Woodstock Holdings, Inc.

GENERAL

The Company is a holdings company, engaged through a subsidiary in full service securities brokerage and investment banking since 1995.  Effective January 20, 2010, we reorganized into a holding company and changed our name, transferring the name Woodstock Financial Group, Inc. (“WFG”) to a newly established 100% owned broker dealer subsidiary.

The Company reports its financial position and results of operations for 2009 and earlier periods on a pre-reorganization basis.  For reporting periods beginning February 2010, we will report our position and results of operations on a consolidated basis.

WFG is registered as a broker-dealer with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and 50 states, Puerto Rico, Washington D.C. and also as a municipal securities dealer with the Municipal Securities Regulation Board. WFG is subject to net capital and other regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We offer full service commission and fee based money management services to individual and institutional investors. WFG maintains a custody-clearing relationship with Southwest Securities, Inc. in Dallas, Texas, one of the largest publicly held custodians of brokerage firm securities in the United States.

WFG trades securities as an agent and a principal on exchanges such as the NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ. WFG maintains selling agreements with mutual fund families and insurance companies offering load and no load funds, annuities and insurance products.

Our Company headquarters is at 117 Towne Lake Parkway, Suite 200, Woodstock, Georgia 30188, and our telephone number is (770) 516-6996. We maintain branch and other offices in a number of other jurisdictions and a complement of approximately 111 independent retail brokers. Our net capital position as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, as calculated by Rule 15c3-1 of the SEC, was $781,846 and $1,154,757, respectively.

For the previous five years, our annual revenues are as follows:

Thus far, all expansion and growth has been funded by cash flows from operations and private sales of our securities. Our plans are to invest in advertising and recruiting efforts to continue our growth and profitability. We expand through recruiting additional registered representatives, establishing new branch offices, broadening our institutional services and creating new financial products and service offerings.

The Company’s website address is www.woodstockholdingsinc.com


BUSINESS

Our primary sources of revenue are derived from brokerage services and related financial activities.

HOLDING COMPANY REORGANIZATION


Effective January 20, 2010, we entered into a FINRA and SEC-approved reorganization in which we transferred our broker-dealer and insurance businesses, together with the name “Woodstock Financial Group, Inc.” to a newly-established wholly owned Georgia subsidiary. In turn, we changed our name to “Woodstock Holdings, Inc.”  Our trading symbol remains WSFL.  


 Other than these changes in corporate form, there has been no change in the ownership or management of the Company or of these businesses. The purpose of the reorganization is to position or firm to take advantage of new opportunities to grow and diversify in a post-recession environment. In addition., the reorganization promises to provide opportunities to improve the quality of management, internal controls and a reduction of operating costs by associating them more closely with the particular businesses being done. In this respect, the reorganization aligns our corporate structure more closely with that employed by other publicly traded firms in our business.

SECURITIES SALES SERVICES

WFG is a FINRA member broker-dealer providing securities sales services through a network of "independent contractor" registered representatives to several thousand retail clients. These representatives primarily retail stocks, mutual funds, variable annuities and variable life insurance products, managed account and other investment advisory and financial planning products and services. Commissions are charged on the sale of securities products, of which a percentage is shared with the representatives. Over 87% of our revenue during 2009 and 2008 has been derived from these securities sales services.

WFG’s independent contractors receive a commission payout of between 80% and 90%, on average.

INSURANCE PRODUCT SALES

Through several selling agreements with larger insurance companies, WFG offers a variety of insurance products, which are sold by our independent broker network. Variable annuity and variable life products from over 10 carriers are also offered, providing a large variety for consumers’ choice. While this business is not significant to date, in terms of dollar revenues, we regard it as an important part of the services provided.

ADVISORY AND PLANNING

WFG is also registered as an Investment Advisor with the SEC and provides investment supervisory services. Through WFG, our independent representatives are able to provide planning and consulting services in a variety of financial services areas such as financial planning, tax planning, benefits consulting, corporate 401(k)s and other types of financial structures. Fees are billed quarterly for these services and shared between WFG and the Investment Advisor Representatives on a fully disclosed basis. No significant amount of business has been derived from advisory and planning activities to date.

INTERNET TRADING

Trading investments on the Internet has become a standard among many investors. We believe that this method of trading will grow. At WFG, we created our Woodstock Discount Brokerage Division (“WDBD”) in early 1998 to participate in this growth area as well as to diversify the Company’s operations and assets. This capacity to offer Internet trading complements our full service business by attracting cost conscious investors who normally would not have been interested in the Company.

Through the WDBD site, investors have the opportunity to execute a trade at a cost which is competitive with the deep discount on-line brokerage firms. As a broker-dealer, we already have the facilities in place to do this; therefore, it does not add a great deal of expense. All clearing services are provided by the Company’s clearing agent and total cost of operations is minimal.

EXPANSION OF EXISTING BUSINESS

We believe that our business has been limited by our capital position and capital structure. With the reorganization and the ability to obtain increased capital, we will be able to expand our existing businesses as set forth below:

We intend to intensify our efforts to attract higher producing independent registered representatives by offering them a higher quality of service and a larger variety of financial products and service options to provide to their clients.

The expanded services include:

·

Improved sales and business development education and support services

·

Better continuing education programs

·

Enhanced electronic order processing, communications and record keeping

·

Improved compliance support and communications

·

Increased capacity to provide investment advisory and insurance services

·

Better contact with product and service suppliers

We also intend to expand our investment banking activities, hire additional brokers and market specialized products to retail and institutional clients.

CLEARING AGENT AND CUSTOMER CREDIT

WFG currently uses Southwest Securities, Inc. (the "Clearing Agent") as its clearing agent on a fully disclosed basis. The Clearing Agent processes all securities transactions and maintains the accounts of customers. Customer accounts are protected through the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) for up to $500,000, with coverage of cash balances limited to $100,000. The Clearing Agent provides through an Excess Securities Bond, an additional aggregate protection of $100 million per account above the SIPC coverage.

The services of the Clearing Agent include billing, credit control and receipt, and custody and delivery of securities. The Clearing Agent provides the operational support necessary to process, record and maintain securities transactions for our brokerage and distribution activities. The total cost of the Clearing Agent's services is closely monitored to determine the feasibility of our providing these services ourselves.

The Clearing Agent lends funds to our customers through the use of margin credit. These loans are made to customers on a secured basis, with the Clearing Agent maintaining collateral in the form of saleable securities, cash or cash equivalents. Under the terms of our clearing agreement, we indemnify the Clearing Agent for any loss on these credit arrangements. We have implemented policies to avoid possible defaults on margin loans by the increased supervision of customers with margin loans. Margin interest for the years ending December 31, 2009 and 2008 was approximately 1.4% and 1.6%, respectively, of revenues.

REGULATION

The securities business is subject to extensive and frequently changing federal and state laws and substantial regulation under such laws by the SEC and various state agencies and self-regulatory organizations, such as FINRA. Much of the regulation of broker-dealers has been delegated to self-regulatory organizations, principally FINRA, which has been designated by the SEC as WFG’s primary regulator. FINRA adopts rules (which are subject to approval by the SEC) that govern FINRA members and conducts periodic examinations of member firms' operations. We are also subject to regulation as a broker-dealer and investment advisor by state securities administrators in those states in which we conduct business.

Broker-dealers are subject to regulations which cover all aspects of the securities business, including sales methods and supervision, trading practices, use and safekeeping of customers' funds and securities, capital structure of securities firms, record keeping and reporting, continuing education and the conduct of directors, officers and employees. Investment advisors are subject to SEC and state regulation governing licensing of investment advisor representatives, disclosure to and communication with customers, bonding and investment and other managers.  Additional legislation, changes in rules promulgated by the SEC and self-regulatory organizations, or changes in the interpretation or enforcement of existing laws and rules, may directly affect the mode of operation and profitability of broker-dealers and investment advisors.

The SEC, self-regulatory organizations and state securities commissions may conduct administrative proceedings which can result in censure, fine, the issuance of cease-and-desist orders or the suspension or expulsion of a broker-dealer, its officers or employees. The principal purpose of regulation and discipline of broker-dealers is the protection of customers and the integrity of the securities markets.

Our mutual fund distribution business is subject to extensive regulation as to duties, affiliations, conduct and limitations on fees under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and the regulations of FINRA. As discussed above, the Company is a FINRA member. FINRA has prescribed rules with respect to maximum commissions, charges and fees related to investment in any open-end investment company registered under the 1940 Act.

NET CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

As a registered broker-dealer and a member firm of FINRA, WFG is subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule, Rule15c3-1, (the “Net Capital Rule”). The Net Capital Rule, which specifies minimum net capital requirements for registered brokers and dealers, is designed to measure the general financial integrity and liquidity of a broker-dealer and requires that at least a minimum part of its assets be kept in relatively liquid form. Net capital is essentially defined as net worth (assets minus liabilities), plus qualifying subordinated borrowings, less certain mandatory deductions that result from excluding assets not readily convertible into cash and from conservatively valuing certain other assets, such as a firm's positions in securities.



-6-





Among these deductions are adjustments in the market value of securities to reflect the possibility of a market decline prior to disposition. WFG has elected to compute its net capital under the standard aggregate indebtedness method permitted by the net capital rule, which requires that the ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital, both as defined, shall not exceed a 15-to-1 ratio. WFG’s required minimum net capital is $100,000. As of December 31, 2009, we had FINRA reported net capital of $781,846 and our ratio of aggregate indebtedness to net capital was .68 to 1.

Failure to maintain the required net capital may subject a firm to suspension or expulsion by FINRA, the SEC and other regulatory bodies and ultimately may require its liquidation. WFG has met or exceeded all net capital requirements since the Company’s inception. The net capital rule also prohibits payments of dividends, redemption of stock and the prepayment or payment in respect of principal of subordinated indebtedness, if net capital, after giving effect to the payment, redemption or repayment, would be less than a specified percentage of the minimum net capital requirement. Compliance with the net capital rule could limit those operations that require the intensive use of capital, such as underwriting and trading activities, and also could restrict our ability to withdraw capital, which in turn, could limit our ability to pay dividends, repay debt and redeem or purchase shares of our outstanding capital stock.

COMPETITION

We encounter intense competition in all aspects of our securities business and compete directly with other securities firms, a significant number of which have greater capital and other resources. In addition to competition from firms currently in the securities business, there has recently been increasing competition from other sources, such as commercial banks and insurance companies offering financial services, and from other investment alternatives. We believe that the principal factors affecting competition in the securities industry are the quality and abilities of professional personnel, including their ability to effectuate a firm's commitments, and the quality, range and relative prices of services and products offered.

Although we may expand the financial services we can render to our customers, we do not now offer as broad a range of financial services as national stock exchange member firms, commercial banks, insurance companies and others.

PERSONNEL

At December 31, 2009, we had 12 full-time employees in addition to approximately 111 registered representatives. None of our personnel is covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We consider our relationships with our employees to be good.

ITEM 2.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

Our principal executive offices are located at 117 Towne Lake Parkway, Suite 200, Woodstock, Georgia 30188 where the Company purchased 7,200 square feet of office space for approximately $1.2 million.

ITEM 3.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the normal course of business, WFG, as a regulated broker-dealer, is subject to examinations, inquiries and requests from customers, the SEC, FINRA and state regulators.  We are not aware of any matter at this time that would have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.

OVERVIEW AND GENERAL INDUSTRY CONDITIONS

Our primary sources of revenue are commissions earned from brokerage transaction and related financial services. To an immaterial degree to date, we derive revenues from investment advisory and insurance businesses.  Our principal business activities are, by their nature, affected by many factors, including general economic and financial conditions, movement of interest rates, security valuations in the marketplace, regulatory changes, competitive conditions, transaction volume and market liquidity. Consequently, our revenues can be volatile. While we seek to maintain cost controls, a significant portion of our expenses is fixed and does not vary with market activity. As a result, substantial fluctuations can occur in our revenue and net income from period to period. Unless otherwise indicated, in this section, references to years are to fiscal years.

Our subsidiary, WFG, is a licensed insurance broker and receives insurance commission revenue as a result of insurance operations. Our subsidiary, WFG, is a registered investment advisor and receives revenue from advisory fees.  The Company does not regard insurance commissions and advisory fee revenue as significant at this time.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 and 2008

Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased by $876,272, or 11%, to $8,933,165 from $8,056,893 for the comparable period in 2008.

Commission revenue for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased by $917,836, or 13%, to $7,946,575 from $7,028,739 for the comparable period in 2008.  The increase was due to an increase in managed accounts held at the clearing house and transactional business.

Interest and dividend income for the year ended December 31, 2009 decreased by $22,267, or 13%, to 148,705 from $170,972 compared to the comparable period in 2008. This decrease is due to the credit interest rate decreasing as well as the cash balances eligible for credit interest.

Other fees and income for the year ended December 31, 2009 decreased by $19,297, or 2%, to $837,885 from $857,182 for the comparable period in 2008. This decrease is due to a reduction in the fees charged to customers.

Total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased by $1,116,059, or 14%, to $9,171,991 from $8,055,932 for the comparable period in 2008.

Securities commissions to brokers for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased by $946,824, or 16%, to $6,793,388 from $5,846,564 for the comparable period in 2008. This increase is driven by the increase in commission revenues of transactional business.

Clearing costs for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased by $19,470, or 13%, to $166,444 from $146,974 for the comparable period in 2008.  As a percentage of commission income clearing costs were 2.1% in both 2009 and 2008.



-8-





Selling, general and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 increased $159,021, or 8%, to $2,135,372 compared to $1,976,351 for the comparable period in 2008.  This increase was due to the Company taking a write-off of $103,922 in the amount due from a broker’s account.  

The Company recorded no income tax expense or benefit for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. We have a net operating loss carryforward as of December 31, 2009, the utilization of which is dependent upon future taxable income.

Net loss was $238,826 for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to net profit of $961 for the comparable period in 2008.  


RELATED PARTIES


During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the majority shareholder received consulting fees from WFG in the amount of $154,000 and $130,000, respectively. In addition, WFG pays an override equal to 2.5% of revenues to the majority shareholder. The majority shareholder’s spouse also receives consulting fees of $120,000 annually. During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the majority shareholder also earned an override bonus of $222,308 and $201,040, respectively. Of the override bonus earned during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, $192,308 and $201,040, respectively, were paid. The unpaid 2009 override bonus of $30,000 is included in accounts payable at December 31, 2009.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our assets are reasonably liquid with a substantial majority consisting of cash and cash equivalents and receivables from other broker-dealers and our clearing agent, all of which fluctuate depending upon the levels of customer business and trading activity. Receivables from broker-dealers and our clearing agent turn over rapidly. Both our total assets, as well as the individual components as a percentage of total assets, may vary significantly from period to period because of changes relating to customer demand, economic, market conditions and proprietary trading strategies. Our total net assets at December 31, 2009 were $1,173,125, of which $633,674 is cash and cash equivalents.

Historically, we have financed our operations through cash flow from operations and the private placement of equity securities. We have not employed any significant leverage or debt.

We believe that our capital structure is adequate for our current operations. We continually review our overall capital and funding needs to ensure that our capital base can support the estimated needs of the business. These reviews take into account business needs, as well as the Company's regulatory capital requirements. Based upon these reviews, to take advantage of strengthening market conditions and to implement our expansion as fully as possible, we will continue to pursue avenues to decrease costs and increase our capital position.

The Company's cash and cash equivalents decreased by $342,776, or 35%, to $633,674 as of December 31, 2009, from $976,450 as of December 31, 2008. This decrease was due to cash used by operating activities of $265,370, cash used in investing activities of $3,378, and cash used in financing activities of $74,028. For more information on the cash flows of the Company, please see the statement of cash flows included in the Company’s financial statements appearing elsewhere herein.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION AND OTHER ECONOMIC FACTORS

Market prices of securities are generally influenced by changes in rates of inflation, changes in interest rates and economic activity. Our revenues and net income are, in turn, principally affected by changes in market prices and levels of market activity. Moreover, the rate of inflation affects our expenses, such as employee compensation, occupancy expenses and communications costs, which may not be readily recoverable in the prices of services offered to our customers. To the extent inflation, interest rates or levels of economic activity adversely affect market prices of securities, our financial condition and results of operations will also be adversely affected.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors and Shareholders



We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Woodstock Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended.  The financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008 were audited by other auditors, whose report dated February 24, 2009, expressed an unqualified opinion.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.


We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Woodstock Financial Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


Our audit was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The information contained in the Supplemental Schedule is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by Rule 17a-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly presented in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Notes to Financial Statements

Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Business

Woodstock Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”) is a full service securities brokerage firm, which has been in business since 1995.  The Company is registered as a broker-dealer with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) in 50 states, Puerto Rico, Washington D.C. and also as a municipal securities dealer with the Municipal Securities Regulation Board.  The Company is subject to net capital and other regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company offers full service commission and fee-based money management services to individual and institutional investors.  The Company maintains a custody-clearing relationship with Southwest Securities, Inc.  In 2005, the Company, as a registered investment advisor, created a managed account program named The RFG Stars Program (“RFG Stars”).  Through RFG Stars, the Company provides investment advisory services to clients.  RFG Stars client accounts are maintained with Fidelity Registered Investment Advisor Group (“FRIAG”), an arm of Fidelity Investments.  FRIAG provides brokerage, custody, and clearing services to RFG Stars clients and Southwest Securities, Inc.


Basis of Presentation

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and to general practices within the broker-dealer industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.


Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, clearing deposit and commissions receivable.


Cash and cash equivalents and the clearing deposit are deposited in various financial institutions. At times, amounts on deposit may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. At December 31, 2009, approximately $225,000 of cash deposits was in excess of the FDIC limit.


At December 31, 2009, commissions receivable were approximately $547,000, and all were due from Southwest Securities, Inc.


Revenue Recognition and Commissions Receivable

Commissions represent transactions processed and net fees charged to customers per transaction for buy and sell transactions processed. Commissions are recorded on a settlement date basis, which does not differ materially from trade date basis.


Advertising

The Company recognizes advertising costs as incurred in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations. The amount of advertising expense recognized in 2009 and 2008 was approximately $18,000 and $15,000, respectively


Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include short-term deposits and highly liquid investments that have original maturities of three months or less when purchased and are stated at cost.

 

Building and  Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment

Building and furniture, fixtures and equipment are reported at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of furniture, fixtures and equipment is computed using the double declining balance method over the estimated useful life of five years.  Depreciation of the building is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 39 years.  



-17-



WOODSTOCK FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.


Notes to Financial Statements



The cost of maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the useful life of the respective asset, is charged to earnings as incurred, whereas significant renewals and improvements are capitalized.  


Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Additionally, the recognition of future tax benefits, such as net operating loss carryforwards, is required to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the assets and liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income tax expense in the period that includes the enactment date.


In the event the future tax consequences of differences between the financial reporting bases and the tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities result in deferred tax assets, an evaluation of the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such asset is required. A valuation allowance is provided for the portion of the deferred tax asset when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In assessing the realizability of the deferred tax assets, management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies.


The Company files income tax returns in the United States and Georgia, which are subject to examination by the tax authorities in these jurisdictions. Generally, the statute of limitations related to the Company’s federal and state income tax return is three years. The state impact of any federal changes for prior years remains subject to examination for a period up to five years after formal notification to the states.


Treasury Stock

Treasury stock is accounted for by the cost method.  Subsequent reissuances are accounted for at average cost.


Net Earnings Per Share

During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had potential common stock issuances outstanding totaling 865,000 shares related to preferred stock.  The effect of the convertible preferred stock issuances would be antidilutive because the exercise price is more than the fair value of the stock. The effect of these potential common stock issuances has been excluded from the computation of net earnings per share for each year.  Additionally, as of December 31, 2009, the Company had options outstanding.  The effect of these options was also not considered due to their antidilutive effect.  

Presented below is a summary of earnings (loss) per common share for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008:

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company sponsors a stock-based incentive compensation plan for the benefit of certain employees.  The Company accounts for this plan under the recognition and measurement principles of the Accounting Standards Codification 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-01, Topic 105 - Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - amendments based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This ASU reflected the issuance of FASB Statement No. 168. This Accounting Standards Update amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the issuance of FASB Statement No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This Accounting Standards Update includes Statement No. 168 in its entirety, including the accounting standards update instructions contained in Appendix B of the Statement. The Codification does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009, and as of the effective date, all existing accounting standard documents were superseded. The Codification was effective for the third quarter of 2009, and accordingly, all subsequent public filings will reference the Codification as the sole source of authoritative literature.


In June 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-02, Omnibus Update-Amendments to Various Topics for Technical Corrections. This omnibus ASU detailed amendments to various topics for technical corrections. The adoption of ASU 2009-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.


In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-03, SEC Update - Amendments to Various Topics Containing SEC Staff Accounting Bulletins. This ASU updated cross-references to Codification text. The adoption of ASU 2009-03 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. 

 

In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) - Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value. This ASU amends Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures to provide guidance on the fair value measurement of liabilities. The adoption of ASU 2009-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.


In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-07, Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs. This Accounting Standards Update corrected SEC paragraphs in response to comment letters. The adoption of ASU 2009-07 did not have material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ITEM 9A.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our financial reporting controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 15d-15. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company that is required to be included in our periodic filings with the SEC. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or, to management’s knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect those internal controls subsequent to the date we carried out our evaluation, and there has been no corrective actions with respect to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-5(f) under the Exchange Act). Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on these criteria. This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our internal control over financial reporting would prevent all error and all 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. Because of 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, within the Company have been detected.  The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of internal control over financial reporting are met.
