These statements may use words such as "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "predict," "project" and similar expressions as they relate to us or our management. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this annual report to “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company” refer to Thermal. When we make forward-looking statements, we are basing them on our management's beliefs and assumptions, using information currently available to us. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including but not limited to, risks, uncertainties and assumptions discussed in this annual report. Factors that can cause or contribute to these differences include those described under the headings "Risk Factors" and "Management Discussion and Analysis and Plan of Operation." If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially from what we projected. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or individuals acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this paragraph. You should specifically consider the factors identified in this annual report, which would cause actual results to differ before making an investment decision. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this annual report or to conform these statements to actual results.

PART I

Item 1. Business

Business

Thermal Tennis Inc. is committed to the growth of tennis. Thermal believes that tennis is a lifetime sport and that one's life is enhanced by participation in the game.  Many facilities, both public and private are underutilized, poorly managed, and not marketed to the tennis community.  Thermal Tennis Inc. believes there is a very good opportunity to generate and greatly improve revenues, and create hassle free tennis management for property owners at their existing facility.  Tennis has seen excellent growth as numbers established by the USTA and TIA.

Our president, Mr. Deller, started playing tennis at age 13 and became a high school and collegiate champion. He then played professional tennis on various national and worldwide circuits from 1979 until 1984. Mr. Deller has remained involved in tennis on various levels including teaching, coaching, recruiting, playing, consulting, tennis court construction, corporate advisory staff, association startup and many others.

- 3 -

The Company has limited history due to a lapse in revenue from 2001 to 2003 and from 2006 to the present.  The Company has been resurrected with full time management and emphasis on new growth. Mr. Deller, the sole owner of the Company, has over 30 years experience in the tennis community and is a respected member of the national tennis community as a player and a program developer.

The Company will bid on seasonal facilities beginning each summer and produce over $45,000 of gross revenues on each contract.

Mr. Deller is still developing his tennis training management system concept that he will try to sell to clubs located in the eight western states.

Principal Products or Services and their Markets

Thermal is in negotiations to run tennis facilities at several sites in Northern Nevada and Lake Tahoe. The company has strong ties to the University of Nevada's tennis program and plans to employ University tennis team athletes for summer programs. Employees will be trained by Thermal president, Bob Deller, in a standardized, proven system. Several models exist in the tennis industry including Nike Tennis Camps and Peter Burwash International (PBI). Thermal is also attempting to develop a Northern Nevada Training Academy at a local facility, much like the Bolletierri Academy (recently purchased by IMG) in Bradenton, Florida.

While many of Thermal's initial efforts will be focused in Nevada, the goal is to create a model and seek out underserved market places throughout the West to duplicate this successful concept.
 
Thermal has had many positive discussions with private facilities, city, parks and recreation officials and high schools to manage tennis complexes both seasonally and year round. With its retail contacts and client base, Thermal is also considering up sizing its retail operation into a regional presence and joint venturing with one of the tennis industries largest Internet tennis suppliers.
 
Strategy
 
On-going process of negotiating contracts with tennis facilities.
 
Marketing

Demographic trends have helped drive the growth experienced by the fitness industry over the past decade. The industry has benefited from the aging of the “baby boomer” generation and the coming of age of their offspring, the “echo boomers” (ages nine to 27). Government-sponsored reports, such as the Surgeon General’s Report on Physical Activity & Health (1996) and the Call to Action to Prevent and Decrease Overweight and Obesity (2001), have helped to increase the general awareness of the benefits of physical exercise to these demographic segments over those of prior generations. Membership penetration (defined as club members as a percentage of the total U.S. population over the age of six) has increased significantly from 11.0% in 1996 to 15.5% in 2005, according to the IHRSA/ American Sports Data Health Club Trend Report.

- 4 -

The United States Tennis Association has an interest in expanding the sport and enhancing people's lives. The local communities want to provide activities for its citizens. Thermal wants to bring these two (2) desires together and serve the tennis community with the best developmental program available.

Fun and exercise were listed as the top reasons why people play tennis.

Tennis instruction is very important for all levels of players.  For new players instruction contributes to the interest in playing.  For mature, or frequent players, instruction will increase the frequency of play.  They will schedule matches with friends, and other players they meet due the frequency of being on the court.  Additionally, this increases league play and the ability of players having other individuals to play.  People will play more if they can arrange matches with others at their same skill level.

The majority of the youth begin at public parks, or at school, where the tennis infrastructure is limited.  However, tennis lessons available to the general public always increase the frequency and recovery of players who have become dormant in their playing.

The fact that a corporation or other entity was affiliated with us or an equity interest in Thermal Tennis was owned by one or more of our executive officers, directors and/or controlling shareholders, would not disqualify the company from consideration as a potential customer. In order to minimize conflicts of interest, we have adopted in our minutes a policy that any contracts or other transactions with entities of which our officers, directors and/or controlling shareholders are also directors or officers, or in which they have a financial interest, will be approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors or will be fair and reasonable, but that none of these transactions by Thermal Tennis shall be affected or invalidated solely because of the relationship or interest of directors or officers. Nevertheless, in an instance where a disinterested majority of the members of the Board of Directors is unavailable to approve a transaction with an affiliated or related party, Thermal Tennis, pursuant to action of the Board of Directors, requires that the transaction be deemed to be fair and reasonable in order to be a valid, enforceable obligation.

Distribution Methods of the Products or Services

None; not applicable.

Status of any Publicly Announced New Product or Service

None; not applicable.

Effect of Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations on the Business

We are subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This Act creates a strong and independent accounting oversight board to oversee the conduct of auditors of public companies and strengthens auditor independence. It also requires steps to enhance the direct responsibility of senior members of management for financial reporting and for the quality of financial disclosures made by public companies; establishes clear statutory rules to limit, and to expose to public view, possible conflicts of interest affecting securities analysts; creates guidelines for audit committee members’ appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of public companies’ auditors; prohibits certain insider trading during pension bund blackout periods; and establishes a federal crime of securities fraud, among other provisions.

Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act requires all companies with securities registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act to comply with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding proxy solicitations, as outlined in Regulation 14A. Matters submitted to stockholders of our Company at a special or annual meeting thereof or pursuant to a written consent will require our Company to provide our stockholders with the information outlined in Schedules 14A or 14C of Regulation 14; preliminary copies of this information must be submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission at least 10 days prior to the date that definitive copies of this information are forwarded to our stockholders.

- 6 -

We are also required to file annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q with the Securities Exchange Commission on a regular basis, and will be required to timely disclose certain material events (e.g., changes in corporate control; acquisitions or dispositions of a significant amount of assets other than in the ordinary course of business; and bankruptcy) in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

If we are acquired by a non-“reporting issuer” under the Exchange Act, we will be subject to the “back-door registration” requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission that will require us to file a Current Report on Form 8-K12G3 that will include all information about such non-“reporting issuer” as would have been required to be filed by that entity had it filed a Form 10 or Form S-1 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Securities and Exchange Commission proposed on April 13, 2004, that any acquisition that will result in our Company no longer being a “blank check” or “blind pool” company will require us to include all information about the acquired company as would have been required to be filed by that entity had it filed a Form 10 or Form S-1 Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Research and Development Costs During the Last Two Fiscal Years

None; not applicable.

Cost and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws

None; not applicable. However, environmental laws, rules and regulations may have an adverse effect on any business venture viewed by our Company as an attractive acquisition, reorganization or merger candidate, and these factors may further limit the number of potential candidates available to our Company for acquisition, reorganization or merger.

Number of Total Employees and Number of Full Time Employees

Thermal Tennis has had no full-time employees since its organization. Robert R. Deller, our executive officer and director has served as the only part-time employee of Thermal Tennis for the past fiscal year. We anticipate that, at such time, if ever, as our financial position permits, assuming that we are successful in raising additional funds through equity and/or debt financing and/or generating a sufficient level of revenue from operations, Mr. Robert R. Deller and any other executive officers and/or directors of Thermal Tennis will receive reasonable salaries and other appropriate compensation, such as bonuses, coverage under medical and/or life insurance benefits plans and participation in stock option and/or other profit sharing or pension plans, for services as our executive officers and may receive additional fees for their attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors. Further, we may pay consulting fees to persons who perform services for us, although we have no present plans to do so.

Reports to Security Holders

You may read and copy any materials that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission at the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549.  You may also find all of the reports that we have filed electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission at their Internet site www.sec.gov.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, we did not provide to our shareholders any annual report, proxy statement or information statement nor do we have any plans at the present time to provide any such report or reports to our shareholders.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the following risk factors and the other information included herein as well as the information included in other reports and filings made with the SEC before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose part or all of your investment.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS:

If we fail to raise additional capital in the near future, our business will fail.
 
We have very limited cash resources and will need to raise additional capital in the immediate future through public or private financings or other arrangements in order to continue operations. If we are unable to do so, our business will fail. Even assuming no increase in our cash utilization rate from recent months, management estimates that our cash balance as of December 31, 2008 will be sufficient to fund planned expenditures only for a limited period of time, although the actual level of expenditures cannot be predicted with certainty and it is possible that our cash balance may be exhausted sooner than currently anticipated. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us when needed, if at all, or, if available, will be obtained on terms attractive to us.

Our financing arrangements contain, and, if we succeed in closing future financings, those future financings will likely contain, terms which place substantial restrictions on our ability to raise additional funds, such as anti-dilution protection in the event of subsequent financings. We had negative cash flow from operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 of $30,697, and we expect to continue to incur substantial negative cash flow from operations for the foreseeable future. We may be required to expend greater than anticipated funds if unforeseen difficulties arise in the course of completing the development, approval and marketing of our products. Even if we raise capital in the near term, our future cash needs may, at a minimum, cause us to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our programs, to limit the marketing of our programs.  Our failure to raise capital when needed would likely cause us to cease our operations.
 
We have financed our operations since inception primarily through certain early revenues and related cash flows, the lines of credit and proceeds from our initial public offering in July 2008.  Although our management recognizes the need to raise funds in the immediate future, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in consummating any fundraising transaction, or if we do consummate such a transaction, that its terms and conditions will not require us to give investors valuable rights to purchase additional interests in our company, or be otherwise unfavorable to us. We may be required to issue preferred stock, debt or other securities with rights and preferences senior to the rights of holders of our common stock. In addition, the issuance of additional securities will likely dilute the interests of existing common stockholders, and could impose additional restrictions on how we operate and finance our business.

- 8 -

We are dependent upon our key personnel.
 
Our ability to operate successfully depends in significant part upon the continued service of certain managerial personnel, and our continuing ability to attract and retain additional highly qualified personnel in these areas.  We cannot be certain that we can retain such personnel or that, if we are able to raise additional capital in amounts sufficient to maintain and expand our operations, we will be able to attract or retain managerial personnel in the future.
 
The general economic downturn both in the US and worldwide may have a significant impact on our financial condition and operating results.

In recent months, worldwide economic conditions have deteriorated significantly in the United States and other countries, and may remain depressed for the foreseeable future. These conditions make it difficult for us to accurately forecast and plan future business activities, and could cause us to slow or reduce spending on our research and development activities. Furthermore, during challenging economic times, we may face issues gaining timely access to financings or capital infusion, which could result in an impairment of our ability to continue our business activities. We cannot predict the timing, strength or duration of any economic slowdown or subsequent economic recovery, worldwide, in the United States, or in our industry. These and other economic factors could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.
 
If we do not obtain additional funding as needed, we may be unable to fund our business operations and to adequately pursue our business plan.
 
Our business plan requires significant ongoing expenditures for the marketing of our products and services.  It is possible that we will need additional outside funding sources in the future to continue the development and the promotion of our business.  If we are not successful in obtaining additional funding for operations if and when needed, we may have to discontinue some or all of our business activities and our stockholders might lose all of their investment.
 
- 9 -

If we fail to convince the market place that we have superior products and services, we will not be commercially successful.
 
Even if we are successful in offering services superior to those of our competitors, it will be necessary for us to educate and convince the market place of that superiority.  If we are unable to do so, we will not be able to achieve the market penetration necessary to become commercially successful and our investors may lose their investments.
 
If we cannot retain or hire qualified personnel, our programs could be delayed.
 
We are dependent on our president who is prominent in the tennis industry.  The loss of his services could disrupt our business activities.  We believe that our future success will depend in large part upon our ability to attract and retain highly skilled tennis professionals.  We face intense competition for these kinds of personnel from other companies and organizations.  We might not be successful in hiring or retaining the personnel needed for success.
 
Investors will be unable to sell their securities if no market develops for those securities.

No market exists at the present time for our common shares.  Investors in the offering will purchase securities that cannot be resold by those investors since no market exists.  Even though we intend to create a public market for our common shares, there can be no assurance when the market will develop or if the market will ever develop.  If we are not successful in developing a market for our common shares, investors will not be able to sell their securities.

In an economic downturn, persons may not use their discretionary income to play tennis.

Playing tennis on a recreational basis is typically considered a luxury rather than a necessity.  In an economic downturn, many persons that would otherwise pursue the recreational playing of tennis may of necessity use their limited resources for other purposes making it difficult for us to grow tennis facility memberships for our clients.  In this event, it will be more difficult for our clients to prosper and accordingly more difficult for us to achieve financial viability as a business.  Under this set of circumstances, it will be less likely our stockholders will receive a return on their investments.
 
We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our stock.
 
We have never paid cash dividends on our capital stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Instead, we intend to retain future earnings for reinvestment in our business.

- 10 -

We may be adversely affected by regulatory requirements, tax requirements and The Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We may not be able to implement Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 on a timely basis and we had identified material weakness in our system of internal controls.
  
We will be subject to reporting on internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act for auditors attestation for fiscal years ending on or after December 15, 2009. The Company is currently unable to predict the cost or difficulties required to complete such certifications. We expect that we will need to hire and/or engage additional personnel and incur incremental costs in order to complete the work required by Section 404. We have in the past discovered, and may in the future discover, areas of our internal controls that need improvement. We may not be able to remediate these problems on a timely basis. Additionally, upon completion of a Section 404 plan, we may not be able to conclude that our internal controls are effective, or in the event that we conclude that our internal controls are effective, our independent accountants may disagree with our assessment and may issue a report that is qualified. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

None

Item 2. Properties

Thermal Tennis maintains its offices pursuant to a verbal arrangement rent at $250 per month at the residence of Ms. Robert R. Deller, President/Secretary/Treasurer and a director of Thermal Tennis, located at 4950 Golden Springs Drive, Reno, Nevada, 89509. Thermal Tennis' present office arrangement, which is expected to be adequate to meet our needs for the foreseeable future, has been valued by management at a nominal value and, accordingly, does not impact the accompanying Financial Statements of Thermal Tennis. Thermal Tennis' telephone and facsimile number is (775) 560-6659.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

The Company is not a party to any pending legal proceeding. To the knowledge of management, no federal, state or local governmental agency is presently contemplating any proceeding against the Company. No director, executive officer or affiliate of the Company or owner of record or beneficially of more than five percent of the Company’s common stock is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company in any proceeding.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

No matters have been submitted to a vote of our security holders during the fourth quarter of the calendar year ended December 31, 2008.
 
- 11 -

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

Market Information

There is no “established trading market” for our shares of common stock. We are not listed on the OTC Bulletin Board nor the Pink Sheets of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”)”; and management does not expect any established trading market to develop unless and until we have material operations. In any event, no assurance can be given that any market for our common stock will develop or be maintained. If a public market ever develops in the future, the sale of “unregistered” and “restricted” shares of common stock pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission by members of management or others may have a substantial adverse impact on any such market.  All of these persons have satisfied the six-month holding period requirement of Rule 144.  Because our stock does not trade and because we do not have a listing on any service, there are no high and low bid prices to report.

Holders

The number of record holders of the Company’s common stock as of the date of this Report is approximately 18, not including an indeterminate number who may hold shares in “street name.”

Dividends

Holders of shares of common stock are entitled to share pro rata in dividends and distributions with respect to the common stock when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore. We have not paid any dividends on our common stock and intend to retain earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business. Future dividend policy is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon a number of factors, including future earnings, capital requirements and the financial condition of Thermal Tennis.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

We have no equity compensation plans.
 
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

During the last three years we have not issued any unregistered securities.

Purchases of Equity Securities by Us and Affiliated Purchasers

There have been no purchases of equity securities by us and no affiliated purchases.

The Company undertakes no obligation to update or publicly announce revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect future events or developments.
 
Although forward-looking statements in this prospectus reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by us. Consequently, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties and actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in or anticipated by the forward-looking statements.

Plan of Operations
 
We propose to develop tennis management programs, tennis training programs, sales of tennis equipment and general services related to tennis.  Thermal Tennis has devoted substantially all of their time and effort to organizational and financing matters during the last two years. Through the date hereof, we have not yet generated any revenue during this period and we have realized a net loss from operations. We did not generate any revenue during the years December 31, 2008 and 2007.  The Company had no revenues from commissions on the sale of the ball machines or operations.  The Company’s net loss during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $30,697 and $15,159.  Until additional clients are obtained, the Company expects that it will continue to generate operating losses.
 
Operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $27,321 and  $12,883.  We filed an S-1 during 2008 and it became effective July 24, 2008.  We expect that these offering proceeds will satisfy our cash requirements for at least a year and that it will not be necessary, during that period, to raise additional funds to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, certain parties have lent $10,000 during 2008 and $30,000 to the company during 2007 and additional funds will be needed to continue on its limited operations.  We do not anticipate the performance of any research and development during the next 12 months.

There can be no assurance that we will achieve commercial acceptance for any of our proposed tennis services in the future; that future service revenue will materialize or be significant; that any sales will be profitable; or that we will have sufficient funds available for further development of our proposed services. The likelihood of our success will also depend upon our ability to raise additional capital from equity and/or debt financing to overcome the problems and risks described herein; to absorb the expenses and delays frequently encountered in the operation of a new business; and to succeed in the competitive environment in which we will operate. Although management intends to explore all available alternatives for equity and/or debt financing, including, but not limited to, private and public securities offerings, there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate additional capital. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent on our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations on a timely basis and, ultimately, to achieve profitability.

Financial Condition, Capital Resources and Liquidity
 
As of December 31, 2008, we had total cash assets of $17,018, which was derived from the loans made to the company and proceeds from the offering. We had total current liabilities of $60,335 and working capital and stockholders' deficit of $37,297 as of December 31, 2008.  Deficits accumulated during the history of the company have totaled $48,839.  Our financial statements are presented on the basis that Thermal Tennis is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business over a reasonable length of time. However, our independent accountants have noted that the Company has accumulated losses from operations and has the need to raise additional financing in order to satisfy its vendors and other creditors and execute its business plan.  These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our future success will be dependent upon our ability to provide effective and competitive tennis services that meet customers' changing requirements. Should Thermal Tennis' efforts to raise additional capital through equity and/or debt financing fail, Robert Deller, our President/Secretary/Treasurer, is expected to provide the necessary working capital so as to permit Thermal Tennis to continue as a going concern.

- 14 -

At December 31, 2008 the Company had no material operations and was still seeking capital through a stock offering or the obtaining of additional debt in order to resume operations. At December 31, 2008 and through the date of this filing, the Company has yet to obtain any other commitments for additional funding or commence its business activity.  In the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company received $10,000 in proceeds from debt.  The Company received $19,750 in gross proceeds from the sale of its common stock.  During the first quarter of 2009, the Company has received $16,750 in gross proceeds from the sale of its common stock.  The Company expects it will have to borrow additional funds against its credit lines to sustain operations until the offering of its securities is completed.

Until the Company obtains the capital required to develop any properties or businesses and obtains the revenues needed from its future operations to meet its obligations, the Company will depend on sources other than operating revenues to meet its operating and capital needs. Operating revenues may never satisfy these needs.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have not entered into any 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 and would be considered material to investors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Thermal Tennis Inc.
Reno, Nevada

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Thermal Tennis Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2008.  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 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.  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 Thermal Tennis Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with U.S. governing accepted accounting principles.

We were not engaged to examine management’s assertion about the effectiveness of Thermal Tennis Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008 included in “Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.

As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company's recurring losses from operations raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. (Management's plans as to these matters are also described in Note 3.)  The 2008 and 2007 financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

THERMAL TENNIS INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2008 AND 2007


NOTE 1 – Organization, History and Business Activity

Thermal Tennis Inc. (Company) was founded July 1, 1999 and was organized to engage in the business of namely the development of tennis management programs, tennis training programs, sales of tennis equipment and general services related to tennis.  The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada.

NOTE 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

This summary of significant accounting policies of Thermal Tennis Inc. (the “Company”) is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements.  The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity.  These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Use of Estimates

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

Concentration of Risk

The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with established financial institutions.

Accounts Receivable

Trade receivables are recognized and carried at the original invoice amount less allowance for any un-collectible amounts. An estimate for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred. There were no bad debts for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

- 23 -

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, advances to suppliers, other receivables, accounts payable, short-term bank loans, customer deposits, taxes payable, other payables and accrued expenses and due to stockholders. Management has estimated that the carrying amount approximates their fair value due to their short-term nature.

Shares for Services and Other Assets

The Company accounts for non-cash stock-based compensation issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment”(“SFAS No. 123(R)”) and EITF No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity (deficit) Investments That Are Issued to Non-Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.  Common stock issued to non-employees and consultants is based upon the value of the services received or the quoted market price, whichever value is more readily determinable.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) number 104, which states that revenues are generally recognized when it is realized and earned.  Specifically, the Company recognizes revenue when services are performed and projects are completed and accepted by the customer.  Revenues are expected to be earned from tennis lessons, sales of ball machines and other related services.

 Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets or liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or income tax returns. Deferred income tax assets or liabilities are determined based upon the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply when the differences are expected to be settled or realized. Deferred income tax assets are reviewed periodically for recoverability and valuation allowances are provided as necessary. We classify penalties and interest as income taxes as allowed by FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.”  A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that future realization is uncertain.

Segments

The Company operates in only one business segment, namely the development of tennis management programs, tennis training programs, sales of tennis equipment and general services related to tennis.


- 24 -



Earnings Per Share

The Company is required to provide basic and dilutive earnings per common share information.

The basic net income per common share is computed by dividing the net earnings applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing the net income applicable to common stockholders, adjusted on an "as if converted" basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities.

For the period ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, there were no dilutive securities that would have had an anti-dilutive effect and all the shares outstanding were included in the calculation of diluted net income per common share.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”) and SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51(“SFAS 160”). SFAS No. 141R requires an acquirer to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired.  SFAS No. 160 clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The calculation of earnings per share will continue to be based on income amounts attributable to the parent. SFAS No. 141R and SFAS No. 160 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  Early adoption is prohibited.  The Company has not yet determined the effect on its financial statements, if any, upon adoption of SFAS No. 141R or SFAS No. 160.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 160

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 160, “Non-controlling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS 160”).  SFAS 160 requires the non-controlling interests (minority interests) to be recorded at fair value and reported as a component of equity.  SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  The Company does not anticipate adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its financial statements.


- 25 -

.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 161

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities including: (1) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (2) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations; and (3) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with earlier application encouraged. The Company has no derivative instruments so the adoption of SFAS 161 is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s financial statements and it does not intend to adopt this standard early.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 162

In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“FAS 162”). The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for nongovernmental entities in the United States. FAS 162 is effective 60 days following SEC approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of adopting FAS 162, on its Financial Statements

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 163

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60 (“SFAS 163”).  SFAS 163 clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement of premium revenue and claim liabilities.  This Statement also requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts.  SFAS 163 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS 163 will have a material impact on its financial statements.

NOTE   3 – Financial Condition and Going Concern

The Company’s financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company generated a net loss from its operations in 2008 because the major source of its revenues was dropped as an account in 2006.  It also sustained operating losses in prior years before obtaining this account.  Additionally, due to the 2008 net operating loss, the Company currently has a deficit in its stockholders’ equity account.  These factors raise substantial doubt as to its ability to obtain debt and/or equity financing and achieving future profitable operations.

- 26 -

Management intends to raise additional operating funds through equity and/or debt offerings.  However, there can be no assurance management will be successful in its endeavors.  Ultimately, the Company will need to achieve profitable operations in order to continue as a going concern.

There are no assurances that Thermal Tennis Inc. will be able to either (1) achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; or (2) obtain additional financing through either private placement, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support its working capital requirements.  To the extent that funds generated from operations and any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, the Company will have to raise additional working capital.  No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to Thermal Tennis Inc..  If adequate working capital is not available Thermal Tennis Inc. may be required to curtail its operations.

NOTE 4 – Income Taxes

Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 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. The application of income tax law is inherently complex. Laws and regulation in this area are voluminous and are often ambiguous. As such, we are required to make many subjective assumptions and judgments regarding the income tax exposures. Interpretations of and guidance surrounding income tax laws and regulations change over time. As such, changes in the subjective assumptions and judgments can materially affect amounts recognized in the balance sheets and statements of income.

At the adoption date of January 1, 2007, we had no unrecognized tax benefit, which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. There has been no significant change in the unrecognized tax benefit during the year ended December 31, 2008.

We classify interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the statement of income under general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2008, we had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The tax years 2008 and 2007 federal return remains open to examination.

Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

NOTE 6 - Related Party Transactions

The Company has advanced the President $6,020 in 2008 and $9,750 in 2007.  This loan is non-interest bearing and due upon demand.  The Company recognized $3,000 of expense in 2008 associated with this loan, which represented the value of the rent associated with the sole officers home office.  The President made principle payments to the Company totaling $730 and $3,400 in 2008 and 2007, respectively.

NOTE 7 – Stock Offering

The Company in January 2006 gave up its contracts and agreements with its two tennis related accounts and during 2006 have just concentrated on the commissions earned from the sale of ball machines.  Until the Company has completed the below listed offering and raised the required money to carry on the other activities, it is not seeking to renew or engage in any other tennis related contracts.

The Board of Directors has authorized a stock issuance totaling 600,000 shares of its common stock at $.25 per share.  The offering was filed under the Securities Act of 1933 or an exemption under the Act and became effective July 24, 2008.

The Company had incurred certain offering costs related to the above mentioned offering totaling $9,708.  These offering costs were written off against the initial proceeds from the offering.  It is expected that additional legal and accounting costs may be incurred in relation to the offering.  All capitalized deferred offering costs will be offset against any gross proceeds received.

During the last quarter of 2008, the Company had issued 79,000 shares of its common stock, which represented $19,750 of gross proceeds from the offering.

NOTE 8 – Subsequent Event

The Company has raised an additional $16,750 from the sale of 67,000 shares of its common stock in 2009.  The Company can raise an additional $113,500 through its offering mentioned above in Note 7.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None

Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were not effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A discussion of the material weaknesses in our controls and procedures is described below.
 
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. 

Our management, which consists primarily of Robert R. Deller, president and chief accounting officer, who is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Our management, including our sole executive and accounting officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008.  In making this assessment, our management used the COSO framework, an integrated framework for the evaluation of internal controls issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  Based on its evaluation, our management concluded that there are multiple material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.  A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The material weaknesses identified are primarily due to insufficient personnel in the finance department which results in an inability to provide effective oversight and review of financial transactions with regard to accumulating and compiling financial data in the preparation of financial statements.  The lack of sufficient personnel also results in a lack of segregation of duties and the accounting technical expertise necessary for an effective system of internal control.

- 31 -

We have begun to take steps to mitigate this material weakness to the fullest extent possible.  As soon as our finances allow, we plan on hiring additional finance staff and, where necessary, utilizing competent outside consultants to provide a layer of review and technical expertise that is currently lacking in our internal controls over financial reporting.

Based on our evaluation under the frameworks described above, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2008.

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 only management’s report in this annual report.

During the most recent quarter ended December 31, 2008, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) ) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9(B). Other Information.

None.

Code of Ethics

The Company adopted a Code of Ethics that is filed as exhibit 14.1 hereto.

Nominating Committee

We have not established a Nominating Committee because, due to our lack of substantial operations and the fact that we only have two directors and executive officers, we believe that we are able to effectively manage the issues normally considered by a Nominating Committee.

Audit Committee

EX-14.1 2 codeofethics.htm CODE OF ETHICS codeofethics.htm
CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS

INTRODUCTION

We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of honest and ethical business conduct, including ensuring full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable  disclosures in our public documents and reports, compliance with applicable laws, prompt internal reporting of violations of these standards and accountability for adherence to these standards.

This Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the "Code") reflects the business practices and principles of behavior that support this commitment.  We expect every employee, officer, and director to read, understand, and comply with the Code and its application to the performance of his or her business responsibilities.  References in the Code to employees are intended to cover officers and, as applicable, directors, managers and supervisors as well as employees.

Officers, managers and other supervisors are expected to develop in employees a sense of commitment to the spirit, as well as the letter, of the Code.  Supervisors are also expected to ensure that all agents and contractors conform to Code standards when working for or on behalf of the Company.  Nothing in the Code alters the employment at-will policy of the Company.

The Code cannot possibly describe every practice or principle related to honest and ethical conduct.  The Code addresses conduct that is particularly important to proper dealings with the people and entities with whom we interact, but reflects only a part of our commitment.

The following additional policies of the Company supplement or amplify the Code in certain areas and should be read in conjunction with the Code:

-          Action by members of your immediate family, significant others or other persons who live in your household also may potentially result in ethical issues to the extent that they involve the Company's business.  For example, acceptance of inappropriate gifts by a family member from one of our suppliers could create a conflict of interest and result in a Code violation attributable to you.  Consequently, in complying with the Code, you should consider not only your own conduct, but also that of your immediate family members, significant others and other persons who live in your household.

-          The integrity and reputation of the Company depends on the honesty, fairness and integrity brought to the job by each person associated with us.  It is the responsibility of each employee to apply common sense, together with his or her own highest personal ethical standards, in making business decisions where there is no stated guideline in the Code.  Unyielding personal integrity is the foundation of corporate integrity.  YOU SHOULD NOT HESITATE TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT WHETHER ANY CONDUCT MAY VIOLATE THE CODE, VOICE CONCERNS OR CLARIFY GRAY AREAS. SECTION 16 BELOW DETAILS THE COMPLIANCE RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO YOU.  IN ADDITION, YOU SHOULD BE ALERT TO POSSIBLE VIOLATIONS OF THE CODE BY OTHERS AND REPORT SUSPECTED VIOLATIONS, WITHOUT FEAR OF ANY FORM OF RETALIATION, AS FURTHER DESCRIBED IN SECTION 16.

-          Violations of the Code will not be tolerated.  Any employee who violates the standards in the Code may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment and, in appropriate cases, civil legal action or referral for criminal prosecution.

1.   LEGAL COMPLIANCE

Obeying the law, both in letter and in spirit, is the foundation of this Code.  Our success depends upon each employee's operating within legal guidelines and cooperating with local, national and international authorities.  It is therefore essential  that  you understand the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to your business unit and area of responsibility.  We will send employees to periodic training sessions to ensure that all employees comply with the relevant laws, rules and regulations associated with their employment, including laws prohibiting insider trading (which are discussed in further detail in Section 4 below).  While we do not expect you to memorize every detail of these laws, rules and regulations, we want you to be able to determine when to seek advice from others.  If you do have a question in the area of legal compliance, it is important that you not hesitate to seek answers from your supervisor or the Corporate Responsibility Officer (see Section 16).

Disregard of the law will not be tolerated.  Violation of domestic or foreign laws, rules and regulations may subject an individual as well as the Company to civil and/or criminal penalties.  You should be aware that conduct and records, including emails, are subject to internal and external audits and to discovery by third parties in the event of a government investigation or civil litigation.  It is in everyone's best interests to know and comply with our legal and ethical obligations.

2.   MISUSE OF COMPANY COMPUTER EQUIPMENT

You may not, while acting on behalf of the Company, or while using our computing or communications equipment or facilities, either:

-          Access the internal computer system (also known as "hacking") or other resource of another entity without express written authorization from the entity responsible for operating that resource;

-          Commit any unlawful or illegal act, including harassment, libel, fraud, sending of unsolicited bulk email (also known as "spam") in violation of applicable law, trafficking in contraband of any kind, or espionage.

If you receive authorization to access another entity's internal computer system, or other resource, you must make a permanent record of that authorization so that it may be retrieved for future reference and you may not exceed the scope of that authorization.

Unsolicited bulk email is regulated by law in a number of jurisdictions.  If you intend to send unsolicited bulk email to persons outside of the Company, either while acting on our behalf or using our computing or communications equipment or facilities, you should contact your supervisor or the Corporate Responsibility Officer for approval.

All data residing on or transmitted through our computing and communications facilities, including email and word processing documents, is the property of the Company and subject to inspection, retention and review by the Company in accordance with applicable law.

3.   ENVIRONMENT  COMPLIANCE

Federal law imposes criminal liability on any person or company that contaminates the environment with any hazardous substance that could cause injury to the community or environment.  Violation of environmental laws can be a criminal offense and can involve monetary fines and imprisonment.  We expect employees to comply with all applicable environmental laws.

It is our policy to conduct our business in an environmentally responsible way that minimizes environmental impacts.  We are committed to minimizing and, if possible, eliminating the use of any substance or material that may cause environmental damage, reducing waste generation and disposing of all waste through safe and responsible methods, minimizing environmental risks by employing safe technologies and operating procedures, and being prepared to respond appropriately to accidents and emergencies.

4.   INSIDER  TRADING

Employees who have access to confidential (or "inside") information are not permitted to use or share that information for stock trading purposes or for any other purpose except to conduct our business.  All non-public information about the Company or about companies with which we do business is considered confidential information.  To use material non-public information in connection with buying or selling securities, including "tipping" others who might make an investment decision on the basis of this information, is not only unethical, it is illegal.  Employees must exercise the utmost care when handling material inside information.

5.   INTERNATIONAL  BUSINESS  LAWS

Our employees are expected to comply with the applicable laws in all countries to which they travel, in which they operate and where we otherwise do business, including laws prohibiting bribery, corruption or the conduct of business with specified individuals, companies or countries.  The fact that in some countries certain laws are not enforced or that violation of those laws is not subject to public criticism will not be accepted as an excuse for noncompliance.  In addition, we expect employees to comply with U.S. laws, rules and regulations governing the conduct of business by its citizens and corporations outside the U.S.

These U.S. laws, rules and regulations, which extend to all our activities outside the U.S., include:

-          The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits directly or indirectly giving anything of value to a government official to obtain or retain business or favorable treatment, and requires the maintenance of accurate books of account, with all company transactions being properly recorded.

-          U.S. Embargoes, which restrict or, in some cases, prohibit companies, their subsidiaries and their employees from doing business with certain other countries identified on a list that changes periodically (including currently, for example, Angola (partial), Burma (partial), Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Sudan and Syria) or specific companies or individuals.

-          Export Controls, which restrict travel to designated countries or prohibit or restrict the export of goods, services and technology to designated countries, denied persons or denied entities from the U.S., or the re-export of U.S. origin goods from the country of original destination to such designated countries, denied companies or denied entities.

-          Anti-boycott Compliance, which prohibits U.S. companies from taking any action that has the effect of furthering or supporting a restrictive trade practice or boycott that is fostered or imposed by a foreign country against a country friendly to the U.S. or against any U.S. person.

If you have a question as to whether an activity is restricted or prohibited, seek assistance before taking any action, including giving any verbal assurances that might be regulated by international laws.


6.   CONFLICTS  OF  INTEREST

A "conflict of interest" occurs when an individual's personal interest may interfere in any way with the performance of his or her duties or the best interests of the Company.  A conflicting personal interest could result from an expectation of personal gain now or in the future or from a need to satisfy a prior or concurrent personal obligation.  We expect our employees to be free from influences that conflict with the best interests of the Company.  Even the appearance of a conflict of interest where none actually exists can be damaging and should be avoided.  Whether or not a conflict of interest exists or will exist can be unclear.  Conflicts of interest are prohibited unless specifically authorized as described below.

If you have any questions about a potential conflict, or if you become aware of an actual or potential conflict, and you are not an officer or director of the Company, you should discuss the matter with your supervisor or the Corporate Responsibility Officer (as further described in Section 16).  Supervisors may not authorize conflict of interest matters without first seeking the approval of the Corporate Responsibility Officer and filing with the Corporate Responsibility Officer a written description of the authorized activity.  If the supervisor is involved in the potential or actual conflict, you should discuss the matter directly with the Corporate Responsibility Officer.  Factors that may be considered in evaluating a potential conflict of interest are, among others:

-          Whether it may interfere with the employee's job performance, responsibilities or morale;

-          Whether the employee has access to confidential information;

-          Whether it may interfere with the job performance, responsibilities or morale of others within the organization;

-          Any potential adverse or beneficial impact on our business;

-          Any potential adverse or beneficial impact on our relationships with our customers or suppliers or other service providers;

-          Whether it would enhance or support a competitor's position;

-          The extent to which it would result in financial or other benefit (direct or indirect) to the employee;

-          The extent to which it would result in financial or other benefit (direct or indirect) to one of our customers, suppliers or other service providers;

-          The extent to which it would appear improper to an outside observer.

The following are examples of situations that may, depending on the facts and circumstances, involve conflicts of interests:

-          Employment by (including consulting for) or service on the board of a competitor, customer or supplier or other service provider.  Activity that enhances or supports the position of a competitor to the detriment of the Company is prohibited, including employment by or service on the board of a competitor.  Employment by or service on the board of a customer or supplier or other service provider is generally discouraged and you must seek authorization
in advance if you plan to take such action.

-          Owning, directly or indirectly, a significant financial interest in any entity that does business, seeks to do business or competes with us.  In addition to the factors described above, persons evaluating ownership for conflicts of interest will consider the size and nature of the investment; the nature of the relationship between the other entity and the Company; the employee's access to confidential information and the employee's ability to influence corporation decisions.  If you would like to acquire a financial interest of that kind, you must seek approval in advance.

-          Soliciting or accepting gifts, favors, loans or preferential treatment from any person or entity that does business or seeks to do business with us.  See Section 10 for further discussion of the issues involved in this type of conflict.

-          Soliciting contributions to any charity or for any political candidate from any person or entity that does business or seeks to do business with us.

-          Taking personal advantage of corporate opportunities.  See Section 7 for further discussion of the issues involved in this type of conflict.

-          Moonlighting without permission.

-          Conducting our business transactions with your family member, significant other or person who shares your household or a business in which you have a significant financial interest.

-          Exercising supervisory or other authority on behalf of the Company, over a co-worker who is also a family member.

-          Loans to, or guarantees of obligations of, employees or their family members by the Company could constitute an improper personal benefit to the recipients of these loans or guarantees, depending on the facts and circumstances.  Some loans are expressly prohibited by law and applicable law requires that our Board of Directors approve all loans and guarantees to employees.

7.  CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES

You may not take personal advantage of opportunities that are presented to you or discovered by you as a result of your position with us, or through your use of corporate property or information, unless authorized by your supervisor or the Corporate Responsibility Officer.  Even opportunities that are acquired privately by you may be questionable if they are related to our existing or proposed lines of business.  Participation in an investment or outside business opportunity that is related to our existing or proposed lines of business must be pre-approved.  You cannot use your position with us or corporate property or information for improper personal gain, nor can you compete with us in any way.

8.   MAINTENANCE OF CORPORATE BOOKS, RECORDS, DOCUMENTS AND ACCOUNTS;
      FINANCIAL INTEGRITY; PUBLIC  REPORTING

The integrity of our records and public disclosure depends on the validity, accuracy and completeness of the information supporting the entries to our books of account.  Therefore, our corporate and business records should be completed accurately and honestly.  The making of false or misleading entries, whether they relate to financial results or test results, is strictly prohibited.  Our records serve as a basis for managing our business and are important in meeting our obligations to customers, suppliers, creditors, employees and others with whom we do business.  As a result, it is important that our books, records and accounts accurately and fairly reflect, in reasonable detail, our assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, as well as all transactions and changes in assets and liabilities.

We require that:

-          No entry be made in our books and records that intentionally hides or disguises the nature of any transaction or of any of our liabilities, or misclassifies any transactions as to accounts or accounting periods;

-          Transactions be supported by appropriate documentation;

-          The terms of sales and other commercial transactions be reflected accurately in the documentation for those transactions and all such documentation be reflected accurately in our books and records;

-          Employees comply with our system of internal controls;

-          No cash or other assets be maintained for any purpose in any unrecorded or "off-the-books" fund.

Our accounting records are also relied upon to produce reports for our management, stockholders and creditors, as well as for governmental agencies.  In particular, we rely upon our accounting and other business and corporate records in preparing the periodic and current reports that we file with the SEC.  These reports must provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure and fairly present our financial condition and results of operations.  Employees who collect, provide or analyze information for or otherwise contribute in any way in preparing or verifying these reports should strive to ensure that our financial disclosure is accurate and transparent and that our reports contain all of the information about the Company that would be important to enable stockholders and potential investors to assess the soundness and risks of our business and finances and the quality and integrity of our accounting and disclosures.

In addition:

-          No employee may take or authorize any action that would cause our financial records or financial disclosure to fail to comply with generally accepted accounting principles, the rules and regulations of the SEC or other applicable laws, rules and regulations;

-          All employees must cooperate fully with our Accounting, as well as our independent public accountants and counsel, respond to their questions with candor and provide them with complete and accurate information to help ensure that our books and records, as well as our reports filed with the SEC, are accurate  and  complete;

-          No employee should knowingly make (or cause or encourage any other person to make) any false or misleading statement in any of our reports filed with the SEC or knowingly omit (or cause or encourage any other person to omit) any information necessary to make the disclosure in any of our reports accurate in all material respects.

Any employee who becomes aware of any departure from these standards has a responsibility to report his or her knowledge promptly to a supervisor, the Corporate Responsibility Officer or one of the other compliance resources described in Section 16.

9.   FAIR  DEALING

We strive to outperform our competition fairly and honestly.  Advantages over our competitors are to be obtained through superior performance of our products and services, not through unethical or illegal business practices.  Acquiring proprietary information from others through improper means, possessing trade secret information that was improperly obtained, or inducing improper disclosure of confidential information from past or present employees of other companies is prohibited, even if motivated by an intention to advance our interests.  If information is obtained by mistake that may constitute a trade secret or other confidential information of another business, or if you have any questions about the legality of proposed information gathering, you must consult your supervisor or the Corporate Responsibility Officer, as further described in Section 16.

You are expected to deal fairly with our customers, suppliers, employees and anyone else with whom you have contact in the course of performing your job.  No employee may take unfair advantage of anyone through misuse of confidential information, misrepresentation of material facts or any other unfair dealing practice.

Employees involved in procurement have a special responsibility to adhere to principles of fair competition in the purchase of products and services by selecting suppliers based exclusively on normal commercial considerations, such as quality, cost, availability, service and reputation, and not on the receipt of special favors.

10.  GIFTS AND ENTERTAINMENT

Business entertainment and gifts are meant to create goodwill and sound working relationships and not to gain improper with customers or facilitate approvals from government officials.  Unless express permission is received from a supervisor or the Corporate Responsibility Officer, entertainment and gifts cannot be offered, provided or accepted by any employee unless consistent with customary business practices and not (a) excessive in value, (b) in cash, (c) susceptible of being construed as a bribe or kickback or (d) in violation of any laws.  This principle applies to our transactions everywhere in the world, even where the practice is widely considered "a way of doing business."  Under some statutes, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (further described in Section 5), giving anything of value to a government official to obtain or retain business or favorable treatment is a criminal act subject to prosecution and conviction.  Discuss with your supervisor or the Corporate Responsibility Officer any proposed entertainment or gifts if you are uncertain about their appropriateness.

11.  ANTITRUST

Antitrust laws are designed to protect the competitive process.  These laws generally prohibit:

-          Agreements, formal or informal, with competitors that harm competition or customers, including price fixing and allocations of customers, territories or contracts;

-          Agreements, formal or informal, that establish or fix the price at which a customer may resell a product;

-          The acquisition or maintenance of a monopoly or attempted monopoly through anti-competitive conduct.

Certain kinds of information, such as pricing, production and inventory, should not be exchanged with competitors, regardless of how innocent or casual the exchange may be and regardless of the setting, whether business or social.

Understanding the requirements of antitrust and unfair competition laws of the various jurisdictions where we do business can be difficult, and you are urged to seek assistance from your supervisor or the Corporate Responsibility Officer whenever you have a question relating to these laws.

12.  PROTECTION AND PROPER USE OF COMPANY ASSETS

All employees are expected to protect our assets and ensure their efficient use.  Theft, carelessness and waste have a direct impact on our profitability.  Our property, such as laboratory equipment, office equipment, office supplies and computer equipment, are expected to be used only for legitimate business purposes, although incidental personal use may be permitted.  Employees should be mindful of the fact that we retain the right to access, review, monitor and disclose any information transmitted, received or stored using our electronic equipment, with or without an employee's or third party's knowledge, consent or approval.  Any misuse or suspected misuse of our assets must be immediately reported to your supervisor or the Corporate Responsibility Officer.

13.  CONFIDENTIALITY

One of our most important assets is our confidential information.  Employees who have received or have access to confidential information should take care to keep this information confidential.  Confidential information may include business, marketing and service plans, financial information, product architecture, source codes, engineering and manufacturing ideas, designs, databases, customer lists, pricing strategies, personnel data, personally identifiable information pertaining to our employees, customers or other individuals (including, for example, names, addresses, telephone numbers and social security numbers), and similar types of information provided to us by our customers, suppliers and partners.  This information may be protected by patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws.

Except when disclosure is authorized or legally mandated, you must not share our or our suppliers' or customers' confidential information with third parties or others within the Company, who have no legitimate business purpose for receiving that information.  Doing so would constitute a violation of the employment agreement that you signed upon joining us.  Unauthorized use or distribution of this information could also be illegal and result in civil liability and/or criminal penalties.

You should also take care not to inadvertently disclose confidential information.  Materials that contain confidential information, such as memos, notebooks, computer disks and laptop computers should be stored securely.  Unauthorized posting or discussion of any information concerning our business, information or prospects on the Internet is prohibited.  You may not discuss our business, information or prospects in any "chat room," regardless of whether you use your own name or a pseudonym.  Be cautious when discussing sensitive information in public places like elevators, airports, restaurants and "quasi-public" areas within the Company.  All Company e-mails, voicemails, and other communications are presumed confidential and should not be forwarded or otherwise disseminated outside of the Company, except where required for
legitimate business purposes.

In addition to the above responsibilities, if you are handling information protected by any privacy policy published by us, then you must handle that information solely in accordance with the applicable policy.

14.  MEDIA/PUBLIC  DISCUSSIONS

It is our policy to disclose material information concerning the Company to the public only through specific limited channels to avoid inappropriate publicity and to ensure that all those with an interest in the Company will have equal access to information.  All inquiries or calls from the press and financial analysts should be referred to the CEO, President or the investor relations department.  We have designated our CEO, President and CFO as our official spokespersons for financial matters.  We have designated our CEO and President as our official spokespersons for marketing, technical and other related information.  Unless a specific exception has been made by the CEO, President or CFO, these designees are the only people who may communicate with the press on behalf of the Company.

15.  WAIVERS

Any waiver of this Code for executive officers (including, where required by applicable laws, our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller (or persons performing similar functions)) or directors may be authorized only by our Board of Directors or a committee of the Board and will be disclosed to stockholders as required by applicable laws, rules and regulations.

16.  
COMPLIANCE STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES, COMPLIANCE RESOURCES

To facilitate compliance with this Code, we have established the position of Corporate Responsibility Officer to oversee this program.  The Corporate Responsibility Officer is a person to whom you can address any questions or concerns.  We will keep all applicable persons informed as to the identity of and the contact information for the Corporate Responsibility Officer.

In addition to fielding questions or concerns with respect to potential violations of this Code, the Corporate Responsibility Officer is responsible for:

-          Investigating possible violations of the Code;

-         Training new employees in Code policies;

-          Conducting annual training sessions to refresh employees' familiarity with the Code;

-          Distributing copies of the Code annually to each employee with a reminder that each employee is responsible for reading, understanding and complying with the Code;

-          Updating the Code as needed and alerting  employees to any updates, with appropriate approval of the Board of Directors, to reflect changes in the law, the Company's operations and in recognized best practices, and to reflect the Company's experience;

-          Otherwise promoting an atmosphere of responsible and ethical conduct.

Your most immediate resource for any matter related to the Code is your supervisor.  He or she may have the information you need, or may be able to refer the question to another appropriate source.  There may, however, be times when you prefer not to go to your supervisor.  In these instances, you should feel free to discuss your concern with the Corporate Responsibility Officer.

CLARIFYING QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS; REPORTING POSSIBLE VIOLATIONS

If you encounter a situation or are considering a course of action and its appropriateness is unclear, discuss the matter promptly with your supervisor or the Corporate Responsibility Officer; even the appearance of impropriety can be very damaging and should be avoided.

If you are aware of a suspected or actual violation of Code standards by others, you have a responsibility to report it.  You are expected to promptly provide a compliance resource with a specific description of the violation that you believe has occurred, including any information you have about the persons involved and the time of the violation.  Whether you choose to speak with your supervisor or the Corporate Responsibility Officer, you should do so without fear of any form of retaliation.  We will take prompt disciplinary action against any employee who retaliates against you, up to and including termination of employment.

Supervisors must promptly report any complaints or observations of Code violations to the Corporate Responsibility Officer.  The Corporate Responsibility Officer will investigate all reported possible Code violations promptly and with the highest degree of confidentiality that is possible under the specific circumstances.  Your cooperation in the investigation will be expected.  As needed, the Corporate Responsibility Officer will consult with the Board of Directors.

If the investigation indicates that a violation of the Code has probably occurred, we will take such action as we believe to be appropriate under the circumstances.  If we determine that an employee is responsible for a Code violation, he or she will be subject to disciplinary action up to, and including, termination of employment and, in appropriate cases, civil action or referral for criminal prosecution.  Appropriate action may also be taken to deter any future Code violations.
