Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. We generally use words such as "believe," "may," "could," "will," "intend," "expect," "anticipate," "plan," and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks described below and elsewhere in this report. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, they relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made, and our future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements may not meet these expectations. We do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this document to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations, except as required by law.
History
Roadships Holdings, Inc (“Roadships”, “RDSH”, “The Company”, “we’ or “us”) was formed in Delaware on June 5, 2006 as Caddystats, Inc.
On March 3, 2009, the owners of Roadships Holdings, Inc., a Florida Corporation (“Roadships Florida”), and Roadships America, Inc., also a Florida Corporation (“Roadships Am”), both privately held companies, exchanged all of their outstanding shares of common stock in the companies for 16,025,000 shares of common stock of Caddystats, Inc. (“Caddystats”), a public company, representing approximately 100% of the outstanding common shares of the Company. Upon consummation of the exchange transaction (the “Transaction”), Caddystats changed its name to Roadships Holdings, Inc. and increased the number of authorized common stock to 1,000,000,000 shares As a result of the transaction, Roadships Florida and Roadships Am (the “Companies”) are now wholly-owned subsidiaries of Caddystats. In essence, Roadships and Roadships Am merged into a public shell company with no or nominal remaining operations; and no or nominal assets and liabilities.
In accordance with Financial Accounting guidance related to business combinations (“Topic 805”), the companies are considered the accounting acquirer in the exchange transaction. Because the companies owners as a group retained or received the larger portion of the voting rights in the combined entity and the Companies senior management represents a majority of the senior management of the combined entity, the Companies are considered the acquirer for accounting purposes and will account for the transaction as a reverse acquisition. The acquisition will be accounted for as a recapitalization, since at the time of the transaction, Caddystats was a company with no or nominal operations, assets and liabilities. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in future consolidated financial statements will be those of the Companies and will be recorded at its historical cost basis. The financial statements have been prepared as if Roadships and Roadships Am had always been the reporting company and, on the share transaction date, changed its name and reorganized its capital stock.
On February 25, 2009, the board of directors approved a 5:1 Forward Split of the corporation’s common stock. On June 15, 2009, the board of directors approved a 1.97576614:1 stock dividend issued to the shareholders of the Company’s common stock. All information in this Form 10-K has been adjusted to reflect the forward split as if it took place as of the earliest period reported.
As discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements, we attempted to acquire Reefco Logistics, Inc. (“Reefco”), a North Carolina corporation. However, we were unable to consummate the transaction. By mutual agreement, the acquisition was voided.

Our Business
Roadships is an emerging company in the short-sea and ground freight industry sectors operating through its wholly owned subsidiaries in the United States and Australia.
We have acquired several domestic and foreign subsidiaries to facilitate our entry into these markets.
In the United States, Roadships Acquisitions US, Inc. is our subsidiary designated to identify and act upon synergistic acquisition targets in North America. Roadships America, Inc, was established to develop and accommodate organic growth within the North America markets.
On May 25, 2009, we acquired Roadships Acquisitions Pty, Ltd. a corporation formed under the laws of Australia, which we expect to use to identify and act upon synergistic acquisition targets in Australia and the surrounding area.
On June 15, 2009, we acquired Endeavour Logistics Pty. Ltd., to establish to develop and accommodate organic growth within the Australia markets.
Government Regulation and Environmental Information
We expect that government regulations and laws will significantly affect the ownership and operation of our vessels. We will be subject to international conventions, national, state and local laws and regulations in force in the countries in which our vessels may operate or be registered. Compliance with such laws, regulations and other requirements entails significant expense, including vessel modifications and implementation of certain operating procedures.
International Maritime Organization
The International Maritime Organization, or IMO (the United Nations agency for maritime safety and the prevention of pollution by ships), has adopted the International Convention for the Prevention of Marine Pollution from Ships, 1973, as modified by the Protocol of 1978 relating thereto, which has been updated through various amendments, or the MARPOL Convention. The MARPOL Convention implements environmental standards including oil leakage or spilling, garbage management, as well as the handling and disposal of noxious liquids, harmful substances in packaged forms, sewage and air emissions.
Air Emissions
In September 1997, the IMO adopted Annex VI to the MARPOL Convention, Regulations for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, to address air pollution from vessels. Effective in May 2005, Annex VI sets limits on sulfur oxide and nitrogen oxide emissions from all commercial vessel exhausts and prohibits deliberate emissions of ozone depleting substances (such as halons and chlorofluorocarbons), emissions of volatile compounds from cargo tanks, and the shipboard incineration of specific substances. Annex VI also includes a global cap on the sulfur content of fuel oil and allows for special areas to be established with more stringent controls on sulfur emissions.
In October 2008, the IMO adopted amendments to Annex VI regarding nitrogen oxide and sulfur oxide emissions standards which are expected to enter into force on July 1, 2010. The amended Annex VI would reduce air pollution from vessels by, among other things, (i) implementing a progressive reduction of sulfur oxide, emissions from ships, with the global sulfur cap reduced initially to 3.50% (from the current cap of 4.50%), effective from January 1, 2012, then progressively to 0.50%, effective from January 1, 2020, subject to a feasibility review to be completed no later than 2018; and (ii) establishing new tiers of stringent nitrogen oxide emissions standards for new marine engines, depending on their date of installation. Once these amendments become effective, we may incur costs to comply with these revised standards.

Safety Requirements
The IMO has also adopted the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, or SOLAS Convention, and the International Convention on Load Lines, 1966, or LL Convention, which impose a variety of standards to regulate design and operational features of ships. SOLAS Convention and LL Convention standards are revised periodically.
Under Chapter IX of SOLAS, the requirements contained in the International Safety Management Code for the Safe Operation of Ships and for Pollution Prevention, or ISM Code, promulgated by the IMO, also affect our operations. The ISM Code requires the party with operational control of a vessel to develop an extensive safety management system that includes, among other things, the adoption of a safety and environmental protection policy setting forth instructions and procedures for operating its vessels safely and describing procedures for responding to emergencies. We intend to rely upon the safety management system that we will develop when we are operational.
The ISM Code requires that vessel operators obtain a safety management certificate for each vessel they operate. This certificate evidences compliance by a vessel’s management with code requirements for a safety management system. No vessel can obtain a certificate unless its manager has been awarded a document of compliance, issued by each flag state, under the ISM Code.
Noncompliance with the ISM Code and other IMO regulations may subject the shipowner or bareboat charterer to increased liability, may lead to decreases in available insurance coverage for affected vessels and may result in the denial of access to, or detention in, some ports. The U.S. Coast Guard and European Union authorities have indicated that vessels not in compliance with the ISM Code by the applicable deadlines will be prohibited from trading in U.S. and European Union ports, as the case may be.
Ballast Water Requirements
The IMO adopted an International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments, or the BWM Convention, in February 2004. The BWM Convention’s implementing regulations call for a phased introduction of mandatory ballast water exchange requirements (beginning in 2009), to be replaced in time with mandatory concentration limits. The BWM Convention will not enter into force until 12 months after it has been adopted by 30 states, the combined merchant fleets of which represent not less than 35% of the gross tonnage of the world’s merchant shipping. To date there has not been sufficient adoption of this standard for it to take force.
The flag state, as defined by the United Nations Convention on Law of the Sea, has overall responsibility for the implementation and enforcement of international maritime regulations for all ships granted the right to fly its flag. The “Shipping Industry Guidelines on Flag State Performance” evaluates flag states based on factors such as sufficiency of infrastructure, ratification of international maritime treaties, implementation and enforcement of international maritime regulations, supervision of surveys, casualty investigations and participation at IMO meetings.
Anti-Fouling Requirements
In 2001, the IMO adopted the International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti-fouling Systems on Ships, or the Anti-fouling Convention. The Anti-fouling Convention prohibits the use of organotin compound coatings to prevent the attachment of mollusks and other sea life to the hulls of vessels after September 1, 2003. The exteriors of vessels constructed prior to January 1, 2003 that have not been in dry-dock must, as of September 17, 2008, either not contain the prohibited compounds or have coatings applied to the vessel exterior that act as a barrier to the leaching of the prohibited compounds. Vessels of over 400 gross tons engaged in international voyages must obtain an International Anti-fouling System Certificate and undergo a survey before the vessel is put into service or when the anti-fouling systems are altered or replaced.
The IMO continues to review and introduce new regulations. It is impossible to predict what additional regulations, if any, may be passed by the IMO and what effect, if any, such regulations might have on our operations.

Competition
The competition we expect to face is intense. The principal methods of competition in the Company’s business are service, price, experience, reputation and quality of equipment. The Company believes that its pricing will be competitive and that the quality of its services, experience and equipment will be high. Almost all of our competitors have financial resources and operating staffs substantially larger than those of the Company and, from time to time, may use those resources either to lower rates or acquire equipment which, in either case, may provide a competitive advantage over the Company.
We expect that our vessels may operate from time to time in markets in which there are more vessels than the market can support at a profitable level. While we will try to shift our tugs, barges, tankers and other vessels away from markets in which there is a surplus of capacity to markets in which the supply of and demand for vessels is more balanced, our competitors tend to engage in similar practices. Over time, these practices by our competitors may undermine the effectiveness of our efforts to deploy our vessels to more balanced markets.
Horizon Lines®.
Charlotte, North Carolina- headquartered Horizon Lines, Inc. (“Horizon”), is a domestic ocean shipping and integrated logistics company comprised of two primary operating subsidiaries: Horizon Lines, LLC and Horizon Logistics, LLC, that lays claim to 38% of the total U.S. marine container shipments between the continental U.S. and the three non-contiguous Jones Act markets, Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, Micronesia and Puerto Rico. Horizon is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the Symbol HRZ.
Crowley Lines®.
Jacksonville, Florida- headquartered Crowley Maritime Corporation (“CMC”) provides diversified transportation services in domestic and international markets by means of five operating lines of business: Liner Services, Logistics, Marine Services, Petroleum Services and Technical Services. CMC’s services include, among others, Logistics, Project Management, Vessel Construction and Naval Architecture, and Ship Management.

CMC’s land-based facilities and equipment include terminals, warehouses, tank farms, office buildings, trucks, trailers, containers, chassis, cranes and other specialized vehicles.
Trailer Bridge®.
Jacksonville, Florida- headquartered Trailer Bridge Inc (“TBI”) claims to connect all U.S. mainland points and Puerto Rico, with its twice-weekly, every week, route between Jacksonville to Puerto Rico and back again. From clothing to furniture; from appliances to heavy equipment, and everything in between, Puerto Rico shippers depend on TBI’s consistency.
TBI, an industry innovator, was the first carrier to employ its own drivers and operate its own trucks, equipment, vessels, and marine facilities.
TBI was also the first to use the 53-foot high cube container for Puerto Rico, which gave shippers over 50% more capacity than the standard 40-foot container. This larger equipment, at 3,850 cubic feet, creates more value per cubic foot; that's 3,850 cubic feet, over 40% more capacity than a 40-foot high cube container.
TBI has the largest fleet of 53-foot high cube containers available in the trade and TBI’s Triplestack Box Carriers™ are the first vessels to be built in over 15 years that were designed specifically for Puerto Rico. The combination of the Triplestack Box Carriers™ and 53-foot high cube containers translate into lower per unit shipping costs for the product and that's going to show up where it counts, on the shippers bottom line.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, other information included in this annual report and information in our other periodic reports filed with the SEC. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Risks Related to Our Business
Demand for our services is dependent on a number of factors beyond our control, which can negatively impact our operating results
Sales of our services are tied to a number of factors beyond our control, including:
·
|
Demand in the United States and Australia and elsewhere for products which are appropriate our future fleets and demand for our future customers’ products;
|
·
|
Local and international political and economic conditions and policies; and
|
·
|
Weather conditions.
|
We expect to have high fixed costs, and downtime or low productivity due to reduced demand or other causes can have a significant negative effect on our operating results.
Fluctuation of fuel prices may influence our results
Economic and political factors can affect fuel prices. The Company’s operations may be positively or adversely impacted by our ability to pass increases in fuel prices to our customers. The extent of such impact also is affected by the amount of time that may elapse between when we pay for higher fuel prices and when our customers pay for the increased cost of the fuel purchased by them.
We expect that the cost of fuel will represent a significant cost to the Company’s operations.
The nature of marine services contracts may add volatility to our results of operations
Frequently, the nature of marine services is to provide many of its services in response to discrete customer projects or in response to emergency or salvage conditions and its contracts are generally short-term, usually terminating within one year. Accordingly, customers who account for a significant portion of revenues and operating income in one fiscal year may represent an immaterial portion of revenues in subsequent fiscal years. In addition, marine services contracts often contain clauses that do not entitle us to payment of compensation unless certain results are achieved (such as LOF and other contracts). As a result, it is possible that the cost of performing those contracts could lead to losses.
The Company will face intense competition that could adversely affect its ability to increase market share and could reduce its profitability
Our businesses will operate in highly competitive industries. These intense levels of competition could reduce our revenues and/or increase our expenses either of which would reduce our profitability.
In addition to price, service, experience, reputation and quality of equipment, important competitive factors include safety record, ability to meet the customer’s schedule, the customer’s national flag preference, operating conditions, capability and intended use, complexity of logistical support needs and presence of equipment in the appropriate geographical locations.
-8-
The Company may incur significant costs, liabilities and penalties in complying with government regulations
Government regulation, such as international conventions, federal, state and local laws and regulations in jurisdictions where the Company’s vessels will operate or be registered, has a significant impact on our operations. These regulations relate to worker health and safety, the manning, construction and operation of vessels, homeland, port and vessel security, and ballast water emissions and other aspects of environmental protection.
Risks of incurring substantial compliance costs and liabilities and penalties for non-compliance, particularly with respect to environmental laws and regulations, are inherent in the Company’s business. Should such costs, liabilities or penalties be incurred, it could have a substantial negative impact on the Company’s profitability and financial condition.
Marine-related risks could lead to the disruption of our services and added liabilities
The operation of our vessels will be subject to various risks, including catastrophic marine disasters, adverse weather and sea conditions, capsizing, grounding, mechanical failure, collision, terrorism, oil, chemical and other hazardous substance spills and navigation errors. These risks could endanger the safety of our personnel, our vessels, the cargo we carry, the equipment under tow and other property, as well as the environment. If any of these events was to occur, the Company could be held liable for resulting damages. In addition, the affected vessels could be removed from service on a temporary or permanent basis. The adverse weather, sea conditions and other marine-related risks discussed above can also result in delays in scheduled voyages and thus affect the timing of the recognition of revenue and can increase costs incurred.
We will depend on attracting and retaining qualified, skilled employees to operate our businesses and protect our know-how
Our results of operations will depend in part upon our business know-how. We believe that protection of our know-how depends in large part on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled and qualified personnel. Any inability we experience in the future to hire, train and retain a sufficient number of qualified employees could impair our ability to manage and maintain our businesses and to protect our know-how.
We will require skilled employees who may have to perform physically demanding work. As a result of the volatility of our customers’ industries, particularly the oil and chemical industries, and the demanding nature of the work, potential employees may choose to pursue employment in fields that offer a more desirable work environment at wage rates that are competitive with ours. With a reduced pool of workers, it is possible that we will have to raise wage rates to attract workers from other fields and to retain our current employees. If we are not able to increase the rates we charge our customers to compensate for wage-rate increases, our operating results may be adversely affected.
Other business risks, known and unknown, may impact our results
Other risks which may affect our operations and revenues include our ability to:
·
|
manage our costs effectively;
|
·
|
finance our operations and construct new vessels on acceptable terms;
|
·
|
charter our vessels on acceptable terms; and
|
·
|
manage these risks successfully.

There is no established public trading market for our stock so shares are difficult to sell
Since we merged with Caddystats, Inc. and changed our name to Roadships Holdings, Inc. , the OTCBB market has reported few trades of our common stock. No assurances can be given that the holders of our shares can sell them in secondary market transactions, or as to the prices at which such shares may be sold. Furthermore, because we do not raise equity capital in public equity markets, our cost of capital may be higher than our competitors and may make our financing of capital projects like vessel construction more costly and less competitive than our competition.
Our common shares are thinly traded and, you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to sell your shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.
We cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for our common stock will develop or be sustained.
Our common shares have historically been sporadically or "thinly-traded" on the “Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board”, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common shares at or near bid prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained.
The market price for our common stock is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively small company with a small and thinly traded “float” and lack of current revenues that could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. The price at which you purchase our common stock may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market. You may be unable to sell your common stock at or above your purchase price if at all, which may result in substantial losses to you.
The market for our common shares is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. The volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors. First, as noted above, our common shares are sporadically and/or thinly traded. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our shareholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our common shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer which could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price. Secondly, we are a speculative or "risky" investment due to our lack of revenues or profits to date and uncertainty of future market acceptance for our current and potential products. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a seasoned issuer. The following factors may add to the volatility in the price of our common shares: actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly or annual operating results; adverse outcomes, additions or departures of our key personnel, as well as other items discussed under this "Risk Factors" section, as well as elsewhere in this Registration Statement. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common shares will be at any time, including as to whether our common shares will sustain their current market prices, or as to what effect that the sale of shares or the availability of common shares for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.

Shareholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.
The application of the "penny stock" rules could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and increase your transaction costs to sell those shares.
As long as the trading price of our common shares is below $5 per share, the open-market trading of our common shares will be subject to the "penny stock" rules. The "penny stock" rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse). For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of securities and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction before the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the broker-dealer must deliver, before the transaction, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information on the limited market in penny stocks. These additional burdens imposed on broker-dealers may restrict the ability or decrease the willingness of broker-dealers to sell our common shares, and may result in decreased liquidity for our common shares and increased transaction costs for sales and purchases of our common shares as compared to other securities.
Volatility in our common share price may subject us to securities litigation.
The market for our common stock is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may, in the future, be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management's attention and resources.
Management can exercise control over all matters requiring stockholder approval and could make decisions about our business that conflict with other stockholders’ interests
As of December 31, 2011, Michael Nugent, the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, beneficially owned approximately 63.6% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, Mr. Nugent controls all matters affecting the Company, including:
·
|
the composition of our board of directors and, through it, any determination with respect to our business direction and policies, including the appointment and removal of officers;
|
·
|
any determinations with respect to mergers or other business combinations;
|
-11-
·
|
our acquisition or disposition of assets;
|
·
|
our financing arrangements; and
|
·
|
the payment of dividends on our stock.
|
Moreover, officers and directors collectively own approximately 57.5% of the outstanding common stock of the Company.
RDSH does not intend to pay any dividend for the foreseeable future.
RDSH does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The future payment of dividends is directly dependent upon future earnings, financial requirements and other factors to be determined by RDSH’s board of directors. RDSH anticipates any earnings that may be generated from operations will be used to finance growth and that cash dividends will not be paid to shareholders.
RDSH may need to issue more stock, which could dilute your stock.
If RDSH does not have enough capital to meet future capital requirements, they may need to conduct additional capital-raising in order to continue operations. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity and/or convertible debt securities, the issuance of such securities could result in dilution to shareholders and/or increased debt service commitments. Accordingly, if RDSH issues additional stock, it could reduce the value of your stock.
RDSH may have difficulty managing potential growth.
RDSH could experience a period of significant expansion and they anticipate that further expansion will be required to address potential growth in customer base and market opportunities. Any expansion is expected to place a significant strain on management, operational and financial resources. At the present time, RDSH expects it will be required to increase the number of employees during the current fiscal year. To manage the expected growth of operations and personnel, RDSH will be required to improve existing and implement new transaction processing, operational and financial systems, procedures and controls, and to expand, train and manage the growing employee base. RDSH also will be required to expand finance, administrative and operations staff. Further, RDSH may be required to enter into relationships with various strategic partners necessary to business. There can be no assurance that the current and planned personnel systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support the future operations, that management will be able to hire, train, retain, motivate and manage required personnel or that management will be able to identify, manage and exploit existing and potential strategic relationships and market opportunities. RDSH’s failure to manage growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on business, results of operations and financial condition.
If appropriate opportunities present themselves, RDSH intends to acquire technologies, services or products that they believe are strategic. The process of integrating an acquired technology, service or product may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures and may absorb significant management attention that would otherwise be available for ongoing development of business. Moreover, there can be no assurance that the anticipated benefits of any acquisition will be realized.
Further, acquisitions of technologies, services or products could result in potentially the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities and/or amortization expenses related to goodwill and other intangible assets, which could materially adversely affect business, results of operations and financial condition. Any such future acquisitions of other businesses, technologies, services or products might require us to obtain additional equity or debt financing, which might not be available on terms favorable to RDSH, or at all, and such financing, if available, might be dilutive.
-12-
RDSH’s business plan is based, in part, on estimates and assumptions which may prove to be inaccurate and accordingly their business plan may not succeed.
The discussion of the business incorporates management’s current best estimate and analysis of the potential market, opportunities and difficulties that RDSH faces. There can be no assurances that the underlying assumptions accurately reflect opportunities and potential for success. Competitive and economic forces on marketing, distribution and pricing of products make forecasting of sales, revenues and costs extremely difficult and unpredictable.
You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing original actions in Australia based on United States or other foreign laws against us, our management or the experts named in this current report.
We conduct substantially all of our operations in Australia and substantially all of our assets are located in Australia. In addition, most of our senior executive officers reside within Australia. As a result, it may not be possible to effect service of process within the United States or elsewhere outside of Australia upon our senior executive officers, including with respect to matters arising under U.S. federal securities laws or applicable state securities laws.
Fluctuations in exchange rates could adversely affect our business and the value of our securities.
The value of our common stock will be indirectly affected by the foreign exchange rate between U.S. dollars and the Australian Dollar (“AUD”) and between those currencies and other currencies in which our sales may be denominated. Because substantially all of our earnings and cash assets are denominated in AUD fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and AUD will affect the relative purchasing power of our monies, our balance sheet and our earnings per share in U.S. dollars. In addition, appreciation or depreciation in the value of AUD relative to the U.S. dollar would affect our financial results reported in U.S. dollar terms without giving effect to any underlying change in our business or results of operations. Fluctuations in the exchange rate will also affect the relative value of any dividend we issue that will be exchanged into U.S. dollars as well as earnings from, and the value of, any U.S. dollar-denominated investments we make in the future.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
We may be involved from time to time in ordinary litigation, negotiation and settlement matters that will not have a material effect on our operations or finances. We are not aware of any pending or threatened litigation against us or our officers and directors in their capacity as such that could have a material impact on our operations or finances.

At December 31, 2011, there were 187,633,430 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.
Holders
As of December 31, 2011, we had approximately 595 holders of record, including common shares held by brokerage clearing houses, depositories, or otherwise in unregistered form.
Dividends
We have not declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock since inception and do not anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends may be made at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other factors, our operations, capital requirements, and overall financial condition.
Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
None.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities; Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities
On November 24, 2010, we issued 10 million shares to a consultant in exchange for services. We valued the shares at the price per share valued by an independent valuation expert ($0.17 per share) and charged general and administrative expenses with $1,700,000.
On January 10, 2011, we issued 5 million shares as a down payment on an acquisition in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. We valued these shares at the closing price on the grant date and initially recorded a “Prepaid Acquisition Cost” of $1,250,000. Management regards the likelihood of consummating this acquisition within the next twelve months as unlikely. We have therefore reserved this amount and have charged “Costs Related to Abandoned Acquisition” with the full $1,250,000.

Item 7 . Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and other financial information included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. This report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results in future periods may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the risks discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
Overview
Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and New Accounting Pronouncements
Management's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and plan of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. At each balance sheet date, management evaluates its estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The estimates and critical accounting policies that are most important in fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations include those stated in our financial statements and those listed below:
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we had negative cash flows from operations of $375,233 for the period from inception (September 26, 2008) to December 31, 2011, recurring losses, and minimal working capital at December 31, 2011. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern. Management intends to finance these deficits by making additional shareholder notes and seeking additional outside financing through either debt or sales of its common stock.
Results of Operations – Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2011 Versus 2010
Revenues
Revenues were nil for the year ended December 31, 2011 versus 2010. Although we attempted several acquisitions during 2011 to augment revenues sources, none was successful. Revenues were $13,636 for the year ended December 31, 2010 with costs of sales of $16,215, leading to gross margins of negative $2,579.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses were $125,339 for the year ended December 31, 2011 versus $1,825,202 for the same period in 2010. Included in the year ended December 31, 2010 was $1.7 million of non-cash compensation, without which our general and administrative expenses would have been $125,202, which is comparable to our cash administrative expenses during 2011.
-15-
Costs Related to Abandoned Acquisitions
We had costs related to abandoned acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2011 of $$1,250,000 versus only $20,760 during the same period in 2010. The costs in 2011 include our attempted acquisition of Royans Brisbane in Brisbane, Australia, whereas 2010 included only a cash payment during 2010 to an acquisition target.
Depreciation Expense
Depreciation is unchanged ($36,056) for both years as our asset base has not changed and we use the straight-line depreciation method to allocate costs to income.
Interest Expense
Interest expense is slightly less for the year ended December 31, 2011 versus the same period in 2010 due to our extinguishment of certain capital leases.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis that contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
Currently, we are not able to maintain our existing operations through the existing cash balances and internally generated cash flows. Moreover, we have determined that our existing capital structure is not adequate to fund our planned growth. We intend to finance our growth by issuing additional common stock and through loans from our shareholders. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in procuring the financing we are seeking. Future cash flows are subject to a number of variables, including the procurement of vessels, and demand for our services. There can be no assurance that we will obtain the capital we need to achieve our goals.
Plan of Operation
Roadships Holdings, Inc. (“Roadships”), operates in the transport industry – short-sea freight shipping, shipping logistics, and ground freight transport. The Company’s business model and business plan (the “Plan”) have remained unchanged from the juncture of the reverse merger (February – March 2009. Implementation of the plan was delayed by the full and successful processing of Roadships’ application to the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”) (August 2009 – February 2010); largely due to a DTCC restructuring.
Although operationally integrated, Roadships operations are best examined as three “strategic business units” (SBUs): 1) Short Sea Freight Shipping; 2) Freight Shipping Logistics, and; 3) Ground Freight Transport.
Short Sea Shipping:
·
|
Research and development on the establishment Roadships USA trade routes;
|
·
|
Pre-application research and development on a waiver of The Jones Act;
|
·
|
Preliminary logistical preparation on the ordering and construction of two USA built Roadships High Speed Monohulls;
|
·
|
In discussions with European and USA based ship operators on strategic partnerships;
|
·
|
Finalization of strategic sales and marketing for the Company’s new trailer designs or retrofit package for use with the new Roadships High Speed Monohulls;
|
·
|
Preliminary logistical preparation for the release of Roadships’ new loading and unloading equipment for the Company’s High Speed Monohulls;
|
-16-
Freight Shipping Logistics:
Although Roadships’ management team has considerable experience in industry sector, frankly freight logistics services have taken a back seat to developments in the Company’s Short Sea Shipping and Ground Transportation SBUs. However, the Company intends to penetrate both the USA and Australian markets over the short-term, most likely by means of merger or acquisition in penetrating the former.
Ground Freight Transportation:
·
|
In discussions with a U.S. based ground freight operator ($17 million in assets and 24 million in annual revenues) on merger.
|
·
|
Preliminary examination of two smaller ground transport operators.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Roadships Holdings, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Roadships Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the period from September 26, 2008 (inception) to December 31, 2011. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our 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 purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Roadships Holdings, Inc. and consolidated subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations, and cash flows for the periods described above in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company suffered a net loss from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Business
History
Roadships Holdings, Inc (“Roadships”, “The Company”, “we’ or “us”) was formed in Delaware on June 5, 2006 as Caddystats, Inc.
On March 3, 2009, the owners of Roadships Holdings, Inc., a Florida Corporation (“Roadships Florida”), and Roadships America, Inc., also a Florida Corporation (“Roadships Am”), both privately held companies, exchanged all of their outstanding shares of common stock in the companies for 16,025,000 shares of common stock of Caddystats, Inc. (“Caddystats”), a public company, representing approximately 100% of the outstanding common shares of the Company. Upon the exchange transaction (the “Transaction”), Caddystats changed its name to Roadships Holdings, Inc. and increased the number of authorized common stock to 1,000,000,000 shares As a result of the transaction, Roadships Florida and Roadships Am (the “Companies”) are now wholly-owned subsidiaries of Caddystats. In essence, Roadships and Roadships Am merged into a public shell company with no or nominal remaining operations; and no or nominal assets and liabilities.
In accordance with Financial Accounting guidance related to Business Combinations (“Topic 805”), the Companies are considered the accounting acquirer in the exchange transaction. Because the Companies owners as a group retained or received the larger portion of the voting rights in the combined entity and the Companies senior management represents a majority of the senior management of the combined entity, the Companies are considered the acquirer for accounting purposes and will account for the transaction as a reverse acquisition. The acquisition will be accounted for as a recapitalization, since at the time of the transaction, Caddystats was a company with no or nominal operations, assets and liabilities. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that will be reflected in future consolidated financial statements will be those of the Companies and will be recorded at its historical cost basis. The financial statements have been prepared as if Roadships and Roadships Am had always been the reporting company and, on the share transaction date, changed its name and reorganized its capital stock.
On February 25, 2009, the board of directors approved a 5:1 Forward Split of the corporation’s common stock. All information in this report on Form 10-K has been adjusted to reflect the forward split as if it took place as of the earliest period reported.
As discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements, we attempted to acquire Reefco Logistics, Inc. (“Reefco”), a North Carolina corporation. However, we were unable to consummate the transaction. By mutual agreement, the acquisition was voided.
Where Roadships Holdings is Headed
All references to the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” for periods prior to the closing of the Agreement refer to Roadships and Roadships Am, and references to the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” for periods subsequent to the closing of the Agreement refer to the Registrant and its subsidiaries.
Roadships Holdings, Inc. and Roadships America, Inc., both Florida domiciled private corporations, expect to be builders of Short Sea Ships – in partnership with STX Marine Group [Canada, Europe and USA] (“STXM”) and expect to be providers of Short Sea Shipping, as well as synergistic acquirers, owners, and operators of ground freight transportation companies throughout North America and Australia.
In response to the U.S. Maritime Administration Coastal Transportation Initiative, Roadships and Roadships Am, in partnership with STX Canada Marine Inc., developed a proprietary design of a high speed Ro/Ro vessel for use in the U.S. coastal transport trade. The Company is in the process of finalizing its initial plans of building two (2) U.S. built Jones Act Ro/Ro vessels (“Flagship Vessels” or “Ships”) annually over the next five (5) years.
The pedigree for the High Speed (HS) Monohull design proposed for the Roadships program comes from a vessel concept that was initially developed by Kvaerner Masa Yards - Technology (now STX Europe). The HS vessel design was conceived in the early 1990's for short sea shipping transportation throughout Europe using a hull form derived from a high speed ROPAX ferry built at the shipyard in Helsinki, Finland. This hull form was extensively tested and improved over a period of 5 years to optimize the hull form that offers the least resistance and allows the ship to maintain speed up to SS5.
-25-
Short Sea Shipping Flagship Vessel
Per ship cost is a variable, as requisite construction materials are largely commodities that are affected by changing market conditions. In October 2005, Roadships developed construction costing on Roadships Flagship Vessels from STX Marine Group [Canada, Europe and USA] (“STXM”) of Ninety Million USD ($90,000,000). Subsequently, in October 2008, at the height of the crude oil run-up, the Company requested updated costing from STXM, which came in at double the first estimate; i.e., One Hundred Eighty Million USD ($180,000,000). For the purposes of these financial projections – given the substantial drop in the price of crude oil – Management has utilized the average of $90,000,000 and $180,000,000, or One Hundred Thirty Five Million USD ($135,000,000).
We have not raised any of the capital required to undertake construction of these vessels. In the event that we are unable to raise the funds necessary, our business plan will be severely impacted.
Ground Freight Mergers and Acquisitions
The gestation period for Roadships Flagship Vessels is eighteen (18) months, best case, from start to finish. To drive short term cash flow, the Company’s strategic intent calls for the acquisition, merger and assimilation of privately held regional freight companies ranging in value from Eight Million USD ($8,000,000) to Twenty Million USD ($20,000,000).
Management has extensive experience in optimizing operations, squeezing-out cost overruns, and maximizing profits beyond industry averages. Strategically, Management intends to identify and acquire two (2) target operations quarterly – with one of the two being an over-performer and the other an under-performer – synergistically merging the two so as to optimize future operations of both operating entities.
Management’s acquisition strategy calls for the assumption of all existing debt and payment for owner’s equity in cash equivalents; i.e., the Company’s free trading shares. To the extent and degree that the Company is utilizing its stock as cash equivalents for the acquisition (or at least partial acquisition) of hard assets.
Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principals in the United States.
Principles of Consolidation
Our consolidated financial statements include Roadships Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ significantly from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of 3 months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its deposits with high quality financial institutions and, accordingly, believes its credit risk exposure associated with cash is remote. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.
Property, Plant and Equipment
We record our property plant and equipment at historical cost. The estimated useful lives of these assets range from three to seven years and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the asset’s useful life.
-26-
Foreign Currency Risk
We currently have two subsidiaries operating in Australia. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, we had $214 and $418 Australian Dollars, respectively ($218 and $427 US Dollars, respectively) deposited into Australian banks. Additionally, we had $13 and $0 dollars on deposit with US banks at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings or loss (the numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period (the denominator). Diluted earnings per common share is similar to the computation for basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased by the dilutive effect of stock options outstanding and unvested restricted shares and share units, computed using the treasury stock method. There are currently no common stock equivalents.
Capital Leases
We account for capital leases as defined in ASC 840-30 – Capital Leases. Some of the assets of our subsidiary in Australia, Roadships Freight Pty Ltd. (formerly Endeavor Logistics Pty Ltd.) were subject to certain capital lease obligations which we have recognized. Our Chief Executive Officer, Micheal Nugent, has been making interest and principal payments this capital lease obligation. As of December 31, 2011, these lease obligations have been satisfied.
For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, capital lease obligation payments were $1,236 and $4,408, respectively. Unpaid capital lease obligations were $0 and $1,224 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
-27-
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Codification Standard No. 820 (“ASC 820), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. ASC 820 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and accordingly, does not require any new fair value measurements. ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 - Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2 - Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
At December 31, 2011, we had no assets or liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value on a non-recurring basis:
Income Taxes
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. We provide a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which we do not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.
See Note 8 for our reconciliation of income tax expense and deferred income taxes as of and for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. The guidance in ASU 2011-08 is intended to reduce complexity and costs by allowing an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. The amendments also improve previous guidance by expanding upon the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider between annual impairment tests in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Also, the amendments improve the examples of events and circumstances that an entity having a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount should consider in determining whether to measure an impairment loss, if any, under the second step of the goodwill impairment test. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”, which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. This guidance amends certain accounting and disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. Additional disclosure requirements in the update include: (1) for Level 3 fair value measurements, quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation processes used by the entity, and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs; (2) for an entity’s use of a nonfinancial asset that is different from the asset’s highest and best use, the reason for the difference; (3) for financial instruments not measured at fair value but for which disclosure of fair value is required, the fair value hierarchy level in which the fair value measurements were determined; and (4) the disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. ASU 2011-04 will become effective for the Company on December 1, 2012. We are currently evaluating ASU 2011-04 and have not yet determined the impact that adoption will have on our financial statements. The Company has adopted guidance published in Codification Topic 360 (“Topic 360”) which addresses property, plant and equipment. This guidance contained in Topic 360 requires us to review for impairment long-lived assets, such as property, plant, equipment, and acquired intangible assets subject to amortization, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. We assess recoverability of assets to be held and used by comparing their carrying amount to the expected future undiscounted net cash flows they are expected to generate. If an asset or group of assets is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or group of assets exceeds fair value. We report long-lived assets meeting the criteria to be considered as held-for-sale at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less anticipated disposal costs. In the years presented, the Company did not recognize any impairment charges on long-lived assets.
-28-
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-13, "Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades (A consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)" (“ASU 2010-13”). ASU 2010-13 clarifies that a share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, such an award should not be classified as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. This clarification of existing practice is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010, with early application permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU; however, we do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our financial statements.
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09 regarding subsequent events and amendments to certain recognition and disclosure requirements. Under this ASU, a public company that is a SEC filer, as defined, is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This ASU is effective upon the issuance of this ASU. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 regarding fair value measurements and disclosures and improvement in the disclosure about fair value measurements. This ASU requires additional disclosures regarding significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 of fair value measurements, including a description of the reasons for the transfers. Further, this ASU requires additional disclosures for the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, requiring presentation of information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU; however, we do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our financial statements.
Note 3 – Going Concern
As of December 31, 2011, we have not begun sustainable operations. Moreover, there is no guarantee that we will acquire the capital to procure additional producing assets that will generate positive cash flows from operations. Roadships Holdings’ financial statements have been prepared on a development stage company basis. Substantial doubt exists as to Roadships Holdings’ ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustment has been made to these financial statements for the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note 4 – Related Party Transactions
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, certain beneficial shareholders paid expenses of $65,626, and contributed cash of $16,250. These contributions are included as increases in Additional Paid in Capital. Additionally, certain beneficial shareholders made cash loans the Company of $26,000. These loans are made pursuant to a Promissory Note (the “Note”) with simple interest payable at 5% on un-matured amounts. The Note is callable by the maker at any time, after which, if not paid, the interest rate increases to 10%. We accrued $222 of interest as of the year ended December 31, 2011.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2010, certain beneficial shareholders paid expenses of $115,246, contributed cash of $42,956 and made interest and principal payments of $7,400 on certain debts. These contributions are included in Additional Paid in Capital.
Note 5 – Capital Structure
At December 31, 2008, we had 53,750,000 shares outstanding. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, we issued the following shares:
106,197,430 common shares to existing shareholders pursuant to the resolution by our Board of Directors to 1.97577 additional shares for each share owned.
-29-
10,000 common shares to the shareholders of Roadships Acquisitions Pty, Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of Australia, to acquire 100% of the outstanding common stock of that company.
500 common shares to the shareholders of Endeavour Logistics Pty, Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of Australia, to acquire 100% of the outstanding common stock of that company.
On October 19, 2009, our board of directors authorized the disbursement of 5 million shares of common stock to Robert Smith to serve as the Company President. We valued these shares based upon an independent valuation of the Company which evaluated our internal financial projections against comparable companies; risk-adjusted Capitalization and Discount rates to apply to our projected earnings, and market and transactions data from comparable companies within our industry. This independent valuation assessed the value of the Company at $27.5 million, or $0.17 per share. Since our common stock is very thinly traded, this independent valuation serves to take the place of valuation based on current market prices of our stock. Based on this valuation, we recorded non-cash compensation of $850,000 for Mr. Smith’s shares.
On November 19, 2009, our board of directors authorized the issuance of 7,675,500 shares of our common stock to approximately 43 persons, principally residing in Australia, for services rendered to the company. We valued these shares at $0.17 based on the independent valuation described in the previous paragraph and recorded $1,303,752 of non-cash compensation.
On November 24, 2010, we issued 10 million shares to a consultant in exchange for services. We valued the shares at the price per share valued by an independent valuation expert ($0.17 per share) and charged general and administrative expenses with $1,700,000.
On January 10, 2011, we issued 5 million shares as a down payment on an acquisition in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. We valued these shares at the closing price on the grant date and initially recorded a “Prepaid Acquisition Cost” of $1,250,000. Management regards the likelihood of consummating this acquisition within the next twelve months as unlikely. We have therefore reserved this amount and have charged “Costs Related to Abandoned Acquisition” with the full $1,250,000.
Note 6 – Acquisitions
On December 30, 2010, we signed an agreement with Reefco Logistics, Inc. (“Reefco”) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Reefco, paying $20,760 as an initial payment. However, subsequent to the signing of the agreement, our due diligence discovered problems with Reefco that would preclude our acquiring that company. We therefore never took control of the company’s operations, and by mutual consent, the original agreement was voided. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we fully reserved the $20,760, charging “Costs Related to Abandoned Acquisition” with the $20,760.
On January 10, 2011, we issued 5 million shares as a down payment on an acquisition in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. We valued these shares at the closing price on the grant date and initially recorded a “Prepaid Acquisition Cost” of $1,250,000. Management regards the likelihood of consummating this acquisition within the next twelve months as unlikely. We have therefore reserved this amount and have charged “Costs Related to Abandoned Acquisition” with the full $1,250,000.

Note 7 – Property, Plant and Equipment

|
$ | 32,385 | $ | 68,427 |
We acquired the majority of these assets when we acquired Roadships Freight Pty Ltd (formerly Endeavour Logistics Pty Ltd) (“Roadships Freight”), our wholly owned subsidiary in Australia. The assets were acquired by Roadships Freight from our Chairman and CEO, Michael Nugent who, at the time Roadships Holdings acquired Roadships Freight, owned 100% of the outstanding common stock of Roadships Freight.
The assets consisted of office furniture and equipment, equipment and vehicles and are recorded at the historical cost of Mr. Nugent. Some of the equipment included in the assets of Roadships Freight were financed using a lease which we have accounted for as a capital lease. There were unpaid lease payments at the time Roadships acquired Roadships Freight, as there were at December 31, 2011 and 2010. These leases were serviced personally by Mr. Nugent. As of December 31, 2011, the lease obligations have been fully discharged.
During the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, Mr. Nugent contributed additional principal and interest against these liabilities of $1,236 and $4,408, respectively. Unpaid principal at December 31, 2011 and 2010 amounted to $0 and $1,224, respectively.
Note 8 – Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes reflect the tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax bases:

Net future income taxes
|
$ | - | $ | - |
In assessing the realizability of future tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the future tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of future tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of future tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Management has provided for a valuation allowance on all of its losses as there is no assurance that future tax benefits will be realized.
Our tax loss carry-forward of approximately $490,000 will begin to expire in 2022.

Note 9 – Capital Lease Obligation
On June 15, 2009, we acquired Roadships Freight Pty Ltd. (formerly Endeavour Logistics Pty. Ltd.). Some of the assets of that Company were subject to certain capital lease obligations which we have recognized. Our Chief Executive Officer, Micheal Nugent, has been making interest and principal payments this capital lease obligation.
For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, capital lease obligation payments were $1,236 and $4,408, respectively. Unpaid capital lease obligations were $0 and $1,224 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Note 10 – Subsequent Events
We have evaluated subsequent events through the date of this report. There were no subsequent events noted.
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
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. To address the material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Management’s 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 Securities Exchange Act, as amended. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 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. 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 the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We have identified the following material weaknesses.
|
1.
|
As of December 31, 2011, we did not maintain effective controls over the control environment. Specifically we have not developed and effectively communicated to our employees its accounting policies and procedures. This has resulted in inconsistent practices. Further, the Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-B. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute e a material weakness.

|
2.
|
As of December 31, 2011, we did not maintain effective controls over financial statement disclosure. Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
|
Because of these material weaknesses, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on the criteria established in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework" issued by the COSO.
Change In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal year that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

Board of Directors and Committees
Our Board of Directors presently consists of four members: Michael Nugent, Robert McClelland, Robert Smith and Patrick Greene. Our Bylaws generally provide for majority approval of directors in order to adopt resolutions. The Board of Directors may be expanded in the future. All executive officer compensation, including payroll expenditures, salaries, stock options, stock incentives, and bonuses, must be approved by the unanimous consent of the Board of Directors. The entire Board of Directors acts as the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee.
On compensation matters, the Board considers and recommends payroll expenditures, salaries, stock options, stock incentive and bonus proposals for our employees. Acting in its audit committee function, the Board reviews, with our independent accountants, our annual financial statements prior to publication, and reviews the work of, and approves non-audit services performed by, such independent accountants. The Board appoints the independent public accountants for the ensuing year. The Board also reviews the effectiveness of the financial and accounting functions and the organization, operation and management of our Company.
As of December 31, 2011, we did not have a director on our board that met the definition of “audit committee financial expert” as set forth in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-B. We are currently searching for a director that meets such requirements. We employ an outside firm to advise and consult management and the board on all matters relating to our financial statements.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules there under require our officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our common stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to furnish us with copies.
Based on our reviews of the copies of the Section 16(a) forms received by it, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that, during the last fiscal year, none of our directors or executive officers satisfied their Section 16(a) filing requirements. Such persons are in the process, with the assistance of counsel, to file all required and missing reports.

Procedure for Nominating Directors
We have not made any material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our board of directors.
The board does not have a written policy or charter regarding how director candidates are evaluated or nominated for the board. Additionally, the board has not created particular qualifications or minimum standards that candidates for the board must meet. Instead, the board considers how a candidate could contribute to the Company's business and meet the needs of the Company and the board.
The board will consider candidates for director recommended by our shareholders. Candidates recommended by shareholders are evaluated with the same methodology as candidates recommended by management or members of the board. To refer a candidate for director, please send a resume or detailed description of the candidate's background and experience with a letter describing the candidate's interest in the Company to 284 W. Millbrook Road, Raleigh, North Carolina 27609. All candidate referrals are reviewed by at least one current board member.
