Item 1. Description of Business.
Target Acquisitions I, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, the "Company" or the "Registrant") was incorporated in the State of Delaware on June 27, 2008. Since inception, the Company has been engaged in organizational efforts and obtaining initial financing. The Company was formed as a vehicle to pursue a business combination and has made no efforts to identify a possible business combination. As a result, the Company has not conducted negotiations or entered into a letter of intent concerning any target business. The business purpose of the Company is to seek the acquisition of, or merger with, an existing company. The Company selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The Company is currently considered to be a "blank check" company. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) defines those companies as "any development stage company that is issuing a penny stock, within the meaning of Section 3 (a)(51) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and that has no specific business plan or purpose, or has indicated that its business plan is to merge with an unidentified company or companies." Under SEC Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, the Company also qualifies as a “shell company,” because it has no or nominal assets (other than cash) and no or nominal operations. Many states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of securities of "blank check" companies in their respective jurisdictions. Management does not intend to undertake any efforts to cause a market to develop in our securities, either debt or equity, until we have successfully concluded a business combination. The Company intends to comply with the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for so long as it is subject to those requirements.
The Company was organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation. The Company’s principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with a business rather than immediate, short-term earnings. The Company will not restrict its potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business.
The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of the Company’s management. As of this date the Company has not entered into any definitive agreement with any party, nor have there been any specific discussions with any potential business combination candidate regarding business opportunities for the Company. The Company has unrestricted flexibility in seeking, analyzing and participating in potential business opportunities. In its efforts to analyze potential acquisition targets, the Company will consider the following kinds of factors:
(a) Potential for growth, indicated by new technology, anticipated market expansion or new products;
(b) Competitive position as compared to other firms of similar size and experience within the industry segment as well as within the industry as a whole;
(c) Strength and diversity of management, either in place or scheduled for recruitment;
(d) Capital requirements and anticipated availability of required funds, to be provided by the Company or from operations, through the sale of additional securities, through joint ventures or similar arrangements or from other sources;
(e) The cost of participation by the Company as compared to the perceived tangible and intangible values and potentials;
(f) The extent to which the business opportunity can be advanced;
(g) The accessibility of required management expertise, personnel, raw materials, services, professional assistance and other required items; and
(h) Other relevant factors.
In applying the foregoing criteria, no one of which will be controlling, management will attempt to analyze all factors and circumstances and make a determination based upon reasonable investigative measures and available data. Potentially available business opportunities may occur in many different industries, and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex. Due to the Company's limited capital available for investigation, the Company may not discover or adequately evaluate adverse facts about the opportunity to be acquired.
FORM OF ACQUISITION
The manner in which the Company participates in an opportunity will depend upon the nature of the opportunity, the respective needs and desires of the Company and the promoters of the opportunity, and the relative negotiating strength of the Company and such promoters.
It is likely that the Company will acquire its participation in a business opportunity through the issuance of common stock or other securities of the Company. Although the terms of any such transaction cannot be predicted, it should be noted that in certain circumstances the criteria for determining whether or not an acquisition is a so-called "tax free" reorganization under Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") depends upon whether the owners of the acquired business own 80% or more of the voting stock of the surviving entity. If a transaction were structured to take advantage of these provisions rather than other "tax free" provisions provided under the Code, all prior stockholders would in such circumstances retain 20% or less of the total issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity. Under other circumstances, depending upon the relative negotiating strength of the parties, prior stockholders may retain substantially less than 20% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity. This could result in substantial additional dilution to the equity of those who were stockholders of the Company prior to such reorganization.
The sole stockholder of the Company will likely not have control of a majority of the voting securities of the Company following a reorganization transaction. As part of such a transaction, the Company's sole director may resign and one or more new directors may be appointed without any vote by stockholders.
In the case of an acquisition, the transaction may be accomplished upon the sole determination of management without any vote or approval by stockholders. In the case of a statutory merger or consolidation directly involving the Company, it will likely be necessary to call a stockholders' meeting and obtain the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding securities. The necessity to obtain such stockholder approval may result in delay and additional expense in the consummation of any proposed transaction and will also give rise to certain appraisal rights to dissenting stockholders. Most likely, management will seek to structure any such transaction so as not to require stockholder approval.
It is anticipated that the investigation of specific business opportunities and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and substantial cost for accountants, attorneys and others. If a decision is made not to participate in a specific business opportunity, the costs theretofore incurred in the related investigation might not be recoverable. Furthermore, even if an agreement is reached for the participation in a specific business opportunity, the failure to consummate that transaction may result in the loss to the Registrant of the related costs incurred.
We presently have no employees apart from our management. Our officers and sole director are engaged in outside business activities and anticipates that he will devote very limited time to our business until the acquisition of a successful business opportunity has been identified. We expect no significant changes in the number of our employees other than such changes, if any, incident to a business combination.

Dividend Policy
The Company has not declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock and does not intend to declare or pay any cash dividend in the foreseeable future.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
The Company does not have any equity compensation plans or any individual compensation arrangements with respect to its common stock or preferred stock.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
The Company did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act during the year December 31, 2009.

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide this information.
Item 7.
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
The Company was organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation. Our principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with a business rather than immediate, short-term earnings. The Company will not restrict our potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business.
The Company currently does not engage in any business activities that provide cash flow. During the next twelve months we anticipate incurring costs related to:
(i)
filing Exchange Act reports, and
(ii)
investigating, analyzing and consummating an acquisition.
We believe we will be able to meet these costs through use of funds in our treasury, through deferral of fees by certain service providers and additional amounts, as necessary, to be loaned to or invested in us by our stockholders, management or other investors.
The Company may consider acquiring a business which has recently commenced operations, is a developing company in need of additional funds for expansion into new products or markets, is seeking to develop a new product or service, or is an established business which may be experiencing financial or operating difficulties and is in need of additional capital. In the alternative, a business combination may involve the acquisition of, or merger with, a company which does not need substantial additional capital but which desires to establish a public trading market for its shares while avoiding, among other things, the time delays, significant expense, and loss of voting control which may occur in a public offering.
Any target business that is selected may be a financially unstable company or an entity in its early stages of development or growth, including entities without established records of sales or earnings. In that event, we will be subject to numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of financially unstable and early stage or potential emerging growth companies. In addition, we may effect a business combination with an entity in an industry characterized by a high level of risk, and, although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, there can be no assurance that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risks.
The Company anticipates that the selection of a business combination will be complex and extremely risky. Because of general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some industries and shortages of available capital, our management believes that there are numerous firms seeking even the limited additional capital which we will have and/or the perceived benefits of becoming a publicly traded corporation. Such perceived benefits of becoming a publicly traded corporation include, among other things, facilitating or improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be obtained, providing liquidity for the principals of and investors in a business, creating a means for providing incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, and offering greater flexibility in structuring acquisitions, joint ventures and the like through the issuance of stock. Potentially available business combinations may occur in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2009, the Company had a total of $-0- in assets. The Company had $7,543 current liabilities as of December 31, 2009. The Company can provide no assurance that it can continue to satisfy its cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.
The following is a summary of the Company's cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities for the period from June 27, 2008 (Inception) to December 31, 2009.
The Company has no assets and has generated no revenues since inception. The Company is also dependent upon the receipt of capital investment or other financing to fund its ongoing operations and to execute its business plan of seeking a combination with a private operating company. In addition, the Company is dependent upon certain related parties to provide continued funding and capital resources. If continued funding and capital resources are unavailable at reasonable terms, the Company may not be able to implement its plan of operations.
Results of Operations
Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to December 31, 2008
The following table summarizes the results of our operations during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and provides information regarding the dollar and percentage increase or (decrease) from the current 12-month period to the prior 12-month period:
We recorded a net loss of $5,164 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 as compared with a net loss of $7,554 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

TARGET ACQUISITIONS I, INC.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Target Acquisitions I, Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2009 and the related statements of operations, stockholder's deficiency and cash flows for the cumulative period from Inception (June 27, 2008) through December 31, 2009. 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 audits 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 audits 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. 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 Target Acquisitions I, Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2009 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the cumulative period from (June 27, 2008) to December 31, 2009 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 discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has a net accumulated deficit, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2009
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
(a)
Organization and Business:
Target Acquisitions I, Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on June 27, 2008 for the purpose of raising capital that is intended to be used in connection with its business plan which may include a possible merger, acquisition or other business combination with an operating business.
The Company is currently in the development stage. All activities of the Company to date relate to its organization, initial funding, share issuances and regulatory compliance.
(b)
Basis of Presentation/Going Concern:
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $12,718, used cash from operations of $8,375 since its inception, and has a negative working capital of $7,543 at December 31, 2009. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is also dependent on its ability to find a suitable target company and enter into a possible reverse merger with such company. Management’s plan includes obtaining additional funds by equity financing through a reverse merger transaction and/or related party advances, however there is no assurance of additional funding being available. These circumstances 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 arise as a result of this uncertainty.
(c)
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(d)
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers highly liquid financial instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 2009.
(e)
Income Taxes:
The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect, when the differences are expected to reverse.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2009
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(Continued):
(e)
Income Taxes (continued):
In assessing the ability to realize deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Based upon the level of historical losses and projections of future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, a full valuation allowance has been provided as management believes that it is more likely than not, based upon available evidence, that the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
As of December 31, 2009, the Company has federal and states net operating loss carry forwards of $12,718. The federal and state net operating loss carry forwards will begin to expire in 2029. The Company’s ability to utilize net operating loss carry forwards may be limited in the event that a change in ownership, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code, occurs in the future.
(f)
Loss per Common Share:
Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each reporting period. Diluted loss per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding options and warrants, using various methods such as the treasury stock or modified treasury stock method in the determination of dilutive shares outstanding during each reporting period. The Company does not have any potentially dilutive instruments for this reporting period.
(g)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The carrying value of cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short period of time to maturity.

NOTE 2 - CAPITAL STOCK:
The total number of shares of capital stock which the Company shall have authority to issue is 110,000,000. These shares are divided into two classes with 100,000,000 shares designated as common stock at $.001 par value (the “Common Stock”) and 10,000,000 shares designated as preferred stock at $.001 par value (the “Preferred Stock”). The Preferred stock of the Company may be issued by the Board of Directors of the Company in one or more classes or one or more series within any class and such classes or series shall have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences, limitations or restrictions as the Board of Directors of the Company may determine, from time to time.
Holders of shares of Common stock shall be entitled to cast one vote for each share held at all stockholders’ meetings for all purposes, including the election of directors. The Common Stock does not have cumulative voting rights.
No holder of shares of stock of any class shall be entitled as a matter of right to subscribe for or purchase or receive any part of any new or additional issue of shares of stock of any class, or of securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, whether now hereafter authorized or whether issued for money, for consideration other than money, or by way of dividend.
On June 27, 2008, the Company sold 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock to three stockholders at a purchase price of $0.001 per share, for an aggregate price of $5,000. The Registrant sold these shares of Common Stock under the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
On March 27, 2009, three stockholders sold all 5,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock to a third party in a private transaction. These shares of Common Stock were sold under the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(1) of the Securities Act.
During the period ended December 31, 2008, $175 was donated to the Company and recorded as an addition to Additional Paid In Capital.
NOTE 3 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
In December 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-28, “When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)” (“ASU No. 2010-28”). ASU No. 2010-28 addresses how companies should test for goodwill impairment when the book value of a reporting entity is zero or negative. For reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. ASU No. 2010-28 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2010. Accordingly, the Company will adopt ASU No. 2010-28 commencing in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-28 does not have any effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 3 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CON’T):
In October 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-26, “Financial Services - Insurance (Topic 944): Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)” (“ASU No. 2010-26”). ASU No. 2010-26 addresses the diversity in practice regarding the interpretation of which costs relating to the acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts qualify for deferral. ASU No. 2010-26 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The amendments in ASU No. 2010-26 are to be applied prospectively upon adoption. Retrospective application to all prior periods presented upon the date of adoption also is permitted, but not required. Accordingly, the Company will adopt ASU No. 2010-26 commencing in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The Company does not anticipate that this standard will have any impact on its financial statements.
In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20, “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses” (“ASU No. 2010-20”). ASU No. 2010-20 amends ASC Topic 310-10-50, “Receivables - Overall - Disclosure,” by requiring that more information be disclosed to facilitate financial statement users’ evaluation of (i) the nature of credit risk inherent in an entity’s portfolio of financing receivables, (ii) how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses, and (iii) the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. The amendments in ASU No. 2010-20 affect all entities with financing receivables, excluding short-term trade accounts receivable or receivables measured at fair value or lower of cost or fair value. A company will need to disaggregate new and existing disclosure based on how it develops its allowance for credit losses related to financing receivables and how it manages credit exposures. Disclosures must be disaggregated by portfolio segment, the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for credit losses, and class of financing receivable, which is generally a disaggregation of portfolio segment. The required disclosures include, among other things, a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses as well as information about modified, impaired, non-accrual and past due loans and credit quality indicators. For public entities, ASU No. 2010-20 requires certain disclosures as of the end of a reporting period effective for periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. Other required disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-20 does not have any effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In January 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-01, “Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20” (“ASU No. 2011-01”). Amendments in ASU No. 2011-01 temporarily delay the effective date of disclosures about troubled debt restructurings included in ASU No. 2010-20 for public entities to be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2011. This amendment does not defer the effective date of the other disclosure requirements in ASU No. 2010-20. Accordingly, the Company adopted the provision of ASU No. 2010-20 pertaining to certain required disclosures as of the end of a reporting period in its first quarter of fiscal 2011. The Company will adopt other required disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period effective beginning with its second quarter of fiscal 2011. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-20 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements and interim reporting disclosures.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU No. 2010-06”), an amendment to ASC Topic 820. ASU No. 2010-06 amends ASC Topic 820 to add new requirements for: (1) disclosures about transfers of assets and liabilities measured at fair value into and out of Levels
1 and 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy, and (2) separate disclosures on a gross basis about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. It also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. ASU No. 2010-06 also amends guidance on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets under ASC Topic 715, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefits Plans - General - Disclosure,” to require that disclosures be provided by classes of assets instead of by major categories of assets. The guidance in ASU No. 2010-06 is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. In the period of initial adoption, entities will not be required to provide the amended disclosures for any previous periods presented for comparative purposes. However, those disclosures are required for periods ending after initial adoption. Accordingly, the Company adopted ASU No. 2010-06 in its second quarter of fiscal year-end 2010, except for the requirement to provide separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements, which will be adopted for the Company’s fiscal year-end 2012. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-06 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements and interim reporting disclosures and the adoption of the portion of ASU No. 2010-06 for fiscal year-end 2012 is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In January 2009, the SEC issued Release No. 33-9002, “Interactive Data to Improve Financial Reporting.” The final rule release requires companies to provide financial statement information in the eXtensible Business Reporting Language (“XBRL”) and addresses the SEC’s effort to make financial reports more useful to investors. Under the final rule, companies are required to submit their regulatory filings to the SEC and post them on their corporate websites in interactive data using XBRL. The interactive data will be provided as an exhibit to periodic and current reports and registration statements, as well as to transition reports for a change in fiscal year. The final rule also does not require public companies to use interactive tagging for the management’s discussion and analysis section of their filings, executive compensation disclosures, and other statistical or narrative disclosure. This release includes one temporary section (Section 232.406T) that limits an entity’s liability for making a “good faith attempt” to comply with its requirements and for making prompt correction of errors in the Interactive Data File if they occur, and it does not subject the entity to liability under anti-fraud provisions as discussed in the temporary section. Release No. 33-9002 is effective as of April 13, 2009, except the temporary section above is only effective from April 13, 2009 until October 31, 2014. The SEC adopted a phase-in schedule indicating when registrants must furnish interactive data. Under this schedule, the Company will be required to submit filings with financial statement information using XBRL commencing with periods ending on or after June 15, 2011, or the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for its third fiscal quarter of 2011. The Company is currently evaluating the impact to its financial reporting process of providing this additional information.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2009
NOTE 5 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through May 2, 2011, the date the financial statements were issued, and no additional items were noted that need to be disclosed.
Item 9.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
On September 23, 2010, the Company was notified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that it had received a letter from the Company’s former audit firm, M&K CPAs, PLLC (“M&K”), that M&K had ceased its relationship with the Company and had resigned as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Prior to September 23, 2010, the Company had not received any communication from M&K regarding its resignation.
The report of M&K on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008, contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle, except that the report expressed a concern regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During the recent fiscal years ending ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 and the subsequent period through December 31, 2010, there have been no (i) disagreements with M&K on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to M&K’s satisfaction, would have caused M&K to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its reports; or (ii) “reportable events” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
On March 11, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors decided to engage Paritz & Co., Hackensack, NJ as independent principal accountant and auditor to report on the Company's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, including performing the required quarterly reviews.
Item 9A.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company's Management under the supervision and with the participation of the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in the Exchange Act) for the Company. Based on their evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2009, the Company's Management has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the lack of segregation of duties to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Exchange Act and accumulated and communicated to the Company's Management, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. During the last quarter of the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective at the "reasonable assurance" level.
Item 9B.
Item 9B. Other Information.
None.
PART III
Item 10.
Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters and Control Persons; Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.
(a) Identification of Directors and Executive Officers. The following table sets forth certain information regarding the Company’s sole officer and director:
Geoffrey Alison has been CEO, CFO, President, Treasurer and Secretary of the Company since March 2009. He is registered with the National Association of Securities Dealers since 1999 and has worked as a general securities principal for various securities firms including Stock USA, Inc. (January 1999 - October 2001) and Assent, LLC (November 2001 - August 2004). From September 2004 through the present date, Mr. Alison has been a registered general securities principal with ECHOtrade, a Philadelphia Exchange member firm, as a securities trader for his own capital and benefit. From July 2003 through January 2005, he served as Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and a director of Intrac, Inc. (OTCBB:ITRD); from January 2005 through January 2006, he has also served as President, Secretary and a director of Cape Coastal Trading Corporation (OTCBB:CCTR) and Travel Hunt Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:TVHT). He currently also serves as President, Secretary and a director of Cyberspace Vita, Inc. and Target Acquisitions II, Inc. In October, 2002, Mr. Alison co-created Greenvest Industries, Inc. which manufactures pet products under the brand name Happy Tails Pet Beds. Mr. Alison is currently President and CEO of Greenvest Industries, Inc.
Mr. Alison devotes less than 5% of his business time to the affairs of the Company. The time Mr. Alison spends on the business affairs of the Company varies from week to week and is based upon the needs and requirements of the Company.
The term of office of each director expires at our annual meeting of stockholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Directors are not compensated for serving as such. Officers serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors
(b) Significant Employees.
As of the date hereof, the Company has no significant employees.
(c) Family Relationships.
There are no family relationships among directors, executive officers, or persons nominated or chosen by the issuer to become directors or executive officers.
(d) Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings.
There have been no events under any bankruptcy act, no criminal proceedings and no judgments, injunctions, orders or decrees material to the evaluation of the ability and integrity of any director, executive officer, promoter or control person of Registrant during the past five years.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors and officers, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities, to file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership of the Company’s securities with the SEC on Forms 3, 4 and 5. Officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based solely on the Company’s review of the copies of the forms received by it during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and written representations that no other reports were required, the Company believes that no person who, at any time during such fiscal year, was a director, officer or beneficial owner of more than 10% of the Company’s common stock failed to comply with all Section 16(a) filing requirements during such fiscal years.
Code of Ethics
We have not adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions in that our sole officer and director serve in these capacities.
Nominating Committee
We have not adopted any procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors.
Audit Committee
The Board of Directors acts as the audit committee. The Company does not have a qualified financial expert at this time because it has not been able to hire a qualified candidate. Further, the Company believes that it has inadequate financial resources at this time to hire such an expert. The Company intends to continue to search for a qualified individual for hire.
Item 11.
Item 11. Executive Compensation.
The Company’s officers and sole director have not received any cash remuneration since inception. He will not receive any remuneration until the consummation of an acquisition. No remuneration of any nature has been paid for on account of services rendered by a director in such capacity. Our sole officer and director intends to devote very limited time to our affairs.
It is possible that, after the Company successfully consummates a business combination with an unaffiliated entity, that entity may desire to employ or retain one or a number of members of our management for the purposes of providing services to the surviving entity. However, the Company has adopted a policy whereby the offer of any post-transaction employment to members of management will not be a consideration in our decision whether to undertake any proposed transaction. There are no understandings or agreements regarding compensation our management will receive after a business combination that is required to be disclosed, or otherwise.
No retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock option or insurance programs or other similar programs have been adopted by the Company for the benefit of its employees.
Director Compensation
We do not currently pay any cash fees to our directors, nor do we pay directors’ expenses for attending board meetings.
Employment Agreements
The Company is not a party to any employment agreements.
