PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
General
We were incorporated in August of 2007 in the State of Nevada. Our business office is located at PO Box 8851, Rocky Mount, NC 27804. This location is also the warehousing facility for worldwide distribution of our products. Our main telephone number is 252-407-7784. On September 13, 2007, we consummated an agreement with Universal Product Marketing, Inc., pursuant to which Universal Product Marketing, Inc. exchanged all of its shares for 4,000,000 shares of our common stock and Universal Products Marketing, Inc. became our wholly owned subsidiary.
We were incorporated to acquire, manufacture, import, market and sell, through its wholly-owned subsidiary (Universal Products Marketing, Inc.) a patented vehicular maintenance (time and money-saving) mechanical technology known as the Turn-Key Tool. The previous owners of this technology manufactured the product and began to test market the product in 2006. We will sell this product to end consumers in seven (7) ways, emphasizing strategic channel partners and resellers already established in these markets.
Currently, we lack sufficient capital to take advantage of opportunities to implement our business model. Proceeds from this private placement will fund our new go-to-market strategy, which focuses on the seven initiatives set forth later in this Circular. The information contained herein related to our operations is forward looking.
Products. We will offer high-quality Turn-Key Tool devices marketed to discriminating consumers under the brand name Turn-Key ToolTM.
Our product allows the elimination of extra personnel traditionally used to start and stop the car or truck engine and associated systems (electrical, etc.) during the performance of various maintenance and repair procedures. A full description of the product is included in Attachment A to this circular. The product is protected under U.S. Patent No: US 6,701,760 B1. In preliminary market testing and in the opinion of numerous car repair experts, Turn-Key Tool is a superior product that functions as described. Currently there are no similar or competitive products on the market.
Turn Key Patent. Universal Product Marketing Co. (UPM) was a product development firm incorporated in 2002. UPM filed for and received a US Patent (US 6,71,760 B1) for the Turn Key on March 9, 2004. Subsequently UPM contracted with Advanced Thermo Control, Ltd., the parent corporation of Advanced Technical Components, Inc. to manufacture the initial Turn Key Product. Advanced Technical Components, Inc. is a manufacturer of mechanical devices that sources product from its plants in China.
Pursuant to the agreement. Advanced Technical Components, Inc. manufactured the initial Turn Key Product. UPM sells the finished Turn Key product but had to retain Advanced Technical Components, Inc. to manufacture the product. The agreement between UPM and Advanced Thermo Control, Ltd. was contracted through The WestWord Group LLC a product acquisition consultant.
In 2006 UPM was in serious financial difficulty and was unable to pursue their business plan. Based upon same, the Nash Group entered into negotiations to acquire both the Turn Key Patent and all of the remaining initial product and inventory that had been manufactured by Advanced Technical Components, Inc. and owned by UPM in return for taking on the company debt of $125,000. This transaction occurred in November of 2006 and subsequent to this transaction, UPM folded and no longer exists.
In 2007 the Nash Group agreed to sell to us the Turn Key Patent and all remaining inventory as well as the rights to the name Universal Product Marketing. We incorporated under Universal Holdings, Inc. in 2007 and we acquired the patent on March 17, 2008 and inventory on June 13, 2008. The Nash Group no longer has any claim to the patent or any inventory for the Turn Key product. All products manufactured to date have been manufactured by Advanced Technical Components, Inc. through its plants in China.
All products manufactured have been paid for in full. In the future we may use Advanced Technical Components, Inc. or another independent third party to manufacture our product on an as needed basis. We do not have a current agreement with Advanced Technical Components, Inc., however, under the initial agreement, they can not use our patent to make this product for any other companies.
Our agreement for the patent is limited to a letter from The Nash Group indicating that it sold us the patent but does not identify specifically the patent or describe the terms of the sale. Since the agreement is missing material terms such as the specific patent and the consideration paid for the deal it is possible that either party could attempt to void the agreement. Based on the relationships between the parties this is not anticipated, however, if this occurred we would have to renegotiate another agreement with them since this patent is a crucial part of our business.
Since some earlier engineering and materials adjustments, we have been generally pleased with the prices and product quality delivered by this manufacturer, we intend to source the manufacturing of its products more aggressively while maintaining the dependable and acceptable price arrangement it now enjoys.
MARKET SIZE AND INDUSTRY TRENDS
The US automotive auto care products market is projected to enjoy small, but increasing growth in market value. The rising number of vehicles sold, vehicle age and average distance traveled have all fueled market growth. The demand for and investment in higher-priced luxury vehicles has further fueled the demand for products that speed and make more efficient the repair and maintenance of these vehicles.
To us, certain trends in the vehicular markets are meaningful. Sale of new cars and trucks has been slowed by the increased durability of vehicles that are built with longer-lasting engines and components that require less maintenance. However, the complexity of these vehicles has also improved market trends for UPM. The introduction of extended warranties has also served to improve these trends.
There are more than 244 million vehicles on the US roads. The average median age of car population is about 9 years. The same statistic for light trucks is 6.6 years. “Scrappage” is an important consideration. The difference between vehicles retired from the “national fleet” and new domestic vehicular sales is crucial to our markets. The net growth of the vehicle population was 12 million vehicles in 2006. This number was up from 9.9 million in 2005, reflecting strong used vehicle markets and the run-up in several commodity prices, including steel.
Worth an estimated $ 200 billion in 2006, the domestic automobile maintenance and repair market shows steady annual growth varying between 3% and 6%. Due to extended lifecycles of products now available within automotive aftermarket, there will be less frequent need for repairs and upgrades, which will tend to slightly decrease the demand for Turn-Key Tool moving forward. Despite this factor, we believe that the massive domestic markets, even larger international markets and widespread requirements for its offerings, coupled with strong growth in the used vehicle fleets and the increasing average age of these fleets, provide long term opportunities.
The international markets for our product are much larger than the domestic (US) markets described in this document.
COMPETITION AND RISKS
There is no known direct competition to UPM, as the product is unique and a first in this field. Also, we have been granted a U.S. patent protecting its technology. However, there are some risks associated with the logical use of this innovation. Certain manual transmission cars are engineered so as to require that operators push the clutch pedal to start the engine. In these situations, mechanics will not enjoy the advantages of using UPM. Also, some maintenance facilities actually employ apprentice or junior personnel for such unskilled procedures and charge for their time (with a profit component in those charges).
CHANNEL SALES
There are seven (7) general sales channels for our business. These differ in priority and importance.
Dealerships are one of the most important segments of the automotive repair business. Increasing numbers of owners are choosing to go to dealership garages as a function of the guarantee and warranty conditions of car and truck manufacturers. Repair services and parts is the only revenue growth area within the average dealership (NADA/ 2007). In the United States 21,200 auto dealerships own 388,140 service stalls. This segment represents promising revenue potential for us. Using the UPM, dealership profits can be increased producing a strong and obvious ROI for the users. With a market penetration of only 10%, gross revenues to us from the US dealership market total about $ 4 million.
Independent Garages and Repair Shops are a second sales channel for us. There are 230 thousands automotive repair and maintenance shops listed in US Census data. Excluding from this list interior and body repair, paint shops and quick oil change, muffler, tire and lubrication shops; leaves about 160,000 shops in this US market. With an average of 4 bays per shop (Babcox Report/ 2006) and assuming market penetration of 5% (this segment is more fragmented than the dealership market), revenue projections top $3 million.
The Company’s Web-site and Internet Sales efforts will be targeted to do-it-yourself (DIY) auto car hobbyists and enthusiasts. The DIY segment is the most unpredictable and difficult market for our company. In other market segments, one decision maker acts to purchase several/many devices, while in the DIY field, single unit purchases will be the norm. However, this sector is the largest with almost half of US households performing some auto repairs. With 0.1% of market penetration of the 50 million+ US household market, revenue from this segment would total about $5 million. We believe higher penetration of this market is likely.
The DIY market can be also reached through leading Automotive “Aftermarket” Retailers such as CARQUEST, Genuine Parts, AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, CSK Auto, and Pep Boys. Each of these companies has annual sales of more than $1 billion. These are major players in the retail market and will be used as sales channels directed to the DIY and repair shop segments of the market. This sales channel can double market penetration for DIY and repair shop segments adding about $8 million in revenue.
The Automotive Tool Wholesalers such as SNAPON and MACTOOLS sell many automotive parts and repair tools to the garages and independent repairmen across the US. We plan to sell its UPM product through one or more of these resellers. The projected annual sales through this channel are $ 2 million.
We also plan sales to various markets via individual salesmen using Business Opportunity (BIZOP) Systems. IMC of Jenkintown, PA has been engaged to develop and market a “sales kit” and business opportunity system for individual entrepreneurs who seek an independent business, selling UPM systems in nonexclusive areas. The economic significance of this program is unknown to us but the costs are minimal. Profits from this program will be divided evenly with IMC.
We will sell exclusive and nonexclusive rights to various International Markets. The prices, terms and conditions of these licenses have not been determined. However, the size of each market and the nature of the vehicular “fleet” of these areas will play a major role in the determination of these charges. There is no assurance that licenses can be sold under terms and at rates beneficial to our company.
MARKETING
The company will tell its story through direct communication with retailers, distributors, resellers and end-users. We will also assist retail sales activities via a vastly improved Web-site- featuring product demonstrations and testimonials. We will place public relations (news) articles in sales trade and automotive industry and hobbyist/ publications. We may attend industry conventions and shows as deemed cost-effective, focusing on supporting channel sales partners, already in those forums.
To help build awareness and create product pull, we will focus on public relations, such as internet, professional racers/mechanics and auto magazine articles. We will also enhance and strengthen our Web-site, www.Turn-Keytool.com, to help promote sales and to reach out to consumers.
We believe an effective marketing tool will be the Web-site demonstrations and free giveaways to major dealership chains and major auto repair shop chains, we will focus heavily on this strategy. While the “try-me” strategy will be worked best as B2B strategy, an extensive Internet marketing campaign will be targeted at hobbyists and other small or independent repair shops and dealerships.
Auto trade magazines are one more marketing channel that can improve visibility of the product and attract customers. According to research data from the automotive repair industry (Babcox/ 2006), 67% of repair shop owners gather information about new products from specialized trade magazines and journals. Internet strategy can significantly increase recognition of Turn-Key Tool and highlight the product’s simple and intuitive advantages.
Packaging. Packaging will be designed to include the most important information on the benefits of and directions for proper use of Turn-Key Tool. In the event of an endorsement (famous racer, fleet endorsement, dealer or industry leader), modifications will be made to take advantage of that event. Packaging will also include information about our Web-site and other contact information.
Pricing Factors. Presently, we acquire product (FOB US) at a cost of $ 58.00 per unit. Our target price range is 75 to 200 percent gross mark-up on the product. We intend to run introductory promotions that will communicate added values and cost savings for repair shops that use Turn-Key Tool. We believe that with this positioning and message, the price mark up is appropriate and justified. Before going to market, we will test price appropriateness with a retail advisory board comprised of key retailers who are known to our company.
Promotions. We will conduct marketing in support of a brand strategy that addresses two basic goals: to build the Turn-Key Tool brand and to sell product. The promotional tactics can be categorized into four following areas: product demonstration, public relations, product promotions and Internet via our company Web-site and search engine optimization (SEO) technologies). To varying degrees, each of these tactics will require collateral materials, free samples and special discounts.
Product Demonstrations
We will work to develop Brand Ambassadors to produce shop demonstrations and act as the face of the Company at selected locations. The message of strong ROI and cost reduction benefits will be directed to managers of fleet, dealership, independent shop and other facilities. A message of efficiency, convenience and improved work conditions will be communicated to the mechanics, shop workers and hobbyists.
Product Promotions
We will promote the product to major dealership chains and major repair shops chains. Pilot systems, “Try-One” no-risk promotions will be used for companies with multiple unit requirements. Promotions will include various “paid from savings” techniques allowing the strong ROI to pay for each Turn-Key Tool.
Public Relations
In addition to retailer-focused tactics, we will use traditional public relations to raise awareness and create demand among target consumers. This public relations strategy is designed to build brand awareness with limited cash outlay.
· | Product Kit. We will develop a product kit that contains information about Turn-Key Tool, price sheet, digital photos, logos, ROI calculators, contact information and calculation charts listing cost and time savings to customers. The kit will also include recent press releases, endorsements and technical/industry endorsements and awards. |
· | Paid Product Placements. Where appropriate, we will pay to have its products referenced and/or placed in print and Web-based publications of select Internet sites. As per research from Babcox, the majority of repair shop owners get information on new products from trade magazines. However, we realize that the importance of skilled Internet promotions is often the most cost-beneficial. |
· | Auto Parts Exhibits. We will joint venture and share news of its innovations with complimentary manufacturers and exhibitors—all intended to improve brand recognition. |
· | Nascar, Indycar Drivers/Mechanics Endorsements. We will actively seek to have its products endorsed by prominent racers, racing teams, maintenance authorities, and related experts. Research has clearly established that consumers are more inclined to purchase products recommended by an authority whose opinion they value. |
· | Media Relations. We will work to establish relations with key auto reporters and opinion leaders at auto magazine and newspapers in key markets. |
Internet activity
We will work to develop and improve its own Web site to attract more B2C Business. The product is very important to hobbyists and others in the DIY segment of the market. We will improve visibility of its product through the most popular SEO technologies using key words and paid for systems provided by Google, Yahoo, You-tube, eBay, etc.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.
Not applicable.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
The information contained in Item 2 contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Actual results may materially differ from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain risks and uncertainties set forth in this report. Although management believes that the assumptions made and expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, there is no assurance that the underlying assumptions will, in fact, prove to be correct or that actual results will not be different from expectations expressed in this report.
Plan of Operation
We have begun limited operations, and we require outside capital to implement our business model.
1. We believe we can begin to implement our business plan to prioritize the 7 market initiatives.
2. All business functions will be coordinated and managed by the founder of our company and consultants to the founder, including facilitating distribution contracts, organizing the 7 selling initiatives and assisting in targeted marketing implementation.
3. We intend to support these marketing by the development of high-quality marketing materials; a wide spread public relations and advertising program and an attractive and informative trade and consumer friendly Web site, www.Turnkeytool.com.
4. Within 120 days of the initiation of its distribution and marketing campaign, we believe that we will begin to generate expanded revenues from its targeted distribution approach.
Our goal is to commence generating sales revenues from our new product distribution and sales programs by the end of the calendar year.
If we are unable to generate sufficient distribution partners and/or customers, we may have to reduce, suspend or cease its efforts. If our company is forced to cease its previously stated efforts, we do not have plans to pursue other business opportunities.
Limited Operating History
We have generated no independent financial history and have not previously demonstrated that it will be able to expand our business through an increased investment in increased production and/ or marketing efforts. We cannot guarantee that the expansion efforts described in this quarterly report will be successful. The business is subject to risks inherent in growing an enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible rejection of the product and/or our distribution and sales methods.
Future financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue expanding its operations. Equity financing will result in a dilution to existing shareholders.
Results of Operation
For the period from August 31, 2007 (inception), to April 30, 2009 we had no revenue. Operating expenses since inception totaled $187,551 resulting in an operating loss of $187,551. Operating expenses of $187,551 since inception consisted of $108,336 for Professional fees, $23,354 for general and administrative expenses and a loss on impairment of $55,831.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
As of April 30, 2009, we had $1,049 in cash.
We believe we can not satisfy our cash requirements for the next twelve months with our current cash. If we are unable to satisfy our cash requirements we may be unable to proceed with our plan of operations. We do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any significant equipment. We also do not expect any significant additions to the number of employees. The foregoing represents our best estimate of our cash needs based on current planning and business conditions. In the event we are not successful in reaching our initial revenue targets, additional funds may be required, and we may not be able to proceed with our business plan for the development and marketing of our core services. Should this occur, we will suspend or cease operations.
We anticipate that depending on market conditions and our plan of operations, we may incur operating losses in the foreseeable future. Therefore, our auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of our financial statements.
We have adopted the following accounting standards. While all of these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition, our views of these policies are critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report:
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Provision for potentially obsolete or slow moving inventory is made based on management's analysis of inventory levels and future sales forecasts.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Statements (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company carries long-lived assets at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value. Impairment is evaluated by estimating future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss is recognized. Fair value, for purposes of calculating impairment, is measured based on estimated future cash flows, discounted at a market rate of interest.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, requires that intangible assets with a finite life are amortized over its life and requires that goodwill and intangible assets be reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise
The Company accounts for income taxes under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). Under 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. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are 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.
The Company will recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” and No. 104, “Revenue Recognition”. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product is delivered and collectibility of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165 “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”). SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 sets forth (1) The period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (2) The circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and (3) The disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. SFAS 165 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 165 will have on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166 “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS 166”). SFAS 166 improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 166 will have on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”). SFAS 167 improves financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to address (1) the effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in SFAS 166 and (2) constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions of Interpretation 46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not always provide timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 167 will have on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168 “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) will be the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. All existing accounting standards are superseded as described in SFAS 168. All other accounting literature not included in the Codification is nonauthoritative. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 168 will have on its financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities” (SPEs).
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We do not have substantial operations at this time so they are not susceptible to these market risks. If, however, they begin to generate substantial revenue, their operations will be materially impacted by interest rates and market prices.

If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Statements (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company carries long-lived assets at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value. Impairment is evaluated by estimating future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss is recognized. Fair value, for purposes of calculating impairment, is measured based on estimated future cash flows, discounted at a market rate of interest.
There were no impairment losses recorded during the period from August 31, 2007 (inception) to April 30, 2009.
(G) Intangible Assets
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, requires that intangible assets with a finite life are amortized over its life and requires that goodwill and intangible assets be reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. During the year ended April 30, 2009, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $55,831. This impairment loss was included as a component of operating expenses. There were no impairment charges taken during the period ended April 30, 2008.
(H) Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” As of April 30, 2009 and 2008 there were no common share equivalents outstanding.

(I) Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). Under 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. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are 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.
The net deferred tax liability in the accompanying balance sheets includes the following amounts of deferred tax assets and liabilities:
| | Years Ended April 30, | |
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
| | | | | | |

Deferred tax liability | | $ | - | | | $ | - | |

Net deferred tax asset | | | - | | | | - | |
Net deferred tax liability | | $ | - | | | $ | - | |
| | | | | | | | |
The valuation allowance was established to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. This is necessary due to the Company’s continued operating losses and the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to utilize all of the net operating loss carryforwards before they will expire through the year 2029.
The net change in the valuation allowance for the year ended April 30, 2009 was an increase of $75,483.
The components of income tax expense related to continuing operations are as follows:

(M) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165 “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS 165”). SFAS 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 sets forth (1) The period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (2) The circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and (3) The disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. SFAS 165 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 165 will have on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166 “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS 166”). SFAS 166 improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 166 will have on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”). SFAS 167 improves financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to address (1) the effects on certain provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”, as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in SFAS 166 and (2) constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions of Interpretation 46(R), including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not always provide timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. SFAS 167 is effective as of the beginning of each reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 167 will have on its financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168 “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) will be the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS 168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. All existing accounting standards are superseded as described in SFAS 168. All other accounting literature not included in the Codification is nonauthoritative. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 168 will have on its financial statements.

APRIL 30, 2009 AND 2008
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company is in the development stage with no operations and has a net loss since inception of $217,551 and used cash in operations of $146,901 for the period from August 31, 2007 (inception) to April 30, 2009. In addition, the Company has a working capital deficiency and stockholders’ deficiency of $501 as of April 30, 2009. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that before our auditor is engaged by us or our subsidiaries to render any auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement be:
-approved by our audit committee; or
-entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the audit committee, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the audit committee is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the audit committee's responsibilities to management.
We do not have an audit committee. Our entire board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. The pre-approval process has just been implemented in response to the new rules. Therefore, our board of directors does not have records of what percentage of the above fees were pre-approved.
