 Explanatory Notes
 

In this Annual Report on Form 10-K, DIRECT LED, Inc. is sometimes referred to as the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us” and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is sometimes referred to as the “SEC”.

PART I

Item 1.  Business.

Background

Direct LED, INC. (the “Company”) is a development stage company. The Company was organized under the laws of the state of Delaware on May 14, 2012.  The Company is currently an emerging growth company. During the period we are considered an emerging growth company, we will be exempt from the provisions of Section 404 (b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 and Section 14 (a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102 (b) (1) while we are considered an emerging growth company. We would effectively retain emerging growth company status up to five years from the date of the first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement or until we attain $1 billion in total annual gross revenues. (See “Risk Factors”)

Direct LED, INC. has never declared bankruptcy, it has never been in receivership, and it has never been involved in any legal action or proceedings. Since becoming incorporated, has not made any significant purchase or sale of assets, nor has it been involved in any mergers, acquisitions or consolidations. The Company is not a blank check registrant as that term is defined in Rule 419(a) (2) of Regulation C of the Securities Act of 1933, since it has a specific business plan or purpose. Neither the Company nor its officers and directors intend for the Company to be used as a vehicle for a private company to become a reporting company.

Since our inception, we have been engaged in business planning activities, including researching the industry, identifying target markets for our products, identifying strategic acquisitions, identifying and contracting for the manufacturing of our products, developing our business models and financial forecasts, and identifying future sources of capital.

Currently, the Company has 2 officers and directors who have assumed responsibility for all planning, development and operational duties, and will continue to do so throughout the beginning stages of the Company. We intend to outsource the development of our products and are currently in discussion with a product manufacturer in Taiwan to establish an exclusive manufacturing agreement utilizing licensed technology. As of this date, no definitive agreement has been reached. Other than the Officers/Directors, there are no employees at the present time.  We do anticipate hiring employees when the need arises.

The Company may pursue strategic acquisitions that complement its current business model within the LED lighting industry which may allow it to expand its activities and capabilities and advance its production. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

Direct LED, INC. (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation organized on May 14, 2012. The Company is based in New York and intends to be engaged in the sale of LED (light emitting diode) lighting and display products. The Company intends to utilize a patented technology available to sell and distribute “Light & Light” LED Luminx brand A-19 bulbs to major discount stores throughout the U.S. Such stores include but are not limited to Wal-Mart, Costco and Menards. The Company believes that offering the newest technology coupled with a significantly lower price point will create a window of opportunity in the US marketplace in the immediate future.
 
Industry Background
 
The Company intends to sell LED products to major discount stores throughout the US. The technology in traditional “incandescent” bulbs is more than a century old. Such bulbs waste most of the electricity that feeds them, turning it into heat. The 100 watt bulb, in particular, produces so much heat that it is used in the Hasbro’s easy bake oven.

In 2007, Congress passed a law mandating that bulbs producing 100 watts worth of light meet certain efficiency goals, starting in 2012. Conventional light bulbs do not meet those goals therefore laws prohibit making or importing them. The same law will apply to remaining bulbs 40 watts and above in 2014.
Based on these changes, there has been a major shift in lighting technology. Incandescent and compact fluorescent bulbs are being phased out and LED lighting is being phased in. LED light bulbs will eventually be what we use to replace incandescent bulbs. The Company intends to sell and distribute a “Light & Light” LED product to major discount stores in the US at a lower price than currently offered by G.E or Philips.

On average, lighting typically accounts for 22% to 30% of Commercial energy consumption, with Retail properties using 37% and Hospitals using 50% or more of their electricity on lighting. Historically LEDs were limited in their lighting application because they did not produce enough light and were difficult to produce. Recent improvements have resolved these issues and have opened up virtually every aspect of lighting to LEDs. The emergence of LEDs is crystallized by Starbucks, which is exclusively using LEDs in all new stores beginning in 2010. LED bulbs are now one of the most cost-effective ways to save energy and money in this multi-billion dollar industry, because they use 80% less power. LEDs are also dimmable, with outstanding color temperature choices and longevity that extends over decades. The advantages LEDs enjoy over incandescent and fluorescent lights are considerable:

·  
80-90% less energy compared to incandescent
·  
50% less energy compared to fluorescents
·  
Operating life of 50,000-100,000 hours. 100 times longer than incandescent and at least two times longer than top end fluorescents, therefore reducing maintenance and replacement costs
·  
100% Green. No Mercury
·  
Better quality of light
 
Our Product
Our current business consists of sales of our own LED lights. We have received a capital contribution of $320,000 from our majority shareholder Chun Pao Leng in the form of cash payment. These funds were paid directly to vendors Alpha Plus Epi, Co. and Chang Technology Corp, our manufacturing and technology partners. Chun Pao Leng directed us to record the investment as a capital contribution as additional paid in capital. Alpha was paid to design and manufacture 30,000 A-19 lights and Chang was paid to design and manufacture 20,000 MR-16 lights which we are expected to receive by February 2013. These funds enabled the Company to build molds for its light products and to purchase inventory. We intend to provide product samples to potential vendors for the purpose of receiving purchase orders.

We also intend to sell and distribute a higher end more expensive A-19 LED bulb to be developed by ITRI with patented technology to create a wide angle “Light & Light” product. A-19 is an industry classification of a typical light bulb. The “A” refers to the bulbous shape seen in traditional incandescent light bulbs for general use. The 19 refers to the diameter in eights of an inch, or 2 3/8”. Traditional 60W incandescent bulbs are usually A-19s. The Company is currently in discussions with ITRI for the purpose of obtaining an exclusive U.S. license to sell the product. We expect to enter into an agreement upon completion of the design of our exclusive bulb which is decorative and will be a higher price point to be sold in more specialty stores. There is no definitive agreement and there is no assurance a final agreement will be reached. In addition, the Company is seeking a joint venture relationship with a manufacturing partner who will be responsible for production, quality control, UL and other certifications and product development. The Company will be responsible for sales, marketing, product specifications, reliability and customer relations. New product development and specifications will be shared between the partners. No joint venture agreement has been entered into as of this date. The “Light & Light” LED bulb is the world’s first all-plastic LED bulb. The bulb is lightweight with high luminous efficiency and has an illumination angle of 330 degrees. The product also boasts good heat dissipation and will not break when dropped. It is highly reliable and has a 50,000 hour life.

The 50,000 life is based on the lifetime of the LED’s which have MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) well in excess of 50,000 hours. There are no moving parts or significant wear out items in the design. The actual lifetime can be calculated when the production designs are finalized, by the 50,000 hour estimate is conservative.

The Company believes that it can provide its Luminx product to the retail consumer at the following price points.

· 25 Watt equivalent
$7.99
 
· 60 Watt equivalent
$9.99
 
· 100 Watt equivalent
$16.99
 

These prices are lower than the price of comparative products currently sold by our competitors. The Luminx brand is in the opinion of our management team, positioned in the market to sell a significant amount of LED lighting products. The retail stores will have empty retail space based on less traditional incandescent products being sold due to the government mandated phase-out. Currently there is a market window for the sub- $10 high quality LED product that the Company plans to exploit.

LED lighting provides savings in the following three ways:

·  
Electricity
·  
Cooling
·  
Bulb replacement

Due to the long operating life of LEDs (50,000 hours), labor savings are also substantial. Approximately seventy percent (70%) of the total savings from LEDs is attributed to electricity savings.
 
Sales Strategy
The Company’s sales strategy is to seize the first mover advantage it has in the market over the larger players by focusing on sizable low hanging fruit opportunities which exist in the commercial and municipal markets. The Company intends to offer its A-19 Luminx Series LED bulb which utilizes a patented technology for a wide angle “Light & Light” bulb to major discount stores in the US.
The Company has current open communications with major US retail chains interested in placing sales orders including Wal-Mart, Costco and Menards. Although no definitive agreements exists, representatives from certain retail claims have indicated a firm interest in placing purchase orders at such time as the Company has demonstrated it can deliver its new product line.

The Company intends to promote an end cap program to display Luminx lighting products as follows:

·  
LED A-19 bulb- 35,60,100 watt equivalent
·  
LED PAR 20, 30

End cap programs refer to the space in discount and supermarket stores at the end of an aisle. This space is where major promotion items are placed for high visibility and sales. Our principals have experience in designing the end cap displays and running promotional sales using end caps.

It is the Company’s intention and business model to have each retailer display 400 to 460 units and maintain an inventory of approximately 300 units for a total of 700-760 units per location. This equates to approximately $2,800 per store. Our initial target is to put our product into 600 stores which equates to a total shipping invoice of $1,680,000. Each store will be responsible for implementing an advertising program which we will assist them with. We will own the shelf space in each location to display Direct LED bulbs for the entire year. Given the quality of our product and the price point comparatives, we believe we have a window of opportunity. It should be made clear, however, that there are no retail distribution agreements in place at this time.

Business Strategy

The Company will continue to seek strategic alliances and joint ventures in the LED Lighting industry. The Company will seek such alliances for the express purpose of offering the most current LED technology under the Luminx brand to the marketplace in the US. Such alliances may include entering into agreements on an exclusive basis whereby the Company will have the exclusive right to utilize the best available LED technology to sell product to major discount stores throughout the US. The Company also intends to acquire an interest in a company that designs, manufactures and packages its LED products and is currently in final discussions with Chang Technology to serve as the manufactures of the LED products. Chang Technology is an established manufacturer of LED technology.  They have been manufacturing LED products for 3 years and have shipped over 700,000 products.  They currently make LED chips, UV LED chips and LED lamps.   They have the expertise, plant and equipment to manufacture our A19 LED products.  In addition the technology license for the Light&Light products will include technology transfer and engineering support to assure smooth transition into manufacturing. The Company is currently in discussions to accomplish this operational objective.

Competition

The major competition in the LED lighting industry are Philips, General Electric and Osram Sylvania. The Company’s A-19 Luminx product utilizes patented technology at a more competitive price point compared to these companies and believes it can deliver its product to major discount stores in the US.

We intend to trademark “Luminix Lighting” as our brand name.

Overview

This section must be read in conjunction with the Audited Financial Statements included in this prospectus.

Results of Operation

We are a development stage company, incorporated on May 14, 2012 and have generated revenues of $96,000 from our business operations. We intend to enter into the LED lighting and display industry.  See “Description of Business” contained herein.

We have received approximately $320,000 in funding which was utilized for molds and manufacturing our LED light products. In addition, we also expect to have an exclusive license to sell a higher end more expensive decorative LED bulb once we have completed the agreement with ITRI which we anticipate will be completed once the final product design is complete. There is no assurance the ITRI agreement will be finalized. Expenses of issuance and distribution have been funded by issuance of shares of our common stock for services with the exception of our auditing fees which were paid in cash.

We also intend to sell and distribute a higher end more expensive A-19 LED bulb to be developed by ITRI with patented technology to create a wide angle “Light & Light” product. A-19 is an industry classification of a typical light bulb. The “A” refers to the bulbous shape seen in traditional incandescent light bulbs for general use. The 19 refers to the diameter in eights of an inch, or 2 3/8”. Traditional 60W incandescent bulbs are usually A-19s. The Company is currently in discussions with ITRI for the purpose of obtaining an exclusive U.S. license to sell the product. We expect to enter into an agreement upon completion of the design of our exclusive bulb which is decorative and will be a higher price point to be sold in more specialty stores. There is no definitive agreement; however, we anticipate a final agreement in the first quarter of 2013. In addition, the Company is seeking a joint venture relationship with a manufacturing partner who will be responsible for production, quality control, UL and other certifications and product development. The Company will be responsible for sales, marketing, product specifications, reliability and customer relations. New product development and specifications will be shared between the partners. No joint venture agreement has been entered into as of this date. The “Light & Light” LED bulb is the world’s first all-plastic LED bulb. The bulb is lightweight with high luminous efficiency and has an illumination angle of 330 degrees. The product also boasts good heat dissipation and will not break when dropped. It is highly reliable and has a 50,000 hour life.

Our Officers and Directors are responsible for our managerial and organizational structure which will include preparation of disclosure and accounting controls under the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. When these controls are implemented, they will be responsible for the administration of the controls. Should they not have sufficient experience, they may be incapable of creating and implementing the controls which may cause us to be subject to sanctions and fines by the Securities and Exchange Commission which ultimately could cause you to lose your investment.

Since incorporation, the Company has financed its operations through private placement capital. As of May 22, 2012, we had $100 cash on hand and accounts receivable of $96,000. We had accounts payable of $76,800.We had total sales of $96,000, costs of sales of $76,800, and operating expenses totaling $320,854, which were related to start-up costs. Cash on hand on May 31, 2012 was $100; however, the board has determined that December 31 will be the Company’s fiscal year end. The notes to the financials have been changed accordingly.

To date, the Company has not fully implemented its planned principal operations or strategic business plan.  We are attempting to secure sufficient monetary assets to increase operations. We cannot assure any investor that we will be able to enter into sufficient business operations adequate enough to insure continued operations.

Our current business consists of sales of our own LED lights. We have received a capital contribution from our majority shareholder Chun Pao Leng in the form of cash payment. These funds were paid directly to vendors Alpha Plus Epi, Co. and Chang Technology Corp. Chun Pao Leng directed us to record the investment as a capital contribution as additional paid in capital. These funds enabled the Company to build molds for its light products and to purchase inventory.

We have received an order for 8000 lighted headboards from Lightheaded Beds, a company which retails LED lighted headboards. Each headboard is made with 50 LED chips and covered with a clear acrylic cover. We expect delivery on June 15, 2013.

We are also planning to order additional pieces if we can turn over our initial 8000 unit order. This product is intended to be sold through online sales through Costco, Sam’s Wholesale, and a few smaller furniture stores. We expect to finalize an exclusive agreement whereby we intend to sell the LED light headboard product with a metal bed set, which pursuant to a license agreement, will reflect Disney images. We intend to sell this product trough Wal-Mart and Target at a retail price of $99.99. This price should be confirmed once we have submitted our final designs and samples to the Wal-Mart buyer we are currently in discussions with. We expect Wal-Mart to approve a substantial order.

Based upon our exclusive agreement with Lightheaded Beds, we have the right to develop new technology to incorporate into the existing product. For example, we may be able to add music or speaking features to a picture story or moving picture with a shining light on the picture. We intend to design not only the Lightheaded Board, but also a picture frame to hang in a child’s room, which will have the capability of using LED lighting to create a moving picture. All units will be able to be charged under a DC electric system so that when the frame is hanging on the wall, there will be no visible cable or wires. With the Lightheaded Beds Disney license agreement, Disney images can be shown in a child’s room with a 2D light picture.

We also intend to continue the development of the A-19 bulb. We have successfully sold a floor program to Shop Rite, which is a 35 store super market chain in New Jersey. This represents our first display project and we are continuing to develop a changing color light bulb with a remote control system. In June, we expect to begin delivery of an A-19 dimmer able bulb to retail at $9.99 per bulb. We anticipate being able to deliver product to Wal-Mart and Costco in July 2013.

We currently do not own any significant plant or equipment that we would seek to sell in the near future.  

Our management anticipates hiring employees over the next twelve (12) months as needed. Currently, the Company believes the services provided by its officers and directors appear sufficient at this time.

The Company has not paid for expenses on behalf of any directors.  Additionally we believe that this policy shall not materially change within the next twelve months.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
 
We have not generated positive cash flows from operating activities for the period ended December 31, 2012.  Operating expenditures during the period covered by this report include general and administrative costs (See “Financial Statements). 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities
 
We made no investments as of December 31, 2012.
 
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
 
We have financed our operations primarily from a capital contribution of $320,000 from a majority shareholder of the company. Such capital contribution was utilized to pay 2012 research and development expenditures.

Intangible Assets

There were no intangible assets during the period from inception through December 31, 2012.

Material Commitments
 
There were no material commitments for the period from inception through December 31, 2012.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
  
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
 
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We have no cash equivalents.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Intangible Assets

We evaluate the recoverability of identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an intangible asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. There was no impairment loss for the period from May 14, 2012 through December 31, 2012.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes as outlined in ASC 740 “Income Taxes”, which was previously Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company considers that the carrying amount of financial instruments, including accounts payable, approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Share Based Payments
(included in ASC 718 “Compensation-Stock Compensation”)

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” which replaces SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25. Under SFAS No. 123(R), companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees or independent contractors are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options and warrants, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, or “SAB 107”. SAB 107 expresses views of the staff regarding the interaction between SFAS No. 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides the staff's views regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies. SFAS No. 123(R) permits public companies to adopt its requirements using one of two methods. On April 14, 2005, the SEC adopted a new rule amending the compliance dates for SFAS 123(R). Companies may elect to apply this statement either prospectively, or on a modified version of retrospective application under which financial statements for prior periods are adjusted on a basis consistent with the pro forma disclosures required for those periods under SFAS 123.

The Company has fully adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) and related interpretations as provided by SAB 107. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant as the fair value of the share-based payments. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the share-based payments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has adopted all recently issued accounting pronouncements.  The adoption of the accounting pronouncements, including those not yet effective, is not anticipated to have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Item 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

We are not subject to risks related to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
 
Our functional currency is the United States dollar. We do not transact our business in other currencies. As a result, we are not subject to exposure from movements in foreign currency exchange rates. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Direct LED, Inc.
 
 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of  Direct LED, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012, and the related  statement of operations, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the period beginning from May 14, 2012 ( its inception) to December 31, 2012 . These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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.  An  audit includes 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 audit provides 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 Direct LED, Inc. as of December 31, 2012, and the results of its operation and its cash flows for the period then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the note to the financial statements, the Company has not established sufficient source of revenue to cover its operating costs and losses from operations raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Direct LED, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes To Financial Statements


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
This summary of significant accounting policies of Direct LED, Inc. (the Company) is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

History

Direct LED, Inc. (the “Company”), a development stage company, was organized in Delaware on May 14, 2012. The Company is in the development stage as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915, “Development Stage Entities.”  The Company is in the LED consumer lighting technology business. The Company’s Board of Directors have chosen a December 31 year end  for reporting purposes.

Development Stage Company and Going-Concern

The Company is in the development stage since planned principal activities have not commenced and the Company has generated limited revenue. In a development stage company, management devotes most of its activities to developing a market for its products and services. These financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

The continuation of the Company as a going-concern and the ability of the Company to emerge from the development stage is dependent upon, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity and debt financings to continue operations and to generate sustainable revenue. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise adequate equity or debt financings or generate profitable operations.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

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

Financial instruments, which will potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of cash and accounts receivable.  The Company places its cash with high quality financial institutions and at times may exceed the FDIC insurance limit.  The Company will extend credit based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition, generally without collateral.  Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each customer’s financial condition.  The Company will monitor its exposure for credit losses and will maintain an allowance for anticipated losses as required.
 

 
 
F - 6

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, Direct LED, Inc. considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Inventories
 
Inventories are comprised of LED light bulbs, which are stated at lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.  A valuation allowance is provided for obsolete and slow-moving inventory to write cost down to market if necessary.   As of December 31, 2012 the Company determined that no valuation allowance was required.

Revenue Recognition

Direct LED, Inc. recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
 
Cost of sales
 
The Company includes all costs directly related to the production and acquisition of goods for sale in cost of goods sold. The Company will classify direct material, direct labor, production related overheads, freight and distribution costs, and the depreciation and amortization of assets directly used in the production of goods for sale as cost of sales in the statement of operations.
 
Research and development expenses

Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expenses. The amounts charged for the initial period May 14, 2012 to December 31, 2012 was $320,000.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

The Company will include all costs not directly related to the production or acquisition of goods for sale in selling, general and administrative expenses. These costs will include mainly administrative and selling labor, related support materials and the depreciation and amortization of assets used in the administrative and selling functions.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Freight billed to customers will be considered sales revenue and the related freight cost as a cost of sales.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
 
We will provide an allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts receivable balances based on historical experience and the aging of the related accounts receivable.  As of December 31, 2012 the Company’s accounts receivable balance is $96,000, and management has determined that no allowance is necessary at December 31, 2012.
 
Advertising
 
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. The Company incurred $-0- in advertising costs for the period May 14, 2012 (Date of inception) through December 31, 2012.
 
 
 
F - 7

 
 
Income Taxes

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes pursuant to ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.”  Under this method, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of temporary differences between the tax basis of the assets and liabilities and their financial amounts at year-end.  The Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An interpretation of FASB Statement 109, (formerly FASB issued Interpretation 48 - FIN 48), on May 14, 2012.  FASB ASC 740-10-65 clarifies the accounting and disclosure requirements for uncertainty in tax positions, as defined.  It required a two-step approach to evaluate tax positions and determine if they should be recognized in the financial statements.  The two-step approach involves recognizing any tax positions that are “more likely than not” to occur and then measuring those positions to determine if they are recognizable in the financial statements.  Management regularly reviews and analyzes all tax positions and has determined that no aggressive tax positions have been taken.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share consists of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effects of options and warrants calculated using the treasury stock method. In loss periods, dilutive common equivalent shares are excluded as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Stockholder’s Equity

The Company records shares as issued when the obligation to issue has occurred and the subscriber has all the rights and duties of a stockholder.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest.

The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

● Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
 
 
 
F - 8

 

● Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

● Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 Stock-based compensation
 
The Company will record compensation expense associated with stock options and other forms of employee and non-employee equity compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, formerly referenced as SFAS 123R, “Share-Based Payment”. The Company will estimate the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula and a single option approach. This fair value will then be amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period.

During the period May 14, 2012 (Date of inception) through December 31, 2012, the Company incurred $-0- in stock-based compensation expense.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Direct LED, Inc. does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a material effect on its results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

NOTE 2 - STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY

The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock having a $0.0001 par value.  As of December 31, 2012 there were 8,535,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

On May 14, 2012 the Company issued 1,000 shares of common stock for cash of $100.

On July 21, 2012 the Company issued 8,534,000 shares of common stock to its founders at par value.

The Company recorded a capital contribution by it’s majority shareholder of $320,000 in exchange for research and development expenditures paid by the majority shareholder directly to the vendor.

NOTE 3 – INCOME TAXES


The reconciliation of the effective income tax rate to the federal statutory rate for the period May 14, 2012 (inception) to December 31, 2012 is as follows:
 
Federal income tax rate
    34 %
Effect of net operating loss
    (34.0 )%
Effective income tax rate
    0.0 %
 
 
 
F - 9

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the net effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for income tax purposes.  Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2012 are as follows:
 
Net operating loss carryforwards
  $ 102,562  
Less – Valuation allowance
    (102,562 )

The Company has a net operating loss of approximately $301,500 which will expire starting in 2027.  The Company has provided a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset since management has not been able to determine that the realization of that asset is more likely than not.

NOTE 4 - SEGMENT REPORTING

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had one operating segment,  consumer lighting products.  For the period from May 14, 2012 (inception) through December 31, 2012 the Company had one customer which accounted for 100% of the revenue.  The customer was located in the United States.

NOTE 5 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events that occurred up to the time of the Company's issuance of its financial statements.




 
F - 10

 

Item 9.  Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

None.

Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of our fourth fiscal quarter covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Our management of is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and financial officer and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, 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 dispositions of the assets of the Company;

 
·
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
 
 
·
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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.

The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012.  In making this assessment, the Company’s management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.  The COSO framework is based upon five integrated components of control: control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communications and ongoing monitoring.

Based on the assessment performed, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2012, is effective and provides reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of its financial reporting and the preparation of its financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Further, management has not identified any material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as of March 27, 2012.

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