FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
Forward-Looking Statements
 
This Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Report”), including ”Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 7 contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 regarding future events and the future results of Yacht Finders, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”) that are based on management’s current expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions about the Company’s business. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “sees,” “estimates” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including, but not limited to, those discussed in the “Risk Factors” section in Item 1A, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 7 and elsewhere in this Report as well as those discussed from time to time in the Company’s other Securities and Exchange Commission filings and reports. In addition, such statements could be affected by general industry and market conditions. Such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Report or, in the case of any document incorporated by reference, the date of that document, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Report. If we update or correct one or more forward-looking statements, investors and others should not conclude that we will make additional updates or corrections with respect to other forward-looking statements.
 
PART I
 
ITEM 1.
BUSINESS.
 
Background
 
Yacht Finders, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on August 15, 2000 as Sneeoosh Corporation. On October 20, 2000 the company filed an amended Certificate of Incorporation to change the name to Snohomish Corporation. On April 15, 2003 the company filed a subsequent amendment to change the name to Yacht Finders, Inc. Yacht Finder's Inc. business plan was to create an online database for public buyers and yacht brokers to interface immediately with each other while capturing the benefits of targeting a larger market. Our target market is yacht brokers, yacht.  On November 6, 2007, the Company discontinued its prior business and changed its business plan.  The Company’s business plan now consists of exploring potential targets for a business combination through the purchase of assets, share purchase or exchange, merger or similar type of transaction

The Company’s current business plan is to seek, investigate, and, if warranted, acquire one or more properties or businesses, and to pursue other related activities intended to enhance shareholder value. The acquisition of a business opportunity may be made by purchase, merger, exchange of stock, or otherwise, and may encompass assets or a business entity, such as a corporation, joint venture, or partnership. The Company has limited capital, and it is unlikely that the Company will be able to take advantage of more than one such business opportunity. The Company intends to seek opportunities demonstrating the potential of long-term growth as opposed to short-term earnings.
 
The Company’s principal shareholders are in contact with broker-dealers and other persons with whom they are acquainted who are involved in corporate finance matters to advise them of the Company’s existence and to determine if any companies or businesses they represent have an interest in considering a merger or acquisition with the Company. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in finding or acquiring a desirable business opportunity, given that limited funds are available for acquisitions, or that any acquisition that occurs will be on terms that are favorable to the Company or its stockholders.

The Company’s search is directed toward small and medium-sized enterprises which have a desire to become public corporations and which are able to satisfy, or anticipate in the reasonably near future being able to satisfy, the minimum asset and other requirements in order to qualify shares for trading on NASDAQ SmallCap Market or a stock exchange (See “Investigation and Selection of Business Opportunities”). The Company anticipates that the business opportunities presented to it may (i) be recently organized with no operating history, or a history of losses attributable to under-capitalization or other factors; (ii) be experiencing financial or operating difficulties; (iii) be in need of funds to develop a new product or service or to expand into a new market; (iv) be relying upon an untested product or marketing concept; or (v) have a combination of the characteristics mentioned in (i) through (iv). The Company intends to concentrate its acquisition efforts on properties or businesses that it believes to be undervalued. Given the above factors, investors should expect that any acquisition candidate may have a history of losses or low profitability.
 
The Company does not propose to restrict its search for investment opportunities to any particular geographical area or industry, and may, therefore, engage in essentially any business, to the extent of its limited resources. This includes industries such as service, finance, natural resources, manufacturing, high technology, product development, medical, communications and others. The Company’s discretion in the selection of business opportunities is unrestricted, subject to the availability of such opportunities, economic conditions, and other factors.
 
Any entity which has an interest in being acquired by, or merging into the Company, is expected to be an entity that desires to become a public company and establish a public trading market for its securities. In connection with such a merger or acquisition, it is highly likely that an amount of stock constituting control of the Company would be issued by the Company or purchased from the current principal shareholders of the Company by the acquiring entity or its affiliates. If stock is purchased from the current shareholders, the transaction is very likely to result in substantial gains to them relative to their purchase price for such stock. In the Company’s judgment, none of its officers and directors would thereby become an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The sale of a controlling interest by certain principal shareholders of the Company could occur at a time when the other shareholders of the Company remain subject to restrictions on the transfer of their shares.

It is anticipated that business opportunities will come to the Company’s attention from various sources, including its principal shareholders, professional advisors such as attorneys and accountants, securities broker-dealers, venture capitalists, members of the financial community, and others who may present unsolicited proposals. The Company has no plans, understandings, agreements, or commitments with any individual for such person to act as a finder of opportunities for the Company.
 
The Company does not foresee that it would enter into a merger or acquisition transaction with any business with which its officers, directors or principal shareholders are currently affiliated. Should the Company determine in the future, contrary to foregoing expectations, that a transaction with an affiliate would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, the Company is, in general, permitted by Delaware law to enter into such a transaction if:
 
1. The material facts as to the relationship or interest of the affiliate and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors, and the Board in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors constitute less than a quorum; or
 
2. The material facts as to the relationship or interest of the affiliate and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders; or
 
3. The contract or transaction is fair as to the Company as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified, by the Board of Directors or the stockholders.

Investigation and Selection of Business Opportunities
 
To a large extent, a decision to participate in a specific business opportunity may be made upon the principal shareholders’ analysis of the quality of the other company’s management and personnel, the anticipated acceptability of new products or marketing concepts, the merit of technological changes, the perceived benefit the Company will derive from becoming a publicly held entity, and numerous other factors which are difficult, if not impossible, to analyze through the application of any objective criteria. In many instances, it is anticipated that the historical operations of a specific business opportunity may not necessarily be indicative of the potential for the future because of the possible need to access capital, shift marketing approaches substantially, expand significantly, change product emphasis, change or substantially augment management, or make other changes. The Company will be dependent upon the owners of a business opportunity to identify any such problems which may exist and to implement, or be primarily responsible for the implementation of, required changes. Because the Company may participate in a business opportunity with a newly organized firm or with a firm which is entering a new phase of growth, it should be emphasized that the Company will incur further risks, because management in many instances will not have proved its abilities or effectiveness, the eventual market for such company’s products or services will likely not be established, and such company may not be profitable when acquired.
 
It is anticipated that the Company will not be able to diversify, but will essentially be limited to one such venture because of the Company’s limited financial resources. This lack of diversification will not permit the Company to offset potential losses from one business opportunity against profits from another, and should be considered an adverse factor affecting any decision to purchase the Company’s securities.
 
It is emphasized that the Company may affect transactions having a potentially adverse impact upon the Company’s shareholders pursuant to the authority and discretion of the Company’s management and board of directors to complete acquisitions without submitting any proposal to the stockholders for their consideration. Holders of the Company’s securities should not anticipate that the Company will necessarily furnish such holders, prior to any merger or acquisition, with financial statements, or any other documentation, concerning a target company or its business. In some instances, however, the proposed participation in a business opportunity may be submitted to the stockholders for their consideration, either voluntarily by such directors to seek the stockholders’ advice and consent or because state law so requires.
 
The analysis of business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of the Company’s principal shareholders, who are not professional business analysts. Although there are no current plans to do so, the Company might hire outside consultants to assist in the investigation and selection of business opportunities, and might pay a finder’s fee. Since the Company has no current plans to use any outside consultants or advisors to assist in the investigation and selection of business opportunities, no policies have been adopted regarding use of such consultants or advisors, the criteria to be used in selecting such consultants or advisors, the services to be provided, the term of service, or regarding the total amount of fees that may be paid. However, because of the limited resources of the Company, it is likely that any such fees the Company agrees to pay would be paid in stock and not in cash. Otherwise, the Company anticipates that it will consider, among other things, the following factors:
 
1. Potential for growth and profitability, indicated by new technology, anticipated market expansion, or new products;
 
2. The Company’s perception of how any particular business opportunity will be received by the investment community and by the Company’s stockholders;
 
3. Whether, following the business combination, the financial condition of the business opportunity would be, or would have a significant prospect in the foreseeable future of becoming sufficient to enable the securities of the Company to qualify for listing on an exchange or on a national automated securities quotation system, such as NASDAQ, so as to permit the trading of such securities to be exempt from the requirements of Rule 15c2-6 adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. See “Risk Factors—The Company Regulation of Penny Stocks.”
 
4. Capital requirements and anticipated availability of required funds, to be provided by the Company or from operations, through the sale of additional securities, through joint ventures or similar arrangements, or from other sources;
 
5. The extent to which the business opportunity can be advanced;

 
5

 

6. Competitive position as compared to other companies of similar size and experience within the industry segment as well as within the industry as a whole;
 
7. Strength and diversity of existing management, or management prospects that are scheduled for recruitment;
 
8. The cost of participation by the Company as compared to the perceived tangible and intangible values and potential; and
 
9. The accessibility of required management expertise, personnel, raw materials, services, professional assistance, and other required items.
 
In regard to the possibility that the shares of the Company would qualify for listing on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market, the current standards include the requirements that the issuer of the securities satisfy, among other requirements, certain minimum levels of shareholder equity, market value or net income. Many of the business opportunities that might be potential candidates for a combination with the Company would not satisfy the NASDAQ SmallCap Market listing criteria.
 
Not one of the factors described above will be controlling in the selection of a business opportunity, and the Company will attempt to analyze all factors appropriate to each opportunity and make a determination based upon reasonable investigative measures and available data. Potentially available business opportunities may occur in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities difficult and complex. Potential investors must recognize that, because of the Company’s limited capital available for investigation, the Company may not discover or adequately evaluate adverse facts about the opportunity to be acquired.
 
The Company is unable to predict when it may participate in a business opportunity. Prior to making a decision to participate in a business opportunity, the Company will generally request that it be provided with written materials regarding the business opportunity containing such items as a description of products, services and company history; management resumes; financial information; available projections, with related assumptions upon which they are based; an explanation of proprietary products and services; evidence of existing patents, trademarks, or services marks, or rights thereto; present and proposed forms of compensation to management; a description of transactions between such company and its affiliates during relevant periods; a description of present and required facilities; an analysis of risks and competitive conditions; a financial plan of operation and estimated capital requirements; audited financial statements, or if they are not available, unaudited financial statements, together with reasonable assurances that audited financial statements would be able to be produced within a reasonable period of time following completion of a merger transaction; and other information deemed relevant.

As part of the Company’s investigation, the Company’s principal shareholders may meet personally with management and key personnel, may visit and inspect material facilities, obtain independent analysis or verification of certain information provided, check references of management and key personnel, and take other reasonable investigative measures, to the extent of the Company’s limited financial resources.
 
It is possible that the range of business opportunities that might be available for consideration by the Company could be limited by the impact of Securities and Exchange Commission regulations regarding purchase and sale of “penny stocks.” The regulations would affect, and possibly impair, any market that might develop in the Company’s securities until such time as they qualify for listing on NASDAQ or on another exchange which would make them exempt from applicability of the “penny stock” regulations. See “Risk Factors - Regulation of Penny Stocks.”
 
The Company believes that various types of potential merger or acquisition candidates might find a business combination with the Company to be attractive. These include acquisition candidates desiring to create a public market for their shares in order to enhance liquidity for current shareholders, acquisition candidates which have long-term plans for raising capital through the public sale of securities and believe that the possible prior existence of a public market for their securities would be beneficial, and acquisition candidates which plan to acquire additional assets through issuance of securities rather than for cash, and believe that the possibility of development of a public market for their securities will be of assistance in that process. Acquisition candidates who have a need for an immediate cash infusion are not likely to find a potential business combination with the Company to be an attractive alternative.

There are no loan arrangements or arrangements for any financing whatsoever relating to any business opportunities currently available.

Form of Acquisition
 
It is impossible to predict the manner in which the Company may participate in a business opportunity. Specific business opportunities will be reviewed as well as the respective needs and desires of the Company and the promoters of the opportunity and, upon the basis of that review and the relative negotiating strength of the Company and such promoters, the legal structure or method deemed by management to be suitable will be selected. Such structure may include, but is not limited to leases, purchase and sale agreements, licenses, joint ventures and other contractual arrangements. The Company may act directly or indirectly through an interest in a partnership, corporation or other form of organization. Implementing such structure may require the merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Company with other corporations or forms of business organization, and although it is likely, there is no assurance that the Company would be the surviving entity. In addition, the present management, board of directors and stockholders of the Company most likely will not have control of a majority of the voting shares of the Company following a reorganization transaction. As part of such a transaction, the Company’s existing management and directors may resign and new management and directors may be appointed without any vote by stockholders.
 
It is likely that the Company will acquire its participation in a business opportunity through the issuance of Common Stock or other securities of the Company. Although the terms of any such transaction cannot be predicted, it should be noted that in certain circumstances the criteria for determining whether or not an acquisition is a so-called “tax free” reorganization under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, depends upon the issuance to the stockholders of the acquired company of a controlling interest (i.e. 80% or more) of the common stock of the combined entities immediately following the reorganization. If a transaction were structured to take advantage of these provisions rather than other “tax free” provisions provided under the Internal Revenue Code, the Company’s current stockholders would retain in the aggregate 20% or less of the total issued and outstanding shares. This could result in substantial additional dilution in the equity of those who were stockholders of the Company prior to such reorganization. Any such issuance of additional shares might also be done simultaneously with a sale or transfer of shares representing a controlling interest in the Company by the principal shareholders.
 
It is anticipated that any new securities issued in any reorganization would be issued in reliance upon exemptions, if any are available, from registration under applicable federal and state securities laws. In some circumstances, however, as a negotiated element of the transaction, the Company may agree to register such securities either at the time the transaction is consummated, or under certain conditions or at specified times thereafter. The issuance of substantial additional securities and their potential sale into any trading market that might develop in the Company’s securities may have a depressive effect upon such market.
 
The Company will participate in a business opportunity only after the negotiation and execution of a written agreement. Although the terms of such agreement cannot be predicted, generally such an agreement would require specific representations and warranties by all of the parties thereto, specify certain events of default, detail the terms of closing and the conditions which must be satisfied by each of the parties thereto prior to such closing, outline the manner of bearing costs if the transaction is not closed, set forth remedies upon default, and include miscellaneous other terms normally found in an agreement of that type.
 
As a general matter, the Company anticipates that it, and/or its officers and principal shareholders will enter into a letter of intent with the management, principals or owners of a prospective business opportunity prior to signing a binding agreement. Such letter of intent will set forth the terms of the proposed acquisition but will generally not bind any of the parties to consummate the transaction. Execution of a letter of intent will by no means indicate that consummation of an acquisition is probable. Neither the Company nor any of the other parties to the letter of intent will be bound to consummate the acquisition unless and until a definitive agreement concerning the acquisition as described in the preceding paragraph is executed. Even after a definitive agreement is executed, it is possible that the acquisition would not be consummated should any party elect to exercise any right provided in the agreement to terminate it on specified grounds.

 
7

 

It is anticipated that the investigation of specific business opportunities and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments will require substantial costs for accountants, attorneys and others. If a decision is made not to participate in a specific business opportunity, the costs theretofore incurred in the related investigation might not be recoverable. Moreover, because many providers of goods and services require compensation at the time or soon after the goods and services are provided, the inability of the Company to pay until an indeterminate future time may make it impossible to procure such goods and services.
 
In all probability, upon completion of an acquisition or merger, there will be a change in control through issuance of substantially more shares of common stock. Further, in conjunction with an acquisition or merger, it is likely that the principal shareholders may offer to sell a controlling interest at a price not relative to or reflective of a price which could be achieved by individual shareholders at the time.

Investment Company Act and Other Regulation

The Company may participate in a business opportunity by purchasing, trading or selling the securities of such business. The Company does not, however, intend to engage primarily in such activities. Specifically, the Company intends to conduct its activities so as to avoid being classified as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Act”), and therefore to avoid application of the costly and restrictive registration and other provisions of the Investment Act, and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
 
Section 3(a) of the Investment Act contains the definition of an “investment company,” and it excludes any entity that does not engage primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities, or that does not engage in the business of investing, owning, holding or trading “investment securities” (defined as “all securities other than government securities or securities of majority-owned subsidiaries”) the value of which exceeds 40% of the value of its total assets (excluding government securities, cash or cash items). The Company intends to implement its business plan in a manner which will result in the availability of this exception from the definition of “investment company.” Consequently, the Company’s participation in a business or opportunity through the purchase and sale of investment securities will be limited.
 
The Company’s plan of business may involve changes in its capital structure, management, control and business, especially if it consummates a reorganization as discussed above. Each of these areas is regulated by the Investment Act, in order to protect purchasers of investment company securities. Since the Company will not register as an investment company, stockholders will not be afforded these protections.
 
Any securities which the Company might acquire in exchange for its Common Stock are expected to be “restricted securities” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). If the Company elects to resell such securities, such sale cannot proceed unless a registration statement has been declared effective by the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission or an exemption from registration is available. Section 4(1) of the Act, which exempts sales of securities not involving a distribution, would in all likelihood be available to permit a private sale. Although the plan of operation does not contemplate resale of securities acquired, if such a sale were to be necessary, the Company would be required to comply with the provisions of the Act to affect such resale.

An acquisition made by the Company may be in an industry which is regulated or licensed by federal, state or local authorities. Compliance with such regulations can be expected to be a time-consuming and expensive process.

Competition

The Company expects to encounter substantial competition in its efforts to locate attractive opportunities, primarily from business development companies, venture capital partnerships and corporations, venture capital affiliates of large industrial and financial companies, small investment companies, and wealthy individuals. Many of these entities will have significantly greater experience, resources and managerial capabilities than the Company and will therefore be in a better position than the Company to obtain access to attractive business opportunities.

Employees
 
As of December 31, 2009, the Company had no employees.
 
ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS
 
Risk Factors

There are several material risks associated with the Company.  You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, which constitute all of the material risks relating to the Company.  If any of the following risks are realized, our business, operating results and financial condition could be harmed.  This means investors could lose all or a part of their investment.
  
(a) CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. Certain conflicts of interest may exist between the Company and its officers, directors and principal shareholders. They have other business interests to which they devote their attention, and they will devote little time to the business of the Company. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise that can be resolved only through exercise of such judgment as is consistent with fiduciary duties to the Company. See “Management” and “Conflicts of Interest.”
 
(b) NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING. The Company has very limited funds, and such funds may not be adequate to take advantage of any available business opportunities. Even if the Company’s funds prove to be sufficient to acquire an interest in, or complete a transaction with, a business opportunity, the Company may not have enough capital to exploit the opportunity. The ultimate success of the Company may depend upon its ability to raise additional capital. The Company has not investigated the availability, source, or terms that might govern the acquisition of additional capital and will not do so until it determines a need for additional financing. If additional capital is needed, there is no assurance that funds will be available from any source or, if available, that they can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company. If not available, the Company’s operations will be limited to those that can be financed with its modest capital.
 
(c) REGULATION OF PENNY STOCKS. The Company’s securities may be subject to a Securities and Exchange Commission rule that imposes special sales practice requirements upon broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers or accredited investors. For purposes of the rule, the phrase “accredited investors” means, in general terms, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that, when combined with a spouse’s income, exceeds $300,000). For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company’s securities and also may affect the ability of purchasers in this offering to sell their securities in any market that might develop therefore.

In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate “penny stocks.” Such rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because the securities of the Company may constitute “penny stocks” within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to the Company and to its securities. The rules may further affect the ability of owners of Shares to sell the securities of the Company in any market that might develop for them.

 
9

 

Shareholders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange Commission, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) “boiler room” practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) 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.
 
(d) LACK OF OPERATING HISTORY. The majority interest in the Company was purchased in November 2007 for the purpose of seeking a business opportunity. Due to the special risks inherent in the investigation, acquisition, or involvement in a new business opportunity, the Company must be regarded as a new or start-up venture with all of the unforeseen costs, expenses, problems, and difficulties to which such ventures are subject.
 
(e) NO ASSURANCE OF SUCCESS OR PROFITABILITY. There is no assurance that the Company will acquire a favorable business opportunity. Even if the Company should become involved in a business opportunity, there is no assurance that it will generate revenues or profits, or that the market price of the Company’s Common Stock will be increased thereby.
 
(f) POSSIBLE BUSINESS - NOT IDENTIFIED AND HIGHLY RISKY. The Company has not identified and has no commitments to enter into or acquire a specific business opportunity and therefore can disclose the risks and hazards of a business or opportunity that it may enter into in only a general manner, and cannot disclose the risks and hazards of any specific business or opportunity that it may enter into. An investor can expect a potential business opportunity to be quite risky. The Company’s acquisition of or participation in a business opportunity will likely be highly illiquid and could result in a total loss of investment to the Company and its stockholders if the business or opportunity proves to be unsuccessful. See Item 1 “Description of Business.”
 
(g) TYPE OF BUSINESS ACQUIRED. The type of business to be acquired may be one that desires to avoid affecting its own public offering and the accompanying expense, delays, uncertainties, and federal and state requirements which purport to protect investors. Because of the Company’s limited capital, it is more likely than not that any acquisition by the Company will involve other parties whose primary interest is the acquisition of control of a publicly traded company. Moreover, any business opportunity acquired may be currently unprofitable or present other negative factors.
 
(h) IMPRACTICABILITY OF EXHAUSTIVE INVESTIGATION. The Company’s limited funds and the lack of full-time management will likely make it impracticable to conduct a complete and exhaustive investigation and analysis of a business opportunity before the Company commits its capital or other resources thereto. Decisions will therefore likely be made without detailed feasibility studies, independent analysis, market surveys and the like which, if the Company had more funds available to it, would be desirable. The Company will be particularly dependent in making decisions upon information provided by the promoter, owner, sponsor, or others associated with the business opportunity seeking the Company’s participation. A significant portion of the Company’s available funds may be expended for investigative expenses and other expenses related to preliminary aspects of completing an acquisition transaction, whether or not any business opportunity investigated is eventually acquired.
 
(i) LACK OF DIVERSIFICATION. Because of the limited financial resources that the Company has, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to diversify its acquisitions or operations. The Company’s probable inability to diversify its activities into more than one area will subject the Company to economic fluctuations within a particular business or industry and therefore increase the risks associated with the Company’s operations.
 
(j) RELIANCE UPON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The Company generally will require audited financial statements from companies that it proposes to acquire. In cases where no audited financials are available, the Company will have to rely upon interim period unaudited information received from target companies’ management that has not been verified by outside auditors. The lack of the type of independent verification which audited financial statements would provide, increases the risk that the Company, in evaluating an acquisition with such a target company, will not have the benefit of full and accurate information about the financial condition and recent interim operating history of the target company. This risk increases the prospect that the acquisition of such a company might prove to be an unfavorable one for the Company or the holders of the Company’s securities.

 
10

 

Moreover, the Company will be subject to the reporting provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and thus will be required to furnish certain information about significant acquisitions, including audited financial statements for any business that it acquires. Consequently, acquisition prospects that do not have, or are unable to provide reasonable assurances that they will be able to obtain, the required audited statements would not be considered by the Company to be appropriate for acquisition so long as the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act are applicable. Should the Company, during the time it remains subject to the reporting provisions of the Exchange Act, complete an acquisition of an entity for which audited financial statements prove to be unobtainable, the Company would be exposed to enforcement actions by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and to corresponding administrative sanctions, including permanent injunctions against the Company and its management. The legal and other costs of defending a Commission enforcement action would have material, adverse consequences for the Company and its business. The imposition of administrative sanctions would subject the Company to further adverse consequences. In addition, the lack of audited financial statements would prevent the securities of the Company from becoming eligible for listing on NASDAQ, or on any existing stock exchange.
 
Moreover, the lack of such financial statements is likely to discourage broker-dealers from becoming or continuing to serve as market makers in the securities of the Company. Without audited financial statements, the Company would almost certainly be unable to offer securities under a registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, and the ability of the Company to raise capital would be significantly limited until such financial statements were to become available.
 
(k) OTHER REGULATION. An acquisition made by the Company may be of a business that is subject to regulation or licensing by federal, state, or local authorities. Compliance with such regulations and licensing can be expected to be a time-consuming, expensive process and may limit other investment opportunities of the Company.
 
(l) LIMITED PARTICIPATION OF MANAGEMENT. The Company currently has only one individual who is serving as its sole officer and director on a very limited-time basis. The Company is therefore heavily dependent upon the skills, talents, and abilities of the principal shareholders to implement its business plan. See “Management.”
 
(m) LACK OF CONTINUITY IN MANAGEMENT. The Company does not have any employment agreements with its officers and directors, and as a result, there is no assurance they will continue to be associated with the Company in the future. In connection with acquisition of a business opportunity, it is likely the current officers and directors of the Company may resign subject to compliance with Section 14f of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. A decision to resign will be based upon the identity of the business opportunity and the nature of the transaction, and is likely to occur without the vote or consent of the stockholders of the Company.
 
(n) NO INDEPENDENT AUDIT COMMITTEE OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS. The Company does not have an independent Audit Committee of its Board of Directors. The entire Board of Directors functions as the Company’s Audit Committee. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) and rules and regulations adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Rules to implement the Sarbanes-Oxley Act impose certain standards on listed companies relative to the maintenance and operations of Board of Directors Audit Committees, including but not limited to the requirement that Audit Committees be appointed, that membership of such committees comprise only independent directors, that a financial professional be among the membership of such committee and that such committee be afforded an adequate operating budget and be able to employ independent professional advisors. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act also requires that the Audit Committee oversee the work of a company’s outside auditors and that the outside auditors be responsible to the Audit Committee. At this time, the Company is not in compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as they relate to independent Board of Directors Audit Committees. The Company believes that under rules and regulations adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to implement these provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act it is not required to comply with its requirements relating to the appointment of an Audit Committee of its Board of Directors and conforming with the enumerated standards and guidelines because the Company is not a “Listed Company” as defined therein. Notwithstanding, the Company may ultimately be determined not to be incompliance therewith and may therefore face penalties and restrictions on its operations until it comes into full compliance. Additionally, the Company’s failure to comply with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could preclude it from being listed on NASDAQ or any other stock exchanges until it can show that it is in compliance. The Company’s failure to be in compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could also present an impediment to a potential business combination where the target company intends that the Company apply for listing on NASDAQ or any other applicable stock exchanges.

 
11

 

(o) INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS. Delaware Statutes provide for the indemnification of its directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney’s fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on behalf of the Company. The Company will also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of its directors, officers, employees, or agents, upon such person’s promise to repay the Company therefor if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures by the Company which it will be unable to recoup.
 
(p) DEPENDENCE UPON OUTSIDE ADVISORS. To supplement the Company’s officers, directors and principal shareholders, the Company may be required to employ accountants, technical experts, appraisers, attorneys, or other consultants or advisors. The selection of any such advisors will be made by the Company without any input from stockholders. Furthermore, it is anticipated that such persons may be engaged on an “as needed” basis without a continuing fiduciary or other obligation to the Company. In the event the Company considers it necessary to hire outside advisors, such persons may be affiliates of the Company, if they are able to provide the required services.
 
(q) LEVERAGED TRANSACTIONS. There is a possibility that any acquisition of a business opportunity by the Company may be leveraged, i.e., the Company may finance the acquisition of the business opportunity by borrowing against the assets of the business opportunity to be acquired, or against the projected future revenues or profits of the business opportunity. This could increase the Company’s exposure to larger losses. A business opportunity acquired through a leveraged transaction is profitable only if it generates enough revenues to cover the related debt and expenses. Failure to make payments on the debt incurred to purchase the business opportunity could result in the loss of a portion or all of the assets acquired. There is no assurance that any business opportunity acquired through a leveraged transaction will generate sufficient revenues to cover the related debt and expenses.
 
(r) COMPETITION. The search for potentially profitable business opportunities is intensely competitive. The Company expects to be at a disadvantage when competing with many firms that have substantially greater financial and management resources and capabilities than the Company. These competitive conditions will exist in any industry in which the Company may become interested.
 
(s) NO FORESEEABLE DIVIDENDS. The Company has not paid dividends on its Common Stock and does not anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future.
 
(t) LOSS OF CONTROL BY PRESENT MANAGEMENT AND STOCKHOLDERS. The Company may consider an acquisition in which the Company would issue as consideration for the business opportunity to be acquired an amount of the Company’s authorized but unissued Common Stock that would, upon issuance, represent the great majority of the voting power and equity of the Company. The result of such an acquisition would be that the acquired company’s stockholders and management would control the Company, and the Company’s board of directors and management could be replaced by persons unknown at this time. Such a merger would result in a greatly reduced percentage of ownership of the Company by its current shareholders.

 
12

 
 
(u) RULE 144 SALES. The majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock held by present stockholders are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As restricted shares, these shares may be resold only pursuant to an effective registration statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other applicable exemptions from registration under the Act and as required under applicable state securities laws. Rule 144 provides in essence that a person who has held restricted securities for six months may, under certain conditions, sell every three months, in brokerage transactions, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1.0% of a company’s outstanding common stock or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to the sale. There is no limit on the amount of restricted securities that may be sold by a nonaffiliate after the restricted securities have been held by the owner for a period of one year. A sale under Rule 144 or under any other exemption from the Act, if available, or pursuant to subsequent registration of shares of Common Stock of present stockholders, may have a depressive effect upon the price of the Common Stock in any market that may develop. All shares become available for resale (subject to volume limitations for affiliates) under Rule 144, one year after date of purchase subject to applicable volume restrictions under the Rule.
 
Going Concern Qualification
 
Our auditors have prepared their report on the audited financial statements contained in this Annual Report on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business; however, currently such realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities are subject to significant uncertainties.
 
As shown in the accompanying audited financial statements, as of December 31, 2009 our current liabilities exceed our current assets by $130,012 and our total liabilities exceed our total assets by $130,012.  These factors, among others, indicate that we may be unable to continue existence.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in existence.
 
The appropriateness by the Company of continuing to use the aforementioned basis of accounting is dependent upon, among other things, the ability to maintain and increase existing credit facilities or raise additional capital.
 
No Rights of Dissenting Shareholders

The Company does not intend to provide Company shareholders with complete disclosure documentation including audited financial statements, concerning a possible target company prior to acquisition, because Delaware law vests authority in the Board of Directors to decide and approve matters involving acquisitions within certain restrictions. Any transaction would be structured as an acquisition, not a merger, with the Registrant being the parent company and the acquiree being merged into a wholly owned subsidiary.

ITEM 7.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
 
Overview
 
Yacht Finders, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on August 15, 2000 as Sneeoosh
Corporation. On October 20, 2000 the company filed an amended Certificate of Incorporation to change the name to Snohomish Corporation. On April 15, 2003 the company filed a subsequent amendment to change the name to Yacht Finders, Inc. Yacht Finder's Inc. business plan was to create an online database for public buyers and yacht brokers to interface immediately with each other while capturing the benefits of targeting a larger market.  On November 6, 2007, the Company discontinued its prior business and changed its business plan.  The Company’s business plan now consists of exploring potential targets for a business combination through the purchase of assets, share purchase or exchange, merger or similar type of transaction

 
15

 

The Company’s current business plan is to seek, investigate, and, if warranted, acquire one or more properties or businesses, and to pursue other related activities intended to enhance shareholder value. The acquisition of a business opportunity may be made by purchase, merger, exchange of stock, or otherwise, and may encompass assets or a business entity, such as a corporation, joint venture, or partnership.
 
Results of Operations
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of December 31, 2009, we had no cash, a working capital deficit of $130,012 and an accumulated deficit during the development stage of $179,812 through December 31, 2009.  Our operating activities used $55,115 in cash for the fiscal year period ended December 31, 2009, while our operations used $61,062 cash in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. We received $0.00 in revenue during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.
 
Management believes that the Company will require a cash infusion of at least $50,000 for the next twelve months.  Historically, we have depended on loans from our principal shareholders and their affiliated companies (to provide us with working capital as required.  There is no guarantee that such funding will be available when required and there can be no assurance that our stockholders, or any of them, will continue making loans or advances to us in the future.
 
At December 31, 2009, the Company had loans and notes outstanding from a shareholder in the aggregate amount of $67,510, which represents amounts loaned to the Company to pay the Company’s expenses of operation. On December 31, 2007, a shareholder payable was exchanged for a convertible promissory note with a principal balance of $11,366 due and payable on December 31, 2008. On March 31, 2008, an additional shareholder payable was exchanged for a convertible promissory note with a principal balance of $17,620 due and payable on March 31, 2009. On June 30, 2008, an additional shareholder payable was exchanged for a convertible promissory note with a principal balance of $11,669 due and payable on June 30, 2009. On September 30, 2008, an additional shareholder payable was exchanged for a convertible promissory note with a principal balance of $13,452 due and payable on September 30, 2009.  On December 31, 2008, the Company exchanged the convertible promissory notes dated December 31, 2007, March 31, 2008, June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2008, together with an additional shareholder payable in the amount of $13,403 for a promissory note in the amount of $67,510 bearing simple interest at a rate of 6% per annum due and payable on December 30, 2009. On March 31, 2009, the Payee under the Note and the Company executed a First Amendment to the Note whereby they agreed that additional shareholder advances in the amount of $13,680 would be considered as additional principal payable under the terms of the Note.  On June 30, 2009, the Payee under the Note and the Company executed a Second Amendment to the Note whereby they agreed that additional shareholder advances in the amount of $16,483 would be considered as additional principal payable under the terms of the Note. On September 30, 2009, the Payee under the Note and the Company executed a Third Amendment to the Note whereby they agreed that additional shareholder advances in the amount of $12,477 would be considered as additional principal payable under the terms of the Note.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to an investor in our securities.
 
Seasonality
 
Our operating results are not affected by seasonality.
 
Inflation
 
Our business and operating results are not affected in any material way by inflation.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The Securities and Exchange Commission issued Financial Reporting Release No. 60, "Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies" suggesting that companies provide additional disclosure and commentary on their most critical accounting policies.  In Financial Reporting Release No. 60, the Securities and Exchange Commission has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of a company's financial condition and operating results, and require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.  The nature of our business generally does not call for the preparation or use of estimates.  Due to the fact that the Company does not have any operating business, we do not believe that we do not have any such critical accounting policies.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Yacht Finders, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Yacht Finders, Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, and from April 15, 2003 (inception) through December 31, 2009.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our 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 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Yacht Finders, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, and from April 15, 2003 (inception) through December 31, 2009 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 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred operating losses since inception and has a net capital deficit at December 31, 2009, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plan in regard to these matters is also discussed in Note 1.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

YACHT FINDERS, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
 
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Yacht Finders, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on August 15, 2000 as Sneeoosh Corporation. On October 20, 2000 the company filed an amended Certificate of Incorporation to change the name to Snohomish Corporation. The Company did not conduct any operations until April 15, 2003, the date the Company entered the development stage. On April 15, 2003 the company filed a subsequent amendment to change the name to Yacht Finders, Inc. Yacht Finder's Inc. business plan was to create an online database for public buyers and yacht brokers to interface immediately with each other while capturing the benefits of targeting a larger market. On November 6, 2007, the Company discontinued its prior business and changed its business plan. The Company’s business plan now consists of exploring potential targets for a business combination through the purchase of assets, share purchase or exchange, merger or similar type of transaction. The Company is a development stage enterprise in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915 (Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 7).

 USE OF ESTIMATES

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

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company had $-0- cash and no cash equivalents at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The Company considers all highly liquid securities with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents.

LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

The Company reports loss per share using a dual presentation of basic and diluted loss per share. Basic loss per share excludes the impact of common stock equivalents and is determined by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities and other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. At December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, there were no variances between the basic and diluted loss per share as there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding.

INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") ASC-740 “Accounting for Income Taxes”.   ASC-740 requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

YACHT FINDERS, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
 
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In addition ASC-740 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes and has analyzed filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions.  The Company has identified its federal tax return and its state tax return in California as “major” tax jurisdictions, as defined.  The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flow.  Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to ASC-740.  The Company did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of ASC-740.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through February 9, 2010, the date the financial statements were issued, and no additional items were noted that need to be disclosed.

FISCAL YEAR-END

The Company operates on a December 31 year-end.

WARRANTS AND OPTIONS

There are no warrants or options outstanding to acquire any additional shares of common or preferred stock.

GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company generated net losses of $179,812 during the period of April 15, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2009. This condition raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to meet its obligations, to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon working capital advances provided by the Company's majority shareholder. There is no assurance that the working capital advances will continue in the future nor that Company will be successful in raising additional funds through other sources.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

ASC Topic 855 (Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.165, "Subsequent  Events,"  ("SFAS No. 165")) establishes  general standards of accounting for and  disclosure  of  events  that  occur  after the balance  sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.  SFAS 165 applies to both interim financial statements and annual financial statements.  SFAS  165  is  effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. SFAS 165 does not have a material impact on our financial statements.

YACHT FINDERS, INC.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ASC Topic 860 (Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 166, "Accounting  for  Transfers  of Financial Assets, an amendment to SFAS No. 140,"  ("SFAS  166")) eliminates  the  concept  of  a  "qualifying special-purpose entity,"  changes  the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures  in  order  to  enhance information reported  to  users  of financial statements by providing greater  transparency about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and an entity's continuing  involvement  in  and  exposure  to the risks related to transferred financial assets. SFAS 166 is effective for fiscal  years beginning after  November 15, 2009. The Company will adopt SFAS 166 in fiscal  2010.  The Company  does  not  expect  that  the adoption of SFAS 166 will have a material impact on the financial statements.

ASC Topic 810 (Statement of  Financial Accounting Standards No.167, "Amendments  to  FASB  Interpretation  No.  46(R),"   ("SFAS  167")) provides for: (1) the elimination of the exemption for qualifying special purpose entities, (2) a new approach for determining who should  consolidate  a variable-interest  entity,  and (3) changes to when it is necessary to reassess who should consolidate a variable-interest  entity.  SFAS  167 is effective for the  first annual reporting period beginning after November 15,  2009  and  for interim periods within that first annual reporting period.  The  Company  will adopt SFAS 167 in fiscal 2010. The Company does not expect that the adoption  of  SFAS  167  will  have  a  material  impact on the financial statements.

ASC Topic 105 (Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168,  "The FASB Accounting Standards  Codification  and  the  Hierarchy  of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles," ("SFAS 168")) replaces FASB Statement No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles", and establishes  the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification") as the source of authoritative  accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities  in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted  accounting principles ("GAAP"). SFAS 168 is effective for interim and annual periods  ending  after  September 15, 2009. The Company will begin to use the new Codification when referring  to  GAAP  in its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. This will not have an impact on the results of the Company.

(2) SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

The stockholders' equity section of the Company contains the following classes of capital stock as of December 31, 2009:

 
*
Preferred stock, $0.0001 par value: 20,000,000 shares authorized; -0- shares issued and outstanding.

 
*
Common stock, $0.0001 par value: 80,000,000 shares authorized; 5,199,000 shares issued and outstanding.

During March 2007, the Company sold 20,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $.50 per share for total proceeds of $10,000. The offering was made pursuant to the Company's SB-2 registration statement that became effective in 2006. All sales were conducted through the Company's then officer and director.

A reconciliation of the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate to the effective tax rate is as follows:

   
December 31,
 
       
   
2009
   
2008
 
U.S. statutory federal rate

Contributed rent
    %     %
Net operating loss for which no tax benefit is currently available
    -23.36 %     -23.03 %
      0.00 %     0.00 %

At December 31, 2009, deferred tax assets consisted of a net tax asset of $40,071, due to operating loss carryforwards of $174,411, which was fully allowed for, in the valuation allowance of $40,071 The valuation allowance offsets the net deferred tax asset for which there is no assurance of recovery. The changes in the valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 totaled $14,128 and $13,399, respectively. The current tax benefit for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2009 also totaled $14,128 and $13,399, respectively.  The net operating loss carryforward expires through the year 2029.

The valuation allowance will be evaluated at the end of each year, considering positive and negative evidence about whether the deferred tax asset will be realized. At that time, the allowance will either be increased or reduced; reduction could result in the complete elimination of the allowance if positive evidence indicates that the value of the deferred tax assets is no longer impaired and the allowance is no longer required.

Should the Company undergo an ownership change as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company's tax net operating loss carryforwards generated prior to the ownership change will be subject to an annual limitation, which could reduce or defer the utilization of these losses.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed an evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of December 31, 2009.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

YACHT FINDERS, INC.

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT

Management prepared, and is responsible for, the financial statements and the other information appearing in this annual report. The financial statements present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing its financial statements, the Company includes amounts that are based on estimates and judgments that Management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The Company’s financial statements have been audited by Cordovano and Honeck LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm appointed by the Company’s Board of Directors. Management has made available to Cordovano and Honeck LLP all of the Company’s financial records and related data, as well as the minutes of the stockholders’ and Directors’ meetings.

MANAGEMENT’S ASSESSMENT OF INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s Management and Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. This assessment was based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our assessment, we believe that as of December 31, 2009 the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

We do not currently have an audit committee financial expert, nor do we have an audit committee.  Our entire board of directors, which currently consists of Mr. Colligan, handles the functions that would otherwise be handled by an audit committee.  We do not currently have the capital resources to pay director fees to a qualified independent expert who would be willing to serve on our board and who would be willing to act as an audit committee financial expert.  As our business expands and as we appoint others to our board of directors we expect that we will seek a qualified independent expert to become a member of our board of directors.  Before retaining any such expert our board would make a determination as to whether such person is independent.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance.

Section 16(a) of the Securities Act of 1934 requires the Company's officers and directors, and greater than 10% stockholders, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of its securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Copies of the reports are required by SEC regulation to be furnished to the Company. Based on management's review of these reports during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, all reports required to be filed were filed on a timely basis.
 
Code of Ethics
 
Our board of directors has adopted a code of ethics that our officers, directors and any person who may perform similar functions are subject to.  Currently Mr. Colligan is our only officer and our sole director, therefore, he is the only person subject to the Code of Ethics.  If we retain additional officers in the future to act as our principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller or persons serving similar functions, they would become subject to the Code of Ethics.  The Code of Ethics does not indicate the consequences of a breach of the code.  If there is a breach, the board of directors would review the facts and circumstances surrounding the breach and take action that it deems appropriate, which action may include dismissal of the employee who breached the code.  Currently, since Mr. Colligan serves as the sole director and sole officer, he is responsible for reviewing his own conduct under the Code of Ethics and determining what action to take in the event of his own breach of the Code of Ethics.
 
ITEM 11.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.
 
No past officer or director of the Company has received any compensation and none is due or payable.  Our sole current officer and director, Thomas W. Colligan, does not receive any compensation for the services he renders to the Company, has not received compensation in the past, and is not accruing any compensation pursuant to any agreement with the Company.  We currently have no formal written salary arrangement with our sole officer.  Mr. Colligan may receive a salary or other compensation for services that he provides to the Company in the future.  No retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock option or insurance programs or other similar programs have been adopted by the Company for the benefit of the Company’s employees.

ITEM 14.  PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.
 
AUDIT FEES

The aggregate fees billed by our auditors, Cordovano and Honeck LLP, for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements for fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 and review our interim financial statements for the first, second and third quarters of 2009 are approximately $6,642.00. The aggregate fees billed by our auditors for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements for fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 were $6,200.00.

AUDIT-RELATED FEES
 
During the last two fiscal years, no fees were billed or incurred for assurance or related services by our auditors that were reasonably related to the audit or review of financial statements reported above.

TAX FEES
 
There were no tax preparation fees billed for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 or 2008.
 
ALL OTHER FEES
 
During the last two fiscal years, no other fees were billed or incurred for services by our auditors other than the fees noted above. Our board, acting as an audit committee, deemed the fees charged to be compatible with maintenance of the independence of our auditors.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES

We do not have a separate audit committee. Our full board of directors performs the functions of an audit committee. Before an independent auditor is engaged by us to render audit or non-audit services, our board of directors pre-approves the engagement. Board of directors pre-approval of audit and non-audit services will not be required if the engagement for the services is entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by our board of directors regarding our engagement of the independent auditor, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, our board of directors is informed of each service provided, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of our board of directors' responsibilities under the Exchange Act to our management. Our board of directors may delegate to one or more designated members of our board of directors the authority to grant pre-approvals, provided such approvals are presented to the board of directors at a subsequent meeting. If our board of directors elects to establish pre-approval policies and procedures regarding non-audit services, the board of directors must be informed of each non-audit service provided by the independent auditor. Board of directors pre-approval of non-audit services, other than review and attest services, also will not be required if such services fall within available exceptions established by the SEC. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, 100% of audit-related services, tax services and other services performed by our independent auditors were pre-approved by our board of directors.
 
Our board has considered whether the services described above under the caption "All Other Fees", which are currently none, is compatible with maintaining the auditor's independence.

The board approved all fees described above.
