NOTES TO INTERIM UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS
uKarma Corporation (“the Company”) was incorporated under the name of OM Capital Corporation in the State of Nevada on June 26, 2001. On April 30, 2004, the Company changed its name to uKarma Corporation. In 2006, the Company relocated its headquarter to the State of California and became a California foreign corporation.
The Company develops and markets proprietary branded personal health and wellness products, including fitness DVDs, nutraceuticals, and mind, body, and spirit goods and services for fitness and health-conscious consumers. The Company’s product lines target the rapidly growing tens of millions of people who seek to enrich their physical, spiritual, and mental wellness.
Through infomercials and other marketing initiatives, the Company launched its initial products. The goal of the infomercials is to generate initial working capital and build a community of loyal customers. From there, the Company will expand its product offerings into proprietary branded products primarily within the fitness/wellbeing multimedia and nutraceutical markets. As the brand image builds, the Company intends to extend its brand systematically to other complementary consumer products that meet its stringent product guidelines and are consistent with its message of “total health and happiness for oneself and others.”
The Company has predominantly completed construction on a retail studio that will offer Xflowsion, fitness, and yoga classes along with retail items, retreats and teacher training, and food and beverages. The Company expects construction to be completed within approximately 2 weeks from the time that the Company resolves a legal dispute with its landlord (see note 15). Additionally, the Company is working on a prototype of a patent-pending proprietary yoga mat.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
Presentation Of Interim Information: The financial information at June 30, 2009 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 is unaudited but includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information set forth herein, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information. Accordingly, such information does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
The balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.
The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 may not be indicative of results for the year ending December 31, 2009 or any future periods.

NOTES TO INTERIM UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Use of estimates: The preparation of the accompanying financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that directly affect the results of reported assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Revenue recognition: The Company generally recognizes product revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. In instances where the final acceptance of the product is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. Customers’ prepayments are deferred until products are shipped and accepted by the customers. No provisions were established for estimated product returns and allowances based on the Company’s historical experience.
Cash Equivalents: For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Concentration of Cash: The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions. At times, cash balances may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limits. Management considers the risk to be minimal.
Inventories: Inventories consist of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in, first-out method.
Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are valued at cost. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expenses as incurred. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 5 to 7 years. Depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $1,278 and $522, respectively. Depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $2,498 and $1,032, respectively.
Patents: The Company capitalizes patent costs as incurred, excluding costs associated with Company personnel, relating to patenting its technology. The majority of capitalized costs represent legal fees related to a patent application. If the Company elects to stop pursuing a particular patent application or determines that a patent application is not likely to be awarded or elects to discontinue payment of required maintenance fees for a particular patent, the Company, at that time, records as expense the capitalized amount of such patent application or patent. Awarded patents will be amortized over the shorter of the economic or legal life of the patent.
Fair value of financial instruments: All financial instruments are carried at amounts that approximate estimated fair value.
Income Taxes: Income tax expense is based on pretax financial accounting income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts.
Advertising Costs: All costs associated with advertising and promoting the Company’s products and services are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $6,952 and $115,191, respectively. Advertising expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $15,987 and $303,546, respectively.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Net Loss Per Share: Basic net loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share does not differ from basic net loss per share since potential shares of common stock are anti-dilutive for all periods presented. Potential shares consist of restricted common stock, stock warrants, and stock options.
Stock Based Compensation: Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R), “Shares-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R), using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized in 2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006 based of the grant date fair value calculated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). As a result of adopting SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006, the Company reorganized pre-tax compensation expense related to stock options of $47,947 and $99,458 for three months and six month ended June 30, 2009, respectively.
The Company accounts for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R and the EITF Issue No. 00-18, “Accounting For Equity Instruments That Are Issued To Other Than Employees for Acquiring, Or In Conjunction With Selling, Goods Or Services.” SFAS No. 123R states that equity instruments that are issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services should be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Under the guidance in Issue 00-18, the measurement date occurs as of the earlier of (a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached or (b) absent a performance commitment, the date at which the performance necessary to earn the equity instruments is complete (that is, the vesting date).
New Accounting Pronouncements: In April 2009, the FASB issued three Staff Positions (FSPs): (i) FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”, (ii) FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Statements,” and (iii) FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments.” The pronouncements intended to provide additional application guidance and enhance disclosures regarding fair value measurements and impairments of securities, but they will not be applicable to the current operations of the Company. Therefore a description and the impact on the Company’s operations and financial position for each of the pronouncements above have not been disclosed.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. In the near term, the Company expects operating costs to continue to exceed funds generated from operations. As a result, the Company expects to continue to incur operating losses, and the operations in the near future are expected to continue to use working capital.
Management of the Company is actively increasing marketing efforts to increase revenues. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to meet its financing arrangement and the success of its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Accordingly, the Company shall pay a royalty of 8% on the first $300,000 and 10% on above $300,000 on all gross revenue, net of returns, refunds, chargebacks, taxes, and shipping and handling charges. As of June 30, 2009, there is a balance of $57,457 after advancing $70,000 and deducting royalties to the 2009 sales. Future royalty obligations will be deducted from the current balance.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share | | $ | (0.01 | ) | | $ | (0.05 | ) | | $ | (0.02 | ) | | $ | (0.07 | ) |
There were no dilutive securities for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009.
As the Company incurred net losses for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, the effect of dilutive securities totaling 2,937,143 and 2,925,715 equivalent shares has been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because their effect was anti-dilutive.
There were also 11,777,000 and 5,827,000 shares out-of-money stock options and warrants excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, because their conversion prices or exercise prices, as applicable, were greater than the average fair market price of the common stock.
NOTE 13 – 2006 STOCK OPTION PLAN
On January 1, 2006, the Board of Directors approved and adopted the 2006 Stock Option, Deferred Stock and Restricted Stock Plan (the “Plan”) to provide the issuance of non-qualified and/or incentive stock options to employees, officers, directors, and consultants and other service providers. Generally, all options granted expire ten years from the date of grant. All options have an exercise price equal to or higher than the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date the options were granted. It is the Company’s policy to issue new shares for stock option exercised and restricted stock, rather than issue treasury shares. Options generally vest over ten years. The Plan reserves 7,500,000 shares of common stock under the Plan and is effective through December 31, 2015.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company paid $16,000 to a director for his consulting services to the Company. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company paid $14,285 in 714,250 shares of the Company’s common stock for his services to the Company.
NOTE 15 – LEGAL DISPUTE
On June 17, 2009, Jeffrey Fischer (the “Landlord”) filed a compliant against the Company and Bill Glaser in the Los Angeles Superior Court in Los Angeles, California. The Landlord claims that the Company owes back rent on the lease of its yoga and fitness studio in Sherman Oaks, California and seeks to recover $222,859.97 and evict the Company from the subject property. The Company denies liability and contends that the Landlord never reimbursed the Company for a tenant improvement allowance of $165,000 pursuant to the lease along with other breaches by the Landlord. Unless the Company reaches a settlement with the Landlord where the Landlord reimburses the Company with the tenant improvement allowance and reduces the Company’s future rent payments or where the Landlord allows the Company to vacate the property for a reimbursement of its tenant improvements, the Company plans to initiate legal action against the Landlord for full recovery of all tenant improvements it incurred to date along with other damages. In the proceeding initiated by the Landlord, the Company filed a demurrer that will be heard on September 24, 2009.

Overview
We are an early stage company that develops and markets proprietary branded personal health and wellness products, including yoga and fitness DVDs, books and CDs, nutraceuticals, and other products targeting the mass market and MBS (Mind/Body/Spirit) consumers. We generated no revenues since inception through the first quarter of 2007. We began to generate revenue in the second quarter of 2007. Accordingly, we are no longer a development stage since April 1, 2007.
Since April 2004, we have dedicated our resources to developing our business plan and producing items that will appeal to the “wellness” conscious consumer, such as yoga and fitness DVDs. In May 2007, we began to market and sell our initial Xflowsion products. We believe that our success depends upon our ability to successfully produce, market, and distribute such products along with having the necessary capital to operate and grow our business. After test-marketing the initial version of our infomercial, we recognized the need to shoot additional footage and to reedit it before airing it again. Due to capital constraints, we had to wait until our registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission in order to raise capital. Our registration statement was declared effective on August 9, 2007, and we focused the remainder of 2007 raising capital and preparing to update our infomercial and implement our marketing strategy in 2008.
We began airing the reedited version of our Xflowsion infomercial nationally on June 27, 2008. Infomercials typically go through a period of on-air testing and other means such as focus groups to obtain feedback that can be used to make edits designed to elicit the greatest consumer response. We had been going through such a process and conducted a focus group during the 3rd quarter of 2008. We had a very high percentage (approximately 80%) of participants who were interested in buying our Xflowsion DVD series. Overall, the focus group feedback revealed a strong interest in the Xflowsion workout and instructor Eric Paskel and confirmed our potential for Xflowsion to be a big seller. We used the feedback we received from the focus group and on-air infomercial testing to tweak our branding and edit our infomercial to maximize the potential response and sales by consumers. With the economic downturn and the fall season typically not being the best time to sell fitness-oriented products, we did not air our infomercial again during 2008 and have yet to do so in 2009 due to capital constraints. In addition to our infomercial, our Xflowsion DVD series has been approved for sale on QVC, the home shopping television network, and we have finalized the economic terms of our relationship with QVC. While we expected that the first air date on QVC would be sometime in January 2009, that airing has not yet occurred. It was indicated to us that the delay was due to economic conditions and because our product would be less known to the QVC audience since our infomercial was not airing on television. We do expect at some point that QVC will begin selling our Xflowsion DVD series.
The personality of our Xflowsion DVD series, Eric Paskel, will appear on a network television reality show this fall, which appearance is expected to be announced after Labor Day. While this television show eliminates cast members after each episode or each week, and there can be no guarantee that Mr. Paskel will continue for any period beyond the first episode, we expect this to be a marketing tool for our brand of DVD series, which features Mr. Paskel, as he will be exposed to an audience of up to 15-30 million individuals.
Toward this end, we executed an online marketing agreement with Livemercial which is one of the largest online marketers of direct response products. Among other products, Livemercial has marketed many products featuring Billy Mays as the pitchman. Pursuant to the agreement with Livemercial, Livemercial will incur all expenses related to the establishment of websites for our Xflowsion DVD series as well as all online marketing expenses intended to direct traffic to the websites that Livemercial creates. Livemercial will be paid by us a percentage of each sale they generate, and we will not incur any related marketing expenses.
We expect that we will have a big opportunity to leverage the press coverage that Mr. Paskel will receive as a result of being a cast member on the upcoming network television show through our marketing collaborations, and we also plan to increase our brand exposure and awareness of Xflowsion and drive sales via a public relations campaign. Toward that end, Xflowsion has already been profiled in People Magazine, People.com, Fitness Magazine, TMZ, The National Enquirer, and many other publications. We are encouraged by the response to our Xflowsion DVD series in the media and with consumers and via our marketing efforts.
We are also pleased to report that we entered into a Letter of Intent (LOI) to acquire Galen Capital Corporation (“Galen”). Galen is a holding company that has two wholly owned government defense contractors as well as a wealth management and investment banking division. Pursuant to the LOI, we will receive $275,000 from Galen and all outstanding Galen equity securities from Galen’s shareholders. In return, we will issue to Galen’s shareholders that number of newly-issued shares such that they will hold 95% of our outstanding equity shares after the Transaction.
Concurrent with the merger of Galen, uKarma’s operating business will be spun-off into a new entity that will be held by our current shareholders (prior to the Transaction) on a pro-rata basis. As such, we believe that this transaction is beneficial for our shareholders as we will be able to receive $275,000 without selling shares and without taking on debt. Our shareholders will also own the same pro-rata ownership in uKarma’s business while also retaining some ownership of Galen.
Along with loaning additional funds to the Company, our CEO, Bill Glaser, has deferred approximately $35,000 of his 2008 salary and will continue to defer his salary in 2009 until the Company can better afford to pay it. In the meantime, he has agreed to convert his loans to the Company along with his deferred compensation to date into shares of our common stock.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our MD&A is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The following accounting policies, which are also described in Note 2 to our financial statements, are critical to aid the reader in fully understanding and evaluating this discussion and analysis:
Use of estimates: The preparation of the accompanying financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that directly affect the results of reported assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Revenue recognition: The Company generally recognizes product revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. In instances where the final acceptance of the product is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. Customers’ prepayments are deferred until products are shipped and accepted by the customers. No provisions were established for estimated product returns and allowances based on the Company’s historical experience.
Cash Equivalents: For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Concentration of Cash: The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions. At times, cash balances may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limits. Management considers the risk to be minimal.
Inventories: Inventories consist of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in, first-out method.
Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are valued at cost. Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expenses as incurred. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 5 to 7 years.
Patents: The Company capitalizes patent costs as incurred, excluding costs associated with Company personnel, relating to patenting its technology. The majority of capitalized costs represent legal fees related to a patent application. If the Company elects to stop pursuing a particular patent application or determines that a patent application is not likely to be awarded or elects to discontinue payment of required maintenance fees for a particular patent, the Company, at that time, records as expense the capitalized amount of such patent application or patent. Awarded patents will be amortized over the shorter of the economic or legal life of the patent.
Fair value of financial instruments: All financial instruments are carried at amounts that approximate estimated fair value.
Income Taxes: Income tax expense is based on pretax financial accounting income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts.
Advertising Costs: All costs associated with advertising and promoting the Company’s products and services are expensed as incurred.
Net Loss Per Share: Basic net loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share does not differ from basic net loss per share since potential shares of common stock are anti-dilutive for all periods presented. Potential shares consist of restricted common stock, stock warrants, and stock options.
Stock Based Compensation: Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R), “Shares-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R), using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized in 2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006 based of the grant date fair value calculated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). The Company accounts for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R and the EITF Issue No. 00-18, “Accounting For Equity Instruments That Are Issued To Other Than Employees for Acquiring, Or In Conjunction With Selling, Goods Or Services.” SFAS No. 123R states that equity instruments that are issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services should be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Under the guidance in Issue 00-18, the measurement date occurs as of the earlier of (a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached or (b) absent a performance commitment, the date at which the performance necessary to earn the equity instruments is complete (that is, the vesting date).
New Accounting Pronouncements: In April 2009, the FASB issued three Staff Positions (FSPs): (i) FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”, (ii) FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Statements,” and (iii) FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments.” The pronouncements intended to provide additional application guidance and enhance disclosures regarding fair value measurements and impairments of securities, but they will not be applicable to the current operations of the Company. Therefore a description and the impact on the Company’s operations and financial position for each of the pronouncements above have not been disclosed.
Results of Operations
Comparison of Six Months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008
Net sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, net sales increased 229% relative to the six months ended June 30, 2008, from $5,422 to $17,823. The increase from the first half of 2008 to the first half of 2009 is primarily attributable to increased public relations exposure of our Xflowsion DVD series.
Cost of sales. Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $1,144 as compared to $274 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, an increase of approximately 318%. The increase in our cost of sales is attributable to a greater number of product units sold.
Gross profit. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $16,679 as compared to a gross profit of $5,148 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, representing gross margins of approximately 94% and 95%, respectively.
Operating expenses. Our operating expenses consisted primarily of general and administrative expenses and expenses related to marketing our product and construction of our studio. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, total operating expenses were $754,067, while total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were $1,567,644, representing a decrease of approximately 53%. The decrease in operating expenses is due to fewer expenses related to infomercial production and stock for services.
Net income (loss). We had net loss of $752,755 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to net loss of $1,569,709 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
Comparison of Three Months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008
Net sales. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, net sales increased 65% relative to the three months ended June 30, 2008, from $2,663 to $4,392. The increase from the second quarter of 2008 to the second quarter of 2009 is primarily attributable to increased public relations exposure of our Xflowsion DVD series.
Cost of sales. Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $371 as compared to $130 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, an increase of approximately 185%. The increase in our cost of sales is attributable to a greater number of product units sold.
Gross profit. Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $4,021 as compared to a gross profit of $2,533 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, representing gross margins of approximately 91.5% and 95%, respectively.
Operating expenses. Our operating expenses consisted primarily of general and administrative expenses and expenses related to marketing our product and construction of our studio. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, total operating expenses were $233,166, while total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2008 were $1,053,044, representing a decrease of approximately 78%.The decrease in operating expenses is due to fewer production costs and stock issued for services.
Net income (loss). We had net loss of $226,213 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to net loss of $1,053,716 for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
LIQUIDITY
Cash Flows
Net cash used by operating activities was $7,497 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, while net cash used by operating activities was $812,181 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in net cash flow from operating activities between the two periods was mainly due to lower net loss.
Net cash used by investing activities was $128,900 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, while net cash used by investing activities was $22,793 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in net cash flow from investing activities between the periods was due to increased use of cash for purchases of property and equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $134,855 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, while net cash provided by financing activities was $798,500 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in net cash flow from financing activities was mainly due to capital received from our IPO in 2008.
Material Impact of Known Events on Liquidity
Our obligation to perform tenant improvements of our yoga and fitness studio and then begin operations is a cause of a decrease in our liquidity. We estimate that the completed construction costs for our studio will be approximately $500,000 and then require approximately $55,000 per month to operate once we open for business. Due to our current liquidity, we must raise additional capital in order to meet the aforementioned obligations.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 2009, we had working capital of $(256,288). To satisfy current working capital needs, our CEO, Bill Glaser, loaned funds to the Company along with raising capital via the sale of common stock. Until we raise sufficient capital via the sale of our common stock, there is no guarantee that we will be able to meet current working capital needs if we do not receive additional loans from either our CEO or other individuals. We have fully incurred the production cost of our Xflowsion DVD series and last version of our infomercial, and have incurred approximately $400,000 worth of costs related to the construction of our yoga and fitness studio. We plan to make financial investments in completing and opening our yoga and fitness studio and in marketing of our Xflowsion DVD series for the next six months. We expect to incur substantial losses over the next two years.
We estimate that our expenses over the next 12 months beginning on January 1, 2009 will be approximately $1,025,000 as follows:
General and Administrative | | $ | 300,000 | |
Infomercial Production | | | 150,000 | |
Inventory | | | 50,000 | |
Media (Airtime) | | | 50,000 | |
Marketing/Publicity | | | 150,000 | |
Legal | | | 75,000 | |
DVD/CD Production | | | 50,000 | |
Accounting | | | 50,000 | |
Studio Construction/Start-up | | | 150,000 | |
As of June 30, 2009, we had cash equivalents of $7,659, which will meet our capital requirements for approximately the next month. We believe that we need approximately an additional $900,000 to meet our capital requirements over the next 12 months. Our intention is to obtain this money through debt and/or equity financings.
We plan to engage outside contractors and consultants who are willing to be paid in stock rather than cash or a combination of stock and cash. Expenses incurred that cannot be paid in stock, such as auditors' fees, will be paid in cash. There are no assurances that we will be able to meet our capital requirements or that our capital requirements will not increase. If we are unable to raise necessary capital to meet our capital requirements, we may not be able to successfully market and sell our Xflowsion DVDs and open and operate our yoga and fitness studio.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Contractual Obligations
We have certain fixed contractual obligations and commitments that include future estimated payments. Changes in our business needs, cancellation provisions, changing interest rates, and other factors may result in actual payments differing from the estimates.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as stockholders’ equity or that are not reflected in our financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, 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, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the applicable period to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
On June 17, 2009, Jeffrey Fischer (the “Landlord”) filed a compliant against uKarma Corporation and Bill Glaser in the Los Angeles Superior Court in Los Angeles, California. The Landlord claims that we owe back rent on the lease of our yoga and fitness studio in Sherman Oaks, California and seeks to recover $222,859.97 and evict us from the subject property. We deny liability and contend that the Landlord never reimbursed us for a tenant improvement allowance of $165,000 pursuant to the lease along with other breaches by the Landlord. Unless we reach a settlement with the Landlord where the Landlord reimburses us with the tenant improvement allowance and reduces our future rent payments or where the Landlord allows us to vacate the property for a reimbursement of our tenant improvements, we plan to initiate legal action against the Landlord for full recovery of all tenant improvements we incurred to date along with other damages. In the proceeding initiated by the Landlord, we filed a demurrer that will be heard on September 24, 2009.
Other than the proceeding discussed above, there have been no material developments during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 in any material pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or of which any of our property is the subject.
