PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Organization and Basis of Presentation
Go Solar USA, Inc. is a development-stage company that was formed in Wyoming on June 12, 2007. We are an emerging company working to provide leading edge alternative solar energy strategies focused on consumer electronics and solar products. We are working to commercialize next generation alternative solar energy technologies and related photovoltaic technologies to sell all over the world. At Go Solar USA, we believe solar energy is the optimal solution – it is reusable, it is clean and it is affordable. Solar energy is clearly one of the leading alternative energy sources now and in the future.
Company History
In a Breeze Technologies, Inc. ("IBTI"), was incorporated in Wyoming on June 12, 2007. On November 30, 2009, IBTI changed its name to Go Solar USA, Inc. ("GUSA"). Since its inception, GUSA has focused on the development of solar powered products and consumer electronic devices. To date, GUSA has not generated revenues or earnings as a result of its activities.
On February 10, 2010, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with FRESCA WORLDWIDE TRADING, CORP., a Nevada corporation (“Fresca”). Upon closing of the transaction contemplated under the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”), GUSA merged with and into Fresca. As a result of the merger, Fresca was the surviving entity and immediately changed its name to Go Solar USA, Inc. after February 10, 2010.
In July, 2010, the Company acquired 100% of the ownership interest of Solar Investments, LLC, a Wyoming Limited Liability Corporation. On July 13, 2010, Solar Investments, LLC purchased patent rights for the solar forced air furnace. Solar Investments, LLC is classified as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Go Solar USA, LLC and does not have any material operations separate from Go Solar USA.
Business Development Activities
The Company does not currently sell any products or services, and has been developing several products over the past year. Our business model is to align ourselves with other companies and invest in the development of emerging solar and electronics technologies. We have entered into Profit Participation Agreements (“PPAs”) and invested in PREE Corporation, Yosion Technologies, Inc. and Xiamen Solar Electronics. An overview of our investments and the status of the development of our principal products are described below:
PREE Corporation
PREE Corporation (
“
PREE
”
) is developing a wireless charger called The PREEcharge. The device is a protective skin that utilizes new technology to harvest power from wireless radio-frequency (RF) signals, including those used by wireless local area networks (WLANs), code division multiple access (
“
CDMA
”
) transmissions (cell phone transmissions), Bluetooth (r) devices, and more. Once collected, the PREEcharge can apply this energy to portable devices such as smartphones and tablet computers in order to increase battery life. PREE’s advanced circuit board prototype includes a new antenna configuration designed to capture and convert wireless energy more efficiently. The PREEcharge also features solar cells to help supplement the power needs of mobile electronics.
On July 1, 2010, we signed a PPA with PREE whereby we agreed to make six payments of $5,000 in exchange for a 5% participation in the future net profits derived from the PREEcharge and other cell phone devices. On August 26, 2010, we provided additional funding to PREE in the amount of $10,000 for the development of the PREEcharge technology with the Apple iPad and to provide additional working capital to PREE. In exchange for this funding, PREE agreed to amend the prior PPA such that we would be entitled to 5% of the net income of PREE as opposed to the net profits from only the business segment for cell phone devices. Due to the uncertainty of future profits and cash flows potentially due to us from PREE, we expensed all payments made pursuant to the PPA. We have no further obligations under this PPA.
PREE has developed several prototypes and has demonstrated the usefulness of its technology. PREE has been working to raise capital and commercialize the PREEcharge as well as develop other new products. PREE filed a provisional patent application in October of 2010, and it is working toward issuance. In January of 2011, we entered negotiations with PREE for a licensing agreement that would provide us with exclusive distribution rights of the PREE Charge in China; however, we were unable to come to a final agreement. We currently have a 5% interest in the future net income of PREE Corporation.
Yosion Technologies, Inc.
Yosion Technologies, Inc., a Chinese company (
“
Yosion
”
) has been developing a wireless iPod accessory called the Apple Peel 520. The device is a sleeve that slips over Apple’s iPod Touch media player and adds the ability to make voice calls and send text messages, mimicking the functionality of the more expensive iPhone. The device interfaces electronically with the Touch, turning the powerful media player into a cutting-edge smartphone. In addition to Yosion’s Apple Peel 520 for the iPod, we funded the development of Yosion’s Apple Peel 520 to be used with Apple’s iPad and other tablet computer devices.
On October 14, 2010, we signed a PPA with Yosion. Under the terms of the PPA, we agreed to pay Yosion $5,000 per month for a term of six months in exchange for the right to receive 5% of the future net profits generated by Yosion. We made three payments of $5,000 under this PPA, and under the contract we owe three additional payments of $5,000. In addition on October 14, 2010, we signed a Distribution Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with Yosion. Under the terms of the Distribution Agreement, we were granted the exclusive right to promote, distribute and sell the Apple Peel 520 in North America for a period of three years.
In October 2010, we filed an application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office to trademark the name “ApplePeel 520”. As of the date of this filing, the trademark has not been issued. We maintain exclusive North American distribution rights as set forth in the Distribution Agreement. Due to the uncertainty of future profits and cash flows potentially due to us from Yosion, we expensed all payments made pursuant to the PPA. We continue to work to develop Yosion products for release in North America.
Xiamen Solar Electronics (“XSE”)
XSE is developing a solar cell phone battery pack and charger called the Volt Solar Charger. The device is an external battery pack that attaches to the iPhone and extends its battery life using a top-of-the-line, built-in solar panel. The Volt Solar Charger is capable of harvesting solar energy to charge all versions of the Apple iPhone with the same device. By capturing free, renewable solar power, the Volt recharges the iPhone’s battery first before charging its own internal battery, nearly doubling the smartphone’s talk time.
On January 5, 2011, we entered into a PPA with XSE to provide funding up to $66,000 in exchange for 5% of the future net profits generated by XSE. Under this agreement, XSE also granted us exclusive distribution rights for the Volt Solar Charger in North America. We have funded $33,000 to XSE and have vested in the pro-rata portion (2.5%) of the future net profits of XSE. Due to the uncertainty of future profits and cash flows potentially due to us from XSE, we expensed all payments made pursuant to the PPA. Under this agreement we have the obligation to pay certain royalties to XSE. We continue to work to develop the Volt Solar Charger to bring it to the U.S. market.
In February 2011, we filed an application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office to patent the Volt Solar Charger. The application is being processed and a patent has not been issued. The Volt Solar Chargers are currently in production in Shenzhen, China. XSE applied for and received the CE certification (denoting compliance with the consumer safety requirements of the various European Union countries), and to the best of our knowledge, this product complies with all government rules and regulations. We are working to introduce the Volt Solar Charger to the North American market and to further develop the technology for use with other products.
Solar Powered Furnace
In July 2010, we acquired the rights to certain technology for a solar forced air furnace, patent pending. We believe this new technology could provide a practical method of delivering forced air heat to homes in cold climates using solar energy. The solar forced air furnace is expected to be used as a stand-alone forced air heating system or in conjunction with an existing forced air furnace. The system is anticipated to provide hot air to heat commercial or residential spaces needing heat during cold weather. The device is designed to collect energy from the sun, concentrate it into heat and transfer that heat to a moving air stream which is circulated into various spaces. Under our agreement with the inventors, a 10% royalty payment will be paid on gross sales from the furnace.
In August 2010, we conducted initial tests on prototype equipment and confirmed that the solar forced air furnace system was generating substantial amounts of heat. Commercialization of this project is highly capital intensive and we will require additional financing to fully implement this technology. Although availability to capital is unusually scarce, we remain committed to this project and are striving to further develop this proprietary technology.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
Our business involves a high degree of risk. The following risk factors should be considered carefully in addition to the other information contained in this Form 10-K.
We are an early stage company, our business is evolving and our business prospects are difficult to evaluate.
We are an early stage company with very limited operating history. We have limited operating history that you can rely on in connection with an investment decision. Our prospects must be carefully considered in light of our history, our high capital costs, our exposure to operating losses and the other risks, uncertainties and difficulties that are typically encountered by companies that are implementing new business models. Some of the principal risks and difficulties we expect to encounter include our ability to:
|
|
Raise substantial capital to finance our planned expansion, together with the losses we may incur in the development stage;
|
|
|
Develop new products at the cost and on the time-table we project. We may encounter unexpected technical and legal challenges that may delay our implementation time line and/or increase our costs;
|
|
|
Develop, implement and maintain systems to ensure compliance with a variety of governmental and quasi-governmental rules, regulations and policies;
|
|
|
Adapt and successfully execute our rapidly evolving and inherently unpredictable business plan and respond to competitive developments and changing market conditions;
|
|
|
Attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel; and
|
Because of our lack of operating history and our early stage of development, we have limited insight into trends and conditions that may exist or might emerge and affect our business. There is no assurance that our business strategy will be successful or that we can or will successfully address these risks.
We have significant weaknesses in our system of internal controls that could subject us to regulatory scrutiny or impair investor confidence, which could adversely affect our business.
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires companies to perform a comprehensive evaluation of their internal controls. At present, our system of internal controls does not satisfy all applicable regulatory requirements. Future efforts to bring our system of internal controls into compliance with Section 404 and related regulations will likely require the commitment of significant financial and managerial resources. If we fail in that effort, we could be subject to regulatory scrutiny or suffer a loss of investor confidence, which could adversely affect our business.
We may engage in significant related party transactions with affiliates to raise capital that may give rise to conflicts of interest, result in significant losses to the Company or otherwise impair investor confidence, which could adversely affect our business.
We may engage in significant related party transactions with affiliates of the Company in order to provide the capital financing necessary to execute our business model.
We have been focused on the development of new technologies and, as such, have not generated revenues since inception. Investing in the Company before it has generated revenues and earnings provides substantial risk to any investor.
Investments in pre-revenue companies are characterized by a high degree of risk. Investors should take caution when considering our lack of revenue, earnings, and lengthy product development cycle. Although we believe that our capital investments in product development will ultimately generate revenues and earnings for the Company, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so.
We have limited assets that may be used to develop our products and execute our business plan. Our lack of assets may have an adverse impact on our ability to generate revenues and earnings.
We have limited financial and operational assets as well as limited long-term assets such as property, facilities and equipment to fully develop our products. We will need to raise additional capital to provide for a facility, purchase equipment and inventory, and fund the labor required to appropriately develop products in which we have made initial investments. Although we may not directly manufacture our products, the cost of outsourcing such manufacturing would take into account the aforementioned fixed and variable costs of production. Our lack of assets and the costs of acquiring such assets may impair our ability to generate meaningful revenues and earnings which may result in the decline of our stock price.
Our common stock is trading at level whereby the enterprise value of the Company is substantially larger than the book value of the Company’s assets. Should the company be unable to execute its business plan, investors should be aware that the market price of the stock may decline such that the market value and book value of the Company’s stock come into parity.
Because we are a development stage company without revenues or earnings, our future financial and operational performance is highly uncertain. Absent substantial capital infusions, which may cause significant dilution to current stockholders, the Company may not be in a position to execute is business plan. Even if the Company is sufficiently capitalized, there is no assurance that we will exit the development stage and generate meaningful revenues and earnings
.
Because our common stock is trading at a level whereby the enterprise value of the Company is substantially larger than the book value of the Company’s assets, investors may sustain losses should the market value of the Company’s stock and book value of the Company come into parity. Although we are confident that we will faithfully execute our business plan, there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so.
We have made, and expect to continue to make, investments in other companies for the development of new products which entitle us to a portion of that company’s future net income. The success of these investments depends on the ability of other companies to successfully develop, market, and sell new products; and generate revenues and earnings therefrom. The inability of Companies in which we invest to generate net income may adversely affect our financial performance and stock price.
There is no assurance that our investments in other companies will be beneficial to us in the future. In order for us to receive revenues from our investments, companies in which we invest must generate net income. Since the businesses in which we have been working with to make investments are of similar development stage, they must also overcome many of the risk factors and uncertainties contained herein. The success of these investments depends on the ability of other companies to successfully develop, market, and sell new products; and generate revenues and earnings therefrom. The inability of Companies in which we invest to generate net income may adversely affect our financial performance and stock price.
Our growth strategy may not be executed as planned which could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.
There can be no assurance that our rapidly evolving and inherently unpredictable growth strategy will be successful. For example, there can be no assurance that profit participation agreements that we have signed will materialize in generating revenue for the Company. Execution of our growth strategy, if achieved, may take longer than expected or cost more than expected. Our growth strategy is dependent upon many variables, including, but not limited to, market, legislative and regulatory dynamics. Any change to any of these dynamics could affect the execution our growth strategy, including causing management to change its strategy.
We may incur substantial losses in the future as we expand our operations and invest in the development of new products.
We will incur costs related to investing in new product development before we generate revenue from operations. We will continue to incur costs during this development phase. The foregoing costs and expenses will likely give rise to substantial near-term operating losses and may prevent the Company from achieving profitability for an extended period of time. We expect to rely on equity and debt financing to fund our operating losses and other cash requirements until we are able to generate profits from operations. If our net losses continue, we will experience negative cash flow, which will hamper current operations and prevent the Company from expanding. We may be unable to attain, sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future, which could require us to scale back or terminate our operations.
We cannot predict the future availability of tax incentives and other governmental subsidies.
Our business may benefit from a number of different government tax incentives and subsidies designed to encourage the development of alternative energy and reduce pollution. If federal and/or state governments decide to modify the subsidy regime in a way that significantly curtails the amount of available subsidies, the impact on the Company could be substantial. While we believe the existing tax incentives and other governmental subsidies are not likely to change rapidly; there is no assurance that future incentives will be comparable with current incentives. The repeal or a material reduction of the tax incentives and other subsidies would materially impact our revenue and could force us to suspend or terminate operations.
Introducing new products to the market is time consuming and expensive and may not ultimately result in an operating profit.
The cost associated with the introduction of new technologies can be very high and new product lines often generate substantial losses for an extended period of time before making a meaningful contribution to administrative overhead. There is no assurance that any potential products from which we may generate revenue will be successfully developed, or that our marketing activities will be successful or profitable. Even if we are ultimately successful, delays, additional expenses and other factors may significantly impair our potential profitability and there is no assurance that the Company will ever generate revenues or an operating profit.
We will be a small player in an intensely competitive industry and may be unable to compete.
The solar power industry in the United States is large and intensely competitive. Many of our competitors have substantially more financial and operational resources than us. As a result of this competition, our efforts to commercialize any products currently under development may be preempted, rendered obsolete, or priced out of the market by our competitors.
We may encounter legal actions related to intellectual property rights that could adversely affect our financial and operational performance, and cause our stock price to decline.
We may unknowingly infringe or be perceived to have infringed on our competitors’ intellectual property rights, which may result in legal actions against us. Conversely, other companies could infringe upon our intellectual property and begin commercializing our products and technology, which could cause us harm. Such actions could potentially impair our ability to market, distribute and sell certain products that we develop or distribute. Our competitors have significantly greater financial and legal resources to defend their intellectual property. Defending legal actions related to intellectual property rights could be very costly and could adversely affect our ability to execute our business plan and future financial performance.
Products that we are developing and/or distributing may be subject to certification and approval from regulatory agencies such as the Federal Communications Commission.
Products that we are developing or distributing may be subject to testing and certification from certain regulatory agencies including the Federal Communications Commission. Should our products, or products that we intend to distribute, fail to meet regulatory standards and attain such certifications, our ability to market, distribute and sell such products could be impaired. Attainment of FCC certifications can be costly and may lead to substantially longer product development timelines or prevent new products from coming to market entirely. Should we fail to attain FCC or other regulatory certifications, our financial and operational performance could be adversely affected and our stock price could decline.
We may issue additional shares of common stock or derivative securities that will dilute the percentage ownership interest of our existing shareholders and may dilute the book value per share of our common stock and adversely affect the terms on which the Company may obtain additional capital.
Our authorized capital includes 500,000,000 shares of common stock. The Board of Directors has the authority, without action by or vote of our shareholders, to issue all or part of the authorized shares of common and preferred stock for any corporate purpose, including for the conversion or retirement of debt. We are likely to seek additional equity capital in the future as we develop our business and expand our operations. Any issuance of additional shares of common stock or derivative securities, such as convertible promissory notes, will dilute the percentage ownership interest of our shareholders and may dilute the book value per share of our common stock. Additionally, the exercise or conversion of derivative securities could adversely affect the terms on which the Company can obtain additional capital. Holders of derivative securities are most likely to voluntarily exercise or convert their derivative securities when the exercise or conversion price is less than the market price for the underlying common stock. Holders of derivative securities will have the opportunity to profit from any rise in the market value of our common stock or any increase in our net worth without assuming the risks of ownership of the underlying shares of our common stock.
We are unlikely to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.
We have never declared or paid cash dividends and we do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. While our dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of our business, we believe any future earnings will be retained to finance ongoing operations and the expansion of our business.
Key management personnel may leave the company which could adversely affect the ability of the company to continue its development.
Because we are almost entirely dependent on the efforts of our Chairman and CEO, his departure or the loss of other key personnel in the future, could have a material adverse effect on our business. We do not maintain key man life insurance on any of our officers or directors.
If the Company is dissolved, it is unlikely that there will be sufficient assets remaining to distribute to our shareholders.
In the event of the dissolution of the Company, the proceeds realized from the liquidation of our assets, if any, will be used primarily to pay the claims of our creditors, if any, before there can be any distribution to the shareholders. In that case, the ability of equity investors to recover all or any portion of their investment will depend on the amount of funds realized and the claims to be satisfied therefrom.
If we are forced to incur unanticipated costs or expenses, we may have to suspend or cease our activities entirely which could result in a total loss of your investment.
Because we are a small business, with limited assets, we are not in a position to bear unanticipated costs and expenses. If we have to make changes in our structure or are faced with circumstances that are beyond our ability to afford, we may have to suspend or cease our activities entirely which could result in a total loss of your investment.
Competitors may enter our sector with superior products and impede or prevent our ability to effectively market and sell our products.
We have identified consumer demand in several markets for the products that we are developing. The markets for consumer electronics and other solar products are new and there are many emerging companies competing for market share. These companies, along with several established companies in the markets for our products, may be better capitalized than us, and therefore, able to take advantage of business opportunities that we cannot. In the event that competitors enter our sector with superior products, our ability to capture and retain market share may be adversely affected and may negatively affect your investment.
Our Chairman and CEO has substantial control over business decisions. Investors may find that his decisions are contrary to their interests. You should not invest in the Company unless you are willing to entrust all aspects of management to our Chairman and CEO, or his successors.
Our Chairman and CEO, has the ability to make most business decisions without the approval from shareholders. You should carefully consider this when evaluating our business and understand that his authority provides him with ample latitude to operate our business.
There is substantial uncertainty about our ability to continue as a going concern.
In their audit report included in this annual report, our auditors have expressed an opinion that substantial doubt exists as to whether we can continue as an ongoing business. We do not have revenues or profits and continue to require substantial capital to develop and sell our products. Because our activities have been financed with cash advances from a limited number of investors, we have a concentration of sources of funding. Failure to receive advances from our investors, or to replace that funding with new investment capital, may require us to suspend or cease our activities altogether which could result in the loss of your investment.

Common Stock
We are authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $0.001. The closing price of our common stock on April 29, 2011, as quoted by the OTC was $0.24. There are 65,425,890 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of April 29, 2011. All shares of common stock have one vote per share on all matters including election of directors, without provision for cumulative voting. The common stock is not redeemable and has no conversion or preemptive rights. The common stock currently outstanding is validly issued, fully paid and non- assessable. In the event of liquidation of the company, the holders of common stock will share equally in any balance of the Company's assets available for distribution to them after satisfaction of creditors and preferred shareholders, if any. The holders of common stock of the company are entitled to equal dividends and distributions per share with respect to the common stock when, as and if, declared by the board of directors from funds legally available.
Record Holders
As of April 29, 2011, there were approximately 450 holders of record of our common stock.
Dividends on Common Stock
Since inception, no dividends have been paid on our common stock. We have incurred losses since inception. However, should we become profitable, we intend to retain any earnings for use in our business activities. Therefore, it is not expected that any dividends on our common stock will be declared and paid in the foreseeable future.
Any future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors, after taking into account various factors, including among others, operations, current and anticipated cash needs and expansion plans, the income tax laws then in effect, the requirements of Nevada law, and any restrictions that may be imposed by our future credit arrangements.
Preferred Stock
Our authorized preferred stock consists of 10,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock. As of the date of this report, there are no shares of preferred stock outstanding. The Company’s preferred stock ranks senior to all other equity securities, including common stock. Dividends, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, shall be paid out of funds at the time legally available for such purpose.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
In the three years preceding the filing of this Form 10-K, we have issued and/or sold the following securities that were not registered under the Securities Act.
Convertible Notes
In July 2007, the predecessor to GUSA signed a promissory note with a stockholder in the amount of $500,000. The note bears 10% interest, is payable on demand and has no collateral. During the six months ended July 31, 2010 (prior to the amendment of the note as discussed below), the Company agreed to convert principal in the amount of $125,000 into 5,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company.
On August 1, 2010, the Company and the lender entered into an amendment of the note payable to a stockholder in the principal amount of $375,000 to allow for the conversion of the note and all accrued interest into shares of common stock of the Company at a rate of $0.01 per share. The amended note is payable on demand.
On August 20, 2010, the lender converted principal in the amount of $50,000 into 5,000,000 shares of common stock. On September 29, 2010, the lender converted principal in the amount of $75,000 into 7,500,000 shares of common stock. On November 12, 2010, five holders of the notes payable elected to convert notes in the amount of $20,000 each into 2,000,000 shares of common stock for each holder. This resulted in a conversion in the total amount of $100,000 of principal into a total of 10,000,000 shares of common stock. On December 20, 2010, the lender converted principal in the amount of $50,000 into 5,000,000 shares of common stock.
The issuance of the $500,000 note in July 2010, the amended note in August 2010, and the underlying common stock into which the notes were converted, were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Regulation D and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act due to the fact that they did not involve a public offering of securities. No underwriters were used in the offering, and there were no underwriting discounts or commissions. The issuances were made to accredited investors.
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including, without limitation, statements using words such as "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "estimate", "plan", and words and expressions of similar import, constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, and our actual results could differ from those anticipated in such statements as a result of these risks and uncertainties. In addition to the uncertainties stated elsewhere in this report, the factors which could affect these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, adverse changes in general economic conditions, including adverse changes in the specific markets for our products, adverse business conditions, increased competition, pricing pressures, lack of success in marketing our products and services, and other factors. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon such statements.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in connection with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto, as included in this report.
Results of Operations and Going Concern
We incurred a net loss of $9,113,385 for the year ended January 31, 2011, and had a working capital deficit of $864,062 as of January 31, 2011. We have incurred losses of $9,254,734 since inception and do not anticipate having positive net income in the immediate future. Net cash used by operations for the year ended January 31, 2011 was $547,378. These conditions create an uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
We continue to rely on advances to fund operating shortfalls and do not foresee a change in this situation in the immediate future. There can be no assurance that we will continue to have such advances available. We will not be able to continue operations without them. We are pursuing alternate sources of financing.
Results of Operations for the year ended January 31, 2011 compared to the year ended January 31, 2010
For the Period from Inception (June 12, 2007) to January 31, 2011, we have been in the development stage and therefore have not generated any revenues. For the year ended January 31, 2011, we incurred general and administrative expenses of $568,869 associated with the operations of the Company and the establishment of operations.
There was no general and administrative expense during the year ended January 31, 2010. In addition, we incurred amortization of intangible assets of $45,000 and impairment of intangible assets of $405,000 during the year ended January 31, 2011 with no such expenses in the same period of 2010. Interest expense totaled $599,516 for the year ended January 31, 2011 compared to $60,792 for the same period of 2010. Interest expense for the year ended January 31, 2011 includes the amortization of a discount on a note payable in the amount of $545,672.
We recognized a loss on conversion of debt of $7,375,000 for the year ended January 31, 2011. We recognized a loss on the issuance of a stock payable for intangible assets of $120,000 for the year ended January 31, 2011. For the years ended January 31, 2011 and 2010, we recognized a net loss of $9,113,385 and $60,792, respectively. The primary reasons for the increase in the net loss were due to the loss on conversion of debt of $7,375,000, the increase in general and administrative expenses and the increase in interest expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash used by operating activities was $547,378 for the year ended January 31, 2011.
We anticipate that we will require approximately $600,000 to fund our operations for the following 12 months. We continue to rely on advances from third parties to fund operating shortfalls and do not foresee a change in this situation in the immediate future. There can be no assurance that we will continue to have such advances available. We will not be able to continue operations without them.
We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures. However, should we execute our business plan as anticipated, we would incur substantial capital expenditures and require financings in addition to what is required to fund our present operations.
Additional Financing
Additional financing is required to continue operations. Although actively searching for available capital, the Company does not have any current arrangements for additional outside sources of financing and cannot provide any assurance that such financing will be available.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We entered into three Profit Participation Agreements (“PPA”) over the last 12 months. The nature, importance, expected revenues, cash flows, and continuing obligations are outlined below:
PREE Corporation.
On July 1, 2010, we signed a PPA with PREE Corporation (“PREE”) whereby we agreed to make six payments of $5,000 in exchange for a 5% participation in the future net profits derived from the PREEcharge and other cell phone devices. On August 26, 2010, we provided additional funding to PREE in the amount of $10,000 for the development of the PREEcharge technology with the Apple iPad and to provide additional working capital to PREE. In exchange for this funding, PREE agreed to amend the prior PPA such that we would be entitled to 5% of the net income of PREE as opposed to the net profits from only the business segment for cell phone devices. Due to the uncertainty of future profits and cash flows potentially due to us from PREE, we expensed all payments made pursuant to the PPA. We have no further obligations under this PPA.
Yosion Technologies, Inc.
On October 14, 2010, we signed a PPA with Yosion Technologies, a Chinese company (“Yosion”). Under the terms of the PPA, we agreed to pay Yosion $5,000 per month for a term of six months in exchange for the right to receive 5% of the future net profits generated by Yosion. In addition on October 14, 2010, we signed a distribution agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with Yosion. Under the terms of the Distribution Agreement, we were granted the exclusive right to promote, distribute and sell the ApplePeel 520 in North America for a period of three years. We made three payments of $5,000 under this PPA, and under the contract we owe three additional payments of $5,000. We maintain exclusive North American distribution rights as set forth in the Distribution Agreement. Due to the uncertainty of future profits and cash flows potentially due to us from Yosion, we expensed all payments made pursuant to the PPA. We continue to work to develop Yosion products for release in North America.
Xiamen Solar Electronics (“XSE”).
On January 5, 2011 we entered into a PPA with XSE to provide funding up to $66,000 in exchange for 5% of the future net profits generated by XSE. Under this Agreement, XSE also granted us exclusive distribution rights for the Volt Solar Charger in North America. We have funded $33,000 to XSE and have vested in the pro-rata portion (2.5%) of the future net profits of XSE. Due to the uncertainty of future profits and cash flows potentially due to us from XSE, we expensed all payments made pursuant to the PPA. We have no further obligations under this PPA. We continue to work to develop the Volt Solar Charger to bring it to the U.S. market.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
GO SOLAR USA, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of GO SOLAR USA, Inc., (a development stage company) as of January 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from June 12, 2007 (inception) through January 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 audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of GO SOLAR USA, Inc., as of January 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods described above in conformity with U.S. generally accepted principles.
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 not generated positive cash flow from operations since inception and is not expected to generate positive cash flow in the next twelve months, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

GO SOLAR USA, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
January 31, 2011
NOTE 1 –
DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY
In a Breeze Technologies, Inc. ("IBTI"), was incorporated in Wyoming on June 12, 2007. On November 30, 2009, IBTI changed its name to Go Solar USA, Inc. ("GUSA"). Since its inception, GUSA has focused on the development of solar powered products and consumer electronic devices. To date, GUSA has not generated revenues or earnings as a result of its activities.
Merger and Reorganization
On February 10, 2010, the Company entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Fresca Worldwide Trading Corp. (“Fresca”). Upon closing of the transaction contemplated under the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”), GUSA merged with and into Fresca. Fresca immediately affected a name change and has since been known as Go Solar USA, Inc. after February 10, 2010.
The Merger was accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization with GUSA being the continuing entity. GUSA is the acquirer for financial reporting purposes and Fresca is the acquired company. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the operations that will be reflected in the historical financial statements prior to the Merger will be those of GUSA and will be recorded at the historical cost basis of GUSA, and the consolidated financial statements after completion of the Merger will include the assets and liabilities of the Company and GUSA, historical operations of GUSA and operations of the Company from the closing date of the Merger.
Prior to the Merger Agreement, Fresca had re-entered the development stage. We intend to carry on the business of GUSA as our sole line of business. Upon closing of the Merger, we relocated our executive offices to 201 St. Charles Avenue, Suite 2500, New Orleans, LA 70170 and our telephone number is (504) 582-1110.
At the closing of the Merger, each share of GUSA common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger was exchanged for the right to receive 15 shares of our common stock. To the extent that there were fractional shares, such fractional shares have been rounded to the nearest whole share. Accordingly, an aggregate of 15,000,000 shares of our common stock were issued to the holders of GUSA common stock. The prior Fresca shareholders retained 2,100,000 shares of common stock.
NOTE 2 –
GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT PLANS
The Company sustained a loss of $9,113,385 for the year ended January 31, 2011, and as of January 31, 2011, had an accumulated deficit of $9,254,734. The Company has not generated positive cash flow from operations since inception and is not expected to generate positive cash flow from operations in the next twelve months.
These factors raise a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
The Company does not have the resources at this time to repay its credit and debt obligations, make any payments in the form of dividends to its shareholders or fully implement its business plan. Without additional capital, the Company will not be able to remain in business.
In addition to operational expenses, as the Company executes its business plan, it is incurring expenses related to complying with its public reporting requirements. In order to finance these expenditures, the Company has raised capital in the form of debt which will have to be repaid, as discussed in detail below. The Company has depended on this debt for much of its operating capital. On August 1, 2010, these loans were amended to be convertible at $0.01 per share and, given current market prices for the Company’s common stock, will cause significant dilution in ownership to existing shareholders if and when converted. Management anticipates the loans will be converted into common stock and that existing shareholders will make such conversions over the course of 12-36 months. The Company will need to raise capital in the next twelve months in order to remain in business.
Management anticipates that significant dilution will occur as the result of any future sales of the Company’s common stock and this will reduce the value of its outstanding shares. The Company cannot project the future level of dilution that will be experienced by investors as a result of its future financings, but it will significantly affect the value of its shares.
Management has plans to address the Company’s financial situation as follows:
In the near term, management plans to continue to focus on raising the funds necessary to fully implement the Company’s business plan. Management will continue to seek out debt financing to obtain the capital required to meet the Company’s financial obligations. There is no assurance, however, that lenders will continue to advance capital to the Company or that the new business operations will be profitable. The possibility of failure in obtaining additional funding and the potential inability to achieve profitability raise doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In the long term, management believes that the Company’s projects and initiatives will be successful and will provide cash flow to the Company which will be used to finance the Company’s future growth. However, there can be no assurances that the Company’s planned activities will be successful, or that the Company will ultimately attain profitability. The Company’s long term viability depends on its ability to obtain adequate sources of debt or equity funding to meet current commitments and fund the continuation of its business operations, and the ability of the Company to ultimately achieve adequate profitability and cash flows from operations to sustain its operations.
NOTE 3 –
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION – The Company’s financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the result of operations for the periods presented have been reflected herein. The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of Go Solar USA, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Solar Investments, LLC.
DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY – The Company is considered to be in the development stage as defined in ASC 915, “
Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises
”. The Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to the corporate formation, the raising of capital and attempting to generate initial revenues.
USE OF ESTIMATES – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS –The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances at one financial institution that is insured by the FDIC.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS – Intangible assets consist of a patent. The cost of intangible assets is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the patent.
VALUATION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS – In accordance with authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), related to accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, the carrying value of intangible assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that may suggest impairment. Some factors considered important, which could trigger an impairment review, include a significant decrease in the market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset could be used, a significant adverse change in the business climate that could affect the value of an asset, an accumulation of costs for an asset in excess of the amount originally expected, and a current expectation that, it is more likely than not, a long-lived asset will be disposed of at a loss before the end of its estimated useful life.
If any such facts or circumstances exist, the carrying value of long-lived assets are evaluated to determine if impairment exists based upon estimated undiscounted future cash flows over the remaining useful life of the assets and comparing that value to the carrying value of the assets. If the carrying value of the assets is greater than the estimated future cash flows, the assets are written down to the estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of the assets is based on a current market value of the assets. If a current market value is not readily available, a projected discounted cash flow method is applied using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the current business model. The Company determined that as of January 31, 2011, the intangible asset was impaired. Because the solar forced air furnace is in a very early stage of development, management was not able to make a reasonable prediction of expected future cash flows. If the Company is unable to develop a commercially viable product within the twelve months following the acquisition of the patent rights, then the stock that was issued for the acquisition will be returned to the Company. As of January 31, 2011, the asset was fully impaired and has been written down to $0. As a result, the Company recognized a loss on impairment of intangible asset of $405,000 for the year ended January 31, 2011. See Note 5.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
–
The Company follows the FASB standard related to fair value measurement. The standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. The standard applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and, accordingly, does not require any new fair value measurements. The standard clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The recorded values of long-term debt approximate their fair values, as interest approximates market rates. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the standard established a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows.
·
|
Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
|
·
|
Level 2. Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
|
·
|
Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
|
The Company’s financial instruments are cash, accounts payable and long-term debt. The recorded values of cash and accounts payable approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature.
The following table presents assets that were measured and recognized at fair value as of December 31, 2010 and the year then ended on a recurring basis:

INCOME TAXES
–
Income tax has been computed based on the results for the year as adjusted for items that are non-assessable or non-tax deductible.
The Company has adopted accounting rules under which the deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Deferred tax is calculated at rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. It is charged or credited to the income statement, except when it relates to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
–
Earnings (loss) per share are computed in accordance with current accounting literature. Basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in earnings of an entity. In a loss year, dilutive common equivalent shares are excluded from the loss per share calculation as the effect would be anti-dilutive.
RECENTLY ADOPTED AND RECENTLY ENACTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
ASC Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This update requires some new disclosures and clarifies some existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement as set forth in Codification Subtopic 820-10. The FASB’s objective is to improve these disclosures and, thus, increase the transparency in financial reporting. Specifically, ASU 2010-06 amends Codification Subtopic 820-10 to now require:
|
|
A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers; and
|
|
|
In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements.
|
In addition, ASU 2010-06 clarifies the requirements of the following existing disclosures:
|
|
For purposes of reporting fair value measurement for each class of assets and liabilities, a reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities; and
|
|
|
A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements.
|
ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
ASU No. 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. This update is to remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. Revised financial statements include financial statements revised as a result of either correction of an error or retrospective application of U.S. GAAP. The FASB also clarified that if the financial statements have been revised, then an entity that is not an SEC filer should disclose both the date that the financial statements were issued or available to be issued and the date the revised financial statements were issued or available to be issued. The FASB believes these amendments remove potential conflicts with the SEC’s literature.
In addition, the amendments in the ASU requires an entity that is a conduit bond obligor for conduit debt securities that are traded in a public market to evaluate subsequent events through the date of issuance of its financial statements and must disclose such date. All of the amendments in the ASU were effective upon issuance (February 24, 2010) except for the use of the issued date for conduit debt obligors. That amendment is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
ASU No. 2010-21, Accounting for Technical Amendments to Various SEC Rules and Schedules. This update amends various SEC paragraphs in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification pursuant to SEC Final Rule, “Technical Amendments to Rules Forms, Schedules and Codification of Financial Reporting Policies”. The adoption of this update did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
ASU No. 2010-22, Accounting for Various Topics. This update amends various SEC paragraphs in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification based on external comments received and the issuance of Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 112 which amends or rescinds portion of certain SAB topics. SAB 112 was issued to bring existing SEC guidance into conformity with ASC 805 “Business Combination” and ASC 810 “Consolidation”. The adoption of this update did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
ASU No. 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. This update reflects the decision reached in EITF Issue No. 10-G. The amendments in this ASU affect any public entity as defined by Topic 805, Business Combinations, that enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or aggregate basis. The amendments in this ASU specify 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(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures 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. The amendments are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.

PROFIT PARTICIPATION AGREEMENTS
On July 1, 2010, the Company signed a Profit Participation Agreement (“PPA”) with PREE Corporation (“PREE”). Under the terms of the PPA, the Company agreed to make six monthly payments of $5,000 beginning in July 2010. In return, the Company received a 5% interest in PREE’s net profits of technology sold for use with cell phones. The PPA lasts for three years and the Company
’
s interest in PREE
’
s net profits vests nine months after the signing of the agreement. The Company has determined that the PPA has no value based on the uncertainty of the counterparty earning a profit during the term of the agreement. As a result, the Company expensed the payments made each month. On August 26, 2010, the PPA was amended to give the Company a 5% interest in PREE
’
s net income. As consideration for this amendment, the Company made an additional payment of $10,000.
On September 1, 2010, we signed an option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with Yosion Technologies, Inc., a Chinese company (
“
Yosion
”
). Under the terms of the Option Agreement, we had the right to conduct a due diligence review of Yosion. At all times, Yosion retained full ownership of this technology. The Option Agreement had a term of 90 days. The Company agreed to pay Yosion the sum of $20,000 for these option rights.
On October 14, 2010, we signed a PPA with Yosion. Under the terms of the PPA, we agreed to pay Yosion $5,000 per month for a term of six months in exchange for the right to receive 5% of the future net profits generated by Yosion. We made three payments of $5,000 under this PPA, and under PPA we owe three additional payments of $5,000. We continue to work toward developing Yosion technologies for release in North America.
Xiamen Solar Electronics (“XSE”).
On January 5, 2011 we entered into a PPA with XSE to provide funding up to $66,000 in exchange for 5% of the future net profits generated by XSE. Under this Agreement, XSE also granted us exclusive distribution rights for the Volt Solar Charger in North America. We have funded $33,000 to XSE and have vested in the pro-rata portion (2.5%) of the future net profits of XSE. Due to the uncertainty of future profits and cash flows potentially due to us from XSE, we expensed all payments made pursuant to the PPA. We have no further obligations under this PPA. We continue to work to develop the Volt Solar Charger to bring it to the U.S. market.
NOTE 5 –
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
On July 13, 2010, GUSA agreed to issue shares of common stock worth $450,000 to acquire certain intangible assets related to patent rights. GUSA determined that it was required to issue 600,000 shares on the closing date, July 30, 2010. On that date, the closing stock price was $0.75 per share. For accounting purposes, the shares were valued at $570,000 ($0.95 per share) based on the market price of the stock on the date of the agreement. GUSA has determined that the value of the intangible asset acquired is $450,000, which was the negotiated purchase price. This amount has been recorded as an intangible asset on the balance sheet and is being amortized over the life of the underlying patent rights of five years. The difference between the value of the stock of $570,000 and the value of the intangible asset of $450,000, has been recorded as a loss on issuance of stock payable for intangible asset in the amount of $120,000 in the statement of operations. The shares were issued on August 5, 2010. If GUSA fails to develop and market a commercial version of the technology within twelve months from the date of acquisition, all rights to the patent would revert to the sellers upon their return of the 600,000 shares of common stock.
For the year ended January 31, 2011, the Company realized amortization expense of $45,000. The Company determined that as of January 31, 2011, the intangible asset was impaired. Because the solar forced air furnace is in a very early stage of development, management was not able to make a reasonable prediction of expected future cash flows. If the Company is unable to develop a commercially viable product within the twelve months following the acquisition of the patent rights, then the stock that was issued for the acquisition will be returned to the Company. As of January 31, 2011, these shares of the Company’s common stock were valued at $126,000. Although the Company could demand the return of the shares of common stock if it determines that it cannot develop a commercially viable product within twelve months, management has determined that it is not proper to use the value of these shares of common stock to support the value of the intangible assets. As of January 31, 2011, the asset has been written down to $0, and the Company recognized a loss on impairment of intangible asset of $405,000 for the year ended January 31, 2011. The net carrying value of the intangible asset is $0 as of January 31, 2011.
NOTE 6 –
NOTES PAYABLE
In July, 2007, the predecessor to GUSA signed a promissory note with a stockholder in the amount of $500,000. This note has been extended for additional one-year terms on each anniversary date. The note bears 10% interest, is payable on demand and has no collateral. During the six months ended July 31, 2010 (prior to the amendment of the note as discussed below), the Company agreed to convert principal in the amount of $125,000 into 5,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The shares were valued at $7,500,000 based on the market price of the stock on the date of the transaction. As a result, the Company recognized a loss of $7,375,000 on the conversion of the debt. The shares were issued on May 5, 2010.
On August 1, 2010, the Company and the lender entered into an amendment of the note payable to a stockholder in the principal amount of $375,000 to allow for the conversion of the note and all accrued interest into shares of common stock of the Company at a rate of $0.01 per share. The amended note is payable on demand. The Company accounted for the amendment of the note as an extinguishment and reissuance of the debt, because the amendment resulted in creating a conversion feature which did not exist in the original debt. No loss was recognized on the extinguishment of the debt, because there was no difference in the present value of the expected cash flows. The Company has determined that the conversion feature represents a beneficial conversion feature based on the difference between the conversion price and the market price of the stock on the date of the transaction. As a result, the Company recorded a discount in the amount of $545,672 on August 1, 2010. The discount was immediately amortized to interest expense on August 1, 2010 based on the fact that the note was due on demand.
On August 20, 2010, the lender converted principal in the amount of $50,000 into 5,000,000 shares of common stock. On September 29, 2010, the lender converted principal in the amount of $75,000 into 7,500,000 shares of common stock. On November 12, 2010, five holders of the notes payable elected to convert notes in the amount of $20,000 each into 2,000,000 shares of common stock for each holder. This resulted in a conversion in the total amount of $100,000 of principal into a total of 10,000,000 shares of common stock. On December 20, 2010, the lender converted principal in the amount of $50,000 into 5,000,000 shares of common stock.
As of January 31, 2011, the principal balance was $100,000 and accrued interest was $195,192.
On February 4, 2011, the lender converted principal in the amount of $100,000 into 10,000,000 shares of common stock.
NOTE 7 –
ADVANCES FROM THIRD PARTIES
During the year ended January 31, 2011, the Company received net, non-interest bearing advances from certain third parties totaling $566,840. The total amount due under these advances as of January 31, 2011 was $567,040. These advances are not collateralized and are due on demand.
On April 13, 2011, the Company agreed with the lender to convert advances in the amount of $52,259 into 5,225,890 shares of common stock. The common stock was valued at $1,515,508 on the date of issuance based on the closing market price of the stock on that date. As a result, the Company recognized a loss on conversion of debt in the amount of $1,463,249 during the first quarter of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2012.
NOTE 8 –
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740-10, which requires use of the liability method. FASB ASC 740-10-25 provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as temporary differences.
As of January 31, 2011, the Company incurred a net operating loss and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets. At January 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had approximately $623,000 and $61,000 of federal net operating losses, respectively. The net operating loss carry forwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2027.
The components of the Company’s deferred tax asset are as follows:

Based on the available objective evidence, including the Company’s history of its loss, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company provided for a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at January 31, 2011 and 2010. The Company had no uncertain tax positions as of January 31, 2011.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. To address the material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2011. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We have identified the following material weaknesses;
1.
|
As of January 31, 2011, we did not maintain effective controls over the control environment. Specifically we have not developed and effectively communicated to our employees our accounting policies and procedures. This has resulted in inconsistent practices. Further, the Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-B. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.
|
2.
|
As of January 31, 2011, we did not maintain effective controls over financial statement disclosure. Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
|
Because of these material weaknesses, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2011, based on the criteria established in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework" issued by the COSO.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company

’
s report was not subject to attestation by the Company
’

Change In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended January 31, 2011, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

He is not covered under an employment agreement and does not own any shares of our stock. He began serving as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (
“
CEO
”
)in August 2010.
Maurice Stone.
Mr. Stone is a leading member of our business development efforts and brings with him over 27 years of extensive entrepreneurial and business management experience. He is the Chairman of the prestigious Energy Committee of the National Black Chamber of Commerce. He also serves as the Chairman and CEO of National Clean Fuels, Inc., an alternative fuels company. From March 2005 to November 2007, Mr. Stone served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Intrepid Holdings, Inc., an OTCBB-listed healthcare company. While there, he was responsible for the overall management and supervision of the company’s business, including multi-site clinic services, pharmacy operations, and real estate development and management. Mr. Stone earned his bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering, with a minor in Finance from Memphis State University in 1981. He was appointed a director in August 2010.
Composition of the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors (
“
Board
”
) has responsibility for establishing broad corporate policies and reviewing our overall performance rather than day-to-day operations. The primary responsibility of the Board is to oversee the general direction and management of the Company and, in doing so, serve the best interests of the Company and our shareholders. The Board selects, evaluates and provides for the succession of executive officers and, subject to shareholder election, directors. It reviews and approves corporate objectives and strategies, and evaluates significant policies and proposed major commitments of corporate resources. Our Board also participates in decisions that have a potential major economic impact on our company. Management keeps the directors informed of Company activity through regular communication.
Our Board currently consists of two members: Messrs. Tyson Rohde and Maurice Stone. Each of our directors is elected annually at our annual meeting. All board action requires the approval of a majority of the directors in attendance at a meeting at which a quorum is present. We will increase the size of our board of directors as we deem necessary to accommodate the growth of our business.
Independence
As of the date hereof, the Company has not adopted a standard of independence nor does it have a policy with respect to independence requirements for its direcors or that a majority of its Board be comprised of “independent directors.” As of the date hereof, none of our directors would qualify as “independent” under any recognized standards of independence.
Board Committees
We do not currently have a standing audit, nominating or compensation committee of the Board, or any committee performing similar functions. Our Board performs the functions of audit, nominating and compensation committees. As of the date of this filing, no member of our Board qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Since the Board currently consists of two members, it does not believe that establishing separate audit, nominating or compensation committees is necessary for effective governance.
Shareholder Communications
Shareholders who wish to communicate with any or all members of the Board of Directors may write to them in care of the Corporate Secretary, Go Solar USA, Inc., 201 St. Charles Ave., #2500, New Orleans, LA 70170. All such communications which raise issues of significant interest to all shareholders generally, as determined by the Company in consultation with counsel when appropriate, will be referred to the appropriate director or directors as specified in the communication.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Based solely upon review of Forms 3, 4, and 5 furnished to us during the most recent fiscal year, we believe that all persons required to file reports pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act have done so in a timely manner.
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our Directors and Executive Officers, and persons who own beneficially more than ten percent of our common stock, to file reports of their stock ownership and changes of their stock ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based solely on the reports we have received and on written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that the directors, executive officers, and our greater than ten percent beneficial owners have complied with all applicable filing requirements for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2011.
Code of Ethics
Our Board of Directors has discussed the adoption of a code of business conduct and ethics for directors, officers and employees but has not yet adopted a Code of Ethics. The Board does not believe that a Code of Ethics is necessary at this time, given the Company
’
s small size. However, it is anticipated that the Board of Directors will adopt a Code of Ethics in the near future. Upon adoption of a Code of Ethics, we will comply with all SEC reporting requirements.
Procedure for Nominating Directors
We have not made any material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our Board. The Board does not have a written policy or charter regarding how director candidates are evaluated or nominated for the Board. Additionally, the Board has not created particular qualifications or minimum standards that candidates for the Board must meet. Instead, the Board considers how a candidate could contribute to the Company's business and meet the needs of the Company and the Board.
The board will consider candidates for director recommended by our shareholders. Candidates recommended by shareholders are evaluated with the same methodology as candidates recommended by management or members of the board. To refer a candidate for director, please send a resume or detailed description of the candidate's background and experience with a letter describing the candidate's interest in the Company to Go Solar USA, Inc., 201 St. Charles Ave., #2500, New Orleans, LA 70170. All candidate referrals are reviewed by at least one current board member.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships among our directors, executive officers or persons nominated to become executive officers or directors.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
During the past five (5) years, none of our directors, persons nominated to become directors, executive officers, promoters or control persons:
|
▪
|
was a general partner or executive officer of any business against which any bankruptcy petition was filed, either at the time of the bankruptcy or two (2) years prior to that time;
|
|
▪
|
was convicted in a criminal proceeding or named subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);
|

|
|
▪
|
was found by a court of competent jurisdiction (civil action), the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.
|
Arrangements
There are no arrangements or understandings between an executive officer, director or nominee and any other person pursuant to which he was or is to be selected as an executive officer or director.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

Director Compensation
We reimburse our directors for all reasonable ordinary and necessary business related expenses, but we did not pay director's fees or other cash compensation for services rendered as a director in the year ended January 31, 2011. We have no standard arrangement pursuant to which our directors are compensated for their services in their capacity as directors. We expect to pay fees for services rendered as a director when and if additional directors are appointed to the board of directors.

Under Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on January 31, 2011.
|
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

(B)
