Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

The Company – Shades Holdings Inc. (the Company) was organized in Florida on November 23, 2009.  The Company is in the development stage and has realized only minimal revenues from its planned operations.

Nature of Business -   We are an internet sales Company which, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Daily Shades, Inc., sells name brand sunglasses at up to 70% off manufactured suggested retail prices at our website www.dailyshades.com.  Our business strategy is focused on a “daily deal” that is a niche in the internet market place.

The Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Note 3) is presented to assist in understanding the financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

References to accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States of America are to those standards promulgated and described in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board.

NOTE 2. GOING CONCERN

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States contemplates that operations will be sustained for a reasonable period. However, we have incurred operating losses of $13,251 and $21,573 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011 respectively.  Our revenues are minimal. In addition, during these periods, we used cash of $21,217 and $6,857 respectively, in our operating activities. Since our inception, we have been substantially dependent upon funds raised through the sale of common stock and the issuance of common stock for services. We will need to obtain additional financing to implement our business plan.  We may not be successful unless we can successfully market our products and generate revenue sufficient to continue our operations.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period.

Our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period is dependent upon our ability to raise sufficient capital to implement our business plan and to generate profits sufficient to become financially viable. Since inception through March 31, 2011 we raised $86,250 from the sale of common stock. We cannot give any assurances regarding the success of our current operations or our ability to raise adequate capital to finance our operations. Our consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTES 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates—The Company prepares the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America and, accordingly, requires 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation – Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Shades Holding Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Daily Shades Inc. All significant intercompany accounts, profits and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - Our management evaluates its tangible and definite-lived intangible assets for impairment under ASC 350 Intangible Assets and ASC 360 Impairments and Disposals.

Our evaluation related to tangible and intangible long-lived assets provides a two step process. The first step is to compare our undiscounted cash flows, as projected over the remaining useful lives of the assets, to their respective carrying values. In the event that the carrying values are not recovered by future undiscounted cash flows, as a second step, we compare the carrying values to the related fair values and, if lower, record an impairment adjustment. For purposes of fair value, we generally use replacement costs for tangible fixed assets and discounted cash flows, using risk-adjusted discount rates, for intangible assets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash equivalents are comprised of all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased.

Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when evidence of the arrangement exists, the product is shipped to a customer, the fee for the service is fixed or determinable and when we have concluded that amounts are collectible from the customers. Estimated amounts for sales returns and allowances are recorded at the time of sale. Shipping costs billed to customers are included as a component of product sales. The associated cost of shipping is included as a component of cost of product sales.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

Inventories – Inventories consist of retail merchandise that is in its finished form and ready for sale to end-user customers. Inventories are recorded at the lower of average cost or market. In-bound freight-related costs from our vendors are included as part of the net cost of merchandise inventories. Other costs associated with acquiring, storing and transporting merchandise inventories are expensed as incurred and included in cost of goods sold. Our inventories are acquired and carried for retail sale and, accordingly, the carrying value is susceptible to, among other things, market trends and conditions and overall customer demand.

Intangible assets – Website is recorded at cost and has a finite life.  The Website is amortized over the estimated periods of benefit of three years.
 
Earnings (Loss) Per Share - The Company uses the guidance set forth under FASB topic ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” for calculating the basic and diluted loss per share. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential shares had been issued and if the additional shares were dilutive. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of net loss per share if they would be anti-dilutive.  The company has no potentially dilutive securities at March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company carries cash and cash equivalents, inventory, and accounts payable and accrued expense at historical cost which approximates the fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Income Taxes - Income taxes are accounted for using the liability method of accounting. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, using currently enacted tax rates. The effect on deferred assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period when the change is enacted. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Share-Based Compensation – We apply the grant-date fair value method to our share-based payment arrangements with employees under the rules provided in ASC 718 Accounting for Share-Based Payments and Staff Accounting Bulletin 107.  Share-based compensation cost for employees is measured at the grant date fair value based on the value of the award and is recognized over the requisite service period, which is usually the vesting period for employees.

 
F-7

 

Shades Holdings, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

For share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees, we apply ASC 505-50 Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees. These non-employee services are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measureable. The measurement date for valuing share-based payments made to non-employees is the earlier of the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached or the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete.  Share-based payments to non-employees are recorded at fair value on the measurement date and reflected in expense over the requisite service period.
 
Recent Accounting Standards— The Company does not expect the adoption of recent accounting standards to have any material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 5. EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

We have 100,000,000 authorized shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001. Holders of voting shares are entitled to one vote for each share that they own at any shareholders' meeting.  Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote, either in person or by proxy, at meetings of shareholders.

We issued 20,310,000 shares of common stock upon formation on November 23, 2009 (date of inception).  We issued 20,000,000 shares to our president and director at par value for proceeds of $2,000 and the additional 310,000 shares were issued to vendors in exchange for future services, including legal services, accounting services, information technology services and search engine optimization services. See below for a description of each agreement.  We also sold 3,000,000 shares of our common stock at $0.01 per share to accredited investors and received $26,643 in proceeds.

On February 1, 2010, we distributed to potential investors a Private Placement Memorandum offering 250,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.25 per share.  The shares are being offered by us on a “best efforts” basis through the efforts of our President.  Although there is no minimum purchase requirement, each investor is permitted to purchase a maximum of 25,000 shares subject to our right to permit an investor to purchase more than the maximum individual subscription.  We have sold 217,000 shares of our common stock resulting in cash proceeds of $54,250 to the Company.  This Private Placement Memorandum offering is now closed.

Background
 
We are an online retailer of discount sunglasses incorporated under the laws of Florida on November 23, 2009.   We are a development stage company and have recently commenced our business operations.  From our inception on November 23, 2009 through March 31, 2011, we incurred a cumulative loss of $197,481 and have only generated limited revenues from our business operations.  We offer and sell high quality, name brand sunglasses to our customers through our wholly owned subsidiary, Daily Shades, Inc., at discounts of up to 70% of the manufacturer’s suggested retail price.  Our products are offered and sold through our website at www.dailyshades.com and we intend to continue offering our products only through our websites.  We currently offer a different pair of sunglasses each day to our customers through our website.  We generally offer our sunglasses for a limited period of time and present the offer as a “daily deal” on our website.  Each day our quantities vary so our customers do not know how many pairs of sunglasses we will have of a particular model.  We have also recently added a bargain bin that consist of single models, old models and slightly damaged models.  We have also purchased the domain dailychrono.com and have that website under construction.  We intend to sell watches on that website using a similar business model and are targeting to have the new website up and operating by the third  quarter of 2011.  In anticipation of having dailychrono.com operating by the second quarter of 2011, we purchased a small amount of inventory of watches in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Plan of Operation
 
We are a development-stage company, which currently sells discount sunglasses and seeks to expand its business model to include the sale of other products. During our development stage, we have and are devoting substantially all of our efforts to marketing and advertising through the use of different medias.  We are also engaged in developing our business infrastructure and we are seeking capital to support the further development and deployment of our internet sales platform. As of the date of this report, our activities have been limited to various organizational matters, limited operations, and the development of our business plan.

During our development stage, as discussed above, we will incur significant expenditures for organizational costs and marketing, arising both internally and externally.  Our organizational costs have made up the majority of our expenses to date.  These expenditures are entirely predicated on the success of our financing efforts discussed in Liquidity and Capital Resources, below.  We have had to pay for most of our organizational costs with cash and currently anticipate that we will be required to pay for our marketing efforts with cash. However, to the extent that outside parties will entertain share-based payment arrangements, we will likely pursue negotiations on those lines.  As discussed in Note 5, Equity Transactions, contained in the explanatory notes to our financial statements, we previously issued shares of our common stock as compensation to our social media content consultation, our IT consultant and our legal service provider.  We will seek stock-based compensation arrangements in the future.

Our website sales platform is currently generating limited revenues.  From inception (November 23, 2009) through March 31, 2011, we generated $3,391 in revenues from our operations.  We anticipate that our marketing efforts will increase the traffic to our website, dailyshades.com, which will result in an increase in revenues.  Our revenues are primarily derived from the sale of products over our website.  We also have one advertising space on our main website ,dailyshades.com, in which we offer a “banner” style advertisement.  This advertising space generates limited revenue for us.  We  recently expanded our advertising to our additional websiteswhich include dailyflops.com, dailylids.com, dailytote.com, dailysneaks.com, and dailychrono.com (which is currently under construction).  The websites now have “splash pages” with advertisements on them and a link back to our main website, dailyshades.com.  A “splash page” is a simple one page website that requires minimal development output and expenditures but that will allow us additional exposure on the internet.

As we stated above, we are currently generating nominal revenues from our business operations.  Under our current business plan, we intend to invest a substantial portion of our revenues in our marketing efforts.  However, because we have limited revenues, we are currently spending very little on our marketing efforts.  To the extent that our revenues increase and provide the needed financing to spend money on marketing, the intended allocation of our financial resources will be as follows:

Expenditure Item
 
Percent of Total
Expenditures
 
Advertising
    30 %
Social Media/Blogging

SEO development
    15 %
Inventory
    10 %
Website Maintenance/Enhancement
    10 %
General Working Capital
    15 %

Advertising, social media, and search engine optimization (“SEO”) services.  In order for our business model to be successful, we must acquire, convert and retain customers.  In order to acquire customers, we must increase the traffic to our website.  As such, our highest priority will be to increase our marketing/advertising expenses.  We utilize various channels to market our products, including click-through based advertising on shopping comparison engines, targeted e-mails, display and banner advertisements on high-traffic portals, social networking via major social media sites, and onsite promotions on our websites.  If we are able to obtain the necessary capital, we intend to increase the ads we purchase from internet search engine providers like Google and Yahoo!.  While we believe that repetitive ads on the internet are a highly effective marketing tool, the costs associated with these advertisements are high. Using  Google Ad Words, we can create advertisements and choose keywords, which are words or phrases related to our business.  When people search on Google using one of our keywords, our ad may appear next to the search results.  This allows us to advertise to an audience that is already interested in the products we provide.  Using this form of advertising, we can establish spending limits and we are generally only charged if someone clicks our ad, not just when our ad is displayed.  At the development stage that we are in, we do not have adequate resources to devote a substantial amount to internet advertising.  We anticipate spending approximately thirty percent (30%) of our funds on this type of advertising during our fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. Even with current budget constraints we plan to expand our advertising campaign during the second quarter as this is the  prime season for sunglasses.  This will consist primarily of increased advertising with Adwords on Google, Facebook Ads/Contest, and subscriber list contest/promotions from our website.  Our social media followers have vastly expanded over the last several quarters along with subscribers to our website.

All of our social media through Facebook and Twitter is currently done by our management.  We believe this is an excellent marketing tool; however, we believe it should be done by a professional group.  While we have initially budgeted $10,000 per month to pay a professional group to manage this marketing aspect of our business, the development stage at which we are at has caused us to forego this expense until our financial position improves.  We intend to reconstruct “fan pages” of our business on Facebook and similar sites, each of which will cost approximately $2,500 at a minimum.  There are also monthly costs associated with the maintenance of these “fan pages.”  This campaign is our second priority after our Google Ad Words project. However, we do not currently have the capital and resources necessary to finance this project. We also anticipate establishing a blog on our website.  We believe this will assist us in drawing additional traffic to our website.  Estimates for establishing a “blog” can vary depending on the amount of content and number of bloggers.  We believe initial costs will be approximately $1,500, with monthly costs related to maintenance.  Finally, we also intend to reach our customers through daily “tweets” on Twitter.  We find this is a valuable tool to remind customers to visit our website for our “daily deal.”

Our search engine optimization (SEO) work is the next marketing aspect we plan on expanding when we are financially able.  We have retained an outside marketing firm to assist us in enhancing and developing our website and to assist us with SEO.  SEO is the practice of maximizing the volume or quality of traffic to a  from  such as Google or Yahoo! via "natural" or un-paid search results.  Our efforts in this area have been limited due to our limited budget.  However, with proper funding, this aspect of our marketing campaign would be vastly expanded to increase our ranking in searches.

Acquisition of inventory.  With the expansion of our marketing campaign, we anticipate an increase in our sales.  As such, additional inventory channels would need to be found.  While our current business model does not require that we maintain high inventory levels, as our business grows, we may need to acquire and hold inventory.  Many wholesalers require that we place certain minimum orders for inventory, which we are currently unable to do because the minimum orders exceed our current budget.  If our inventory demands reach a certain level, we might need to find warehouse space.  The determination of size and cost at this point would be unknown.  However, we do not believe we will require warehouse space until the third or fourth quarter of 2011, at the earliest.  As of March 31, 2011, we currently retain very minimal inventory of approximately $2,962.

Website maintenance and enhancement.  Due to our existing budget constraints, we do a minimum amount of maintenance and updating to our website.  If our marketing campaign is successful and additional traffic is directed to our website, we will need to spend additional money on maintaining and enhancing our website to remain competitive.

 
General working capital needs.  If we are successful in establishing our sunglass segment, we will likely rollout additional “daily deal” sites for other clothing accessories such as hats, watches, shoes and other similar items.  We have acquired the website domain names of dailychrono.com, dailytote.com, dailylids.com, dailyflops.com, and dailysneaks.com.  Currently dailychrono.com, a website devoted to watches, is under construction and anticipated to launch in the third quarter of 2011.  We initially anticipated launching this website in the first or second quarter, however, we have not had the excess capital to devote to its development.  Other than the launch of dailychrono.com, we do not anticipate expanding our business until the fourth quarter of 2011 or the first quarter of 2012.  As we expand, we will focus on those markets that we believe have the greatest sales potential and the least competition.  The advertising/marketing campaign for these new segments would be substantially similar to those used for our sunglasses segment.
 
As our business grows, we also will need to hire additional employees.  We currently only have two employees, Sean Lyons, who is our Principal Executive Officer, and Jesus Diaz, our Principal Accounting Officer.  If our sales increase, we will need to hire additional people to accommodate that increase.  However, that is not anticipated to happen until the fourth quarter of  2011, at the earliest.  We believe our initial personnel needs will be in website maintenance, sales/customer service and a general operations manager.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles contemplates that operations will be sustained for a reasonable period.  However, we have incurred operating losses of $21,573 during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and $197,481 from inception (November 23, 2009) through March 31, 2011.  In addition, we used cash of $6,857  in support of our operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2011.  As of March 31, 2011, we had cash on hand of $5,273 and working capital of $8,035.  A substantial portion of our working capital results from non-cash share based payments for prepaid expenses totaling $8,328 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 for stock issued to service providers for legal, accounting and information technology services rendered to our company.  Since our inception, we have been substantially dependent upon funds raised through the sales of our stock in private placements to sustain our operating activities.  Our operating plan will require substantially all available liquid resources and additional financings sources, which we may not be able to achieve, to continue our business operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period.
 
Our preferred method of raising this necessary capital will be to sell shares through our current stock offering.  Our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-168139), related to our initial public offering, was declared effective by the SEC on October 25, 2010. A total of 4,000,000 shares of common stock were registered with the SEC to be sold by the Company with an aggregate offering price of $1,000,000 for the Company if all shares are sold.  As of the date of this filing the Company has only  sold 33,000 shares under the registration statement.

If we are not successful at selling sufficient shares to meet our minimum financing needs, we will seek advances from our existing shareholders.  In addition, we may seek debt financing or short term loans.  If we do not secure at least $200,000 we may not be able to continue our current minimal operations beyond the next twelve months and our business plan will fail.
 
We currently do not have any financing commitments (binding or non-binding) and we cannot give you any assurance that we will be able to secure the additional cash or working capital we may require to continue our operations and fully implement the initial phase of our business plan.
 
The Company received $54,250 from the sale of its stock through private placements during the year ended December 31, 2010 to support our operating activities.  However, further funding is not assured for the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period and, ultimately, we need to generate profitable operations to sustain our business activities.  We cannot give any assurances regarding the success of management’s plans.  Our consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Cash balances amounted to $5,273 as of March 31, 2011 compared to $19,233 at March 31, 2010.  We have working capital of $8,035 as of March 31, 2011 and we had working capital of $106,627 at March 31, 2010.  Our working capital decreased as a result of our net loss during the year ended December 31, 2010 and the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities – We used cash of $6,857 in our operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and $21,217 during the three months ended March 31, 2010

We recorded a net loss of $21,573 and $13,251 during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

Our cash from operating activities also includes cash flow from changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $2,267 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to a use of cash of $8,216 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Our inventory was $2,962 at March 31, 2011 compared to $0 at March 31, 2010.  We made inventory purchases to take advantage of favorable pricing for these purchases.

Our non-cash prepaid expenses were $8,328 at March 31, 2011 compared to $89,017 at March 31, 2010.  The decrease is attributable to the amortization of share based payments for accounting, information technology services and legal services.  In October of 2010, we charged non-cash share based registration statements costs of $69,486 to paid in capital upon the effective registration of our common stock on October 25, 2010.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses were $8,528 at March 31, 2011, an increase of $6,905  from $1,623  at March 31, 2010.  This use of funds is due to the timing of payments for services accrued at December 31, 2010.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities – We used $0 cash and $0 in our investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
We have no commitments for the purchase of property and equipment or other long lived assets.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities –We have been substantially dependent on these types of financings since inception.

We currently have 5,102,222 shares of our common stock available for sale to the public with the completion of our registration statement which became effective October 25, 2010.  A total of 1,102,222 of these shares are offered by our selling shareholders with no proceeds to the benefit of the Company from the sales of these shares.  The proceeds from the sale of the remaining 4,000,000 shares, if any shares are sold, will be proceeds to the benefit of the Company.  Since May 16, 2011, the Company has sold 33,000 shares. There can be no assurances that any of our common stock available for sale to the public will be sold or that funding sources to meet our business needs will become available or on terms that are suitable to our management.  The Company did not sell any shares under the registration statement during the quarter ended March 31, 2011.
 
Results of Operations
 
Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 and 2010
 
RevenuesWe derive our revenues from the sale of tangible products primarily sunglasses. Our consolidated product sales of sunglasses were $695 and $417 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.  Our revenues are limited and will continue to be limited until we can fully implement our business plan.

Cost of Product Sales – Our cost of product sales were $441 and $90 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.  Our cost of product sales is a direct result of our sales activity.  Costs of products sold included unexpected emergency shipping costs and  product pricing costs.

Selling General and Administrative Expenses – Operating expenses consist of advertising expense, accounting and professional expenses, compensation costs and general, amortization and administrative expenses. Our analysis of the material components of changes in operating expenses are as follows:

Advertising and Promotion – Advertising and promotion expense were $117 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.  Due to limited operating activity our advertising expense is set at minimum levels.  Much of our advertising is done by management  through social media sites such as Facebook.
 
Accounting and Professional Expense – Accounting and consulting professional expenses (including expenses associated with our filings with the regulatory agencies) were $11,575 and $13,255 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.  These costs include fees relating to professional consulting for information technology services and accounting services and external audit related expenses. Our fees for these services will continue as these services support our operations.

Compensation Costs – Compensation related costs consist of salaries and payroll taxes.  These costs were $9,730 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.  Our compensation costs are for our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer.  Of which, stock compensation in the amount of $8,123 was given to (1) a Director  (2) our Chief Financial Officer/Director (3) our Chief Executive Officer/Director .

Amortization – Our amortization of intangible assets was $250 and 250 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. The expense is related to the amortization of our website over its useful life.

Other General and Administrative – These costs and expenses include general office expenses. Our general and administrative costs were $155 and $73 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. These costs reflect normal operating expenses and other administrative expenses, including, without limitation, travel and entertainment expenses.

Net Loss – We have reported net loss of $21,573 and $13,251 during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. This net loss is a result of the items discussed in the preceding discussion.
 
We have experienced a recent increase in our professional costs primarily because of professional accounting and legal fees incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of our registration statement on Form S-1.  We believe that these increased costs are associated with our efforts to become a public company. However, our administrative and overall general costs will continue to remain high now that our registration statement has been declared effective.  Our costs associated with legal and accounting fees will remain higher than historical amounts because, as a reporting company, we are required to comply with the reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. This involves the preparation and filing of the quarterly and annual reports required under the Exchange Act as well as the other filing requirements found in that Act. We will also incur additional expenses associated with the services provided by our transfer agent. In addition, to the work we are presently doing, we will need to focus our time and energy to complying with the Exchange Act. This will detract from our ability and efforts to expand our business model and future product and service offerings.
 
We anticipate incurring these additional expenses related to being a public company without receiving a substantial increase in revenues associated with this undertaking. Therefore, these additional expenses will not be offset by an increase in revenue. There is currently no public market for our common stock. We will need to compensate for these additional costs associated with becoming a public company by revenues generated from our products or from the public or private sale of or equity securities, the procurement of advances from our majority shareholder, debt financing or short-term loans, or a combination of the foregoing. As discussed elsewhere in this report, we currently do not have any financing commitments (binding or non-binding) and we cannot give you any assurance that we will be able to secure the additional cash or working capital we may require to continue our operations and meet these increased costs.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. For a description of those estimates, see Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, contained in the explanatory notes to our audited financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to deferred tax assets and valuation allowance, impairment of long-lived assets, fair value of our financial instruments and equity instruments. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that our estimates, including those for the above-described items, are reasonable.

While all of our accounting policies impact the consolidated financial statements, certain policies are viewed to be critical. Critical accounting policies are those that are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s most subjective or complex judgments and estimates. Management believes the policies that fall within this category are the policies on revenue recognition and accounts receivable and intangible assets, investments, financial instruments.

Revenue recognition – Revenue is recognized when evidence of the arrangement exists, the product is shipped to a customer, or in the limited circumstances, at destination, when terms provide that title passes at destination, and when we have concluded that amounts are collectible from the customers. Estimated amounts for sales returns and allowances are recorded at the time of sale. Shipping costs billed to customers are included as a component of product sales. The associated cost of shipping is included as a component of cost of product sales.

Accounts receivable – Accounts receivable represents normal trade obligations from customers that are subject to normal trade collection terms, without discounts or rebates. Notwithstanding these collections, we periodically evaluate the collectability of our accounts receivable and consider the need to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon our historical collection experience and specifically identifiable information about our customers.

Inventories – Inventories consist of retail merchandise that is in its finished form and ready for sale to end-user customers. Inventories are recorded at the lower of average cost or market. In-bound freight-related costs from our vendors are included as part of the net cost of merchandise inventories. Other costs associated with acquiring, storing and transporting merchandise inventories are expensed as incurred and included in cost of goods sold. Our inventories are acquired and carried for retail sale and, accordingly, the carrying value is susceptible to, among other things, market trends and conditions and overall customer demand.

Impairments – The Company’s management evaluates its tangible and definite-lived intangible assets for impairment under Statement of Financial Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets  annually at the beginning of our fourth fiscal quarter or more frequently in the presence of circumstances or trends that may be indicators of impairment. Our evaluation is a two step process. The first step is to compare our undiscounted cash flows, as projected over the remaining useful lives of the assets, to their respective carrying values. In the event that the carrying values are not recovered by future undiscounted cash flows, as a second step, we compare the carrying values to the related fair values and, if lower, record an impairment adjustment. For purposes of fair value, we generally use replacement costs for tangible fixed assets and discounted cash flows, using risk-adjusted discount rates, for intangible assets.

Financial instruments – Financial instruments consist of cash, evidence of ownership in an entity, and contracts that both (i) impose on one entity a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial instrument to a second entity, or to exchange other financial instruments on potentially unfavorable terms with the second entity, and (ii) conveys to that second entity a contractual right (a) to receive cash or another financial instrument from the first entity, or (b) to exchange other financial instruments on potentially favorable terms with the first entity. Accordingly, our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities.  We carry cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities at historical costs; their respective estimated fair values approximate carrying values.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – Overall (“ASC 105-10”). ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Codification superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification is non-authoritative. The FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”). The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right. ASUs will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the bases for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification. References made to FASB guidance throughout this document have been updated for the Codification.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was conducted, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of March 31, 2011.  This evaluation was to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commission's rules and forms.  In addition, the evaluation’s goal was to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive and Principal Financial Officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that as of March 31, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses described below.

In light of the material weaknesses described below, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

A material weakness is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standard No. 5) or combination of control deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Management has identified the following four material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that, as of March 31, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective:

Deficiencies pertaining to a lack of human resources within our finance and accounting functions: We currently only have two employees. The lack of appropriately skilled personnel and less effective monitoring activities could result in material misstatements to financial statements not being detected in a timely manner.

Deficiencies pertaining to the lack of controls or ineffectively designed controls: Our control design analysis and process walk-throughs disclosed a number of instances where review approvals were undocumented, where established policies and procedures were not defined, and controls were not in place.

Deficiencies related to information technology control design and operating effectiveness weaknesses: This material weakness resulted from the absence of key formalized information technology policies and procedures and could result in (1) unauthorized system access, (2) application changes being implemented without adequate reliability testing, (3) inconsistent investigation of system errors and the absence of timely or properly considered remedial actions, and (4) over reliance on spreadsheet applications without quality control assurances. These factors could lead to material errors and misstatements to financial statements occurring without timely detection.

Deficiencies related to failures in operating effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting: Our procedures relating to operating effectiveness, including monitoring activities, of financial reporting internal controls continue to be ineffective. When an assessment was done to confirm the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting, controls were not operating effectively. We need to remediate our material weakness in internal control.
