licenses two consumer products sold under the brand Reversital® - Microderma Stick® Face, Throat, Decolleté, and Microderma Stick® Body, Elbows, Feet. Microderma Stick® is a microdermabrasion resurfacing stick with active moisturizers made to cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturize all in one dial-up application. It is portable, easy to hold, and can reduce observable fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, age spots, damage from UVA/UVB rays, skin discoloration and dry skin. The introductory product lines include a 2oz. resurfacing stick for sensitive and normal skin types and a 3oz. resurfacing stick for all skin types.
 
Products and Services

As of April 8, 2011, Spring Creek has 2 products readily available to be sold to consumers through Sashiel Beauty Inc., - Microderma Stick® 3 in 1 Face, Throat, Decolleté, and Microderma Stick®  3 in 1 Body, Elbows, Feet. These products are marketed under the Reversital® brand.
Other products in Spring Creek’s subsidiary portfolio include:  Eco-Solutions insect repellant product, which consists of a unique blend of essential oils and naturally occurring ingredients which contains no Deet in its formulation;  BioCube’s product CubeX, which consists of a mechanical aerosolizer designed to thoroughly sanitize sensitive materials or enclosed facilities; Debride’s topical therapy product, which represents a fundamentally new approach to the topical treatment of open wounds, and; DelRx’s drug delivery technology, for the transmucosal administration of large molecule drugs as a liquid dispersion.

While we believe Eco-Solutions and BioCube have healthcare related consumer solutions that may be near their respective launch dates, DelRx and Debride each have further necessary government approvals that will take an indeterminate period before we may see their products sold in the market. However, we believe the revenue potential for both DelRx and Debride have the potential to be materially significant to the future of Spring Creek.

Customers
 
It is our belief that our customer base will include principally institutional and retail healthcare providers. Institutional healthcare providers could potentially include acute care hospitals, health systems, long-term care and other alternate care pharmacies and providers of pharmacy services to such facilities, and physician offices. Retail healthcare providers can include national and regional retail drugstore chains, independent community pharmacies and pharmacy departments of supermarkets and mass merchandisers as well as other departments of mass discount retailers.

Competition
 
We face a highly competitive environment in the distribution of pharmaceuticals and related healthcare services. The largest national competitors are Cardinal Health, Inc. (“Cardinal”) and McKesson Corporation (“McKesson”).  We also compete with manufacturers who sell directly to customers, chain drugstores that manage their own warehousing, specialty distributors, and packaging and healthcare technology companies. In all areas, competitive factors include price, product offerings, value-added service programs, service and delivery, credit terms, and customer support. In addition to these and other established institutions, there are a number of mid size and smaller public and private companies that have established themselves in different sectors of the healthcare field. These companies are striving to redefine themselves as market leaders in a mature marketplace, which tends to lead to innovative strategies and products that may change the dynamics of the healthcare market in unforeseen ways. It will be a continual challenge for us to stay ahead of these new technologies, in addition to finding ways to sell our products against brands that have established themselves in the minds of consumers.  

In addition, our “Health and Beauty” products compete with cosmetic products sold through mass retailers, specialty boutiques, on infomercials, through the internet, door to door, and in large department stores. Our competitors include Avon, Procter and Gamble, Revlon, L’Oreal and many private label brands, amongst others.
 
Government Regulation
 
We are subject to oversight by various federal and state governmental entities and we are subject to, and affected by, a variety of federal and state laws, regulations and policies.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and various state regulatory authorities regulate the purchase, storage, and/or distribution of pharmaceutical products. The DEA, FDA and state regulatory authorities have broad enforcement powers, including the ability to seize or recall products and impose significant criminal, civil and administrative sanctions for violations of applicable laws and regulations. As a wholesale distributor of pharmaceuticals and certain related products, we are subject to these laws and regulations. We have all necessary licenses or other regulatory approvals and believe that we are in compliance with all applicable pharmaceutical wholesale distribution requirements needed to conduct our operations.

In recent years, some states have passed or have proposed laws and regulations that are intended to protect the safety of the pharmaceutical supply channel. These laws and regulations are designed to prevent the introduction of counterfeit, diverted, adulterated or mislabeled pharmaceuticals into the distribution system. In addition, the FDA Amendments Act of 2007(the “2007 Act”) requires the FDA to establish standards and identify and validate effective technologies for the purpose of securing the pharmaceutical supply chain against counterfeit drugs. These standards may include track-and-trace or authentication technologies, such as radio frequency identification devices and other technologies. The 2007 Act required the FDA to develop a standardized numerical identifier by April 1, 2010.

As a result of political, economic and regulatory influences, the healthcare delivery industry in the United States is under intense scrutiny and subject to fundamental changes. Although there was substantial Federal legislation enacted during 2010 which impacted our healthcare system in the United States, we expect that the administration, Congress and certain state legislatures will continue to review and assess alternative healthcare delivery systems and payment methods in order to reform the healthcare system. Thus, we cannot predict the impact on us of the 2010 legislation and/or additional regulation governing the delivery or pricing of pharmaceutical products that may be passed.  Nor can we predict the impact on us of potential changes to the structure of the present healthcare delivery system, if any, when they may be adopted.

The costs associated with complying with federal and state regulations, which could also include those of the Federal Trade Commission, could be significant and the failure to comply with any such legal requirements could have a significant adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

Environmental Matters
 
Our business activities are subject to extensive federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations relating to water, air, hazardous substances and wastes that may restrict or limit such business activities. Although we do not, nor do we have plans to directly manufacture our own products, we may still be subject to existing environmental laws by way of regulatory agencies or other third party claimants. Examples of U.S. Federal environmental legislation that may have adverse effects on us include the Toxic Substances Control Act, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA or the Superfund Act) and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. This list is not complete, as there are many laws and regulations that exist or that may come to pass that we cannot foresee which may also have an impact on us. The multitude of regulations issued by federal, state, provincial and local administrative agencies will be burdensome and costly as a result. There are currently no pending legal proceedings against us with any government regulatory agencies.

Employees
 
 We had no employees during the year ended December 31, 2010 although we utilized the services of several individuals on an interim basis including Kelly T. Hickel and Jan E. Chason, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively.  We anticipate making more formal arrangements with them and other needed executives and staff as our operations increase.
 
Research and Development Expenditures
 
We have not incurred any significant research or development expenditures since our incorporation although we have acquired rights to technology, including those connected to the products to be distributed by each of our subsidiaries.  These rights have been capitalized as intangibles and aggregate $352,000 as of December 31, 2010.

While we believe we have healthcare related consumer solutions that may be near their respective launch dates, DelRx and Debride each have further necessary government approvals that will take an indeterminate amount of time before we may see their products sold in the market.
 
Patents and Trademarks
 
The Company seeks to protect its innovations and developments by acquiring patent and trademark protection relevant to our business where possible.  The Company has and/or continues to seek, trademark and patent protection on certain of our products, including DelRx™,  Reversital®, and the technologies and processes by which DelRx and Debride products are manufactured.  However, if our intellectual property positions are challenged, invalidated, circumvented or expire, or if we fail to prevail in future intellectual property litigation, our business could be adversely affected.  Our success depends in part on our ability to obtain and defend patent rights and other intellectual property rights that are important to the commercialization of our products and product candidates. The patent positions of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies can be highly uncertain and often involve complex legal, scientific and factual questions. Third parties may challenge, invalidate or circumvent our patents and patent applications relating to our products, product candidates and technologies. In addition, our patent positions might not protect us against competitors with similar products or technologies because competing products or technologies may not infringe our patents.  For certain of our product candidates, there are third parties who have patents or pending patent applications that they may claim necessitate payment of a royalty or prevent us from commercializing these product candidates in certain territories. Patent disputes are frequent, costly and can preclude, delay or increase the cost of commercialization of products.
             
ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS
 
We are a new enterprise engaged in the business of acquiring, developing and integrating small private companies and products related to healthcare.  There are numerous and varied risks, known and unknown, that may prevent us from achieving our goals. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operation may be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment.
 
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
 
We are an early stage company with no operating history.  Accordingly, you will have no basis upon which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objectives.
 
We are a development stage company and our limited operating history makes it difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business or prospective operations.  Our business plan involves the acquisition and development of operating companies predominately in the healthcare market and is subject to all the risks inherent in the initial organization, financing, expenditures, complications and delays inherent in a new business. Investors should evaluate an investment in our Company in light of the uncertainties frequently encountered by companies developing markets for new products, services and technologies in which we expect to invest. We may never overcome these obstacles.
 
In addition, our business is speculative and depends upon the implementation of our business plan and our ability to enter into agreements with third parties on behalf of our affiliate companies on terms that will be commercially viable for us. There can be no assurance that our efforts will be successful or that we will be able to attain profitability.
 
Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  This could make it more difficult for us to raise funds and adversely affect our relationships with lenders, investors and suppliers.
 
Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. This indicates that our auditors believe that substantial doubt exists regarding our ability to continue to remain in business.  We cannot provide any assurance that we will in fact operate our business profitably or obtain sufficient financing to sustain our business in the event we are not successful in our efforts to generate sufficient revenue and operating cash flow. The expression of such doubt by our independent registered public accounting firm, or our inability to overcome the factors leading to such doubt, could have a material adverse effect on our relationships with prospective customers, lenders, investors and suppliers, and therefore could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We will need additional financing to execute our business plan and fund operations, which additional financing may not be available.
 
We have very limited funds and we may not be able to execute our current business plan and fund business operations long enough to achieve profitability. Our ultimate success may depend upon our ability to raise additional capital. There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available when needed from any source or, if available, will be available on terms that are acceptable to us.
 
We may be required to pursue sources of additional capital through various means, including joint venture projects and debt or equity financings. Future financings through equity investments are likely to be dilutive to existing stockholders. Also, the terms of securities we may issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable for our new investors. Newly issued securities may include preferences, superior voting rights, the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, and the issuances of incentive awards under equity employee incentive plans, which may have additional dilutive effects. Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which will adversely impact our financial condition.
 
Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by such factors as the capital markets, both generally and specifically in the healthcare industry, and the fact that we are not profitable, which could impact the availability and cost of future financings. If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities, together with our revenues from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, even to the extent that we reduce our operations accordingly, we may be required to cease operations.
 
We are a holding company with no business operations of our own and must rely on our subsidiaries or creditors to pay certain expenses.
 

Spring Creek is a holding company with no business operations of its own. Our only material asset is our investments in our subsidiaries. Our Company is dependent on the earnings, cash flow, dividends, or distributions from our subsidiaries which in one instance is a minority holding, or loans from creditors.

No guarantee of market acceptance.
 
Our success is dependent on market acceptance of any new technology or service that we acquire or develop for our selected industry. We cannot assure you that healthcare market professionals will conclude that our technologies are useful or safe. We cannot assure you that our technology will achieve or maintain significant market acceptance among distributors, patients, physicians, or healthcare payers in general, or even that any and all necessary regulatory approvals will be obtained.
 
Strategic relationships upon which we may rely are subject to change, which may diminish our ability to conduct our operations.
 
Our ability to successfully develop or acquire products and companies and to identify and enter into commercial arrangements with customers will depend on our ability to select and evaluate suitable opportunities to consummate transactions in an environment that is highly competitive.  These realities are subject to change and may impair our ability to grow.

To develop our business, we will endeavor to use the business relationships of our management to enter into strategic relationships, which may take the form of joint ventures with private parties and contractual arrangements with other resource companies. We may not be able to establish these strategic relationships, or if established, we may not be able to maintain them. In addition, the dynamics of our relationships with strategic partners may require us to incur expenses or undertake activities we would not otherwise be inclined to in order to fulfill our obligations to these partners or maintain our relationships. If our strategic relationships are not established or maintained, our business prospects may be limited, which could diminish our ability to conduct our operations.

We may not be able to effectively manage our growth, which may harm our profitability.
 
Our strategy envisions expanding our business of developing proprietary solutions in the healthcare industry.  If we fail to do so, and thereafter to manage our growth, our financial results could be adversely affected. Growth may place a strain on our management systems and resources. We must continue to refine and expand our business development capabilities, our systems and processes and our access to financing sources.  As we grow, we must hire, train, supervise and manage new employees. We cannot assure you that we will be able to:
 
*  meet our capital needs;
*  expand our systems effectively or efficiently or in a timely manner;
*  allocate our human resources optimally;
*  identify and hire qualified employees or retain valued employees; or
*  incorporate effectively the components of any products, services or businesses that we may acquire in our effort to achieve growth.

If we are unable to manage our growth, our operations and our financial results could be adversely affected by inefficiency, which could diminish our profitability.
 
Our business may suffer if we do not attract and retain talented personnel.
 
Our success will depend in large measure on the abilities, expertise, judgment, discretion, integrity and good faith of our management and other personnel in conducting our intended business. In addition, we depend on management and employees to interpret market data correctly and to interpret and respond to economic, market and other conditions to locate and adopt appropriate business opportunities. We presently have a small management team which we intend to expand in conjunction with our planned operations and growth. We will have to ensure that management and any key employees are appropriately compensated; however, their services cannot be guaranteed. If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel, our business may be adversely affected.

Uncertain outcomes during clinical testing.
 
Outcomes of clinical trials for new products, if required, may produce unexpected or undesired results that may either delay or entirely halt a product from reaching the market. This would materially impact our product development costs. If a product does not survive the clinical testing phase, our entire investment in that product would be invalidated and entirely negated. In addition, delays in clinical trials would mean our products would not reach our end users for an indeterminate period, which would negatively affect our revenue.
 
Clinical trials may be delayed for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to delays in obtaining a potential test site to commence or continue a study, delays in reaching agreement on acceptable clinical study terms with prospective sites, and delays in recruiting patients to participate in a study.
 
We may not be able to adequately protect our technologies or intellectual property rights.
 
Our commercial success will depend in part on obtaining and maintaining patent protection and trade secret protection of our technologies and product candidates as well as successfully defending these patents against third-party challenges. We will only be able to protect our technologies and product candidates from unauthorized use by third parties to the extent that valid and enforceable patents or trade secrets cover them. Furthermore, the degree of future protection of our proprietary rights is uncertain because legal means afford only limited protection and may not adequately protect our rights or permit us to gain or keep our competitive advantage.
 
RISKS RELATED TO OUR INDUSTRY

The healthcare industry is subject to extensive government regulation, which can result in increased costs, delays, limits on its operating flexibility and competitive disadvantages.
 
While we intend to concentrate on over-the-counter and nonprescription type healthcare products, the healthcare industry is generally subject to extensive regulatory requirements.  Many of these requirements result in significant costs that may adversely affect our business and financial results.  If we are unable to pass those costs on, it would negatively impact our profit margin.
 
 Recently enacted healthcare insurance legislation may lead to unintended adverse effects for businesses involved in our industry. Massive new legislation that gives the Federal government greater regulatory powers may lead to negative consequences for certain aspects of our business. The full scope of the recently passed healthcare legislation may not be felt for several years, it is therefore difficult to predict any future consequences that would be challenges to our Company, or if we can overcome them.
 
Failure to comply with laws or government regulations could result in penalties.
 
Certain government requirements for technologies in the healthcare market may require licensure or mandatory minimum standards relating to the provision of services. Failure to comply with these requirements could materially affect our ability to expand into new or existing markets. Future regulatory developments may also cause disruptions to our operations.

Competition in health and beauty care products may have an adverse impact on our financial results.

The health and beauty care market is highly competitive, and we may be unable to sustain our business model in this industry. We compete against a healthy number of large and established brands, many of which have greater sources of capital and channels of distribution. In addition, many of these well-known competitive brands have significantly larger marketing budgets to promote their products, and have far more flexibility to respond to changing business and economic conditions than we do.
 
There is further risk in that our retail distributors, once established, frequently reassess the allocation of display space and could elect to reduce the display space allocated to our products, if our marketing strategies are less effective than planned, or if our products fail to connect with our target consumer.  Any significant loss of display space could have an adverse effect on our financial results.
 
RISKS RELATING TO OUR ORGANIZATION
 
We are subject to the reporting requirements of the federal securities laws, which can be expensive.
 
We are a public reporting company and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and other federal and state securities laws, including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders increase our operating costs.
 
It is time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures. If we are unable to comply with the internal controls requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we may not be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications required by that Act.

Failure to achieve and maintain effective disclosure controls or internal controls could have a material adverse effect on our ability to report our financial results timely and accurately.
 
As result of our analysis of our system of internal accounting controls and accounting and financial reporting processes, we have identified a material weakness in our disclosure controls and internal controls. This is more specifically discussed in Item 9A of this Annual Report. As a result of this deficiency, we must perform additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to insure that our financial statements are prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, we will incur expenses and devote significant management resources to this review process. Furthermore, effective internal controls and procedures are necessary for us to continue to provide reliable financial reports. If we continue to have material weaknesses in our internal controls and procedures, we may not be able to provide reliable financial reports and our business and operating results could be harmed.     
 
Public company compliance requirements may make it more difficult to attract and retain officers and directors.
 
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and rules subsequently implemented by the SEC have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. Compliance with the new rules and regulations increases our operating costs and makes certain activities more time consuming and costly than if we were not a public company. As a public company, these new rules and regulations make it more difficult and expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our Board of Directors or as executive officers.
 
There exist risks to stockholders relating to dilution: authorization of additional securities and reduction of percentage share ownership following investment.
 
To the extent that additional shares of common stock are issued, the stockholders would experience dilution of their respective ownership interests in the Company. Additionally, if the Company issues a substantial number of shares of common stock in connection with or following an investment, a change in control of the Company may occur which may affect, among other things, the Company's ability to utilize net operating loss carry forwards, if any. Furthermore, the issuance of a substantial number of shares of common stock may adversely affect prevailing market prices, if any, for the common stock and could impair the Company's ability to raise additional capital through the sale of its equity securities. The Company may use consultants and other third parties providing goods and services or additional capital . These consultants or third parties may be paid in cash, stock, options or other securities of the Company, and the consultants or third parties may be Placement Agents or their affiliates.
 
RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK
 
Our stock price may be volatile.
 
The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:
 
 
·
changes in the healthcare industry;
 
·
competitive pricing pressures;
 
·
our ability to obtain working capital financing;
 
·
additions or departures of key personnel;
 
·
limited “public float”, in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales, could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on the market price for our common stock;
 
·
our ability to execute our business plan;
 
·
operating results that fall below expectations;
 
·
loss of any strategic relationship;
 
·
regulatory developments;
 
·
economic and other external factors; and
 
·
period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results.
 
In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies.  These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
 
We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.
 
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting us at such time as our board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.

There is currently no liquid trading market for our common stock and we cannot ensure that one will ever develop or be sustained.
 
To date there has been an illiquid trading market for our common stock on the OTC BB for companies that are current in their reporting obligations to the SEC. We cannot predict how liquid the market for our common stock might become. Although we are not presently eligible, we intend to apply for listing of our common stock on either The Nasdaq Capital Market or other national securities exchanges if and when we meet the requirements for listing. We cannot ensure that we will be able to satisfy such listing standards or that our common stock will be accepted for listing on any of these exchanges. Should the Company fail to satisfy the initial listing standards of the exchanges, or our common stock is otherwise rejected for listing and remain listed on the OTC BB or suspended from the OTC BB, the trading price of our common stock could suffer and the trading market for our common stock may be less liquid and our common stock price may be subject to increased volatility.
 
Our common stock is deemed a “penny stock”, which may make it more difficult for our investors to sell their shares.
 
Our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The penny stock rules apply to companies whose common stock is not listed on a national securities exchange and trades at less than $5.00 per share or that have tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If we remain subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for our securities. In as much as our securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our securities. 
 
Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.
 
If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or upon the expiration of any holding period under Rule 144, or expiration of lock-up periods applicable to outstanding shares, or issued upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” and in anticipation of which the market price of our common stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make more difficult our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
 
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under ‘Risk Factors’ and elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K.
 
Spring Creek Healthcare Systems, Inc.  (“Spring Creek” or the “Company”) is a healthcare company whose business plan is to distribute novel solutions for the medical, pharmaceutical and healthcare markets to resellers and consumers worldwide. Spring Creek actively pursues emerging opportunities in the healthcare industry by selecting young start-up and micro-cap companies with innovative concepts and launching their products and services utilizing a marketing distribution network including one of its subsidiaries, Stratis Healthcare, Inc. (“Stratis”).

Spring Creek was a closed-end management investment company that in April 2009 elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”).  The Company was originally formed in May 2006 to engage in the exploration of mineral properties for copper and other metals; however, as a result of the April 2009 change in our business plan to be a specialty investment company, the mining operations were discontinued.  We conducted operations as a BDC from April 23, 2009 through December 31, 2009. During this time, we acquired or established the Company’s  initial interests in healthcare companies by acquiring equity stakes in or starting development stage companies in this industry. We also completed two minority equity investments in companies that we believed to be strategic to our mission.
 
In February 2010, our Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock authorized management to withdraw the election to be regulated as a BDC. This decision was in part prompted by the actuality that the majority of the our resources were allocated to managing the operating activities of our holdings and, in addition, management found that we may not have been in compliance with certain BDC provisions of the 1940 Act.  On July 7, 2010, we filed an Information Statement with the SEC providing notice of shareholder action in lieu of a Meeting of Shareholders, taken pursuant to the written consent of certain shareholders, referred to as the consenting shareholders. Specifically, the consenting shareholders approved the withdrawal of our election to be a BDC. This action became effective on August 17, 2010 when we filed the applicable Notice concerning the withdrawal with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Further, in recognition of the change in the Company’s operations we changed our name from Spring Creek Capital Corp. to Spring Creek Healthcare Systems, Inc., effective as of September 30, 2010.
 
As a result of the decision to withdraw our election to be treated as a BDC and become an operating company, the fundamental nature of our business changed from that of investing in a portfolio of securities with the goal of achieving gains on appreciation and dividend income, to that of being actively engaged in the ownership and management of a holding company with the goal of generating income from the  operations of those businesses.  The decision to withdraw our election as a BDC under the 1940 Act necessitated a significant change in our method of accounting. We formerly utilized the BDC financial statement presentation and that accounting utilized the value method of accounting used by investment companies, which allows BDCs to recognize income and value their investments at market value as opposed to historical cost.  As an operating company, we were required to adopt the financial statement presentation and accounting for securities held which provides for either fair value or historical cost methods of accounting, depending on the classification of the investment and our intent with respect to the period of time we intend to hold the investment.  This change in our method of accounting could impact the market value of our investments in privately held companies by eliminating our ability to report an increase in value of our holdings as the increase occurs.  As an operating company, the Company, effective December 31, 2009, consolidated our financial statements with our controlled subsidiaries, thus eliminating the portfolio company reporting benefits available to BDCs.

Business Plan
 
 Our core strategy is to acquire or develop innovative solutions in the field of healthcare and to grow our business. To accomplish this, we will:
 
*        Actively pursue emerging opportunities in the healthcare sector with high growth potential;
 
*        Exploit our global marketing and distribution infrastructure to reach our target markets;

*        Establish trust in our brands in the minds of consumers;
 
*        Schedule the launch of our products and services to coincide with the most opportune periods; and

*        Increase our cash flow and profits.

In addition, we will need capital sufficient to maintain operations and complete acquisitions in order to advance our objectives.
 
We believe that, through the experience of our management and directors, we have solid channels from which we may distribute our products and substantial resources to potentially generate a number of new opportunities for our Company. However, there can be no guarantee such relationships will lead to the origination of new products, acquisitions, or investments.  Our current product lines include:
 
DelRx Pharmaceuticals has developed a proprietary drug delivery technology for the transmucosal (the cavity between the cheek and gum) administration of large molecule drugs as a liquid dispersion, e.g., peptides like insulin, monoclonal, antibodies, hormones, vaccines and other proteins.  Currently, these macro-molecular drugs cannot be administered orally, and are instead injected, usually with a needle and syringe or by intravenous infusion. Utilizing this innovative delivery system, DelRx can provide better stability and may reduce the side effects seen with certain nasal delivery and inhalation methods. Two initial product lines are planned based on DelRx Pharmaceuticals’ patented IP portfolio. The first is the buccal delivery of insulin and the second is for treatment of osteoporosis pain management with fentanyl citrate.

Debride has licensed a patent pending drug product which represents a fundamentally new combination approach to the topical treatment of open wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers, venous stasis or decubitus ulcers (bed sores). The product can be developed as a prescription drug for the treatment of bed sores but has potential in other clinical indications, even in over-the-counter concentrations that could treat wounds, burns and various skin irritations, including rashes and insect bites.

Ecological Solutions has licensed the rights to manufactures a homeopathic insect repellent whose formulation is free of Deet. Deet is a commonly used ingredient in insect repellents that some consider to be too toxic for use on human skin.
 
In March 2011, the Company made its initial foray into the “Health and Beauty” segment of the healthcare market and formed a partially-owned subsidiary, Sashiel Beauty, Inc.  Sashiel will specialize in developing premium cosmetic skincare products for effective skincare with a value oriented approach.  Sashiel currently licenses two consumer products sold under the brand Reversital® - Microderma Stick® Face, Throat, Decolleté, and Microderma Stick® Body, Elbows, Feet. Microderma Stick® is a microdermabrasion resurfacing stick with active moisturizers made to cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturize all in one dial-up application.  It is portable, easy to hold, and can reduce observable fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, age spots, damage from UVA/UVB rays, skin discoloration and dry skin. The introductory product lines include a 2oz. resurfacing stick for sensitive and normal skin types and a 3oz. resurfacing stick for all skin types.
 
Current Economic Environment
 
              The U.S. economy is currently in a recession. Consumer confidence continued to deteriorate and unemployment figures continued to increase during 2010.  However, in recent months, certain economic indicators have shown modest improvements. The generally deteriorating economic situation, together with the limited availability of debt and equity capital, including through bank financing, will likely have a disproportionate impact on the micro-cap companies.  As a result, we may not be able to execute our business plan as a result of inability to raise sufficient capital and/or be able to develop a customer base for our planned products.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate the continuation of the Company as a going concern.  This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of our assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  Since our formation, we have not generated any revenues. The Company has not as yet attained a level of operations that allows us to meet our current overhead and may not attain profitable operations within its first few business operating cycles, nor is there any assurance that such an operating level can ever be achieved. The Company is dependent upon obtaining additional financing adequate to fund its operations. While we have funded our initial operations with private placements and secured loans from a related party, there can be no assurance that adequate financing will continue to be available to the Company and, if available, on terms that are favorable to us.   Our ability to continue as a going concern is also dependent on many events outside of our direct control, including, among other things, improvement in the economic climate.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Results of Operations

Year Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to Year Ended December31, 2009
 
Expenses during the year ended December 31, 2010 aggregated $3.1 million versus $2.3 million in the prior. Other income during 2010 principally relates to the gain on the sale of our minority interest in an affiliate.

 Our primary operating expenses include the payment of:  (i) consulting fees under arrangements to fund costs related to personnel, advisors as well as other administrative expenses; (ii) interest on borrowings; and (ii) professional services including legal, accounting and transfer agent.  Each year was impacted by non-cash charges as follows:  $2.6 million (2010) principally related to non-cash compensation and $1.8 million (2009) principally related to finance costs. The non-cash charges principally relate to fair value accounting for the stock and option awards for compensation and warrants issued in connection with debt issuances. The increase in non-cash charges in 2010 resulted from the issuance of equity awards to compensate officers and other consultants for services to the Company. The decrease in cash used in operations was the result of a reduction in the use of professionals due to the change in from the BDC status.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
            As of December 31, 2010, the Company had a negative working capital of $925,000 and a stockholders’ deficiency of $595,000. Since inception, we generated net cash proceeds of $126,000 from equity placements and borrowed $494,000 from a related party (net of a repayment of $50,000) and from others $120,500 (net of repayment of $9,500). The Company has not as yet attained a level of operations that allows it to meet its current overhead and may not attain profitable operations within next few business operating cycles, nor is there any assurance that such an operating level can ever be achieved. The Company is dependent upon obtaining additional financing adequate to fund the development of our new product lines. The report of our auditors on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 includes a reference to going concern risks.  While the Company has funded its initial operations with private placements, became a publicly owned entity and secured loans from a related party, there can be no assurance that adequate financing will continue to be available to the Company and, if available, on terms that are favorable to the Company.  Our ability to continue as a going concern is also dependent on many events outside of our direct control, including, among other things, our ability to achieve our business goals and objectives, as well as improvement in the economic climate.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 Cash Flows

The Company’s cash on hand at December 31, 2010 and, 2009 was $1,000 and $4,000, respectively.

Operating cash flows:   We had no operating sources of cash in 2010 and 2009.  The decrease in the cash used in operations in 2010 versus the prior year principally relates to the reduction in the expense related to consultants as a result of the discontinuance of the BDC status.

Investing cash flows:   The Company used cash of $39,000 (2010) and $40,000 (2009) in connection with its affiliated companies.

Financing cash flows:   Net cash generated from financing of $283,000, in 2010, principally consists of net proceeds from loans, including $162,000 from a related party.  Net cash provided by financing activities for the prior year was $332,000, which represents proceeds from loans from a related party, net of a repayment of $50,000.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of December 31, 2010, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following items as critical accounting policies.
  
The Company uses the equity method of accounting for its investments in entities in which it has significant influence; generally, this represents an ownership interest of between 20% and 50%. The Company uses the cost method of accounting for investments in equity securities in which it has a less than 20% equity interest and virtually no influence over the investee's operations.

Application of the cost method requires the Company to periodically review this investment in order to determine whether to maintain the current carrying value or to write off some or all of the investment. While the Company uses some objective measurements in its review, the review process involves a number of judgments on the part of the Company's management. These judgments include assessments of the likelihood of the investments to obtain additional financing, to achieve future milestones, make sales and to compete effectively in its markets. In making these judgments, the Company must also attempt to anticipate trends in the industries as well as in the general economy. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be accurate in its assessments and judgments. To the extent that the Company is not correct in its conclusion, it may decide to write down all or part of the investment.

The Company has recorded as intangibles amounts representing the rights we have obtained to technology, know-how, trademarks and etc. based upon the amounts the Company had previously recorded for the assets exchanged for the rights or the market value of its common stock given as consideration.  In the opinion of management the valuation of the assets given in exchange for the rights are representative of the value as the assets and based upon the Company’s current plans for these rights there has been no diminution in their value.

 We used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options in connection with stock based compensation charges as well as certain finance cost charges when we issued warrants in connection with the issuance of indebtedness.. The determination of the fair value of stock-based payment awards or warrants on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends.
 
Due to our limited history as a public company, we have estimated expected volatility based on the historical volatility of certain companies as determined by management. The risk-free rate for the expected term of each option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The dividend yield assumption is based on our intent not to issue a dividend as a dividend policy. Due to our limited operating history, management estimated the term to equal the contractual term.

If factors change and we employ different assumptions for estimating stock-based compensation expense in future periods or if we decide to use a different valuation model, the future periods may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period and could materially affect our operating income, net income and net income per share.

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that are fully transferable. In addition, option-pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because our stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion the existing models may not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.
 
The Company accounts for income taxes using a method that requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of temporary differences that currently exist between tax bases and financial reporting bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities (commonly known as the asset and liability method). In assessing the ability to realize deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
 
The Company evaluates its tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are ‘‘more-likely-than-not’’ of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are recorded as an expense in the applicable year.   The Company does not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. Management’s evaluation of uncertain tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon factors including, but not limited to, an on-going analysis of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

ITEM 9A: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company is in the process of implementing disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ‘‘Exchange Act’’), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer  and Chief Financial Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of December 31, 2010, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an assessment of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b).  As of the date of this assessment, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2010 because of the material weakness described below.
 
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed additional accounting and financial analyses and other post-closing procedures, including detailed validation work with regard to balance sheet account balances, additional analysis on income statement amounts and managerial review of all significant account balances and disclosures in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, to ensure that the Company’s Annual Report and the financial statements forming part thereof are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this Annual Report fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the interim or annual financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010. In performing its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, management applied the criteria described in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (‘‘COSO’’).

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
 
The material weakness identified during management's assessment was the lack of sufficient resources with SEC, generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and tax accounting expertise.  This control deficiency did not result in audit adjustments to the Company’s 2010 annual or interim financial statements.  However, this control deficiency could result in a material misstatement of significant accounts or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the Company’s interim or annual financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.  Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
 
Because of the material weakness, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on the criteria in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

 Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance
 
We currently have directors’ and officers’ liability insurance insuring our directors and officers against liability for acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers, subject to certain exclusions.  Such insurance also insures us against losses that we may incur in indemnifying our officers and directors.  In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with key officers and directors and such persons shall also have indemnification rights under applicable laws, and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws.
 
Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics within the meaning of Item 406(b) of Regulation S-K of the Exchange Act. This Code of Ethics applies to directors and senior officers, such as the principal executive officer, principal financial officer and persons performing similar functions.. Our Code of Ethics is available as Exhibit 14 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
Committees
 
The Board of Directors appointed an audit committee and compensation committee, and adopted charters relative to the audit committee. We appoint persons to committees of the Board of Directors who we believe meet the corporate governance requirements imposed by a national securities exchange, although we are not required to comply with such requirements until we elect to seek listing on a national securities exchange.  Currently, Mr. Rifenburgh   qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” within the meaning of SEC Regulation S-K, Item 407(d)(5).
 
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. These persons are required by regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file. Based on our review, we believe that, during fiscal 2010, all of our current officers and directors were late in complying with the applicable filing requirements and that former officers and directors and greater than ten percent owners have not complied with the applicable filing requirements.
 

Communications with the Board of Directors
 
Stockholders may communicate with the Board of Directors by sending a letter to Spring Creek Healthcare Systems, Inc. Board of Directors, c/o Jan E. Chason, Chief Financial Officer, 120 Wall Street, Suite 2401, New York, NY 10005.  Mr. Chason will receive the correspondence and forward it to the Chairman or to any individual director or directors to whom the communication is directed, unless the communication is unduly hostile, threatening, and illegal, does not reasonably relate to the Company or its business, or is similarly inappropriate.  The Chief Financial Officer has the authority to discard or disregard any inappropriate communications or to take other appropriate actions with respect to any such inappropriate communications.

Applicable percentage of total voting stock is based on 36,493,893 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on April 11, 2011. We have determined the number of shares beneficially owned by each stockholder under rules promulgated by the SEC. The information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the individual or entity has sole or shared voting or investment power and any shares as to which the individual or entity has the right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days after April 11, 2011 through the exercise of any stock option, warrant or other right. The inclusion in the following table of those shares, however, does not constitute an admission that the named stockholder is a direct or indirect beneficial owner.

ITEM 13: CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
During 2010, we borrowed an aggregate of $162,000 from LeadDog Capital LP through issuances of notes payable for periods of 6 to 27 months with interest payable at 16% per year.  LeadDog Capital LP and its affiliates, including Roadrunner Capital Group, LLC, are shareholders and warrant holders; however, the group is restricted from becoming a beneficial owner (as such term is defined under Section 13(d) and Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “1934 Act”)), of the Company’s common stock, which would be greater than 9.9% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding.

Except for the foregoing, none of our directors, officers, any proposed nominee for election as a director, any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all of our outstanding shares, any promoter, or any relative or spouse of any of the foregoing persons has any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction since our incorporation or in any presently proposed transaction which, in either case, has or will materially affect us.
 
Our management is involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities. If a specific business opportunity becomes available, such persons may face a conflict in selecting between our business and their other business interests. In the event that a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of our directors, a director who has such a conflict will disclose his interest in a proposed transaction and will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such transaction.

           We understand the need for the accounting firm to maintain objectivity and independence in its audit of our financial statements.  To minimize relationships that could appear to impair their objectivity, our Audit Committee has restricted the non-audit services that they may provide to us.

The Audit Committee also has adopted policies for pre-approving all non-audit work performed by the accounting firm who audits the Company’s financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 

 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Spring Creek Healthcare Systems, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company):

 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Spring Creek Healthcare Systems, Inc. (a Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from inception (May 11, 2006) to December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We did not audit the financial statements of Spring Creek Healthcare Systems, Inc. for the periods from inception (May 11, 2006) to December 31, 2008.  Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us and our opinion, in so far as it relates to amounts for the period of inception to December 31, 2008 included in the cumulative totals, is based solely upon the report of the other auditors.
 
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 audits 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, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Spring Creek Healthcare Systems, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company is in the development stage, has incurred losses from operations since its inception and has a net stockholders’ deficiency.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SPRING CREEK HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.  Organization and Basis of Preparation

Spring Creek Healthcare Systems, Inc. (formerly Spring Creek Capital Corp.) (“Spring Creek” or the “Company”) is a healthcare company whose business plan is to distribute novel solutions for the medical, pharmaceutical and healthcare markets to resellers and consumers worldwide. Spring Creek actively pursues emerging opportunities in the healthcare industry by selecting young start-up and micro-cap companies with innovative concepts and launching their products and services utilizing the marketing distribution network of its principal subsidiary, Stratis Healthcare, Inc. (“Stratis”).

Spring Creek was a closed-end management investment company which in April 2009 elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”).  The Company was originally formed in May 2006 to engage in the exploration of mineral properties for copper and other metals; however, as a result of the April 2009 change in business plan to be a specialty investment company, the mining operations were discontinued.  The Company conducted operations as a BDC from April 23, 2009 through December 31, 2009.  During this time, Spring Creek acquired or established its initial interests in healthcare companies by acquiring equity stakes in or starting development stage companies in this industry. The Company also completed two minority equity investments in companies that it believed to be strategic to its mission.
 
In February 2010, our Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock authorized management to withdraw the election to be regulated as a BDC.  This decision was in part prompted by the actuality that the majority of the Company’s resources were allocated to managing the operating activities of its holdings and, in addition, management found that the Company may not have been in compliance with certain BDC provisions of the 1940 Act.  On July 7, 2010, the Company filed an Information Statement with the SEC providing notice of shareholder action in lieu of a Meeting of Shareholders, taken pursuant to the written consent of certain shareholders, referred to as the consenting shareholders.  Specifically, the consenting shareholders approved the withdrawal of the Company’s election to be a BDC.  This action became effective on August 17, 2010 when the Company filed the applicable Notice concerning the withdrawal with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Further, in recognition of the change in its operations, the Company changed its name to Spring Creek Healthcare Systems, Inc., effective as of September 30, 2010.
 
As a result of the decision to withdraw the Company’s election to be treated as a BDC and become an operating company, the fundamental nature of the Company’s business changed from that of investing in a portfolio of securities with the goal of achieving gains on appreciation and dividend income, to that of being actively engaged in the ownership and management of a holding company with the goal of generating income from the operations of those businesses.  The decision to withdraw the Company’s election as a BDC under the 1940 Act necessitated a significant change in the Company’s method of accounting.  The Company formerly utilized the BDC financial statement presentation and that accounting utilized the value method of accounting used by investment companies, which allows BDCs to recognize income and value their investments at market value as opposed to historical cost.  As an operating company, the Company was required to adopt the financial statement presentation and accounting for securities held which provides for either fair value or historical cost methods of accounting, depending on the classification of the investment and the Company’s intent with respect to the period of time it intends to hold the investment.  This change in the Company’s method of accounting could impact the market value of its investments in privately held companies by eliminating the Company’s ability to report an increase in the value of its holdings as the increase occurs.  As an operating company, the Company, effective December 31, 2009, consolidated its financial statements with its controlled subsidiaries, thus eliminating the portfolio company reporting benefits available to BDCs.
 
The Company intends to distribute and market products and technologies in the healthcare sector.  Spring Creek’s principal operating subsidiary is Stratis, whose primary business is to distribute products to resellers and customers worldwide either directly, through distributors or through multi-channel resources.  Stratis will utilize strategic partnerships to warehouse, provide inventory control/monitoring, and distribute new Spring Creek products on a global basis.  Systems and processes will be designed to be efficient and repeatable so as to allow Spring Creek to implement cost-effective solutions for the distribution of medical products throughout its portfolio.   In 2010, the Company incorporated 2 new subsidiaries that are 51%-owned by the Company to market the products obtained through licensing arrangements for an oral spray technology for delivery of over-the-counter and prescription medications, including oral insulin through the buccal mucosa, and a topical therapy treatment for open wounds such as venous statis or decubitus ulcers.  In March 2011, the Company agreed to license the rights to market the ReVersital® family of microdermabrasion products and all of its proprietary line extensions.  Once the Company begins its commercialization of these rights, the Company will terminate the development stage presentation for its consolidated financial statements.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate the continuation of the Company as a going concern.  This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company since its formation has not generated any significant revenues. The Company has not as yet attained a level of operations which allows it to meet its current overhead and may not attain profitable operations within its first few business operating cycles, nor is there any assurance that such an operating level can ever be achieved.  The Company is dependent upon obtaining additional financing adequate to fund its operations. While the Company has funded its initial operations with private placements and secured loans from a related party, there can be no assurance that adequate financing will continue to be available to the Company and, if available, on terms that are favorable to the Company.   The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is also dependent on many events outside of its direct control, including, among other things, improvement in the economic climate.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 2.  Significant Accounting Policies
 
Consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as of the dates and for the fiscal years indicated.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. Changes in the economic environment, financial markets, as well as in the healthcare industry and any other parameters used in determining these estimates, could cause actual results to differ. 
 
Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company may place its cash with various financial institutions and, at times, cash held in depository accounts at such institutions may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limit.

Equity and Cost Method Investments in Portfolio Companies

The Company uses the equity method of accounting for its investments in entities in which it has significant influence; generally, this represents an ownership interest of between 20% and 50%. The Company uses the cost method of accounting for investments in equity securities in which it has a less than 20% equity interest and virtually no influence over the investee's operations.

Application of the cost method requires the Company to periodically review its investments in order to determine whether to maintain the current carrying value or to write off some or all of the investment.  While the Company uses some objective measurements in its review, the review process involves a number of judgments on the part of the Company's management.  These judgments include assessments of the likelihood of the investments to obtain additional financing, to achieve future milestones, make sales and to compete effectively in its markets. In making these judgments, the Company must also attempt to anticipate trends in the industries as well as in the general economy. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be accurate in its assessments and judgments. To the extent that the Company is not correct in its conclusion, it may decide to write down all or part of the investment.

Securities Held for Sale

The company's investments in marketable equity securities are held for an indefinite period and thus are classified as available for sale. Unrealized holding gains or losses on such securities are charged to or credited to other comprehensive income.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes using a method that requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of temporary differences that currently exist between tax bases and financial reporting bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities (commonly known as the asset and liability method).  In assessing the ability to realize deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
 
The Company evaluates its tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are ‘‘more-likely-than-not’’ of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are recorded as an expense in the applicable year.   The Company does not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. Management’s evaluation of uncertain tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based upon factors including, but not limited to, an on-going analysis of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.
 
As of December 31, 2010, the Company has approximately $5.1million of net operating loss carry-forwards available to affect future taxable income and has established a valuation allowance equal to the tax benefit of the net operating loss carry- forwards and temporary differences as realization of the asset is not assured.

Revenue Recognition
 
Upon initiation of active operations, the Company will recognize revenues when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product has been delivered or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue will be recognized net of estimated sales returns and allowances.

Per Share Information
 
Basic earnings per share are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period presented. Diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share, as the effect of potentially dilutive securities (options and warrants to acquire 3,950,000 and 2,470,000 shares of common stock, respectively) are anti-dilutive, and has no impact on the consolidated results of operations presented.

New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

During the fiscal first quarter of 2010, the Company adopted the FASB standard related to variable interest entities.
 
During the fiscal first quarter of 2010, the Company adopted the new accounting guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures. This guidance requires the Company to disclose the amount of significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 inputs and the reasons for these transfers as well as the reasons for any transfers in or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, the guidance clarifies certain existing disclosure requirements.
 
The adoption of each of the above standards did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards,
Not Adopted as of December 31, 2010

During the fiscal first quarter of 2010 the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) guidance and amendments related to the accounting for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. These new rules amend the existing guidance for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements and establish a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable.
 
During the fiscal second quarter of 2010 the FASB issued an accounting standard update related to revenue recognition under the milestone method. The objective of the accounting standard update is to provide guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development transactions. This guidance was effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010.
 
The adoption of these standards is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
 
Note 3.  Available for Sale Securities
 
On July 12, 2010, the Company exchanged its minority interest in BioCube, Inc. ("BioCube") for 2 million shares of common stock of Alliance Network Communications, Inc. ("Alliance") in connection with a transaction in which BioCube became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alliance. Alliance subsequently changed its name to BioCube, Inc.  The Company accounted for its investment in Alliance in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 320 - Investments and accordingly classified the investment as available for sale and recorded the investment at its fair value as of the acquisition date ($360,000), which resulted in a gain of $365,000.  Adjustments to the carrying value for subsequent changes in fair value are recorded as unrealized gains or losses in other comprehensive income in the consolidated statement of stockholders’ deficiency.  As a result of the decrease in the fair value during the period subsequent to July 12, 2010 through December 31, 2010, the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $300,000.

Note 4.  Intangibles

Intangibles as of December 31, 2010 consist of the following:
 
License for “Insect Repellent Composition Containing Essential Oils”
 
$

(“Eco-Blends”) for a fully paid, royalty-free, perpetual, transferrable license to use all of the formulations set forth in the pending application for a patent under the name “Insect Repellent Composition Containing Essential Oils”.  Additionally, the Company forgave all amounts due for management fees, loans, interest and all other amounts due from Eco-Blends.  As a result, the Company recorded an intangible of $82,000 by transferring the following amounts which had been previously recorded as advances and investments in Eco-Blends:

NOTE 9: Fair Value Measurements
 
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States define fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  Additionally, the inputs used to measure fair value are prioritized based on a three-level hierarchy. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
 
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. We value assets and liabilities included in this level using dealer and broker quotations, bid prices, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
 
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements
 
In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. For our Company, the only assets and liabilities that are adjusted to fair value on a recurring basis values the Company investment which was classified as available for sale and valued using Level 1 inputs (see Note 3.)
