Business

Principal Products or Services and Their Markets

4th Grade is an independent film production company. The Company is engaged in developing content, securing financing, producing, marketing and distributing films within the independent film community. The Company focuses on independent film projects with budgets ranging from $25,000 to $250,000. Independent films are often distinguishable by their content or style where the writer or director’s original authorial intent or personal creative vision is usually maintained in the final film. Additionally, the term “independent film” is typically used to describe less commercially driven art films which are significantly different from the norms of plot-driven, mainstream traditional “Hollywood” cinema.

Current Film Projects

4th Grade developed, financed and produced a feature-length film, FOUR STORIES OF ST. JULIAN (the “Film” or “St. Julian”). The company recently signed a distribution agreement for FOUR STORIES OF ST. JULIAN with Vanguard Cinema and granting the exclusive right to distribute the film in all DVD, digital and television markets in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada. The Company continues to seek distribution or licensing of its film in further international markets including Europe and Asia.  In addition to seeking further distribution for the Film, 4th Grade seeks new film projects and plans to begin pre-production of another film project within the next twelve months.

For further information on the Company’s operations, see Part II, Item 7, Plan of Operation.

Distribution Methods of the Products or Services

Through its relationship with Circus Road Films, Vanguard Cinema and others, the Company seeks to distribute and/or license FOUR STORIES OF ST. JULIAN to domestic market retailers and international markets.

Competitive Business Conditions and Smaller Reporting Company's Competitive Position in the Industry and Methods of Competition

The film production industry is highly competitive.  Competition ranges from start-up production companies, like 4th Grade, to billion-dollar, multi-national conglomerates.  The Company is positioned within the industry as an independent producer of film content.

4th Grade faces competition from both within the independent filmmaking community and the broader film industry. In addition to the large studios there are thousands of smaller productions companies that produce either studio-backed or independent films. The Company’s strategy is to market specifically to the direct-to-video and wholly electronic distribution channels. The Company believes that its primary competition in the direct-to-video and electronic distribution channels are other independent filmmakers and smaller production companies. However many large film studios and production companies are marketing their film projects in the direct-to-video and electronic channels due to the lower marketing costs involved in distribution through these channels. Given the low barriers to entry, virtually all filmmakers can become the Company’s competition in the direct-to-video and electronic distribution space.

Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers

Currently the Company’s financial success relies on the success of the Company’s film content.  Currently the Company’s only produced content is St. Julian and the Company only has one distributor engaged to distribute the Film.

Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements or Labor Contracts, including Duration

Other than possibly applying for a trademark on the Company’s name, 4th Grade Films, Inc., the Company does not foresee filing any applications for patents or licenses.

Other than an agreement with Savage Pictures, LLC (“Savage Pictures”), a Utah limited liability company, whereby Savage is entitled to receive ten percent (10%) of the net proceeds from St. Julian, the Company does not plan to execute any franchise, concession, royalty agreements or labor contracts. Savage Pictures will receive 10% of St. Julian’s net proceeds, which shall take into account deductions including without limitation, production costs, post-productions costs, and marketing costs. The Company will provide Savage Pictures with annual reports and make payments according to these reports, provided that a report need not be issued if St. Julian has not accumulated revenue in the reporting period. The agreement with Savage was executed and effective as of February 20, 2008.

Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on the Business

Exchange Act

We are subject to the following regulations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and applicable securities laws, rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act by the SEC.  Compliance with these requirements of the Exchange Act will also substantially increase our legal and accounting costs.

Smaller Reporting Company

We are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 of the Exchange Act, and subject to the disclosure requirements of Regulation S-K of the SEC, as a “smaller reporting company.”  That designation will relieve us of some of the informational requirements of Regulation S-K.

Sarbanes/Oxley Act

We are also subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  The Sarbanes/Oxley Act created a strong and independent accounting oversight board to oversee the conduct of auditors of public companies and strengthens auditor independence.  It also requires steps to enhance the direct responsibility of senior members of management for financial reporting and for the quality of financial disclosures made by public companies; establishes clear statutory rules to limit, and to expose to public view, possible conflicts of interest affecting securities analysts; creates guidelines for audit committee members’ appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of public companies’ auditors; management assessment of our internal controls; prohibits certain insider trading during pension fund blackout periods; requires companies and auditors to evaluate internal controls and procedures; and establishes a federal crime of securities fraud, among other provisions. Compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes/Oxley Act will substantially increase our legal and accounting costs.  The cost to develop, document and implement the internal control and disclosure procedures required under the Sarbanes/Oxley Act cost the Company approximately $3,000.

Exchange Act Reporting Requirements

Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act requires all companies with securities registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act to comply with the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding proxy solicitations, as outlined in Regulation 14A.  Matters submitted to stockholders at a special or annual meeting thereof or pursuant to a written consent will require us to provide our stockholders with the information outlined in Schedules 14A (where proxies are solicited) or 14C (where consents in writing to the action have already been received or anticipated to be received) of Regulation 14, as applicable; and preliminary copies of this information must be submitted to the SEC at least 10 days prior to the date that definitive copies of this information are forwarded to our stockholders.

We are also required to file annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission on a regular basis, and will be required to timely disclose certain material events (e.g., changes in corporate control; acquisitions or dispositions of a significant amount of assets other than in the ordinary course of business; and bankruptcy) in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

Research and Development Costs During the Last Two Fiscal Years

None; not applicable.

Cost and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws

None; not applicable.

Number of Total Employees and Number of Full Time Employees

Other than the Company’s three executive officers and directors, the Company has no employees.  Effective as of April 1, 2008, the Company’s officers and directors resolved to suspend the payment of salaries until the Company generates positive operating cash flow.  Salaries will be reinstated once the Company generates positive operating cash flow on a quarterly basis.

Reports to Security Holders

You may read and copy any materials that we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. You may also find all of the reports that we have filed electronically with the SEC at their internet site www.sec.gov

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

We are not required to provide risk factors; however, we are subject to all of the risks inherent in a small company like ours, which has limited cash resources and a limited public market for our outstanding shares.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

4th Grade’s executive officer currently provides office space, use of telephone lines and computer systems to the Company. The Company accrues a liability to the Company’s President, James Doolin, at $75 per month for use of the office space, telephone and computer systems.  The Company used an allocation method of these expenses estimated by the Company. The Company estimates that if these expenses were recorded on a stand-alone basis the Company would incur $225 per quarter in expenses.  In addition, the Company leases a mail box for approximately $150 per year.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

None.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

We have not submitted a matter to a vote of our shareholders during the year ended June 30, 2010.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities; Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities

We have sold no unregistered securities during the period covered by this Annual Report; however, the following indicates information about all securities issued by us since inception:

On or about April 25, 2007, the Company issued 745,000 common shares to the Company’s former parent, Hangman Productions, Inc., for expenses incurred by Hangman Productions, Inc., for incorporating the Company.

On or about May 15, 2007, the Company offered a no minimum and a 30,000 share maximum of its Preferred Stock, Series A, at a price of $3.00 per share pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company completed the offering on or about June 1, 2007, selling all 30,000 shares for gross proceeds of $90,000. These proceeds were used to commence operations and begin production of St. Julian. On August 31, 2008, all 30,000 shares outstanding of the Preferred Stock, Series A, were converted into 300,000 shares of Common Stock - one (1) preferred share for ten (10) shares of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock.

On May 20, 2008, the Company completed another offering.  The Company offered 1,300,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.04 per share. This offering was conducted under Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  This offering was subsequently closed May 31, 2008, with the Company having sold a total of 1,300,000 shares for gross proceeds of $52,000.

We issued these securities to persons who were either “accredited investors,” or “sophisticated investors” who, by reason of education, business acumen, experience or other factors, were fully capable of evaluating the risks and merits of an investment in us; and each had prior access to all material information about us. We believe that the offer and sale of these securities was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Sections 4(2) and 4(6) thereof, and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Section 18 of the Securities Act preempts state registration requirements for sales to these classes of persons.

Use of Proceeds of Registered Securities

We have no proceeds from the sale of registered securities.

ITEM 6.  SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

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

Forward-Looking Statements

When used in this Annual Report, the words “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “continue,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27a of the Securities Act and Section 21e of the Exchange Act regarding events, conditions, and financial trends that may affect the 4th Grade Films’ future plans of operations, business strategy, operating results, and financial position.  Persons reviewing this Annual Report are cautioned that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties and that actual results may differ materially from those included within the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.  Such factors are discussed further below under “Trends and Uncertainties”, and also include general economic factors and conditions that may directly or indirectly impact our financial condition or results of operations.

Plan of Operation

The Company’s plan of operations for the next 12 months is to continue with its current efforts in the independent film production arena.  4th Grade has been involved in the film production primarily focused on developing, financing, producing, marketing and distributing film content within the independent film market.

4th Grade produced a feature-length film, FOUR STORIES OF ST. JULIAN (the “Film” or “St. Julian”). The company recently signed a distribution agreement for FOUR STORIES OF ST. JULIAN with Vanguard Cinema and granting the exclusive right to distribute the film in all DVD, digital and television markets in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada. The Company continues to seek distribution or licensing of its film in further international markets including Europe and Asia.  In addition to seeking further distribution for the Film, 4th Grade seeks new film projects and plans to begin pre-production of another film project within the next twelve months.

Results of Operations

Overview

The year ended June 30, 2010 resulted in a net loss of ($96,027).  The year ended June 30, 2009, resulted in a net loss of ($29,105).

The basic loss per share for the year ended June 30, 2010, was ($0.04) and a loss per share of ($0.01) for the year ended June 30, 2009. Details of changes in revenues and expenses can be found below.

Revenues

The Company has not generated any revenue since inception.  The Company signed a distribution agreement for St. Julian in March 2010. The Film will be released in August 2010. The Company plans to begin receiving revenue associated with the film within three months following the release of the Film; however, the Company cannot predict the amount of revenue it will receive from the distribution of the Film.

Operating Expenses

Operating expense for the year ended June 30, 2010, increased to $94,012 compared to $28,088 for the year ended June 30, 2009. The increase can be attributed to the impairment of the unamortized film costs of $75,323 incurred during the 12 month period ended June 30, 2010.

Interest Expenses

Interest expense for the year ended June 30, 2010, was $1,915, compared to $917 for the year ended June 30, 2009. The outstanding Notes Payable balances were higher in the year ended June 30, 2010; therefore, the Company incurred greater interest expenses in 2010 compared with 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Balance Sheet Information:

The following information is a summary of our balance sheet as of June 30, 2010:

Summary Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2010
Total Current Assets
$1,455
Total Assets
26,280
Total Liabilities
40,322
Accumulated Deficit
(161,254)
Total Stockholders’ Deficit
(14,042)

 
10
 
 

As of June 30, 2010, our total current assets were $1,455 and consisted of cash and prepaid expenses.

Because the Company has accumulated losses since inception, has minimal assets, and has limited sales activity the Company’s auditor believes that these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  With monies that the Company’s management has agreed to advance the Company and its existing cash balance of $830, as of June 30, 2010, the Company deems that it has adequate resources for the Company’s planned operations for the next 12 months.

Management anticipates average monthly expenditures to range between $1,000 and $1,500 per month.  Management is unable to forecast the revenue that the Film will generate, but given the fact that the Company’s management has agreed to advance the Company monies not to exceed $50,000, the Company should have sufficient funds to continue to operate over the next twelve months.  If the Company needs funds in excess of $50,000, it will be up to the Company’s management to raise such monies.  These funds may be raised as either debt or equity, but management does not have any plans or relationships currently in place to raise such funds.  There can be no assurance that such additional funding, if needed, will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to generate revenue and to manage the Company’s expenses.  Management will continue to seek to exploit opportunities to enhance the value of the Company and its profitability.

Funding Through Private Placements

The Company has completed the following three transactions to finance its formation and operations:

(1) On or about April 25, 2007, the Company issued 745,000 common shares to the Company’s former parent, Hangman Productions, Inc., for expenses incurred by Hangman Productions, Inc., for incorporating the Company.

(2) On or about May 15, 2007, the Company offered a no minimum and a 30,000 share maximum of its Preferred Stock, Series A, at a price of $3.00 per share pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company completed the offering on or about June 1, 2007, selling all 30,000 shares for gross proceeds of $90,000. These proceeds were used to commence operations and begin production of St. Julian. On August 31, 2008, all 30,000 shares outstanding of the Preferred Stock, Series A, were converted into 300,000 shares of Common Stock - one (1) preferred share for ten (10) shares of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock.

(3) On May 20, 2008, the Company completed another offering.  The Company offered 1,300,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.04 per share. This offering was conducted under Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  This offering was subsequently closed May 31, 2008, with the Company having sold a total of 1,300,000 shares for gross proceeds of $52,000.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


The Board of Directors and Shareholders
4th Grade Films, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of 4th Grade Films, Inc. [a development stage company] as of June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 and for the period from inception [April 25, 2007] through June 30, 2010.  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.  The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit 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 purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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 provides 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 4th Grade Films, Inc. (a development stage company) as of June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 and for the period from inception [April 25, 2007] through June 30, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has accumulated losses, minimal assets, negative working capital, and is still developing its planned principal operations.  These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

4th Grade Films, Inc.
[A Development Stage Company]
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2010

NOTE 1   ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Organization

4th Grade Films, Inc. (Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Utah on April 25, 2007. 4th Grade is an independent film production company. The Company is engaged in developing, financing, producing, marketing and distributing film content.

(b) Income Taxes

The Company applies the provisions of FASB Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 740 Income Taxes. The Statement requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes, and the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled.  A valuation allowance is provided if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

(c) Net Loss Per Common Share

Loss per common share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed using weighted average number of common shares plus dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method.  There are no common stock equivalents outstanding, thus, basic and diluted loss per share calculations are the same.

(d) Statement of Cash Flows

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers cash on deposit in the bank to be cash.  The Company had $830 cash at June 30, 2010.

(e) Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements

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

(f) Advertising

Advertising Costs are expensed as incurred. The total advertising expense for the year ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $0.

(g) Impact of New Accounting Standards

Effective July 1, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 105-10, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - Overall ("ASC 105-10"), which was formerly known as SFAS 168. ASC 105-10 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the "Codification") as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants.  All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority.


 
18
 
 

The Codification superseded all existing non-SEC  accounting and reporting standards and all other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts.  Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates ("ASUs").  The FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right.  ASUs will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the basis of conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification.  References made to FASB guidance throughout this document have been updated for the Codification.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-13 for Revenue Recognition – Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (Subtopic 605-25) “Subtopic”. This accounting standard update establishes the accounting and reporting guidance for arrangements under which the vendor will perform multiple revenue – generating activities. Vendors often provide multiple products or services to their customers. Those deliverables often are provided at different points in time or over different time periods. Specifically, this Subtopic addresses how to separate deliverables and how to measure and allocate arrangement consideration to one or more units of accounting.  The amendments in this guidance will affect the accounting and reporting for all vendors that enter into multiple-deliverable arrangements with their customers when those arrangements are within the scope of this Subtopic.  This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Earlier adoption is permitted. If a vendor elects early adoption and the period of adoption is not the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year, the entity will apply the amendments under this Subtopic retrospectively from the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year.  The presentation and disclosure requirements shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. Currently, Management believes this Statement will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company once adopted.

The Company has reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards in order to determine their effects, if any, on its condensed consolidated financial statements. Based on that review, the Company believes that none of these pronouncements will have a significant effect on its current or future consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 LIQUIDITY/GOING CONCERN

The Company has accumulated losses from inception through June 30, 2010 of ($161,254), has minimal assets, and has negative working capital.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  These factors may have potential adverse effects on the Company including the ceasing of operations. Management plans include developing film production opportunities or finding a well capitalized merger candidate to commence operations.  If management is unsuccessful in these efforts, discontinuance of operations is possible.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 3 FILM COSTS

Film costs consisted of the following as of June 30, 2010:

Films:
     
       
Released
  $ -  
Completed, not released
    24,825  
In production
    -  
In development, or pre-production
    -  
         
Total
  $ 24,825  

During the year, management determined that the unamortized costs of the film exceeded the net realizable value for the film. Accordingly, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $75,323 on the film.

The Company’s valuation allowance has increased $19,220 during the year ended June 30, 2010. The income/franchise tax payable at June 30, 2010 of $100 is the minimum tax due to the State of Utah for the year ended June 30, 2010.

The following is a summary of federal net operating loss carryforwards and their expiration dates:

Uncertain Tax Positions

We have not made any adjustments to deferred tax assets or liabilities.  We did not identify any material uncertain tax positions of the Company on returns that have been filed or that will be filed.  The Company has not had operations and is carrying a large Net Operating Loss as disclosed above.  Since it is not thought that this Net Operating Loss will ever produce a tax benefit, even if examined by taxing authorities and disallowed entirely, there would be no effect on the financial statements.

A reconciliation of our unrecognized tax benefits for 2010 is presented in the table below:

Balance as of July 1, 2009
     
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year
  $ -  
Additions based on tax positions related to prior year
    -  
Reductions for tax positions of prior years
    -  
Reductions due to expiration of statute of limitations
    -  
Settlements with taxing authorities
    -  
Balance as of June 30, 2010
  $ -  

The Company’s policy is to recognize potential interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits within general and administrative expenses for penalties and interest expense for interest. For the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we did not recognize any interest or penalties, nor did we have any interest or penalties accrued as of June 30, 2010 and 2009 relating to unrecognized benefits.

The tax years ended June 30, 2007, through 2010 are open for examination for federal income tax purposes and by other major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject.

NOTE 5 EQUITY

On or about April 25, 2007, the Company issued 745,000 common shares to the Company’s former parent, Hangman Productions, Inc., for expenses incurred by Hangman Productions, Inc., for incorporating the Company.

On or about May 15, 2007, the Company offered a no minimum and a 30,000 share maximum of its Preferred Stock, Series A, at a price of $3.00 per share pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company completed the offering on or about June 1, 2007, selling all 30,000 shares for gross proceeds of $90,000. These proceeds were used to commence operations and begin production of St. Julian. On August 31, 2008, all 30,000 shares outstanding of the Preferred Stock, Series A, were converted into 300,000 shares of Common Stock - one (1) preferred share for ten (10) shares of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock.

On May 20, 2008, the Company completed another offering.  The Company offered 1,300,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.04 per share.

ITEM 9A(T).  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report.  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report were effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.  A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.  Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act).  Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010.  In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation, our management, with the participation of the President and Secretary/Treasurer, concluded that, as of June 30, 2010, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal controls over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the permanent exemption for non-accelerated filers from the internal control audit requirement of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting.
