Introduction
Universal Capital Management, Inc. (the Company, we, or our) is a publicly traded company. Our company was originally engaged in the business of furnishing capital and making available managerial assistance to emerging companies with high growth potential that do not have ready access to capital through conventional financial channels. We referred to the companies that we invested in and provided management services for as portfolio companies. We had two types of portfolio companies, portfolio holding company and active portfolio company.
In exchange for our cash investment in a portfolio company, we received securities issued by the portfolio company, typically common stock or warrants to purchase common stock. Upon providing management services to our portfolio company, we received securities issued by the portfolio company, typically common stock or warrants to purchase common stock.
Our investment objective was to generate capital appreciation, primarily through investments in the equity securities, or warrants to purchase the equity securities, of our portfolio companies. Our business model provided our stockholders with the ability to retain the liquidity of a publicly traded stock while sharing in the possible benefits, if any, as well as the risks, of investing in small, early-stage companies.
1
Effective November 1, 2011, our business plan evolved towards serving as a direct response management and marketing company that provides management, accounting and marketing services to our clients. Our Company identifies, advises in development and markets consumer products. Our strategy employs three primary channels: Direct Response Television (Infomercials), Television Shopping Networks and Retail Outlets. We seek to assist and enable entrepreneurs to introduce products to the consumer market. Entrepreneurs can leverage our experience and valuable business contacts in functions such as product selection, marketing development, media buying and direct response television production. Inventors and entrepreneurs submit products or business concepts for our input and advice. We generate revenues from two primary sources (i) management of the entire business cycle of the consumer product and (ii) sales of consumer products, for which we receive a share of net profits of consumer products sold. We do not manufacture any of our products. As of the date of this filing we have generated limited revenues and do not rely on any principal products. While the Company has received limited revenues from management services, none of these fees have generated material revenues. We currently do not sell any internally developed or Company owned products.
We operate as a direct response management and marketing organization. The direct response marketing industry is a large, fragmented and competitive industry. Direct response incorporates various marketing formats including direct mail, telemarketing, television, radio, newspaper, magazines and others. Typically direct response television programs incorporate an infomercial in either short form (30 seconds to 5 minutes) or long form (28.5 minutes) direct response programs. The formats discuss and demonstrate products and provide a toll-free number or website for viewers to purchase. We have been able to establish business relationships with key people/companies in the industry (such as QVC and Rite Aid) that allows us to act as a management team for entrepreneurs and inventors. As a management team, we assume the day to day responsibilities of bringing a product to market from the manufacturing to the end sale to the consumer. We believe the principal competitive factors include authenticity of information, unique content and distinctiveness and quality of product, brand recognition and price.
Organization
Our Company was formed as a Delaware corporation on August 16, 2004. Our offices are located at 2601 Annand Drive, Suite 16, Wilmington, DE 19808. Our Internet website is located at: www.unicapman.com.
Our Company was formed in 2004 as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company that had originally elected to be treated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act). In early 2010, we launched our first product under our new venture into the direct response. Upon the launch of this new venture, we subsequently ceased all of our operations as a business development company late in 2010, with the last of our management contracts expiring in December 2010.
On November 1, 2011, our Company filed Form N-54C notification of withdrawal of election to be regulated as a BDC. The withdrawal was effective upon receipt of the Form N-54C notification by the SEC, and our Company is no longer subject to regulation as a BDC. We have no intention to invest in securities or meet the definition of an investment company, as described in Section 3 of the 1940 Act. Our Company will be managed so it will not be deemed to be an investment company as defined in the 1940 Act. Our company will maintain its registration under the 1934 Act and we will continue to be obligated to file regular reports as required thereunder.
Management Services
Since early 2010, our Company has provided management services to Innovation Industries. Innovation Industries (Innovation) is headquartered in Chester, Pennsylvania. The companys Founder and President, William Wilkinson, is the largest inventor of fitness/exercise equipment and holds over 200 domestic and foreign patents. Innovation has an impressive history of developing and marketing exceptional consumer products and is a leader in fitness and exercise equipment products.
Mr. Wilkinson is the inventor of Step aerobics and co-founder of Step Reebok, which started the modern fitness movement. He was also the lead developer of products for NordicTrack and invented Total Body/dual action exercise machines popularized in the early 90s. In addition, he co-developed, with National Media of Philadelphia, PA, the Bruce Jenner line of fitness equipment which included the PowerWalk Plus treadmill. Wills latest blockbusters, Twist and Tone TM and the GetAGrip®, are first-to-market game changers that will redefine how we improve strength in hands, wrists, and forearms with virtually no competition in todays marketplace.
2
The Twist and ToneTM was launched in July 2010 through an online marketing campaign and infomercials. The Twist and Tone TM was re-worked and re-tested during the first part of 2011 and was then re-launched in the fall of 2011.The Twist and Tone has reached a higher level of success when the product was advertised in the TV channel QVC and also sold in several Rite Aid stores countrywide.
In the fall 2011, a medical kit that includes the GetAGripPro® was introduced to the medical society as a therapeutic and rehabilitation tool for therapists and their clients. The medical kit is currently being advertised directly to hospitals and other medical centers.
Competition
Direct Response
We face significant competition within each merchandise category. The markets for our merchandise are highly competitive, and the recent growth in these markets has encouraged the entry of many new competitors as well as increased competition from established companies. There are no significant barriers to entry in the direct marketing industry. Our competitors include large and small retailers, other direct marketing companies, including some with direct response television programs. Furthermore, established brick-and-mortar retail competitors have recently made efforts to sell products through direct response marketing methods. Many of these competitors are larger and have significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources. Increased direct response marketing programs may adversely affect response rates to our direct response television marketing efforts, which would directly affect margins. Our failure to compete successfully would materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Employees and Management Fees
Our Company is internally managed and, although it does not pay fees to an advisor, it pays salaries to officers and employees and as of April 30, 2013, our Company employed two full-time employees.
Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
Investing in our common stock involves significant risks relating to our business and investment objective. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below before you purchase any of our common stock. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones we face. Unknown additional risks and uncertainties, or ones that we currently consider immaterial, may also impair our business. If any of these risks or uncertainties materializes, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In this event, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Company.
Our cash expenses are large relative to our cash resources and cash flow.
As of April 30, 2013, we had cash resources of $14,853 and for the year ended April 30, 2013, we had revenues of $53,916, all of which were received in the form of management services provided to affiliate clients. Consequently, we have been required either to sell new shares of our common stock or available-for-sale marketable equity securities to raise the cash necessary to pay ongoing expenses and to make new investments and this could lead to continuing dilution in the interest of existing Company stockholders. Moreover, we cannot assure you the launch of any products will be successful and provide the necessary revenues to sustain the business.
We have previously had and could have future losses, deficits and deficiencies in liquidity, which could impair our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our independent registered public accounting firm has indicated that certain factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and these factors are discussed in Note 1 to our audited financial statements. Since its inception, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has been dependent on existing stockholders, new investors and the sale of available-for-sale marketable equity securities to provide the cash resources to sustain its operations.
3
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $1,020,653 for the year ended April 30, 2013. Additionally, at April 30, 2013, the Company has minimal cash and has a working capital deficit of $1,108,914, an accumulated deficiency of $10,111,654 and a stockholders deficiency of $1,107,814, which could have a material impact on the Companys financial condition and operations. As a result of the significant working capital deficit at April 30, 2013, the Company does not have sufficient cash resources or current assets to pay its obligations.
This is a significant risk to our business and stockholders and results in:
· | making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations; |
· | impeding us from obtaining additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes; and |
· | making us more vulnerable to a downturn in our business and limit our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our business. |
The time required for us to become profitable is highly uncertain, and we cannot assure you that we will achieve or sustain profitability or generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet our planned capital expenditures, working capital and debt service requirements. If required, our ability to obtain additional financing from other sources also depends on many factors beyond our control, including the state of the capital markets and the prospects for our business. The necessary additional financing may not be available to us or may be available only on terms that would result in further dilution to the current owners of our common stock.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. In view of the matters discussed above, recoverability of any asset amounts shown in the accompanying financial statements is dependent upon the Companys ability to achieve a level of profitability. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Since inception, the Company has financed its activities from the sale of equity securities and the sale of available-for-sale marketable equity securities. The Company intends on financing its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of available-for-sale marketable equity securities, until such time that funds provided by operations, if ever, are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
There is generally no public market for the equity securities that we continue to hold.
We value all of the private equity securities in our portfolio at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors pursuant to valuation procedures established by the Board of Directors. As a result, determining fair value requires that judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment pursuant to specified valuation principles and processes. We value each individual investment on a quarterly basis and record unrealized depreciation for an investment that we believe has become impaired. Conversely, we must record unrealized appreciation if we believe that our securities have appreciated in value. Our valuations, although stated as a precise number, are necessarily within a range of values that vary depending on the significance attributed to the various factors being considered.
We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of warrants held in our portfolio. Option pricing models, including the Black-Scholes model, require the use of subjective input assumptions, including expected volatility, expected life, expected dividend rate, and expected risk-free rate of return. In the Black-Scholes model, variations in the expected volatility or expected term assumptions have a significant impact on fair value. Because the securities underlying the warrants in our portfolio are not publicly traded, many of the required input assumptions are more difficult to estimate than they would be if a public market for the underlying securities existed.
Without a readily ascertainable market value and because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the fair value that we assign to our investments may differ from the values that would have been used had an efficient market existed for the investments, and the difference could be material. Any changes in fair value are recorded in our consolidated statements of operations as a change in the "Net (decrease) increase in unrealized appreciation on investments."
4
We expect to continue to experience material headwinds in our retail penetration venture.
We are subject to the risks arising from adverse changes in general economic market conditions or any failure of the U.S. economy to recover from its recent recession. The U.S. economy remains extremely sluggish as it seeks to recover from a severe recession. The U.S. economy continues to suffer from market volatility, difficulties in the financial services sector, tight credit markets, softness in the housing markets, concerns of inflation, reduced corporate profits and capital spending, significant job losses, reduced consumer spending, and continuing economic uncertainties. The uncertainty about future economic conditions could negatively impact our current and prospective customers, including those in the direct response markets, adversely impact our expenses and ability to obtain financing of our operations, cause delays or other problems with key suppliers and increase the risk of counterparty failures. We cannot predict the timing, strength or duration of this severe global economic downturn or subsequent recovery. Consumer spending in the United States has been, and is expected to continue to be, negatively affected by these economic trends which, in turn, will negatively impact our results of operations. Furthermore, the uncertainly about future economic conditions could negatively affect our ability to obtain financing, which we will require to fund our operations in the event we do not increase our revenues.
The value of our investments is subject to high volatility.
Our company possesses shares of stock which are not diverse, and therefore may be more vulnerable to events affecting a single sector or industry and therefore our investments are subject to greater volatility. At April 30, 2013, 100% of the Company's asset value consists of available-for-sale marketable equity securities consisting of the common stock of one company. The concentration of our portfolio in any one issuer or industry would subject us to a greater degree of risk with respect to the failure of one or a few issuers or with respect to economic downturns in such industry than would be the case with a more diversified portfolio.
Our operations are subject to the general risks of the direct response television industry including, but not limited to product liability claims, which could exceed our insurance coverage.
Our operations could be impacted by both genuine and fictitious claims regarding products we market. Although primarily all of the consumer products we market are not our property, we could potentially suffer losses from a significant product liability judgment against it. A significant product liability judgment could also result in a loss of consumer confidence in our products and furthermore an actual or perceived loss of value of our brand, materially impacting consumer demand. Although Innovation Industries carries a limited amount of product liability insurance, the amount of liability from product liability claims may exceed the amount of any insurance proceeds received by Innovation Industries.
Our business is subject to a variety of laws, rules and regulations that could subject us to claims or other harm to our business.
Government regulation of direct response, Internet and e-commerce is evolving and unfavorable changes could substantially harm our business and results of operations. We are subject to a variety of laws, including the Mail or Telephone Order Merchandise Rule and related regulations of the Federal Trade Commission. These regulations prohibit unfair methods of competition and unfair or deceptive acts or practices in connection with mail and telephone order sales and require sellers of mail and telephone order merchandise to conform to certain rules of conduct with respect to shipping dates and shipping delays. We are also subject to regulations of the U.S. Postal Service and various state and local consumer protection agencies relating to matters such as advertising, order solicitation, shipment deadlines and customer refunds and returns. In addition, imported merchandise is subject to import and customs duties and, in some cases, import quotas. The failure to comply with any of these laws, rules or regulations may subject us to consumer claims or result in delays in marketing products or changes in product marketing, which may reduce our revenues, increase our expenses and adversely affect our profitability.
5
We operate in a heavily regulated environment, and changes to, or non-compliance with, regulations and laws could harm our business.
Securities and tax laws and regulations governing our activities may change in ways adverse to our and our shareholders interests, and interpretations of these laws and regulations may change with unpredictable consequences. Any change in the laws or regulations that govern our business could have an adverse impact on us or on our operations. Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance, valuation and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, new SEC regulations, and new federal accounting standards, are creating additional expense and uncertainty for publicly held companies in general. These new or changed laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations in many cases because of their lack of specificity, and as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time, which may well result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices.
Our efforts to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards have and will continue to result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. Further, if our efforts to comply with new or changed laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies, our reputation may be harmed. Also, as business and financial practices continue to evolve, they may render the regulations under which we operate less appropriate and more burdensome than they were when originally imposed. This increased regulatory burden is causing us to incur significant additional expenses and is time consuming for our management, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance.
We rely upon trademark, copyright and trade secret laws to protect our proprietary rights and those of our clients, which may not provide adequate protection.
Our success and ability to compete depends to a significant degree upon the protection of intellectual property rights, including without limitation our trademarks, trade names and trade secrets and those of our client. We rely on trademark, copyright and trade secret laws, each of which affords only limited protection. To date we have not received any trademark protection. Our inability to protect intellectual property rights could seriously harm business, operating results and financial condition.
Litigation could become necessary in the future to enforce intellectual property rights.
Any litigation could be time consuming and expensive to prosecute or resolve, result in substantial diversion of management attention and resources, and materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
From time to time, we may encounter disputes over rights and obligations concerning intellectual property. Such claims may be with or without merit. Any litigation to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources. Furthermore, a party making such a claim could secure a judgment awarding substantial damages. A judgment could also include an injunction or other court order that could prevent us from selling products. Our business, operating results and financial condition would be harmed if any of these events occurred.
We could incur substantial costs in our defense against infringement claims. In the event of a claim of infringement, we might be required to obtain one or more licenses from third parties. We might be unable to obtain necessary licenses from third parties at a reasonable cost, if at all. Defense of any lawsuit or failure to obtain any such required licenses could harm our business, operating results and financial condition.
We are dependent upon our chief executive officer for future success.
Our future success to a significant extent depends on the continued service of Michael Queen, our chief executive and financial officer. The departure of Mr. Queen could materially adversely affect our ability to implement our business strategy. We do not maintain for our benefit any key-man life insurance on Mr. Queen.
6
Failure to retain and attract qualified personnel could harm our business.
Our success depends on our ability to attract, train and retain qualified personnel. Competition for qualified personnel is intense and we may not be able to hire sufficient personnel to support the anticipated growth of our business. If we fail to attract and retain qualified personnel, our business will suffer. Additionally, companies whose employees accept positions with competitors often claim that such competitors have engaged in unfair hiring practices. We may receive such claims in the future as we seek to hire qualified employees. We could incur substantial costs in defending against any such claims.
We may have difficulty managing any future growth.
For the implementation of our business objectives, we may need to grow rapidly; brisk growth would lead to increased responsibility for both existing and new management personnel. In an effort to manage such growth, we must maintain and enhance our financial and accounting systems and controls, hire and integrate new personnel and manage expanded operations. Despite systems and controls, growth is expected to place a significant strain on our management systems and resources. We will need to continue to improve our operational, managerial and financial controls, reporting systems and procedures, and will need to continue to expand, train and manage our work force. Failure to manage our future growth would have a material adverse effect on the quality of our operations, ability to retain customers and key personnel and operating results and financial condition.
We may not be successful in finding or marketing new products.
Our business operations and financial performance depends on the ability to attract and market new products on a consistent basis. In the direct marketing industry, the average product life cycle varies from six months to four years, based on numerous factors, including competition, product features, distribution channels utilized, cost of goods sold and effectiveness of advertising. Less successful products have shorter life cycles. The majority of products are submitted by inventors. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring rights to quality products. We select new products based upon managements expertise and limited market studies. As a result, we need to acquire the rights to quality products with sufficient margins and consumer appeal to justify the acquisition costs. There can be no assurance that chosen products will generate sufficient revenues to justify the acquisition and marketing costs.
Our financial performance is dependent on the products that we do not produce or manufacture.
Our business and results of operations are dependent on the success of products that we do not produce or manufacture. It is likely that the majority of the products we market may fail to generate sufficient revenues. Furthermore it is likely we will market more products which fail to generate significant revenues as opposed to products which generate significant revenues. Our sales and profitability will be adversely affected if we are unable to develop a sufficient number of successful products.
Our financial performance may be harmed if unfavorable economic conditions adversely affect consumer spending.
Our success depends to a significant extent upon a number of factors relating to discretionary consumer spending, including economic conditions affecting disposable consumer income such as employment, business conditions, taxation and interest rates. Other events that adversely affect the economy may diminish consumer spending. There can be no assurance that consumer spending will not be affected by adverse economic conditions, thereby adversely affecting our business, financial condition and results of operations.
7
We face competition from many other types of companies for customers.
We face significant competition within each merchandise category. The markets for our merchandise are highly competitive, and the recent growth in these markets has encouraged the entry of many new competitors as well as increased competition from established companies. There are no significant barriers to entry in the direct marketing industry. Our competitors include large and small retailers, other direct marketing companies, including some with direct response television programs. Furthermore, established brick-and-mortar retail competitors have recently made efforts to sell products through direct response marketing methods. Many of these competitors are larger and have significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources. Increased direct response marketing programs may adversely affect response rates to our direct response television marketing efforts, which would directly affect margins. Our failure to compete successfully would materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
We may not be able to respond in a timely and cost effective manner to changes in consumer preferences.
Our merchandise is subject to changing consumer preferences. A shift in consumer preferences away from the merchandise we offer could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of our operations. Our future success depends in part on our ability to anticipate and respond to changes in consumer preferences and there can be no assurance that we will respond in a timely or effective manner. Failure to anticipate and respond to changing consumer preferences could lead to, among other things, lower sales of products, significant markdowns or write-offs of inventory, increased merchandise returns and lower margins, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our business would be harmed if manufactures and service provides are unable to deliver products or provide services in a timely and cost effective manner.
We do not have any long term contracts with manufacturers, supplies or other service providers. We do not produce or manufacture products we market. In addition, we utilize third party companies to fulfill consumer orders and provide telemarketing services. If manufacturers or suppliers are unable, either temporarily or permanently, to manufacture or deliver products or provide services in a timely and cost effective manner, it could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Disruption in our ability to fulfill orders would harm our financial performance.
Our ability to provide effective customer service and efficiently fulfill orders for merchandise depends, to a large degree, on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of the manufacturing and related call centers, distribution centers, and management information systems run by third parties. Furthermore we are dependent on the timely performance of other third party shipping companies. Any material disruption or slowdown in manufacturing, order processing or fulfillment systems resulting from strikes or labor disputes, telephone down times, electrical outages, mechanical problems, human error or accidents, fire, natural disasters, adverse weather conditions or comparable events could cause delays in our ability to receive and fulfill orders and may cause orders to be lost or to be shipped or delivered late. As a result, these disruptions could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.
We may experience merchandise returns or warranty claims in excess of our expectations.
Actual merchandise returns and warranty claims may exceed allowances. Any significant increase in merchandise returns or warranty claims would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Ineffective media purchases may inhibit our ability to sell products, build customer awareness and brand loyalty.
We work with companies who purchase direct response television programming on cable and broadcast networks, network affiliates and local stations. Significant increases in the cost of media time or significant decreases in the available access to media could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Market prices of our common stock will continue to be volatile.
We expect that the market price of our common stock price will continue to be volatile. The price of our common stock may be higher or lower than the price you pay for your shares, depending on many factors, some of which are beyond our control and may not be directly related to our operating performance. These factors include the following:
· | stock market and capital markets conditions; |
· | internal developments in our Company with respect to our personnel, financial condition and compliance with all applicable regulations; |
· | capacity to find, manage and retain new clients for management services; |
· | general economic conditions and trends; and/or departures of key personnel. |
We will not have control over many of these factors, but expect that our stock price may be influenced by them. As a result, our stock price may be volatile, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Our quarterly results fluctuate and are not indicative of future quarterly performance.
Our quarterly operating results fluctuate as a result of a number of factors. These factors include, among others, variations in and the timing of the recognition of realized and unrealized gains or losses, the degree of success of our investments, management contract issuance and renewals and capital markets conditions. As a result of these factors, results for any one quarter should not be relied upon as being indicative of performance in future quarters.
We hold investments in illiquid securities and may not be able to dispose of them when it is advantageous to do so.
Most of our investments are equity or equity-linked securities acquired directly from small companies. These equity securities are generally subject to restrictions on resale or otherwise have no established trading market. The illiquidity of most of our portfolio of equity securities may adversely affect our ability to dispose of these securities at times when it may be advantageous for us to liquidate these investments. We may never be able to dispose of these securities. In addition, if we are required to liquidate all or a portion of our portfolio quickly, we may realize values significantly less than the values recorded for such investments. If we are unable to sell our assets at opportune times, we might suffer a loss and/or reduce a gain. Restrictions on resale and limited liquidity are both factors our Board of Directors will consider in determining fair value of our investments. Moreover, even investments in publicly-traded securities are likely to be relatively illiquid because the market for companies of the type in which we invest tend to be thin and usually cannot accommodate large volume trades.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock.
Rules related to low-priced equity securities may make it harder for you to sell our common stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are defined by law generally as equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules place additional responsibilities on broker-dealers effecting transaction in such securities. These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary markets for a stock that is subject to the penny stock rules.
Our common stock trades on the OTC which may make it more difficult for you to sell your stock.
Our common stock trades over-the-counter under the symbol UCMT, and it has a limited trading market. Accordingly, we cannot assure you as to the liquidity of any markets that may be available for our common stock, your ability to sell your Company common stock, or the price at which you may be able to sell your Company common stock.

Our Board of Directors may grant stock options to our employees pursuant to our Company's Equity Incentive Plan. When exercised, these options may have a dilutive effect on existing shareholders.
In accordance with our Companys Equity Incentive Plan, our Board of Directors grants options from time to time to our employees. When options are exercised, net asset value per share will decrease if the net asset value per share at the time of exercise is higher than the exercise price. Alternatively, net asset value per share will increase if the net asset value per share at the time of exercise is lower than the exercise price. Therefore, existing shareholders will be diluted if the net asset value per share at the time of exercise is higher than the exercise price of the options. Even though issuance of shares pursuant to exercises of options increases our Company's capital, and regardless of whether such issuance results in increases or decreases in net asset value per share, such issuance results in existing shareholders owning a smaller percentage of the shares outstanding.
Item 2. | Properties. |
Our Company leases on a month-to-month basis approximately 1,200 square feet of office space at 2601 Annand Drive, Suite 16, Wilmington, Delaware where we conduct our operations. Monthly rent for the space is $1,500.
Item 3. | Legal Proceedings |
The following is a brief description material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary, routine litigation incidental to our business, to which our Company is a party.

On April 2, 2009, in order to avoid the cost of litigation, the Company agreed to a Consent of Judgment against it in the amount of $166,129 and the Company has this amount recorded as accounts payable as of April 30, 2013.

Holders

Dividends
Our Company currently anticipates that it will retain all of its earnings to finance the operation and expansion of its business, and therefore does not intend to pay dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Since our inception, we have never declared or paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock. Any determination to pay dividends in the future is at the discretion of our Companys Board of Directors and will depend upon the Companys financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, limitations contained in loan agreements and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant.

Penny Stock Regulations and Restrictions on Marketability
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 market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or 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 SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) 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 of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) 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; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.
In addition, the penny stock rules 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 acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling our securities.

Item 7. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. |
Introduction
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements. The words anticipate, believe, expect, plan, intend, estimate, project, will, could, may and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect our Companys current views with respect to future events and financial performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Should one or more risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially and adversely from those anticipated, believed, expected, planned, intended, estimated, projected or otherwise indicated. Readers should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
The following discussion is qualified by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with our Companys financial statements and the notes thereto.
Our Company identifies, advises in development and markets consumer products. Our strategy employs three primary channels: Direct Response Television (Infomercials), Television Shopping Networks and Retail Outlets. We seek to assist and enable entrepreneurs to introduce products to the consumer market. Entrepreneurs can leverage our experience and valuable business contacts in functions such as product selection, marketing development, media buying and direct response television production. Inventors and entrepreneurs submit products or business concepts for our input and advice. We generate revenues from two primary sources (i) management of the entire business cycle of the consumer product and (ii) sales of consumer products, for which we receive a share of net profits of consumer products sold. We do not manufacture any of our products. As of the date of this filing we have generated limited revenues and do not rely on any principal products. While the Company has received limited revenues from management fees generated from the sales of several products, none of these fees have generated material revenues. We currently do not sell any internally developed or Company owned products.
On February 18, 2005, our Company filed an election to become subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act), such that it could commence conducting business as a business development company (BDC). On November 1, 2011, the Company filed Form N-54C notification of withdrawal of election to be regulated as a Business Development Company (BDC). The withdrawal was effective upon receipt of the Form N-54C notification by the SEC, and our Company is no longer subject to regulation as a BDC.
13
We have no intention to invest in securities or meet the definition of an investment company, as described in Section 3 of the 1940 Act. Our Company is managed so it will not be deemed to be an investment company as defined in the 1940 Act. Our company maintains its registration under the 1934 Act and we continue to be obligated to file regular reports as required thereunder.
Financial Condition
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $1,020,653 for the year ended April 30, 2013. Additionally, at April 30, 2013, the Company has minimal cash and has a working capital deficit of $1,107,814, an accumulated deficiency of $10,111,654 and a stockholders deficiency of $1,108,914, which could have a material impact on the Companys financial condition and operations. As a result of the significant working capital deficit at April 30, 2013, the Company does not have sufficient cash resources or current assets to pay its obligations.
Results of Operations
Year ended April 30, 2013 compared to the year ended April 30, 2012
For the year ended April 30, 2013 we had revenue for services in the amount of $53,916 compared to $160,101 for the year ended April 30, 2012. For 2013 and 2012, all of our revenue was comprised of management services provided to customers.
Total operating expenses for the year ended April 30, 2013 were $742,787, the principal component of which was $573,882 of professional fees. The professional fees included $364,000 of professional fees related to share-based compensation expense. The share-based compensation expense was for 3,700,000 shares of Company common stock subscribed for services provided by consultants and other professionals. By comparison, total operating expenses for the year ended April 30, 2012 were $2,164,540, the principal component of which was $2,017,006 of salaries and wages, which includes $1,991,250 of share based compensation expense for 7,375,000 shares of stock issued to employees and directors.
Other Income (Expense) for the year ended April 30, 2013 was $331,782 of expense compared to $606,960 of expense for the year ended April 30, 2012. The 2013 amount consisted primarily of an expense of $308,345 for the impairment of non-marketable equity securities and a $12,908 expense for a loss on the sale of available-for-sale marketable equity securities. The 2012 amount consisted primarily of an expense of $596,163 for loss on the sale of available-for-sale marketable equity securities.
We had a net loss of $1,020,653 and $2,611,339 for the years ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As a result of the net loss positions, for the years ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, we had no income tax provision, respectively.
For the year ended April 30, 2013, we had a $17,808 unrealized loss on available-for-sale marketable equity securities resulting in a total comprehensive loss of $1,038,461. For the year ended April 30, 2012, we had a $570,785 unrealized gain on available-for-sale marketable equity securities resulting in a total comprehensive loss of $2,040,614.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
From inception, our Company has relied upon the infusion of capital through capital share transactions and the sale of available-for-sale marketable equity securities to obtain liquidity. We had $14,853 of cash at April 30, 2013 and a working capital deficit of $1,108,914. Consequently, payment of operating expenses will have to come similarly from equity capital to be raised from investors, from the sale of available-for-sale marketable equity securities, from borrowed funds or from the success of our direct response products we are managing. There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising such additional equity capital or additional borrowings or if we can, that we can do so at a price that management believes to be appropriate.
14
Recently, it was necessary for us to dispose of a significant portion of our available-for-sale marketable equity securities to meet our operational needs. In the future, we may be forced to continue to dispose of these securities if it ever becomes short of cash. Any such dispositions may have to be made at inopportune times. Additionally, at April 30, 2013, the Company holds only $203,339 of available-for-sale marketable equity securities, which represents approximately 96% of total assets. As such, if these securities are disposed of in the future, the Company has no other primary assets to meet operational needs.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our Company's accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements. As disclosed in Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on our managements best knowledge of current events and actions our Company may undertake in the future, actual results could differ from the estimates.
Item 8. | Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. |
See attached Appendix A.
Item 9A. | Controls and Procedures. |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, our Company evaluated the effectiveness and design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. Our Companys disclosure controls and procedures are the controls and other procedures that we designed to ensure that our Company records, processes, summarizes, and reports in a timely manner the information that it must disclose in reports that our Company files with or submits to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2013 and concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, because certain deficiencies involving internal controls over financial reporting constituted a material weakness as discussed below.
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 Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO").
Based on its evaluation, our management concluded that there is a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Companys annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
The material weakness(s) identified are:
1.
The Company does not have a full time Accounting Controller or Chief Financial Officer and utilizes a part time consultant to perform these critical responsibilities. This lack of full time accounting staff results in a lack of segregation of duties and accounting technical expertise necessary for an effective system of internal control.
15
Additionally, management determined during its internal control assessment the following weakness(s), while not considered material, are items that should be considered by the Board of Directors for resolution in the near future:
2.
The Company IT process should be strengthened as there is no disaster recovery plan, no server, and the company accounting records are maintained through a consultant accountant. The Company should consider the purchase and implementation of a server and proper back-ups off site to ensure that accounting information is safeguarded.
3.
The Company should take steps to implement a policies and procedures manual.
In order to mitigate the above weaknesses(s), to the fullest extent possible, the Company has engaged a financial consultant with significant accounting and reporting experience to assist the Company in becoming and remaining current with its reporting responsibilities. Additionally, as soon as our finances allow, we will hire sufficient accounting staff and implement appropriate procedures to mitigate the weaknesses discussed above.
Additionally, the Company plans on hiring a fulltime Accounting Controller or Chief Financial Officer when funds are sufficient.
The Company's internal control over financial reporting should include policies and procedures that (1) pertain to maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) 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.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. In addition, the design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and controls may become inadequate if conditions change. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only managements attestation in this annual report.
Changes in Company Internal Controls
No change in our Companys internal control over financial reporting occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Michael D. Queen |
| 57 |
| Director, Chief Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, Secretary |
| 1 year /Since 2004 |
(b) Business experience of directors, executive officers, and significant employees.
Michael D. Queen. Mr. Queen has been the Chief Executive Officer and director of the Company since 2004 and Principal Financial Officer of the Company since December 2011. He served as the President of the Company from 2004 through February 2009. Since founding UCM, Mr. Queen has worked with eighteen startup companies. He assisted these companies with their funding and was responsible for helping seven of those companies enter the public marketplace. Mr. Queen is considered an expert in the microcap arena with extensive knowledge of how these markets operate and has been extensively involved in the start-up businesses and initial capitalization plans. Prior to UCM, Mr. Queen was the President, CEO and a director at Pennexx Foods, Inc., a publicly traded company. From 1994 to 1998, Mr. Queen was the President of Ocean King Enterprises, a start-up specialty food manufacturer. From 1978 to 1999, Mr. Queen was an executive in the supermarket industry serving the greater New York, New Jersey and Delaware region. Mr. Queens qualifications to serve on our board of directors include his knowledge of our company and his years of management, marketing and financial experience.
Each Director of the Company holds such position until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until his successor is duly elected and qualified. The officers hold office until the first meeting of the board of directors following the annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors are chosen and qualified, subject to early removal by the board of directors.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires that our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater-than-ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with all Section 16(a) forms they file. To the best of our knowledge, based solely upon a review of Forms 3 and 4 and amendments thereto furnished to our Company during its most recent fiscal year and Forms 5 and amendments thereto furnished to our Company with respect to its most recent fiscal year, and any written representation referred to in paragraph (b)(1) of Item 405 of Regulation S-K, all of our executive officers, directors and greater-than-ten percent stockholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements.
Audit Committee
Our Company does not have a separately designated standing audit committee in place; our Companys entire board of directors has served, and currently serves, in that capacity. This is due to the small number of executive officers involved with the Company and the fact that the Company operates with few employees. Our board of directors will continue to evaluate, from time to time, whether a separately designated standing audit committee should be put in place. We do not have an audit committee financial expert as that term is defined by the rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We currently have limited working capital and limited revenues. Management does not believe that it would be in our best interests at this time to retain independent directors to sit on an audit committee. If we are able to generate sufficient revenues in the future, then we will likely seek out and retain independent directors and form an audit, compensation committee and other applicable committees.
17
Nominating Committee
Our Board of Directors does not have a nominating committee. This is due to the small number of executive officers involved with the Company, and the fact that the Company operates with few employees. Instead of having such a committee, our Board of Directors historically has searched for and evaluated qualified individuals to become nominees for membership on our Board of Directors. The directors recommend candidates for nomination for election or reelection for each annual meeting of shareholders and, as necessary, to fill vacancies and newly created directorships.
Code of Ethics
The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics that also applies to its principle executive officer and principal financial officer. The text of the Code of Ethics is available on the Companys website at http://www.unicapman.com. Upon the written request to the Company mailed to the Companys principal office, the Company shall provide to any person without charge a copy of our code of ethics.

(1) | Serves as an executive officer and a director but receives no additional compensation for serving as a director. |
Compensation Committee
Our Board of Directors currently has no standing compensation committee or committee performing similar functions. This is due to the small number of executive officers involved with the Company, and the fact that the Company operates with few employees. The Companys entire Board of Directors currently participates in the consideration of executive officer and director compensation. Our Board of Directors will continue to evaluate, from time to time, whether it should appoint standing compensation committee.
Compensation Policies and Practices As They Relate To Our Risk Management
No risks arise from our Companys compensation policies and practices for our employees that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our Company.

Item 13. | Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, Director Independence |
Related Transactions
On November 1, 2008 the Company entered into a promissory note with Barbara Queen, Michael Queens wife, in the amount of $294,000. This amount was the total that was loaned to the Company over a period of two years prior, beginning in November 2006, on behalf of Mrs. Queen to fund Company operations. The promissory note calls for interest of eight percent (8%) annum beginning on November 2008. Subsequent loans were made by Mrs. Queen. The principal balance outstanding as of April 30, 2012 was $237,696 and was partially repaid in the amount of $69,317 during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013. The outstanding balance as of April 30, 2013 is $168,379.
Review and Approval of Transactions with Related Persons
We do not have a formal, written policy solely for the review and approval of transactions with related parties. However, our Code of Ethics provides guidelines for reviewing and handling conflict of interest transactions with our directors, officers and employees. The entire Board of Directors is responsible for reviewing all related party transactions. Before approving any such transaction, the Board of Directors would take into account all relevant facts and circumstances that it deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, the risks, costs and benefits to the Company, the terms of the transaction, the availability of other sources for comparable services or products, and if applicable, the impact on a directors independence. Only those transactions that, in light of known circumstances, are fair as to, and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, as the Board of Directors determines in the good faith exercise of its discretion, shall be approved.
20
Director Independence
Although we currently trade on the Over-the-Counter quotation system, our board of directors has reviewed each of the directors relationships with our Company in conjunction with Section 121 of the listing standards of the NYSE Amex and has affirmatively determined that none of our directors are independent directors in that they are independent of management and free of any relationship that would interfere with their independent judgment as members of our board of directors.
We do not have a separately designated audit, nominating or compensation committee or committee performing similar functions. Our sole director, Michael Queen serves in such capacities and is not independent as defined herein. We do not currently have an audit committee financial expert as that term is defined by the rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of:
Universal Capital Management, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Universal Capital Management, Inc as of April 30, 2013 and 2012 and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders' equity (deficiency), and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended April 30, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Universal Capital Management, Inc as of April 30, 2013 and 2012 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended April 30, 2013 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. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company had a net loss and net cash used in operations of $1,020,653 and $233,934, respectively, in 2013, and has a working capital deficit, accumulated deficiency and stockholders deficiency of $1,108,914, $10,111,654 and $1,107,814, respectively, at April 30, 2013 and has minimal revenues. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans as to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
History and Nature of Business and Going Concern
Universal Capital Management, Inc. (the Company, we, us, our) identifies, advises in development and markets consumer products. Our strategy employs three primary channels: Direct Response Television (Infomercials), Television Shopping Networks and Retail Outlets. We seek to assist and enable entrepreneurs to introduce products to the consumer market. Entrepreneurs can leverage our experience and valuable business contacts in functions such as product selection, marketing development, media buying and direct response television production. Inventors and entrepreneurs submit products or business concepts for our input and advice. We generate revenues from two primary sources (i) management of the entire business cycle of the consumer product and (ii) sales of consumer products, for which we receive a share of net profits of consumer products sold. We do not manufacture any of our products. As of the date of this filing we have generated limited revenues, do not rely on any principal products and do not sell any internally developed or Company owned products.
On November 1, 2011, the Company filed Form N-54C notification of withdrawal of election to be regulated as a Business Development Company (BDC). The withdrawal was effective upon receipt of the Form N-54C notification by the SEC, and our Company is no longer subject to regulation as a BDC.
We have no intention to invest in securities or meet the definition of an investment company, as described in Section 3 of the 1940 Act. Our Company will be managed so it will not be deemed to be an investment company as defined in the 1940 Act. Our company will maintain its registration under the 1934 Act and we will continue to be obligated to file regular reports as required thereunder.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had a net loss and cash used in operating activities of $1,020,653 and $233,934, respectively for the year ended April 30, 2013. Additionally, at April 30, 2013, the Company has minimal cash and has a working capital deficit of $1,108,914 and an accumulated deficiency of $10,111,654, which could have a material impact on the Companys financial condition and operations. As a result, the Company has a stockholders deficiency of $1,107,814 at April 30, 2013. The Company does not have sufficient cash resources or current assets to pay its obligations.
In view of these matters, recoverability of any asset amounts shown in the accompanying financial statements is dependent upon the Companys ability to achieve a level of profitability. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Since inception, the Company has financed its activities from the sale of equity securities and from loans. The Company intends on financing its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of public equity securities, until such time that funds provided by operations, if ever, are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
We are currently positioning our Company to expand its business and become a diversified holding company that is engaged in different businesses through the operation of equity method investees. We plan to accomplish this expansion through acquisition, merger or the formation of newly created subsidiaries. We are currently in various stages of talks with several target companies that could further the company's goal to become a diversified holding company, but no agreements have been reached to date.

NOTE 1 NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Accounting Changes
The withdrawal of the Company's election to be regulated as a BDC resulted in a change in reporting entity and a change in accounting principle. BDC financial statement presentation and accounting use the fair value method of accounting, which requires BDCs to value certain of their investments at market value as opposed to historical cost and to recognize all unrealized gains or losses in operations. As an operating company, the Company will use either the fair-value or historical-cost method (ASC 320 Investments Debt and Equity Securities) of accounting for financial statement presentation and accounting for securities held, depending on how the investment is classified and how long the Company intends to hold the investment and will recognize unrealized gains or losses as a component of stockholders equity (deficiency). Also certain financial statements or schedules which are required to be presented for a BDC are not required for an operating company and the presentation and classification of items in the balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows will differ from that in a BDC. In accordance with ASC 250 Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, the change from a BDC to an operating company has been retrospectively applied to all periods presented in the accompanying financial statements.
As a BDC, the balance sheet was unclassified and presented with investment securities as the primary asset, a composition of net assets and an equivalent net asset value per share. As an operating company, assets and liabilities are classified as current and long-term, stockholders equity (deficiency) is presented instead of net assets, unrealized gains (losses) on securities is included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). As a BDC, the statement of operations included unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, and presented net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations and as a per share amount. As an operating company, unrealized gains and losses on investments is excluded from net income and classified as a component of comprehensive income (loss). Additionally, net loss and net loss per share are reported.
Investments
The Company invests in various marketable equity instruments and accounts for such investments in accordance with ASC 320 Investments Debt and Equity Securities.
Certain securities that the Company may invest in may be determined to be non-marketable. Non-marketable securities where the fair market value is not readily determinable and the Company owns less than 20% of the investee are accounted for at cost pursuant to ASC topic 325-20 Cost Method Investments. Non-marketable securities where the Company owns greater than 20% of the investee are accounted for pursuant to ASC topic 323-10 Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures. Non-marketable securities for investments in joint ventures are accounted for pursuant to ASC topic 323-30 Partnerships, Joint Ventures, Limited Liability Entities
Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments at the time of acquisition and reevaluates such determination at each balance sheet date. Trading securities that the Company may hold are treated in accordance with ASC 320 with any unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Investments classified as held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost. In determining realized gains and losses, which are included in earnings in the period of disposal, the cost of the securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

YEARS ENDED APRIL 30, 2013 AND 2012
NOTE 1 NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The Company periodically reviews its investments in marketable and non-marketable securities and impairs any securities whose value is considered non-recoverable. The Company's determination of whether a security is other than temporarily impaired incorporates both quantitative and qualitative information. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") requires the exercise of judgment in making this assessment for qualitative information, rather than the application of fixed mathematical criteria. The Company considers a number of factors including, but not limited to, the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, the reason for the decline in fair value, changes in fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date, and other factors specific to the individual investment. The Company's assessment involves a high degree of judgment and accordingly, actual results may differ materially from the Company's estimates and judgments. The Company recorded $308,345 and zero of impairment charges for securities during the years ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Investments in securities of affiliates represent holdings of more than 5% of the issuer's voting common stock.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on managements best knowledge of current events and actions the Company may undertake in the future, actual results could differ from the estimates.
Significant estimates in the accompanying financial statements include the allowance for receivables, valuation of securities, valuation of equity based instruments issued for other than cash, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
Cash Equivalents
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all investment instruments purchased with maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Certain financial instruments potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk. These financial instruments consist primarily of cash. At April 30, 2013 the Company did not have deposits with a financial institution that exceeded the FDIC deposit insurance coverage.
Innovation Industries accounted for greater than 90% of our revenue for the years ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. For financial accounting purposes, depreciation is generally computed by the straight-line method over the following useful lives:
Furniture and fixtures |
| 5 to 7 years |
Computer and office equipment |
| 3 to 7 years |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Companys financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The carrying values of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of their short maturities.
The carrying value of the notes payable approximates fair value since the interest rate associated with the debt approximates the current market interest rates.

Revenue Recognition
Product revenue
We recognize revenue from product sales in accordance with ASC 605 Revenue Recognition. Following agreements or orders from customers, we ship product to our customers often through a third party facilitator. Revenue from product sales is only recognized when substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to our customers, the selling price is fixed and collection is reasonably assured. Typically, these criteria are met when our customers order is received by them and we receive acknowledgment of receipt by a third party shipper. We had no product revenue for the years ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Service revenue
We also offer our customers services consisting of managing, marketing and accounting to aid in the Direct Response marketing of their product or service. In these instances, revenue is recognized when the contracted services have been provided and accepted by the customer. Deposits, if any, on these services are recognized as deferred revenue until earned.
Management Services for Equity Investments
The Company recognizes management services revenue for equity investments received as payment in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 505-50-05, Accounting by a Grantee for an Equity Instrument to be Received in Conjunction with Providing Goods or Services. The Company enters into a management service agreement with a portfolio company to provide services defined in a contract for equity instruments in the form of the portfolio companys common stock or warrants to purchase common stock. The fair value of the common stock is the portfolio companys current fair market value and the fair value of the warrant is determined using the Black-Scholes method of valuation. The fair value of the equity instruments is also the Companys cost basis in the portfolio companys securities and the income that is recognized for management services. The Company recognizes management services revenue for which payment is to be received in cash as services are provided and in accordance with the revenue recognition criteria of the Securities and Exchange Commission. If persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured, revenue is deferred and recognized evenly as services are provided over the life of the contract unless otherwise stated in the contract.
Accounting Services
The Company provides accounting and other administrative services to its companies. Upon entering into a contract with the company, the Company provides services as defined in the contract and revenue is recognized as incurred or as otherwise stated in the contract based on similar criteria as for management services discussed above.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation Share Based Compensation. This statement requires the recognition of compensation expense measured at fair value when the Company obtains employee services in stock-based payment transactions. For stock based compensation to non-employees, the Company follows the measurement and recognition criteria of ASC 505-50, Equity Payments to Non-Employees.

NOTE 1 NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740 Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, we consider tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which we operate, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the more likely than not criteria of FASB ASC 740 Income Taxes.
FASB ASC 740 requires that we recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Deferred income taxes arise principally from the recognition of unrealized gains or losses from appreciation or depreciation in investment value for financial statements purposes, while for income tax purposes, gains or losses are only recognized when realized (disposition). When unrealized gains and losses result in a net unrealized loss, provision is made for a deferred tax asset. When unrealized gains and losses result in a net unrealized gain, provision is made for a deferred tax liability. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable to refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets or liabilities.
Recoverability of Long Lived Assets
The Company follows ASC-360-10-20, Property, Plant and Equipment Overall. This standard states that long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the excess of the assets carrying amount over the estimated fair market value.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications were made to the April 30, 2012 financial statements in order to conform to the April 30, 2013 financial statement presentation. These changes relate primarily to the discussion of Accounting Changes in Note 1 above.

Recently Issued Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry-forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry-forward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). U.S. GAAP does not include explicit guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carry-forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry-forward exists. The amendments in this ASU state that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carry-forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry-forward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carry-forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry-forward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets.
This ASU applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carry-forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry-forward exists at the reporting date. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a significant effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
The FASB issued ASU No. 2013-09, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Disclosures for Nonpublic Employee Benefit Plans in Update No. 2011-04, applies to disclosures of certain quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurement for investments held by certain employee benefit plans.
The deferral applies specifically to employee benefit plans, other than those plans that are subject to SEC filing requirements, which hold investments in their plan sponsors own nonpublic entity equity securities, including equity securities of their nonpublic affiliated entities. The deferral is effective immediately for all financial statements that have not yet been issued. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a significant effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, to improve the transparency of reporting these reclassifications. Other comprehensive income includes gains and losses that are initially excluded from net income for an accounting period. Those gains and losses are later reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income. The amendments in this ASU do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information that this ASU requires already is required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements under U.S. GAAP. The new amendments will require an organization to:

· | Cross-reference to other disclosures currently required under U.S. GAAP for other reclassification items (that are not required under U.S. GAAP) to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period.

NOTE 1 NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The amendments apply to all public companies that report items of other comprehensive income. Public companies are required to comply with these amendments for all reporting periods (interim and annual).
The amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, for public companies and early adoption is permitted.
The adoption of this update is not expected to have a significant effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
Other new pronouncements issued but not yet effective until after April 30, 2013 are not expected to have a significant effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 2 BUSINESS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Since November 1, 2011, we have entered into a new business model where we identify, advise and market consumer products. We are currently positioning our Company to expand its business and become a diversified holding company that is engaged in different businesses through the operation of consolidated subsidiaries. We plan to accomplish this expansion through acquisition, merger or the formation of newly created subsidiaries. We are currently in various stages of talks with several companies that could further the company's goal to become a diversified holding company, but no agreements have been reached to date. We do not manufacture any of our products and as of the date of this filing we have generated limited revenues, do not rely on any principal products, do not sell any internally developed or Company owned products and do not manufacture any of our products
NOTE 3 INVESTMENTS
As described in Note 1, the Company adopted ASC 820-10 on May 1, 2008. ASC 820-10, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 - Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2 - Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The interest and penalties are included as accrued expenses in the accompanying financial statements at April 30, 2013. The Company has agreements with both agencies to pay a minimum per month on the interest and penalties to avoid any collections or additional liens.

The Plan has a term of 10 years and no Option shall be exercisable more than 10 years after the date of grant, or such lesser period of time as is set forth in the Award Agreement. If for any reason other than death or disability, an Optionee of the Plan who at time of the grant of an Option under the Plan was an Employee ceases to be an Employee (such event being called a Termination), Options held at the date of Termination (to the extent then exercisable) may be exercised in whole or in part at any time within three months of the date of such Termination; provided, however, that if such exercise of the Option would result in liability for the Optionee under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, then such three-month period automatically shall be extended until the tenth day following the last date upon which Optionee has any liability under Section 16(b) (but in no event after the expiration date of such Option).

The shares were valued at the quoted trade price of $0.14 per share on the grant date resulting in an expense of $210,000. The Company has not issued the shares and they are recorded as Common Stock Issuable at April 30, 2013.
On August 22, 2012, the Company entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with New Bastion Development, Inc., a Florida corporation (New Bastion) to document the business terms of a deal to enter into a joint development relationship for the construction of a nitrogen fertilizer plant capable of producing approximately 4,000 MT of granulated urea on a daily basis. This project will be completed by New Bastion Regeneration, Inc. (NBR), which is a New Bastion subsidiary company that was formed by New Bastion for the sole purpose of completing the project. Pursuant to the terms of the MOU: (i) the Company agreed to purchase from New Bastion 100,000 issued and outstanding shares of NBR held by New Bastion, representing approximately 12.7% of the outstanding shares of NBR in exchange for 5,000,000 newly issued restricted shares of Universal issued upon the execution of the MOU and $500,000 pursuant to the following schedule: $100,000 within 15 days of execution of the memorandum of understanding; and $400,000 within 60 days of execution of the Agreement.
The Company also received an option to purchase up to 240,000 additional shares of NBR currently owned by New Bastion, which will represent a total ownership including the previous 12.7% ownership purchased of approximately 43% of NBR owned by the Company for an additional $4.8 million cash and 15,000,000 of common stock of the Company under terms to be mutually negotiated, assuming no additional shares of NBR are issued. These shares of common stock were issued and are being held by the Company in accordance with the option discussed previously to acquire additional ownership in NBR for an additional $4.8 million. As a result, the 15,000,000 shares of common stock were considered contingently returnable and not considered outstanding as of April 30, 2013.
The 5,000,000 shares specified in the MOU were valued at $0.07 per share (closing bid price of Universal on August 21, 2012) or a total of $350,000. Additionally, the $100,000 of cash consideration was not paid within the 15 day period specified, nor was the $400,000 paid within the 60 day requirement.
On October 1, 2012, New Bastion provided a revised framework to Universal within the existing MOU. The revised framework included: $500,000 of cash consideration to be paid pursuant to the following schedule: a) $25,000 on or before October 31, 2012; b) $75,000 on or before December 15, 2012; and c) $400,000 on or before January 15, 2013. The revised framework provided that the dates for the cash consideration may be adjusted by mutual agreement and that New Bastion, at its sole discretion, may elect to accept additional shares of Universal common stock for all or part of the final $400,000 payment.
As of January 31, 2013, the Company fully paid the first scheduled payment of $25,000, the second scheduled payment of $75,000 and $10,000 of the third scheduled payment of $400,000 to New Bastion. Additionally, 1) in February 2013, the Company paid New Bastion $140,000, net of $3,500 of expenses paid, 2) in March 2013, the Company paid New Bastion $15,000, 3) in April 2013, the Company paid New Bastion $20,000, and 4) in May 2013, the Company paid New Bastion $20,000, net of $3,500 of expenses paid, all of these in accordance with the August 22, 2012 MOU. As a result of the payments, the original $500,000 balance owed to New Bastion had been reduced to $195,000 as of July 22, 2013.
On July 23, 2013, the Company and New Bastion agreed to renegotiate and modify the revised framework and finalize the business transaction as follows: 1) no further cash consideration will be paid by the Company to New Bastion, 2) the $288,000 of cash consideration previously paid by the Company ($305,000 adjusted for $7,000 of expenses paid) will be exchanged for 50,000 shares of New Bastion common stock, representing approximately 6.35% of the outstanding shares of NBR common stock and 3) the previously 5,000,000 shares and the 15,000,000 contingently returnable shares to New Bastion will be cancelled and returned to the Company.

(1) | The net period other comprehensive income of $629,536 is $58,750 greater than the $570,785 of unrealized gain on available-for-sale marketable equity securities reported as Comprehensive Income in the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the year ended April 30, 2012. The $58,750 difference is for the accumulated appreciation of a non-marketable security (warrant to purchase stock) in 2011 that was not recorded (valued at cost). In 2012, the warrant was exercised and the security was reclassed to an available-for sale-marketable equity security. Accordingly, the accumulated appreciation not recorded in 2011 flowed through in 2012. |
