SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Please see the note under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation,” for a description of special factors potentially affecting forward-looking statements included in this report.
Company History
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 5, 2002.
Prior to July, 2009, the Company had operated under the name of “Cancer Detection Corporation” and had been primarily engaged in the development of technology acquired under license for detection of cancer tumors. The Company had not generated any revenues under this business model and, in July 2009, the Company underwent a reorganization to change its business model and management as further described herein.
On July 31, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Tremont Fair Holdings, Inc., a Texas corporation (hereafter, “TF-Texas”), in exchange for eighty million (80,000,000) shares of restricted common stock of the Company (such transaction is hereafter referred to as the “Acquisition”). TF-Texas was organized to capitalize on the real estate opportunities resulting from the dislocation in the credit markets, and by extension, the multifamily housing market, by acquiring, rehabilitating, stabilizing and selling distressed multifamily properties in the southern United States, predominantly in Texas and Arizona. Prior to the Acquisition, TF-Texas was wholly-owned by Cumbria Capital, L.P., a Texas limited partnership that is owned and controlled by Cyrus Boga, an executive officer and director of the Company.
On July 29, 2009, the Board of Directors and a majority of the shareholders of the Company agreed to amend and restate, in its entirety, the Articles of Incorporation of the Company. The restated Articles of Incorporation provide, among other things, for an increase in the authorized shares of the Company from 110,000,000 to 220,000,000, with 200,000,000 constituted as common stock and 20,000,000 constituted as preferred stock. The shares of preferred stock are considered “blank check” preferred shares, inasmuch as the Board of Directors may designate the rights, preferences, and privileges of such preferred shares and any classes thereof. The restated Articles of Incorporation also changed the name of the Company from Cancer Detection Corporation to Tremont Fair, Inc.
Core Business
Generally. We are a real estate investment services and management company focusing on distressed multifamily properties in select U.S. markets. We manage limited partnerships that invest in residential multifamily real property in the southern United States and we receive management fees and carried interests from the operations, sale or refinancing of these properties. We also manage the tenancy, redevelopment, and repairs of these properties through the Company or an affiliate from which we also receive fees and other compensation.
Structure. We attract private investors in limited partnerships that we form and manage. A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company serves as the general partner and manager of these partnerships. Our limited partnerships are structured either as single-asset entities that hold one multifamily property that we have prescreened and on which we have performed our due diligence, or as blind pools that do not have identified property interests and are established
instead to take advantage of opportunities that are presented from time to time that usually have a narrow time availability on the market but also possess excellent value and appreciation potential.
Revenue Model. We have a multifaceted revenue model which derives cash flows from a variety of activities. Not all of the following income streams apply to each property or investment structure.
|
·
|
Share of Operating Profits. We typically receive approximately 20% of the operating profits from those properties in limited partnerships where we serve as the general partner
|
|
·
|
Capital Gains Carried Interest. Following a sale or refinancing, we receive approximately 20% of the realized increase in value of the properties we manage.
|
|
·
|
Partnership Management Fees. We charge 1% to 2% per year of the net asset value, in each limited partnership we manage, paid on a quarterly basis.
|
|
·
|
Property Management Fees. To the extent that we or an affiliated company manage the tenancy of a property, we charge competitive property management rates for such services.
|
|
·
|
Construction Management Fees. In the case of renovations, remodeling, or other capital improvements and repairs to our managed properties that are handled by the Company, we or an affiliate charges each such project a construction management fee which is generally equivalent to 10% of the overall construction bid.
|
|
·
|
Condominium Owners Association Management Fees. From time to time, we may serve as the manager of a condominium association for a property we have acquired through one of our limited partnerships. The fee for management of the condo owners’ association is in line with industry norms for the location and class of property.
|
Market
Credit and Economic Crisis. Certain macroeconomic factors and developments in credit markets have combined to have a significant negative effect upon residential real estate values, including in the southern United States where we operate. Many real estate projects financed in recent years at aggressive valuations and with relatively easy credit are unable to secure refinancing without significant equity infusions which, if not a compulsory contribution from the project’s equity holders, often means a substantial devaluation if any such equity is contributed, if indeed at all. Moreover, of the decreasing number of institutions that finance multifamily housing in the U.S., tighter underwriting and lending standards have shut many retail purchasers out of the market, thus driving down demand further. The result has been increased foreclosure on existing properties and considerable writedowns to enable quick liquidations.
Management Failures. Until the economic and credit contraction described above, a common phenomenon witnessed in recent years was the increased purchase of properties by out-of-state or financial buyers who were unfamiliar with local markets, particularly in respect of
“Class B” or “Class C” properties. This has led to a misalignment of the financial interests of the
companies managing such properties with its owners and, combined with the downturn in real estate values generally, has culminated in a growing number of apartment and partially finished and/or occupied condominium foreclosures.
Opportunity. According to a December 2009 report in the National Real Estate Investor, the inventory of identified distressed multifamily properties nationwide stands at over $28 billion out of a total of $189 billion in overall distressed commercial real estate, with a large number of distressed properties in Texas, Arizona and Florida. In addition, there is well over $1 trillion in commercial real estate that must be refinanced over the next 24 months, of which a significant portion is multifamily properties.
We believe that there are a substantial number of distressed properties that are unreported and therefore the actual number may be considerably higher than in the report. Nevertheless, we consider this data and the circumstances described above as evidence of a unique opportunity in the next two years to purchase and manage quality multifamily real estate assets considerably below replacement costs and at acquisition prices that may not be reflective of even a moderately healthy real estate market. Together with our management, selection, operational, rehabilitative and turnaround expertise in the multifamily real estate sector, we believe the Company is well positioned to capitalize on this tremendous opportunity.
Strategy
We typically look to acquire (through our limited partnerships), rehab and manage two types of distressed multifamily properties.
Financially Distressed Properties. These are generally newer properties that usually have little to no deferred maintenance. These properties are in financial distress because of excessive leverage or the inability of the owners to finance an existing expiring mortgage loan. In addition, the properties may be underperforming due to mismanagement or insufficient capitalization of its owners. We require that such properties be within areas of stable or growing renter demand, which usually means close proximity to large fixed asset employers or institutions.
Physically Distressed Properties. We seek older as well as newer properties that are physically distressed because of our expertise in rehabilitating and renovating a variety of property types, and the concomitant fee income and appreciation that can result from our involvement. As with financially distressed properties, we look for locations within stable or growing renter demand areas. Importantly, we endeavor to reposition the renovated property as part of a good or improving submarket.
Competition
The real estate industry is highly competitive. Our competitors and potential competitors include major real estate companies and independent developers and operators of varying sizes. Most of our competitors have greater resources than we do and therefore have greater leverage
with respect to acquiring and developing prospects. We believe a high degree of competition in this industry will continue for the foreseeable future.
Employees
As of December 31, 2010, we had 27 employees. Although national unemployment rates remain high relative to historical averages, there exists a significant amount of competition for skilled personnel in the real estate services industry, and in the Houston metropolitan area in particular. Nevertheless, we expect to be able to attract and retain such additional employees as are necessary, commensurate with the anticipated future expansion of our business. Further, we expect to continue to use consultants, contract labor, attorneys and accountants as necessary.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
Since we are a smaller reporting company, we are not required to supply the information required by this Item 1A.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.
None.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
Office Facilities
On August 12, 2009, Poseidon Partners, LLC, a Texas limited liability company controlled by Cyrus Boga, an executive officer, director, and the beneficial holder of a majority of the Company’s shares, assigned its office lease to the Company. The lease provides for the use of 2,372 square feet of office space located at 10497 Town & Country Way, Suite 214, Houston Texas. The monthly lease rate is approximately $2,454, until the lease expires on July 31, 2011. We do not own any real property.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
We are not currently subject to any legal proceedings, and to the best of our knowledge, no such proceeding is threatened, the results of which would have a material impact on our properties, results of operation, or financial condition. Nor, to the best of our knowledge, are any of our officers or directors involved in any legal proceedings in which we are an adverse party.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
Reverse Split
On September 12, 2008, we filed a definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C where we informed our shareholders that a majority of our shareholders had approved two
resolutions by written consent in lieu of a shareholder meeting. The shareholders approved a 1 for 20 reverse split of the Company’s common stock.
Changes to Charter and Bylaws
On August 3, 2009, we filed a notice to non-consenting stockholders that holders of a majority of the outstanding shares had approved a restatement of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and its Bylaws. The amended and restated Articles of Incorporation provided for the following changes:
Name Change. We changed the name of the Company from Cancer Detection Corporation to Tremont Fair, Inc.
Authorized Shares. We increased the number of authorized shares of capital stock of the Company from 110,000,000 shares to 220,000,000 shares.
Common and Preferred Stock. Of the Company’s authorized shares, 200,000,000 are characterized as common stock, with the same rights, preferences, and privileges as are now held by the Company’s common stockholders, and 20,000,000 are characterized as preferred stock, with such rights, preferences, and privileges (including but not limited to seniority to other classes of capital stock, dividend and distribution rights) as may be subsequently determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.
Appointment of Directors. The number of members of the Board of Directors may be increased by a majority vote of the directors then in office, and the open positions so created by the increase may be filled by a majority vote of the incumbent directors. Previously, the Company’s shareholders were required to consent to the appointment of directors following an expansion of the Board of Directors.
Changes to Bylaws. The Board of Directors is expressly authorized to amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Company. Previously, the Company’s shareholders were required to approve any such changes.

The above quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down, or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.
Number of Holders
As of March 14, 2011, there were approximately 125 record holders of our common stock, not counting shares held in “street name” in brokerage accounts which is unknown. As of March 14, 2011, there were 115,413,520 shares of common stock outstanding on record with the stock transfer agent.
Transfer Agent
We have appointed Holladay Stock Transfer, Inc. (HST) as the transfer agent for our common stock. The principal office of HST is located at 2939 North 67th Place, Suite C, Scottsdale, AZ 85251 and its telephone number is (480) 481-3940.
Sales of Unregistered Securities
Our independent directors and our former advisory board member were each paid for each quarter of service in shares of our common stock with a value equal to $5,000 per quarter. Since 2009, we have issued 2,202,891 common shares to our independent directors and our former advisory board member.
Our independent directors and our former advisory board member are also paid a cash payment for each quarter of service. For the year ended December 31, 2010 and continuing into
January 2011, we had collectively accrued $26,333 in cash for these obligations, which was subsequently converted into an aggregate of 1,253,334 shares of our restricted common stock that was issued to these persons on February 8, 2011.
On March 2, 2011, we converted certain notes issued by the Company into an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of our common stock.
Exemption From Registration Claimed
All of the sales by the Company of its unregistered securities were made by the Company in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). All of the individuals and/or entities listed above that purchased the unregistered securities were all known to the Company and its management, through pre-existing business relationships. All purchasers were provided access to all material information, which they requested, and all information necessary to verify such information and were afforded access to management of the Company in connection with their purchases. All purchasers of the unregistered securities acquired such securities for investment and not with a view toward distribution, acknowledging such intent to the Company. All certificates or agreements representing such securities that were issued contained restrictive legends, prohibiting further transfer of the certificates or agreements representing such securities, without such securities either being first registered or otherwise exempt from registration in any further resale or disposition.
Penny Stock Rules
Due to the price of our common stock, as well as the fact that we are not listed on a national securities exchange, our stock is characterized as “penny stocks” under applicable securities regulations. Our stock will therefore be subject to rules adopted by the SEC regulating broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer proposing to effect a transaction in a penny stock must furnish his customer a document containing information prescribed by the SEC and obtain from the customer an executed acknowledgment of receipt of that document. The broker or dealer must also provide the customer with pricing information regarding the security prior to the transaction and with the written confirmation of the transaction. The broker or dealer must also disclose the aggregate amount of any compensation received or receivable by him in connection with such transaction prior to consummating the transaction and with the written confirmation of the trade. The broker or dealer must also send an account statement to each customer for which he has executed a transaction in a penny stock each month in which such security is held for the customer's account. The existence of these rules may have an effect on the price of our stock, and the willingness of certain brokers to effect transactions in our stock.
Dividend Policy
We have never declared or paid dividends on our common stock. Payment of future dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors after taking into account various factors, including the terms of any credit arrangements, our financial condition, operating results, current and anticipated cash needs and plans for expansion. At the present time, we are not party to any agreement that would limit our ability to pay dividends.
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.
Not required.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. We use words such as anticipate, believe, plan, expect, future, intend and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking statements. You should not place too much reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our actual results are likely to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks faced by us described in the Risk Factors section included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Plan of Operation
Prior to July 31, 2009, we were a development stage company named “Cancer Detection Corporation” which sought to provide research and development to potential cancer and related pathogen vaccines. This business was discontinued in July 2009, when we reorganized the business as a real estate services company as described herein.
On July 31, 2009, we entered into an agreement to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Tremont Fair Holdings, Inc., a Texas corporation (hereafter, “TF-Texas”), in exchange for eighty million (80,000,000) shares of our restricted common stock (such transaction is hereafter referred to as the “Acquisition”). TF-Texas was organized to capitalize on the real estate opportunities resulting from the dislocation in the credit markets, and by extension, the multifamily housing market, by acquiring, rehabilitating, stabilizing and selling distressed multifamily properties in the southern United States. Prior to the Acquisition, TF-Texas was wholly-owned by Cumbria Capital, L.P., a Texas limited partnership that is owned and controlled by Cyrus Boga.
On July 29, 2009, the Board of Directors and a majority of our shareholders agreed to amend and restate, in its entirety, the Articles of Incorporation. The restated Articles of Incorporation provide, among other things, for an increase in the authorized shares from 110,000,000 to 220,000,000, with 200,000,000 constituted as common stock and 20,000,000 constituted as preferred stock. The shares of preferred stock are considered “blank check” preferred shares, inasmuch as the Board of Directors may designate the rights, preferences, and privileges of such preferred shares and any classes thereof. The restated Articles of Incorporation also changed the name of the Company from Cancer Detection Corporation to Tremont Fair, Inc.
Pursuant to the acquisition of TF-Texas described above, our business plan consisted of identifying, acquiring, rehabilitating and renovating value-added multifamily properties in southern United States, and eventually refinancing and/or selling these properties once they are stabilized and cash flowing. These purchases may be direct acquisitions of the property or via purchase of the first liens on such properties, after which we would foreclose on such properties.
Our President and the new employees added to the Company in September 2009 have successfully pursued this business model in recent years as part of other organizations which
served as general partner to property-oriented limited partnerships, as well as the management and construction management company to these limited partnerships. In the 12 months previous to the Acquisition, this team facilitated the purchase, rehabilitation, and stabilization of almost 1,000 apartment units. The efforts of our new team have been a result of a proprietary turnaround model, and has benefited from their relationships with lenders, vendors and property brokers.
By consolidating both control of the property (via a general partner stake) and the construction and property management functions within the Company, we believe the Company can offer investors who participate in these projects a stake in all aspects of the value-added chain for distressed properties and a benefit to the Company from its participation in providing services relating thereto. We believe the current economic environment offers exceptional opportunities to continue implementing this business model, principally because there appears to be a large and growing supply of distressed properties available for purchase, and a shrinking number of stabilized properties available for sale.
We believe our timing is advantageous to acquire quality multifamily properties with a reduction in new apartment construction, lending institutions eager to remove real estate assets off their books, interest rates at near historical lows and less competition today for the acquisition of distressed assets. In the long term, we believe our business plan will improve our operating cash flows as multifamily fundamentals strengthen from a reduction in new supply, declining homeownership, population growth and economic growth.
Other Matters
On September 10, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a reverse stock split of the common stock in the ratio of 1 for 20 and the name change from Xpention Genetics, Inc. to Cancer Detection Corporation. The resolutions became effective September 17, 2008, when the State of Nevada issued a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation. Stockholders holding a majority of outstanding shares approved the reverse split and the name change amendment on July 25, 2008, by written consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders. As a result of the Company’s name change, its trading symbol on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board was changed to “CCDC”.
During 2008, the Company was informed that the staff of the SEC intended to recommend that a civil injunctive action be commenced against the Company for alleged violations of the Securities Act of 1933. The alleged violations occurred in 2005 in connection with proceeds from the sale of stock. On January 30, 2009, the Company submitted an Offer of Settlement without admitting or denying the SEC findings. On March 9, 2009, the SEC accepted the Offer of Settlement and imposed an order under which the Company agreed to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2010, our working capital deficit of $402,885 was comprised of total current assets of $55,457 consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $39,196, accounts receivable from a related party of $13,806 and prepaid expenses of $2,455 and total current liabilities of $444,536 comprised of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $344,537 and a note payable to
related party of $100,000. We continued to consume working capital in the pursuit of our business plan utilizing proceeds from notes payable and advances from related parties.
Management does not believe that the Company’s current capital resources will be sufficient to fund its operating activity and other capital resource demands during the next year. Our ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon our ability to obtain capital through the sale of equity or issuance of debt, joint venture or sale of assets, and ultimately attaining profitable operations. There is no assurance that we will be able to successfully complete any of these activities.
The independent registered public accounting firm’s report on our financial statements as of December 31, 2010, includes a “going concern” explanatory paragraph that describes substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to the factors prompting the explanatory paragraph are discussed below and also in Note 3 to the financial statements.
We are presently seeking additional debt and equity financing to provide sufficient funds for payment of obligations incurred and to fund our ongoing business plan.
We expect to generate revenue pursuant to our new business plan as a real estate services provider and expect to rely on equity and debt financings to fund our capital resources requirements. We will be dependent on additional debt and equity financing to develop our new business.
Our ability to pay accounts payable and accrued expenses and repay borrowings is dependent upon receipt of new funding from related parties, private placements or debt financing. Cumbria Capital LP, our largest shareholder, has periodically advanced funds to us to meet our working capital needs. Cumbria is under no obligation to continue these advances. During the period ended December 31, 2010, the Company received net cash advances aggregating $105,435. During the period ended December 31, 2010, Cumbria transferred both the advances and the note payable to a third party. As of December 31, 2010, the outstanding balance of advances was $293,000 and the note payable was $100,000.
Net cash used in operating activities was $158,761 during the year ended December 31, 2010, with net loss of $362,356, adjustments for depreciation and amortization of $508 along with share-based compensation of $59,750, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $128,095, a decrease in accounts receivable of $12,664, and an decrease in prepaid expenses of $16,384, offset by an increase in accounts receivable from related parties of $13,806.
During 2010, net cash used in investing activities was $0.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2010, was $180,435, of which $75,000 was from the sale of common stock to an unrelated entity and $105,435 was from related party advances.
Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2009
Until the reorganization of the Company in July 2009, we were considered a development

Revenues. Revenue for year ended December 31, 2010 was $234,038, all of which was attributed to property management and construction management fees. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, total revenues were $229,159, of which property management fees were $111,639 and construction management fees were $117,520. This increase in revenues is due to 2009 only having four months worth of revenues.
Selling General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”). Total selling, general and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 of $589,636 consisted primarily of payroll related expense of $175,474, professional and consulting fees of $257,729, share based compensation of $31,250 and rent expense of $44,084. Our SG&A expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 was $436,496. The $153,140 increase in SG&A expenses is due primarily to increased personnel costs, and professional fees resulting from our being a publicly traded, fully listed company since mid 2009.
Other Income (Expense). Other income and expense for year ended December 31, 2010 consisted primarily of interest expense of $6,250 related to the promissory note. Interest expense was $2,166 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 and we recorded a gain on settlement of debt.
Net Income (Loss). Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $362,356 compared to net income of $160,404 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009. The $522,760 increase in loss arises from the higher SG&A expenses and the gain on settlement recorded in 2009 as mentioned above.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
We believe the following more critical accounting policies are used in the preparation of our financial statements:
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On a periodic basis, management reviews those estimates, including those related to valuation allowances, loss contingencies, income taxes, and projection of future cash flows.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There were various accounting standards and interpretations recently issued, none of which are expected to a have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, operations or cash flows.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains or incorporates by reference forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 concerning our future business plans and strategies, the receipt of working capital, future revenues and other statements that are not historical in nature. In this report, forward-looking statements are often identified by the words “anticipate,” “plan,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” and the like. These forward-looking statements reflect our current beliefs, expectations and opinions with respect to future events, and involve future risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied.
Other uncertainties that could affect the accuracy of forward-looking statements include:
• the worldwide economic situation;
• any changes in interest rates or inflation;
• the willingness and ability of third parties to honor their contractual commitments;
• our ability to raise additional capital, as it may be affected by current conditions in the stock market and competition for risk capital;
• our capital expenditures, as they may be affected by delays or cost overruns;
• environmental and other regulations, as the same presently exist or may later be amended;
• our ability to identify, finance and integrate any future acquisitions; and
• the volatility of our common stock price.
This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of our forward-looking statements. You should read this report completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. These forward-looking statements represent our beliefs, expectations and opinions only as of the date of this report. We do not intend to update these forward looking statements except as required by law. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.
|
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|
Not Applicable.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.
Our 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 purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
|
-
|
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of assets;
|
|
-
|
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our directors; and
|
|
-
|
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention and timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
|
Internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems that are determined to be effective provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. 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 the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission as determined to apply to a company our size.
Based on its assessment, management concluded that we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010.
To the Board of Directors
Tremont Fair, Inc.
Houston, Texas
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Tremont Fair, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the period from inception (July 27, 2009) to December 31, 2009 and the period from January 1, 2009 to August 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of Tremont’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit 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 Tremont Fair, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods described above in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Tremont Fair, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, Tremont Fair, Inc. suffered recurring losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements of Tremont Fair, Inc. (the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented have been reflected herein.
REVERSE MERGER
On July 29, 2009, the Board of Directors and a majority of the shareholders agreed to amend and restate, in its entirety, the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company. The restated Articles of Incorporation provide, among other things, for an increase in the authorized shares of the Company from 110,000,000 to 220,000,000, with 200,000,000 constituted as common stock and 20,000,000 constituted as preferred stock. The restated Articles of Incorporation also changed the name of the Company from Cancer Detection Corporation to Tremont Fair, Inc. On July 29, 2009, pursuant to the restatement of the Company’s Bylaws, the Board of Directors agreed to change the Company’s fiscal year end from May 31 to December 31.
On July 31, 2009, Tremont Fair, Inc. entered into an agreement to acquire all the outstanding shares of Tremont Fair Holdings, Inc., a Texas corporation, in exchange for eighty million (80,000,000) shares of restricted common stock of Tremont Fair, Inc. There were 16,503,128 shares of common stock outstanding for Cancer Detection Corporation. Tremont Fair Holdings, Inc. seeks to capitalize on the real estate opportunities resulting from the dislocation in the credit markets, by acquiring, rehabilitating, stabilizing and selling distressed multifamily properties in the southern United States. Prior to the Acquisition, Tremont Fair Holdings, Inc. was wholly-owned by Cumbria Capital, L.P., a Texas limited partnership that is owned and controlled by Cyrus Boga, an executive officer and director of Tremont Fair, Inc.
The acquisition of Tremont Fair Holdings, Inc. by Tremont Fair, Inc., represents a reverse merger with the shareholder of Tremont Fair Holdings, Inc. assuming control and responsibilities for the Company’s activities. Tremont Fair Holdings, Inc. is the accounting acquirer. For accounting purposes, the date of inception for the Company is July 27, 2009, the date that Tremont Fair Holdings, Inc. was incorporated.
As a result of the reverse merger, acquired assets and assumed liabilities were as follows:

BASIS OF PRESENTATION-PREDECESSOR
Effective September 1, 2009, Tremont Fair Holdings, Inc. acquired two property management agreements from Creekstone Equity Management, a company controlled by Cyrus Boga (the “Management Agreements”). Successor references herein are referring to the consolidated information pertaining to
Tremont Fair, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Tremont Fair Holdings, Inc. Predecessor references herein relate to the property management operations of the two agreements previously owned by Creekstone Equity Management.
These financial statements include the accounts of the Predecessor for the Management Agreements. Historically, financial statements have not been prepared for the Management Agreements as it had no separate legal status of existence. The accompanying carve-out financial statements have been prepared to present the statements of operations and cash flows of the Management Agreements for purposes of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission as required by S-X Rule 8-02. These statements include only those related operations of the two property management agreements as historically incurred by Creekstone Equity management and exclude all other operations of Creekstone Equity Management. The accompanying carve-out financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted using management Agreements-specific information where available and allocations and estimates where data is not maintained on a Management Agreements-specific basis within its books and records. Due to the amount of allocations and estimates used to prepare these carve-out financial statements, they may not reflect the results of operations and cash flows of the Management Agreements in the future or what its operations and cash flows would have been had the Management Agreements been operating on a stand-alone basis during the periods presented.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and financial instruments which mature within three months of the date of purchase.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
As at December 31, 2010, the fair value of cash and accounts payable approximate carrying values because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Furniture and Office Equipment
Furniture and office equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of five to seven years.
Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are provided on the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and accrued tax liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
In accordance with FIN 48(effective June 1, 2007), which clarifies FAS 109, the Company evaluated all tax positions to determine if any are more-likely-than-not to sustain audit by a tax authority. The Company has determined that there is no liability to be recorded for FIN 48.
Earnings per Share of Common Stock
Basic net income per share calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted net income per share calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. During the reporting period when they are anti-dilutive, common share equivalents, if any, are not considered in the computation. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had no dilutive common shares equivalents outstanding.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from management services is recognized when service is completed and collection is reasonably assured .
Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated events occurring between the end of our fiscal year, December 31, 2010 and the date when the financial statements were issued.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, none of which are expected to a have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, operations or cash flows.
3. GOING CONCERN
The Company has a working capital deficit at December 31, 2010 and does not expect current financial resources to meet its financial requirements over the next twelve months. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to obtain capital through the sales of equity and attaining additional profitable operations. Historically, the Company has received cash advances from related parties, including stockholders and their affiliates, to cover operating expenses. The Company is seeking additional debt and equity financing to provide sufficient funds for payment of obligations incurred and to fund our ongoing business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

6. ADVANCES FROM RELATED PARTY
From time to time, the Company receives cash advances from related parties, including stockholders and their affiliates, to cover operating expenses.

At December 31, 2010, the Company had a federal tax net operating loss carryforwards of about $516,000 that expires in years 2029 to 2030. The Company believes that, based on a number of factors, the available objective evidence creates sufficient uncertainty regarding the realization of the deferred tax assets such that a valuation allowance has been recorded against such assets.

Our officers serve at the will of our Board of Directors. There are no family relationships among our officers or directors.
The following information summarizes the business experience of each of our current officers and directors for at least the last five years:
Cyrus Boga. Mr. Boga has been a member of the board of directors of the Company since October 2008. Since February 2003, he has been the managing member of Poseidon Partners, LLC, a Texas-based company that purchases, rehabilitates and stabilizes distressed multifamily properties in Texas.

Mr. Thomas is the President and Chief Operating Officer of Acadia Group, Inc., an international corporate finance advisory firm, specializing in reverse takeovers, mergers and acquisitions, and general corporate matters for a variety of small public and private companies in the United States, United Kingdom, and Germany. Since August 2009 Mr. Thomas has been a member of the board of directors of London Pacific & Partners, Inc. (OTC: LDPP), a Los Angeles and London-based investment and advisory firm specializing in healthcare and hospitality finance. From May 2006 to October 2009 he was the director of the microcap division for small public company listings for MCC Global NV (FSE:IFQ2) an international financial services and investment conglomerate based in London and traded on the Geregeltermarkt of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Since December 2008, Mr. Thomas has served as a member of the board of directors of Bayhill Capital, Inc. (BYHL.OB), a filer of reports pursuant to 13(a) and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act

To our knowledge, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, based solely upon a review of such materials as are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, no other officer, director or beneficial holder of more than ten percent of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock failed to timely file with the Securities and Exchange Commission any form or report required to be so filed pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act of 1934.
Code of Ethics
We have not yet adopted a written Code of Ethics; however, we believe our executive officers conduct themselves honestly and ethically with respect to our business affairs. As the Company is still in the process of organizing its formal corporate governance structure, we plan to adopt a formal Code of Ethics in the near future.
Changes in Procedures by which Security Holders May Recommend Nominees to the Board
Any security holder who wishes to recommend a prospective director nominee should do so in writing by sending a letter to the Board of Directors. The letter should be signed, dated and include the name and address of the security holder making the recommendation, information to enable the Board to verify that the security holder was the holder of record or beneficial owner of the company’s securities as of the date of the letter, and the name, address and résumé of the potential nominee. Specific minimum qualifications for directors and director nominees which the Board believes must be met in order to be so considered include, but are not limited to, management experience, exemplary personal integrity and reputation, sound judgment, and sufficient time to devote to the discharge of his or her duties. There have been no changes to the procedures by which a security holder may recommend a nominee to the Board during our most recently ended fiscal year.

The percentage ownership of any shareholder is determined by assuming that the shareholder has exercised all options, warrants and conversion rights to obtain additional securities and that no other shareholder has exercised such rights. Except as otherwise indicated below, the persons and entity named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws.
(2) Principal shareholder of the Company. Includes 70,798,500 shares of common stock held directly.

Changes in Control
On July 31, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Tremont Fair Holdings, Inc., a Texas corporation (hereafter, “TF-Texas”), in exchange for eighty million (80,000,000) shares of restricted common stock of the Company (such transaction is hereafter referred to as the “Acquisition”). Prior to the Acquisition, TF-Texas was wholly-owned by Cumbria Capital, L.P. (“Cumbria”), a Texas limited partnership that is owned and controlled by Cyrus Boga, an executive officer, director, and substantial shareholder of the Company. The Acquisition gave Mr. Boga voting control of the Company. Together with all other shares of the Company in which Mr. Boga holds a beneficial interest (and taking into account recent dispositions by Cumbria), Mr. Boga beneficially holds 70,798,500 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing 61.34% of all common shares outstanding as of March 14, 2011.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
On July 31, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Tremont Fair Holdings, Inc., a Texas corporation (hereafter, “TF-Texas”), in exchange for eighty million (80,000,000) shares of restricted common stock of the Company (such transaction is hereafter referred to as the “Acquisition”). Based upon the closing price of the Company’s shares on July 30, 2009, the transaction was valued at $4,800,000. The Acquisition was approved by a majority of disinterested members of the Company’s Board of Directors. Prior to the Acquisition, TF-Texas was wholly-owned by Cumbria Capital, L.P. (“Cumbria”), a Texas limited partnership that is owned and controlled by Cyrus Boga, an executive officer, director, and a holder of a substantial beneficial interest in the voting shares of the Company. The Acquisition gave Mr. Boga voting control of the Company. Together with all other shares of the Company in which Mr. Boga holds a beneficial interest (and taking into account recent dispositions by Cumbria), Mr. Boga beneficially holds 72,190,500 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing 61.34% of all common shares outstanding as of March 14, 2011.
On July 29, 2009, the Company issued a promissory note (“Note”) to Cumbria in exchange for cash proceeds of $100,000. The Note bears interest at 5% per annum and matures on July 28, 2010. The Company has also received loans from Cumbria in the principal amount of $293,000 (collectively, “Loans”). Issuance of the Note and receipt of the Loans was approved by a majority of disinterested members of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company has not adopted any policies regarding related party transactions.
Director Independence
On July 30, 2009, the Board of Directors appointed John Thomas as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. Mr. Thomas is considered by the Company to be “independent” inasmuch as he is not an executive officer of the Company, does not hold a beneficial interest in more than 10% of the Company’s voting securities, and is not related to any executive officer or director of the Company. We have not established any board committees. We hope in the future to add at least one independent director and establish one or more board committees, especially an audit committee.
