This
Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward looking statements that are made
pursuant to the Safe Harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements involve risks,
uncertainties and assumptions as described from time to time in registration
statements, annual reports, and other periodic reports and filings of the
Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All statements,
other than statements of historical facts, which address the Company’s
expectations of sources of capital or which express the Company’s expectation
for the future with respect to financial performance or operating strategies can
be identified as forward-looking statements. As a result, there can be no
assurance that the Company’s future results will not be materially different
from those described herein as “believed,” “anticipated,” “estimated” or
“expected,” which reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future
events. We caution readers that these forward-looking statements speak
only as of the date hereof. The Company hereby expressly disclaims any
obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any
such statement to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations or any change
in events, conditions or circumstances on which such statement is
based.

1. BUSINESS
General
BEAUTY
BRANDS GROUP, INC. ("We", "Us" or the "Company") is a Florida corporation and
was incorporated in 1968 as “Chemair Corporation of America.” In
February 1983, the Company changed its name to Beauty Brands Group,
Inc.
The
Company is now considering business opportunities for merger or acquisition that
might create value for its shareholders. We have no day-to-day
operations. Our officers and directors devote limited time and
attention to the affairs of the Company.
Selection
of a Business
Management
has adopted a conservative policy of seeking opportunities that it considers to
be of exceptional quality. Therefore, we may have to wait some time before
consummating a suitable transaction. Management recognizes that the higher the
standards it imposes upon us, the greater may be its competitive disadvantage
when vying with other acquiring interests or entities.
The
Company does not intend to restrict its consideration to any particular business
or industry segment. Due to our lack of financial resources, the scope and
number of suitable business ventures is limited. We are therefore most likely to
participate in a single business venture. Accordingly, the Company may not be
able to diversify and may be limited to one merger or acquisition. The lack of
diversification would prevent us from offsetting losses from one business
opportunity against profits from another.
-3-
The
decision to participate in a specific business opportunity will be made upon
management’s analysis of the quality of the opportunity’s management and
personnel, the anticipated acceptability of products or marketing concepts, the
merit of technological changes and numerous other factors which are difficult,
if not impossible, to analyze through the application of any objective criteria.
Further, it is anticipated that the historical operations of a specific venture
may not necessarily be indicative of the potential for the future because of the
necessity to substantially shift a marketing approach, expand operations, change
product emphasis, change or substantially augment management, or make other
changes. The Company will be partially dependent upon the management of any
given business opportunity to identify such problems and to implement, or be
primarily responsible for the implementation of required changes.
Since we
may participate in a business opportunity with a newly organized business or
with a business which is entering a new phase of growth, it should be emphasized
that the Company may incur risk due to the failure of the target’s management to
have proven its abilities or effectiveness, or the failure to establish a market
for the target’s products or services, or the failure to realize
profits.
The
Company does not intend to acquire or merge with any company for which audited
financial statements cannot be obtained. Never-the-less, management
anticipates that any opportunity in which we participate will present certain
risks. Many of these risks cannot be adequately identified prior to selection of
a specific opportunity. Our shareholders must therefore depend on the ability of
management to identify and evaluate such risks. Further, in the case of some of
the opportunities available to us, it may be anticipated that some of such
opportunities are yet to develop as going concerns or that some of such
opportunities are in the development stage in that same have not generated
significant revenues from principal business activities prior to our
participation.
Acquisition
of Business
Implementation
of a structure for any particular business acquisition may involve a merger,
consolidation, reorganization, joint venture, franchise or licensing agreement
with another corporation or entity. The Company may also purchase stock or
assets of an existing business. On the completion of a transaction, it is
possible that present management and shareholders of the Company would not
remain in control of the Company. Further, our officers and directors may, as
part of the terms of any transaction, resign, to be replaced by new officers and
directors without a vote of our shareholders.
We
anticipate that any securities issued in any such reorganization would be issued
in reliance on exemptions from registration under applicable federal and state
securities laws. However, in certain circumstances, as a negotiated element of
any transaction, the Company may agree to register securities either at the time
a transaction is consummated, under certain conditions, or at a specified time
thereafter. The issuance of substantial additional securities and their
potential sale into any trading market may have a depressive effect on such
market.
While the
actual terms of a transaction to which the Company may be a party cannot be
predicted, it may be expected that the parties to a business transaction will
find it desirable to avoid the creation of a taxable event and thereby structure
the acquisition in a so called “tax-free” reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). In order to
obtain tax-free treatment under the Code, it may be necessary for the owners of
the acquired business to own 80% or more of the voting stock of the surviving
entity. In such event, our shareholders would retain less than 20% of the issued
and outstanding shares of the surviving entity, which could result in
significant dilution in the equity of such shareholders.
Our due
diligence process will likely require that management meet personally with the
personnel involved in any given transaction, visit and inspect material
facilities, obtain independent analysis or verification of the information
provided, check references for management and key persons, and take other
reasonable investigative measures, to the extent of our limited financial
resources and management expertise.
-4-
The
manner in which we participate in an opportunity will depend on the nature of
the opportunity, the respective needs and desires of the Company and other
parties, the management of the opportunity, and the our relative negotiating
strengths. Negotiations that involve mergers or acquisitions will focus on the
percentage of the Company that the target company shareholders would acquire in
exchange for their shareholdings in the target company. Depending upon, among
other things, the target company’s assets and liabilities, our shareholders will
in all likelihood hold a lesser percentage ownership interest in the Company
following any merger or acquisition. The percentage ownership may be subject to
significant reduction in the event the Company acquires a target company with
substantial assets. Any merger or acquisition effected by the Company can be
expected to have a significant dilutive effect on the percentage of shares held
by our current shareholders.
Operation
of Business After Acquisition
The
Company’s operation following its merger with, or acquisition of a business will
be dependent on the nature of the business and the interest acquired. We are
unable to determine at this time whether the Company will be in control of the
business or whether present management will be in control of the Company
following the acquisition. We may expect that any future business will present
various challenges that cannot be predicted at the present time.
Item
1A. RISK FACTORS
IN
ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THIS REPORT, YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY
CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING FACTORS IN EVALUATING OUR BUSINESS, OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION. ADDITIONAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES NOT PRESENTLY KNOWN TO
US, THAT WE CURRENTLY DEEM IMMATERIAL OR THAT ARE SIMILAR TO THOSE FACED BY
OTHER COMPANIES IN OUR INDUSTRY OR BUSINESS IN GENERAL, SUCH AS COMPETITIVE
CONDITIONS, MAY ALSO IMPAIR OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS. THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY OF
THE FOLLOWING RISKS COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS,
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
We Incurred Losses for the
Years Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and May Not Become a Profitable
Enterprise.
We
incurred an operating loss of $25,782 for the year ended December 31, 2009
and approximately $28,262 for the year ended December 31,
2008. Our profitability is dependent upon management’s ability to
identify a business acquisition and thereafter generate revenues and develop
profitable operations. There can be no assurances that we will achieve our goal
of profitable operations.
We Have Limited Resources
and No Revenues From Operations, and Will Need Additional Financing in Order to
Execute any Business Plan.
We have
limited resources, no revenues from operations to date and our cash on hand may
not be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements during the next twelve
months. In addition, we will not achieve any revenues (other than insignificant
investment income) until, at the earliest, the consummation of a merger and we
cannot ascertain our capital requirements until such time. Further limiting our
abilities to achieve revenues, in order to avoid status as an “Investment
Company” under the Investment Company Act, we can only invest our funds prior to
a merger in limited investments which do not invoke Investment Company status.
There can be no assurance that determinations ultimately made by us will permit
us to achieve our business objectives.
-5-
We Will Most Likely Be Abele
To Effect, At Most, One Merger, and Thus, May Not Have A Diversified
Business.
Our
resources are limited and we will most likely have the ability to effect only a
single merger. This probable lack of diversification will subject us to numerous
economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have
a material adverse impact upon the particular industry in which we may operate
subsequent to the consummation of a merger. We will become dependent upon the
development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products,
processes or services.
Government
Regulation
The
Company cannot anticipate the government regulations, if any, to which we may be
subject until it has acquired an interest in a business. The use of assets to
conduct a business that the Company may acquire could subject it to
environmental, public health and safety, land use, trade, or other governmental
regulations and state or local taxation. Our selection of a business in which to
acquire an interest will include an effort to ascertain, to the extent of the
limited resources of the Company, the effects of any government regulation on
the prospective business of the Company. However, in certain circumstances, such
as the acquisition of an interest in a new or start-up business activity, it may
not be possible to predict with any degree of accuracy the impact of government
regulation.
Competition
We may be
involved in intense competition with other business entities, many of which will
likely have a competitive edge over us by virtue of their stronger financial
resources and prior experience in business. The Company can provide no assurance
that it will be successful in obtaining a suitable business
opportunity.
Marketability
As we
currently are not involved in selling products or services, there can be no
assurance that we will be successful in marketing any such products or services
or whether a market will develop.
Patents, Trademarks,
Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements and Labor
Contracts
We
currently have no patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises, concessions,
royalty agreements or labor contracts.
Research and
Development
We spent
no amounts on research and development activities during each of the last two
fiscal years.
Employees
The
Company currently has no employees. Management uses attorneys and
accountants as necessary and does not plan to engage any full-time employees in
the near future.
Currently,
the Company has no operating business. It is the intention of the
current management to locate a new business opportunity, either by acquisition
of assets, stock or as a result of a merger.
We Will Continue to Incur
Increased Costs as a Result of Being a Reporting Company
We have
incurred, and expect to continue to incur, increased general and administrative
expenses as a reporting company. We also believe that compliance with the myriad
rules and regulations applicable to reporting companies and related compliance
issues will divert time and attention of management away from operating and
growing our business.
-6-
Being a
public company also increases the risk of exposure to class action stockholder
lawsuits and SEC enforcement actions, and increases the expense to obtain
appropriate director and officer liability insurance on acceptable or even
reduced policy limits and coverage. As a result, we may find it more difficult
to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as
executive officers.
Control by an Existing
Shareholder.
FormCap
Advisory, LLC beneficially owns over 98% of the outstanding shares of our Common
Stock. As a result, this shareholder is able to exercise control over
matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors, and
the approval of mergers, consolidations and sales of all or substantially all of
our assets. Mr. Altucher, the company’s Chairman and President and
Mr. Kelly, a Director and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, are the owners
and managing members of FormCap Advisory, LLC.
Our
Common Stock Is A “Penny Stock” Which May Restrict The Ability Of Stock Holders
To Sell Our Common Stock In The Secondary Market.
The SEC
has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity
security that has a market price, as defined, of less than $5.00 per share, or
an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions,
including an exception of an equity security that is quoted on a national
securities exchange. Our Common Stock is not now quoted on a national exchange
but is traded on Nasdaq’s OTC Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”). Thus, they are subject
to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers
who sell these securities. For example, the broker-dealer must make a special
suitability determination for the purchaser of such securities and have received
the purchaser’s written consent to the transactions prior to the purchase.
Additionally, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a
disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The
broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the
broker-dealer and the registered underwriter, and current quotations for the
securities, and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the
broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control
over the market. Finally, among other requirements, monthly statements must be
sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account
and information on the limited market in penny stocks. The “penny stock” rules,
may restrict the ability of our stockholders to sell our Common Stock and
warrants in the secondary market.
Our Common Stock Has Been
Thinly Traded, Liquidity Is Highly Limited, And We May Be Unable to Obtain
Listing Of Our Common Stock On A More Liquid Market.
Our
Common Stock is quoted on the OTCBB, which provides significantly less liquidity
than a securities exchange (such as the NYSE Amex or New York Stock Exchange) or
an automated quotation system (such as the Nasdaq Global Market or Capital
Market). There is uncertainty that we will ever be accepted for a listing on an
automated quotation system or national securities exchange.
Often
there is currently a limited volume of trading in our Common Stock, and on many
days there has been no trading activity at all. The purchasers of shares of our
Common Stock may find it difficult to resell their shares at prices quoted in
the market or at all.
We May Issue Additional
Shares of Common Stock or Other Securities Which Could Dilute the Value of Our
Stockholders’ Securities.
Certain
events over which stockholders have no control could result in the issuance of
additional shares of our Common Stock, which could dilute the value of an
individual stockholder’s ownership in the Company. We may issue additional
shares of Common Stock or other securities:
To
raise additional capital;
|
|
Upon
the exercise or conversion of outstanding options and stock purchase
warrants;
|
|
In
connection with loans or other capital raising transactions;
or
|
|
In
connection with acquisitions of other businesses or
assets.
|
-7-
We Are Not Required to Meet
or Maintain Any Listing Standards for Our Common Stock to Be Quoted on the OTC
Bulletin Board, Which Could Affect Our Stockholders’ Ability to Access Trading
Information about Our Common Stock.
The
OTC Bulletin Board
is separate and distinct from the NASDAQ Stock Market. Although the OTC Bulletin
Board is a regulated quotation service operated by the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”) that displays real-time quotes, last sale
prices, and volume information in over-the-counter equity securities like our
Common Stock, we are not required to meet or maintain any qualitative or
quantitative listing standards for our Common Stock to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Our
Common Stock does not presently meet the minimum listing standards for listing
on the NASDAQ Stock Market or any national securities exchange which could
affect our stockholders’ ability to access trading information about our Common
Stock.
The
OTC Bulletin Board
is generally considered to be a less efficient market than the established
exchanges or the NASDAQ markets. While we anticipate seeking to be listed on the
NASDAQ Stock Market or a national exchange at some time in the future, it is
impossible at this time to predict when, if ever, such application will be made
or whether such application will be successful.
We Do Not Intend to Pay
Dividends.
We
currently intend to retain any future earnings to fund growth and, therefore, do
not expect to pay any dividends to our stockholders in the foreseeable
future.

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANAYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATION
|
This
management’s Plan of Operation and Results of Operations and other parts of this
report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
Forward-looking statements can also be identified by words such as
“anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,” “plans,” “predicts,” and similar terms.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and our
actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the
forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include,
but are not limited to, those discussed in the subsections entitled “Forward-Looking Statements and
Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition” below and
the subsection entitled “Risk
Factors” above. The following discussion should be read in conjunction
with our financial statements and notes thereto included in this report. All
information presented herein is based on our fiscal year ended December 31,
2009.
-9-
General: Plan of
Operation
The
Company’s plan of operation for the coming year is to identify and acquire a
favorable business opportunity. The Company does not plan to limit its options
to any particular industry, but will evaluate each opportunity on its
merits.
The
Company has not yet entered into any agreement, nor does it have any commitment
or understanding to enter into or become engaged in any transaction, as of the
date of this filing.
Capital Resources and
Liquidity
The
Company had no assets as of December 31, 2009. Stockholders’ deficit
in the Company was $0 at December 31, 2009.
The
Company had negative cash flows from operations of $25,782 and $33,134 for the
years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Shareholders of
the Company paid expenses totaling $58,916 for the period from January 1, 2008
to December 31, 2009, including accounting, administration, consulting and
professional fees.
The
Company had cash flows from financing activities of $25,782 and $33,134 for the
years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
The
Company’s current assets are insufficient to conduct its plan of operation over
the next twelve (12) months and it may have to seek debt or equity financing to
fund minimum operations. The Company has no current commitments or arrangements
with respect to, or immediate sources of funding. Further, no assurances can be
given that funding, if needed, would be available or available to the Company on
acceptable terms. The Company’s shareholders would be the most likely source of
new funding in the form of loans or equity placements though none have made any
commitment for future investment and the Company has no agreement formal or
otherwise. The Company’s inability to obtain funding would have a material
adverse affect on its plan of operation.
The
Company has no current plans for the purchase or sale of any plant or
equipment.
The
Company has no employees and has no current plans to make any changes in the
number of employees.
The
Company has no defined benefit plan or contractual commitment with any of its
officers or directors.
Results of
Operations
During
the year ended December 31, 2009, and for the year to date, the Company’s
operations were limited to seeking to identify prospective business
opportunities.
We do not
expect to generate revenues within the next twelve months of operation or ever,
since we have yet to acquire a favorable business opportunity, which opportunity
if acquired, may or may not produce revenue.
For the
current fiscal year, the Company anticipates incurring a loss as a result of
administration expenses, accounting costs, and expenses associated with
maintaining its disclosure obligations under the Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (“Exchange Act”). Since we do not anticipate generating any revenues in
the near term we will continue to operate at a loss.
Net Loss
For the
years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded an operating loss
of $25,782 and $28,262, respectively. The Company’s operating
loss is attributable to general and administrative expenses. The general and
administrative expenses include accounting costs and costs associated with the
preparation of disclosure documentation in connection with registration pursuant
to the Exchange Act of 1934 as well as costs associated with the Company’s
search for a suitable business opportunity. We did not generate any
revenues during this period.
-10-
We expect
to continue to operate at a loss through fiscal 2010 and due to the nature of
the Company’s search for a suitable business opportunity cannot determine
whether we will ever generate revenues from operations.
Capital
Expenditures
The
Company expended no amounts on capital expenditures for the years ended December
31, 2009 and 2008.
Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements
As of December 31, 2009, we have no
off-balance sheet arrangements such as guarantees, retained or contingent
interest in assets transferred, obligation under a derivative instrument and
obligation arising out of or a variable interest in an unconsolidated
entity.
Commitments
We do not
have any commitments which are required to be disclosed in tabular form as of
December 31, 2009.
Forward Looking Statements
and Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial
Condition
The
statements contained in the section titled Management’s Plan of Operation, with
the exception of historical facts, are forward looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act. A safe-harbor provision may not be
applicable to the forward looking statements made in this prospectus because of
certain exclusions under Section 27A (b). Forward looking statements reflect our
current expectations and beliefs regarding our future results of operations,
performance, and achievements. These statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties and are based upon assumptions and beliefs that may or may not
materialize. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements
concerning:
— our
anticipated financial performance and business plan;
— the
sufficiency of existing capital resources;
— our
ability to raise additional capital to fund cash requirements for future
operations;
—
uncertainties related to the Company’s future business prospects;
— the
ability of the Company to generate revenues to fund future
operations;
— the
volatility of the stock market and;
— general
economic conditions.
We wish
to caution readers that the Company’s operating results are subject to various
risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially
from those discussed or anticipated, including the factors set forth in the
section entitled “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this report. We also wish
to advise readers not to place any undue reliance on the forward looking
statements contained in this report, which reflect our beliefs and expectations
only as of the date of this report. We assume no obligation to update or revise
these forward looking statements to reflect new events or circumstances or any
changes in our beliefs or expectations, other that is required by
law.

Critical Accounting
Policies
Our financial statements and
accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally
accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of
financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
We regularly evaluate the accounting
policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. In
general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on
information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions
that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual
results could differ from those estimates made by management.
Going
Concern
Due to the uncertainty of our ability
to meet our current operating expenses and the capital expenses noted above, in
their report on the annual financial statements as of December 31, 2009, our
independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph
regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our
financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the
circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent registered public
accounting firm.
The Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern is subject to the ability of the Company to realize a profit
and/or obtain funding from outside sources. Management’s plan to address the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern includes: (1) obtaining funding
from related party advances and private placement sources; (2) obtaining
additional funding from the sale of the Company’s securities; (3) establishing
revenues from prospective business opportunities; (4) obtaining loans and grants
from various financial institutions where possible. Although management believes
that it will be able to obtain the necessary funding to allow the Company to
remain a going concern through the methods discussed above, there can be no
assurances that such methods will prove successful.

Item
8. FINACIAL STATEMENTS AND FINANCIAL DATA
REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board Directors
Beauty
Brands Group, Inc.
New York,
New York
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of Beauty Brands Group, Inc. (“Beauty
Brands”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related statements of
expenses, shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of Beauty Brands' management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. Beauty Brands is not required to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audits 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 Beauty Brands internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Beauty Brands Group, Inc. as of
December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of operations and cash flows for the
years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Beauty Brands
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial
statements, Beauty Brands suffered recurring losses from operations and has no
assets, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters also are described in Note
2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result
from the outcome of this uncertainty.

BEAUTY
BRANDS GROUP, INC.
NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF
BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Beauty
Brands Group, Inc. is a holding company that was incorporated in Florida in
1968. It began operations as Chemair and later changed its name to Beauty Brands
Group, Inc. The company ceased all operations in 1993 and is
currently seeking candidates to acquire its stock or to complete a
merger.
Use of
Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While it is
believed that such estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ
significantly from those estimates.
Cash and Cash
Equivalents. Beauty Brands considers all highly liquid
investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.
Revenue
Recognition. Beauty Brands has no revenues.
Income
taxes. Beauty Brands recognizes deferred tax assets and
liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases
of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected
to be in effect when the differences are expected to be
recovered. Beauty Brands provides a valuation allowance for deferred
tax assets for which it does not consider realization of such assets to be more
likely than not.
Basic and diluted net loss
per share. The basic net loss per common share is computed by
dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by
dividing the net loss adjusted on an "as if converted" basis, by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive
securities. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, there
were no potential dilutive securities.
Stock based
compensation. Beauty Brands adopted ACS 718 on January 1,
2006 using the modified prospective method. ACS 718 requires all
share-based payments to employees, including stock options, to be expensed based
on their fair value over the required award service period. Beauty Brands uses
the straight line method to recognize compensation expense related to
share-based payments. In prior years, Beauty Brands followed Accounting
Principles Board No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” in
accounting for its stock option awards to employees, which required recording
share-based compensation expense for awards that were issued at exercise prices
less than fair value at the date of grant. For Beauty Brand’s non-employees,
share-based expense is recorded in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force
No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other
Than Employees for Acquistion, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or
Services.”
Recently issued accounting
pronouncements. The
Company implemented ASC 855 , Subsequent Events . This standard establishes
general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after
the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. The adoption
of ASC 855 did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of
operations. The Company evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after
December 31, 2009 up through March 31, 2010 the date the Company issued
these financial statements. During this period, the Company had no
subsequent events.
Beauty
Brands does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements
to have a significant impact on Beauty Brand’s results of operations, financial
position or cash flow.
F-6
NOTE 2 – GOING
CONCERN
Beauty
Brands incurred net losses and negative cash flows from operations in fiscal
years 2009 and 2008. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to
Beauty Brands’ ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if Beauty Brands is
unable to continue as a going concern. Management is trying to raise additional
capital through sales of common stock as well as seeking viable candidates to
purchase the Company.
NOTE 3 – CAPITAL
CONTRIBUTION AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
$25,782
and $33,134 of expenses were paid in 2009 and 2008, respectively, on behalf of
Beauty Brands by the shareholders and is reflected as a capital contribution and
an expense for Beauty Brands.
Beauty
Brands principal office is in the office of Beauty Brands principal shareholder
pursuant to a verbal agreement on a rent-free month-to-month basis.
NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES AND
CHANGE OF CONTROL
Beauty
Brands uses the liability method, where deferred tax assets and liabilities are
determined based on the expected future tax consequences of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
and income tax reporting purposes. During fiscal years ended
2009 and 2008, Beauty Brands incurred net losses and, therefore, has no tax
liability. The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss
carry-forward has been fully reserved. The cumulative net operating
loss carry-forward is approximately $25,000 at December 31, 2009, and will
expire in the years through 2029.
Internal Revenue Section 382 restricts
the ability to use these carryforwards whenever an ownership change as defined
occurs. Beauty Brands incurred such an ownership change in 2006 and
2008. Because Beauty Brands’s stock trading has been limited, no
significant losses occurring prior to that date are
available.
At
December 31, 2009 and 2008, deferred tax assets consisted of the
following:

9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES.
In connection with the two most recent
fiscal years or subsequent interim periods, there were no disagreements between
the Company and its independent accountant on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or
procedure.
Item
9A. Controls and Procedures
|
(a)
|
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and
Procedures
|
Our
disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the rules and forms of the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission. Our principal executive and financial officers have
reviewed the effectiveness of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as
defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c))
within the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K and have
concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are not effective due to a
material weakness to ensure that material information relating to the Company is
recorded, processed, summarized, and reported in a timely manner.
Changes
in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There
were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that
could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the last day they were
evaluated by our principal executive and financial officers.
Controls
and Procedures
|
(b)
|
Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting.
|
The
Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting as defined in
Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act and for
assessing the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions or a deterioration in the level of compliance with the policies or
procedures.
Our
management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control
over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal
Control—Integrated Framework. Based on its evaluation, our management concluded
that there is a material weakness in our internal control over financial
reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control
deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a
reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or
interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely
basis.
The
material weakness relates to the lack of segregation of duties in financial
reporting, as our financial reporting and all accounting functions are performed
by an external consultant with no oversight by a professional with accounting
expertise. Our CEO and CFO do not possess accounting expertise. This
weakness is due to the company’s lack of working capital to hire additional
staff. To remedy this material weakness, we intend to engage additional
resources to assist with financial reporting as soon as our finances will
allow.
-13-
The
Company’s management carried out an assessment of the effectiveness of the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. The
Company’s management based its evaluation on criteria set forth in the framework
in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that assessment, management
has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was
not effective as of December 31, 2009.
This
Annual Report on Form 10-K 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 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 on Form 10-K.

(c)
|
Changes
in Internal Controls
|
There
have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting
during the last quarterly period covered by this report that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal
control over financial reporting.

Section
16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section
16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers and
persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our Common Stock
(collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) to report their ownership of and
transactions in our Common Stock to the SEC. Copies of these reports are also
required to be supplied to us. On March 31, 2010, the members of
our principal shareholder, FormCap Advisory, LLC, James Altucher and Dan Kelly,
filed forms 3 and 4 regarding their respective initial appointments as our
Chairman and Director and reflecting the acquisition by FormCap Advisors, LLC of
the majority of our issued and outstanding common stock in November
2008. The failure by Mr,. Altucher and Mr. Kelly to timely file said
forms 3 and 4 was inadvertent. Neither Mr. Altucher nor Mr. Kelly made any
public or private purchases or sales of our common stock or other equities other
than indirectly, through the November 2008 transaction.
Code
of Ethics
We have
not adopted a Code of Ethics given our limited operations. We expect that our
Board of Directors following a merger or other acquisition transaction will
adopt a Code of Ethics.

Change
in Control
By
Exchange Agreement dated on or about November 26, 2008, by and among Deer
Creek Capital, L.P. (“Deer Creek”), RPM Trading, LLC. (“RPM”), Formula
Capital Management, LLC (“Formula Capital”), and FormCap Advisory, LLC
(“FormCap”) , RPM transferred to Deer Creek 1,537,400 shares of the
Company’s common stock, whereupon, Deer Creek immediately transferred a
total of 15,193,000 shares of the company’s common stock to FormCap at the
request of Formula Capital, which request was made in connection with the
redemption by Formula Capital of its investment in Deer
Creek. RPM’s transfer of its shares of the Company’s common
stock was in exchange for the controlling ownership interest held by Deer
Creek in another corporation, Core Technologies (Pennsylvania),
Inc. The result of this exchange was that FormCap became the
Company’s majority shareholder and RPM and Deer Creek divested themselves
of their entire ownership interest in the Company. Dan
Kelly and James Altucher are both managing members of FormCap Advisory,
LLC.
At
various times, and from time to time, the Company has engaged, and will
engage, in discussions with outside parties regarding potential
transactions for the use of the public entity, which may result in the
change of control of the company. The Company intends to continue its
efforts to seek out a suitable transaction in future. However, no formal
agreement has been made with any outside party at the time of the filing
of this report.
