PART I
Item 1. Business.
Overview
Unique Underwriters, Inc. (the “Company”) is a national, independent, mortgage protection insurance sales and marketing company located in the Dallas, Texas area. The Company was incorporated in the State of Texas on July 28, 2009.
Unique Underwriters, Inc. offers the following forms of insurance sales:
Mortgage life insurance is a form of life insurance that will cover the cost of the mortgage in the event of policy holder’s death, so that his/her family doesn’t have to worry about paying it off without the aid of primary income. Life insurance can be used for a variety of purposes, such as: providing for your spouse and children, paying off a mortgage and other debts, transferring wealth or business interests, accumulating cash on a tax advantaged basis, achieving estate tax liquidity, saving money for college expenses or retirement or other life events. Disability Insurance pays the insured a monthly benefit if he/she becomes disabled, as a result of an accident or disease, and cannot perform the duties of their own job.
Funeral expense insurance is an insurance policy used to pay for funeral services and a burial when the named insured dies. Such a policy helps ease the financial burden placed on a family when a loved one dies. It is no different than a traditional life insurance policy with a small monetary value. Funeral expense insurance allows the named insured to feel safe knowing that funeral-related expenses are covered regardless of the status of their estate at the time of death.
The Company provides sales and marketing assistance for its agents by utilizing direct-mail lead programs, insurance sales training and agency-building opportunities. The Company rents quality leads to its agents that allow the agent to generate sales of mortgage protection insurance policies, final expense insurance policies, annuities and life insurance policies. UUI generates revenue from three sources: (1) commissions from insurance carriers as a result of policies sold by our network of independent agents; (2) renting leads to our network of independent agents; (3) and the sales of annual membership packages to our agents that provide various levels of access to leads, training, personalized website, mentoring, customer support, company events and conventions.
We will require additional funding in order to pursue our business objectives and there is no guarantee that we will be successful in this regard.
There have been no material reclassifications, mergers, consolidations or purchases or sales of any significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business since the date of incorporation. The Company has never been party to any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding, nor has it undergone any material reclassification, merger, consolidation, purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business.

Plan of Operation
About Our Company
The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations since inception and has a negative working capital. Investors should be aware that our independent auditors have issued an audit opinion which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. However, although still negative, the numbers contained herein continue to show greater increases toward overall profitability and management is confident that the next quarter ending September 30, 2013 should indicate that the Company has finally achieved a small level of profitability in its operations. In fact, since net loss for the nine months ended 3/31/2013 was (55,694) and net loss for the year ended 6/30/2013 was (48,715), the last quarter ended 6/30/2013 had a small profit of $6,979.
The Company’s plans with regard to alleviating its working deficiency encompass the following actions: 1) obtain funding from new investors, 2) obtain funding from new equity or debt financing, and 3) implement a plan to generate sales and increase production. We have no plans to combine with another business, and we are not aware of any events or circumstances that might cause these plans to change. Furthermore, our working capital requirements are expected to increase in line with the growth of our business and we anticipate additional increases in operating expenses and capital expenditures relating to: (i) mailing expenses; (ii) advertisement expenses; and (iii) marketing expenses. Additional issuances of equity or debt securities could potentially result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further, such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. We anticipate that our operational, and general and administrative expenses for the next 12 months will total approximately $1,500,000. We also do not expect any significant additions to the number of employees, unless financing is raised. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon its ability to resolve its liquidity problems and increase profitability in its current business operations. However, the outcome of management’s plans cannot be ascertained with any degree of certainty. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these risks and uncertainties.
The Company has filed a prospectus that relates to the offering by the Company of a total of 77,460,612 shares of our common stock on a "self-underwritten" basis at a fixed price of $0.15 per share. As of January 23, 2013, we became a public company and as a result of our listing on the OTCBB are responsible for filing various forms with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) such as this Form 10K and Form 10Qs. Investors and shareholders may read and copy any material filed by us with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street N.W., Washington, DC, 20549. The shareholders may obtain information on the operations of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information which we have filed electronically with the SEC by assessing the website using the following address: http://www.sec.gov.

PART II
Item 4. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Market for Common Equity
As the Company is a “smaller reporting company,” it is not required to provide the performance graph required in paragraph (e) of Item 201.
Market Information
As of June 30, 2013, our common stock is posted for trading on the OTCBB and has the trading symbol “UUWR”. Our shareholders' list of our common shares showed 133 registered shareholders holding 77,460,612 shares; there are no shares held by broker-dealers.
The OTCBB is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last sale prices and volume information in over-the-counter (OTC) securities. The OTCBB is not an issuer listing service, market or exchange. Although the OTCBB does not have any listing requirements, as such, to be eligible for quotation on the OTCBB, issuers must remain current in their filings with the SEC or applicable regulatory authority. Market makers are not permitted to begin quotation of a security whose issuer does not meet this filing requirement. Securities already quoted on the OTCBB that become delinquent in their required filings will be removed following a 30 or 60 day grace period if they do not make their required filing during that time.
Holders
As of June 30, 2013, 77,460,612 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding. There are 133 shareholders of our common stock and each shareholder of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Holders of our common stock representing a majority of the voting power of our capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of our stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation. Although there are no provisions in our charter or by-laws that may delay, defer or prevent a change in control, we are authorized, without shareholder approval, to issue shares of preferred stock that may contain rights or restrictions that could have this effect. Holders of common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. Holders of our common stock have no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our common stock.
(7) |
Dividends
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on common stock. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be dependent upon then existing conditions, including our financial condition and results of operations, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, business prospects, and other factors that the board of directors considers relevant.
Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans
We do not have any equity compensation plans and accordingly we have no securities authorized for issuance hereunder.
Purchases of equity securities by the Issuer and affiliated purchasers
There were no shares of common stock or other securities issued to the issuer or affiliated purchasers during the year ended June 30, 2013.
Penny Stock
Our common stock is considered to be a “penny stock” under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market System, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or quotation system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, that:
- | contains a description of the nature and level of risks in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; |
- | contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of Securities’ laws; contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; |
- | contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; |
- | defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and |
- | contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the Commission shall require by rule or regulation. |
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with:
- | bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; |
- | the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; |
- | the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the marker for such stock; and |
- | monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. |
In addition, the penny stock rules that require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgement of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitably statement.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock.

Item 5. Selected Financial Data
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.
Item 6. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto.
Forward-Looking Statements
As previously stated, this annual report contains forward-looking statements relating to us that are based on the beliefs of our management as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. When used in this Report, the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect management’s current view of us concerning future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including among many others: our potential inability to raise additional capital, the possibility that third parties hold proprietary rights that preclude us from marketing our products, the emergence of additional competing technologies, changes in domestic and foreign laws, regulations and taxes, changes in economic conditions, a general economic downturn, a downturn in the securities markets, Securities and Exchange Commission regulations which affect trading in the securities of “penny stocks,” and other risks and uncertainties. Should any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in this Report as anticipated, estimated or expected.
Use of GAAP Financial Measures
We use GAAP financial measures in the section of this annual report captioned “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” All of the GAAP financial measures used by us in this report relate to the inclusion of financial information.
Overview
This subsection of MD&A is an overview of the important factors that management focuses on in evaluating our businesses, financial condition and operating performance, our overall business strategy and our earnings for the periods covered.
General
Unique Underwriters, Inc. is a national Independent Marketing Organization that focuses exclusively on the sale of mortgage protection insurance policies, final expense insurance policies and life insurance policies. The Company provides sales and marketing assistance for its agents by utilizing direct-mail lead programs, insurance sales training and agency-building opportunities. The Company rents quality leads to its agents that allow the agent to generate sales of mortgage protection insurance policies, final expense insurance policies and life insurance policies. UUI generates revenue from three (3) sources: commissions from insurance carriers as a result of policies sold by our network of independent agents, renting leads to our network of independent agents, and the sales of annual membership packages to our agents that provide various levels of access to leads, training, personalized website, mentoring, customer support, company events and conventions.
Management has continued its policy of reduction of expenses to insure the continued viability of the Company. Although future cash flow is always difficult to predict, by eliminating expenses and increasing our marketing, lead generation and production efforts, management continues to believe that net profits should improve due to the following factors:
(1) Advertising programs on Monster.com and Craigslist.com and regular conference calls, which are designed to inform agents of (i) new direct mail areas of coverage, (ii) where the leads were coming in from, and (iii) the benefits of our membership packages;
(2) Newly designed web site to further aid our agents and streamline the order process for those individuals who submit inquiries through the site; and
3) Kramer Mailings (“Kramer”) continues to show a very high rate of return on leads which equates to more leads coming in for our agents to pursue, which in turn meant more lead revenue and ultimately more insurance policies being sold, which means even more revenue for the Company.
Results of Operations
Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation.
We expect we will require additional capital to meet our long term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through, among other things, the sale of equity or debt securities.
(9) |
Revenues
We had revenue of $ 1,524,576 for the current fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, of which $811,136 was from commissions due to sales of insurance products, including mortgage life insurance and funeral expense insurance, and $713,440 from the sales of leads during the current fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.
Comparatively, we had revenue of $ 2,492,664 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, of which $1,741,975 was from commissions due to sales of insurance products, including mortgage life insurance and funeral expense insurance, and $750,690 from the sales of leads during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. The decrease by $968,088 or 39 %, during the current fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 was due in large part to limited capital resources which caused the number of mailings to be decreased. Less mailings going out meant fewer leads coming in which in turn resulted in less income from the sale of leads and less production from the sale of insurance policies.
Cost of Sales
The cost of sales was $649,161, or 43 % of revenues for the current fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.
Cost of sales includes the costs directly attributable to revenue recognition, such as marketing and leads generation costs, leads purchased costs, and payments to agents, which was $151,864, $173,949, and $323,348 for the current fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.
Comparatively, the cost of sales was $1,183,810, or 47% of revenues, for the year ended June 30, 2012, including Marketing/Leads Generation of $408,854, Leads Purchased Cost of $ 188,623 and agent expenses of $586,333 for the year ended June 30, 2012.
We recognized cost of sales in the same manner in conjunction with revenue recognition, when the costs were incurred. Contract labor expenses were not directly related to the generation of sales; rather, these were involved in the selling, general and administrative expenses of the business.
Expenses
We had operating expenses of $914,255 during the current fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, compared to operating expenses of $1,933,593 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. The decrease by $1,019,338 during the current fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 was due primarily to the decrease in consulting fees, contract labor, payroll and related taxes, stock issued for services rendered and other general and administrative expenses by $81,401, $113,553, $336,732, $345,000 and $138,715, respectively.
Expenses included in other administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations are miscellaneous and sundry expenses pertaining to office expenses and office supplies that are immaterial to be presented separately on the face of the statement of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $50,682 during the current fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. Negative cash flow from operation during the current fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 was due to the net loss of $48,715, the increase in accounts receivable by $1,780, the increase in rent deposit by 4,578, plus the decrease in accounts payable in amount of $31,987, offset by the increase in accrued payroll taxes by $25,892.
Comparatively, net cash used in operating activities was $264,113 during the years ended June 30, 2012. Negative cash flow from operation during the year ended June 30, 2012 was due to the net loss of $624,724, plus the decrease in customer deposit by 27,497, offset by the increase in accounts payable and accrued payroll taxes in amount of $26,408 and $16,700, respectively, and the non-cash expenses of $345,000 resulting from the stock issuance of 2,300,000 shares as compensation.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $3,371 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, due primarily to the purchase of furniture. Comparatively, we had no cash flow from investing activities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $45,484 for the current fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 due to proceeds from related party loans. Comparatively, net cash provided by financing activities was $242,000 due to the proceeds of $250,000 from unsecured loan payable, offset by stock redemption in amount of $8,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.
Critical Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition – The Company applies paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when services are realized or realizable and earned less estimated future doubtful accounts. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met:
(i) | persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, |
(ii) | the services have been rendered and all required milestones achieved, |
(iii) | the sales price is fixed or determinable, and |
(iv) | collectability is reasonably assured. |
The approval from the Company’s insurance carriers, which occurs upon receipt of our commission check and the policy, is reviewed online, and related completion of services to the client is an event that triggers revenue recognition.
No revenue is recognized prior to receipt of the commission check.
The lead sales revenue is recognized when one of our agents submits an order to rent leads and simultaneously their credit card is processed and the leads are distributed to them. The Company recognizes revenue when the agent submits an order to rent the leads for 30 days. After thirty days the leads become available for rental to another agent. Leads may be rented multiple times at decreasing rates due to the lead’s age and number of times it has been rented.
Membership revenue recognition occurs when an agent registers for one of the Company’s websites online and submits their payment information; the agent must give 30 days notice of request to cancel their membership. The Company recognizes revenue related to our various membership plans as income on a straight-line basis over the length of membership period.
The customer deposit is strictly related to Executive Membership Package. After submitting a $500 deposit, an Executive Member can request that the Company directly mail letters to new home owners and/or senior citizens to generate new direct mail response leads. The Company refunds these deposits back to Executive Members when they no longer request that the Company directly mail letters to new home owners and/or senior citizens to generate new direct mail response leads. However, the Executive Members may also apply these deposits towards the leads sale or membership fees in the future. After the Executive Member cancels their direct mail service, they have the choice to use these deposits for additional leads, request that the deposits be applied towards membership, or ask for refunds. If deposits are used for additional leads, revenue is recognized when services are realized or realizable and earned. If deposits are used for membership fees, revenue is recognized over the length of membership period. For the current fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, the Company refunded $0 to Executive Members.
Cost of Sales - The Company’s policy is to recognize cost of sales in the same manner in conjunction with revenue recognition, when the costs are incurred. Cost of sales includes the costs directly attributable to revenue recognition and include marketing and leads generation costs, leads purchased costs and agent expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses are charged to expense as incurred.
(11) |
Plan of Operation and Funding
We expect that working capital requirements will continue to be funded through a combination of our existing funds and further issuances of securities. Our working capital requirements are expected to increase in line with the growth of our business. In connection with our business plan, management anticipates additional increases in operating expenses and capital expenditures relating to: (i) mailing expenses; (ii) advertisement expenses; and (iii) marketing expenses. We intend to finance these expenses with further issuances of securities, and potentially debt issuances. Thereafter, we expect we will need to raise additional capital and generate revenues to meet long-term operating requirements. Additional issuances of equity or debt securities could potentially result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further, such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our business operations. We will have to raise additional funds in the next twelve months in order to sustain and expand our operations. We currently do not have a specific plan of how we will obtain such funding; however, we anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock.
We had cash of $10,586 on hand as of June 30, 2013, and the accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2013 was $11,357,862. The Company’s current cash on hand is not sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the next twelve month period. Completion of our plan of operations is subject to attaining adequate revenue. We cannot assure investors that adequate revenues will be generated. Even without adequate revenues within the next twelve months, we still anticipate being able to continue with our present activities, but we may require financing to achieve operation and growth goals and to meet our working capital requirements. If we are able to conduct an equity offering, there will be dilution to the current stockholders of the Company and to the investors that acquire shares in the offering; and if we are able to conduct a debt offering, we will likely be subject to various covenants on our business operations and may be required to make payments during the term of the securities.
We anticipate that our operational, and general and administrative expenses for the next 12 months will total approximately $1,500,000. We also do not expect any significant additions to the number of employees, unless financing is raised. The foregoing represents our best estimate of our cash needs based on current planning and business conditions. The exact allocation, purposes and timing of any monies raised in subsequent private financings may vary significantly depending upon the exact amount of funds raised and our progress with the execution of our business plan.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Going Concern
The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations since inception and has a negative working capital. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. However, although still negative, the numbers contained herein continue to show greater increases toward overall profitability and management is confident that the next quarter ending September 30, 2013 should indicate that the Company has finally achieved a small level of profitability in its operations. In fact, since net loss for the nine months ended 3/31/2013 was (55,694) and net loss for the year ended 6/30/2013 was (48,715), the last quarter ended 6/30/2013 had a small profit of $6,979.
Management’s plans with regard to these matters encompass the following actions: 1) obtain funding from new investors to alleviate the Company’s working deficiency, and 2) implement a plan to generate sales. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon its ability to resolve it liquidity problems and increase profitability in its current business operations. However, the outcome of management’s plans cannot be ascertained with any degree of certainty. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these risks and uncertainties.

Item 7. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
The Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm issued by Bongiovanni & Associates, CPAs for the audited financial statements for current fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 is included herein immediately preceding the audited financial statements.
Our audited financial statements are included following the signature page to this Form 10K.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
There have been no disagreements related to accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, internal controls or auditing scope or procedure.
Item 9A. 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 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 to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of a control system are met. Further, any control system reflects limitations on resources and the benefits of a control system must be considered relative to its costs. These limitations also include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of a control. A design of a control system is also based upon certain assumptions about potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.
As of June 30, 2013, the year end period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
(13) |
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Management has employed a framework consistent with Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(c), to evaluate internal control over financial reporting described below. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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.
The Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2013. As a result of this assessment, we concluded that, as of June 30, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting was effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
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 preparations and presentations. 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.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There were no changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the evaluation date.
Item 9B. Other Information
No items required to be reported on Form 8-K during the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2013 covered by this report were not previously reported on Form 8-K.

Since 2002, his primary focus has been the Mortgage Protection, Final Expense, Tax Shelter Annuities, 403b, and Annuity markets. Over the years, Mr. Wolfe aspired to create a more distinctive independent marketing organization that brokered insurance and licensed leads to agents in a mentor-network environment. Using his experience and innovative designs for networking organizations, Mr. Wolfe aligned his organizational and lead generation experience with Mr. Simpson’s experience in the areas of recruiting, training and marketing in the insurance business.
Ralph Simpson, Co-founder, Chief Operating Officer, Chairman, Director
Mr. Simpson has more than 20 years in the real estate industry and over 10 years in the insurance industry. He serves as the co-founder, Chairman, Chief Operating Officer and Director of UUI. Ralph purchased his first income producing property at the age of 18. After graduating college, Mr. Simpson built and sold several businesses, and in 2001 after being recruited into the mortgage protection insurance market, Ralph realized the need for standardized training for new agents and established an insurance pre-licensing training institute “Simpson Sales Academy in Bedford Texas. Mr. Simpson was a licensed insurance agent for Conseco from 2001 to 2003, with National Agents Alliance from 2003 – December of 2008, and Equita through April of 2010. In May of 2010, Mr. Simpson, in conjunction with Sam Wolfe, co-founded Unique Underwriters, Inc. The Simpson Sales Academy continues to support pre-licensing training for insurance agents, however, does not conflict with nor compete with Unique Underwriters, Inc.

In light of the business and structure of Unique Underwriters, it was important to choose directors with the particular experience, qualifications and skills in order to serve as directors of the Company.

In the case of Mr. Wolfe, he has previously co-founded a mortgage protection insurance company and an independent marketing organization which focused on mortgage protection insurance.

(18) |
Equity Awards
The shares awarded to Messrs. Wolfe and Simpson are fully vested. The fair value of the shares awarded was based on their service of forming the Company. These shares were issued later because there were not an adequate number of authorized shares in the Company’s treasury at the foundation of the company. No stock options or stock appreciation rights were outstanding with respect to any of our directors or executive officers as of June 30, 2013.
Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
The following table lists, as of June 30, 2013, the number of shares of our common stock that are beneficially owned by (i) each person or entity known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock; (ii) each executive officer and director of our company; and (iii) all executive officers and directors as a group. Information relating to beneficial ownership of Common Stock by our principal shareholders and management is based upon information furnished by each person using “beneficial ownership” concepts under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security. The person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under the Securities and Exchange Commission rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which he or she may not have any pecuniary beneficial interest. Except as noted below, each person has sole voting and investment power. The percentages below are calculated based on 77,460,612 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding as of the date of this 10-K.
Name of Beneficial Owner Number of Percent of Shares of Common Stock Common Stock Beneficially Beneficially Owned Owned
Samuel Wolfe 32,500,000 42.90 %
Ralph Simpson 32,500,000 42.90 %
Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Educator Group Plans, Insurance Services Inc. d/b/a Equita Mortgage Group and its affiliates, including Senior Advisor Services, are owned and operated by Richard Wolfe and Robert Myer. Mr. Robert Wolfe is also the step-father of the co-founder of UUI, Samuel Wolfe. The Agency Agreement between Equita and UUI contains the identical agreement terms and conditions as the agency agreements in place with other Equita agents. UUI does not have or gain any competitive or monetary advantage as an agent for Equita.. The milestones for continuing the Agency Agreement require that $3,000,000 in paid annual premium are maintained within any 12 month period which is the equivalent of $1.5 million in annual revenue. Equita receives 10-15% of the any commissions paid to Unique Underwriters from the carriers. Richard Wolfe and Educator Group Plans et al, have no personal or beneficial interests in UUI other than its participation in the Equita agency program. Since Educator Group Plans is paid their override commission directly from the carriers the Company does not have any knowledge of the aggregate amount of revenue that the Company has generated that was paid to Educator Group Plans.
Director Independence
Although we are not subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or national securities association and, as a result, are not at this time required to have our board comprised of a majority of “non-independent directors”, the Company has appointed Rudolph J. Renda, as of November 2011, to serve as an independent director.
(19) |
Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services
The aggregate fees billed for the most recently completed fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows:
Year Ended | ||
June 30 2013 | June 30, 2012 | |
Audit Fees | $20,000 | $20,000 |
Audit Related Fees | $7,500 | $7,500 |
Tax Fees | $0 | $0 |
All Other Fees | $0 | $0 |
Total | $27,500 | $27,500 |
Audit Fees: The aggregate fees billed by the independent accountants for the last two fiscal years are for professional services for the audit of our annual financial statements and the review of our Form 10-Q and other services that are normally provided by the accountants in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.
Audit-Related Fees: The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review for the audit or review of our annual financial statements and the review of financial statements and are not reported under the previous item, Audit Fees.
Tax Fees: During the last two fiscal years any other fees charged by the principal accountants for tax services other than those disclosed above.
All Other Fees: During the last two fiscal years any other fees charged by the principal accountants other than those disclosed above.
Our board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by our independent auditors and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining our independent auditors’ independence.

To the Board of Directors
Unique Underwriters, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Unique Underwriters, Inc. (“the Company”) as of June 30, 2013 and 2012 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. 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 audits 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 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 Unique Underwriters, Inc. as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses, has negative working capital, and has yet to generate an internal cash flow that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 8. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty

Unique Underwriters, Inc.
Notes to audited financial statements
June 30, 2013
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Unique Underwriters, Inc. (the “Company”) is a national, independent, mortgage protection insurance sales and marketing company located in the Dallas, Texas area. The Company was incorporated in the State of Texas on July 28, 2009.
Unique Underwriters, Inc. offers the following forms of insurance sales:
Mortgage life insurance is a form of life insurance that will cover the cost of the mortgage in the event of policy holder’s death, so that his/her family doesn’t have to worry about paying it off without the aid of primary income. Life insurance can be used for a variety of purposes, such as: providing for your spouse and children, paying off a mortgage and other debts, transferring wealth or business interests, accumulating cash on a tax advantaged basis, achieving estate tax liquidity, saving money for college expenses or retirement or other life events. Disability Insurance pays the insured a monthly benefit if he/she becomes disabled, as a result of an accident or disease, and cannot perform the duties of their own job.
Funeral expense insurance is an insurance policy used to pay for funeral services and a burial when the named insured dies. Such a policy helps ease the financial burden placed on a family when a loved one dies. It is no different than a traditional life insurance policy with a small monetary value. Funeral expense insurance allows the named insured to feel safe knowing that funeral-related expenses are covered regardless of the status of their estate at the time of death.
Annuities provide tax-deferred growth, liquidity, and income options, plus a death benefit that may bypass the costs and delays of probate. An annuity could be right if: a) prefer to delay taxes to a later date; b) are already contributing all you can to your IRA or qualified plan; c) are comfortable that you won’t need extra money immediately; d) prefer a minimum guaranteed interest rate. The Company an array of products that include fixed indexed annuities that are based on the performance of an Index, which provides you with all the upside potential and none of the downside risk of the market.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements include the accounts of Unique Underwriters, Inc. under the accrual basis of accounting.
(31) |
Management’s Use of 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 the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements above reflect all of the costs of doing business.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the prior years' consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
Deferred Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of 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. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Revenue Recognition – The Company applies paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when services are realized or realizable and earned less estimated future doubtful accounts. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met:
(i) | persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, |
(ii) | the services have been rendered and all required milestones achieved, |
(iii) | the sales price is fixed or determinable, and |
(iv) | collectability is reasonably assured. |
The approval from the Company’s insurance carriers, which occurs upon receipt of our commission check and the policy, is reviewed online, and related completion of services to the client is an event that triggers revenue recognition.
No revenue is recognized prior to receipt of the commission check.
The lead sales revenue is recognized when one of our agents submits an order to rent leads and simultaneously their credit card is processed and the leads are distributed to them. The Company recognizes revenue when the agent submits an order to rent the leads for 30 days. After thirty days the leads become available for rental to another agent. Leads may be rented multiple times at decreasing rates due to the lead’s age and number of times it has been rented.
Membership revenue recognition occurs when an agent registers for one of the Company’s websites online and submits their payment information; the agent must give 30 days notice of request to cancel their membership. The Company recognizes revenue related to our various membership plans as income on a straight-line basis over the length of membership period.
The customer deposit is strictly related to Executive Membership Package. After submitting a $500 deposit, an Executive Member can request that the Company directly mail letters to new home owners and/or senior citizens to generate new direct mail response leads. The Company refunds these deposits back to Executive Members when they no longer request that the Company directly mail letters to new home owners and/or senior citizens to generate new direct mail response leads. However, the Executive Members may also apply these deposits towards the leads sale or membership fees in the future. After the Executive Member cancels their direct mail service, they have the choice to use these deposits for additional leads, request that the deposits be applied towards membership, or ask for refunds. If deposits are used for additional leads, revenue is recognized when services are realized or realizable and earned. If deposits are used for membership fees, revenue is recognized over the length of membership period. For the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company refunded $9,845 to Executive Members. For the year ended June 30, 2013, the Company did not issue any refunds to Executive Members.
(32) |
Cost of Sales - The Company’s policy is to recognize cost of sales in the same manner in conjunction with revenue recognition, when the costs are incurred. Cost of sales includes the costs directly attributable to revenue recognition and include marketing and leads generation costs, leads purchased costs and agent expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses are charged to expense as incurred.
Comprehensive Income (Loss) - The Company reports comprehensive income and its components following guidance set forth by section 220-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification which establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. There were no items of comprehensive income (loss) applicable to the Company during the periods covered in the financial statements.
Loss Per Share - Net loss per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during each period. There were no potentially dilutive shares outstanding as of June 30, 2013 and 2012.
Risk and Uncertainties - The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the service industry, including, but not limited to, litigation, development of new technological innovations and dependence on key personnel.
Stock-Based Compensation- The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method following the guidance set forth in section 718-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosure about Stock-Based Compensation. This section requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award- the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.
Fair Value for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities- The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:
Level 1 | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. |
Level 2 | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. |
Level 3 | Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, rent deposit, accounts payable, customer deposits and notes payable approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or a non-recurring basis, consequently, the Company did not have any fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value at June 30, 2013 and 2012 nor gains or losses are reported in the statements of operations that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date for the for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on its consolidated financial condition or the consolidated results of its operations.
In May 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 changes the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements to ensure consistency between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 also expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. This new guidance is to be applied prospectively. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this standard will not materially expand its financial statement note disclosures.
In June 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (ASC Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”), which amends current comprehensive income guidance. This accounting update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of shareholders’ equity. Instead, the Company must report comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income which contains two sections, net income and other comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 will be effective for public companies during the interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company is reviewing ASU 2011-05 to ascertain its impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows as it only requires a change in the format of the current presentation.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment”, which allows, but does not require, an entity when performing its annual goodwill impairment test the option to first do an initial assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount for purposes of determining whether it is even necessary to perform the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. Accordingly, based on the option created in ASU 2011-08, the calculation of a reporting unit’s fair value is not required unless, as a result of the qualitative assessment, it is more likely than not that fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If it is less, the quantitative impairment test is then required. ASU 2011-08 also provides for new qualitative indicators to replace those currently used. Prior to ASU 2011-08, entities were required to test goodwill for impairment on at least an annual basis, by first comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the second step of the test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. ASU 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2011-08 during the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 did not impact the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
In December 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-11, “Balance Sheet - Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” to enhance disclosure requirements relating to the offsetting of assets and liabilities on an entity's balance sheet. The update requires enhanced disclosures regarding assets and liabilities that are presented net or gross in the statement of financial position when the right of offset exists, or that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement. The new disclosure requirements relating to this update are retrospective and effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The update only requires additional disclosures, as such, the Company does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment”. The guidance allows companies to perform a “qualitative” assessment to determine whether further impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets is necessary, similar in approach to the goodwill impairment test.
ASU 2012-02 allows companies the option to first assess qualitatively whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, before determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. An entity is not required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. Companies can choose to perform the qualitative assessment on none, some, or all of its indefinite-lived intangible assets or choose to only perform the quantitative impairment test for any indefinite-lived intangible in any period.
ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the guidance and the impact ASU 2012-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-03, “Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections: Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 114. , Technical Amendments Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-9250, and Corrections Related to FASB Accounting Standards Update 2010-22 (SEC Update)” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-03. This update amends various SEC paragraphs pursuant to the issuance of SAB No. 114. The adoption of ASU 2012-03 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In October 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2012-04, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04. The amendments in this update cover a wide range of Topics in the Accounting Standards Codification.
These amendments include technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification and conforming amendments related to fair value measurements. The amendments in this update will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2012-04 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 2 INCOME TAXES
At June 30, 2013, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $1,052,000 that expire in various years through the year 2033.
Due to operating losses, there is no provision for current federal or state income taxes for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amount used for federal and state income tax purposes.
The Company’s deferred tax asset at June 30, 2013 consists of net operating loss carry forwards calculated using federal and state effective tax rates equating to approximately $368,000 less a valuation allowance in the amount of approximately $368,000. Because of the Company’s lack of earnings history, the deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance increased by approximately $17,000 and $98,000 for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The Company’s total deferred tax asset as of June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012 are as follows:
2013 | 2012 | |||||||
Total deferred tax asset | $ | 368,000 | $ | 351,000 | ||||
Valuation allowance | (368,000 | ) | (351,000 | ) | ||||
Net deferred tax asset | $ | — | $ | — |
The reconciliation of income taxes computed at the federal and state statutory income tax rate to total income taxes for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:
2013 | 2012 | |||||||
Income tax computed at the federal statutory rate | 35% | 35% | ||||||

NOTE 8 GOING CONCERN AND UNCERTAINTY
The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations since inception and has a negative working capital. In addition, the Company has yet to generate an internal cash flow from its business operations. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Management’s plans with regard to these matters encompass the following actions: 1) obtain funding from new investors to alleviate the Company’s working deficiency, and 2) implement a plan to generate sales. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon its ability to resolve it liquidity problems and increase profitability in its current business operations. However, the outcome of management’s plans cannot be ascertained with any degree of certainty. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these risks and uncertainties.
