PART I


Item 1. Business


Merilus, Inc. (“Company”) was incorporated in Nevada in May 1985 and its initial business endeavors were not successful. During the year 2000 the Company filed a definitive information statement pursuant to Section 14c of the Securities Act of 1934, to disclose that it had entered into a reorganization agreement with the intent to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Merilus Technologies, Inc. ("MTI"), a British Columbia, Canada corporation. The Company had issued warrants for the purchase of 2,000,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share and upon entering into the reorganization agreement, the warrants were exercised and the Company received $2,000,000, which was given to MTI in exchange for notes receivable. Terms of the reorganization agreement included the establishment of a trust into which the Company issued 1 share of preferred stock that represented 3,767,500 “exchangeable shares” of the Company’s common stock. Upon surrender by MTI stockholders of their MTI stock, the Company would issue its common stock to the MTI stockholder. By end of the year 2001, the Company had issued 828,300 shares of its common stock, which represented approximately 22% of the exchangeable shares. MTI filed for bankruptcy protection and was liquidated under the laws of Canada.  There are potentially 146,060 shares which could still be converted under the terms of the agreement with MTI.


Subsequently, the Company has had no revenue producing operations and is considered a development stage enterprise. The Company is currently seeking an acquisition or merger with an operating entity and has received loans from a stockholder, issued shares of its common stock, and may raise capital through the issuance of its common stock to further these efforts. The Company does not propose to restrict its search for a business opportunity to any particular industry or geographical area and may, therefore, seek such business opportunity in essentially any business in any industry. The Company has unrestricted discretion in seeking and participating in a business opportunity, subject to the availability of such opportunities, economic conditions, and other factors. The selection of a business opportunity in which to participate is complex and risky and the Company has only limited resources that it may use to find good business opportunities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to identify and acquire any business opportunity which will ultimately prove to be beneficial to the Company and its stockholders.

 

The activities of the Company are subject to several significant risks that arise primarily as a result of the fact that the Company has no specific business and may acquire or participate in a business opportunity based on the decision of management. The Company will select a potential business opportunity based on management's business judgment and potentially could act without the consent, vote or approval of the Company's stockholders. The risks faced by the Company are further increased as a result of its lack of resources and its inability to provide a prospective business opportunity with significant capital. See Item 6(a) Plan of Operations in this report.


Item 2. Property


The Company does not maintain an administrative office but utilizes the home office  of the Company=s president, Alex Demitriev, for business correspondence. Without current operations, the Company does not believe that it is necessary to have a business office.


Item 3. Legal Proceedings


None.


Item 4. (Removed and Reserved)


PART II


Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.


Market information – The principal market for the Company's common stock is the Pink Sheets. The following high and low bid prices for the Company's Common Stock  are based on over-the-counter quotations that reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commissions, and may not necessarily represent actual transactions. Furthermore, the Company’s common stock has traded sporadically and in small volume. Consequently, the information provided below may not be indicative of the Company's common stock price under different conditions.  The bid and ask price after for the June 2007 quarter forward, reflect post split shares.

The prices above are based on very limited volume and wide spreads between the bid and ask prices.  Additionally, the Company completed a 1 for 20 reverse split  effective in June 2007 and quotes for  June 2007 forward reflect such reverse split.  Investors should not rely on the historical quotes as a guide to the direction of the Company’s stock given the low volume and wide spreads.  On April 9, 2010, the bid price was $0.03 per share.  The Company’s shares of common stock have limited trading and the bid and ask price may not be indicative of the actual price a shareholder would receive if they tried to sell their shares.


Holders – At April 9, 2010, the Company had approximately 950 stockholders of record and beneficial owners based on information obtained from the Company’s transfer agent.


Dividends – Since its inception, the Company has not paid any dividends on its common stock and the Company does not anticipate that it will pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.


Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements


This annual report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the Plan of Operations provided below, including information regarding the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, business strategies, operating efficiencies or synergies, competitive positions, growth opportunities, plans and objectives of management. The statements made as part of the Plan of Operations that are not historical facts are hereby identified as "forward-looking statements."


Plan of Operations


Overview:


The Company has not had revenues from operations in each of the last two fiscal years and is considered a development stage enterprise. The Company’s current operations have consisted of taking such action, as management believes necessary, to prepare to seek an acquisition or merger with an operating entity. The Company has obtained loans from a stockholder and has issued shares of its common stock to its president for services rendered. The Company may also issue shares of its common stock to raise equity capital. A stockholder of the Company has financed the Company's current operations, which have consisted primarily of maintaining in good standing the Company's corporate status and in fulfilling its filing requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the audit of its financial statements. Beyond the financial arrangements herein, the Company has not entered into a definitive agreement with this stockholder, or anyone else, regarding the receipt of future funds to meet its capital requirements. However, management anticipates that whatever reasonable financial requirements may be necessary to further its plan of operations, this stockholder will continue to provide such financial resources to the Company as needed during the next twelve months.


Nevertheless, the Company’s financial statements contained in this report have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the footnotes to the financial statements and elsewhere in this report, the Company is in the development stage and has not established any source of revenue to sustain operations. These factors raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.


A major stockholder of the Company has provided funds to keep the Company operating, cover costs associated with bringing the Company current on its reporting obligations and fund ongoing expenses.  On March 28, 2008, the stockholder converted part of the debt owed by the Company into 600,000 shares of common stock of the Company. On March 31, 2008, this same stockholder entered into a non-convertible unsecured note payable in the amount of $6,855 bearing interest at 18% per annum, due May 31, 2008. Subsequently, this stockholder has provided additional capital to the Company and was owed at December 31, 2009, a totaled $28,130. This stockholder has entered into a verbal agreement with the Company to provide additional funding as may be needed to fund the Company’s operations as discussed herein at a rate of 18% per annum. Furthermore, this stockholder has agreed not to make demand for immediate payment on the Company for payment of this note.


In 2005, Denny W. Nestripke accepted the position of the Company's sole officer and director.  During January of 2006, Mr. Nestripke received 37,500 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $0.06, the prevailing market price during the period, for services rendered, valued at  $2,250.  On December 7, 2006, Mr. Nestripke resigned and Alex Demitriev was appointed in his place.  In April 2009, Mr. Demitriev received 200,000 shares for his services as director and sole officer of the Company.  These shares were valued at the prevailing bid price of the Company’s common stock as reflected on the OTCBB of $0.11 or a total of $22,000.


Risks associated with the plan of operations:


In its search for a business opportunity, management anticipates that the Company will incur additional costs for legal and accounting fees to locate and complete a merger or acquisition. Other than previously discussed, the Company does not have any revenue producing activities whereby it can meet these financial requirements and its cash position is minimal. On December 31, 2009, the Company’s obligations exceeded its cash position by $57,155 and the company may further obligate itself as it pursues its plan of operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will receive any benefits from the efforts of management to locate business opportunities.


The Company does not propose to restrict its search for a business opportunity to any particular industry or geographical area and may, therefore, attempt to acquire any business in any industry. The Company has unrestricted discretion in seeking and participating in a business opportunity, subject to the availability of such opportunities, economic conditions, and other factors. Consequently, if and when a business opportunity is selected, such business opportunity may not be in an industry that is following general business trends.




5



The selection of a business opportunity in which to participate is complex and risky. Additionally, the Company has only limited resources and this fact may make it more difficult to find good opportunities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to identify and acquire any business opportunity which will ultimately prove to be beneficial to the Company and its stockholders. The Company will select any potential business opportunity based on management's business judgment. At the present time, only Mr. Demitriev serves in management and allowing only one individual to exercise his business judgment in the selection of a business opportunity for the Company presents a significant risk to the Company's stockholders. The Company may acquire or participate in a business opportunity based on the decision of management that potentially could act without the consent, vote, or approval of the Company's stockholders.


Since its inception, the Company has not generated any revenue and it is unlikely that any revenue will be generated until such time as the Company locates a business opportunity to acquire or with which it can merge. However, the Company is not restricting its search to those business opportunities that have profitable operations. Even though a business opportunity is acquired that has revenues or gross income, there is no assurance that profitable operations or net income will result therefrom. Consequently, even though the Company may be successful in acquiring a business opportunity, such acquisition does not assume that a profitable business opportunity is being acquired or that stockholders will benefit through an increase in the market price of the Company's common stock.


The acquisition of a business opportunity, no matter what form it may take, will almost assuredly result in substantial dilution for the Company's current stockholders. Inasmuch as the Company only has its equity securities (its common and preferred stock) as a source to provide consideration for the acquisition of a business opportunity, the Company's issuance of a substantial portion of its authorized but unissued common stock is the most likely method for the Company to consummate an acquisition. The issuance of any shares of the Company's common stock will dilute the ownership percentage that current stockholders have in the Company.


The Company does not intend to employ anyone in the future, unless its present business operations were to change. Mr. Demitriev does not have a contract to remain with the Company over any certain time period and may resign his position prior to the time that a business opportunity is located and/or business reorganization takes place.


At the present time, management does not believe it is necessary for the Company to have an administrative office and utilizes the home office of the Company's president for business correspondence. The Company intends to reimburse management for any out of pocket costs.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


As of December 31, 2009, the Company had a negative $57,155 in working capital with assets of $280 and liabilities of $57,435.  If the Company cannot find a new business, it will have to seek additional capital either through the sale of its shares of common stock or through a loan from its officer, stockholders or others. The Company has  ongoing expenses primarily associated with maintaining its corporate status and professional fees associated with accounting and legal costs.


Management anticipates that the Company will incur more costs including legal and accounting fees to locate and complete a merger or acquisition.  At the present time the Company does not have the assets to meet these financial requirements. Additionally, the Company does not have substantial assets to entice potential business opportunities to enter into transactions with the Company.


It is unlikely that any revenue will be generated until the Company locates a business opportunity that it may acquire or with which it may merge.  Management of the Company will be investigating various business opportunities.  These efforts may cost the Company not only out of pocket expenses for its management but also expenses associated with legal and accounting costs.  There can be no guarantee that the Company will receive any benefits from the efforts of management to locate business opportunities.


 If and when the Company locates a business opportunity, management of the Company will give consideration to the dollar amount of that entity's profitable operations and the adequacy of its working capital in determining the terms and conditions under which the Company would consummate such an acquisition.  Potential business opportunities, no matter which form they may take, will most likely result in substantial dilution for the Company's stockholders as it has only limited capital and no operations.


Results of Operations


For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had a net loss of $39,035 and $19,877, respectively.  The Company anticipates losses to remain at the 2009  level or slightly higher until a business opportunity is found. The Company had no revenue during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. The Company does not anticipate any revenue until it locates a new business opportunity.


Off-balance sheet arrangements.


The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements and it is not anticipated that the Company will enter into any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data


The Company’s financial statements are presented immediately following the signature page to this Form 10-K.


Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure


The Company has had no disagreements with its principal independent accountants with respect to accounting practices or procedures or financial disclosure.


Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


Our management, which consists of one person and with the assistance of an outside accountant, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our President and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.  This evaluation was made in light of the fact the Company has no operations or revenue and limited cash on hand.

 


Management’s Annual 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 Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

 


Our management, which consists of one officer, with the participation of the outside accountant, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009.  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.   Further, our management considered the lack of operations and revenue, the limited cash on hand, the limited transactions which occur on a monthly basis and the use of an outside accountant which reconciles all financial transactions prior to being delivered to our auditors.  Based on this evaluation, our management, consisting of our sole officer, concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.  However, management recognized the weaknesses of inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives due to our small size and limited resources but believes the use of an outside accountant helps mitigate this potential weakness.


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 Security and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.


Changes in internal control over financial reporting


There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting.

Merilus, Inc.

(A Development Stage Enterprise)

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2009


Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Development stage enterprise – Merilus, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 7, 1985. During the year 2000 the Company entered into a reorganization agreement (“Agreement”) with the intent to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of a development stage enterprise, Merilus Technologies, Inc. (“MTI”), a British Columbia corporation. This transaction was not consummated as contemplated and in 2003 MTI filed for bankruptcy. Since its inception the Company has not been engaged in profitable operations and is considered a development stage enterprise as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7. The Company’s current business plan is to acquire an operating entity through a reverse acquisition.


Basis of presentation – During 1999 the Company forward split its outstanding shares of common stock on a basis of 200 for 1 and during the year 2000 the Company again forward split its common stock on a basis of 10 for 1. During May 2007 the Company reverse split its common stock on a basis of 1 for 20 with the provision that no stockholder shall receive less than 100 shares. As a result, 90,652 shares of post split common stock were issued to existing stockholders. The accompanying financial statements retroactively reflect the effects of the forward and reverse splits of the Company’s common stock.


Going Concern – These financial statements have been prepared in contemplation of the Company continuing as a going concern. The Company has not generated any revenue from operations in each of the last two fiscal years and has not, since its inception, undertaken any profitable operations. The Company's ability to meet its ongoing financial requirements has been dependent on loans from a stockholder. On March 28, 2008, the Company issued 600,000 shares of its common stock in payment of $30,000 of principal and accrued interest. The Company continues to be obligated to this stockholder in the amount of $23,211 plus interest of $4,919 as of December 31, 2009 and assumes that an ongoing loan arrangement will continue into the future; however, no assurance thereof can be given. Furthermore, the Company is dependent on the services of its sole officer and director without compensation. A change in these circumstances would have a material adverse effect on the Company's plan of operations.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.


Use of estimates – These financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and require that management make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The use of estimates and assumptions may also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates or assumptions.


Net loss per share of common stock – The loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net loss during the periods presented by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during those same periods. The net loss per fully diluted share of common stock is computed by dividing the net loss during the periods presented by the weighted average number of shares outstanding.   


Income taxes –The Company has no deferred taxes arising from temporary differences between income for financial reporting and for income tax purposes. The Company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $233,000 that expires if unused through 2030. A deferred tax asset in the amount of $35,000 is fully offset by a valuation allowance in the same amount. The change in the valuation allowance was $6,000 and $3,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company follows the provisions of uncertain tax positions as addressed in FASB ASC 740-10-65-1. The Company recognized approximately no increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits.


The Company has no tax positions at December 31, 2009 and 2008 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2009


Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.  During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company recognized no interest and penalties.  The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties at December 31, 2009 and 2008.  


Recently enacted accounting pronouncements – In June 2009 the FASB established the Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification" or "ASC") as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants. Existing GAAP was not intended to be changed as a result of the Codification, and accordingly the change did not impact our financial statements. The ASC does change the way the guidance is organized and presented.


Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") SFAS No. 165 (ASC Topic 855), "Subsequent Events", SFAS No. 166 (ASC Topic 810), "Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets-an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140", SFAS No. 167 (ASC Topic 810), "Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)", and SFAS No. 168 (ASC Topic 105), "The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles-a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162" were recently issued. SFAS No. 165, 166, 167, and 168 have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.


Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU No. 2009-05 (ASC Topic 820), which amends Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures - Overall, ASU No. 2009-13 (ASC Topic 605), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, ASU No. 2009-14 (ASC Topic 985), Certain Revenue Arrangements that include Software Elements, and various other ASU's No. 2009-2 through ASU No. 2010-11 which contain technical corrections to existing guidance or affect guidance to specialized industries or entities were recently issued. These updates have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.

In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASC Topic 855/(SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events) “Subsequent Events”, to incorporate the accounting and disclosure requirements for subsequent events into U.S. generally accepted accounting principles with a required adoption date of June 30, 2009. ASC Topic 855 introduces new terminology, defines a date through which management must evaluate subsequent events, and lists the circumstances under which an entity must recognize and disclose events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date. We adopted ASC Topic 855 as of the required effective date.

The Company has reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards in order to determine their effects, if any, on its results of operation, financial position or cash flows.  Based on that review, the Company believes that none of these pronouncements will have a significant effect on its current or future earnings or operations.


Note 2 – Capital Stock


Preferred stock – One share of preferred stock was authorized and issued in conjunction with the Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the preferred share represented 3,767,500 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Exchangeable Shares”) to be issued upon surrender of MTI common stock by the MTI stockholders. By the end of 2001, MTI stockholders had surrendered sufficient MTI common stock to allow the Company to issue 828,300 shares of its common stock, which represented approximately 22% of the Exchangeable Shares. At December 31, 2009, the preferred share remains authorized but is not outstanding.

Note 2 – Capital Stock (continued)


Common stock – During May 2007, stockholders of the Company authorized a 1 for 20 reverse split of the Company’s outstanding common stock with the provision that no stockholder shall receive less than 100 shares. As a result, 90,652 shares of post split common stock were issued to existing stockholders, which represented an increase of 15.2% in the total number of common shares outstanding. These shares of common stock were valued at par value because the Company received no consideration from the issuance thereof. The total number of authorized shares of common stock and the par value of the common stock did not change.


Note 3 – Related Party Transactions


The Company entered into an unsecured convertible promissory note bearing interest at 6% per annum with a stockholder. On November 5, 2007, the Company renegotiated the terms and entered into a new unsecured convertible note and letter of credit (“Convertible Note”) with this stockholder in an amount of up to $30,000, bearing interest at 18% per annum. The negotiation of the Convertible Note was not at arm’s length and the Company recognized an expense of $57,387 at the time that this note was issued relating to the beneficial conversion feature, which allowed the holder to convert the principal sum and accrued interest into shares of common stock. On March 28, 2008, the Convertible Note was converted into 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.05 per share, which represented a reduction of $25,880 of principal and $4,120 of interest. On March 31, 2008, the Company entered into an unsecured note payable (“Unsecured Note”) with this stockholder that contained no conversion provision, in the amount of $6,855 bearing interest at 18% per annum with a due date of May 31, 2008. Subsequently, additional cash was provided to the Company by the stockholder and at December 31, 2009, the Unsecured Note remains unpaid and a total of $23,211 in principal and $4,919 in accrued interest is due the stockholder.


On October 10, 2008, a $10,000 account payable to a former officer and director, and stockholder of the Company was satisfied by the issuance of 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock ($0.05 per share). At the same time, this individual entered into an engagement letter with the Company to provide accounting and record keeping services.


In April 2009, the Company issued 200,000 shares of common stock to its sole officer and director for services rendered. These shares were valued at the prevailing bid price for the Company’s common stock as reflected on the OTCBB of $0.11, or a total of $22,000.


Note 4 – Contingent Liabilities


To the extent that the Company was a party to any financial transactions that were not discharged through MTI’s bankruptcy proceedings, including the obligations associated with the issuance of the one share of preferred stock, or that may not have been listed as part of MTI’s bankruptcy, the Company may have contingent liabilities. To the best of management’s knowledge and belief the accompanying financial statements accurately reflect the financial position of the Company as of the dates presented and no contingent liabilities exist.


Note 5 – Subsequent Events


The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through April 15, 2010, and has determined there are no events that would require disclosure herein.
