DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
|
UHF Incorporated (the “Company”) was incorporated in Michigan on March 13, 1964 with the name State Die & Manufacturing Company. On March 1, 1971 its name was changed to State Manufacturing, Inc., on April 1, 1981 its name was changed to State Die and Engineering Inc., on July 19, 1984 its name was changed to Universal Robotics and Automation, Inc., on October 23, 1984 its name was changed to Universal Automation Corporation, and on March 4, 1992 its name was changed to UHF Incorporated.
In 1991, the Company became a holding company by transferring its assets to a newly-formed, wholly-owned corporation and by purchasing the outstanding stock of two closely held corporations. These three subsidiaries sold their businesses in 1994, and the Company paid its debts. Since 1994, the Company has been inactive and has had no assets or employees. The Company has no patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises, concessions, royalty agreements or labor contracts and is not aware of any existing or potential environmental liabilities.
UHF Incorporated, a shell company, intends to pursue business opportunities such as mergers, acquisitions or other transactions which would cause the company to have business operations. However, no assurance can be made that the Company will have the opportunity to participate in any business transactions.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Board of Directors
and Stockholders of
UHF Incorporated
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of UHF Incorporated as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related statements of operations and retained deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008. 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our 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 UHF Incorporated as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
Nature of Operations - UHF Incorporated (the “Company”) is a corporation organized under the laws of the state of Michigan. The Company has been inactive and has not conducted any business in the ordinary course since July 1, 1994. The Company intends to seek business opportunities such as a merger, acquisition or other business transaction that will cause the Company to have business operations in the current fiscal year. The Company anticipates that any cash requirements it may have over the next twelve months will be funded by its majority stockholder. These fees are believed to be immaterial. The Company accrued audit fees for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, which will be funded by the majority shareholder.
Basis of Accounting - The financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in which revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when incurred.
Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Recent Accounting Standards Updates - During 2010 and 2009, various new Accounting Standard Updates (ASUs) were issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). Management has determined based on their review that the following ASUs issued during 2010 and 2009 may be applicable to the Company. As new ASUs are released, Management will assess if they are applicable and if they are applicable, their affect will be included in the notes to the financial statements.
In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-17, “Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities”, which changes the consolidation guidance applicable to a variable interest entity (VIE”). It also amends the guidance governing the determination of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and is, therefore, required to consolidate an entity, by requiring a qualitative analysis rather than a quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis will include, among other things, consideration of who has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and who has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This standard also requires continuous reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Previously, the guidance required reconsideration of whether an enterprise was the primary beneficiary of a VIE only when specific events had occurred. ASU 2009-17 was effective for all interim and annual reporting periods that begin after November 15, 2009. Management has determined that the adoption of this guidance will not have any impact on the financial statements and notes thereto.

UHF INCORPORATED
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”, which provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” that clarifies existing disclosures and requires new disclosures, specifically regarding the separate disclosure of transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2, as well as, the requirement of a reconciliation for Level 3 fair value measurements
purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Management has determined that the adoption of this guidance will not have any impact on the financial statements and notes thereto.
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010- 20, “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses”, which provides amendments to Topic 310 “Receivables” that requires an entity to provide disclosures that facilitate financial statement users’ evaluation of the credit risk inherent in the entity’s portfolio of financing receivables, how that risk is analyzed and assessed in arriving at the allowance for credit losses, and the changes and reasons for those changes in the allowance for credit losses. An entity should provide disclosures on a disaggregated basis. The amendments in this update define two levels of disaggregation – portfolio segment and class of financing receivable. A portfolio segment is defined as the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for credit losses. Classes of financing receivables generally are a disaggregation of a portfolio segment. The amendments in the Update provide additional implementation guidance to determine the appropriate level of disaggregation of information. Existing disclosures are amended to require an entity to provide additional disclosures about its financing receivables on a disaggregated basis, specifically, a rollforward schedule of the allowance for credit losses from the beginning of the reporting period to the end of the reporting period and additional disclosures regarding the credit quality of financing receivables. For nonpublic entities, the disclosures are effective for annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2011. Management has determined that the adoption of this guidance will not have any impact on the financial statements and notes thereto.
