ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Overview
Sweet Spot Games, Inc. (the “Company”) is a developer of online multi-player skill-based games with a primary focus on “pay-to-play” applications. The company develops and markets online gaming software and content in a wide range of categories including casual, racing, multiplayer and simulation. The company’s games can be played on various platforms including personal computers, video game consoles and mobile devices. The company was founded in 2008 and is currently headquartered in Silver Springs, Nevada.
Plan of Operations
The company has developed two gaming applications, “Combat” and “Jockey” and plans to market them online to generate revenues. Each gaming title that the company has developed to date fits into the “skill-based” gaming niche and allows players from around the world to connect to the game and compete amongst each other for points. The main objective is for players to accumulate points using various games featured on our site and compete for monthly prizes and giveaways. A real time leader board will keep track of each user’s performance and store their history and accumulated points. The leader board will be displayed on the main page of the site and will be visible to all users accessing the “portal” that will be developed. The company plans on naming the site “PrizeCracker.com” and has secured that domain name.
Page 3
Given the technology and expertise that the company’s development team retains, every gaming title that will be released will feature an enhanced online gaming experience that will include 3D perspectives and full-scale interactive options. By including a “multi-player” perspective to the games, we plan on creating a “social networking” aspect to the site and attract visitors to frequent the site on a regular basis in order to further develop their personal profile within the PrizeCracker.com community.
In order for the gaming community to expand at a mass market scale, our plan is to introduce the “Sweet Spot Developer Network” and provide game developers from around the world the opportunity to submit their games for review and have their games hosted on the PrizeCracker.com site. By introducing and promoting this program, we are encouraging developers to design games for our platform for the benefit of exposing their talent to the online gaming world and also deriving revenues by the number of downloads their applications receive. At the same time, the company benefits from maximizing the amount of unique applications that users can access on PrizeCracker.com to add value to their online gaming experience and provide a vast array of games that they can use in order to accumulate points for the competition.
Sales and Distribution
The company plans on initially focusing its marketing efforts solely within the online space through extensive SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and selective placement of corporate Flash banners on high-traffic third party portals. The company is currently looking to secure partnerships with large online portals that have the ability to “push” significant traffic to the PrizeCracker.com site.
In addition to forming online partnerships, it is the company’s objective to establish an “affiliate network” that will allow any website owner from around the world to promote our site and send traffic to our site. In exchange for marketing PrizeCracker.com on their site with banners that we will provide them, the company plans on compensating these “affiliates” with a base commission rate for every user that visits our site and registers as a “paying” member.
The company plans on offering two levels of membership for its online community of gamers. The first level of membership will be free, and will allow users to play all of the games on the site on an unlimited basis. The second membership package will allow users to play the games and be able to accumulate points in order to compete for prizes featured on the site.
The company will make available to its members various ways to be able to accumulate points and several methods in which to be able to redeem them. The main objective would be for users to accumulate as many points as possible during the month by visiting back frequently and earning more points to raise their ranking on the real time PrizeCracker.com leader board. In addition to the top “monthly” point earners winning prizes for their performance, the company also plans on rewarding users for a fixed number of consecutive visits to the site. By being able to track each time a user logs
Page 4
into the site, the company plans to offer users “eligibility” into a secondary prize pool for successfully visiting the site every day for 30 days in a row. By implementing this “reward” system, we encourage users to visit the site often, creating a “sticky” nature to the site which will allow the company to generate significant revenue from sponsors that would like to feature their promotional campaigns on the PrizeCracker.com gaming portal.
The company plans on launching a Public Relations campaign once the PrizeCracker gaming portal reaches a certain level of online traction. The company is currently looking to implement a television ad campaign with major broadcasting stations that will maximize the level of awareness exponentially. In addition to television commercial placement, the company will look to expose the PrizeCracker gaming portal by featuring its ads on high traffic billboard locations in big cities around North America.
Sources of Revenue
The company plans on generating revenues from three main areas. Primarily, the company will generate the majority of its revenues through the sale of “paid” membership packages on the PrizeCracker.com site. The company plans on charging a membership fee of $5.99 per month per registered user. The secondary source of revenue will be derived from paid sponsorships. Once the company builds a steady stream of high traffic to the PrizeCracker site, it will offer companies the opportunity to feature their promotional content throughout the site for a pre-determined period of time. Lastly, the company will also offer its development services to third-party companies looking to out-source their game development projects. The company plans on developing a website that will feature and market these services independently of the PrizeCracker.com gaming portal.
Competition
The Company is looking to enter a market with a very concentrated competitive environment. Competitors that exist within the industry are few in numbers but large in size. The company's direct competitor includes Blizzard Entertainment, which was acquired by Activision. Prior to the acquisition, Blizzard employed hundreds of employees that focused primarily on the development of their flagship product, World of War craft (WoW). The product is available for purchase through electronic download or by purchasing a CD version at a retail venue. Whichever way the user chooses to obtain the product, a purchase price of approximately $60 US must be incurred. At that point, the end-user must pay a monthly subscription fee of approximately $13 US to maintain their membership within the gaming community. Given that Blizzard launched WoW as a "pay-to-play” gaming application without of fering any free trial opportunity shows the extreme appetite in the marketplace for such gaming environments. WoW attracted 40,000 active members within their first month of operations
About 4 years ago. Since then, WoW has a worldwide membership base that exceeds the 7 million mark.
There are several differences between Blizzard's WoW and the company's proposed PrizeCracker gaming portal. Both gaming applications are built for "pay-to-play" multi-player competition although
Page 5
the PrizeCracker gaming community has been developed on a two tier model. Gaming applications hosted on the PrizeCracker gaming portal can be installed to operate as a "play-to-win" and "pay-to-
Play" model. In the first instance, there is no cost for the user to register and download the gaming software. Based on this model, the company generates revenue based on a pure IP based geographic in-game advertising model and third-party sponsorship campaigns. In the second instance, the user pays a nominal monthly fee to keep their account active, although the company gives the user the opportunity to actually win prizes featured on the site by continuing to compete. WoW functions on a business model that caters to an audience that is very different from the company's. The company's target audience has a combined interest in both online multiplayer competitive gaming and performance based compensation. The WoW audience is a pure fictional role-playing atmosphere that allows the user to focus more on building a character than wining prizes.
Industry
According to In-Stat/MDR, the online gaming market will be valued at over $10 billion by the end of 2009. In June of 2008, Nielsen/Net Rating released data of the estimated total number of online gamers. The figure exceeded 46 million in the U.S. alone. According to market research firm IDC, the popularity of Internet gaming in Asia has topped online shopping. In countries such as China and Malaysia, the number of online gamers outnumbers online shoppers by a ratio of 2-to-1. Pearl Research analysts wrote in a new market study that there are more than 400 million Internet users across Asia, representing an untapped market for online gaming content.
According to the latest Strategy Analytics outlook, the global online gaming market is set to triple in the next 5 years.
The report, "Online Games: Global Market Forecast," notes that the rapidly expanding Massively Multiplayer Online Games market, led by Blizzard Entertainment's World of Warcraft franchise, is blazing the way for electronic sell-through and digital distribution of both PC and console games.
In terms of revenue, the online games category is the largest category out of the three main online entertainment markets - music, games and video - according to Strategy Analytics.
It estimates that the global online games market generated $3.8 billion in 2006 and projects that the market will grow with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.2% in the 2007-2011 forecast period to reach $ 11.8 billion - approximately one-third of the total games software market - by 2011.
That's more than triple 2006's revenues and double the $5.2 billion anticipated for 2007.
The global in-game advertising market, which generated $77.7 million globally in 2006, continues to develop at an exponential rate and will, by 2011, grow to $971.3 million in worldwide in-game advertising expenditures (fixed product placement/static ads and dynamic ads), according to a recent Yankee Group report.
This year alone in-game ad expenditures will more than double, reaching $182.7 million, according to the report, “Advertising and Games: 2007 In-Game Advertising Forecast."
Page 6
Additional findings in the report:
-
Dynamically placed 2D ads will cannibalize static in-game ads, but fixed product placements will continue to grow through 2011.
-
The number of games with in-game ads will double annually through 2008.
-
In the near term, PC games will drive the market for dynamically served ads.
New media growth is eclipsing that of traditional advertising media, according to Yankee: Spending on traditional advertising media (television, newspapers, radio and magazines) grew $3.6 billion last year, while spending on internet advertising grew $4.3 billion.
As one part of that trend, connected game devices are becoming the foundation on which providers build dynamic in-game ad insertion, Yankee said.
"Advertisers are increasingly finding in-game advertising to be a greater investment value because of the variety of opportunities that exist in and around games. Video games represent an `above the line’ opportunity, which means that video games should be used to build brands and not as a call to
action that distracts from the game play," said Michael Goodman, director of digital entertainment in Yankee Group's Consumer Research group.
Implementation of Our Plan
The company has made a significant effort to assure that its customers enjoy an online gaming experience among none other.
The company retains an advanced group of developers that are extremely qualified within the online game application development industry. The company's products have been developed to be able to be implemented within various technical environments and platforms, including PC and mobile smart phones.
The Company has made significant investment in hardware peripherals that are industry leading. Given that the company is competing in an environment that requires it to be on the leading edge, continuous investment must be made into providing the engineering team with the technical resources they require in order to develop content that not only meets but exceeds industry standards.
The Company currently retains key engineering talent that has significant experience in online game development. The company recruits talent from Michigan State University's Game Design Program.
Page 7
The company has spent over 3 years developing the platform in which the PrizeCracker gaming portal will be built on. The objective of the company is to continuously introduce new and engaging gaming applications that feature interactive additions to the PrizeCracker portal and simultaneously retain the necessary talent to develop additional gaming titles which will in turn generate further revenue for the company.
Given the current business model, the system collects user data at the end of every day, week and month and awards the user with the most accumulated “wins” with the prize featured on the website.
Expanding the company’s sales and marketing initiatives to include as many geographic IP targets will also be a priority. The company is currently looking to retain a Director of Sales and Marketing whose main objective will be to initiate an aggressive campaign to recruit representatives within certain North American geographic targets that will generate significant revenue for the company.
The company will maximize its online exposure to generate as much traffic as possible to the PrizeCracker online gaming portal. In order to sustain and be able to handle this population of users, the company will consider upgrading its current bandwidth pipeline in order to supply our customer base with a "zero latency" experience.
Every new employee and/or contractor that joins the company as a member of the development team will be asked to sign a Non-Compete and IP Transfer Waiver therefore securing the company from having to face any potential lawsuits in the future pertaining to IP ownership.
Further areas in which the company must be aware of potential risks are:
- Retention of key engineering talent
- Being first to market with leading edge technology and gaming content
- Remaining "relevant" to our customer base
- Competitive landscape becoming more fragmented

ITEM 1 A.
RISK FACTORS
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
OUR AUDITORS HAVE NOTED THERE IS CERTAIN DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO OPERATE AS A GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $858,688 at June 30, 2010 that includes losses of $ 165,284 for the year ended June 30, 20.10 These factors raise certain doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Management has taken steps to revise the Company's operating and financial requirements. The Company is actively pursuing additional funding and a potential merger or acquisition candidate and strategic partners, which would enhance owners' investment. However, there can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or that funds will be available from external sources such as debt or equity financings or other potential sources. The lack of additional capital resulting from the inability to generate cash flow from operations or to raise capital from external sources would force the Company to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on attractive terms or that they will not have a significant di lutive effect on the Company's existing stockholders.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
WE HAVE HAD LOSSES FROM OPERATIONS AND ANTICIPATE TO ACHIEVE PROFIT THROUGH THE INCOME AND DECREASE THE LOSSES FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
Since inception we have had limited revenues from operation. Revenues through the year ended June 30, 2010 totaled$23, 325. For the year ended June 30, 2010 we experienced a loss from operations of $() (165,284) as compared to a loss of $() (81,303) for the prior year. We have not achieved profitability. We expect to incur significant operating expenses and, as a result, will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability, which may not occur. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may be unable to sustain or increase profitability on an ongoing basis.
OUR CURRENT SHAREHOLDERS CONTROL OUR BUSINESS AFFAIRS IN WHICH CASE YOU WILL HAVE LITTLE OR NO PARTICIPATION IN OUR BUSINESS.
Our principal stockholders own a majority of our common stock. As a result, they will have control over all matters requiring approval by our stockholders without the approval of minority stockholders. In addition, they will also be able to elect all of the members of our Board of Directors, which will allow them to control our affairs and management. They will also be able to affect most corporate matters requiring stockholder approval by written
Page 9
consent, without the need for a duly noticed and duly-held meeting of stockholders. As a result, they will have significant influence and control over all matters requiring approval by our stockholders. Accordingly, you will be limited in your ability to affect change in how we conduct our business.
WE MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT COSTS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND ACCOUNTING REQUIREMENTS.
We expect to incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the SEC. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. While we have no experience as a public company, we estimate that these additional costs will total approximately $60,000 per year. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individual s to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these newly applicable rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.
WE ARE A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY WITH NO OPERATING HISTORY FOR YOU TO EVALUATE AND WE HAVE NOT PROVEN OUR ABILITY TO GENERATE PROFITS.
We are a developmental stage company. Although we have developed a working prototype, we have not established a market for our product. We have no meaningful operating history so it will be difficult for you to evaluate an investment in our securities. From our inception to date, we have had minimal revenues of $23,325 and incurred a net loss of $858,688. We launched our interactive multiplayer online game in the first quarter of 2009 but there is no assurance that we will ever be able to become profitable.
An investor should also consider the uncertainties and difficulties frequently encountered by companies, such as ours, in their early stages of development. Our revenue and income potential is unproven and our business model is still emerging. If our business model does not prove to be profitable, investors may lose all of their investment.
WE HAVE HAD MINIMAL REVENUES AND ANTICIPATE LOSSES FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
Since inception we have had had minimal revenues of$23,325and incurred a net loss of $858,688. Our auditors have noted that our ability to become a going concern is dependent on our continued ability to obtain additional financing. We have not achieved profitability and expect to continue to incur net losses throughout fiscal 2009 and subsequent fiscal periods. Thus far we have financed through cash provided by financing activities of $239,000, primarily from a private placement that concluded in October, 2008 and sales to non-U. S. persons believed to be exempt from registration under Regulation S. We expect to generate revenues through the sales of licensing, advertising and product placement within the online game, but there is no assurance that we will be able to attract advertisers or sufficient advertising revenues to become profitable. We expect to incur significant operating expenses and, as a result, will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability, which may not occur. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may be unable to sustain or increase
Profitability on an ongoing basis.
Page 10
IF WE FAIL TO IMPLEMENT OUR COMMERCIALIZATION STRATEGY, OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COULD BE MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECTED.
Our future financial performance and success are dependent in large part upon our ability to implement our commercialization strategy successfully. We have consulted with prospective advertisers and management believes that a market will develop for advertising on our online game., but there is no assurance that any such revenues will materialize. We have not engaged third party consultants to identify potential clients for our technology and we have no means to determine whether this strategy will be successful. We may not be able to successfully implement our commercialization strategy with or without the involvement of these third parties. If we are unable to do so, our long-term growth and profitability may be adversely affected. Even if we are able to
Successfully implement some or all of the initiatives of our business plan; our operating results may not improve to the extent we expect, or at all.
Implementation of our commercialization strategy could also be affected by a number of factors beyond our control, such as increased competition, legal developments, general economic conditions or increased operating costs or expenses. In addition, to the extent we have misjudged the nature and extent of industry trends or our competition; we may have difficulty achieving our strategic objectives. We may also decide to alter or discontinue certain aspects of our business strategy at any time. Any failure to successfully implement our business strategy may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and thus our ability to service our indebtedness, including our ability to make principal and intere st payments on our indebtedness.
WE MAY HAVE INSUFFICIENT LIQUIDITY TO CONTINUE.
The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock. We are devoting substantially all of our present efforts to establishing a new business, developing and launching an online, multiplayer game and will need additional capital to continue implementing our business plan. We have generated minimal revenue. We will have to seek other sources of financing or we will be forced to curtail or terminate our business plans. There is no assurance that additional sources of financing will be available at all or at a reasonable cost.
We anticipate expenses of approximately $10,000 per month for the next 12 months. This includes the part time programmers, bandwidth and servers, and licenses. As of June 30, 2010, the Company has cash on hand of approximately $110,342. Currently the Company does not have sufficient cash to cover the anticipated expenses and will need to raise additional capital or derive revenues from its games. We intend to begin marketing the current Combat game to existing internet properties on a "white label" basis and expect revenue from our consulting agreements, revenues from the "Crib Wars" game, and third party development contracts.
The largest anticipated expense is the cost of development. We typically pay part time programmers at the rate of $900 per week and graphic artists $650 per week for graphic artists on an as needed basis. If we are unable to successfully generate revenues or raise capital we would terminate the part time workers, slow the development of the products and reduce our expenses.
OUR PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS CONTROLS OUR BUSINESS AFFAIRS IN WHICH CASE YOU WILL HAVE LITTLE OR NO PARTICIPATION IN OUR BUSINESS AFFAIRS.
Currently, our principal stockholder owns 84.7% of our common stock. As a result, he will have control over all matters requiring approval by our stockholders without the approval of minority stockholders. In addition, he will also be able to elect all of the members of our Board of Directors, which will allow him to control our affairs and
Page 11
management. He will also be able to affect most corporate matters requiring stockholder approval by written consent, without the need for a duly noticed and duly-held meeting of stockholders. As a result, they will have significant influence and control over all matters requiring approval by our stockholders. Accordingly, you will be limited in your ability to affect change in how we conduct our business.
WE MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT COSTS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND ACCOUNTING REQUIREMENTS.
We expect to incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the SEC. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. While we have extremely limited experience as a public company, we estimate that these additional costs will total approximately $50,000 per year. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and cov erage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these newly applicable rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR SECURITIES
THERE IS CURRENTLY NO SUBSTANTIAL MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK AND NO ASSURANCE THAT ONE WILL DEVELOP.
There is currently on an extremely limited trading market for our shares of Common Stock, under the symbol “SWTP.” Any market price for shares of our Common Stock is likely to be very volatile, and numerous factors beyond our control may have a significant adverse effect. In addition, the stock markets generally have experienced, and continue to experience, extreme price and volume fluctuations which have affected the market price of many small capital companies and which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. These broad market fluctuations, as well as general economic and political conditions, may also adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. Further, there is no correlation between the present limited market price of our Common Stock and our revenues, book value, assets or other established criteria of value. The present limited quotations of our Common Stock should not be considered indicative of the actual value of the Company or our Common Stock.
Future sales of our common stock could put downward selling pressure on our shares, and adversely affect the stock price. There is a risk that this downward pressure may make it impossible for an investor to sell his shares at any reasonable price.
Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could put downward selling pressure on our shares, and adversely affect the market price of our
Page 12
common stock. Such sales could be made pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as shares become eligible for sale under the Rule.
BECAUSE OUR SHARES ARE DEEMED HIGH RISK “PENNY STOCKS,” YOU MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY SELLING THEM IN THE SECONDARY TRADING MARKET.
The Commission has adopted regulations which generally define a "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as therein defined) less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Additionally, if the equity security is not registered or authorized on a national securities exchange, the equity security also constitutes a "penny stock." As our common stock falls within the definition of penny stock, these regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving our common stock, of a risk disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with it. These regulations generally require broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors to deliver a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with that market. Disclosure is also require d to be made about compensation payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. These regulations also impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers. In addition, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks. The ability of broker/dealers to sell our common stock and the ability of shareholders to sell our common stock in the secondary market is limited. As a result, the market liquidity for our common stock is severely and adversely affected. We can provide no assurance that trading in our common stock will not be subject to these or other regulations in the future, which would negatively affect the market for our common stock.
IF A MARKET DEVELOPS FOR OUR SECURITIES THE COULD BE VOLATILE AND MAY NOT APPRECIATE IN VALUE.
If a market should develop for our securities, of which we have no assurance, the market price is likely to fluctuate significantly. Fluctuations could be rapid and severe and may provide investors little opportunity to react. Factors such as changes in results from our operations, and a variety of other factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. Also, stock markets in penny stock shares tend to have extreme price and volume volatility. The market prices of shares of many smaller public companies securities are subject to volatility for reasons that frequently unrelated to the actual operating performance, earnings or other recognized measurements of value. This volatility may cause declines including very sudden and sharp declines in the market price of our common stock. We cannot assure investors that the stock price will appreciate in value, that a market will be avail able to resell your securities or that the shares will retain any value at all.
WE HAVE NEVER PAID DIVIDENDS ON OUR COMMON STOCK AND YOU MAY NEVER RECEIVE DIVIDENDS. THERE IS A RISK THAT AN INVESTOR IN OUR COMPANY WILL NEVER SEE A RETURN ON INVESTMENT AND THE STOCK MAY BECOME WORTHLESS.
We have never paid dividends on our common stock. We intend to retain earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business. Future dividend policy will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be contingent upon future earnings, if any, our financial condition, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors. Future dividends may also be affected by covenants contained in loan or

other financing documents, which may be executed by us in the future. Therefore, there can be no assurance that cash dividends of any kind will ever be paid.
THERE IS CURRENTLY NO MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK AND NO ASSURANCE THAT ONE WILL DEVELOP.
There is currently an extremely limited trading market for our shares of Common Stock, and there can be no assurance that a more substantial market will ever develop or be maintained. At July 30, 2010 the closing bid was $0.25 and the ask was $0.30 on extremely thin volume. Any market price for shares of our Common Stock is likely to be very volatile, and numerous factors beyond our control may have a significant adverse effect. In addition, the stock markets generally have experienced, and continue to experience, extreme price and volume fluctuations which have affected the market price of many small capital companies and which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. These broad market fluctuations, as well as general economic and political conditions, may also adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. Further, there is no correlation between the present limited market price of our Common Stock and our revenues, book value, assets or other established criteria of value. The present limited quotations of our Common Stock should not be considered indicative of the actual value of the Company or our Common
Stock.
Future sales of our common stock could put downward selling pressure on our shares, and adversely affect the stock price. There is a risk that this downward pressure may make it impossible for an investor to sell his shares at any reasonable price.
Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could put downward selling pressure on our shares, and adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Such sales could be made pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as shares become eligible for sale under the Rule.
IF A MARKET DEVELOPS FOR OUR SECURITIES IT COULD BE VOLATILE AND MAY NOT APPRECIATE IN VALUE.
If a market should develop for our securities, of which we have no assurance, the market price is likely to fluctuate significantly. Fluctuations could be rapid and severe and may provide investors little opportunity to react. Factors such as changes in results from our operations, and a variety of other factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. Also, stock markets in penny stock shares tend to have extreme price and volume volatility. The market prices of shares of many smaller public companies securities are subject to volatility for reasons that frequently unrelated to the actual operating performance, earnings or other recognized measurements of value. This volatility may cause declines including very sudden and sharp declines in the market price of our common stock. We cannot assure investors that the stock price will appreciate in value, that a market will be available to resell your securities or that the shares will retain any value at all.

Trading Market for Common Equity
There is currently an extremely limited market for the Company's Common Stock, which is traded over-the-counter and quoted from time to time under the trading symbol “SWTP". Consequently, there is currently no established public trading market for the Company's Common Stock.
Future sales of our common stock could put downward selling pressure on our shares, and adversely affect the stock price. There is a risk that this downward pressure may make it impossible for an investor to sell his shares at any reasonable price. Management believes that we currently have approximately 67 holders of common stock as of June 30, 2010.
The Company's Common Stock is traded over-the-counter and quoted from time to time in the OTCBB and Pink Sheets Electronic OTC Markets under the trading symbol "SWTP".
The following table sets forth the range of high and low bid prices as reported by the Pink Sheets Electronic OTC Markets for the periods indicated. Such quotations represent inter-dealer prices without retail markup, markdown, or commission, and may not necessarily represent actual transactions. As of July 27, 2010 the opening bid was $.30 and the closing bid was $.25 with 6500 shares traded.

We have never paid a cash dividend on our common stock.

There are no contractual restrictions on our ability to declare and pay dividends.

Number of Holders
As of June 30, 2010, we had 67 common shareholders of record.
Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
As of the date of this Report, we have not authorized any equity compensation plan, nor has our Board of Directors authorized the reservation or issuance of any securities under any equity compensation plan.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
Beginning in June of 2008 and continuing until October of 2008 the Company privately offered up to 500,000 shares of Common Stock to accredited investors at a price of .20 per share. As part of that private placement we agreed to assert our best efforts to register the shares sold in the private placement provided that at least 75% of the shares offered were sold. The company sold 450,000 shares and closed the offering in October of 2008.
The securities offered in both private placements, including the common stock, sold in reliance upon the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation S and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, which exempt transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. The issuance of the shares was undertaken without general solicitation or advertising. Each purchaser of the shares represented in the purchase agreement, among other things, that (a) it was an "accredited investor", as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, (b) it had obtained sufficient information from us to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the shares of our common stock and (c) it was acquiring the shares of our common stock for investment purposes and not with a view to any public resale or other distribution in violation of the Securities Act of 1933 or the securities laws of any state. In addition, the stock certificate representing these shares contained a legend that they are restricted securities under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may not be offered or sold in the United States in the absence of an effective registration statement or exemption from the registration requirements under
The Securities Act.
Other Consultants
On January 19, 2005, we entered into a Consulting Services Agreement with Gerald Newman and Associates ("Newman"), a consulting firm in Beverly Hills, California. Newman will assist us in investor relations, management consulting, the selection of personnel and other management issues. We have issued 2,700,000 shares to Newman, valued at $0.20 for accounting purposes.
We also retained a securities attorney, Charles Barkley, Attorney at Law, with offices in Charlotte, NC. As part of the compensation to Mr. Barkley, we issued 195,000 to Mr. Barkley at inception. We also issued at inception 100,000 shares, to Elizabeth Garcia, a member of Mr. Barkley's staff who agreed to serves as our initial corporate secretary and bookkeeper. We have computed these shares at the rate of 7.5 cents per share. The valuation was entirely arbitrary, since the Company had significant negative shareholder equity at the time of the issuance.
Mr. Barkley assisted us in our private placement which closed in October, 2008.
In June, 2009, the Company accepted 5 additional subscriptions from 4 existing shareholders and one new shareholder, all of whom are non-US persons as defined by Regulation S and accredited investors as defined by Regulation D. A total of 150,000 shares were sold. All of the subscribers certified to the Company that they were not solicited by the registration statement.
Page 17
Also, in June, 2009, our CEO, Greg Galanis personally sold 2,205,000 shares to Charles Barkley. The consideration for that sale consisted of cash and exchange of shares and services as follows:
a. Initial cash payments of $1,225;
b. Certain legal services to the Company for the first year of public
Filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and
c. 50% of U.S. Capital Ventures, Inc., a Nevada corporation established
in September 2007, that is expected to be devoted to consulting
services for companies interested in cross border transactions
between the United States and Canada.
Mr. Galanis intended this transaction to partially secure required legal services for the Company without further dilution to the existing shareholders. Mr. Galanis has declined any arrangement whereby he is to be compensated by the Company for exchanging personal assets for legal services for the Company.
Also in June, 2009, Mr. Galanis gave 300,000 shares to Ms. Ginna Romero for services. The shares delivered also compensated Ms. Romero for administrative services rendered to the Company. Mr. Galanis did not intend to further dilute the current shareholders, and therefore, there is no arrangement whereby he is to be compensated by the Company.
We believe these were private placements within the meaning of the rules and regulations under the Securities Act. Each purchaser of the shares represented in the purchase agreement, among other things, that (a) it was an "accredited investor", as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, (b) it had obtained sufficient information from us to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the shares of our common stock and (c) it was acquiring the shares of our common stock for investment purposes and not with a view to any public resale or other distribution in violation of the Securities Act of 1933 or the securities laws of any state. In addition, the stock certificate representing these shares contained a legend that they are restric ted securities under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may not be offered or sold in the United States in the absence of an effective registration statement or exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act.
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Small Business Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers
In January, 2010, our CEO Gregory Galanis purchased 1,350,000 shares and Charles Barkley purchased 1,350,000 shares from Gerald Newman and Associates ("Newman"), a consulting firm in Beverly Hills, California for a total consideration of $20,000.

CAUTIONARY NOTICE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Forward Looking Statements
We make certain forward-looking statements in this report. Statements that are not historical facts included in this Form 10-K are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from projected results.

The Company disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances occurring hereafter or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
The nature of our business makes predicting the future trends of our revenues, expenses, and net income difficult. Thus, our ability to predict results or the actual effect of our future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. The risks and uncertainties involved in our business could affect the matters referred to in any forward-looking statements and it is possible that our actual results may differ materially from the anticipated results indicated in these forward-looking statements.

Overview
Sweet Spot Games, Inc. (the “Company”) is currently a developmental stage company that has limited revenues.
The company has developed two gaming applications, “Combat” and “Jockey” and plans to market them online to generate revenues. Each gaming title that the company has developed to date fits into the “skill-based” gaming niche and allows players from around the world to connect to the game and compete amongst each other for points. The main objective is for players to accumulate points using various games featured on our site and compete for monthly prizes and giveaways. A real time leader board will keep track of each user’s performance and store their history and accumulated points. The
Page 20
leader board will be displayed on the main page of the site and will be visible to all users accessing the “portal” that will be developed. The company plans on naming the site “PrizeCracker.com” and has secured that domain name.
Given the technology and expertise that the company’s development team retains, every gaming title that will be released will feature an enhanced online gaming experience that will include 3D perspectives and full-scale interactive options. By including a “multi-player” perspective to the games, we plan on creating a “social networking” aspect to the site and attract visitors to frequent the site on a regular basis in order to further develop their personal profile within the PrizeCracker.com community.
In order for the gaming community to expand at a mass market scale, our plan is to introduce the “Sweet Spot Developer Network” and provide game developers from around the world the opportunity to submit their games for review and have their games hosted on the PrizeCracker.com site. By introducing and promoting this program, we are encouraging developers to design games for our platform for the benefit of exposing their talent to the online gaming world and also deriving revenues by the number of downloads their applications receive. At the same time, the company benefits from maximizing the amount of unique applications those users can access on PrizeCracker.com to add value to their online gaming experience and provide a vast array of games that they can use in order to accumulate points for the competition.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
GENERAL. Overall, we had net losses of $858,688 through the year ended June 30, 2010. During the year ended June 30, 2010, we had net cash used in operating activities of $(110,931), net cash used in investing activities of $(12,000), and net cash provided by financing activities of $215,471. At the end of the period, our cash balance was $110,342.
CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES. Net cash used in operating activities of $(110,931) for the year ended June 30, 2010 was primarily attributable to the net loss from operations. The adjustments to reconcile the net loss to net cash included depreciation and amortization expense of $1,084, common stock issued for services performed of $20,000, loss on software development of $22,133, loss on foreign exchange of $2,894, accounts payable of $10,900 and accrued expenses of $(558).
CASH FLOWS FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES. Net cash used in investing activities of $(12,000) for the year ended June 30, 2010 was entirely attributable to the $12,000 from cash spent on software development costs.

INTERNAL SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY. There is no assurance that funds from our operations, if and when they commence, will meet the requirements of our daily operations in the future. In the event that funds from our operations are insufficient to meet our operating requirements, we will need to seek other sources of financing to maintain liquidity.
EXTERNAL SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY. We intend to pursue all potential financing options in 2010 as we look to secure additional funds to both stabilize and grow our business operations and begin extraction. Our management will review any financing options at their disposal and will judge each potential source of funds on its individual merits. We cannot assure you that we will be able to secure additional funds from debt or equity financing, as and when we need to or if we can, that the terms of such financing will be favorable to us or our existing shareholders.
INFLATION. Our management believes that inflation has not had a material effect on our results of operations, and does not expect that it will in fiscal year 2010.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS. We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not Applicable.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, and revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use if estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of our financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2010. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as 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.
Item 7A.
We do not employ derivative financial instruments and have no foreign exchange contracts. Our financial instruments are primarily cash and cash equivalents, but also include receivables, payables, long term debts, and short term notes. We do not try to manage risk of foreign exchange rates or engage in hedging activities.
Foreign Exchange Rates
All of our sales are inU.S. Dollars.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders of
Sweet Spot Games, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Sweet Spot Games, Inc. (a development stage company) as of June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, and the related statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 and for the period June 2, 2008 (inception) to June 30, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accountability Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 Sweet Spot Games, Inc. as of June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 and for the period June 2, 2008 (inception) to June 30, 2010 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Sweet Spot Games, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements, under existing circumstances, there is substantial doubt about the ability of Sweet Spot Games, Inc. to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
(the “Company”) was organized in Nevada on June 2, 2008. The Company is a development stage company and currently has no operations. The Company is a developer of online multiplayer skill based games.
The Company develops games in a 3D environment allowing users from around the globe to compete in an environment that very closely resembles the graphic quality of console based systems such as Microsoft’s Xbox or Sony’s Play Station.
The Company’s mandate is to continue producing highly attractive and interactive online multiplayer skill-based games that revolutionize the environment in which online gaming applications exist today.
Basis of Accounting
The Company's policy is to prepare its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of operations for the foreseeable future. The Company maintains it financial records on an accrual method of accounting.
Software Development Costs
Costs to develop and enhance software are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the software. Costs to operate the software are expensed as incurred.
For the year ended June 30, 2010, no software is in service and therefore no amortization expense has been recognized. For the year ended June 30, 2009, amortization expense of $2,767 was recognized. During the year ended June 30, 2010 the related software was abandoned.
Revenue Recognition
The Company will recognize sales revenue at the time of delivery when ownership has transferred to the customer, when evidence of a payment arrangement exists and the sales proceeds are determinable and collectable. After the customer has accessed the website and answered the questions necessary to execute the forms and documents for participation, the customer is required to pay for the services with a credit card. The credit card
Page 29
charge is immediately electronically processed and approved or declined. Once approved, the Company immediately completes the actual filing forms and documents and files them electronically, if possible, or overnights them to the appropriate state. At that point, we recognize the revenue from the transaction.
Revenue from consulting services is recognized as services are performed. Fees received for services not yet rendered are recorded as deferred revenue.
Stock-based Compensation
Compensation expense for common stock issued for services received will be based upon the fair value of the equity instruments issued, as the services are provided and the securities earned.
Advertising and promotion
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. 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 carry forwards that are available to be carried forward to future years for tax purposes. 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. 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. When it is not considered to be more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will be realized, a valuation allowance is provided for the excess. Alth ough the Company has significant loss carry-forwards available to reduce future income for tax purposes, no amount has been reflected on the balance sheet for deferred income taxes as any deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance.
Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes.
Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share has been calculated using the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates
Page 30
and assumptions, where applicable, that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While actual results could differ from those estimates, management does not expect such variances, if any, to have a material effect on the financial statements.
Depreciation
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the assets’ expected useful lives of three years.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to the comparative totals to conform to the June 30, 2010 presentation.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated for subsequent events through the date of the independent auditors’ report, which is the date the financial statements were made available to be issued.

Effective for our interim financial statements as of September 30, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) became the primary source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Rules and interpretations of the SEC are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The ASC supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards but does not change GAAP. The adoption of the ASC did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB released ASC 855, “Subsequent events”, which established a general standard of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. Effective for our interim financial statements as of December 31, 2009, we reviewed events occurring through the filing date of this document.
3.
Commitment and Contingencies
Liabilities for loss contingencies, arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources would be recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or
Page 31
remediation can be reasonably estimated. Recoveries from third parties, which are probable of realization are separately recorded, and are not offset against the related liability. The Company has no pending litigation either offensive or defensive and the Company has no lease commitments.
4.
Income Taxes
To date the Company has not filed an income tax return. No income taxes are due as a result of net operating losses. Once the Company files its tax returns, the tax returns will be open and subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and most of the states the Company does business in for three years. The Company is not currently under audit, nor has the Company been contacted by any of these jurisdictions.
5.
Common Stock Restrictions
Common stock shares of 30,110,000 are outstanding and all but 450,000 are not registered for resale and cannot be lawfully sold except upon registration unless a valid transactional exemption for the sale, such as Rule 144 eligibility, exists and has been complied with procedurally.
6.
Going Concern
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the continued ability to obtain financing to repay its current obligations and fund working capital until it is able to achieve profitable operations. The Company will seek to obtain capital from equity financing through private placements. Management hopes to realize sufficient sales in future years to achieve profitable operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient debt or equity capital on satisfactory terms. If management is unsuccessful in obtaining financing or achieving profitable operations, the Company may be required to cease operations. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. These financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which could be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and, there fore, be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts differing from those reflected in the financial statements.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Quarterly Evaluation of Controls Update to June 30, 2010
As of the end of the period covered by this yearly report on Form 10- K, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of (i) our disclosure controls and procedures ("Disclosure Controls"), and (ii) our internal control over financial reporting ("Internal Controls"). This evaluation ("Evaluation") was performed by our President and Chief Executive Officer for the period ending June 30, 2010, Greg Galanis ("CEO") and by our Chief Financial Officer for the period ending June 30, 2010. In this section, we present the conclusions of our CEO based on and as of the date of the Evaluation, (i) with respect to the effectiveness of our Disclosure Controls, and (ii) with respect to any change in our Internal Controls that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our Internal Controls.
Our auditors, Brock, Schechter & Polakoff, LLP, reported to management on system deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses in the internal controls of the Company. We have received their comments and propose to act on their observations as follows:
1.
Internal Control Environment - In order to address the issue, we are currently implementing an internal control system which, as defined by the Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission, achieves the establishment of a control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication and monitoring.
Page 33
CEO and CFO Certifications
Attached to this annual report, as Exhibits 31.1 and 32.1, are certain certifications of the CEO and CFO, which are required in accordance with the Exchange Act and the Commission's rules implementing such section (the "Rule 13a- 14(a)/15d-14(a) Certifications"). This section of the annual report contains the information concerning the Evaluation referred to in the Rule 13a- 14(a)/15d-14(a) Certifications. This information should be read in conjunction with the Rule 13a- 14(a)/15d-14(a) Certifications for a more comp lete understanding of the topic presented.
Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls
Disclosure Controls are procedures designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act, such as this yearly report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that material information relating to the Company is made known to the CEO and the CFO by others, particularly during the period in which the applicable report is being prepared. Internal Controls, on the other hand, are procedures which are designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that (i) our transactions are prope rly authorized, (ii) our assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use, and (iii) our transactions are properly recorded and reported, all to permit the preparation of complete and accurate financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management does not expect that our Disclosure Controls or our Internal Controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well developed and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of the control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances so of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision -making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of a system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated objectives under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or because the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Page 34
Scope of the Evaluation
The CEO and CFO's evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls included a review of the controls' (i) objectives, (ii) design, (iii) implementation, and (iv) the effect of the controls on the information generated for use in this report. In the course of the Evaluation, the CEO and CFO sought to identify data errors, control problems, acts of fraud, and they sought to confirm that appropriate corrective action, including process improvements, was being undertaken. This type of evaluation is done on a quarterly basis so that the conclusions concerning the effectiveness of our controls can be reported in our quarterly reports on Fo rm 10-QSB and annual reports on Form 10-KSB.
Among other matters, we sought in our Evaluation to determine whether there were any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our Internal Controls, which are reasonably likely to adversely affect our ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information, or whether we had identified any acts of fraud, whether or not material, involving management or other employees who have a significant role in our Internal Controls. This information was important for both the Evaluation, generally, and because the Rule 13a-14(a)/15d-14(a) Certifications, Item 5, require that the CEO and CFO disclose &n bsp;that information to our Board , and to our independent auditors, and to report on related matters in this section of the quarterly report. In the professional auditing literature, "significant deficiencies" are referred to as "reportable conditions". These are control issues that could have significant adverse affect on the ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data in the financial statements. A "material weakness" is defined in the auditing literature as a particularly serious reportable condition where the internal control does not reduce, to a relatively low level, the risk that misstatement cause by error or fraud may occur in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements and not be detected within a timely period by employee in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We also sought to deal with other controls matters in the Evaluation, and in each case, if a problem was identified; we considered what revisions, improvements and/or corrections to make in accordance with our ongoing procedures.
Conclusions
The Company intends to implement disclosure controls and procedures as designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives subsequent to the period ended June 30, 2010. Our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective at that reasonable assurance level to ensure that material information relating to the Company is not made known to management, including the CEO and CFO, particularly during the period when our periodic reports are being prepared, and that our Internal Controls are ineffective at that assurance level to provide reasonable assurance that our financial statements are fairly presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Management is currently making efforts to improve disclosure controls and procedures that are effective.

Legal Proceedings
No officer, director, or persons nominated for such positions and no promoter or significant employee has been involved in legal proceedings that would be material to an evaluation of our management.
Independence
The board of directors is currently composed of four members, one of whom, Gregory Galanis, is a member of the management of Sweet Spot. The OTC Bulletin Board does not have rules regarding director independence. The following directors, Bruce Maxim, Gerald Mills and Art Benjamin, are considered “independent” as defined under the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market. Accordingly, only one member of the board is an independent director under the NASDAQ definition
Audit Committee
We do not have a separately designated standing audit committee. Pursuant to Section 3(a) (58) (B) of the Exchange Act, the entire Board of Directors acts as an audit committee for the purpose of overseeing the accounting and financial reporting processes, and audits of our financial statements. The Commission recently adopted new regulations relating to audit committee composition and functions, including disclosure requirements relating to the presence of an "audit committee financial expert" serving on its audit committee. In connection with these new requirements, our Board of Directors examined the Commission's definition of "audit committee financial expert" and concluded that we do not currently have a person that qualifies as such an expert. We have had minimal operations for the past two (2) years. Presently, there are only four (4) directors serving on our Board, and us are not in a position at this time to attract, retain and compensate additional director s in order to acquire a director who qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert", but we intend to retain an additional director who will qualify as such an expert, as soon as reasonably practicable. While neither of our current directors meets the qualifications of an "audit committee financial expert", each of our directors, by virtue of his past employment experience, has considerable knowledge of financial statements, finance, and accounting, and has significant employment experience involving financial oversight responsibilities. Accordingly, we believe that our current directors capably fulfill the duties and responsibilities of an audit committee in the absence of such an expert.
Page 38
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a code of ethic (the "Code of Ethics") that applies to our principal chief executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. The Code of Ethics is being designed with the intent to deter wrongdoing, and to promote the following:
| |
· | Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships |
· | Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a small business issuer files with, or submits to, the Commission and in other public communications made by the small business issuer |
·
Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations
·
The prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the code
·
Accountability for adherence to the code
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, all executive officers, directors, and each person who is the beneficial owner of more than 10% of the common stock of a company that files reports pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, are required to report the ownership of such common stock, options, and stock appreciation rights (other than certain cash-only rights) and any changes in that ownership with the Commission. Specific due dates for these reports have been established, and we are required to report, in this Form 10-K, any failure to comply therewith during the fiscal year ended December2009. We believe that all of these filing requirements were satisfied by our executive officers, directors and by the beneficial owners of more than 10% of our common stock. In making this statement, hawse have relied solely on copies of any reporting forms received by it, and upon any written representations received from reporting persons that no Form 5 (Annual Statement of Changes in Benefici al Ownership) was required to be filed under applicable rules of the Commission.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCK HOLDER MATTERS
The following table contains certain information as of June 30, 2010 as to the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by (i) each person known by the Company to own beneficially more than 5% of the Company’s Common Stock, (ii) each person who is a Director of the Company, (iii) all persons as a group who are Directors and Officers of the Company, and as to the percentage of the outstanding shares held by them on such dates and as adjusted to give effect to this Offering.

The directors, executive officers, their affiliates, and related parties own, directly or indirectly, beneficially and in the aggregate, the majority of the voting power of the outstanding capital of the Company. Accordingly, directors, executive officers and their affiliates, if they voted their shares uniformly, would have the ability to control the approval of most corporate actions, including approving significant expenses, increasing the authorized capital and the dissolution, merger or sale of the Company's assets.

Pre-Approval Policy for Audit and Non-Audit Services
We do not have a standing audit committee, and the full Board performs all functions of an audit committee, including the pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services before we engage an accountant. All of the services rendered to us by Brock, Schechter & Polakoff, LLP CPA were pre-approved by our Board of Directors.
The new policies and procedures will be detailed as to the particular service, will require that the Board or an audit committee thereof be informed of each service, and will prohibit the delegation of pre-approval responsibilities to management. It is currently anticipated that our new policy will provide (i) for an annual pre-approval, by the Board or audit committee, of all audit, audit-related and non-audit services proposed to be rendered by the independent auditor for the fiscal year, as specifically described in the auditor's engagement letter, and (ii) that additional engagements of the auditor, which were not approved in the annual pre-approval process, and engagements that are anticipated to exceed previously approved thresholds, will be presented on a case-by-case basis, by the President or Controller, for pre-approval by the Board or audit committee, before management
Page 43
engages the auditors for any such purposes. The new policy and procedures may authorize the Board or audit committee to delegate, to one or more of its members, the authority to pre-approve certain permitted services, provided that the estimated fee for any such service does not exceed a specified dollar amount (to be determined). All pre-approvals shall be contingent on a finding, by the Board, audit committee, or delegate, as the case may be, that the provision of the proposed services is compatible with the maintenance of the auditor's independence in the conduct of its auditing functions. In no event shall any non-audit related service be approved that would result in the independent auditor no longer being considered independent under the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
