Item 1. Business.
Overview
Atlas Therapeutics Corporation ("Atlas" or the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 11, 2007 and is a development stage company. At December 31, 2010 and prior to February 25, 2011, the Company’s principal business objective was to become a premier franchisor of retail shipping, postal, courier and business service centers by providing a wide range of convenient, value-added business services to consumers, mobile and traveling professionals and the small office/home office market.
The Company was founded based on the need of individuals and companies to have dependable, consistent and professional business service centers where they would be able to obtain a wide variety of benefits such as packaging, shipping, copy and print assistance, mailbox locations, email retrieval, delivery and messenger couriers and convenient office supplies. Our primary customer service goal was to tailor specific solutions to suit each particular customer’s needs and concerns. At December 31, 2010 and prior to February 25, 2011, the Company had yet to commence operations and did not generate any revenues.
Our executive offices are currently ocated at 4640 Admiralty Way, Suite 500, Marina Del Rey, CA 90292 and our telephone number is (310) 496-5727.
Recent Developments
On February 25, 2011, the Company, Atlas Acquisition Corp., its wholly-owned subsidiary (“Atlas Sub”), and Peak Wellness, Inc. (“Peak”), entered into an Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Atlas Sub purchased from Peak (the “Acquisition”) the intellectual property pertaining to MYO-T12, a natural-myostatin inhibitor, including the formula and process for making MYO-T12, certain trademarks, trade secrets, patent applications and certain domain names. The purchase price for the assets was $1,150,000, of which $450,000 was paid in cash and $700,000 via the issuance of a promissory note. Upon the closing of the Acquisition, Georgette Mathers resigned as our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and J.B. Bernstein was appointed to such positions as well as to our Board of Directors. In addition, Dr. Carlon Colker, the President of Peak, was appointed our Chief Medical Officer and Executive Vice President. In connection with the Acquisition, Ms. Mathers transferred all of her shares of common stock to various individuals, including certain of the persons set forth in the table in Item 12 below. On March 15, 2011, Ms. Mathers resigned from our board of directors.
In connection with the Acquisition, we issued an aggregate of 4,766,666 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 4,766,666 shares of common stock to certain investors on February 25, 2011 (the “Private Placement”). Each warrant has a three-year term and is exercisable at $0.60 per share and is redeemable by us in the event our common stock exceeds $3.00 for twenty of thirty trading days. We received gross proceeds of approximately $1.4 million in the Private Placement.
As a result of the Acquisition, the Company’s new business focus will be the formulation, acquisition and distribution of nutritional, nutraceutical, physical performance enhancement and wellness products. Unless specified herein, the discussion in this report is as of December 31, 2010 and relates to the Company’s business as of such date.

Strategy
The Company was founded based on the need of individuals and companies to have dependable, consistent and professional business service centers where they can obtain a wide variety of benefits such as packaging, shipping, copy and print assistance, mailbox locations, email retrieval, delivery and messenger couriers and convenient office supplies. It was our goal to become the most dependable, consistent and professional business service center available to the public. Our primary customer service goal was to tailor specific solutions to suit each particular customer’s needs and concerns.
Our strategy was to grow sales and reach operating profitability by being a leader in our field. In support of this goal, we pursued development of our services and the acquisition and tailored development of industry products related to our services. We planned to utilize these products for our specific needs, and expand our sales. We believed that our pipeline of services would provide us with a competitive advantage towards becoming a viable, ongoing business.
Employees
As of December 31, 2010, we had one employee.
New Business
Overview
Subsequent to the Acquisition on February 25, 2011, we have entered into a new business. We are now focused on the formulation, acquisition and distribution of nutritional, nutraceutical, physical performance enhancement and wellness products. We believe our management team has the experience in the formulation and development of such products as well as the marketing expertise required to bring these products to market. We have acquired our first proprietary formulation—MYO-T12, and plan to formulate or acquire additional products in the future.
MYO-T12 has been developed to take advantage of the following market place characteristics:
● | High incidence and high growth of targeted lifestyle objectives; |
● | Identifiable market segments and known consumer purchasing patterns for targeted market segment; |
● | Low-cost manufacturing and distribution; and |
● | Branded consumer product preferences. |
We believe that the combination of the above marketplace characteristics, combined with our management’s experience and current and future products will enable our business model to be successful.
Market Overview
The total U.S. retail market for nutritional supplements is highly fragmented and is rapidly growing. We believe that the rapid growth in this market segment is due to a number of factors, including (i) increased interest in healthier lifestyles, (ii) publication of research findings supporting the positive health effects of certain nutritional supplementation products and (iii) the aging of the “baby boom” generation combined with the tendency of consumers to purchase an increasing number of nutritional maximization and wellness products as they age. We believe we are well-positioned to capitalize on the growth of the nutritional and wellness markets.

Our Current Product—MYO-T12
In connection with the Acquisition, we obtained all rights, trademarks and know-how to a nutrition and physician maximization product known as MYO-T12. MYO-T12 has been shown in a clinical study to influence human body production of a genetic protein called myostatin. MYO-T12 is manufactured to optimize biological activity. MYO-T12 is manufactured to optimize biological activity and has demonstrated its potential in redefining existing standards of physical enhancement. Myostatin is a substance identified in recent years as being the most overwhelming force inhibiting muscle growth and recovery. Myostatin is a protein produced by nearly every vertebrate animal including humans. Early science recognized that there were rare animals and people that naturally lacked the gene needed to produce myostatin, and were incredibly healthy while being well-muscled and immensely strong. But for the rest of the human race of myostatin producers, gaining muscles is a comparative struggle. To even slightly overcome a person’s myostatin levels, a person needs to weight train with incredible intensity and frequency. Even then, results are often disappointing and often lead people to use and abuse illegal performance-enhancing drugs including testosterone and growth hormone.
In 2005, Carlon M. Colker, M.D., FACN, our Chief Medical Officer, discovered that a natural substance known to inhibit myostatin is found in significant levels in standard store-bought fertilized chicken eggs (Journal of the American College of Nutrition, Volume 25, No. 5; Abstract 65; October 2006). These eggs, which are in the food supply, are 100% natural and are eaten regularly across the United States. The key to myostatin inhibition is the production of biologically active substances by approximately 20,000 cells in the blastodisc of the fertile egg, barely visible to the naked eye. These cells produce myostatin inhibition. When magnified by a proprietary de-bulking and high-grade handling process, a concentrated biologically active powder is made. This powder is the main ingredient in MYO-T12.
We believe that the underlying proprietary formulation technology of MYO-T12 will provide us with a compelling product in the competitive marketplace. We believe MYO-T12 is the only supplement of its kind:
● | backed by more than a decade of evolutionary bench work and published scientific research; |
● | shown in study subjects to produce high-grade short-term suppression of myostatin in 100% of the human test study subjects; and |
● | shown to reduce blood levels of myostatin among study subjects by an average of 46% in only 12-18 hours after first use. |
MYO-T12 is not on any known banned substance list for the major sports organizations and fully excluded from any restrictions of the World Anti-Doping Agency or the International Olympic Committee.
Strategy
Our strategy is to become a leader in supplying quality branded products via an online platform while generating growth and profitability. We have chosen to focus specifically on the formulation and distribution of nutrition/physical maximization and wellness products. As such, we seek to gain market share in the rapidly growing marketplace by (i) distributing our core branded product--MYO-T12, (ii) formulating, and developing new and complementary product lines, (iii) expanding our marketing efforts through highly targeted and carefully researched/customized nationwide multimedia marketing campaigns, and (iv) making strategic product acquisitions. In addition to the foregoing, recognizing the fragmented nature of the nutritional and wellness industry, we hope to capitalize on the significant opportunities for growth through strategic acquisitions. We will seek acquisitions that serve to expand our brand name, broaden our product offerings or facilitate entry into complementary distribution channels.
Marketing, Sales and Distribution
We believe e-commerce is a sustainable and permanent business model that can enable us to penetrate our market. We believe brand-focused web retailers that can provide quality products and outstanding customer service are becoming the preferred forum for purchasing by many consumers. While traditional retailers are often plagued by excessive overhead and local marketing, e-commerce companies do not face these daunting challenges. Multi-faceted targeted marketing campaigns can be created simultaneously, which would allow us to reach various market segments with relative ease and with little expense. We will target customers who are looking for proactive, non-invasive, and non-pharmaceutical ways to stay healthy by providing MYO-T12 and other future products via an online platform.
4
We are focused on a direct to end-user e-commerce based sales model. We believe this model will give us an advantage over our competitors both by collecting the full retail price for our current and future products as well as eliminating the servicing costs associated with traditional retail ventures. Our long-range goal is not only to penetrate the fitness and nutritional maximization supplement marketplace but also to create an icon brand. Initially, assuming we have sufficient funds, we will (i) engage in web-based marketing to generate product awareness in the traditional print advertising in sector specific publications, (ii) use television and radio promotions and (iii) benefit from celebrity ambassadors for each target market segment.
Our objective is to utilize management’s marketing and sales abilities and resources to generate revenue and establish a market presence in key product categories that can be expanded as we grow. We will focus on seamless order processing, simplified consumer purchase decisions and providing clean and standardized marketing data, which will enable us to remain relevant to our customers’ evolving needs.
Research and Development
Our research and development efforts with respect to the formulation of MYO-T12 are substantially complete. Much of our basic scientific work with respect thereto was performed by Dr. Colker, our Chief Medical Officer, prior to the Acquisition. We intend to focus our research and development activities on creating additional nutritional maximization and wellness products.
Manufacturing; Raw Materials and Suppliers
Rather than seeking to acquire or build a manufacturing facility, we will initially leverage management’s existing relationships to outsource manufacturing of MYO-T12 to trusted third party manufacturers. We believe this arrangement will provide us with an advantage in our margins and improve our return on assets. We expect that all of the raw materials for our current product will be sourced by the manufacturer from third-party suppliers. Neither we nor our manufacturer has significant long-term supply contracts with the suppliers. Any shortages in our raw materials could result in materially higher raw material prices and adversely affect our ability to outsource the manufacture of our product.
Competition
The market for nutritional maximization and wellness products is highly competitive. Competition is based primarily on price, quality, customer service, marketing and product effectiveness. Our competition includes numerous nutritional supplement companies that are highly fragmented in terms of geographic market coverage, distribution channels and product categories. In addition, large pharmaceutical companies and packaged food and beverage companies compete with us in the nutritional supplement market. These companies and certain nutritional supplement companies have broader product lines and/or larger sales volumes than us and have greater financial and other resources available to them and possess extensive manufacturing, distribution and marketing capabilities. Other companies are able to compete more effectively due to a greater extent of vertical integration. Private label products of our competitors, which in recent years have significantly increased in certain nutrition categories, compete directly with our products. In several product categories, private label items are the market share leaders. Increased competition from such companies, including private label pressures, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Many companies within our industry are privately-held and therefore, we are unable to assess the size of all of our competitors or where we rank in comparison to such privately-held competitors with respect to sales.
Employees
As of March 31, 2011, we had two employees.

PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
(a) Market Information
Our common stock is listed on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “ATTH”. However, the market for shares of our common stock is extremely limited. We cannot guarantee that a meaningful trading market will develop even though our stock is tradable. If a market ever develops for our common stock, of which we cannot guarantee success, the trading price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various events or factors, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, the stock market may experience extreme price and volume fluctuations, which, without a direct relationship to the operating performance, may affect the market price of our stock.
The high and low closing bid prices for shares of our common stock for each quarter within the last two fiscal years, or the applicable period when there were quotations are as follows:
Period | High | Low | ||||||
January 1, 2009 through March 31, 2009 | None | None | ||||||
April 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009 | $ | 0.04 | $ | 0.04 | ||||
July 1, 2009 through September 30, 2009 | $ | 0.04 | $ | 0.04 | ||||
October 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009 | $ | 0.04 | $ | 0.04 | ||||
January 1, 2010 through March 31, 2010 | $ | 0.07 | $ | 0.04 | ||||
April 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010 | $ | 0.30 | $ | 0.10 | ||||
July 1, 2010 through September 30, 2010 | $ | 2.45 | $ | 0.30 | ||||
October 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010 | $ | 0.10 | $ | 0.10 |

These bid prices were obtained from the Pink OTC Markets, Inc. and do not necessarily reflect actual transactions, retail markups, mark downs or commissions. As of March 30, 2011, the last reported sales price of our shares on the OTC Bulletin Board was $0.50.
No assurance can be given that any “established public market” will develop in the common stock of the Company, or if any such market does develop, that it will continue or be sustained for any period of time.
Penny Stock Rule
Our securities are currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, which is not a national or regional stock exchange. Therefore, our shares most likely will be subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), commonly referred to as the “penny stock” rule. Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for broker-dealer transactions in penny stocks and Rule 15g-9(d)(1) incorporates the definition of penny stock as that used in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act.
The SEC generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions, including securities trading on a stock exchange or meets certain revenue and asset requirements. The principal result or effect of being designated a “penny stock” is that securities broker-dealers participating in sales of our common stock will be subject to the “penny stock” regulations set forth in Rules 15g-2 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act. For example, Rule 15g-2 requires broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document at least two business days before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor’s account. Moreover, Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to: (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor’s financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult and time consuming for holders of our common stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them in the market or otherwise.
Consequently, these rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to trade and/or maintain a market in our common stock and may affect the ability of stockholders to sell their shares. These requirements may be considered cumbersome by broker-dealers and could impact the willingness of a particular broker-dealer to make a market in our shares, or they could affect the value at which our shares trade. Classification of our stock as a penny stock increases the risk of an investment in our shares.
(b) Holders
The Company had approximately 16 record holders of the common stock as of December 31, 2010 and approximately 43 record holders as of March 30, 2011. This does not include an indeterminate number of stockholders whose shares may be held by brokers in street name. The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of the common stock have no preemptive rights and no right to convert their common stock into any other securities. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock.
Our independent stock transfer agent is Island Stock Transfer which is located at 100 Second Avenue S., Suite 300N, St. Petersburg, Florida 33701.
(c) Dividends
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, for development of our business and therefore do not anticipate that we will declare or pay cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future.
7
(d) Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
None.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
In connection with the Acquisition (as described in Item 1 above), the Company issued an aggregate of 4,766,666 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 4,766,666 shares of common stock to certain investors on February 25, 2011 (the “Private Placement”). Each warrant has a three-year term and is exercisable at $0.60 per share and is redeemable by the Company in the event the Company’s common stock exceeds $3.00 for twenty of thirty trading days. The warrants are subject to standard anti-dilution protections. The Company granted the investors in the Private Placement piggy-back registration rights for the securities issued in the Private Placement. The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $1.4 million in the Private Placement. The securities issued in the Private Placement were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). These securities qualified for exemption under Rule 506 promulgated under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act since the issuance by the Company did not involve a “public offering” and each offeree was an “accredited investor.”
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers
None.
Item 6. Selected Financial Data
We are a smaller reporting company and therefore, we are not required to provide information required by this Item of Form 10-K.
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview
This discussion relates to the Company’s business as of December 31, 2010. For a description of our new business, please see the Current Report on Form 8-K we filed with the SEC on February March 3, 2011.
Atlas Therapeutics Corporation ("Atlas" or the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 11, 2007 and is a development stage company. Its principal business objective was to become a premier franchisor of retail shipping, postal, courier and business service centers by providing a wide range of convenient, value-added business services to consumers, mobile and traveling professionals and the small office/home office market.
The Company was founded based on the need of individuals and companies to have dependable, consistent and professional business service centers where they can obtain a wide variety of benefits such as packaging, shipping, copy and print assistance, mailbox locations, email retrieval, delivery and messenger couriers and convenient office supplies. It was our goal to become the most dependable, consistent and professional business service center available to the public. We recognized that each customer we would serve has different needs, requirements and concerns pertinent to their business. Our primary customer service goal was to tailor specific solutions to suit each particular customer’s needs and concerns. As of December 31, 2010, we had no operations and did not generate any revenues.
8
Management’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amount of reported assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the reported amounts of revenues and expenses and the valuation of our assets, income taxes and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions. We believe our estimates and assumptions to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Results of Operations
For the year ended December 31, 2010, we received revenues of $0, as compared to revenues of $0 in the same period in 2009. Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $28,795, as compared to $39,308 in the same period in 2009. The decrease in operating expenses was due to a decrease in general and administrative costs. Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $16,525, as compared to $39,308 in the same period in 2009.
Need for Additional Financing
In the event the Company is unable to establish sufficient operations in order to generate adequate operating capital during this period, it anticipates that additional financing may be required. There is no assurance, however, that should any additional financing be required, that such financing will be available, or if available, will be under adequate and reasonable terms. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities, our existing stockholders’ percentage ownership will be diluted. These equity securities may also have rights superior to our common stock. Additional debt or equity financing may not be available when needed or on satisfactory terms. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to expand our products and services as planned, respond to competition, pursue the development of our strategic business plan or continue our operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company remains in the development stage and has experienced no significant change in liquidity or capital resources or stockholder's equity. The Company's balance sheet as of December 31, 2010, reflects total assets of $0. The Company has minimal cash and no line of credit. The Company will carry out its strategic business plan, as discussed above, as effectively as reasonably possible. The Company cannot predict to what extent its liquidity and capital resources will be diminished or to what extent its capital will be further depleted by the operating losses (if any) of the business.
Given the recurring operating losses, accumulated deficit and the uncertainty as to whether we will be able to obtain additional financing, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Aggregate Contractual Obligations
None
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that we consider material.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company and therefore, we are not required to provide information required by this Item of Form 10-K.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
The Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010, and 2009, have been examined to the extent indicated in their reports by our independent registered accountants and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America pursuant to regulations promulgated by the SEC. The aforementioned financial statements are included herein under Item 15.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedure include, without limitations, 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 Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, an evaluation was completed by the Company’s President, Secretary and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s sole officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in providing reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:
· | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; |
· | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and |
· | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
10
As of December 31, 2010 management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (3) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our management in connection with the review of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2) and (3) above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Corporation's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Corporation's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Corporation to provide only the management's report in this annual report.
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we intend to create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives. We have also hired an internal consultant with accounting and financial reporting experience. We also plan to appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Committees
Our Board of Directors does not maintain a separate audit, nominating or compensation committee. Functions customarily performed by such committees are performed by our Board of Directors as a whole. We are not required to maintain such committees under the rules applicable to companies that do not have securities listed or quoted on a national securities exchange or national quotation system. If we are successful in listing our common stock on the NYSE Amex or the Nasdaq Capital Market, we would be required to have, prior to listing, an independent audit committee formed, in compliance with the requirements for such listing and in compliance with Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships between or among the directors, executive officers or persons nominated or chosen by our stockholders or us to become directors or executive officers.
Code of Ethics
We intend to adopt a code of ethics that applies to our officers, directors and employees. Upon adoption, we will file our code of ethics in a Current Report on Form 8-K. You will be able to review these documents by accessing our public filings at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, a copy of the code of ethics will be provided without charge upon request to us. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our code of ethics in a Current Report on Form 8-K.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
We do not have a standing audit committee or an audit committee financial expert serving on our Board of Directors. We believe, given the early stages of our development and our lack of operating history, that an audit committee financial expert is not necessary at the present time.
12

The Promissory Note is payable in two installments as follows: $350,000 plus accrued interest is due within 180 days after the closing date of the Purchase Agreement and $350,000 plus accrued interest is due on the first anniversary of the closing date of the Purchase Agreement.
In connection with the Purchase Agreement and the Promissory Note, the Company entered into a Security Agreement with Peak to secure payments due under the Promissory Note. Pursuant to the Security Agreement, the Company granted Peak a continuing security interest in the assets purchased from Peak. The Security Agreement also secures all of our obligations to Peak, whether related or unrelated to the Promissory Note. Upon an event of default of the Security Agreement, Peak will have all the rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Atlas Therapeutics Corporation
(formerly known as Marvin’s Place, Inc.)
Marina Del Rey, CA
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Atlas Therapeutics Corporation (formerly known as Marvin’s Place, Inc.) (A development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2010, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows from inception April 11, 2007 through December 31, 2010, and the period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audit 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a best basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made the management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Atlas Therapeutics Corporation (formerly known as Marvin’s Place, Inc.) (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2010 and the results of its operations, and its cash flows from inception April 11, 2007 through December 31, 2010, and the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010 and 2009
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization & Business Activities
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 11, 2007 to provide mailing & shipping services. The Company has not realized any revenues to date and therefore is classified as a development stage company.
Depreciation
The cost of property and equipment will be depreciated over the estimated useful life of 4 to 7 years. Depreciated is computed using the straight-line method when assets are placed in service.
Accounting Method
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a December 31 year-end.
Cash & Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be a cash equivalent.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of revenues & expenses during the reporting period.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when products are fully delivered or services have been provided, and collection is reasonably assured.
Advertising
The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. The Company has incurred no advertising costs from its inception.

Concentrations of Risk
The Company’s bank accounts are deposited in insured institutions. The funds are insured up to $250,000. At December 31, 2010, the Company’s bank deposits did not exceed the insured amounts.

Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases as well as operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent that the recoverability of the asset is unlikely to be recognized.
The Company follows ASC 740 rules governing uncertain tax positions, which provides guidance for recognition and measurement. This prescribes a threshold condition that a tax position must meet for any of the benefits of the uncertain tax position to be recognized in the financial statements. It also provides accounting guidance on derecognization, classification and disclosure of these uncertain tax positions. The Company has no uncertain income tax positions.
Interest costs and penalties related to income taxes are classified as interest expense and selling, general and administrative costs, respectively, in the Company's financial statements. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not recognize any interest or penalty expense related to income taxes. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and states in which it does business.

During April 2007, the Company sold 28,000,000 [2,000,000 before the 1to 14 split] shares of its common stock to its founders for cash of $5,000.

NOTE 3- RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In October 2009, the FASB amended guidance related to revenue recognition that did not have a material impact on the Company’s financials. Under the new guidance on arrangements that include software elements, tangible products that have software components that are essential to the functionality of the tangible product will no longer be within the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance, and software-enabled products will now be subject to other relevant revenue recognition guidance. Additionally, the FASB amended guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables that are outside the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance. Under the new guidance, when vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, a best estimate of the selling price is required to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. The new guidance includes new disclosure requirements on how the application of the relative selling price method affects the timing and amount of revenue recognition. Adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements
In December 2009, the FASB amended guidance related to fair value measurements and Disclosures. These amendments prescribe new disclosures and clarify certain existing disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The objective of the amendments was to improve these disclosures and, thus, increase the transparency in financial reporting. The adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

and consummated an Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Atlas Sub purchased certain intellectual property assets from Peak (the “Acquisition”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we acquired from Peak all intellectual property pertaining to MYO-T12, a natural-myostatin inhibitor, including the formula and process for making MYO-T12, certain trademarks,
trade secrets, patent applications and certain domain names. The purchase price for the assets was $1,150,000, of which $450,000 was paid in cash and $700,000 via the issuance of the Promissory Note.
In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued a secured promissory note to Peak (the “Promissory Note”) in the amount of $700,000 with interest accruing at an interest rate of 3% per annum. The Promissory Note is payable in two installments as follows: $350,000 plus accrued interest is due
within 180 days after the closing date of the Agreement and $350,000 plus accrued interest is due on the first anniversary of the closing date of the Agreement. Additionally, the Company issued 7,024,000 shares of Common Stock to Peak as part of the purchase price of MYO-T12, representing 12% of the fully diluted voting Common Stock of the Company.
In connection with the Purchase Agreement and the Promissory Note, the Company entered into a security agreement with Peak to secure payments due under the Promissory Note (the “Security Agreement”). Pursuant to the Security Agreement, the Company granted Peak a continuing security interest in the assets purchased from Peak. The Security Agreement also secures all of Company’s obligations to Peak, whether related or unrelated to the Promissory Note. Upon an event of default of the Security Agreement, Peak will have all the rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. On the Closing Date, new officers and a new director were appointed to serve the Company.

The Company issued an aggregate of 4,766,666 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 4,766,666 shares of common stock to certain investors on February 25, 2011 (the “Private Placement”). Each warrant had a three-year term and is exercisable at $0.60 per share and is redeemable by the Company in the event the Company common stock exceeds $3.00 for twenty of thirty trading days. The warrants are subject to standard anti-dilution protections. The Company granted the investors in the Private Placement piggy-back registration rights for the securities issued in the Private Placement. The Company received gross proceeds of $1,430,000 in the Private Placement.
