(1) Nature of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Organization
Full Throttle Indoor Kart Racing, Inc. (referenced as “we”, “us”, “our” in the accompanying notes) was incorporated in the State of Colorado on July 10, 2009. We were organized to engage in the business of providing a race-themed entertainment venue. We have not earned any revenue since our inception, and we did not own any inventory at February 28, 2011.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a limited operating history and has suffered losses since inception. These factors, among others, may indicate that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern.
During the period from inception through February 28, 2011, we have sold common stock to insiders in order to raise capital to build our facility and commence revenue-producing operations. However, as of February 28, 2011, we have not yet built the facility nor have we engaged in revenue-producing operations. In the longer term, we plan to raise the necessary capital to build our facility, begin revenue producing operations and eventually be profitable. There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising the capital required to develop our operations or that we will attain profitability.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and/or liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to meet our obligations on a timely basis, and, ultimately to attain profitability.
Our management believes that the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The unaudited financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for our most recently completed fiscal year ended May 31, 2010, and their accompanying notes.
Development Stage Company
We are in the development stage in accordance with the Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles permits management 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid securities with original maturities of three months or less when acquired, to be cash equivalents. We had no cash equivalents at February 28, 2011 (unaudited) and May 31, 2010.

Notes to Financial Statements
Property, Equipment and Depreciation
Property and equipment are stated at cost. We intend to depreciate our fixed assets using the Double Declining Balance Method (200% DB) over their estimated useful lives (estimated between three and ten years), once placed into service. We placed the Sodi Kart into service during the quarter ending February 28, 2011.
Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of equipment sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss will be recorded in the year of disposal.
Financial Instruments
Our financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. At February 28, 2011 (unaudited) and May 31, 2010, the fair value of our financial instruments approximates book value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. These fair value estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes, nor do we utilize derivative instruments.
The FASB Codification states that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. It also requires disclosure about how fair value is determined for assets and liabilities and establishes a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped based on significant levels of inputs as follows:
| Level 1 | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| Level 2: | Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability. |
| Level 3: | Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Earnings (Loss) per Common Share
We report loss per share using a dual presentation of basic and diluted loss per share. Basic loss per share excludes the impact of common stock equivalents. Diluted loss per share utilizes the average market price per share when applying the treasury stock method in determining common stock equivalents. At February 28, 2011 (unaudited) and May 31, 2010, there were no variances between the basic and diluted loss per share as there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes as required by the Income Tax Topic of the FASB ASC, which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

Notes to Financial Statements
We have analyzed filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where we are required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. The Company has identified its federal tax return and its state tax return in Colorado as “major” tax jurisdictions, as defined. We are not currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service or any other jurisdiction. The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded.
Fiscal Year-end
The Company operates on a May 31 year-end.
(2) Related Party Transactions
During the period from August 1, 2009 through August 31, 2010, we received office space from our CFO at a rate of $100 per month. Rent expense totaled $1,300 (unaudited) for the period from July 10, 2009 (inception) through August 31, 2010. These amounts have been recognized as Additional paid-in capital, contributed by the CFO for the periods presented.
Effective July 10, 2009, we issued 700,000 shares of our common stock to our founder/president in exchange for the acquisition by the Company of all of the rights, title and interest in and to the Full Throttle Indoor Kart Racing Business and Capital Formation Plan that he had prepared. The transaction was recorded at fair value, as determined by the Board of Directors, totaling $510.
Effective August 20, 2009, we issued 150,000 shares of our common stock to our CFO in exchange for provision of general financial services in the capacity of CFO of Full Throttle Indoor Kart Racing, Inc. during the development and initial start-up of the company. The transaction was recorded at fair value, as determined by the Board of Directors, totaling $1,500.
During March and April 2010, we sold 150,000 shares of our common stock to four directors for $25,000 each ($.1667 per share), resulting in total proceeds of $100,000.
(3) Shareholders’ Equity
On July 11, 2009, we issued 150,000 shares of our common stock to our attorney in exchange for services related to the development of the company. The transaction was recorded at fair value of the services rendered, totaling $1,000.

Notes to Financial Statements
At February 28, 2011, deferred tax assets consisted of a net tax asset of $12,873 (unaudited), due to operating loss carryforwards of $67,980 (unaudited), which was fully allowed for in the valuation allowance of $9,229 (unaudited). The valuation allowance offsets the net deferred tax asset for which there is no assurance of recovery. The change in the valuation allowance for the nine months ended February 28, 2011 totaled $10,963 (unaudited).
At May 31, 2010, deferred tax assets consisted of a net tax asset of $1,910, due to operating loss carryforwards of $10,086, which was fully allowed for in the valuation allowance of $1,910. The valuation allowance offsets the net deferred tax asset for which there is no assurance of recovery. The change in the valuation allowance for the period ended May 31, 2010 totaled $1,910. The current tax benefit also totaled $1,910 for the period ended May 31, 2010. The net operating loss carryforward expires through the year 2030.
The valuation allowance will be evaluated at the end of each year, considering positive and negative evidence about whether the deferred tax asset will be realized. At that time, the allowance will either be increased or reduced; reduction could result in the complete elimination of the allowance if positive evidence indicates that the value of the deferred tax assets is no longer impaired and the allowance is no longer required.
Should we undergo an ownership change as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, our net tax operating loss carryforwards generated prior to the ownership change will be subject to an annual limitation, which could reduce or defer the utilization of these losses.
