PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This Prospectus Summary is a brief overview of key aspects of the offering. This Summary does not contain all the information that you should consider before investing in the common stock. You should carefully read the entire Prospectus, including “Risk Factors”, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the Financial Statements, before making an investment decision.

Overview

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 26, 2010 under the name of Zippy Bags, Inc.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

Zippy Bags, Inc. will market for sale one carrying bag for snowboards. The carrying bag is used to transport snowboards and protect them while being moved. Zippy Bags, Inc. is a development stage company with a limited history of development stage operations. Since its inception, on August 26, 2010, Zippy has incurred losses to March 31, 2011.

Zippy Bags, Inc. will market its sole intended product, a snowboard carrying bag in the Salt Lake City, Utah area.

Snowboard Carrying Bags

The snowboard carrying bag is a multi-functional carrying bag that can be used as a fanny-pack that is worn around the waist and then can be unzipped and, when rolled out, can be converted into a full length snowboard bag as an all in one, self-contained package. It is protection for a snowboard that allows the board to be stored with the bindings on or off. It can be used for transporting a snowboard to the slopes, to protect the car interior from edge cuts while in the bag, or can be mounted onto a roof top rack. The bag can then be folded back into itself and can be used as a fanny pack when the board is not in use.

The snowboard carrying bag will be available in three sizes: 143 cm, 157 cm, and 169 cm. It is made of rugged 420 denier nylon pack cloth, comes with a removable and fully-adjustable-padded shoulder strap, fully adjustable waist strap, heavy-duty haul handles, two-way heavy-duty zippers and is urethane coated. The snowboard carrying bag is water, mildew, road grime and fade resistant. It has dual zippered pockets for carrying items such as gloves, goggles, keys, lunch, cell phone and/or wallet.

The snowboard carrying bag will come in six different colors: black/charcoal, chocolate brown/Texas tan, hunter green/charcoal, navy/charcoal, red/charcoal and royal blue/charcoal.

Zippy Bags has manufactured one sample/prototype snowboard carrying bag, to date,.  It plans or intends to manufacture the snowboard carrying bag as soon as it raises the $75,000 necessary to begin manufacturing the snowboard carrying bags.  Additionally, Zippy Bags has not begun its major operations of having its one product, a snowboard carrying bag, manufactured by an unaffiliated outside provider, White Bear Manufacturing, Inc., and the Company has not distributed the product to anyone. The Company will market one snowboard carrying bag in the Salt Lake City, Utah area. The Company will not have any carrying bags for snowboards manufactured until the company has sold the product to an end user. Zippy is considered a development stage company because it has not commenced its major operations. In addition the Company has not achieved any revenue in connection with its business to date. As a result, we are a startup company, which means that we have no operating history or revenue, and are at a competitive disadvantage.

We expect to continue to incur losses for at least the next 12 months. We do not expect to generate revenue that is sufficient to cover our expenses, and we do not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to execute our plan of operations for at least the next twelve months. We will need to obtain additional financing to conduct our day-to-day operations, and to fully execute our business plan. We plan to raise the capital necessary to fund our business through the sale of equity securities, debt instruments or private financing. (See "Plan of Operation")

Taking into account that our Company is a new startup and is without an established income stream and has not yet produced any product for sale, the estimated monthly burn rate projected during the first fiscal year, without due consideration for adjustment is $30,000 on an annual basis.  This includes a three month burn, in cash, of $7,500 (at $2,500 per month) considering the Company encounters a bad quarter during its first year in business beginning with the first current due date and ending with the cash zero date.  The itemized monthly expenses the Company will incur for the next twelve months are:  (1) a $1,200 desktop computer and a $1,000 laptop computer; (2) 2 printers at $600; (3) 2 computer monitors at $350; (4) one 50 inch flat screen LCD television for internet conferencing/ $1,000; (5) monthly internet conferencing charge, on an average, of $650; (6) electricity for the office space at an averaging $100 to $120 a month; (7) natural gas for the office space at an average of $100 to $120 a month; (8) postage fees on an average of $400 a month; (9) miscellaneous (paper, ink, letterhead) on an average of $450 a month; (10)  business related office software (Office Professional, QuickBooks, etc.) at $2,000); (11) Cell phone and usage at $ 130 a month; and (12) a four drawer lateral file cabinet at $800. The planned source of funding for the itemized monthly expenses listed infra, until such time as the Company raises $5.000 to begin operations, is Ms. Somsen.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

The Company was incorporated on August 26, 2010. The Company has had limited development stage operations from incorporation (August 26, 2010) to March 31, 2011.
 
Initial Sales Strategy
We have established a two-prong sales approach; our approach utilizes direct sales through Janet Somsen. Our direct sales will be conducted by Ms. Somsen. She will market the product locally in the Salt Lake City, Utah area to snowboard shops and outdoor retailers who sell snowboards to the general public in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Company’s marketing strategy will consist of various Point of Sale material including display racks, posters and flyers developed by Ms. Somsen in the past several months.

We also intent to derive sales from our internet website.  Currently, we do not have the funds sufficient to complete building the Company’s internet website.

Subsequent Sales Strategy
The Company will develop its marketing program to sell snowboard carrying bags to the general public, through a combination of direct sales, referral and networking within the industry. The Company plans to market to local snowboard shops and outdoor retailers, who sell snowboards to the general public in Salt Lake City, Utah area, about our product and work to obtain sales using that method.  We intend to market the local snowboard shop using various display racks, posters and flyers in those shops, or place advertising for our product in local free snowboarding magazines located throughout Salt Lake City, Utah.
 
Zippy Bags, Inc. will commence the marketing of one snowboard carrying bag for sale to the general public. The Company is presently developing its marketing program for the snowboard carrying bag to the general public. The Company is not offering the product to anyone at this time. Zippy Bags, Inc. is considered a development stage company because it has not commenced its major operations. In addition, the Company has not achieved any revenue in connection with its business to date. As a result we are a startup company, that is, we have no operating history or revenue, and are at a competitive disadvantage.

We have no operating history and expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future. Should we continue to incur losses for a significant amount of time, the value of your investment in the common shares could be affected downward, and you could even lose your entire investment.

We have not yet received any revenues from our development stage operations, nor have we otherwise engaged in any business operations. Zippy Bags, Inc. is a development stage company and in the absence of revenues and operations the Independent Auditor’s Report dated March 31, 2011, cites a going concern issue. The going concern statement opinion issued by the independent auditors is the result of a lack of operations and working capital.

The Company will need to raise capital which concerned the independent auditors because there is insufficient cash for operations for the next twelve months. We will have to seek other sources of capital.

We established the minimum amount of $75,000 that the Company will need to raise through debt instruments such as bank loans, or private financing so that operations could start in order to generate some type of revenue. Presently no other sources have been identified and it is unknown if any other sources will be identified. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain any bank loans or private financing. Additionally, Zippy Bags, Inc. has no business plan to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company or companies, or other entity or person.
 
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

We use a corporate office located at 3464 South 7495 West, Magna, Utah 84044. There are currently no proposed programs for renovation, improvement or development of the facility currently in use. The corporate office space provided by Ms. Somsen is currently owned by Ms. Somsen debt free.

RISK FACTORS

The shares of our common stock being offered for resale by the selling security holder are highly speculative in nature, involve a high degree of risk and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose the entire amount invested in the common stock. Before purchasing any of the shares of common stock, you should carefully consider the following factors relating to our business and prospects. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected. In such case, you may lose all or part of your investment. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this prospectus before investing in our common stock.

Risks Related to Our Business
 
A) RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

THE COMPANY HAS A LIMITED DEVELOPMENT STAGE OPERATING HISTORY UPON WHICH TO BASE AN EVALUATION OF ITS BUSINESS AND PROSPECTS. WE MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IN OUR EFFORTS TO GROW OUR BUSINESS AND TO EARN INCREASED REVENUES. AN INVESTMENT IN OUR SECURITIES REPRESENTS SIGNIFICANT RISK AND YOU MAY LOSE ALL OR PART OF YOUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.

We have a limited history of development stage operations and we may not be successful in our efforts to grow our business and to earn revenues. Our business and prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development, particularly startups in the snowboard carrying case industry. As a result, management may be unable to adjust its spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall. This inability could cause net losses in a given period to be greater than expected. An investment in our securities represents significant risk and you may lose all or part of your entire investment.

WE HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES. FUTURE LOSSES AND NEGATIVE CASH FLOW MAY LIMIT OR DELAY OUR ABILITY TO BECOME PROFITABLE. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT WE MAY NEVER ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY. AN INVESTMENT IN OUR SECURITIES REPRESENTS SIGNIFICANT RISK AND YOU MAY LOSE ALL OR PART OF YOUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.

We have yet to establish profitable development stage operations or a history of profitable development stage operations. We anticipate that we will continue to incur substantial development stage operating losses for an indefinite period of time due to the significant costs associated with the development of our business.

Since incorporation, we have expended financial resources on the development of our business. As a result, losses have been incurred since incorporation. Management expects to experience development stage operating losses and negative cash flow for the foreseeable future. Management anticipates that losses will continue to increase from current levels because the Company expects to incur additional costs and expenses related to: marketing and promotional activities; the possible addition of new personnel.

The Company’s ability to become profitable depends on its ability to generate and sustain sales while maintaining reasonable expense levels. If the Company does achieve profitability, it cannot be certain that it would be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. An investment in our securities represents significant risk and you may lose all or part of your entire investment.

IF WE DO NOT OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING, OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL.

We will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan because we currently do not have any income. We do not have any arrangements for financing and we may not be able to find such financing if required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including investor acceptance. These factors may adversely affect the timing, amount, terms, or conditions of any financing that we may obtain or make any additional financing unavailable to us. If we do not obtain additional financing our business will fail.

Management anticipates that losses will continue to increase from current levels because the Company expects to incur additional costs and expenses related to: marketing and promotional activities; the possible addition of new personnel. It is anticipated that the costs associated with the activities mentioned above will be obtained by a loan from Janet Somsen. In the event that we are unable to secure such a loan from Ms. Somsen, or some other source(s), unknown at this time, we will not be able to continue forward and our business will fail.

However, it is estimated that the amount of additional costs and expenses associated with public company reporting requirements will be approximately $10,000. It is also estimated that the amount of additional costs and expenses associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements will be approximately $5,000.

It is anticipated that we may need to obtain a loan from Janet Somsen to cover these additional costs and expenses. In the event that we are unable to secure such a loan from Ms. Somsen, or some other source(s), unknown at this time, we will not be able to continue forward and our business will fail.

WE HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF GOING CONCERN FROM OUR AUDITORS. IF WE DO NOT RECEIVE ADDITIONAL FUNDING, WE WOULD HAVE TO CURTAIL OR CEASE DEVELOPMENT STAGE OPERATIONS. AN INVESTMENT IN OUR SECURITIES REPRESENTS SIGNIFICANT RISK AND YOU MAY LOSE ALL OR PART OF YOUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.

Our independent auditors noted in their report accompanying our financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2011 that we have not earned a profit. As of March 31, 2011, we had a net loss of $22,554 and they further stated that the uncertainty related to these conditions raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. At March 31, 2011, our cash on hand was $259. We do not currently have sufficient capital resources to fund operations. To stay in business, we will need to raise additional capital through public or private sales of our securities, debt financing or short-term bank loans, or a combination of the foregoing.

We will need additional capital to fully implement our business, operating and development plans. However, additional funding from an alternate source or sources may not be available to us on favorable terms, if at all. To the extent that money is raised through the sale of our securities, the issuance of those securities could result in dilution to our existing security holder. If we raise money through debt financing or bank loans, we may be required to secure the financing with some or all of our business assets, which could be sold or retained by the creditor should we default in our payment obligations. If we fail to raise sufficient funds, we would have to curtail or cease operations.

OUR CURRENT BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT STAGE OPERATIONS RELY HEAVILY UPON OUR KEY EMPLOYEE AND FOUNDER, MS. JANET SOMSEN.

We have been heavily dependent upon the expertise and management of Ms. Janet Somsen, our Chief Executive Officer and President, and our future performance will depend upon her continued services. The loss of Ms. Somsen’s services could seriously interrupt our business operations, and could have a very negative impact on our ability to fulfill our business plan and to carry out our existing development stage operations. The Company currently does not maintain key man life insurance on this individual. Additionally, the Company does not have any employment agreement with Ms. Somsen, our sole director and officer. As a result, there can be no assurance that a suitable replacement could be found for her upon retirement, resignation, inability to act on our behalf, or death.

OUR FUTURE GROWTH MAY REQUIRE RECRUITMENT OF QUALIFIED EMPLOYEES.

In the event of our future growth in administration, marketing, and customer support functions, we may have to increase the depth and experience of our management team by adding new members. Our future success will depend to a large degree upon the active participation of our key officers and employees. There is no assurance that we will be able to employ qualified persons on acceptable terms. Lack of qualified employees may adversely affect our business development.

WE ARE HIGHLY RELIANT UPON THE MANUFACTURING CAPABILITIES OF WHITE BEAR, OUR INTENDED SUB-CONTRCATOR/MANUFACTURER, WITH WHOM WE HAVE NO AGREEMENT AT THIS TIME.

Our Company is currently solely reliant on White Bear Manufacturing, Inc. to manufacture our product. White Bear Manufacturing, Inc. and Ms. Somsen have produced one sample of our one product for Zippy Bags, Inc. as of this time. Should White Bear Manufacturing, Inc. not manufacture our product as intended, we may or may not be able to secure another manufacturer to manufacture our product which would result in a failure of our business. The Company does not have any agreement with White Bear Manufacturing, Inc. at this time.

(B) RISKS RELATED TO THE INDUSTRY

SNOWBOARD CARRYING BAGS ARE COST COMPETITIVE AND IS CHARACTERIZED BY LOW FIXED COSTS. A REDUCTION IN COST FOR THE INDUSTRY COULD AFFECT THE DEMAND FOR OUR SNOWBOARD CARRYING BAGS.

The snowboard carrying bags sales industry is highly competitive and is characterized by a large number of competitors ranging from small to large companies with substantial resources. Many of our potential competitors have substantially larger customer bases, greater name recognition, greater reputation, and significantly greater financial and marketing resources than we do. In the future, aggressive marketing tactics implemented by our competitors could impact our limited financial resources and adversely affect our ability to compete in these markets.

Price competition exists in the snowboard carrying bag industry. There are many snowboard carrying bag companies that could discount their products which could result in lower revenues for the entire industry. A shortfall from expected revenue levels would have a significant impact on our potential to generate revenue and possibly cause our business to fail.

OUR DEVELOPMENT STAGE OPERATING RESULTS MAY FLUCTUATE DUE TO FACTORS WHICH ARE NOT WITHIN OUR CONTROL.

Our development stage operating results are expected to fluctuate in the future based on a number of factors, many of which are not in our control. Our development stage operating expenses primarily include marketing and general administrative expenses that are relatively fixed in the short-term. If our revenues are lower than we expect because demand for our one product diminishes, or if we experience an increase in defaults among distributors of our snowboard carrying bags, or for any other reasons, we may not be able to quickly return to acceptable revenue levels.

Because of the unique nature of our business and the fact that there are no comparable past business models to rely on, future factors that may adversely affect our business are difficult to forecast. Any shortfall in our revenues would have a direct impact on our business. In addition, fluctuations in our quarterly results could adversely affect the market price of our common stock in a manner unrelated to our long-term operating performance.

WE HAVE A SHORT DEVELOPMENT STAGE OPERATING HISTORY AND FACE MANY OF THE RISKS AND DIFFICULTIES FREQUENTLY ENCOUNTERED BY A START UP COMPANY.

We have a short development stage operating history from inception (August 26, 2010) to March 31, 2011 for investors to evaluate the potential of our business development. We are continuing our attempts to try to market our product and to try to build a customer base for our product, which has not been manufactured yet, although we have manufactured one sample/prototype snowboard carrying bag to date.
 
We do not have any customers at this time.

 
Increase awareness of our brand name;
 
Develop an effective business plan;
 
Meet customer standards;
 
Implement advertising and marketing plan;
 
Attain customer loyalty;
 
Maintain current strategic relationships and develop new strategic relationships;
 
Respond effectively to competitive pressures;
 
Continue to develop and upgrade our product; and
 
Attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel.

Our future will depend on our ability to raise additional capital and bring our product to the marketplace, which requires careful planning to provide a product that meets customer standards without incurring unnecessary cost and expense.

WE MAY NEED ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO DEVELOP OUR BUSINESS.

The development of our product will require the commitment of resources to increase the advertising, marketing and future expansion of our business. In addition, expenditures will be required to enable us in 2011 to conduct planned business research, development of new affiliate and associate offices, and marketing of our existing and future products. Currently, we have no established bank-financing arrangements. Therefore, it is possible that we would need to seek additional financing through subsequent future private offering of our equity securities, or other arrangements with corporate partners unknown of at this time.

We cannot give you any assurance that any additional financing will be available to us, or if available, will be on terms favorable to us. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The occurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. If adequate additional financing is not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to implement our business development plan or continue our business operations.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO BUILD OUR BRAND AWARENESS.

Development and awareness of our brand Zippy Bags will depend largely upon our success in creating a customer base and potential referral sources. In order to attract and retain customers and to promote and maintain our brand in response to competitive pressures, management plans to gradually increase our marketing and advertising budgets. If we are unable to economically promote or maintain our brand, then our business, results of operations and financial condition could be severely harmed. The Company had working capital deficit of $4,554 as of March 31, 2011.

WE MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT COSTS TO BE A PUBLIC COMPANY TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH U.S. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND ACCOUNTING REQUIREMENTS AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ABSORB SUCH COSTS.

We may incur significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the SEC. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly. We also expect that these applicable rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to these newly applicable rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs. In addition, we may not be able to absorb these costs of being a public company, which will negatively affect our business operations.

However, it is estimated that the amount of additional costs and expenses associated with public company reporting requirements will be approximately $10,000. It is also estimated that the amount of additional costs and expenses associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements will be approximately $5,000.

It is anticipated that we may need to obtain a loan from Janet Somsen to cover these additional costs and expenses. In the event that we are unable to secure such a loan from Ms. Somsen, or some other source(s), unknown at this time, we will not be able to continue forward and our business will fail.

THE LIMITED PUBLIC COMPANY EXPERIENCE OF OUR MANAGEMENT TEAM COULD ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR ABILITY TO COMPLY WITH THE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS OF U.S. SECURITIES LAWS.

Our management team has limited public company experience, which could impair our ability to comply with legal and regulatory requirements such as those imposed by Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our senior management has never had sole responsibility for managing a publicly traded company. Such responsibilities include complying with federal securities laws and making required disclosures on a timely basis. Our senior management may not be able to implement programs and policies in an effective and timely manner that adequately respond to such increased legal, regulatory compliance and reporting requirements, including the establishing and maintaining internal controls over financial reporting. Any such deficiencies, weaknesses or lack of compliance could have a materially adverse effect on our ability to comply with the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which is necessary to maintain our public company status. If we were to fail to fulfill those obligations, our ability to continue as a U.S. public company would be in jeopardy in which event you could lose your entire investment in our company.

(C) RISKS RELATED TO THE OWNERSHIP OF OUR SECURITIES AND RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING.
 
 
WE MAY NEVER PAY ANY DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends or distributions on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to support operations and to finance expansion and therefore we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of the board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors as the board of directors considers relevant. There is no assurance that future dividends will be paid, and, if dividends are paid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend.

OUR CONTROLLING SECURITY HOLDER MAY TAKE ACTIONS THAT CONFLICT WITH YOUR INTERESTS.

Ms. Janet Somsen beneficially owns 100% of our capital stock with voting rights. In this case, Ms. Somsen will be able to exercise control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, amendment of our certificate of incorporation and approval of significant corporate transactions, and he will have significant control over our management and policies. The directors elected by our controlling security holder will be able to significantly influence decisions affecting our capital structure. This control may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control or changes in management, or limiting the ability of our other security holders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in their best interest. For example, our controlling security holder will be able to control the sale or other disposition of our operating businesses and subsidiaries to another entity.

THE OFFERING PRICE OF THE COMMON STOCK WAS ARBITRARILY DETERMINED, AND THEREFORE SHOULD NOT BE USED AS AN INDICATOR OF THE FUTURE MARKET PRICE OF THE SECURITIES. THEREFORE, THE OFFERING PRICE BEARS NO RELATIONSHIP TO OUR ACTUAL VALUE, AND MAY MAKE OUR SHARES DIFFICULT TO SELL.

Since our shares are not listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system, the offering price of $0.001 per share for the shares of common stock was arbitrarily determined. The facts considered in determining the offering price were our financial condition and prospects, our limited operating history and the general condition of the securities market. The offering price bears no relationship to the book value; assets or earnings of our Company or any other recognized criteria of value. The offering price should not be regarded as an indicator of the future market price of the securities.

SINCE THE OFFERING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK WAS ARBITRARILY DETERMINED, AND THE OFFERING PRICE BEARS NO RELATIONSHIP TO BOOK VALUE, ASSETS OR EARNINGS OF OUR COMPANY, AN INVESTMENT IN OUR SECURITIES REPRESENTS SIGNIFICANT RISK AND YOU MAY LOSE ALL OR PART OF YOUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.

The offering price of our Company’s common stock was arbitrarily determined, and the offering price bears no relationship to the book value, assets or earning of the Company, or any other recognized criteria of value.  Additionally, since the offering price cannot be regarded as an indicator of the future market price of our Company’s securities, any investment in our securities represents a significant risk that you may lose all or part of your entire investment.

YOU MAY EXPERIENCE DILUTION OF YOUR OWNERSHIP INTEREST BECAUSE OF THE FUTURE ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND OUR PREFERRED STOCK.

In the future, we may issue our authorized but previously unissued equity securities, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of our present stockholders. We are currently authorized to issue an aggregate of 100,000,000 shares of capital stock consisting of 90,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.

We may also issue additional shares of our common stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for common stock in connection with hiring or retaining employees or consultants, future acquisitions, future sales of our securities for capital raising purposes, or for other business purposes. The future issuance of any such additional shares of our common stock or other securities may create downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock. There can be no assurance that we will not be required to issue additional shares, warrants or other convertible securities in the future in conjunction with hiring or retaining employees or consultants, future acquisitions, future sales of our securities for capital raising purposes or for other business purposes.

OUR COMMON STOCK IS CONSIDERED PENNY STOCKS, WHICH MAY BE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON MARKETABILITY, SO YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SELL YOUR SHARES.

If our common stock becomes tradable in the secondary market, we will be subject to the penny stock rules adopted by the SEC that require brokers to provide extensive disclosure to their customers prior to executing trades in penny stocks. These disclosure requirements may cause a reduction in the trading activity of our common stock, which in all likelihood would make it difficult for our shareholders to sell their securities.

Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system). Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The broker-dealer must also make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of our securities. These requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to resell our common stock.

THERE IS NO ASSURANCE OF A PUBLIC MARKET OR THAT OUR COMMON STOCK WILL EVER TRADE ON A RECOGNIZED EXCHANGE. THEREFORE, YOU MAY BE UNABLE TO LIQUIDATE YOUR INVESTMENT IN OUR STOCK.

There is no established public trading market for our common stock. Our shares have not been listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA, which operates the OTCBB, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved or that a regular trading market will develop or that if developed, will be sustained. In the absence of a trading market, an investor may be unable to liquidate their investment.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling security holder. All proceeds from the sale of the shares offered hereby will be for the account of the selling security holder, as described below in the sections entitled "Selling Security Holder" and "Plan of Distribution."

We are registering 8,000,000 shares for gross proceeds of $8,000 from the sale of the selling security holder’s common stock under the investment agreement. All of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock offered herein will be received by the selling security holder.

With the exception of any brokerage fees and commissions which are the obligation of the selling security holder, we are responsible for the fees, costs and expenses of this offering which are estimated to be $30,000, inclusive of our legal and accounting fees, printing costs and filing and other miscellaneous fees and expenses of which the Company has paid $23,428, of which $1,000 was included as prepaid expenses as of March 31, 2011.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

Since our common stock is not listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system, the offering price of the shares of common stock was arbitrarily determined. The offering price of the shares of our common stock has been determined arbitrarily by us and does not necessarily bear any relationship to our book value, assets, past developmental stage operating results, financial condition or any other established criteria of value. The facts considered in determining the offering price were our financial condition and prospects, no operating history and the general condition of the securities market.

Although our common stock is not listed on a public exchange, we will be filing to obtain a listing on the OTCBB concurrently with the filing of this prospectus. In order to be quoted on the OTCBB, a market maker must file an application on our behalf in order to make a market for our common stock. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with FINRA, which operates the OTC Bulletin Board, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved.

In addition, there is no assurance that our common stock will trade at market prices in excess of the initial offering price as prices for the common stock in any public market which may develop will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity.

DILUTION

The common stock to be sold by the selling security holder is common stock that is currently issued and outstanding. Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our existing security holder. Upon the successful completion of this offering, the number of shares will total 18,000,000 common shares outstanding.

SELLING SECURITY HOLDER

On August 26, 2010, the Company issued 18,000,000 founder’s shares at the par value of $0.001 in exchange for proceeds of $18,000. The common shares being offered for resale by the selling security holder consist of the 8,000,000 shares of our common stock held by one shareholder (founder).

The following table sets forth the name of the selling security holder, the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholder as of March 31, 2011 and the number of shares of common stock being offered by the selling stockholder. The shares being offered hereby are being registered to permit public secondary trading, and the selling stockholders may offer all or part of the shares for resale from time to time. However, the selling stockholder is under no obligation to sell all or any portion of such shares nor is the selling stockholder obligated to sell any shares immediately upon effectiveness of this prospectus. All information with respect to share ownership has been furnished by the selling stockholders.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering 8,000,000 shares of our common stock for resale by the selling security holder identified in the section above entitled “Selling Security Holder." We will receive none of the proceeds from the sale of these shares by the selling security holder.

The selling security holder may sell some of all of their common stock in one or more transactions, including block transactions:

 
On such public markets or exchanges as the common stock may from time to time be trading;
 
In privately negotiated transactions;
 
Through the writing of options on the common stock;
 
Settlement of short sales; or,
 
In any combination of these methods of distribution.
 
 
12

 
 
The selling security holder has set an offering price for these securities of $0.001 per share, with no minimum number of shares to be offered per investor and an offering period of twenty nine days from the date of this prospectus. Additionally, the fixed price of $0.001 per share applies to the duration of the 29 day offering period and the Zippy Bags, Inc. has not plans to have its securities quoted or traded on a market or exchange.

The shares may also be sold in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Rule 144. In the event of the transfer by the selling security holder of shares to any pledgee, donee, or other transferee, we will amend this prospectus and the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part by the filing of a post-effective registration statement in order to name the pledgee, donee, or other transferee in place of the selling security holder who have transferred his shares.

The selling security holder may also sell shares directly to market makers acting as principals or brokers or dealers, who may act as agent or acquire the common stock as a principal. Any broker or dealer participating as agent in such transactions may receive a commission from the selling security holder or, if they act as agent for the purchaser of such common stock, a commission from the purchaser. The selling security holder will likely pay the usual and customary brokerage fees for such services. Brokers or dealers may agree with the selling security holder to sell a specified number of shares at a stipulated price of $0.001 per share and, to the extent such broker or dealer is unable to do so acting as agent for the selling security holder, to purchase, as principal, any unsold shares at the price required to fulfill the respective broker's or dealer's commitment to the selling security holder. Brokers or dealers who acquire shares as principals may thereafter resell such shares from time to time in transactions in a market or on an exchange, in negotiated transactions or otherwise, at market prices of $0.001, and in connection with such re-sales may pay or receive commissions to or from the purchasers of such shares. These transactions may involve cross and block transactions that may involve sales to and through other brokers or dealers. We can provide no assurance that all or any of the common stock offered will be sold by the selling security holder.

If, after the date of this prospectus, the selling security holder enters into an agreement to sell their shares to a broker-dealer as principal and the broker-dealer is acting as an underwriter, we will need to file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. We will need to identify the broker-dealer, provide required information on the plan of distribution, and revise the disclosures in that amendment, and file the agreement as an exhibit to the registration statement. Also, the broker-dealer would have to seek and obtain clearance of the underwriting compensation and arrangements from the NASD Corporate Finance Department.

The selling security holder listed in this prospectus is the underwriter within the meaning of section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with the sales and distributions contemplated under this prospectus, and may have civil liability under Sections 11 and 12 of the Securities Act for any omissions or misstatements in this prospectus and the registration statement of which it is a part and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with the sales and distributions contemplated under this prospectus, and may have civil liability under Sections 11 and 12 of the Securities Act for any omissions or misstatements in this prospectus and the registration statement of which it is a part. Additionally, any profits, which our selling security holder may receive, would be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. Because the selling security holder is the underwriter under Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, the selling security holder will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the common stock, which are estimated at $30,000 inclusive of our legal and accounting fees, printing costs and filing and other miscellaneous fees and expenses of which the Company has paid $23,428 as of March 31, 2011, with $1,000 of these costs considered prepaid expenses. The selling security holder, however, will pay any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the common stock.

In order to comply with the applicable securities laws of certain states, the securities will be offered or sold in those only if they have been registered or qualified for sale; an exemption from such registration or if qualification requirement is available and with which Zippy Bags, Inc. has complied.

In addition and without limiting the foregoing, the Company will be subject to applicable provisions, rules and regulations under the Exchange Act with regard to security transactions during the period of time when this Registration Statement is effective.

We are paying the expenses of the offering because we seek to: (i) become a reporting company with the Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act"); and (ii) enable our common stock to be traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. We believe that the registration of the resale of shares on behalf of the existing security holder may facilitate the development of a public market in our common stock if our common stock is approved for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board.

We consider that the development of a public market for our common stock will make an investment in our common stock more attractive to future investors. We will at some point in the near future need to raise additional capital through private placement offerings. We believe that obtaining reporting company status under the 1934 Act and trading on the OTC Bulletin Board should increase our ability to raise these additional funds from investors.

There is no assurance that we will find a market maker and no assurance that our shares will be approved for trading on the OTC Bulletin.
 
The selling security holder and any broker-dealers or agents must comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act in the offer and sale of the common stock. In particular, during such times as the selling security holder is engaged in a distribution of the common stock, and therefore be considered to be an underwriter, he must comply with applicable law and may, among other things may be deemed to be engaged in a distribution of the common stock, and therefore be considered to be an underwriter, he must comply with applicable law and may, among other things:

 
*
Not engage in any stabilization activities in connection with our common stock;
 
*
Furnish each broker or dealer through which common stock may be offered, such copies of this prospectus, as amended from time to time, as may be required by such broker or dealer; and,
 
*
Not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities other than as permitted under the Securities Exchange Act.

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULT OF OPERATIONS

The following plan of operation provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read along with our financial statements and notes thereto. This section 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. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our predictions.

OVERVIEW
 
Zippy was formed in the state of Nevada on August 26, 2010 to provide retail sales of snowboard carrying bags to the general public. The Company expects to generate its corporate revenue from the sale of its snowboard carrying bags. The Company plans to market Zippy through a combination of direct sales, referrals and networking within the industry. To date, the Company has not generated any sales. The Company is currently in the planning stage and organization stage and is without operations.

The Company has adopted a fiscal year end of March 31.

We expect to establish an internet website in August of 2011 where customers can purchase the snowboard carrying bag.  Currently, we do not have the funds to fully develop our Company’s website.

To commence active business operations we will need to engage in a number of planning stage and preliminary activities. We will commence activities include developing the website for our snowboard carrying cases, preparing marketing materials and direct mail. We will undertake and work to finish these activities upon completion of this registration statement. We have started some of the activities, by developing the snowboard carrying case and creating the initial marketing material but the marketing completion cannot occur without the raising of additional funds in the amount of $75,000. From inception (August 26, 2010) to date we have spent a substantial amount of time in developing the finished snowboard carrying cases and marketing material, strategic planning, budgeting, and preliminary work.
 
We have determined that the price of our product should be commensurate with the relative cost to have the product manufactured and packaged and shipped by outside vendors, including an estimated 40% gross profit margin, resulting in a selling price of $100 to $150 per snowboard bag. If these prices are incorrect it could result in an operating loss for us.

While budgetary manufacturing, packaging, shipping and marketing costs have been established for our product, no definitive work has commenced in development of these products and activities; therefore, it is possible that these prices could be incorrect. If after development a different price is deemed necessary it could result in an operating loss for us. We have not devoted much time to raising capital other than the investments from Ms. Somsen. Furthermore, Zippy has not commenced its major operations of having outside vendors manufacture, package, and ship our one product. Zippy is considered a development stage company because it has not commenced its major operations. In addition, the Company has not achieved any revenue in connection with its business to date.
 
Over the next twelve months, Zippy Bags, Inc. plans to build out its reputation and develop a network in the snowboard carrying bags business and begin sales to the general public. The Company has not yet sold any snowboard carrying bags.  It does have, however, one sample carrying bag which has been manufactured by White Bear Manufacturing, Inc. which in can use to build its reputation and start generating orders from the general public – at which time Zippy will begin manufacturing and distributing its product in the Salt Lake City, Utah area.

Based on our current operating plan, we do not expect to generate revenue that is sufficient to cover our expenses for at least the next twelve months. In addition, we do not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to execute our operations for at least the next twelve months. We will need to obtain additional financing to conduct our day-to-day operations, and to fully execute our business plan. We will raise the capital necessary to fund our business through subsequent sales of equity securities. Additional financing, whether through public or private equity or debt financing, arrangements with security holders or other sources to fund operations, may not be available, or if available, may be on terms unacceptable to us.
 
Management feels the Company’s continuation as a going concern depends upon its ability to obtain additional sources of capital and financing. Specifically, management intends to raise additional permanent capital through debt instruments such as bank loans, or private financing. The goal of this effort is to provide working capital for the next year. Our twelve month operating plan is dependent on raising additional permanent capital through debt instruments such as bank loans, or private financing in the amount of $75,000. Presently we do not have any existing sources or plans for financing over the next twelve months. Zippy Bags, Inc. plans to build out its reputation and develop a network in the snowboard carrying bags business and begin sales to the general public.  The Company has not yet sold any snowboarding bags.  I does have, however, one sample carrying bag which has been manufactured by White Bear Manufacturing, Inc. which it can use to build its reputation and start generating orders from the general public – at which time Zippy will begin manufacturing and distributing its product in the Salt Lake City, Utah area. The Company plans, in the next twelve months, is to raise $75,000 through public or private equity or debt financing, arrangements with the security holder or other sources to fund operations and complete the marketing of its product.

The $75,000 the Company needs to raise to begin operations does not include the Company current monthly “burn Rate”.  Our “burn rate” is approximately $2,500 per month. Most of our expenses are anticipated to be legal, accounting, transfer agent, and other costs associated with being a public company. Additional financing, whether through public or private equity or debt financing, arrangements with the security holder or other sources to fund operations, may not be available, or if available, may be on terms unacceptable to us. Our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital.
 
If we issue additional equity securities to raise funds, the ownership percentage of our existing security holder would be reduced. New investors may demand rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. Debt incurred by us would be senior to equity in the ability of debt holders to make claims on our assets. The terms of any debt issued could impose restrictions on our operations. If adequate funds are not available to satisfy either short or long-term capital requirements, our operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected and we could be forced to cease operations.

Our monthly burn rate of $2,500 is not included in the $75,000 the Company needs to raise to begin operations. If we are successful in our efforts to raise the $75,000, our twelve month operating plan shall be as follows (We would not move into our operations phase until we have established our internet site to sell our snowboard carrying bags even if we are successful in our efforts to raise the $75,000 of capital)

 
The implementation of our direct sales model through Ms. Somsen through the commencement of sales will cost at least $75,000. We will allocate $35,000 toward marketing materials which include flyers, brochures, direct marketing DVD’s and mailing costs. The Company intends to allocate the $35,000 for Marketing as soon as the $75,000 is raised.
 
 
$10,000 towards costs associated with public company reporting requirements, and $5,000 related to expenses associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements
     
 
Software and hardware to develop an internet site will cost the company at least $10,000. As a snowboard carrying bag company continued improvements and upgrades will be required. User features and website content updates are vital to continued visitations by online users. This cost signifies the system creation. The Company intends to allocate these funds within four months of the funds becoming available.
 
 
 
 
Program administration and working capital expenses until such time as there are sufficient sales to cash-flow operations will cost the company at least $15,000. This is the necessary working capital to fund operations until such time as revenues exceed expenses. This will cover audit fees, legal fees associated with the offering and all other management expenses such as those from industry consultants and advisors. The Company intends to pay its legal and accounting and all other management fees as they become due.

INITIAL SALES STRATEGY

We have established a two-prong sales approach; our approach utilizes direct sales through Janet Somsen. Our direct sales will be conducted by Ms. Somsen. She will market the product locally in the Salt Lake City, Utah area to snowboard shops and outdoor retailers. The Company’s current marketing strategy consists of various Point of Sale material including display racks, posters and flyers developed by Ms. Somsen in the past several months. We intend to derive income from these sales and our goal is establish brand recognition.

Additionally, we intend to derive income from our internet web site upon its completion.  Currently, we do not have the funds to complete our internet website.

SUBSEQUENT SALES STRATEGY

The Company will commence marketing one snowboard carrying bag to the general public, through a combination of direct sales, referral and networking within the industry. The Company is presently developing its marketing program for snowboard carrying bag to the general public.  We also intend to market our product through our website: www.Zipppybagsinc.com, which is currently under development/construction. We need additional funding to finish our website. The Company has not sold the product to anyone at this time. Zippy Bags, Inc. is considered a development stage company because it has not commenced its major operations. In addition, the Company has not achieved any revenue in connection with its business to date. As a result, we are a startup company, which means we have no operating history or revenue, and are at a competitive disadvantage.

The Company will begin to position itself to be able to market their product line to both the wholesale and retail markets. We will accomplish our wholesale market strategy through direct contacts with major distributors at trade shows such as the SnowSport Industries America show (“SIA”) and by utilizing independent factory representatives in the field who will offer our products. The Company will also attend, as well as sponsor snowboarding events. We also intend to aggressively contact amateur and professional snowboarders to help promote our product line.

Sales
August 26, 2010 (inception) to March 31, 2011, we generated no revenues. There were no revenues as the Company has not yet commenced operations.

Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the period from August 26, 2010 (inception) through March 31, 2011 were $22,717, consisting of $22,000 of legal and accounting fees, $680 of business license fees, and $37 of bank service charges.

Other Income (Expenses)
Total other (income) expenses for the period from August 26, 2010 (inception) through March 31, 2011 were $163, consisting of $295 of interest earned on notes receivable that were repaid prior to March 31, 2011, and $132 of interest expense incurred on notes payable.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We believe that our existing sources of liquidity will not be sufficient to fund our operations, anticipated capital expenditures, working capital and other financing requirements for at least the next twelve months. In the event the Company is unable to achieve profitable operations in the near term, it may require additional equity and/or debt financing, or reduce expenses, including officer’s compensation, to reduce such losses. However, we cannot assure that such financing will be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. We will continue to monitor our expenditures and cash flow position and we are presently debt free, but at some time in the future we may need to obtain additional financing to complete our business plan. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain such financing if needed and the failure to do so could negatively impact the viability of our company to continue with this business and the business may fail.

The following table summarizes total assets, accumulated deficit, stockholder’s equity (deficit) and working capital at March 31, 2011.

Since our inception on August 26, 2010, we have incurred a net loss of $22,554.  Our cash and cash equivalent balances were $259 at March 31, 2011. On March 31, 2011, we had a retained deficit of $22,554 and total current liabilities were $5,813.

During the period of August 26, 2010 (date of inception) to March 31, 2011, we used $23,428 of cash for operating activities. A portion of these funds were used to prepay legal and accounting fees, in the amount of $1,000 related to this registration statement.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities relating to the issuance of shares of common stock during the period of August 26, 2010 (date of inception) to March 31, 2011 was $18,000 as a result of the sale of eighteen million (18,000,000) shares of common stock, issued with a value of $0.001 to our founder and CEO, Janet Somsen. We also received proceeds of $5,007 and $680 from related parties, Janet Somsen CEO and BK Consulting & Associates, P.C., respectively, in exchange for an unsecured promissory notes carrying 8% interest, due on demand. Since inception, our capital needs have entirely been met by these sales of stock and short term debt financings. The Company does not expect to run out of money, as Ms. Somsen has agreed to fund the Company, through an oral agreement, until such time as the Company raises $75,000. Ms. Somsen, however, is under no legal obligation and/or duty to do so.  Additionally, although there is an oral agreement between the Company and Ms. Somsen to fund the Company until such time as the Company raises $75,000, Ms. Somsen has not agreed to fund any specific amount to the Company.
 
Additional Disclosure of Outstanding Share Data

We have 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized, and 90,000,000 shares of common stock authorized.

As of March 31, 2011, we had no shares of preferred stock and 18,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

Satisfaction of Our Cash Obligations for the Next Twelve Months

Our plan for satisfying our cash requirements for the next six months, estimated to be approximately $15,000, is through generating revenue from the sale of snowboarding carrying bags, sale of shares of our common stock, third party financing, and/or traditional bank financing. We do not, however, anticipate generating sufficient amounts of revenues to meet our working capital requirements. Consequently, we intend to make appropriate plans to insure sources of additional capital in the future to fund growth and expansion through additional equity or debt financing or credit facilities.
 
We cannot assure that we will have sufficient capital to finance our growth and business operations or that such capital will be available on terms that are favorable to us or at all. We are currently incurring operating deficits that are expected to continue for the foreseeable future.

Based on our current operating plan, we do not expect to generate revenue that is sufficient to cover our expenses for at least the next twelve months. In addition, we do not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to execute our operations for at least the next twelve months. We will need to obtain additional financing to conduct our day-to-day operations, and to fully execute our business plan. We will raise the capital necessary to fund our business through a subsequent offering of equity securities. Additional financing, whether through public or private equity or debt financing, arrangements with security holders or other sources to fund operations, may not be available, or if available, may be on terms unacceptable to us. Additionally, the Company may have to reduce expenses, including Company officer compensation, if the Company is unable to achieve profitable operations in the near term.

Management feels the Company’s continuation as a going concern depends upon its ability to obtain additional sources of capital and financing. Specifically, management intends to raise additional permanent capital through debt instruments such as bank loans, or private financing. The goal of this effort is to provide working capital for the next year. Our twelve month operating plan is dependent on raising additional permanent capital through debt instruments such as bank loans, or private financing in the amount of $75,000. Presently we do not have any existing sources or plans for financing.

If we are successful in our efforts to raise the $75,000, our twelve month operating plan will be as follows (We would not move into our operations phase until we have established our internet site to sell our snowboard carrying bags).

 
The implementation of our direct sales model through Ms. Somsen through the commencement of sales will cost at least $75,000. We will allocate $35,000 toward marketing materials which include flyers, brochures, direct marketing DVD’s and mailing costs. The Company intends to allocate the $35,000 for Marketing as soon as the $75,000 is raised.
 
 
 
 
$10,000 towards costs associated with public company reporting requirements, and $5,000 related to expenses associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements
     
 
Software and hardware to develop an internet site will cost the company at least $10,000. As a snowboard carrying bag company continued improvements and upgrades to our hardware and software will be required. User features and website content updates are vital to continued visitations by online users. This cost signifies the system creation. The Company intends to allocate these funds within four months of the funds becoming available.
 
 
 
 
Program administration and working capital expenses until such time as there are sufficient sales to cash-flow operations will cost the company at least $15,000. This is the necessary working capital to fund operations until such time as revenues exceed expenses. This will cover audit fees, legal fees associated with the offering and all other management expenses such as those from industry consultants and advisors. The Company intends to pay its legal and accounting and all other management fees as they become due.

Our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital. If we issue additional equity securities to raise funds, the ownership percentage of our existing security holders would be reduced. New investors may demand rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. Debt incurred by us would be senior to equity in the ability of debt holders to make claims on our assets. The terms of any debt issued could impose restrictions on our operations. If adequate funds are not available to satisfy either short or long-term capital requirements, our operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected and we could be forced to cease operations.

Expected Purchase or Sale of Significant Equipment

We do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any significant equipment as such items are not required by us at this time or in the next twelve months.

Inflation

The rate of inflation has had little impact on the Company's results of operations and is not expected to have a significant impact on the continuing operations.
 
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 our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified the policies outlined below as critical to our business operations and an understanding of our results of operations. The list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, with no need for management's judgment in their application. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. Note that our preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Sales are recorded when products are shipped to customers and collectability is reasonably assured. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue from sales for which payment has been received, but delivery has not occurred. No sales have yet commenced.

Stock Based Compensation Expense

The Company adopted FASB guidance on stock based compensation upon inception on August 26, 2010. Under FASB ASC 718-10-30-2, all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The Company did not issue any stock and stock options for services and compensation for the period from August 26, 2010 (Inception) through March 31, 2011.

FASB ASC 718-10-30-2 requires measurement of all employee share-based payments awards using a fair-value method. When a grant date for fair value is determined we will use the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model. The Black-Scholes-Merton valuation calculation requires us to make key assumptions such as future stock price volatility, expected terms, risk-free rates and dividend yield. The weighted-average expected term for stock options granted is calculated using the simplified method. The simplified method defines the expected term as the average of the contractual term and the vesting period of the stock option. We will estimate the volatility rates used as inputs to the model based on an analysis of the most similar public companies for which the Company has data. We will use judgment in selecting these companies, as well as in evaluating the available historical volatility data for these companies.

FASB ASC 718-10-30-2 requires us to develop an estimate of the number of share-based awards which will be forfeited due to employee turnover. Annual changes in the estimated forfeiture rate may have a significant effect on share-based payments expense, as the effect of adjusting the rate for all expense amortization after January 1, 2006 is recognized in the period the forfeiture estimate is changed. If the actual forfeiture rate is higher than the estimated forfeiture rate, then an adjustment is made to increase the estimated forfeiture rate, which will result in a decrease to the expense recognized in the financial statements. If the actual forfeiture rate is lower than the estimated forfeiture rate, then an adjustment is made to decrease the estimated forfeiture rate, which will result in an increase to the expense recognized in the financial statements. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

We will continue to use judgment in evaluating the expected term, volatility and forfeiture rate related to its stock-based awards on a prospective basis, and in incorporating these factors into the model. If our actual experience differs significantly from the assumptions used to compute its stock-based compensation cost, or if different assumptions had been used, we may record too much or too little share-based compensation cost. The Company recognizes expense using the straight-line attribution method.

PLAN OF OPERATION

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares under this prospectus. Our continued existence is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional financing. Our capital requirements for the next twelve months will continue to be significant.

Based on our current operating plan, we do not expect to generate revenue that is sufficient to cover our expenses for the next twelve months. In addition, we do not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to execute our operations and will need to obtain additional financing to operate our business for the next twelve months. Zippy Bags, Inc. will continue to develop its marketing program for its snowboard carrying bags. The Company will need additional capital of $75,000 for marketing and sales and working capital associated with Zippy over the next year. The Company intends to create a client base within this twelve month time frame. Additional financing, whether through public or private equity or debt financing, arrangements with the security holder or other sources to fund operations, may not be available, or if available, may be on terms unacceptable to us. Our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital. Additionally, Zippy Bags, Inc. has no business plan to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company or companies, or other entity or person.
 
Although, Ms. Somsen has no experience running a snowboard carrying bag company, specifically, she does, however, have experience at the executive level in the carrying bag industry having worked for Bike Bag International, Inc. as Vice President of R&D and manufacturing.  Bike Bag International, Inc. manufactured various carrying bags for the bicycling, snowboarding, skateboarding/ice-skating and the aviation industries.  Ms. Somsen, initially, will work ten (10) hours a week for the Company, until such time as the Company raises the $75,000. At that time, Ms. Somsen will devote forty (40) hours or more to the Company.

If we issue additional equity securities to raise funds, the ownership percentage of our existing security holder would be reduced. New investors may demand rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. Debt incurred by us would be senior to equity in the ability of debt holders to make claims on our assets. The terms of any debt issued could impose restrictions on our operations. If adequate funds are not available to satisfy either short or long-term capital requirements, our operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected and we could be forced to cease operations.

Our independent auditors have added an explanatory paragraph to their report of our financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2011, stating that our net loss of $22,754, lack of revenues and dependence on our ability to raise additional capital to continue our existence, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements and their explanatory notes included as part of this prospectus do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If we fail to obtain additional financing, either through an offering of our securities or by obtaining loans, we may be forced to cease our business.

We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the common stock, which are estimated at approximately $30,000. The selling security holder, however, will pay any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the common stock.

Overall Strategic Direction

The Company plans to establish its reputation in the snowboard carrying bag industry, thereby attracting new clients and building out its network of operations.

The Company aims to form long term working relationships with a number of snowboard stores and outdoor retailers in the Salt Lake City, (Utah) area.

Description of Products

Janet Somsen, CEO and Director of Zippy Bags, Inc, came up with the idea over the last year of what she believes will be a successful snowboard carrying bag.

Product Development:

In August of 2010, Ms. Somsen began working with Zippy Bags, Inc., located at 3464 South 7495 West, Magna, Utah 84044.

When the Company raises the $75,000, Ms. Somsen will begin negotiations and development work with White Bear Manufacturing, Inc., located at 224 West 4860 South, Murray, Utah. White Bear Manufacturing, Inc. (WBMI) has specialized in the textile bag manufacturing business since 1981. WBMI is a full service contract custom cut-n-sew facility that is dedicated to the production of turnkey custom soft-goods products. As of the date of this prospectus, the Company does not have any formal agreements with WBMI.

WBMI is headquartered in Murray, Utah and is capable of meeting high volume orders as well as smaller jobs.

The Company has not patented the specifications that are to be used in the bags at this time. The denier pack cloth (a urethane coated poly-cotton blend material) bag specifications that will be created for Zippy Bags is not similar to other snowboard carrying bag products. There are a wide variety of typical snowboard carrying bags available, but no other company offers a multi-functional or dual purpose product like the one that will be offered by Zippy Bags to the consumer, placing the product in a category of its own in the industry.
 
Currently, the Company does not have the funds necessary to seek a patent on our one product, a snowboard carrying bag.  Upon receiving the funds necessary to begin operations, namely the $75,000, and after generating income from sales of its one product allowing it the funds necessary to seek patent protection, the Company will seek a patent and/or patents on its one product, a snowboard carrying bag.

Manufacturing:

In October of 2010, WBMI and Zippy Bags Inc. finalized the specifications for the Zippy Bag snowboard carrying bag. All materials including hardware, snaps and zippers are readily available from WBMI to complete the product. The Company has not currently taken any steps to test the product. WBMI has further advised Zippy Bags that they can manufacture each carrying bag for $67. WBMI has not produced any carrying bags for Zippy Bags at this time and Zippy Bags does not have any formal agreement in place for production of it snowboard bags with WBMI.
 
 
22

 
 
Packaging:

WBMI has advised Zippy that they can provide final fulfillment (packaging and shipping) for the carrying bag to the consumer in the following manner: WBMI could package each carrying bag for shipping for $4 plus the cost of the postage to the customer. WBMI can provide all packaging material needed in connection with Zippy Bags snowboard carrying bags. WBMI has not packaged any product for the Company thus far. Zippy Bags does not have any formal agreements in place with WBMI to package and/or ship its bags.

Initial Sales Strategy:

 
We have established a two-prong sales approach; our approach utilizes direct sales through Janet Somsen. Our direct sales are being conducted by Ms. Somsen, who is currently attempting to market the product locally in the Salt Lake City, Utah area to snowboard shops and outdoor retailers. The Company’s current marketing strategy consists of various Point of Sale material including display racks, posters and flyers developed by Ms. Somsen in the past several months.

We also intent to derive sales from our internet website.  Currently, we do not have the funds necessary to complete building our internet website.
Subsequent Sales Strategy:

The Company will develop a marketing program to sell the snowboard carrying bag to the general public, through a combination of direct sales, referral and networking within the industry. The Company plans to educate snowboard carrying bag advertisers about our product and work to obtain sales by the ways discussed herein.

In order to bring the Company’s snowboard carrying bag to market, the Company will need to seek additional capital of approximately $75,000. These funds would be used for marketing materials. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing at reasonable cost, it would be unable to manufacture, package and sell their bags. As of March 31, 2011 the Company’s working capital deficit was $4,554 which is not sufficient to fund the sale of the bags through Ms. Somsen.

Features of Products and Services:

The Company believes that there is a role for companies that can provide quality products and service.

Our form of product may involve assisting a store in the following:

 
Delivery of only a small amount of product, when a snowboard shop does not have adequate storage space;
 
Delivery of large amounts of product to stores with large storage space.
 
The ability of the company to speak directly to snowboard and outdoor retail store managers about the product.

The Snowboard Carrying Bag Industry

Competition:

There are numerous companies and individuals who are currently engaged in the snowboard carrying bag industry and such business is extremely competitive. We believe the uniqueness of our product and the specialized nature of our design as well as corporate focus enables us to be a better long-term partner for our client base than that of a traditional snowboard carrying bag company.

The Company believes that by offering a highly unique and extremely well built snowboard carrying bag, we redefine snowboard gear protection and meet the transportation needs of the consumer. Adding features and value not found anywhere else and then providing excellent client and customer service and satisfaction, will give us a large customer base. Nevertheless, many of our competitors have significantly greater financial and other resources available as well as greater managerial staff than we do and are therefore, in certain aspects, in a better position than we are to provide snowboard carrying bags. We therefore believe our ability to compete will be dependent upon many factors both within and outside our control, including, but not limited to, pricing as well as the market acceptance and timing acceptance of our snowboard carrying bags and service provided. We will face direct competition from a variety of companies, both online and as direct marketers.

Many of our existing and potential competitors, which will include online snowboard carrying bag businesses, are focusing more closely on internet based sales. These companies have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial backing, technical and marketing resources, greater name recognition and a larger established customer base than we will. Furthermore, there is a risk that larger financially sound companies which offer internet and direct sales may decide to use extremely low pricing, therefore, such pricing techniques, should they become common in our industry, could have a material, adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and business model.

Generally, competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging changes in customer requirements or to devote greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we will.

There can be no assurance that our potential competitors will not develop products comparable or superior to those that will be developed and offered by us or adapt more quickly than us to changing customer requirements, or that we will be able to timely and adequately complete the implementation, and appropriately maintain and enhance the operation, of our business model. Increased competition could result in price reductions, reduced margins, failure to obtain any significant market share, or loss of market share, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors, or that competitive pressures faced by us will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete against these snowboard carrying bag businesses such as the following:

Burton.com
Burton is an international company that manufactures an entire line of snowboards, snowboard bags, snowboard boots and bindings, clothing and accessories. They feature fifteen different models of snowboard bags.

Dakine.com
Dakine is a company that features eleven different models of snowboard bags that has been in this line of business since 1979.

Current Business Focus

The Company’s business focus is to market one snowboard carrying bag to snowboard stores and outdoor retailers in the Salt Lake City, Utah area along with, at a reasonable price, to the largest percentage of the target market population as possible. The Company believes that the ability to deliver a product and consistency of service are main factors in fostering a repeat customer base, greater advisory network and reputation.

Advantages of Competitors Over Us

The Company believes the following are advantages that our competitors have over us. Their length of time in business, established customer base, financial backing, and name recognition are all advantages of the competition.

Customer Base

Presently the Company does not have an established regular customer base.

Financial Resources

The Company believes that many of its competitors, such as Burton and Dakine, have at this time a significantly greater financial and/or other resources than we do and are, therefore, in certain respects, in a better position to provide snowboard carrying bags.

Competitive Advantages

Zippy Bags believes that, as a small company, its key competitive advantages will be its centralized decision making process (the decisions will be made by Ms. Somsen) which will allow the Company to more quickly respond and implement decisions relating to future fads, such as changing colors, schemes and/or adapting to new snowboard shapes in manufacturing its snowboard carrying bags, than its larger competitors.

Experienced Management:

The Company believes that it has experienced management. Our sole Director and executive officer Ms. Somsen has over 30 years of experience in the management and business operations. The Company believes that her knowledge, relationships, reputation and management track record will help it to build and maintain its client base.

Performance:

The Company believes that its ability to provide quality snowboard carrying bags, service performance and service consistency is one of its key advantages. Through performance, the Company hopes to develop a repeat customer base and a reputation for quality products.

 
24

 
 
Niche Industry:

One distinct and competitive advantage that sets Zippy Bags apart from the other companies in the industry is that no one else offers anything similar to our product. This means that, although there are a wide variety of companies that produce and sell fanny-packs, as well as snowboard carrying bags, no other company offers a multi-functional or dual purpose product like ours.  This places us in a category of our own. Our snowboard carrying bags offer style, function and features not offered by our competitors.

Research and Development

The Company is not currently conducting any research and development activities. However if research and development is required in the future, we intend to rely on third party service providers.

Employees

Ms. Somsen is the sole Director, Chief Executive Officer, President, and Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of Zippy Bags, Inc. At this time, we only have one employee, Ms. Somsen.

The Company plans to employ individuals on an as needed basis. The Company anticipates that it will need to hire additional employees as the business grows. In addition, the Company may expand the size of our Board of Directors in the future.

Janet Somsen presently does not receive a salary or benefits in any form. Once the Company raises sufficient funding of $75,000, Ms. Somsen will be paid a salary of $2,000 a month and she will devote 40 hours to the Company.

Additional Products

The Company does not intend to market any other products.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Company does not presently have an Audit Committee and the Board acts in such capacity for the immediate future due to the limited size of the Board. The Company intends to increase the size of its Board in the future, at which time it may appoint an Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee will be empowered to make such examinations as are necessary to monitor the corporate financial reporting and the external audits of the Company, to provide to the Board of Directors (the "Board") the results of its examinations and recommendations derived there from, to outline to the Board improvements made, or to be made, in internal control, to nominate independent auditors, and to provide to the Board such additional information and materials as it may deem necessary to make the Board aware of significant financial matters that require Board attention.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

The Company does not presently have a Compensation Committee and the Board acts in such capacity for the immediate future due to the limited size of the Board. The Company intends to increase the size of its Board in the future, at which time it may appoint a Compensation Committee.

The Compensation Committee will be authorized to review and make recommendations to the Board regarding all forms of compensation to be provided to the executive officers and directors of the Company, including stock compensation, and bonus compensation to all employees.

INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR/CORPORATE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE

Our Board of Directors currently consists of only Janet Somsen. We are not a “listed company” under SEC rules and therefore are not required to have separate committees comprised of independent directors. We do not have independent director(s) at this time.

The Company does not presently have a Corporate Governance Committee and the Board acts in such capacity for the immediate future due to the limited size of the Board. The Company intends to increase the size of its Board in the future, at which time it may appoint a Corporate Governance Committee.

The Corporate Governance Committee will be responsible for reviewing developments in corporate governance practices, evaluating the adequacy of our corporate governance practices and reporting and making recommendations to our Board of Directors concerning corporate governance matters.

NOMINATING COMMITTEE

The Company does not have a Nominating Committee and the full Board acts in such capacity.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires that the Company's directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent (10%) of a registered class of its equity securities, file with the SEC reports of ownership and changes in ownership of its common stock and other equity securities. Executive officers, directors, and greater than ten percent (10%) beneficial owners are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file. Based solely upon a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us or written representations that no other reports were required, the Company believes that to date, all filing requirements applicable to its executive officers, directors, and greater than ten percent (10%) beneficial owners were met.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities relating to the issuance of shares of common stock during the period of August 26, 2010 (date of inception) to March 31, 2011 was $18,000 as a result of the sale of eighteen million (18,000,000) shares of common stock, issued with a value of $0.001 to our founder and CEO, Janet Somsen. We also received proceeds of $5,007 and $680 from related parties, Janet Somsen CEO and BK Consulting & Associates, P.C., respectively, in exchange for an unsecured promissory notes carrying 8% interest, due on demand. Since inception, our capital needs have entirely been met by these sales of stock and short term debt financings. Ms. Somsen is willing to commit any funds necessary for sustainability of the Company until it is fully funded.

Shares Eligible for Future Sale

Upon completion of the offering, we will have outstanding Eighteen Million (18,000,000) shares of common stock. Of these shares, the Eight Million (8,000,000) shares to be sold in the offering, will be freely tradable in the public market without restriction under the Securities Act, unless the shares are held by our "affiliates," as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

The remaining shares of common stock outstanding upon completion of the offering will be "restricted securities," as that term is defined in Rule 144. Restricted securities may be sold in the public market only if they are registered or if they qualify for an exemption from registration, such as the exemption afforded by Rule 144.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

We have adopted provisions in our certificate of incorporation that limit the liability of our Directors for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors, except for liability that cannot be eliminated under the Nevada General Corporation Law. Nevada law provides that directors of a company will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors, except for liabilities:
 
 
*
For any breach of their duty of loyalty to us or our security holders;
 
*
For acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
 
*
For unlawful payment of dividend or unlawful stock repurchase or redemption, as provided under Section 174 of the Nevada General Corporation Law; or,
 
*
For any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

In addition, our bylaws provide for the indemnification of officers, directors and third parties acting on our behalf, to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada General Corporation Law, if our board of directors authorizes the proceeding for which such person is seeking indemnification (other than proceedings that are brought to enforce the indemnification provisions pursuant to the bylaws).

These indemnification provisions may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the registrant's executive officers and directors for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. No pending material litigation or proceeding involving our directors, executive officers, employees or other agents as to which indemnification is being sought exists, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened material litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any of our directors or executive officers.

Our articles of incorporation and applicable Nevada law provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney's fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on our behalf. We will also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of our directors, officers, employees, or agents, upon such person's written promise to repay us if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures by us, which we will be unable to recoup.

We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, 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 indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The legal process relating to this matter if it were to occur is likely to be very costly and may result in us receiving negative publicity, either of which factors is likely to materially reduce the market and price for our shares, if such a market ever develops.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors
ZIPPY BAGS, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Zippy Bags, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of March 31, 2011, and the related statements of operations, stockholder’s equity (deficit) and cash flows for the period from inception on August 26, 2010 through March 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with 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 was 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Zippy Bags, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of March 31, 2011, and the related statements of operations, stockholder’s equity (deficit) and cash flows for the period from inception on August 26, 2010 through March 31, 2011, 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 in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $22,554, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
Note 1 – Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business
Zippy Bags, Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on August 26, 2010 (“Inception”). The Company was formed to market a snowboard carrying bag. The company will market the bags locally, in the Salt Lake City, Utah area to snowboard shops and outdoor retailers.

These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.

The Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined by FASB ASC 915-10-05. This standard requires companies to report their operations, shareholders equity and cash flows from inception through the reporting date. The Company will continue to be reported as a development stage entity until, among other factors, revenues are generated from management’s intended operations. Management has provided financial data since inception (August 26, 2010).

The Company has adopted a fiscal year end of March 31.

Results of operations for the interim period are not indicative of annual results.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the 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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
We maintain cash balances in non-interest-bearing accounts, which do not currently exceed federally insured limits. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2011.

Equipment
Equipment is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated net recoverable amount, and is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related asset.

Maintenance and repairs will be charged to expense as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments will be capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation will be removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss will be reflected in operations.

The Company will assess the recoverability of equipment by determining whether the depreciation and amortization of these assets over their remaining life can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of equipment impairment, if any, will be measured based on fair value and is charged to operations in the period in which such impairment is determined by management.

Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is provided for significant deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not, that such asset will not be recovered through future operations.

Fair value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments consist principally of cash and debts due to the officer. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying balance sheets approximate their fair values due to their relatively short-term nature. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
Revenue Recognition
Revenues from fixed price contracts and cost-plus-fee contracts are recognized as services are performed. Revenue is recognized at the time of sale if collectability is reasonably assured. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss adjusted on an “as if converted” basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. For the periods presented, there were no outstanding potential common stock equivalents and therefore basic and diluted earnings per share result in the same figure.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company adopted FASB guidance on stock based compensation upon inception at August 26, 2010. Under FASB ASC 718-10-30-2, all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The Company has not had any stock and stock options issued for services and compensation for the year ended March 31, 2011.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of supplementary pro forma information for business combinations.” This update changes the disclosure of pro forma information for business combinations. These changes clarify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. Also, the existing supplemental pro forma disclosures were expanded to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU; however, we do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, “Intangible –Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts.” This update requires an entity to perform all steps in the test for a reporting unit whose carrying value is zero or negative if it is more likely than not (more than 50%) that a goodwill impairment exists based on qualitative factors, resulting in the elimination of an entity’s ability to assert that such a reporting unit’s goodwill is not impaired and additional testing is not necessary despite the existence of qualitative factors that indicate otherwise. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU; however, we do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-18 regarding improving comparability by eliminating diversity in practice about the treatment of modifications of loans accounted for within pools under Subtopic 310-30 – Receivable – Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (“Subtopic 310-30”). Furthermore, the amendments clarify guidance about maintaining the integrity of a pool as the unit of accounting for acquired loans with credit deterioration. Loans accounted for individually under Subtopic 310-30 continue to be subject to the troubled debt restructuring accounting provisions within Subtopic 310-40, Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors. The amendments in this Update are effective for modifications of loans accounted for within pools under Subtopic 310-30 occurring in the first interim or annual period ending on or after July 15, 2010. The amendments are to be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-13, "Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades (A consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)" (“ASU 2010-13”). ASU 2010-13 clarifies that a share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, such an award should not be classified as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. This clarification of existing practice is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010, with early application permitted. The Company’s adoption of this update did not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09 regarding subsequent events and amendments to certain recognition and disclosure requirements. Under this ASU, a public company that is a SEC filer, as defined, is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This ASU is effective upon the issuance of this ASU. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 regarding fair value measurements and disclosures and improvement in the disclosure about fair value measurements. This ASU requires additional disclosures regarding significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 of fair value measurements, including a description of the reasons for the transfers. Further, this ASU requires additional disclosures for the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, requiring presentation of information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU; however, we do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “ASC”). The ASC has become the single source of non-governmental accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB in the preparation of financial statements. The ASC does not supersede the rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), therefore, the rules and interpretive releases of the SEC continue to be additional sources of GAAP for the Company. The Company adopted the ASC as of August 26, 2010. The ASC does not change GAAP and did not have an effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855-10 entitled “Subsequent Events”. Companies are now required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated by management. Public entities (as defined) must conduct the evaluation as of the date the financial statements are issued, and provide disclosure that such date was used for this evaluation. ASC 855-10 provides that financial statements are considered “issued” when they are widely distributed for general use and reliance in a form and format that complies with GAAP. ASC 855-10 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and must be applied prospectively. The adoption of ASC 855-10 upon inception did not have a significant effect on the Company’s financial statements as of that date or for the period then ended. In connection with preparing the accompanying financial statements for the year ending March 31, 2011, management evaluated subsequent events through the date that such financial statements were issued (filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission).

Note 2 – Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred net losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit of $22,554 and a working capital deficit of $4,544 as of March 31, 2011. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing new ventures to increase revenues. In addition, the Company is currently seeking additional sources of capital to fund short term operations. The Company, however, is dependent upon its ability to secure equity and/or debt financing and there are no assurances that the Company will be successful, therefore, without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements also do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 3 – Related Party

On March 10, 2011, the Company received an unsecured loan in the amount of $5,007, bearing interest at 8% and due on demand from the CEO.

On November 5, 2010, the Company issued 18,000,000 founder’s shares at the par value of $0.001 in exchange for proceeds of $18,000 to the Company’s CEO.

Note 4 – Due From Officer

The Company advanced the CEO $9,000 and $3,975 on November 5, 2010 and February 16, 2011, respectively. The short term loans were repaid in full on March 23, 2011, along with $295 of interest using a simple 8% interest rate.

Note 5 – Note Payable, Officer

On March 10, 2011, the Company received an unsecured loan in the amount of $5,007, bearing interest at 8% and due on demand from the CEO. The Company has accrued interest of $94 as of March 31, 2011.

Note 6 – Note Payable

From time to time the Company has received loans from BK Consulting and Associates, P.C. to fund operations. The total outstanding balance of the unsecured, demand notes, bearing interest at 8% was $680 March 31, 2011. Accrued interest of $32 was outstanding as of March 31, 2011.

Note 7 – Stockholder’s Equity

On November 5, 2010, the Company issued 18,000,000 founder’s shares at the par value of $0.001 in exchange for proceeds of $18,000.

Note 8 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Under FASB ASC 820-10-05, the Financial Accounting Standards Board establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheet are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short term nature of the instruments. The Company had no other items that required fair value measurement on a recurring basis.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table provides a summary of the fair values of assets and liabilities:

Note 9 – Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes was $-0- for the year period from inception on August 26, 2010 through March 31, 2011 since the Company incurred net operating losses which have a full valuation allowance through March 31, 2011.

ASC 740 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In the Company’s opinion, it is uncertain whether they will generate sufficient taxable income in the future to fully utilize the net deferred tax asset. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance equal to the deferred tax asset has been recorded. The total deferred tax asset is calculated by multiplying a 35% marginal tax rate by the cumulative Net Operating Loss (“NOL”) of $17,769. The total valuation allowance is equal to the total deferred tax asset.

The tax effects of significant items comprising the Company's net deferred taxes as of March 31, 2011 were as follows:

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such denomination and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
 
(A) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
(1) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
(2) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
 
(3) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
 
(B) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(C) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
 
(A) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
 
( 6 )  For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in the form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

( 7 )  For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
