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”). In March 2010, the Company 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.  In March 2011, the Company signed another distribution agreement with Vanguard granting the exclusive worldwide rights to sell, license, sub-license, and distribute FOUR STORIES OF ST. JULIAN with the exception of the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico, which Vanguard licensed in the above mentioned agreement. The Company licensed all media rights to Vanguard including Home Video, DVD, VOD, Broadcast Television, Satellite Television, Cable Television, Hospitality Television, Educational, Institutional, Theatrical, Pay Per View, IP, and mobile. The Company seeks new film projects and plans to begin pre-production of another film project within the next twelve months.

Distribution Methods of the Products or Services

Through its relationship with Circus Road Films, Vanguard Cinema and others, the Company distributes and/or licenses St. Julian to worldwide film distributors and retailers.

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 has signed two agreements with Vanguard conveying worldwide rights 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.

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, St. Julian, and has signed two distribution agreements for the Film with Vanguard Cinema.  One of the agreements grants the exclusive right to distribute the film in all DVD, digital and television markets in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada. The other agreement conveys worldwide media rights to Vanguard including Home Video, DVD, VOD, Broadcast Television, Satellite Television, Cable Television, Hospitality Television, Educational, Institutional, Theatrical, Pay Per View, IP, and mobile. The Company 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, 2011 resulted in a net loss of ($38,541).  The year ended June 30, 2010, resulted in a net loss of ($96,027).

The basic loss per share for the year ended June 30, 2011, was ($0.02) and a loss per share of ($0.04) for the year ended June 30, 2010. Details of changes in revenues and expenses can be found below.

Revenues

The Company has generated $1,019 in revenue from St. Julian from domestic U.S. sales.  The Film was released in domestic U.S. markets in August 2010. The Company plans to begin receiving revenue associated with the distribution and/or licensing of the Film in various international markets within the next twelve months; however, the Company cannot predict the amount of revenue it will receive from the distribution of the Film in either domestic or foreign markets.

 
10
 
 


Operating Expenses

Operating expense for the year ended June 30, 2011, decreased to $38,541 compared to $94,027 for the year ended June 30, 2010. The decrease 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, 2011, was $3,475, compared to $1,915 for the year ended June 30, 2010. The outstanding Notes Payable balances were higher in the year ended June 30, 2011; therefore, the Company incurred greater interest expenses in 2011 compared with 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Balance Sheet Information:

The following information is a summary of our balance sheet as of June 30, 2011:

Summary Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2011
 
Total Current Assets
  $ 1,118  
Total Assets
    13,530  
Total Liabilities
    66,113  
Accumulated Deficit
    (199,795 )
Total Stockholders’ Deficit
    (52,583 )

As of June 30, 2011, our total current assets were $1,118 and consisted of cash and accounts receivable.

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 and a shareholder have agreed to advance the Company, through line of credit agreements, and its existing cash balance of $99, as of June 30, 2011, 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 $100,000, the Company should have sufficient funds to continue to operate over the next twelve months.  If the Company needs funds in excess of these lines, 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, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and for the period from inception [April 25, 2007] through June 30, 2011.  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, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and for the period from inception [April 25, 2007] through June 30, 2011 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, 2011

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.

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, 2011 and 2010, we did not have any interest or penalties relating to income taxes.

(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 $99 cash at June 30, 2011.

(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 years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $0.

NOTE 1   ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
[continued]

(g) Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from the distribution of its films when earned and reported to it by its distributor, Vanguard International Cinema.  The Company recognizes revenues derived from its feature films net of reserves for returns, rebates and other incentives after the distributor has retained a distribution fee as a percentage of revenue.

Because a third party is the principal distributor of the Company’s films, the amount of revenue that is recognized from films in any given period is dependent on the timing, accuracy and sufficiency of the information received from the distributor.  As is typical in the film industry, the distributor may make adjustments in future periods to information previously provided to the Company that could have a material impact on the Company’s operating results in later periods.  Furthermore, management may, in its judgment, make material adjustments in future periods to the information reported by the distributor to ensure that revenues are accurately reflected in the Company’s financial statements.  To date, the distributor has not made subsequent, nor has the Company made, material adjustments to information provided by the distributor and used in the preparation of the Company’s historical financial statements.

(h) Accounts Receivable

The Company records an account receivable for revenue earned but net yet collected.  If the Company determines any account to be uncollectible based on significant delinquency or other factors, it is immediately written off.  An allowance for bad debts is provided based on estimated losses.  The Company believes all accounts to be fully collectible as of June 30, 2011.

(i) Long-Lived Assets

The Company assesses impairment of long-lived assets whenever there is an indication that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted cash flows generated by those assets to the assets' net carrying value. The amount of impairment loss, if any, is measured as the difference between the net book value of the assets and the estimated fair value of the related assets. As a result of the Company’s analysis, an impairment charge of $11,394 and $75,323 was recorded at June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

(j) Impact of New Accounting Standards

Fair Value Measurement – In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. This new guidance amends current fair value measurement and disclosure guidance to include increased transparency around valuation inputs and investment categorization. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not believe the adoption of the new guidance will have an impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2011

NOTE 1   ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
[continued]

Comprehensive Income – In June 2011, the FASB issued new guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. Specifically, the new guidance allows an entity to present components of net income or other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements. The new guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. While the new guidance changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current accounting guidance. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not believe the adoption of the new guidance will have an impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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

NOTE 2 LIQUIDITY/GOING CONCERN

The Company has accumulated losses from inception through June 30, 2011 of ($199,795), 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, 2011:

    $ 12,412     $ 24,825  
                 

During the year ended June 30, 2011, 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 $11,394 on the film.

Uncertain Tax Positions

The Company has not made any adjustments to deferred tax assets or liabilities.  The Company 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 a Net Operating Loss as disclosed above.  Since the Company cannot estimate whether the 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 2011 is presented in the table below:

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

None.

ITEM 9A.  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

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, 2011.  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, 2011, 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.
