These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 8, 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company’s 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fixed assets are recorded at cost. They will be depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets of 3-7 years, when they are put into service.
The Company expenses marketing, promotion, and advertising costs as incurred.
All purchasers under the Securities Purchase Agreement also acquired a warrant to purchase common stock of the Company. These warrants will entitle each holder thereof to purchase a presently indeterminate number of shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price, subject to adjustment, that is also presently indeterminate.
Due to the contingencies inherent in the fixing of the exercise price of the warrants and the nature of the Company’s operations at this time, the fair value attributable to these warrants upon their issuance is zero.

Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations
This quarterly report on Form 10-QSB contains a number of “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Specifically, all statements other than statements of historical facts included in this quarterly report regarding our financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management. When used in this quarterly report, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “continue” and “intend,” and words or phrases of similar import, as they relate to our financial position, business strategy and plans, or objectives of management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect our current view with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions related to various factors.
You should understand that the following important factors, in addition to those discussed below the heading “Overview” and in our periodic reports and in other filings that we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, could affect our future results and could cause those results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements:
general economic conditions;
limited operating history;
results of additional development of our business;
intense competition in our industry;
our future capital needs and our ability to obtain financing, and
other risks and uncertainties as may be detailed from time to time in our publicannouncements and filings with the SEC.
Although we believe that our expectations are reasonable, we cannot assure you that our expectations will prove to be correct. Should any one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in this Quarterly Report as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected or intended.
We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or any other reason. All subsequent forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to herein. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this report may not occur.
The following discussion reflects management's analysis of the operating history of the Company and its predecessor entity, Fearless. As such, the discussion only represents management's current assessment of the operations of the business. There can be no implication that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future, or that any of the conclusions expressed below will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements of December 31, 2006, and the related statements of expenses, changes in members’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three month period and the nine month period ended December 31, 2006.

Overview.The Company is engaged in the design and marketing of luxury performance powerboats and yachts.
PBC, LLC, a Missouri company, was formed February 23, 2004 to design and develop luxury performance boats and yachts. This entity was dissolved and all assets and liabilities were transferred to PB Holdings, LLC, a Florida limited liability company formed on September 7, 2005. PB Holdings was managed by Gary Fears as majority equity owner. Due to changes in ownership, PB Holdings, LLC was dissolved and Fearless was formed February 14, 2006.
On December 11, 2006, in accordance with the Acquisition Agreement, Fearless became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, which subsequently changed its name from New Era Marketing, Inc. to Fearless International, Inc.
These financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles applicable to a going concern. The Company is in the development stage and has not, as yet, achieved commercial production. At present, management devotes significant time to raise sufficient funds to fund its development operations. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern with respect to its planned principal business activity is dependent upon its successful efforts to raise additional financing.
Critical Accounting Policies
Accounting for warrant registration rights
The Warrants have a registration rights provision for liquidated damages:
| a. | EITF Issue No. 05-4 “The Effect of a Liquidated Damages Clause on a Freestanding Financial Instrument Subject to EITF Issue No. 00-19, ‘Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock’” addresses financial instruments (such as stock purchase warrants), which are accounted for under EITF 00-19 that may be issued at the same time and in contemplation of a registration rights agreement that includes a liquidated damages clause. |
|
| b. | EITF 05-4 discussed (a) whether a registration rights penalty meets the definition of a derivative and (b) whether the registration rights agreement and the underlying financial instrument should be considered as a combined freestanding instrument or as separate freestanding instruments. However, as of the September 15, 2005 meeting of the EITF, discussion of this Issue was postponed. |
|
| c. | Therefore, at this time, the liquidating damages feature does not have to be separately valued, however this is an open issue and the accounting may change (the liquidated damages feature being accounted for as an embedded derivative), and the Company will account for this feature at that time. |
|
Accounting for warrant fair value
Due to the contingencies inherent in the fixing of the exercise price of the warrants and the nature of the Company’s operations at this time, the fair value attributable to these warrants upon their issuance is zero. The provision for the warrant exercise price being reset if the company raises money at a lower price than the exercise price may create a situation that will require the fair value of the modification (fair value immediately before the reset vs. the fair value upon reset) to be charged to the income statement.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company's 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
9
and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are recorded at cost. They will be depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets of 3-7 years, when they are put into service.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses marketing, promotion, and advertising costs as incurred.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. None.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets-An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29”. SFAS 153 eliminates the exception from fair value measurement for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets in paragraph 21(b) of APB Opinion No. 29, "Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions", and replaces it with an exception for exchanges that do not have commercial substance. The adoption of SFAS 153 in January 2006 did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. SFAS No. 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. It establishes retrospective application, or the latest practicable date, as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle and the reporting of the correction of an error. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS No. 154 will not have a significant impact on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140.” SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, to permit fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity (“SPE”) to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier application allowed. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 155 to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
Liquidity and Capital Resources.The Company has funded its operations and met its capital expenditures requirements primarily though cash generated from contributions from its members and borrowings.
As of December 31, 2006, the Company had negative working capital in the amount of $2,361,410 compared to a negative working capital of $1,017,326 as of September 30, 2006. Cash used by operating activities were $686,727 for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 compared to cash used by operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2005 of $60,412.
The factors that predominantly impact working capital and therefore cash flows from operations are operating expenses.
Net cash used by investing activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 were $1,173,800 as compared to $53,227 for the nine months ended December 31, 2005. The net cash used by investing activities was predominantly due to the purchase of certain fixed assets.
10
Net cash provided from financing activities was $1,746,538 for the nine months ended December 31, 2006. Net cash provided from financing activities was $113,639 for the nine months ended December 31, 2005. The cash flow provided from financing activities was primarily derived from the net cash received from the sale of the Company's securities and borrowings.
Management expects to continue to invest in the Company's expansion and this may have a negative impact on cash flows. Management believes that expansion in the areas of sales and operations are essential in attaining growth and profitability in the future. Cash on hand on the date hereof and cash generated by operations in conjunction with our working capital will not be sufficient to continue our business for the next twelve months. Management continually reviews the Company’s overall capital and funding needs, taking into account current business needs, as well as future goals and requirements. Based on the Company’s business strategy, management believes the Company will need to increase its net capital and that the best way to do this is through the sale of additional securities or debt instruments as described above. For more information on cash flows, please see the statement of cash flows included in our financial statements appearing elsewhere herein.
Should the Company’s costs and expenses prove to be greater than its currently anticipates, or should the Company change its current business plan in a manner that will increase or accelerate its anticipated costs and expenses, the depletion of its working capital would be accelerated.
Item 3: Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive and financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As of December 31, 2006, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that required material information is included in this report. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the current quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
