PART I

ITEM 1.   BUSINESS

Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure, Inc. was formed as a C corporation and incorporated November 24, 1998 in the State of Florida.  The Company is currently not involved with any proceedings, bankruptcy or receiverships.

We offer entertainment based oval driving schools and events.  These classes are conducted at various racetracks throughout the country. We completed our first driving classes in Rockingham, NC in July of 1999.  Since July 4th, 1999, we have run classes at over forty NASCAR tracks, including our eastern hub at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama.

The Company currently owns 15 racecars, and has recently purchased 6 additional racecars for our Las Vegas, NV “hub”.  These racecars are classified as stock cars and are equipped for oval or round tracks only.  They are fully loaded with race engines, six point harnesses, neck and head restraints, communications, track specific gears and complete safety cages. We have negotiated terms with over forty racetracks where, for a fee ranging from $0 to $10,000 a day, we can rent their tracks.  

Products and Services.  The Company offers five types of ride or drive programs for individuals and corporations.  The "Qualifier" is a three lap ride with a professional driver which lasts about five minutes, depending on the length of the track.  The "Season Opener" is a half day training class culminating in the student driving ten laps.  The "Rookie Adventure" and "Happy Hour" are also half day driving classes with the students driving 20 or 30 laps, respectively.  The “Advanced Stock Car Adventure” is a full day 60 lap class.  The main purpose of each event is the thrill of actually driving the race car.

The operation is similar to that of a traveling show in that we transport the stock cars, the mechanics, the sales staff and the instructors from event to event.

Due to the expiration of an exclusive contract between the Richard Petty Driving Experience and the Las Vegas Motor Speedway in December 2011, we have expanded our operations to the west coast.  The Company began running schools at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway in January 2012.  We have leased a garage on Speedway Blvd. in Las Vegas, which is being managed by Glenn Jarrett, an officer and director.  This new hub establishes a national presence for the Company.  The Company plans to eventually service California, Arizona, and Colorado through this hub.

4

The Company currently has 15 racecars, with 6 more being ordered and manufactured, which had an original purchase price of approximately $50,000 per car.  Staffing costs are approximately $20,000 per month at each active hub.  We own a Miller Semi Tractor Trailer to haul the cars from track to track.  The transporting of staff to the event and their food and lodging costs average $4,000 per day.  We are required to maintain a minimum of $5,000,000 of liability insurance, worker’s compensation and property and casualty insurance.

The Company also offers a number of add-on sale items, including CDs from its Adventure Cam located in the car, clothing, souvenirs and photography.

Vendor Agreement.  During 2009, we entered into an agreement with a vendor, who provides video equipment and video recording services, which enables us to sell video recordings to our students.  Under the agreement, we were entitled to a 60% allocation of revenue for all video products and services sold through December 31, 2011.  Beginning January 1, 2012, the agreement was extended through December 31, 2013 and amended to provide for payments by us to the vendor of $30 for driving adventures, and $11 for riding adventures for which the recording is purchased by the student.

On August 19, 2010, we entered into an agreement with Talladega Superspeedway, LLC to allow Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure exclusivity during 2011 in providing stock car ride along programs and stock car driving experiences to paying students at Talladega Superspeedway.  Under the terms of the agreement, we agreed to rent a minimum of 60 days during 2011 for $450,000 payable in four payments of $112,500 due at the end of each quarter during 2011.

During October 2011, we entered into a new agreement with Talladega Superspeedway, LLC to allow Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure exclusivity during 2012 in providing stock car ride along programs and stock car driving experiences to paying students at Talladega Superspeedway.  Under the terms of the agreement, we agreed to rent a minimum of 60 days during 2012 for $438,000 payable in four payments of $109,500 due at the end of each quarter during 2012.  We will also be required to pay Talladega Superspeedway the greater of a set amount of each experience provided or 20% of all DJRA revenues on five designated racing days at the track.

On October 18, 2011, we signed an agreement with Las Vegas Motor Speedway to allow us to provide 34 event dates at the speedway during 2012.  We will pay $271,000 to Las Vegas Motor Speedway over the course of 2012 for use of the speedway.

Marketing.   We offer our products and services at various tracks throughout the country.  We employ a marketing director who is primarily responsible for closing the prospects created through promotion.  These services are sold as both corporate outings and directly to the public through various marketing and advertising mediums with an emphasis on radio and the internet.

5

Promotional and Licensing Agreements.  In December 1998, we entered into promotional and licensing agreements with Dale Jarrett, Ned Jarrett, Glenn Jarrett, Jason Jarrett and Brett Favre whereby these individuals have granted us the use of their names and likeliness in advertising, products and promotional materials, as well as an agreed upon number of appearances per year and an agreed upon number of radio and/or television commercials as set out in each agreement.  Ned Jarrett is the father of Dale Jarrett and Glenn Jarrett.  Dale Jarrett is the father of Jason Jarrett.

Pursuant to these agreements, we issued an aggregate of 5,500,000 common shares of the Company.  The term of each agreement was ten years and expired in December 2008.  These individuals have verbally agreed to continue their relationship with us without a written agreement and will be compensated for future services only when they are rendered.

Competition.  The driving schools industry is currently experiencing a limited degree of competition with regard to availability, price, service, quality and location.  There is one well-established market leader, Richard Petty Driving Experience, that is nationally recognized and which possess substantially greater financial, marketing personnel and other resources than us.  There are also a small number of local or regional schools.  Virtual reality driving experiences are also becoming more realistic and a growing competitor.   It is also likely that other competitors will emerge in the near future.  There is no assurance that we will compete successfully with other established driving schools.  We shall compete on the basis of availability, price, service, quality and location.  Inability to compete successfully might result in increased costs, reduced yields and additional risks to the investors herein.

Employees.  The Company employs three full time employees responsible for securing the Driving Adventure locations, procurement of equipment, racecars, and the development and implementation of our marketing plan.  Each active location has up to 25 contract personnel including but not limited to a mechanic, four to ten driving instructors, two administrators, a flagman and a site manager.  Additional employees or independent contractors will be obtained as required.

Seasonal Nature of Business Activities.   The Company's operations have shown to be seasonal partly because some track locations may only operate on certain days or certain times of the year.  Primarily, this is due to the weather.  Our plan is to run more tracks in the south during the winter to maintain a steady revenue stream in the future.

Government Regulation.  The Company does not currently need any government approval of our services and are not aware of any existing or probable governmental regulations on our business or industry.

The Company’s executive offices which consist of 1,500 square feet are located at 1313 10^th Avenue Lane, SE, Hickory, North Carolina.  In October 2009, the Company entered into an operating lease for use of this office space.  The lease requires a monthly payment of $1,830 and expires in November, 2012.  Once this lease is up, we plan to procure new executive offices at an estimated monthly rent payment of $2,000.  Subsequent to December 31, 2011 we entered into a lease for office space in Las Vegas, NV which requires monthly payments of $1,510 and continues through February 28, 2013.  Future minimum payments under these lease agreements are as follows: $35,461 in 2012 and $3,020 in 2013.  The Company also leases various office and warehouse space on a month-to-month basis or under terms that are less than one year, including our garage facility in Talladega, AL.  Our rent expense was $62,559 and $66,287 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

ITEM 6.  SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

Not applicable to a smaller reporting company.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Trends and Uncertainties.  Demand for the Company's products are dependent on general economic conditions, which are cyclical in nature.  Because a major portion of our activities are the receipt of revenues from our driving school services and products, our business operations may be adversely affected by competitors and prolonged recessionary periods.  

There are no other known trends, events or uncertainties that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on our short term or long term liquidity.  Sources of liquidity will come from the sale of our products and services, as well as the private sale of our stock.  There are no material commitments for capital expenditure at this time.  There are no trends, events or uncertainties that have had or are reasonably expected to have a material impact on the net sales or revenues or income from continuing operations.  There are no significant elements of income or loss that do not arise from the Company’s continuing operations.  There are no other known causes for any material changes from period to period in one or more line items of our financial statements.  

We currently have classes planned through December 2012.

Capital and Source of Liquidity.  The Company currently has no material commitments for capital expenditures and has no plans for future capital expenditures, other than as discussed above, at this time.  

We believe that there will be sufficient capital from revenues to conduct operations for the next 12 months.  

In 2011, our revenue provided substantially all of the cash necessary to conduct operations; however, our operations used $91,230 in cash during the year due to activities related to our expansion to Las Vegas.  Future revenues from classes and events will determine the amount of additional financing necessary to continue and expand operations.

9

The board of directors has no immediate offering plans in place and shall determine the amount and type of financing as our financial situation dictates.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, we acquired property and equipment, including racecars under construction, of $37,434 resulting in net cash used in investing activities of $37,434.  For the year ended December 31, 2010, we acquired property and equipment of $53,919 resulting in net cash used in investing activities of $53,919.  

The following table summarizes the stock option activity during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010:

At December 31, 2011, we have the following options outstanding, all of which are exercisable:

Exercise price: $0.15; Outstanding: 3,500,000; Contractual life: 2.8 years

For the year ended December 31, 2011, we repaid long-term debt of $24,962.  As a result, our net cash used in financing activities was $24,962 in 2011.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, we repaid long-term debt of $21,612.  We also purchased treasury stock of an amount equaling $22,132.  As a result, our net cash used in financing activities was $43,744 in 2010.

Our long-term liquidity is dependent on the continuation of operations and receipt of revenues.

10

Results of Operations.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, we had sales of $2,875,602, which represented a 6% decrease over the 2010 sales of $3,075,262.  Revenues decreased due to general economic distress in our market areas.  The cost of sales increased only 3% to $1,355,924 from the 2010 cost of sales of $1,320,718 due to an emphasis placed on controlling at-track expenses.  This resulted in a 13% decrease in gross profit from $1,754,544 in 2010 to $1,519,678 in 2011.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, we had selling, general and administrative expenses of $1,849,847.  This is an increase from the $1,676,550 in general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 of 10%.

Plan of Operation.  The Company may experience problems, delays, expenses and difficulties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control.  These include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates and competition.

Critical Accounting Policies

The following accounting policies are considered critical by our management.  These and other accounting policies require that estimates be made based on assumptions and judgment, which affect revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingencies in our financial statements.  These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  However, actual results may differ from these estimates under different and/or future circumstances.

Revenue Recognition

In general, we record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the student is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.  The following policies reflect specific criteria for the various revenue streams of the Company:

Revenue is recognized at the time the product is delivered or the service is performed.

Deferred revenue is recorded for amounts received in advance of the time at which services are performed and included in revenue at the completion of the related services. Deferred revenue aggregated $1,172,821 and $946,922 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

11

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated based upon estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives range from three to ten years.  At December 31, 2011, we believe the remaining carrying values of these assets are recoverable.

Stock-Based Compensation

We record stock based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Stock Compensation.   ASC 718 requires that the cost resulting from all share-based transactions be recorded in the financial statements and establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements and requires all entities to apply a fair-value-based measurement in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. The Statement also establishes fair value as the measurement objective for transactions in which an entity acquires goods or services from non-employees in share-based payment transactions.

Recent Pronouncements

We have determined that all recently issued accounting standards will not have a material impact on our financial statements, or do not apply to our operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, 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 of America).  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 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 Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure, Inc. as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations, and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2011 and 2010

Note 1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure, Inc. (referred to as “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Florida on November 24, 1998.  The Company offers the “NASCAR” racing school to the public.  The Company owns several “NASCAR” type racecars and has secured several racetrack locations at which it offers these services at various dates during the year.

Revenue Recognition

In general, we record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the student is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.  The following policies reflect specific criteria for the various revenue streams of the Company:

Revenue is recognized at the time the product is delivered or the service is performed.  Provision for sales returns will be estimated based on the Company’s historical return experience; however sales returns have not been significant due to the nature of the services we provide.

Deferred revenue is recorded for amounts received in advance of the time at which services are performed and included in revenue at the completion of the related services. Deferred revenue aggregated $1,172,821 and $946,922 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Statement of Cash Flows

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at estimated net realizable value.  Accounts receivable are comprised of balances due from students net of estimated allowances for uncollectible accounts.  In determining collectability, historical trends are evaluated and specific student issues are reviewed to arrive at appropriate allowances.  There was no allowance at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

20

Spare Parts and Supplies

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis, which at December 31, 2011 and 2010 include approximately $138,245 and $178,630, respectively, of spare parts and tires used in the racecar operation and finished goods, which are primarily promotional items that bear our logo, of approximately $4,617 and $6,475, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, ranging from 3 to 10 years.  Major additions are capitalized, while minor additions and maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the useful life of an asset, are expensed as incurred.  At December 31, 2011, we believe the remaining carrying values of these assets are recoverable.

Long Lived Assets

We annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, review our long-lived assets for impairment.  An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount.  No such impairment losses have been identified by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Use of Estimates

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

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are charged to operations when the advertising first takes place.  Advertising costs charged to operations were $489,015 and $510,191 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

21

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s short-term financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and notes payable. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value because of their short-term maturities.  Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.  We continually monitor our positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions in which we invest.  As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and periodically throughout such years, balances in various operating accounts exceeded federally insured limits.  We have not experienced any losses in such accounts.  We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes nor do we hold or issue interest rate or leveraged derivative financial instruments.

The carrying value of our long-term debt approximated its fair value based on the current market conditions for similar debt instruments.

Segment Information

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC 280-10, Segment Reporting.  Under ASC 280-10, certain information is disclosed based on the way management organizes financial information for making operating decisions and assessing performance.  We currently operate in a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as we expand our operations.

Income Taxes

We compute income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes.  Under ASC-740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period.  Also, the effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date.  If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.

We follow guidance in FASB ASC Topic 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

22

For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

Stock-Based Compensation

We recognize stock based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Stock Compensation.   ASC 718 requires that the cost resulting from all share-based transactions be recorded in the financial statements. It establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements and requires all entities to apply a fair-value-based measurement in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. The Statement also establishes fair value as the measurement objective for transactions in which an entity acquires goods or services from non-employees in share-based payment transactions.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

We calculate net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share.  Basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding.  Outstanding options were not dilutive in the period of income.

During periods in which we incur losses, common stock equivalents, if any, are not considered, as their effect would be anti-dilutive or have no effect on earnings per share.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We have determined that all recently issued accounting standards will not have a material impact on our financial statements, or do not apply to our operations.

At December 31, 2011, we have the following options outstanding, all of which are exercisable:

Exercise price: $0.15; Outstanding:3,500,000; Weighted average remaining contractual life: 2.8 years.

During April 2009, we extended the expiration date of 3,500,000 outstanding options for a period of five years.  The exercise price remained at $.15 per share and the options now expire on October 21, 2014. The incremental cost of the extension of these options was $50,000 and was charged to stock option based compensation expense during 2009.

Note 5. Income Taxes

We have not provided for income taxes during any period presented as a result of operating losses.  We have a net operating loss carryforward at December 31, 2011 of approximately $4,300,000 that will expire through 2031.  The principal difference between the income (loss) for book purposes and as reported on the income tax return results primarily from stock-based compensation.  We have fully reserved the deferred tax asset that would arise from the loss carryforward since we believe that it is more likely than not that future income from operations will not be available to utilize the deferred tax asset.  The approximate deferred tax asset and the related reserve are as follows:

The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.  The sources and tax effects of the differences are as follows:

25

We have not taken any uncertain tax positions on any of our open income tax returns filed through the period ended December 31, 2011.  Our methods of accounting are based on established income tax principles in the Internal Revenue Code and are properly calculated and reflected within our income tax returns.  Due to the carryforward of net operating losses, our federal and state income tax returns are subject to audit for various periods beginning in 1998.

Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases

In October 2009, we entered an operating lease for use of a building in Hickory, North Carolina.  The lease requires a monthly payment of $1,830 and expires in November, 2012.  Subsequent to December 31, 2011 we entered into a lease for office and warehouse space in Las Vegas, NV.  The lease requires a monthly payment of $1,510 and expires February 28, 2013.  Future minimum payments under these lease agreements are as follows:  $35,461 in 2012 and $3,020 in 2013.  The Company also leases various office and warehouse space on a month to month basis or under terms that are less than one year.  Rent expense amounted to $62,559 and $66,287 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

During October 2011, we entered into a new agreement with Talladega Superspeedway, LLC to allow Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure exclusivity during 2012 in providing stock car ride along programs and stock car driving experiences to paying students at Talladega Superspeedway.  Under the terms of the agreement, we agreed to rent a minimum of 60 days during 2012 for $438,000 payable in four payments of $109,500 due at the end of each quarter during 2012.  We will also be required to pay Talladega Superspeedway the greater of a set amount of each experience provided or 20% of all DJRA revenues on five designated racing days at the track.

On October 18, 2011, we signed an agreement with Las Vegas Motor Speedway to allow us to provide 34 event dates at the speedway during 2012.  We will pay $271,000 to Las Vegas Motor Speedway over the course of 2012 for use of the speedway.

Litigation

On June 28, 2010, we paid $20,000 to settle litigation related to an alleged breach of contract in the circuit court of Talladega County, Alabama.  The Company had previously accrued $17,500 related to this proceeding and expensed an additional $2,500 during 2010.

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to insure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, or the persons performing similar functions, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, or the persons performing similar functions, our management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO, or the persons performing similar functions, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2011.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting:

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is the process designed by and under the supervision of our CEO and CFO, or the persons performing similar functions, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Management has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control over Financial Reporting – Guidance for Smaller Public Companies.

28

Under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, or the persons performing similar functions, our management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, and concluded that it is effective.

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

Evaluation of Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting:

Under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, or those persons performing similar functions, our management has evaluated changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2011.  Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO, or those persons performing similar functions, did not identify any change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Important Considerations:

The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, 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 the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.

Committees of the Board of Directors

We do not have standing audit, nominating or compensation committees, or committees performing similar functions. Our board of directors believes that it is not necessary to have standing audit, nominating or compensation committees at this time because the functions of such committees are adequately performed by our board of directors.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

amended, an officer, director, or greater-than-10% shareholder of the

registrant must file a Form 4 reporting the acquisition or disposition of registrant's equity securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than the end of the second business day after the day the transaction occurred unless certain exceptions apply.  Transactions not reported on Form 4 must be reported on Form 5 within 45 days after the end of the registrant's fiscal year.  Such persons must also file initial reports of ownership on Form 3 upon becoming an officer, director, or greater-than-10% shareholder.  To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of these reports furnished to it, the officers, directors, and greater than 10% beneficial owners complied

with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements during 2011.

Code of Ethics Policy

During July 2008, we adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions.

31

Corporate Governance

There have been no changes in any state law or other procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our board of directors.  In addition to having no nominating committee for this purpose, we currently have no specific audit committee and no audit committee financial expert.  Based on the fact that our current business affairs are simple, any such committees are excessive and beyond the scope of our business and needs.

Indemnification

The Company shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by, and in the manner permissible under the laws of the State of Florida, any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Company, or served any other enterprise as director, officer or employee at the request of the Company.  The board of directors, in its discretion, shall have the power on behalf of the Company to indemnify any person, other than a director or officer, made a party to any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he/she is or was an employee of the registrant.  

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

INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS OR PERSONS CONTROLLING THE REGISTRANT FOR LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, IS HELD TO BE AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION AND IS THEREFORE UNENFORCEABLE.
