PART I
 
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

General

Exergetic Energy, Inc., was founded on May 27, 2010 as a Michigan corporation, and was created to improve upon and expand the various energy options/resources available for prospective customers.  While specializing in both renewable and efficient non-renewable sources, Exergetic believes itself to be well positioned to capitalize upon the opportunities that are taking place as the world moves to a more enlightened stance on energy consumption.

Company Overview

As a full service energy company Exergetic Energy, Inc (“Exergetic”) has with its’ tripartite organizational structure the means to address a myriad of different energy challenges facing our customers.  Represented by three distinct divisions: Non-Renewables, Renewables & Energy Optimization, Exergetic is a solutions provider for a myriad of different energy solutions. The three main divisions that exist within Exergetic possess the following strategic objectives:

·  
Provide innovative technology driven solutions that meet our client’s needs and align with the larger US Energy Plan as defined by the Obama Administration.
 
·  
Leverage our expertise in government contract work via Small Business Administrations’ 8A program in order to provide efficient, clean energy solutions to the Departments of Defense and Energy, respectively.
 
·  
Expand the use of renewable energy sources into mainstream customer applications per the use of smart device technology
 
·  
Continue to develop/market/manufacture leading edge technology for the vast array of energy needs that occur within the residential and commercial arenas at optimum price points
 
Our executive offices are located at 440 Burroughs Site 386, Detroit, Michigan 48202. Our telephone number is (313) 378-0834.  The company maintains its website at www.exergeticenergy.com.

Competition
 
Exergetic is an amalgam of three distinct energy related business units.  As such, each division has its own set of unique opportunities and challenges.

RENEWABLE ENERGY DIVISION

The Renewable Energy division is focused on the design & installation of solar panel systems per the use of photovoltaic (PV) DC/AC inverters.  Exergetic has its’ own proprietary inverter technology for this industry.  And while the majority of global solar panel demand is supplied by the China, the company feels that a niche exist especially in the US market for the manufacture and production of solar power inverters.  Furthermore, the lack of an international standard creates regional markets for inverters.  In the U.S., regulations are particularly burdensome for manufacturers.  Regulations differ across PV markets.  Regulations for grid-connected PV inverters vary across countries.  Requirements are generally believed to be the most stringent in the United States.  International manufacturers who want to serve this market need to design models specifically for the United States in order to meet regulations.  This lack of uniformity creates regional markets, making it extremely difficult for manufacturers to create a global product.

Nearly 75% of the entire US photovoltaic market is supplied by production from just three manufacturers.  The following three companies have US subsidiaries, which are responsible for the production and supply of the photovoltaic market in the US: (1) SMA Solar Technology AG (headquartered in Germany), Xantrex Corporation out of Vancouver, CN and Osaka-Sharp from Japan constitute the major suppliers in this industry.   Exergetic views this lack of indigenous manufacturing capabilities of US based companies to be a major opportunity that we intend to capitalize upon while striving to become the largest US manufacture and supply of power inverters to the global marketplace.

ENERGY OPTIMIZATION DIVISION

The Energy Optimization division, which operates under the Exergetic name, has an orientation within the energy management and efficiency arena.  The energy optimization industry functions as the backbone of the entire energy economy.  Whether customers desire solar or fossil power energy sources; the government now mandates that all energy delivery systems be efficient and optimized. The company offers a unique array of services that combine quality engineering standards, such as ISO certification standards,  along with Certified Energy Management techniques. In doing so, we are the first company to offer such a holistic array of services all designed to coalesce quality engineering with energy management.  Exergetic believes that it stands poised to be a market leader in this hybrid industry and believes that others will follow in this direction as energy management specialist realize that overall system optimization cannot be achieved without quality engineering design and implementation methodologies.

The philosophy behind accelerating the growth of our consulting services is focused on leveraging existing relationships with firms and agencies focused on sustainable development through ISO standards and Energy Management in order to expand their offering beyond management systems to include design and implementation capabilities.  Specifically, Exergetic can augment existing consulting firms’ core competencies, thus allowing them to offer their clients the services of:
 
• 
Certified energy manager review/certification of systems, processes, facilities and products
• 
Energy Auditing
• 
Engineering Design Expertise
• 
Design construction and implementation expertise

The energy auditing services offered by Exergetic are suitable for all types of facilities, whether residential, commercial or industrial. Our energy auditors are certified through the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE) and our point auditing system is based on American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) auditing standards.  Based on the facility investigated each audit will include a specialized combination of the following services:
 
• 
Thermographic Infrared Scanning: measures surface temperatures by using infrared video and still cameras. These tools see light that is in the heat spectrum. Images on the video or film record the temperature variations of the building's skin.  It is also used to determine effectiveness of insulation.
• 
PFT Air Filtration Test: this test determines the air filtration profile over a period of time (a few hours to several months).
• 
Blower Door Test: this test locates air filtration by depressurizing building envelope.
• 
Building Envelope Evaluation: measures heat flow through walls, roofs, foundations, windows in order to determination maximum heat gradients across all surfaces
• 
Water Conservation Evaluation: measures pressure head and water flux through all faucets in a particular facility.
• 
Complete Energy System Inspection: including lighting systems,HVAC systems, &  hot water system

In assessing the energy optimization marketplace that exists both locally in Michigan and on the national level, the Company believes that this should be a prime area of focus.  However, most companies that offer energy auditing services do so as an extension of their building & construction firm, such is the case for local competitors, Bestech Energy Systems in Oakland County and Michigan Energy Audits LLC of Clarkston, MI.  Nationally, the same observation can be made of such players like The Hines Group, a global real estate development and property management firm and BEI & Associates, a large architectural & design engineering firm, that was hired to perform energy assessments at the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center in Detroit, MI.

We believe that Exergetic will have a competitive advantage arising from our core technical training--since the company was founded by Mechanical Engineers, we understand the true technological principles that undergird this “new” field of interest.  However, energy optimization isn’t really new at all, it is governed by the fundamental laws of thermodynamics and the adherence to these laws defines the laws of physics!  Our team has over 35 years of experience developing thermodynamic systems for  a myriad of applications and have been performing the task of “energy optimization” for several decades, now.  Our Energy Optimization Division provides interpretations and insights not found with the use of standard diagnostic tools—thus building individual solutions for individual clients based on principles of science.

In fact, the concept of this primary service offering, the Energy Educator Program, was borne out of a meeting that Exergetic held on July 29, 2010 with the Executive Director of the Detroit Wayne Joint Bldg. Authority (DWJBA).  The DWJBA received a 2008 ENERGY STAR Label on behalf of its efforts to reduce energy consumption and implement smart business practices at the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center and Exergetic conducted this meeting to garner a first-hand overview of the potential for energy optimization in the Greater Detroit Metropolitan Area.  The Executive Director stated that while there were definitely a significant number of companies engaged in the business of energy auditing and optimization, there were currently no suppliers of the energy optimization technology training that the user needs in order  to be able to understand, operate, sustain and realize the energy savings opportunities articulated in standard energy audit reports.  The lack of knowledge of how new energy efficient components operate makes this seem like “black box” technology when they really are not.  Our Energy Educator Training Program has been developed to bridge this gap and take the mystery out of the science.  Our software program known as the “Energy Educator Program”, was conceived as an interactive, on-site, computer based training for customers to effectively manage their energy optimization plan.  The initial design for this product was established in 2Q 2010 and additional upgrades have been made as continuous improvements since that time.  Now that the program design has been completed, the company will work on finalizing the computer algorithm and begin programming.  The Company plans to hire Computer programming experts that are adept at software development and plans for the initial product prototypes to be available by 4Q 2011.  We intend to offer our product as free “add ons” for our energy auditing customers as a means to get a sufficient sample population to assist with debugging our product before we begin offering it on a national level.  Once finalized, inspected and ready for official product release projected by 1Q 2012, Exergetic plans to submit a patent application to the US Patent and Trade Office in order to obtain patent protection for our concept and algorithm

NON-RENEWABLE DIVISION

The third and final division of Exergetic is the non-renewable business unit.  This division functions primarily as a commercial fossil fuel supplier.   This division incorporates the business operations of Specialized Services, Inc. existing prior to the merger.

We have established our Fuel Services program as a service capable of providing truck fleets with cost savings based upon high volume nationally, together with the means to track costs, savings and usage, through our third party billing card. With high volume comes the opportunity to operate more efficiently by leveraging costs. Our efficient and productive operations have enhanced our ability to provide customers with competitive pricing of their fuel product needs which advantage improves customer acquisition and retention.

Our business competes in the area of fuel distribution principally on the basis of the following factors: service quality, reputation, technical expertise and reliable service. Competitive pressure and other factors could cause us additional difficulties in acquiring market share or could result in decreases in our margins, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

We have arrangements with fuel distributors at approximately 3,000 fuel stations under a wide variety of formats across the United States. Further, we provide our Fuel Services program to approximately 3 truck fleet customers.

We negotiate with fuel providers, typically truck stocks, to keep fleet prices for fuel products low by leveraging our existing distribution and wholesale purchasing capabilities and maintaining a lower cost structure associated with operating these distribution networks. We believe this strategy will become increasingly profitable because we focus on high-turnover, employ flow-through distribution methods that eliminate product storage operating costs and handling expense.

Many of our competitors have achieved significant national brand name recognition as fuel distributors and have extensive promotional programs. Our Fuel Services program uses equipment and technology that is widely available. Accordingly, barriers to entry, apart from capital availability, are low in our business, and the entrance of new competitors into the fuel distribution market may reduce our ability to capture improving profit margins. However, we believe that our comprehensive Fuel Services program, which includes pre-negotiated fuel discounts from wholesalers/retailers based upon volume commitments and pre-negotiated customer base with fleet truck operators nationally, provides advantages to both the supplier and the customer at reasonable costs. The Company's ability to compete successfully will depend on our success at retaining current customers and penetrating new targeted markets. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully, that its services will continue to meet with customer approval, that competitors will not develop and market their distribution services that are similar or superior to our services or that the Company will be able to successfully enhance its services.

Principal Suppliers
In the non-renewables division, the Company has contractual arrangements with over 8 fuel distribution centers, many of which operate multiple truck stops and other similar facilities nationally. The Company does not believe that it dependent upon any single fuel distributor.

Dependence on Major Customers

The company does not depend on any major customers other than Churchill of Detroit, B & W Interstate and Cimarron Transportation, which accounted for 22%, 23% and 7%, respectively of the company’s revenues during fiscal year ending December 31, 2007.  Because of the changes in the financial markets in 2008 and 2009, and the customer base of our trucking companies being automotive in nature, we have seen a decrease in revenues. As of December 31, 2009, our major customer was Churchill of Detroit, which accounted for approximately 10% of revenues.  In 2010, this trend continued with Churchill of Detroit and Tom Donahue Trucking, constituting approximately 10% and 30%, respectively of revenue.

*The Economic conditions referred to within this section generally refer to the overall economic condition of the country as a whole and in particular for purposes of understanding the impact on the Company’s financials, the resulting decrease in Gross Billings and overall company financial picture, over the reported period was principally a result of changes in the general economic environment and specifically the higher costs of fuel because of lower refinery production. In addition, many of our trucking customers were tied to the automotive industry and with the downturn in the general economic condition and the financial collapse within the automotive industry, services and gross billings declined drastically.  Additional information is provided where applicable.
 
Our direct costs during each of the four fiscal years decreased annually year over year principally as a result of *economic conditions, as the company streamlined its operations to adjust to decreased demand.

There are no limitations in the Company's articles of incorporation on the Company's ability to borrow funds or raise funds through the issuance of restricted common stock. The Company's limited resources and lack of having cash-generating business operations may make it difficult to borrow funds or raise capital. The Company's limitations to borrow funds or raise funds through the issuance of restricted capital stock may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and future prospects, including the ability to execute its business plan. To the extent that debt financing ultimately proves to be available, any borrowing will subject us to various risks traditionally associated with indebtedness, including the risks of interest rate fluctuations and insufficiency of cash flow to pay principal and interest.
 
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
 
During the Fiscal Years ending December 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1934.
 
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
 
As of the each of the Fiscal Years ending December 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively, we did not have any Contractual Obligations and Commitments.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
We believe that the following critical policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our financial statements.
 
Furniture and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated on a declining balance and straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, principally two to seven years. Accelerated methods are used for tax depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. Betterments and renewals are capitalized. When furniture and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operations.
 
The Company has incurred deferred offering costs in connection with raising additional capital through the sale of its common stock. These costs are capitalized and charged against additional paid-in capital when common stock is issued. If there is no issuance of common stock, the costs incurred are charged to operations.
 
Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expenses.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
For a description of recent accounting standards, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects, if any, on our financial statements, see “Note 3:  Significant Accounting Polices:  Recent Accounting Standards” in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.  Management conducted its evaluation based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee on Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, at December 31, 2010, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rue 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act).  Internal control over financial reporting is a process, including policies and procedures, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  Our management assessed our internal control over financial reporting based on the Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.  Based on the results of this assessment, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2010 based on such criteria.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met.  Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected.  Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were sufficiently effective to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system were met.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On December 3, 2010, the Company SSI, merged with Exergetic Energy, Inc. and changed its name to Exergetic Energy, Inc.  The merger was finalized during the first quarter of 2011, and as part of the merger, management of the Company changed, including the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.

Auditor’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors
Exergetic Energy, Inc. (formerly Specialized Services, Inc.)
Southfield, Michigan

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Exergetic Energy, Inc. (formerly Specialized Services, Inc.), as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with 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 has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Exergetic Energy, Inc. (formerly Specialized Services, Inc.), as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the 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 financial statements have been prepared assuming that Exergetic Energy, Inc. (formerly Specialized Services, Inc.) will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 11 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses from operations, has negative working capital, and is in need of additional capital to grow its operations so that it can become profitable.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans with regard to these matters are described in Note 11. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2010
 
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business
Specialized Services, Inc. (the” Company” or “SSI”) was incorporated in Michigan in January, 1988. The Company aggregates (bundles) fuel products and services, and delivers these products and services to customers in a way that reduces the customers’ costs. In addition the Company has a competitive local exchange carrier license to provide telecommunications services to companies.

On October 5, 2005, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with and into Fifth Avenue Acquisition II Corp., a public shell company, with an effective date of October 6, 2005. The Company is the successor reporting company.

In 2010, SSI merged with Exergetic Energy, Inc. and changed its name to Exergetic Energy, Inc, pursuant to a Final Definitive Agreement dated December 3, 2010.  Exergetic Energy, Inc., (“Exergetic”) was founded on May 27, 2010 as a Michigan corporation, and was created to improve upon and expand the various energy options/resources available for prospective customers.

Basis of Accounting
The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting for financial statement reporting. Accordingly, revenues are recognized when products are delivered and services are rendered, and expenses are recognized when the obligation is incurred. The reported net revenues figure represents the total amount of fuel and telecommunications products and services that were purchased from the Company during the year by its customers, net of the Company’s cost of sales, as required under ASC 605-45.  See Note 10.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers certificates of deposit and other highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid interest, accounts payable, accrued expenses, accrued interest, due to shareholder, leases payable, loan payable – related party and a line of credit. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.

Income Taxes
The Company, with the consent of its stockholders, had elected to be taxed as an S Corporation under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code for periods prior to 2005. Instead of paying federal corporate income taxes, the stockholders of an S Corporation are taxed individually on their proportionate share of the Company’s taxable income.

In 2005, the Company revoked its S-election and began paying tax as a C-corporation. Income taxes are accounted for under the assets and liability method.  Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities are recognized for  the  estimated future tax consequences attributable  to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing  assets  and  liabilities and their respective  tax  bases and operating loss and tax credit  carry  forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. See Note 8.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2010
 
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation expense is computed using straight-line methods over the estimated useful life of each asset. See Note 2.

Loss Per Share
Loss per share has been calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  See Note 7.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company continually monitors its banking relationships and consequently has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

In addition, the Company extends credit to customers in the normal course of business. The Company monitors the account receivable balances and does not expect significant collection problems.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855-10 entitled “Subsequent Events”.  Companies are now required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated by management. Public entities (as defined) must conduct the evaluation as of the date the financial statements are issued, and provide disclosure that such date was used for this evaluation. ASC 855-10 provides that financial statements are considered “issued” when they are widely distributed for general use and reliance in a form and format that complies with GAAP. ASC 855-10 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and must be applied prospectively.

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105-10, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. ASC 105-10 establishes the Codification as the sole source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by all nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. ASC 105-10 was prospectively effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending on or after September 15, 2009 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASC 105-10 on July 1, 2009 did not impact the Company’s results of operations or financial condition. The Codification did not change GAAP, however, it did change the way GAAP is organized and presented.

As a result, these changes impact how companies reference GAAP in their financial statements and in their significant accounting policies. The Company implemented the Codification in this Report by providing references to the Codification topics alongside references to the corresponding standards.

With the exception of the pronouncements noted above, no other accounting standards or interpretations issued or recently adopted are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flows.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, there were 20,040,000 shares of common stock issued for services valued at $20,326. On December 20, 2008 the Company executed a 1 to 50 stock split.

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES

For the period ended December 31, 2010, the Company has incurred net losses and, therefore, has no tax liability. The net operating loss carry-forward is approximately $936,500 at December 31, 2010, can be carried forward and applied against future taxable income and used to reduce income taxes owed, and will expire in various amounts through the year 2030.  Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the net operating loss carry forwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years.
 
The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 34% of significant items comprising our net deferred tax amount is as follows:

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company neither owns nor leases any real property as of December 31, 2010. An officer has provided office services without charge.  There is no obligation for the officer to continue this arrangement.  Such costs are immaterial to the financial statements and accordingly are not reflected herein.  The officers and directors are involved in other business activities and most likely will become involved in other business activities in the future.

NOTE 10 – NET REVENUE AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS

Net Revenue for 2010 of $22,298 was comprised of gross billings of $2,490,607 less direct costs of $2,468,309.

Net Revenue for 2009 of $68,494 was comprised of gross billings of $2,751,666 less direct costs of $2,683,172.

During 2010, two customers accounted for 99.9% of our gross revenues and 87% of our net revenues as reflected on the statement of operations.  In the opinion of management, the loss of either or both of these customers would have no material effect on the Company’s financial position.
