Item 3. Prospectus Summary.

This summary highlights certain information contained elsewhere in this prospectus.  You should read the following summary together with the more detailed information regarding Swingplane Ventures, Inc. (“Us,” “We,” “Our,” “Swingplane,” “Swingplane Ventures,” the “Company,” or “the Corporation”) and our financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

The Company

Our Business

Swingplane Ventures, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 24th, 2010.  Swingplane Ventures, Inc. is a development stage company with a principal business objective of selling men's and women's golf apparel.  The Company plans to have its initial clothing line consist of shirts, pants, and skirts designed specifically for younger golfers.  We plan to stay on the cutting edge of the constantly changing golf apparel market and our goal is to create a quality reputation within the youthful golfing community and golf garment marketplace.  Swingplane Ventures conducted research on various marketing venues and plans to sell our initial line of clothing through our own online retail website.

Swingplane Ventures, Inc. is a development stage company that has not commenced its planned principal operations. Swingplane Ventures, Inc. operations to date have been devoted primarily to start-up and development activities.  Our President, Matt Diehl, has performed all of the development activities to date, which include the following:


1. Formation of the Company;

2. Development of the Swingplane Ventures, Inc. business plan;

3. Initiated various garment designs and reviewed the use of different material for construction of our proposed product lines;

4. Conducted research on three major marketing channels/strategies including smaller retail golf shops, major retail outlets, and online sales;

5. Formulated product development and marketing strategies for product lines to include:

     - Tailored style golf shirts for younger men and women

     - Tailored style golf pants for younger men and women

6. Secured web site domain www.swingplaneventures.com;

7. Conducted research on men and women golfer demographics.


Swingplane Ventures, Inc. is attempting to become operational and anticipates sales to begin during the third quarter of operations following the completion of our offering.  In order to generate revenues, Swingplane Ventures, Inc. must address the following areas:


1. Finalize and implement our marketing plan:  In order to effectively penetrate our targeted market, Swingplane Ventures will use a marketing plan that includes a high-end website  Our long term marketing goal is to also approach targeted golf pro shops and retail outlets, and target specific distribution channels using independent representatives.  Long term, independent commissioned sales representatives will work as middlemen between Swingplane Ventures and the retailers.  Their responsibilities would include approaching any/all appropriate retailers, work trade shows and employ creative marketing techniques to attract golf and/or sports-oriented retailers and shops.  This long term marketing plan is entirely dependent on future financing  and thus may not occur.  The Company currently does not have any engagements, agreements, or contracts with independent commissioned sales representatives.

2. Tailor our website: Swingplane Ventures has secured the web domain located at www.swingplaneventures.com. The site is currently under construction and we plan to incorporate this site with strategic vertical market ecommerce retailers.  We have budgeted the necessary funding to develop a quality site.

3. Constantly monitor our market: We plan to constantly monitor our target market and adapt to consumers needs, wants and desires.  To be successful we plan to evolve and diversify our product lines to satisfy the consumer.

4. Run our Company ethically and responsibly. Conduct our business and ourselves ethically and responsibly.

 

Our Statement of Organization:

We were incorporated in Nevada on June 24, 2010, as Swingplane Ventures, Inc.  Our principal executive offices are located at 220 Summit Blvd. #402, Broomfield, CO 80021.  Our phone number is (303) 803-0063.

RISK FACTORS

Before you invest in our common stock, you should be aware that there are risks, as described below.  You should carefully consider these risk factors together with all of the other information included in this prospectus before you decide to purchase shares of our common stock.  Any of the following risks could adversely affect our business, financial conditions and results of operations.

Risks Related To the Company

(1)Our Auditor Has Expressed Substantial Doubt About Our Ability To Continue As A Going Concern.

These financial statements included with this registration statement have been prepared on a going concern basis.    We may not be able to generate profitable operations in the future and/or obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.  The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time. These factors raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.  Management plans to continue to provide for its capital needs through related party advances.  Our financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

(2) The  Company’s Needs Could Exceed The Amount Of Time Or Level Of Experience That Our Sole Officer And Director May Have.  


Our business plan does not provide for the hiring of any additional employees until sales will support the expense, which is estimated to be the third quarter of operations. Until that time, the responsibility of developing the company's business, the offering and selling of the shares through this prospectus and fulfilling the reporting requirements of a public company all fall upon Matt Diehl. While Mr. Diehl has business experience including management and accounting, he does not have extensive experience in a public company setting, including serving as a principal accounting officer or principal financial officer. Nor does Mr. Diehl have any experience running an apparel company.  Mr. Diehl has retail and sales experience in apparel prior to five years ago and is an avid fashion enthusiast, but he has never been an officer or director of an apparel company.  


Mr. Diehl spends at least ten (10) hours per week on the Company’s needs, or about twenty-five (25) percent of his time.  Mr. Diehl also sits on the board of one public company, TapSlide, Inc. (“TapSlide”), and has his own private consulting business as well (AppVineyard, LLC) that compete for his time.  We have not formulated a plan to resolve any possible conflict of interest with his other business activities. In the event he is unable to fulfill any aspect of his duties to the Company we may experience a shortfall or complete lack of sales resulting in little or no profits and eventual closure of the business. On August 3, 2010, Mr. Diehl agreed to become President, Officer, and Director for PaperFree Medical Solutions, Inc. (“PaperFree”) in an interim capacity to provide assistance in corporate compliance and manage the corporation until a more suitable candidate for Officer and Director could be found to move that company forward. At the time Mr. Diehl accepted the officer and director positions with PaperFree, the Company was delinquent in its periodic report filings with the SEC.  On November 16, 2010, Mr. Diehl resigned from PaperFree Medical Solutions. Neither a Form 15 nor any delinquent periodic reports were filed during his tenure with PaperFree.  TapSlide also is delinquent in its periodic filings with the SEC. Although TapSlide is endeavoring to bring its periodic filings current, it remains delinquent and there is no assurance that such filings will ever be brought current. Accordingly, our sole officer and director has been unable to cause two separate entities with reporting responsibilities under the Securities Exchange Act the 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) to file required reports in a timely manner. There can be no assurances that Mr. Diehl will be able to cause our Company to comply with subsequent periodic report filing deadlines in the event our registration statement is declared effective. The failure of the Company to comply with the periodic reporting requirements under the Exchange Act could ultimately result in the revocation of any effective registration by the Commission.


(3) Since We Are A Development Stage Company, The Company Has Generated No Revenues And Does Not Have An Operating History.  

The Company was incorporated on June 24, 2010; we have not yet commenced our business operations; and we have not yet realized any revenues. We have no operating history upon which an evaluation of our future prospects can be made. Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods as we incurred significant expenses associated with the initial startup of our business. Further, we cannot guarantee that we will be successful in realizing revenues or in achieving or sustaining positive cash flow at any time in the future. Any such failure could result in the possible closure of our business or force us to seek additional capital through loans or additional sales of our equity securities to continue business operations, which would dilute the value of any shares you purchase in this offering.

 (4) We Don’t Have Any Substantial Assets And Are Totally Dependent Upon The Proceeds Of This Offering To Fully Fund Our Business.  If We Do Not Sell The Shares In This Offering We Will Have To Seek Alternative Financing To Complete Our Business Plans Or Abandon Them.

Swingplane Ventures, Inc. has limited capital resources. To date, the Company has funded its operations from limited funding and has not generated any cash from operations to be profitable.  Unless Swingplane Ventures, Inc. begins to generate sufficient revenues to finance operations as a going concern, Swingplane Ventures, Inc. may experience liquidity and solvency problems.  Such liquidity and solvency problems may force Swingplane Ventures, Inc. to cease operations if additional financing is not available. No known alternative resources of funds are available to Swingplane Ventures, Inc. in the event it does not have adequate proceeds from this offering. However, Swingplane Ventures, Inc. believes that the net proceeds of the Offering will be sufficient to satisfy the start-up and operating requirements for the next twelve months.

 (5)  We Cannot Predict When Or If We Will Produce Revenues, Which Could Result In A Total Loss Of Your Investment If We Are Unsuccessful In Our Business Plans.

We have not sold any clothing to date and have not yet generated any revenues from operations. In order for us to continue with our plans and open our business, we must raise our initial capital through this offering. The timing of the completion of the milestones needed to commence operations and generate revenues is contingent on the success of this offering. There can be no assurance that we will generate revenues or that revenues will be sufficient to maintain our business. As a result, you could lose all of your investment if you decide to purchase shares in this offering and we are not successful in our proposed business plans.

Link to Table of Contents


 (6)  Our Continued Operations Depend On The Public’s Acceptance Of Our Product Lines.  If The Public Doesn’t Find Our Clothing Desirable And Suitable For Purchase And We Cannot Establish A Customer Base, We May Not Be Able To Generate Any Revenues, Which Would Result In A Failure Of Our Business And A Loss Of Any Investment You Make In Our Shares.

The ability to develop clothing lines that the market finds desirable and willing to purchase is critically important to our success. We cannot be certain that garments and clothing lines we offer will be appealing to the market and as a result there may not be any demand and our sales could be limited and we may never realize any revenues. In addition, there are no assurances that if we alter, or develop new garments or lines of clothing in the future that the markets demand for these will develop and this could adversely affect our business and any possible revenues.

 (7) We Are Dependent On The Services Of A Certain Key Employee And The Loss Of His Services Could Harm Our Business.

Our success largely depends on the continuing services of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Matt Diehl.  His past experience to lead and nurture small and start-up companies makes the Company dependent on his abilities.  Our continued success also depends on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel.  We believe that Mr. Diehl possesses valuable industry and business development knowledge, experience and leadership abilities that would be difficult in the short term to replicate.  The loss of him as a key employee could harm our operations, business plans and cash flows.

(8) The Clothing Industry Is Highly Competitive.  If We Cannot Develop And Market Desirable Clothing Lines That The Public Is Willing To Purchase, We Will Not Be Able To Compete Successfully.  Our Business May Be Adversely Affected And We May Not Be Able To Generate Any Revenues.

Swingplane Ventures, Inc. has many potential competitors in the clothing industry.  We consider the competition is competent, experienced, and they have greater financial and marketing resources than we do at the present. Our ability to compete effectively may be adversely affected by the ability of these competitors to devote greater resources to the development, sales, and marketing of their products than are available to us.

Some of the Company’s competitors also offer a wider range of clothing lines; have greater name recognition and more extensive customer bases than the Company.  These competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or changing opportunities, fashions and customer desires, undertake more extensive promotional activities, offer terms that are more attractive to customers and adopt more aggressive pricing policies than the Company.  Moreover, current and potential competitors have established or may establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties to enhance their visibility.  The Company expects that new competitors or alliances among competitors have the potential to emerge and may acquire significant market share.  Competition by existing and future competitors could result in an inability to secure adequate market share sufficient to support Swingplane Ventures’s endeavors.  Swingplane Ventures cannot be assured that it will be able to compete successfully against present or future competitors or that the competitive pressure it may face will not force it to cease operations.  As a result, you may never be able to liquidate or sell any shares you purchase in this offering.

(9)  Our Growth May Require Additional Capital, Which May Not Be Available.

Swingplane Ventures, Inc. has limited capital resources. Unless Swingplane Ventures, Inc. begins to generate sufficient revenues to finance operations as a going concern, Swingplane Ventures, Inc. may experience liquidity and solvency problems. Such liquidity and solvency problems may force Swingplane Ventures, Inc. to cease operations if additional financing is not available. No known alternative resources of funds are available to Swingplane Ventures, Inc. the event it does not have adequate proceeds from this offering. However, Swingplane Ventures, Inc. believes that the net proceeds of the Offering will be sufficient to satisfy the start-up and operating requirements for the next twelve months.

 Risks Related To This Offering

(10)We Are Selling This Offering Without An Underwriter And May Be Unable To Sell Any Shares.  Unless We Are Successful In Selling The Minimum Of The Shares And Receiving The Proceeds From This Offering, We May Have To Seek Alternative Financing To Implement Our Business Plans And You Would Receive A Return Of Your Entire Investment.

This offering is self-underwritten, that is, we are not going to engage the services of an underwriter to sell the shares; we intend to sell them through our officer and director, who will receive no commissions. He will offer the shares to friends, relatives, acquaintances and business associates; however, there is no guarantee that he will be able to sell any of the shares. In the event we do not sell all of



8


Link to Table of Contents


the shares before the expiration date of the offering, all funds raised will be promptly returned to the investors, without interest or deduction.

(11)  Due To The Lack Of A Trading Market For Our Securities, You May Have Difficulty Selling Any Shares You Purchase In This Offering.

There is presently no demand for our common stock and no public market exists for the shares being offered in this prospectus. We plan to contact a market maker immediately following the effectiveness of this Registration Statement and apply to have the shares quoted on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board (OTCBB). The OTCBB is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last sale prices and volume information in over-the-counter (OTC) securities. The OTCBB is not an issuer listing service, market or exchange. Although the OTCBB does not have any listing requirements per se, to be eligible for quotation on the OTCBB, issuers must remain current in their filings with the SEC or applicable regulatory authority. Market Makers are not permitted to begin quotation of a security whose issuer does not meet this filing requirement. Securities already quoted on the OTCBB that become delinquent in their required filings will be removed following a 30 or 60 day grace period if they do not make their required filing during that time. We cannot guarantee that our application will be accepted or approved and our stock listed and quoted for sale. As of the date of this filing, there have been no discussions or understandings between Swingplane Ventures, Inc. or anyone acting on our behalf with any market maker regarding participation in a future trading market for our securities. If no market is ever developed for our common stock, it will be difficult for you to sell any shares you purchase in this offering. In such a case, you may find that you are unable to achieve any benefit from your investment or liquidate your shares without considerable delay, if at all. In addition, if we fail to have our common stock quoted on a public trading market, your common stock will not have a quantifiable value and it may be difficult, if not impossible, to ever resell your shares, resulting in an inability to realize any value from your investment.


 (12) Investors In This Offering Will Bear A Substantial Risk Of Loss Due To Immediate And Substantial Dilution.

The principal shareholder of Swingplane Ventures, Inc. is Matt Diehl who also serves as its Director, President, Secretary, and Treasurer.  Mr. Diehl acquired 10,000,000 restricted shares of Swingplane Ventures, Inc. common stock at a price per share of $0.001 for a $10,000 equity investment.  Upon the sale of the common stock offered hereby, the investors in this offering will experience an immediate and substantial “dilution.”  Therefore, the investors in this offering will bear a substantial portion of the risk of loss. Additional sales of Swingplane Ventures, Inc. common stock in the future could result in further dilution. Please refer to the section titled “Dilution” herein.

 (13)  Purchasers In This Offering Will Have Limited Control Over Decision Making Because Matt Diehl, Swingplane Ventures, Inc.’s Officer, Director, And Shareholder Controls All Of Swingplane Ventures, Inc. Issued And Outstanding Common Stock.

Presently, Matt Diehl, Swingplane Ventures Inc.’s Director, President, Secretary, and Treasurer beneficially owns 100% of the outstanding common stock. Because of such ownership, investors in this offering will have limited control over matters requiring approval by Swingplane Ventures, Inc. security holders, including the election of directors. Mr. Diehl would retain 74.1% ownership in Swingplane Ventures, Inc. common stock assuming the maximum offering is attained.  Such concentrated control may also make it difficult for Swingplane Ventures, Inc. stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of Swingplane Ventures, Inc. common stock in the event Swingplane Ventures, Inc. enters into transactions, which require stockholder approval. In addition, certain provisions of Nevada law could have the effect of making it more difficult or more expensive for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire, control of Swingplane Ventures Inc. For example, Nevada law provides that not less than two-thirds vote of the stockholders is required to remove a director for cause, which could make it more difficult for a third party to gain control of the Board of Directors. This concentration of ownership limits the power to exercise control by the minority shareholders.

(14)  We Will Incur Ongoing Costs And Expenses For SEC Reporting And Compliance.  Without Revenue We May Not Be Able To Remain In Compliance, Making It Difficult For Investors To Sell Their Shares, If At All.

Our business plan allows for the estimated $5,500 cost of this Registration Statement to be paid from our cash on hand. We plan to contact a market maker immediately following the effectiveness of this Registration Statement and apply to have the shares quoted on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board. To be eligible for quotation on the OTCBB, issuers must remain current in their filings with the SEC. Market Makers are not permitted to begin quotation of a security whose issuer does not meet this filing requirement. Securities already quoted on the OTCBB that become delinquent in their required filings will be removed following a 30 or 60 day grace period if they do not make their required filing during that time. In order for us to remain in compliance we will require future revenues to cover the cost of these filings, which could comprise a substantial portion of our available cash resources. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenues to remain in compliance it may be difficult for you to resell any shares you may purchase, if at all.

 (15) There Has Been No Independent Valuation of the Stock, Which Means That the Stock May Be Worth Less Than the Purchase Price.

The per share purchase price has been arbitrarily determined by us without independent valuation of the shares.   The price per share in the recent sale of our stock to our founder, Matthew R. Diehl was at par value ($0.001), was not based on perceived market value, book value, or other established criteria and bears no relationship the price per share in this offering.  We did not obtain an independent appraisal opinion on the valuation of the shares.  Accordingly, the shares may have a value significantly less than the offering price and the shares may never obtain a value equal to or greater than the offering price.

(16) Our CEO, Mr. Diehl, is currently a director and officer of one delinquent public company, and has previously been an officer and director of another delinquent public company.

Mr. Diehl is COO and a director for TapSlide, Inc., which is currently delinquent in its reporting obligations.  TapSlide is working to become current as soon as possible.  Additionally, Swingplane Ventures and TapSlide both have corporate addresses listed as Mr. Diehl’s residence.  In effort to keep costs as low as possible for both companies, Mr. Diehl provides his home office on a rent free basis to both companies for their executive offices.  Furthermore, Mr. Diehl became an officer and director on an interim basis for PaperFree Medical Solutions, Inc., a delinquent public company, from August 3, 2010 to November 16, 2010 in order to assist in the search for an officer and director more qualified than Mr. Diehl to move that company forward.  During his time with PaperFree Medical Solutions, no Form 15 nor any other delinquent periodic report were filed.  Mr. Diehl no longer spends any of his time on PaperFree Medical Solutions, Inc. It is the responsibility of the delinquent public company, PaperFree Medical Solutions, to file a Form 8-K reflecting the resignation of Mr. Diehl effective November 16, 2010. Regardless, it should be noted that Mr. Diehl has been a director and officer for two delinquent reporting public companies and hence there can be no assurances that Swingplane Ventures will remain current in its filings under his management. The failure of the Company to comply with the periodic reporting requirements under the Exchange Act could ultimately result in the revocation of any effective registration by the Commission.

(17) Our CEO, Mr. Diehl, has no experience as an officer or director of an apparel business and may not be able implement our business plan or generate any revenue from sales of our products.

Mr. Diehl does not have experience running an apparel company and has never been an officer or director of an apparel company.  Accordingly, Mr. Diehl may not be able to implement our plan or generate any revenue from the sale of our intended products.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and hire officers or directors with experience in the apparel industry to implement the business plan in the event that Mr. Diehl is otherwise successful in doing so.

(2)

The category of Wages/Contractors includes, but is not limited to fees associated with contract labor.  The company will not be using the funds to pay the President and CEO, Mr. Diehl.

The foregoing purposes represent our best estimate of the allocation of the net proceeds from this offering based upon the current state of our business operations, current plans, and the current economic and industry conditions. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including the status of our development efforts, sales and marketing activities, the amount of cash generated or used by our operations, our competition and the other factors described in the section entitled “Risk Factors”.


We reserve the right to change the use of these proceeds as a result of these contingencies:  (a) the need for more working capital; and, (b) whether our sales and marketing efforts are successful.  In the event that we experience negative results from our sales and marketing efforts, we will likely be forced to reallocate some of the proceeds for use as working capital to maintain our business and to fund legal and accounting expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of our periodic reports under the Exchange Act. Similarly, we may determine that we are in need of more working capital in order to implement the growth strategy and milestones set forth herein. Any reallocation of funds may necessitate an additional capital raise. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to raise additional capital from any institution or individual investors.


Item 5. Determination of Offering Price.

The offering price of the common stock has been arbitrarily determined and bears no relationship to any objective criterion of value. The price does not bear any relationship to Swingplane Ventures Inc.’s assets, book value, historical earnings, or net worth. In determining the offering price, management considered such factors as the prospects, if any, for similar companies, anticipated results of operations, present financial resources and the likelihood of acceptance of this offering.


Item 6. Dilution.

“Dilution” represents the difference between the offering price of the shares of common stock and the net book value per share of common stock immediately after completion of the offering. “Net Book Value” is the amount that results from subtracting total liabilities from total assets. In this offering, the level of dilution is increased as a result of the relatively low book value of Swingplane Ventures Inc.’s issued and outstanding stock. This is due in part because of the common stock issued to the Swingplane Ventures, Inc. officer, director, and employee totaling 10,000,000 shares at par value $0.001 per share versus the current offering price of $0.01 per share. Please refer to the section titled “Certain Transactions”, herein, for more information. Swingplane Ventures, Inc. net book value on June 30, 2010 was $10,000.  Assuming all 3,500,000 shares offered are sold, and in effect Swingplane Ventures, Inc. receive the maximum estimated proceeds of this offering from shareholders, Swingplane Ventures, Inc. net book value will be approximately $0.0033 per share. Therefore, any investor will incur an immediate and substantial dilution of approximately $0.0067 per share while the Swingplane Ventures, Inc. present stockholder will receive an increase of $0.0023 per share in the net tangible book value of the shares that he holds. This will result in an 75% dilution for purchasers of stock in this offering.

COMMON STOCK

Swingplane Ventures Corporation’s authorized capital stock consists of 70,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share.

The holders of our common stock:

     1. Have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available therefore, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors;

     2. Are entitled to share ratably in all of assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution, or
         winding up of corporate affairs;

     3. Do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights; and

     4. Are entitled to one vote per share on all matters on which stockholders may vote.


NON-CUMULATIVE VOTING

Holders of Swingplane Ventures, Inc. common stock do not have cumulative voting rights,which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of Swingplane Ventures, Inc. directors. After this offering is completed, and assuming all 3,500,000 shares being offered are sold, present stockholders will own approximately 74% of our outstanding shares.


PREFERRED STOCK

Swingplane Ventures, Inc. has no current plans to either issue any preferred stock or adopt any series, preferences, or other classification of the 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized with a par value $0.001 as stated in the Articles of Incorporation.  The Board of Directors is authorized to (i) provide for the issuance of shares of the authorized preferred stock in series and (ii) by filing a certificate pursuant to the laws of Nevada, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, all without any further vote or action by the stockholders. Any shares of issued preferred stock would have priority over the common stock with respect to dividend or liquidation rights. Any future issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of



13


Link to Table of Contents


delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of the company without further action by the stockholders and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of common stock.


The issuance of shares of preferred stock, or the issuance of rights to purchase such shares, could be used to discourage an unsolicited acquisition proposal. For instance, the issuance of a series of preferred stock might impede a business combination by including class voting rights that would enable the holder to block such a transaction, or facilitate a business combination by including voting rights that would provide a required percentage vote of the stockholders. In addition, under certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of the common stock. Although the Board of Directors is required to make any determination to issue such stock based on its judgment as to the best interests of stockholders, the Board of Directors could act in a manner that would discourage an acquisition attempt or other transaction that potentially some, or a majority, of the stockholders might believe to be in their best interests or in which stockholders might receive a premium for their stock over the then market price of such stock. The Board of Directors does not at present intend to seek shareholder approval prior to any issuance of currently authorized stock, unless otherwise required by law or stock exchange rules.


PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS

No holder of any shares of Swingplane Ventures, Inc. stock has preemptive or preferential rights to acquire or subscribe for any shares not issued of any class of stock or any unauthorized securities convertible into or carrying any right, option, or warrant to subscribe for or acquire shares of any class of stock not disclosed herein.

CASH DIVIDENDS

As of the date of this prospectus, Swingplane Ventures, Inc. has not paid any cash dividends to stockholders. The declaration of any future cash dividend will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon earnings, if any, capital requirements and financial position, general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions. Swingplane Ventures, Inc. does not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in business operations.

After this offering, Swingplane Ventures, Inc. will furnish its shareholders with annual financial reports certified by independent accountants, and may, at its discretion, furnish unaudited quarterly financial reports.

As of the date of this Registration Statement, Swingplane Ventures, Inc. has had only limited start-up operations and has not generated revenues. The Company will not be profitable until it derives sufficient revenues and cash flows from garment sales.  We believes that, if we obtain the proceeds from



14


Link to Table of Contents


this offering, we will be able to implement the business plan and conduct business pursuant to the business plan for the next twelve months. Swingplane Ventures Inc.'s administrative office is located at 220 Summit Blvd. #402, Broomfield, CO 80021. Swingplane Ventures Inc.'s fiscal year end is June 30.


Business Overview

Swingplane Ventures Inc. is a development stage men's and women's golf fashion manufacturer located in Broomfield, Colorado.  The Company intends for its initial clothing line to consist of tailored-fit golf shirts.  The use of lightweight and breathable fibers that the Company intends to use could position the Company among larger companies in a competitive market.  We plan to stay on the cutting edge of the constantly changing golf apparel market and create a reputation with the consumer of providing unique and desirable designs at affordable prices.  This market dictates that new styles and designs be introduced on a regular basis, which is part of our long term strategy.


Our initial designs are planned to be tailored-fit men's golf shirts with shorter sleeves and unique design patterns.  Mr. Diehl currently has design concepts and upon the successful completion of this offering we intend to search for professional assistance to turn these concepts into prototypes.  We intend to market the designs under the "Swingplane" brand.  Because of its fit, fibers, and design, our target market for this garment is the 15 - 35 year old male golfer as an alternative to other brands. 


Current Management is comprised of Matt Diehl, CEO and President. Mr. Diehl has over 10 years of experience in working with both small and development stage companies as well as larger established companies.  These companies include SendPhotos, Inc. and large companies like JPMorgan Chase.   Prior to the last 5 years, Mr. Diehl sold financial products for JPMorgan Chase and was on the Board of Governors of the Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation representing Chase.  Mr. Diehl is an avid golfer and fashion aficionado.  Mr. Diehl distributes part of his time towards the everyday operations and forward movement of the corporation. 

Acknowledging the inherent risks involved in fashion design, we will assess the need for any patents or trademarks on a continuing basis to protect our main design(s).  Once the process is initiated, designs are initially protected under the Patent Pending Process provision while completing the full patenting process.  This protection will cover the United States, initially, also giving first priority to the European Community.


Distribution

The Company plans to initially focus its effort of distribution through online sales directly to the consumer.  With our limited resources, the cost efficiencies involved in online sales is our targeted method for the distribution of our products.  The company has secured a distinctive URL (web address) in www.swingplaneventures.com.  A portion of the funds raised by this offering (see “Use of Proceeds”) will go toward developing our website.  Currently, the company does not have a website in place but desires to build a website upon completion of this offering.  The Company anticipates hiring an outside third party web developer to design and build the website.  We have used the Price Quote Calculator at WebPageFX (www.webpagefx.com) to estimate the cost of a fully functioning website with ecommerce functionality to be between $5,000 and $9,000.  While it is possible that the costs for a fully functional website could greatly exceed $5,000 to $9,000, we believe that we can have a third party web development company build a website to our specifications that will generate revenues for a price in that range.  Such a website would be comprised of company information, every product that we offer, and the ability to generate sales with just a few clicks of the mouse.  The proposed website would also include efforts by the Company to engage in SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and cross-marketing/linking with other golf-related websites to drive traffic to www.swingplaneventures.com.  At this time, no other websites or companies have been engaged, negotiated with, or contracted to participate in cross-linking or cross-marketing with the Company with regard to website related activities.


Product Development

The original thought behind the design/concept was to target young golfers who are looking for stylish and comfortable golf apparel at reasonable prices.  The current design incorporates the use of breathable microfibers and design and fit desireable to today's younger golfers.  We hope that these successful design elements and company branding will create a unique distinction for Swingplane Ventures in this competitive market.


Long term goals include the development of a full line of this innovative golf apparel comprised of shirts, pants, shorts, skirts, and hats.   The addition of other products such as shorts, skirts, and headwear are planned long term activities that depend entirely on future financing and thus may not occur.  Swingplane Ventures plans to offer fits, fabrics, and designs that younger golfers should find desirable and at a reasonable prices.


Clearly defined goals, both short and long term, will be an intricate part of the daily decision making process within the organization.  It is with these defined goals in mind that allows Swingplane Ventures to feel confident with the many decisions required to maintain progressive working concepts.  Within the next 12 months, Swingplane Ventures plans to have all current design board projects patterned, prototyped, and manufacturing requirements completed for direct markets.

Industry Analysis and Competition

Industry and Trend Analysis

According to Sundale Research’s State of the Industry: Golf Equipment in the U.S, report, published June of 2006, “changing demographics in the golf industry are causing a shift in golf fashions. High-tech golfwear like haute-tailored wet and wind resistant outfits and trendy footwear and gloves are driving sales.” The report goes on to say that sales of these products are expected to be more than 2.4 billion in 2010. Professional golfers are the primary source for the changes in style popularity and fabrics that younger golfers are seeking. One needs only to look at the top players in the world to see the youthful, tailored-fit styles that the pros are wearing. The market for tailored and dry-fabric golf clothing has balooned since J. Lindeberg first hit the scene in 1997 with its pioneering golf line worn by young professional golfers. Note: the most popular tour professionals with youth today are under 35 years old. These younger amateur golfers are our market.  A copy of Sundale Research’s State of the Industry report is included as an exhibit to this prospectus.

With prices now ranging from $75 to $125 for a high-end golf polo shirt, it's no wonder that new brands are emerging all the time, each trying to distinguish itself with different fabrics, cuts, fits, designs, and branding elements. As long as customers continue to want the next, best, latest golf clothing without much resistance to higher prices, the golf garment market will continue to provide opportunity for smaller independent manufacturers trying to acquire market share, especially when combining those elements with a lower price point.


There is no doubt as to the popularity of high end golf apparel evidenced by the success of J. Lindeberg, a company whose golf shirts and pants set the tone for the look that younger golfers are seeking.  Other companies such as Adidas, Puma, Nike, Ecco, Ashworth, Cutter & Buck, and Sligo have also enjoyed recent success attributed to the popularity of their design elements and fabrics.  The market for high end golf apparel is highly competitive.  As a smaller company, Swingplane Ventures will need to provide equal style and comfort at a lower price than the brands mentioned above to be competitive.  Most of our competitors have much greater financial resources and longer operating histories than we do and as a result may be able to offer their apparel at lower prices.  While we will strive to find the lowest prices for fabric and design, there are no assurances that we will be able to do so.  If we are not able to offer lower priced clothing with popular styling, we will be forced to compete with other manufacturers that have higher budgets for marketing and as such will have a competitive advantage.  Since we have not commenced planned operations to any significant measure and have not generated revenues, we do not presently possess any market share of sales generated in the industry.


As the next generation of golfers mature, they are demanding all their golf apparel be stylish, tailored-filling, and reasonably priced.  There are more women and girls taking up golf than ever before and yet the bulk of stylish and tailored-fit golf clothing are driven towards the aging male market.  By utilizing high quality breathable "dry" materials and desirable fits and designs, Swingplane Ventures hopes to gain popularity with the younger generation of golfers - both male and female.

According to National Golf Foundation (http://www.golflink.com/facts_6346_many-people-play-golf-usa.html), nearly 29 million people play golf in the United States alone, and that number has remained between 25 and 30 million since 2000.  However, due to the fit, fabric, and graphics of our designs, Swingplane Ventures hopes to grow quickly with its sales and marketing efforts because non-golfers will also find the clothing to be comfortable, cool, and stylish.  The apparel of Swingplane Ventures may cross over in the active/leisure market, tennis market, and other markets where simply looking good in casual wear is desired.  We intend to  introduce a garment line into the fashion market that may increase our sales possibilities,  with the ability of the consumer to choose its style preference within our line. 

Fashion industry marketing seems to have only one worldwide boundary, the demarcation between developed and undeveloped countries.  The planned market areas will include North America, South America, Europe, Australia, and Asia.

1.

Young Men and Women Aged 15 to 21:  This is the main target sales demographic to be exploited by Swingplane Ventures Inc.  These young golfers are pre-budget age and tend to be spontaneous wave buyers.  Their purchases are predicated on what is being bought by their friends and little attention is given to cost especially within the $20.00 - $50.00 pricing range.  Most of Swingplane Ventures fashions will be priced within that range.

2.

College Men and Women: A large number of college-aged men and women play golf, tennis, and dress active/casual on a daily basis.  With the introduction of garments in school colors, traditional school support can also be realized, offering an emotional purchase.  Additionally, with a lower price point than our competition but a look that is very aggressively styled for this group, these garments can be worn off the golf course to class and other active/leisure activities.

3.

Women Golfers Aged 25 to 45 : These women make up a large part of the main demographic because this is the demographic that is calling for more stylish and better fitting activewear at more affordable prices.  Despite the offerings by our competitors, there is an apparent lack in the affordable golf apparel market for women.  Through aggressive styling, form-

fitting/tailored-fitting, "dry" breathable fabrics, and lower price points than similar garments by other companies, Swingplane Ventures aims to meet the exacting needs of today's women golfers.

4.

Men Golfers Aged 25 to 45: These men make up an important part of our main demographic because they purchase more golf clothing than any other segment.  Because the garments are not only uniquely stylish, but also very functional and practical for all forms of exercise, the loyal demands of the active market can be met. 


Marketing

In its long term planning, Swingplane Ventures will employ three (3) major marketing strategies in an effort to gain market share in the active/leisure market.  Online marketing via the Internet will be utilized initially, followed in the future with an outside commissioned sales force and print media ads.  The long term marketing phases of a commissioned sales force and print ad campaigns may be entirely dependent on future financing and thus may not occur.  These strategies are listed in order of budget requirement to allow Swingplane Ventures the ability to use revenues gained from the most cost effective method of marketing (online via internet) to fund the more expensive but valuable method of marketing (commission sales) and subsequently using revenues from both of the previous to fund the most expensive and very effective form of marketing and product branding (print media).  However, it should be noted that there may not be enough revenues from online marketing to completely fund either the sales force or print ad campaigns.  Again, these may be partially or completely dependent on future financing and thus may not occur.


Online Marketing

Americans spent more online on clothing in 2006 than they did on computer hardware and software for the first time in history, according to the National Retail Federation’s article, stating the first part of “The State of Retailing Online 2007,” the tenth annual Shop.org study conducted by Forrester Research, which surveyed 170 retailers.  To read the article online, please visit http://www.nrf.com/modules.php?name=news&op=viewlive&sp_id=292.   


And, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, “E-Stats, 2008 E-commerce Multi-sector Report’’ (published May 2010), online clothing and clothing accessories sales grew from $2.061 billion in 2007 to $2.539 billion in 2008.  That report can be found online at the following URL:


http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/cats/wholesale_retail_trade/online_retail_sales.html


Also, the overview report can be found at URL:


http://www.census.gov/econ/estats/index.html


This report shows tables with the overall growth of online sales from 2000 to 2008 which the Company finds very encouraging.

Given the above statistic along with the relative ease and cost effectiveness in creating an online marketing presence,  Swingplane Ventures feels that once the garments have been produced, it can start generating revenues with comparatively little cash outlay.  Through the online tools offered by companies like Google, E-Bay, and Craig’s List, Swingplane Ventures will be able to reach a global audience with the same capital as used to be necessary to reach a very local limited market. 

Additionally, social media outlets such as Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, and many others have opened up a new and powerful method for shoppers to share their likes and dislikes for products.  Properly placed and managed social media networks for the company will provide Swingplane Ventures with tools to generate revenue from online purchases with comparatively little cash outlay.


Commissioned Sales Force

Once revenues are generated from online sales and a full line of products have been prototyped, developed, and produced, Swingplane Ventures’s plan is to implement sales via an outside commissioned sales force.  The only costs to the company is the creation of samples for each and every sales person to have as well as print media to properly promote all of the products.  With the introduction of a full fashion line, Swingplane Ventures plans to be represented in all major fashion marts located in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, and Dallas. All formal representation will be done on a commission basis. With available investment capital, it will be possible to supply all major distributors with the necessary samples for proper displaying.  Additionally, commissioned sales people will contact golf clubs via telephone to introduce the club managers to our offerings and drive them to the company website.  Swingplane Ventures has set goals to be represented in hundreds, or even thousands of golf courses and clubs around the country. Currently, Swingplane Ventures does not have any representation in any golf courses or golf clubs.


Print Media

In order to properly brand the Swingplane Ventures products an extensive print media campaign will have to be utilized.  The pitfall to this method of marketing and branding is the relative high cost when compared to online marketing and commissioned sales.  Although online sales growth statistics are overwhelmingly positive, strong competitors in the apparel industry still rely on traditional print media for product marketing and more importantly, product branding.  Advertising statistics show that a consumer generally needs to see a product 4 – 6 times prior to actively participating in a purchase.  Most rate cards for monthly publications are designed for the advertiser to purchase 6 consecutive months of advertising space to be effective in achieving its marketing/branding goal.

Media advertising will be monitored closely and handled as efficiently as possible. With magazine advertising costs mentioned above, publications will be carefully selected. Joint advertising campaigns will be sought out between Swingplane Ventures and larger



17

distributors such as department stores. We do not currently have any joint advertising campaigns with larger distributors.  Joint campaigns are a viable way to stretch the advertising dollar. Markets intended to be covered in our monthly media effort will include golf, sports, tennis, youth athletics, and casual wear worlds.  With the associated costs, photography and models, a six month print media campaign can be quite expensive for our Company at the present.  Swingplane Ventures has done the necessary due diligence on this marketing medium and plans to incorporate this in our next phase of operations.  


12 Month Growth Strategy and Milestones

  

Our mission is to maximize shareholder value through expanding the scope of operations and evaluating and cultivating new and alternative revenue generating opportunities.  The Company is committed to development of new and innovative products.  While a strategic and wisely executed marketing campaign is key to expanding our wholesale and retail customer base; providing new, cutting-edge, innovative products will position the Company in the best possible way for long term success.


The Company planned the goals and milestones based on raising $35,000 through this offering. We have taken careful consideration to budget the $35,000 to sustain operations for a twelve-month period following the closing of this offering. However, there are no assurances that we will be able to sustain operations for a twelve-month period with $35,000.00 of paid in capital regardless of our careful planning. In the event that we do not realize the full proceeds from this offering and are required to promptly return investor subscription proceeds, we will be forced to scale back our efforts to accomodate for a reduced amount of capital from other potential, yet unknown, sources.  In this event, the Company plans to have a strategic planning session to budget for this shortfall.


We reserve the right to change the use of these proceeds as a result of these contingencies:  (a) the need for more working capital; and, (b) whether our sales and marketing efforts are successful.  In the event that we experience negative results from our sales and marketing efforts, we will likely be forced to reallocate some of the proceeds from the various line items for use as working capital to maintain our business and to fund legal and accounting expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of our periodic reports under the Exchange Act. Similarly, we may determine that we are in need of more working capital in order to implement the growth strategy and milestones set forth herein. Any reallocation of funds may necessitate an additional capital raise. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to raise additional capital from any institution or individual investors.



Note: The Company planned the milestones based on quarters following the closing of the offering.

Market Price of and Dividends on the Company’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

No public market currently exists for shares of our common stock.  Following completion of this offering, we intend to apply to have our common stock listed for quotation on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board.

Impact of the “Penny Stock” Rules On Buying Or Selling Our Common Stock

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks.  Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).

A purchaser is purchasing penny stock which limits the ability to sell the stock.  The shares offered by this prospectus constitute penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act.  The shares will remain penny stocks for the foreseeable future.  The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his/her investment.  Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in us will be subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Securities and Exchange Act.  Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.

The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document, which:

·

Contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stock in both Public offerings and secondary trading;

·

Contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended;

·

Contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including “bid” and “ask” price for the penny stock and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;

·

Contains a toll-free number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;

·

Defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and

·

Contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size and format) as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation.



19


Link to Table of Contents


The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, to the customer:

·

The bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;

·

The compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;

·

The number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and

·

Monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.


In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgement of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.  These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules.  Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling their securities.

REGULATION M

Our officer and director, who will offer and sell the Shares, is aware that he is required to comply with the provisions of Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes the officers and directors, sales agents, any broker-dealer or other person who participate in the distribution of shares in this offering from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete.

Reports to Security Holders

We will file reports and other information with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  You may read and copy any document that we file at the SEC’s public reference facilities at 100 F. Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549.  Please call the SEC at 1-800-732-0330 for more information about its public reference facilities.  Our SEC filings will be available to you free of charge at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov.


Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report.  The management’s discussion, analysis of financial condition, and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this prospectus.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $8,549 for the period from inception to September 30, 2010.  As the Company's business operations have been focused on developing our business plan and market research, this raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. 

The following table provides selected financial data about our company for the period from the date of inception through December 31, 2010.  For detailed financial information, see the financial statements included in this prospectus.

Other than the shares offered by this prospectus, no other source of capital has been identified or sought.  If we experience a shortfall in operating capital prior to funding from the proceeds of this offering, our director has verbally agreed to advance the company funds to complete the registration process.

Plan of Operation

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. For the period ended  December 31, 2010, Company has had no operations.  As of  December 31, 2010, the Company has not emerged from the development stage.  In view of these matters, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to begin operations and to achieve a level of profitability.  The Company intends on financing its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of public equity securities with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.  The financial statements of the Company did not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficit of $1,027, as of December 31, 2010 and the Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $11,027 for the period from Inception to December 31, 2010.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of its planned business.  Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.   

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

As of April 11, 2011, the Company has $323 in cash and cash equivalents.

Proposed Milestones to Implement Business Operations

The following milestones are estimates only.  The working capital requirements and the projected milestones are approximations only and subject to adjustment based on costs and needs.  Our 12 month budget is based on minimum operations which will be completely funded by the $35,000 raised through this offering.  If we begin to generate profits we will increase our marketing and sales activity accordingly.  We estimate sales to begin in the third quarter following closing of the offering.  Because our business is driven by actual sales of garments, our revenue requirements will be reviewed and adjusted based on those actual sales.  The costs associated with operating as a public company are included in our budget.  Management will be responsible for the preparation of the required documents to keep the costs to a minimum. 


The Company planned the goals and milestones based on raising $35,000 through this offering. We have taken careful consideration to budget the $35,000 to sustain operations for a twelve-month period following the closing of this offering.  However, there are no assurances that we will be able to sustain operations for a twelve-month period with $35,000.00 of paid in capital regardless of our careful planning. In the event that we do not realize the full proceeds from this offering and are required to promptly return investor subscription proceeds, we will be forced to scale back our efforts to accomodate for a reduced amount of capital from other potential, yet unknown, sources.  In this event, the Company plans to have a strategic planning session to budget for this shortfall.

 We reserve the right to change our use of proceeds as a result of these potential contingencies:  (a) the need for more working capital; and, (b) whether our sales and marketing efforts are successful.  In the event that we experience negative results from our sales and marketing efforts, we will likely be forced to reallocate some of the proceeds from the various line items for use as working capital to maintain our business and to fund legal and accounting expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of our periodic reports under the Exchange Act. Similarly, we may determine that we are in need of more working capital in order to implement the growth strategy and milestones set forth herein. Any reallocation of funds may necessitate an additional capital raise. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to raise additional capital from any institution or individual investors.

We plan to complete our milestones as follows:

0- 3 MONTHS

Management will concentrate on the completion of the Registration Statement and finish the garment designs currently proposed.  We estimate this will cost approximately $3,000 and have budget this cost in the Wages/Contractor line item in the Use of Proceeds.  The Company will also start working on creating the patterns and prototypes.  Swingplane Ventures estimates this will cost approximately $2,000 and this amount is budgeted in the Product Development line item in the Use of Proceeds.  Swingplane Ventures also plans to explore online marketing options and interview photographers and models.  The Company does not anticipate any fees associated with these duties and if any costs do arise they will come from the Working Capital line item in the Use of Proceeds.

4-6 MONTHS

Swingplane Ventures has secured the web domain www.swingplaneventures.com and plans on developing our Online Marketing Website.  We utilized the Price Quote Calculator at WebpageFX (www.webpagefx.com) to project that the cost of an initial website with basic graphic design and small page count to cost between $3,000 and $5,000.  We have decided to keep the design to a minimum and as such the cost would be approximately $3,000 and is budgeted in the Sales and Marketing line item of the Use of Proceeds.  The site that is planned will provide for easy navigation, display of all products, and concise company information and will be a fully functional website. During this timeframe, the Company plans to hire a photographer, determine a photo shoot layout, hire a model and prepare garments for a photo shoot.  The Company estimates this will cost approximately $2,000 and is budgeted in the Sales and Marketing line item.  The Company will continue design work on the clothing line.  We have budgeted $2,000 from Wages/Contractor line item to address this item.  The Company plans to start negotiations for an online merchant account during this timeframe.

7-9 MONTHS

Purchase garments for sale and promotional distribution efforts we have budgeted at a cost of approximately $5,000. This cost is budgeted in the Product Development line item of the Use of Proceeds.  We plan to finish the website “look and feel” design with full e-commerce and add the content of the photo shoot.  The website will integrate a “shopping cart” for online sales and we will determine online marketing venues such as Google, E-Bay and other vertical market venues.  We utilized WebpageFX’s Price Quote Calculator (www.webpagefx.com) to project that the cost of adding a basic e-commerce aspect to the website would cost between $2,000 and $4,000.  The Company estimates it will cost approximately $3,000 for this project and this budgeted in the Sales and Marketing line item of the Use of Proceeds.  Once the ecommerce functionality is added to the Company’s website, the website will be able to display company information, all products, and be robust enough to generate significant online sales.  While it is possible that the cost to build a fully functional website could greatly exceed $9,000, we are confident that the budgeted $5,000 to $9,000 for the website is sufficient and will provide us with a website that can generate a significant amount of sales.

10-12 MONTHS

Analyze online marketing efforts and make necessary changes for increasing sales.  The Company plans to continue to develop design ideas  for the “Swingplane" clothing line.  The Company has allocated from the Sales and Marketing budget and $1,000 from the Wages/Contractor budget to address the plans listed.  Future long term plans are  to prepare a detailed two year marketing plan to incorporate a potential commissioned sales force.

Note: The Company planned the milestones based on quarters following the closing of the offering.    We currently consider the foregoing project timeline to be accurate to the best of our estimations and intend to use the proceeds from this offering first and primarily along this project timeline.

The foregoing purposes represent our best estimate of the allocation of the net proceeds from this offering based upon the current state of our business operations, current plans, and the current economic and industry conditions.  The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including the status of our development efforts, sales and marketing activities, the amount of cash generated or used by our operations, our competition and the other factors described in the section entitled “Risk Factors”.

Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.


Critical Accounting Policies

A. Basis Of Accounting

The financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting.  The statements were prepared following generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America consistently applied.  The Company has elected a June 30 year end.

B. Basic Earnings Per Share

The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement Number 128, “Earnings per Share” (“EPS”) which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation.  In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  There are no dilutive shares outstanding.  No significant realized exchange gains or losses were recorded from inception (June 24, 2010) to December 31, 2010.

C. Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds and certificates of term deposits with maturities of less than three months from inception, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value.  The Company had $398 in cash and cash equivalent at December 31, 2010.

 

D. Use Of Estimates And Assumptions

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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


E. Income Taxes

Deferred  income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with SFAS Number 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax loss and credit carry-forwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards when realization is more likely than not.


New Accounting Pronouncements

Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.


Financial Disclosure

Our fiscal year end is June 30.  We intend to provide financial statements audited by an Independent Registered Accounting Firm to our shareholders in our annual reports.  The audited financial statements for the period from the date of incorporation, June 24, 2010, to June 30, 2010 are located in the section titled “Financial Statements”.

President, Secretary and Chairman of the Board of Directors (1)

(1)

Mr. Diehl will serve as a director until the next annual shareholder meeting.


The term of office of each director of the Company ends at the next annual meeting of the Company's stockholders or when such director's successor is elected and qualifies.  No date for the next annual meeting of stockholders is specified in the Company's bylaws or has been fixed by the Board of Directors.  The term of office of each officer of the Company ends at the next annual meeting of the Company's Board of Directors, expected to take place immediately after the next annual meeting of stockholders, or when such officer's successor is elected and qualifies. 

Background of Executive Officers and Director

The following information sets forth the backgrounds and business experience of the directors and executive officers.

MATTHEW DIEHL, PRESIDENT, SECRETARY AND CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS   

Mr. Diehl has over 10 years of experience in business development in both early stage  and established companies like SendPhotos, Inc. and large companies like JPMorgan Chase.   From early 2002 to May of 2005, Mr. Diehl sold financial products, primarily home mortgage loans as a Loan Officer, for JPMorgan Chase.  Towards the end of his tenure there, from approximately September of 2004 through April of 2005, Mr. Diehl was on the Board of Governors of the Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation representing Chase.  As a member of this Board, Mr. Diehl voted on political and other measures to be performed on behalf of the Board to grow economic development in and around the Denver metro area.  He was not compensated for his Board membership as his efforts were volunteered on a monthly-meeting basis.  In the last five years, he has worked with SendPhotos, Inc. as Director of Sales and Operations from May of 2005 until it was acquired by Avanquest Software in October of 2006 and stayed on at Avanquest as the Multimedia Sales Manger through October of 2007.  In those roles Mr. Diehl sold business-to-business software products and direct-to-consumer software products as well as assisting in general operations, web-site marketing and software product design.  We believe that this specific experience at SendPhotos, Inc. and subsequently with Avanquest Software makes Mr. Diehl an asset to the Company as we begin design and development of our own website and online marketing strategies.  

After that, he headed up the photo kiosk program for LifePics, Inc. as the Kiosk Product Manager, which entailed managing the development of photo software for kiosk hardware. He managed a team of software developers as well as assisting in software product design, website marketing and business-to-business sales.  After growing that part of the business from January of 2008, that division was broken up in October 2008.  Again, the Company feels that Mr. Diehl’s experience being part of a growing small business as well as website design and online marketing strategies lends to the Company’s current needs.  Since then, he has been COO and a director for TapSlide, Inc., where he is currently working on a part-time basis.  Mr. Diehl devotes about 5-10 hours per week on TapSlide.  TapSlide has a mobile software application for sale in the Apple App Store called Inked Magazine, which sells for $1.99 each.  TapSlide has generated some revenues from this application and has operations, though not substantial, and is currently working to catch up on its delinquent filings.   In January 2010, Mr. Diehl started a limited liability company for his consultancy and business development skills called AppVineyard, LLC in Colorado.  He spends the majority of his time with his own company, AppVineyard, LLC selling software applications and business development services.

Furthermore, Mr. Diehl agreed on August 3, 2010 to come aboard temporarily, as an Officer and Director, for PaperFree Medical Solutions, Inc. in order to assist in the search for an Officer and Director more qualified than Mr. Diehl to move that company forward.  Mr. Diehl resigned from PaperFree Medical Solutions on November 16, 2010 and has no further involvement with the Company whatsoever. It is the responsibility of PaperFree Medical Solutions to file a Form 8-K to disclose the resignation of Mr. Diehl but unfortunately at the time of this statement, no such Form 8-K has been filed.

 Mr. Diehl is an avid golfer and fashion aficionado.  Because of his experience in business development, corporate growth and expansion, and public company experience, the Company believes that Mr. Diehl is an ideal candidate for Director and Officer.  Mr. Diehl distributes part of his time towards the everyday operations and forward movement of the corporation. 

Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of our common stock, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership and reports of changes of ownership of our common stock.  Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

We intend to ensure to the best of our ability that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners are complied with in a timely fashion.

Executive Compensation

Currently, our officer and director receives no compensation, other than shares of common stock previously issued, for his services during the development stage of our business operations.  He is reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses that he incurs on our behalf.  In the future, we may approve payment of salaries for officers and directors, but currently, no such plans have been approved.  We also do not currently have any benefits, such as health or life insurance, available to our employees.

(1) The percentages are based on a Before-Offering total of 10,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this prospectus and assume none of the 10,000,000 shares of our  current security holder’s shares will be sold and all of the 3,500,000 shares registered in the offering will be sold.

(2)  As used in this table, “beneficial ownership” means the sole or shared power to vote, or to direct the voting of, a security, or the sole or share investment power with respect to a security (i.e., the power to dispose of, or to direct the disposition of a security).

(3)  Assumes the sale of the maximum amount of this offering (3,500,000 shares of common stock) by Swingplane Ventures, Inc. The aggregate amount of shares to be issued and outstanding after the offering is 13,500,000.

Future Sales By Existing Stockholder

A total of 10,000,000 shares have been issued to the existing stockholder, all of which are held by our sole officer and director and are restricted securities, as that term is defined in Rule 144 of the Rules and Regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Act.  Under Rule 144, such shares can be publicly sold, subject to volume restrictions and certain restrictions on the manner of sale, commencing one year after their acquisition.  Any sale of shares held by the existing stockholder (after applicable restrictions expire) and/or the sale of shares purchased in this offering (which would be immediately resalable after the offering), may have a depressive effect on the price of our common stock in any market that may develop, of which there can be no assurance.

Our principal shareholder does not have any plans to sell his shares at any time after this offering is complete.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Matt Diehl is our sole officer and director.  We are currently operating out of the premises of Mr. Diehl the officer and director of our Company, on a rent-free basis for administrative purposes.  There is no written agreement or other material terms or arrangements relating to said arrangement.

We do not currently have any conflicts of interest by or among our current officer, director, key employee or advisors.  We have not yet formulated a policy for handling conflicts of interest, however, we intend to do so upon completion of this offering and, in any event, prior to hiring any additional employees. We do not presently have any independent directors.  We consider independent directors to be individuals who are not employed by the Company in any capacity and who do not have any equity ownership interest in the Company.  Our Board of Directors is comprised of our President, Matt Diehl.  We intend to seek independent directors for our board of directors when the Company begins generating revenues and we are able to provide compensation for our board of director members.

At the date of incorporation, a stock subscription was received for 10,000,000 shares of our $0.001common stock, at par for $10,000, which was received as of June 30, 2010.

Transactions With Related Persons, Promoters and Certain Control Person

To the best of our knowledge there are no transactions involving any director, executive officer, or any security holder who is a beneficial owner or any member of the immediate family of the officers and directors, or any related persons or promoters.





Item 12. Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities

Pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of the corporation, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a law suit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest.  In certain cases, we may advance expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding.  To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in any such proceeding as to which such person is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney’s fees.  With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order.  The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such

indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Swingplane Ventures, Inc.:


I have audited the balance sheets of Swingplane Ventures, Inc. as of June 30, 2010 and the related statement of operations, changes in stockholder’s equity, and cash flows for the year  then ended and for the period June 24, 2010 (date of inception) through June 30, 2010.  These financial statements were the responsibility of the Company’s management.  My responsibility was to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audits.

 

I conducted my audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that I plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements were free of material misstatement.  The Company was not required to have, nor was I engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  My audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that were 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, I express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  I believe that my audit provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.


In my opinion, the financial statements, referred to above, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Swingplane Ventures, Inc. as of June 30, 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended and for the period June 24, 2010 (date of inception) through June 30, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has no revenues from operation, has not emerged from the development stage, and is requiring traditional financing or equity funding to commence its operating plan.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Further information and management’s plans in regard to this uncertainty were also described in Note 2.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements


For the Period from June 24, 2010 (Date of Inception) through June 30, 2010


1.

Background Information.


Swingplane Ventures, Inc. (the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, is a development stage men’s and women's golf fashion manufacturer located in Broomfield, Colorado.  The Company's initial clothing line consists of tailored-fit golf shirts, pants and skirts that younger golfers are demanding from the standpoint of comfort, style and fabric.  The Company plans to stay on the cutting edge of the constantly changing golf apparel market and our goal is to create a quality reputation within the youthful golfing community and golf garment marketplace.


The first designs will take into consideration of the fit, style and fabrics that younger golfers are demanding, including tailored-fit shirts with shorter sleeves and fabrics that are wet and wind resistant, such as microfibers used today in tennis and active wear tops.  Our initial design is a tailored-fit men's golf shirt with shorter sleeves and unique (and colorful) design patterns.  This current design will be marketed under the "Swingplane Ventures" brand.  Because of its fit, fibers, and design, this garment will attract the 12 - 35 year old male golfer market as an alternative to much higher priced brands with similar styling.


2.

Going Concern.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  For the period ended June 30, 2010, the Company has had no operations.  As of June 30, 2010, the Company has not emerged from the development stage.  In view of these matters, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to begin operations and to achieve a level of profitability.  The Company intends on financing its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of public equity securities with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.  The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.


3.

Significant Accounting Policies.


The significant accounting policies followed are:


FASB Codification - In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. This statement establishes the Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles used in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The Codification does not replace or affect guidance issued by the SEC or its staff. As a result of the Codification, the references to authoritative accounting pronouncements included herein in our Form S-1/A now refer to the Codification topic section rather than a specific accounting rule as was past practice.


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


Cash and cash equivalents - All cash, other than held in escrow, is maintained with a major financial institution in the United States. Deposits with this bank may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.


Research and development expenses - Expenditures for research, development, and engineering of products are expensed as incurred.




F-7


Link to Table of Contents


Common stock - The Company records common stock issuances when all of the legal requirements for the issuance of such common stock have been satisfied.


Revenue and cost recognition – The Company has no current source of revenue; therefore the Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding the recognition of revenue or cost.


Advertising Costs - The Company’s policy regarding advertising is to expense advertising when incurred.



Income Taxes - Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes resulting from temporary differences. Such temporary differences result from differences in the carrying value of assets and liabilities for tax and financial reporting purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.


The Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10 “Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (ASC 740-10), on January 1, 2007. The Company has not recognized a liability as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits has not been provided since there is no unrecognized benefit since the date of adoption. The Company has not recognized interest expense or penalties as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10.  If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.


Earnings (Loss) Per Share - Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares may consist of incremental shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and the conversion of notes payable to common stock. In periods in which a net loss has been incurred, all potentially dilutive common shares are considered anti*dilutive and thus are excluded from the calculation. At June 30, 2010, the Company did not have any potentially dilutive common shares.


Financial instruments – In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) introduced a framework for measuring fair value and expanded required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities.  The Company adopted the standard for those financial assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the 2008 fiscal year and the impact of adoption was not significant. FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820) defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:


·

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.


·

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.


·

Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.


Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2010. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due



F-8


Link to Table of Contents


to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued compensation and accrued expenses. The fair value of the Company’s notes payable is estimated based on current rates that would be available for debt of similar terms which is not significantly different from its stated value.


On June 24, 2010, the Company applied ASC 820 for all non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The adoption of ASC 820 for non-financial assets and liabilities did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.


Subsequent events  - Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date of the audit report, which were available to be issued.



Recent accounting pronouncements


At inception the Company adopted ASC 470, Debt with Conversion and Other Options – Cash Conversion (“ASC 470”) (formerly referenced as FASB Staff Position APB No. 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)), which requires issuers of convertible debt that may be settled wholly or partly in cash when converted to account for the debt and equity components separately. Where applicable, ASC 470 must be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The adoption of ASC 470 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board or FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-05, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“Topic 820”) - Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value an Update 2009-05. Update 2009-05 amends subtopic 820-10, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures- Overall" and provides clarification for the fair value measurement of liabilities in circumstances where quoted prices for an identical liability in an active market are not available. The amendments also provide clarification for not requiring the reporting entity to include separate inputs or adjustments to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of a liability when estimating the fair value of a liability. Additionally, these amendments clarify that both the quoted price in an active market for an identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for an identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are considered Level 1 fair value measurements. These requirements are effective for financial statements issued after the release of Update 2009-05. The Company adopted the requirements on June 24, 2010 and it did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or related disclosures.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its EITF), the AICPA, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.


4.

Income Taxes.


There is no current or deferred income tax expense or benefit for the period ended June 30, 2010.


The provision for income taxes is different from that which would be obtained by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before income taxes. The items causing this difference are as follows:


  

 

June 24, 2010

(Date of Inception) through

June 30, 2010

 

Tax benefit at U.S. statutory rate

 

$

-

 

State income tax benefit, net of federal benefit

Swingplane Ventures, Inc.

 (A Development Stage Corporation)

 

Notes to Financial Statements


For the Period from June 24, 2010 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2010


1.

Background Information.


Swingplane Ventures, Inc. (the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, is a development stage men’s and women's golf fashion manufacturer located in Broomfield, Colorado.  The Company's initial clothing line consists of tailored-fit golf shirts, pants and skirts that younger golfers are demanding from the standpoint of comfort, style and fabric.  The Company plans to stay on the cutting edge of the constantly changing golf apparel market and our goal is to create a quality reputation within the youthful golfing community and golf garment marketplace.


The first designs will take into consideration of the fit, style and fabrics that younger golfers are demanding, including tailored-fit shirts with shorter sleeves and fabrics that are wet and wind resistant, such as microfibers used today in tennis and active wear tops.  Our initial design is a tailored-fit men's golf shirt with shorter sleeves and unique (and colorful) design patterns.  This current design will be marketed under the "Swingplane Ventures" brand.  Because of its fit, fibers, and design, this garment will attract the 12 - 35 year old male golfer market as an alternative to much higher priced brands with similar styling.



2.

Going Concern.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  For the period ended December 31, 2010, the Company has had no operations.  As of December 31, 2010, the Company has not emerged from the development stage.  In view of these matters, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to begin operations and to achieve a level of profitability.  The Company intends on financing its future development activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of public equity securities with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.  The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.


3.

Significant Accounting Policies.


The significant accounting policies followed are:


Financial Statement Presentation -  In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2010, (b) the financial position at December 31, 2010 and (c) cash flows for the six month period ended December 31, 2010, have been made.  

 

The unaudited financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. The accompanying financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form S-1/A for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.  The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the entire year.  



FASB Codification - In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. This statement establishes the Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles used in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The Codification does not replace or affect guidance issued by the SEC or its staff. As a result of the Codification, the references to authoritative accounting pronouncements included herein in our Form S-1/A now refer to the Codification topic section rather than a specific accounting rule as was past practice.


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


Cash and cash equivalents - All cash, other than held in escrow, is maintained with a major financial institution in the United States. Deposits with this bank may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.


Research and development expenses - Expenditures for research, development, and engineering of products are expensed as incurred.


Common stock - The Company records common stock issuances when all of the legal requirements for the issuance of such common stock have been satisfied.


Revenue and cost recognition – The Company has no current source of revenue; therefore the Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding the recognition of revenue or cost.


Advertising Costs - The Company’s policy regarding advertising is to expense advertising when incurred.


Income Taxes - Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes resulting from temporary differences. Such temporary differences result from differences in the carrying value of assets and liabilities for tax and financial reporting purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.


The Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10 “Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (ASC 740-10), on January 1, 2007. The Company has not recognized a liability as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits has not been provided since there is no unrecognized benefit since the date of adoption. The Company has not recognized interest expense or penalties as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10.  If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.


Earnings (Loss) Per Share - Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares may consist of incremental shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and the conversion of notes payable to common stock. In periods in which a net loss has been incurred, all potentially dilutive common shares are considered anti*dilutive and thus are excluded from the calculation. At September 30, 2010, the Company did not have any potentially dilutive common shares.


Financial instruments – In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) introduced a framework for measuring fair value and expanded required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities.  The Company adopted the standard for those financial assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the 2008 fiscal year and the impact of adoption was not significant. FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820) defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:



·

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.


·

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.


·

Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.


Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2010. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued compensation and accrued expenses. The fair value of the Company’s notes payable is estimated based on current rates that would be available for debt of similar terms which is not significantly different from its stated value.


On June 24, 2010, the Company applied ASC 820 for all non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The adoption of ASC 820 for non-financial assets and liabilities did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.


Subsequent events - Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date of filing.


Recent accounting pronouncements


In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance for revenue recognition with multiple deliverables.  This new guidance impacts the determination of when the individual deliverables, included in a multiple-element arrangement may be treated as separate units of accounting.  Additionally, it modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables by no longer permitting the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration.  This new guidance is effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, however early adoption is permitted.  The adoption of this guidance will not have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued new guidance which improves disclosures about fair value measurements.  The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for certain disclosures regarding Level 3 measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.  The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial statements and does not expect this new guidance to have a material effect on the financial statements.


In February 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance to address certain implementation issues related to an entity’s requirements to perform and disclose subsequent events.  This update requires SEC filers to evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and exempts SEC filers from disclosing the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated.  The updated guidance was effective upon issuance, and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.


Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by FASB (including EITF), the AICPA and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.


1.

Income Taxes.


There are no current or deferred income tax expense or benefit for the six months ended December 31, 2010.

Related Party Transactions


On June 24, 2010, the Company sold 10,000,000 shares of its $0.001 common stock to an officer of the Company for a $10,000.

 

The officers and directors of the Company are involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become   involved in other business opportunities that become available. They may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and other business interests. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.


The Company does not own or lease property or lease office space. The office space used by the Company was arranged by the founder of the Company to use at no charge.


The above amount is not necessarily indicative of the amount that would have been incurred had a comparable transaction been entered into with independent parties.

Item 17. Undertakings.

(a) Rule 415 Offering.  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to:

(1)

File, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i)

Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii)

Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement; notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than a twenty percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii)

Include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(2)

For determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.

(2)

File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b)

Request for Acceleration of Effective Date.  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act  may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant according the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the undersigned registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel that the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(4)

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:


(i)

Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
