These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those described above and those risks discussed from time to time in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the risks described under “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this report and in other documents which we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report.
This Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
BACKGROUND AND CORPORATE INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
FIRST LEVEL ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, INC. (“THE COMPANY”) is a development stage company, incorporated in the State of Florida on June 2, 2008 and commenced operations on July 31, 2010 with the acquisition of thirty-five (35) children’s original songs having each song recorded in over two-hundred (200) individual children’s names.
In August, 2011, we filed Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Florida which:
| · | changed the name of the corporation to First Level Entertainment Group, Inc. |
|
|
|
| · | increased the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 shares to 500,000,000 shares and fixed a par value of $0.001 per share, |
|
|
|
| · | authorized a class of 10,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, and |
|
|
|
| · | included indemnification provisions customary under Florida law, as well as election not to be governed by the provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act governing affiliated transactions and an election to be governed by the provisions related to control share acquisitions. |
In August, 2011, we elected Russ Regan as our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors. Additionally, we elected Alfred Fernandez (our former sole officer and director) as our Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and a Board of Director member.
In April, 2012, Russ Regan, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, resigned and in April, 2012, the following Officers and Directors were elected:
- 2 -
Name |
| Position |
|
|
|
Steve Adelstein |
| Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors |
Alfred Fernandez |
| Chief Financial Officer and Director |
Steven Berman |
| Chief Operating Officer and Director |
In April, 2012, newly elected management decided to focus on social networking applications including mobile and children’s original music.
We have not generated any revenues to date and our activities have been limited to developing our Business Plan. We will not have the necessary capital to develop our Business Plan until we are able to secure financing and funding from the proceeds of our common stock offering. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available on suitable terms. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis Plan of Operations” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources.” We have no revenues, have achieved losses since inception, have no operation and have been issued a going concern opinion, we must rely upon the sale of our securities to funds operations.
The following description of our business is intended to provide an understanding of our Company and the direction of our strategy.
STRATEGY AND SERVICE
Strategy and Products
We believe that there is a strong potential in the specific areas of mobile applications and children’s intellectual properties. The following will summarize our strategy and products:
| · | Mobile Applications |
We are attempting to become an innovator in the emerging mobile applications software market through multiple platforms and concepts. We will act as an incubator for technology and attempt to develop unique mobile applications that have economic potential.
| · | Children’s Music |
Our music library consists of our thirty-five (35) songs, having personalization for approximately 200 children’s names, being marketed in three (3) primary formats consisting of Compact Disc (CD), Video (DVD) and MP3 (Direct Download). The present strategy of marketing these products to the end user (the consumer’s point of purchase) is through the efforts of independent distributors specializing in marketing these types of formats. The ultimate consumer will be able to purchase our products through the normal source of physical retailers allowing the consumer to purchase inventories of our CD/DVD products and ecommerce through the internet via direct downloads.
Sales and Marketing
We intend to develop certain selected mobile applications, beta test them and ultimately, market through the internet. Additionally, we intend to employ a consultant whose responsibility will be to visit independent distributors and other merchants throughout the United States and foreign territories to market our children’s intellectual properties and products.
Advertising
We intend to advertise in trade journals, children’s consumer magazines, and various web portals in the future. We will also seek to enter into strategic arrangements with businesses that we feel are complementary to our business. We believe that we will also gain interest from other web sites, trade journals and consumer magazines for public relations.
MANAGEMENT
It is intended that our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer will provide all the labor for the company initially. As our products are developed, we intend on hiring either employees or using independent contractors as sales growth demands.
- 3 -
COMPETITION
There are many competitors for similar products and most (if not all) have more experience and are substantially better financed than us. We believe the most effective way to be successful against this competition is a combination of quality products reasonably priced and providing exceptional customer service.
STAFFING
At August 31, 2012, the Company had three (3) staff members with executed agreements.
As of October 15, 2012, FIRST LEVEL ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, INC. has one (1) permanent staff member, Steve Berman, our Chief Operating Officer. Our two (2) other staff members, Chief Executive Officer, Steve Adelstein and our Chief Financial Officer, Alfred Fernandez, have the flexibility to work on FIRST LEVEL ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, INC. up to 20 hours per week. Our Chief Operating Officer and Chief Executive Officer are prepared to devote more time to our operations as may be required.
EMPLOYEES AND EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
At present, FIRST LEVEL ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, INC. has employment agreements with our three (3) executive officers: Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The company presently does not have, pension, health, annuity, insurance, stock options, profit sharing, or similar benefit plans; however, the company may adopt plans in the future.
During the initial implementation of our marketing strategy, the company intends to hire independent consultants to develop, produce and market its products, rather than hire full time development, consulting, marketing and administrative employees.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
This section of the filing of the Form 10-K for the period ended August 31, 2012 includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: “believe”, “expect”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “project” and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this prospectus. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.
We are a development stage company and have not yet generated or realized any revenues from business operations. Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve (12) months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we begin marketing our products to customers. Accordingly, we must raise cash from sources other than revenues generated such as from the proceeds of loans, sale of common shares and advances from related parties.
From inception of operations to August 31, 2012, the company’s business operations have primarily been focused on developing our business plan and obtaining market research.
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY; NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAPITAL
There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. FIRST LEVEL ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, INC. was incorporated in the State of Florida in June, 2008 and commenced operations in July, 2010; we are a development stage company attempting to enter the production, development and marketing of mobile applications and children’s music products. We have not generated any revenues from our operations and we cannot guarantee the success in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including the financial risks associated with the limited capital resources currently available to us for the implementation of our business strategies. (See “Risk Factors”). To become profitable and competitive, we must develop the business and marketing plans for execution. An affiliated entity of our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors undertakes to provide us with initial operating capital to sustain our business plan over the next twelve (12) month period partially through loans, advances from related parties and sale of our securities. We will also seek alternative financing through means such as borrowings from institutions, private individuals and other lenders.
- 4 -
PLAN OF OPERATION
Since inception (June 2, 2008) and commencement of operations (July 31, 2010) to August 31, 2012, FIRST LEVEL ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, INC. has spent a total of $1,360,015 on the start-up development costs and we have not generated any revenue from business operations.
The company incurred expenditures from July 31, 2010 through August 31, 2012 of $32,087 for accounting services, the preparation of audited consolidated financial statements, tax returns, filings and legal services; expenditures for general administrative costs, $22,784 and consultants in the amount of $675,420.
Since inception, the majority of the company’s time has been spent refining its business plan, conceiving and developing its mobile applications, marketing, conducting industry research, and preparing for additional financing and funding of operations.
OUR CHALLENGES
Our ability to successfully operate our business and achieve our goals and strategies is subject to numerous challenges and risks as discussed more fully in the section titled “Risk Factors,” including for example:
| · | any inability to effectively manage rapid growth and accurately project market demand for our product offerings; |
|
|
|
| · | risks associated with future investments or acquisitions; |
|
|
|
| · | economic, political, regulatory, legal and foreign exchange risks associated with web-based enterprises; |
|
|
|
| · | any loss of key members of our senior management; and, |

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The Company considers the following to be the material risks for an investor. First Level Entertainment Group, Inc. should be viewed as a high-risk investment and speculative in nature.
AN INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON STOCK MAY RESULT IN A COMPLETE LOSS OF THE INVESTED AMOUNT.
If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and 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 all or part of your investment. FIRST LEVEL ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, INC. SHOULD BE VIEWED AS A HIGH-RISK INVESTMENT AND SPECULATIVE IN NATURE. An investment in our common stock may result in a complete loss of the invested amount. Please consider the following risk factors before deciding to invest in our common stock.
THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE ABILITY OF FIRST LEVEL ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, INC. TO CONTINUE ITS OPERATIONS AS A GOING CONCERN - AUDITOR’S GOING CONCERN.
In their audit report for the period ended August 31, 2012; our auditors have expressed an opinion that substantial doubt exists as to whether we can continue as an ongoing business. Because our officers may be unwilling or unable to loan or advance any additional capital to First Level Entertainment Group, Inc. we believe that if we do not raise additional capital, we may be required to suspend or cease the implementation of our business plans. As such we may have to cease operations. Because the Company has been issued an opinion by its auditors that substantial doubt exists as to whether it can continue as a going concern it may be more difficult to attract investors, borrow funds or raise additional capital.
SINCE FIRST LEVEL ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, INC. ANTICIPATES OPERATING EXPENSES WILL INCREASE PRIOR GENERATING SIGNIFICANT REVENUES, IT MAY NEVER ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY – RISKS RELATED TO OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION.
The Company anticipates an increase in its operating expenses, without realizing any revenues from the sale of its products.
There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that the Company will prove successful. We cannot provide investors with any assurance that our products will attract customers; generate any operating revenue or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unable to address these risks, there is a high probability that our business can fail, which will result in the loss of your entire investment.
SHOULD OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS LEAVE THE COMPANY, WE MAY BE UNABLE TO CONTINUE OUR OPERATIONS.
The company is entirely dependent on the efforts and abilities of its officers and directors. The loss of our officers and directors could have a material adverse effect on the business and its prospects. The company believes that all commercially reasonable efforts have been made to minimize the risks attendant the departure from service of our current sole officers and directors. However, replacement personnel may be unavailable to us. Moreover, even if available, replacement personnel may not enable the company to operate profitably.
All decisions regarding the management of the company’s affairs will be made exclusively by its officers and directors. Purchasers of the offered shares may not participate in the management of the company and, therefore, are dependent upon the management abilities of the company’s officers and directors. The only assurance that the shareholders of the company (including purchasers of the offered shares) have that the company’s officers and directors will not abuse her discretion in making decisions, with respect to its affairs and other business decisions, is their fiduciary obligations and business integrity.
Accordingly, no person should purchase shares unless that person is willing to entrust all aspects of management to the company’s officers and directors, or their successors. Potential purchasers of the shares must carefully evaluate the personal experience and business performance of the company’s management.
- 6 -
The company’s management may retain independent contractors to provide services to the company. Those contractors have no fiduciary duty to the shareholders of the company and may not perform as expected. The company does not maintain key person life insurance on its officers and directors.
OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL IF WE DO NOT OBTAIN ADEQUATE FINANCING, RESULTING IN THE COMPLETE LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT.
If we are not successful in earning revenue once we have started our sale activities, we may require additional financing to sustain our business operations. Currently, we do not have any arrangements for financing and can provide no assurances to investors that we will be able to obtain any when required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including the Company’s sales results. These factors may have an effect on the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing and make such additional financing unavailable to us. See “Description of Business.”
No assurance can be given that the Company will obtain access to capital markets in the future or that adequate financing to satisfy the cash requirements of implementing our business strategies will be available on acceptable terms. The inability of the Company to gain access to capital markets or obtain acceptable financing could have a material adverse effect upon the results of its operations and its financial conditions.
AS OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS HAVE OTHER OUTSIDE BUSINESS ACTIVITIES, THEY MAY BE UNABLE TO DEVOTE A MAJORITY OF THEIR TIME TO THE COMPANY. AS A RESULT, THERE MAY BE PERIODIC INTERRUPTIONS IN OUR OPERATIONS AND OUR BUSINESS COULD FAIL.
Our officers and directors have other outside business activities and are devoting only approximately 15-20 hours per week to our operations. Our operations may be sporadic and occur at times which are not convenient, which may result in periodic interruptions or suspensions of our business plan. If the demands of the company’s business require the full time of our executive officer, they are prepared to adjust their timetable in order to devote more time to conducting our business operations. However, they may be unable to devote sufficient time to the management of the company’s business, which may result in periodic interruptions in the implementation of the company’s business plans and operations. Such delays could have a significant negative effect on the success of our business. Given the early stage of development of our company and our need to develop, commercialize and market products incorporating our technology, greater time devotion by our officers and directors might accelerate our development and revenue production.
The company is entirely dependent on the efforts and abilities of its officers and directors. The loss of our officers and directors could have a material adverse effect on the business and its prospects. The company believes that all commercially reasonable efforts have been made to minimize the risks attendant the departure from service of our current officers and directors. However, replacement personnel may be unavailable to us. Moreover, even if available, replacement personnel may not enable the company to operate profitably.
All decisions regarding the management of the company’s affairs will be made exclusively by its officers and directors. Purchasers of the offered shares may not participate in the management of the company and, therefore, are dependent upon the management abilities of the company’s officers and directors. The only assurance that the shareholders of the company (including purchasers of the offered shares) have that the company’s officers and directors will not abuse their discretion in making decisions, with respect to its affairs and other business decisions, is their fiduciary obligations and business integrity. Accordingly, no person should purchase offered shares unless that person is willing to entrust all aspects of management to the company’s officers and directors, or their successors.
The company’s management may retain independent contractors to provide services to the company. Those contractors have no fiduciary duty to the shareholders of the company and may not perform as expected. The company does not maintain key person life insurance on its officers and directors.
IF WE EXPAND OUR OPERATIONS AND FAIL TO MANAGE THE RESULTING GROWTH EFFECTIVELY, OUR BUSINESS WILL BE HARMED.
Our plans including developing and marketing several products may not occur. Our growth strategy is subject to significant risks which you should carefully consider before purchasing shares.
Although we plan on researching our market carefully, we may be slow to achieve profitability, or may not become profitable at all, which will result in losses. There can be no assurance that we will succeed.

FIRST LEVEL ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, INC. EXPECTS TO APPLY FOR QUOTATION ON AN EXCHANGE AND/OR THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD (OTCBB), WE MAY NOT BE APPROVED, AND EVEN IF APPROVED, WE MAY NOT BE APPROVED FOR TRADING ON THE OTCBB; THEREFORE SHAREHOLDERS MAY NOT HAVE A MARKET TO SELL THEIR SHARES, EITHER IN THE NEAR TERM OR IN THE LONG TERM, OR BOTH.
We expect to apply for a listing on an Exchange and/or the OTC Bulletin Board, we may not be approved to trade on an Exchange and/or the OTCBB, and we may not meet the requirements for listing on an Exchange and/or the OTCBB. If we do not meet the requirements, our stock may then not be listed or traded and the market for resale of our shares would decrease dramatically, if not be eliminated.
AS WE CURRENTLY HAVE NO MARKET FOR OUR SHARES, SHAREHOLDERS MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL THEIR SHARES. EVEN IF A MARKET SHOULD DEVELOP, THE PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE AND SHAREHOLDERS MAY LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.
Further, even if a market develops, our common stock will be subject to price fluctuations and volatility.
The company cannot apply directly to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Additionally, the stock can be listed or traded only to the extent that there is interest by broker/dealers in acting as a market maker in the company’s stock. Despite the company’s best efforts, the company may not be able to convince any broker/dealers to act as market-makers and make quotations on the OTC Bulletin Board. It is the company’s intent to contact potential market makers for the OTC Bulletin Board after it has completed its primary offering.
IN THE EVENT THAT THE COMPANY’S SHARES ARE TRADED, THEY MAY TRADE UNDER $5.00 PER SHARE AND THUS WILL BE A PENNY STOCK. TRADING IN PENNY STOCKS HAS MANY RESTRICTIONS AND THESE RESTRICTIONS COULD SEVERELY AFFECT THE PRICE AND LIQUIDITY OF THE COMPANY’S SHARES.
In the event our shares are traded, and our stock trades below $5.00 per share our stock would be known as a “penny stock” which is subject to various regulations involving disclosures to be given to you prior to purchase of any penny stock. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Depending on market fluctuations, our common stock could be considered to be a “penny stock”. A penny stock is subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell the securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors.
For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of these securities. In addition he must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. He must also provide certain written disclosures to the purchaser. Consequently, the “penny stock” rules may restrict the ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities, and may negatively affect the ability of holders of shares of our common stock to resell them. These disclosures require you to acknowledge you understand the risk associated with buying penny stocks and that you can absorb the entire loss of your investment. Penny stocks are low priced securities that do not have a very high trading volume. Consequently, the price of the stock is oftentimes volatile and you may not be able to buy or sell the stock when you want.
INVESTORS WILL PAY MORE FOR “FIRST LEVEL ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, INC.” COMMON STOCK THAN THE PRO RATA PORTION OF OUR ASSETS ARE WORTH; AS A RESULT INVESTING IN THE COMMON STOCK MAY RESULT IN AN IMMEDIATE LOSS.
The price and other terms and conditions relative to the Company’s shares have been arbitrarily determined by the Company and do not bear any relationship to assets, earnings, book value or any other objective criteria of value. Additionally, as the Company was formed recently and has only a limited operating history and no earnings, the price of the offered shares is not based on its past earnings and no investment banker, appraiser or other independent third party has been consulted concerning the price for the shares or the fairness of the price for the shares.
AS THE COMPANY HAS 500,000,000 AUTHORIZED COMMON SHARES AND 10,000,000 PREFERRED SHARES AUTHORIZED, THE COMPANY’S MANAGEMENT COULD ISSUE ADDITIONAL SHARES DILUTING THE COMPANY’S CURRENT SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY.
The company has 500,000,000 authorized common shares of which only 52,500,000 are currently outstanding. The company’s management could, without the consent of the company’s existing shareholders issue substantially more shares causing a large dilution in our current shareholders’ equity position. Additionally, large share issuances by the company would generally have a negative impact on our valuation and share price. It is possible that due to additional share issuance you could lose a substantial amount or all of your investment.
- 8 -
AS OUR COMPANY’S OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS CURRENTLY OWN AND/OR CONTROL THE MAJORITY OF THE OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK, INVESTORS MAY FIND DECISIONS MADE BY THE COMPANY’S OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS CONTRARY TO THEIR INTERESTS.
The company’s officers and directors own and/or control the majority of our current outstanding common stock. As a result, they will be able to decide who will be directors and control the direction of the company. Our officers and directors interests may differ from the interests of our other stockholders. Factors that could cause his interests to differ from the interests of other stockholders include the impact of corporate transactions on the timing of our business operations and her ability to continue to manage the business, in terms of the amount of time they are able to devote to the company.
IF WE FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY PROTECTION OR ARE FORCED INTO BANKRUPTCY PROTECTION, INVESTORS WILL LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.
If we file for bankruptcy protection, or a petition for involuntary bankruptcy is filed by creditors against us, all funds will become part of the bankruptcy estate and administered according to the bankruptcy laws. In this case, you will lose your investment and your funds will be used to pay creditors. You may never realize a return on your investment.
THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT A PURCHASER OF SHARES WILL REALIZE A RETURN ON HIS INVESTMENT OR THAT HE WILL NOT LOSE HIS ENTIRE INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY.
To date, the company has limited operations and no revenues. We have never earned a profit or generated revenues and there can be no assurance that we will ever achieve profitable operations. Our ability to implement our business plan is dependent, among other things, on the completion and development of our business plan. If we fail to raise any or a sufficient amount of money to continue operations, we may fail as a business. Even if we raise sufficient amount of funding, there can be no assurance that our business model will succeed.
We anticipate incurring losses during the period of time necessary to develop our business plan and create the marketing plan. Additionally, there can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably, even if we execute our business plan and raise additional funding for operations. Because we are a newly formed development stage company, there is no corporate operating history on which to evaluate our potential for success.
Additionally, we face many risks inherent in a start-up business, including difficulties and delays frequently encountered in connection with the commencement of operations, operational difficulties and our potential underestimation of initial and ongoing costs.
Executing the business plan requires that we spend significant funds based entirely on our preliminary evaluation of the potential of the market. It is impossible to predict the success of our business before marketing starts. The ability of the company to generate revenues will depend upon a variety of unpredictable factors, including:
If we do not execute our business plan on schedule or within budget, our ability to generate revenue may be diminished or delayed. Our ability to adhere to our schedule and budget face many uncertainties.
WE WILL INCUR INCREASED COSTS AS A RESULT OF BEING A PUBLIC COMPANY.
As a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that a private company does not incur. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as new rules subsequently implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission and stock exchanges has required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. We expect that these new rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, as a result of becoming a public company, we may need to create additional board committees and adopt additional policies regarding internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures. We will incur additional costs associated with public company reporting requirements and compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We also expect these new rules and regulations will make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. As a result, our general and administrative expenses will likely increase and it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers.
We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these new rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
OUR CORPORATE HISTORY
We were incorporated on June 2, 2008 in the State of Florida and commenced operations in July, 2010. At August 31, 2012, we have two (2) wholly owned subsidiaries (VIP Wink Corp and Mobile Sonars Inc). We have not generated any revenues from inception through August 31, 2012. We intend to commence marketing operations of our products as a development stage company in the fourth quarter of the calendar year of 2012. As of April, 2012, our primary focus and emphasis is placed on developing mobile applications and marketing children’s intellectual properties as our company owns children’s recordings of thirty-five (35) individual songs having each in over 200 children’s names.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SALES REVENUES
STATEMENT OF OPERATION ITEMS
Results of Operations for the year ended August 31, 2012 compared to the year ended August 31, 2011.
For the twelve (12) months ended August 31, 2012 and cumulative from June 2, 2008 (inception) through August 31, 2012, we had zero (0) revenues from operations and a loss from operations of $(934,715) and $(418,916) respectively.
| · | General and Administrative Expenses |
For the twelve (12) months ended August 31, 2012, General and Administrative expenses increased $15,068 from $7,716 for the year ending August 31, 2011 to $22,784 for year ending August 31, 2012. These expenses for the year ending August 31, 2012 are considered normalized annual expenses.
| · | Legal and Accounting Expenses |
For the twelve (12) months ended August 31, 2012, Legal and Accounting expenses increased $18,387 from $13,700 for the year ending August 31, 2011 to $32,087 for year ending August 31, 2012. We incurred increased legal and accounting fees to be current with our filings with the Securities and Exchanges Commission.
| · | Consulting and Software Development |
For the twelve (12) months ended August 31, 2012, consulting and software development fees increased $277,920 from $397,500 for the year ending August 31, 2011 to $675,420 for the year ending August 31, 2012. We issued 4,700,000 common shares to various consultants during the twelve (12) months ending August 31, 2012 as payment for $117,500 of consulting fees. The common shares issued were valued at $0.025 per common share. As we continuously develop our products, we anticipate these expenses to increase accordingly.
Balance Sheet Items
| · | INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES |
Intellectual properties at August 31, 2012 were $70,000 as compared to $262,500 at August 31, 2011. The company shall commence the amortization of these intellectual properties once the intellectual property is put into service. The intellectual properties have an estimated useful life to be amortized over a three (3) year period once the intellectual property has been put into service. At August 31, 2012, these properties have not been put into service.
For the twelve (12) months ended August 31, 2012, management determined that there should be impairment of valuations to our children’s intellectual property. Therefore, for the year ending August 31, 2012, impairment expense was $192,500 as compared to $0 for the year ending August 31, 2011.
- 12 -
| · | ACCRUED EXPENSES |
Accrued expenses at August 31, 2012 were $136,924 as compared to $10,000 at August 31, 2011, an increase of $126,924. The increase was a result of accruals for compensation, research and development of mobile applications, legal and accounting and other normalized expenses for the period ending August 31, 2012.
| · | NOTES AND ADVANCES FROM RELATED PARTIES |
From time to time, we borrow or receive advances from officers, directors and related parties. During the twelve (12) months ending August 31, 2011, we issued 920,000 common shares at $0.025 per shares totaling $23,000 as repayment of these loans and advances.
On April 30, 2012, we entered into a Note with Venture Capital Clinic Corp., an affiliated entity of our Chief Executive Officer, Steve Adelstein, being the sole officer and director of Venture Capital Clinic Corp. At August 31, 2012, the amount of advances pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Note were $87,500 net of interest accrual.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of August 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalent of $4,409. The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for August 31, 2012 and from inception (June 2, 2008) thru August 31, 2012.

From inception (June 2, 2008) through August 31, 2012, we have funded our cash and liquidity requirements to continue operations primarily through debt, advances from related parties and equity issuances. Additionally, we plan to raise funding through equity filing (Form S-1) with the Securities and Exchange Commission. However, until operating revenues increase significantly, we will continue to seek outside funding for the purpose of normalized operations and the acceleration of expansion of our operations resulting in additional cash flow. Without receiving any additional capital investment and/or related loans, management believes we will be unable to continue current business operations, and continue the current gradual expansion of our operations.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recent accounting pronouncements are described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that would be material to investors.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
We are aware that the economic condition has slowed operations substantially in 2012 and 2011 and we anticipate this continuing through 2013 that the U.S. economy is currently in a state of uncertainty. In addition, we are aware that business trends relative to the Internet are constantly changing. The combination of changing trends relative to the Internet and uncertainty regarding economic growth could have a material impact on our short-term or long-term liquidity or revenues or income from operations.
- 13 -
OUR BUSINESS
The following description of our business contains forward-looking statements relating to future events or our future financial or operating performance that involves risks and uncertainties, as set forth above under “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth in Section 1A under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
OUR MARKET PRESENCE
We are a development stage company presently focused on social networking applications including mobile and children’s original music. The initial mobile application is being produced by an independent software developer and consultant and it is anticipated that the beta-tested application (VIP Wink) will be available in November/December 2012.
Additionally, we plan to market and sell through distribution channels throughout the United States and foreign territories children’s intellectual properties, including original children’s music, videos and discs. Emphasis will be placed on creating original children’s music having a CD format that is personalized for the child’s individual name and download songs on the internet.
The Company, in July, 2010, acquired intellectual property consisting of thirty-five (35) children’s songs. The intellectual property acquired included all rights, title and interest and therefore the Company has title of one hundred percent (100%) ownership to the thirty-five (35) children’s songs. We are currently developing, producing and editing these thirty-five (35) songs in anticipation of commencing a marketing presence for the holiday season of 2011.
Of the current original thirty-five (35) children’s songs of which we have in our children’s intellectual portfolio, the initial twelve (12) songs as follows will be marketed having two-hundred (200) individual children’s names:
1) | “Wake Up” | 7) | “Raccoon Advice” |
2) | “Animal Sounds” | 8) | “A Smile On Your Face” |
3) | “Proper Manners” | 9) | “Sea Captain” |
4) | “The Fair” | 10) | “The Ha-Ha Song” |
5) | “Believe In Yourself” | 11) | “Family” |
6) | “The Gift Of Love” | 12) | “A Little Lullaby” |
OUR EMPLOYEES
As of August 31, 2012, FIRST LEVEL ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, INC. has three (3) permanent staff members under agreement of which one (1) is designated as full time. Our officers and directors are prepared to devote time to our operations as may be required.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTANTS
During the fiscal years ended August 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no disagreements with Lake & Associates CPA LLC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure. There were no reportable events, as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
- 14 -
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Treasurer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of our fourth fiscal quarter covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our President concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level.
There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our fourth fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2012, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and includes those policies and procedures that:
| · | Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; |
|
|
|
| · | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and |
|
|
|
| · | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.
Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to consolidated financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
As of August 31, 2012 management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
- 15 -
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and (3) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Sole Officer in connection with the review of our consolidated financial statements as of August 31, 2012.
Management believes any of the matters noted above could result in a material misstatement in our consolidated financial statements in future periods.
MANAGEMENT’S REMEDIATION INITIATIVES
In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, we have initiated, or plan to initiate, the following series of measures:
We will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us. And, we plan to appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to an audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management when funds are available to us.
Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board.
We anticipate that these initiatives will be at least partially, if not fully, implemented by February 28, 2013. Additionally, we plan to test our updated controls and remediate our deficiencies by February 28, 2013.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our fourth fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2012, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

BOARD COMPOSITION AND MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board of Directors is currently composed of three (3) members. All actions of the Board of Directors require the approval of a majority of the Directors in attendance at a meeting at which a quorum is present.
COMMITTEES
Our Board of Directors currently has no committee.
Our Board of Directors has not established any committees, including an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee or a Nominating Committee, any committee performing a similar function. The functions of those committees are being undertaken by the entire board as a whole. Because we do not have any independent directors, our Board of Directors believes that the establishment of committees of the Board would not provide any benefits to our company and could be considered more form than substance.
INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS
WE DO NOT HAVE ANY INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS AND WE HAVE NOT VOLUNTARILY IMPLEMENTED VARIOUS CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MEASURES, IN THE ABSENCE OF WHICH, STOCKHOLDERS MAY HAVE MORE LIMITED PROTECTIONS AGAINST INTERESTED DIRECTOR TRANSACTIONS, CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND SIMILAR MATTERS.
- 18 -
Recent Federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets. Some of these measures have been adopted in response to legal requirements. Others have been adopted by companies in response to the requirements of national securities exchanges, such as the NYSE or The NASDAQ Stock Market, on which their securities are listed. Among the corporate governance measures that are required under the rules of national securities exchanges are those that address Board of Directors’ independence, audit committee oversight, and the adoption of a code of ethics. Our Board of Directors is comprised of three (3) individuals who are also our executive officers and as we do not have independent directors, many of our governance measures could be deemed inadequate and/or lacking.
Our executive officers make decisions on all significant corporate matters such as the approval of terms of the compensation of our executive officers and the oversight of the accounting functions.
POLICY REGARDING BOARD ATTENDANCE
Directors are expected to attend Board meetings as frequently as necessary to properly discharge their responsibilities and to spend the time needed to prepare for each such meeting.
Our Directors are expected to attend annual meetings of stockholders, but we do not have a formal policy requiring them to do so.
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
We do not pay fees to directors for attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors or of committees; however, we may adopt a policy of making such payments in the future. We will reimburse out-of-pocket expenses incurred by directors in attending board and committee meetings. From time to time, the Board of Directors approves compensation for officers and directors.
Under the terms of the Indemnification Agreements, we agreed to indemnify the directors against expenses, judgments, fines, penalties or other amounts actually and reasonably incurred by the directors in connection with any proceeding if the director acted in good faith and in our best interests. It is our practice to reimburse our directors for reasonable travel expenses related to attendance at board of directors and committee meetings.
FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS
Alfred Fernandez, our chief financial officer and director, has voting control for 2,000,000 common shares for four (4) minor aged children. These children are the grandchildren of Steve Adelstein, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the company. Two (2) of the children are the children of Tammi Shnider, the adult daughter of Steve Adelstein who is also a major shareholder and affiliate of the company.
Stuart Adelstein, the adult brother of Steve Adelstein, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, has voting control for 2,160,000 common shares for four (4) minor aged children. These children are the grandchildren of Steve Adelstein, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the company. Two (2) of the children are the children of Tammi Shnider, the adult daughter of Steve Adelstein who is also a major shareholder and affiliate of the company.
CODE OF ETHICS
In August 2008, we adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct which is applicable to our employees and which also includes a Code of Ethics for our President and principal financial officers and persons performing similar functions. A code of ethics is a written standard designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
| · | honest and ethical conduct, |
|
|
|
| · | full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in regulatory filings and public statements, |
|
|
|
| · | compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, |
|
|
|
| · | the prompt reporting violation of the code, and |
|
|
|
| · | accountability for adherence to the code. |

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
Our bylaws provide for the indemnification of our present and prior directors and officers or any person who may have served at our request as a director or officer of another corporation in which we own shares of capital stock or of which we are a creditor, against expenses actually and necessarily incurred by them in connection with the defense of any actions, suits or proceedings in which they, or any of them, are made parties, or a party, by reason of being or having been director(s) or officer(s) of us or of such other corporation, in the absence of negligence or misconduct in the performance of their duties. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditure by us, which we may be unable to recoup.
Insofar as indemnification by us for liabilities arising under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to provisions of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification by such director, officer or controlling person of us in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being offered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
At the present time, there is no known pending litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer, employee or other agent of ours in which indemnification would be required or permitted. We are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding which may result in a claim for such indemnification.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of First Level Entertainment Group, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of First Level Entertainment Group, Inc. (a development stage Company) (the “Company”) as of August 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years ended and for the period June 2, 2008 (inception) through August 31, 2012. 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 First Level Entertainment Group, Inc. (a development stage Company) as of August 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended, and for the period June 2, 2008 (inception) through August 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed further in Note 3, the Company has been in the development stage since its inception (June 2, 2008) and continues to incur significant losses. The Company’s viability is dependent upon its ability to obtain future financing and the success of its future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements present the consolidated balance sheet, statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company including its wholly owned subsidiaries. These consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions
Preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers highly liquid financial instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Intellectual Property
The Company, on July 31, 2010, acquired intellectual property consisting of thirty-five (35) children’s songs. The intellectual property acquired included all rights, title and interest and therefore the Company has title of one hundred percent (100%) ownership to the thirty-five (35) children’s songs.
The Company has capitalized costs of the acquired intellectual properties consisting of $105,000 including thirty-five (35) individual children’s songs at August 31, 2012 and $262,500 at August 31, 2011. The Company begins amortizing intellectual property costs, using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 3 years, once it is put into service. At August 31, 2012, the intellectual properties have not been put into service.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360-10-05-4 “Property, Plant, and Equipment-Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, which was previously Financial Accounting SFAS No.144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets”, the Company assesses long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be fully recoverable. Recoverability of asset groups to be held and used in measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If the carrying amount exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset group. The Company evaluates its long-lived assets from time to time and impairment charges of $192,500 were recorded for the twelve (12) month period ended August 31, 2012.
Fair Value
In accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 820, the Company has determined the estimated fair value of financial instruments using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The fair value of financial instruments classified as current assets or liabilities approximate their carrying value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax balances. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. 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. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment.
Revenue and Cost Recognition
The Company has no current source of revenue. The Company recognizes revenue based on Account Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605 “Revenue Recognition” which contains Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements’ and No. 104, “Revenue Recognition”. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, shipment has occurred, price is fixed or determinable and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenues transacted from on-line platforms are recognized at the point of sale.
The Cost of Sales includes any labor cost and the amortization of intellectual property.
Consulting Services and Software Development
The company expenses consulting services and software development as incurred. The company has had consulting services and software development expenses of $1,072,920 from inception (June 2, 2008) through August 31, 2012.
Property
The Company does not own or lease any real property at August 31, 2012.
Net Loss per Share
Basic loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Dilutive loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the losses of the Company. Because the Company does not have any potentially dilutive securities, the accompanying presentation is only of basic loss per share.
