BUSINESS OVERVIEW

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

SportsNuts, Inc. (sometimes referred to hereinafter as the “Company”) is a sports management and marketing company, with a focus on community-based amateur athletics.  Incorporated in Delaware on July 12, 1996, the Company helps organize and manage certain community sports events, providing online registration, merchandise sales, event sponsorship, and event coordination.

Until March 1, 2007, the Company offered computer hardware sales and related services through Secure Netwerks, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary.  On that date, the Company spun-off the shares of Secure Netwerks on a pro-rata basis to its shareholders such that Secure Netwerks became an independent company.  Following the spin-off, due to the substantially decreased level of revenues and operations of the Company, SportsNuts, became a “shell company” as defined in 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

BUSINESS FOCUS

The Company targets organized sports events with various marketing and technology services to increase consumer satisfaction, athlete participation, corporate involvement, and purchasing opportunities.  The Company also seeks to create increased awareness of participating events within surrounding communities.  Through it’s Internet properties, the Company provides online event registration, merchandise sales, event website hosting, and the issuance of targeted e-mails to sports participants who have requested information about upcoming sporting events.  Event administrators can access and download customizable reports on their events, requesting a full financial breakdown or simply creating a report that displays the name and t-shirt size of each participant.

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

Generally.  Product development expenses related to the Company’s Internet services consist primarily of payroll, software and systems, and related costs for programmers and software developers.  Product development expenses related to the Company’s information technology consulting consists primarily of payroll and systems development for the web site hosting services.  Where appropriate, the Company capitalizes certain systems development costs in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Software Development.  The heart of the Company’s services is the sports information management system user base. A database contains all the detailed information that the Company gathers on every person who registers for a sports event through the Company’s web site.  The database software holds and manipulates all such information. This database is built with Sequel software.  The Company has invested in this software in order to insure reliability as well as scalability.  For the size of the Company’s computer systems and the volume of throughput, Sequel databases are typically the fastest and are easily moved from one computer platform to another. The database can efficiently provide any of the stored information when it is automatically requested by the Company’s web site, software applications or manually requested by an employee for corporate use.

MARKET ANALYSIS/OPPORTUNITIES

The market for products and services among amateur sports enthusiasts in the United States is rapidly evolving and intensely competitive with a large number of competitors in the Internet sports industry.  However, the niche market in which the Company competes possesses relatively few amateur sports organizations that can provide a comprehensive marketing and technological approach to organizations that seek to increase participation and attendance for their events.  However, there can be no assurance that the Company can maintain a competitive position against current or future competitors as they enter the markets

in which it competes, particularly those with greater financial, marketing, service, support, technical and other resources than those possessed by the Company.  The Company’s failure to maintain a competitive position within the market could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The Reach of Amateur Sports. Amateur sports in the United States has a massive following, estimated by the Company at 135 million fans, 76 million active participants, 4 million organized teams, and over $30 billion spent annually on products and services.

Amateur sports touch multiple audiences (athletes, fans, coaches, officials, sports physicians, athletic directors, community sports writers) who generally want to enhance the experience for themselves and the participants.  At the grass-roots level, amateur sports tend to generate more emotional involvement than any other activity with the exception of academic education.  The dreams of millions of athletes are pursued through sports and many families live vicariously through sports in various supporting roles.  Amateur sports typically require a substantial investment of time and money.  The demographic profile of amateur sports enthusiasts is therefore strong relative to recreational spending.

The Internet.  Sports have been a core staple in the development of the Internet.  Over thirty million users in the United States access the Internet each day for sports-related information.  The administration of amateur sports organizations and events and the information management of amateur sports data lend itself to unique marketing approaches that can be greatly facilitated through various web-based solutions, but are currently not addressed efficiently by any single organization.

Market Segmentation/User Needs

Generally.  The Company has divided the grass roots amateur sports market into three specific segments: (i) Youth Sports (ages 5-13), (ii) High School Sports (ages 14-18), and (iii) Adult Recreation Sports (ages 19+).  As discussed below, the Company believes that there are approximately 76 million persons within these three categories, or roughly thirty percent of the U.S. population.  Each segment has specific interests and needs, but they all share the common goal of improving the amateur athletic experience by strengthening coaching and playing skills and providing easier access to reliable information and quality products and services.

Youth Sports.  The Company estimated that there are roughly three million organized youth sports teams in the United States.  Each team has an average of 12 players (36 million total players).  However, since most children play more than one sport, the Company estimates that the number of unique participants in this segment to be 24 million.

Youth sports are typically less organized and managed far less efficiently than high school or adult recreational sports.   The registration, rostering, and scheduling process is costly and cumbersome for youth sports organizations.  In addition, game and event information is usually difficult to obtain, including time and location of contest, profile of the opposing team, and a summary of the event itself.  Coaching at the youth sports level is often highly erratic, with a large number of children either inspired by or alienated toward organized sports for life during this period.  Youth coaches require a variety of resources necessary to improve the quality of the instructional environment.  Finally, youth sports are constantly in need of funding for equipment, facilities, and transportation.

High School Sports.  The Company estimates that there are approximately 20,000 high schools in the United States, with approximately 25 teams of 20 athletes each per school across all sports and grade levels (10 million total players).  As with youth sports, since most teens play more than one sport, the Company estimates that the number of unique participants, together with a significant number of non-athlete participants (e.g. drill team members, cheerleaders, and equipment managers) in this segment to be 8 million.

Competition becomes significantly more important relative to youth sports as athletes reach their teenage years.  Nevertheless, current methods of tracking the history or performance of an individual or team are difficult or impossible, and broad comparison and ranking systems are largely unavailable.  Moreover, the scouting process is often unreliable, time consuming, and cost prohibitive.  High school athletes desire the type of tangible performance measurements and statistics available through the Company’s sports information management system.  In addition, those prep athletes with aspirations to participate in collegiate athletics are highly interested in scholarship and college placement opportunities afforded by increased exposure to college recruiters.  As with youth sports, high school sports programs are also chronically underfunded.  Finally, because of the increased intensity level of high school sports and the resulting injuries, these athletes will likely require access to sports medicine services, which is currently not available from any comprehensive source online.

Parents/Adult Recreation Sports.  The Company estimates that the 32 million children and teens participating in amateur sports will have at least one non-participant supporter, most likely a parent.  Although most youth and high school athletes have more than one parent who follows their activities, many parents with children who play sports typically have more than one child participating in organized amateur sports.  Many of these adults also participate in recreational sports themselves.  The Company believes that an additional 12 million adults who participate in recreational sports do not currently have children engaged in amateur sports.  Accordingly, the Company estimates that 44 million U.S. adults follow a child who participates in amateur sports and/or personally participate in adult recreational sports.

Because competition as well as exercise is at the heart of adult sports participation, a source for statistical information is likely to be a significant attraction within this category.  These persons are also more likely to utilize sports medicine services, given their increased susceptibility to aches, soreness, and injury due to age and increasing fragility.  Sports-oriented adults have significant purchasing power relative to the youth sports and high school sports segment, particularly with credit card transactions over the Internet.  Adults desire a wide range of and sufficient information concerning products and services that cater to their interests.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The Company has registered the Internet domain names, “www.sportsnuts.com,” and “www.sportsnuts.net.”  Given the lack of resources available to the Company during 2008, the Company has not pursued any trademark applications for its name and brand.

The Company’s online registration and league management systems are not protected by any copyright or patent, and the Company does not anticipate filing an application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office for protection of any of these systems.  Although the Company believes that copyright and patent protection for these systems is either cost prohibitive or unnecessary, it may be wrong.  If the Company is wrong, it could face unexpected expenses pursuing, defending, or otherwise becoming involved in a copyright or patent dispute, any of which could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Because the Company has no formal trademark protection, other companies with names, marks, or slogans similar to SportsNuts could seek to require that the Company obtain a license from them or require the Company to change its name, either of which could entail substantial costs.  Additionally, if the Company were required to change its name, it could lose all goodwill associated with the “SportsNuts” mark.  In addition, future products and services offered by the Company may need to be marketed under different names if the mark “SportsNuts” causes confusion with another trade name being used by another company.  The Company could also incur substantial costs to defend any legal action taken against the Company pursuant to a trademark or service mark dispute.   If, in any legal action against the Company, its asserted trademarks, or service marks should be found to infringe upon intellectual property rights of a third party, the Company could be enjoined from further infringement and could be required to pay damages.  In the event a third party were to sustain a valid claim against the Company, and in the event a required license

 
5

 

were not available on commercially reasonable terms, the Company’s financial operations and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.  Litigation, which could result in substantial cost to and diversion of resources of the Company, may also be necessary to enforce intellectual property rights of the Company or to defend the Company against claimed infringements of the rights of others.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

There are currently few laws or regulations directly applicable to information technology or electronic commerce.  Due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet, it is possible that a number of laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet which could materially increase the cost of transacting business on the Internet.  Although transmissions from the Company’s Internet properties originate from the State of Utah, the government of the United States and the governments of other states and foreign countries might attempt to regulate such transmissions or assess taxes, fees, tariffs, duties, or other payments against the Company, its affiliates, or customers purchasing products or services through its internet properties of its clients.  Any such regulations or assessments could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

EMPLOYEES

As of March 20, 2009, the Company employed five persons on a part-time basis.  The Company believes that its future success will depend in part on its continued ability to attract, hire, and retain a sufficient number of highly skilled personnel.

REPORTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS

SportsNuts is subject to the information requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and in accordance therewith files quarterly and annual reports, as well as other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) under File No. 333-14477.  Such reports and other information filed with the Commission can be inspected and copied at the public reference facilities maintained by the Commission at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549 at prescribed rates, and at various regional and district offices maintained by the Commission throughout the United States.  Information about the operation of the Commission’s public reference facilities may be obtained by calling the Commission at 1-800-SEC-0330.  The Commission also maintains a website at http://www.sec.gov that contains reports and other information regarding the Company and other registrants that file electronic reports and information with the Commission.

ITEM 1A: RISK FACTORS

Operating Risks

Defaults in Senior Securities.  Effective February 1, 2000, the Company sold and issued a promissory note secured by virtually all tangible and intangible assets of the Company (“Note”) in exchange for $450,000 in cash proceeds.  As of May 1, 2000, the Company is in default with respect to the Note.  Although the Note holder continues to be supportive of the Company and its management, if the holder of the Note determines to foreclose upon the Note, the Company would likely be forced to sell all of its tangible and intangible assets to satisfy the obligation represented by the Note and would, therefore, likely cease operations entirely.  The Note and Security Agreement executed in connection therewith have been filed as an exhibit to the Company’s 1999 annual report on Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2000.

Company Not Currently Profitable.  The Company was organized on July 12, 1996.  Since the date of its inception, the Company has incurred substantial losses and has not yet generated a profit.  There is no assurance that the Company will ever become profitable.Risk of Computer System Failure.  The success of the Company is substantially dependent upon its ability to deliver high quality, uninterrupted access to its technology applications, which requires that the Company protect its computer hardware and

 
6

 

software systems and the data and information stored in connection therewith.  The Company’s systems are vulnerable to damage by fire, water (principally from overhead sprinkler systems that may be triggered by fire or excessive heat within the building in which the Company and other co-tenants operate), natural disaster, power loss, telecommunications failures, unauthorized intrusion, and other catastrophic events.  Any substantial interruption in the Company’s systems would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results, and financial condition.  In addition, the Company’s systems may be vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins, sabotage, or other problems caused by third parties which could lead to interruptions, delays, loss of data, or cessation in service to persons desiring to access the Company’s Internet properties.  The occurrence of any of these risks could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Electronic Data Transmission Security Risks.  A significant barrier to the electronic transmission of confidential data over the Internet is the perception that such data may not be secure.  The Company relies upon encryption and authentication technology to provide the security necessary to effect secure transmissions of confidential information.  There can be no assurance that advances in decryption technology, computer espionage, and other developments will not result in a breach or compromise of the algorithms used by the Company to protect transaction data of persons accessing the Company’s internet properties and internet properties of the Company’s clients, and therefore lead to the misappropriation of such data by third parties.  Any such breach, compromise, or misappropriation could damage the Company’s reputation and expose the Company to a risk of loss or litigation and possible liability, and could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s business, results of operations, or financial condition.No Proprietary Protection for Technology.  The Company’s online registration system, statistical information system, and the league management system are not protected by any copyright or patent, and the Company does not anticipate filing an application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) or the United States Copyright Office for protection of these systems.  Although the Company believes that copyright and patent protection for these systems is either cost prohibitive or unnecessary, it may be wrong.  If the Company is wrong, it could face unexpected expenses pursuing, defending, or otherwise becoming involved in a copyright or patent dispute, any of which could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Uncertain Protection of Trade Names and Related Intangible Assets.   The Company has registered the Internet domain names, “www.sportsnuts.com,” and “www.sportsnuts.net.”    Given the lack of financial resources available to the Company during 2008, the Company has not pursued trademark applications of its name and brand.  Consequently, other companies with names, marks, or slogans similar to SportsNuts could seek to require that the Company obtain a license from them or require the Company to change its name, either of which could entail substantial costs.  Additionally, if the Company were required to change its name, it could lose all goodwill associated with the “SportsNuts” mark.  In addition, future products and services offered by the Company may need to be marketed under different names if the mark “SportsNuts” causes confusion with another trade name being used by another company.  The Company could also incur substantial costs to defend any legal action taken against the Company pursuant to a trademark or service mark dispute.   If any legal action against the Company, its asserted trademarks, or service marks should be found to infringe upon intellectual property rights of a third party, the Company could be enjoined from further infringement and could be required to pay damages.  In the event a third party were to sustain a valid claim against the Company, and in the event a required license were not available on commercially reasonable terms, the Company’s financial operations and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.  Litigation, which could result in substantial cost to and diversion of resources of the Company, may also be necessary to enforce intellectual property rights of the Company or to defend the Company against claimed infringements of the rights of others.

Investment Risks

Speculative Investment.  The shares of the Company’s common stock are a speculative investment. To date, the Company has generated substantial losses and has yet to achieve a profit.  If the Company fails

 
7

 

to generate profits, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to meet its financial obligations and investors could lose their entire investments.

Likely Change of Control.  During 2009, it is likely that the Company may offer certain of its creditors the right to convert their debts into common stock of the Company based upon the current trading price of the Company’s Common Stock.  The conversion of even a portion of these debts will result in a change of control in favor of such creditors.  Such creditors will likely also include Kenneth Denos, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer.

Securities Class Action Claims Based Upon Price Fluctuation.  Securities class action claims have been brought against issuing companies in the past after volatility in the market price of a company’s securities.  With respect to the Company, such litigation could be very costly and divert the attention of the Company’s management and resources, and any adverse determination in such litigation could also subject the Company to significant liabilities, any or all of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.

No Active Market.  Although the Company’s shares are traded on the NASD Electronic Bulletin Board, the Company believes that the public trading price may be an inaccurate representation of the value of the Company because there is little or no trading volume in the Company’s shares and no analysts or NASD market makers actively follow the Company.

No Dividends.  The Company does not anticipate paying dividends on its Common Stock  in the foreseeable future, and may be restricted from paying dividends in the future pursuant to subsequent financing arrangements.

Anti-Takeover Provisions.  The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation contains certain provisions which could be an impediment to a non-negotiated change in control of the Company, namely an ability, without stockholder approval, to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock with rights and preferences determined by the board of directors, staggered terms for directors, and super-voting requirements.  These provisions could impede a non-negotiated change in control and thereby prevent stockholders from obtaining a premium for their Common Stock.

Securities Eligible for Public Trading.  All of the Company’s outstanding shares are either freely tradeable or immediately eligible for resale under Rule 144 promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  Sales of substantial amounts of freely tradeable stock in the public market could adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock.  The Company has also filed a registration statement with respect to its 2000 Stock Option Plan, the result of which could be the sale of a significant number of shares in the public market, and consequently, an adverse effect upon the public trading price of the Company’s Common Stock.

Private Liability of Management.  The Company has adopted provisions in its Certificate of Incorporation which limit the liability of its officers and directors and provisions in its bylaws which provide for indemnification by the Company of its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware corporate law.  The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation generally provides that its directors shall have no personal liability to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for breaches of their duties of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, acts involving unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions, or any transaction from which a director derives an improper personal benefit.  Such provisions substantially limit the shareholders’ ability to hold directors liable for breaches of fiduciary duty.

Potential Issuance of Additional Common and Preferred Stock.  The Company is authorized to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock.  To the extent of such authorization, the Board of Directors of the Company will have the ability, without seeking shareholder approval, to issue additional

 
8

 

shares of common stock in the future for such consideration as the Board of Directors may consider sufficient.  The issuance of additional Common Stock in the future may reduce the proportionate ownership and voting power of existing shareholders.  The Company is also authorized to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, the rights and preferences of which may be designated in series by the Board of Directors.  To the extent of such authorization, such designations may be made without shareholder approval.  The designation and issuance of series of preferred stock in the future would create additional securities which would have dividend and liquidation preferences over common stock.

Volatility of Stock Prices.  In the event that there is an established public market for the Company’s Common Stock, market prices will be influenced by many factors and will be more subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in operating results of the Company and other factors such as investor perceptions of the Company, supply and demand, interest rates, general economic conditions and those specific to the industry, developments with regard to the Company’s activities, future financial condition and management.

Applicability of Low Priced Stock Risk Disclosure Requirements.  The Common Stock of the Company may be considered a low priced security under rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Under these rules, broker-dealers participating in transactions in low priced securities must first deliver a risk disclosure document which describes the risks associated with such stocks, the broker-dealer’s duties, the customer’s rights and remedies, certain market and other information, and make a suitability determination approving the customer for low priced stock transactions based on the customer’s financial situation, investment experience and objectives.  Broker-dealers must also disclose these restrictions in writing to the customer, obtain specific written consent of the customer, and provide monthly account statements to the customer.  With all these restrictions, the likely effect of designation as a low priced stock will be to decrease the willingness of broker-dealers to make a market for the stock, to decrease the liquidity of the stock and to increase the transaction cost of sales and purchases of such stock compared to other securities.

 ITEM 2:  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

The Company’s executive offices are located in a 5,500 square foot facility in south Salt Lake County, Utah, twenty minutes from the Salt Lake City International Airport and adjacent to Interstate 15.  The Company subleases this facility from an entity controlled by Kenneth Denos, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer.  Base rent for use of this facility is $500.00 per month, on a month-to-month lease.

The Company believes that the size of its executive offices is adequate for its business, technology, and operational needs for the intermediate future.  In the aggregate, however, the Company believes that additional office space may be necessary in the near future to accommodate its growth.  The current commercial real estate market in Salt Lake City has sufficient capacity that management believes that the Company should not experience any significant difficulty in procuring additional office space as needed.

The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of SportsNuts, Inc. and its subsidiaries (hereafter collectively, “SportsNuts” or the “Company”) should be read in conjunction with the Audited Financial Statements and related Notes thereto included herein.   This discussion may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including, without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s expectations, beliefs, intentions, or future strategies that are signified by the words “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “believes,” or similar language.  Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward looking statements.  Prospective investors should carefully consider the information set forth below under the caption “Risk Factors” in addition to the other information set forth herein.  The Company cautions investors that its business and financial performance is subject to substantial risks and uncertainties.

Overview

SportsNuts is a sports management and marketing company, with a focus on community-based amateur athletics, providing unique solutions to the challenges faced by athletes and the organizations in which they participate.  The Company helps organize and manage various sports events, providing online registration, merchandise sales, event sponsorship, and event coordination.

SportsNuts endeavors to make events more profitable and efficient by promoting such events through various media channels, attracting corporate sponsorships, and providing technology tools to decrease administrative and personnel costs.

The Company previously provided computer hardware and related software sales through Secure Netwerks, Inc., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (“Secure Networks”).  On March 1, 2007, Secure Netwerks was spun off, on a pro-rata basis, to the shareholders of SportsNuts.  The spin-off is described in a report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 19, 2007.

The Company’s principal sources of revenues during 2008 were (i) online services targeted to sports organizations and their members, (ii) offline promotional, management, and sponsorship services provided in connection with community-based sports events, and (iii) computer hardware sales.  The ability to generate revenues during the year 2007 and beyond depends substantially upon the revenues relating to the Company’s amateur sports business, as the Company spun-off Secure Networks on March 1, 2007.

Expenses which comprise cost of goods sold are principally comprised of offline costs associated with the management and promotion of sporting events which the company has an active role.  Also included in cost of goods sold are commissions paid for information technology consulting contracts.  As more organizations utilize the Company’s technology services, future expenses included in cost of goods sold will be personnel and materials costs to administer these services, as well as potential fee sharing expenses to organizations involved in sports event management, and online registration and administration.

General and administrative expenses have been comprised of administrative wages and benefits; occupancy and office expenses; outside legal, accounting and other professional fees; travel and other miscellaneous office and administrative expenses.  Selling and marketing expenses include selling/marketing wages and benefits; advertising and promotional expenses; travel and other miscellaneous related expenses.  R&D expenses consist mainly of development expenses related to creating new technology applications.  In the future, the Company anticipates significant expenditures in business development to create strategic alliances with third parties, and in developing a sales channel to the various amateur sports organizations throughout the United States.

Because the Company has incurred losses, income tax expenses are immaterial.  No tax benefits have been booked related to operating loss carryforwards, given the uncertainty of the Company being able to utilize such loss carryforwards in future years.  The Company anticipates incurring additional losses during the coming year.

Results of Operations

Following is management’s discussion of the relevant items affecting results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Revenues.  The Company generated net revenues of $30,738 during the year ended December 31, 2008, which represents a 24% increase compared to $24,819 in net revenues during the year 2007.  The increase is the result of increased participation in events in which the company manages and also handles online registrations.  Following the spin-off of Secure Netwerks on March 1, 2007, the Company’s sole source of revenues will be related to sports events and services rendered pursuant thereto.  Accordingly, the Company anticipates that future overall consolidated revenues will likely be substantially lower than in prior periods.  Management therefore believes that SportsNuts is considered a “shell company” as defined in Rule 126-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Cost of Sales.  Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $12,626, a 10% increase from $11,508 during the year 2007.  This increase correlates with the increase in revenues.  Cost of sales were 41% of revenues in 2008 compared to 46% in 2007.  The Company anticipates that cost of sales will decrease in the future as a result of the spin-off of Secure Netwerks, Inc.  Other costs of sales consisted of online registration services, sports event management and promotional services, and sales commissions paid in connection with hardware sales and leases.

Salaries and Consulting Expenses.  Salaries and consulting expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $136,220, a 1% increase from $134,935 during the year 2007.  No major change was expected in salaries and consulting and management continues to make a concerted effort to decrease certain costs associated with personnel salaries and benefits and contract labor.

Professional Fees.  Professional fees for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $7,715, a 6% decrease from $8,170 during 2007.  No major change was expected in professional fees as the Company will continue to have audits and reviews of the financial statements.  Contributing to professional fees in 2007 was the legal and accounting fees associated with the spin-off of Secure Netwerks.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4,713 for the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared to $12,770 during 2007, a decrease of 63%.  The decrease is due to the company no longer covering certain benefits of employees such as health insurance.

 
12

 

Where appropriate, the Company capitalizes certain systems development costs in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Other Income (Expense).  The Company had net other expense of $117,569 for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to net other expense of $117,824 during 2007.  The expenses incurred were comprised primarily of interest expenses related to balances on Company credit cards and short term loans.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2008, the Company’s primary source of liquidity consisted of $1,034 in cash and cash equivalents.  The Company holds most of its cash reserves in local sweep accounts with local financial institutions.  Since inception, the Company has financed its operations through a combination of short and long-term loans, and through the private placement of its Common Stock.

The Company has sustained significant net losses which have resulted in an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2008 of $23,949,846 and is currently experiencing a substantial shortfall in operating capital which raises doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company generated a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2008 of $248,105 compared to a net loss in 2007 of $253,697.  The Company anticipates a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2009 and with the expected cash requirements for the coming months, without additional cash inflows from an increase in revenues combined with continued cost-cutting or a receipt of cash from capital investment, there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue operations.

The Company believes these conditions have resulted from the inherent risks associated with the small startup technology-oriented companies.  Such risks include, but are not limited to, the ability to (i) generate revenues and sales of its products and services at levels sufficient to cover its costs and provide a return for investors, (ii) attract additional capital in order to finance growth, (iii) further develop and successfully market commercial products and services, and (iv) successfully compete with other comparable companies having financial, production and marketing resources significantly greater than those of the Company.

The Company believes that its capital resources are insufficient for ongoing operations, with minimal current cash reserves.  The Company will likely require considerable amounts of financing to make any significant advancement in its business strategy.  There is presently no agreement in place with any source of financing and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise any additional funds, or that such funds will be available on acceptable terms.  Funds raised through future equity financing will likely be substantially dilutive to current shareholders.  Lack of additional funds will materially affect the Company and its business, and may cause the Company to cease operations.  Consequently, shareholders could incur a loss of their entire investment in the Company.

We conducted our audit 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company has determined that it 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 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 audit provides 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 SportsNuts, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 7 to the financial statements, the Company has negative working capital, negative cash flows from operations and recurring operating losses which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 7.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SPORTSNUTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 and 2007

NOTE 1 -   ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 
a.
Organization and Description of Business

 
SportsNuts, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 12, 1996.  On April 15, 2001 the Company changed its name from SportsNuts.com International, Inc. to SportsNuts, Inc.  Prior to the reorganization with SportsNuts.com, Inc. (“SportsNuts”), a privately held Delaware corporation, on April 6, 1999, the Company had not commenced active business operations and was considered a development stage company.

 
The Company’s primary business is providing unique solutions to the challenges faced by amateur athletes and the organizations in which they participate.  The Company helps organize and manage a wide variety of sports events, providing online registration and merchandise sales, event sponsorship, event coordination, and online and offline promotion.  The Company is the emerging technology leader in sports information systems and the only organization of its kind to compliment its technology solutions with offline, marketing, sales, and support.  The Company’s mission is to become the ultimate resource for event coordinators, administrators, athletes, fans, and coaches.

 
Effective April 15, 2001, the Company issued 3,800,000 shares of its common stock to acquire Rocky Mountain Sports Alliance, Inc. (“RMSA”) in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of RMSA common stock.  The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase per APB No. 16.  The RMSA is a sports management firm located in Salt Lake City, Utah and currently holds the rights to a number of sports events throughout Utah and the surrounding intermountain area.  Management believes that the addition of the RMSA to the Company’s technology solutions gives the Company a unique position in the amateur sports industry in being able to provide offline as well as online support to teams, leagues, and sports organizations.

 
b.
Accounting Method

 
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting.  The Company has elected a December 31 year end.

 
c.
Cash and Cash Equivalents

 
Cash Equivalents include short-term, highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition.

 
d.
Property and Equipment

 
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.  Major additions and improvements are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line and accelerated methods over estimated useful lives as follows:

Computer hardware
3 years
Computer software
3 years
Office equipment
7 years

Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $145 and $993, respectively.

SPORTSNUTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2008 and 2007

NOTE 1 -
ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 
e.
Accounts Receivable

 
Accounts receivable are recorded net of the allowance for doubtful accounts of $-0- as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.  The Company generally offers 30-day credit terms on sales to its customers and requires no collateral.  The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts which is determined based on a number of factors, including each customer’s financial condition, general economic trends and management judgment.

 
f.
Revenue Recognition

 
Revenue is recognized upon completion of services or delivery of goods where the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.  Advance customer payments are recorded as deferred revenue until such time as they are recognized.  The Company does not offer any cash rebates.  Returns or discounts, if any, are netted against gross revenues.  For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, sales are recorded net of the allowance for returns and discounts of $-0-.

 
g.
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.

 
h.
Advertising

 
The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred.  Advertising expense is included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations as it relates directly to the revenues associated with events managed by the Company.  Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $1,232 and $1,754, respectively.

The basic income (loss) per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding during the period of the financial statements. Common shares to be issued from preferred stock, warrants, and options are not included in the computation because they would have an antidilutive effect on the net loss per common share.

Provision for Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, using the liability method.  The estimated future tax effect of differences between the basis in assets and liabilities for tax and accounting purposes is accounted for as deferred taxes.  In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, a valuation allowance would be established to reduce deferred tax assets if it were more likely than not that all or some portion, of such deferred tax assets would not be realized.  A full allowance against deferred tax assets was provided as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.

At December 31, 2008 the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $9,340,000 that may be offset against future taxable income through 2028.  No tax benefits have been reported in the financial statements, because the potential tax benefits of the net operating loss carry forwards are 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 carryforwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations.  Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in the future.

Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of December 31, 2008 and 2007:

o.         Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain items at fair value. The objective of this standard is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reporting earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. Entities will report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option: (a) may be applied instrument by instrument, with a few exceptions, such as investments accounted for by the equity method; (b) is irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs); and (c) is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

o.       Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”). SFAS 141(R) replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”, but retains the requirement that the purchase method of accounting for acquisitions be used for all business combinations. SFAS 141(R) expands on the disclosures previously required by SFAS 141, better
defines the acquirer and the acquisition date in a business combination, and establishes principles for recognizing and measuring the assets acquired (including goodwill), the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interests in the acquired business. SFAS 141(R) also requires an acquirer to record an adjustment to income tax expense for changes in valuation allowances or uncertain tax positions related to acquired businesses. SFAS 141(R) is effective for all business combinations with an acquisition date in the first annual period following December 15, 2008; early adoption is not permitted. The impact of SFAS 141(R) will have on our consolidated financial statements will depend on the nature and size of acquisitions we complete after we adopt SFAS 141(R).

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51” (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 requires that non-controlling (or minority) interests in subsidiaries be reported in the equity section of the company’s balance sheet, rather than in a mezzanine section of the balance sheet between liabilities and equity. SFAS 160 also changes the manner in which the net income of the subsidiary is reported and disclosed in the controlling company’s income statement. SFAS 160 also establishes guidelines for accounting for changes in ownership percentages and deconsolidation. SFAS 160 is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning on or after December 1, 2008 and interim periods within those years; early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of SFAS 160 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (SFAS 161), which amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS 133 to provide an enhanced understanding of an entity’s use of derivative instruments, how they are accounted for under SFAS 133 and their effect on the entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The provisions of SFAS 161 are effective for the period beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 161 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (SFAS 162), which will provide framework for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for nongovernmental entities. With the issuance of SFAS 162, the GAAP hierarchy for nongovernmental entities will move from auditing literature to accounting literature. The adoption of SFAS 162 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts” (SFAS 163). SFAS 163 clarifies how SFAS No. 60, “Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises”, applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises, and addresses the recognition and measurement of premium revenue and claim liabilities. It requires expanded disclosures about contracts, and recognition of claim liability prior

to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It also requires disclosure about (a) the risk-management activities used by an insurance enterprise to evaluate credit deterioration in its insured financial obligations, and (b) the insurance enterprise's surveillance or watch list. The adoption of SFAS 163 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

p.       Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risks consist of cash and cash equivalents.  The Company places cash and cash equivalents at well known quality financial institutions.  Cash and cash equivalents at banks are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for up to $250,000.  The Company did not have any cash or cash equivalents in excess of this amount at December 31, 2008 and 2007.

q.       
Financial Instruments

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 (SFAS 107), “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company.  SFAS 107 defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.  The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair value:

The carrying amount of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

NOTE 3 -   COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK TRANSACTIONS

 
Effective March 11, 2005, the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for the exercise of stock options held by employees and consultants of the Company.  The Company originally recorded a stock subscriptions receivable of $161,750.  During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company wrote off the subscriptions receivable against additional paid in capital.

NOTE 4 -   OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

The Company has adopted FASB Statement 123(R), “Share-Based Payments” (“SFAS No. 123R”) to account for its stock options.  The Company estimates the fair value of each stock award at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of options granted are evaluated and revised, as necessary, to reflect market conditions and our experience.  Compensation expense is recognized only for those

OPERATING LEASES

 
The Company leased a storage unit on a month to month basis.  Rental expense for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $1,404 and $1,376, respectively.

NOTE 6 -
GOING CONCERN

 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has sustained significant net losses which have resulted in an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2008 of approximately $23,950,000, has negative working capital, and negative cash flows from operations, all of which raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

To date the Company has funded its operations through a combination of loans and the private placement of its common stock. The Company anticipates another net loss for the year ended December 31, 2009 and with the expected cash requirements for the coming year, there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue operations.

 
The Company believes these conditions have resulted from the inherent risks associated with small startup technology-oriented companies. Such risks include, but are not limited to, the ability to (i) generate revenues and sales of its products and services at levels sufficient to cover its costs
and provide a return for investors, (ii) attract additional capital in order to finance growth, (iii) further develop and successfully market commercial products and services, and (iv) successfully

compete with other comparable companies having financial, production and marketing resources significantly greater than those of the Company.

 
The Company is attempting to improve these conditions by way of financial assistance through issuances of additional equity and by generating revenues through sales of products and services.

NOTE 7 -   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 
From time to time, the Company makes advances to a related company which has common management.  These advances are short term in nature and due on demand.  The Company made advances of $54,787 and $20,800, and received payments on these advances of $45,879 and $11,354, during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  The balance receivable at December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $25,303 and $16,394, respectively.  These advances are not loaned to any officer or director of the Company.

 
From time to time, an officer of the Company and an entity he owns paid for expenses of the Company for which he has not been reimbursed.  These unreimbursed expenses are disclosed as due to related parties.  The amount of unreimbursed expenses incurred were $894 and $6,647 during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  The balance due at December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $167,555 and $166,770, respectively.  Accrued interest on these amounts was $59,030 and 38,942 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

NOTE 8 -   SEGMENT REPORTING

 
SportsNuts, Inc.’s reportable segments are business units that offer different products and services.  The Company has two reportable business segments: online services and sports event management.  The online services segment provides internet team and league management for amateur sports organizations and online registrations for sporting events.  The sports event management segment creates, promotes and manages sporting events.

ITEM 9A:  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
 
As of December 31, 2008, the end of our fiscal year covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Controller, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.  Our board of directors has only one member.  We do not have a formal audit committee.
 
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended). In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of control procedures. The objectives of internal control include providing management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2008, our internal control over financial reporting is effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles.
 
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
 
 
Inherent limitations on effectiveness of controls
 


 
Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations which include but is not limited to the use of independent professionals for advice and guidance, interpretation of existing and/or changing rules and principles, segregation of management duties, scale of organization, and personnel factors. Internal control over financial reporting is a process which involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis, however these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. 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.
 
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
 
There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2008 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART III

ITEM 10: 
DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE.

Pursuant to the Company's Delaware Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") has been divided into three classes, with only a single class subject to re-election each year.  The initial re-election of the Board under this procedure requires the directors to be nominated to serve a one-, two-, or three-year term.  Thereafter, any director, whether elected or re-elected, will serve a three-year term.  Each of the Company’s eight directorships has been divided  into one of these three classes, with one class containing two directorships and two classes containing three directorships.  John D. Thomas, age 36, is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and currently the only executive officer of the Company and the only member of the Board of Directors.  A short summary of Mr. Thomas’ business experience is below.  His term of office will expire at the next annual shareholders meeting.  No annual shareholders’ meeting is planned for the year 2008.

John D. Thomas, J.D., age 36, Mr. Thomas has served as corporate counsel for SportsNuts, Inc., since January, 2005.  Mr. Thomas practices law specializing in general corporate law and mergers and acquisitions for his law firm, John D. Thomas P.C.  Since December, 2008, Mr. Thomas has served as a member of the board of directors of Bayhill Capital, Inc. (BYHL.OB),  a filer of reports pursuant to 13(a) and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  He has also been general legal counsel for Cancer Therapeutics, Inc., a filer of reports pursuant to Sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, since May, 2004.  Prior to his association with Cancer Therapeutics, Mr. Thomas practiced


general corporate law for various clients from May, 2003 until the present and from November 1999 until August 2002.  Mr. Thomas holds a Juris Doctor degree from Texas Tech University School of Law and is licensed to practice law in Texas and Utah.

Board of Directors Meetings and Committees

Although various items were reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors during 2008, the Board held no formal meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

The Company does not have Audit or Compensation Committees of the Board of Directors.  Because of the lack of financial resources available to the Company, the Company also does not have an “audit committee financial expert” as such term is described in Item 401 of Regulation S-B promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Compensation of Directors

Although the Company anticipates compensating the members of its Board of Directors in the future at industry levels, current members are not paid cash compensation for their service as directors.  Each director may be reimbursed for certain expenses incurred in attending Board of Directors and committee meetings.  Directors may also be granted stock options under the Company’s 2000 Stock Option Plan.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to all of our executive officers and senior financial officers (including our chief executive officer, chief financial officer and any person performing similar functions).  A copy of our code of ethics is publicly available on our website at www.sportsnuts.com under the caption "INVESTORS." If we make any substantive amendments to our code of ethics or grant any waiver,  including any implicit waiver,  from a provision of the code to our chief  executive  officer,  chief  financial  officer,  chief accounting officer or controller,  we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver in a report on Form 8-K.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance 

We are required to identify each person who was an officer, director or beneficial owner of more than 10% of our registered equity securities during our most recent fiscal year and who failed to file on a timely basis reports required by Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

For the 2007 fiscal year we are unaware of any officer, director or beneficial owner of more that 10% of our registered equity securities who failed to file reports on a timely basis in accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

ITEM 11:  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the annual and long-term compensation for services rendered in all capacities during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 of those persons who were the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers of the Company.

(1) For each shareholder, the calculation of percentage of beneficial ownership is based upon 121,321,086 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of March 31, 2008, and shares of Common Stock subject to options, warrants and/or conversion rights held by the shareholder that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days, which are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the shareholder holding such options, warrants, or conversion rights.  The percentage ownership of any shareholder is determined by assuming that the shareholder has exercised all options, warrants and conversion rights to obtain additional securities and that no other shareholder has exercised such rights.  Except as otherwise indicated below, the persons and entity named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws.

(2) Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and Director of the Company.

(3) Former Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, and Director of the Company.  Includes 800,000 shares of Common Stock held directly by Mr. Denos and 9,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options held by Mr. Denos that are currently exercisable or will become exercisable within 60 days.  Because Mr. Denos is a member of the Board of Directors of Moore, Clayton & Co., Inc. (“MCC”), this number also includes 1,071,429 shares held directly by MCC, and certain promissory notes held by MCC that are currently convertible into 13,596,524 shares of Common Stock.

(3) Principal Shareholder of the Company.  Includes 25,000,000 shares held directly by Prestbury Investment Holdings Limited (“PIHL”).

(4) Prinicipal of PIHL and, together with Mr. Nicholas Leslau, the controlling shareholders of PIHL.  Includes 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock held directly by PIHL.

(5) Principal of PIHL and, together with Mr. Nigel Wray, the controlling shareholders of  PIHL.  Includes 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock held directly by PIHL.

(6) Principal Shareholder of the Company.  Includes 12,273,895 shares of Common Stock held directly by Gardner Management, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan and Trust and 6,752,712  shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of a Convertible Promissory Note held by the Trust.

(7) Principal Shareholder of the Company.  Includes 1,071,429 shares held directly by MCC and certain promissory notes held by MCC that are  convertible into 13,596,524 shares of Common Stock.

(c) Possible Change of Control.

To reduce the Company’s debts, the Company may attempt to convert certain of its liabilities into Common Stock during 2009, depending upon the agreement of various creditors of the Company.  These liabilities are the result of loans received by the Company, accrued payroll expense for various employees of the Company, and operating liabilities incurred but unpaid during the past five years.  Although the Company will endeavor to obtain the highest possible conversion price to such liabilities, the collective effect of converting a substantial amount of this debt may result in a change of control of the Company in favor of certain of the Company’s larger creditors.


ITEM 13:  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

During 2000-2008 and up to the date of this filing, Kenneth I. Denos, the former Chief Executive Officer of the Company, made various loans to the Company in his personal capacity and through a professional corporation controlled by Mr. Denos.  These loans, aggregating $68,500, were made for working capital purposes, are due upon demand, and bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum until repaid.

Since May 2000, Kenneth I. Denos, the Company’s Former Chief Executive Officer, has not been paid a salary for his services, although his salary payment obligation has been accrued on the books of the Company.  As of December 31, 2008, such accrued payroll liability and related expenses totaled $803,098.  Accordingly, the Company may seek to convert some or all of Mr. Denos’ payroll liability into stock of the Company, the result of which could be the issuance of a substantial number of shares of Common Stock and substantial dilution to current stockholders.


Commencing May 1, 2006, the Company became a subtenant of Acadia Properties, Inc., an entity controlled by Kenneth I. Denos, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.  Acadia Properties will charge the Company $500 per month for use of its facilities, telephones, and limited use of office supplies.

ITEM 14:  PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

Change in Auditors

On or about January 1, 2009, we were notified that effective January 1, 2009, the audit partner of Bouwhuis, Morrill & Company, LLC (“BMC”) our auditors, joined Chisholm, Bierwolf & Nilson, LLC (“CBN”) which became Chisholm, Bierwolf, Nilson & Morrill, LLC (“CBNM”).  As a result, BMC resigned as our independent registered public accounting firm and CBNM was formally engaged as our new independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to retain CBNM as our certifying public accountant was authorized and approved by our board of directors.

During the period from the engagement of the former auditors through the date of the resignation of the former auditors, including the registrant’s most recent fiscal year and the subsequent interim period, there were no disagreements with the former auditors,  whether or not resolved, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statements disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the former auditor’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its report.

The reports of BMC did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
