Item 1. Business
Company Overview
DM Products is in the business of locating inventive products and introducing these products through a Direct Response Model, a form of marketing that allows potential consumers direct access to the seller without the necessity of traditional retail. Our primary focus is on infomercials (long-form television commercials, typically five minute or longer). Infomercials are a form of Direct Response Television, or DRTV for short, which include any TV advertising that asks consumers to respond directly to the company, usually by either calling an 800 number or by visiting a website. In the future, we intend to utilize other direct marketing channels, such as outbound sales via call centers, and direct mailing. We also intend to increase our sales efforts in traditional retail markets.
Our management team is approached by individuals and entities with new product ideas. The contact is usually the result of those viewing our infomercial and having an idea of their own. In addition, we frequent trade shows throughout the U.S. and have established relationships with companies known for their infomercial contacts and ideas, such as Tristar Products, Inc. (located in New Jersey) and Script-to-Screen (located in Southern California).
Within the last five years, we have only marketed one product, a fishing lure product known as the Banjo Minnow Fishing Lure System (“Banjo Minnow”). We own 75% interest in a joint venture, known as Direct Success LLC #3, which held the exclusive rights to manufacture, use, distribute, sell, advertise, promote and otherwise exploit the Banjo Minnow until June 30, 2012. The exclusive rights to the Banjo Minnow were obtained through a Manufacturing, Marketing and Distribution Agreement entered into between Direct Success LLC #3 and Banjo Buddies, the inventor and owner of the intellectual property rights of the Banjo Minnow, in October, 2003. This Agreement, together with modifications made pursuant to an Arbitration settlement, required Direct Success, LLC#3 to pay Banjo Buddies a royalty in the amount 5% for the sale of all products through December 31, 2011, with DM Products maintaining an option to extend, and extended the licensing period for an additional six (6) months, through June 30, 2013. Although the Company is still receiving residual income from sales made during the contract period and subsequently collected, revenues from this source will shortly terminate.
We do not manufacture or distribute the products that we locate to market. Our business model incorporates the outsourcing of primary functions. This outsourcing includes contracting with companies to: i) Manufacture the actual product according to our specifications and approval; ii) Warehouse our inventory and fulfill orders provided to these facilities from inbound telemarketing centers; iii) Receive customer calls in response to viewing our commercials, obtain the credit card and billing information, and transfer such information to the fulfillment centers; iv) Receive customer service calls and either correct the situation or report any problems directly to the company for handling; and v) Purchase media time, pursuant to guidelines provided by the company, such as airing dates, times and locations. We, therefore, have not purchased any machinery or tooling.
In the case of Banjo Minnow, our joint venture entity subcontracted all of the above-listed responsibilities to TriStar Products, Inc. Pursuant to the agreement with TriStar, they were responsible for infomercial production/revision, manufacture of product, procurement of media time, call center activity, fulfillment obligations, and customer service. We received royalties from the sales of the Banjo Minnow that TriStar distributes in proportion to our holdings in Direct Success LLC #3. Our royalty arrangement with Tristar provided for $4.00 per unit sold domestically and $2.50 per unit sold internationally. The present retail price for the Banjo Minnow is $19.95. In 2012, the royalties we received totaled $106,535.
We are currently looking to locate and market innovative health, beauty, fashion, fitness and other products for sale through infomercial marketing and distribution channels. As stated above, our management team is continuously seeking out new infomercial ideas. Although a specific time frame cannot be defined, management desires to introduce one (1) campaign in each calendar year. However, the feasibility of such progress will be dependent on the product idea itself as well as the cost associated with the campaign. Although we do not currently have a source of financing, we are discussing the options and feasibility of a private placement of securities to raise capital, if needed. However, there is no guarantee that a source of financing, or the success of a private placement of securities, will be secured, and there is no certainty in our obtaining additional funding.
Our operational strategy consists of employing one of three distinct business alternatives for each product/infomercial:
|
·
|
Complete Project Funding - We would obtain the exclusive licensing rights to products and pay a nominal royalty (2-5%) of gross sales to the product developer;
|
|
·
|
Joint Venture Projects - We would share costs of production, marketing and distribution and would share revenues with product developers; and
|
|
·
|
Straight Royalty Arrangements - We would partially finance the infomercials in exchange for a fixed royalty on gross sales.
|
The key to our ability to continually attract new products and new product developers will, in large part, determine our success. As part of our strategy, we intend to develop strategic alliances with strong companies that are established operators in the infomercial and advertising industry.
On April 11, 2012, the Board of Directors of DM Products, Inc. (“DMP”) entered into a resolution for the formation of a wholly owned subsidiary corporation, ELK Films, Inc. (“ELK”), a California corporation. Articles of Incorporation were filed with the California Secretary of State on April 12, 2012. The subsidiary was established to become a film distribution and production company in the motion picture industry. The Company determined to discontinue the pursuit of Elk due in part to a contractual dispute with third party participants. As such, the Board of Directors determined it to be in the best interest of the corporation to dissolve Elk Films, Inc. Articles of Dissolution were file with the California Secretary of State in December of 2012.
Dyatlov Pass Productions, LLC
In December, 2012, the Company began negotiations with Magnum Real Estate Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation and Don Baker, an individual, for the formation of Dyatlov Pass Productions, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company. It is the intent of the joint venture to raise capital sufficient to produce, promote and distribute a film based on screenplay written by Don Baker. Pursuant to an agreement entered into subsequent to the filing period contained herein, DM Products, Inc. owns 33 1/3% of Dyatlov Pass Productions, LLC. Although the limited liability company intends to fund the project through a private placement of membership interest, as of the date of this filing, no capital has been raised.
Corporate History
We were incorporated on March 1, 2001 under the laws of the state of Nevada under the name Effective Sports Nutrition Corporation. On April 11, 2005, Effective Sports Nutrition changed its name to Midwest E.S.W.T. Corp. On July 18, 2005, the company entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Direct Success, Inc., a California corporation. As a result of the agreement, Midwest E.S.W.T issued an aggregate of 114,851,043 shares of common stock to the shareholders of Direct Success, Inc. in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding common stock in Director Success, Inc. On December 14, 2005, Midwest E.S.W.T changed its name to DM Products, Inc. As a result of this transaction, Direct Success, Inc. is the wholly owned subsidiary of the registrant, DM Products, Inc. At the time of the share exchange agreement with Direct Success, Inc., Direct Success had an accumulated loss of $6,195,881.
Employees
During 2012, Mr Cockrum did not receive compensation but his salary has accrued. We do not expect any material changes in the number of employees over the next twelve month period. However, we will be conducting most of our business through agreements with consultants and third parties.

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Market Information
Our common stock trades over-the-counter in the recently created OTCQB marketplace under the symbol DMPD. This new comprehensive over-the-counter market tier includes the securities of over 768 SEC reporting companies and banks formerly designated as Pink Sheets stocks, in addition to the 3,050 securities that are currently quoted in both Pink OTC Markets' electronic inter-dealer quotation system and FINRA's OTCBB. All securities in the new OTCQB tier are displayed on www.otcmarkets.com with an icon reading, "OTCQB." We commenced trading on the OTCQB following our S-1 effective date of October 15, 2010. Prior to this date, our common stock traded on Pink Sheets, which is sponsored by FINRA. The Pink Sheets is a network of security dealers who buy and sell stock. The dealers on both the Pink Sheets and OTCQB are connected by a computer network that provides information on current "bids" and "asks", as well as volume information.
On November 9, 2010, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority cleared the Company’s request for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board. This ruling was made pursuant to FINRA Rule 6440 and Rule 15c2-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and became effective on November 9, 2010. The stock traded under the symbol DMPD.BB.
In February, 2011, we learned that market makers trading in our stock dropped use of FINRA’s OCCBB because of the added fees necessary to keep that designation. With the advent of the OTCQB, these brokers are trading our securities exclusively on the OTCQB and not the OTCBB. We do not believe it necessary at this time to reapply for quotation on the OTCBB because of the new trend in trading on the OTCQB.
The following table sets forth the range of high and low bid quotations for our common stock for each of the periods indicated as reported by the OTCBB. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

Penny Stock
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.
As of December 31, 2012, we had 272,339,011 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, held by two hundred ninety eight (298) shareholders of record.
Dividends
There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:
|
1.
|
we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or;
|
|
2.
|
our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.
|
We have not declared any dividends and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
During the Calendar year of 2012, there were no sales of unregistered securities.
Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
We do not have any equity compensation plans.
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe-harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse affect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC.
Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 2012 and 2011
As of December 31, 2012, we had total assets in the amount of $36,731, consisting of $34,762 in cash, $1,541 in Tristar Receivables, $0.00 in other receivables, $0.00 in Prepaid Expenses, and property and equipment of $428. Our total current liabilities as of December 31, 2012 were $346,379. We had working capital deficit of ($309,648) as of December 31, 2012.
Our current monthly fixed expenses (“Burn Rate”) are approximately $15,000. Since the termination of our distribution contract with Tristar, the Company has no current source of revenue and needs to raise additional capital in order to sustain operations.
As of December 31, 2012, our cash reserves were $ 34,762 and we do have a line of credit which enables us to access $45,000. As of December 31, 2012, the balance on this line of credit was $0.00. If we need to and cannot raise additional capital, we would be forced to discontinue operations.
Infomercials are our sole source of revenue. Our revenue was $200,986 for the year ended December 31, 2011 and $106,535 for the year ended December 31, 2012. Revenue was down from the year ended December 2011 in 2012 due to the expiring Banjo Minnow agreement on June 30, 2012. Some residual revenue was received during the sell off period of inventory until year end 2012. Due to the agreement expiration, there is no further anticipated revenue expected in 2013 from the Banjo Minnow sales.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2012, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.
Going Concern
Our independent auditor’s report expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management shares such concern in the event the company is unable to attract and obtain additional products and successfully implement our business plan, including increased revenues and additional funding. We have operated with limited operating capital and we will continue to face immediate and substantial cash needs. We did not obtain a profit during fiscal year 2012 and there is no assurance that we will show a net profit in 2013. We need to obtain additional funding to implement our business plan and continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
On December 1, 2009 the Company adopted the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations”. ASC 805 establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer in a business combination (i) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired business; (ii) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and (iii) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The adoption of this statement had no effect on the Company’s reported financial position or results of operations.
On December 1, 2009, the Company adopted the newly ratified guidance which is part of ASC 815-40, “Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”. ASC 815-40 provides guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The adoption of this statement had no effect on the Company’s reported financial position or results of operations.
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-17, "Revenue Recognition - Milestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition" (codified within ASC 605 - Revenue Recognition). ASU 2010-17 provides guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research or development transactions. ASU 2010-17 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this statement had no effect on the Company’s reported financial position or results of operations.
In March 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-11, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives" (codified within ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging). ASU 2010-11 improves disclosures originally required under SFAS No. 161. ASU 2010-11 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this statement had no effect on the Company’s reported financial position or results of operations.
In May 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-19 (ASU 2010-19), Foreign Currency (Topic 830): Foreign Currency Issues: Multiple Foreign Currency Exchange Rates. The amendments in this Update are effective as of the announcement date of March 18, 2010. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-19 to have any effect on the Company’s reported financial position or results of operations.
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors of
DM Products, Inc.
Walnut Creek, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DM Products, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DM Products, Inc. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that DM Products, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 10 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses from operations, has negative working capital, and is in need of additional capital to grow its operations so that it can become profitable. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regard to these matters are described in Note 10. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Operations
DM Products, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated on March 1, 2001 as Effective Sport Nutrition Corporation. Subsequently, on April 11, 2005, the Company changed its name to Midwest E.S.W.T Corp and on December 14, 2005, it changed its name again to DM Products, Inc.
On July 18, 2005, the Company acquired Direct Success, Inc. a California Corporation in exchange for 70 % of the Company's Common Stock, making Direct Success, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Midwest E.S.W.T agreed that a total of 114,851,043 shares of Restricted Common Stock were to be issued to shareholders of Direct Success, Inc.
The Company operates from Walnut Creek, California and it wholly owns Direct Success, Inc which owns 75% of Direct Success, LLC 3, a limited liability company formed on or about August 16, 2002. Direct Success, Inc entered into a joint venture with Buena Vista Infomercial Corporation which owns 25%. The purpose is to market products through direct response to television infomercials.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2012
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.
Accounting BasisThe Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” accounting). The Company has adopted a December 31 fiscal year end.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had cash balances of $34,762 and $26,089, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, royalties receivable, prepaid expense, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and sales tax payable. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company records revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 605 - Revenue Recognition. During the year ended December 31, 2012 revenues came from royalties from the contract Banjo Minnow the fishing lure with TriStar Products, Inc. Revenues derived from the Company license sales are recognized when (1) there is evidence of an arrangement, (2) collection of our fee is considered probable and (3) the fee is fixed and determinable.
Direct Success entered into a manufacturing, marketing and distribution agreement with Banjo Buddies who is the inventor of Banjo Minnow, a fishing lure which Direct Success 3 had a license agreement to market the product since Oct 2002. The Company entered into a modification of said agreement in April 2005. On or about May 11, 2005, Direct Success LLC 3, subcontracted the manufacturing and distribution rights to TriStar Products, Inc. In March 2007, Direct Success granted back to Banjo, the right to license and privilege for internet sales and small parts sale of the product. Under the agreement, Banjo will pay Direct Success 4% royalty on all gross sales of product. As of date of settlement, effective January 1, 2010, Direct Success no longer receives the 4% royalty for internet and part sales from Banjo Buddies. The revenues are strictly based on the contractual obligation contained in the agreement with Tristar Products, Inc., which are the royalties received from the sales of the Banjo Minnow. These royalty arrangements with Tristar provide the Company with a flat $4.00 (for unit sales under $18) and $5.00 (for unit sales over $18), per unit sold domestically, and $2.50 per unit sold internationally. The present retail price for the Banjo Minnow is $19.95.
Concentration of Risk
The Company is earning (over 90%) the majority of the royalty income from Tristar Products, Inc. Since the Company is depending on Tristar Products, Inc, the inability of Tristar to perform in the future may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

DECEMBER 31, 2012
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. It is the Company’s policy to classify interest and penalties on income taxes as interest expense or penalties expense. As of December 31, 2012, there have been no interest or penalties incurred on income taxes.
Advertising Policy
The Company recognizes advertising expense as incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2012, and 2011 were $0 and $150, respectively.
Basic Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. There are no such common stock equivalents outstanding as of December 31, 2012.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. In 2011, 19,999,999 common shares were issued at a fair market value of $.0015 per share totaling to $30,000. There was no stock-based compensation granted during the year ended December 31, 2012.
The Company follows ASC Topic 505-50, formerly EITF 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods and Services,” for stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees. In accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, these stock options and warrants issued as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based upon the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever can be more clearly determined. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to operating expense and additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered. In 2011, 22,783,333 common shares were issued at a fair market value of $.0015 per share totaling to $34,175. There was no stock-based compensation issued to non-employees during the year ended December 31, 2012.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Note 2: Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost. Major expenditures and those which substantially increase useful lives are capitalized. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to operations when incurred. When property and equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Once placed in service, depreciable assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using both accelerated and straight-line methods.

After such period of time, the employee's salary was increased to $10,000 per month. Should the company determine it in the best interest not to pay employee's entire monthly compensation, at any time, any such compensation shall be treated as deferred compensation and will accumulate on the books and be provided to the employee at the employee's sole discretion, taking into consideration the funds available and the best interest of the Company.

Note 9: Income Taxes
As of December 31, 2011, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $1,522,860 that may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income through 2032. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carry-forwards.
The provision for federal income tax consists of the following:

Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards of $1,522,860 for federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years.
Note 10: Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has sustained substantial losses since inception, has a working capital deficit, and is in need of additional capital to grow its operations so that it can become profitable.
In view of this matter, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon growth of revenues and the ability of the Company to raise additional capital. Management believes that its successful ability to raise capital and increases in revenues will provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
Note 11: Subsequent Events
DM Products, Inc. acquired a 33.3% ownership in the newly created “Dyatlov Pass Productions, LLC”, a Nevada Limited Liability Company established on January 4, 2013 for the purpose of film production.
In accordance with ASC 855-140, the Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to December 31, 2012 to the date these financial statements were issued, and has determined that it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements other than the event described above.
None.
Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of December 31, 2010. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Kurtis Cockrum. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2012 our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect such controls.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financing Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate control over financial
reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO Framework”). Based on this evaluation under the COSO Framework, management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2012
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Term of Office
Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board.
At present, Kurtis Cockrum is serving as both President and Chairman and has been a significant figure in directing all aspects of company activity. His overall experience in business start-ups is vital to the success of DM Products. (For more information concerning Mr. Cockrum’s qualifications to lead our company, see his full Bio contained elsewhere in this disclosure statement.).
There are no other significant employees at this time.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships between or among the directors, executive officers or persons nominated or chosen by us to become directors or executive officers.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
To the best of our knowledge, during the past five years, none of the following occurred with respect to our present or former director, executive officer, or employee: (1) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; (2) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (3) being subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his or her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; and (4) being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.
Committees of the Board
Our company currently does not have nominating, compensation or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor does our company have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our directors believe that it is not necessary to have such committees, at this time, because the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the board of directors.
Our company does not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. The board of directors believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. Our company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the board of directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The board of directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.
A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our board of directors may do so by directing a written request addressed to our CEO and director, Kurtis Cockrum, at the address appearing on the first page of this annual report.
Code of Ethics
Our board of directors adopted our code of ethical conduct that applies to all of our employees and directors, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, and persons performing similar functions.
We believe the adoption of our Code of Ethical Conduct is consistent with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Our Code of Ethical Conduct is designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
|
·
|
Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
|
|
·
|
Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file or submit to the Securities & Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by us;
|
|
·
|
Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
|
|
·
|
The prompt internal reporting to an appropriate person or persons identified in the code of violations of our Code of Ethical Conduct; and
