Cautionary Factors That May Affect Future Results (Cautionary Statements Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995)
The disclosure and analysis set forth herein concerning Start Scientific, Inc. (hereafter, “we”, “our”, “us”, or the “Company”) contains certain forward looking statements, particularly statements relating to future actions, performance or results of current and anticipated products and services, sales efforts, expenditures, and financial results. From time to time, we also provide forward-looking statements in other publicly-released materials, both written and oral. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations or forecasts of future events such as new products or services, product approvals, revenues, and financial performance. These statements are identified as any statement that does not relate strictly to historical or current facts. We use words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “expects,” “will,” and other words and phrases of similar meaning. In all cases, a broad variety of assumptions can affect the realization of the expectations or forecasts in those statements. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Actual future results may vary materially.
We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, but investors are advised to consult any further disclosures by the Company on this subject in our subsequent filings pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Furthermore, as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we provide these cautionary statements identifying risk factors, listed below, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results. It is not possible to foresee or identify all such factors. Consequently, this list should not be considered an exhaustive statement of all potential risks, uncertainties and inaccurate assumptions.
Corporate Organization
The Company was formed in the State of Utah under the name of “Secure Networks, Inc.” on February 4, 2004, and was subsequently reincorporated in Delaware on February 14, 2007 under the name “Secure Netwerks, Inc.” At the time of its formation, the Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of SportsNuts, Inc., a Delaware corporation traded on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board that files reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. On March 1, 2007, the shares of the Company were spun-off to the shareholders of SportsNuts, Inc. As of April 9, 2012, we had 269 shareholders of record.
The Business of the Company
Overview
Prior to March 2012, we were a computer and technology hardware reseller to businesses and other organizations. Most of our clients were small and medium sized organizations, although we attempted to market our products and services to larger organizations. We also outsourced technology-related services to provide a full solution basket of technology products and services including hardware, software, network development and services. Our clients consisted of some retail purchasers and small to medium-sized organizations, operating mostly in North America, but we did have occasional clients in Europe. Due to our recent acquisition of oil and gas interests, our future business is expected to be based on the exploration, development, drilling, and production of various oil and gas properties. In particular, we intend to look for oil and gas opportunities in international markets. Whether in respect to the
development of oil and gas interests in North America or overseas, we expect to align with industry partners in respect of the drilling and operation of these wells. Our long-term focus is to grow and develop existing oil and gas leasehold interests and acquire new interests within and without the continental United States. In addition, we intend to acquire interests in older wells that, with the application of newer technologies, may increase production and reserves.
Market
Generally. The oil and gas industry is highly susceptible to extreme fluctuations in energy-related commodity prices, which in turn has a corresponding effect on the level of drilling and exploration activity and the costs associated therewith. Such volatility is also represented in the trends, however disparate, of supplies, demand, and price movements of crude oil and natural gas. Oil and gas industry revenues have grown in excess of 7% per annum, on average, since 2007 and are expected to increase moderately in 2012.
Crude Oil. In general, 2011 was a strong year for oil companies, with increasing crude prices and concomitantly higher revenues. Price appreciation was driven by geopolitical turmoil, supply shocks such as the Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and reduced output from natural production declines in existing oil fields. While U.S. domestic oil consumption has decreased, international demand has remained relatively strong and, combined with rising tensions in the Middle East affecting perceptions of regional supply disruptions, prices are not expected to materially decrease for the remainder of 2012.
Natural Gas. Unlike crude oil, the natural gas market has suffered from a glut of excess production and protracted price declines. Technological advancements have enabled progressively fewer producers to employ horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing methods at significantly lower costs than previous techniques, and yet production yields per well have increased dramatically. In addition, these increased yields have resulted in greater quantities of higher value natural gas byproducts, particularly in respect to liquid hydrocarbons extracted from shale formations (ethane, propane, and butane, among others). Consequently, assessments of the economic feasibility of gas wells have increasingly relied on the presence of these byproducts to achieve desired returns on drilling and exploration costs. Even in these wells, however, natural gas remains the dominant element and an overabundance of supplies has resulted in a 10-year low in the spot price of natural gas as of the end of March 2012, and the outlook for the remainder of the year does not suggest that any significant price appreciation is imminent. Increased government regulation and requirements associated with natural gas development (specifically hydraulic fracturing) remains a constant concern affecting pricing and industry forecasts.
Regulation
Federal and state regulations control various aspects of drilling and operating oil and gas wells, including care of the environment, the safety of workers and the public, and the relations with the owners and occupiers of surface lands within or near the leasehold acreage. The effect of these regulations is, invariably, to increase the cost of operations. The costs of compliance with state regulations include a permit for drilling a well before beginning a project. Other compliance matters have to do with keeping the property free of oil spills and the plugging of non-productive wells.
Oil and gas exploration, drilling, and production activities are also subject to private property rights. Owners of real property also own the rights to the minerals underneath the surface, unless such mineral rights have been retained, sold or transferred by a previous landowner. Oil and gas rights held by
the United States government are managed by the Bureau of Land Management in conjunction with the U.S. Forest Service pursuant to a variety of federal statutes.
Environmental impacts of oil and gas production include produced water and drilling waste. Wastes that cannot be reused or recycled must be stored or disposed of in some manner, increasing the land area affected by oil and gas extraction and raising concerns over potential leaking of drilling fluids and other wastes from storage sites. Some petroleum industry operations have been responsible for water pollution through by-products of refining and oil spills. The combustion of fossil fuels produces greenhouse gases and other air pollutants as byproducts. Pollutants include nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide, volatile organic compounds and heavy metals.
Employees
As of December 31, 2011, we had 1 employee and 1 part-time contractor, although we intend to hire additional personnel to pursue our new business as an oil and gas exploration and development company. Although national unemployment rates remain high relative to historical averages, there exists a significant amount of competition for skilled personnel in the oil and gas services industry. Nevertheless, we expect to be able to attract and retain such additional employees as are necessary, commensurate with the anticipated future expansion of our business. Further, we expect to continue to use consultants, contract labor, attorneys and accountants as necessary.

On February 29, 2012, in exchange for $100,000, the Company issued 200,000 shares of restricted common stock and a promissory note in the original principal amount of $100,000 (“Note”) to an investor. The Note matures on August 27, 2012 and carries a fixed interest payment at maturity of $25,000.
Exemption From Registration Claimed
All of the sales by the Company of its unregistered securities were made by the Company in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). All of the individuals and/or entities listed above that purchased the unregistered securities were all known to the Company and its management, through pre-existing business relationships. All purchasers were provided access to all material information, which they requested, and all information necessary to verify such information and were afforded access to management of the Company in connection with their purchases. All purchasers of the unregistered securities acquired such securities for investment and not with a view toward distribution, acknowledging such intent to the Company. All certificates or agreements representing such securities that were issued contained restrictive legends, prohibiting further transfer of the certificates or agreements representing such securities, without such securities either being first registered or otherwise exempt from registration in any further resale or disposition.
Penny Stock Rules
Due to the price of our common stock, as well as the fact that we are not listed on a national securities exchange, our stock is characterized as “penny stocks” under applicable securities regulations. Our stock will therefore be subject to rules adopted by the SEC regulating broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer proposing to effect a transaction in a penny stock must furnish his customer a document containing information prescribed by the SEC and obtain from the customer an executed acknowledgment of receipt of that document. The broker or dealer must also provide the customer with pricing information regarding the security prior to the transaction and with the written confirmation of the transaction. The broker or dealer must also disclose the aggregate amount of any compensation received or receivable by him in connection with such transaction prior to consummating the transaction and with the written confirmation of the trade. The broker or dealer must also send an account statement to each customer for which he has executed a transaction in a penny stock each month in which such security is held for the customer's account. The existence of these rules may have an effect on the price of our stock, and the willingness of certain brokers to effect transactions in our stock.
Dividend Policy
We have never declared or paid dividends on our common stock. Payment of future dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors after taking into account various factors, including the terms of any credit arrangements, our financial condition, operating results, current and anticipated cash needs and plans for expansion. At the present time, we are not party to any agreement that would limit our ability to pay dividends.

Overview
Prior to March 2012, we were a reseller of technology-related hardware and software, including laptops, desktops, networking devices, telecommunication systems and networks, servers and software. In March, 2012, our principal business became the exploration, development, and production of oil and gas interests.
Results of Operations
Following is our discussion of the relevant items affecting results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.
Revenues. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, our products and services were broken down into two categories for revenue recognition purposes - (i) off-the-shelf hardware/software product sales, and (ii) outsourced information technology services. Our revenue recognition policy for these categories was as follows:
Revenue was recognized upon completion of services or delivery of goods where the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Advance customer payments were recorded as deferred revenue until such time as they are recognized.
Product sales were derived from the resale of off-the-shelf hardware and software packages.
Product sales were not warranted by the Company but may have been subject only to warranties that may be provided by the product manufacturer. Therefore, product warranties had no effect on the financial statements. The Company had no sales arrangements encompassing multiple deliverables.
Future revenues are anticipated to be royalties and income generated in connection with oil and gas production and sale of those hydrocarbons to marketing companies pursuant to contract terms.
The Company generated net revenues of $30,096 for the year ended December 31, 2011, representing a 60% decrease compared to $74,782 in net revenues during the year ended December 31, 2010. During 2011, we received $28,296 in gross revenues from software and hardware product resales and equipment leasing, and $1,800 in gross revenues from information technology and other miscellaneous services. The decrease in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2011 is mainly the result of decreased operational and sales activity during the year.
Cost of Sales. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, expenses which comprised cost of sales were the wholesale cost of hardware, software, any accompanying licenses, product sales commissions, and commissions paid in connection with information technology consulting contracts. Also included in cost of sales were personnel and materials costs to administer these information technology services. In the future, cost of goods sold will include those lease operating expenses incurred in connection with the production of oil and gas from leasehold properties in which the Company holds an interest.
Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $27,683, a 55% decrease from $61,640 during the year ended December 31, 2010. The decrease is mainly the result of decreased sales and the related need to purchase products. Total cost of sales was 92% and 82% of revenues in 2011 and 2010, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2011, obsolete inventory was written off in the amount of $3,497 which is included in Cost of sales-product on the statement of operations.
Salaries and Consulting Expenses. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, salaries and consulting expenses consisted of salaries and benefits, Company paid payroll taxes and outside consulting expenses. Salaries and consulting expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $2,298 compared to $2,756 during the year ended December 31, 2010. The decrease is mainly the result of decreased sales, and the corresponding commissions, as the Company continued to push commission incentives rather than base salaries. We expect that salaries and consulting expenses will increase commensurate with the expansion of the Company’s business as an oil and gas exploration, development, and production firm.
Professional Fees. Professional fees for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $28,217, representing a 17% increase compared to $24,182 during the year ended December 31, 2010. The change of our business to an oil and gas exploration, development, and production company will likely result in an increase in professional fees.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, selling, general and administrative expenses were comprised of advertising; bad debts; occupancy and office expenses; equipment leases; travel and other miscellaneous administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $5,084, a 80% decrease from $24,733 during the year ended December 31, 2010. The decrease is mainly the result of fewer accounts receivable write offs during 2011. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, bad debts expense was $-0- and $6,717, respectively. We expected that selling, general, and administrative expenses will increase sharply in 2012 and beyond in connection with a change of the Company’s business.
Other Income (Expense). We incurred net other expense of $36,024 for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to net other expense of $35,243during the year ended December 31, 2010. Other expenses incurred during 2011 and 2010 were comprised primarily of interest expenses related to credit cards as well as promissory notes issued by the Company. Other income in this category is comprised of finance charge income billed to late paying customers.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Personnel
We presently have one employee and other project-based contract personnel that we utilize to carry out our business. We utilize contract personnel on a continuous basis, primarily in connection with our reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We expect to hire more full-time employees in the future. Although competition for personnel in the oil and gas industry is intense, we don’t believe we will have significant difficulty retaining additional employees or contract personnel in the future.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception, the Company has financed its operations through a series of loans, credit accounts with hardware vendors, and the use of Company credit to procure goods and services. As of December 31, 2011, our primary source of liquidity consisted of $721 in cash and cash equivalents. We expect to secure additional debt or equity capital to finance substantial business development initiatives or acquire additional oil and gas interests.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Start Scientific, Inc. (formerly Secure Netwerks, Inc.)
San Antonio, TX
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Start Scientific, Inc. (formerly Secure Netwerks, Inc.) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our 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 Start Scientific, Inc. (formerly Secure Netwerks, Inc.) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 8 to the financial statements the Company has negative working capital, negative cash flows from operations, and recurring operating losses which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan regarding these matters is also described in Note 8 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2011 and 2010
NOTE 1	ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Start Scientific, Inc. (the Company) was formed in the state of Utah on February 4, 2004, with authorized common stock of 10,000,000 shares. The Company was subsequently reincorporated in the State of Delaware on February 14, 2006 with authorized common stock of 100,000,000 shares and authorized preferred stock of 100 shares. Both classes of stock have a par value of $0.001 per share.
The Company was created as a wholly owned subsidiary of SportsNuts, Inc. to be a computer and technology hardware and software reseller. In addition to supplying the computer hardware needs of SportsNuts, the Company provided its hardware sales and services to organizations in a variety of industries.
Effective March 1, 2007, the Company was spun off from SportsNuts, Inc. and each shareholder of SportsNuts received stock in the Company on a pro rata basis.
NOTE 2	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. The following policies are considered to be significant:
a.	Accounting Method
The Company recognizes income and expenses based on the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a calendar year-end.
b.	Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are generally comprised of certain highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than three months.
c.	Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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.
d.	Basic and Fully Diluted Net Loss per Share of Common Stock
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards No. ASC 260, “Earnings per Share,” basic net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares

NOTE 2	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
d.	Basic and Fully Diluted Net Loss per Share of Common Stock (Continued)
outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares plus dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. There are no common stock equivalents as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.
e.Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company generally offers 15-day credit terms on sales to its customers and requires no collateral. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts which is determined based on a number of factors, including each customer’s financial condition, general economic trends and management judgment. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $14,203 and $14,290, respectively. Bad debt expense was $-0- and $6,717 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
f.Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market value. When there is evidence that the inventories value is less than original cost, the inventory is reduced to market value. Inventories consist of computer hardware of -0- and $3,497 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
g.Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. When assets are disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation (net book value of the assets) are eliminated and any resultant gain or loss reflected accordingly. Betterments and improvements are capitalized over their estimated useful lives whereas repairs and maintenance expenditures on the assets are charged to expense as incurred.
h.	Revenue Recognition
Products and services provided by the Company are broken down into two main categories for revenue recognition purposes, they are: off-the-shelf hardware/software sales and technology related services. The revenue recognition policy for these categories is as follows:

(formerly Secure Netwerks, Inc.)
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2011 and 2010
NOTE 2	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
h.	Revenue Recognition (Continued)
Revenue is recognized upon completion of services or delivery of goods where the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Advance customer payments are recorded as deferred revenue until such time as they are recognized. The
Company does not offer any cash rebates. Returns or discounts, if any, are netted against gross revenues. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, sales are recorded net of the allowance for returns and discounts of $-0-. Product sales were solely derived from the resale of off-the-shelf hardware and software packages. Product sales are not warranted by the Company and may be subject only to warranties that may be provided by the product manufacturer.
i.Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed accounting pronouncements issued during the past two years and have adopted any that are applicable to the Company. We have determined that none had a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.
j.	Income Taxes
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued FASB ASC 740-10 (Prior authoritative literature: Financial Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48)). FASB ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with prior literature FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This standard requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more-likely-than- not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements. As a result of the implementation of this standard, the Company performed a review of its material tax positions in accordance with recognition and measurement standards established by FASB ASC 740-10.
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
At December 31, 2011, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $510,000 which may be offset against future taxable income through 2031. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements because the potential tax benefits of the net operating loss carryforwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

(formerly Secure Netwerks, Inc.)
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2011 and 2010
NOTE 2	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
j.	Income Taxes (Continued)
Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating losscarryforwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to future use.
Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of December 31, 2011 and 2010:
The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal and state income tax rates of 34% to pretax income from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 due to the following:
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
At December 31, 2011, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.
START SCIENTIFIC, INC.
(formerly Secure Netwerks, Inc.)
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2011 and 2010
NOTE 2	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The Company did not have any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months.
The Company includes interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations in the provision for income taxes. As of September 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
The tax years that remain subject to examination by major taxing jurisdictions are those for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.
k.Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risks consist of cash and cash equivalents.

NOTE 6	EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
500,000 common shares of Secure Networks, Inc. (Utah) were issued to the incorporator upon incorporation which included the assumption of $25,196 in liabilities resulting in an additional paid-in capital deficit of $25,696 upon issuance.
500,000 common shares of Secure Netwerks, Inc. (Delaware) were issued on the basis of 1-for-1 for all of the outstanding shares of Secure Networks, Inc. (Utah) as part of the Company’s reincorporation into the State of Delaware. All references to shares issued and outstanding in the financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect the effects of this change in capital structure.
On February 14, 2006, the Board of Directors approved the Company’s amended and restated Articles of Incorporation (Amendment). The Amendment increases the authorized shares of common stock from 10,000,000 to 100,000,000 shares. The Amendment also provides for a new class of preferred stock with 10,000,000 shares authorized.

NOTE 7	FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10-50, “Fair Value Measurements.” This guidance defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for the cash and cash equivalents, receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest.
NOTE 8	GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a working capital deficit, negative cash flows from operations and has sustained net losses from inception which have resulted in an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2011 of approximately $511,000 and has experienced periodic cash flow difficulties, all of which raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
To date the Company has funded its operations through a combination of loans. The Company anticipates another net loss for the year ended December 31, 2012 and with the expected cash requirements for the coming year, there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue operations.
The Company believes these conditions have resulted from the inherent risks associated with small startup technology-oriented companies. Such risks include, but are not limited to, the ability to (i) generate revenues and sales of its products and services at levels sufficient to cover its costs and provide a return for investors, (ii) attract additional capital in order to finance growth, (iii) further develop and successfully market commercial products and services, and (iv) successfully compete with other comparable companies having financial, production and marketing resources significantly greater than those of the Company.
The Company is attempting to improve these conditions by way of financial assistance through issuances of additional equity and by generating revenues through sales of products and services.

NOTE 9	COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES
The Company had a month to month lease agreement which was terminated on December 31, 2010. Rent expense was $-0- and $10,800, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.
NOTE 11	CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Major Customers
The Company had 2 and 4 customers, respectively, who represented 10% or more of total sales for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.
As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, Company had $428 and $6,000, respectively, in accounts receivable due from these customers. The loss of these customers, although not anticipated, could have a material impact on the Company’s present and future operations.
Major Suppliers
The Company had 2 vendors who represented 10% or more of the total purchases for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.
The loss of these vendors could have a temporary impact on operations; however, alternate suppliers are readily available that the Company feels could quickly fill the void, should it ever need to.
NOTE 12	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On February 20, 2012, Kenneth I. Denos resigned as a member of the Board of Directors. Mr. Denos was appointed as a Director of the Company in March 2003.
On February 29, 2012, in exchange for $100,000, the Company issued 200,000 shares of restricted common stock and a promissory note in the original principal amount of

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of December 31, 2011, the end of our fiscal year covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer who is also our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Our board of directors has only two members. We do not have a formal audit committee.
Management’s 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 Securities Exchange Act, as amended). In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of control procedures. The objectives of internal control include providing management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 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. Our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2011, our internal control over financial reporting is effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Inherent limitations on effectiveness of controls
Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations which include but is not limited to the use of independent professionals for advice and guidance, interpretation of existing and/or changing rules and principles, segregation of management duties, scale of organization, and personnel factors. Internal control over financial reporting is a process which involves human diligence and compliance and
is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis, however these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2011 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Board of Directors Meetings and Committees

(1) The address of each officer, director, and beneficial owner is c/o the Company, 6 Champion Trail, San Antonio, TX 78006.
(2) The number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by any shareholder is determined by the sum of (i) all shares of common stock held directly or indirectly by such shareholder, and (ii) shares of common stock subject to options, warrants and/or conversion rights deemed beneficially owned by the shareholder that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days. Excludes shares of Series A Preferred Stock beneficially held by Kenneth Denos that are not convertible into common stock but collectively hold 1,000,000,000 voting rights and are entitled to vote together with holders of common stock on all such matters upon which common stockholders may vote.
(3) The calculation of percentage of beneficial ownership is based upon: (i) 11,900,000 shares of common stock outstanding as of April 9, 2012, and (ii) shares of common stock subject to options, warrants and/or conversion rights deemed beneficially held by the shareholder that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days. The percentage ownership of any shareholder is determined by assuming that the shareholder has exercised all options, warrants, and conversion rights to obtain additional securities, and that no other shareholder has exercised such rights. Except as otherwise indicated below, the persons and entity named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock and voting rights shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws.

The Series A Preferred Stock carries no dividend, distribution, or liquidation, or common stock conversion rights, but holds 10,000,000 votes per share, enabling Mr. Denos to unilaterally control the election of the Board of Directors. If the Series A Preferred Stock is taken into account in determining percentage of beneficial ownership, Mr. Denos would beneficially hold 99.81% of the voting shares of the Company.
Changes in Control
On July 6, 2011, in exchange for the forgiveness of $25,000 in amounts owed, the Company issued 100 shares of Series “A” Preferred Stock to Acadia Group, Inc., a corporation owned and controlled by Kenneth Denos, then a member of the Board of Directors of the Company. The Series A Preferred Stock carries no dividend, distribution, liquidation, or rights of conversion into common stock, but holds 10,000,000 votes per share, enabling Mr. Denos to unilaterally control the election of the Board of Directors.

ITEM 13.
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
On July 6, 2011, in exchange for the forgiveness of $25,000 in amounts owed, the Company issued 100 shares of Series “A” Preferred Stock to Kenneth I. Denos, P.C., a corporation owned and controlled by Kenneth Denos, then a member of the Board of Directors of the Company.

·Kenneth Denos ($25,000), a former member of the Board of Directors; and
·Travis Pera ($23,750), son of Walter Pera, Chairman of the Board of Directors.
The notes each mature upon demand, are unsecured, and bear interest at the rate of ten percent per annum.
Director Independence
Our Chairman, Walter Pera, is considered to be independent, inasmuch as he does not beneficially hold greater than a 10% ownership interest in our common stock and is unrelated to any of our shareholders who hold any such interest. We have not established any board committees. We hope in the future to add at least one independent director and establish one or more board committees including, in particular, an audit committee.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
Change in Auditors	
On or about March 31, 2011, our previous independent accountant, Chisholm, Bierwolf, Nilson & Morrill, LLP (“CBNM”) was dismissed due to the fact that CBNM informed the Company of the pending revocations of CBNM’s registration with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. Also on March 31, 2011, the Company engaged Morrill & Associates, LLC as our independent accountants.
During the period from the engagement of the former auditors through the change of auditors, including the registrant’s most recent fiscal year and the subsequent interim period, there were no disagreements with the former auditors, whether or not resolved, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statements disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the former auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its report.
The reports of CBNM did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
Fees Billed For Audit and Non-Audit Services
