This Information Statement is being furnished to the holders of record on May 20, 2011, of the outstanding shares of common stock, $.0001 par value ("Common Stock"), of Diversified Opportunities, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the right of Sugarmade, Inc., a California corporation ("Sugarmade"), to designate a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company, pursuant to the terms of an Exchange Agreement, dated April 23, 2011 (the "Exchange Agreement"), by and among the Company, Sugarmade and certain stockholders of Sugarmade. This Information Statement is being provided solely for informational purposes and not in connection with a vote of the Company's stockholders. Additional information regarding the Exchange Agreement and share exchange transaction with Sugarmade which was consummated on May 9, 2011 (the “Closing”) may be obtained in the Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 13, 2011, and which is available at www.sec.gov.

The Exchange Agreement provides that the Company will take all necessary action to appoint the individuals designated by Sugarmade to serve as the directors of the Company, such appointments to be effective no less than 10 days following the filing of this Information Statement with the SEC and its mailing to the Company's holders of record. The Exchange Agreement also provided that Kevin Russeth, the Company’s sole director before the Closing, will resign 10 days following the filing of this Information Statement with the SEC and its mailing to the Company's holders of record so as to enable the Sugarmade designees to be appointed to the Board of Directors.

This Information Statement is being furnished pursuant to Section 14(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder.

Change in Control Transaction

The Closing of the Exchange Agreement and the transactions described in the Exchange Agreement occurred on May 9, 2011. The issuance of the Common Stock to the Sugarmade Stockholders was intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof.


	-2-

The consummation of the Exchange Agreement and the execution and delivery of the Exchange Agreement was approved by the Company's Board of Directors on April 26, 2011.

In connection with the Exchange Agreement, there was a change of control. Prior to the Closing, the Company had 9,199,192 shares of Common Stock outstanding, of which 8,762,500 shares were cancelled or redeemed by the Company pursuant to the terms of a Share Cancellation Agreement with the Company’s former three principal stockholders. Following the Closing, the Company had approximately 9,300,800 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. After the Closing, the former Sugarmade Stockholders own approximately 95.3% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock, and the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to Closing (the "Existing Stockholders") own approximately 4.7% of the shares of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Stock.

Voting Securities

The Company's Common Stock is the only class of equity security that is currently outstanding and entitled to vote at a meeting of the Company's stockholders. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one (1) vote. As of May 20, 2011, there were 9,680,800 shares of the Company's Common Stock outstanding.

The Company's Current Board of Directors and Executive Officer

The Company’s organizational documents provide that the number of directors shall be as determined by a majority of the directors then in office. We currently have two directors, Kevin Russeth and Scott Lantz. Mr. Lantz is the chairman of our board of directors also serves as our chief executive officer. Our board of directors does not have a lead independent director. Our board of directors has determined that its leadership structure is appropriate and effective. Our board of directors believes that having a single individual serve as both chairman and chief executive officer provides leadership, accountability and promotes transparency among directors and company management. The chairman of our board of directors is also actively involved in the management of the Company, which includes having an active role in risk oversight of the Company and its operations.

The Company's directors are elected at the annual meeting of stockholders or by unanimous written consent of the stockholders, and each director holds office until his successor is appointed or he resigns, unless sooner removed. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, the Company only had one director; the Board of Directors did not have any meetings, but completed Board actions by written consent of the Board of Directors. The Company encourages all Board members to attend the Company's annual meeting of stockholders. The Company did not hold an annual meeting of stockholders during the last fiscal year.

The Company had not paid any executive cash compensation prior to the Closing of the Exchange Agreement. Prior to the Closing of the Exchange Agreement, because of the lack of board compensation and the Company's restricted capital position, it has had limited opportunity to attract and retain outside directors. Accordingly, the Company currently has no standing audit, compensation or nominating committees of the Board of Directors. The Company anticipates that it will establish audit, compensation and nominating committees within the next 90 days.
