ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Back to
Some of the statements contained in this Form 10-K of Peregrine Industries, Inc. (hereinafter the "Company", "We" or the "Registrant") discuss future expectations, contain projections of our plan of operation or financial condition or state other forward-looking information. In this registration statement, forward-looking statements are generally identified by the words such as "anticipate", "plan", "believe", "expect", "estimate", and the like. Forward-looking statements involve future risks and uncertainties, there are factors that could cause actual results or plans to differ materially from those expressed or implied. These statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the statements. The forward-looking information is based on various factors and is derived using numerous assumptions. A reader, whether investing in the Company's securities or not, should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Annual Report. Important factors that may cause actual results to differ from projections include, for example:
- the success or failure of management's efforts to implement the Registrant's plan of operation;
- the ability of the Registrant to fund its operating expenses;
- the ability of the Registrant to compete with other companies that have a similar plan of operation;
- the effect of changing economic conditions impacting our plan of operation;
- the ability of the Registrant to meet the other risks as may be described in future filings with the SEC.
Organizational History and General Background of the Registrant
The Company was incorporated in Florida in 1995 for the purpose of designing and manufacturing heat pump pool heaters, residential air conditioners and parallel flow coils for the heating, ventilation and air conditioning industry. In June 2002, the Registrant and its subsidiaries filed a petition for bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida. The Company emerged from bankruptcy in March 2004 free and clear of all liens, claims and obligations.
Business Objectives of the Registrant
As a result of the bankruptcy proceeding, the Registrant has no present operations. Management determined to direct its efforts and limited resources to pursue and effect a business combination.
Current trends
Management believes that as a result of the relative uncertainty in the United States equity markets over the past few years, many privately-held companies have been closed off from the public market and traditional IPO's. During the past few years, many privately-held or public companies attempted to divest non-core assets and divisions and valuations of these assets and divisions have decreased significantly. Therefore, Management believes that there are substantial business opportunities to effect attractive acquisitions. As a public entity with its shares of common stock registered under the Exchange Act and publicly trading, Management believes to be well positioned to identify target acquisitions and to effect a business combination in order to take advantage of these current trends.
Effecting a business combination
Prospective investors in the Company's common stock will invest in the Company without an opportunity to evaluate the specific merits or risks of any one or more business combinations. A business combination may involve the acquisition of, or merger with, a company which needs to raise substantial additional capital by means of being a publicly trading company, while avoiding what it may deem to be adverse consequences of undertaking a public offering itself. These include time delays, significant expense, loss of voting control and compliance with various Federal and state securities laws. A business combination may involve a company which may be financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth.
The Registrant has not identified a target business or target industry
The Company's effort in identifying a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular industry and the Company may ultimately acquire a business in any industry Management deems appropriate. To date, the Company has not selected any target business on which to concentrate our search for a business combination. While the Company intends to focus on target businesses in the United States, we are not limited to those entities and may consummate a business combination with a target business outside of the United States. Accordingly, there is no basis for investors in the Company's common stock to evaluate the possible merits or risks of the target business or the particular industry in which we may ultimately operate. To the extent we effect a business combination with a financially unstable company or an entity in its early stage of development or growth, including entities without established records of sales or earnings, we may be affected by numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of financially unstable and early stage or potential emerging growth companies. In addition, to the extent that we effect a business combination with an entity in an industry characterized by a high level of risk, we may be affected by the currently unascertainable risks of that industry. An extremely high level of risk frequently characterizes many industries which experience rapid growth. In addition, although the Company's Management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular industry or target business, we cannot assure you that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risk factors.
Sources of target businesses
The Registrant anticipates that target business candidates will be brought to our attention from various unaffiliated sources, including securities broker-dealers, investment bankers, venture capitalists, bankers and other members of the financial community, who may present solicited or unsolicited proposals. Our Management may also bring to our attention target business candidates. While we do not presently anticipate engaging the services of professional firms that specialize in business acquisitions on any formal basis, we may engage these firms in the future, in which event we may pay a finder's fee or other compensation. In no event, however, will we pay Management any finder's fee or other compensation for services rendered to us prior to or in connection with the consummation of a business combination.
Selection of a target business and structuring of a business combination
Officers and directors own 40.82% of the issued and outstanding shares and have broad flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective target business. In evaluating a prospective target business, our Management will consider, among other factors, the following:
- financial condition and results of operation of the target company;
- growth potential;
- experience and skill of management and availability of additional personnel;
- capital requirements;
- competitive position;
- stage of development of the products, processes or services;
- degree of current or potential market acceptance of the products, processes or services;
- proprietary features and degree of intellectual property or other protection of the products, processes or services;
- regulatory environment of the industry; and
- costs associated with effecting the business combination.
These criteria are not intended to be exhaustive. Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular business combination will be based, to the extent relevant, on the above factors as well as other considerations deemed relevant by our Management in effecting a business combination consistent with our business objective. In evaluating a prospective target business, we will conduct a due diligence review which will encompass, among other things, meetings with incumbent management and inspection of facilities, as well as review of financial and other information which will be made available to us.
We will endeavor to structure a business combination so as to achieve the most favorable tax treatment to us, the target business and both companies' stockholders. We cannot assure you, however, that the Internal Revenue Service or appropriate state tax authority will agree with our tax treatment of the business combination.
The time and costs required to select and evaluate a target business and to structure and complete the business combination cannot presently be ascertained with any degree of certainty. Any costs incurred with respect to the identification and evaluation of a prospective target business with which a business combination is not ultimately completed will result in a loss to us.
Probable lack of business diversification
We may seek to effect business combinations with more than one target business, it is probable that we will have the ability to effect only a single business combination. Accordingly, the prospects for our success may be entirely dependent upon the future performance of a single business. Unlike other entities which may have the resources to complete several business combinations of entities operating in multiple industries or multiple areas of a single industry, it is probable that we will not have the resources to diversify our operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses. By consummating a business combination with only a single entity, our lack of diversification may:
- subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact upon the particular industry in which we may operate subsequent to a business combination, and
- result in our dependency upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services.
Limited ability to evaluate the target business' management
Although we intend to closely scrutinize the management of a prospective target business when evaluating the desirability of effecting a business combination, we cannot assure you that our assessment of the target business' management will prove to be correct. In addition, we cannot assure you that the future management will have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company intending to embark on a program of business development. Furthermore, the future role of our directors, if any, in the target business cannot presently be stated with any certainty. While it is possible that one or more of our directors will remain associated in some capacity with us following a business combination, it is unlikely that any of them will devote their full efforts to our affairs subsequent to a business combination. Moreover, we cannot assure you that our directors will have significant experience or knowledge relating to the operations of the particular target business.
Following a business combination, we may seek to recruit additional managers to supplement the incumbent management of the target business. We cannot assure you that we will have the ability to recruit additional managers, or that additional managers will have the requisite skills, knowledge or experience necessary to enhance the incumbent management.
Competition
In identifying, evaluating and selecting a target business, we expect to encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess greater technical, human and other resources than us and our financial resources will be relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors. While we believe there are numerous potential target businesses, our ability to compete in acquiring certain sizable target businesses will be limited by our limited financial resources. This inherent competitive limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of a target business. Further, any of these obligations may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating a business combination. Our management believes, however, that our status as a public entity and potential access to the United States public equity markets may give us a competitive advantage over privately-held entities having a similar business objective as us in acquiring a target business with significant growth potential on favorable terms.
If we succeed in effecting a business combination, there will be, in all likelihood, intense competition from competitors of the target business. In particular, certain industries which experience rapid growth frequently attract an increasingly larger number of competitors, including competitors with increasingly greater financial, marketing, technical and other resources than the initial competitors in the industry. The degree of competition characterizing the industry of any prospective target business cannot presently be ascertained. We cannot assure you that, subsequent to a business combination, we will have the resources to compete effectively, especially to the extent that the target business is in a high-growth industry.
Employees
Mr. Rubin, our CEO and CFO, is our sole executive officer. Mr. Rubin is not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours per week and intend to devote only as much time as they deem necessary to the Company's affairs. The amount of time they will devote in any time period will vary based on the availability of suitable target businesses to investigate. We do not intend to have any full time employees prior to the consummation of a business combination.
ITEM 1A.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS Back to Table of Contents
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements that are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about us, our future performance, the market in which we operate, our beliefs and our management's assumptions. In addition, other written or oral statements that constitute forward-looking statements may be made by us or on our behalf. Words such as "expects", "anticipates", "targets", "goals", "projects", "intends", "plans", "believes", "seeks", "estimates", variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict or assess. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in such forward-looking statements.
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
The Registrant is dependent upon the continued services of its officers and directors. To the extent that their services become unavailable, the Registrant will be required to obtain other qualified personnel and there can be no assurance that it will be able to recruit and hire qualified persons upon acceptable terms.
LIMITED RESOURCES; NO PRESENT SOURCE OF REVENUES.
At present, we have limited business operations and our business activities are limited to seeking potential business opportunities. Due to our limited financial and personnel resources, there is only a limited basis upon which to evaluate our prospects for achieving our intended business objectives. We have only limited resources and have no operating income, revenues or cash flow from operations. Our Management or a related party is providing us with limited funding, on an as needed basis, necessary for us to continue our corporate existence and our business objective to seek new business opportunities, as well as funding the costs, including professional accounting fees, in order to continue to be a reporting company under the Exchange Act. We have no written agreement with our Management or related parties to provide any interim financing for any period. In addition, we will not generate any revenues unless and until we enter into a new business, of which there can be no assurance.
BROAD DISCRETION OF MANAGEMENT
Any person who invests in our securities will do so without an opportunity to evaluate the specific merits or risks of any potential new prospective business in which we may engage. As a result, investors will be entirely dependent on the broad discretion and judgment of Management in connection with the selection of a prospective business. There can be no assurance that determinations made by our Management will permit us to achieve our business objectives.
ABSENCE OF SUBSTANTIVE DISCLOSURE RELATING TO PROSPECTIVE BUSINESS
We have not yet identified any prospective business or industry in which we may seek to become involved and at present we have no information concerning any prospective business. There can be no assurance that any prospective business opportunity will benefit shareholders or prove to be more favorable to shareholders than any other investment that may be made by shareholders and investors.
THERE IS NO LIQUID MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK AND NONE MAY DEVELOP OR BE SUSTAINED
The Registrant's common stock is subject to quotation on the FINRA Bulletin Board under the symbol PGID. There is currently no liquid trading market in our common stock. There can be no assurance that there will be a liquid trading market for our common stock following commencement of a new business. In the event that a liquid trading market commences, there can be no assurance as to the market price of our shares of common stock, whether any trading market will provide sufficient liquidity to investors, or whether any trading market will be sustained.
UNSPECIFIED INDUSTRY FOR NEW PROSPECTIVE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES; UNASCERTAINABLE RISKS
There is no basis for shareholders to evaluate the possible merits or risks of potential new business opportunities or the particular industry in which we may ultimately operate. To the extent that we effect a business combination with a financially unstable entity or an entity that is in its early stage of development or growth, including entities without established records of revenues or income, we will become subject to numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of that financially unstable company. In addition, to the extent that we effect a business combination with an entity in an industry characterized by a high degree of risk, we will become subject to the currently unascertainable risks of that industry. A high level of risk frequently characterizes certain industries that experience rapid growth. Although Management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular new prospective business or industry, there can be no assurance that we will properly ascertain or assess all such risks or that subsequent events may not alter the risks that we perceive at the time of the consummation of any new business opportunity.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Our Management is not required to commit their full time to our affairs. There may be a conflict of interest in allocating their time in the event that Management engages in similar business efforts for other entities. Our Management will devote such time, in their sole discretion, to conduct our business, including the evaluation of potential new business opportunities. As a result, the amount of time devoted to our business and affairs may vary significantly depending upon whether we have identified a new prospective business opportunity or are engaged in active negotiations related to a new business. In the event that a conflict of interest shall arise, Management will consider factors such as availability of audited financial statements, current capitalization and the laws of jurisdictions. If several business opportunities or operating entities approach Management with respect to a business combination, Management will consider the foregoing factors as well as the preferences of the Management. However, Management will act in what they believe will be in the best interests of the shareholders of the Registrant. The Registrant shall not enter into a transaction with a target business that is affiliated with Management.
COMPETITION
We expect to encounter intense competition from other entities seeking to pursue new business opportunities. Many of these entities are well-established and have extensive experience in identifying new prospective business opportunities. Many of these competitors possess greater financial, technical, human and other resources than we do and there can be no assurance that we will have the ability to compete successfully. Based upon our limited financial and personnel resources, we may lack the resources as compared to those of many of our potential competitors.
ADDITIONAL FINANCING REQUIREMENTS
We have no revenues and are dependent upon the willingness of Management or related parties to fund the costs associated with the reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, and other administrative costs associated with our corporate existence. As of the date of this filing, the Registrant has paid for general and administrative expenses, including accounting fees, reinstatement fees, and other professional fees related to the preparation and filing of reports under the Exchange Act. We may not generate any revenues unless and until the commencement of new business operations. We believe that we will have sufficient funds available to pay accounting and professional fees and other expenses to fulfill our reporting obligations under the Exchange Act until we commence business operations. In the event that our available funds from our Management or affiliates prove to be insufficient, we will be required to seek additional financing. Our failure to secure additional financing could have a material adverse affect on our ability to pay the accounting and other fees in order to continue to fulfill our reporting obligations and pursue our business plan. We do not have any arrangements with any bank or financial institution to secure additional financing and there can be no assurance that any such arrangement would be available on terms acceptable and in our best interests. We do not have any written agreement with our affiliates to provide funds for our operating expenses.
STATE BLUE SKY REGISTRATION; POTENTIAL LIMITATIONS ON RESALE OF THE SECURITIES
The holders of our shares of common stock and those persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop, should be aware that there may be state blue-sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to resell our securities. Accordingly, investors should consider the secondary market for the Registrant's securities to be a limited one.
It is the present intention of the Registrant's management after the commencement of new business operations to seek coverage and publication of information regarding the Registrant in an accepted publication manual which permits a manual exemption. The manual exemption permits a security to be distributed in a particular state without being registered if the Registrant issuing the security has a listing for that security in a securities manual recognized by the state. However, it is not enough for the security to be listed in a recognized manual. The listing entry must contain (1) the names of issuer's officers, and directors, (2) an issuer's balance sheet, and (3) a profit and loss statement for either the fiscal year preceding the balance sheet or for the most recent fiscal year of operations. Furthermore, the manual exemption is a nonissuer exemption restricted to secondary trading transactions, making it unavailable for issuers selling newly issued securities.
Most of the accepted manuals are those published in Standard and Poor's, Moody's Investor Service, Fitch's Investment Service, and Best's Insurance Reports, and many states expressly recognize these manuals. A smaller number of states declare that they "recognize securities manuals" but do not specify the recognized manuals. The following states do not have any provisions and therefore do not expressly recognize the manual exemption: Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Montana, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont and Wisconsin.
DIVIDENDS UNLIKELY
We do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future because we have no revenues. The payment of dividends will be contingent upon our future revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and overall financial condition. The payment of any future dividends will be within the discretion of our board of directors. It is our expectation that after the commencement of new business operations that future management will determine to retain any earnings for use in business operations and accordingly, we do not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future.
POSSIBLE ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SECURITIES
Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, authorize the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001. As of June 30, 2012, we had 524,200 shares issued and outstanding. We may be expected to issue additional shares in connection with our pursuit of new business opportunities and new business operations. To the extent that additional shares of common stock are issued, our shareholders would experience dilution of their respective ownership interests. If we issue shares of common stock in connection with our intent to pursue new business opportunities, a change in control of the Registrant may be expected to occur. The issuance of additional shares of common stock may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, in the event that an active trading market commences.
COMPLIANCE WITH PENNY STOCK RULES
Our securities will be considered a "penny stock" as defined in the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder, unless the price of our shares of common stock is at least $5.00. We expect that our share price will be less than $5.00. Unless our common stock is otherwise excluded from the definition of "penny stock", the penny stock rules apply. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its sales person in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that the broker-dealer, not otherwise exempt from such rules, must make a special written determination that the penny stock is suitable for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure rules have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. So long as the common stock is subject to the penny stock rules, it may become more difficult to sell such securities. Such requirements could limit the level of trading activity for our common stock and could make it more difficult for investors to sell our common stock.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND PLAN OF OPERATION Back to Table of Contents
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use of words such as "anticipate", "estimate", "expect", "project", "intend", "plan", "believe", and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. From time to time, we also may provide forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public.
Overview
Our current activities are related to seeking a new business opportunities. We will use our limited personnel and financial resources in connection with such activities. It may be expected that pursuing a new business opportunity will involve the issuance of restricted shares of common stock. On June 30, 2012, we had no cash assets and the Company had current liabilities of $203,671. We incurred $68,000 in general and administrative expenses during the year 2012 compared to $69,800 during 2011. We incurred interest expense of $23,400 during the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. We recorded $22,780 in other income during the fourth quarter of 2001 in connection with a forgiveness of payables.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
While we are dependent upon interim funding provided by such related party or by management to pay professional fees and expenses, we have no written finance agreement with management to provide any continued funding. Through the date of this filing, a related party and/or management provided funding for our plan of operation which funds were used for general administrative expenses and accounting fees.
As part of our intent to seek new business opportunities, we may determine to seek to raise funds from the sale of equity or debt securities.We have no agreements to issue any debt or equity securities and cannot predict whether equity or debt financing will become available at terms acceptable to us, if at all.
We anticipate that in connection with the commencement of a new business opportunity or consummation of a business combination, we will issue a substantial number of additional restricted shares or other securities. If such additional securities are issued, our shareholders will experience a dilution in their ownership interest in the Company. If a substantial number of shares are issued in connection with a business combination, a change in control may be expected to occur.
There are no limitations in our articles of incorporation on our ability to borrow funds or raise funds through the issuance of restricted common stock to pursue new business opportunities. Our limited resources and lack of operating history may make it difficult to do borrow funds or raise capital. Our inability to borrow funds or raise funds through the issuance of restricted common stock required to facilitate new business opportunities may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and future prospects. To the extent that debt financing ultimately proves to be available, any borrowing will subject us to various risks traditionally associated with indebtedness, including the risks of interest rate fluctuations and insufficiency of cash flow to pay principal and interest.
The Company has only limited capital. Additional financing is necessary for the Company to continue as a going concern. Our independent auditors have qualified our audit opinion for the year ended June 30, 2012 based on going concern.
In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company. Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional equity financing will provide the opportunity to continue as a going concern.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors Peregrine Industries, Inc
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Peregrine Industries, Inc (“The Company”) as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of operations, shareholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the 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 controls 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 controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Peregrine Industries as of June 30, 2012 and 2011 and the results of its operations and their cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, in 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 described in Note 2 of the financial statements, the Company continues to incur losses and has no revenues. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2012
Back to Table of Contents
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
Peregrine Industries, Inc. (the "Company") was formed on October 1, 1995 for the purpose of manufacturing residential pool heaters. The Company was formerly located in Deerfield Beach, Florida. Products were primarily sold throughout the United States, Canada, and Brazil. In June 2002, the Registrant and its subsidiaries filed a petition for bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida. At present, the Company has no business operations and is deemed to be a shell company.
The Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, the accompanying audited financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: For financial statement presentation purposes, the Company considers those short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash or cash equivalents.
Stock Based Compensation: Stock-based awards to non-employees are accounted for using the fair value method in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 505-50, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation , . All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the third-party performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments: ASC # 825, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments. Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2012. These financial instruments include accounts payable and accrued expenses. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short-term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values.
Earnings per Common Share: Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of options to purchase common stock (only if those options are exercisable and at prices below the average share price for the period) and shares issuable upon the conversion of issued and outstanding preferred stock. Due to the net losses reported, dilutive common equivalent shares were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share, as inclusion would be anti-dilutive for the periods presented. There were no common equivalent shares required to be added to the basic weighted average shares outstanding to arrive at diluted weighted average shares outstanding as of June 30, 2012 or 2011.
Income Taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC # 740, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires recognition of estimated income taxes payable or refundable on income tax returns for the current year and for the estimated future tax effect attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards. Measurement of deferred income tax is based on enacted tax laws including tax rates, with the measurement of deferred income tax assets being reduced by available tax benefits not expected to be realized.
In 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, currently prescribed in FASB ASC # 740, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. This guidance prescribes a two-step process to determine the amount of tax benefit to be recognized. First, the tax position must be evaluated to determine the likelihood that it will be sustained upon external examination. If the tax position is deemed “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained, the tax position is then assessed to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The amount of the benefit that may be recognized is the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. There are no uncertain tax positions taken by the Company on its tax returns. Tax years subsequent to 2006 remain open to examination by U.S. federal and state tax jurisdictions.
Management of the Company is not aware of any additional needed liability for unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011.
Impact of recently issued accounting standards
There were no new accounting pronouncements that had a significant impact on the Company’s operating results or financial position.
Note 2. Going Concern
The Company's financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. Since adopting "fresh-start" accounting as of September 5, 2002, the Company has accumulated losses aggregating to $556,555 and has insufficient working capital to meet operating needs for the next twelve months as of June 30, 2012, all of which raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Note 3. Stockholders' Equity
Common Stock
The articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001. All issued shares of common stock are entitled to one vote per share of common stock.
Preferred Stock
The articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $.0001 per share. None are issued
Stock Based Compensation
There were no grants of employee or non-employee stock or options in either fiscal period ended June 30, 2012 or 2011.
Note 4. Convertible Note to Related Party
In April 2010, we issued one convertible promissory note in the amount of $97,500 to our President and one convertible promissory note in the amount of $97,500 to a director. The note bear interests at 12% per annum until paid or converted. Interest is payable upon the maturity date at December 31, 2013. The initial conversion rate is $0.10 per share. The note formalized a like amount due through the accretion of cash advances and the fair value of services provided without cost covering several years.
In accordance Accounting Standard Codification ( “ASC # 815”), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, we evaluated the holder’s non-detachable conversion right provision and liquidated damages clause, contained in the terms governing the Note to determine whether the features qualify as an embedded derivative instruments at issuance. Such non-detachable conversion right provision and liquidated damages clause did not need to be accounted as derivative financial instruments. However, since the conversion price was below the current stock price a further evaluation needed to be performed for the existence of a beneficial conversion feature.
At April 2010, when the convertible notes were issued the price of our stock was $3.99, such price would have created a beneficial conversion feature but as the Company is and has been so thinly traded during the last 3 years, the fair value of the stock price was deemed not to be a fair value the conversion feature. Management decided that because the Company ability to continue as a going concern was in question and that it has no revenue sources that a conversion price of $0.10 was a better measure of fair market value. Based on that decision, no beneficial conversion feature was reflected in the financial statements.
Note 5. Related Party Transactions

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of those internal controls. As defined by the SEC, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by our principal executive officer/principal financial officer, who is also the sole member of our Board of Directors, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2012. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment and those criteria, we have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting were effective as of June 30, 2012.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only Management’s report in this annual report.
