ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
 
On May 28, 2010, we entered into and closed a share exchange agreement with Leeward Group, Inc. a Delaware corporation, and the shareholders of Leeward.  Pursuant to the terms of the share exchange agreement, we have acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Leeward’s common stock in exchange for the issuance by our company of 65,000,000 shares of our common stock to the shareholders of Leeward.
 
Business of  Leeward Group, Inc .
 
Leeward is a diversified retail insurance agency and risk consulting group.  It sells property, casualty, life and health insurance products to customers and creates and administers insurance programs and risk management services including reinsurance brokerage.  It acts as a broker or agent.                    .
 
The closing of the transactions contemplated in the share exchange agreement and the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common stock in the capital of Leeward occurred on May 28, 2010. Please refer to the information provided under Item 2.01 of this current report for information related to the share exchange agreement and our business as a result of the acquisition.
 
Concurrently with the closing of the share exchange agreement, we entered into a stock purchase agreement for the disposition of our wholly owned subsidiary, Principle Security International Incorporated, to our former director and officer, Charles Payne, for the purchase price of $1.00.
 
ITEM 2.01 COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
 
On May 28, 2010, we entered into a share exchange agreement with Leeward Group Inc. and the shareholders of Leeward. The closing of the transactions contemplated in the share exchange agreement and the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of Leeward also occurred on May 28, 2010.  In accordance with the closing of the share exchange agreement, we issued 65,000,000 shares of our common stock to the former shareholders of Leeward in exchange for the acquisition, by our company, of all of the 12,105,802 issued and outstanding shares of Leeward.

As set out in the share exchange agreement, the closing of the share exchange agreement was subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, including, among others, the following:
 
1.
The representations and warranties of Leeward Group, Inc., it’s shareholders and our company set forth in the share exchange agreement remain true, correct and complete in all respects as of the closing;
2.
All of the covenants and obligations that the respective parties are required to perform or to comply with pursuant to the share exchange agreement at or prior to the closing must have been performed and complied with in all material respects;
3.
Leeward Group, Inc. and our company having received duly executed copies of all third party consents and approvals contemplated by the share exchange agreement, if any;
4.
Leeward Group, Inc. and our company having been reasonably satisfied with their due diligence investigations of the other party that is reasonable and customary in a similar transaction; and
5.
Leeward Group, Inc. will have delivered to our company audited financial statements prepared in accordance with United States GAAP and audited by an independent auditor registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in the United States.
 
Our company had 23,010,225 common shares issued and outstanding as of May 28, 2010 immediately prior to the closing of the share exchange agreement, and 100,000,000 shares issued and outstanding upon closing of the share exchange agreement, as a result of the issuance of 65,000,000 common shares in connection with the closing of the share exchange agreement and the concurrent issuance of 11,989,775 to HE Capital.  As of the closing date, the former shareholders of Leeward Group, Inc. held 65% of the issued and outstanding common shares of our company.  The issuance of the 65,000,000 common shares to the former shareholders of Leeward Group, Inc. was deemed to be a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes.  Leeward Group, Inc., the acquired entity, is regarded as the predecessor entity as of May 28, 2010.  Starting with the periodic report for the quarter in which the acquisition was consummated, our company will file annual and quarterly reports based on the December 31st fiscal year end of Leeward Group, Inc. Such financial statements will depict the operating results of Leeward Group, Inc., including the acquisition of our company, from May 28, 2010.
 
Concurrently with the closing of the share exchange agreement, we entered into a stock purchase agreement for the disposition of our wholly owned subsidiary, Principle Security International Incorporated, to our former director and officer, Charles Payne, for the purchase price of $1.00.
 
Because we were a shell company before our acquisition of all of the common stock of Leeward Group, Inc., we have included in this Current Report on Form 8-K, the information on our company that would be required if we were filing a general form for registration of securities on Form 10.
 
We are a development stage company. For further details on our business, please see the section entitled “Description of Our Business” beginning on page 3.
 
BUSINESS
 
General Overview and Business Development over the Last Three Years

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 27, 2006.  We have been a development stage company. Through our wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, Principle Security International Incorporated, we were working towards the establishment of a customer service oriented security firm specializing in uniformed guard services, private investigations and a training facility for security personnel. We have not yet generated or realized any revenues from our business operations.
 
Since inception, we had been implementing the early phases of our business plans, including the establishment of our office, making application for our security business license, making application and scouting locations for our accredited security training facility, making application for our surety bond, registering the URL address necessary to create our website, building a database of potential clients, commencing interviews to hire a salesperson, designing our corporate logos/badges and ordering uniforms.  On December 15, 2006, we obtained our surety bond in the amount of as required by the Private Investigators and Security Agencies Act. This bond enabled us to make application for a security business license. On January 3, 2007, we were granted our security business license.  On September 8, 2008, we received a two-year approval to operate a security training school under the name “Principle Security Training Academy”.

However, we have not been able to achieve commercially viable operations for our proposed security company business and as a result had been investigating further opportunities to maintain and enhance shareholder value.
 
On May 28, 2010, we entered into a share exchange agreement with Leeward Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and the shareholders of Leeward Group, Inc. The closing of the transactions contemplated in the share exchange agreement and the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of Leeward Group, Inc. also occurred on May 28, 2010.  In accordance with the closing of the share exchange agreement, we issued 65,000,000 shares of our common stock to the former shareholders of Leeward Group, Inc. in exchange for the acquisition, by our company, of all of the 12,105,802 issued and outstanding shares of Leeward Group, Inc.
 
Corporate History of Leeward Group, Inc. and Corporate Structure
 
Leeward Group, Inc., a Delaware company, was incorporated on June 24, 2008.
 
Business Subsequent to the Closing of the Share Exchange Agreement

As of the closing date of the share exchange agreement on May 28, 2010 we commenced the business of a diversified retail insurance agency and risk consulting group.  We sell property, casualty, life and health insurance products to customers; we create and administer insurance programs and risk management services including reinsurance brokerage.  We act as a broker or agent.  We do not assume any underwriting risks.  We provide our customers with insurance contracts underwritten by insurance companies that assume the underwriting risks.  We are headquartered in Pennington, New Jersey.
 
As of December 31, 2009, our group employed 16 full time equivalent persons. Our insurance agency and program business provides a broad range of insurance products and services to commercial, professional and individual customers. We have multiple locations in the northeast to provide sales and servicing for our customers. The categories of insurance we principally sell include: property insurance relating to physical damage to property; casualty insurance relating to legal liabilities, workers’ compensation, commercial and private passenger automobile coverages; and fidelity and surety bonds. In addition, we sell and service group and individual life, accident, disability, health, hospitalization, medical and dental insurance.

Our program business markets specialty products and services to associations, industries and businesses.  We have three insurance programs: 1) hotel umbrella insurance for franchise hotels; 2) personal umbrella for lawyers; and 3) mobile phone insurance program for telecommunications companies.

Our Franchise Hotel Umbrella program provides umbrella insurance policies for limited service franchise hotels and motels and offers limits of $5 Million, $10 Million and $15 Million.

Our Personal Umbrella Product for Lawyers provides  personal umbrella insurance for lawyers with limits to $10 Million.

Our Cellphone Program provides coverage for loss, theft or accidental damage to a cellphone. It is distributed to consumers through rural telecommunications companies nationwide.

We are compensated for our services primarily by the commissions received from the sale of insurance contracts to our clients.  The commissions are usually a percentage of the insurance premiums paid by the insured.  Commission rates generally vary with the type of insurance sold and the insurance company that underwrites the insurance policy.  We may also receive a “profit sharing contingent commission” from an insurance company which is primarily based on the underwriting results, growth, overall volume and/or retention.  The amount of revenue from commissions and fees fluctuates based on factors such as insurance premiums, retention rates of existing customers, growth rates of new customers, and the type of insurance.

Employees

As of December 31, 2009 we had 16 full time equivalent employees.  None of our employees are represented by a labor union, and we consider our relations with our employees to be satisfactory.

Customers
 
For the year ended December 31, 2009, approximately 9.6%, 6.8%, 6.0%, 5.8%, 5.5% and 5.2%, respectively, of our total revenues were derived from insurance policies underwritten by six separate insurance companies. If one or more of these insurance companies were to seek to terminate their contract with us, we believe that other insurance companies are available to underwrite the business, although some additional expense and loss of market share could possibly result. No other insurance company accounts for 5% or more of our total revenues.   No material part of our insurance agency and program business is attributable to a single customer.  During 2009, commissions and fees from our largest single customer represented less than one percent of the total commissions and fees revenue.
 
Competition

Competition in the insurance intermediary sector is based on quality of service, price of insurance premiums, policy coverage and innovation.   Overall the insurance intermediary industry is a highly competitive industry with multiple distribution channels.  There are numerous firms providing insurance intermediary services: brokers, financial institutions, independent insurance agents, and insurance companies through direct sales, internet sales and captive insurance agents.  A number of large regionally based insurance intermediaries with substantially greater resources and market presence compete with us in the northeast United States and elsewhere.

In 2008, the US Insurance Industry had net premiums written of $1.1 Trillion with approximately, $441 Billion in Property and Casualty insurance premiums written and $628 Billion in Life and Health insurance premiums.  There are 2,741 Property and Casualty insurance companies and 1,128 Life and Health insurance companies in the United States.  There are 2.3 million people employed in the insurance industry with 907,000 employed in the insurance intermediary sector. It is estimated, Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America in their 2008 Agency University Study released in 2009 that there are approximately 37,500 independent insurance agencies in the United States.  Of that it is estimated that 17% of the independent insurance agencies (6,375) had commission revenue less than $150,000; 54% of the agencies (20,250) had commission revenues between $150,000 and $1.25 million.   It is further estimated that 13% of the agencies (4,875) had revenues between $1.25 million and $2.5 million; and 14% of the agencies (5,250) had revenues between $2.5 million and $10 million.

The distribution of insurance distribution channels are segmented as follows: direct sales- insurance company sales to customers; captive insurance agency- agencies owned by or franchised by insurance companies that market the insurance company’s products and services; and the independent insurance agency- agencies that are independently owned that market multiple products for multiple insurance companies, and Internet.

Distribution

Our products are distributed through our retail agencies and insurance producers; and our insurance programs are distributed on a wholesale basis through non-affiliated insurance agencies and associations.

We market our products through referrals, signage, electronic marketing through the internet, lead and appointment setting services.  Our internet capabilities allow us to provide an insurance indication for a potential customer in minutes.

We are licensed individually or corporately in 50 states with offices in New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Massachusetts.

Compliance with Government Regulation

The insurance industry is a state-regulated industry.  Insurance laws are enacted, amended and adjudicated on a state level.  Given our business is concentrated in a few states, we have a greater risk exposure to unfavorable changes in the regulatory environment, laws, judicial decisions, adverse economic conditions, natural or other disasters in those states than more geographically diversified insurance intermediaries.

We are licensed individually or corporately in 50 states with offices in New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Massachusetts.  We and/or designated employees must be licensed to act as agents or brokers by state regulatory authorities in states in which we conduct business.  Regulations and are often complex and vary by state.  All

applicable laws and regulations are subject to interpretation, change and/or amendment by the individual state regulatory and/or legislative governing bodies.  Such regulatory authorities have broad discretion as to granting, renewing and revoking licenses; issuing fines and/or penalties.  The possibility exists that we and/or our employees could be excluded or temporarily suspended from conducting insurance intermediary services and/or all of our activities by a particular state.
 
Subsidiaries
 
As of this date, Leeward has two operating subsidiaries, Sangamon Associates, Inc. and Flagship Insurance Agency, Inc.
 
Intellectual Property
 
We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patent or trademark.

 
RISK FACTORS

 
Our business operations are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to those set forth below:
 
Risks Related to our Business
 
Volatility or declines in premiums or other adverse trends in the insurance industry may seriously undermine Leeward’s profitability.
 
Leeward derives much of its revenue from commissions and fees for its brokerage services. Leeward does not determine the insurance premiums on which its commissions are generally based. Moreover, insurance premiums are cyclical in nature and may vary widely based on market conditions. Because of these market cycles for insurance product pricing, which Leeward cannot predict or control, its brokerage revenues and profitability can be volatile or remain depressed for significant periods of time.
 
As traditional risk-bearing insurance companies continue to outsource the production of premium revenue to non-affiliated brokers or agents such as Leeward, those insurance companies may seek to reduce further their expenses by reducing the commission rates payable to insurance agents or brokers. The reduction of these commission rates, along with general volatility and/or declines in premiums, may significantly affect Leeward’s profitability. Because Leeward does not determine the timing or extent of premium pricing changes, Leeward cannot accurately forecast its commission revenues, including whether they will significantly decline. As a result, Leeward’s budgets for future acquisitions, capital expenditures, dividend payments, loan repayments and other expenditures may have to be adjusted to account for unexpected changes in revenues, and any decreases in premium rates may adversely affect the results of its operations.
 
In addition, there have been and may continue to be various trends in the insurance industry toward alternative insurance markets including, among other things, greater levels of self-insurance, captives, rent-a-captives, risk retention groups and non-insurance capital markets-based solutions to traditional insurance. While Leeward historically has been able to participate in certain of these activities on behalf of its customers and obtain fee revenue for such services, there can be no assurance that Leeward will realize revenues and profitability as favorable as those realized from its traditional brokerage activities.
 
Leeward faces significant competitive pressures in each of its businesses.
 
The insurance brokerage and service business is highly competitive and there are many insurance brokerage and service organizations as well as individuals on a global basis who actively compete with Leeward in one or more areas of its business. Leeward competes with many firms that are significantly larger than Leeward, in terms of revenues, in the brokerage markets. In addition, there are various other competing firms that operate nationally or that are strong in a particular region or locality and may have, in that region or locality, an office that is as large as or larger than, in terms of revenues, the particular local office of Leeward. Leeward believes that the primary factors determining its competitive position with other organizations in its industry are the quality of the services rendered and the overall costs to its clients. Losing business to competitors offering similar products at lower prices or having other competitive advantages would adversely affect Leeward’s business.
 
 
6

 
In addition, the increase in competition due to new legislative or industry developments could adversely affect Leeward. These developments include:
 
 
 
An increase in capital-raising by insurance underwriting companies, which could result in new capital in the industry, which in turn may lead to lower insurance premiums and commissions;
 
 
 
The selling of insurance by insurance companies directly to insureds without the involvement of a broker or other intermediary;
 
 
 
Changes in Leeward’s business compensation model as a result of regulatory developments;
 
 
 
The establishment of programs by Federal and state governments to provide health insurance or, in certain cases, property insurance in catastrophe-prone areas or other alternative market types of coverage, which compete with, or completely replace, insurance products offered by insurance carriers; and
 
 
 
An increase in competition from new market participants such as banks, accounting firms and consulting firms offering risk management or insurance brokerage services.
 
 
New competition as a result of these or other competitive or industry developments could cause the demand for Leeward’s products and services to change, which could in turn adversely affect Leeward’s results of operations and financial condition.
 
The current disruption in the global credit markets and instability of financial systems, and a continuation or worsening of the current economic recession, may adversely affect Leeward’s results of operations and financial condition.
 
The current disruption in the global credit markets, the repricing of credit risk and the deterioration of the financial and real estate markets have created increasingly difficult conditions for financial institutions and certain insurance companies. These conditions include significant losses, greater volatility, significantly less liquidity, widening of credit spreads and a lack of price transparency in certain markets. These conditions have resulted in the failure of a number of financial institutions and unprecedented action by governmental authorities and central banks around the world, including investing in or lending money to financial institutions and insurance companies that are perceived to need additional capital. It is difficult to predict how long these conditions will persist and the extent to which Leeward’s markets, products and business will be adversely affected.
 
These unprecedented disruptions in the credit and financial markets and the resulting impact on a number of financial institutions have limited access to capital and credit for many companies. The failure of a lender could adversely affect its ability to borrow on that facility, which over time could negatively impact Leeward’s ability to consummate significant acquisitions or make other significant capital expenditures. Continued adverse conditions in the credit markets in future years could adversely affect the availability and terms of future borrowings, renewals or refinancings.
 
The disruptions in the credit and financial markets also led to a general deterioration in the economy, which could adversely impact Leeward in future years as a result of reductions in the overall amount of insurance coverage that its clients purchase due to reductions in their headcount, payroll, properties, and the market values of assets, among other factors. Such reductions could also adversely impact Leeward’s commission revenues when exposure audits by the carriers are performed and if subsequent downward premium adjustments are determined. The income effects of subsequent premium adjustments are recorded when the adjustments become known, and, as a result, any improvement in Leeward’s results of operations and financial condition may lag an improvement in the economy. In addition, some of Leeward’s clients may cease operations completely in the event of a prolonged deterioration in the economy, which would have an adverse effect on Leeward’s results of operations and financial condition. Leeward also has a significant amount of trade accounts receivable from some of the insurance companies with which it places insurance. If those insurance companies experience liquidity problems or other financial difficulties, Leeward could encounter delays or defaults in payments owed to Leeward, which could have a significant adverse impact on Leeward’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations. In addition, if a significant insurer fails or withdraws from writing certain insurance coverages that Leeward offers its clients, overall capacity in the industry could be negatively affected, which could reduce Leeward’s placement of certain lines and types of insurance and, as a result, reduce its revenues and profitability. The failure of an insurer with whom Leeward places business could also result in errors and omissions claims by Leeward’s clients, which could adversely affect Leeward’s results of operations and financial condition.

Leeward has historically engaged in a number of acquisitions of insurance brokers and agencies. Leeward may not be able to continue to implement such an acquisition strategy in the future and there are risks associated with such acquisitions.
 
In the past several years, Leeward has completed numerous acquisitions of insurance brokers and agencies and may continue to make such acquisitions in the future. Leeward’s acquisition program has been an important part of its historical growth and Leeward believes that similar acquisition activity will be critical to maintaining comparable growth in the future. Failure to successfully identify and complete acquisitions likely will result in Leeward achieving slower growth. Moreover, even if Leeward is able to identify appropriate acquisition targets, it may not be able to execute acquisition transactions on favorable terms or integrate such targets following acquisition in a manner that allows Leeward to realize the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions. Additionally, Leeward may incur or assume unanticipated liabilities or contingencies in connection with its acquisitions. If any of these developments occur, Leeward’s results of operations could be adversely affected.
 
We have incurred net losses since commencing business and expect losses to continue for the foreseeable future.
 
We have had modest revenues to date. We had a net loss of $242,957 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and a net loss of $90,956 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. As at March 31, 2010, we had cash of $93,670 and a working capital deficit of $140,029.
 
Our ability to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt.
 
The ability of our company to continue as a going concern is in substantial doubt and is dependent on achieving profitable operations and obtaining the necessary financing in order to develop our business. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time. Our future operations are dependent on the market’s acceptance of our services in order to ultimately generate future profitable operations, and our ability to secure sufficient financing to fund future expansion or operations. There can be no assurance that our services will be able to secure market acceptance. Management plans to raise additional equity financing to enable our company to complete our development plans. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional financing. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
 
We are subject to specific risks of litigation that are unique to the insurance industry.

We are subject to various potential claims relating principally to alleged errors and omissions in connection with the placement or servicing of insurance in the ordinary course of business. Because we often assist clients with matters involving substantial amounts of money, including the placement of insurance, clients may assert errors and omissions claims against us alleging potential liability for all or part of the amounts in question. Claimants may seek large damage awards, and these claims may involve potentially significant legal costs. While most of the errors and omissions claims made against us would be covered by our professional indemnity insurance, our business results of operations, financial condition and liquidity may be adversely affected if, in the future, our insurance coverage proves to be inadequate or unavailable. Our ability to obtain professional indemnity insurance in the amounts and with the deductibles we desire in the future may be adversely impacted by general developments in the market for such insurance or our own claims experience. In addition, claims, lawsuits and other proceedings may harm our reputation or divert management resources away from operating our business.
 
We have limited financial and management resources to pursue our growth strategy.
 
Our growth strategy may place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources. We have negative cash flow from operations and continue to seek additional capital. We will have to obtain additional capital either through debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to obtain such financing on terms acceptable to our company.
 
If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible securities, these new securities may contain certain rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our common shares. Additionally, the percentage of ownership of our company held by existing shareholders will be reduced.

We are dependent upon our officers for management and direction, and the loss of any of these persons could adversely affect our operations and results.
 
We are dependent upon our officers for execution of our business plan. The loss of any of our officers could have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations and financial position. We do not maintain “key person” life insurance for any of our officers. The loss of any of our officers could delay or prevent the achievement of our business objectives
 
Risks Associated with Our Common Stock
 
Trading on the OTC Bulletin Board may be volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common stock and make it difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares.
 
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board service of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Trading in stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like NASDAQ or a stock exchange like Amex. Accordingly, shareholders may have difficulty reselling any of their shares.
 
Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC’s penny stock regulations and FINRA’s sales practice requirements, which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
 
Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The 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 in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of 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 bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must 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 disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in, and limit the marketability of, our common stock.
 
In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ’ requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.

Oher Risks
 
Trends, Risks and Uncertainties
 
We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock.

We have made insurance agency asset acquisitions each year, since beginning operations in 2007.  We intend to continue to acquire insurance agency assets.  We had an independent, certified appraisal performed on company assets acquired as of March 31, 2009.  This appraisal valued our acquired insurance agency assets based on customer base and cash flow.  As of March 31, 2009 our assets acquired to date were valued at over $1,800,000.  We estimate that 26,000 independent insurance agencies can be categorized as having less than 1.25 million in annual commission revenue.  Our target acquisition has less than $1.25 million in commission revenue.  The company’s plan of action over the next twelve months is to continue its operations to market and sell insurance products and raise additional capital financing, if necessary, to acquire agency assets and grow operations.

Acquisitions will be based on our ability to internally finance from cash flow, raise equity and/or debt to acquire the assets.  The disruption in the credit and financial markets had made the availability of equity and/or debt uncertain.
 
Over the next 12 months we anticipate that we will incur the following operating expenses:
General, Administrative and Corporate Expenses
$525,000
Depreciation and amortization
$139,545
Salaries, and wages
$650,000
Professional fees
$60,000
Total
$1,374,545
 
Our estimated negative cash flow from operations is estimated to be approximately $90,000 and our cash position as at March 31, 2010 is $93,670.   We will need additional funds to meet our working capital requirements over the twelve month period.  We anticipate that we will have to raise additional funds through private placements of our equity securities and/or debt financing to complete our business plan. There is no assurance that the financing will be completed as planned or at all.  We have not yet been successful raising the funding necessary to proceed with our business plan.  If we are unable to secure adequate capital to continue our planned operations, our shareholders may lose some or all of their investment and our business may fail.
 
Purchase of Significant Equipment
 
We do not intend to purchase any significant equipment over the next twelve months.
 
Personnel Plan
 
We do not expect any material changes in the number of employees over the next 12 month period.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
There are no 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.
 
Our principal capital resources have been through the subscription and issuance of common stock, although we have also used stockholder loans and advances from related parties and co-founders of the company.

Revenues
 
We earned revenues of $1,226,304 for the year ended December 31, 2009 as compared to revenues of $839,140 for the year ended December 31, 2008.  The increase in revenues was as a result of expanded operations from the previous year.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Leeward’s operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 are outlined in the table below:

Increases in salaries and wages are due primarily to the insurance agency asset acquisitions made throughout the year.  The acquisitions also led to higher depreciation and amortization expenses as the acquired assets placed in service during the year are now being amortized.  General and administrative expenses increased as a result of several factors.  Commissions paid as part of the agency acquisitions, related acquisition expense and  commissions paid to affiliated insurance agency totaled approximately  $200,000 during 2009 as compared to approximately $21,000 in 2008.  Rent expense increased from $38,000 to $63,000 as a result of adding additional office space.
 
If net income is recast to exclude the additional non-cash expenses incurred during 2009 and 2008, our operating net loss would have been approximately $9,600 and $52,600, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies

 
Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sangamon Associates, Inc along with its wholly-owned subsidiary Flagship Insurance Agency, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with major financial institutions in the US. Deposits held with these banks at times exceed $250,000 of insurance provided on such deposits. The company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, no excess existed.

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008 the company had $183,361 and $237,313 of cash and cash equivalents, respectively .
 
Fixed Assets
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from 3 to 7 years for furniture, fixtures, machinery and equipment.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the term of the lease or the economic life of the asset.

Long-lived Assets

The company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
 
 
13


 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

On January 1, 2008, the company adopted ASC 820, “ Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:

§  
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
§  
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
§  
Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for the cash and cash equivalents, receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The carrying value of notes payable approximates fair value because negotiated terms and conditions are consistent with current market rates as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Revenue Recognition

The company recognizes revenue according to ASC 740, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.  These criteria are typically met when a policy is signed.  When policies are signed, the company enters the sales into its policy management and tracking system which is when revenue is recognized.  Returns are booked as contra-revenue and are generally less than 1% of all sales and thus no reserve or estimate of returns is recorded.  Cash for sales is either collected up-front in the form of a non-refundable deposit which is greater than the commission portion due to the company.  The remaining sales are remitted on a monthly basis from the insurance providers.  No allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded as all remittances are made from the insurance providers directly; revenue is not recognized on cancelled policies.

Income Taxes

The company applies ASC 740, which requires the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.  The asset and liability method requires that the current or deferred tax consequences of all events recognized in the financial statements are measured by applying the provisions of enacted tax laws to determine the amount of taxes payable or refundable currently or in future years. Deferred tax assets are reviewed for recoverability and the company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be recovered.

The company adopted ASC 740, at the beginning of fiscal year 2008. This interpretation requires recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach, requiring the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. The adoption of ASC 740 had no material impact on the company’s financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation

The company records stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123R “Share Based Payments”, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued .

We currently act with two (2) directors, consisting of Kevin Coughlin and William Cleave.
 
We have determined that we do not have independent directors, as that term is used in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Rules of National Association of Securities Dealers.

Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock at a par value of $0.00001 per share and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.00001per share.
 
Common Stock
 
As of the closing of the share exchange agreement on May 28, 2010, there were 100,000,000   shares of our common stock issued and outstanding that are held by the stockholders of record.
 
Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Holders of our common stock representing a majority of the voting power of our capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of our stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to our articles of incorporation.
 
Holders of common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. Holders of our common stock have no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our common stock.
 
Preferred Stock
 
We are authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.00001, for which the board of directors may fix and determine the designations, rights, preferences or other variations of each class or series within each class of the Preferred Shares.

Dividend Policy

·  
a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper; and
 
·  
to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.
 
We may make any discretionary indemnification only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made:
 
·  
by our stockholders;
 
·  
by our board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding;
 
·  
if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion;
 
·  
if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or
 
·  
by court order.

5.             Effective Date of Transfer of Business and Obligations, and Rights to Commissions and other Business Income .   All of the Seller’s Assets conveyed under the terms of this Agreement shall be transferred as of the closing date.  With respect to those Assets consisting of commission income, fees, and any other income streams earned by the Seller in the ordinary course of operating the brokerage, said assets shall be conveyed pursuant to the following procedures:

A.
For “agency bill” policies (which are defined as policies written by the business/brokerage where premiums – including earned commission – are billed for by and/or are collected directly by the business/brokerage), the policy inception date will be deemed the day on which the policy was written, and Purchaser shall be entitled to all agency bill commissions for policies (by whomever written) with an inception date on or subsequent to the closing date. For Agency billed policies, for which the Seller has received full payment of its commission prior to the closing date, for a period of 120 days after closing any cancellations in which commissions were paid to Seller shall be offset against payment due as stated in section 2(a)(.iii).

B.
Purchaser shall be entitled to all commissions for “direct bill” policies (which are defined as policies written by the business/brokerage where premiums – including earned commissions – are billed for and/or are collected directly by the insurance company with whom the policy was placed), or other positive statement balances associated with direct bill Policies (by whomever written) for all policies with an inception date on or subsequent to the Closing Date.

C.
Purchaser shall be entitled to all policy fees (including but not limited to all copy fees, administrative fees, broker fees, specialty fees, MVR fees, etc.) for all policies (by whomever written) that are received by Seller or Purchaser from any person on or after the closing date.  If Purchaser becomes aware of any commissions paid to Seller but otherwise owed to Purchaser as described above, Purchaser may offset any amounts due Seller pursuant to paragraph 2(a)(iii), if any, or Purchaser may demand reimbursement from Seller, in which case Seller agrees to fully and promptly reimburse Purchaser.

D.
The Purchaser shall pay to the Seller the profit contingency bonus paid by insurance companies for the Business produced in the calendar year 2008 with those insurance companies that Seller was appointed with prior to the acquisition.  Any and all such bonuses earned as a result of policies/risks written by Seller prior to the Closing Date shall be the property of Seller and payable to Seller by Purchaser if received by Purchaser after the Closing Date.  In the event that the insurance company does not pay a bonus for business written in 2008, the Purchaser shall have no further obligation to the Seller for any profit contingency income on business bound prior to the acquisition.

E.
Seller shall be liable for all debts, premiums, claims, statement balances incurred prior to the closing date, and other obligations incurred prior to the closing date.  All account receivables for policies written prior to the closing date shall remain the separate property of the Seller, although such account receivables will be collected by Purchaser.  Purchaser will promptly remit balances due Seller, provided that Seller pays all debts, premiums, claims, statement balances  dated prior to the closing date, and other obligations incurred prior to closing date.  Seller acknowledges that the value of the assets sold pursuant to this Agreement might be diminished if Seller does not promptly pay its obligations to Customers, Companies and/or other Persons for agency related expenses, including without limitation, the net policy premiums (or return premiums) on policies written (or cancelled) prior to the closing date.  As such, if Purchaser becomes aware that any such pre-closing agency related expenses have not been paid when due, then Purchaser may elect, but is not obligated, to pay any such amounts on behalf of Seller, in which event, at Purchaser’s sole option, Purchaser may offset any amounts due Seller pursuant to paragraph 2(a)(iii), if any, or Purchaser may demand reimbursement from Seller, in which case Seller agrees to fully and promptly reimburse Purchaser.

F.
Purchaser, on behalf of Seller, will attempt to collect all funds, including all accounts receivable, owed to Seller for any policies written prior to the closing date.  Seller shall appoint Purchaser as its attorney in fact to endorse checks made payable to Seller by policy owners, Companies or other Persons by executing a limited power of attorney for such purpose, which is attached hereto as Exhibit H and incorporated herein by this reference.  Any funds collected by Purchaser for the Seller will be remitted to Seller on a monthly basis, net of any outstanding pre-closing debts, premiums, claims, or statement balances reflected on Company statements dated prior to the closing date, and other pre-closing unsatisfied obligations for which Seller is responsible pursuant to this Agreement.
 
G.
Accompanying each such monthly payment to Seller shall be a simple accounting of income received, and liabilities (if any) deducted, with supporting documentation.  For no less than a period of One Hundred Twenty (120) days after closing, Purchaser shall provide Seller with access to monthly agent statements for the specific purpose of verifying the amount of “agency billed” premiums deposited to Purchaser’s receipt trust account which may be due Seller for agency bill Policies written prior to the closing date and attributable to Policies that are part of the book of business sold pursuant to this Agreement.  Such access shall be upon reasonable request, and during such times and upon such conditions as shall not unreasonably impair the operations of Purchaser.  Seller agrees to respect the confidential nature of such information.  Seller agrees that in the event there are outstanding debts, premiums, return premiums, claims, statement balances and/or other obligations on Policies written prior to the closing date, Purchaser, at its sole discretion, may offset any amounts collected pursuant to this paragraph 5 from amounts owed to Seller pursuant to this paragraph 5.  In the event such amounts collected are insufficient to satisfy any outstanding debts, premiums, return premiums, claims, statement balances and/or other obligations on Policies, at Purchaser’s sole option, Purchaser may offset any remaining amounts due Seller pursuant to paragraph 2(d), if any, or Purchaser may demand reimbursement from Seller, in which case Seller agrees to fully and promptly reimburse Purchaser.
 
 H.
 
For 120 days after the closing date Seller shall be responsible for payment to Purchaser of commissions on any reduction of premiums which result from policy cancellations for any policies Seller produced, and which are reflected on any Company statement dated after the closing date.  After the closing date, Seller shall be responsible for any additional amounts due Customer, Companies or other Persons which result from policy cancellations, policy endorsements, or policy audits for policies which are reflected on any Company statement dated prior to (or first recorded on Company statements dated prior to) the closing date.  Any adjustment pursuant to Section 6(H), will be subject to a minimum aggregate threshold of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) once this limit has been exceeded then adjustments will be effected.

 I.
 
Seller shall remit to Purchaser on the closing date any funds received by Seller for Policies written on or subsequent to the closing date.

 J.

6.             Closing Documents.   At the closing Seller shall execute and deliver to Purchaser:

8.             Use of Purchase Price to Pay Encumbrances.   If there is any lien or encumbrance against Assets, or anything else affecting this sale, which Seller is obligated to pay and discharge at the closing, Seller may use any portion of the balance of the purchase price to discharge it, or Seller may allow to Purchaser the amount thereof as a credit at the closing.  Purchaser agrees to provide separate certified checks as reasonably requested to assist in clearing up these matters.
 
9.             Use of Names and PO Box and Telephone Numbers .  As a result of the sale contemplated herein, the Purchaser shall on and after the date of closing be entitled to the use of the Seller’s name and trade names described in paragraph 1 hereof and listed on Exhibit G attached hereto.  Furthermore, the Seller shall not use or authorize anyone else to use said name or trade names.  The Purchaser shall acquire all rights to the telephone listings, telephone numbers, telefax numbers, email addresses, websites, physical addresses, and post office boxes listed under Seller’s or said trade names.  The Seller will provide the Purchaser with the corporate resolution for the name change from Brady-Rogers, Inc. to ______________________ , within 90 days of closing.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2010 and 2009

 
NOTE 1 – CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at March 31, 2010, and for all periods presented herein, have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2009 audited financial statements.  The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2010 is not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
 
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors
Leeward Group, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Leeward Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the 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 audits 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 audit provides 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 Leeward Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company had losses from operations of $129,882, an accumulated deficit of $515,647, and working capital deficit of $97,137, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

LEEWARD GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009 and 2008

 
 
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Leeward Group, Inc, (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 24, 2008.  The Company operates as a general insurance agency that markets and sells insurance products, including property and casualty insurance products as well as life, health and group health insurance products.  The Company has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Sangamon Associates, Inc., which it acquired through a share exchange entered into on October 30, 2008.  Sangamon Associates, Inc has its own wholly-owned subsidiary, Flagship Insurance Agency, Inc. which it acquired on August 1, 2007.  The financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis.

 
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 
Basis of Presentation
These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31.

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

 
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sangamon Associates, Inc along with its wholly-owned subsidiary Flagship Insurance Agency, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with major financial institutions in the US. Deposits held with these banks at times exceed $250,000 of insurance provided on such deposits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, no excess existed.

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008 the Company had $296,446 and $340,723 of cash and cash equivalents, respectively.

 
Fixed Assets
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, ranging from 3 to 7 years for furniture, fixtures, machinery and equipment.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the term of the lease or the economic life of the asset.

LEEWARD GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009 and 2008


NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Long-lived Assets
The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.

 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 820, “ Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:

§  
Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
§  
Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
§  
Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for the cash and cash equivalents, receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The carrying value of notes payable approximates fair value because negotiated terms and conditions are consistent with current market rates as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue according to ASC 740, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.  These criteria are typically met when a policy is signed.  When policies are signed, the Company enters the sales into its policy management and tracking system which is when revenue is recognized.  Returns are booked as contra-revenue and are generally less than 1% of all sales and thus no reserve or estimate of returns is recorded.  Cash for sales is either collected up-front in the form of a non-refundable deposit which is greater than the commission portion due to the Company.  The remaining sales are remitted on a monthly basis from the insurance providers.  No allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded as all remittances are made from the insurance providers directly; revenue is not recognized on cancelled policies.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2009 and 2008


NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Income Taxes
The Company applies ASC 740, which requires the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.  The asset and liability method requires that the current or deferred tax consequences of all events recognized in the financial statements are measured by applying the provisions of enacted tax laws to determine the amount of taxes payable or refundable currently or in future years. Deferred tax assets are reviewed for recoverability and the Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be recovered.

The Company adopted ASC 740, at the beginning of fiscal year 2008. This interpretation requires recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” approach, requiring the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions. The adoption of ASC 740 had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123R “Share Based Payments”, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Below is a listing of the most recent accounting pronouncements issued since the October 31, 2009 audited financial statements of the Company were released and through May 28, 2010. The Company has evaluated these pronouncements and does not expect their adoption to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, or statements.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 5 – ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)

On October 30, 2008, Leeward Group, Inc. and Sangamon Associates Inc. (“Sangamon”) entered into a share exchange agreement wherein Sangamon gave to the Company 100% of the 200 shares issued and outstanding in exchange for 10,606,000 of the Company’s common stock.    Due to the fact that both entities are under common control, i.e. the sole shareholders of the Company (Kevin Coughlin, CEO and William Cleave, President) were also the sole shareholders of Sangamon, the Company is required to account for this transaction as a pooling of interest, referenced in ASC 805-10.

The standard refers to APB 16 for detail on how to account for a transaction according to the pooling-of-interest method.  Under that standard the Company accounted for the share exchange agreement by recording assets and liabilities of the separate companies as the recorded assets and liabilities of the combined corporation.  The combined corporation has appropriately recorded the historical-cost based amounts of the assets and liabilities of the separate companies because the existing basis of accounting continues.  The stockholders' equities of the separate companies were also combined as a part of the pooling-of-interests method of accounting. The combined corporation recorded as capital the capital stock and additional paid-in capital of the separate companies. Additionally, retained earnings of the separate companies were combined and recognized as retained earnings of the combined corporation. The amount of outstanding shares of stock of the combined corporation at par exceeded the total amount of capital stock of the combined company. Thus the excess was deducted from the combined additional balance in paid-in capital.

The Company reported results of operations for the period in which the combination occurs as though the companies had been combined as of the beginning of the period. Results of operations for that period thus comprise those of the separate companies combined from the beginning of the period to the date the combination is consummated and those of the combined operations from that date to the end of the period. All effects of intercompany transactions from operations before the date of combination reports operations before and after the date of combination were eliminated.

Finally, balance sheets and other financial information of the separate companies as of the beginning of the period have been presented as though the companies had been combined at that date. Financial statements and financial information of the separate companies presented for prior years have also been restated on a combined basis to furnish comparative information. All restated financial statements and financial summaries indicate clearly that financial data of the previously separate companies are combined.

Impairment of Intangible Assets
Company management reviews the carrying value of all intangible assets on an annual basis or when events transpire that may require impairment.  For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company relied on a third-party valuation of the fair value of the combined assets of Leeward Group, Inc.  This valuation yielded a fair value for Leeward Group, Inc. in excess of $1,800,000 as of March 31, 2009.

NOTE 5 – ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)

The appraisal was based primarily on a discounted future cash flow valuation.  Cash flow is based on recast net income, which is net income less depreciation, amortization and non-recurring charges.  The non-recurring charges consist of loan origination and closing fees along with fees incurred during the acquisitions made during the year.  Management uses a conservative 2-3 percent growth rate when in actuality revenue growth has outpaced this estimate.  The discount rate is equal the incremental borrowing cost to the Company.

Impairment of Intangible Assets
As of December 31, 2009 the Company performed its own evaluation of the fair value of the assets held by updating the model used in the evaluation for the results of the Company during the year ended December 31, 2009.  Based on this evaluation, the Company feels that there has been no decrease in the fair value of the assets, and the carrying value of the Company’s intangible assets do not exceed their fair value.

NOTE 6 – RESTRICTED CASH AND PREMIUMS IN TRUST

As normal part of its business, the Company receives customer deposits that are to be remitted to the insurance carriers.  In some cases the customers pay the entire policy upfront or a portion of the policy as a down payment.  These funds are directly billed by the Company then remitted to the insurance carriers are typically held for an average of 30 days before being remitted to the insurance carriers.  However, before remittance, the Company deducts a commission percentage earned, which averages 15% of the collected amounts.  The remaining amounts being remitted are classified as restricted cash with an offset to current liabilities.  The Company records the amount to a liability account called premiums in trust to offset the restricted cash held in the Company’s trust accounts.

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008 the Company had $113,085 and $103,410 in restricted cash and premiums in trust.

NOTE 7 – CAPITAL LEASES

As part of the asset purchases the Company assumed the existing leases owned by the various offices.  The Company evaluated these leases at the time of purchase and because they contain beneficial by-out options at the end of the lease, they have been classified as capital leases.   The Company has used the discounted value of future payments as the fair value of these assets and has recorded the discounted value of the remaining payments as a liability.

As of December 31, 2009 and 2008 the net book value of these leased assets is $6,649 and $23,846 as the Company recognizes $17,586 and $34,050 in remaining lease obligations.

In accordance with ASC 470, the Company has analyzed the beneficial nature of the conversion terms and determined that a beneficial conversion feature (BCF) exists.  The Company calculated the value of the BCF using the intrinsic method as stipulated in ASC 470.  Based on the stock price on the day of commitment, the discount as agreed to in the note, and the number of convertible shares, the BCF was valued at $38,824.  The BCF has been recorded as a discount to the debenture payable and to Additional Paid-in Capital.

In accordance with ASC 470, the Company is amortizing the BCF over the life of the contract, which is 90 days.  As of December 31, 2009 the Company has recognized $23,725 in amortization which has been charges to interest expense resulting in a carrying value of $204,901 as of December 31, 2009.

NOTE 11 – INCOME TAXES

The FASB has issued FASB ASC 740-10 which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements.  This standard requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position.  If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements.  As a result of the implementation of this standard, the Company performed a review of its material tax positions in accordance with recognition and measurement standards established by FASB ASC 740-10.
