DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Report”) contains ‘‘forward-looking statements’’ that represent our beliefs, projections and predictions about future events. All statements other than statements of historical fact are ‘‘forward-looking statements’’, including any projections of earnings, revenue or other financial items, any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations, any statements concerning proposed new projects or other developments, any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance, any statements of management’s beliefs, goals, strategies, intentions and objectives, and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Words such as ‘‘may’’, ‘‘will’’, ‘‘should’’, ‘‘could’’, ‘‘would’ 6;, ‘‘predicts’’, ‘‘potential’’, ‘‘continue’’, ‘‘expects’’, ‘‘anticipates’’, ‘‘future’’, ‘‘intends’’, ‘‘plans’’, ‘‘believes’’, ‘‘estimates’’ and similar expressions, as well as statements in the future tense, identify forward-looking statements.
These statements are necessarily subjective and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements described in or implied by such statements. Actual results may differ materially from expected results described in our forward-looking statements, including with respect to correct measurement and identification of factors affecting our business or the extent of their likely impact, the accuracy and completeness of the publicly available information with respect to the factors upon which our business strategy is based or the success of our business. Furthermore, industry forecasts are likely to be inaccurate, especially over long periods of time. Factors that may cause actual results, our performance or achievements, or industry results, to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include without limitation:

·
our growth strategies;

·
our future results of operations;
·

the ability of management to formulate our goals and execute our business plans to attain the goals;
·
general economic, technological, political and geopolitical factors that may negatively affect our business operations.
Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether, or the times by which, our performance or results may be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time those statements are made and management’s belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those factors discussed under the heading ‘‘Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations’’, and elsewhere in this report.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2009 – (UNAUDITED)
Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization.
Gold Star Tutoring Services, Inc. ("we", "us" or "our company") was incorporated in the State of Florida on December 10, 2007 primarily to engage in providing a wide range of tutoring services to underachieving students in the South Florida counties of Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade.
Nature of Operations.
.
During the three months ending June 30, 2009 the Company continued providing the tutoring services of its President which we began providing in June 2008; we continue to refine our business plan - taking into account the current economic conditions. From our inception we have otherwise had limited operations including our initial share issuances, pre-incorporation planning, sale of shares to investors, the filing on April 8, 2008 with the SEC of our Exchange Act registration on Form 10-12g, and the filing of our initial registration under the Securities Act on form S-1 on November 6, 2008 - which registration was declared effective by the SEC as of November 20, 2008. The Company did not and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by Selling Shareholders, when, as and if they sell any of their registered shares. As a reporting company with nominal assets and minimal business operations we are classified as a “shell” company under Exchange Act §12b-2. Until such time as we satisfy the conditions imposed under Rule 144(i)(2) our shareholders who own unregistered shares, or who may purchase unregistered shares in the future, shall not be eligible to use the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144. There is no assurance that the Company will ever be able to satisfy the Rule 144 conditions.
Development Stage Company
The Company is a development stage company as defined by FASB Statement No. 7. The Company is devoting substantially all of its present efforts to establishing a viable business. All losses accumulated since inception has been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.
Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.
Because the Company is a development stage company with minimal revenues, limited operations and limited assets there can be no assurance that upon implementing our business plan, we will be successful; or that we will start producing sufficient revenues to maintain our operations. The Company's ability to execute its business plan will depend on its ability to obtain additional funding and achieve a profitable level of operations. There can be no assurance that sufficient funding will be obtained. Nor can the Company give any assurance that it will generate substantial revenues or that its business operations will prove to be profitable. The foregoing matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
The Company raised its initial working capital through the sale of Common shares to four individuals, in non-public transactions pursuant to Sections 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Management is considering raising additional working capital through an initial public offering. We continue to evaluate our ability to seek additional private funding, through equity and or debt financing.

Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Interim Financial Statements.
The unaudited interim financial statements as of June 30, 2009, for the six months and the three months ended June 30, 2009 and the cumulative period from December 10, 2007 (inception) to June 30, 2009 have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) including Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The company believes that the disclosures provided are adequ ate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and explanatory notes for the year ended December 31, 2008 and for the period from December 10, 2007 (inception) to December 31, 2007 as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 26, 2009. The results for the three months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the pending full year ending December 31, 2009.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when all of the following have occurred: (1) the Company has entered into an arrangement with a customer; (2) delivery of service has occurred; (3) the customer fee is fixed or determinable and free of contingencies and significant uncertainties; and (4) the fee has been collected or is probable of being collected.
Use of Estimates
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and, accordingly, require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes following the asset and liability method in accordance with statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Under the asset and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS 109, 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.
As of December 31, 2008, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize any deferred tax assets arising from its net operating loss and has provided a valuation allowance against the entire balance.

Note 1 - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Cash: Concentration of Credit Risk
We maintain our cash in a bank deposit account, which is federally insured.
Net Loss Per Share
We use SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" for calculating the basic and diluted loss per share. We compute basic loss per share by dividing net loss and net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential shares had been issued and if the additional shares were dilutive. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of net loss per share if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and accounts payable, approximate their fair value because of their relatively short maturities.
Note 2. - Provision For Income Taxes
SFAS 109 provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is more likely than not. Based upon the weight of available evidence, which includes the Company's historical operating performance and the reported cumulative net losses in prior years, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets.
Utilization of some of the net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to substantial annual limitations due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating loss carryforwards before utilization. The net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $48,000 as of June 30, 2009 will expire on various dates in 2029. The Company is taxable as a C Corporation under the Internal Revenue Service Code. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities for federal and state tax purposes are as follows:
| | |
| June 30, 2009 |
Total deferred tax asset | $ | 18,000 |
Valuation allowance | | (18,000) |
Net deferred tax asset | $ | -0- |
Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. (FIN) 48, “Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes”, an interpretation of SFAS No. 109. FIN 8 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”

June 30, 2009 – (UNAUDITED)
Note 3 - Stockholders’ Equity.
On May 29, 2009 the Board of Directors declared a 400% stock dividend, payable to shareholders of record on that date. This action increased the issued and outstanding shares from 2,400,000 shares to a total of 12,000,000, effective immediately.
On June 22, 2009 the Board accepted the capital contribution of the cash sum of $2,200 from our corporate Secretary, a director and control shareholder. No additional shares have been granted or made issuable pursuant to the latter contribution. Further, to help the Company obtain working capital, the Board contemporaneously approved the sale of up to 2,000,000 shares of authorized and unissued common shares, at a price to be determined.
Note 4 - Related Party Transactions.
From its inception through April 30, 2008, the Company operated from the residence of its controlling shareholders at no cost. There was no compensation paid to officers of the Company during the period covered by these financial statements. Effective as of May 1, 2008, the Board of Directors approved a Resolution to pay to the principal shareholder and officers a monthly rent of $550 plus $150 for utilities and use of computer equipment, in consideration of the use of their residence for operations of the Company, including providing facilities for use in rendering tutoring services to clients. This arrangement is subject to cancellation without notice or penalty. Currently Mindy Kline, our President provides all of the tutoring services rendered by the Company, in exchange for expense reimbursement. We anticipate that at some point in time, she will receive monetary compensation for her future services when rendered, as the Board of Dir ectors shall determine.
Note 5 - Incentive Stock Option and Stock Issuance Plan.
The Company established an Incentive Stock Issuance Plan (the “Plan”) to provide eligible persons in the Company’s employ or service with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest, or otherwise increase their proprietary interest in the Company as an incentive to remain with the Company. The Plan is divided into two equity programs: (1) the option grant program under which eligible persons may be granted options to purchase common stock and (2) the stock issuance program under which eligible persons may be issued shares of common stock directly, either through the immediate purchase of such shares or as a bonus for services rendered to the Company. The Company’s Board of Directors shall fix the exercise price per share and terms at the time of the option grant.
The maximum number of shares, which may be issued under the Plan, shall not exceed 1,000,000 shares. The Board of Directors has not authorized the issuance of any stock options or common shares pursuant to the Plan as of the date of the financial statements.

ITEM 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results Operations.
Gold Star Tutoring Services, Inc., (“Gold Star”, "GST", "We", "Our" or “the Company") was organized under the laws of the State of Florida on December 10, 2007; and is presently a developmental stage enterprise with no operating history.
We are in the initial stage of developing an educational instructional tutoring service- initially in Palm Beach County, Florida. We have reservedwww.goldstartutors.net for our Company website to be used for advertising and promotional purposes as well as to offer specialized educational programs and instructional aids.
We currently have no employees, and are dependent solely upon the efforts, abilities, business generation capabilities and project execution of our two executive officers to conduct our business and generate revenues; if we lose the services of either or both of them it could severely affect our ability to fully develop our educational tutoring business.
Our plan is to offer individualized tutoring to students from pre-school through high school offering FCAT and SAT preparation. We expect to offer services to both the general and special education student populations. The company’s services will be provided by highly trained and experienced teachers and former teachers who are trained, qualified and in some cases certified in the specific educational areas that are required by the students. Tutoring will be done from the company’s office as well as our by staff and management making house calls to best meet the individual student’s needs.
We have limited funding at the present time, and expect that future expansion of the services which we anticipate offering will require significant private and or public financing, in the form of debt and or equity capital. Pending attaining a sufficient level of working capital we expect to conduct operations on a small scale, i.e., with a minimal number of tutors available to provide basic tutoring services in our target market.
As a development stage entity, we have had minimal revenues since our inception. As we anticipated we received minimal operating revenues during this report period.
Our plan of operation has been to:
1.
Seek additional private and or public working capital financing;
2.
Develop our 12g “reporting” status by seeking sponsorship by a market maker to create a trading market for our shares to enhance our ability to raise working capital funding, and to attract and retain qualified tutors and other employees;
3.
Develop our proprietary Internet website.
4.
Develop our marketing plan to advertise and promote our tutoring services, among teaching professionals and our targeted client base.
We anticipate as our working capital position is enhanced that we will begin to conduct our tutoring operations from either a retail storefrontLearning Center, or an office location in Palm Beach County, Florida. Whether we acquire an operating facility or create our own, we expect that it will be a modern and attractive technologically equipped atmosphere, which enables students to have a positive experience while augmenting their learning abilities.
Taking into account the current economic and market conditions we continue to evaluate the likelihood of our conducting a registered initial public offering of our common stock during 2009. No assurances are intended that any private or public funding will be available to us, or if available that it would be available on terms favorable to us. Our inability to raise the required working capital funds will prevent us from effectuating the proposed marketing efforts, and may cause us to cease operations.

There are many individuals, firms, and other business entities, that are engaged in the private educational tutoring services business. Based upon available financing for advertising, marketing and promotion of services, the number of persons in management and other employees, combined with the experience of conducting a successful tutoring business we presently we are an insignificant entity in our chosen business and we expect that we shall remain so for the near future.
As a fully reporting company under the Exchange Act we are obligated to provide our shareholders with audited annual reports on Form 10-K and unaudited reviewed quarterly statements on Form 10-Q. As soon as our website it operating we intend to make all reports filed by us available at www.Goldstartutors.net; as well as on the SEC's website (www.sec.gov); and such reports will be available at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20549. The public may obtain information regarding operation of the Public Reference Room by calling 1 800-SEC-0330.
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We do not invest, either for trading or any other purpose, in market risk sensitive instruments of any kind.
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were effective at a reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent or detect all errors or fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur.
