FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This
annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 contains
“forward-looking” statements including statements regarding our expectations of
our future operations. For this purpose, any statements contained in
this Form 10-K that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be
forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, words
such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” or
“continue,” or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial
risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially depending on a
variety of factors, many of which are not within our control. These
factors include, but are not limited to, economic conditions generally and in
the industries in which we may participate, competition within our chosen
industry, including competition from much larger competitors, technological
advances, and the failure by us to successfully develop business
relationships. In light of these risks and uncertainties, you are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to
announce publicly revisions we make to these forward-looking statements to
reflect the effect of events or circumstances that may arise after the date of
this report. All written and oral forward-looking statements made
subsequent to the date of this report and attributable to us or persons acting
on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this
section.
When used
in this annual report, the terms the “Company,” “uKarma,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and
similar terms refer to uKarma Corporation, a Nevada
corporation.

PART
I
ITEM
1. BUSINESS
Overview
We were
incorporated in Nevada on June 26, 2001 under the name “OM Capital Corporation,”
and changed our name to “uKarma Corporation” on April 20, 2004.
We
develop and market proprietary branded personal health and wellness products,
including fitness DVDs and mind, body, and spirit goods and services, for
fitness and health-conscious consumers. Our product lines target the
rapidly growing tens of millions that are seeking to enrich their physical,
spiritual, and mental wellness.
We
launched our initial products, a fitness DVD series called Xflowsion, through an
infomercial and other marketing initiatives. The goal of the infomercial, if it
successfully generates consumer response and sales, is to generate initial
working capital and build a community of loyal customers. From there,
we plan on expanding our product offerings into proprietary branded products
primarily within the fitness/well-being multimedia and nutraceutical
markets. As our brand image builds, we intend to extend our brand
systematically to other complementary consumer products that meet our stringent
product guidelines and are consistent with our message of “total health and
happiness for oneself and others.”
We began
to generate revenue in the second quarter of 2007. Accordingly, we
are no longer a development stage since April 1, 2007.
Recent
Events
On
October 19, 2009, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, GCC Merger Sub
Corporation (“Merger Sub”), entered into a Merger Agreement with Galen Capital
Corporation (“GCC”) dated as of October 15, 2009. This
followed a previously executed Letter of Intent between the Company and GCC
dated June 11, 2009.
Under the
agreement, Merger Sub would merge with GCC such that following the merger
(“Merger” or “Transaction”), GCC would be a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company. As consideration for the transaction, the Company would
issue to GCC security holders that number of shares of common stock on a fully
diluted basis (“Common Shares”) such that following such issuance, GCC security
holders would hold 95% of the outstanding Company Common Shares on a fully
diluted basis. GCC common stock would be exchanged for Company Common
Shares. GCC convertible preferred stock, options, and warrants would
be exchanged for equivalent Company preferred stock, options, and
warrants.
On
December 22, 2009, the Company amended the Merger Agreement with GCC. Pursuant
to the terms of the amended agreement, the closing date was changed to on or
before May 15, 2010. GCC has also agreed to pay Company an amount equal to
$475,000 (“Cash Payment”) and replaced the previous agreement amount of
$275,000. Through the date of this report, $375,000 of the Cash Payment has
already been paid to the Company as a non-refundable deposit along with $23,500
worth of expenses. In addition, GCC must pay the Company a final payment of
$100,000 on or before the latest of March 31, 2010 or the date the Company files
the Form 10-K.
Principal
Products and Services
Fitness
and Relationship-oriented DVDs
We plan
to offer complementary products within our target categories after we have
enough customers (approximately 10,000 customers) to warrant such product
extensions. We expect to develop additional bundles of DVDs within
the fitness and personal development segments. The timing of this will depend on
the timing of our market penetration with Xflowsion and being in a cash position
to re-edit our infomercial and initiate other marketing programs. We
anticipate, however, producing and marketing a series of other DVDs related to
developing and maintaining healthy relationships sometime after we obtain at
least 10,000 customers. As a result of Eric Paskel’s educational and
clinical expertise in this area, including an advanced degree in clinical
psychology and background in family therapy, he is extremely well-suited to
cross-over effectively from his yoga/fitness DVDs to this arena. Each
relationship DVD will likely have a retail price of $19.95, similar to the
individual pricing for our fitness DVDs when not sold as part of a bundle of
products.
Additional
Multimedia Offerings
After we
build a strong customer base and establish Xflowsion, we plan to extend our media
offerings into pod casting, web broadcasting, and TV production. For
TV productions, we will consider developing and producing original content of
shows that are uplifting and inspirational, as well as fitness/workout formats
and reality shows focusing on the behind-the-life of a yogi or guru.
We previously engaged an agent for such a purpose and had interest in producing
a TV show from production companies, along with Eric Paskel appearing on “The
Amazing Race” in September 2009. However, we expect such TV
opportunities to become more viable if and when our Xflowsion brand becomes more
successful and attains a loyal following of consumers.
4
Acquisition/Re-brandings
We will
seek out products and services that are consistent with our vision and business
objectives for possible acquisition and re-branding through
repackaging. This strategy may enable us to get to market more
quickly with several product offerings, particularly complementary accessories
and nutraceuticals. Moreover, we plan to identify and possibly
acquire synergistic companies that have innovative complementary products,
strong management, and solid distribution channels that will forward our
growth.
Distribution
and Sales
Once we
are in a capital position to do so, we plan to continue to edit and test market
our infomercial with the intention of obtaining the right formula to attract
sales and make the economics of airing the infomercial nationally
viable. If successful in doing so, we will build a customer base
through our infomercial and other direct–to-consumer marketing. We
would then expect to increase brand equity and growth through additional
complementary product offerings, such as other DVD products and
nutraceuticals. While infomercials will be the initial focus for our
channel distribution strategy, we expect to sell our products through additional
channels, including retail. We initially offered our Xflowsion DVD
series for sale in May 2007 for $39.95 plus $9.95 shipping and
handling. This pricing was made available to those who had previously
registered on www.xflowsion.com. The pricing for the Xflowsion DVD
series was offered for 3 payments of $19.95, or $59.85, plus $12.95 shipping and
handling when our infomercial ran in May 2007. We began re-airing our
updated and reedited Xflowsion infomercial nationally on June 27,
2008. Infomercials typically go through a period of on-air testing
and other means such as focus groups to obtain feedback that can be used to make
edits designed to elicit the greatest consumer response. We went
through such a process and conducted a focus group during the 3rd quarter
of 2008. We had a very high percentage (approximately 80%) of
participants who were interested in buying our Xflowsion DVD
series. Overall, the focus group feedback revealed a strong interest
in the Xflowsion workout and instructor Eric Paskel and confirmed our potential
for Xflowsion to be a big seller. However due to cash constraints, we
have not edited or aired the infomercial since. Once we are in a
position to do so, we plan to use the feedback we received from the focus group
and on-air infomercial testing to tweak our branding and edit our infomercial so
we can maximize the potential response and sales by consumers.
DVD
Continuity Programs
We plan
to offer to our customers who purchase the initial Xflowsion DVD series (in
response to the infomercial either via the call center or website) the
opportunity to participate in an exclusive continuity program whereby the
customer will receive one new DVD every 1-2 months. We anticipate producing
multiple DVDs for our continuity program every quarter after we obtain
approximately 10,000 customers. Since we shot and edited a total of 7
Xflowsion DVDs already and are selling 4 workout DVDs in our current Xflowsion
DVD series, we currently have 3 Xflowsion DVDs available for our continuity
program.
Web-based
Sales
We
believe that our websites, www.xflowsion.com and www.uKarma.com, will be an
integral component of our direct response television marketing (DRTV)
campaigns. Koeppel Direct estimates that between 15-50% of DRTV
purchases are now occurring on the web due to the high percentage of people who
surf the Internet and watch TV concurrently. Koeppel Direct also
estimates that approximately 50% of U.S. homes now have a high-speed broadband
connection, enabling prospective customers to easily view short clips of the
infomercial or selected video and lead them to a purchase
decision. The website may also serve as a tool to further educate the
consumer about our products and its benefits. Current traffic to
www.xflowsion.com has been generated as a result of receiving press coverage
(www.xflowsion.com/press.html), in response to the airings of our infomercial,
to online marketing we initiated, and from word of mouth. We expect
to drive additional traffic to our websites via the airings of our infomercial,
additional press coverage, and via online marketing including Social Media, SEO
(search engine optimization), banner advertisements, and email
marketing.
Paid
Subscription Services
If we can
reach a critical mass of customers (approximately 50,000 unique individuals)
through our infomercial and begin to drive customers to our website through
other marketing activities, we expect to offer an online subscription service to
paying members. The service may offer customers updated content on
health tips, yoga poses, healthy recipes, bulletins, live chats with
instructors, among others.
Viral/Social
Media Marketing
In order
to expand our database, we expect to use viral marketing (marketing techniques
that use pre-existing social networks to produce increases in brand awareness
through self-replicating viral processes), such as by establishing Facebook,
Twitter, YouTube, and other social media sites for our Xflowsion DVD series and
providing free content and previews of our products. We also expect
to offer daily inspirational messages to our prospective customers via opt-in
email services, which are effective tools from which to then offer products and
services and advertise third-party paid sponsors.
5
Affiliate
Programs
The
uKarma Affiliate Partner Program is intended to allow our partners to earn a
commission by promoting uKarma products and/or brand links (text, images,
banners, products) on our affiliates’ websites. We are expected to
provide affiliates with a range of banners, coupons, and product links for each
product. Using web-based technology, we will be able to track visitors from each
affiliate site. Affiliate sites could include online yoga and fitness
journals (i.e., www.yogajournal.com), as well as sites dedicated to selling
products from infomercials (i.e.,
www.asseenontv.com).
Retail
Sales
Our DRTV
campaign will be designed to be integrated with a retail strategy such that the
infomercial helps drive retail sales and build awareness for our product among
consumers. We expect to take our Xflowsion DVD series to retail
stores after it has gained success in the direct-to-consumer market but prior to
the direct-to-consumer market being saturated.
Market
and Industry Overview
The
healthy lifestyles and personal development industry has grown in the last few
years to become a multi-billion dollar industry representing products in many
different segments. According to LOHAS (Lifestyles of Health and
Sustainability -www.lohas.com/about.htm), the healthy lifestyle sector of the
marketplace includes natural organics, nutritional products, food and beverage,
dietary supplements, and personal care products. LOHAS defines the
personal development segment of the marketplace to include mind, body, and
spirit products such as CDs, books, tapes, seminars, and yoga, fitness, weight
loss, and spiritual products and services.
·

Americans
now spend up to $27 billion annually on yoga products (as reported by
NAMASTA, the North American Studio Alliance, http://www.namasta.com/,
http://www.bikramyoga.com/News/TheColoradoan071005.htm), with the average
yoga consumer spending an estimated $1,500 per year
(http://www.yogajournal.com/views/769.cfm).
|
·
|
Total U.S. sales for
nutraceutical or dietary supplement products alone were estimated to be
$86 billion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutraceutical). The term
“nutraceutical” was coined in 1989 by the Foundation for Innovation in
Medicine and is defined as any ingestible substance that may be considered
a food or part of a food that provides health
benefits.
|
The
instructional fitness DVD industry is highly competitive. According
to Nielsen media research, DVD fitness titles sales rated by Nielsen VideoScan
reported in March 2004 that DVDs represented 51% of the sales for the top 30
fitness titles. Over the past few years, the most popular fitness DVD
titles have related to pilates and yoga. USA Today reported that,
according to Video Store Magazine Market Research, of the top 10 selling DVD
fitness titles of 2003, No. 1 in the top ten is Leslie Sansone: Walk Away the
Pounds: (168,000 Units) followed by #2 The Method Pilates Target Specific:
(150,000 Units); #3 The Method Pilates: (120,000 Units); #4 Pilates Conditioning
for Weight Loss: (117,000 Units); #5 Pilates for Dummies: (168,000 Units); #6
Crunch: Pick Your Spot Pilates: (105,000 Units); #7 Darrin's Dance Grooves:
(91,000 Units); #8 Cheer: (80,000 Units); #9 The Firm: Total Body Super Cardio
Mix: (73,000 Units); and #10 Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss: (72,000
Units). In addition, sales of popular fitness DVDs sold via
infomercial during the past year contained yoga related content such as in P90X
and 10 Minute Trainer.
Competition
We
believe that the “mind, body, and spirit” market is comprised of few large
competitors and also comprised of small, local, and regional
businesses. Some of our competitors have greater financial and
marketing resources and greater brand recognition. Some smaller
competitors may be able to more effectively personalize their relationships with
customers, thereby gaining a competitive advantage. The largest and
most similar competitor within this market is Gaiam, Inc. (NASDAQ:
GAIA). Gaiam is a lifestyle media company that creates media,
information, and products for individuals who seek to live healthier, more
rewarding, and sustainable lifestyles. Other larger competitors who
produce and market fitness related DVD products via infomercials and through
other direct to consumer marketing are Beach Body and Guthy Renker, both of
which are private companies.
There are
numerous small, privately held companies in the lifestyle media space that offer
yoga, spiritual, and personal development DVDs, among others. These
companies include Acorn Media Group (owned by Acacia), Sounds True, Revolution,
and Fitness Organica. These companies offer mind, body, and spirit
products while being committed to being socially and environmentally responsible
as corporate citizens.
6
Our
fitness DVD sales business will face competition from the many companies that
already sell fitness DVDs via infomercials, in chain stores, through smaller
retailers, and on their own Internet sites or shopping websites such as ebay.com
and Yahoo! Shopping. Many of our competitors who produce fitness DVDs
have greater financial and other resources than we do and will be able to
promote their products to a greater extent than we will and perhaps have
celebrity endorsements or participation that will enable them to attract more
buyers. In addition, competing production companies may be able to
obtain more or better DVD content and have better promotional campaigns. Also,
the extent to which consumers choose to exercise in fitness centers or in other
manners without the aid of DVDs may reduce our sales, reduce our gross margins,
increase our operating expenses, and decrease our profit margins.
Although
we operate in a market that already contains many experienced companies with
greater resources, we believe that we may still be able to compete in the
market. We believe that there is room in the marketplace for original
fitness DVDs that offer new information and types of exercise that are
specifically targeted to groups of people or to people with specific
interests. This belief is based on informal research that our
management has done on the types of fitness DVDs available for purchase on the
Internet and in other locations, compared to discussions with approximately 30
people from various backgrounds and of different demographics regarding the
types of fitness DVDs that might appeal to them, along with a focus group
comprised of approximately 60 individuals. We plan to produce and
sell fitness DVDs to those mass market and niche markets.
Raw
Materials and Principal Suppliers
We have
no need for raw materials or suppliers at this time but may need such
relationships if we sell nutraceutical and dietary supplement
products. Our DVDs and CDs that are part of our Xflowsion product
offering are replicated by a DVD/CD replication company, and the guidebooks and
intro letters that are part of our Xflowsion products are printed at a printing
company.
Customers
The
marketing and sales of our Xflowsion DVD product has continued to be in the
test-marketing and word of mouth stage until we are able to get the version of
our infomercial that elicits the greatest response and makes sense to roll out
nationally once our capital position warrants. As such, our customer
base is limited in size. If we are able to establish a more
substantial customer base in the future, we may become dependent on a few major
customers or distributors.
Intellectual
Properties and Licenses
We have
applied and received for copyright protection for our seven Xflowsion DVDs and
other related Xflowsion products such as CDs and guidebooks. We rely
upon a combination of nondisclosure and other contractual arrangements and trade
secret, and copyright and trademark laws to protect our proprietary
rights. We enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees
and limit distribution of proprietary information. However, we cannot
assure you that the steps taken by us in this regard will be adequate to deter
misappropriation of proprietary information or that we will be able to detect
unauthorized use and take appropriate steps to enforce our intellectual property
rights. We are subject to the risk of litigation alleging
infringement of third-party intellectual property rights. Any such
claims could require us to spend significant sums in litigation, pay damages,
develop non-infringing intellectual property, or acquire licenses to the
intellectual property that is the subject of the asserted
infringement.
We have
filed for patent protection for our proprietary yoga mat product
concept. We do not, however, expect a patent to be issued, and, as a
result, we do not plan to produce and market such a
product.
We have
filed and received a trademarks for “Xflowision” and “uKarma.” In
addition, we have filed for Slogan Mark protection for “The most fun you’ll ever
have working out”, “The most fun I’ve ever had working out”, “Mind Blowing
fitness for every body”, “Mind Blowing workouts for every body”, “Triple
Training”, “Look Great Outside, Feel Great Inside”, and “Ultimate Cross Training
for mind body and spirit”. We have also filed trademarks for our DVD
titles including “Calm Down Dog,” “The Lean,” “Amazing Abs,” “Body Blast,” and
“Kick Butt Yoga.” We also filed for trademarks for “Dreams Realized”,
“DreamsRealized.com”, and “The Karma Diet.” The following trademarks
have been registered: uKarma, Xflowsion, Body Blast, Calm Down Dog, and The Most
Fun You’ll Ever Have Working Out. The following trademarks have been
published: All U Need, Amazing Abs, Dreams Realized, Look Great Outside Feel
Great Inside, The Karma Diet, Triple Training, and The Most Fun I’ll Ever Have
Working out. The others are currently pending. Our
inability or failure to establish rights to these terms or protect our rights
may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and
financial condition. We also own the copyright in the websites
www.ukarma.com and www.xflowsion.com.
Governmental
Approval and Regulation
Laws and
regulations directly applicable to Internet communications, commerce, and
advertising are becoming more prevalent. Because we intend to sell
our DVDs through the Internet as one of its methods of distribution, we will be
subject to rules and regulations around the world that affect the business of
the Internet. If and when we sell nutraceutical products, such
products are subject to a variety of FTC and FDA regulations which we would be
subject to as related to ingredients and advertising claims.
7
Research
and Development
Over the
past two fiscal years, we have conducted formal and informal research related to
the marketing of our Xflowsion products. Included in that research
was a focus group that we conducted during the 3rd quarter
of 2008. We recruited 4 test groups comprised of approximately 12-15
people per group who watched our infomercial for our Xflowsion DVD products and
provided their feedback via a questionnaire and group discussion. We
also conducted more informal research on our product and marketing messaging in
our infomercial via listening to recorded customer calls at our telemarketing
company and via customer service emails sent via xflowsion.com.
Employees
We
currently have 1 employee, who is a full-time employee.
ITEM
2. PROPERTIES
Our
principal executive offices were located at 499 North Canon Drive, Suite 308,
Beverly Hills, California 90210. Subsequent to the lease expiration
date on April 15, 2009, we physically moved from our office but maintain an
identity plan that includes phone answering and mail service at this location on
a quarterly basis for approximately $450 per quarter. As such, our
mailing address has not changed. We plan to continue the identity
plan until we are able to afford office space. In the meantime, our
CEO works from his home.
ITEM
3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On June
17, 2009, Jeffrey Fischer (the “Landlord”) filed a compliant against uKarma
Corporation and Bill Glaser, our Chief Executive Officer, in the Los Angeles
Superior Court in Los Angeles, California. The Landlord claimed that we owe back
rent on the lease of our yoga and fitness studio in Sherman Oaks, California and
sought to recover $222,859.97 and evict us from the subject property. We denied
liability and contend that the Landlord never reimbursed us for a tenant
improvement allowance of $165,000 pursuant to the lease along with other
breaches by the Landlord. The judge in the cased denied a writ of attachment
motion that was submitted by the Landlord. A settlement could not be
reached between the parties, and as such the Company vacated the property on
September 30, 2009. On December 2, 2009, the Landlord filed a
First Amended complaint naming the Company, Mr. Glaser, and Fred Tannous, a
director of the Company, and a number of unrelated parties and added additional
causes of actions and damages totaling $1,066,660.00. The Company
filed a demurer that was heard and sustained by the court on March 2,
2010. As a result of the judge’s ruling, there is currently no
pending complaint on file against the Company, Mr. Glaser, and Mr.
Tannous. The judge did provide the Landlord with the right to amend
the complaint within 45 days from March 2, 2010. If and when he does
so, we plan to defend such claims that we believe are false and frivolous along
with initiating legal action against the Landlord for full recovery of all
tenant improvements it incurred to date along with other damages.
Other
than the proceeding discussed above, we know of no material, existing or pending
legal proceeding against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material
proceeding or pending litigation, and there are no proceedings in which any of
our directors, officers, or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial holder
of more than 5% of our voting securities, or any associate of such persons, is
an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the Company.

Stock and Restricted Stock Plan (the “Plan”) to provide the issuance of
non-qualified and/or incentive stock options to employees, officers, directors,
and consultants and other service providers. Generally, all options
granted expire ten years from the date of grant. All options have an
exercise price equal to or higher than the fair market value of our stock on the
date the options were granted. It is our policy to issue new shares
for stock option exercised and restricted stock, rather than issued treasury
shares. Options generally vest over ten years. There are
7,500,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan, and the
Plan is effective through December 31, 2015.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The
following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial
condition of uKarma Corporation for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2009
and 2008 should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the
notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this
report. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon
current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans,
objectives, expectations, and intentions. Actual results and the
timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those
set forth under the Forward-Looking Information and Business sections in this
report. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,”
“project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,”
“will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking
statements.
Overview
We are an
early stage company that develops and markets proprietary branded personal
health and wellness products, including yoga and fitness DVDs, printed materials
and CDs, nutraceuticals, and other products targeting the mass market and MBS
(Mind/Body/Spirit) consumers. We generated no revenues since inception through
the first quarter of 2007. We began to generate revenue in the second quarter of
2007. Accordingly, we are no longer a development stage since April
1, 2007.
We
incurred net losses of approximately $122,488 in 2005, $1,397,922 in 2006,
$1,849,636 in 2007, 2,677,092 in 2008 and $1,743,449 in 2009. As of December 31,
2009, we had an accumulated deficit of $7,832,650. As a company in
the early stage of development, our limited history of operations makes
prediction of future operating results difficult. We believe that
period-to-period comparisons of our operating results should not be relied on as
predictive of our future results.
In May
2007, we began to market and sell our initial Xflowsion yoga/fitness DVD
products. We
believe that our success depends upon our ability to successfully produce,
market, and distribute such products along with having the necessary capital to
operate and grow our business. After test-marketing the initial version of our
infomercial, we recognized the need to shoot additional footage and to reedit it
before airing it again. Due to capital constraints, we had to wait until
our registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and
Exchange Commission in order to raise capital. Our registration statement
was declared effective on August 9, 2007, and we focused the remainder of 2007
raising capital and preparing to update our infomercial and implement our
marketing strategy in 2008.
We began
airing the reedited version of our Xflowsion infomercial nationally on June 27,
2008. Infomercials typically go through a period of on-air testing
and other means such as focus groups to obtain feedback that can be used to make
edits designed to elicit the greatest consumer response. We went
through such a process and conducted a focus group during the 3rd quarter
of 2008. We had a very high percentage (approximately 80%) of
participants who were interested in buying our Xflowsion DVD
series. Overall, the focus group feedback revealed a strong interest
in the Xflowsion workout and instructor Eric Paskel and confirmed our potential
for Xflowsion to be a big seller. We also previously received strong
media coverage regarding our Xflowsion brand. Xflowsion has been
profiled in People Magazine, People.com, Fitness Magazine, TMZ, The National
Enquirer, and many other publications. We have been encouraged by the response
to our Xflowsion DVD series in the media and with consumers and via our past
marketing efforts, and, when in a better capital position, we plan to
reinstitute our marketing initiatives. It has also been indicated to
us by executives of our competitors and other industry contacts that most
successful fitness DVD infomercials take many incarnations before they become
successful.
During
2008, we entered into a lease to develop and operate a yoga and fitness studio
in Sherman Oaks, CA that we expected to be open in late 2008 or early
2009. Due to a number of construction delays that we believe were in
large part caused by the breaches and interference of the landlord, and after
spending approximately $500,000 in tenant improvements, we were unable to open
and operate that component of our business. During that time period,
the U.S. and global economic recession and related turmoil and volatility in the
equity markets along with our financial results made if very difficult to raise
additional capital. As such, our marketing efforts for our Xflowsion
DVD series and, in particular, the editing and re-airing of our infomercial has
been delayed until such time that we are sufficiently
capitalized. The ongoing economic uncertainty in general and current
economic condition of the Company may continue to impact our ability to raise
capital and successfully market and sell our Xflowsion products along with
creating and marketing other products. This could negatively impact
our future operating performance and cash flow.
10
The
personality of our Xflowsion DVD series, Eric Paskel, appeared on the CBS
reality show, The Amazing Race, which started airing in September
2009. Prior to the airing of the first episode of that season, we
engaged an online marketing firm to market our Xflowsion DVD series on a CPA
(Cost per Acquisition) basis. We also explored and planned many other
marketing initiatives in order to leverage the large audience that was going to
be exposed to Eric Paskel. While it was possible that Mr. Paskel
could have been eliminated on the first show, the audience of millions was a big
opportunity to leverage into potential Xflowsion DVD
sales. Unfortunately, Mr. Paskel was eliminated at the beginning of
the first episode and, as such, our marketing initiatives relating to that
exposure were put on hold, which affected our sales.
Further
to the Letter of Intent (LOI) to that we entered into with Galen Capital
Corporation (“Galen”), we and our wholly owned subsidiary GCC Merger Corporation
(“Merger Sub”) subsequently executed a merger agreement with Galen. Under the
agreement, Merger Sub would merge with Galen such that following the merger
(“Merger” or “Transaction”), and Galen would be a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company. As consideration for the transaction, the Company will issue
to the holders of Galen securities equaling that number of shares of common
stock on a fully diluted basis (“Common Shares”) such that following such
issuance, Merger Sub security holders would hold 95% of the outstanding Company
Common Shares on a fully diluted basis. Galen common stock would be
exchanged for Company Common Shares. Galen convertible preferred
stock, options, and warrants would be exchanged for equivalent Company preferred
stock, options, and warrants.
In
addition, we entered into an amendment to the merger agreement in which Galen
has agreed to pay the Company an amount equal to $475,000 (“Cash Payment”). As
of the date of this report, $375,000 of the Cash Payment has already been paid
to the Company as a non-refundable deposit along with $23,500 worth of
expenses.
Our
obligations to close the Transaction will be subject to certain conditions of
the other party that must be satisfied or waived, including, among other things,
Galen shall pay the remaining portion of the Cash Payment and Galen shareholders
shall vote to approve the merger transaction. Galen’s obligations to
close the Transaction will be subject to certain conditions of the other party
that must be satisfied or waived, including, among other things, Galen shall
have certain persons appointed as Company officers and directors. The
Agreement may be terminated by any party if the Closing does not occur by May
15, 2010 provided such terminating party is not in breach of this
Agreement. The Company has been informed by Galen’s management that
the timing to close the Transaction is based on when their audit will be
completed, which they expect to be completed in order to close by May 15,
2010.
Concurrent
with the merger of Galen, our operating business will be spun-off into a new
entity that will be held by our then-current shareholders on a pro-rata basis.
As such, we believe that this transaction is beneficial for our shareholders as
we will be able to receive capital without selling shares and without taking on
debt. Our then-current shareholders are also expected to own the same pro-rata
ownership in the spun-off operating business while also retaining some ownership
of the Company.
Along
with converting his loans to the Company and $144, 231 of deferred compensation
into common stock, our CEO, Bill Glaser, continues to have his salary deferred
until the Company can better afford to pay it.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us 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 the financial statements as well as the reported net sales and expenses
during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our
estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical
experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about
the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions.
The
following accounting policies, which are also described in Note 2 to our
financial statements, are critical to aid the reader in fully understanding and
evaluating this discussion and analysis:
Use of estimates: The
preparation of the accompanying financial statements in conformity with U.S.
GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that directly
affect the results of reported assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses.
Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Revenue recognition:
The Company generally recognizes product revenue when persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and
collectability is probable. In instances where the final acceptance of the
product is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred until all acceptance
criteria have been met. Customers’ prepayments are deferred until products are
shipped and accepted by the customers. No provisions were established for
estimated product returns and allowances based on the Company’s historical
experience.
11
Cash Equivalents: For
purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.
Concentration of
Cash: The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high quality
financial institutions. At times, cash balances may be in excess of the FDIC’s
insurance limits. Management considers the risk to be minimal.
Inventories:
Inventories consist of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or
market, using the first-in, first-out method.
Property and
Equipment: Property and equipment are valued at cost. Maintenance and
repair costs are charged to expenses as incurred. Depreciation is computed on
the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets,
generally 5 to 7 years.
Patents: The Company
capitalizes patent costs as incurred, excluding costs associated with Company
personnel, relating to patenting its technology. The majority of capitalized
costs represent legal fees related to a patent application. As of the balance
sheet date, the Company determines that a patent application is not likely to be
awarded or elects to discontinue payment of required maintenance fees for a
particular patent, the Company, at that time, records as expense the capitalized
amount of such patent application or patent.
Fair value of financial
instruments: All financial instruments are carried at amounts that
approximate estimated fair value.
Income Taxes: Income
tax expense is based on pretax financial accounting income. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary
differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported
amounts.
Advertising Costs:
All costs associated with advertising and promoting the Company’s products and
services are expensed as incurred.
Net Loss per Share:
Basic net loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net
loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common
stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share does not
differ from basic net loss per share since potential shares of common stock are
anti-dilutive for all periods presented. Potential shares consist of
restricted common stock, stock warrants, and stock options.
Stock Based
Compensation: Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted
the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R),
“Shares-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R), using the modified-prospective-transition
method. Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized in
2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior
to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006 based of the grant date fair value
calculated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and (b)
compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to December
31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS 123(R). The Company accounts for stock issued to
non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R and the EITF
Issue No. 00-18, “Accounting
For Equity Instruments That Are Issued To Other Than Employees for Acquiring, Or
In Conjunction With Selling, Goods Or Services.” SFAS No. 123R states
that equity instruments that are issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or
services should be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or
the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably
measurable. Under the guidance in Issue 00-18, the measurement date occurs as of
the earlier of (a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached or (b)
absent a performance commitment, the date at which the performance necessary to
earn the equity instruments is complete (that is, the vesting
date).
New Accounting
Pronouncements:
In April
2009, the FASB issued three Staff Positions (FSPs): (i) FSP FAS 157-4,
“Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or
Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not
Orderly”, (ii) FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value
of Financial Statements,” and (iii) FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition
and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments.” The pronouncements
intended to provide additional application guidance and enhance disclosures
regarding fair value measurements and impairments of securities, but they will
not be applicable to the current operations of the Company. Therefore a
description and the impact on the Company’s operations and financial position
for each of the pronouncements above have not been disclosed.
In June
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statements No.
162”. The statement establishes the Accounting Standards Codification TM
(Codification) as the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the
FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Under the Codification, all of
its content will carry the same level of authority. This statement is effective
for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after
September 15, 2009. The adoption of this statement did not have a material
impact on the Company’s financial position or results of
operations.
12
In June
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No.167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation
No. 46(R).” The statement changes the approach to determining
the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (VIE) and requires
companies to more frequently assess whether they must consolidate VIEs. This new
standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009.
The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts, if any, on its
financial statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of
Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” The statement
improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the
information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a
transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing
involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. This new standard is
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company is
currently assessing the potential impacts, if any, on its financial
statements.
In May
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events.” The statement 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. This new standard is effective for fiscal years or
interim periods after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this statement did not have
a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of
operations.

Net Sales.
Net sales were
$20,528 in 2009, a decrease of approximately 76.2% from $86,339 in
2008. We attribute the decrease to not airing our infomercial and
less publicity coverage.
Cost of
Sales.
Cost of sales was $1,226 in 2009, a decrease of approximately 69.7% from $4,048
in 2008. The decrease is attributable to lower sales as we were
unable to take advantage of volume discounts that are associated with our larger
sales.
Gross
Profit.
Gross profit was $19,302 in 2009, a decrease of approximately 76.5% from $82,291
in 2008. The decrease is attributable to lower sales and a lower
selling price of our DVDs.
Operating
Expenses. Operating expenses in 2009 were $1,738,427, a
decrease of approximately 36.6% from $2,741,825 in 2008. The decrease
was due to lower production expenses along with other reduced expenses and fewer
stock for services expenses.
Operating
Loss. Operating loss was $1,719,125 in 2009, a decrease of
approximately 35.3% from an operating loss of $2,658,784 in 2008. The
decrease in operating loss is attributable to lower operating costs due to not
producing and airing our infomercial and other reduced
expenditures.
Net
Loss. Net loss was $1,743,449 in 2009, a decrease of
approximately 34.9% from a net loss of $2,676,342 in 2008. The
decrease in net loss is mainly attributable to lower operating costs due to not
producing and airing our infomercial and other reduced
expenditures.
13
Liquidity
Cash
Flows
Net cash
used in operating activities was $165,511 in 2009 while net cash flow used in
operating activities was $1,335,715 in 2008. The increase in net cash
flow from operating activities was due primarily to a lack of infomercial
productions costs and less stock for services issued.
Net cash
used in investing activities was $150,540 in 2009 while net cash flow used in
investing activities was $383,563 in 2008. The decrease in net cash
flow from investing activities was due to less capital raised.
Net cash
provided by financing activities was $314,355 in 2009 while net cash flow
provided by financing activities was $1,237,495 in 2008. The
decrease in net cash flow from financing activities was due to less capital
raised.
Material
Impact of Known Events on Liquidity
Our
obligation to perform tenant improvements of our yoga and fitness studio and
then begin operations is a cause of a decrease in our liquidity. We
estimate that the completed construction costs for our studio will be
approximately $500,000 and then require approximately $55,000 per month to
operate once we open for business. Due to our current liquidity, we
must raise additional capital in order to meet the aforementioned
obligations.
Capital
Resources
As
of December 31,
2009, we had working capital of $(273,648). To satisfy current
working capital needs, our CEO, Bill Glaser, loaned funds to the Company along
with raising capital via the sale of common stock as well as receiving capital
from its planned merger with Galen Capital. Until we raise sufficient
capital via the sale of our common stock, there is no guarantee that we will be
able to meet current working capital needs if we do not receive additional
infusions of cash via loans, stock sales, revenues, or other
sources. We have fully incurred the production cost of our Xflowsion
DVD series and last version of our infomercial, and plan to make financial
investments in marketing of our Xflowsion DVD series for the next six
months. We expect to incur substantial losses over the next two
years.
We
estimate that our expenses over the next 12 months beginning on January 1, 2010
will be approximately $860,000 as follows:

As of
December 31, 2009, we had cash equivalents of $85. We believe that we
need approximately an additional $860,000 to meet our capital requirements over
the next 12 months. Our intention is to obtain this money through
debt and/or equity financings.
We plan
to engage outside contractors and consultants who are willing to be paid in
stock rather than cash or a combination of stock and cash. Expenses
incurred that cannot be paid in stock, such as auditors' fees, will be paid in
cash. There are no assurances that we will be able to meet our
capital requirements or that our capital requirements will not
increase. If we are unable to raise necessary capital to meet our
capital requirements, we may not be able to successfully market and sell our
Xflowsion DVDs and other products.
Our
independent certified public accountants have stated in their report dated April
9, 2010 included herein that we have incurred operating losses from our
inception and that we are dependent upon our ability to meet our future
financing requirements and the success of future operations. These
factors raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going
concern.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We have
not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to
guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not
entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and
classified as stockholders’ equity or that are not reflected in our financial
statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent
interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as
credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not
have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing,
liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or
research and development services with us.

To the
Board of Directors and
Stockholders
of uKarma Corporation
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheets of uKarma Corporation as of December 31,
2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations, changes in
stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of uKarma Corporation as of December
31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its 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 the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3, the Company’s ability
to continue in the normal course of business is dependent upon the success of
future operations. The Company has recurring losses, substantial working capital
deficiency, stockholders’ deficit and negative cash flows from operations. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in
Note 3. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE
1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS
uKarma
Corporation (“the Company”) was incorporated under the name of OM Capital
Corporation in the State of Nevada on June 26, 2001. On April 30,
2004, the Company changed its name to uKarma Corporation. In 2006,
the Company relocated its headquarter to the State of California and became a
California foreign corporation.
The
Company develops and markets proprietary branded personal health and wellness
products, including fitness DVDs, nutraceuticals, and mind, body, and spirit
goods and services, for fitness and health-conscious consumers. The
Company’s product lines target the rapidly growing tens of millions that are
seeking to enrich their physical, spiritual, and mental wellness.
Through
infomercials and other marketing initiatives, the Company launched its initial
products. The goal of the infomercials is to generate initial working
capital, and build a community of loyal customers. From there, the
Company will expand its product offerings into proprietary branded products
primarily within the fitness and wellbeing multimedia and nutraceutical
markets. As the brand image builds, the Company intends to extend its
brand systematically to other complementary consumer products that meet its
stringent product guidelines and are consistent with its message of “total
health and happiness for oneself and others.”
NOTE
2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(GAAP).
Use of estimates: The
preparation of the accompanying financial statements in conformity with U.S.
GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that directly
affect the results of reported assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses.
Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Revenue recognition:
The Company generally recognizes product revenue when persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and
collectability is probable. In instances where the final acceptance of the
product is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred until all acceptance
criteria have been met. Customers’ prepayments are deferred until products are
shipped and accepted by the customers. No provisions were established for
estimated product returns and allowances based on the Company’s historical
experience.
Cash Equivalents: For
purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.
Concentration of
Cash: The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high quality
financial institutions. At times, cash balances may be in excess of the FDIC’s
insurance limits. Management considers the risk to be minimal.
Inventories:
Inventories consist of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or
market, using the first-in, first-out method.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Property and
Equipment: Property and equipment are valued at cost. Maintenance and
repair costs are charged to expenses as incurred. Depreciation is computed on
the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets,
generally 5 to 7 years. Depreciation expense for the year then ended December
31, 2009 and 2008 was $5,053 and $2,760, respectively.
Patents: The Company
capitalizes patent costs as incurred, excluding costs associated with Company
personnel, relating to patenting its technology. The majority of capitalized
costs represent legal fees related to a patent application. As of the balance
sheet date, the Company determines that a patent application is not likely to be
awarded or elects to discontinue payment of required maintenance fees for a
particular patent, the Company, at that time, records as expense the capitalized
amount of such patent application or patent.
Fair value of financial
instruments: All financial instruments are carried at amounts that
approximate estimated fair value.
Income Taxes: Income
tax expense is based on pretax financial accounting income. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary
differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported
amounts.
Advertising Costs:
All costs associated with advertising and promoting the Company’s products and
services are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the year then ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $15,987 and $319,761, respectively.
Net Loss Per Share:
Basic net loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net
loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common
stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share does not
differ from basic net loss per share since potential shares of common stock are
anti-dilutive for all periods presented. Potential shares consist of
restricted common stock, stock warrants, and stock options.
Stock Based
Compensation: Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted
the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R),
“Shares-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R), using the modified-prospective-transition
method. Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized in
2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior
to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006 based of the grant date fair value
calculated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and (b)
compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to December
31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS 123(R). As a result of adopting SFAS 123(R) on
January 1, 2006, the Company reorganized pre-tax compensation expense related to
stock options of $195,352 and $232,115 for year then ended December 31, 2009 and
2008, respectively.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The
Company accounts for stock issued to non-employees in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS No. 123R and the EITF Issue No. 00-18, “Accounting For Equity Instruments
That Are Issued To Other Than Employees for Acquiring, Or In Conjunction With
Selling, Goods Or Services.” SFAS No. 123R states that equity instruments
that are issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services should be
measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of
the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Under the
guidance in Issue 00-18, the measurement date occurs as of the earlier of (a)
the date at which a performance commitment is reached or (b) absent a
performance commitment, the date at which the performance necessary to earn the
equity instruments is complete (that is, the vesting date).
New Accounting
Pronouncements: In April 2009, the FASB issued three Staff Positions
(FSPs): (i) FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of
Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying
Transactions That Are Not Orderly”, (ii) FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Statements,” and (iii) FSP FAS 115-2
and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary
Impairments.” The pronouncements intended to provide additional application
guidance and enhance disclosures regarding fair value measurements and
impairments of securities, but they will not be applicable to the current
operations of the Company. Therefore a description and the impact on the
Company’s operations and financial position for each of the pronouncements above
have not been disclosed.
In June
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification TM and the Hierarchy of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statements No.
162”. The statement establishes the Accounting Standards Codification TM
(Codification) as the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the
FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Under the Codification, all of
its content will carry the same level of authority. This statement is effective
for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after
September 15, 2009. The adoption of this statement did not have a material
impact on the Company’s financial position or results of
operations.
In June
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No.167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation
No. 46(R).” The statement changes the approach to determining
the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (VIE) and requires
companies to more frequently assess whether they must consolidate VIEs. This new
standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009.
The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts, if any, on its
financial statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of
Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140.” The statement
improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the
information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a
transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing
involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. This new standard is
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company is
currently assessing the potential impacts, if any, on its financial
statements.
In May
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events.” The statement 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. This new standard is effective for fiscal years or
interim periods after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this statement did not have
a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of
operations.

NOTE
3 – GOING CONCERN
The
Company's financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis,
which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities
and commitments in the normal course of business. In the near term,
the Company expects operating costs to continue to exceed funds generated from
operations. As a result, the Company expects to continue to incur
operating losses, and the operations in the near future are expected to continue
to use working capital.
Management
of the Company is actively increasing marketing efforts to increase revenues.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on its
ability to meet its financing arrangement and the success of its future
operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going
concern.

utilized, the carryforwards will begin to expire through 2028 for federal tax
purposes and through 2020 for state tax purposes. The Company’s ability to
utilize its federal net operating loss carryforwards is uncertain and thus a
valuation reserve has been provided against the Company’s net deferred tax

policy of the Company to issue new shares for stock option exercised and
restricted stock, rather than issued treasury shares. Options
generally vest over ten years. The Plan reserves 7,500,000 shares of

17 – LEGAL DISPUTE
On June
17, 2009, Jeffrey Fischer (the “Landlord”) filed a compliant against uKarma
Corporation and Bill Glaser, our Chief Executive Officer, in the Los Angeles
Superior Court in Los Angeles, California. The Landlord claimed that we owe back
rent on the lease of our yoga and fitness studio in Sherman Oaks, California and
sought to recover $222,859.97 and evict us from the subject property. We denied
liability and contend that the Landlord never reimbursed us for a tenant
improvement allowance of $165,000 pursuant to the lease along with other
breaches by the Landlord. The judge in the cased denied a writ of attachment
motion that was submitted by the Landlord. A settlement could not be
reached between the parties, and as such the Company vacated the property on
September 30, 2009. On December 2, 2009, the Landlord filed a First
Amended complaint naming the Company, Mr. Glaser, and Fred Tannous, a director
of the Company, and a number of unrelated parties and adding additional causes
of actions and damages totaling $1,066,660.00. The Company filed a demurer
that was heard and sustained by the court on March 2, 2010. As a result of
the judge’s ruling, there is currently no pending complaint on file against the
Company, Mr. Glaser and Mr. Tannous. The judge did provide the Landlord
with the right to amend the complaint within 45 days from March 2, 2010.
If and when he does so, we plan to defend such claims that we believe are false
and frivolous along with initiating legal action against the Landlord for full
recovery of all tenant improvements it incurred to date along with other
damages.

ITEM
9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
Regulations
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”),
require public companies to maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” which
are defined to mean a company’s controls and other procedures that are designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files
or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and
reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and
forms. Our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial
Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this
report. Based on those evaluations, as of December 31, 2009, our CEO
and CFO believes that:
(i)
|
our
disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Exchange
Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time
periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and
CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure; and
|
(ii)
|
our
disclosure controls and procedures are
effective.

Internal
Control over Financial Reporting
(a) Management’s
annual report on internal control over financial reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial
reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated
under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of,
the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer and
effected by the Company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel,
to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and
procedures that:
·
|
Pertain
to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and
fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
Company;
|
·
|
Provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and
directors of the Company; and
|
·
|
Provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that
could have a material effect on the financial
statements.
|
Because
of its inherent limitations, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even
those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance
with respect to financial statement preparation and
presentation. 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.
Our
management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2009. In making this assessment,
management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated
Framework.
Based on
our assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2009, our
internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those
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 registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the
SEC that permit the Company to provide only the management’s report in this
annual report.

(b)
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in
connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) or
Rule15d-15(d) promulgated under the Exchange Act that occurred during our
fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

We made

Employment
Agreements
On
January 1, 2006, we entered into a five-year employment agreement with our Chief
Executive Officer, Bill Glaser. This employment agreement provides
him with a salary of $180,000 per year. The salary increases to
$250,000, $360,000 and $500,000 per year if we either (i) raise $1.0 million,
$2.5 million or $5 million in debt or equity financing in the aggregate,
respectively, or (ii) recognize $1.0 million, $2.5 million or $5 million in
cumulative gross revenues (i.e., the sum of all revenues recognized since
commencement of operations), respectively. During 2007, pursuant to
the milestones met, Mr. Glaser’s salary was increased to $250,000 per
year. He is also eligible for a performance bonus in an amount
equal to 5% of “Adjusted EBITDA” for each fiscal year. “Adjusted
EBITDA” is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, but
adjusted to account for non-cash expenses and calculated from financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. He also received options to purchase 5,000,000 shares of
our common stock at $0.20 per share. These options are exercisable at the rate
of 500,000 on July 1, 2006, 1,000,000 on January 1, 2007, and 500,000 every six
months thereafter. These options were granted to Mr. Glaser based on the Board’s
view that they provided an appropriate incentive and compensation. He
is entitled to participate in all medical, pension, dental, and life insurance
benefits that are in effect from time to time. He also receives a car
allowance of $750 per month.
18
We are
required to pay Mr. Glaser the greater of the remainder of his salary or
$250,000 if we enter into a change of control transaction within a month after
his termination. All of his options will accelerate their vesting
upon such an event.
Upon
termination without cause, we are required to pay Mr. Glaser the lesser of his
salary for the remainder of the term of the agreement and one-year’s
salary. In addition, all five million options would automatically
vest. Mr. Glaser has agreed not to solicit any employee to terminate his
employment relationship with us during the term of Mr. Glaser’s employment
agreement or a 12-month period thereafter. Pursuant to the terms of
his employment agreement, all proprietary information will be kept confidential
by Mr. Glaser, and inventions developed during the course of his employment will
belong to the Company.

Under
Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who,
directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding,
relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes
the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment
power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of
shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned
by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote
or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are
deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to
acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60
days of the date as of which the information is provided. In
computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares
outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned
by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition
rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of
any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the
person's actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of
shares of common stock actually
outstanding.

|
The
percentage of class beneficially owned is based on 52,794,482 shares of
common stock outstanding on April 14,
2010.

4,000,000
of these shares represent the number of shares of common stock that Mr.
Glaser has the right to purchase upon exercise of options, and 575,000 of
these shares represent the number of shares of common stock issuable upon
exercise of warrants held by Mr.
Glaser.

diluted basis. GCC common stock would be exchanged for Company Common
Shares. GCC convertible preferred stock, options, and warrants would
