BUSINESS OF TRADINGEAR.COM, INCORPORATED:
Principal products or services and their markets
The Company currently develops software Applications (“APPS”) for the Apple iphone and other devices. These software applications, known as “SportsCast Baseball,” SportsCast Basketball, and SportsCast Soccer,” were purchased from Gaer Consulting Group, a related party. Gaer Consulting Group was wholly-owned by Sam Gaer, TGFIN’s largest single shareholder. These applications were new software applications with no previous operating history.
Marketing and Distribution methods
The Applications are sold online at the Apple Store, which charges a 30% fee for marketing and distribution. Currently the APPS are being offered for free in order to build an advertising audience.
Competitive business conditions
There are currently approximately 500,000 active Apps available at the Apple Store. Developers range from small, single App developers, to large professional clearing house incubators. Competition for ideas is intense and many competitors advertise to attract ideas and even offer to co-develop Apps with the idea originator. The Company offered developers Shares of TGFIN common stock in exchange for their Apps. This is an avenue the Company still continues to offer and evaluate.
Patents, Copyrights and Trademarks
The Company owns the copyrights and trade names for all the Apps it has purchased.
Research and Product Development
The company spent no resources on research and project development in 2011 and 2010. However, Gaer Consulting group, a related party, spent $12,000 in developing the Apps that were purchased by the Company. The Company capitalized this cost when it purchased the Apps.
Employees
As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had no employees. Two former part-time employees donate their time to the company. The estimated cost of work provided is imputed and recorded as a non-cash expense of the company. The Company is not a party to any collective bargaining agreements.

Shareholders
As of December 31, 2011, the Company had 807 record holders of its Common Stock, and 14 record holders of its Series 1, Class A 8% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the Preferred Stock).
Dividends
The Company had not paid any dividends on its Common Stock and the Board of Directors of the Company presently intends not to declare dividends, but to pursue a policy of retaining earnings, if any, for use in the Company's operations and to finance expansion of its business. The declaration and payment of dividends in the future on the Common Stock will be determined by the Board of Directors in light of conditions then existing, including the Company's earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors. In addition, as noted below, the Company is in arrears in the payment of dividends on its Preferred Stock.
Holders of preferred shares are entitled to cumulative dividends of 8% per annum on the stated value of the stock, designated at $7 per share. Dividends are payable semi-annually on September 15 and March 15. No dividends have been paid since March 15, 1993, resulting in dividends in arrears at December 31, 2011 of approximately $522,144 or $10.36 per share. Dividends are not payable on any other class of stock ranking junior to the preferred stock until the full cumulative dividend requirements of the preferred stock have been satisfied. There are not sufficient preferred shares (left unconverted) to trade publicly and the financial condition of the company has made the probability of dividend payment to preferred shareholders unlikely.

ITEM 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto. See "ITEM 8 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS".
Management's Discussion and Analysis:
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated historical financial statements of the Company and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. This discussion contains forward-looking statements regarding the business and industry of the Company within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on the current plans and expectations of the Company and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual future activities and results of operations to be materially different from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. The information set forth and discussed below for the years ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was derived from the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
2011 VERSUS 2010
Operating costs for the year ended December 31, 2011 of $69,527 decreased $62,047 or 47.2%, over those of the year ended December 31, 2010 of $131,574 due primarily to: (1) reduced payroll expenses of $28,584 or 40.8% (the payroll expenses for 2011 consisted of $38,000 of non-cash, imputed cost of labor donated, and $3,000 of stock compensation costs for shares not yet issued) and (2) reduced Selling, General and Administrative costs of $31,229, or 83.1%, mostly due to reduced Insurance expense of $24,532 or 98.2%.
5
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
At its current level of operations, the Company will need to begin profitable operations and or raise additional capital during the next fiscal year.
In 2010, the Company purchased software for the carryover-basis cost of $12,000 with 600,000 options to purchase its common stock within a three year period. There were no capital expenditures in 2011.
CURRENT PLAN OF OPERATIONS
The company plans to merge with or acquire an existing company during the year ending December 31, 2011. Should the acquired or merged operating entity not have sufficient resources of its own to fund the combined entity’s operations, the Company will issue stock to raise sufficient operating capital.
Management encourages its shareholders to communicate directly with the Company for its typical investor relations, including address changes and for general corporate information by calling or writing to the Company at its administrative offices or by posting a message to tradingear@comcast.net. Management also encourages shareholders to keep their address current with the Company.
DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This annual report includes forward looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties. Such statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking language such as "will likely result", "may", "are expected to", "is anticipated", "estimate", "believes", "projected", or similar words. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this section, are forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in any such forward-looking statements as a result of various risks, including, without limitation, the dependence on a single line of business; the failure to close proposed financing; rapid technological change; inability to attract and retain key personnel; the potential for significant fluctuations in operating results; the loss of a major customer; and the potential volatility of the Company's common stock.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
TGFIN Holdings, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Smithfield, Utah
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of TGFIN Holdings, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TGFIN Holdings, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 5 to the financial statements, the Company's recurring losses from operations raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans as to these matters are also described in Note 5. The 2011 and 2010 financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2011 and 2010
1. THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company
The Company consists of TGFIN Holdings, Inc. (“TGFIN,” non-operating parent corporation) and its sole and wholly-owned operating subsidiary, TradinGear.Com, Incorporated (“Tradingear,” combined, the "Company"). The Company reactivated its previously inactive operating subsidiary, Tradingear in order to resume its previous business of developing software, under a new d/b/a: iDEV3. On February 19, 2010 Tradingear purchased software applications in exchange for 600,000 options to purchase shares of TGFIN Common Stock at $.03 per share at any time between August 19, 2011 and August 19, 2013.
TGFIN Holdings, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of Delaware in March 1985 as Mark, Inc. From March 1992 to September 12, 2002 TGFIN Holdings, Inc. was known as Digitran Systems, Incorporated ("DSI").On September 12, 2002 DSI acquired TradinGear.com, Incorporated in a reverse merger whereby the shareholders of TradinGear.com, Incorporated acquired control of DSI and (effective September 13, 2002) changed its name to TGFIN Holdings, Inc.; at which time, TradinGear.com, Incorporated (incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 7, 1999) became the operating subsidiary of TGFIN Holdings, Inc. TGFIN Holdings, Inc. sold the assets of Tradingear.com Incorporated effective March 31, 2003.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying financial statements consolidate the accounts of the parent company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements reflect the consolidation of Digitran's Balance Sheet as of September 12, 2002, the date of the merger.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Carrying amounts of certain of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, approximate fair value because of their short maturities.
Use of Management's Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from iphone application downloads when funds commissions are earned.

1. THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Investments
The Company accounts for its investments in debt and equity securities in accordance with ASC 320-10,which requires that investments in debt securities and marketable equity securities be designated as trading, held-to-maturity or available-for-sale.
Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments in debt and equity securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determinations at each balance sheet date. Debt securities for which the Company does not have the intent or ability to hold to maturity are classified as available for sale, along with any investments in equity securities. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of income taxes, reported as a separate component of Stockholders' Equity.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated for financial accounting purposes on the straight-line method over their respective estimated useful lives ranging from three to thirty-nine years. Upon retirement or other disposition of these assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gains or losses are reflected in the results of operations.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. Depreciation of leased equipment under capital leases is included in depreciation.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company adopted ASC 360-10, which requires that long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by sale be measured at the lower of book value or fair value less cost to sell. Discontinued operations includes all components of an entity with operations that:
(1) can be distinguished from the rest of the entity, and
(2) will be eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity in a disposal
transaction.
All long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Any impairment in value is recognized as an expense in the period when the impairment occurs.

1. THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for the issuance of stock, stock options, stock warrants and other share based payment arrangements in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718-10. We measure compensation costs related to our share-based payment transactions at fair value on the grant date and recognize those costs in the financial statements over the vesting period during which the employee provides service in exchange for the grant.
On January 1, April 1, and October 1, 2011, the Company awarded, but has not issued 300,000 total shares of common stock for compensation to Directors and Officers in accordance with the terms of their respective compensation or employment agreements. The shares were valued at the market price at the date of issuance of $.01, resulting in current year compensation expense of $3,000.
On January 1, April 1, and effective December 31, 2010, the Company awarded, but has not issued, 1,200,000 total shares of common stock for compensation to a Director and an Officer for compensation. The shares were valued at the market price at the date of issuance, ranging between $.01 and $.02 per share, resulting in current year compensation expense and recognized stock compensation payable of $13,000.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes earnings or loss per share in accordance with ASC 260-10. Basic earnings per share excludes the dilutive effects of options, warrants and convertible securities and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other agreements to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Diluted earnings per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding.
Common equivalent shares also include the incremental common shares issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock (using the if-converted method). Common equivalent shares are excluded from the calculation if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year balances to conform to the current year presentation.
Income Taxes
The Company’s operations have not changed significantly compared to prior years. The Company’s tax position taken in prior years for deferred income taxes has been provided by temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes. To the extent allowed by GAAP, we provide valuation allowances against the deferred tax assets for amounts when the realization is uncertain. Management reviews these items regularly in light of changes in tax laws and court rulings at both federal and state levels.

1. THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Income Taxes (Continued)
To address accounting for uncertainty in tax positions, the Company clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold that a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. The company also provides guidance on de-recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and the state of Utah. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2007.
Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as additional income taxes in the statement of income.
Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws and rates of the date of enactment.
When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.
Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified as additional income taxes in the statement of income.
Sales Tax
In accordance with FASB ASC 605-45, formerly EITF Issue 06-3, How Taxes Collected From Customers and Remitted to Government Authorities Should be Presented in the Income Statement, the Company will account for sales taxes on its goods and services on a gross basis in the statement of operations and retained earnings.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company holds the majority of its excess cash in interest-bearing instruments with short term (less than one year) maturities at several financial institutions. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be a cash equivalent.

During the years ended December 31, 2011and 2010 the Company recorded Amortization expense of $4,000 and $3,449, respectively.
3. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

3. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES (continued)
The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal income tax rates of 39% to pretax income from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 due to the following:
| | | |
| 2011 | | 2010 |
Book Income | $ (27,100) | | $ (51,205) |
Related Part Interest | 1,200 | | - |
Stock for Services/Contributed services | (16,000) | | 5,070 |
Valuation Allowance | 41,900 | | 46,135 |
Provision for Income Taxes | $ - | | $ - |
At December 31, 2011, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $3,935,000 that may be offset against future taxable income from the year 2011 through 2030. No tax benefit has been reported in the December 31, 2011 financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry-forwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carry-forwards may be limited as to use in future years.

5. GOING CONCERN QUALIFICATION
The Company has been a Development Stage Company since April 1, 2003. It has continuously sought an acceptable merger or acquisition candidate since then and has incurred losses each year. For the year ended December 31, 2011 the company lost $69,432 and had a Retained Deficit of $4,193,079. The company’s cash reserves of $952 as of December 31, 2011 are not adequate to fund all of the anticipated expenses for the year ending December 31, 2011. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The company plans to merge with or acquire an existing company during the year ending December 31, 2011. Should the acquired or merged operating entity not have sufficient resources of its own to fund the combined entity’s operations, the Company will issue stock to raise sufficient operating capital.

Dividends are not payable on any other class of stock ranking junior to the preferred stock until the full cumulative dividend requirements of the preferred stock have been satisfied. The preferred stock carries a liquidation preference equal to its stated value plus any unpaid dividends. The Company may, at its option, redeem at any time all shares of the preferred stock or some of them upon notice to each preferred stockholder at a per share price equal to the stated value ($7.00) plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon (whether or not declared) to the date fixed for redemption, subject to certain other provisions and requirements.

ITEM 9A(T): CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires management to include in this Annual Report on Form 10-K a report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s external auditors were not engaged to examine management's assertion about the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 and, accordingly, they did not express an opinion thereon.
Management of TGFIN Holdings, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
·
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of TGFIN Holdings, Inc.;
·
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of TGFIN Holdings, Inc. are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of TGFIN Holdings, Inc.; and
·
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of TGFIN Holdings, Inc.’ s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) of the Treadway Commission.
Based on our assessment and those criteria, our management believes that TGFIN Holdings, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for TGFIN Holdings, Inc. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in enabling the Company to record, process, summarize and report information required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings within the required time period.
21
Changes in Internal Control. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management of TGFIN Holdings, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiary (the Company), is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As of the end of the Company’s 2011 fiscal year, management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) of the Treadway Commission. Based on our assessment and those criteria, our management concluded that TGFIN Holdings, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011.
