PART I
Item 1. Business
History
LILM, Inc. was organized on December 30, 1999 under the laws of the State of Nevada as a wholly owned subsidiary of LiL Marc, Inc., a Nevada corporation. On that date we acquired from LiL Marc, Inc. the U.S. patent rights to the LiL Marc Training Urinal a plastic toilet-training device (U.S. Patent Number 318,325, issued July 16, 1991). We also acquired the trade name LiL Marc and rights to manufacture and market the product. We submitted the Patent Assignment to the United States Patent Office in Washington, D.C. and, on February 10, 2000, the assignment was recorded.
We are primarily involved in the manufacture and marketing of the LiL Marc, a plastic boys toilet-training device constructed of white polyethylene plastic having the appearance of white porcelain. We also intend to explore the potential development, marketing and manufacturing of complementary baby products.
The LiL Marc training urinal was invented by James Curt McKiney and a patent was issued to him on July 16, 1991. Approximately 3,500 units were sold by the inventor, primarily between 1992 and 1994. In 1997, LiL Marc, Inc. (Nevada), our predecessor company, acquired the marketing and patent rights to the LiL Marc training urinal from the inventor. On December 30, 1999, LiL Marc, Inc. (Nevada) created LILM, Inc., as a wholly owned subsidiary and the patent and marketing rights to the LiL Marc were conveyed to LILM, Inc..
In June 2000, our current President, George I. Norman, III, acquired in a private transaction 100% of the 1,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of our common stock and we ceased to be a subsidiary of LiL Marc, Inc. (Nevada). Subsequently in October 2002, LiL Marc, Inc. (Nevada) acquired InkSure Technologies, Inc. and became engaged as a developer and marketer of customized authentication systems designed to enhance the security of documents and branded products for protection from counterfeiting and diversion. Since June 2000, we have not had any connection or relationship with LiL Marc, Inc. (Nevada), now known as InkSure Technologies, Inc.
On December 10, 2004, we created a new Utah corporation as a wholly owned subsidiary under the name of LiL Marc, Inc. We then transferred all of our assets to LiL Marc, Inc. (Utah) in January 2005, in exchange for all 1,500,000 shares (100%) of LiL Marc’s outstanding common stock. .
On February 25, 2005, we submitted a subsequent Patent Assignment to the United Sates Patent Office conveying the patent rights to our wholly owned subsidiary, LiL Marc, Inc. (Utah). In connection with the assignment of the patent, LiL Marc, Inc. (Utah) will pay to James Curt McKiney, the inventor of the LiL Marc training urinal, an ongoing royalty of $0.25 per urinal sold, due each year on March 31 beginning in 2005. As of December 31, 2012, a total of $307 in royalties were due to the inventor.
Stock Offering
On February 21, 2002, we commenced an offering of our common stock pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 provided by Rule 504 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The offering was for 1,500,000 shares of common stock at the offering price of $0.08 per share. We sold a total of 763,750 shares to 59 investors for gross proceeds of $61,100 and filed a final Form D with the SEC in March 2003.
Our principal executive offices are located at 1390 South 1100 East # 204, Salt Lake City, Utah 84105-2463 and our telephone number is (801) 322-0253.
LiL Marc Training Urinal
The LiL Marc is a simple to use plastic urinal used in the “potty” training of young boys. The LiL Marc is constructed from high quality, recyclable, high density, white polyethylene plastic and, because of its white porcelain appearance, looks like a full-sized urinal found in public restrooms, only on a smaller scale. It is intended to assist in the training of daytime bladder control of young boys. By using the LiL Marc, a male child can be potty-trained standing up like a little boy, instead of being trained sit-down fashion like a little girl.
3
The LiL Marc is marketed as a stand-alone unit with a removable support to stand the unit at the proper height for young boys. It can be easily transported to another room or used when traveling. The LiL Marc may also be attached to a wall or door using the mounting bracket and screws, both provided with the unit. The mounting bracket holds the unit securely and slides off easily to empty and clean with any detergent or bathroom cleaner. The LiL Marc features a built-in pour spout that makes it easy to empty and clean. The LiL Marc is a one-time purchase and does not need any other supplies. It is designed so that young boys of all sizes can comfortably stand while facing the unit. It has a height of 24 inches and a width of just over 10 inches.
Production
In addition to acquiring the patent rights to the LiL Marc, we also acquired the production air mold and rotational mold used to manufacture the training unit and its stand. The molds are located at our facility in Salt Lake City, Utah and would be used at Blow Molded Products in Glen Avon, California, a specialty boutique blow mold manufacturer. By having another company manufacture the LiL Marc, we are able to produce a quality product in mass at a competitive price. Using the air mold enables us to produce large or small orders and, during test marketing by the inventor, the air mold produced over 3,000 units with a high quality finish. We have an arrangement with Blow Mold Products whereby we will use the air mold to manufacture the wall mount and LiL Marc urinal for a specified production price. The stand is manufactured elsewhere.
The arrangement with Blow Molded Products consists of our submitting a purchase order and payment terms are discussed at the time of the order. All orders are FOB shipping point with shipping and delivery arranged by us. We are required to provide a production ready mold, which is currently onsite at Blow Molded Products. Each order includes the standard terms and conditions concerning any individual order. We do not have a formal contract with Blow Molded Products other than individual purchase orders.
We use a subcontractor, Ningbo Shuangwei Traffic Facilities Co., Ltd., Jiangdong,Ningbo Zhejiang,China that uses a custom injection molds to manufacture the stands and bases. Our arrangement with Shuangwei Traffic is that we submit a purchase order on the terms that payment is due upon completing the order. All orders are FOB shipping with shipping and delivery arranged by us. We do not have a formal contract with Shuangwei Traffic other than individual purchase orders for each order.
Due to the size and shape of the LiL Marc, packaging and shipping initially required a special order box, however, we subsequently developed a shrink-wrap package. We currently assemble the product at our Salt Lake City facility and individually shrink wraps each product using an American International Electric, Inc. shrink packaging system. This system can wrap one unit in a two-and-a-half minute time period. The product is then placed in a brown stock shipping box. The finished LiL Marc has a suggested retail price of $29.95.
Our product has an industry recyclable rating of 2. This rating appears as a commonly used recyclable symbol (triangular shape) with the number 2 and the word HOPE, denoting that the product is made of a plastic resin consisting of high density polyethylene. The recycle applications are common drainage pipe, liquid laundry detergent bottles, oil bottles, pens, benches, doghouses, recycling containers, floor tile, picnic tables, fencing, lumber, and mailbox posts.
We guarantee the LiL Marc Potty Trainer against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of two years from the date of purchase. If the product is found to be defective, we will replace it with a new LiL Marc and pay shipping for the replaced product. To date, there have been no claims filed or requests for replacement products.
Marketing
The LiL Marc, it is marketed through our websites at www.LiLMarc.com and www.BoysPottyTraining.com The LiL Marc is also represented on another website that specializes in the marketing of potty training products for boys, which enhances the visibility of the product. Our current reseller is PottyTrainingConcepts.com. We have realized only nominal international sales. In 2005, Narmin Parpia of PottyTraining Concepts.com, an Internet web reseller of our product, displayed the LiL Marc at a national trade show, but met with little success. Management believes that we need to sponsor our own display at future shows for any meaningful results. Due to the extremely high costs of participating in national trade shows, management has no current plans to do so. Management believes that the worldwide web gives the highest degree of visibility for the LiL Marc at this time. We have not performed any significant test marketing in recent years.
4
Competition
Competitive conditions in the industry are dependent on the products and marketing ability of the various companies that are selling similar potty training products. Management believes that there are currently four or five companies marketing products similar to the LiL Marc. These products range from simple colored floating targets to complex molded adaptations that are attached to the toilet bowl. We offer the only free-standing training urinal that does not require a water source, making it completely portable. Current competitors require a commode basin to attach their product, such as the Weeman, or require a water source to fill the urinal flushing tank, as in the Peter Potty.
Most of our competitors compete using similar methods, primarily relying on their websites and the websites of resellers to market their products. Our competitive position against these other companies varies depending on each individual competitors advertising and marketing budgets. Management believes we can compete against these smaller companies because of our products portability, ease of cleaning, and no requirement for a water source. Our product is priced in the middle range of these similar products.
The other competition to the LiL Marc is a wide variety of standard potty trainer potties designed for either little boys or girls that are produced and marketed through much larger companies. These competitors have a marketing advantage over the LiL Marc because their products are usually sold in nationwide retail stores through wholesale distributors. Additionally, these larger competitors have marketing budgets that allow them to advertise in toddler and parenting magazines and on television. We do not have a budget or the ability for national advertising and marketing and instead, must rely on our website and on the websites of resellers as well as word of mouth from customers. When compared with these larger companies, we are at a competitive disadvantage as to marketing and advertising. Management believes that our competitive position is more advantageous against these larger companies because the LiL Marc is a stand alone urinal compared to standard trainer potties. Our product has similar pricing to most trainer potties.
Research and Development
Presently, we are not allocating funds for research and development activities to develop new products or technology. Management does not anticipate allocating funds for primary research in the immediate future. We intend to limit development activities to improving the existing LiL Marc product, production costs and the possible development of complimentary accessories. Management believes that future LiL Marc accessories, once properly sourced, would be relatively inexpensive and their addition could enhance the overall experience when using the product. Accessories can also help in creating product loyalty and may also allow us to increase the suggested retail price. However, it will still be difficult for us to explore any new products and accessories until such time as revenues from the sale of the LiL Marc product have provided sufficient capital reserves to commence such a venture. A minimum capital reserve of $5,000 would be required to explore any accessory possibilities.
Patents and Trademarks
The inventor of the LiL Marc applied for and, on July 16, 1991, was granted a patent relating to the LiL Marc Training Urinal (U.S. Patent Number 318,325). The rights to the patent, the trade name LiL Marc and the right to manufacture the product were subsequently assigned by the inventor to LiL Marc, Inc. (Nevada) on November 10, 1997. LiL Marc, Inc. subsequently assigned the patent, trade name and rights to manufacture to LILM on December 30, 1999. We submitted the Patent Assignment to the United States Patent Office and on February 10, 2000, the assignment was recorded in the Patent Office. On February 25, 2005 we submitted a subsequent Patent Assignment to the United Sates Patent Office conveying the patent rights to our wholly owned subsidiary, LiL Marc, Inc., a Utah corporation. In connection with the assignment of the patent, our subsidiary, will pay to James Curt McKiney, the inventor of the LiL Marc training urinal, an ongoing royalty of $0.25 per urinal sold, due each year on March 31 beginning in 2005.
5
On July 16, 2005 the design patent for the LiL Marc training urinal expired and as of this date we have not yet applied for a new patent with modifications to the LiL Marcs design. Management is evaluating the available options for making any new filing. At this time we are relying on the complex engineering in the current production molds for product protection against any copy of the product. Management believes that a substantial investment of $100,000 or more for production, marketing and packaging would be necessary to bring a similar product to the market. However, without patent protection, current competitors and/or other businesses could duplicate the product and market the same or similar product in direct competition with the LiL Marc. Presently, we do not anticipate filing additional patent applications if new and/or improved products are developed.
There can be no assurance that any future patent applications will result in patents being issued or that the existing patent, or any new patents, if issued, will afford any meaningful protection from competitors. Also, there can be no assurance that we will have the financial resources necessary to enforce any patent rights we may hold. We are not aware of any claim that our patent may infringe, or will infringe any existing patent. However, in the event such a claim is made and we are unsuccessful against such claim, we may be required to obtain licenses to such other patents or proprietary technology in order to develop, manufacture or market our product. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such licenses on commercially reasonable terms or that the patents underlying the licenses will be valid and enforceable.
Employees and Compensation
We presently have one full-time employee, our President, George I. Norman III, and we anticipate that Mr. Norman will devote a minimum of 20 hours per week to company business. Laurie Norman, our Secretary/Treasurer, continues to assists Mr. Norman when needed as an office manager. We will continue to rely on part-time help for office and secretarial work and labor for packaging, shipping and inventory control. We may also use the services of certain outside consultants and advisors as needed on an hourly basis. Our web design and packaging art is rendered by third parties. When we have generated sufficient revenues we will consider hiring additional employees. It is not anticipated that we will have to make significant payroll expenditures until such time as sales of the LiL Marc exceed 500 units per month. However, there can be no assurance that we will ever achieve or exceed this level of unit sales.
The Board of Directors has considered an employee bonus, profit sharing or deferred compensation plan, however no such plans are anticipated to be finalized in the immediate future. We do not have any employment contract with any director or employee.
Facilities
Our facilities consist of a corporate general office located at 1390 South 1100 East, #204, Salt Lake City, Utah 84105. The facilities include approximately 440 square feet situated in a professional office building with some additional room for product and supply storage. We are conveniently located near a FedEx Kinkos and US Post office for order fulfillment. The facilities are shared with the personal offices of our President, Mr. Norman, at a month-to-month base rate of $200 per month plus utilities and storage as needed. Mr. Norman conducts his consulting business and manages his personal investments in the same office facilities and pays an additional $250 per month towards the shared rent. Management believes that the current facilities are adequate for the immediate future. Additionally, we use storage facilities for inventory located at a local mini warehouse facility in the Salt Lake City at a cost of $130 per month. This facility has the capacity to hold approximately 5,000 LiL Marcs.
Industry Segments
No information is presented regarding industry segments. We are presently engaged in the production and marketing of a plastic boys toilet-training device and have no current plans to participate in another business or industry. Reference is made to the statements of income and financial statements included herewith.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Risk Factors Related to Our Business
We are subject to certain substantial risks inherent to our business and set forth or referred to herein. Prospective investors in our securities should carefully consider, among other potential risks, the following risk factors as well as all other information set forth or referred to herein before considering an investment in our common stock. An investment in our shares involves a high degree of risk. If any of the following events or outcomes actually occurs, operating results and financial condition would likely suffer. As a result, the trading price of our common stock could decline and an investor may lose all or part of the money they paid to purchase their shares.
6
We have a limited operating history and have not recorded operating profits since inception. Continuing losses may exhaust capital resources and force us to discontinue operations.
Since 1999 when we acquired the patent rights to the LiL Marc Training Urinal, the trade name LiL Marc and rights to manufacture and market the product, we have had a limited operating history and incurred net losses since inception. From inception through December 31, 2012, we have incurred cumulative losses of approximately $232,000. There can be no assurance that we will produce future material revenues or achieve profitability in the immediate future or at any time, or that we will operate on a profitable basis. The potential to generate profits from our business depends on many factors, including the following:
|
●
|
the ability to secure adequate funding to increase marketing and fund future production of our product;
|
|
●
|
the size and timing of future customer orders, product delivery and customer acceptance, if required;
|
|
●
|
the costs of maintaining and expanding operations; and
|
|
●
|
the ability to attract and retain a qualified work force as business warrants.
|
There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve any of the foregoing factors or realize profitability in the immediate future or at any time.
In order to continue business, we may have to secure additional capital. Additional required capital may not be available at attractive terms, which would have a material negative effect on our business and operating results.
In the event we need additional funds in order to continue or increase current business operations, we may not be able to secure such funding. In the past we have been dependent on funds raised in our initial stock offering in 2002 and the infusion of capital from directors and stockholders in order to continue our business. Currently, management estimates recurring annual total expenses to be approximately $20,000. Management further expects that general, administrative and other operating expenses will increase substantially as we accelerate efforts to expand business and to satisfy increased reporting and stockholder communications obligations under existing securities laws.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain necessary funds to continue operations, or that such funds will be available on favorable terms favorable, or at all. If we borrow funds we will have to pay interest and may also have to agree to restrictions that limit operating flexibility. In addition, our cash requirements may vary materially from those now anticipated by management. These changes may be due to the results of business expansion, potential changes in capital and debt markets, terms on which financing can be obtained, competitive factors and other factors. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to curtail operations, which would have a negative effect on our financial condition.
We may not be able to expand the market for our product, which could cause our business to fail.
It is managements intent to expand the market for our product, but only as ongoing business conditions warrant and, if necessary, funds are available. We presently operate in a limited geographical marketing area and via the Internet. In order to expand the area in which we operate, we must expand facilities, purchase additional equipment and retain additional personnel. Also, there can be no assurance that if we do expand into new areas, such expansion will be successful or that the business generated form the addition of markets will warrant the expenses necessary to facilitate the expansion. If we are unable to successfully expand our marketing area and products offered, our business may not be able to grow or possibly decrease, which will have a negative impact on future operations.
We have only one manufacturer of our product and, if this sole producer is no longer able to produce the units, we may be unable to find a replacement manufacturer and our business could be negatively affected.
Blow Molded Products is presently the only manufacturer of our product, although the stand is subcontracted to a separate entity. If Blow Molded Products was unable to continue to produce the LiL Marc units, we would have to locate another custom blow molded manufacturing company. Management is currently not aware of any other custom blow molded manufacturers that can offer the flexibility of orders as small as 100 and that is also capable of producing orders as large of 10,000. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we could locate an alternate manufacturer to produce our product on terms favorable to us. In this event, we would suffer a delay in production that could negatively affect sales and have an adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
7
The design patent for the LiL Marc training urinal has expired which could allow competitors and other businesses to duplicate and market a similar product, which would have a negative impact on future revenues and financial condition.
The design patent for the LiL Marc, our only product, expired in July 2005 and we do not anticipate filing for additional patent applications related to the product. Without patent protection, we must rely on the complex engineering in the current production molds for product protection against any copy of the product. It is possible that a competitor or other business may duplicate the product and market the same or similar product in direct competition with the LiL Marc. This could have a severe and negative impact on future sales of the LiL Marc, which would negatively affect our financial condition.
The industry in which we operate is highly competitive, which could affect results of operations and make profitability even more difficult to achieve and sustain.
The baby products and related products industry is highly competitive and is marked by many competitors and potential competitors, many of which are much larger with much greater financial resources, such as FisherBPrice. Most existing and potential competitors also have larger market share and larger production capability, which may enable them to establish a stronger competitive position than we have, in part through greater marketing opportunities. If we fail to compete effectively with these businesses or to address competitive developments quickly and effectively, we will not be able to grow our business or remain a viable entity.
Our business could be adversely affected by any adverse economic developments in the baby products industry and/or the economy in general.
We depend on the perceived ongoing demand for our baby products, which may be subject to trends in discretionary spending by the consumer. Therefore, future business is susceptible to downturns in the baby products industry and the economy in general. Any significant downturn in the market or in general economic conditions would likely hurt our business.
Management will devote only minimal time to our business.
Presently, our three directors have other full time obligations and will devote only such time to our business as necessary, except for our President who will devote approximately 20 hours per week. The other directors will devote only such time as may be required as a member of the Board of Directors. Thus, because of their other time commitments, management anticipates that they will devote only a minimal amount of time to our business, at least until such time as business warrants devoting more time.
Effective voting control of our company is held by its three directors.
Our three directors own in the aggregate approximately 72% of our outstanding voting securities. No other person owns as much as of 10% of the outstanding shares. Accordingly, the current directors will have the ability to elect all of our directors, who in turn elect all executive officers, without regard to the votes of other stockholders.
Currently there is not an active market for our common stock.
Although our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, there is not currently an active trading market for the shares. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will ever develop or be maintained. Any trading market for our common stock will most likely be very volatile and effected by numerous factors beyond our control. Only companies that report their current financial information to the SEC may have their securities included on the OTC Bulletin Board. In the event that we lose this status as a "reporting issuer," any future quotation of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board may be jeopardized.
8
The so called "penny stock rule" could make it cumbersome for brokers and dealers to trade in our common stock, making the market less liquid which could have a negative effect on the price of the shares .
Trading in our common stock is subject to certain provisions of the Exchange Act, commonly referred to as the "penny stock" rule. A penny stock is generally defined to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. If our stock is deemed to be a penny stock, trading will be subject to additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers. These may require a broker-dealer to:
|
●
|
make a special suitability determination for purchasers of the shares;
|
|
●
|
receive the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase; and
|
|
●
|
deliver to a prospective purchaser of our shares prior to the first transaction, a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock market.
|
Consequently, penny stock rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to trade and/or maintain a market in our common stock. Also, prospective investors may not want to get involved with the additional administrative requirements, which may have a material adverse effect on the trading of our shares.
We have never paid a dividend and do not intend to do so in the immediate future.
We has never paid cash dividends and have no plans to do so in the foreseeable future. Any future dividend policy will be determined by our Board of Directors and will depend upon a number of factors, including our financial condition and performance, cash needs and expansion plans, income tax consequences, and the restrictions that applicable laws and/or credit arrangements may impose.

Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
|
Our common stock is currently included on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol LILM, although there has not been an active trading market for the shares.
Secondary trading of our shares may be subject to certain state imposed restrictions. Except for being included on the OTC Bulletin Board, there are no plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings with any person concerning the development of a trading market in any of our securities.
The ability of individual stockholders to trade their shares in a particular state may be subject to various rules and regulations of that state. A number of states require that an issuer's securities be registered in their state or appropriately exempted from registration before the securities are permitted to trade in that state.
9
Presently, we have no plans to register our securities in any particular state. Further, our shares most likely will be subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act, commonly referred to as the "penny stock" rule. Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stocks and Rule 15g-9(d)(1) incorporates the definition of penny stock as that used in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act.
The SEC generally defines a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Rule 3a51-1 provides that any equity security is considered to be a penny stock unless that security is: registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by the SEC; authorized for quotation on The NASDAQ Stock Market; issued by a registered investment company; excluded from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share) or the issuer's net tangible assets; or exempted from the definition by the SEC. Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally persons with assets in excess of $1,000,000, excluding personal residence, or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouse), are subject to additional sales practice requirements.
For transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and must have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the first transaction, of a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock market. A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements must be sent to clients disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, these rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to trade and/or maintain a market in our common stock and may affect the ability of stockholders to sell their shares.
As of March 31, 2013, there were 76 holders of record of our common stock, which does not account for stockholders whose shares may be held in a brokerage account or in other nominee name. Because there has been only a limited public trading market for our securities, no trading history is presented herein. We do not currently have outstanding any options, warrants or other securities or instruments that are convertible into shares of our common stock.
We have not filed a registration statement under the Securities Act and all of our outstanding shares of common stock were issued pursuant to exemptions under that Act. In February 2003, we completed an offering of 763,750 shares of common stock to a total of 59 investors for gross proceeds of $61,100. After deducting costs and expenses associated with the offering, the net amount received by us was $55,030. The offering was made pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act provided by Regulation D, Rule 504 of the Securities Act. Sales were made pursuant to an Offering Memorandum and an amended Form D was filed on March 3, 2003 reporting the completion of the offering.
As provided by Rule 502(d) of Regulation D, securities acquired in transactions that satisfy the requirements set forth in Rule 504 are not subject to the resale limitations set forth in Rule 502(d). Accordingly, the 763,750 shares issued pursuant to the Regulation D offering in 2003 are deemed not to be restricted securities, unless held by an affiliate or control person of LILM. The balance of 1,820,000 shares outstanding are considered restricted securities, unless sold or otherwise transferred pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an appropriate exemption from registration. Presently, all the 1,820,000 shares remain as restricted securities.
Subsequent to the Regulation D offering, a director purchased 63,475 shares from two investors in the offering. These shares are deemed control shares and are included in our calculations for restricted shares. Thus, a total of 1,883,475 shares are considered restricted securities and are held by our affiliates or controlling stockholder.
On September 17, 2009 we commenced a private placement offering to sell 2,200,000 common shares at a price of $0.25 per share. We sold 50,000 shares to three investors for gross proceeds of $12,500.
Accordingly, we have a total of 1,883,475 shares that are considered restricted which are held by directors or controlling stockholders. The balances of 750,275 shares are considered freely tradable and may be sold, transferred or otherwise traded in the public market without restriction, unless held by an affiliate. Because a total of 1,883,475 restricted shares have been issued and outstanding for more than six months, Rule 144 of the Securities Act is available to the holders of these shares.
10
Rule 144 is the common means for a stockholder to resell restricted securities and for affiliates, to sell their securities, either restricted on non restricted (control) shares. Under the amended Rule 144, an affiliate of a company filing reports under the Exchange Act who has held their shares for more than six months, may sell in any three-month period an amount of shares that does not exceed the greater of:
● the average weekly trading volume in the common stock, as reported through the automated quotation system of a registered securities association, during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale, or
● 1% of the shares then outstanding.
Sales by affiliates under Rule 144 are also subject to certain requirements as to the manner of sale, filing appropriate notice and the availability of current public information about the issuer.
A non-affiliate stockholder of a reporting company who has held their shares for more than six months, may make unlimited resales under Rule 144, provided only that the issuer has available current public information about itself. After a one-year holding period, a non-affiliate may make unlimited sales with no other requirements or limitations.
We cannot predict the effect any future sales under Rule 144 may have on the market price of our common stock, but such sales may have a substantial depressing effect on such market price.
All of the 1,883,475 shares considered restricted securities and held by our three directors, are presently eligible for sale pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144, subject to the volume and other limitations set forth under Rule 144. Accordingly, assuming the conditions of Rule 144 are otherwise met, each of these individuals could sell up to 26,338 shares per three month period.
Dividend Policy
We have not declared or paid cash dividends or made distributions in the past, and we do not anticipate that we will pay cash dividends or make distributions in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain and invest future earnings to finance operations.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
|
The following information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
We are considered a development stage company with minimal cash assets and limited operations and revenue. Ongoing operating expense, including the costs associated with the preparation and filing of our registration statement, have been paid for by (i) the net proceeds from our stock offering in 2002; and (ii) from advances from a stockholder. A net total of $52,756 has been advanced by Alewine Limited Liability Company, a 72% stockholder that is owned by two directors, George Norman and Laurie Norman and managed by Mr. Norman, our President. The debt is evidenced by notes that are payable upon demand. On January 1, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a modification of the terms of these loans to include an annual, simple interest rate of 4%. Related interest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 was $1,902.
It is anticipated that we will require approximately $20,000 over the next 12 months to fund operations and to maintain our corporate viability. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenues from sales of our product, we may have to rely on funds from credit lines, directors and/or stockholders in the future. There is no assurance at this time that we will be able to secure additional funds if necessary. We also do not have any further commitments from a director or stockholder to provide any additional funding.
Results of Operations
For the Year Ended December 31, 2012 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2011
11
We recognized revenues of $19,177 for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to revenues of $19,747 for the year ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in sales during 2012 is attributed to a 33% decrease ($4,213) in wholesale orders from $12,589 in 2011 to $8,376 in 2012, offset by a 51% increase ($3,643) in retail orders from our websites from $7,158 in 2011 to 10,801 in 2012. Our cost of good sales for the year ended December 31, 2012 were 9.75% ($1,870) of our total sales and were a 26% decrease ($656) compared to the year ended December 31, 2011.
Total expenses for 2012 were $35,668 compared to $29,046 for 2011, a 23% increase. The increase includes a 23% increase in administrative expenses from $28,453 in 2011 to $35,130 in 2012, primarily due to a 48% increase ($7,766) of general operating expenses offset by a 6% decrease ($525) in professional fees from $8,285 in 2011 to $8,810 in 2012, including legal and accounting expenses. We realized a net loss of $20,263 for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to a loss of $11,825 in 2011. The increase in net loss for 2012 is directly attributed to an increase in general operating expenses of $7,766 which includes Edgar and XBRL filing fees of $4,925, an increase in rent expense of $260, an increase in interest expense of $1,902 offset by a decrease in professional fees of $525 and a decrease in royalties of $55.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2012, we had total assets of $2,635 consisting of $447 in cash, $1,168 in inventory and $1,020 in equipment. At December 31, 2011, total assets were $3,814, consisting of $2,454 in inventory and $1,360 in equipment. Total liabilities at December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $86,111 and $67,027 respectively. Total liabilities at December 31, 2012 consisted primarily of $19,655 for professional fees, $9,520 in past due rent and storage, demand notes in the amount of $52,756 issued to a private limited liability company owned by two directors George Norman and Laurie Norman and accrued interest of $1,902. On January 1, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a modification of the terms of these loans to include an annual, simple interest rate of 4%. Total liabilities at December 31, 2011 consisted primarily of $13,435 for professional fees, $7,200 in past due rent and storage, and demand notes in the amount of $46,153 issued to the same private limited liability company owned by the two directors.
Because we currently have only minimal revenues and limited cash reserves, we may have to rely on directors and stockholders to pay expenses until such time as we realize adequate revenues from the production and sales of our baby product. There is no assurance that we will be able to generate adequate revenues in the immediate future to satisfy cash needs. At December 31, 2011, we had cash on hand of $0, negative working capital of $67,027 and total stockholders’ deficiency of 63,213. At December 31, 2012, we had cash on hand of $447, negative working capital of $85,664 and total stockholders’ deficiency of 83,476.
In the opinion of management, inflation has not and will not have a material effect on our ongoing operations.
Plan of Operation
During the next 12 months, we plan to focus on improving our website found at http://LiLMarc.com and http://Boyspottytraining.com. Anticipated improvements include simplifying the ordering process, improving the appearance and layout of the website, and making changes to the website that would increase impulse purchases. We will also continue to focus on improving relationships with resellers that sell our product on their websites and on engaging new website hosts for the product. Management anticipates that this can be accomplished through individual calls and e-mails to the website hosts. Because we lack immediate requisite funds, it may be necessary to rely on advances from directors and/or stockholders, although we have no firm commitment from anyone to advance future funds. Management intends to hold expenses to a minimum and to obtain services on a contingency basis when possible. Further, directors will defer any compensation until such time as business warrants the payment of such.
On September 17, 2009 we commenced a private placement offering to sell 2,200,000 of its common shares at a price of $0.25 per share for a term of six months. At that time the Board had the discretion and extended the private placement until December 31, 2010. A total of 50,000 shares were sold during 2009 and 2010 for total proceeds of $12,500. We are exploring other options to raise additional capital. There can be no assurance that any additional shares will be sold in another private placement. In addition, if we are unable to generate sufficient revenues, we may have to rely on funds from credit lines, directors and/or stockholders in the future. The purpose of any additional funding is to provide the company with more marketing and operating capital.
The LiL Marc has had a consistent market on the Internet with very little additional advertising. Many customers are referred by earlier customers or they are repeat purchasers. Often when a purchase is made from a new section of the country, it is usually followed by multiple orders from the same geographic area. The product has had success as a gift item for grandchildren, birthdays and baby showers. While there are other products in the market place, we believe the LiL Marc is unique in that it is completely a stand alone product that does not require a water source, making it very portable. The LiL Marc has a simple functional design that caregiver and son can all relate to and it fits into any bathroom setting. Often the young boy using it considers it his own. Due to the LiL Marc’s uniqueness and potential market of approximately 2,000,000 newborn males every year in the US, we believe there will continue to be a market and a captive audience because every parent wants their child to be successful at potty training.
12
Our current marketing strategy has been to produce a product that is available to the public through our web sites at www.LiLMarc.com or www.BoysPottyTraining.com, or through our wholesale resellers. Although our web sites place well in the search engines, we have not done any additional advertising. We continue to review and consider options on improving our websites. Recent improvements include simplifying the ordering process, improving the appearance and layout of the website and making changes to the website that might increase impulse purchases. We continue to focus on improving our relationships with resellers that sell the LiL Marc on their websites and on engaging new website hosts for the product.
Management continues to review its production of either additional stands or urinals. Our manufacturing is presently at two different locations by two different processes and using two different types of molds. We would like to organize all of our manufacturing at one location using the same process. This would involve making a new blow mold for the LiL Marc’s base and stand to match up with the blow mold used to make the urinal. Our plan would be to use Blow Molder Products in Glen Avon, CA, the current manufacturer of the LiL Marc urinal.
Our ancillary operations are currently housed in our corporate office with some light storage and a separate storage for inventory at another location
If we cannot generate or secure adequate funds during the next 12 months, we may be forced to seek alternatives such a joint venture or licensing our product. If we are unsuccessful in securing alternative sources of revenue, we may have to cease operations or sell off existing inventory at liquidating prices.
After paying certain costs and expenses related to ongoing administrative costs and the associated professional fees, including any residual or ongoing cost of preparing and filing our registration statement, management estimates that it will have sufficient funds to operate for the next six to twelve months. If business revenues do not provide enough funds to continue operations, it may be necessary for us to seek additional financing. This would most likely come from current directors, although the directors are under no obligation to provide additional funding and there is no assurance outside funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.
Because we rely on others for production of our product, we do not expect to make any significant capital expenditures for new equipment or other assets during 2011. In addition, on August 2, 2010 we purchased an injection mold from a China consortium for $510 to produce the base and stand for the LiL Marc training urinal. The Company made another payment of $1,190 in December of 2010 to put the mold into production using a facility in China. The mold came into use beginning in January of 2011. The Company is still evaluating the future use of this mold. If additional equipment does become necessary, we believe that we may have to seek outside financing to acquire the equipment or assets.
Currently, we have two main employees. Our President devotes approximately 20 hours per week to our business and our Secretary assists on an as-needed basis. We also sometimes schedule additional part-time laborers for packaging and shipping. Management believes that these employees will be adequate for the foreseeable future, or until our production reaches a level to justify additional employees. Further, we believe that in the event increased business necessitates additional employees, we will be able to pay the added expenses of these employees from increased revenues.
We estimate that we will need a minimum monthly expenditure of approximately $1,000 for office costs. This monthly cost will consist of office phone and fax (approximately $175 per month), 800 number (base of $5 plus per call charge of $0.15 per minute), office rent ($200 per month), storage rent ($130 per month), and part time help for packaging (estimated to be from $80 to $120 per month). Additionally, there is a monthly Internet commerce cost of $100 and other varying miscellaneous expenses.
At the beginning of 2011 we had 2,300 new stand and bases made by a Chinese subcontractor, Shuangwei Traffic Facilities Co. Ltd. at a total cost of $4,266. During the next twelve months, management may seek an estimate from Shuangwei to produce a matching urinal for the stand and bases. Management does not have an estimate of those costs.
13
Depending on continuing sales, we may need to order an additional 5,000 complete urinals, stands and bases at our current estimated cost of $6.22 each for a total cost of $31,150. This option would involve using our subcontractor in China for the stands and bases and our manufacturer in southern California for the urinals. This production cost will be funded from product sales or through a loan from a director(s).
Management believes that funds for the cost of operations for the next 12 months will come from current working capital, revenue generated from product sales, and possibly loans or advances from officers and directors, although no officer or director has made any such commitment. In the event we are unable to generate or secure adequate funds to achieve the milestones set forth above, management will explore various alternatives in order to attain our goals. This may involve seeking a joint venture with another baby product company or marketing company to manufacture and market the LiL Marc training urinal. We may also consider licensing our product to another baby product or marketing company in exchange for a royalty. Presently, we have no firm plan or commitment to pursue any alternative.
If we find it necessary to pursue one or more alternatives, it would most likely reduce future revenues from our own product sales and such revenues may not be enough to meet all of our obligations. Also, if no viable alternative is available, we may have to cease operations temporarily or sell off existing inventory at liquidating prices. There can be no assurance that we will be able to generate or secure adequate funds to accomplish our objectives during the next twelve months, nor is there any assurance that alternative pursuits will be successful in generating the necessary funds needed to continue operations.
Net Operating Loss
We have accumulated approximately $181,694 of net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2012. This loss carry forward may be offset against taxable income and income taxes in future years and expires starting in the year 2020. The use of these losses to reduce future income taxes will depend on the generation of sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards. In the event of certain changes in control, there will be an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that can be used. This could occur in the event we are purchased, acquired by or merged with another company whereby the stockholders of the new or merging company would be issued the majority of the issued and outstanding shares and our current stockholders would hold a minority of the issued and outstanding shares. This could result in an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that could be used by the ongoing business.
The income tax benefit of approximately $61,778 at December 31, 2012 from the carryforwards has been fully offset by a valuation reserve because the use of the future tax benefit is doubtful since we have not started full operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not expect the adoption of any recent accounting pronouncements to have a material impact on its financial statements.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this annual report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and principal accounting officer, 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) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their desired control objectives. Additionally, in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures, management is required to apply its reasonable judgment.
Based upon the required evaluation, our chief executive officer and principal accounting officer concluded as of December 31, 2012, that our disclosure controls and procedures due to a lack of adequate segregation of duties and the absence of an audit committee were not effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the company required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act to be recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls over financial reporting subsequent to the date we carried out our evaluation.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for our company. Our control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that :
15
|
●
|
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and disposition of our assets;
|
|
●
|
provide reasonable assurance that the transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and that receipts and expenditures are being made only with proper authorizations of management and directors; and
|
|
●
|
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of company assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
|
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
Because of 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.
Management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting – Guidance for Smaller Public Companies. Based on our assessment and those criteria, management concluded that during the period covered by this report, our internal control and procedures over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2012 due to a lack of adequate segregation of duties and the absence of an audit committee
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the period covered by this report, there was no significant change in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

___________________________
All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. There are no agreements with respect to the election of directors. We have not compensated directors for service on the Board of Directors or any committee thereof, but directors are entitled to be reimbursed for expenses incurred for attendance at meetings of the Board and any committee of the Board. However, directors may defer their expenses and/or take payment in shares of our common stock. As of the date hereof, no director has accrued any expenses or compensation. Officers are appointed annually by the Board of Directors and each executive officer serves at the discretion of the Board. We do not have any standing committees.

No director, officer, affiliate or promoter has, within the past ten years, filed any bankruptcy petition, been convicted in or been the subject of any pending criminal proceedings, or is any such person the subject or any order, judgment, or decree involving the violation of any state or federal securities laws.
Directors currently devote only such time to company affairs as needed. The time devoted could amount to as little as 1% of the time they devote to their own business affairs, or if business conditions ultimately warrant, they could possibly elect to devote their full time to our business. Presently, there are no other persons whose activities are material to our operations.
Currently, there is no arrangement, agreement or understanding between management and non-management stockholders under which non-management stockholders may directly or indirectly participate in or influence the management of our affairs. Present management openly accepts and appreciates any input or suggestions from stockholders. However, the Board of Directors is elected by the stockholders and the stockholders have the ultimate say in who represents them on the Board. There are no agreements or understandings for any officer or director to resign at the request of another person and none of the current offers or directors are acting on behalf of, or will act at the direction of any other person.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2012
20
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of LILM, Inc. and Subsidiary and
LIL Marc, Inc. (predecessor)
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of LILM, Inc. and Subsidiary and LIL Marc, Inc. (predecessor) (a Development Stage Company) (the Company) as of December 31, 2012 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficiency and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012, and for the period April 22, 1997 (date of inception of predecessor) to December 31, 2012. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2011, and for the period April 22, 1997 (date of inception of predecessor) to December 31, 2011 were audited by other auditors whose report, dated March 21, 2012, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of LILM, Inc. and Subsidiary and LIL Marc, Inc. (predecessor) (a Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2012, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2012, and for the period April 22, 1997 (date of inception of predecessor) to December 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred operating losses since inception and will need additional working capital to service its debt and for its planned activity, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 9 to the financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on December 30, 1999 with authorized common stock of 25,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.001.
The principal business activity of the Company is to manufacture and market the LiL Marc urinal used in the training of young boys.
During January 2005 the Company organized LiL Marc, Inc., in the state of Utah, and transferred all its assets, liabilities, and operations to LiL Marc Inc. in exchange for all of the outstanding stock of LiL Marc, Inc. for the purpose of continuing the operations in the subsidiary.
LiL Marc, Inc. (predecessor) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on April 22, 1997 for the purpose of marketing and sales of the LiL Marc training urinal for use by young boys. The marketing and sales activity was transferred to LILM, Inc. on December 30, 1999.
Included in the following financial statements are the combined statements of operations of LIL Marc, Inc. (predecessor) for the period April 22, 1997 to December 30, 1999 and LILM, Inc., and its subsidiary, for the period December 30, 1999 to December 31, 2012.
The accompanying balance sheet of LILM, Inc and Subsidiary and LiL Marc, Inc. (predecessor) (development stage company) as of the December 31, 2012 and related statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the period April 22, 1997 ( date of inception of predecessor) to December 31, 2012, and related statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31,2012 and 2011 and the period April 22, 1997 (date of inception of predecessor) to December 31, 2012, have been prepared in accordance with the requirements for conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

LILM, INC. and SUBSIDIARY and LIL MARC, INC. (predecessor)
(Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2012 and 2011
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect, when the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded, when it is more likely than not, that such tax benefits will not be realized.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks and highly liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition.
Long-lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets and intangibles periodically to determine potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets with the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets, including cash flows from disposition. Should the sum of the expected future cash flows be less than the carrying value, the Company would recognize an impairment loss. An impairment loss would be measured by comparing the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets and intangibles. To date, management has determined that no impairment of long-lived assets exists.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized upon the completion of the sale and shipment of the training urinal product. The product is sold via the internet and is delivered to customers or to wholesale resellers using a ground courier service.
Advertising and Market Development
The company expenses advertising and market development costs as incurred. The Company incurred $0 in advertising and market development costs for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2012 and 2011
Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and accounts payable, are considered by management to be their estimated fair values due to their short term maturities.
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of shares actually outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share amounts are computed using the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding as if shares had been issued on the exercise of any common share rights unless the exercise becomes antidilutive and then the basic and diluted per share amounts are the same. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no common stock equivalents outstanding.
Financial and Concentrations Risk
The Company does not have any concentration or related financial credit risk.
Estimates and Assumptions
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were assumed in preparing these financial statements.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary from its inception. All significant intercompany accounts and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

9. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company does not have sufficient working capital for its planned activity, and to service its debt, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining additional working capital and the management of the Company has developed a strategy, which it believes will accomplish this objective through short term loans from an officer-director, and additional equity investment, which will enable the Company to continue operations for the coming year.
