ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
As used in this annual report, references to “Sanborn”, “Universal Tech”, “Universal Tech Corp.”, the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us” refer to Sanborn Resources, Ltd., unless the context otherwise indicates.
Corporate History
Sanborn Resources, Ltd. (formerly Universal Tech Corp.) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on May 17, 2011. We are a development stage company that has generated only $102,500 in revenues to date. On March 4, 2013, we filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to, among other things, (1) effect a one hundred for one (100:1) forward split of our common stock, (2) change the name of the Company to “Sanborn Resources, Ltd.” from “Universal Tech Corp.” and (iii) change our authorized stock to one billion (1,000,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and twenty million (20,000,000) shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share.
Our Business
From the period from inception (May 17, 2011) through October 3, 2012, we focused on investing in the international art market through purchasing and reselling artwork. On October 3, 2012, in connection with a change in management, we commenced evaluating several opportunities in mining and minerals in Brazil and elsewhere. To date, we have had preliminary confidential discussions with several businesses concerning possible opportunities. However, there exist no agreements, arrangements or understandings as to any new opportunities or businesses as of the date of this annual report.
Our Target Market
Our target market consisted of professionals and business owners who had income of approximately $250,000 per year or more, and who had not previously purchased art. We believed that many of these investors were seeking ways to diversify their investments with tangible assets.
Our Customers
Potential purchasers included collectors, investors and aesthetic buyers. Collectors consist of museums and individuals who are knowledgeable about art and are seeking to create a meaningful and cohesive grouping of fine art. They generally purchase through all three distribution channels. Investors may be collectors as well. However, their purchasing strategy is generally based on the likelihood that the purchased work will appreciate in value, rather than (or in addition to) aesthetic and conceptual considerations. Investors also purchase art from galleries, art dealers and at auction, as well as directly from artists. Aesthetic buyers purchase individual works of fine art for the pleasure they afford them and to enhance their surroundings. Unlike the other purchasers, the purchases of aesthetic buyers may not involve research or expertise. This segment tends to purchase primarily at art galleries. We primarily targeted investors and did not focus on the other two types of art purchasers.
Distribution
Art sales channels include auction houses, galleries or art dealers, and the artists themselves. A small number of prominent international auction houses deal in fine and decorative arts, including Sotheby’s, Christie’s, Bonhams, Dorotheum, Phillips de Pury and Swann. However, fine art is also sold at smaller local auction houses in connection with estate sales and general auctions. In recent years, online auctions have become a major channel for selling art. Online auction houses include LiveAuctioneers.com, eBay Art and eWolfs. Art galleries and dealers include sophisticated professionals who represent both emerging and established artists as well as businesses that sell homemade crafts and mass reproductions. Many serious collectors and investors purchase directly from the artists. This approach requires considerable expertise and time, as purchasers need to learn about the artists, identify promising talent and develop relationships. In recent years, art fairs and shows have become an established feature of the art market. Both galleries and artists display at fairs and shows. In 2011 and 2012, we sponsored “home gallery openings” where we displayed the artwork at parties held in private homes to potential purchasers. We hosted one such event in each of Israel and the United Kingdom. We did not have a long-term formal written agreement with any of our suppliers, and typically transacted business with our suppliers on an order-by-order basis. We purchased all of the artwork on consignment.
Our Customer Relations Strategy
It is our belief that that the experience of entering a gallery is daunting for many first-time purchasers of art and that many potential art buyers will not enter a gallery for fear of appearing ignorant or unsophisticated. By bringing the gallery into the comfort zone of the home or office, we believe that we made it easier for potential art collectors to become actual purchasers. In addition, by positioning the purchase as an investment opportunity, we think that we moved the conversation into an area in which the professionals and small business owners we are targeting feel a greater competence, i.e. investments. We also focused on educating our customers about the artworks, and hoped that this would help us create ongoing multi-purchase relationships with the customers.
Competition
We are not aware of any competitors that used our approach to art sales. However, we competed with many traditional large art galleries and other dealers, including dealers who sold exclusively through the internet. These included industry leaders Sotheby’s and Christie’s, as well as other, smaller art sellers.
Employees
We do not have any employees. Our officers and director work for us on a part time basis as independent contractors.

MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.
Our common stock was originally approved for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board on May 10, 2012 under the trading symbol UTCC. In connection with our forward split, in March 2013, we filed an Issuer Company-Related Action Notification Form with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). The forward split is scheduled to take effect in late March or April, 2013. Upon approval of the forward split, FINRA will issue us a new ticker symbol for trading purposes.
There is currently no market for our shares. We cannot give you any assurance that the shares will ever have a market or that if a market for our shares ever develops, that you will be able to sell your shares. In addition, even if a public market for our shares develops, there is no assurance that a secondary public market will be sustained.
In the past, we have not declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock, and we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock. Rather, we intend to retain future earnings (if any) to fund the operation and expansion of our business and for general corporate purposes. Subject to legal and contractual limits, our board of directors will make any decision as to whether to pay dividends in the future.
Record Holders
As of March 29, 2013, we had outstanding 240,000,000 shares of common stock, which were held by 13 stockholders of record.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Our Business and Recent Events
We were formed as a corporation pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware on May 17, 2011. We have historically conducted our business to leverage the burgeoning interest in art investment by tailoring the sales process through a direct sales approach. On October 3, 2012, our former officers and directors resigned and James Davidson was appointed as our sole director and Chief Executive Officer effective upon the resignations. As a result of Mr. Davidson’s appointment, we are evaluating several opportunities in mining and minerals in Brazil and elsewhere. However, there exist no agreements, arrangements or understandings as to any new opportunities or businesses as of the date of this report.
On March 4, 2013, we filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to, among other things, (1) effect a one hundred for one (100:1) forward split of our common stock, (2) change our name to Sanborn Resources, Ltd. and (iii) change the authorized stock to one billion (1,000,000,000) shares of common stock and twenty million (20,000,000) shares of preferred stock. All share and per share values for all periods presented in the accompanying financial statements are retroactively restated for the effect of the forward split.
Additional Equity Raises
As of December 31, 2012, we had approximately $2,346 in cash. As a result, we are investigating alternative business opportunities, which may include a merger with another company.
On October 10, 2012, we received working capital financing in the form of a $50,000 loan. The loan is due on demand and bears 16% annual interest.
On February 26, 2013, we issued a note payable amounting to $50,000. The note bears interest at 16% per annum and is due on demand. The note was used for working capital purposes.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, we believe that the following accounting policies are the most critical to aid you in fully understanding and evaluating this management discussion and analysis.
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We continually evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, recovery of long-lived assets, income taxes, and the valuation of equity transactions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.
Development Stage Company
We are presented as a development stage company. Activities during the development stage include organizing the business and raising capital. We are a development stage company with insignificant revenues and no profits. The Company has not commenced significant operations and, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915 “Development Stage Entities”, is considered a development stage company.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenues when delivery of goods or completion of services has occurred provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, acceptance has been approved by its customers, the fee is fixed or determinable based on the completion of stated terms and conditions, and collection of any related receivable is probable.
Results of Operations
For the year ended December 31, 2012 and for the period from Inception (May 17, 2011) to December 31, 2011, we had revenues of $78,500 and $24,000, respectively. Cost of sales was $51,810 and $15,840 for the year ended December 31, 2012 and for the period from Inception (May 17, 2011) to December 31, 2011 respectively. Gross profit during the year ended December 31, 2012 and for the period from Inception (May 17, 2011) to December 31, 2011 were at 34% for both periods.
Operating Expenses were $160,778 for the year ended December 31, 2012, as compared to $8,351 for the period from Inception ((May 17, 2011) to December 31, 2011. The increase in expenses was mainly a result of an increase in professional, consulting fees and travel expenses. Our business began on May 17, 2011 and accordingly, we had minimal operations for the prior period.
For the year ended December 31, 2012 and for the period from Inception ((May 17, 2011) to December 31, 2011, we incurred a net loss of $135,753 and $191, respectively. Our cumulative net loss during the period from May 17, 2011 (inception) through December 31, 2012 was $135,944.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2012, our current assets were $2,346 and our current liabilities were $69,037, resulting in working capital deficit of $66,691. We have been funding our operations through the issuance of notes payable and through the sale of our common stock for operating capital purposes.
Operating Activities
For the year ended December 31, 2012, net cash flows used in operating activities was $130,629 and was primarily attributable to our net loss of $135,753. For the period from Inception (May 17, 2011) to December 31, 2011, net cash flows provided by operating activities was $13,722 and was primarily attributable to our net loss of $191, offset by total changes in assets and liabilities of $13,913 due to an increase in deferred offering cost of $19,500, and decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $33,413.
Financing Activities
Net cash flows provided by financing activities were $89,253 for the year ended December 31, 2012. We received net proceeds from the sale of our common stock of $20,500, contributed capital of $18,753 and proceeds from issuance of notes payable of $50,000. For the period from Inception (May 17, 2011) to December 31, 2011, net cash provided by financing activities was $30,000 received from sale of common stock of $30,000.
We anticipate that depending on market conditions and our plan of operations, we may incur operating losses in the foreseeable future. Therefore, our auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in their audit opinion for the year ended December 31, 2012. We estimate that based on current plans and assumptions, that our available cash is insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements for the next 12 months. We presently have no other alternative source of working capital. We may not have sufficient working capital to provide working capital necessary for our ongoing operations and obligations for the next 12 months. As of December 31, 2012, we had $2,346 available in cash.
Contractual Obligations
We have certain fixed contractual obligations and commitments that include future estimated payments. Changes in our business needs, cancellation provisions, changing interest rates, and other factors may result in actual payments differing from the estimates. We cannot provide certainty regarding the timing and amounts of payments. We have presented below a summary of the most significant assumptions used in our determination of amounts presented in the tables, in order to assist in the review of this information within the context of our consolidated financial position, results of operation, and cash flows.
The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2012, and the effect these obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods:
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
DECEMBER 31, 2012
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Sanborn Resources, Ltd.
West Palm Beach, Florida
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Sanborn Resources, Ltd., (formerly Universal Tech Corp.), (a Delaware corporation in the development stage) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012, for the period from Inception (May 17, 2011) to December 31, 2011 and for the period from Inception (May 17, 2011) 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 standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). 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. 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 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 Sanborn Resources, Ltd. (formerly Universal Tech Corp.). as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012, for the period from Inception (May 17, 2011) to December 31, 2011 and for the period from Inception (May 17, 2011) to December 31, 2012in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company is in the development stage, and has not established any source of revenue to cover its operating costs. As such, it has incurred net loss of $135,753 for the year ended December 31, 2012 and accumulated deficit of $135,944 as of December 31, 2012. Further, as of December 31, 2012, the cash resources of the Company were insufficient to meet its planned business objectives. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan regarding these matters is also described in Note 2 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
Sanborn Resources, Ltd., formerly Universal Tech Corp. (the “Company”), is in the development stage, and has limited operations. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on May 17, 2011. The business plan of the Company is to become a leading company in the field of direct marketing and sale of art.
On March 4, 2013, the Company filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to, among other things, (1) effect a one hundred for one (100:1) forward split of the Company’s common stock, (2) change the name of the Company to Sanborn Resources, Ltd. and (iii) change the authorized stock to one billion (1,000,000,000) shares of common stock and twenty million (20,000,000) shares of preferred stock. All share and per share values for all periods presented in the accompanying financial statements are retroactively restated for the effect of the forward split.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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.
Development Stage Company
The Company is presented as a development stage company. Activities during the development stage include organizing the business and raising capital. The Company is a development stage company with insignificant revenues and no profits. The Company has not commenced significant operations and, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915 “Development Stage Entities”, is considered a development stage company.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with a high credit quality financial institution. The Company’ account at this institution is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to $250,000. In addition to the basic insurance deposit coverage, the FDIC is providing temporary unlimited coverage for non-interest bearing transaction accounts through December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2012, the Company has not reached bank balances exceeding the FDIC insurance limit on interest bearing accounts. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institution, the Company evaluates at least annually the rating of the financial institution in which it holds deposits.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues when delivery of goods or completion of services has occurred provided there is persuasive evidence of an agreement, acceptance has been approved by its customers, the fee is fixed or determinable based on the completion of stated terms and conditions, and collection of any related receivable is probable.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
The Company adopted FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing US GAAP that require the use of fair value measurements which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:
Level 1:
Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2:
Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data; and
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for accounts payable and accrued interest approximate their estimated fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the note payable at December 31, 2012, approximate their respective fair value based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The Company did not identify any other assets or liabilities that are required to be presented on the balance sheets at fair value in accordance with the accounting guidance.
In addition, FASB ASC 825-10-25 “Fair Value Option” was effective for January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10-25 expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.
Stock-based compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment Topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.
Pursuant to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the “measurement date.” The expense is recognized over the non-employee’s service period.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
Net loss per common share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260: Earnings Per Share. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period. The computation of diluted net loss per share does not include dilutive common stock equivalents in the weighted average shares outstanding as they would be anti-dilutive. There were no dilutive financial instruments issued or outstanding for the period ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provision of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes” which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.
The Company follows the provision of the ASC 740-10 related to Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Position. When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be situated upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is most likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions.
Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.
The Company believes its tax positions are all highly certain of being upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax benefits.
The Company has adopted ASC 740-10-25 Definition of Settlement, which provides guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits and provides that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion and examination by a taxing authority without being legally extinguished. For tax position considered effectively settled, an entity would recognize the full amount of tax benefit, even if the tax position is not considered more likely that not to be sustained based solely on the basis of its technical merits and the statute of limitations remains open. The federal and state income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by the IRS and state taxing authorities, generally for three years after they were filed.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Deferred Offering Costs
The Company defers as other assets the direct incremental costs of raising capital until such time as the offering is completed. At the time of the completion of the offering, the costs are charged against the capital raised. Should the offering be terminated, deferred offering costs are charged to operations during the period in which the offering is terminated.
Common Stock Registration Expenses
The Company considers incremental costs and expenses related to the registration of equity securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), whether by contractual arrangement as of a certain date or by demand, to be unrelated to original issuance transactions. As such, subsequent registration costs and expenses are reflected in the accompanying financial statements as general and administrative expenses, and are expensed as incurred.
Lease Obligations
All non cancellable leases with an initial term greater than one year are categorized as either capital leases or operating leases. Assets recorded under capital leases are amortized according to the methods employed for property and equipment or over the term of the related lease, if shorter.
Fiscal Year End
The Company has adopted a fiscal year end of December 31.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment, on testing for indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The new guidance provides an entity to simplify the testing for a drop in value of intangible assets such as trademarks, patents, and distribution rights. The amended standard reduces the cost of accounting for indefinite-lived intangible assets, especially in cases where the likelihood of impairment is low. The changes permit businesses and other organizations to first use subjective criteria to determine if an intangible asset has lost value. The amendments to U.S. GAAP will be effective for fiscal years starting after September 15, 2012. The Company’s adoption of this accounting guidance does not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
There were other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has a stockholders’ deficit and accumulated deficit of $66,691 and $135,944, respectively, as of December 31, 2012, negative cash flows from operating activities and net loss of $130,629 and $135,753, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company anticipates further losses in the development of its business raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of common stock is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of the Company’s contemplated plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (“Disclosure Controls”), as defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of December 31, 2012, the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Disclosure Controls evaluation was done under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, due to our limited internal audit function, our Disclosure Controls were not effective as of December 31, 2012, such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act. Our management is also required to assess and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”). Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. During our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, management identified significant deficiency related to (i) our internal audit functions and (ii) a lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions. Therefore, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2012.
Management has determined that our internal audit function is significantly deficient due to insufficient qualified resources to perform internal audit functions.
Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, we will implement procedures to assure that the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions will be performed by separate individuals.
We believe that the foregoing steps will remediate the significant deficiency identified above, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these steps and make any changes that our management deems appropriate. Due to the nature of this significant deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting, there is more than a remote likelihood that misstatements which could be material to our annual or interim financial statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected.
A material weakness (within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 5) is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the company’s financial reporting.
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 and procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended December 31, 2012, there were no changes in our internal controls that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to have materially affected our internal control over financial reporting.
Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
