Item 1. Business


Company Overview

We are engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing, and selling pig watering troughs produced specifically for pig farmers in the Philippines and other Asian countries (our "Product"). Such a product will allow pig farmers to effectively and easily distribute a sufficient water supply to their pigs while greatly reducing the amount of water wasted and the spread of disease that can result from other watering troughs presently in use in Asia. We are currently in the process of designing and developing our Product, and we are continually refining this design through experiments, testing the Product’s adaptability and accessibility in relationship to different sizes and ages of pigs. When we are satisfied that our Product will compete effectively in the Pig Farming Industry by being the most practical and efficient pig watering trough, we will begin the manufacture and distribution of the Product to pig farmers in the Philippines.

 

We are a development stage company and have not generated any sales to date. Our product is still in the development stage and is not yet ready for commercial sale. Since our inception, we have been attempting to raise money to complete our Product, but have not been able to secure the funds necessary to do so. The lack of funds and the present economy have prevented that from happening. As we have been unable to raise the capital necessary to develop and market our Product, we have recently been engaged in a search for other business opportunities which may benefit our shareholders and allow us to raise capital and operate. Recent negotiations with what we believe is a more viable business opportunity leads us to believe that we will be revising our business plan and focus over the next quarter. If this opportunity does not develop, however, we will continue to both seek new opportunities and look for capital to develop our Product.

 

Water Waste and Disease at the Watering Trough

Water waste and disease each have short- and long-term negative impacts on pig farmers’ profits. One of the main sources of both of these problems is the watering trough commonly employed by pig farmers. Typical pig watering troughs waste excessive amounts of water and spread disease due to inadequacies inherent in their design. Many common troughs are not easily accessible to all sizes and ages of pigs, leaving some dehydrated and in a condition that can, in turn, make the animal vulnerable to disease. Examples of illnesses that arise in a herd where there is a poor water supply or sows have a restricted water intake are Cystitis, inflammation of the bladder, Pyelonephritis, and inflammation of the kidney. These diseases are often concurrent and are an important cause of mortality in all ages of dry sows. Water waste and uneven distribution, over time, cost pig farmers a significant amount of money.

Water is the nutrient that swine require in largest quantity, but compared to the other nutrients supplied by feed, it is the most frequently misunderstood and mismanaged. Pigs drink more than twice as much as they eat. Without water, no metabolic and physiological processes within the body can occur. Water makes up over 98% of all molecules in the body and is necessary for regulation of body temperature, growth, reproduction, lactation, digestion, lubrication of joints, eyesight, and as a cleansing agent. Limiting water intake can depress animal performance more quickly and drastically than any other nutrient deficiency. At any time, if adequate water is not provided to the pig, feed intake and subsequent growth performance will be reduced, and hearing and sight can be impaired. Insufficient water consumption of a lactating sow will not only limit feed intake but also milk yield, since milk consists of 80% water. Ultimately, the reduction in milk yield will slow growth and development of the suckling pig. Domesticated animals can live about 60 days without food, but only seven days without water.
Water intake varies greatly between pigs, and unrestricted access to clean and fresh water at all times has a significant positive impact on the health of all pigs. One drinking point for every ten pigs and at least two troughs per pen is recommended to help maintain adequate distribution in pig farming. Water requirements are influenced by several factors, including rate of weight gain, pregnancy, lactation, activity, type of diet, feed intake, and environmental temperature. Daily drinking water usage over time can be used as a predictor of swine health. Water supplies are also an important and effective means for administering medication. The table below illustrates the amount of water needed for pigs of variant sizes and conditions. The term "gilt" refers to a young female. Swine are considered growing pigs at 40-125 pounds, finishing pigs at 125 pounds, and market weight usually at about 230 pounds.

3

Water Intake for Various Classes of Swine:

Class of Pig Gallons per Day
25 lb Pig          0.5
60 lb Pig          1.5
100 lb Pig        1.75
200 lb Pig        2.5
Gestating Sows    4.5
Sow Plus Litter    6.0
Nonpregnant Gilts  3.2
Pregnant Gilts     5.5

Many on-farm observations have found that increasing water flow rates will increase the pigs' willingness to drink. Low flow rates mean that they have to spend longer at the drinker, and in these cases the pigs rarely drink their fill. They lose interest or, they are pushed away by other pen mates. Providing the correct flow rate at all times will optimize intake levels and encourage pigs to drink more readily.

The communal watering feature in the design of most troughs also facilitates the spread of disease and requires frequent monitoring and sterilization. The typical trough is designed whereby all of the pigs in a trough’s vicinity drink from the same pool of often stagnant water in that trough. Therefore, the watering trough often acts as an agent to spread diseases through the herd. Stale water can also cause reduced water consumption. Even when clean water is available, animals may continue to consume dirty water if it is available. Dirty water is a host for disease organisms, and disease can spread rapidly if animals drink from the same trough. Disease is a permanent source of anxiety for pig farmers, costing considerable money and detracting from profits in costs associated with diagnosis, treatment, and medication. Pig farmers sustain greater losses from animals too diseased to be treated or sent to slaughter.

Pig Farming Industry in Asia

Asia is home to more than half a billion pigs that provide food security and livelihoods to the majority of its rural population. The demands for and domestic supply of pig meat have been increasing steadily as a result of rising incomes, increasing human population, domestic market liberalization, increasing demand for livestock food products and urbanization. Given the rising income and rapid urbanization that the region has been experiencing during the past decade, consumption patterns have also shifted toward more protein-based diets, specifically animal-source diets. Pig meat has traditionally been the most preferred meat in diets in South East Asia, and recent major outbreaks of Avian Influenza have induced a migration from poultry meat to pig meat. This, plus the relatively high population growth rates in Asia, as compared with the rest of the world, will engender higher demand for pig meat in the coming years. Even in countries not normally associated with pig production, such as India, pig meat consumption is increasing and has traditionally provided a source of meat and livelihoods to many millions of people in tribal communities. Recent trends in demand for quality and food safety are also shaping the way the food supply chain is reorganizing to accommodate these market requirements.

4

Pigs in Asia are often raised on small farms along with other small stock such as poultry and goats and with large stock, like buffalo and cattle, raised by households in mixed crop-livestock systems. Livestock are an important source of cash to meet household consumption needs due to the seasonal nature of crop production. What is considered a "small farm" in Asia varies from one country to another. In Taiwan, a pig farm with 2000 animals is considered a small one, while in the Philippines and Thailand small-scale raisers typically have 10-20 pigs. In Japan, Korea, and Taiwan there has been a trend toward fewer livestock farms with larger numbers of animals to realize economies of scale. In Japan, the average number of animals kept by a farm in 1992 was 25.7 times that of 1970.

 

There are efforts being made in Asia to improve the competitiveness of small-scale pig producers in the context of changing demand for pig meat. Some of the organizations involved in these efforts include the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (“FAO”), the Pro-Poor Livestock Policy Initiative (“PPLPI”), the Australian Center for International Agricultural Research (“ACIAR”), and the Africa-based International Livestock Research Institute (“ILRI”). The endeavors of these groups include, among others, an investigation of viable institutional arrangements that will enable small-scale pig farmers to become active participants in the emerging supply chain for pigs and pig meat that are increasingly driven by consumer preferences for quality (lean meat) and safety (hygienic, chemical free), as well as niche markets for traditional quality attributes that are priced at a premium by high-income, urban consumers, including special export markets, e.g., organically raised, local breed pigs.

 

Chinese Radio International reported in February 2008 that Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao has called for measures to boost pig farming because short supply has led to continued pork price hikes, causing concerns among consumers and the government over a possible spillover effect on inflation. Wen urged local governments to leave no stone unturned in enhancing the enthusiasm of pig breeders, and said it's of great importance to increase pig production, which would help stabilize the pork price and satisfy the meat demand of the public. He called on local governments to deliver the subsidies for breeding female pigs to farmers arranged by the central budget “as soon as possible.” In order to beef up disease control, Wen said immunization against major pig epidemics shall be provided to farmers free of charges, and that subsidies shall be offered to farmers if their pigs have to be slaughtered for disease control. The premier said local administrative chiefs shall be held responsible for pork supply in their areas, and that all unreasonable restrictions on pig farming shall be abolished.

Our Product

The rising demand for pig meat in Asia in conjunction with mounting efforts and economic incentives to enable pig farmers to meet this demand have resulted in what we anticipate will be a highly receptive potential market for our Product. Reliable and effective watering troughs are essential on pig farms of all sizes.

We are in the process of developing a pig watering trough specifically for pig farmers in the Philippines and other Asian countries. Our Product is designed so that as the pig puts its head into the trough(A), the nose of the pig will encounter a lever(B) that will open a switch(C) to allow the water pressure seal(D) to be broken and water to flow into the sink. This allows each pig to drink as much water as needed with minimal waste. Since each pig is drinking individually instead of from a communal and stagnant pool of water, there is also a great reduction in the spread of disease. The device is simple and sturdy, requiring less labor in maintenance and cleaning than other troughs. It is also easy and safe for the animal to use. We are in the process of refining the design for our Product, which will be integral to its success. We are designing and developing our Product by conducting experiments to improve on quality and cost. These experiments include testing the Product’s flow rate and water pressure features, as well as its adaptability and accessibility in relationship to different sizes and ages of pigs. We are searching for the lowest priced components available in the market in our efforts to reduce cost. We are researching the benefits of adding more components to further improve our Product. We are also improving our Product's essential qualities, such as its water-saving value and disease-inhibiting structure. Refining these qualities will ensure that our Product is practicable, affordable, and safe for the animal to use.

Competition

We compete with a number of established manufacturers, importers, and distributors who sell watering troughs to pig farmers in Asia. These companies enjoy brand recognition which exceeds that of our brand name. We compete with several manufacturers, importers, and distributors who have significantly greater financial, distribution, advertising, and marketing resources than we do, including:

 

  • Fisher Alvin: They sell a stainless steel bowl drinker for piglets up to 35kg and claim that it “actively reduces water waste and slurry.” The water pool is to the side of the valve to reduce unnecessary waste. They also sell a cast iron drinker with a stainless steel lid that is made to be more resilient to sows and boars. Their drinking bowl of heavy gauge steel is galvanized after manufacture and finished with no sharp edges or corners to protect the animals.
  • BSM Agri Ltd.: Their pig trough is made from durable 304 series, 14 gauge stainless steel, and they assert it will last much longer than concrete troughs, which can get pitted and wear down. This trough is marketed as easy to install, lightweight, and can be cleaned by installing a drain at the end of each row. To automate the watering process and increase the reliability of watering systems, pig farmers can install a water distribution controller as well.
  • Ascott: They sell a Galvanized Pig Wallowing Trough that is 2440 x 760 x 220 mm deep complete with loose service box.
  • 6
  • Booth: The T/L range of troughs is their most commonly used drinking trough which can be tailored to suit each individual situation. As standard, all troughs measure 450mm (1.6") wide x 325mm (1'1") deep available in either 2.4m (8'), 2.0m (6') or 1.3m (4') lengths. Dividing bars can be added to prevent pigs wallowing in the trough if required. Their range of adult and weaner revolving water troughs are developed for areas of production where the supply of clean water to pigs is imperative. The ability to rotate the trough simply and easily means the operation is completed with the frequency required.

We compete primarily on the basis of quality, brand name recognition, and price. We believe that our success will depend upon our ability to remain competitive in our product areas. The failure to compete successfully in the future could result in a material deterioration of customer loyalty and our image and could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Regulatory Matters

We are unaware of and do not anticipate having to expend significant resources to comply with any governmental regulations of the pig farming industry in Asia. We are subject to the laws and regulations of those jurisdictions in which we plan to sell our product, which are generally applicable to business operations, such as business licensing requirements, income taxes and payroll taxes. In general, the development, manufacture, and sale of our Product in Asia is not subject to special regulatory and/or supervisory requirements.

Employees

We have no other employees other than our officers and directors. Our President oversees all responsibilities in the areas of corporate administration, business development, and research. We intend to expand our current management to retain skilled directors, officers, and employees with experience relevant to our business focus. Our current management team is highly skilled in technical areas such as researching and developing our product, but not skilled in areas such as marketing our product and business management. Obtaining the assistance of individuals with and in-depth knowledge of operations and markets will allow us to build market share more effectively. We intend on employing sales representatives in the Philippines when our product is ready for production and shipping and in various provinces of China and other Asian countries when we are ready to expand internationally.

Environmental Laws

We have not incurred and do not anticipate incurring any expenses associated with environmental laws.

Penny Stock

 

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market 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. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) 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 laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.

 

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) 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 (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.

8

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 acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.

 

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling our securities.

 

Dividends

 

There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:

 

1.       we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or;

2.       our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

 

We have not declared any dividends and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

 

We do not have any equity compensation plans.

 

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

 

A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe-harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse affect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include, but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC.

Results of Operations for the Years Ended February 28, 2011 and February 28, 2010 and Period from January 31, 2008 (Date of Inception) until February 28, 2011

 

We generated no revenue for the period from January 31, 2008 (Date of Inception) until February 28, 2011. Our Operating Expenses were $74,450 for the year ended February 28, 2011, as compared with $17,063 for the year ended February 28, 2010, and $140,513 for the period from January 31, 2008 (Date of Inception) to February 28, 2011. For each period mentioned, our Operating Expenses consisting entirely of Professional Fees. We, therefore, recorded a net loss of $74,450 for the year ended February 28, 2011, as compared with $17,063 for the year ended February 28, 2010, and $140,513 for the period from January 31, 2008 (Date of Inception) until February 28, 2011.

 

We anticipate our operating expenses will increase as we undertake our plan of operations. The increase will be attributable to the continued development of our Product and the professional fees associated with our becoming a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of February 28, 2011, we had no assets and $97,513 in current liabilities. Thus, we have working capital deficit of $97,513 as of February 28, 2011.

 

Operating activities used $70,700 in cash for the period from January 31, 2008 (Date of Inception) until February 28, 2011. Our net loss of $140,513, offset by an increase in accrued expenses of $69,813 was the basis of our negative operating cash flow. Financing activities during the period from January 31, 2008 (Date of Inception) until February 28, 2011 generated $70,700 in cash during the period as a result of $43,000 in the sale of our common stock, and $27,700 in related party loans.

 

As of February 28, 2011, we have insufficient cash to operate our business at the current level for the next twelve months and insufficient cash to achieve our business goals. The success of our business plan beyond the next 12 months is contingent upon us obtaining additional financing. We intend to fund operations through debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund our capital expenditures, working capital, or other cash requirements. We do not have any formal commitments or arrangements for the sales of stock or the advancement or loan of funds at this time. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.

10

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of February 28, 2011, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

 

Going Concern

 

We have negative working capital and have not yet received revenues from sales of products. These factors have caused our accountants to express substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our generating cash from the sale of our common stock and/or obtaining debt financing and attaining future profitable operations. Management’s plans include selling our equity securities and obtaining debt financing to fund our capital requirement and ongoing operations; however, there can be no assurance we will be successful in these efforts.

As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated our company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, our sole chief executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of November 30, 2010, these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by our company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities Exchange Commission and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our company’s management, including our company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

The conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective was due to the presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as identified below under the heading “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.” Management anticipates that such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material weaknesses are remediated. Our company intends to remediate the material weaknesses as set out below.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

Our company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) for our company. Our company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance, not absolute assurance, regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our company’s assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and that our company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Our Management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2011 based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as at February 28, 2011 due to the following material weaknesses which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both United States generally accepted accounting principles and Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines. Management anticipates that such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material weaknesses are remediated.

 

Our company plans to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls over financial reporting. During the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending February 28, 2012, subject to obtaining additional financing: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out above are largely dependent upon our company securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely effected in a material manner.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.

12

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended February 28, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

43 President, Chief Executive Officer, Principal Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, and Director

 

Set forth below is a brief description of the background and business experience of our executive officer and Directors.

 

Mr. Sacher is President of The Broadsmoore Group, LLC. Prior to joining The Broadsmoore Group, Gil was a Managing Director at NewOak Capital, heading the Firm’s high net worth and Family Office coverage. Gil has more than 22 years of Wall Street experience. He spent 15 years at Lehman Brothers in the Investment Management Division. In his most recent role at Lehman Brothers, Gil headed a desk focused on the internal distribution of private equity, asset management and absolute return strategy products. Prior to that, he was part of the New York Sales Management Team, where he co-managed a high-net worth sales force of 130 advisors with north of $550 million in annual revenues. Gil transitioned into management after building a successful private client business. Gil began his career at Shearson Lehman, initially as a research analyst in their Municipal Valued Investment Portfolio Program Group and then as a Floor Trader on the New York Stock Exchange. After Shearson Lehman and prior to Business School, Gil spent a total of 5 years with PaineWebber, in the Firm’s Municipal Research, Sales & Trading and Public Finance groups. Mr. Sacher holds Series 7, 63/65 (66), 79 and 9/10 licenses from FINRA, formerly the Nat’l Association of Securities Dealers (NASD).

Significant Employees

 

We do not currently have any significant employees aside from Gil Sacher.

13

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

To the best of our knowledge, during the past ten years, none of the following occurred with respect to our present or former director, executive officer, or employee: (1) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; (2) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (3) being subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his or her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; and (4) being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.

Committees of the Board

Our company currently does not have nominating, compensation or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor does our company have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our directors believe that it is not necessary to have such committees, at this time, because the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the board of directors.

Our company does not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. The board of directors believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. Our company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the board of directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The board of directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.

A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our board of directors may do so by directing a written request addressed to our President and director, Ms. Zandra Grace Hernandez, at the address appearing on the first page of this annual report.

 

Code of Ethics

 

As of February 28, 2011, we had not adopted a Code of Ethics for Financial Executives, which would include our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Boards of Directors

Tupper, Inc.

Las Vegas, Nevada

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Tupper, Inc., as of February 28, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended and the period from January 31, 2008 (date of inception) to February 28, 2011. 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 has determined that it 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 includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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 Tupper, Inc., as of February 28, 2011 and 2010 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended and the period from January 31, 2008 (date of inception) to February 28, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Tupper, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses from operations, has negative working capital and is in need of additional capital to grow its operations so that it can become profitable. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regard to these matters are described in Note 4. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

February 28, 2011

 

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Business

 

Tupper, Inc. (“Tupper”) is a development stage company and was incorporated in Nevada on January 31, 2008. We are engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing, and selling pig watering troughs (the “Product”) specifically for pig farmers in Asia. Tupper operates out of office space owned by a director and stockholder of the Company. The facilities are provided at no charge. There can be no assurances that the facilities will continue to be provided at no charge in the future.

 

Development Stage Company

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles related to development-stage companies. A development-stage company is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if its operations have commenced, there has been no significant revenues there from.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Tupper considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At February 28, 2011 and 2010, the Company had $-0- of cash.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Tupper’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents and loans payable to a related party. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

February 28, 2011

 

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

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

 

Basic loss per share

 

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. There are no such common stock equivalents outstanding as of February 28, 2011 or 2010.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when products are fully delivered or services have been provided and collection is reasonably assured.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and 123 (R) (ASC 718). To date, the Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options. As of February 28, 2011, the Company has not issued any stock-based payments to its employees.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Tupper 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.

 

NOTE 2 – LOAN PAYABLE – RELATED PARTY

 

The Company has received a loan from a related party to be used for working capital. The loan is due upon demand, non-interest bearing, and unsecured. The balance due on these loans was $27,700 and $16,000 as of February 28, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

February 28, 2011

 

NOTE 3 – INCOME TAXES

 

For the periods ended February 28, 2011, Tupper has incurred net losses and, therefore, has no tax liability. The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carry-forward has been fully reserved. The cumulative net operating loss carry-forward is approximately $140,513 and $66,063 at February 28, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and will expire beginning in the year 2027.

 

The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 34% of significant items comprising our net deferred tax amount is as follows:

 

  2011  2010
Deferred tax asset attributable to:         
 Net operating loss carryover $47,774   $22,461 
 Valuation allowance  (47,774)   (22,461)
     Net deferred tax asset $—     $—   

 

NOTE 4 – LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN

 

Tupper has negative working capital, has incurred losses since inception, and has not yet received revenues from sales of products or services. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The ability of Tupper to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company generating cash from the sale of its common stock and/or obtaining debt financing and attaining future profitable operations. Management’s plans include selling its equity securities and obtaining debt financing to fund its capital requirement and ongoing operations; however, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts.

 

NOTE 5 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Management has evaluated subsequent events through May 31, 2011, the date on which the financial statements were issued, and has determined it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose.
