PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
A) General
Montavo, Inc. (the Registrant or the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 20, 1994. From incorporation until December 13, 2004 the Registrant had no operating history other than organizational matters. On December 13, 2004 the Registrant acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Trans Media Inc., a Wyoming corporation engaged in the production and distribution of musical compact discs and musical performances. Through Trans Media, the Registrant engaged in the production and distribution of compact discs and musical performances targeted to the South Asian immigrant population in North America, and to date completed the production of eight compact discs.
In November 2007 the Registrant engaged in a new line of business, in the mobile communications industry, with the objective of becoming a mobile enabler and identifying, deploying and commercializing innovative mobile applications and technologies to offer targeted brand messaging. On November 6, 2007 Mr. Craig Moody was engaged to serve as the Registrant’s chief executive officer. Mr. Moody is a former managing partner of Andrew & Associates International, a strategic and financial consultancy that provides services to media, entertainment and technology companies in Europe and the United States. On May 7, 2008 the Registrant executed the Agreement with the consultancy, a developer of a mobile, location based services marketing application, and on May 8, 2008 Mr. Brook Lang, the chief executive officer of the Company, was appointed to serve as the Registrant’s chief executive officer following Mr. Moody’s resignation.
The Company has developed technology that allows wireless subscribers to search a proprietary advertisement delivery system by category of service and location. The content is delivered to subscribers via mobile handsets, personal navigation devices or navigation devices installed in vehicles. Subscribers can download and view advertisements, redeem special incentives and obtain turn-by-turn directions to the nearest retail location.
The Company expects that its core revenues will be derived from advertisers, who will be charged impression views and or monthly fees for inclusion in the Company permission based database, from impressions, click-through, and redemption fees for the redemption of incentives, or from fees for the development of national campaigns for brand advertisers. The Company plans to seek distribution agreements with advertisement campaign aggregators, including global advertising agencies, search-engine marketing optimization agencies, membership organizations and direct marketing organizations. The Company also intends to employ a small team of account executives that will act as a sales force and seek and solicit clients among national and regional brand leaders.
There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve its objectives or succeed in its business plan. As of the date of this report, the Company believes that it will not be able to fund its operations, working capital requirements, and debt service requirements through fiscal year 2009 through cash flows generated by operations. In order to continue with operations, we will need to raise additional funds through a sale of equity securities, incurring debt or a combination of both. The Company has incurred net losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit as of December 31, 2008. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s office is located at 4957 Lakemont Blvd, Suite 239, Bellevue, Washington 98006.
As of December 31, 2008, the Company had no employees but was utilizing the services of independent contractors and consultants.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Not applicable.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.
None.
Item 2. Properties.
The Company has offices at 4957 Lakemont Blvd., Suite #239, Bellevue, WA 98006 and has an engineering facility including a meeting room and server room. This space is provided at no cost by the chief development officer.
Item 3 Legal Proceedings.
There are no pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or in which any director, officer or affiliate of the Company, any owner of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of voting securities of the Company, or security holder is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company. The Company’s property is not the subject of any pending legal proceedings.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
On August 25, 2008, the Registrant held a special meeting of shareholders pursuant to a proxy statement that it filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and had furnished to holders of record of the outstanding shares of its common stock as of June 27, 2008. At the meeting, a proposal to amend the Certificate of Incorporation for the purpose of changing the name to Montavo, Inc.; a proposal to increase the number of authorized common stock from 20,000,000 to 100,000,000; and a proposal to increase the number of authorized preferred stock from 1,000,000 to 5,000,000, were approved.

Dividends
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock nor do we anticipate paying any in the foreseeable future. Furthermore, we expect to retain any future earnings to finance our operations and expansion. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our earnings levels, capital requirements, any restrictive loan covenants and other factors the Board considers relevant.
Equity Compensation Plans
In 2005 Montavo adopted the 2005 Stock Option Plan (“the Plan”). The Plan provides for the granting of stock options to employees and consultants for services rendered to the Company. Options granted under the Plan may be either incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options. Incentive stock options (“ISO”) may be granted only to Company employees (including officers and directors who are also employees). Nonqualified stock options (“NSO”) may be granted to employees and consultants. Montavo reserved 1,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan. Please see Note 9 to the Company’s audited financial statements found elsewhere in this Report for additional information.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities; Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities
On August 28, 2008, the Company and Mel Venkateswaran, a former officer and director, executed an asset sale and assignment agreement (the “Agreement”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company purchased certain music and song rights, entitlements and related property rights (the “Acquired Assets”) from Mr. Venkateswaran and, as consideration, delivered a convertible promissory note dated August 28, 2008 (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $50,000. The Note bears interest at the rate of 5% per annum and matures on the earlier of (i) August 27, 2009 or (ii) the date on which Mr. Venkateswaran informs the Company that the Note is due and payable. The principal amount of the Note and accrued and unpaid interest may be converted, at Mr. Venkateswaran’s option, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to $0.50 per share. The Note was issued without registration pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance on Section 4(2) thereof, as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. Mr. Venkateswaran agreed that the shares issuable upon conversion of the Note would be subject to the standard restrictions applicable to a private placement of securities under applicable state and federal securities laws, and an appropriate legend was affixed to the Note certificate issued to Mr. Venkateswaran. Mr. Venkateswaran received adequate information about the Registrant or had access, through his relationship with the Registrant, to such information. The asset was recorded at zero value due to impairment. The note was converted on November 15, 2008, for 100,000 shares and the accrued interest of $628 was forgiven.
Purchases of equity securities by the issuer and affiliated purchasers
We have not repurchased any shares of our common stock during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking information. Forward-looking information includes statements relating to future actions, future performance, costs and expenses, interest rates, outcome of contingencies, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, business strategies, cost savings, objectives of management, and other such matters. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor" for forward-looking information to encourage companies to provide prospective information about themselves without fear of litigation, so long as that information is identified as forward-looking and is accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the information. Forward-looking information may be included in this Current Report or may be incorporated by reference from other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You can find many of these statements by looking for words including, for example, "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates" or similar expressions in this Current Report or in documents incorporated by reference in this Current Report. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or future events.
The forward-looking statements relating to the Company’s operations are based on management's current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company and the industry in which it operates. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that we cannot predict. In particular, we have based many of these forward-looking statements on assumptions about future events that may prove to be inaccurate. Accordingly, the Company’s actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements. Any differences could result from a variety of factors, including, but not limited to the following:
o The Company's ability to successfully develop, market, and price its products and services;
o The Company's ability to hire and maintain the personnel necessary to run its operations;
o The level of consumer and advertiser spending for the Company's products and services;
o The success of the Company’s marketing and promotion programs in obtaining market acceptance for its products and services; and
o Market conditions affecting the prices of the Company's products and services.
Overview
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 20, 1994. From our incorporation and until December 13, 2004, we had no operating history other than organizational matters. On December 13, 2004, we acquired Trans Media Inc. ("Trans Media"), a Wyoming corporation, by acquiring all of its issued and outstanding shares from its shareholders pursuant to a Plan of Arrangement and Share Exchange Agreement, dated September 29, 2004, among our Company, Trans Media, and all the shareholders of Trans Media. Pursuant to such agreement, the shareholders of Trans Media exchanged all of their 10,720,000 shares of common stock of Trans Media for 10,720,000 shares of the Company's common stock, which represented 84.28% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock on a fully diluted basis. As a result of such share exchange, Trans Media became the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Such transaction was treated as a reverse merger of Trans Media, and Trans Media is the continuing entity for financial reporting purposes.
Trans Media was incorporated in the province of British Columbia on July 23, 2001 as 631411 B.C., LTD, and renamed Transworld Media, Inc. on October 28, 2002. It was reincorporated in Wyoming and renamed Trans Media, Inc. on November 18, 2004. Since October 2002, Trans Media has been engaged in the production and distribution of musical CD's and musical performances targeted to the South Asian immigrants residing in North America.
New Line of Business - Plan of Operation
The Company decided to pursue a new, additional line of business in the mobile communications industry. While the Company intends to retain its current business plan and operations in the sale of musical CDs and offering musical performances, the Company also intends to become a mobile enabler, by developing innovative applications and technologies that provide access to a permission-based mobile database which the Company is developing.
In furtherance of its efforts to enter the mobile communications industry, on May 7, 2008, the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary North Coast Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Acquisition Corp.”), and Montavo, Inc., a privately-held Washington corporation (“Montavo”), executed an Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on August 28, 2008, Acquisition Corp. was merged with and into Montavo, with Montavo being the surviving entity as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant, and all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Montavo was exchanged for newly-issued, restricted shares of common stock of the Company. 11,700,000 shares of common stock of North Coast Acquisition Corp. were issued to the shareholders of Montavo at the closing of the merger. In the event that North Coast did not consummate a merger or business combination with any other company within 90 days of the closing of the merger, the stockholders of Montavo were entitled to receive additional shares of the Company’s common stock, in excess of the 11,700,000 shares issued at closing. No such merger of business combination occurred. Accordingly, 10,089,512 additional common shares (“Additional Shares”) were to be issued to the stockholders of Montavo on or after November 28, 2008. As a result, the stockholders of Montavo would own, in the aggregate, sixty percent (60%) of the issued and outstanding share of common stock of the Company, on a fully diluted basis. The Additional Shares have been issued as of the date of this report. The merger was accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization due to Montavo having control of the board of directors and control of management at the date of merger. Subsequent to the merger, the Company changed its name to Montavo, Inc.
Montavo, as a Washington corporation was formed on December 23, 2004, and has developed a mobile Location Based Services (LBS) marketing solution for wireless carriers, mobile handsets manufacturers, wireless carrier/device software aggregators, personal navigation device (PND’s) manufacturers, and vehicle manufacturers. Montavo has a patent pending filed for its “method and distribution system for location based wireless presentation of electronic coupons” technology. Montavo has a second patent pending filed for its “system and method of confirming sales revenue and profit in a physical store from mobile advertisements”.
The following discussion of the financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008, and 2007 should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company and related notes included therein.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On December 31, 2008 we had $2,406 in cash, as compared to $112 in cash on December 31, 2007. Total assets on December 31, 2008 amounted to $359,509 as compared to total assets of $138,078 on December 31, 2007. The increase in total assets resulted primarily from investments in our software development, from $110,588 on December 31, 2007 to $320,140 on December 31, 2008. As of December 31, 2008, Montavo had negative working capital of $415,878.
Current liabilities decreased from $703,369 on December 31, 2007 to $418,284 on December 31, 2008. The drop in current liabilities resulted primarily as a result of the conversion, on August 29, 2008, of accounts payable, bridge notes and related interest in the aggregate amount of $864,288 into 1,670,600 shares of our common stock in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. These decreases were offset by an increase in accounts payable, from $64,422 on December 31, 2007 to $133,209 on December 31, 2008.
Additional paid in capital increased from $197,177 on December 31, 2007 to $1,516,364 on December 31, 2008, as a result of stock issued for cash, services, debt conversions and stock option and warrant expense.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We had no revenues in the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. In the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 we incurred net losses of $843,071 and $227,096. From December 23, 2004 (inception) to December 31, 2008 we incurred a net loss of $1,611,613.

Other operating expenses | 46,148 | 33,094 | 22,498 |
| $822,925 | $194,463 | $628,462 |
Interest expense decreased by $12,487, from $32,633 in the year ended December 31, 2007 to $20,146 in the year ended December 31, 2008, primarily as a result of the conversion of debt into common stock on August 29, 2008 in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
Basic and diluted net loss per share increased to $0.06 for the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared to $.03 for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Item 8. Financial Statements.
Financial statements are audited and included herein beginning immediately following the signature page of this Form 10K.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
There were no disagreements with accountants on accounting and financial disclosure during the relevant period.
Item 9a. Controls & Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act") is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective because of the identification of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting which is identified below, which we view as an integral part of our disclosure controls and procedures.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
We have not yet made any changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report on Form 10-K that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
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 such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based on its evaluation, our management concluded that there is a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The material weakness relates to the lack of segregation of duties in financial reporting, as our financial reporting and all accounting functions are performed by an external consultant with no oversight by a professional with accounting expertise. Our President does not possess accounting expertise and our company does not have an audit committee. This weakness is due to the company’s lack of working capital to hire additional staff. To remedy this material weakness, we intend to engage another accountant to assist with financial reporting as soon as our finances will allow.
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 the attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
The Company’s management carried out an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. The Company’s management based its evaluation on criteria set forth in the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that assessment, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2008

In addition, Montavo recorded software development costs totaling $165,469 and $66,871 to a shareholder for software development services for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. At December 31, 2008 there have been no payments on these fees. The amounts are secured by all of the assets of Montavo. The amounts are convertible into common stock of Montavo if Montavo sells $250,000 or more of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in an equity financing. If triggered, the amounts owed would be converted at the same price per share as the equity financing. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, $165,469 and $110,588 of these fees are unpaid.
In 2007, shareholders made interest bearing loans to Montavo totaling $107,500. The loans were secured by all of Montavo’s assets. Interest expense on these loans was calculated at 6%, and $4,727 was charged to interest expense in 2007. Montavo repaid the loans in full in 2007.
In the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, a shareholder made non-interest bearing advances that are payable on demand to Montavo totaling $455 and $4,500, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, Montavo owed this shareholder $17,536 in advances. The $4,500 was repaid prior to December 31, 2008. Interest expense on these loans has been imputed at 6%, and $1,147 and $856 was charged to interest expense and credited to additional paid in capital for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively.
In the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, a shareholder made interest bearing, unsecured loans to Montavo totaling $6,000 and $14,000, respectively and had remained outstanding as of December 31, 2007 and 2008. Interest expense on these loans was calculated at 6%, and $1,200 and $600 was charged to interest expense in the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively. These loans and the related accrued interest were converted into common stock of Montavo at $.50 per share at September 2008.
At December 31, 2008 and 2007, shareholder advances totaled $17,491 and $37,510 respectively.
A shareholder advanced an additional $25,000 to Montavo in September 2008. These funds are related to a convertible promissory note with a stated interest rate of 12%. The note is convertible at the option of the holder at $.50/share. Interest expense of $378 was accrued as of December 31, 2008, relating to this loan. Montavo analyzed the convertible note for derivative accounting consideration under SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19. Montavo determined the embedded conversion option in the convertible note met the criteria for classification in stockholders equity under SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19. Therefore, derivative accounting was not applicable.
At December 31, 2008 and 2007, convertible debt totaled $25,000 and $0, respectively.
The Company has offices at 4957 Lakemont Blvd., Suite #239, Bellevue, WA 98006 and has an engineering facility, including a meeting room and server room. This space is provided at no cost by the chief development officer.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Montavo, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Bellevue, Washington
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Montavo, Inc. (Montavo) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of expenses, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ deficit for the years then ended and the period from December 23, 2004 (inception) through December 31, 2008. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of Montavo’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. Montavo 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 Montavo’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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Montavo, Inc., as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods then ended and the period from December 23, 2004 (inception) through December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Montavo will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, Montavo has suffered recurring losses from operations which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

MONTAVO, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Nature of Business Activity
Montavo, Inc. (The Company or Montavo) is a Washington corporation formed on December 23, 2004 and is developing a mobile Location Based Services marketing solution for wireless carriers, mobile handsets manufacturers, wireless carrier and device software aggregators, personal navigation device manufacturers, and vehicle manufacturers. The Company is a Development Stage Company, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No.7 “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”. Montavo has a patent pending technology filed for “method and distribution system for location based wireless presentation of electronic coupons”.
Acquisition Corp. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 20, 1994. From such date until December 13, 2004, the Company had no operating history other than organizational matters. On December 13, 2004, Trans Media Inc. ("Trans Media"), a Wyoming corporation, became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Such transaction was treated as a reverse merger of Trans Media.
Trans Media was incorporated in the province of British Columbia on July 23, 2001 as 631411 B.C., LTD, and renamed Transworld Media, Inc. on October 28, 2002. It was reincorporated in Wyoming and renamed Trans Media, Inc. on November 18, 2004. Since October 2002, Trans Media has been engaged in the production and distribution of musical CD's and musical performances targeted to the South Asian immigrants residing in North America.
In August 2008, the Company, Montavo Inc and North Coast Partners (North Coast) merged, whereby, Acquisition Corp was merged with and into Montavo and Montavo assumed North Coast's assets and liabilities. Montavo exchanged 100% (11,700,000 shares) of Montavo for 11,700,000 shares of North Coast with 13,080,000 shares retained by the North Coast shareholders. The merger was deemed to be a reverse merger whereby Montavo is the accounting acquirer due to Motavo’s control of the board of directors and management. Recapitalization accounting was deemed appropriate due to North Coast having nominal operations and none of those operations continuing post merger. Montavo shareholders obtained an additional 10,089,512 common shares in November 2008, due to lack of another merger or business combination giving the Montavo shareholders approximately 60% of the combined company.
This summary of significant accounting policies of Montavo is presented to assist in understanding the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to account principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The following items comprise the significant accounting policies of Montavo.
Basis of Accounting
Montavo maintains its accounts on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accounting principles followed by Montavo and the methods of applying those principles, which materially affect the determination of financial position, results of operating and cash flows are summarized below.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, cash in banks and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.
Software Developed for Internal Use
Software development costs for internal use are capitalized in accordance with Statement of Position 98-1, “Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use” and, once placed in service, amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life. Montavo is currently developing proprietary Deal-Finder mobile search and mobile advertising media technology. Montavo has capitalized costs for internally developed software totaling $320,140 and $110,588 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. A significant portion of the costs have been incurred through a vendor which is owned 100% by Montavo’s CDO, Brian Conte. See footnote 3 regarding the funds owed to this related-party vendor. As of December 31, 2008, the software was still under development and has not been placed in service and therefore amortization has not yet begun. Montavo evaluated the software development costs under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No.144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” and determined that there is no impairment.
Patents
The cost of patents represents amounts paid to third parties, including legal costs associated with successfully defending or obtaining the patents. Amortization will be calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related asset. If patent applications are unsuccessful, cost associated with these patents is expensed immediately. Montavo has a patent pending technology filed for “method and distribution system for location based wireless presentation of electron coupons”. Montavo has capitalized costs for patent-related legal fees totaling $36,963 and $27,378 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. As of December 31, 2008, the patent is still pending and therefore amortization has not yet begun.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share". SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the if-converted method. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, there were 0 and 120,611 potential common shares, respectively, that were anti-dilutive.
Debt Discounts
Debt discounts are being amortized through periodic charges to interest expense over the maximum term of the related financial instrument using the effective interest method. Total amortization of debt discounts amounted to $-0- and $1,232 during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Income Taxes
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes” as of its inception. Pursuant to SFAS No. 109, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Potential benefit of net operating losses have not been recognized in these consolidated financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.
Black-Scholes Valuation Model
Montavo used the Black-Scholes pricing model to determine the fair values of its options and warrants. The model uses market sourced inputs such as interest rates, stock prices, and option volatilities, the selection of which requires management’s judgment, and which may impact net income or loss. Montavo uses a risk free interest rate which is the U.S. Treasury bill rate for a security with a maturity that approximates the estimated expected life of the derivative or security. Montavo applies the simplified method under SAB107 to determine the expected life.
Stock Based Compensation
Montavo records compensation expense associated with stock options and other forms of equity compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R,Share-Based Payments, as interpreted by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107.
Stock issued to employees is recorded at the fair value on the date of grant and recognized as compensation expense over the applicable requisite service period. Warrants granted to non-employees are recorded at the estimated fair value of the options granted using the Black-Scholes pricing model and recognized as general and administrative expense over the applicable requisite service period.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Montavo does not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on their financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, Montavo incurred net losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to Montavo’s ability to continue as a going concern. As of the date of this report, Montavo believes that it will not be able to fund its operations, working capital requirements, and debt service requirements through fiscal year 2009 through cash flows generated by operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if Montavo is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Montavo recorded management fees totaling $219,923 and $142,512 to a shareholder for his services rendered during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, $76,358 and $163,746 of these fees are unpaid.
In addition, Montavo recorded software development costs totaling $165,469 and $66,871 to a shareholder for software development services for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. At December 31, 2008 there have been no payments on these fees. The amounts are secured by all of the assets of Montavo. The amounts are convertible into common stock of Montavo if Montavo sells $250,000 or more of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in an equity financing. If triggered, the amounts owed would be converted at the same price per share as the equity financing. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, $165,469 and $110,588 of these fees are unpaid.
In 2007, shareholders made interest bearing loans to Montavo totaling $107,500. The loans were secured by all of Montavo’s assets. Interest expense on these loans was calculated at 6%, and $4,727 was charged to interest expense in 2007. Montavo repaid the loans in full in 2007.
In the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, a shareholder made non-interest bearing advances that are payable on demand to Montavo totaling $455 and $4,500, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, Montavo owed this shareholder $17,536 in advances. The $4,500 was repaid prior to December 31, 2008. Interest expense on these loans has been imputed at 6%, and $1,147 and $856 was charged to interest expense and credited to additional paid in capital for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively.
In the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, a shareholder made interest bearing, unsecured loans to Montavo totaling $6,000 and $14,000, respectively and had remained outstanding as of December 31, 2007 and 2008. Interest expense on these loans was calculated at 6%, and $1,200 and $600 was charged to interest expense in the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively. These loans and the related accrued interest were converted into common stock of Montavo at $.50 per share in September 2008.

A shareholder advanced an additional $25,000 to Montavo in September 2008. These funds are related to a convertible promissory note with a stated interest rate of 12%. The note is convertible at the option of the holder at $.50/share. Interest expense of $378 was accrued as of December 31, 2008 relating to this loan. Montavo analyzed the convertible note for derivative accounting consideration under SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19. Montavo determined the embedded conversion option in the convertible note met the criteria for classification in stockholders equity under SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19. Therefore, derivative accounting was not applicable.
At December 31, 2008 and 2007, convertible debt totaled $25,000 and $0, respectively.
Montavo has office space in Bellevue, Washington. This space is provided at no cost by the chief development officer on a month to month basis.
NOTE 4 – BRIDGE LOANS
At December 31, 2007 Montavo owed various lenders $297,500 identified on the Balance Sheet as “bridge loans”. During 2007, Montavo issued $60,000 of bridge loan notes with 15,000 shares of common stock. The fair value of the shares totaled $1,406 and has been accounted for as a discount to the notes. The discounts have amortized over the one year maturity of the loans. There is no discount remaining on these loans at December 31, 2007.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, Montavo issued $17,500 of bridge loans with 7,000 common shares. The shares have a fair value of $166, and have been treated as a discount to the bridge loans. There is no discount remaining on these loans at December 31, 2008.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, Montavo issued $100,000 of bridge loans with 40,000 common shares. The shares have a fair value of $948, and have been treated as a discount to the bridge loans. There is no discount remaining on these loans at December 31, 2008.
The bridge loans bear interest at 6% per annum and are convertible into Montavo common stock if Montavo completes an equity financing of at least $2 million. The conversion would be calculated by dividing the principal (and accrued interest at the option of Montavo) by 70% of the price per share of the common shares pursuant to equity financing Montavo evaluated the instruments under SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19 for derivative accounting and determined the instruments met equity criteria and therefore were not derivatives. Montavo also evaluated the instruments under EITF’s 98-5 and 00-27 and determined the conversion feature was contingent on a future event and could not be fully evaluated until the event occurred. If a change in control of Montavo or a merger occurs, the holder shall receive the greater of 1.5 times the principal and interest on the note, or the consideration payable if the number of shares into which the principal and interest would convert, based on a $10 million pre-money valuation of the Company immediately prior to change of control or merger.
In May 2008, in anticipation of a merger, the bridge loan investors agreed to convert the bridge loans immediately prior to the closing of the merger. Each holder will receive two shares of common stock for every $1.00 of principal and accrued interest. In September 2008, Montavo converted all principal and accrued interest due under the bridge loans into common stock of Montavo at $.50 per share.
Interest expense totaled $22,576 and $10,932 for December 31, 2007 and 2008 relating to the bridge loans and were outstanding prior to the conversion.
NOTE 5 – MERGER WITH NORTH COAST PARTNERS, INC.
On August 28, 2008, Montavo completed its merger with North Coast Partners, Inc. Pursuant to the agreement North Coast Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of North Coast Partners, Inc. merged into Montavo, with Montavo being the surviving entity as a wholly owned subsidiary of North Coast. Upon completion of the merger, all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Montavo was exchanged for the same number of shares of common stock of North Coast. 11,700,000 shares of common stock of North Coast were issued to the shareholders of Montavo at the closing of the merger. In the event that North Coast did not consummate a merger or business combination with any other company within 90 days of the closing of the merger, the stockholders of Montavo will be entitled to receive additional shares in excess of the 11,700,000 shares. No such merger or business combination occurred. Accordingly, 10,089,512 additional common shares were issued to the stockholders of Montavo on November 28, 2008. As a result, the stockholders of Montavo beneficially own, in the aggregate, sixty percent (60%) of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of North Coast, on a fully diluted basis. The merger was accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization due to Montavo having control of the board of directors and control of management at the date of merger. Hence, 13,080,000 shares are added to the stockholders’ equity statement to represent shares held by North Coast shareholders prior to the merger with Montavo. Assets and liabilities of North Coast Partners assumed by Montavo at the time of merger are as follows:
| |

Accounts payable | (37,562) |
