ITEM 1. BUSINESS
The statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2011, that are not purely historical statements are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, including statements regarding the Company's expectations, beliefs, hopes, intentions or strategies regarding the future. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Please see "Forward-Looking Statements" under Item 7 of this Annual Report and the factors and risks discussed in other reports filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
General Development of Business
Fresh Traffic Group Inc. (formerly Estate Coffee Holdings Corp. (formerly Slap, Inc.)) (the “Company”, “Fresh”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) was incorporated on March 19, 2007, in the State of Nevada as an oil and gas exploration company. The Company drilled an initial well on its oil and gas leases which was deemed a dry hole. The Company has divested these oil and gas operations as no revenue was expected to be generated from those operations in the immediate future.
On November 2, 2009, the Company filed with the State of Nevada a forward split of its authorized and issued shares of common stock on the basis of nine shares for each one share authorized and issued. The record date for the distribution to stockholders was November 2, 2009 and the effective date for the distribution to stockholders was November 9, 2009. Upon completion of the forward split the authorized shares were increased to 675,000,000 common shares.
On January 10, 2010, the Company entered into a formal agreement (the “Agreement”) with the 100% owners of Estate Coffee Holdings Ltd. (“ECH”), a private company incorporated pursuant to the laws of the State of Maryland whereby the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of ECH in exchange for the issuance of 900,000 restricted shares of the Company to Sean Tan, ECH’s primary creditor, in settlement of a promissory note between ECH and Mr. Tan. ECH had previously acquired 20% of the shares of DTS8 Holdings Co. Ltd. (“DTS8”), a Hong Kong company which owns a Wholly Owned Foreign Entity in the Republic of China from which it conducts its operations, from Mr. Tan in exchange for a promissory note in the amount of $60,000 plus interest at the rate of 6% per annum. DTS8 is a coffee roasting operation located in Mainland China. Pursuant to the Agreement ECH became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The shares were issued to Mr. Tan on January 21, 2010, the closing date of the transaction.
On February 8, 2010 the Company changed its name from SLAP, Inc. to Estate Coffee Holdings Corp. to reflect the initiative to operate in the coffee business.
During June, 2010, upon receipt of final documentation with respect to the transaction noted above, the Company discovered that DTS8 had not perfected the transaction with the regulatory authorities in Hong Kong, and further, that the ownership structure of the assets acquired by DTS8 included a second company incorporated in China, the records for which were not able to be obtained by the Company for review. As a result, the Company, ECH, Sean Tan and DTS8 agreed to cancel the transaction effective May 31, 2010 and all shares issued in respect of the transaction were canceled and returned to treasury.
On January 29, 2010, the Company negotiated and entered into a global distribution agreement with Coffee Solutions Ltd. (“CSL”) whereby the Company was granted the rights to market and distribute CSL roasted Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee. The distribution agreement is temporarily on hold while ECH completes the acquisition of the trademark and license agreement from the Coffee Industry Board. The Company has assigned this agreement to ECH with the divestiture of ECH on July 1, 2011.
On October 20, 2010, the Company, Fresh Traffic Group Corp., a private Manitoba company (“Fresh”), and Jeremy Booth, Kim Lewis and Dmytro Hrytsenko (collectively the “Fresh Shareholders”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”). The Agreement provided for: (a) for the purchase by the Company of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Fresh owned by the Fresh Shareholders in exchange for the issuance of 8,000,000 shares of the common stock of the Company and (b) the settlement of a total of $71,973 of debt on the balance sheet of Fresh by way of the issuance of up to 2,600,000 shares of common stock of the Company. As a result of this agreement, on October 20, 2010, the Company changed its name from Estate Coffee Holdings Corp. to Fresh Traffic Group Inc., as Fresh Traffic Group Corp. has revenues and will be the primary operating subsidiary of the Company until such time as the coffee business is further developed.
On October 26, 2010, the Company completed a closing (the “Closing”) of the Agreement, by the issuance of 8,000,000 shares of the common stock of the Company to the Fresh Shareholders, in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Fresh, as held by the Fresh Shareholders. Furthermore, as part of a debt settlement arrangement included as part of the Agreement, a total of 2,400,000 shares of common stock of the Company were issued to settle CDN$71,973 (US$ 70,152) of debt on the balance sheet of Fresh.
On July 1, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with the officer and director of ECH, whereby the Company transferred all of the issued and outstanding shares of ECH as no revenue has been generated and no revenue is expected to be generated from those operations in the immediate future.
The Company’s business consists of the operations as undertaken by Fresh, a wholly-owned subsidiary, those being the provision of internet marketing and search engine optimization (“SEO”) services to a diversified customer base.
Principal Products and Services and their Markets
We provide the following services:
·
|
Search Engine Optimization (“SEO”)
|
·
|
CRM (Customer Relationship Management) optimization
|
·
|
Analytics & Web Hosting
|
·
|

Pricing
Due to the customized nature of our core business and history of experience relative to the industry players in general, our pricing would be considered between medium to high when comparing to competitive SEO offerings. Fresh focuses on delivering results demanded by their clients’ unique needs. Consideration is given to all aspects of the customer’s goals in SEO, Search Engine Marketing (“SEM”), Pay per Click (“PPC”); as well as the online activities of their competitors. We then tailor a comprehensive program suited to the client’s requests. There is no boiler plate approach in our efforts; in fact the opposite is true. Each client has a niche offering and we specialize in generating positive results and ROI by focusing our online marketing efforts to one company per niche market segment and then understanding how to position our clients as leaders within this segment. We are very competitive for our web design and hosting services, again delivering a customized product to our clients based on their needs. Ongoing advisory services are generally included in all contracts.
We normally enter into one year contracts for online branding and marketing services with our customers. The agreements specify the desired branding and target market the client wants to penetrate. Our customers pay in advance for services rendered on a monthly basis.
Web design, hosting, graphic works, apps and all other services are one of a kind as per the client’s request. These services are all individually quoted on, and once terms have been agreed upon a retainer is paid and progress payments are made based on contract terms.
Distribution Methods of the Products
We provide services through our website and also through our three office locations in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Toronto, Ontario, and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Status of any Publicly Announced New Product
Through the end of the fiscal year covered by this report, the Company did not announce any new product or service.
Competitive Business Conditions and Our Competitive Position in the Industry and Methods of Competition
We operate in a highly competitive and changing environment. We principally compete with other companies which offer services in the following areas:
·
|
sales to advertisers of pay-per-click services;
|
·
|
aggregation or optimization of online advertising for distribution through search engines, product shopping engines, directories, Web sites or other outlets;
|
·
|
provision of local and vertical Web sites containing information and user feedback designed to attract users and help consumers make better, more informed local decisions, while providing targeted advertising inventory for advertisers;
|
·
|
local search sales and marketing services;
|
·
|
services and outsourcing of technologies that allow customers to manage their campaigns across multiple networks and track the success of these campaigns;
|
Some of our competitors, as well as potential entrants into our market, may be better positioned to succeed in this market. They may have:
·
|
longer operating histories;
|
·
|
more management experience;
|
·
|
an employee base with more extensive experience;
|
·
|
better geographic coverage;
|
·
|
greater brand recognition; and
|
·
|
significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources
|
Currently, and in the future, as the use of the Internet and other online services increases, there will likely be larger, more well-established and well-financed entities that acquire companies and/or invest in or form joint ventures in categories or countries of interest to us, all of which could adversely impact our business. Any of these trends could increase competition and reduce the demand for any of our services.
The online local paid-search market is intensely competitive. Our competitors include the major search engines as well as online directories and city guides. Non-paid search engines are beginning to offer paid-search services, and we believe that additional companies will enter into the local search advertising market. We believe that the principal competitive factors in our market are network size, revenue sharing agreements, services, convenience, accessibility, customer service, quality of search tools, quality of editorial review and reliability and speed of fulfillment of search results and ad listings across the Internet infrastructure.
We also compete with other online advertising services as well as traditional offline media such as television, radio and print, for a share of businesses’ total advertising budgets. Nearly all of our competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater brand recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do. Our competitors may secure more favorable revenue sharing agreements with network distributors, devote greater resources to marketing and promotional campaigns, adopt more aggressive growth strategies and devote substantially more resources to website and systems development than we do.
The search industry has experienced consolidation, including the acquisitions of companies offering local paid-search services. Industry consolidation may result in larger, more established and well-financed competitors with a greater focus on local search services. If this trend continues, we may not be able to compete in the local search market and our financial results may suffer.
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and Names of Principal Suppliers
The only supplier of services to the Company is their internet service provider and the principal provider is MTS Advanced Ltd. However, the Company also uses Shaw Business Services.
Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers
We have a diverse client base, and are not reliant on any one/few major customers.
Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements or Labor Contracts, including Duration
We do not have any royalty agreements or labor contracts.
Need for Any Government Approval of Principal Products or Services
We do not require any specific governmental approval in order to conduct our business.
Effect of Existing or Probably Government Regulations on our Business
We do not anticipate government regulations specific to our business.
Research and Development Activities and Costs
We believe in the importance of continuous research and development, as new product design and development is more often than not a crucial factor in the survival of any company. In an industry that is changing rapidly, we must continually revise the design and range of products. This is necessary due to continuous technology change and development as well as other competitors and the changing preference of customers.
We bear the costs of R&D as part of our overhead.
Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Law
We are not required to comply with any environmental laws that are particular to our business operations. We are subject to typical monitoring and investigation protocols applicable to all businesses.
Employees
Fresh currently has 3 executive personnel and 3 commissioned sales people. An additional 30 individuals are responsible for IT, website design and development, programming and social media. Part time or third party services are engaged as required on a contract basis.

Summary
The Company continues to pursue its primary goals of providing internet marketing and business solutions for a variety of international customers.
Liquidity & Capital Resources
As of August 31, 2011, our cash balance was $44,538, as compared to $11,785 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2010. The increase to cash on hand as at August 31, 2011 is substantially due to an increase in sales during the most recently completed fiscal year. Accounts Receivable decreased to $18,204 as at August 31, 2011compared to $25,535 in accounts receivables as at August 31, 2010. The decrease to accounts receivable is directly related to the Company'sincreased success during the most recently completed fiscal year in collecting accounts due immediately upon delivery of invoices to customers to whom we are providing recurring monthly services. We have total current assets of $69,998 as at August 31, 2011 as compared to total current assets of $37,727 at August 31, 2010. This increase is related primarily to an increase in cash for August 31, 2011 over August 31, 2010.
Accounts Payable and accrued payables increased to $131,503 as at August 31, 2011 from $16,358 at August 31, 2010. Loans payable of $68,387 as at August 31, 2010, were settled by the issuance of 2,400,000 shares of common stock concurrent with a Share Exchange Agreement which closed on Otober 26, 2010 with Fresh Traffic Group Corp. and certain other individuals, decreased over the comparative period to$17,199 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2011(Refer to Note 1 – Nature and Continuance of Operations for further details). The increase to accounts payable and amounts incurred in the current year as loans payable are both due to an increase in liabilities related to our corporate operations to fulfil our public reporting requirements as compared to August 31, 2010 when the Company was a private company and had no reporting obligations. The Company’s liabilities mainly relate to the obligations of the parent corporation and the subsidiary corporation has determined that the funds to pay these obligations cannot currently come from its operations as it would leave insufficient funds for operations of the day to day business. Therefore, the Company will be required to raise funds either by loans or by the sale of equity. To date, the Company has been unable to raise sufficient funds to pay its parent obligations as they become due. Management is reviewing the viability of remaining as a reporting entity and various options for other acquisitions.
Due to the increased operations of our operating subsidiary, Fresh Traffic Group Corp. we have a working capital deficit as at August 31, 2011 of $86,900 as compared to a deficit of $48,424 as at August 31, 2010. Sales have increased and Fresh is continuing to sign new customers in addition to maintaining its existing client business.
The continual costs for maintaining the Company’s public reporting status are eroding the profitability of the Company’s subsidiary, however, the Company has sufficient funds to continue operations without seeking additional capital other than by the way of short term loans to fund expenditures for reporting requirements.
As of the date of the filing of this report on Form 10-K, we believe we have sufficient funds to undertake our current operations. We have sufficient funds to pay our current expenses as they come due, and the Company intends to focus on reducing its accounts payable amount owing. However should we execute growth in our operations, we will be required to raise additional capital in order to ramp up operations. At this time we cannot say how much additional capital may be required.
Should we determine that we need additional capital for expansion, or should there be a significant decrease in our revenues, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain additional financing on a timely basis, we may not be able to meet our obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease operations.
The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
Results of Operations
For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2011, loss from operations totaled ($86,661) on gross sales of $539,884, less costs of goods sold totaling $369,528 resulting in gross profits of $170,356, as compared to a loss from operations of ($43,497) on gross sales of $383,344, less costs of goods sold totaling $287,423, and gross profits of $95,921 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2010. Sales increased during the periods based on the fact that the Company is becoming further recognized in the industry and the fact that the market for advertising is shifting to a digital format making the Company’s services more desirable and in demand. Profit margins increased due to the Company’s costs related to renegotiating or acquiring new customers as the Company did not have the same promotional and startup costs. While costs of operations increased in the fiscal year ended August 31, 2011 due to an increase in professional fees from $4,262 in 2010 to $42,446 in 2011, and an increase in general and administrative expenses from $110,438 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2010 to $211,476 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2011, in the most part due to investor relations costs increasing from $nil in 2010 to $76,000 in 2011, both of these increases to the costs of operations were due to costs at the parent company level in part associated with the acquisition of the Fresh subsidiary and also increased costs of operations for maintaining the Company’s reporting status.
The Company’s gross sales for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2011 increased by 41% over the reported gross sales for August 31, 2010. This increase in sales resulted in gross profits of $170,356 (2011) or an increase of $74,435 over the fiscal year ended August 31, 2010 when the gross profits were $95,921.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To The Board of Directors
Fresh Traffic Group Inc.
Winnipeg MB, Canada
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fresh Traffic Group Inc., (the Company) and subsidiary as of August 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fresh Traffic Group Inc. and subsidiary as of August 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations, and is dependent on its ability to raise capital from stockholders or other sources to sustain operations. These factors, along with other matters as set forth in Note 12, raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

FRESH TRAFFIC GROUP INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
August 31, 2011
(Stated in US Dollars)
NOTE 1 - NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Organization:
Fresh Traffic Group Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada, United States of America on March 19, 2007.
The business of the Company is undertaken by its one wholly-owned subsidiary, Fresh Traffic Group Corp. The Company’s year-end is August 31.
The Company is no longer in the development stage, as a result of the October 26, 2010 acquisition of Fresh Traffic Group Corp., resulting in significant consolidated revenues from planned operations.
On November 2, 2009, the Company filed with the State of Nevada a forward split of its authorized and issued shares of common stock on the basis of nine-for-one in the form of a special stock distribution to stockholders of record as of November 2, 2009. The effective date for the distribution to stockholders was November 9, 2009, subject to approval from FINRA to the transfer agent to complete the distribution. The effect of the stock split has been recognized retroactively in the stockholders’ deficit accounts for all periods presented, and in all shares and per share data in the financial statements.
On January 10, 2010, the Company entered into a formal agreement (the “Agreement”) with the 100% owners of Estate Coffee Holdings Ltd. (formerly Sumbody Coffee Company) (“ECH”), a private company incorporated pursuant to the laws of the State of Maryland whereby the Company agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of ECH in exchange for the issuance of 900,000 restricted shares of the Company to Sean Tan, ECH’s primary creditor, in settlement of a promissory note between ECH and Mr. Tan. ECH had previously acquired 20% of the shares of DTS8 Holdings Co. Ltd. (“DTS8”), a Hong Kong company which operates as a Wholly Owned Foreign Entity in the Republic of China, from Mr. Tan in exchange for a promissory note in the amount of $60,000 plus interest at the rate of 6% per annum. DTS8 is a coffee roasting operation located in Mainland China. Pursuant to the Agreement, ECH became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The shares were issued to Mr. Tan on January 21, 2010, which is the closing date of the transaction. Subsequently, upon receipt of final documentation with respect to the transaction noted above, the Company discovered that DTS8 had not perfected the transaction with the regulatory authorities in Hong Kong, and further, that the ownership structure of the assets acquired by DTS8 included a second Hong Kong based entity, the records for which were not able to be obtained by the Company for review. As a result, the acquisition of DTS8 Holdings Co. Ltd. by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary ECH was cancelled with return of the 900,000 shares held by Mr. Tan to treasury. The Company and the shareholders of ECH did not cancel the transaction whereby the Company acquired ECH, and ECH remains a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. On February 8, 2010, the Company changed its name from SLAP, Inc. to Estate Coffee Holdings Corp. to reflect the initiative to operate in the coffee business. Currently there is no activity being undertaken by ECH as the Company does not have sufficient funding at this time to fund operations.
On October 20, 2010, the Company changed its name from Estate Coffee Holdings Corp. to Fresh Traffic Group Inc. due to the acquisition of Fresh Traffic Group Corp., which was acquired as an operating subsidiary as detailed below. Fresh Traffic Group Corp. has revenues and will be the primary operating subsidiary of the Company until the coffee business is further developed.

On July 1, 2011, the Company determined to divest its ownership of ECH to its sole officer and director as no revenue has been generated and no revenue is expected to be generated from those operations in the immediate future.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARIES OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements present the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fresh Corp. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates, which have been made using careful judgment. Actual results may vary from these estimates.
The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:
Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized on the products and services when the following criteria are satisfied: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery and title transfer has occurred or the services have been rendered, the price is fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company’s revenue is primarily generated through term-based contracts with clients that require a flat monthly fee for services rendered on a monthly basis, depending on the service level provided under the contract. We record the service revenue on a straight line basis over the contract period.
Cash and Cash Equivalents- For purposes of the statement of cash flow, we consider all cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of deposit with an original maturity date of less than three months to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable and accounting for bad debt and allowance- Accounts receivable are stated at the amount that management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Bad debts and allowances are provided based on historical experience and management’s evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable. Management evaluates past due or delinquency of accounts receivable based on the open invoices aged on due date basis. The allowance for doubtful accounts at August 31, 2011 and August 31, 2010 is Nil.

Depreciation expense was $3,095 and $6,417 in each year ended August 31, 2011 and August 31, 2010, respectively.
Foreign Currency Translation – The functional currency of Fresh Corp, one of the Company’s subsidiaries, is the Canadian Dollar. The Company uses the United States dollar as its reporting currency. All transactions initiated in Canadian Dollars are translated to U.S. Dollar in accordance with ASC 830-10-20 “Foreign Currency Translation” as follows:
·
|
Revenue and expense items at the average rate of exchange in effect on the transaction date;
|
·
|
Non-monetary assets and liabilities at historical exchange rates, unless such items are carried at market, in which case they are translated at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date; and
|
·
|
Monetary assets and liabilities at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date.
|
Adjustments arising from such translations are deferred until realization and are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (deficit) as a component of comprehensive income (loss). Therefore, translation adjustments are not included in determining net income but reported as other comprehensive income.
For foreign currency transactions, the Company translates these amounts to the Company’s functional currency at the exchange rate effective on the invoice date. If the exchange rate changes between the time of purchase and the time actual payment is made, a foreign exchange transaction gain or loss results which is included in determining net income for the period.
No significant realized exchange gains or losses were recorded to August 31, 2011.
Financial Instruments - The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting of cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of such instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial statements.
Comprehensive Income (Loss) - ASC Topic No. 220, “Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. Comprehensive income or loss is comprised of net earnings or loss and other comprehensive income or loss, which includes certain changes in equity, excluded from net earnings, primarily foreign currency translation adjustments.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARIES OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Income Taxes - The Company has adopted SFAS No. 109 – “Accounting for Income Taxes”. ASC Topic 740 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share - In accordance with ASC Topic 280 – “Earnings Per Share”, the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. At August 31, 2011, the Company had no stock equivalents that were anti-dilutive and excluded in the loss per share computation.
Note 3 – BUSINESS COMBINATION
On October 26, 2010, Fresh Traffic Group Inc. (formerly: Estate Coffee Holdings Corp.) completed a closing (the “Closing”) of a share exchange agreement (the "Agreement"), by the issuance of 8,000,000 shares of the common stock of Fresh Traffic Group Inc. to the Shareholders of Fresh Traffic Group Corp. (the "Fresh Shareholders"), in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Fresh Traffic Group Corp, as held by the Fresh Shareholders. Furthermore, as part of a debt settlement arrangement included as part of the Agreement, a total of 2,400,000 shares of common stock of the Company were issued to an unrelated creditor to settle CDN$71,973 (US$ 70,152) of debt on the balance sheet of Fresh Traffic Group Corp.
Following completion of all of the above conditions on the closing date: (i) Fresh Traffic Group Corp. was acquired by Fresh Traffic Group Inc. being the sole shareholder of Fresh Traffic Group Corp; and (ii) the Fresh shareholders received an aggregate of 8,000,000 shares of Fresh Traffic Group Inc.’s common stock representing 22.47% of the issued and outstanding shares.
The business combination was accounted for as a reverse acquisition pursuant to the guidance in Appendix B of SEC Accounting Disclosure Rules and Practices Official Text, which provides that the “acquisition of a private operating company by a non-operating public shell corporation typically results in the owners and management of the private company having actual or effective voting and operating control of the combined company. These transactions are considered by the Securities and Exchange Commission to be capital transactions in substance, rather than business combinations. That is, the transaction is equivalent to the issuance of stock by the private company for the net monetary assets of the shell corporation, accompanied by a recapitalization.” Accordingly, the acquisition has been accounted for as a recapitalization, and, for accounting purposes, Fresh Traffic Group Corp. is considered the acquirer in a reverse acquisition. The historical financial statements for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2010 and prior to October 26, 2010 in this annual report are those of Fresh Corp.
Fresh Traffic Group Inc.'s historical accumulated deficit for the periods prior to October 26, 2010, in the amount of $231,800, was eliminated against additional paid in capital, and the accompanying financial statements present the previously issued shares of the Fresh Traffic Group Inc.’s common stock as having been issued pursuant to the acquisition on October 26, 2010.
Note 4 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On July 1, 2011, the Company determined to divest its ownership of ECH to its sole officer and director as no revenue is expected to be generated from those operations in the immediate future.
Revenue and income (loss) from the business were Nil from the period October 27, 2010 to July 1, 2011.
At August 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no amounts included in assets and liabilities and in discontinued operations.

Note 8 – LEASE AGREEMENT
On November 1, 2008, the Company’s subsidiary, Fresh Corp. leased office space in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada for five years for monthly rental payments of USD$6,454 (CAD$6,380) per month including estimated operating costs and applicable taxes. Lease Commitments – following five years:

The security deposit is held by the Landlord without interest and shall be returned to Fresh Corp. without interest within sixty (60) days after the expiry of the lease or earlier termination of the term; or, at the Landlord’s option, shall be applied by the Landlord on account of the last month’s rent. The amount is included on the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as "Security Deposit."

The amount taken into income as deferred tax assets must reflect that portion of the income tax loss carry-forwards that is likely to be realized from future operations. The Company has chosen to provide an allowance of one hundred percent (100%) against all available income tax loss carry-forwards, regardless of their time of expiry.
At August 31, 2011, the Company has accumulated non-capital losses totaling $204,301,, which are available to reduce taxable income in future taxation years. These losses expire beginning in 2027.

Note 9 – DEFERRED TAX ASSETS (continued)
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on September 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of ASC Topic 740, the Company recognized approximately no increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
The Company has no tax position at August 31, 2011 and August 31, 2010 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. No such interest or penalties were recognized during the periods presented. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties at August 31, 2011 or August 31, 2010. The Company’s utilization of any net operating loss carry forward may be unlikely as a result of its current unprofitable activities.
Note 10 – COMMON STOCK
On October 26, 2010, the Company issued 8,000,000 shares of the common stock of the Company to the Fresh Shareholders pursuant to the share exchange agreement. (Ref Note 3)
Furthermore, as part of a debt settlement arrangement included as part of the exchange agreement, a total of 2,400,000 shares of common stock of the Company were issued to an unrelated third party creditor of Fresh Corp to settle CDN$71,973 (US$ 70,152) of debt on the balance sheet of Fresh Corp. The issuance of 2,400,000 shares of common stock was valued at the market value of the stock on the date of issue which was $0.06 per share. As a result, the Company recorded a loss on settlement of debt of $73,848 which amount reflects the difference between the book value of the loan payable and the market value of the 2,400,000 shares issued on the date of settlement.
On December 7, 2010, the Company entered into a one-year agreement with a marketing company. Under the agreement, the marketing company is engaged to assist in the development and dissemination of the corporate information to various parties to further our business and opportunities. The Company agrees to make a twelve month commitment to pay the following non-refundable fees: (i) the sum of 800,000 restricted shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”) with 400,000 restricted shares payable upon the execution date of the agreement and 400,000 restricted shares payable six months from the execution date of this agreement. 400,000 restricted shares were issued on Dec 8, 2010. The issuance of 400,000 shares of common stock was valued at the market value of the stock on the issuance date. As a result, the Company recorded an investor relations expense of $48,000 during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2011. The 400,000 shares due on June 8, 2011 were not issued by the Company as the Company is disputing the services provided by the marketing company. No demand for payment of the shares has been made by the marketing company and the Company does not expect any demand to be made, however, the Company has recorded the amount of $28,000 as a contingent liability, included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the balance sheets of the Company, based on the closing price of the shares of common stock of the Company on June 7, 2011 at $0.07 per share. Should any demand for payment be made the Company intends to take legal action in regard to the non-performance of the marketing company.
Note 11 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2011, the Company paid to Mr. Jeremy Booth, the President of the Company, USD$44,271 (CAD$44,754) (2010-NIL) for the provision of contract services including search engine optimization and internet marketing services. These fees were recorded as cost of goods sold and were paid in cash.

Note 12 – GOING CONCERN
The Company has experienced net losses to date, and though it has generated revenue from operations, we will need additional working capital to service debt and for ongoing operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management of the Company has developed a strategy to meet operational shortfalls which may include equity funding, short-term or long-term financing or debt financing, to enable the Company to reach profitable operations.
Note 13– SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In November, 2011, the Company received a loan from an unrelated third party in the amount of $21,000 to pay prior year fees payable to the Company’s auditor. The loan is for a one year term and bears interest at 8% per annum.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the date of the balance sheet to the date of this filing and determined there are no other events to be disclosed.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
In the fiscal years ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, there have been no changes in the Company’s accounting policies, nor have there been any disagreements with our accountants.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, under supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based upon this evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of August 31, 2011, because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that required information to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that required information to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2011. In making the assessment, management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on its assessment, management concluded that, as of August 31, 2011, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective and that material weaknesses in ICFR existed as more fully described below.
As defined by Auditing Standard No. 5, “An Audit of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting that is Integrated with an Audit of Financial Statements” established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), a material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses as of August 31, 2011:
1)
|
Lack of an independent audit committee or audit committee financial expert, and no independent directors. We do not have any members of the Board who are independent directors and we do not have an audit committee. These factors may be counter to corporate governance practices as defined by the various stock exchanges and may lead to less supervision over management;
|
2)
|
Inadequate staffing and supervision within our bookkeeping operations. We have one consultant involved in bookkeeping functions, who provides two staff members. The relatively small number of people who are responsible for bookkeeping functions and the fact that they are from the same firm of consultants prevents us from segregating duties within our internal control system. The inadequate segregation of duties is a weakness because it could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters or could lead to a failure to perform timely and effective reviews. This may result in a failure to detect errors in spreadsheets, calculations or assumptions used to compile the financial statements and related disclosures as filed with the SEC;
|
|
3)
|
Outsourcing of our accounting operations. Because there are no employees in our administration, we have outsourced all of our accounting functions to an independent firm. The employees of this firm are managed by supervisors within the firm and are not answerable to our management. This is a material weakness because it could result in a disjunction between the accounting policies adopted by our Board of Directors and the accounting practices applied by the independent firm;
|
4)
|
Insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements;
|
5)
|
Ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.
|
Management's Remediation Initiatives
As of August 31, 2011, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, it was concluded that during the period covered by this report, the internal controls and procedures were not effective due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting. However, management believes these weaknesses did not have an effect on our financial results. During the course of their evaluation, we did not discover any fraud involving management or any other personnel who play a significant role in our disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting.
Due to a lack of financial and personnel resources, we are not able to, and do not intend to, immediately take any action to remediate these material weaknesses. We will not be able to do so until, if ever, we acquire sufficient financing and staff. We will implement further controls as circumstances, cash flow, and working capital permits. Notwithstanding the assessment that our ICFR was not effective and that there were material weaknesses as identified in this report, we believe that our financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended August 31, 2011, fairly presents our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods covered, as identified, in all material respects.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above were the result of the scale of our operations and intrinsic to our small size. Management also believes that these weaknesses did not have an effect on our financial results.
We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, we will, as soon as funds are available to the Company (1) appoint outside directors to our board of directors sufficient to form an audit committee and who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and to increase our personnel resources. We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary, and as funds allow.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s annual report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the period covered by this report, there were no changes (including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses) in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
There is no further information required to be disclosed in a report on Form 8-K during the fourth quarter of the year covered by the Form 10-K, but that was not reported, whether or not otherwise required by this Form 10-K.

Director Independence
As of the date of this Annual Report, we have no independent directors.
The Company has developed the following categorical standards for determining the materiality of relationships that the Directors may have with the Company. A Director shall not be deemed to have a material relationship with the Company that impairs the Director's independence as a result of any of the following relationships:
1.
|
the Director is an officer or other person holding a salaried position of an entity (other than a principal, equity partner or member of such entity) that provides professional services to the Company and the amount of all payments from the Company to such entity during the most recently completed fiscal year was less than two percent of such entity’s consolidated gross revenues;
|
2.
|
the Director is the beneficial owner of less than five (5%) per cent of the outstanding equity interests of an entity that does business with the Company;
|
3.
|
the Director is an executive officer of a civic, charitable or cultural institution that received less than the greater of one million ($1,000,000) dollars or two (2%) per cent of its consolidated gross revenues, as such term is construed by the New York Stock Exchange for purposes of Section 303A.02(b)(v) of the Corporate Governance Standards, from the Company or any of its subsidiaries for each of the last three (3) fiscal years;
|
4.
|
the Director is an officer of an entity that is indebted to the Company, or to which the Company is indebted, and the total amount of either the Company's or the business entity's indebtedness is less than three (3%) per cent of the total consolidated assets of such entity as of the end of the previous fiscal year; and
|
5.
|
the Director obtained products or services from the Company on terms generally available to customers of the Company for such products or services. The Board retains the sole right to interpret and apply the foregoing standards in determining the materiality of any relationship.
|
The Board shall undertake an annual review of the independence of all non-management Directors. To enable the Board to evaluate each non-management Director, in advance of the meeting at which the review occurs, each non-management Director shall provide the Board with full information regarding the Director’s business and other relationships with the Company, its affiliates and senior management.
Directors must inform the Board whenever there are any material changes in their circumstances or relationships that could affect their independence, including all business relationships between a Director and the Company, its affiliates, or members of senior management, whether or not such business relationships would be deemed not to be material under any of the categorical standards set forth above. Following the receipt of such information, the Board shall re-evaluate the Director's independence.
