SSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Edgar Online, Inc.

Forward-looking statements

When used in this Report, words or phrases such as will likely result, management expects, we expect, will continue, is anticipated, estimated or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, each of which speaks only at the date made. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. We have no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, general economic conditions, our ability to find a suitable company to effect a business combination with, competitive factors and other risk factors as set forth in Exhibit 99.1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended August 31, 2008.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Report.

Our Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

Our financial statements as of November 30, 2011 include an explanatory paragraph describing the existence of conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of November 30, 2011 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. If we are not able to continue as a going concern, it is likely that holders of our common stock will lose all of their investment. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Overview

General

Golf Rounds.com, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in 1968 as a Delaware corporation, which is also authorized to conduct business in Georgia. Until the fourth quarter of fiscal 1992, the Company was engaged in the wholesale distribution of aluminum alloys, steel and other specialty metals under the name American Metals Service, Inc. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1992, the Company liquidated its assets and did not conduct any business operations until May 1999. In May 1999, the Company acquired the assets of PKG Design, Inc., the developer of two (2) sports - related Internet websites: golfrounds.com and skiingusa.com. In connection with the acquisition of these websites, the Company changed its name to Golf Rounds.com, Inc.

In August 2001, the Company ceased operations of its golfrounds.com and skiingusa.com websites since continued maintenance of these websites was not a productive use of the Companys resources.

                                       9 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On September 19, 2003, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, DPE Acquisition Corp., (formed on September 2, 2003), entered into an agreement and plan of reorganization and merger with Direct Petroleum Exploration, Inc. (DPE), which was not consummated. The Company continues to maintain the subsidiary for use in any other potential future acquisition. This subsidiary is currently inactive and has no operations.

On September 17, 2010, the Company declared a special cash dividend of $0.50 per share of common stock issued and outstanding to be paid on October 21, 2010 to stockholders of record as of September 30, 2010 using cash from its general funds. On October 21, 2010, the aggregate dividend paid was $1,783,689.

Our Business Plan

Our current business plan is to serve as a vehicle for the acquisition of or merger or consolidation with another company (a target business). We intend to use our available working capital of $28,271 (as of November 30, 2011), capital stock, debt or a combination of these to effect a business combination with a target business which we believe has significant growth potential. The business combination may be with a financially stable, mature company or a company that is in its early stages of development or growth, which could include companies seeking to obtain capital and to improve their financial stability.

We will not restrict our search to any particular industry. Rather, we may investigate businesses of essentially any kind or nature and participate in any type of business that may, in our managements opinion, meet our business objectives as described in this report. We emphasize that the description in this report of our business objectives is extremely general and is not meant to restrict the discretion of our management to search for and enter into potential business opportunities. We have not chosen the particular business in which we will engage and have not conducted any market studies with respect to any business or industry for you to evaluate the possible merits or risks of the target business or the particular industry in which we may ultimately operate. To the extent we enter into a business combination with a financially unstable company or an entity in its early stage of development or growth, including entities without established records of sales or earnings, we will become subject to numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of financially unstable and early stage or potential emerging growth companies. In addition, to the extent that we effect a business combination with an entity in an industry characterized by a high level of risk, we will become subject to the currently unascertainable risks of that industry. An extremely high level of risk frequently characterizes certain industries that experience rapid growth. In addition, although we will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular industry or target business, we cannot assure you that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risk factors.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of revenue and expense, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe that it is important for investors to be aware that there is a particularly high degree of subjectivity involved in estimating the fair value of stock-based compensation, that the expenses recorded for stock-based compensation in the Companys financial statements may differ significantly from the actual value realized by the recipients of the stock awards, and that the expenses recorded for stock-based compensation will not result in cash payments from Golf Rounds.com.

                                       10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Results of Operations

We have had no revenues (other than interest and dividend income) since 1992 and will not generate any revenues (other than interest and dividend income) until, at the earliest, the completion of a business combination.

Three months ended November 30, 2011 compared to three months ended November 30, 2010

Other income (interest) for the three months ended November 30, 2011 decreased to $15 from $852 for the three months ended November 30, 2010, a decrease of 98.2%. The decrease in interest income was due to fewer funds invested in money market fund investments in the current year (resulting from the $1,783,689 used to pay a special dividend to stockholders on October 21, 2010).

General, administrative and other expenses for the three months ended November 30, 2011 decreased to $29,137 from $59,771 for the three months ended November 30, 2010, a decrease of 51.3%. The decrease was due to lower payroll expenses of $12,207, legal expenses of $10,785, stockholder service expenses of $3,673, taxes and license expense of $1,609, directors and officers liability insurance expenses of $1,500, business wire expenses of $750, and bank charges of $110.

General, administrative and other expenses for the three months ended November 30, 2011 consisted of audit and accounting fee expenses of $10,000, payroll expenses of $7,691, legal expenses of $3,722, office sharing expenses of $2,700, directors and officers liability insurance expenses of $2,500, stockholder service expenses of $2,364, taxes and license expenses of $113, and bank charges of $47.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

As of November 30, 2011, cash and cash equivalents were $48,314, which includes $39,754 invested in various money market accounts with a weighted average yield of 0.14% and $8,560 in a non-interest bearing checking account. As of November 30, 2011, working capital was $28,271.

The Companys total liabilities at November 30, 2011 were $29,460, which was comprised of accounts payable of $13,722 and accrued liabilities of $15,738.

Cash flows used in operating activities for the three months ended November 30, 2011</chron> of $5,087 stems from a net loss of $29,122, offset by a decrease in prepaid expenses of $2,500 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $21,535.

Currently, our working capital may not be sufficient to last for more than 12 months. If we acquire a business, our-post acquisition capital needs may be more substantial and our current capital resources may not be sufficient to meet our requirements. We currently believe that if we need capital in the future, we will be able to raise capital through sales of equity and institutional or investor borrowings, although we cannot assure you we will be able to obtain such capital. We anticipate that after any acquisition we may complete in accordance with our business plan, we will use substantially all our then existing working capital to fund the operations of the acquired business. In addition, we believe that any new business operations may require additional capital to fund its operations.

Contractual obligations

The Company has no material contractual obligations other than those relating to employment as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2011.

                                       11 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
