Item 1.
Description of Business
(a) Business Development.
Barossa Coffee Company, Inc. is a small start up company that was incorporated in March 2005. In July 2005, the Company filed a registration statement on Form SB-2 with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, to register an offering, on a "best efforts minimum/maximum" basis, of up to 400,000 shares of $.001 par value common stock, at a price of $0.25 per share. The registration statement was declared effective September 20, 2005. The Company sold 298,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the offering. The offering closed November 30, 2005, and raised gross proceeds of $74,500. This increased the total issued and outstanding common stock to 2,098,000 shares as of June 30, 2006. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, 200,000 shares were cancelled and 160,000 shares were issued. On November 10, 2008, 126,000 shares of common stock were issued for consideration of $12,600 cash. On December 31, 2009 the Company sold 75,050 shares of its restricted common stock at $0.10 per share, and again on March 18, 2010, another 75,050 shares. On November 1, 2010 Barossa sold 2,400,000 shares of its common stock for $15,000 or $.00625 per share, bringing the current total number of outstanding shares to 4,734,100.
(b) Business of Company.
Barossa was formed to open and operate, through a wholly owned subsidiary, Alchemy Coffee Company, Inc., a retail, specialty coffee outlet. The Company opened a retail coffee outlet featuring specialty coffees in February 2006 and utilized the experience of management in the coffee/cafe industry to specialize in the sale of the highest quality, fresh locally roasted coffee beans and espresso related beverages; as well as organic food and baked goods, teas, juices, and specific health foods and beverages.
However, even though the Company generated revenues from operations of $60,691 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, operating losses forced it to seek additional funding, which it borrowed from shareholders. Because of the continuing cash needs of Alchemy which could not be met by the Corporation, management and principal shareholders negotiated and reached a Stock Exchange Agreement on October 11, 2006, between the Corporation and Jason Briggs, manager of the coffee shop, wherein Briggs received all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Alchemy Coffee Company, Inc. in exchange for all 200,000 shares of the Corporation’s common stock beneficially owned by Briggs, which were delivered to the Corporation and cancelled. The Corporation determined that since the inception of Alchemy as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, $55,715 has been advanced to Alchemy and not repaid. The Corporation determined that the value of Alchemy was substantially less than the amount invested and determined that the 200,000 shares it received as consideration for Alchemy had at least as great a value as Alchemy and that this was the best value that could be received by the Corporation for Alchemy and that this transaction was in the best interests of the Corporation.
With this transaction, the Company was no longer engaged in any business activities and had no operations. The Company’s principal activity is to investigate potential acquisitions. There is no assurance the Company can become involved with any business venture in the future.
Selection of a Business
The Company anticipates that businesses for possible acquisition will be referred by various sources, including its officers and directors, professional advisors, securities broker-dealers, venture capitalists, members of the financial community, and others who may present unsolicited proposals. The Company will not engage in any general solicitation or advertising for a business opportunity, and will rely on personal contacts of its officers and directors and their affiliates, as well as indirect associations between them and other business and professional people. By relying on "word of mouth", the Company may be limited in the number of potential acquisitions it can identify. While it is not presently anticipated that the Company will engage unaffiliated professional firms specializing in business acquisitions or reorganizations, such firms may be retained if management deems it in the best interest of the Company.
Compensation to a finder or business acquisition firm may take various forms, including one-time cash payments, payments based on a percentage of revenues or product sales volume, payments involving issuance of securities (including those of the Company), or any combination of these or other compensation arrangements. Consequently, the Company is currently unable to predict the cost of utilizing such services.
The Company will not restrict its search to any particular business, industry, or geographical location, and management reserves the right to evaluate and enter into any type of business in any location. The Company may participate in a newly organized business venture or a more established company entering a new phase of growth or in need of additional capital to overcome existing financial problems.
Participation in a new business venture entails greater risks since in many instances management of such a venture will not have proved its ability, the eventual market of such venture's product or services will likely not be established, and the profitability of the venture will be unproved and cannot be predicted accurately. If the Company participates in a more established firm with existing financial problems, it may be subjected to risk because the financial resources of the Company may not be adequate to eliminate or reverse the circumstances leading to such financial problems.
In seeking a business venture, the decision of management will not be controlled by an attempt to take advantage of any anticipated or perceived appeal of a specific industry, management group, product, or industry, but will be based on the business objective of seeking long-term capital appreciation in the real value of the Company.
The analysis of new businesses will be undertaken by or under the supervision of the officers and directors. In analyzing prospective businesses, management will consider, to the extent applicable, the available technical, financial, and managerial resources; working capital and other prospects for the future; the nature of present and expected competition; the quality and experience of management services which may be available and the depth of that management; the potential for further research, development, or exploration; the potential for growth and expansion; the potential for profit; the perceived public recognition or acceptance of products, services, or trade or service marks; name identification; and other relevant factors.
The decision to participate in a specific business may be based on management's analysis of the quality of the other firm's management and personnel, the anticipated acceptability of new products or marketing concepts, the merit of technological changes, and other factors which are difficult, if not impossible, to analyze through any objective criteria. It is anticipated that the results of operations of a specific firm may not necessarily be indicative of the potential for the future because of the requirement to substantially shift marketing approaches, expand significantly, change product emphasis, change or substantially augment management, and other factors.
The Company will analyze all available factors and make a determination based on a composite of available facts, without reliance on any single factor. The period within which the Company may participate in a business cannot be predicted and will depend on circumstances beyond the Company's control, including the availability of businesses, the time required for the Company to complete its investigation and analysis of prospective businesses, the time required to prepare appropriate documents and agreements providing for the Company's participation, and other circumstances.
Acquisition of a Business
In implementing a structure for a particular business acquisition, the Company may become a party to a merger, consolidation, or other reorganization with another corporation or entity; joint venture; license; purchase and sale of assets; or purchase and sale of stock, the exact nature of which cannot now be predicted. Notwithstanding the above, the Company does not intend to participate in a business through the purchase of minority stock positions. On the consummation of a transaction, it is likely that the present management and shareholders of the Company will not be in control of the Company. In addition, a majority or all of the Company's directors may, as part of the terms of the acquisition transaction, resign and be replaced by new directors without a vote of the Company's shareholders.
In connection with the Company's acquisition of a business, the present shareholders of the Company, including officers and directors, may, as a negotiated element of the acquisition, sell a portion or all of the Company's Common Stock held by them at a significant premium over their original investment in the Company. It is not unusual for affiliates of the entity participating in the reorganization to negotiate to purchase shares held by the present shareholders in order to reduce the number of "restricted securities" held by persons no longer affiliated with the Company and thereby reduce the potential adverse impact on the public market in the Company's Common Stock that could result from substantial sales of such shares after the restrictions no longer apply. As a result of such sales, affiliates of the entity participating in the business reorganization with the Company would acquire a higher percentage of equity ownership in the Company. Public investors will not receive any portion of the premium that may be paid in the foregoing circumstances. Furthermore, the Company's shareholders may not be afforded an opportunity to approve or consent to any particular stock buy-out transaction.
In the event sales of shares by present shareholders of the Company, including officers and directors, is a negotiated element of a future acquisition, a conflict of interest may arise because directors will be negotiating for the acquisition on behalf of the Company and for sale of their shares for their own respective accounts. Where a business opportunity is well suited for acquisition by the Company, but affiliates of the business opportunity impose a condition that management sell their shares at a price which is unacceptable to them, management may not sacrifice their financial interest for the Company to complete the transaction. Where the business opportunity is not well suited, but the price offered management for their shares is high, management will be tempted to effect the acquisition to realize a substantial gain on their shares in the Company. Management has not adopted any policy for resolving the foregoing potential conflicts, should they arise, and does not intend to obtain an independent appraisal to determine whether any price that may be offered for their shares is fair. Stockholders must rely, instead, on the obligation of management to fulfill its fiduciary duty under state law to act in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
It is anticipated that any securities issued in any such reorganization would be issued in reliance on exemptions from registration under applicable federal and state securities laws. In some circumstances, however, as a negotiated element of the transaction, the Company may agree to register such securities either at the time the transaction is consummated, under certain conditions, or at specified times thereafter. Although the terms of such registration rights and the number of securities, if any, which may be registered cannot be predicted, it may be expected that registration of securities by the Company in these circumstances would entail substantial expense to the Company. The issuance of substantial additional securities and their potential sale into any trading market that may develop in the Company's securities may have a depressive effect on such market.
While the actual terms of a transaction to which the Company may be a party cannot be predicted, it may be expected that the parties to the business transaction will find it desirable to structure the acquisition as a so-called "tax-free" event under sections 351 or 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, (the "Code"). In order to obtain tax-free treatment under section 351 of the Code, it would be necessary for the owners of the acquired business to own 80% or more of the voting stock of the surviving entity. In such event, the shareholders of the Company would retain less than 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity. Section 368(a)(1) of the Code provides for tax-free treatment of certain business reorganizations between corporate entities where one corporation is merged with or acquires the securities or assets of another corporation. Generally, the Company will be the acquiring corporation in such a business reorganization, and the tax-free status of the transaction will not depend on the issuance of any specific amount of the Company's voting securities. It is not uncommon, however, that as a negotiated element of a transaction completed in reliance on section 368, the acquiring corporation issue securities in such an amount that the shareholders of the acquired corporation will hold 50% or more of the voting stock of the surviving entity. Consequently, there is a substantial possibility that the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to the transaction would retain less than 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity.
Therefore, regardless of the form of the business acquisition, it may be anticipated that stockholders immediately prior to the transaction will experience a significant reduction in their percentage of ownership in the Company. Notwithstanding the fact that the Company is technically the acquiring entity in the foregoing circumstances, generally accepted accounting principles will ordinarily require that such transaction be accounted for as if the Company had been acquired by the other entity owning the business and, therefore, will not permit a write-up in the carrying value of the assets of the other company.
The manner in which the Company participates in a business will depend on the nature of the business, the respective needs and desires of the Company and other parties, the management of the business, and the relative negotiating strength of the Company and such other management.
The Company will participate in a business only after the negotiation and execution of appropriate written agreements. Although the terms of such agreements cannot be predicted, generally such agreements will require specific representations and warranties by all of the parties thereto, will specify certain events of default, will detail the terms of closing and the conditions which must be satisfied by each of the parties prior to such closing, will outline the manner of bearing costs if the transaction is not closed, will set forth remedies on default, and will include miscellaneous other terms.
Operation of Business After Acquisition
The Company's operation following its acquisition of a business will be dependent on the nature of the business and the interest acquired. The Company is unable to predict whether the Company will be in control of the business or whether present management will be in control of the Company following the acquisition. It may be expected that the business will present various risks, which cannot be predicted at the present time.
Governmental Regulation
It is impossible to predict the government regulation, if any, to which the Company may be subject until it has acquired an interest in a business. The use of assets and/or conduct of businesses that the Company may acquire could subject it to environmental, public health and safety, land use, trade, or other governmental regulations and state or local taxation. In selecting a business in which to acquire an interest, management will endeavor to ascertain, to the extent of the limited resources of the Company, the effects of such government regulation on the prospective business of the Company. In certain circumstances, however, such as the acquisition of an interest in a new or start-up business activity, it may not be possible to predict with any degree of accuracy the impact of government regulation. The inability to ascertain the effect of government regulation on a prospective business activity will make the acquisition of an interest in such business a higher risk.
Competition
The Company will be involved in intense competition with other business entities, many of which will have a competitive edge over the Company by virtue of their stronger financial resources and prior experience in business. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining suitable investments.
Employees
Adam Gatto is now the sole officer and director of the Corporation, serves as President, Secretary-Treasurer and devotes only such time to the affairs of the Company as he deems appropriate, which is estimated to be about five hours per week, but is not employed full-time and does not receive compensation.
Management of the Company expects to use consultants, attorneys, and accountants as necessary, and does not anticipate a need to engage any full-time employees so long as it is seeking and evaluating businesses. The need for employees and their availability will be addressed in connection with a decision whether or not to acquire or participate in a specific business industry.

Item 5.
Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.
(a) Market information.
In August, 2006, the Company's common stock was approved for quotation in the NASD's Bulletin Board system under the symbol "BSSA". Although quotations for the Company's common stock can appear on the OTC Bulletin Board, there is no established trading market for the common stock. Transactions in the common stock can only be described as sporadic. Consequently, the Company is of the opinion that any published prices cannot be attributed to a liquid and active trading market and, therefore, is not indicative of any meaningful market value. No high and low bid price quotations for any calendar quarter during the last two fiscal years were available. Any such quotations would reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not represent actual transactions.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, 2,400,000 shares of restricted common stock were sold by the issuer that were not registered under the Securities Act. On November 1, 2010 Barossa sold 2,400,000 shares of its common stock for $15,000 or $.00625 per share, bringing the current total number of outstanding shares to 4,734,100. These stock issuances were considered exempt from Securities Act registration requirements under section 4(2), as isolated nonpublic sales to accredited investors.
(b) During the period covered by this report (the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011), there were no securities that the issuer sold by registering the securities under the Securities Act.
(c) During the period covered by this report, there was no repurchase made of equity securities registered pursuant to section 12 of the Exchange Act. The issuer's securities are not registered pursuant to section 12 of the Exchange Act.

Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
Plan of Operation.
The Company does not expect to generate any meaningful revenue or incur operating expenses, except for administrative, legal, professional, accounting and auditing costs associated with the filing requirements of a public reporting company, unless and until it acquires an interest in an operating company. The Company may not have sufficient cash to meet its operational needs for the next twelve months. Management's plan of operation for the next twelve months is to attempt to raise additional capital through loans from related parties, debt financing, equity financing or a combination of financing options. Currently, there are no understandings, commitments or agreements for such an infusion of capital and no assurances to that effect. Unless the Company can obtain additional financing, its ability to continue as a going concern during the next twelve-month period is doubtful. The Company's need for capital may change dramatically if and during that period, it acquires an interest in a business opportunity.
The Company's current operating plan is to (i) handle the administrative and reporting requirements of a public company, and (ii) search for potential businesses, products, technologies and companies for acquisition. At present, the Company has no understandings, commitments or agreements with respect to the acquisition of any business venture, and there is no assurance when or that the Company will identify a business venture suitable for acquisition in the future. Further, there is no assurance the Company would be successful in consummating any acquisition on favorable terms or that it will be able to profitably manage any business venture it acquires.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has incurred losses since its inception, and has not yet been successful in establishing profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
In this regard, management is proposing to raise any necessary additional funds not provided by operations through loans and/or through additional sales of its common stock. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising this additional capital or in achieving profitable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Item 9A.
Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our President, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our President concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
Our management, with the participation of the President, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2011. In making this assessment, 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 this evaluation, our management, with the participation of the President, concluded that, as of June 30, 2011, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
An unavoidable weakness in the Company’s internal controls is that the principal executive officer and principal financial officer are the same individual, which does not allow for segregation of duties. Since the Company is a shell company, management does not feel that this has a material effect on the accuracy and completeness of our financial reporting and disclosure included in this annual report.
(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting, known to the chief executive officer or the chief financial officer that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Other Information.
There were no reports on Form 8-K filed during the last quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, nor any information required to be disclosed in a report on Form 8-K, but not reported, during the fourth quarter of the year covered by this Form 10-K.

BAROSSA COFFEE COMPANY, INC.
[A Development Stage Company]
CONTENTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors
Barossa Coffee Company, Inc.
Salt Lake City, Utah
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Barossa Coffee Company, Inc. [a development stage company] as of June 30, 2011 and 2010 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2011 and for the period from inception on March 24, 2005 through June 30, 2011. Barossa Coffee Company, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal 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, 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 Barossa Coffee Company, Inc. as of June 30, 2011 and 2010 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2011 and for the period from inception on March 24, 2005 through June 30, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming Barossa Coffee Company, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements, Barossa Coffee Company, Inc. has incurred losses since its inception and has not yet established profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 6. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-(Continued)
Recently Enacted Accounting Standards - In June 2009 the FASB established the Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification” or “ASC”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants. Existing GAAP was not intended to be changed as a result of the Codification, and accordingly the change did not impact our financial statements. The ASC does change the way the guidance is organized and presented.
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU No. 2009-05 (ASC Topic 820), which amends Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures - Overall, ASU No. 2009-13 (ASC Topic 605), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, ASU No. 2009-14 (ASC Topic 985), Certain Revenue Arrangements that include Software Elements, and various other ASU’s No. 2009-2 through ASU No. 2011-09 which contain technical corrections to existing guidance or affect guidance to specialized industries or entities were recently issued.

NOTE 3 - CAPITAL STOCK - CONTINUED
Common Stock - Continued
On November 1, 2010 the Company sold 2,400,000 shares of its restricted common stock at $.00625 per share of which $2,400 was credited to common stock and $12,600 was credited to capital in excess of par value.

On June 30, 2011 a shareholder of the Company contributed a loan payable with a balance due of $4,240 in principal and $1,531 in accrued interest for a total of $5,771 to capital in excess of par value of the Company.
NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic No. 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. ASC Topic No. 740 requires the Company to provide a net deferred tax asset/liability equal to the expected future tax benefit/expense of temporary reporting differences between book and tax accounting methods and any available operating loss or tax credit carryforwards. At June 30, 2011, the Company has available unused operating loss carryforwards of approximately $93,000 which may be applied against future taxable income and which expires in various years through 2031. All tax years starting with 2008 are open for examination.
The amount of and ultimate realization of the benefits from the operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes is dependent, in part, upon the tax laws in effect, the future earnings of the Company, and other future events, the effects of which cannot be determined. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the loss carryforwards, the Company has established a valuation allowance equal to the tax effect of the loss carryforwards and, therefore, no deferred tax asset has been recognized for the loss carryforwards. The net deferred tax assets are approximately $13,900 and $12,000 as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, with an offsetting valuation allowance of the same amount, resulting in a change in the valuation allowance of approximately $1,900 and $2,300 during the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Management Compensation - The Company has not paid any compensation to its officers and directors, as the services provided by them to date have only been nominal.
Loans Payable - The Company had a loan payable due to a shareholder which had an interest rate of 6% and a principal balance due of $4,240 and accrued interest of $1,531 which was contributed to the Company’s capital in excess of par value at June 30, 2011.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 6 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has incurred losses since inception and has not yet been successful at establishing profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. In this regard, management is proposing to raise any necessary additional funds not provided by operations through loans or through additional sales of its common stock. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising this additional capital or in achieving profitable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
NOTE 7 - LOSS PER SHARE
The following data show the amounts used in computing loss per share:
Dilutive loss per share was not presented, as the Company had no common equivalent shares for all periods presented that would affect the computation of diluted loss per share.
NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements were issued, and determined there are no events to disclose.
