PART I
ITEM 1 - Description of Our Business
We were incorporated on February 14, 2000 in the State of California. From 2000 to February 12th 2009, we operated as a private business and focused on developing products both in the golf club (equipment) and golf grip (accessory) categories. Research and Development costs were accounted for under our general selling and administrative costs (“GS&A”) during this time. Our annual revenues have historically ranged between $500,000 and $1 million. This has resulted in significant operating losses requiring additional capital from our officers and directors and additional private individual shareholders, with total investment and loans to date, of approximately $6 million.
We produce golf clubs including drivers, irons and wedges - with varying degrees of loft (angle of attack to the horizontal plane) ranging from 9° to 73° in several distinct color finishes: Satin, PVD and Designer (Colors of Red, Black, Bronze, Blue, Green & Yellow). Wedges are golf clubs used primarily for approach shots generally from 150 yards and closer. Our wedges carry different degrees of loft (46°, 52° 54° 56°, 58° 60°, 64° & 73°) designed to be used for varying distances and different lies (e.g.: deep rough, sand, tight lies, etc.).
Our wedges are pressure cast and made of a blend of soft metals providing what we believe to be a lower drag-coefficient thereby improving a golfer’s ability for more accurate shots. Manufacturing and assembly technologies assure that each wedge has the same Kick Point, Balance Point, Swing Weight, Total Weight, Length, Frequency and Feel. Most of our golf clubs and golf grips conform to the rules of golf as set out by the United States Golf Association (USGA) and The Royal and Ancient Golf Club (R&A). The following sets forth an explanation of certain golf terms we use to describe our products:
●
|
Kick Point, also called flex point or bend point, is the point along a shaft's length at which it exhibits the greatest amount of bend when the tip is pulled down.
|
●
|
Balance Point is the point at which a golf shaft achieves equilibrium; the point at which a shaft’s weight is evenly distributed in both directions when rested on a single fulcrum point.
|
●
|
Swing weight is a measurement that describes how the weight of a club feels when the club is being swung.
|
● |
Total Weight is the total weight of a golf club including the head, shaft and grip.
|
● |
Length is the overall length of a golf club.
|
●
|
Frequency matching is the process of ensuring that the shaft vibrations of all clubs in a given set of clubs, match in frequency when struck, so that the feel is the same for each club.
|
● |
Feel is the sensation of, or feedback sensitivity for playing golf shots, especially with respect to short game approach shots including putting.
|
In late 2004, we introduced to the market a reverse-taper golf grip named “The Full Release “TM Performance grip. A “reverse taper” golf grip is simply a golf grip whose taper is the opposite (or reversed) of the industry standard golf grips used today. Specifically, a reverse taper golf grip is smaller in diameter at the butt end of a golf grip and gets larger in diameter towards the shaft end – the opposite of today’s standard golf grips. We believe the reverse taper golf grip is more ergonomically designed to better fit the fingers of a golfer’s hand promoting more of a full release swing - the act of freely returning the club head squarely to the ball at impact producing a powerful golf shot. In 2005, “The Full Release “TM Performance Grip was named “Top Discovery” at the International PGA Show in Orlando, FL, and is endorsed by the United States Schools of Golf (USSOG), as their “Official Golf Grip.” We are told the USSOG represents over 60 teaching facilities throughout the country.
We offer two reverse taper golf grips: 1) The Full Release™ Performance golf grip; and 2) The Pro Release™ Performance golf grip and we offer a number of different styles and colors for these golf grips.
The base manufacturing of all components including club heads, shafts and grips is currently outsourced. Final assembly and shipping is handled in our corporate headquarters based in Sanford, FL, utilizing staff trained by PGA members trained in the art of club making. Manufacturing assembly techniques are used for compliance with our design and quality control requirements.
In January 2011, we launched a new wedge design called, the “Tour PVD” USGA conforming wedges. The new line added several non conforming wedges and irons to our club line. Non conforming means we intentionally do not conform to the new USGA 2010 groove rules.
We sell our golf clubs, grips and accessories to U.S. and international distributors, wholesalers, and retailers, including retail sales on our website. We have established international distribution channels through several countries covering the UK, most of Europe, Canada, Australia, Asian Pacific Rim countries, parts of Western Asia and South Africa. With respect to the domestic distribution, we have an established staff at our Sanford, FL headquarters and currently have (five) 5 employees.
Acquisition (s)
Acquisition # 1 ~ New to the Feel product line in 2009 was Caldwell Golf's highly advanced Ceramic product line. In August 2009, Feel Golf acquired the assets of Caldwell Golf of Carlsbad, CA for 12,500 shares of Feel Golf’s common stock. The fair market value appraised by a certified third party was approximately $3,300,000.
The Caldwell Golf Company reportedly spent years developing Ceramic golf club technology into a final and an excellent Ceramic product line of putters, drivers and fairway woods. The Caldwell Golf flagship product is their "Tsunami" putter line.
Acquisition # 2 ~
On February 11, 2011 we acquired Pro Line Sports, a distributor of golf ball retrievers and accessories. While we historically focused solely on golf clubs and golf grips, and since our acquisition of Pro Line Sports, we have focused our business on golf grips, wedges and Pro Line’s product lines. Their product line features golf accessories such as ball retrievers, divot tools and a warm up swing weight called “The Ready.” In addition, the patented telescopic shaft is being adapted for general consumer and industrial non-golf product use The Pro Line golf products are carried by major retailers and smaller retail stores. We believe we can combine an aggressive well-directed marketing campaign to steadily grow our revenue and market our products. We intend to focus on acquisitions of golf and non-golf companies to grow our business.
The tangible assets acquired in the February 2011 asset acquisition included inventory with various fixed assets and should provide a good base of products. The Seller retained his cash balances and receivables through the date of sale. Included in the fixed assets acquired is office and warehouse equipment. The Company determined that the carrying value of these assets approximated their fair value on the date of acquisition and therefore recorded them at the Seller’s book value. As a result, $37,227 of the purchase price was allocated to the fixed assets acquired. The Company performed an inventory observation on the date of acquisition and determined that saleable inventory acquired had a fair market value of $253,686. The remaining $1,226,305 has been allocated to goodwill.
On June 24, 2011, the Company and the Seller agreed to a new structure regarding payment due under the Consulting Agreement. The Agreement contemplates among other things, that:
|
The Company will pay 30% of all future sales receipts to the Seller until the balance of $123,089, representing IGH inventory sold by the Company, including $3,500 in attorney’s fees, is paid in full. Thereafter, 25% of all future sales receipts received by the Company will be paid to the Seller until the balance of $185,252.39 representing the value of the remaining inventory held by the Company, is paid in full;
|
|
|
|
Within ten days of the execution of an escrow agreement between the parties and an escrow agent, the Company would place 833,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock in escrow as collateral, as provided in the Consulting Agreement;
|
|
|
|
Within twenty days of the Agreement, the Company shall file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and issue $25,878 worth of the Company’s common stock to the Seller, pursuant to the Consulting Agreement; and
|
|
|
|
The Company shall continue to pay $14,393 in cash to the Seller for its monthly consultant fee, as provided in the Consulting Agreement.
Due to continuing differences between the seller and Feel Golf the parties in November 2011 entered into litigation seeking resolution to their differences. (Litigation is noted in filed 8K’s)
In April 2012 the parties agreed through mediated settlement to rescind the acquisition. Both parties are now separate entities.
As part of the mediated settlement, Feel Golf, who occupied the sellers building, was released without recourse from the 2 year property lease.
|
Due to the 2011 and 2012 events caused by the rescission of the Pro Line Sports acquisition, our now going forward focus is on increasing our accessory lines which include; Divot tools; Carbon Fiber and Aluminum retrievers (7 and 10 foot): The retrievers have our patent pending head design and are packaged in a clamshell and include a free head cover; a Reverse “SBST” putter grip and an oversize putter grip; new line of Pro Release reverse grips and the conforming 73 degree wedge (RH/LH).
In September 2011, the Company engaged DME Capital, LLC located at 44 Wall Street, NY, NY to be our financial advisor and assist in raising necessary capital on a best efforts basis and to assist in acquisitions. Due to the law suits, DME decided they could not function as they needed on our behalf.
We currently do not have the necessary capital to implement our growth campaign and even if we are successful in raising sufficient capital, there can be no assurance that this capital and/or increased marketing efforts will increase revenues. There can also be no assurance we will be successful in raising sufficient growth capital to implement this campaign. Assuming we are able to raise sufficient capital in support of our growth strategy, we plan to further develop and expand our sales channels:
●
|
Direct to Consumer: We plan to use direct response marketing in advertisement and commercials, running primarily on Radio and TV, websites and our new social media campaign. |
|
|
|
●
|
Social Media: we have established presence on various social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, and are managed internally on a daily basis. |
|
|
|
●
|
Wholesale Distribution: We plan to increase our combined sales from the team of existing sales reps calling on U.S. major golf retailers. Feel Golf intends to exhibit at the International PGA show in Orlando, FL the last week of January 2013, and unveil our 2013 Carbon Fiber ball retriever product line during this event. |
|
|
|
●
|
Internet Sales: We permitted an independent sales distributor to launch a new web site, www.feelgolfstore.com, which we anticipate will increase the Company’s web site and its overall ranking awareness and hopefully increase our own web sales. In a very short time, this new website has climbed in the rankings, and we expect this to result in an increase in our e-commerce awareness, our search engine optimization ranking and therefore an increase in our overall web sales. |
|
|
|
|
● |
In late October 2011 we engaged Golf Marketing Services, a long time, nationally known marketing group to formulate and lead a marketing awareness campaign with the major focus on golf grips and our new 2012-2013 product. |
|
|
|
●
|
International: Asia is a prominent international market where golf as a sport is rapidly growing and we intend to add additional Asian distributors. |
|
|
|
●
|
Call Center and Inside Sales: We plan to increase our in house telemarketing sales staff to sell direct to our consumers and handle both inbound and outbound customer communications and sales. |
Marketing
We anticipate that the additional product lines derived from our recent acquisitions and when coupled with our Full Release™ grip and wedges should be attractive to golfers of all skill levels and incomes. With our premium wholesale price, the global market could represent a very significant opportunity with even minor market share penetration - potentially representing significant growth in total revenues. With a marketing campaign that we are ready to implement upon obtaining sufficient marketing capital, we plan to advertise the benefits of our product lines and build brand awareness. We believe our golf grips can take market share, similar to how Metal Woods, Graphite Shafts, and/or Soft Spikes garnered significant market share. However, there is no guarantee that we will be able to raise the capital needed to implement its campaign.
With respect to U.S. domestic marketing, we have relationships with several major golf retail chains in the US including Golfsmith, Golf Galaxy, Edwin Watts, Golf Works, Pro Golf and PGA Superstores that represent the majority of US golf equipment sales. We believe that our largest customer base will be the major retail chains, but marketing awareness is required. With this opportunity clearly in mind, we will initially concentrate efforts to maximize sales results via marketing efforts geared to increase brand awareness and pre-sell the golfing customer. While we expect considerable efforts to be directed at the major retailers and cultivating new, retailing chains, there remains literally tens of thousands of on course and off course pro shops, club makers for us to market to.
We believe our international distributor network holds potential for sales growth and through these distributors’ efforts, to grow the Feel Golf brand name recognition especially as was anticipated with the purchase of Pro Line Sports and its well established product lines. While the acquisition was rescinded, Feel Golf retained some sales reps, and customers. The biggest setback during the law suits occurred when many customers and sales reps decided they did not want to be involved and decided not to carry either parties’ product line. We intend to repair these relationships by offering new product lines as well as to continue marketing directly to the public through our website and with advertising programs designed to direct potential customers to retail customers, our on-line site or to our in-house sales personnel. Significant marketing efforts will be directed to this in-house channel with most sales at retail pricing bringing higher profit margins than realized via wholesale channels.
In 2012 we anticipated a marketing campaign promoting our new one-of-a-kind patent pending golf ball retrievers and our Carbon Fiber ball retriever, wedges and grips.
Demand in the golf industry is partially driven by strong marketing and public relations. Likewise, successful product launches in golf clubs and accessories are partially accomplished through strategic marketing and strong visibility on the professional tours. We intend to obtain endorsements of well recognized PGA Teachers once capitalized, to further validate our products to their Tour players and their recreational students and golfers worldwide. To reach the mass market, we anticipate advertising the “Pro Release”™ Performance and distance increasing grip via TV targeted commercials. This is a far-reaching media campaign, yet highly targeted. We believe that continuous TV commercials and TV Spot advertising strategy in local key markets is among the strongest product awareness builder that may generate consumer, major golf retailers, pro shop, and catalogs.
Additional strategic advertising and promotion plans includes: industry endorsements, company press releases, additional TV spots, major golf magazine print ads, media days for major magazine equipment writers sponsored by us, weekly schedules with retailer demo days, enhanced and continual in-store support programs, open-to-the-public as well as privately sponsored clinics, PGA & LPGA Tour presence, annual trade-shows, as well as a continuous in-house production of articles and editorials, as contributing writers, as offered by leading golf magazines. Our product marketing emphasizes our belief in the many ways in which our newly expanded products are performance enhancing. The products’ unique selling points include the following:
●
|
We believe our products include quality components, excellent design characteristics and a quality control team trained by PGA professionals in compliance with exacting standards. We believe our patented and proprietary designs are highlighted, including our golf clubs' blend of hi-finishes that stand out among an otherwise dull product finish industry. Our club line was originally designed & developed for Tour players by Tour players, for their own personal use in competitive play.
|
●
|
Quality manufacturing is a key component of our brand. Our clubs are neither “customized” for Tour players nor “mass-produced” for the general public. We build only to orders and believe this is a most important distinction that creates a category of golf products that are made to exacting standards for high performance and playability that is unique among the major club manufacturers.
|
●
|
We believe our products’ high performance characteristics can have a profound effect on a golfer’s ability to play a better, more consistent game of golf. With independent testing verification, our marketing emphasizes that our clubs and grips provide golfers with better “feel” that allows for more distance, improved accuracy and the ability for lower scores.
|
●
|
We believe the Pro Release™ Performance Grip’s reverse taper design, our new PVD and all White Wedges, our new 73 degree wedges, the PVD Competitor Tour irons, and Carbon Fiber ball retrievers, visually differentiate our products from those of its competitors, imparting the perception of high quality, high performance message at first glance.
|
●
|
There are numerous industry models of commodity class grips available, with MSRP prices ranging from ~$3 to > $9 per grip. We believe our new Pro Release™ Performance grips are positioned as a major advance in golf equipment technology. Therefore, our golf grip is premium priced at a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $10 each.
|
●
|
Industry prices for golf wedges range from $25 to over $275 each. Many well known brands compete in the “professional grade” segment of the market and have offerings around $125 (MSRP). Our wedges are priced slightly higher (MSRP: $89 - $119) than many other brands, as we believe our quality and recognized playability imparts a higher perceived value to the customer.
|
● |
Our 2102 accessory line includes divot tools, oversized putter grips, patent pending ball retrievers, and the new “SBST” reverse putter grip. We also have the in house ability to produce customer logos on our retrievers, divot tools, and wedges for no extra charge.
|
At present, we do not have sufficient capital to implement and support our growth campaign. We intend to raise funds through a private and/or secondary public offering to support our model. We estimate upwards of $2,000,000 in capital will be required over the entire time period (24 months) of our growth campaign to support acquisition(s) (via cash/stock) and sales.
●
|
Direct to Consumer: We plan to use direct response marketing in advertisement and TV commercials, running primarily on The Golf Channel, web sites and national print media. |
●
|
Wholesale Distribution: There are estimated to be more than 18,000 independent golf specialty stores in the U.S. alone, and over eight major USA retail golf chains, currently with an estimated 900 outlets and growing. Sales staff will be assigned to provide ongoing service to the major retail outlets and larger independents. Our customers also include specialty golf catalog retailers reaching well over 15 million US golfers annually. We plan to launch this part of the campaign during the first quarter of the marketing campaign implementation.
|
●
|
Internet Sales: we plan to hire skilled employees to aggressively market our products on the Internet at retail prices on our website.
|
●
|
International: Our international sales alliances carry our clubs, grips and other products into dozens of countries. Prominent in the international arena is Asia, where golf as a sport is rapidly growing and becoming a national pastime with millions playing the game. We plan on expanding our distributor base.
|
●
|
Call Center and Inside Sales: We have a small in house telemarketing sales force, which sell direct to our consumers, handle both inbound and outbound customer communications and sales, customer service, thus contributing significantly to over-all profit and revenues. We intend to ramp up the staff of the call center upon available capital and will increase staff based upon availability of qualified candidates.
|

Future Applications
We have utility and design patent applications that we will apply for over the next few years. Many of these inventions relate specifically to the golf club grip and will protect the process for making the grip, and the manufacturing process.
ITEM 2 - Description of Property
In May of 2011, Feel Golf relocated its corporate facility from California to Florida to occupy the former Pro Line Sports facility as part of the now rescinded Pro Line acquisition.
Our leased principal business office was located at 107 Commerce Way Sanford, FL 32771. As part of our Pro Line Sports rescission, we relocated our facility on May 1st 2012 to 510 Central Park Drive Sanford, FL 32771 with a one year lease and a two year renewal option with no increase in the base rent of $1890 a month.
ITEM 3 - Legal Proceedings
At this time the Company has current 2012/2013 litigation.
1)
|
January- On 1/21/2012, Feel Golf was served with a trademark and image preliminary injunction as an ongoing result of past law suits with Jim Light, seller of Pro Line Sports. The acquisition had unraveled due to discovery of items not uncovered during due diligence and mounting friction between the seller and buyer. The injunction prevented Feel Golf from using the trademark and branded name of “Igotcha” and the image of Jim Light. Mediation ensued during February, March and into April without resolution from either counsel;
|
2)
|
April- As common sense was authored by the Mediator, Feel Golf decided to rescind the acquisition and the parties entered into an April 25, 2012 mediated settlement. The settlement agreement is noted in the Form 8K filed on May 4th 2012; Major points of the settlement are below.
|
Feel Golf vacated the Pro Line rented premises on 5/1/12 and sold back selected inventory to Pro Line Sports for $72,000 which is a (39%) discount from our cost. We incurred a $40,000 loss in this transaction. We also relinquished any rights to the Pro Line Sports Trademark “Igotcha.”
Company relocated its headquarters from 107 Commerce Way Sanford to 510 Central Park Drive Sanford, FL effective as of May 1st 2012. We entered into a 1 year lease which contains a 2 year auto renewable without an increase from a base of $1890 a month- This was noted in Form 8 K filed on May 4th, 2012
3)
|
September 2012 - Feel Golf was served with a new law suit by Igotcha Holdings, LLC (Pro Line Sports) with allegations of infringing on their telescopic shaft patent. On October 11, 2012 this suit was amended to include the former board of directors as conspirators to infringe. As of this filing date settlement negotiations are in process. Our patent counsel has opined our new telescopic patent pending design does not infringe.

Not applicable.
ITEM 7 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
The following plan of operation provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read along with our financial statements and notes thereto. This section includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our predictions.
Overview
During the year ended December 31, 2011, we raised capital from the CEO of the Company and from convertible notes. This capital allowed us to continue day-to-day operations. During 2011 we raised $486,000 from convertible notes and issued a total of 594,661 shares of common stock and 6,120,000 shares of preferred stock in lieu of cash and wages to employees, consultants and directors. We also issued 20,782,048 shares of common stock in conversion of convertible debts and other liabilities.
Our financial statements as of December 31, 2011, reflect a net operating loss of $3,374,469. This is based on gross revenues of $1,449,967 cost of sales of $1,425,674 operating expenses of $2,912,432 and other expenses including interest and taxes of $486,330.
Our financial statements as of December 31, 2010, reflect a net operating loss for year of $5,336,702. This is based on gross revenues of $391,594, cost of sales of $267,394, operating expenses of $5,295,221 and other expenses including interest and taxes of $164,881.
Our net operating loss for the year ending December 31, 2011 decreased by $2,282,882 from December 31, 2010 due primarily to an decrease in stock based compensation to employees and third parties of $2,957,292 and increases salaries and wages, professional fees, inventory impairment costs, selling, general and administrative expenses, and interest expense. Gross Sales for 2011, increased by $1,058,373 or 270% primarily as a result of the additional lines of business discussed above.
The fluctuation in percentage of sales per product category per reporting period, is based on what management believes, not only relates to the current recession, but has been a lack of adequate marketing capital to further educate consumers and build brand awareness on its golf grips since their introduction, and that the company’s golf grips are not as established in the marketplace yet, as its golf clubs are - which have a longer product history and greater product recognition.
Research and development costs were negligible during both years and we do not plan any research & development for the future 12 months.
Over the course of our twelve (12) years of operating history, we have incurred substantial operating losses and we may not be able to continue our business. As of December 31, 2011, we have an accumulated deficit of $15,100,454.
We have historically experienced cash flow difficulties primarily because our expenses have exceeded our revenues. We expect to incur additional operating losses for the immediate near future. These factors, among others, raise significant doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue from our operations to pay expenses or we are unable to obtain additional financing on commercially reasonable terms, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected. We can provide no assurance that we will obtain additional financing sufficient to meet our future needs on commercially reasonable terms or otherwise. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain operations as a going concern without an additional infusion of capital from other sources and there can be no guarantee we will be successful in obtaining capital from such sources. If we are unable to obtain the necessary financing, our business, operating results and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.
We have 5 employees and our success is dependent on our ability to retain and attract personnel to operate our business, and there is no assurance that we can do so. Once we are sufficiently capitalized, we will need to recruit managers and hire employees to help us execute our business strategy and help manage the growth of our business. Our business could suffer if we were unable to attract and retain highly skilled personnel or if we were to lose any key personnel and not be able to find appropriate replacements in a timely manner.
We expect to derive a substantial portion of our future revenues from the sales of retrievers, wedges and our golf grips. We have yet to fully launch our initial marketing phase due to the increasing cost of media and frequency required. Although we believe our products and technologies to be commercially viable, if markets for our products fail to develop further or develop more slowly than expected or are subject to substantial competition, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.
We also depend on marketing relationships and if we fail to maintain or establish them, our business plan may not succeed.
We expect our future marketing efforts will focus in part on developing and reinstating business relationships with retailers and distributors to market our products to their customers. The success of our business depends on selling our products and technologies to a large number of distributors and retail customers.
The market for golf grips and golf clubs is highly competitive and one of the main reasons that Feel Golf added a lesser competitive line of unique accessories. There are a number of other established providers that have greater resources, including more extensive research and development, marketing and capital than we do and have greater name recognition and market presence. These competitors could reduce their prices and thereby decrease the demand for our products and technologies. We expect competition to intensify in the future, which could also result in price reductions, fewer customer and lower gross margins.
Our total sales in 2011 were higher than our 2010 sales. Due to the rescission however of Pro Line Sports our revenues for 2012 will be much lower than for 2011. Moreover, with the recent economic and market uncertainties here in the United States as well as internationally, there can be no assurance that our sales will grow and/or be maintained at their present level and may in fact, decline in the future.
Economic factors that can affect all manufacturing businesses include increases in fuel/freight costs and for global manufacturer’s, currency fluctuations. Fuel/Freight costs can impact product costs and shipping costs of any manufacturer and without corresponding price increases of its products, a manufacturer’s profits could decline or even result in losses. While a global manufacturer may only transact business in US dollars, if a buyer/distributor in another country, whose currency has experienced a devaluation in relation to the US dollar, could result in a reduction or even elimination of demand for the manufacturer’s products in that country.
These factors and others (unknown) could occur within the global marketplace that could negatively impact operations of any business, including the golf industry (manufacturing of golf clubs and golf grips) to the extent that such operations could cease temporarily or permanently, based on the Company’s ability to respond to such global economic factors.
Our business is subject to rapid changes in technology that may adversely affect our business. We can provide no assurances that further research and development by competitors will not render our technology obsolete or uncompetitive. We compete with a number of companies that have technologies and products similar to those offered by us and have greater resources, including more extensive research and development, marketing and capital than we do. If our technology is rendered obsolete or we are unable to compete effectively, our business, operating results and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.
We rely on a combination of trade secrets, trademark law, and other measures to protect our trademarks, license, proprietary technology and know-how. However, we can provide no assurance that competitors will not infringe upon our rights in our intellectual property or that competitors will not similarly make claims against us for infringement. If we are required to be involved in litigation involving intellectual property rights, our business, operating results and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.
It is possible that third parties might claim infringement by us, such as presently with Igotcha Holdings regardless of merit, claimed with respect to past, current or future technologies. We expect that participants in our markets will increasingly be subject to infringement claims and look for settlement vs. litigation as the number of services and competitors in our industry grows. Claims, whether meritorious or not, could be time-consuming, may result in costly litigation and could cause service upgrade delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. These royalty or licensing agreements might not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
New technologies such as the products developed by us may contain defects when first introduced. Our introduction of technology with defects or quality problems may result in adverse publicity, product returns, reduced orders, uncollectible or delayed accounts receivable, product redevelopment costs, loss of or delay in market acceptance of our products or claims by customers or others against us. Such problems or claims may have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Plan of Operation
We make golf clubs golf grips, and now a line of ball retrievers and accessories. Our primary business and marketing plans are focused on golf grips, wedges, and retrievers. We believe with capital we can launch an aggressive and well-directed marketing campaign to rapidly grow our revenue and significantly maximize our market potential.
As noted previously, we currently do not have the necessary capital to implement our marketing campaign and if successful in raising sufficient capital for marketing, there can be no assurance that this capital and/or increased marketing efforts will increase revenues. There can also be no assurance we will be successful in raising sufficient marketing capital to implement and continue campaigns.
Assuming we are able to raise sufficient capital in support of our marketing strategy, we plan to develop five distinct sales channels:
●
|
Direct to Consumer: We plan to use direct response marketing via infomercials, social media, running primarily on Golf Channel, websites and national print media.
|
●
|
Wholesale Distribution: We plan to employ a well-trained and efficient sales staff to sell to U.S. major golf retailers.
|
●
|
Internet Sales: We plan to aggressively market our products on our website.
|
●
|
International: Asia is a prominent international market where golf as a sport is rapidly growing. We plan to increase our distributors in Asia and Europe.
|
●
|
Call Center and Inside Sales: We have a small in house telemarketing sales center selling direct to our consumers and also to handle customer communications.
|
Results of Operations
Note: For all reporting periods below:
The golf industry as reported by several industry organizations are in a state of flux, though the total number of worldwide golfers as reported by the industry has increased, primarily due to the increase in golf as a major sport in Asia. However, there can be no assurance that the golf industry will continue growing and may in fact decline. We believe there have been no industry trends that have significantly affected (positively or negatively) our operating results including fluctuations in revenues for the reporting periods below. Based on input from our major customers, we believe that sufficient marketing and capital is essential to growing revenues in the highly competitive golf industry.
Current economic factors both in the US and internationally may have a direct impact on future revenues positively and/or negatively - whether for example: 1) fluctuating fuel costs that effects shipping and product production costs for all manufacturers regardless of industry; or 2) currency fluctuation of the US dollar and that of other foreign currencies for global manufacturers, regardless of industry.

Revenues
For the year ended December 31, 2011 revenues increased 270 % from the year ended December 31, 2010. Our acquisition of Pro Line Sports added significant sales of their product line to us. We believed this acquisition would allow us to expand into the golf accessory market in 2011 and thereafter. The acquisition, while rescinded should enable us to increase sales of ball retrievers since this is a new sales channel in addition to our existing for golf grips and clubs. As a result of the acquisitions and the expected increase in revenue from new sales, we expected our reliance on outside capital to decrease. However, due to the rescission, we continue to require capital to meet our growth and profit goal.
Cost of Sales
For the year ended December 31, 2011, our costs of sales increased 433% over the year ended December 31, 2010. This increase is primarily due write downs in slow moving, impaired and obsolete inventory acquired in the Caldwell and Pro Line acquisitions. However, our overall pricing structure, product make-up and sales mixes have stayed constant from 2010.
We expected that our margin would improve with our acquisition of Pro Line Sports. The golf ball retrievers and other accessories, reportedly have a historically higher gross margin and sales volume than golf clubs.
Gross Profit
For the year ended December 31, 2011, our gross profit decreased 80 % over the year ended December 31, 2010. The continued poor economy during 2011 hurt our retail sales which contributed to the decrease in our gross margins. In order to move product we sought a higher percentage of less than wholesale cost orders than in the past on products such as Caldwell Golf and discounted Pro Line product.
Operating Expenses
For the year ended December 31, 2011, our operating expenses decreased by $2,382,789. Stock issued for services during 2011 totaled 594,661 common shares valued at $61,400 and 6,120,000 shares of preferred stock valued at $1,076,822. This is compared with stock issued for services in 2010 of 592,948 common shares valued at $ 578,492. The decrease of $2,957,292 in expense recognized from the issuance of stock for services as well as the decrease of $219,436, in advertising expense and less offsetting increases in salaries and wages, professional fees, inventory impairment expense, other selling, general and administrative expense, and interest expense accounted for almost the entire net decrease in expenses.
Other Expenses
For the year ended December 31, 2011, our other expenses increased $321,449 over the year ended December 31, 2010. Interest expense on debts owed to both related parties and on the new convertible notes issued increased $135,535. Gain on settlement of debt decreased by $197,814.
During the last part of the year 2012, the Company placed $ 62,300 with collection agencies. GBM of Edison NJ our largest bad debt, declared bankruptcy in November 2012. We engaged counsel in September 2012 on contingency to pursue the GBM collection. Due to complications involved in the Bankruptcy proceeding and our status as a General Unsecured creditor collection is doubtful, but we are attempting to locate and recover our product for return.
Net Loss
For the year ended December 31, 2011, our net loss decreased $1,962,233 over the year ended December 31, 2010. Of our total net loss of $3,374,469, the amount of $1,828,154 was due to non-cash expenses such as stock based compensation, impairment of inventory and depreciation and amortization expense.
Currently, our revenues are not large enough yet to create a breakeven scenario. Our need for outside capital increases with the rescission of Pro Line Sports. We will need capital to expand operations and develop sales.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
For the Years Ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010
At December 31, 2011, we had cash of $18,991as compared to cash of $ 0 as of December 31, 2010. Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $60,891as compared to $408,703 for the year ended December 31, 2010. This increase of $347,812 in cash used in operating activities as compared to the prior year is reflective of the increase in sales due to the Pro Line 2011 acquisition.
Cash flows used in investing activities totaled ($233,877) and $-0- for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase includes $225,000 for the down payment to acquire Pro Line Sports.
Cash flows provided by financing activities totaled $313,759 and $401,855 in 2011 and 2010, respectively. Our cash from financing activities in 2011 consisted primarily of funds received from the issuance of convertible notes. These proceeds totaled $290,000during the year. In 2010, we raised net proceeds of $184,934 from related parties.
At the present level of business activity, our ongoing monthly gross operating cash disbursements are expected to average approximately $35,000. As of December 31, 2011, we had positive net working capital of $156,872.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
January 15, 2013
Board of Directors
Feel Golf Co., Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Feel Golf Co., Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. 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. 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and changes in stockholders’ deficit and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 2 of the notes to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the footnotes, the Company has current assets of $522,187 and current liabilities of $365,315. In addition, the Company has an accumulated deficit of ($15,100,454) and is dependent on at least maintaining current revenue levels. Those conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

FEEL GOLF CO., INC.
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2011 and 2010
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
Feel Golf Co., Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on February 14, 2000 under the laws of the State of California in the United States of America. The Company designs, manufactures and conducts international marketing and sales of its golf clubs and golf club grips. The Company's products are based on proprietary patented technology that is used to produce golf clubs, accessories and golf grips which the Company believes have the best "feel" of any golf clubs and golf grips in the market.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America, include the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of the Company.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassification of Financial Statement Accounts
Certain amounts in the December 31, 2010 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in the December 31, 2011 financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the balance sheets and cash flow statements, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Concentrations of Risk
The Company’s bank accounts are deposited in insured institutions. The funds are insured up to $250,000 USD. At December 31, 2011, the Company’s bank deposits did not exceed the insured amount.
Concentrations of Credit Risk and Customers
The Company is diligent in attempting to ensure that it issues credit to credit-worthy customers. However, the Company's customer base is small and our accounts receivable balances are usually over 90 days outstanding, and that exposes the Company to significant credit risk. Therefore, a credit loss can be significant relative to the Company's overall profitability. However, through the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company had not suffered a significant credit loss and does not expect to incur such losses in the near future. However a major Pro Line Sports customer was allowed year end volume cash rebates of approximately $29,000 which was undisclosed and unexpected. During 2012 the Company has $62,300 placed with outside collection agencies
Trade Accounts Receivable
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the existing accounts receivable balance. The Company determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical write-off experience and current economic conditions. The adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts is reviewed on a regular basis. Receivable balances past due over 120 days, which exceed a specified dollar amount, are reviewed individually for collectability. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $59,759as of December 31, 2011 and 10,000 as of December 31, 2010.

Barter Receivable
The Company is involved in several barter organizations that involve the sale of the Company’s products and the Company has access to goods and services of member organizations of the barter organizations. The Company applies ADC 845, “Accounting for Non-Monetary Transactions”, the provisions of ASC 840, “Accounting for Barter Transactions Involving Barter Credits” and ASC 840 “Accounting for Advertising Barter Transactions.” Barter sales were $17,636 and $65,937, in 2011 and 2010 respectively.
As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had built up a receivable of goods and services through the barter organizations of $33,043and $15,407 respectively.
Inventory
Inventories acquired in connection with our Caldwell acquisition are valued at their fair market value based on an independent appraisal. Our remaining inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost method of accounting. Inventories are adjusted for estimated obsolescence and have been written down to net realizable value based upon estimates of future demand and market conditions.
At the close of the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company tested its inventory for potential impairment. Using a future cash flow model, the Company determined that its inventory’s carrying value exceeded its net realizable value. Accordingly, the Company has impaired the value of its inventory by $475,832 and recorded the expense to cost of goods sold.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is located at the Company's headquarters in Sanford, FL and is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation except for certain equipment acquired in connection with the Caldwell acquisition, which were valued at their fair market value based on an independent appraisal. Depreciation and amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the expected useful life of the asset, after the asset is placed in service. The Company generally uses the following depreciable lives for its major classifications of property and equipment:

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived tangible assets and definite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The Company uses an estimate of undiscounted future net cash flows of the assets over the remaining useful lives in determining whether the carrying value of the assets is recoverable. If the carrying values of the assets exceed the expected future cash flows of the assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss equal to the difference between the carrying values of the assets and their estimated fair values.
Impairment of long-lived assets is assessed at the lowest levels for which there are identifiable cash flows that are independent from other groups of assets. The evaluation of long-lived assets requires the Company to use estimates of future cash flows. However, actual cash flows may differ from the estimated future cash flows used in these impairment tests. As of December 31, 2011, management does not believe any of the Company’s long lived assets were impaired.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In accordance with ASC 820, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. ASC 820 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other then quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information.
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, loans payable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The following table presents assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value as of September 30, 2011, on a non-recurring basis:

A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following is a description of the valuation methodology used to measure fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
Notes Payable and Convertible Debenture: Market prices are not available for the Company's loans nor are market prices of similar loans available. The Company assessed that the fair value of this liability approximates its carrying value.
The method described above may produce a current fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. If a readily determined market values became available or if actual performance were to vary appreciably from assumptions used, assumptions may need to be adjusted, which could result in material differences from the recorded carrying amounts. The Company believes its method of determining fair value is appropriate and consistent with other market participants. However, the use of different methodologies or different assumptions to value certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value.
The following tables present the fair value of financial instruments as of December 31, 2011, by caption on the condensed balance sheet and by ASC 820 valuation hierarchy described above.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
In July, 2006, the FASB issued ASC 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a return. ASC 740 provides guidance on the measurement, recognition, classification and disclosure of tax positions, along with accounting for the related interest and penalties. ASC 740 became effective as of January 1, 2007 and had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.
The charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
Basic and diluted loss per common share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not have any dilutive instruments to be included the calculation of earnings per share.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Below is a listing of the most recent accounting pronouncements issued since through May 27, 2010. The Company has evaluated these pronouncements and their adoption has not had or is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, or statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary. This amendment to Topic 810 clarifies, but does not change, the scope of current US GAAP. It clarifies the decrease in ownership provisions of Subtopic 810-10 and removes the potential conflict between guidance in that Subtopic and asset derecognition and gain or loss recognition guidance that may exist in other US GAAP. An entity will be required to follow the amended guidance beginning in the period that it first adopts FAS 160 (now included in Subtopic 810-10). For those entities that have already adopted FAS 160, the amendments are effective at the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to the first period that an entity adopted FAS 160.
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-01, Equity (Topic 505): Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash (A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). This amendment to Topic 505 clarifies the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a limit on the amount of cash that will be distributed is not a stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260. Effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and would be applied on a retrospective basis.
In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-17, Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities. This Accounting Standards Update amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for Statement 167.
In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-16, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets. This Accounting Standards Update amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for Statement 166.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-15, Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing. This Accounting Standards Update amends the FASB Accounting Standard Codification for EITF 09-1.
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-14, Software (Topic 985): Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements. This update changed the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. This update addressed the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than a combined unit and will be separated in more circumstances that under existing US GAAP. This amendment has eliminated that residual method of allocation. Effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted.
In September 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). This update provides amendments to Topic 820 for the fair value measurement of investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share (or its equivalent). It is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. Early application is permitted in financial statements for earlier interim and annual periods that have not been issued.
In July 2009, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by EITF (Emerging Issues Task Force) issued EITF No. 09-1, (ASC Topic 470) "Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance" ("EITF 09-1"). The provisions of EITF 09-1, clarifies the accounting treatment and disclosure of share-lending arrangements that are classified as equity in the financial statements of the share lender. An example of a share-lending arrangement is an agreement between the Company (share lender) and an investment bank (share borrower) which allows the investment bank to use the loaned shares to enter into equity derivative contracts with investors. EITF 09-1 is effective for fiscal years that beginning on or after December 15, 2009 and requires retrospective application for all arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009. Share-lending arrangements that have been terminated as a result of counterparty default prior to December 15, 2009, but for which the entity has not reached a final settlement as of December 15, 2009 are within the scope. Effective for share-lending arrangements entered into on or after the beginning of the first reporting period that begins on or after June 15, 2009.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. During the year ended December 31, 2011 the Company realized a net loss of $3,374,469 and has incurred an accumulated deficit of $15,100,454 The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from investors and/or revenue sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

In the Company’s opinion, it is uncertain whether they will generate sufficient taxable income in the future to fully utilize the net deferred tax asset. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance equal to the deferred tax asset has been recorded. The total deferred tax asset is calculated by multiplying a .39.5%% marginal tax rate for year ended December 31, 2011 by the cumulative Net Operating Loss (“NOL”) of $6,317,836, which expires in various years through 2030.

In July, 2006, the FASB issued ASC 740, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a return. ASC 740 provides guidance on the measurement, recognition, classification and disclosure of tax positions, along with accounting for the related interest and penalties. ASC 740 became effective as of July 1, 2008 and had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.
The Company has filed income tax returns in the United States and California. All tax years prior to 2008 are closed by expiration of the statute of limitations. The years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, 2009, and 2008 are open for examination.
The Company has had numerous transactions in its common stock. Such transactions may have resulted in a change in the Company's ownership, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code Section 382. Such change may result in an annual limitation on the amount of the Company's taxable income that may be offset with its net operating loss carry forwards. The Company has not evaluated the impact of Section 382, if any, on its ability to utilize its net operating loss carry forwards in future years.

Other than the disclosure of uncertainty regarding the ability for the Company to continue as a going concern which was included in FHH’s audit report on the financial statements for the past two years, the principal accountant’s report on the financial statements for either of the past two years did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, or was not modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. For the two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period through FHH’s termination on July 1, 2010, FHH disclosed the uncertainty regarding the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern in its report on the financial statements for the Company. There has been no other disagreements between the Company and FHH on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of FHH would have caused it to make a reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports.

The Company’s Board of Directors approved the decision to engage Uniack.
|
|
|
iv.

ITEM 9A - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chief Financial Officer (the "Certifying Officers") are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for the Company. The Certifying Officers have designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information is made known to them, particularly during the period in which this report was prepared.
The Certifying Officers responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company used the Internal Control over Financial Reporting Integrated Framework issued by Committee of Sponsoring Organizations’ (COSO) to conduct an extensive review of the Company's “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Exchange Act, Rules 13a-15(e) and 15-d-15(e)) as of the end of each of the periods covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that, as of December 31, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that the information we were required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and forms.
The Certifying Officers based their conclusion on the fact that the Company has identified a material weakness in controls over financial reporting, detailed below. In order to mitigate this risk, the Company has contracted with consultants with expertise in US GAAP and SEC financial reporting standards to review and compile all financial information prior to filing that information with the SEC. There have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Management used the Internal Control over Financial Reporting Integrated Framework issued by Committee of Sponsoring Organizations’ (COSO) to conduct an extensive review of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting to make that evaluation. As of December 31, 2011 the Company had a deficiency in internal controls that constituted a material weakness in internal controls. Due to this material weaknesses, management concluded that internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 were not effective, based on COSO’s framework.
This deficiency is attributed to the fact that the Company does not have adequate resources to address complex accounting issues as well as an inadequate number of persons to whom it can segregate accounting tasks within the company so as to ensure the separation of duties between those persons who approve and issue payment from those persons who are responsible to record and reconcile such transactions within the Company’s accounting system. This control deficiency will be monitored and attention will be given to the matter as the Company begins operations as an active business entity. Management has concluded that this control deficiency constituted a material weakness that continued throughout fiscal year 2011. In order to mitigate this risk, the Company has contracted with consultants with expertise in US GAAP and SEC financial reporting standards to review and compile all financial information prior to filing that information with the SEC. There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
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.

Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that before our auditor is engaged by us to render any auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement be:
●
|
approved by our audit committee; or
|
● |
entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the audit committee, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the audit committee is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the audit committee's responsibilities to management.
|
We do not have an audit committee. Our entire board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors.
The pre-approval process has just been implemented in response to the new rules. Therefore, our board of directors does not have records of what percentages of the above fees were pre-approved. However, all of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the entire board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.
