CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some of the statements in this Form 10-K are forward-looking statements about what may happen in the future. Forward looking statements include statements regarding our current beliefs, goals, and expectations about matters such as our expected financial position and operating results, our business strategy, and our financing plans. The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-K are not based on historical facts, but rather reflect the current expectations of our management concerning future results and events. The forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of terms such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “foresee,” “likely” or other similar words or phrases. Similarly, statements that describe our objectives, plans or goals are or may be forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be different from any future results, performance and achievements expressed or implied by these statements. We cannot guarantee that our forward-looking statements will turn out to be correct or that our beliefs and goals will not change. Our actual results could be very different from and worse than our expectations for various reasons. You should review carefully all information, including the discussion of risk factors in Part I, Item 1A along with the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements included in this Form 10-K. The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-K are made only as of the date of this Form 10-K and we do not have any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

Throughout this Form 10-K, the terms “Must Haves”, the “Company”, “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Must Haves, Inc., a Florida corporation.

PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

The Company is in the business of designing and manufacturing ladies apparel accessories consisting of beaded and jeweled bra straps that hook or snap into traditional bras, camisoles and tank tops. Our products are made by hand with high quality plastic, crystal and imitation gemstone beads. The beads are threaded one at a time on a rubber string that acts in place of a typical bra strap. We place a hook at the end of each strap to secure into a regular or strapless bra. Due to demand and the labor intensive nature of hand beading each strap, the Company outsources manufacturing to one or more just in time manufacturing facilities in the Philippines. The beads, crystals and other materials we use are available from numerous domestic and foreign sources with which we have no long-term purchase commitments or exclusive contracts.

The bra straps are designed by Stella Gostfrand and marketed under “Jewelry For Your Shoulders” and the registered trademarks, “Straps By Stella G.” (Serial Number 78511966/Registration Number 3092474) and “Stella G.” (Serial Number 78512023/Registration Number 3092475). We have not applied for federal registration of the mark “Jewelry For Your Shoulders”. No registration is required in order to establish rights to a trademark and we believe we have obtained unlimited common law trademark rights through actual use of the mark in connection with our business for as long as we use the mark. However, we may lose common law rights over time if we stop using the mark, another party establishes superior common law or statutory rights in the mark through use or registration, or the mark falls into the public domain due to many other parties using the mark.

From August 2004 to March 2005, we were involved in a limited joint venture with lingerie manufacturer On Gossamer that featured “Straps by Stella G.” on On Gossamer lingerie products sold in Bloomingdales, Nordstroms and Macy’s. Our limited joint venture with On Gossamer terminated in March 2005. Our products are currently sold in more than 50 local and national boutiques spread out all over the country and are also sold in Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Texas and Canada through non-exclusive representatives. The boutiques that purchase our products are generally small, trendy, specialty shops that cater to the fashion conscience consumer. Orders from boutiques and representatives are open purchase orders and, generally, are processed, manufactured and delivered C.O.D. to the boutique or representative within 5-7 business days of receipt of the purchase order. We are not dependent on any single boutique or representative and no single boutique or representative accounts for 10% or more of our revenue. Our products are sold at wholesale to boutiques and through non exclusive representatives who receive a commission of 20% on retail purchases.

Sales and Marketing

We have created numerous designs that we believe appeal to women of all ages and are constantly creating different designs to bring to the marketplace. Must Haves currently offers over 30 designs and is capable of creating custom designs and fulfilling orders of any quantity. Retail prices for our products range from $35 for simple designs to $60 for elaborate designs made with crystals. Our products are marketed to women of all ages. Our marketing efforts initially started as word of mouth that was and continues to be effective. We also engage cold calling techniques by knocking on doors of potential boutiques. Our products have been featured in local media and the straps were named one of Bloomingdales top ten “hottest items for summer” during our On Gossamer joint venture, which brought us national exposure. We intend to increase business by building our base of boutiques and selling product through our website that we are currently redesigning to allow online transactions. Our ultimate goal is to establish the Stella G. name brand and to apply Stella G. to other women’s fashion accessories. We anticipate opening our own boutique in a fashionable area of Miami to showcase our products and will seek joint ventures with other fashion accessories vendors to expand our market reach.

Competition/Seasonality

The women’s apparel accessories market is highly competitive due to the low cost of raw materials and low market entry costs. The growth opportunities within the women’s apparel and accessories market has encouraged the entry of many new competitors, ranging from local artisans to a few large, well known and established specialty retailers. We compete with small, localized boutique designers selling similar products in retail stores, but the majority of our competitors offer similar products through a variety of websites. Our competition also includes small to large manufacturers including our former joint collaborator, On Gossamer, which developed a line of similar straps once our relationship terminated in March 2005. These types of competitors generally distribute product to accessory retailers of all sizes and traditional department store retailers.

We believe our primary competitors are considerably larger and/or have substantially greater financial, marketing and other resources; however, we are not aware of any competitor that is using print or other media to advertise similar products or to direct consumers to their websites or retail outlets. Although our competitors are numerous and range in size, we believe that our products stand due to the unique designs and higher quality of the materials we use to manufacture our straps.

We expect there to be fluctuations in our net sales from quarter to quarter, with the highest net sales generally coming just before summer and during the end of the year holiday season in the second and fourth quarters of our fiscal year.

Employees

We do not currently have any employees other than Stella Gostfrand, our sole officer and director. We do not have any employment or compensation agreements in place with Mrs. Gostfrand although she is reimbursed for expenditures advanced on behalf of the Company.

Corporate Information

Must Haves was incorporated in Florida in March 2004. Our principal office is located at 507 Presidential Way, North Miami Beach, Florida 33179. Our phone number is (305) 469-4178; our fax number is (305) 466-8388. Our website is http://www.www.stellag.com.

Available Information

On September 14, 2007, Must Haves filed a registration statement on Form 10-SB under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) on a voluntary basis to provide current public information to the

investment community, which registration statement became effective on November 14, 2007. In response to comments from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for clarification of statements and disclosures made in our initial filing, our Form 10-SB was amended in its entirety on December 10, 2007 and January 8, 2008, and amended in part on January 28, 2008. Since the date our registration became effective, we have been subject to the informational requirements of the Exchange Act and, in accordance therewith are required to file reports and information with the SEC. Our registration statement, amendments, and other reports and other information we file subsequently can be inspected and copied at the SEC Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Such reports and other information may also be obtained from the web site that the SEC maintains at http://www.sec.gov. Further information about the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.

Our website is a one way medium used solely to provide sales and marketing information and is not enabled to facilitate online commerce or document delivery. Although we intend to update our website to provide these capabilities at this time, we are not able to provide, free of charge, any of our reports as filed with the SEC, through our website. However, we will make available and voluntarily provide paper copies, free of charge upon written request at the address on the cover of this Report and as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with or furnish such material to the SEC, a copy of any report or registration statement along with any amendments as filed with the SEC.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The following discussion and analysis contains various forward-looking statements. These statements consist of any statement other than a recitation of historical fact and can be identified by the use of forward looking terminology such as “may,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimates” or “continue” or use of negative or other variations of comparable terminology. Management cautions that these statements are further qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward looking statements that these forward looking statements are necessarily speculative, and there are certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those referred to in forward looking statements.

Unless we develop a substantial source of revenue or seek additional capital, we may not be able to continue operations which has led our auditors to question the Company’s ability to continue operations as a “going concern”.

We reported a net loss of $(51,361) for the year ended December 31, 2008. In our financial statements included in this report, our auditors have stated that these factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern”. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty should we be unable to continue in existence. The Company’s continuation as a “going concern” is dependent upon developing a substantial source of revenue and related positive cash flow. Our plans to generate revenue include increasing sales to existing customers and identifying new and/or larger customers. We are seeking to raise additional capital through equity issuance but we cannot guarantee that sufficient capital will be raised.

We are a development stage company, formed in March 2004 with one employee and nominal revenues and operating history upon which you have any basis to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objectives.

We have one employee, our founder, designing, marketing and selling our products in small boutiques and through several non-exclusive representatives. We currently lack the sales personnel and experience to market and distribute our products through larger outlets and to date we have conducted no negotiations, nor do we have any arrangements or understandings with any volume distributor or large retailer. Unless we hire additional personnel to help in our marketing efforts and unless we expand our markets and distributions channels, we may not be able to effectively market our products and generate significant revenues. There can be no assurance that we will be able to hire adequate sales personnel or that we will develop relationships with wholesalers, distributors and retailers and establish significant channels of distribution; therefore, we may never achieve adequate revenues or profitability and can provide no assurances that investors will see a return of part or all of their investment.

Unless we offset the additional costs of becoming a reporting company by decreasing other expenses and/or increasing revenue, we may not be able to absorb these costs and may have to delay our growth plans which delay could adversely affect our operations.

As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, as well as new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. We expect these new rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly. To comply with the new rules, we are in the process of implementing corporate governance standards, disclosure controls and financial reporting and accounting systems to meet our reporting obligations; however, the measures we take may not be sufficient to satisfy our obligations as a public company. We expect the implementation costs to be prohibitive in the short term because we are relying on our sole officer, director and employee to oversee compliance and implementation of standards until we are able to hire a chief financial officer and other executive level employees. Ms. Gostfrand, to date, has focused her time and attention on designing, marketing and selling our products. Because she lacks certain financial and accounting expertise, the time required of her to learn and implement standards and stay current in our reporting may detract significantly from her efforts to design new products and focus on building revenue. Further, until we achieve sufficient margins to offer competitive salaries, we may not be able to recruit or retain qualified management personnel that would otherwise help us minimize the professional costs in connection with our compliance and reporting requirements. We expect to incur higher implementation and compliance costs in the short term due to the necessity of engaging professional consultants and CFO service providers to assist Ms. Gostfrand to ensure that the Company meets its compliance and reporting requirements until such time as we hire personnel. There can be no assurance that our current or future management will be able to implement and affect programs and policies in an effective and timely manner that adequately respond to such increased legal, regulatory compliance, and reporting requirements without significant cost to us. Unless we offset these additional costs by decreasing other expenses and/or increasing revenue, we may not be able to absorb the costs of complying with Sarbanes Oxley and our SEC reporting requirements and may have to delay our growth plans which delay could adversely affect our operations.

The lack of experience of our sole officer in managing a reporting company may put us at a competitive disadvantage.

Our sole officer has not managed a publicly traded company and has no experience complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies. She may not successfully or efficiently manage our transition into a public company that will be subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under federal securities laws. In particular, these new obligations will require substantial attention from our management and her attention away from the day-to-day management of our business, which could materially and adversely impact our business operations. We intend to hire additional executive level employees, but there can be no assurance that our current or future management will be able to implement and affect programs and policies in an effective and timely manner that adequately respond to such increased legal, regulatory compliance, and reporting requirements. Our failure to do so could lead to penalties, loss of trading liquidity, and regulatory actions and further result in the deterioration of our business.

Our business activities are capital intensive and we will require additional working capital and substantial revenues before we sustain our operations from revenues alone.

In order to grow our business, we will need to undertake a comprehensive marketing and branding campaign that we cannot sustain without additional personnel and working capital to supplement our revenues, assuming we generate revenues. Even if we achieve revenues, such revenues must be adequate to support our growing operations. We will require substantial revenues to sustain our operations in the absence of outside working capital or investment. We may never realize revenues, and if we do, such revenues may never be sufficient to sustain our operations absent additional working capital from third parties and investors. If we cannot grow our revenues such that our operations are not self-sustaining, we will require working capital, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to secure additional capital or on terms which will not be objectionable to us, including substantial dilution to our shareholders. If we are unable to obtain additional capital we may be unable to operate and as a result, investors could lose the entire value of their investment in our securities. Even if we are able to raise capital, such capital may require us to issue common stock or other securities that would be dilutive to investors’ proportionate interest in our company.

We are substantially dependent on the services of our founder and creator of our proprietary product, Stella Gostfrand and the loss of her services could adversely affect our operations.

Our success depends largely on the skills of our founder and President, Stella Gostfrand. The loss of the services of Mrs. Gostfrand in the future could have a material, adverse affect on the implementation of our plan of operation, results of operations and future liquidity. There can be no assurances that we will be able to replace Mrs. Gostfrand in the event her services become unavailable. To help offset any adverse effects upon the loss of the services of our founder, we may acquire key person life insurance on Mrs. Gostfrand in an amount and term to be determined by our directors.

We have not entered into a substantial distribution agreement and currently have no means to distribute our product other than through C.O.D. arrangements with local and national boutiques and through representatives.

We have not entered into fulfillment contracts with any of the boutiques or representatives that purchase our products. We do not require purchasers to order a minimum quantity and all orders are delivered cash on delivery to all purchasers except one to whom we extend 30 day payment terms. In order to expand our markets, we may need to procure an agreement with one or more distributors to distribute our products to the larger retail outlets. We may not find a distributor or agree on terms favorable to the Company. Even if we identify a suitable distributor and enter into an agreement, there are no assurance that in the future such third-party distribution capabilities will be sufficient to satisfy our requirements, that interruptions or delays in manufacturing or distribution will not adversely affect our operations, or that alternative manufacturing sources and distribution networks will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms or at all.

If we are unsuccessful in protecting our intellectual property or if we infringe upon the rights of others, we could increase competition and expose the Company to claims for damages.

Our future success remains dependent upon our ability to obtain, maintain and enforce our materially important trademarks, particularly those critical to our product image. We obtained federal trademark registrations for our primary marks “Straps By Stella G.” and “Stella G.” by filing applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office; however, we have not applied for federal registration of the mark “Jewelry For Your Shoulders” and currently rely on rights afforded under common law through actual use of the mark in connection with our business. While we are afforded some protections for our registered marks, we may lose common law rights over time if we stop using the “Jewelry For Your Shoulders” mark, or another party establishes superior common law or statutory rights in the mark through use or registration, or the mark falls into the public domain due to many other parties using the mark. We may lose the rights afforded under our registered marks if we fail to file Affidavits of Use or renew our registrations prior to expiration in 2014. Further, although we remain actively engaged in protecting all of our material assets, there can be no assurance that these assets will not be challenged by third parties, invalidated or designed around, or that they will provide protection that has ongoing commercial significance in the United States or abroad. It must also be noted that any related litigation will likely be costly and time-consuming and there can be no assurance of a favorable outcome. There can also be no assurance that our actions will not inadvertently infringe upon the proprietary rights of others, thereby subjecting us to remedial or punitive sanctions. Any failure on our part to successfully protect these material assets, to avoid inadvertently infringing upon the proprietary rights of others, or to successfully obtain trademarks in the future, may have a material adverse impact on our business, and as a result, on our results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.

Our success in the ladies apparel and accessories markets depends on our ability to generate profits by creating and maintaining brand awareness for our products.

There can be no assurance that our products will achieve a level of market acceptance that will be profitable for us. We believe that the acceptance of our products will depend on our ability to (i) effectively market our products; (ii) price and sell the products in a manner that is appealing to customers; (iii) develop and maintain a favorable reputation among our customers and key businesses that would promote our products; and (iv) withstand

Table of Contents

downturns in the general economic environment or conditions that would slow sales of our products. If we fail to promote and maintain our brand in the market, our businesses, operating results, financial condition and our ability to attract customers will be materially adversely affected. We may require a significant amount of capital to allow us to market our products and establish brand recognition and customer loyalty. We can offer no assurances that we will be successful in establishing awareness of our brand allowing us to compete in the ladies apparel and accessories marketplace. The importance of brand recognition will continue to increase because low barriers of entry to the industries in which we operate may result in an increased number of direct competitors. To promote our products, we may be required to continue to increase our financial commitment to creating and maintaining brand awareness; however we cannot make assurances that we will generate a corresponding increase in revenue to justify these costs.

Our failure to anticipate and respond to fashion trends within our industry could result in a significant amount of unsold inventory that would negatively impact our revenues.

Our planned product line is fashion and trend driven. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in anticipating consumer tastes and references. If we misjudge the market for our proposed product line, we may be faced with a loss of popularity for our products, resulting in a significant amount of unsold inventory or returns, which would negatively impact our revenues.

We compete with global manufacturers and large distributors of ladies apparel and accessories that have high volume distribution channels and sell directly in large department and specialty stores.

Our most significant competitors are any and all accessories companies and fashion houses who are larger than us, have substantially greater financial resources and have already established their brand identity within the marketplace. Our success in the ladies apparel and accessories market depends on our ability to create and maintain brand awareness for our product offerings. Competitive factors include quality, price, style, design, creativity, consistency, availability of shelf space, and service. Among our competitors are companies with substantially greater experience, financial resources, manufacturing capabilities, and/or name recognition than the Company. This may require a significant amount of capital to allow us to market our products and establish brand recognition and customer loyalty. We can offer no assurances that we will be successful in establishing awareness of our brand or that establishing brand awareness will allow us to compete successfully with other ladies apparel and accessories manufacturers and distributors.

Any trouble dealing with suppliers could slow the supply of vital raw materials to manufacture our apparel accessories that could adversely affect sales and reduce operating performance.

We buy materials primarily from foreign suppliers with whom we have no long-term purchase commitments or exclusive contracts. We are dependent on these suppliers to deliver beads, crystals and other materials on time and according to specifications. Significant delivery delays or delivery of defective materials could have a material adverse effect upon the scheduling of production and consequently our ability to make timely delivery of products to our customers. If we experience problems with respect to supplier fulfillment and retention or if any of our key vendors experience business interruptions, we may have difficulty in obtaining materials on acceptable terms and fulfilling orders in a timely manner. This could result in decreased revenue that could materially, adversely affect operations.

We rely on outsourced labor in the Philippines. Any inability to retain qualified workers or to avoid high turnover and work disruptions could adversely affect our operations and ability to fulfill orders.

We believe that we can minimize costs by outsourcing labor in and to countries like the Philippines that have a relatively large pool of skilled and unskilled labor suitable for our production needs. Other than our agreement with the Pilipino manufacturing company, we have not entered into agreements with any third party manufacturers for outsourced production. If we cannot handle production orders or deliver according to contract, we may experience a short-term adverse effect and, potentially, a long term adverse effect if alternative manufacturers are not timely identified and retained.

Table of Contents

If a third party manufacturer fails to use acceptable labor practices, we might have delays in shipments or face joint liability for violations, resulting in decreased revenue and increased expenses.

While we will require any third party manufacturers to operate in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, we will have no control over the ultimate actions of third party manufacturers. Violations of labor or other laws by a third party manufacturer engaged by us or the divergence of a third party manufacturer’s labor practices from those generally accepted as ethical in the United States, could interrupt, or otherwise disrupt the shipment of products to us or our clients and/or damage our reputation. Any of these, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our President, as principal shareholder, beneficially owns approximately 77% of our outstanding common stock and as majority shareholder is able to control voting on issues and actions that may not be beneficial or desired by other shareholders.

As the owner of the majority of our outstanding voting stock, Mrs. Gostfrand is able to control the outcome of virtually all matters presented to stockholders for their approval, including the election of all directors, amendments to our articles or bylaws, establishment of additional series of stock or stock splits, dissolution of the Company, merger, sale of our assets, and may otherwise authorize or prevent significant corporate transactions that may be beneficial to, or the desire of, other shareholders. Her stock ownership and control may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, impede a merger, consolidation, takeover, or other business combination involving the Company or discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control in the Company that, in addition to affecting the interests of other shareholders, could discourage investment in our Company and/or could, if a market were to develop, harm the market price of our common stock.

There is currently no public market for our securities and there is limited transferability of our securities which means investors may not be able to sell their securities.

Currently, there is no trading market for any of our securities. Although we contemplate developing a market for our common stock in the future, there can be no assurance that a market for our securities will be created or, if such a market is created, that it will be sustained. Further, our securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction. As a result, our common stock can be transferred without registration under the Securities Act or, if applicable, the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction only if such registration is not required because of an applicable exemption from registration. Compliance with the criteria for securing exemptions under the Securities Act and the securities laws of several of the states is extremely complex, especially in respect to those exemptions affording flexibility and the elimination of trading restrictions in respect to securities received in exempt transactions and subsequently disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or state securities laws. In the absence of a public market and the foregoing transfer restrictions, investors will not be able to liquidate their investment and may have to hold our securities indefinitely.

Because we have nominal operations and revenue, we are considered a “shell company” and are subject to more stringent reporting requirements.

The SEC adopted Rule 405 of the Exchange Act Rule 12b-2 which defines a shell company as a registrant that has no or nominal operations, and either (a) no or nominal assets; (b) assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or (c) assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets, and we have not generated operating revenue while we have been in the development phase. Therefore, we are a shell company. The new rules prohibit shell companies from using a Form S-8 to register securities pursuant to employee compensation plans. However, the new rules do not prevent us from registering securities pursuant to registration statements. Additionally, the new rule regarding Form 8-K requires shell companies to provide more detailed disclosure upon completion of a transaction that causes it to cease being a shell company. We must file a current report on Form 8-K containing the information required pursuant to Regulation S-K and in a registration statement on Form 10, within four business days following completion of the transaction together with financial information of the private operating company. In order to assist the SEC in the identification of shell companies, we are also required to check a box on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K indicating that we are a shell company. To the extent that we

Table of Contents

are required to comply with additional disclosure because we are a shell company, we may be delayed in executing any mergers or acquiring other assets that would cause us to cease being a shell company. The SEC adopted a new Rule 144 effective February 15, 2008, which makes resales of restricted securities by shareholders of a shell company more difficult.

 

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

As of the date of this Report, we are not aware of any unresolved Staff comments.

 

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

We do not own or lease real estate or personal property. Our operations are conducted from the residence of Mrs. Gostfrand at no charge.

 

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are not a party to any material litigation and are not aware of any threatened litigation that would have a material adverse effect on our business.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Market Information

At the present time, there is no public market for the common stock of Must Haves and our common stock is not traded on any exchange or quoted on any service. Although we have not yet determined the timing of doing so, we intend to seek quotation of our common stock on either the Over The Counter Bulletin Board of Directors (“OTCBB”) or the “pink sheets” published by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. (“Pink Sheets”). In general there is greater liquidity for traded securities on the OTCBB, and less through quotation in the Pink Sheets. In order for our common stock to trade on the OTCBB, a registered broker-dealer, known as the market maker, must be willing to list bid or sale quotations, sponsor the Company for listing on the Bulletin Board of Directors and file an application on our behalf to make a market in our securities. We can make no assurances that we will be able to obtain a market maker for our securities. Securities that are quoted in the Pink Sheets do not have any listing requirements and can be difficult to buy and sell due to the potential for low and sporadic trading activity. It is not possible to predict where, if at all, our common stock will be traded following qualification of our securities for trading. Even if our common stock is accepted for quotation on the OTCBB or Pink Sheets, it is not certain that an orderly market will develop.

Common Stock

We currently have authorized 10,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value, of which 4,975,000 shares were issued and outstanding to 53 shareholders as of December 31, 2008. Of this amount, our sole officer and director owns 3,850,000 shares or 77% of our issued and outstanding common stock. Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders and do not have cumulative voting rights. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends at the discretion of our board of directors. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of common stock will be entitled to share ratably in all of our assets that are legally available for distribution, after payment of all debts and

Table of Contents

other liabilities and the liquidation preference of any outstanding preferred stock. The holders of our common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. All of the outstanding shares of common stock are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Preferred Stock

We have authorized 1,000,000 shares as preferred stock, no par value per share, of which no shares are issued and outstanding. Our amended and restated articles of incorporation provide that the board of directors is authorized to provide for the issuance of shares of preferred stock in series and, by filing a certificate pursuant to the applicable law of Florida, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof without any further vote or action by the shareholders. Any shares of preferred stock so issued would have priority over the common stock with respect to dividend or liquidation rights. Any future issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control without further action by the shareholders and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of common stock. At present, we have no plans to issue any preferred stock, nor to adopt any series, preferences, or other classification of preferred stock.

Dividends

We have not paid, nor declared, any cash dividends since our inception and do not intend to declare any such dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company presently intends to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of its business and does not anticipate that any cash dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities; Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities

In February 2007, we issued an aggregate of 500,000 shares of our common stock, valued at $50,000.00, to Robert Stein in exchange for consulting services rendered to the Company in lieu of cash for payment. We also issued an aggregate of 150,000 shares to Arnstein & Lehr LLP valued at $15,000.00, for legal services rendered in lieu of cash for payment. All of the shares were issued upon reliance on the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. No advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering the shares and no underwriters were involved in either transaction. Mr. Stein and Joel Mayersohn, an attorney with the firm of Arnstein & Lehr LLP, were closely acquainted with the Company’s business plan and proposed activities at the time of issuance. Each is an accredited investor and possessed information on the Company necessary to make an informed investment decision. The securities were offered for investment only and not for the purpose of resale or distribution, and the certificates representing the shares contain a restricted legend.

Table of Contents

From February 1, 2007 through June 26, 2007, we conducted a private placement and sold an aggregate of 475,000 shares of common stock at $.10 per share to 49 investors for a total raise of $47,500 less offering expenses in the aggregate amount of $1,000. These sales were made in reliance upon the exemption from registration offered by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The Company had reasonable grounds to believe immediately prior to making an offer to the private investor, and did in fact believe, when such subscription was accepted, that such purchaser (a) was purchasing for investment and not with a view to distribution; and (b) had such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it was capable of evaluating the merits and risks of their investment and were able to bear those risks. The purchaser had access to pertinent information enabling them to ask informed questions. An appropriate restrictive legend is imprinted upon each of the certificates representing such shares. All such sales were made without the aid of underwriters and no sales commissions were paid.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Regulation S-K and as such, are not providing the information contained in this item pursuant to Regulation S-K.

 

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

The following discussion and analysis addresses the major factors that affected our results of operations and financial condition reflected in our audited financial statements for the periods ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. This discussion is intended to supplement and highlight information contained in, and should be read in conjunction with, our financial statements and related notes and the selected financial data presented elsewhere in this report. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results and timing of selected events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those discussed under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A and elsewhere in this report.

Overview

The Company is in the business of designing and manufacturing ladies apparel accessories consisting of beaded and jeweled bra straps that hook or snap into traditional bras, camisoles and tank tops. We are a development stage company with nominal revenues, a limited operating history and a reported net loss for the first time since inception in 2004. Our principal source of revenue comes from selling our beaded and jeweled bra straps to small boutiques and through several non-exclusive representatives. The straps are designed, marketed and sold by our sole officer, director and employee, Stella Gostfrand. Until we hire additional personnel to help in our marketing efforts and take steps to expand our markets and distributions channels, we may not be able to effectively market our products and generate significant revenues to address our auditor’s “going concern”.

Results of Operations for the Period ended December 31, 2008 as Compared to the Period ended December 31, 2007

Revenues for the period ended December 31, 2008 were $3,757, a 74% decrease from $14,265 for the period ended December 31, 2007. We believe the decrease in sales was the result of the overall state of the economy and market saturation of lower priced, knock off products by a greater number of online retailers and websites offering products similar to ours during 2008. As a result of the decline in sales, our cost of revenue for the period ended December 31, 2008 was $1,018, a 81% decrease from $5,410 for the period ended December 31, 2007 and our gross profit, likewise, decreased 69% from $8,855 for the period ended December 31, 2007, to $2,739 for the period ended December 31, 2008.

Table of Contents

General and administrative expenses for the period ended December 31, 2008 were $51,765 or a 56% decrease from $118,266 for the period ended December 31, 2007.

Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources for the Period Ended December 31, 2007

Since inception in 2004, we have funded capital requirements through operations, proceeds from a private placement in 2007, and loans from our founder in the aggregate amount of $11,609. As of December 1, 2008, we had a cash balance of $272 a 97% decrease compared to our cash balance of $8,458 as of December 31, 2007.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $34,186 for the period ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $(44,641) for the period ended December 31, 2007.

Net cash used in financing activities was $26,000 for the period ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $47,500 for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Cash Requirements and Need for Additional Funds

We believe that approximately $30,000 will be required to cover our operating expenses for the next 12 months. In addition to covering our operating expenses, we may require additional cash resources due to changing business conditions or other future developments, including our proposed expansion or any acquisitions we may decide to pursue. Our founder has committed to providing additional funds through loans if funding is not available from any commercial lenders or other sources; however we cannot give assurance that Mrs. Gostfrand will make such funds available or that we will enter into any new commitment, or that the terms of any such commitments will be on terms favorable to us. We may, if necessary, conduct a private placement or public offering of our stock to raise capital.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our sole officer, Stella Gostfrand, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our sole officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in enabling us to record, process, summarize and report information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings as of December 31, 2008.

Evaluation of 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, (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our sole officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and sole officer necessarily was required to apply her judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our sole officer, and effected by our sole officer and sole director, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

   

Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 

   

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our sole officer and director; and

 

   

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

12


Table of Contents

Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our sole officer assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in the Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on management’s assessment, we believe that, as of December 31, 2008, our internal control over financial reporting is effective at a reasonable assurance level based on these criteria.

Changes in Internal Controls

During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

This annual report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent 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.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Such persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all such reports they file.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the board of directors and stockholders of

Must Haves, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Must Haves, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Must Haves, Inc. for December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Must Haves, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, Must Haves, Inc. has suffered losses from operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2008

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Company Background

Must Haves, Inc. (the Company) is a Florida corporation that was established during 2004. The Company designs and sells ladies clothing accessories from its location in North Miami.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred a net loss of $51,361 for the year ended December 31, 2008 and has not developed a substantial source of revenue. The Company anticipates seeking additional capital, increasing sales and continuing to restrict expenditures during 2009. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company presents revenue in accordance with the provision of Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104 “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements”, which states that revenue is realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized upon delivery and acceptance of goods. Since the Company’s primary customers are direct suppliers and goods must be accepted at delivery, sales returns are minimal. Should such a situation arise, the Company’s policy is to exchange the product.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2008, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash in the bank.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2008

 

Accounts Receivable

Substantially all of the Company’s accounts receivable is due from customers located within the United States. Judgments are made with respect to the collectibility of account receivable based on historical experience and current economic trends. The Company considers all accounts receivable fully collectible; therefore no allowance for doubtful accounts has been made as December 31, 2008.

Inventory

Inventory consists of ladies accessories and related supplies. It is stated at the lower of cost or market; determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost method. Due to the nature of the inventory, the Company has not made an allowance for obsolete inventory at December 31, 2008, as all pieces are expected to be sold or can be interchanged with other styles.

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue consists of materials, supplies, contract labor, shipping and delivery costs. The fair value of contributed facilities by the Company’s sole employee are also included as a cost of revenue.

General and administrative expense

General and administrative expense includes professional fees, bank and credit card service charges, travel, telephone and office expense. The fair value of contributed services by the Company’s sole employee are also recorded as general and administrative expense.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the liability method for income taxes as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has established a 100% valuation and, therefore, no provision or benefit from taxes has been recorded in the Statement of Operations.

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement 109,” effective January 1, 2007. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Benefits from tax positions should be recognized in the financial

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

statements only when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met. FIN 48 also provides guidance on the accounting for and disclosure of unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties. Adoption of FIN 48 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered. At December 31, 2008 the Company believes that there has been no impairment of its long-lived assets.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and accounts receivable. The carrying amount of these financial instruments has been estimated by management to approximate fair value.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements that the Company has adopted or will be required to adopt in the future are summarized below.

Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 addresses the requests from investors for expanded disclosure about the extent to which a company measures assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, and does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and has been adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. The Company is unable at this time to determine the effect that its adoption of SFAS 157 will have on its results of operations and financial condition.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The cumulative effects, if any, of applying FIN 48 will be recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and the Company adopted it in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007.

How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement

In June 2006, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 06–3 (EITF 06-3), “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation).” EITF 06–3 applies to any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is directly imposed on a revenue producing transaction between a seller and a customer.

EITF 06–3 allows companies to present taxes either gross within revenue and expense or net. If taxes subject to this issue are significant, a company is required to disclose its accounting policy for presenting taxes and the amount of such taxes that are recognized on a gross basis. EITF 06–3 was adopted during the first quarter of fiscal year 2008.

Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred during a Construction Period

In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 13-1 (As Amended), “Accounting for Rental Costs Incurred during a Construction Period” (FAS 13-1). This position requires a company to recognize as rental expense the rental costs associated with a ground or building operating lease during a construction period, except for costs associated with projects accounted for under SFAS No. 67, “Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects.” FAS 13-1 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2005 and was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. The Company’s adoption of FAS 13-1 did not affect its results of operations and financial position.

Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (SAB 108). SAB 108 provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB 108 establishes an approach that requires quantification of financial statement errors based on the effects of each on a company’s balance sheet and statement of operations and the related financial statement disclosures. Early application of the guidance in SAB 108 is encouraged in any report for an interim period of the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006, and was adopted by the Company since its inception. The Company does not expect the adoption of SAB 108 to have a material impact on its results of operations and financial condition.

FAS 123(R)-5

FSP FAS 123(R)-5 was issued on October 10, 2006. The FSP provides that instruments that were originally issued as employee compensation and then modified, and that modification is made to the terms of the instrument solely to reflect an equity restructuring that occurs when the holders are no longer employees, then no change in the recognition or the measurement (due to a change in classification) of those instruments will result if both of the following conditions are met: (a). There is no increase in fair value of the award (or the ratio of intrinsic value to the exercise price of the award is preserved, that is, the holder is made whole), or the antidilution provision is not added to the terms of the award in contemplation of an equity restructuring; and (b). All holders of the same class of equity instruments (for example, stock options) are treated in the same manner. The provisions in this FSP shall be applied in the first reporting period beginning after October 10, 2006, which is the date posted to the FASB website. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 123(R)-5 to have a material impact on its results of operations and financial condition.

Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 allows companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS 159 will become effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2009. The Company is currently evaluating what effects the adoption of SFAS 159 will have on the Company’s future results of operations and financial condition.

Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities

In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities.” The FSP addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method. The FSP affects entities that accrue dividends on share-based payment awards during the awards’ service period when the dividends do not need to be returned if the employees forfeit the award. This FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FSP EITF 03-6-1 on its financial position and results of operations.

Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an entity’s Own Stock

In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (EITF 07-5). EITF 07-5 provides that an entity should use a two step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions. It also clarifies on the impact of foreign currency denominated strike prices and market-based employee stock option valuation instruments on the evaluation. EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of EITF 07-5 on its financial position and results of operations.

Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60”. This statement requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. SFAS 163 also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for

premium revenue and claim liabilities to increase comparability in financial reporting of financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises. SFAS 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years, except for some disclosures about the insurance enterprise’s risk-management activities of the insurance enterprise are effective for the first period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance of SFAS 163. Except for those disclosures, earlier application is not permitted.

Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)

In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement).” The FSP clarifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (including partial cash settlement) upon conversion. The FSP requires issuers to account separately for the liability and equity components of certain convertible debt instruments in a manner that reflects the issuer’s nonconvertible debt (unsecured debt) borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized. The FSP requires bifurcation of a component of the debt, classification of that component in equity and the accretion of the resulting discount on the debt to be recognized as part of interest expense in our statement of operations. The FSP requires retrospective application to the terms of instruments as they existed for all periods presented. The FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and early adoption is not permitted. The Company currently has no convertible debt and does not expect that its adoption of FSP APB 14-1 will have a material impact upon its financial statements.

The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (FAS No.162). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The implementation of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets

In April 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position on Financial Accounting Standard (“FSP FAS”) No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”, which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of intangible assets under SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of the expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) “Business Combinations” and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of FSP FAS No. 142-3 on its financial statements.

Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of SFAS No. 133”, (SFAS 161). This statement requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 161 on January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS No. 161 on the Company’s financial statements.

Delay in Effective Date

In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157”. This FSP delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of adoption is not expected to be material to the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Business Combinations

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R) “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141(R)). This Statement replaces the original SFAS No. 141. This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS No. 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS No. 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. The objective of SFAS No. 141(R) is to improve the relevance, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. To accomplish that, SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer:

 

   

Recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree.

 

   

Recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase.

 

   

Determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination.

This Statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and may not be applied before that date. The Company is unable at this time to determine the effect that its adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will have on its results of operations and financial condition.

Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51” (SFAS No. 160). This Statement amends the original Accounting Review Board (ARB) No. 51 “Consolidated Financial Statements” to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This Statement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and may not be applied before that date. The Company is unable at this time to determine the effect that its adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have on its results of operations and financial condition.

Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of SFAS No. 115” (SFAS No. 159), which becomes effective for the Company on February 1, 2008, permits companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and report unrealized gains and losses in earnings. Such accounting is optional and is generally to be applied instrument by instrument. The Company does not anticipate that the election of this fair-value option will have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

NOTE 2. LOAN FROM STOCKHOLDER

The Company has borrowed funds from one stockholder to be used as working capital. The loans have no stated interest and are due upon demand. The average balance of the loan as of December 31, 2008 was $29,185. In lieu of a stated interest rate, the Company imputes interest at 8% based on the average loan balance. As a result, the Company has recorded interest expense of $2,335 for the year ended December 31, 2008.

NOTE 3. INCOME TAXES

At December 31, 2008 we had deferred tax assets principally arising from the net operating loss carry forwards for income tax purposes multiplied by an approximate expected rate of 40.5%. As management of the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not that we will realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance equal to the deferred tax asset has be established at December 31, 2008.
