ITEM 1.
BUSINESS
Organization within the Last Five Years
On March 25, 2008, the Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. We are engaged in the business of business support services to proprietors, entrepreneurs, and small business owners.
Emily Lussier has served as our President and Chief Executive Officer, from March 25, 2008 until the current date. Our board of directors is comprised of one person: Ms. Lussier.
We are authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share, and 10,000,00 shares of preferred stock, par value $.0001 per share. On March 25, 2008, 3,900,000 shares of our common stock were purchased by and issued to Ms. Lussier at a purchase price of $0.0001 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $390.00. On March 25, 2008, 20,000 shares of our common stock were purchased by and issued to Robert Steele, our CFO, at a purchase price of $0.0001 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $2.00. Subsequently, an additional 252,000 shares of common stock were issued to 47 shareholders, at an offering price of $0.25 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $63,000.
Our Proposed Business
We intend to enter the business of offering business support services and outsourced business processes to proprietors, entrepreneurs and small businesses in the United States. Our services will include project management, database and information storage, the creation of legally compliant business policies, document management services, and finance and accounting services. The Company intends to initially fulfill these services by employing labor in the United States, and then increasingly by employing lower-cost labor in developing nations such as the Philippines and India. We are not presently operational, but anticipate commencing operations provided we can raise additional financing of between $500,000 and $2,500,000. To date we have not been successful raising such funds but are currently seeking a source of financing. Our primary focus will be to hire management personnel in both marketing and business support services areas.
Initial Rollout
The Company is seeking to raise between $500,000 and $2,500,000 by October 2011. If raised, this capital will permit the Company to engage in its initial rollout (herein, the “Initial Rollout”). The Initial Rollout will entail the hiring of the initial employees and initiation of the Company’s early service offerings, such as project management, database and information storage, the creation of legally compliant business policies, book keeping and document management services. These services will be offered to clients in the United States, and will largely be fulfilled with employees and resources originating in the United States.
Secondary Rollout
After the Company completes its Initial Rollout, the Company will seek to raise additional capital in the equity and debt markets. If the Company is successful raising additional capital, it will initiate the next phase of its business plan (herein, the “Secondary Rollout”). In the Secondary Rollout, the will deploy new capital to continue to hire staff and improve its technology and operations, and will seek to offer additional services to its customers which are more capital intensive, such as finance and accounting services. The Company will also be in a better position to utilize overseas vendors for the fulfillment of its BPO services to its U.S. based customers, and so international fulfillment will be one component of the Secondary Rollout.
Overview
The Company intends to offer business support services to proprietors, entrepreneurs, and small business owners by offering a full suite of outsourced business processes including project management, database and information storage, legally compliant policy manual generation, document management services, and finance and accounting services to businesses in the U.S. As part of its Initial Rollout, the Company will secure office space, hire necessary personnel, purchase equipment, further develop the service offering, and commence its marketing efforts. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in these endeavors or that if accomplishes all of these steps it will be able to operate profitably. Based on management’s personal experience, the Company believes that its product and service offerings constitute a legitimate business opportunity for the Company and its shareholders. As part of the Initial Rollout, the Company intends to fulfill the BPO needs of its customers by utilizing resources and employees in the United States, but the Company also believes that as it continues to grow and enters its Secondary Rollout , it can reduce costs and increase margins by utilizing BPO personnel in foreign countries, such as the Philippines and India, to fulfill the BPO services on behalf of its U.S. customers.
Through the Company’s services, clients will be able to gain the advantage of maintaining their growth goals without the need to sacrifice precious resources to address standard business bottlenecks. The Company therefore will allow firms to retain their entrepreneurial speed and agility, advantages they would otherwise sacrifice in dealing with logistics rather than the specific focus of the client’s business. The Company will also allow clients to grow at a faster pace as they will be less constrained by large capital expenditures for people, training, equipment, or mistakes made from lack of experience in areas which are unrelated to the client’s specific business purpose.
The field of business process outsourcing has shown dramatic growth in recent years. According to Deloitte, a global organization of member firms devoted to providing audit, tax, consulting, and financial advisory services, the key factors considered when selecting an off-shore outsourcing location are: 1) cost, 2) proficiency in language, 3) industry expertise, 4) technology infrastructure, 5) time zone, 6) political risk, and 7) climate (in that order). (Business Trends Quarterly, Q3 2006).
The Business Process Outsourcing (BPO for short) industry is one of the fastest-growing business sectors in the world. Although much of the demand for such services emanates from the United States and Europe, much of the fulfillment of BPO services occurs in developing nations, such as the Philippines and India. Strong demand for outsourcing services has long been fueled by voice-based services, but demand for back-office support services and high- value “knowledge processing” services is increasing rapidly according to the results of a recent Business Processing Association/Philippines survey conducted with Outsource2Philippines. Seventy percent of respondents - BPO executives in the Philippines - said services they provide to clients are high or very high value-added. As a result, analysts project positive growth for the outsourcing industry and forecast a global BPO market worth $220 billion to $280 billion by 2012. (International BPO conference to tackle global industry issues, Business World, August 6, 2009).
According to a report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc. released in April 2010, the global finance and accounting outsourcing market, just one subset of the overall BPO market, is set to reach $44.9 billion by 2015 (Global Finance & Accounting Outsourcing Market Set to Reach $44.9 Billion by 2015, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc., Global Industry Analysts, Inc., April 2010). In fact, the report concludes that as a result of the global economic crisis, a growing number of firms are outsourcing their finance-related processes to third-party providers, thereby gaining exposure to new technologies, expanding market presence around the globe, achieving better cost efficiencies, and gaining best practices of the industry. The Company intends to leverage these cost efficiencies associated with the use of offshore BPO providers.
NelsonHall’s BPO Index for 2007 showed that the BPO market was prospering with year-on-year total contract value (TCV) growth of 147 percent and that the leading indicators for future BPO growth were strong. The defense sector is becoming an increasing source of “white-collar” BPO and two U.S. military contracts worth a combined total of $17.4 billion made a major contribution to 2007 BPO TCV growth. Removing these contracts to show the underlying level of BPO TCV growth in the commercial sector and civil government agencies gives global BPO TCV growth of 28 percent.
In addition, BPO is consistently increasing in strength in all regions. By region, 2007 BPO TCV growth across the commercial sector and civil government agencies was 34 percent in North America, 26 percent in Europe, and 19 percent in the rest of the world.
In addition to a strengthening of BPO in 2007 overall, there was a relative strengthening in BPO contract signings as the year progressed, which bode well for prospects for BPO growth in the future. Although the first half of the year tends to be the stronger in terms of contract activity, BPO TCV in the second half of 2007 matched that in the first half of 2007, with the level of H2 BPO signings in Europe at record levels, indicating that BPO signings remain on an upward trend. Overall BPO contract activity in H2 2007 was over 20 percent stronger than would have been predicted on the basis of H1 signings. (Nelson Hall BPO Index Identifies 147% Growth in BPO TCV in 2007: Indicators are Strong, January 10, 2008).
More recent data only validates this growth trend. Growth in employment in the BPO industry has risen at a compounded annual growth rate of 26% since 2002. Going forward, the BPO industry is expected to grow 15-17% in fiscal year 2011 ( The Financial Express , July 25, 2010). According to a June 2010 prediction by the National Association of Software and Service Companies (Nasscom), the addressable market from the sector has a strong future, Information Week reports. The report suggests the BPO industry will increase to reach between $890 billion and $980 billion in 2020, tripling in size from its current $200 billion.
We expect over time and as part of the Secondary Rollout to expand the fulfillment of our operations to some foreign countries, for both the benefit of our clients, and to generate greater profits as a result of lower operational costs. As an example, such operational costs would consist of lower average wages for workers. Expansion to overseas markets in business process outsourcing has been commonplace for the last decade. The Company believes that by pairing its U.S. customer base with lower-cost fulfillment overseas, it can achieve a cost-competitive offering and expand more rapidly.
The industry employed about 372 thousand workers as of year-end 2008 and generated 6 billion US dollars of export revenue for the year. In 2008, the creative BPO sector generated total revenue of $150 million. The Philippines currently is getting 15 percent of the total creative outsourcing market, while India is getting 37 percent. (CICT executive confident RP to hit BPO growth target, Ehda M. Dagooc (The Freeman), September 15, 2009).
A decade ago, McKinsey and India’s powerful information technology and outsourcing trade group, Nasscom, predicted that revenue from outsourcing by foreign companies would reach $50 billion in India in 2010. (Wall Street Journal, Heather Timmons, June 2, 2009) According to the findings of NASSCOM, the sector BPO sector in India has reached USD 58.8 billion in Fiscal Year 2008-2009 up from USD 52 billion in Fiscal Year 2007-2008. Export revenues for the Indian IT-BPO industry recorded growth of 16.3 percent and clocked revenues of $46.3 billion in Fiscal Year 2008-2009 up from USD 40.4 billion in Fiscal Year 2007-2008. The domestic segment grew by 21% to register revenues of INR 570 billion in Fiscal Year 2008-2009 from INR 470 billion in Fiscal Year 2007-2008. (Indian IT-BPO industry shows resilience; to grow by 4-7 percent in FY09-10, ENP Newswire, July 29, 2009).
Other locations like Eastern Europe, Philippines, Morocco, Egypt and South Africa have emerged to take a share of the market. China is also trying to grow from a very small base in this industry. However, while the business process outsourcing industry is expected to continue to grow in India, its market share of the offshore piece is expected to decline. Important centers in India are Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, Pune, Chennai and New Delhi. This international growth of BPO is relevant to the Company’s business prospects, because (a) the Company believes it can maximize its margins and growth potential by outsourcing BPO processes to these growing foreign markets, and (b) the growth of BPO services in such foreign markets demonstrates the overall growth in the underlying demand for such services.
The World BPO/ITO Summit of 2010 reported that on the topic of work going offshore, there is broad agreement that the efficiency enhancements will permit more effective use of skilled US workers to increase productivity, quality and operational enhancements, which will fuel top-line growth.
Proposed Products and Services
The Company will market its “Virtual Admin” brand to businesses to help optimize their management’s time and allow them to focus on their core business activities. Although we have not conducted any formal studies, we believe that the small business community will be receptive to our services. We will seek to obtain referrals through word-of-mouth from our relationships and utilize our initial performance record in our marketing strategy to commence building a larger customer base. Among the services that we propose to offer customers as part of the Initial Rollout are :
(i)
overall analysis of the customer’s various logistical systems and functions, such as customer service, purchasing, inventory control, transportation and warehousing;
(ii)
recommendations for and/or implementation of improvements, modifications, cost reductions and/or other efficiencies in the performance of various of these systems and functions;
(iii)
recommendations for and/or implementation of outsourcing of functions to third parties where appropriate;
(iv)
consulting in areas such as technology, feasibility and cost analysis, sales and management training, business, planning, website strategy, post training support, corporate training and development;
(v)
review of the customers policies and procedures to ensure compliance with various laws and regulations relating to employment practices, including procedural or training manuals with adherence to ISO or other quality standards of business. File storage of documentation is provided via CD or on-line. May include layout, design, scanning, and insertion of clip art, general input, formatting, printing, photocopying, and binding of the manuals created;
(vi)
specific problem-solving, such as creating timelines and plans, budget development, deliverables management, communications planning, and documentation. Project tracking and notification of past due tasks, generating reports, and maintenance of the project plan from initiation through completion of the project, contract negotiation, administration, reporting and control;
(vii)
office management, which includes faxing, research, book keeping, bill payment and invoicing, travel requirements, meeting and event planning, transcriptions, translations, correspondence, mail merge set-up of personalized form letters, flyers, and general mail outs; and
Among the services that we propose to offer customers as part of the Secondary Rollout are:
(i)
finance and accounting outsourcing (FAO), which we describe in more detail below.
(ii)
client business expansion, which would include compilation of new or revisions to existing proposals, presentations, bids, or other forms of documentation and correspondence, and PowerPoint presentations to prospective clientele.
(iii)
As we have indicated in the “Risk Factors” section and throughout this prospectus, the Company is not yet operational and will require substantial additional funds . The exact array of services we will offer will be affected by our ability to raise additional capital to secure the office space, personnel and equipment required to provide these services. The greater amount of capital we raise, the greater our services will be both in the quantity of different services we offer and the number of clients we might serve. We will need to raise additional funds of $500,000 to $2,500,000 to further develop our product and additional funds to truly become operational, implement our business plan, bring our product to market, respond to competitive pressures or acquire complementary businesses or technologies.
The Company intends to begin offering FAO services as part of its Secondary Rollout. Finance departments are under more pressure than ever to deliver timely and accurate financial information while improving strategic value. Today’s CFOs are voicing ongoing frustration about being too consumed with non-value adding transactional activities and regulatory compliance and not having enough time to focus on corporate strategy and being a partner to business. Increased turnover in finance departments, increased demands on financial reporting and legacy IT is compounding the pressure on time and management of finance and accounting departments. The Company’s FAO services will help reduce the pressure on a finance and accounting department and provide an effective solution to some of these challenges. The Company will partner with clients to redefine their finance operations by bringing technology capabilities, domain expertise, value add management, operational excellence and relentless focus on process improvement and predictability. The Company intends to provide a wide range of finance, accounting, and tax outsourcing services. Clients will be able to choose to outsource one or two discrete processes, such as accounts payable/ receivable or choose to outsource their entire accounting function.
We will not, like some logistics firms, specialize in any one area of the logistics industry. Rather, our executive officer will seek to use her expertise and experience to make available to, and customize to the business and operations of, each customer all of the services aforementioned, including, but not limited to, overall analysis, recommendations, implementation and specific problem-solving.
We will charge each customer a fee for our services based upon, among other factors, the time necessitated in the performance of, and the difficulty of the services. We intend, depending upon the success of our initial operations and depending upon our ability to raise additional capital over the next twelve months, to employ limited additional personnel with experience in the logistics business. While our working capital is extremely limited at the present time, provided that we can raise additional capital through the sales of our common stock over the next twelve months, we would like to employ a limited number of additional employees in addition to our executive officers, including a marketing specialist and a part-time bookkeeper. Our continuation in business after the expiration of one year from the date of this offering and the employment of significant additional staff, will be dependent upon our achievement of significant profits from operations and/or obtaining significant capital from third party investors. Eventually, assuming our initial success in generating operating profits and raising capital from third party investors, management plans to expand the scope of our services and to begin to utilize foreign workers to fulfill our customer’s BPO needs. We have also engaged Touchstone Advisors, Inc., a company controlled by Jonathan Destler, to assist us with general business consulting which has included identifying and recruiting our present CFO. We have paid that consultant $29,000 in consulting fees pursuant to an oral agreement. The oral agreement is month to month, and can be terminated by either party at any time. We do not intend to offer that consultant any stock as compensation.
In order to ensure the performance of high quality, state-of-the-art, customized services, we will endeavor to follow specific procedures ourselves, double-checking crucial steps and benchmarking our services with those of competitors. Certain of the procedures that we intend to follow include: (i) prompt response to customers during, and availability to customers for emergencies after, business hours; (ii) provision of free, written estimates within approximately 72 hours; (iii) commencement of work within seven days following the receipt of a signed contract; (iv) completion of services undertaken without interruption; (v) use of the highest quality products and materials available; (vi) follow-up subsequent to the completion of each job to ensure customer satisfaction; and (vii) guarantee of satisfaction of the services performed. Additionally, we intend to evaluate and assess the nature, quality and timeliness of our services from time-to-time through surveys and other means in order to be responsive to changes in market conditions and customer demands and to be competitive with the services offered by competitors.
Operating Plan and Cost Analysis
After we complete our initial funding after the effectiveness of this Registration Statement, as part of its Initial Rollout the Company will hire sales manager, marketing manager, accounting manager and delivery manager. The sales and marketing managers will design the web site and the sales tools necessary to introduce prospective customers to our service offering.
The service offering will include a suite of services including:
·
Graphics, Animation, Presentations, Logo Creation
·
Brochure Creation, Illustrations, Banners
·
Customer Service, Web Research, Word Processing
·
Email Handling, Translation, Data Entry, Transcription
Services will be offered on a monthly contract basis with four packages; Tier One - 10 hours a month, Tier Two - 20 hours a month, Tier Three - 30 hours a month, Tier Four - 40 hours a month.
The accounting manager will purchase and configure the accounting system and establish accounting procedures. The delivery manager will establish the training program to train new employees on delivering the services. The delivery manager will design and implement the work ordering, scheduling and billing software that will administrate the identification and delegation of client services.
The sales manager will hire sales people for each geographical region. The marketing manager will develop a webinar that prospective customers can attend. The marketing manager will purchase keywords like “virtual admin” on Google adwords to drive traffic to the webinar. The marketing manager will purchase email lists and send bulk email to small and medium sized businesses to generate interest in the webinar. Sales staff will call leads generated from people who attend the webinar, review the services and sign contracts with new customers.
Customers will be given a main contact. They will be able to assign work and communicate with their main contact via email and Skype with or without video. If the customer requests a service that is not the core competency of the main contact, the main contract will receive the work request and enter it into the system. The delivery manager will review these contacts in real-time and assign the proper resource to accomplish the task.
We estimate that it will take 12 months to complete the Initial Rollout and become cash flow positive. We believe that if the Company can raise an additional $2.5 million in capital (see “Recent Activities of the Company” below), that amount of capital will get the Company to cash flow positive. We estimate operating expenses to be approximately $150,000 per month. We estimate our gross margin to be 28% to 30%. In 2004, according to the US Census Bureau, there were 1.2 million businesses in the United States with between 10 and 500 employees. To break even, we will need to make $600,000 a month in sales, the equivalent of 1,500 Tier Four contracts which is 0.1% of the market.

The Company will take care to phase in its various offerings based upon the amount of capital it is able to raise (see “Recent Activities of the Company” below). To that end, the Company intends to offer some of the lower-cost services as part of the Initial Rollout, such as outsourcing recommendations, compliance and document storage, and office management including research, book keeping and bill management. When the Company generates positive cash flow and is able to raise additional financing from the capital markets, the Company will initiate its Secondary Rollout and will begin offering some of the higher-cost and more robust outsourced services such as finance and accounting services and will tap the international markets for lower-cost labor fulfillment. As stated in the initial paragraph in the “Risk Factors” section, the exact array of services we will offer will be affected by our ability to raise additional capital to secure the office space, personnel and equipment required to provide these services. The greater amount of capital we raise, the greater our services will be both in the quantity of different services we offer and the number of clients we might serve.
Planned Sales and Marketing
Our marketing effort will be a vital part of our operation. We will market direct to our customers and have allocated a significant portion of our operating budget to this marketing effort that may include hiring marketing personnel, advertising in trade publications and, if required, advertising in the general media. We have not conducted any studies to determine the optimal price points for our proposed product.
Competition
Competition in all aspects of the outsourced services and business services industry is intense. We will compete against established outsourced business services companies with name familiarity and greater financial resources. We intend to use our relatively small size to our advantage by focusing on customer service and by deploying unique marketing strategies. A large part of our effort to compete against our other companies in our field will be directed to being recognized in this market of large players and, as a small company, to gain the trust of purchasing decision makers at our potential customers. In an effort to effectively compete, we will focus heavily on providing excellent service to our customers. We also intend to compete by running cutting edge marketing campaigns that use the internet and other technologies to educate the market about our services. Competitors may seek to duplicate the benefits of our services in ways that do not infringe on any benefits that our services offer. As a result we could find that our entire marketing plan and business model is undercut or made irrelevant by actions of other companies under which we have no control. We cannot promise that we can accomplish our marketing goals and as a result may experience negative impact upon our operating results.
Employees
As of December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011 and currently we have no employees. Our officers serve us on a part time basis and are compensated minimally. If we become fully operational, we foresee the need for five technical employees, at least two clerical employees, and marketing and sales personnel as determined by management’s judgment of our business’ needs.
Legal Proceedings
We are not party to any legal proceeding and are unaware of any threatened legal proceeding to which we may become subject.

MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS MARKET INFORMATION
Our shares of common stock do not trade on an exchange or on any over-the-counter market.
We intend to have our common stock be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. If our securities are not quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, a security holder may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our securities. The OTC Bulletin Board differs from national and regional stock exchanges in that it:
(i) is not situated in a single location but operates through communication of bids, offers and confirmations between broker-dealers, and
(ii) securities admitted to quotation are offered by one or more broker-dealers rather than the “specialist” common to stock exchanges.
To qualify for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, an equity security must have one registered broker-dealer, known as the market maker, willing to list bid or sale quotations and to sponsor the company listing. We do not yet have an agreement with a registered broker-dealer, as the market maker, willing to list bid or sale quotations and to sponsor the Company listing. If the Company meets the qualifications for trading securities on the OTC Bulletin Board our securities will trade on the OTC Bulletin Board until a future time, if at all, that we apply and qualify for admission to quotation on the NASDAQ Capital Market. We may not now and it may never qualify for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board or be accepted for listing of our securities on the NASDAQ Capital Market.
TRANSFER AGENT
The transfer agent for our common stock is Colonial Stock Transfer Company, Inc., 66 Exchange Place - Suite 100, Salt Lake City, UT 84111, and their telephone number is: (801) 355-5740.
HOLDERS
As of December 31, 2010, the Company had 4,212,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding held by 50 holders of record.
DIVIDENDS
Historically, we have not paid any dividends to the holders of our common stock and we do not expect to pay any such dividends in the foreseeable future as we expect to retain our future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business.
RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
None.
SECURITIES AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE UNDER EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS
We have not established any compensation plans under which equity securities are authorized for issuance.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
We are in a developmental stage. Implementing our planned business operation is dependent on our ability to raise between $500,000 and $2,500,000 of additional capital after all offering expenses paid to a placement agent, attorneys, accountants and the like.
Our plan is to utilize such capital we raise as follows:

The foregoing are estimates only and any funds may be reallocated based upon management’s evaluation of then existing conditions. We have no current plans on how to raise the additional funding. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funds to proceed with the foregoing plans.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We have generated no revenues since inception and have incurred $104,552 in expenses from inception through December 31, 2010. These expenses were comprised of $94,948 in professional fees, $7,500 in management fees and $2,104 in general and administrative costs. We incurred expenses of $27,345 and $28,644 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Our net loss since inception (March 25, 2008) through December 31, 2010 was $104,552. The following table provides selected financial data about our company for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
GOING CONCERN
Silverhill Management Services, Inc. is an exploration stage company and currently has no operations. Our independent auditor has issued an audit opinion for Silverhill Management Services which includes a statement raising substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our cash balance at December 31, 2010 was $242 with $20,663 in outstanding liabilities. Total expenditures over the next 12 months are expected to be approximately $25,000. If we experience a shortage of funds prior to generating revenues from operations we may utilize funds from our directors, who have informally agreed to advance funds to allow us to pay for operating costs, however they have no formal commitment, arrangement or legal obligation to advance or loan funds to us. Management believes our current cash balance will not be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains statements that are forward-looking. These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially because of factors discussed in the “Risk Factor” section.
Cash flow activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities were $20,773 which includes net loss from operations of $27,345, offset by increases of $6,575 in accrued expenses.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities. We had no net cash provided by financing activities through sale of common stock.
Over the next twelve months our existing capital may not be sufficient to sustain our operations. Management plans to seek additional capital to fund operations through additional equity financing. No assurance can be made that such financing would be available. Even if the equity financing is successful, it could have a negative impact on our financial condition and dilute our existing shareholders’ equity interest in the Company.
We had minimal capital expenditures for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and we do not anticipate the need for any significant capital expenditures during the next twelve (12) months.
INFLATION
Inflation can be expected to have an impact on our operating costs. A prolonged period of inflation could cause a general economic downturn and negatively impact our results. However, the effect of inflation has been minimal over the past three years.
SEASONALITY
We do not believe that our business will be seasonal to any material degree.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Silverhill Management Services, Inc.
(A development stage company)
Tyngsboro, Massachusetts
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Silverhill Management Services, Inc. (a development stage company) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended, and for the period from March 25, 2008 (inception) through December 31, 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 audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our 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 the Company as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, and for the period from March 25, 2008 (inception) through December 31, 2010 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 3 to the financial statements, the Company had a deficit accumulated during the development stage at December 31, 2010 and had a net loss and net cash used in operating activities for the year then ended, with no revenues earned since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to the Financial Statements
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS
Silverhill Management Services, Inc. (a development stage company) (the “Company”) was incorporated on March 25, 2008 under the laws of the State of Delaware. A substantial portion of the Company’s activities has involved developing a business plan and establishing contacts and visibility in the marketplace. The Company plans to offer business support services to proprietors, entrepreneurs, and small business owners.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Development stage company
The Company is a development stage company as defined by section 915-10-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The Company is still devoting substantially all of its efforts on establishing the business and its planned principal operations have not commenced. All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities 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.
Due to the limited level of operations, the Company has not had to make material assumptions or estimates other than the assumption that the Company is a going concern.
Cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or a non-recurring basis, consequently, the Company did not have any fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value at December 31, 2010 or 2009, no gains or losses are reported in the statements of operations that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date for the year ended December 31, 2010 or 2009.
Revenue recognition
The Company follows paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company adopted section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 740-10-25”). Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of Section 740-10-25.
Net income (loss) per common share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive outstanding shares of common stock during the period. There were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding as of December 31, 2010 or 2009.
Commitments and contingencies
The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.
Cash flows reporting
The Company adopted paragraph 230-10-45-24 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for cash flows reporting, classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category, and uses the indirect or reconciliation method (“Indirect method”) as defined by paragraph 230-10-45-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities by removing the effects of (a) all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and payments and (b) all items that are included in net income that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments. The Company reports the reporting currency equivalent of foreign currency cash flows, using the current exchange rate at the time of the cash flows and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash held in foreign currencies is reported as a separate item in the reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of cash and cash equivalents and separately provides information about investing and financing activities not resulting in cash receipts or payments in the period pursuant to paragraph 830-230-45-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.
Subsequent events
The Company follows the guidance in Section 855-10-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company will evaluate subsequent events through the date when the financial statements were issued. Pursuant to ASU 2010-09 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, the Company as an SEC filer considers its financial statements issued when they are widely distributed to users, such as through filing them on EDGAR.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”, which provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that requires new disclosures as follows:
1.
Transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2. A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers.
2.
Activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number).
This Update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that clarify existing disclosures as follows:
1.
Level of disaggregation. A reporting entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. A class is often a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position. A reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities.
2.
Disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. Those disclosures are required for fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3.
This Update also includes conforming amendments to the guidance on employers' disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets (Subtopic 715-20). The conforming amendments to Subtopic 715-20 change the terminology from major categories of assets to classes of assets and provide a cross reference to the guidance in Subtopic 820-10 on how to determine appropriate classes to present fair value disclosures. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-13, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades” (“ASU 2010-13”). This update provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in ASU 2010-13 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010.
In August 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-21, “Accounting for Technical Amendments to Various SEC Rules and Schedules: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Release No. 33-9026: Technical Amendments to Rules, Forms, Schedules and Codification of Financial Reporting Policies” (“ASU 2010-21”), was issued to conform the SEC’s reporting requirements to the terminology and provisions in ASC 805, Business Combinations, and in ASC 810-10, Consolidation. ASU No. 2010-21 was issued to reflect SEC Release No. 33-9026, “Technical Amendments to Rules, Forms, Schedules and Codification of Financial Reporting Policies,” which was effective April 23, 2009. The ASU also proposes additions or modifications to the XBRL taxonomy as a result of the amendments in the update.
In August 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-22, “Accounting for Various Topics: Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs” (“ASU 2010-22”), which amends various SEC paragraphs based on external comments received and the issuance of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 112, which amends or rescinds portions of certain SAB topics. The topics affected include reporting of inventories in condensed financial statements for Form 10-Q, debt issue costs in conjunction with a business combination, sales of stock by subsidiary, gain recognition on sales of business, business combinations prior to an initial public offering, loss contingent and liability assumed in business combination, divestitures, and oil and gas exchange offers.
In December 2010, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-28 “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts” (“ASU 2010-28”).Under ASU 2010-28, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit is zero or negative, an entity must assess whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists. To make that determination, an entity should consider whether there are adverse qualitative factors that could impact the amount of goodwill, including those listed in ASC 350-20-35-30. As a result of the new guidance, an entity can no longer assert that a reporting unit is not required to perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test because the carrying amount of the reporting unit is zero or negative, despite the existence of qualitative factors that indicate goodwill is more likely than not impaired. ASU 2010-28 is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010, with early adoption prohibited.
In December 2010, the FASB issued the FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-29 “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations” (“ASU 2010-29”). ASU 2010-29 specifies that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments in this Update also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures under Topic 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The amended guidance is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $104,552 at December 31, 2010 with a net loss of $27,345 and net cash used in operating activities of $20,773 for the year then ended, respectively, with no revenues earned since inception.
While the Company is attempting to commence operations and generate revenues, the Company’s cash position may not be sufficient enough to support the Company’s daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to implement its business plan and generate revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate revenues.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Free office space from its majority stockholder and Chief Executive Officer
The Company has been provided office space by its majority stockholder and Chief Executive Officer at no cost. The management determined that such cost is nominal and did not recognize the rent expense in its financial statements.
NOTE 5 - STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
Common stock
The Company was incorporated on March 25, 2008 at which time 3,960,000 shares of common stock were issued to the Company’s founders at $0.0001 per share for $396.
On May 7, 2008, the Company sold 4,000 shares of its common stock in a private placement at $0.25 per share to one (1) individual for $1,000.
For the period from July 15, 2008 through September 25, 2008, the Company sold 92,000 shares of its common stock in a private placement at $0.25 per share to sixteen (16) individuals for $23,000.
For the period from October 3, 2008 through December 15, 2008, the Company sold 80,000 shares of its common stock in a private placement at $0.25 per share to fifteen (15) individuals for $20,000.
For the period from January 12, 2009 through January 27, 2009, the Company sold 28,000 shares of its common stock at $0.25 per share to seven (7) individuals for $7,000.
For the period from May 29, 2009 through June 18, 2009, the Company sold 24,000 shares of its common stock at $0.25 per share to five (5) individuals for $6,000.
On July 2, 2009, the Company sold 24,000 shares of its common stock at $0.25 per share to three (3) individuals for $6,000.
Additional paid-in capital
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the majority stockholder of the Company paid professional fees of $20,735 in aggregate on behalf of the Company. Such payments have been shown as a contribution to capital and included in additional paid-in capital.
NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES
Deferred tax assets
At December 31, 2010, the Company had net operating loss (“NOL”) carry-forwards for Federal income tax purposes of $104,552 that may be offset against future taxable income through 2030. No tax benefit has been reported with respect to these net operating loss carry-forwards in the accompanying financial statements because the Company believes that the realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets of approximately $35,548 was not considered more likely than not and accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net loss carry-forwards are fully offset by a valuation allowance of $35,548.
Deferred tax assets consist primarily of the tax effect of NOL carry-forwards. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets because of the uncertainty regarding its realizability. The valuation allowance increased approximately $9,298 and $9,737 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Components of deferred tax assets at December 31, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:

A reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax rate and the effective income tax rate as a percentage of income before income taxes is as follows:
NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated all events that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date when the financial statements were issued to determine if they must be reported. The Management of the Company determined that there were no reportable subsequent events to be disclosed.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, we are responsible for conducting an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures means that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to our company, including any consolidating subsidiaries, and was made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of December 31, 2010.
MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
As of December 31, 2010, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and effected by the Company’s Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:
·
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets;
·
Provide reasonable assurance our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
·
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statement.
In evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. Based on that evaluation, completed by Emily Lussier, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Robert Steele, our Chief Financial Officer who also serves as our principal accounting officer, Ms. Lussier and Mr. Steele concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below.
This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (i) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (ii) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (iii) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our President and Chief Executive Officer, and our Chief Financial Officer, who also serves as our principal accounting officer, in connection with the review of our financial statements as of December 31, 2010.
Management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

TERM OF OFFICE
All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. The Company’s Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors will consist of no less than three members. Officers are elected by and serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Our board of directors is currently composed of two members, neither of whom qualifies as an independent director in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our board of directors has not made a subjective determination as to each director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our board of directors made these determinations, our board of directors would have reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.
CERTAIN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
No director, nominee for director, or executive officer of the Company has appeared as a party in any legal proceeding material to an evaluation of his ability or integrity during the past five years.
SIGNIFICANT EMPLOYEES AND CONSULTANTS
Other than our officers and directors, we currently have no other significant employees.
AUDIT COMMITTEE AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our directors. The Board of Directors has not established an audit committee and does not have an audit committee financial expert, nor has the Board of Directors established a nominating committee. The Board is of the opinion that such committees are not necessary since the Company is an early exploration stage company and has only two directors, and to date, such directors have been performing the functions of such committees. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our directors and officers have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, nominations, and audit issues that may affect management decisions.
There are no family relationships among our directors or officers. Other than as described above, we are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executive officers or directors.
SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater-than-ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based on our review of filings made on the SEC website, and the fact of us not receiving certain forms or written representations from certain reporting persons that they have complied with the relevant filing requirements, we believe that, during the year ended December 31, 2010, our executive officers, directors and greater-than-ten percent stockholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements.
CODE OF ETHICS
The Company has not adopted a code of ethics that applies to its principal executive officers, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. The Company has not adopted a code of ethics because it has only commenced operations.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The following table lists, as of December 31, 2010, the number of shares of common stock of our Company that are beneficially owned by (i) each person or entity known to our Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding common stock; (ii) each officer and director of our Company; and (iii) all officers and directors as a group. Information relating to beneficial ownership of common stock by our principal shareholders and management is based upon information furnished by each person using “beneficial ownership” concepts under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security. The person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under the Securities and Exchange Commission rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which he or she may not have any pecuniary beneficial interest. Except as noted below, each person has sole voting and investment power.
The percentages below are calculated based on 4,212,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2010. We do not have any outstanding warrant, options or other securities exercisable for or convertible into shares of our common stock.

Audit Fees - This category includes the audit of our annual financial statements included in our Form 10-K Annual Report, review of financial statements included in our Form 10-Q Quarterly Reports and services that are normally provided by the independent auditors in connection with engagements for those fiscal years. This category also includes advice on audit and accounting matters that arose during, or as a result of, the audit or the review of interim financial statements.
Audit-Related Fees - This category consists of assurance and related services by the independent auditors that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported above under “Audit Fees”. The services for the fees disclosed under this category include consultation regarding our correspondence with the SEC and other accounting consulting.
Tax Fees - This category consists of professional services rendered by our independent auditors for tax compliance and tax advice. The services for the fees disclosed under this category include tax return preparation and technical tax advice.
All Other Fees - This category consists of fees for review of our registration statement included in our Form S-1 Registration Report.
Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that before our auditor is engaged by us or our subsidiaries 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.
