You can identify these statements by the use of words like "may", "will", "could", "should", "project", "believe", "anticipate", "expect", "plan", "estimate", "forecast", "potential", "intend", "continue", and variations of these words or comparable words. Forward looking statements do not guarantee future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ substantially from the results that the forward looking statements suggest for various reasons, including those discussed under the caption "Risks Related to Our Business" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. These forward looking statements are made only as of the date of this report. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Company's expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based.

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. There are several important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results and percentages and results anticipated by the forward-looking statements. The Company has sought to identify the most significant risks to its business, but cannot predict whether or to what extent any of such risks may be realized nor can there be any assurance that the Company has identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risks before making an investment decision with respect to the Company's stock.

4--------------------------------------------------------------------------------ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued Advertising and Marketing - Work with several marketing companies to develop brand identity, marketing materials, and update our web site. Utilize all available marketing venues and public relations opportunities to promote the Company and its products, services, and franchise system. Specifically, hire sales people, use direct mail, as well as images on our trucks, trailers and equipment, online advertisings and marking with major search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing and such.

Sales - Grow its core business in North Texas, and expand in other areas.

Franchise Development - Marketing the Firemans Contractors® franchise concept and licensing of Company's Service Marks, with the short-term objective of establishing ten new franchisees during fiscal year 2013.

Operating Environment The painting industry is a $20 Billion annual industry, up from $16.1 Billion in 2003. Since 2006, reports indicate an annual rate increase of 3%, per The Rauch Guide to the US Paint Industry. As previously noted the industry is highly fragmented with about 40,000 companies nationwide. Most companies are small, over 70% have fewer than five employees. Larger firms may have more than 200 employees and generate an average $40 million in annual revenue.

The parking lot striping and maintenance service industry is very fragmented, consisting of a few national companies and numerous small, privately held and regional operators. Parking lot striping and maintenance is an ongoing service, requiring restriping and updated signage every 1-3 years. Parking lots require ADA compliance and city code mandates that require businesses to maintain proper visual signage, fire lanes, and other relevant markings & accessibility for customers to do business. Firemans Contractors continues to operate and increase its customer base and increase sales through various advertising, business networking, cold calls, referrals and repeat customers.

The Company recognizes that building its brand is important to securing a strong standing. Therefore, Firemans Contractors, Inc. will continue focusing to build a brand that encompasses its core values of integrity and quality service with "Contractors You Can Trust®". The Company's goal is dedicated to stream-lining the contractor industry and making a difference by providing customers with quality service, using the best products available on the market for long lasting wear and as environmentally friendly as possible. To raise brand awareness among its intended audience, the Company has developed an appealing and memorable logo that it will use throughout its promotional strategy and in its various marketing materials. This will aid in brand reinforcement and the enhanced growth of its name and positive reputation among consumers nationwide.

Operating Results For the three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we have generated revenues of $223,938 and $236,948, respectively. Amount for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 includes $38,143 of revenues from franchising. We've incurred net losses for the same periods of $276,598 and $200,257.

As of September 30, 2012, the Company had assets of $151,944, and total liabilities of $1,205,412. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had assets of $158,410, and total liabilities of $1,168,255.

Liquidity and Capital Resources The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

As of September 30 and June 30, 2012, the Company had $3,949 and $7,008 of cash, respectively. Sales of our common stock and borrowings under the convertible note agreement have been the primary source of these funds.

We are presently able to meet our obligations as they come due. At September 30, 2012, we had a working capital deficit of $1,116,443, which included $628,828 owed to related parties, mainly for accrued compensation. At June 30, 2012, we had a working capital deficit of $1,071,378, which included $567,428 owed to related parties, mainly for accrued compensation.

In January of 2011 we secured a line of credit, by executing a Convertible Note Agreement. Under the agreement, the Company can borrow up to $500,000, on as needed basis. Interest on the outstanding balance is due monthly, at a rate of 36% per year, with no schedule set for principal repayments. The Holder of the Note has a right to convert part, or the entire outstanding balance into shares of Company's common stock at a 30% discount to market price. Unpaid principal and interest outstanding under the Note, is due on January 1, 2013 (one year term, with one year extension), unless the agreement is further extended, with the consent of both parties. As of November 1, 2012, the Company received $306,000 in six separate installments. We believe this line of credit should be sufficient to ensure that the Company is able to meet its obligations for the next 12 months.

5 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - continued We anticipate that our future liquidity requirements will arise from the need to fund our growth, pay current obligations and future capital expenditures. In addition, following the completion of this offering, we expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase due to the additional operational and reporting costs associated with being a public company. The primary sources of funding for such requirements are expected to be cash generated from operations and raising additional funds from the private sources and/or debt financing.

However, we can provide no assurances that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations and/or obtain additional capital or financing on terms satisfactory to us, if at all, to remain a going concern.

Other Items and Conditions None.
