PART I
ITEM 1. | BUSINESS. |
Background
Intelligent Buying, Inc. was incorporated in the State of California on March 22, 2004. On March 22, 2004, the Company issued 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (an aggregate of 20,000 shares) to its founders, Eugene Malobrodsky and David Gorodyansky for a cash consideration of $200. On March 22, 2006, the Company issued 1,250,000 shares of its Preferred Stock to each of Messrs. Malobrodsky and Gorodyansky (2,500,000 Preferred Shares in the aggregate) in exchange for the 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock which had been previously issued. Both prior to the exchange and at the time of the exchange, Messrs. Malobrodsky and Gorodyansky owned 100% of the stock of the Company. The decision to exchange their common shares for preferred shares was intended to enable them to maintain a particular percentage holding of the Company and enable them to maintain voting control over the Company. On September 16, 2010, all 2,500,00 shares of preferred stock were converted into 5,000,000 shares of common stock. Thereafter, no shares of preferred stock remained issued and outstanding.
Our Business Generally
The Company has been engaged since 2004 in the business of asset management and sales of high-end computerized networking equipment to emerging high technology companies. The focus of the Company’s business is to facilitate the liquidation of high-end networking equipment and information technology assets by businesses which are ceasing operations and to resell these assets to evolving technology companies at a fraction of the original cost. The Company sells products which include servers with multiple CPU’s, web servers, desktop and laptop computers, enterprise level switching equipment and routers. In this respect, the Company provides a valuable service to both the financial stakeholders of the selling businesses and the purchasers.
The Company is located in the heart of Silicon Valley and is therefore well-networked with venture capital firms which are the principal funding mechanism for the information technology industry. Venture funds comprise the Company’s most important contact with business opportunities. The principal categories of equipment sold by the Company comprise high-end switching and routing equipment. The manufacturers of equipment sold by the Company are generally also competitors for sales to the same buyers. The Company also has a major focus on the evolving Voice Over Internet Protocol (“VOIP”) industry and seeks to become a major provider of switches, routers and related information technology for this industry. To date, the principal focus of the Company has been Silicon Valley. In the future, the Company intends to expand nationally, and ultimately, internationally.
1 |
Our Market
Management believes that there exists a demand for networking, switching, routers and related information technology equipment in the world market. We believe that the significant growth in the use of VOIP equipment will continue and will comprise a major part of our business for the foreseeable future. While Silicon Valley is and has been our principal market, we see substantial demand for our products and services on the U.S. east coast and internationally, particularly in Asia and the ASEAN/India markets.
Market Description
The market for our products and services is highly-fragmented and there is presently no well-organized market for used information technology equipment and the re-marketing of the same. In this respect, at this time our market niche is essentially a “cottage industry” and our goal is to become the major player in the industry in the same manner as eBay has become the major player in the online auction industry. Our initial principal focus has been to work with the venture capital community as a vehicle for the orderly disposition of information technology equipment owned by companies which are or have ceased operations and to identify equipment which is required by emerging companies which have a need for this equipment. While we cannot quantify the gross size of this market, our experience is that this market niche is substantial and that it is largely underserved by entities with a specific focus on it. As the demand for high-quality information technology equipment grows, we believe that the demand for late-model used equipment will grow concurrently, if not at a faster pace. We believe that the demand may grow the fastest in markets outside the United States where there is a strong market acceptance for second-hand equipment and the general demand for such equipment has been growing at a faster pace than in the U.S. markets due to extensive outsourcing by American industry.
Competition
Our primary competition is the original manufacturers of the equipment we sell such as Cisco, Sun Microsystems and the like. Notwithstanding, we believe that we can work in concert with the manufacturers as a clearing house for excess products outside of their normal marketing channels. Our major competitive advantage is price, as our inventory is generally available to the public at prices which are substantially below the prices for new equipment. Our inventory is also available for immediate delivery. We do face competition from other online auction services such as eBay, Overstock.com and uBid.com. While we believe that our services are superior to these competitors due to our specialized focus on the market, these entities have financial and other resources which are, and will for the foreseeable future be, significantly greater than ours. We also face competition from many smaller entities and equipment retailers who have acted as brokers for the disposition of second-hand equipment. Most of these entities deal primarily with local markets and have limited financial resources, which tend to restrict the size and scope of their operations. The Company does not rely upon a single large customer or a high concentration of a few customers. Rather, the Company serves and markets to the general public and relies upon a large number of individual customers to comprise its sales. While the Company does not have a strong reliance on any one or concentration of a few select customers, marketing to the consumer audience may create the need for advertising and marketing to the general public, which may require significant time and expense with no guaranteed return in sales or customers.
Employees
As of December 31, 2011, the Company had three employees.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY; RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND SMALL BUSINESS ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Market Price
In 2010, our common stock was approved by FINRA to trade on the OTCBB under the symbol “INTB” on an unpriced basis. There has never been a quotation for the stock and it has yet to actively trade. Even if the common stock were quoted, there may never be substantial activity in such market, if there is substantial activity, such activity may not be maintained, and no prediction can be made as to what prices may prevail in such market.
Holders
As of March 13 2012, we have issued an aggregate of 5,889,533 shares of our common stock to approximately 39 stockholders of record. The issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock were issued in accordance with the exemptions from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. 389,533 shares of the Company’s common stock were registered under a registration statement on Form SB-2 which was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on January 15, 2008.
Options and Warrants
None of the shares of our common stock are subject to outstanding options or warrants.
Status of Outstanding Common Stock
As of December 31, 2011, 5,753,333 of our 5,889,533 issued and outstanding common shares are held by “affiliates” of the Company and the remaining shares are either registered or may be transferred subject to the requirements of Rule 144. We have not agreed to register any additional outstanding shares of our common stock under the Securities Act.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
Overview
The Company has been engaged since 2004 in the business of asset management and sales of high-end computerized networking equipment to emerging high technology companies. The focus of the Company’s business is to facilitate the liquidation of high-end networking equipment and information technology assets by businesses which are ceasing operations and to resell these assets to evolving technology companies at a fraction of the original cost. In this respect, the Company provides a valuable service to both the financial stakeholders of the selling businesses and the purchasers.
Our Company is subject to the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by companies in the highly competitive market for information technology equipment as well as the uncertainty generally associated with the online auction market. These risks include the decline in demand for the Company’s inventory, unavailability of products at prices which will support the Company’s business plan, if at all, pricing compression in the market for new information technology equipment among major manufacturers, inability to provide appropriate service for products sold, lack of funds to purchase new inventory and inability to turn accounts receivable in a timely manner and the inability to maintain and increase the levels of traffic on our online services, among others.
4 |
Plan of Operations
a. General
The extent of our operations over the next twelve (12) months will be determined by our ability to access and purchase new inventory on terms which are attractive in the market and consistent with our business plan. As we expand our business, this will require a continuing access to additional capital, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to access such capital on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. While we cannot predict exactly what our level of activity will be over the next 12 months, past experience leads us to believe that available capital resources will not be adequate to fund working capital requirements for the 12-month period which commenced January 1, 2012.
We will attempt to not incur any cash obligations that we cannot satisfy with known resources, which are currently very limited.
The Company does not believe that period-to-period comparisons of its operating results are necessarily meaningful nor should they be relied upon as reliable indicators of future performance, thus making it difficult to accurately forecast quarterly and annual revenues and results of operations. In addition, our operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter, and year-to-year, as a result of several factors, many of which are outside our control, and any of which could materially harm our business. These factors include:
· fluctuations in the demand for high-end information technology equipment such as networking equipment and routers;
· the unpredictability of our success in any new revenue and cost reduction initiatives;
· inability to acquire new inventory on terms which will result in acceptable profit margins on sale;
· obsolescence of our inventory;
· changes in the level of traffic on our website; and
· fluctuations in marketing expenses and technology infrastructure costs.
Our revenues for the foreseeable future will remain primarily dependent on our ability to acquire inventory on a continuing basis and the demand for such information technology equipment in the marketplace and user traffic levels on our website. As aforesaid, future revenues are difficult to forecast. The Company may be unable to adjust spending quickly enough to offset any unexpected increase in demand for the product lines of the Company or a reduction in revenues in a particular quarter or year, which may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
b. Expansion Plans
Our initial activities were largely focused on the Silicon Valley market. Since Silicon Valley is the most important information technology market in the United States, we expect that this will be our principal market for the foreseeable future. We hope to expand the scope of such activities to the U.S. east coast and thereafter, assuming that domestic operations are meeting our business plans, we would hope to expand internationally, with particular focus on Asia and the ASEAN/India markets. This expansion will obviously be subject to our ability to access additional capital and establish contacts and recruit qualified personnel in the new markets. The raising of such additional capital could be on a basis which is dilutive to our then-existing shareholder base.
c. Current and Anticipated Expenses
The Company has embarked upon an effort to become a publicly-traded company and by doing so, has incurred and will continue to incur additional significant expenses for legal, accounting and related services. Once the Company becomes a public entity, subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, there will be ongoing expenses associated with the ongoing professional fees for accounting, legal and a host of other expenses for annual reports and proxy statements as well as costs to be incurred for (i) increased marketing and advertising to support any growth in sales for the Company; (ii) potential to hire additional personnel to manage and expand the Company's operations. Current monthly expenses to run the Company average approximately $5,000. Future monthly expenses will be largely dependent on available cash.

d. Officers’ Compensation and Loans
Neither Mr. Malobrodsky nor Mr. Gorodyansky has received or accrued any compensation to date and has no written contract or any commitment to receive annual compensation. Messrs. Malobrodsky and Gorodyansky have agreed to forego any salary until such time as the Company has sufficient revenues therefore and/or receives sufficient outside financing.
In the past, our founders have advanced funds to the Company as required. If, and when necessary, our founders may, at their sole option, advance funds to cover additional working capital as deemed necessary. These funds are not expected to exceed $100,000, will be evidenced by a non-interest bearing unsecured corporate note, and will be treated as loans to be repaid, if and when we have the financial resources to do so.
During fiscal year 2004, Sophia Malobrodsky made a non-interest-bearing loan advance to the Company, payable on demand, in the amount of $38,000. On January 2, 2006, the Company agreed to exchange the outstanding balance of $38,000 for 253,333 shares of the Company’s common stock ($0.15 per share). While the Company was committed to issue these shares at January 2, 2006, these shares were not physically issued until March 22, 2006 because the Company needed to increase its authorized capital and engage a transfer agent in order to facilitate the physical issuance of the shares.
During fiscal year 2005, Ilya Perlov made a non-interest-bearing loan advance to the Company, payable on demand, in the amount of $3,000. On January 2, 2006, the Company agreed to exchange the outstanding balance of $3,000 for 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock ($0.15 per share). While the Company was committed to issue these shares at January 2, 2006, these shares were not physically issued until March 22, 2006 because the Company needed to increase its authorized capital and engage a transfer agent in order to facilitate the physical issuance of the shares.
On January 2, 2006, Ms. Malobrodsky and Mr. Perlov made demand for repayment of these obligations. At the time, the Company did not have the funds available for such repayment and the obligations were deemed to be in default. At that time, the Company had not completed its private placement and there was no guarantee that it would be completed on a timely basis, if at all. As a result, Ms. Malobrodsky agreed to exchange the outstanding balance of the outstanding loan advance ($38,000) owed by the Company to her for 253,333 shares of common stock and Mr. Perlov agreed to exchange the outstanding balance of the outstanding loan advance ($3,000) owed by the Company to him for 20,000 shares of common stock, both at an exchange rate of one share for each $0.15 of debt. The $0.15 per share conversion price was negotiated at that time on an arms-length basis between Ms. Malobrodsky, Mr. Perlov and the Company which took into account a number of factors, including but not limited to (a) the conversion of obligations which had priority over common equity to a common equity position which is pari-passu with all other equity holders; (b) the illiquidity of the Company at the time (as of December 31, 2005, the Company only had $2,197 cash); (c) the Company believed that the obligations to Ms. Malobrodsky and Mr. Perlov needed to be eliminated in order to complete any private placement of common equity and (d) the Company knew that the prospective investors in the private placement would not permit any of the proceeds of such offering to be utilized for payments to the noteholders. While the Company was committed to issue these shares at January 2, 2006, these shares were not physically issued until March 22, 2006 because the Company needed to increase its authorized capital and engage a transfer agent in order to facilitate the physical issuance of the shares. The shares issued to Ms. Malobrodsky and Mr. Perlov were valued at $.75 per share and the accounting treatment of the exchange was to debit Notes Payable and credit Common Stock par value and Additional Paid-In Capital.
While we cannot predict exactly what our level of activity will be over the next 12 months, past experience leads us to believe that available capital resources will not be adequate to fund working capital requirements for the 12-month period which commenced January 1, 2012. We will therefore need to access additional capital through the issuance of additional equity and debt securities and other forms of outside funding, including additional loans from officers, directors and shareholders of the Company. There is no assurance can be accomplished to the necessary extent, if at all. (See "Liquidity").

Liquidity
As of December 31, 2011, we had $451 in cash and no other assets and a negative net working capital of $13,866.
From its inception, the Company’s basic business model has been to serve the venture capital community and the information technology firms they fund for both the acquisition of information technology equipment at prices below the factory sale pricing and the disposition/liquidation of such equipment for purposes of recovery of capital investment. The two aspects of this strategy have been (i) to purchase, at liquidation pricing, computer equipment owned by information technology firms which are either ceasing or reducing operations or are merging with other entities with a resulting duplication of equipment and (ii) to facilitate early stage information technology firms acquisition of computer equipment at prices which are less than the cost of new equipment. Venture Capital Funds have been the Company’s target market as they are the principal source of funding for companies which would be most likely to utilize the Company’s services. The key elements of the Company’s strategy are (i) identification of opportunities to acquire equipment, generally in connection with a liquidation of the assets of an information technology company; (ii) acquisition of equipment which has resale value at prices which will facilitate a margin of 40-50% on resale; (iii) access to capital to acquire equipment assets for resale; (iv) resale of the equipment through various channels in a manner which will facilitate a rapid turn-around of funding; (v) to reduce general and administrative expenses to not more than 15-20% of sales revenues and (vi) maintaining lines of communication with entities who would make decisions relating to equipment purchases and divestitures. While all of the risk factors described in this registration statement apply, the Company believes that its most significant challenge to achievement of viable, long term profitability is access to capital. The Company is essentially a cash business. The Company can acquire equipment at the most favorable basis where it can pay cash at the point of purchase. The Company believes that access to additional capital will enable it to purchase equipment on the most favorable basis and enable the Company to achieve margins within targeted ranges. The Company’s operating expenses are reasonably predictable as literally all of its sales are on a cash basis through online or other auction-type channels. Further, the Company’s operating expenses do not tend to vary in relationship to sales volume. Therefore, the Company believes that as sales volume increases, so should its margin of profit. Given its current cash position, the Company believes it is questionable whether it can manage expenditures to generate sufficient cash to support its operations for the next twelve months. In this regard, the Company’ suffered a loss of $(1,611) for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2011, while we had a negative net working capital at said date of $13,866. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, the Company’s operating activities used $475 cash and the Company’s financing activities were cash neutral. The major strategic challenge facing the Company is therefore the funding of growth—most particularly, the ability to acquire more inventory for re-sale. The Company believes that for the foreseeable future, the availability of equipment for purchase in its target markets will significantly exceed its financial resources and that the market for used information technology equipment, both in the U.S. and abroad, will continue to be strong and may even be growing. While the Company believes that it may be able to access asset-based working capital lending, this would be limited in amount and would only support current liquidity and would not be a viable source of funding for longer term growth. The Company believes that such funding can only achieved through sale of additional equity. A critical element of success in raising such funding is the liquidity of the Company’s common stock. The need for such liquidity is one of the principal reasons why the Company is seeking to become a reporting company and have its shares publicly-traded. While there are no guarantees that it can be achieved, the Company believes that such funding can be accessed in amounts which will enable the Company to achieve growth in its sales and the achievement of long term profitability.
The potential exists that our available capital resources may not be adequate to fund our working capital requirements based upon our present level of operations for the 12-month period subsequent to January 1, 2012. A shortage of capital would affect our ability to fund our working capital requirements. If we require additional capital, funds may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. In addition, if we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could dilute existing shareholders. If funds are not available, this could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
7 |
Historically, we have depended on loans from our principal shareholders and their families and acquaintances to provide us with working capital as required. We do not have any credit facilities or other commitments for debt or equity financing. No assurance can be given that financing, when needed, will be available. To date, we have had discussions with potential sources of additional funding, however, the Company does not currently have any firm commitment with respect thereto. None of our shareholders is obligated to make any loans or advances to us and there can be no assurance that any of our shareholders will continue making loans or advances to us in the future.
To meet commitments that are greater than 12 months in the future, we will have to operate our business in such a manner as produce positive cash flow and enhance our exposure in the market. There does not currently appear to be any other viable source of long-term financing except that management may consider various sources of debt and/or equity financing if same can be obtained on terms deemed reasonable to management.
Going Concern. Our independent auditors have added an explanatory paragraph to their audit issued in connection with the financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2011, relative to our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s total liabilities exceeded its total assets by $13,866. We had an accumulated deficit of $683,716 incurred through such date and recorded a loss of $1,611 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. Because our auditors have issued a going concern opinion, there is substantial uncertainty we will continue operations in which case you could lose your investment. Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next 12 months. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty about our ability to continue our business.

We had a net loss of $1,611 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 as compared with a net loss of $2,015 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010. This improvement was largely due to an increase in sales and a small decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses.
The Company’s sales in any given period is significantly affected by the working capital the Company has available for the purchase of inventory. The Company is known in Silicon Valley, California, as a liquidator of used computer equipment. The principal source of the Company’s business leads are Venture Capital firms who have invested in information technology companies which have either ceased or reduced operations or have gone through a business combination which results in the surviving company having duplicative equipment. The Company also generally monitors the information technology industry to identify target companies who might be in the market to liquidate to sell equipment. The principal limitation on the Company’s ability to purchase equipment is the availability and access to funds to complete the purchase of inventory. The Company’s sales are at least partially dependent on its ability to acquire inventory. Simply put, without inventory, the Company has nothing to sell. While the Company can technically act as a “middle-man” between the entity divesting equipment and the re-sale market without directly purchasing the equipment, it has found that it cannot achieve the margins on sales by so doing that it achieves by purchasing the equipment outright and acting as a principal on the re-sale as opposed to an agent
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to an investor in our securities.
Seasonality
Our operating results are not affected by seasonality.
Inflation
Our business and operating results are not affected in any material way by inflation.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Securities and Exchange Commission issued Financial Reporting Release No. 60, "Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies" suggesting that companies provide additional disclosure and commentary on their most critical accounting policies. In Financial Reporting Release No. 60, the Securities and Exchange Commission has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of a company's financial condition and operating results, and require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. The nature of our business generally does not call for the preparation or use of estimates. Due to the fact that the Company does not have any operating business, we do not believe that we do not have any such critical accounting policies.

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Intelligent Buying, Inc
Mountain View, CA
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Intelligent Buying, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity (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 audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 audit 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 Intelligent Buying, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations, its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Intelligent Buying, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred operating losses since inception and has a net capital deficit at December 31, 2011, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in regards to these matters is also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

(AUDITED)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business description
The financial statements presented are those of Intelligent Buying, Inc. (the “Company”). The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of California on March 22, 2004 and is in the business of acquiring high-end computer and networking equipment from resellers and end-users and then reselling this equipment at discounted prices.
Uses of estimates in the preparation of financial statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during each reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue on a gross basis when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been shipped or the services have been provided to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company reduces revenue for estimated customer returns, rotations and sales rebates when such amounts are estimable. When not estimable, The Company defers revenue until the product is sold to the end customer. The Company does not provide support on products sold unless a separate agreement for installation and setup has been entered into. The revenue from such an agreement would be reported separately as fee income if and when such services are performed, completed and accepted by the customer.
Comprehensive income
SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in financial statements. SFAS No. 130 requires that all items required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement with the same prominence as other financial statements. Comprehensive income consists of net earnings, the net unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale marketable securities, foreign currency translation adjustments, minimum pension liability adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on financial instruments qualifying for hedge accounting and is presented in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Shareholders' Equity in accordance with SFAS No. 130.During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not have any components of comprehensive income (loss) to report.

Net loss per share
Authoritative guidance on Earnings per Share requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings or loss per share (“EPS”) for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution; diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities and other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share.
Stock-based compensation
The Company has adopted the FASB standard on Share-Based Payment, which addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions. The standard eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using old standards, and generally requires instead that such transactions be accounted and recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair value. The standard is effective for public companies that file as small business issuers as of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. Depending upon the number of and terms for options that may be granted in future periods, the implementation of this standard could have a significant non-cash impact on results of operations in future periods
During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no stock options granted or outstanding.
Fair value of financial instruments. We value our financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis using the fair value hierarchy established in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.
ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, as follows:
Level 1 input, which include quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 inputs, which include observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3 inputs, which include unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the underlying asset or liability. Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar valuation techniques, as well as significant management judgment or estimation.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement, which amends the fair value guidance in ASC 820, thereby completing the joint project to achieve substantially converged fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The new guidance changes some fair value measurement principles (such as extending the Level 1 prohibition of blockage discounts to Levels 2 and 3 in the fair value hierarchy) and expands disclosure requirements, primarily for Level 3 measurements. This update will be effective for us the first quarter of 2012, applied prospectively with no early adoption permitted. We do not anticipate the requirements of the update will have any significant impact on our financial position, operating results or cash flows.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This ASU prohibits equity statement presentation of other comprehensive income, requiring instead either a single continuous operating statement or two separate, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. The new guidance does not change which components of comprehensive income are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income, or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. Also, the earnings-per-share computation based on net income does not change.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, in order to redeliberate the portion of the earlier ASU relating to presentation of reclassifications from other comprehensive income. Both updates are required for us the first quarter of 2012, applied retrospectively.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment, giving entities the option to determine qualitatively whether they can bypass the two-step goodwill impairment test in ASC 350-20, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other. Under the new guidance, if an entity chooses to perform a qualitative assessment and determines that it is more likely than not (more than 50% likelihood) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it would then perform Step 1 of the annual goodwill impairment test and, if necessary, proceed to Step 2. Otherwise, no further evaluation would be necessary. Each reporting period, the entity may choose which reporting units, if any, will use the qualitative assessment for goodwill impairment testing. This update will be effective for us for any 2012 goodwill impairment tests, with early adoption permitted. We do not anticipate the requirements of the update will have any significant impact on our financial position, operating results or cash flows, as we currently apply the existing Step 1 test for our single-reporting unit business.

Inventories
Inventories, consisting of computer and networking equipment, are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market (replacement cost).
2. INCOME TAXES
The Company recognizes deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.
The Company recorded no income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2011 due to the use of available net operating loss carryforwards. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company incurred a net loss and no tax provision was required.
Net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $684,000 at December 31, 2011 are available to offset future taxable income, if any, and expire in 2027. This results in a net deferred tax asset, assuming an effective tax rate of 34% of approximately $232,000 at December 31, 2011. A valuation allowance in the same amount has been provided to reduce the deferred tax asset, as realization of the asset is not assured.
3. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIENCY)
Preferred stock
At December 31, 2011, the Company had no shares of its preferred stock issued and outstanding. Previously issued preferred shares were converted according to their terms into 5,000,000 shares of common stock on September 16, 2010.
Common stock
At December 31, 2010, the Company had 5,889,533 shares of its common stock issued and outstanding. These shares comprised 273,333 shares issued on March 22, 2006 in exchange for certain Notes Payable (see Note 2, above), 500,000 shares issued on April 1, 2006 in consideration for certain financial advisory services and 116,200 shares issued on March 31, 2006 in connection with a private placement of common shares. Dividends may be paid on outstanding shares of common stock as declared by the Board of Directors. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, Anchorfree Wireless, Inc and AFNCA, Inc was not indebted to the Company for sales made in the ordinary course of business.
6. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principle, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, The Company has a negative net working capital of $ 13,866 as of December 31 2011 and net loss of ($1,611) and ($2,015) for years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. The Company currently has limited liquidity, and has not completed its efforts to establish a stabilized source of revenues sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time.
Management anticipates that the Company will be dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund operating expenses. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in this or any of its endeavors or become financially viable and continue as a going concern.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our principal executive and principal financial officers have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a - 15(e) and 15d - 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. They have concluded that, based on such evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2011.
(b) Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Overview
Internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company.
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. 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. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
Management has utilized the framework set forth in the report entitled "Internal Control — Integrated Framework" published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations ("COSO") of the Treadway Commission to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting and utilized the additional guidance contained in the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control over Financial Reporting - Guidance for Smaller Public Companies. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Management's Assessment
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
10 |
For the year ended December 31, 2011, our management has reassessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and has determined that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to the lack of segregation of duties to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Exchange Act and accumulated and communicated to the Company's Management, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Remediation Plan
Given the Company’s limited financial resources and limited business activities, Company Management has determined that there is nothing that the Company can do at this time to remedy the lack of segregation of duties identified above without adding increased staff and overhead. Management is sensitive to this issue and intends to take appropriate action when the Company’s financial resources permit. In addition, Management will continue to review and make necessary changes to the overall design of our internal control environment.
(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Our board of directors has adopted a code of ethics that our officers, directors and any person who may perform similar functions is subject to. Currently, Messrs Malobrodsky and Gordyansky are our only officers and directors, therefore, they are the only persons subject to the Code of Ethics. If we retain additional officers in the future to act as our principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller or persons serving similar functions, they would become subject to the Code of Ethics. The Code of Ethics does not indicate the consequences of a breach of the code. If there is a breach, the board of directors would review the facts and circumstances surrounding the breach and take action that it deems appropriate, which action may include dismissal of the employee who breached the code. Currently, since Messrs Malobrodsky and Gordyansky serve as the only directors and officers, they are responsible for reviewing their own conduct under the Code of Ethics and determining what action to take in the event of his own breach of the Code of Ethics.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Certain Relationships and Transactions with Related Persons
Eugene Malobrodsky and David Gorodyansky, the sole officers and directors of the Company, are Senior Vice President and President, respectively, of AnchorFree Wireless, Inc., a related company. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, AnchorFree Wireless, Inc. accounted for approximately 43% and 94% of the Company’s sales, respectively. Sophia Malobrodsky, a shareholder of the company holding approximately 4% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock is the mother of Eugene Malobrodsky, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Royce Diener, an owner of 4,000 shares of common stock of the Company is the father of the Company’s counsel, Robert L. B. Diener.
As of December 31, 2011, the Company owes approximately $6,958 to AnchorFree Wireless, Inc., a company controlled by the principal shareholders and officers of the Company. These amounts represent short-term advances in the ordinary course of business and fluctuate significantly. This amount will be used to offset future purchases by AnchorFree Wireless, Inc.
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
1. On March 22, 2004, the Company issued 10,000 shares of common stock to each of the Company’s founders, Eugene Malobrodsky and David Gorodyansky for a cash consideration of $200. At the time, the founders became the sole shareholders of the Company.
2. During fiscal year 2004, Sophia Malobrodsky made a non-interest-bearing loan advance to the Company, payable on demand, in the amount of $38,000. On January 2, 2006. the Company agreed to exchange the outstanding balance of $38,000 for 253,333 shares of the Company’s common stock ($0.15 per share). While the Company was committed to issue these shares at January 2, 2006, these shares were not physically issued until March 22, 2006 because the Company needed to increase its authorized capital and engage a transfer agent in order to facilitate the physical issuance of the shares.
During fiscal year 2005, Ilya Perlov made a non-interest-bearing loan advance to the Company, payable on demand, in the amount of $3,000. Mr. Perlov is an employee of the Company. On January 2, 2006. the Company agreed to exchange the outstanding balance of $3,000 for 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock ($0.15 per share). While the Company was committed to issue these shares at January 2, 2006, these shares were not physically issued until March 22, 2006 because the Company needed to increase its authorized capital and engage a transfer agent in order to facilitate the physical issuance of the shares.

On January 2, 2006, Ms. Malobrodsky and Mr. Perlov made demand for repayment of these obligations. At the time, the Company did not have the funds available for such repayment and the obligations were deemed to be in default. At that time, the Company had not completed its private placement and there was no guarantee that it would be completed on a timely basis, if at all. As a result, Ms. Malobrodsky agreed to exchange the outstanding balance of the outstanding loan advance ($38,000) owed by the Company to her for 253,333 shares of common stock and Mr. Perlov agreed to exchange the outstanding balance of the outstanding loan advance ($3,000) owed by the Company to him for 20,000 shares of common stock, both at an exchange rate of one share for each $0.15 of debt. The $0.15 per share conversion price was negotiated at that time on an arms-length basis between Ms. Malobrodsky, Mr. Perlov and the Company which took into account a number of factors, including but not limited to (a) the conversion of obligations which had priority over common equity to a common equity position which is pari-passu with all other equity holders; (b) the illiquidity of the Company at the time (as of December 31, 2005, the Company only had $2,197 cash); (c) the Company believed that the obligations to Ms. Malobrodsky and Mr. Perlov needed to be eliminated in order to complete any private placement of common equity and (d) the Company knew that the prospective investors in the private placement would not permit any of the proceeds of such offering to be utilized for payments to the noteholders. While the Company was committed to issue these shares at January 2, 2006, these shares were not physically issued until March 22, 2006 because the Company needed to increase its authorized capital and engage a transfer agent in order to facilitate the physical issuance of the shares. The shares issued to Ms. Malobrodsky and Mr. Perlov were valued at $.75 per share and the accounting treatment of the exchange was to debit Notes Payable and credit Common Stock par value and Additional Paid-In Capital.
3. On April 1, 2006, the company issued 500,000 shares of common stock to Altitude Group, LLC pursuant to the terms of a Financial Services Agreement entered into by the Company on said date. The term of the Agreement is for a period commencing March 22, 2006 and ending on March 21, 2008 and may only be extended upon the mutual written agreement of the Parties. In consideration for Altitude providing the services set forth in the Agreement, the Company was obligated to issue to Altitude 500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock of the Company. The Company has valued the services provided and to be provided by Altitude as $375,000 which was recorded as an expense in the Company’s quarter ended June 30, 2006. This valuation was determined in accordance with FASB 123—Accounting for Stock-based Compensation.
4. On March 22, 2006, the Company exchanged 1,250,000 shares of its preferred stock for the 10,000 shares of common stock held by each of the Company’s founders, Eugene Malobrodsky and David Gorodyansky. The 20,000 common shares exchanged by the founders were originally purchased for $200 cash.
5. On September 16, 2010, all 2,500,00 shares of preferred stock were converted into 5,000,000 shares of common stock. Thereafter, no shares of preferred stock remained issued and outstanding

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES
We do not have a separate audit committee. Our full board of directors performs the functions of an audit committee. Before an independent auditor is engaged by us to render audit or non-audit services, our board of directors pre-approves the engagement. Board of directors pre-approval of audit and non-audit services will not be required if the engagement for the services is entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by our board of directors regarding our engagement of the independent auditor, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, our board of directors is informed of each service provided, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of our board of directors' responsibilities under the Exchange Act to our management. Our board of directors may delegate to one or more designated members of our board of directors the authority to grant pre-approvals, provided such approvals are presented to the board of directors at a subsequent meeting. If our board of directors elects to establish pre-approval policies and procedures regarding non-audit services, the board of directors must be informed of each non-audit service provided by the independent auditor. Board of directors pre-approval of non-audit services, other than review and attest services, also will not be required if such services fall within available exceptions established by the SEC. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, 100% of audit-related services, tax services and other services performed by our independent auditors were pre-approved by our board of directors.
Our board has considered whether the services described above under the caption "All Other Fees", which are currently none, is compatible with maintaining the auditor's independence.
The board approved all fees described above.
