PART I
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Business Development and Summary
Coyote Hills Golf, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 8, 2007.
Our administrative office is located at 711 N. 81st Place, Mesa, AZ 85207.
Our fiscal year end is December 31.
Business of Issuer
Principal Products and Principal Markets
We are an online retailer of golf-related apparel, equipment and supplies. We primarily target male consumers aged 40 and over in the middle- to high-income ranges, among whom our management believes has the strongest interest in the game of golf. We consider this demographic group to have sufficient disposable income, are brand conscious and typically experience a moderate to high level of pressure to be early adopters of golf equipment. These factors make this an ideal target market for us. Although we plan to focus the bulk of our efforts toward attracting these consumers, our management also believes that golf is growing in popularity among the younger generations and among women due to the exposure and expansion of young professional talent in popular culture. Our management suspects this growth is occurring not just domestically, but also internationally, especially in Asian and European countries. To capitalize on the worldwide interest in golfing, we plan to offer a variety of merchandise via the Internet.
Our product mix currently includes golf shirts, which we sell to both enthusiasts and occasional participants alike. We outsource the printing and/or manufacture of any such garments and will not produce any item in-house. We will not manufacture or produce any golf merchandise internally. Antigua Group, Inc., based in Peoria, Arizona, a leading designed and marketer or sportswear, supplies our entire current inventory. Our apparel bears the name “Coyote Hills Golf” prominently on each piece.
Mitch Powers, our President, undertakes all merchandising activities. All products are purchased from third-party manufacturers and distributors.
Distribution Methods of the Products and Services
To fulfill customer orders for resale merchandise, we use general parcel services such as United Parcel Service, DHL and Federal Express, as well as the United States Postal Service.
4
Industry Background and Competition
We compete in the highly competitive and fragmented market for athletic goods and apparel in general, and for golf-related merchandise in specific. There are number existing competitors selling golf products that are identical or significantly similar to those we plan to market. Our management believes that national chains and mass-marketers that offer a large selection of merchandise compete directly, yet co-exist, with smaller companies that have a limited regional presence. We expect to compete with a number of retailers, which can be divided into the following groups:
1. | National mass-marketers, such as Wal-Mart and Target, offer golf-related items as a small segment compared to the amalgam of products available in their stores. These retailers usually have very limited selection and fewer major brand names and typically do not offer the customer service than is offered by specialty golf retailers. |
2. | National full-line sporting goods retailers, such as Dick's Sporting Goods, Sport Chalet and Sports Authority, offer a broad selection of brand name sporting goods and tend to be either anchor stores in strip or enclosed malls or in free-standing locations. Most full-line stores are able to accommodate a greater variety of name brands and provide greater customer interaction than mass-marketers do. |
3. | Specialty golf retailers include Golfsmith, Golf Galaxy and Nevada Bob's. These retailers also include golf course pro shops that often are single-store operations. Specialty golf store carry the broadest selection of golf-related merchandise, provide specialized customer service and offer a range of custom golf services. |
4. | We also expect to compete against retailers that sell merchandise via the Internet, which include Edwin Watts Golf Shops and Golf Warehouse. Products offered by these vendors are often competitively priced and the direct sales channel offers relative convenience to customers. Many of our competitors that operate physical stores also have websites to serve as an on-line extension of their business. |
Our management believes there exists a significant number of competitors selling relatively similar and competitively priced merchandise. In addition, the market for golf merchandise is characterized by the breadth and depth of product selection, brands carried in inventory, convenience and pricing. We are a start-up company without a base of operations and lacking an ability to generate sales. As such, our competitive position is unfavorable in the general marketplace. Unless we implement our planned operations and begin to generate revenues, we will not be able to maintain our operations.
Significantly all of our current and potential traditional competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer or user bases, greater brand recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do. Our competitors may be able to secure products from vendors on more favorable terms, fulfill customer orders more efficiently and adopt more aggressive pricing or inventory availability policies than we can. Traditional store-based retailers also enable customers to see and feel products in a manner that is not possible over the Internet. Many of these current and potential competitors can devote substantially more resources to Web site and systems development than we can. In addition, larger, more well-established and financed entities may acquire, invest in or form joint ventures with online competitors or golf supply retailers as the use of the Internet and other online services increases.
Sources and availability of raw materials and the names of principal suppliers
We do not procure any raw materials, nor do we manufacture any of the golf-related apparel or other equipment we sell or plan to sell. We do no manufacturing in-house and we have no plans to do so for the foreseeable future. To date, our entire salable inventory was manufactured by Antigua Group, Inc., in Peoria, Arizona. We have no other suppliers or distributors from which we expect to order additional inventory.
Need for Government Approval of Principal Products
While we believe we are and will be in substantial compliance with the laws and regulations which regulate our business, and that we possess all the licenses required in the conduct of our business, the failure to comply with any of those laws or regulations, or the imposition of new laws or regulations could negatively impact our proposed business.
5
Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations
We are not currently subject to direct federal, state or local regulation other than regulations applicable to businesses generally or directly applicable to retailing or electronic commerce. We do not currently provide individual personal information regarding our users to third parties and we currently do not identify registered users by age, nor do we expect to do so in the foreseeable future. The adoption of additional privacy or consumer protection laws could create uncertainty in Web usage and reduce the demand for our products and services or require us to redesign our web site.
Number of total employees and number of full time employees
We are currently in the development stage. During the development stage, we plan to rely exclusively on the services of Mitch Powers, President and director, and Stephanie Erickson, our Secretary, Treasurer and director, to set up our business operations. Both Mr. Powers and Ms. Erickson currently work for us on a part-time basis and each expects to devote approximately 10-20 hours per week to our business, or as needed. There are no other full- or part-time employees. We believe that our operations are currently on a small scale that is manageable by these individuals.
Reports to Security Holders
1. | We will furnish shareholders with annual financial reports certified by our independent registered public accountants. |
2. | We are a reporting issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We file periodic reports, which are required in accordance with Section 15(d) of the Securities Act of 1933, with the Securities and Exchange Commission to maintain the fully reporting status. |
3. | The public may read and copy any materials we file with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20002. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. Our SEC filings will be available on the SEC Internet site, located at http://www.sec.gov. |
RISK FACTORS
Our officers and directors work for us on a part-time basis. As a result, we may be unable to develop our business and manage our public reporting requirements.
Our operations depend on the efforts of Mitch Powers, our President and director, and Stephanie Erickson, our Secretary, Treasurer and director. Neither Mr. Powers nor Ms. Erickson has experience related to public company management, nor as a principal accounting officer. Because of this, we may be unable to offer and sell the shares in this offering and develop and manage our business. We cannot guarantee you that we will overcome any such obstacle.
Both Mr. Powers and Ms. Erickson are involved in other business opportunities and may face a conflict in selecting between Coyote Hills Golf and their other business interests. Namely, Red Mountain Ranch Country Club currently employs both Mr. Powers and Ms. Erickson. We have not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts. If we lose either or both Mr. Powers or Ms. Erickson to other pursuits without a sufficient warning we may, consequently, go out of business.
Investors may lose their entire investment if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
Coyote Hills Golf, Inc. was formed in January 2007. We have no demonstrable operations record, on which you can evaluate our business and prospects. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of development. These risks include, without limitation, competition, the absence of ongoing revenue streams, inexperienced management and lack of brand recognition. Coyote Hills Golf cannot guarantee that we will be successful in executing our proposed golf merchandising business. If we fail to implement and create a base of operations for our proposed business, we may be forced to cease operations, in which case investors may lose their entire investment.
6
We may not be able to attain profitability without additional funding, which may be unavailable.
We have limited capital resources. To date, we have not generated positive cash inflows from our operations. Unless we begin to generate sufficient revenues from our proposed business objective of selling a variety of golf merchandise to finance operations as a going concern, we may experience liquidity and solvency problems. Such liquidity and solvency problems may force us to go out of business if additional financing is not available. We have no intention of liquidating. In the event our cash resources are insufficient to continue operations, we intend to raise addition capital through offerings and sales of equity or debt securities. In the event we are unable to raise sufficient funds, we will be forced to go out of business and will be forced to liquidate. A possibility of such outcome presents a risk of complete loss of investment in our common stock.
Because of competitive pressures from competitors with more resources, Coyote Hills Golf may fail to implement its business model profitably.
The market for customers is intensely competitive and such competition is expected to continue to increase. We expect to compete with many companies in the golf product niche, or the market for golf merchandise in general, such as Cutter & Buck, Ashworth, Dick’s Sporting Goods and the numerous pro shops located at golf courses around the nation. Generally, our actual and potential competitors have longer operating histories, greater financial and marketing resources, greater name recognition and an entrenched client base. Therefore, many of these competitors may be able to devote greater resources to attracting customers and preferred vendor pricing. There can be no assurance that our current or potential competitors will not stock comparable or superior products to those to we expect to offer. Increased competition could result in lower than expected operating margins or loss of market share, any of which would materially and adversely affect our business, results of operation and financial condition.
A decline in the popularity of golf or the market for golf-related products and services will negatively impact our business.
We anticipate generating substantially all of our revenues from the sale of golf-related equipment and apparel. The demand for our products will be directly related to the popularity of golf, including the number of golf participants, the number of rounds of golf being played by these participants, and television viewership of and attendance at professional and other golf tournaments and events. If golf participation or golf rounds played significantly decreases, potential sales of our products could be materially adversely affected.
Failure by us to respond to changes in consumer preferences could result in lack of sales revenues and may force us out of business.
Any change in the preferences of golf enthusiasts that we fail to anticipate could reduce the demand for the golf-related products we intend to provide. Decisions about our focus and the specific products we plan to carry in inventory often are made in advance of distribution, and thus, consumers acquiring them. Failure to anticipate and respond to changes in consumer preferences and demands could lead to, among other things, customer dissatisfaction, failure to attract demand for our products, excess or obsolete inventories and lower profit margins.
We may be unable to obtain sufficient quantities of quality merchandise on acceptable commercial terms because we do not have long-term distribution and manufacturing agreements.
We intend to rely primarily on product manufacturers and third-party distributors to supply the products we plan to offer. Our business would be seriously harmed if we were unable to develop and maintain relationships with suppliers and distributors that allow us to obtain sufficient quantities of quality merchandise on acceptable terms. Additionally, we may be unable to establish alternative sources of supply for our products to ensure delivery of merchandise in a timely and efficient manner or on terms acceptable to us. If we cannot obtain and stock our products at acceptable prices and on a timely basis, we may lose sales and our potential customers may take their purchases elsewhere. Further, an increase in supply costs could cause our operating losses to increase beyond current expectations.
7
Our revenue and gross margin could suffer if we fail to manage our inventory properly.
Our business depends on our ability to anticipate our needs for our as yet unidentified products and suppliers’ ability to deliver sufficient quantities of products at reasonable prices on a timely basis. Given that we are in the development stage we may be unable to accurately anticipate demand and manage inventory levels that could seriously harm us. If predicted demand is substantially greater than consumer purchases, there will be excess inventory. In order to secure inventory, we may make advance payments to suppliers, or we may enter into non-cancelable commitments with vendors. If we fail to anticipate customer demand properly, a temporary oversupply could result in excess or obsolete inventory, which could adversely affect our gross margin.
Seasonality and fluctuations in our business could make it difficult for you to evaluate our operations on a period by period basis.
Our future operating results may fluctuate significantly from period to period due to our reliance on a sport with an intrinsic seasonality. Golfers are active primarily during the summer months, due to more temperate weather conditions, as opposed to spring and autumn golf activity being slightly lower and the winter months significantly lower. This seasonality, along with other factors that are beyond our control, including general economic conditions, changes in consumer behavior and periodic weather anomalies, could adversely affect our operations and cause our results of operations to fluctuate. Results of operations in any period should not be considered indicative of the results to be expected for any future period.
The sale of our products is also subject to substantial cyclical fluctuation. If our revenues in a particular quarter are lower than we anticipate, we may be unable to reduce spending in that quarter. As a result, any shortfall in revenues would likely adversely affect our quarterly operating results. Specifically, in order to attract and retain a larger customer base, we may plan to significantly increase our expenditures on sales and marketing, content development, technology and infrastructure. Many of these expenditures are planned or committed in advance and in anticipation of future revenues.
We may not be able to generate sales because consumers may choose not to shop online.
We may not be able to attract potential customers who shop in traditional retail stores to shop on our proposed web site. Furthermore, we may incur significantly higher and more sustained advertising and promotional expenditures than anticipated to attract online shoppers and to convert those shoppers into purchasing customers. As a result, we may not be able to achieve profitability, and even if we are successful at attracting online customers, we expect it could take several years to build a substantial customer base. Specific factors that could prevent widespread customer acceptance of our e-commerce solution include:
1. | Customer concerns about buying products without physically viewing or handling them; |
2. | Customer concerns about the security of online transactions and the privacy of their personal information; and |
3. | Difficulties in returning or exchanging items purchased through the website. |
Coyote Hills Golf may lose its top management without employment agreements.
Our operations depend substantially on the skills and experience of Mitch Powers, our President and director, and Stephanie Erickson, our Secretary, Treasurer and director. We have no other full- or part-time employees besides these individuals. Furthermore, we do not maintain key man life insurance on either of these two individuals. Without employment contracts, we may lose either or both of our officers and directors to other pursuits without a sufficient warning and, consequently, go out of business.
Both of our officers and directors are involved in other business opportunities and may face a conflict in selecting between our company and their other business interests. In the future, either Mr. Powers or Ms. Erickson may also become involved in other business opportunities. We have not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts. If we lose either or both of Mr. Powers or Ms. Erickson to other pursuits without a sufficient warning we may, consequently, go out of business.
8
Our internal controls may be inadequate, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the 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 generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) 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. Our internal controls may be inadequate or ineffective, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public. Investors relying upon this misinformation may make an uninformed investment decision.
The costs and expenses of SEC reporting and compliance may inhibit our operations.
After the effectiveness of this registration statement, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The costs of complying with such requirements may be substantial. In the event we are unable to establish a base of operations that generates sufficient cash flows or cannot obtain additional equity or debt financing, the costs of maintaining our status as a reporting entity may inhibit out ability to continue our operations.
Because our common stock is deemed a low-priced “Penny” stock, an investment in our common stock should be considered high risk and subject to marketability restrictions.
Since our common stock is a penny stock, as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act, it will be more difficult for investors to liquidate their investment even if and when a market develops for the common stock. Until the trading price of the common stock rises above $5.00 per share, if ever, trading in the common stock is subject to the penny stock rules of the Securities Exchange Act specified in rules 15g-1 through 15g-10. Those rules require broker-dealers, before effecting transactions in any penny stock, to:
1. | Deliver to the customer, and obtain a written receipt for, a disclosure document; |
2. | Disclose certain price information about the stock; |
3. | Disclose the amount of compensation received by the broker-dealer or any associated person of the broker-dealer; |
4. | Send monthly statements to customers with market and price information about the penny stock; and |
5. | In some circumstances, approve the purchaser’s account under certain standards and deliver written statements to the customer with information specified in the rules. |
Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell the common stock and may affect the ability of holders to sell their common stock in the secondary market and the price at which such holders can sell any such securities. These additional procedures could also limit our ability to raise additional capital in the future.
9
FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability! to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
Our internal controls may be inadequate, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the 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 generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.
Coyote Hills Golf, Inc. uses office space at 711 N. 81st Place, Mesa, AZ 85207. Ms. Erickson, our Secretary, Treasurer and Director, is providing the office space, located at Ms. Erickson’s primary residence, at no charge to us. We believe that this arrangement is suitable given that our current operations are primarily administrative. We also believe that we will not need to lease additional administrative offices for at least the next 12 months. There are currently no proposed programs for the renovation, improvement or development of the facilities we currently use.
Our management does not currently have policies regarding the acquisition or sale of real estate assets primarily for possible capital gain or primarily for income. We do not presently hold any investments or interests in real estate, investments in real estate mortgages or securities of or interests in persons primarily engaged in real estate activities.

PART II
MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS MARKET INFORMATION FOR COMMON STOCK
Market information
Effective July 18, 2008, the Company has been approved for listing on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "CYHF". As of the date of this annual report, no public market in our common stock has yet developed and there can be no assurance that a meaningful trading market will subsequently develop. We make no representation about the value of our common stock.
Holders
As of the date of this annual report, Coyote Hills Golf, Inc. has approximately 10,300,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock issued and outstanding held by three shareholders of record. Our Transfer Agent is Holladay Stock Transfer, Inc., 2939 N. 67th Place, Suite C, Scottsdale, Arizona 85251, phone (480) 481-3940.
Dividends
Coyote Hills Golf, Inc. has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock. For the foreseeable future, Coyote Hills Golf intends to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of its business, and it does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on its common stock. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be dependent upon then existing conditions, including Coyote Hills Golf’ financial condition and results of operations, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, business prospects and other factors that the board of directors considers relevant.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
In January 2007, we issued 5,000,000 shares of our common stock to Stephanie Lynn Erickson, our founding shareholder and an officer and director. We issued another 5,000,000 shares of our common stock to Mitch Powers, another founding shareholder and an officer and director. These sales of stock did not involve any public offering, general advertising or solicitation. The shares were issued in exchange for services performed by the founding shareholders on our behalf in the amount of $10,000. Both received compensation in the form of common stock for performing services related to the formation and organization of our Company, including, but not limited to, designing and implementing a business plan and providing administrative office space for use by the Company; thus, these shares are considered to have been provided as founder’s shares. Additionally, the services are considered to have been donated, and have resultantly been expensed and recorded as a contribution to capital. At the time of the issuance, Ms. Erickson and Mr. Powers had fair access to and were in possession of all available material information about our company, as they are officers and directors of Coyote Hills Golf, Inc. The shares bear a restrictive transfer legend. Based on these facts, we claim that the issuance of stock to our founding shareholder qualifies for the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
On March 28, 2007, we sold 300,000 shares of our common stock to Kamiar Khatami, a non-related individual. The shares were issued at a price of $0.02 per share for total cash in the amount of $15,000. The shares bear a restrictive transfer legend. At the time of the issuance, Mr. Khatami was provided fair access to and was in possession of all available material information about our company. On the basis of these facts, we claim that the issuance of stock to Mr. Khatami qualifies for the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis
Coyote Hills Golf, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on January 8, 2007. We are attempting to establish ourselves as an online retailer of golf-related apparel, equipment and supplies, primarily targeting male consumers aged 40 and over in the middle- to high-income ranges. We consider this demographic group to have sufficient disposable income, to be brand conscious and typically experience a moderate to high level of pressure to be early adopters of golf equipment. These factors make this an ideal target market for us.
To date, we purchased $4,085 in beginning inventory, consisting of golf apparel for men and women. With the website at www.CoyoteHillsGolf.net functional and with saleable inventory on-hand, we began to realize sales during the third quarter of 2008. For the year ended December 31, 2008, we generated total revenues of $510, as opposed to $0 in the period from January 8, 2007 (inception) to December 31, 2007. While minimal, because our logo and brand name appears on the products we sell, we believe exposure of the products sold will begin to generate word of mouth and brand awareness. We do not have any long-term agreements to supply our apparel to any one customer. We have no recurring customers and have no ongoing revenue sources.
In association with sales of our golf apparel, we incurred cost of goods sold in the amount of $491 during the year ended December 31, 2008. This amount represents a gross margin of approximately 4% on sales of our products and resulted in a gross profit of $19 during such period. During the comparison period January 8, 2007 to December 31, 2007, cost of goods totaled $491, contributing to a gross profit of $19. Since our inception to December 31, 2008, cost of goods sold totaled $491. After factoring in cost of goods sold, our gross profit was $19, for a historical gross margin of 4%.
In the execution of our business, we incur depreciation expense and various general and administrative costs. General and administrative expenses mainly consist of office expenditures and accounting and legal fees. During the year ended December 31, 2008, we spent $38,067, consisting of $181 in depreciation expense on our computer equipment and $37,886 in general and administrative expenses. In the comparable period from our inception to December 31, 2007, we incurred $18,974 in total expenses, made up of general and administrative expenses in the amount of $8,974 and executive compensation of $10,000, related specifically to the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of common stock to our two officers and directors for services rendered
Aggregate operating expenses from our inception through December 31, 2008 were $57,041, of which $181 is attributable to depreciation expense, $10,000 in executive compensation paid in the form of shares common stock issued to our two officers and directors for services rendered and $46,860 in general and administrative expenses related to the execution of our business plan. No development related expenses have been or will be paid to our affiliates. We expect to continue to incur general and administrative expenses for the foreseeable future, although we cannot estimate the extent of these costs.
12
As a result of our minimal level of revenues and incurring ongoing expenses related to the implementation of our business, we have experienced net losses in all periods since our inception on January 8, 2007. In the year ended December 31, 2008, our net loss totaled $38,093, compared to a net loss of $18,974 in the prior period from January 8, 2007 to December 31, 2007. Since our inception, we have accumulated net losses in the amount of $57,067. We anticipate incurring ongoing operating losses and cannot predict when, if at all, we may expect these losses to plateau or narrow. We have not been profitable from our inception through the year ended December 31, 2008. There is significant uncertainty projecting future profitability due to our history of losses, lack of revenues, and due to our reliance on the performance of third parties on which we have no direct control.
In order for us to achieve profitability and support our planned ongoing operations, we estimate that we must begin generating a minimum of $40,000 sales in the next 12 months. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that we will generate additional sales, let alone achieve that target. Our management has identified increasing exposure of our website as our top priority for the next twelve months to assist us in reaching our goal of $50,000 in sales.
Our management expects that we will experience net cash out-flows through at least fiscal year 2009, given developmental nature of our business. We have only recently begun to accumulate an inventory of golf-related merchandise for sale and have not yet developed any advertising or marketing campaign to generate awareness of our brand and website. We believe that our cash on hand as of December 31, 2008, in the amount of $3,203, is insufficient to maintain our operations for the next approximately 12 months. If we do not generate sufficient revenues and cash flows to support our operations over the next 12 months, or if our costs of operations increase unexpectedly, we may need to raise capital by conducting additional issuances of our equity or debt securities for cash. We can not assure you that any financing can be obtained or, if obtained, that it will be on reasonable terms. As such, our principal accountants have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern because we have limited operations and have not fully commenced planned principal operations.
Our management does not anticipate the need to hire additional full- or part- time employees over the next 12 months, as the services provided by our current officers and directors appear sufficient at this time. Our officers and directors work for us on a part-time basis, and are prepared to devote additional time, as necessary. We do not expect to hire any additional employees over the next 12 months.
No development related expenses have been or will be paid to our affiliates.
Our management does not expect to incur research and development costs.
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
We currently do not own any significant plant or equipment that we would seek to sell in the near future.
We have not paid for expenses on behalf of our directors. Additionally, we believe that this fact shall not materially change.
We currently do not have any material contracts and or affiliations with third parties.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Coyote Hills Golf, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Coyote Hills Golf, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008 for the periods from inception on January 8, 2007 through December 31, 2007 and 2008. 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 conduct our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Coyote Hills Golf, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the periods from inception on January 8, 2007 through December 31, 2007 and 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $57,067, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1 – History and organization of the company
The Company was organized January 8, 2007 (Date of Inception) under the laws of the State of Nevada, as Coyote Hills Golf, Inc. The Company is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of its common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share.
The business of the Company is to sell golf apparel and equipment via the Internet. The Company has limited operations and in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7 (SFAS #7), “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises,” the Company is considered a development stage company.
Note 2 – Accounting policies and procedures
Use of 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 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.
Cash and cash equivalents |
The Company maintains a cash balance in a non-interest-bearing account that currently does not exceed federally insured limits. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Concentrations of Risks: Cash Balances |
The Company maintains its cash in institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). This government corporation insured balances up to $100,000 through October 13, 2008. As of October 14, 2008 all non-interest bearing transaction deposit accounts at an FDIC-insured institution, including all personal and business checking deposit accounts that do not earn interest, are fully insured for the entire amount in the deposit account. This unlimited insurance coverage is temporary and will remain in effect for participating institutions until December 31, 2009.
All other deposit accounts at FDIC-insured institutions are insured up to at least $250,000 per depositor until December 31, 2009. On January 1, 2010, FDIC deposit insurance for all deposit accounts, except for certain retirement accounts, will return to at least $100,000 per depositor. Insurance coverage for certain retirement accounts, which include all IRA deposit accounts, will remain at $250,000 per depositor.
Inventory
Inventories consist of merchandise held for sale in the ordinary course of business, including cost of freight and other miscellaneous acquisition costs, and are stated at the lower of cost, or market determined on the first-in-first-out basis. The Company records a write-down for inventories which have become obsolete or are in excess of anticipated demand or net realizable value. The Company performs a detailed review of inventory each period that considers multiple factors including demand forecasts, market conditions, product life cycle status, product development plans and current sales levels. If future demand or market conditions for the Company’s products are less favorable than forecasted or if unforeseen changes negatively impact the utility of the Company’s inventory, it may be required to record additional write-downs which would negatively impact gross margins in the period when the write-downs are recorded. If actual market conditions are more favorable, the Company may have higher gross margins when products incorporating inventory that was previously written down are sold. All of the inventory is finished goods ready for sale.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or is impaired. No such impairments have been identified by management at December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Note 2 – Accounting policies and procedures (continued)
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue and gains when earned and related costs of sales and expenses when incurred.
Advertising costs
The Company expenses all costs of advertising as incurred. There were no advertising costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses at December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold consists of the purchase price of products sold, inbound and outbound shipping charges, packaging supplies and costs associated with revenues and marketplace business. The purchase price of the products, outbound shipping charges and the cost of tangible supplies used to package products for shipment to customers totaled $491 and $0 during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Loss per share
Net loss per share is provided in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS #128) “Earnings Per Share”. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing losses available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company had no dilutive common stock equivalents, such as stock options or warrants as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Reporting on the costs of start-up activities |
Statement of Position 98-5 (SOP 98-5), “Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities,” which provides guidance on the financial reporting of start-up costs and organizational costs, requires most costs of start-up activities and organizational costs to be expensed as incurred. SOP 98-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. With the adoption of SOP 98-5, there has been little or no effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash and payables because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.
Income Taxes
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No. 109”) for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.
Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
General and administrative expenses
The significant components of general and administrative expenses consists solely of legal and professional fees.

Segment reporting
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”. The Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.
Dividends |
The Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid or declared since inception.
Recent pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarified the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim period, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on our balance sheet or statement of operations.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff (“SEC”) issued SAB 108. SAB 108 was issued to provide consistency to how companies quantify financial statement misstatements. SAB 108 establishes an approach that requires companies to quantify misstatements in financial statements based on effects of the misstatement on both the consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations and the related financial statement disclosures. Additionally, companies must evaluate the cumulative effect of errors existing in prior years that previously had been considered immaterial. We adopted SAB 108 in connection with the preparation of our annual financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and found no adjustments necessary.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, rather, its application will be made pursuant to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 1007, and interim periods within those years. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are to be applied proactively upon adoption, except for limited specified exemptions. We are evaluating the requirements of SFAS No. 157 and do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our balance sheet or statement of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB, issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This standard permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This option is available to all entities. Most of the provisions in FAS 159 are elective; however, an amendment to FAS 115 Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities applies to all entities with available for sale or trading securities. Some requirements apply differently to entities that do not report net income. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entities first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the previous fiscal year provided that the entity makes that choice in the first 120 days of that fiscal year and also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 159 beginning March 1, 2008 and is evaluating the potential impact the adoption of this pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Recent pronouncements (Continued)
In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 110 regarding the use of a "simplified" method, as discussed in SAB No. 107 (SAB 107), in developing an estimate of expected term of "plain vanilla" share options in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (R), Share-Based Payment. In particular, the staff indicated in SAB 107 that it will accept a company's election to use the simplified method, regardless of whether the company has sufficient information to make more refined estimates of expected term. At the time SAB 107 was issued, the staff believed that more detailed external information about employee exercise behavior (e.g., employee exercise patterns by industry and/or other categories of companies) would, over time, become readily available to companies. Therefore, the staff stated in SAB 107 that it would not expect a company to use the simplified method for share option grants after December 31, 2007. The staff understands that such detailed information about employee exercise behavior may not be widely available by December 31, 2007. Accordingly, the staff will continue to accept, under certain circumstances, the use of the simplified method beyond December 31, 2007. The Company currently uses the simplified method for “plain vanilla” share options and warrants, and will assess the impact of SAB 110 for fiscal year 2009. It is not believed that this will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51. This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Before this statement was issued, limited guidance existed for reporting noncontrolling interests. As a result, considerable diversity in practice existed. So-called minority interests were reported in the consolidated statement of financial position as liabilities or in the mezzanine section between liabilities and equity. This statement improves comparability by eliminating that diversity. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (that is, January 1, 2009, for entities with calendar year-ends). Earlier adoption is prohibited. The effective date of this statement is the same as that of the related Statement 141 (revised 2007). The Company will adopt this Statement beginning March 1, 2009. It is not believed that this will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB, issued FAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations’. This Statement replaces FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations, but retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141. This Statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: (a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; (b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and (c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. An entity may not apply it before that date. The effective date of this statement is the same as that of the related FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company will adopt this statement beginning March 1, 2009. It is not believed that this will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. This standard requires companies to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company has not yet adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 161, but does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 2 – Accounting policies and procedures (continued)
Recent pronouncements (Continued)
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. SFAS No. 162 sets forth the level of authority to a given accounting pronouncement or document by category. Where there might be conflicting guidance between two categories, the more authoritative category will prevail. SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days after the SEC approves the PCAOB’s amendments to AU Section 411 of the AICPA Professional Standards. SFAS No. 162 has no effect on the Company’s financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this time.
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-and interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60”. SFAS No. 163 clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement of premium revenue and claims liabilities. This statement also requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. SFAS No. 163 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. SFAS No. 163 has no effect on the Company’s financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this time.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities, (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). FSP EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting, and therefore need to be included in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class method as described in FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and earlier adoption is prohibited. We are not required to adopt FSP EITF 03-6-1; neither do we believe that FSP EITF 03-6-1 would have material effect on our consolidated financial position and results of operations if adopted.
Year end
The Company has adopted December 31 as its fiscal year end.
Note 3 - Going concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of ($57,067) and had sales of $510 for the period from January 8, 2007 (inception) to December 31, 2008. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of its new business opportunities.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.

Note 4 – Fixed assets
Fixed assets consisted of the following:
December 31, | ||||||||
2008 | 2007 | |||||||
Computer equipment | $ | 1,049 | $ | - | ||||
Accumulated depreciation | (181 | ) | - | |||||
$ | 868 | $ | - |
During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded depreciation expense of $181 and $0, respectively.
Note 5 – Income taxes
For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company incurred net operating losses and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had approximately $57,067 and $18,974 of federal and state net operating losses, respectively. The net operating loss carryforwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2027.
The components of the Company’s deferred tax asset are as follows:
December 31, | ||||||||
2008 | 2007 | |||||||
Deferred tax assets: | ||||||||
Net operating loss carryforwards | 19,403 | 6,451 | ||||||
Valuation allowance | (19,403 | ) | (6,451 | ) | ||||
Total deferred tax assets | $ | -0- | $ | -0- |
For financial reporting purposes, the Company has incurred a loss in each period since its inception. Based on the available objective evidence, including the Company’s history of losses, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company provided for a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Note 6 – Stockholders’ equity
The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock.

On February 8, 2007, an officer and director of the Company donated cash in the amount of $100. The entire amount is considered to be additional paid-in capital.
On March 28, 2007, the Company issued 300,000 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock for subscriptions receivable of $15,000 in a private transaction to one shareholder. In April 2007, the subscriptions receivable was satisfied and the entire $15,000 was received in cash.

On February 8, 2007, an officer, director and shareholder of the Company donated cash in the amount of $100. The full amount has been donated and is not expected to be repaid and is thus categorized as additional paid-in capital.
The Company does not lease or rent any property. Office services are provided without charge by an officer and director of the Company. Such costs are immaterial to the financial statements and, accordingly, have not been reflected therein. The officers and directors of the Company are involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities. If a specific business opportunity becomes available, such persons may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and their other business interests. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that this information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based upon their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.
Our Board of Directors were advised by Moore & Associates, Chartered, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, that during their performance of audit procedures for 2008 Moore & Associates, Chartered identified a material weakness as defined in Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Standard No. 2 in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
This deficiency consisted primarily of inadequate staffing and supervision that could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters and failure to perform timely and effective reviews. However, the size of the Company prevents us from being able to employ sufficient resources to enable us to have adequate segregation of duties within our internal control system. Management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Management’s Annual 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:
1. | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; |
2. | 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 |
3. | 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.
28
As of December 31, 2008, 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 due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, 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 Chief Executive Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of December 31, 2008.
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.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
OTHER INFORMATION
None.

The Company does not currently have a written audit committee charter or similar document.
We have no financial expert. We believe the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. Further, because of our start-up operations, we believe the services of a financial expert are not warranted.
30
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership of our securities with the SEC on Forms 3 (Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership), 4 (Statement of Changes of Beneficial Ownership of Securities) and 5 (Annual Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities). Directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of our Common Stock are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file. As a company with securities registered under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our common stock are not required to file Section 16(a) reports.
Code of Ethics
We have not adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions in that our sole officer and director serves in all the above capacities.
Corporate Governance
Nominating Committee
We do not have a Nominating Committee or Nominating Committee Charter. Our sole Director performs some of the functions associated with a Nominating Committee. We have elected not to have a Nominating Committee in that we are a development stage company.
Director Nomination Procedures
Nominees for Directors are identified and suggested by the members of the Board or management using their business networks. The Board has not retained any executive search firms or other third parties to identify or evaluate director candidates and does not intend to in the near future. In selecting a nominee for director, the Board or management considers the following criteria:
1. | Whether the nominee has the personal attributes for successful service on the Board, such as demonstrated character and integrity; experience at a strategy/policy setting level; managerial experience dealing with complex problems; an ability to work effectively with others; and sufficient time to devote to our affairs; |
2. | Whether the nominee has been the chief executive officer or senior executive of a public company or a leader of a similar organization, including industry groups, universities or governmental organizations; |
3. | Whether the nominee, by virtue of particular experience, technical expertise or specialized skills or contacts relevant to our current or future business, will add specific value as a Board member; and |
4. | Whether there are any other factors related to the ability and willingness of a new nominee to serve, or an existing Board member to continue his service. |
The Board or management has not established any specific minimum qualifications that a candidate for director must meet in order to be recommended for Board membership. Rather, the Board or management will evaluate the mix of skills and experience that the candidate offers, consider how a given candidate meets the Board’s current expectations with respect to each such criterion and make a determination regarding whether a candidate should be recommended to the stockholders for election as a Director. During 2008, we received no recommendation for Directors from our stockholders.
We will consider for inclusion in our nominations of new Board of Directors nominees proposed by stockholders who have held at least 1% of our outstanding voting securities for at least one year. Board candidates referred by such stockholders will be considered on the same basis as Board candidates referred from other sources. Any stockholder who wishes to recommend for our consideration a prospective nominee to serve on the Board of Directors may do so by giving the candidate’s name and qualifications in writing to our Secretary at the following address: 711 N. 81st Place, Mesa, Arizona 85207.
