PART I
Item 1. Business
Business
Thermal Tennis Inc. (“Thermal”) 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.
The Company has limited history due to a lapse in revenue from 2001 to 2003 and from 2006 to early 2009. The Company was resurrected with full time management and emphasis on new growth. Mr. Deller, the sole officer 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 obtained its first new contract in 2009. The contract is with a club that it managed the tennis program for in the past. During the last three years of the contract, it has produced $106,396, $92,526 and $98,353 in gross revenues. The gross profit has been minimal in all three years, but the Company expects it will improve as it refines the programs offered and increases memberships, lessons, clinics and tournaments.
The Company has bid on seasonal facilities beginning each summer that 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 additional 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 has been employing University tennis team athletes for summer programs and other functions under its contract in the past few years. Employees are 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 and other athletic complexes.
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.
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

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.
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 a part-time employee of Thermal Tennis for the past fiscal year. All other workers engaged to fulfill the Company’s current contract have been hired on an outside contractor basis. 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, 2011, 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, 2011 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, 2011 of $34,480, 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 that began in July 2008 and was closed in July 2010. 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. Even with the new contract and the revenues and cash flows from it, they are not enough to cover the next years cash requirements and outflows.
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.
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.
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 in the near future. 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 re-mediate 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 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.

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 45, 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.
Item 6. Selected Financial Data.
Not required for smaller reporting companies.
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS.
This form 10-K contains forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain as they are based on current expectations and assumptions concerning future events or future performance of the Company. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. Forward-looking statements usually contain the words "estimate," "anticipate," "believe," "expect," or similar expressions, and are subject to numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties. In evaluating such statements, prospective investors should carefully review various risks and uncertainties identified in this Report, including the matters set forth in the Company's other SEC filings. These risks and uncertainties could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward- looking statements. 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. Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this prospectus. We will file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). We shall make available, free of charge, our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such materials with or furnish them to the SEC. You can read and copy any materials we file with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20549. You can obtain additional information about the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800- SEC-0330. In addition, the SEC maintains an Internet site (www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC, including us.
We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this annual filing. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made throughout the entirety of this quarterly report, which attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
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 generated significant revenues during this period and we have realized a net loss from operations. We generated revenues in 2011 of $106,396 versus $92,526 for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company had no revenues from commissions on the sale of the ball machines. The Company’s net loss during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $36,440 and $31,571. Until additional clients are obtained, the Company expects that it will continue to generate operating losses.
The cost of sales for 2011 was $98,007 versus $86,312 for 2010. The gross profit was $8,389 for 2011 versus $6,214 for 2010. The current operations provided minimal cash flows to cover its general and administrative expenses. Therefore, even though gross revenues increased the gross profit is far below the levels to cover the general administration of the company.
General and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $38,110 and $33,406, respectively. The major increase in the general and administrative expenses were due to additional costs related to the change in reporting requirements and professional fees incurred in the attempt to list the company’s securities onto the OTC Markets. We filed an S-1 during 2008 and it became effective July 24, 2008. We expected that these offering proceeds would have satisfied our cash requirements for at least a year and that it would not have been necessary, during that period, to raise additional funds to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, certain parties have lent $38,000 in 2011, $6,000 in 2010, $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, 2011, we had total cash assets of $5,850, which was derived from operations, the loans made to the company and proceeds from the offering. We had total current liabilities of $103,209 and working capital deficit of $95,780, and a stockholders' deficit of $107,780 as of December 31, 2011. Deficits accumulated during the history of the company have totaled $146,784. 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.
At December 31, 2011 the Company had minimal operations and was still seeking capital through a stock offering or the obtaining of additional debt in order to continue current operations. At December 31, 2011 and through the date of this filing, the Company has yet to obtain any other commitments for additional funding. In the year ended December 31, 2011 the Company received $38,000 in proceeds from debt, during the year ended December 31, 2010 the Company received $6,000 in proceeds from debt, during the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company received $10,000 in proceeds from debt. The Company received $1,000 in 2010, $23,250 in 2009 and $19,750 in 2008 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, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for each of the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Thermal Tennis, 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, and its total liabilities exceed its total assets. This raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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 uncollectible 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. The Company reserved $1,710 and $2,463 as a bad debt reserve for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, Pre Codification SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, which provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The standard also expands disclosures about instruments measured at fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets;
Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
Level 3 — Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
The Company designates cash equivalents (consisting of money market funds) and investments in securities of publicly traded companies as Level 1. The total amount of the Company’s investment classified as Level 3 is de minimis.
The fair value of the Company’s debt as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, approximated fair value at those times.
Fair value of financial instruments: The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payables approximated fair value as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 because of the relative short term nature of these instruments. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the fair value of the Company’s debt approximates carrying value.
Shares for Services and Other Assets
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation based on the fair value of all option grants or stock issuances made to employees or directors on or after its implementation date, as well as a portion of the fair value of each option and stock grant made to employees or directors prior to the implementation date that represents the unvested portion of these share-based awards as of such implementation date, to be recognized as an expense, as codified in ASC 718. The Company calculates stock option-based compensation by estimating the fair value of each option as of its date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. These amounts are expensed over the respective vesting periods of each award using the straight-line attribution method. Compensation expense is recognized only for those awards that are expected to vest, and as such, amounts have been reduced by estimated forfeitures.
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 earned from tennis lessons, sales of ball machines and other related services.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach. This process involves calculating the temporary and permanent differences between the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which would be recorded on the Company’s balance sheets in accordance with ASC 740, which established financial accounting and reporting standards for the effect of income taxes. The Company must assess the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent the Company believes that recovery is not likely, the Company must establish a valuation allowance. Changes in the Company’s valuation allowance in a period are recorded through the income tax provision on the consolidated statements of operations.
On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted ASC 740-10 (formerly known as FIN No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes). ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740-10, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, ASC 740-10 provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10, the Company recognized no material adjustment in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits.
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.
Earnings Per Share
The Company is required to provide basic and dilutive earnings per common share information.
The basic net loss 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, 2011 and 2010, 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
In April 2011, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement which clarifies when a loan modification or restructuring is considered a troubled debt restructuring. The new pronouncement also requires new disclosures relating to troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). The guidance is effective for the first interim period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. For purposes of measuring impairment on newly-considered impaired receivables an entity should apply the guidance prospectively. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on Thermal’s financial condition and results of operations.
In May 2011, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement which amends the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements to achieve common disclosure requirements between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The accounting pronouncement requires certain disclosures about transfers between level 1 and level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, sensitivity of fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, and categorization by level of items that are reported at cost but are required to be disclosed at fair value. The disclosures are to be applied prospectively effective in the first interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on Thermal’s financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement that requires all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity to be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Under the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive income. The pronouncement should be applied retrospectively effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on Thermal’s financial statements.
In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting pronouncement to simplify how an entity tests goodwill for impairment by permitting an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. Under previous guidance an entity was required to test goodwill for impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value was less than its carrying amount, then the second step of the test was performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss. Under the new accounting pronouncement an entity is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The pronouncement is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on Thermal’s financial statements.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2011-11). This newly issued accounting standard requires an entity to disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position as well as instruments and transactions executed under a master netting or similar arrangement and was issued to enable users of financial statements to understand the effects or potential effects of those arrangements on its financial position. This ASU is required to be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013. As this accounting standard only requires enhanced disclosure, the adoption of this standard is not expected to have an impact our financial position or results of operations.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA"), and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present 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 2011, the Company has a Accumulated Deficit, and a Stockholders’ Deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt as to its ability to obtain debt and/or equity financing and achieving future profitable operations.
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 ASC 740-10 (formerly known as FIN No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes). ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements. ASC 740-10 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, 2011.
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, 2011, we had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The tax years 2008-2011 federal returns remain 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.
The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 consists of the following:

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, 2011. 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.
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, 2011.
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, 2011, 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.
