PART I

ITEM 1.     BUSINESS

General

     We were incorporated in the state of Nevada on June 27, 2006. We have started operations. We have not generated revenues from operations, but must be considered a start-up business. Our statutory registered agent in Nevada is The Corporation Trust Company of Nevada, 6100 Neil Road, Suite 500, Reno, Nevada 89511. Our administrative office is located at 60 Mt. Kidd Point S.E., Calgary, Alberta, T2Z 3C5. Our telephone number is (403) 831-2202.

     We have no plans to change our planned business activities or to combine with another business, and we are not aware of any events or circumstances that might cause these plans to change.

     We started our operations following our successful offering.

     We have not conducted any market research into the likelihood of success of our operations.

Background

     The new home market in Calgary and area was strong for many years and 2006 proved to be a banner year, breaking all sales records. 2007 started out strong and started to slow unexpectedly about the middle of the year. 2008 started out slow and the market continues to drop. Inventory is rising and prices are dipping. The time for a small speculative homebuilder entering the market is not as attractive as it was when we started this venture.

Services

     We are catering to potential buyers in Calgary and area who are seeking to secure a new home without the hassle of having to go through the entire building process. We are not pre-selling the homes, but are marketing them once they are under construction or near completion. The timing of the sale will allow us to more accurately predict the cost of building the home and therefore allow us to hopefully build in an appropriate profit margin. The upside to the purchaser is that they secure a new home without having to go through the hassle of the building process and a shorter and more desirable possession date. Current possession dates in the Calgary area exceed 12 plus months from purchase to possession. The incredibly long wait is a strong reason for many potential purchasers to shy away from the new home market in favor of resale.

The Process

     The first step of the process each time we start a home will include identifying and securing a suitable lot. Once the lot has been obtained, it will be determined what type of home plan would be most desirable for the area and for potential purchasers within the community. Once the selection is made, appropriate blueprints will be drawn up and specifications and choices of building materials and finishing will be finalized. At this point, a complete initial estimate will be completed and bank financing will be set up to cover any draws that may be required during construction.

-4-


     Upon successfully obtaining bank financing, application for approval of initial blueprints and plot plan will be sent to the developer. Upon approval the process of tendering out construction will begin and an approximate timeline will be established. Once all the appropriate information is in place and contracts are in order, construction on the home will begin.

     We will act as the general contractor during the building of the home. We will be responsible for retaining all subcontractors, such as plumbing, electrical, mechanical, masons, carpenters, and landscaping. We will be responsible for obtaining all permits and assuring that the construction of the home complies with local building regulations.

     Marketing of the home will not commence until the home is completely framed at the earliest. Depending on the strength of the real estate market and potential rising costs, marketing of the home may be put off until approximately 60 days before completion. Assuming a strong market, the delay of marketing the home could turn into increased profit for the company.

     As mentioned earlier, the marketing of the home will primarily be handled through the use of the real estate MLS system. Signage on the lot will also be well displayed in an attempt to affect a direct sale with a client and potentially minimize realtor costs. Funds being available we will make greater efforts to reach that client directly with print advertising before listing on MLS and having to incur the cost of paying the selling Realtor.

Procedure for Doing Business with Us

          1.     

The client will either see the home for sale through a realtor, find it on the internet through the Calgary Real Estate Board website, will phone us directly off of signage at the site or though advertising in the print media.

 
2.     

If the client has seen the home through a realtor, then any questions via the realtor will be answered and offers will be written with the realtor and presented to the company.

 
3.     

If the client calls off of signage or advertising directly to the company, Ian Quinn, President, will show the property and write any contracts that are required.

 
4.     

Both the company and the client will have to obtain a lawyer to represent them on the completion of the transaction and possession of the new home.

 
5.     

Upon possession of the home, the purchaser will receive a one-year comprehensive warranty from Charmed Homes.

 

Marketing Strategy

     We intend to primarily market the homes through the use of the Calgary MLS system. Ian Quinn our president, will list the homes and he will not charge for this service. If a realtor other than Ian Quinn introduces the property to the home, the selling portion of the commission will have to be paid to that realtor.

     Signage will also be used as a focal point of our marketing. We will use both MLS signage featuring Ian Quinn’s standard Remax signs and Charmed Homes' specific signs. A logo, color scheme, etc. will be developed for use in the signage and all print advertising.

-5-


     Depending on the amount of money available for marketing, it would be ideal to also include a number of other options in our marketing program. A few of those would include:

          1.     

Flyers mailed directly to Realtors focusing on the area where homes are for sale

 
2.     

Flyers targeted to the New Homes Salespeople working in the area for other builders offering them a commission if they introduce a buyer. (Alberta is unique in that New Home Salespeople are not Realtors.)

 
3.     

Ads run in a variety of publications including mainstream newspapers and publications dealing specifically with real estate for sale in Calgary and area.

     Informal marketing techniques will also be employed such as joining organizations and attending industry related conference.

Revenue

     Initially, revenue will be generated from our ability to sell our ready constructed homes in a timely and profitable manner.

     We intend to maintain a database of clients and realtors we are in contact with to continuously build and expand our marketing program.

     There is no assurance that we will be able to interest buyers in purchasing our homes at an acceptable profit margin.

Competition

     We face intense competition from numerous established homebuilders, big and small, which places us at a competitive disadvantage since they are more established within their network. Many of these builders have been in business for years and have elevated name recognition. Many of these competitors will also have greater customer bases, operating histories, financial, technical, personnel and other resources than we do at this time. There can be no assurances we will be able to break into this industry.

     The home building business, as it exists now, is highly competitive and is characterized by a wide assortment of builders.

     Companies compete for the new home business based on referral business such as personal contacts, quality and scope of services offered, industry reputation, location, and cost.

     We do not currently have a strong competitive position in the home building business. We will have to develop our competitive position. It will be attempted primarily through the promotion and exposure to local realtors and indirectly their clients.

Government Regulation

     We are not currently subject to direct federal, state, provincial, or local regulation other than regulations applicable to businesses generally or directly applicable to electronic commerce. However, the Internet is increasingly popular. As a result, it is possible that a number of laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the Internet. These laws may cover issues such as user privacy, freedom of expression, pricing, content and quality of products and services, taxation, advertising, intellectual property rights and information security. Furthermore, the growth of electronic commerce may prompt calls for more stringent consumer protection laws. Several states have proposed legislation to limit the uses of personal user information gathered online or require online services to establish privacy policies. The Federal Trade Commission has also initiated action against at least one online service regarding the manner in which personal information is collected from users and provided to third parties. We will not provide personal information regarding our users to third parties. However, the adoption of such consumer protection laws could create uncertainty in Web usage and reduce the demand for our products.

     We are not certain how business may be affected by the application of existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, copyrights, encryption and other intellectual property issues, taxation, libel, obscenity and export or import matters. The vast majority of such laws were adopted prior to the advent of the Internet. As a result, they do not contemplate or address the unique issues of the Internet and related technologies. Changes in laws intended to address such issues could create uncertainty in the Internet market place. Such uncertainty could reduce demand for services or increase the cost of doing business as a result of litigation costs or increased service delivery costs. In addition, because our services are available over the Internet in multiple states and foreign countries, other jurisdictions may claim that we are required to qualify to do business in each such state or foreign country. We are qualified to do business only in Nevada. Our failure to qualify in a jurisdiction where it is required to do so could subject it to taxes and penalties. It could also hamper our ability to enforce contracts in such jurisdictions. The application of laws or regulations from jurisdictions whose laws currently apply to our business could have a material adverse affect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Insurance

We do not maintain any insurance relating to our business or operations.

Employees

     We are a start-up stage company and currently have no employees, other than our officers and directors. We intend to hire additional employees on an as needed basis.

Our Office

     Our office is located at 60 Mt Kidd Point S.E., Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2Z 3C5. Our phone number is (403) 831-2202.

     As of the date of this report, we have yet to generate any revenues from our business operations.

     We issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. This was accounted for as a sale of common stock. In August, 2007 we also issued 1,690,000 shares of common stock to 54 individuals. This was also accounted for as a sale of common stock.

Dividends

     We have not declared any cash dividends, nor do we intend to do so. We are not subject to any legal restrictions respecting the payment of dividends, except that they may not be paid to render us insolvent. Dividend policy will be based on our cash resources and needs and it is anticipated that all available cash will be needed for our operations in the foreseeable future.

Section Rule 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

     Our shares are covered by section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6, and 15g-9 promulgated thereunder. They impose additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses).

     Rule 15g-1 exempts a number of specific transactions from the scope of the penny stock rules.

     Rule 15g-2 declares unlawful broker/dealer transactions in penny stocks unless the broker/dealer has first provided to the customer a standardized disclosure document.

     Rule 15g-3 provides that it is unlawful for a broker/dealer to engage in a penny stock transaction unless the broker/dealer first discloses and subsequently confirms to the customer current quotation prices or similar market information concerning the penny stock in question.

     Rule 15g-4 prohibits broker/dealers from completing penny stock transactions for a customer unless the broker/dealer first discloses to the customer the amount of compensation or other remuneration received as a result of the penny stock transaction.

     Rule 15g-5 requires that a broker/dealer executing a penny stock transaction, other than one exempt under Rule 15g-1, disclose to its customer, at the time of or prior to the transaction, information about the sales persons compensation.

-9-


     Rule 15g-6 requires broker/dealers selling penny stocks to provide their customers with monthly account statements.

     Rule 15g-9 requires broker/dealers to approve the transaction for the customer’s account; obtain a written agreement from the customer setting forth the identity and quantity of the stock being purchased; obtain from the customer information regarding his investment experience; make a determination that the investment is suitable for the investor; deliver to the customer a written statement for the basis for the suitability determination; notify the customer of his rights and remedies in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions; and, the FINRA's toll free telephone number and the central number of the North American Administrators Association, for information on the disciplinary history of broker/dealers and their associated persons.

     The application of the penny stock rules may affect your ability to resell your shares.

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 thereunder.

Use of Proceeds

     On April 26, 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared our Form SB-2 Registration Statement effective (File number 333-142266) permitting us to offer up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.10 per share. On July 5, 2007 we raised $169,000 of working capital from proceeds from a private placement of 1,690,000 common shares at $0.10 per share. Our total issued and outstanding shares are now 6,690,000. The proceeds paid for $20,656 in professional fees, $146,800 for a home building costs and $1,544 was for general office costs.


ITEM 6.    
SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

     We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.


ITEM 7.
      MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
 CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. 

     This section of the report includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.

     We are a start-up stage corporation and are just starting our operations. At this point we have started operations, but have not realized any revenues from our business operations.

-10-


     Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that our auditors believe there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not purchased any contracts or generated any revenues from the development. We must raise cash from operations. Our only other source for cash at this time is investments by others in our company. We must raise cash to implement our project and begin our operations. Even with the money we raised from our public offering, we do not know how long the money will last, however, we do believe it will last twelve months. Operations are now under way since we raised the money from our public offering.

     To meet our need for cash, we have raised money through the public offering. We cannot guarantee that once we begin operations we will stay in business after operations have commenced. Further, if we are unable to attract enough clients to utilize our services, we may quickly use up the proceeds from the minimum amount of money from our public offering and will need to find alternative sources, like a second public offering, a private placement of securities, or loans from our officers or others in order for us to maintain our operations. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash, other than through our public offering.

     If we need additional cash and cannot raise it, we will either have to suspend operations until we do raise the cash, or cease operations entirely. We believe the amount raised from our public offering will last a year but with limited funds available to develop growth strategy. If at some point we need more money, we will have to revert to obtaining additional money as described in this paragraph. Other than as described in this paragraph, we have no other financing plans.

Operation to Date

     With the success of our offering, we were able to begin our operations. We established our office and acquired the equipment we needed to begin. We did not hire any employees up to this point and our officers and directors are handling the administrative duties.

     We located a suitable piece of land in order to start our first project. The lot was acquired in the community of Lake Chaparral.

     Once the land was located, we chose a home plan which best suited the property. The blueprints were drawn up, specifications outlined and decisions on materials made.

     Initial financing through the bank was avoided by obtaining an interest free loan of $25,000 from our President Ian Quinn. The plot plan and blueprint were submitted to the developer of the subdivision and approvals were received.

     The process of tendering out for construction was avoided by working with Shane Homes, who have all the suppliers and trades people in place. Construction of the home was completed at the end of December, approximately three months earlier than expected.

     The home has been listed since that time. Listing was delayed until the home was complete. It was decided that with the slowing in the market it would be best to market the home once it was showing its best.

-11-


     With the significantly slower market in Calgary and area, the house has not sold to date. Marketing is underway and we are optimistic with the traditionally stronger spring market we will realize a sale soon. In summary, we are in full operation.

Future Operations

     With our initial fundraising in place, we believe we can satisfy our cash requirements during the next 12 months. We will not be conducting any product research or development. We expect to sell our first property soon. We do not intend to hire additional employees in the foreseeable future.

     Now that the house is finished, it is listed and marketing is underway. Marketing is an ongoing matter that will continue during the life of our operations. But we also believe that we will see results from our marketing campaign, resulting in the sale of our first home, Our original expectation was that the house would be sold within 60 days of listing, but that has changed with the significant slowdown in the market. We have been on the market now for approximately 3 months and are anticipating a sale within the next three months and the expected pick up with the spring market. The expectation of results is based upon our officers’ and directors’ previous and current work experiences, contacts as well as their life experiences.

     We have limited finances, so we must sell our first home and obtain the funds prior to pursuing the purchase of our second home site to start our next project. Once we are successful in selling the first home, we will immediately proceed in acquiring our next location.

     We expect to acquire our next lot within 30 days of having the funds in place.

     Once the lot is acquired, we will determine which type of home plan will best suit the property. Blueprints will be drawn up, specifications outlined and decisions on building materials made. Estimation of time needed for this portion of the process is approximately 45 days.

     The next step will include submitting the initial plot plan and blueprint to the developer of the area we have chosen for approval and revision as recommended. Estimated time is approximately 30 days.

     The process of retaining a general contractor will take approximately 30 days. The completion of this step will allow a firm timeline for the construction of the home to be put in place.

     Actual construction of the home, from start to finish, should take approximately 180 days. Specific timing of the marketing of this home will not be set until the home is at least framed, approximately 60 days into the building process. Depending marketing conditions at that time, marketing will be commenced or delayed to maximize potential sale price.

     In summary, we should be in a position to realize a profit from selling our second home, within approximately 10 months of obtaining a lot.

     Initial up front costs for financing the construction of the new home will be approximately $125,000. Available funds plus proceeds from the sale of the first home, will allow us sufficient funds to cover these costs. Additional financing will be obtained as needed from either a bank loan or from a loan from our President, Ian Quinn.

-12-


Limited operating history; need for additional capital

     There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are in start-up stage operations and have not generated any revenues. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services and products.

     We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.

Results of operations

From Inception on June 27, 2006 to January 31, 2008

     During this period we incorporated the company, hired the attorney, and hired the auditor for the preparation of our registration statement. We have also completed building our first home which is presently listed on MLS to be sold. Our loss since inception is $69,455 of which $49,783 is for professional fees; $9,500 for donated rent and services; $3,096 is for filing fees and general office costs; and $7,076 is for foreign exchange loss. We have started our proposed business operations and will continue to identify building lot/lots to purchase. We will continue to assess the real estate market in the Calgary area.

     Since inception, we issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock to our officers and directors for cash proceeds of $5,000. On August, 2007, we completed our public offering by selling 1,690,000 share of common stock and raising $169,000.

Liquidity and capital resources

     As of the date of this report, we have yet to generate any revenues from our business operations.

     We issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. This was accounted for as a sale of common stock. In August, 2007, we also issued 1,690,000 shares of common stock to 54 individuals. This was also accounted for as a sale of common stock.

     As of January 31, 2008, our total assets were $512,592 comprised of $22,748 in cash and $489,844 in real estate property and our total liabilities were $398,547, comprised of a loan of $395,751 from our president, Ian Quinn, and accounts payable of $2,796. Ian Quinn, our president, loaned us the sum of $395,751 to pay for legal, accounting, home building and other expenses. The amount due to Mr. Quinn will be repaid from the proceeds of our public offering, or by revenues generated from our operations. The loan is unsecured, without interest and due on demand. The agreement with Mr. Quinn is oral. There is no written documentation evidencing the same.

     In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133”. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 161 on its financial statements.

     In December 2007, the FASB issued No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No.51” SFAS No. 160 requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non controlling interest. SFAS No. 160 also requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SAFAS No. 160 also requires expanded disclosures in the consolidated financial statements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent’s owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 160 on its financial statements.

     In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including and amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its financial statements.

     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”. This statement requires employers to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for employers with publicly traded equity securities as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.

     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ending February 28, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 on its financial statements.

     In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 109” (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a two-step method of first evaluating whether a tax position has met a more likely than not recognition threshold and second, measuring that tax position to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 provides guidance on the presentation of such positions within a classified statement of financial position as well as on derecognition, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Directors and Stockholders
Charmed Homes Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Charmed Homes Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of January 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders' deficit for the year ended January 31, 2008, the period from June 27, 2006 (Date of Inception) to January 31, 2007, and accumulated from June 27, 2006 (Date of Inception) to January 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes 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 internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Charmed Homes Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of January 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended January 31, 2008, the period from June 27, 2006 (Date of Inception) to January 31, 2007, and accumulated from June 27, 2006 (Date of Inception) to January 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has not generated any revenues and has incurred operating losses since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Charmed Homes Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
January 31, 2008

1.     

Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business

 
 

Charmed Homes Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 27, 2006. The Company is a Development Stage Company, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No.7 “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”. The Company’s principal business is the building of homes in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

 
 

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has never generated revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at January31,2008, the Company has never generated any revenues and has accumulated losses of $69,455. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 
 

The Company filed an SB-2 Registration Statement (“SB-2) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission which was declared effective on April 26, 2007. Pursuant to the SB-2, the Company is authorized to issue up to 2,000,000 common shares at a price of $0.10 per share for cash proceeds of $200,000. As at January 31, 2008, the Company has issued 1,690,000 common shares for gross proceeds of $169,000.

 
2.     

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 
  a)     

Basis of Presentation

 
   

These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is January 31.

 
  b)     

Use of Estimates

 
   

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

 
   

The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to donated expenses, valuation of inventory and deferred income tax asset valuations. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

 
  c)     

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 
   

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (“SFAS 128”). SFAS 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive.

(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
January 31, 2008

2.     

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 
  d)     

Comprehensive Loss

 
   

SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at January 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.

 
  e)     

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 
   

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

 
  f)     

Inventory

 
   

Inventory consists of building products and work in progress with respect to the construction of a house for purposes of resale, and is recorded on a first in, first out basis.

 
  g)     

Financial Instruments

 
   

Financial instruments, which include cash, accounts payable and amounts due to a related party, were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The Company’s operations are in Canada, which results in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The financial risk is the risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.

 
  h)     

Income Taxes

 
   

Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes” as of its inception. Pursuant to SFAS No. 109 the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Potential benefit of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.

 
  i)     

Foreign Currency Translation

 
   

The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance with SFAS No. 52 “Foreign Currency Translation”, using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The Company has not, to the date of these financials statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

 
  j)     

Revenue Recognition

 
   

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SFAS No. 66, ”Accounting for Sales of Real Estate”. The sale of constructed homes will be recognized in full once the real estate property has sold, the profit is determinable, collectibility of the sales price is reasonably assured, and the earnings process is virtually complete whereas the Company is no longer further obligated to perform significant activities after the sale to earn the profit.

 
  k)     

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 
   

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133”. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 161 on its financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

 
   

In December 2007, the FASB issued No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No.51” SFAS No. 160 requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non controlling interest. SFAS No. 160 also requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SAFAS No. 160 also requires expanded disclosures in the consolidated financial statements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent’s owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 160 on its financial statements.

 
   

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board “(FASB)” issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including and amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 159 on its financial statements, and the adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 
   

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 157 on its financial statements, and the adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 
  l)     

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 
   

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” SAB No. 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. SAB No. 108 is effective for periods ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement had no material effect on the Company’s reported financial position or results of operations.

 
   

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158 “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132 (R)” SFAS No. 158 requires employers to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. SFAS No. 158 also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for employers with publicly traded equity securities as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement had no material effect on the Company’s reported financial position or results of operations.

The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Pursuant to SFAS 109 the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefit of net operating losses have not been recognized in the financial statements because the Company cannot be assured that it is more likely than not that it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.

ITEM 9.     CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

     There have been no disagreements on accounting and financial disclosures from the inception of our company through the date of this Form 10-K. Our financial statements for the period from inception to January 31, 2008, included in this report have been audited by Manning Elliott LLC, Chartered Accountants, 701 West Georgia Street, Suite 1400, Vancouver, British Columbia V7Y 1C6, as set forth in this annual report.


ITEM 9A.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

     We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We conducted an evaluation (the “Evaluation”), under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (“Disclosure Controls”) as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on this Evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our Disclosure Controls were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Controls

     We have also evaluated our internal controls for financial reporting, and there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their last evaluation.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

     Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a 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 or board override of the control.

 

-26-


     The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all 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 not be detected.

CEO and CFO Certifications

     Appearing immediately following the Signatures section of this report there are Certifications of the CEO and the CFO. The Certifications are required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Section 302 Certifications). This Item of this report, which you are currently reading is the information concerning the Evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certifications and this information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

     Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

     Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

     Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention of overriding controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

     Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2008. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of January 31, 2008, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.

-27-


     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.

Audit Committee and Charter

     We have a separately-designated audit committee of the board. Audit committee functions are performed by our board of directors. None of our directors are deemed independent. All directors also hold positions as our officers. Our audit committee is responsible for: (1) selection and oversight of our independent accountant; (2) establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal controls and auditing matters; (3) establishing procedures for the confidential, anonymous submission by our employees of concerns regarding accounting and auditing matters; (4) engaging outside advisors; and, (5) funding for the outside auditory and any outside advisors engagement by the audit committee.

Indemnification

We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney's fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.

 

 

-31-


     Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Nevada law, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
