This annual report contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled “Risk Factors”, that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
 
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
 
Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
 
In this annual report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars and all references to “common shares” refer to the common shares in our capital stock.
 
As used in this current report and unless otherwise indicated, the terms "we", "us" and "our" mean Leeward Group Holdings Inc. and our subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated.
 
General Overview
 
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 27, 2006.  We have been a development stage company. Through our wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, Principle Security International Incorporated, we were working towards the establishment of a customer service oriented security firm specializing in uniformed guard services, private investigations and a training facility for security personnel. We have not yet generated or realized any revenues from our business operations.
 
Since inception, we had been implementing the early phases of our business plans, including the establishment of our office, making application for our security business license, making application and scouting locations for our accredited security training facility, making application for our surety bond, registering the URL address necessary to create our website, building a database of potential clients, commencing interviews to hire a salesperson, designing our corporate logos/badges and ordering uniforms.  On December 15, 2006, we obtained our surety bond in the amount of as required by the Private Investigators and Security Agencies Act. This bond enabled us to make application for a security business license. On January 3, 2007, we were granted our security business license.  On September 8, 2008, we received a two-year approval to operate a security training school under the name “Principle Security Training Academy”.
 
However, we have not been able to achieve commercially viable operations for our proposed security company business and as a result had been investigating further opportunities to maintain and enhance shareholder value.
 
On May 28, 2010, we entered into a share exchange agreement with Leeward Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and the shareholders of Leeward Group, Inc. The closing of the transactions contemplated in the share exchange agreement and the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of Leeward Group, Inc. also occurred on May 28, 2010.  In accordance with the closing of the share exchange agreement, we issued 65,000,000 shares of our common stock to the former shareholders of Leeward Group, Inc. in exchange for the acquisition, by our company, of all of the 12,105,802 issued and outstanding shares of Leeward Group, Inc.

Our Current Business
 
As of the closing date of the share exchange agreement on May 28, 2010 we commenced the business of a diversified retail insurance agency and risk consulting group.  We sell property, casualty, life and health insurance products to customers; we create and administer insurance programs and risk management services including reinsurance brokerage.  We act as a broker or agent.  We do not assume any underwriting risks.  We provide our customers with insurance contracts underwritten by insurance companies that assume the underwriting risks.  We are headquartered in Pennington, New Jersey.
 
Our insurance agency and program business provides a broad range of insurance products and services to commercial, professional and individual customers. We have multiple locations in the northeast to provide sales and servicing for our customers. The categories of insurance we principally sell include: property insurance relating to physical damage to property; casualty insurance relating to legal liabilities, workers’ compensation, commercial and private passenger automobile coverages; and fidelity and surety bonds. In addition, we sell and service group and individual life, accident, disability, health, hospitalization, medical and dental insurance.
 
Our program business markets specialty products and services to associations, industries and businesses.  We have three insurance programs: 1) hotel umbrella insurance for franchise hotels; 2) personal umbrella for lawyers; and 3) mobile phone insurance program for telecommunications companies.
 
Our Franchise Hotel Umbrella program provides umbrella insurance policies for limited service franchise hotels and motels and offers limits of $5 Million, $10 Million and $15 Million.
 
Our Personal Umbrella Product for Lawyers provides  personal umbrella insurance for lawyers with limits to $10 Million.
 
Our Cellphone Program provides coverage for loss, theft or accidental damage to a cellphone. It is distributed to consumers through rural telecommunications companies nationwide.
 
We are compensated for our services primarily by the commissions received from the sale of insurance contracts to our clients.  The commissions are usually a percentage of the insurance premiums paid by the insured.  Commission rates generally vary with the type of insurance sold and the insurance company that underwrites the insurance policy.  We may also receive a “profit sharing contingent commission” from an insurance company which is primarily based on the underwriting results, growth, overall volume and/or retention.  The amount of revenue from commissions and fees fluctuates based on factors such as insurance premiums, retention rates of existing customers, growth rates of new customers, and the type of insurance.
 
Competition
 
Competition in the insurance intermediary sector is based on quality of service, price of insurance premiums, policy coverage and innovation.   Overall the insurance intermediary industry is a highly competitive industry with multiple distribution channels.  There are numerous firms providing insurance intermediary services: brokers, financial institutions, independent insurance agents, and insurance companies through direct sales, internet sales and captive insurance agents.  A number of large regionally based insurance intermediaries with substantially greater resources and market presence compete with us in the northeast United States and elsewhere.
 
In 2009, the US Insurance Industry had net premiums written of $934 billion with approximately, 45% in Property and Casualty insurance premiums written and 55%  in Life and Health insurance premiums.  There were 2,737 Property and Casualty insurance companies and 1,106  Life and Health insurance companies in the United States.  There are 2.2 million people employed in the insurance industry with 886,700 employed in the insurance intermediary sector. It is estimated, Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America in their 2008 Agency University Study released in 2009 that there are approximately 37,500 independent insurance agencies in the United States.  Of that it is estimated that 17% of the independent insurance agencies (6,375) had commission revenue less than $150,000; 54% of the agencies (20,250) had commission revenues between $150,000 and $1.25 million.   It is further estimated that 13% of the agencies (4,875) had revenues between $1.25 million and $2.5 million; and 14% of the agencies (5,250) had revenues between $2.5 million and $10 million.

The distribution of insurance distribution channels are segmented as follows: direct sales- insurance company sales to customers; captive insurance agency- agencies owned by or franchised by insurance companies that market the insurance company’s products and services; and the independent insurance agency- agencies that are independently owned that market multiple products for multiple insurance companies, and Internet.
 
Distribution
 
Our products are distributed through our retail agencies and insurance producers; and our insurance programs are distributed on a wholesale basis through non-affiliated insurance agencies and associations.
 
We market our products through referrals, signage, electronic marketing through the internet, lead and appointment setting services.  Our internet capabilities allow us to provide an insurance indication for a potential customer in minutes.
 
We are licensed individually or corporately in 50 states with offices in New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
 
Governmental Regulations
 
The insurance industry is a state-regulated industry.  Insurance laws are enacted, amended and adjudicated on a state level.  Given our business is concentrated in a few states, we have a greater risk exposure to unfavorable changes in the regulatory environment, laws, judicial decisions, adverse economic conditions, natural or other disasters in those states than more geographically diversified insurance intermediaries.
 
We are licensed individually or corporately in 50 states with offices in New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Massachusetts.  We and/or designated employees must be licensed to act as agents or brokers by state regulatory authorities in states in which we conduct business.  Regulations and are often complex and vary by state.  All applicable laws and regulations are subject to interpretation, change and/or amendment by the individual state regulatory and/or legislative governing bodies.  Such regulatory authorities have broad discretion as to granting, renewing and revoking licenses; issuing fines and/or penalties.  The possibility exists that we and/or our employees could be excluded or temporarily suspended from conducting insurance intermediary services and/or all of our activities by a particular state.
 
Research and Development
 
We have incurred $Nil in research and development expenditures over the last two fiscal years.
 
Employees
 
As of December 31, 2010 we had 13 full time equivalent employees employed in our subsidiaries.  None of our employees are represented by a labor union, and we consider our relations with our employees to be satisfactory.
 
Customers
 
For the year ended December 31, 2010, approximately 21.4%, of our total revenues were derived from insurance policies underwritten by four separate insurance companies. If one or more of these insurance companies were to seek to terminate their contract with us, we believe that other insurance companies are available to underwrite the business, although some additional expense and loss of market share could possibly result. No other insurance company accounts for 5% or more of our total revenues.   No material part of our insurance agency and program business is attributable to a single customer.  During 2010, commissions and fees from our largest single customer represented one percent of the total commissions and fees revenue.

Subsidiaries
 
As of the date of this Annual Report, we had three subsidiaries, Leeward Group, Inc., Sangamon Associates, Inc. and Flagship Insurance Agency, Inc.
 
Intellectual Property
 
We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patent or trademark.
 
Item 1A.                      Risk Factors
 
Our business operations are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to those set forth below:
 
Risks Related to our Business
 
Volatility or declines in premiums or other adverse trends in the insurance industry may seriously undermine our company’s profitability.
 
Our company derives much of its revenue from commissions and fees for its brokerage services. Our company does not determine the insurance premiums on which its commissions are generally based. Moreover, insurance premiums are cyclical in nature and may vary widely based on market conditions. Because of these market cycles for insurance product pricing, which we cannot predict or control, its brokerage revenues and profitability can be volatile or remain depressed for significant periods of time.
 
As traditional risk-bearing insurance companies continue to outsource the production of premium revenue to non-affiliated brokers or agents such as our company, those insurance companies may seek to reduce further their expenses by reducing the commission rates payable to insurance agents or brokers. The reduction of these commission rates, along with general volatility and/or declines in premiums, may significantly affect our company’s profitability. Because we do not determine the timing or extent of premium pricing changes, our company cannot accurately forecast its commission revenues, including whether they will significantly decline. As a result, our budgets for future acquisitions, capital expenditures, dividend payments, loan repayments and other expenditures may have to be adjusted to account for unexpected changes in revenues, and any decreases in premium rates may adversely affect the results of its operations.
 
In addition, there have been and may continue to be various trends in the insurance industry toward alternative insurance markets including, among other things, greater levels of self-insurance, captives, rent-a-captives, risk retention groups and non-insurance capital markets-based solutions to traditional insurance. While our company historically has been able to participate in certain of these activities on behalf of its customers and obtain fee revenue for such services, there can be no assurance that our company will realize revenues and profitability as favorable as those realized from its traditional brokerage activities.
 
Our company faces significant competitive pressures in each of its businesses.
 
The insurance brokerage and service business is highly competitive and there are many insurance brokerage and service organizations as well as individuals on a global basis who actively compete with our company in one or more areas of its business. Our company competes with many firms that are significantly larger than our company, in terms of revenues, in the brokerage markets. In addition, there are various other competing firms that operate nationally or that are strong in a particular region or locality and may have, in that region or locality, an office that is as large as or larger than, in terms of revenues, the particular local office of our company. We believe that the primary factors determining its competitive position with other organizations in its industry are the quality of the services rendered and the overall costs to its clients. Losing business to competitors offering similar products at lower prices or having other competitive advantages would adversely affect our business.
 
 
 
 
6

 
 
In addition, the increase in competition due to new legislative or industry developments could adversely affect our company. These developments include:
 
·  
An increase in capital-raising by insurance underwriting companies, which could result in new capital in the industry, which in turn may lead to lower insurance premiums and commissions;
 
·  
The selling of insurance by insurance companies directly to insureds without the involvement of a broker or other intermediary;
 
·  
Changes in our business compensation model as a result of regulatory developments;
 
·  
The establishment of programs by Federal and state governments to provide health insurance or, in certain cases, property insurance in catastrophe-prone areas or other alternative market types of coverage, which compete with, or completely replace, insurance products offered by insurance carriers; and
 
·  
An increase in competition from new market participants such as banks, accounting firms and consulting firms offering risk management or insurance brokerage services.
 
New competition as a result of these or other competitive or industry developments could cause the demand for our products and services to change, which could in turn adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
 
The current disruption in the global credit markets and instability of financial systems, and a continuation or worsening of the current economic recession, may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
 
The current disruption in the global credit markets, the repricing of credit risk and the deterioration of the financial and real estate markets have created increasingly difficult conditions for financial institutions and certain insurance companies. These conditions include significant losses, greater volatility, significantly less liquidity, widening of credit spreads and a lack of price transparency in certain markets. These conditions have resulted in the failure of a number of financial institutions and unprecedented action by governmental authorities and central banks around the world, including investing in or lending money to financial institutions and insurance companies that are perceived to need additional capital. It is difficult to predict how long these conditions will persist and the extent to which we market, products and business will be adversely affected.
 
These unprecedented disruptions in the credit and financial markets and the resulting impact on a number of financial institutions have limited access to capital and credit for many companies. The failure of a lender could adversely affect its ability to borrow on that facility, which over time could negatively impact our ability to consummate significant acquisitions or make other significant capital expenditures. Continued adverse conditions in the credit markets in future years could adversely affect the availability and terms of future borrowings, renewals or refinancings.
 
The disruptions in the credit and financial markets also led to a general deterioration in the economy, which could adversely impact our company in future years as a result of reductions in the overall amount of insurance coverage that its clients purchase due to reductions in their headcount, payroll, properties, and the market values of assets, among other factors. Such reductions could also adversely impact our commission revenues when exposure audits by the carriers are performed and if subsequent downward premium adjustments are determined. The income effects of subsequent premium adjustments are recorded when the adjustments become known, and, as a result, any improvement in our company’s results of operations and financial condition may lag an improvement in the economy. In addition, some of our clients may cease operations completely in the event of a prolonged deterioration in the economy, which would have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Our company also has a significant amount of trade accounts receivable from some of the insurance companies with which it places insurance. If those insurance companies experience liquidity problems or other financial difficulties, we could encounter delays or defaults in payments owed to our company, which could have a significant adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if a significant insurer fails or withdraws from writing certain insurance coverages that we offer our clients, overall capacity in the industry could be negatively affected, which could reduce our placement of certain lines and types of insurance and, as a result, reduce its revenues and profitability. The failure of an insurer with whom our company places business could also result in errors and omissions claims by our clients, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Our company has historically engaged in a number of acquisitions of insurance brokers and agencies. We may not be able to continue to implement such an acquisition strategy in the future and there are risks associated with such acquisitions.
 
In the past several years, we have completed numerous acquisitions of insurance brokers and agencies and may continue to make such acquisitions in the future. Our company’s acquisition program has been an important part of its historical growth and we believe that similar acquisition activity will be critical to maintaining comparable growth in the future. Failure to successfully identify and complete acquisitions likely will result in our company achieving slower growth. Moreover, even if we are able to identify appropriate acquisition targets, we may not be able to execute acquisition transactions on favorable terms or integrate such targets following acquisition in a manner that allows our company to realize the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions. Additionally, we may incur or assume unanticipated liabilities or contingencies in connection with its acquisitions. If any of these developments occur, our results of operations could be adversely affected.
 
We have incurred net losses since commencing business and expect losses to continue for the foreseeable future.
 
We have had modest revenues to date. We had a net loss of $244,522 for the year ended December 31, 2010 and a net loss of $242,957 for the year ended December 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2010, we had cash of $14,250 and a working capital deficit of $231,146.
 
Our ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt.
 
The ability of our company to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and is dependent on achieving profitable operations and obtaining the necessary financing in order to develop our business. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. Our future operations are dependent on the market’s acceptance of our services in order to ultimately generate future profitable operations, and our ability to secure sufficient financing to fund future expansion or operations. There can be no assurance that our services will be able to secure market acceptance. Management plans to raise additional equity financing to enable our company to complete our development plans. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional financing. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
 
We are subject to specific risks of litigation that are unique to the insurance industry.
 
We are subject to various potential claims relating principally to alleged errors and omissions in connection with the placement or servicing of insurance in the ordinary course of business. Because we often assist clients with matters involving substantial amounts of money, including the placement of insurance, clients may assert errors and omissions claims against us alleging potential liability for all or part of the amounts in question. Claimants may seek large damage awards, and these claims may involve potentially significant legal costs. While most of the errors and omissions claims made against us would be covered by our professional indemnity insurance, our business results of operations, financial condition and liquidity may be adversely affected if, in the future, our insurance coverage proves to be inadequate or unavailable. Our ability to obtain professional indemnity insurance in the amounts and with the deductibles we desire in the future may be adversely impacted by general developments in the market for such insurance or our own claims experience. In addition, claims, lawsuits and other proceedings may harm our reputation or divert management resources away from operating our business.
 
 
 
8

 
 
We have limited financial and management resources to pursue our growth strategy.
 
Our growth strategy may place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources. We have negative cash flow from operations and continue to seek additional capital. We will have to obtain additional capital either through debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to obtain such financing on terms acceptable to our company.
 
If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible securities, these new securities may contain certain rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our common shares. Additionally, the percentage of ownership of our company held by existing shareholders will be reduced.
 
We are dependent upon our officers for management and direction, and the loss of any of these persons could adversely affect our operations and results.
 
We are dependent upon our officers for execution of our business plan. The loss of any of our officers could have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations and financial position. We do not maintain “key person” life insurance for any of our officers. The loss of any of our officers could delay or prevent the achievement of our business objectives
 
Risks Associated with Our Common Stock
 
Trading on the OTC Bulletin Board may be volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common stock and make it difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares.
 
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board service of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Trading in stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like NASDAQ or a stock exchange like Amex. Accordingly, shareholders may have difficulty reselling any of their shares.
 
Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC’s penny stock regulations and FINRA’s sales practice requirements, which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
 
Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these 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 agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in, and limit the marketability of, our common stock.
 
 
 
9

 
 
In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ’ requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.
 
Other Risks
 
Trends, Risks and Uncertainties
 
We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
The report of our auditors on our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, contains a going concern qualification as we have suffered losses since our inception.  We have minimal assets and have achieved no operative revenues since our inception.  We have depended on loans and sales of equity securities to conduct operations.  Unless and until we commence material operations and achieve material revenues, we will remain dependent on financings to continue our operations.  We will be required to raise additional capital over the next twelve months to meet our ongoing expenses.
 
Plan of Operation and Cash Requirements
 
We have made insurance agency asset acquisitions each year, since beginning operations in 2007.  We intend to continue to acquire insurance agency assets.  We had an independent, certified appraisal performed on company assets acquired as of March 31, 2009.  This appraisal valued our acquired insurance agency assets based on customer base and cash flow.  As of March 31, 2009 our assets acquired to date were valued at over $1,800,000.  We estimate that 26,000 independent insurance agencies can be categorized as having less than 1.25 million in annual commission revenue.  Our target acquisition has less than $1.25 million in commission revenue.  The company’s plan of action over the next twelve months is to continue its operations to market and sell insurance products and raise additional capital financing, if necessary, to acquire agency assets and grow operations.
 
Acquisitions will be based on our ability to internally finance from cash flow, raise equity and/or debt to acquire the assets.  The disruption in the credit and financial markets had made the availability of equity and/or debt uncertain.
 
Over the next 12 months we anticipate that we will incur the following operating expenses:

General, Administrative and Corporate Expenses
$525,000
Depreciation and amortization
$139,545
Salaries, and wages
$650,000
Professional fees
$60,000
Total
$1,374,545
 
Our estimated negative cash flow from operations is estimated to be approximately $90,000 and our cash position as at December 31, 2010 is $14,250.   We will need additional funds to meet our working capital requirements over the twelve month period.  We anticipate that we will have to raise additional funds through private placements of our equity securities and/or debt financing to complete our business plan. There is no assurance that the financing will be completed as planned or at all.  We have not yet been successful raising the funding necessary to proceed with our business plan.  If we are unable to secure adequate capital to continue our planned operations, our shareholders may lose some or all of their investment and our business may fail.

Net cash used by operating activities was $119,186 during the year ended December 31, 2010 compared with net cash used in operating activities of $89,272 during the year ended December 31, 2009.  The increase in use of cash of $29,914 in operating activities is mainly attributable to a decrease in premiums in trust and an increase in commissions receivable offset by an increase in accounts payable.
 
Investing Activities
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $Nil in during the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $20,000 during the year ended December 31, 2009.  The decrease was due to the fact that we did not make any acquisitions in 2010.

Financing Activities
 
Net cash used in financing activities was $127,611 during the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to $64,995 provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2009.  This decrease is due to our paying down its liabilities.
 
Contractual Obligations
 
As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations.
 
Going Concern
 
As of December 31, 2010, we had accumulated losses of $760,169 since inception, has a working capital deficiency of $231,146.  We intend to fund operations through equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the year ending December 31, 2011.  The ability of our company to emerge from the development stage is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations, and development of its business plan.  In response to these problems, management intends to raise additional funds through public or private placement offerings.  These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses.  These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies.  We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financial statements.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our company and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Leeward Group, Inc., and  its wholly owned subsidiary Sangamon Associates, Inc along with its wholly-owned subsidiary Flagship Insurance Agency, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Our company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with major financial institutions in the US. Deposits held with these banks at times exceed $250,000 of insurance provided on such deposits. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, no excess existed.
 
As of December 31, 2010 and 2009 the company had $14,250 and $183,361 of cash and cash equivalents, respectively.
 
 
 
15

 
 
 
Fixed Assets
 
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from 3 to 7 years for furniture, fixtures, machinery and equipment.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the term of the lease or the economic life of the asset.
 
Long-lived Assets
 
Our company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, our company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
On January 1, 2008, our company adopted ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:
 
·  
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
 
·  
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
 
·  
Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.
 
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for the cash and cash equivalents, receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The carrying value of notes payable approximates fair value because negotiated terms and conditions are consistent with current market rates as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The company recognizes revenue according to ASC 740, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.  These criteria are typically met when a policy is signed.  When policies are signed, the company enters the sales into its policy management and tracking system which is when revenue is recognized.  Returns are booked as contra-revenue and are generally less than 1% of all sales and thus no reserve or estimate of returns is recorded.  Cash for sales is either collected up-front in the form of a non-refundable deposit which is greater than the commission portion due to the company.  The remaining sales are remitted on a monthly basis from the insurance providers.  No allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded as all remittances are made from the insurance providers directly; revenue is not recognized on cancelled policies.
 
Income Taxes
 
Our company applies ASC 740, which requires the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. The asset and liability method requires that the current or deferred tax consequences of all events
 
 
 
 
16

 
 
recognized in thefinancial statements are measured by applying the provisions of enacted tax laws to determine the amount of taxes payable or refundable currently or in future years. Deferred tax assets are reviewed for recoverability and the company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be recovered.
 
Our company adopted ASC 740, at the beginning of fiscal year 2008. This interpretation requires recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach, requiring the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. The adoption of ASC 740 had no material impact on our company’s financial statements.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
Our company records stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123R “Share Based Payments”, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary. This amendment to Topic 810 clarifies, but does not change, the scope of current US GAAP. It clarifies the decrease in ownership provisions of Subtopic 810-10 and removes the potential conflict between guidance in that Subtopic and asset derecognition and gain or loss recognition guidance that may exist in other US GAAP. An entity will be required to follow the amended guidance beginning in the period that it first adopts FAS 160 (now included in Subtopic 810-10). For those entities that have already adopted FAS 160, the amendments are effective at the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to the first period that an entity adopted FAS 160.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-01, Equity (Topic 505): Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash (A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). This amendment to Topic 505 clarifies the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a limit on the amount of cash that will be distributed is not a stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260. Effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and would be applied on a retrospective basis.
 
In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-17, Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities. This Accounting Standards Update amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for Statement 167.
 
In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-16, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets. This Accounting Standards Update amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for Statement 166.
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-15, Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing.  This Accounting Standards Update amends the FASB Accounting Standard Codification for EITF 09-1.
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-14, Software (Topic 985): Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements. This update changed the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. Effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted.
 
 
 
17

 
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. This update addressed the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than a combined unit and will be separated in more circumstances that under existing US GAAP. This amendment has eliminated that residual method of allocation. Effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted.
 
In September 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). This update provides amendments to Topic 820 for the fair value measurement of investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share (or its equivalent). It is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. Early application is permitted in financial statements for earlier interim and annual periods that have not been issued.
 
In July 2009, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by EITF (Emerging Issues Task Force) issued EITF No. 09-1, (ASC Topic 470) "Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance" ("EITF 09-1"). The provisions of EITF 09-1, clarifies the accounting treatment and disclosure of share-lending arrangements that are classified as equity in the financial statements of the share lender. An example of a share-lending  arrangement is an agreement between the Company (share lender) and an investment bank (share borrower) which allows the investment bank to use the loaned shares to enter into equity derivative contracts with investors. EITF 09-1 is effective for fiscal years that beginning on or after December 15, 2009 and requires retrospective application for all arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009. Share-lending arrangements that have been terminated as a result of counterparty default prior to December 15, 2009, but for which the entity has not reached a final settlement as of December 15, 2009 are within the scope. Effective for share-lending arrangements entered into on or after the beginning of the first reporting period that begins on or after June 15, 2009.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors
Leeward Group Holdings, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Leeward Group Holdings, Inc., as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Leeward Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company had losses from operations of $244,522, an accumulated deficit of $760,169, and working capital deficit of $229,597, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

LEEWARD GROUP HOLDINGS, INC.
(FKA Principle Security International, Inc.)
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2010 and 2009
 
 
 
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Leeward Group Holdings, Inc, (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on November 27, 2006.  The Company through its subsidiaries operates as a general insurance agency that markets and sells insurance products, including property and casualty insurance products as well as life, health and group health insurance products.  The Company has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Leeward Group, Inc. which it acquired through a share exchange entered into on May 28, 2010.  Leeward Group, Inc. has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Sangamon Associates, Inc., which it acquired through a share exchange entered into on October 30, 2008.  Sangamon Associates, Inc has its own wholly-owned subsidiary, Flagship Insurance Agency, Inc. the assets of which it acquired on August 1, 2007.  The financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis.

 
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 
Basis of Presentation
These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31.

 
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sangamon Associates, Inc along with its wholly-owned subsidiary Flagship Insurance Agency, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with major financial institutions in the US. Deposits held with these banks at times exceed $250,000 of insurance provided on such deposits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, no excess existed. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009 the Company had $14,250 and $183,361 of cash and cash equivalents, respectively.

 
Fixed Assets
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from 3 to 7 years for furniture, fixtures, machinery and equipment.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the term of the lease or the economic life of the asset.

December 31, 2010 and 2009

Advertising Costs
 
The Company’s policy regarding advertising is to expense advertising when incurred. The Company incurred $4,274 and $-0- in advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Long-lived Assets
The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:

§  
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
§  
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
§  
Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for the cash and cash equivalents, receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The carrying value of notes payable approximates fair value because negotiated terms and conditions are consistent with current market rates as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue according to ASC 740, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.  These criteria are typically met when a policy is signed.  When policies are signed, the Company enters the sales into its policy management and tracking system which is when revenue is recognized.  Returns are booked as contra-revenue and are generally less than 1% of all sales and thus no reserve or estimate of returns is recorded.  Cash for sales is either collected up-front in the form of a non-refundable deposit which is greater than the commission portion due to the Company.  The remaining sales are remitted on a monthly basis from the insurance providers.  No allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded as all remittances are made from the insurance providers directly, revenue is not recognized on cancelled policies, and the historical collection rate has effectively been 100%.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Income Taxes
The Company applies ASC 740, which requires the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.  The asset and liability method requires that the current or deferred tax consequences of all events recognized in the financial statements are measured by applying the provisions of enacted tax laws to determine the amount of taxes payable or refundable currently or in future years. Deferred tax assets are reviewed for recoverability and the Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be recovered.

The Company adopted ASC 740, at the beginning of fiscal year 2008. This interpretation requires recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach, requiring the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. The adoption of ASC 740 had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary. This amendment to Topic 810 clarifies, but does not change, the scope of current US GAAP. It clarifies the decrease in ownership provisions of Subtopic 810-10 and removes the potential conflict between guidance in that Subtopic and asset derecognition and gain or loss recognition guidance that may exist in other US GAAP. An entity will be required to follow the amended guidance beginning in the period that it first adopts FAS 160 (now included in Subtopic 810-10). For those entities that have already adopted FAS 160, the amendments are effective at the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2009. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to the first period that an entity adopted FAS 160.

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-01, Equity (Topic 505): Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash (A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). This amendment to Topic 505 clarifies the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a limit on the amount of cash that will be distributed is not a stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260. Effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and would be applied on a retrospective basis.

In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-17, Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities. This Accounting Standards Update amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for Statement 167.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-16, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets. This Accounting Standards Update amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for Statement 166.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-15, Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance or Other Financing.  This Accounting Standards Update amends the FASB Accounting Standard Codification for EITF 09-1.

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-14, Software (Topic 985): Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements. This update changed the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. Effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. This update addressed the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately rather than a combined unit and will be separated in more circumstances that under existing US GAAP. This amendment has eliminated that residual method of allocation. Effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted.

In September 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent). This update provides amendments to Topic 820 for the fair value measurement of investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share (or its equivalent). It is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. Early application is permitted in financial statements for earlier interim and annual periods that have not been issued.

In July 2009, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by EITF (Emerging Issues Task Force) issued EITF No. 09-1, (ASC Topic 470) "Accounting for Own-Share Lending Arrangements in Contemplation of Convertible Debt Issuance" ("EITF 09-1"). The provisions of EITF 09-1, clarifies the accounting treatment and disclosure of share-lending arrangements that are classified as equity in the financial statements of the share lender. An example of a share-lending  arrangement is an agreement between the Company (share lender) and an investment bank (share borrower) which allows the investment bank to use the loaned shares to enter into equity derivative contracts with investors. EITF 09-1 is effective for fiscal years that beginning on or after December 15, 2009 and requires retrospective application for all arrangements outstanding as of the beginning of fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009. Share-lending arrangements that have been terminated as a result of counterparty default prior to December 15, 2009, but for which the entity has not reached a final settlement as of December 15, 2009 are within the scope. Effective for share-lending arrangements entered into on or after the beginning of the first reporting period that begins on or after June 15, 2009.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 4 – RESTRICTED CASH AND PREMIUMS IN TRUST

As normal part of its business, the Company receives customer deposits that are to be remitted to the insurance carriers.  In some cases the customers pay the entire policy upfront or a portion of the policy as a down payment.  These funds are directly billed by the Company then remitted to the insurance carriers are typically held for an average of 30 days before being remitted to the insurance carriers.  However, before remittance, the Company deducts a commission percentage earned, which averages 15% of the collected amounts.  The remaining amounts being remitted are classified as restricted cash with an offset to current liabilities.  The Company records the amount to a liability account called premiums in trust to offset the restricted cash held in the Company’s trust accounts.

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009 the Company had $35,399 and $113,085 in restricted cash and $37,146 and $96,122 in premiums in trust.

NOTE 6 – ACQUISITIONS

Year ended December 31, 2009
On October 30, 2008, Leeward Group, Inc. and Sangamon Associates Inc. (“Sangamon”) entered into a share exchange agreement wherein Sangamon gave to the Company 100% of the 200 shares issued and outstanding in exchange for 10,606,000 of the Company’s common stock.    Due to the fact that both entities are under common control, i.e. the sole shareholders of the Company (Kevin Coughlin, CEO and William Cleave, President) were also the sole shareholders of Sangamon, the Company is required to account for this transaction as a pooling of interest, referenced in ASC 805-10.

The standard refers to APB 16 for detail on how to account for a transaction according to the pooling-of-interest method.  Under that standard the Company accounted for the share exchange agreement by recording assets and liabilities of the separate companies as the recorded assets and liabilities of the combined corporation.  The combined corporation has appropriately recorded the historical-cost based amounts of the assets and liabilities of the separate companies because the existing basis of accounting continues.  The stockholders' equities of the separate companies were also combined as a part of the pooling-of-interests method of accounting. The combined corporation recorded as capital the capital stock and additional paid-in capital of the separate companies. Additionally, retained earnings of the separate companies were combined and recognized as retained earnings of the combined corporation. The amount of outstanding shares of stock of the combined corporation at par exceeded the total amount of capital stock of the combined company. Thus the excess was deducted from the combined additional balance in paid-in capital.

The Company reported results of operations for the period in which the combination occurs as though the companies had been combined as of the beginning of the period. Results of operations for that period thus comprise those of the separate companies combined from the beginning of the period to the date the combination is consummated and those of the combined operations from that date to the end of the period. All effects of intercompany transactions from operations before the date of combination reports operations before and after the date of combination were eliminated.

Finally, balance sheets and other financial information of the separate companies as of the beginning of the period have been presented as though the companies had been combined at that date. Financial statements and financial information of the separate companies presented for prior years have also been restated on a combined basis to furnish comparative information. All restated financial statements and financial summaries indicate clearly that financial data of the previously separate companies are combined.

On December 17, 2009 the Company acquired the book of business (the “Assets”) of Waughtal Insurance Agency (“Waughtal”).  Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to pay Waughtal 1) $20,000 at the date of the sale and 2) $20,000 to be paid in ten equal payments starting on January 25th.  Also pursuant to the agreement, the payments outlined above are contingent upon the minimum commission revenue of the Assets acquired to be in excess of $75,000 for the most recent 12 month period of the payment.  In the event that the book of business is less than 90 percent of the said amount, the payments will be reduced by 0.53 times the difference of current twelve months.

On December 31, 2008, the Company acquired the book of business (the “Assets”) of Brady Rogers, Inc (“Brady Rogers”) located in Warwick, Rhode Island.   Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to pay Brady Rogers, Inc. 1) $125,000 at the date of the sale, 2) $25,000 to be paid on December 31, 2009 or the anniversary date, 3) 25 percent commissions received by the Company from insurance companies for which the business was placed for the next 12 months following the closing, 4) 30 percent commissions received by the Company from insurance companies for which the business was placed for the subsequent 36 months following  the anniversary of the closing, 5) 50 percent of profit contingency income received from the assets acquired during the four year payout period (if any is received), and 6) the Company will purchase and pay two 5-year term life insurance policies with a face amount of $500,000 each.  The Company also assumed three capital leases valued at a total of $13,299.

Impairment of Intangible Assets
Company management reviews the carrying value of all intangible assets on an annual basis or when events transpire that may require impairment.  For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company relied on a third-party valuation of the fair value of the combined assets of Leeward Group, Inc.  This valuation yielded a fair value for Leeward Group, Inc. in excess of $1,800,000 as of March 31, 2009.

The appraisal was based primarily on a discounted future cash flow valuation.  Cash flow is based on recast net income, which is net income less depreciation, amortization and non-recurring charges.  The non-recurring charges consist of loan origination and closing fees along with fees incurred during the acquisitions made during the year.  Management uses a conservative 2-3 percent growth rate when in actuality revenue growth has outpaced this estimate.  The discount rate is equal the incremental borrowing cost to the Company.

Impairment of Intangible Assets
As of December 31, 2010 the Company performed an evaluation of the fair value of the assets held by updating the model used in the evaluation for the results of the Company during the year ended December 31, 2010.  Based on this evaluation, the Company determined that there has been no decrease in the fair value of the assets, and that the carrying value of the Company’s intangible assets do not exceed their fair value.

NOTE 11 – INCOME TAXES

The FASB has issued FASB ASC 740-10 which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements.  This standard requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position.  If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements.  As a result of the implementation of this standard, the Company performed a review of its material tax positions in accordance with recognition and measurement standards established by FASB ASC 740-10.

Item 9.              Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
 
There were no disagreements related to accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, internal controls or auditing scope or procedure during the two fiscal years and interim periods, including the interim period up through the date the relationship ended.
 
Item 9A.             Controls and Procedures
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, are responsible for conducting an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the quarterly period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures means that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to our company, including any consolidating subsidiaries, and was made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared.  Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2010.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
 
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The internal control process has been designed, under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring. Based on this assessment, management has determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 was not effective 2010 due to a lack of adequate segregation duties and no independent audit committe.  
 
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives.  The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of December 31, 2010.
 
Management believes that the material weakness set forth above did not have an effect on our financial results.  
 
Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, transactions and dispositions of assets; and provide reasonable assurances that: (1) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; (2) receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the Company; and (3) unauthorized acquisitions, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material affect on the Company’s financial statements are prevented or timely detected.
 
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparations and presentations. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In connection with the preparation of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2010, management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the design and operation of our internal controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2010. There were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered in this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide on management’s report on this quarterly report.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
 
There were no changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the evaluation date. We have not identified any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls, and therefore there were no corrective actions taken.
 
Item 9B.                      Other Information
 
On July 9, 2010, we approved a change of auditor from James Stafford, Chartered Accountants to Sadler, Gibb & Associates, LLC.  There were no disagreements with James Stafford, Chartered Accountants which were not resolved on any matters concerning accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of James Stafford, Chartered Accountants, would have caused James Stafford, Chartered Accountants to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements.  Complete details to the change of auditor were filed July 9, 2009 on our current report on Form 8-K.

Item 12.                      Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
 
The following table sets forth, as of April 12, 2011, certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common shares by each shareholder known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common shares, as well as by each of our current directors and executive officers as a group. Each person has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock, except as otherwise indicated. Beneficial ownership consists of a direct interest in the shares of common stock, except as otherwise indicated.

(1)  
Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares.  Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares).  In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided.  In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights.  As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on April 12, 2011.  As of April 12, 2011 there were 100,000,000 shares of our company’s common stock issued and outstanding.
 
Changes in Control
 
We are unaware of any contract or other arrangement the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of our company.
 
 
Item 13.                      Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
 
Except as disclosed herein, no director, executive officer, shareholder holding at least 5% of shares of our common stock, or any family member thereof, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or proposed transaction since the year ended December 31, 2010, in which the amount involved in the transaction exceeded or exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at the year end for the last three completed fiscal years.
 
Director Independence
 
We currently act with two (2) directors, consisting of Kevin Coughlin and William Cleave.
 
We have determined that we do not have an independent director, as that term is used in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Rules of National Association of Securities Dealers.
 
Currently our audit committee consists of our entire board of directors. We currently do not have nominating, compensation committees or committees performing similar functions. There has not been any defined policy or procedure requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nomination for directors.
 
Our board of directors has determined that it does have a member of its audit committee who qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K.
 
 
 
44

 
 
From inception to present date, we believe that the members of our audit committee and the board of directors have been and are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.
 
 
Item 14.                      Principal Accounting Fees and Services
 
The aggregate fees billed for the most recently completed fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and for fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows:

Audit Fees
$24,000

$24,000

Our board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.
 
Our board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by our independent auditors and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining our independent auditors’ independence.
