FERIS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1-SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION
Founded in 1994, Titan Motorcycle Co. of America, renamed Feris International, Inc., was a premier designer, manufacturer and distributor of high-end, American-made, V-twin engine motorcycles marketed under various Titan trademarks. On January 9, 2001, Titan Motorcycle Co. of America, a Nevada corporation (the "Company") filed for voluntary bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court in the District of Arizona.
On June 1, 2005, the 8th District Court of the State of Nevada appointed a Custodian of the corporation to appoint new directors and reorganize corporate operations. The company has been a public shell and has not engaged in any material operating activities since this date.
The Company is currently planning a merger with Pro Sports & Entertainment, Inc. as detailed in Note 7-Subsequent Events.
B. Accounting Method
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a December 31 year-end.
C. Property & Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Major additions and improvements are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of equipment retired or sold are removed from the accounts and any differences between the undepreciated amount and the proceeds from the sale are recorded as a gain or loss on sale of equipment. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets.
D. Capital Stock
The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 200,000,000 shares of common stock at a par value of $0.001. At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 there were 118,500 shares issued and outstanding.
E. 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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F. Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.” The Company recognizes revenue when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer pursuant to applicable laws and regulations, including factors such as when there has been evidence of a sales arrangement, delivery has occurred, or service have been rendered, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.
G. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151 "Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. The amendments made by Statement 151 clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges and require the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The guidance is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after November 23, 2004. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of SFAS 151, and does not believe the impact will be significant to the Company's overall results of operations or financial position.
4
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.152, "Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions--an amendment of FASB Statements No. 66 and 67" ("SFAS 152) The amendments made by Statement 152 This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate, to reference the financial accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions that is provided in AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 04-2, Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions. This Statement also amends FASB Statement No. 67, Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects, to state that the guidance for (a) incidental operations and (b) costs incurred to sell real estate projects does not apply to real estate time-sharing transactions. The accounting for those operations and costs is subject to the guidance in SOP 04-2. This Statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of SFAS 152, and does not believe the impact will be significant to the Company's overall results of operations or financial position.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions. “The amendments made by Statement 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Previously, Opinion 29 required that the accounting for an exchange of a productive asset for a similar productive asset or an equivalent interest in the same or similar productive asset should be based on the recorded amount of the asset relinquished. Opinion 29 provided an exception to its basic measurement principle (fair value) for exchanges of similar productive assets. The Board believes that exception required that some nonmonetary exchanges, although commercially substantive, be recorded on a carryover basis. By focusing the exception on exchanges that lack commercial substance, the Board believes this Statement produces financial reporting that more faithfully represents the economics of the transactions. The Statement is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after the date of issuance. The provisions of this Statement shall be applied prospectively. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of SFAS 153, and does not believe the impact will be significant to the Company's overall results of operations or financial position.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment". Statement 123(R) will provide investors and other users of financial statements with more complete and neutral financial information by requiring that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. Statement 123(R) covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. Statement 123(R) replaces FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Statement 123, as originally issued in 1995, established as preferable a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. However, that Statement permitted entities the option of continuing to apply the guidance in Opinion 25, as long as the footnotes to financial statements disclosed what net income would have been had the preferable fair-value-based method been used. Public entities (other than those filing as small business issuers) will be required to apply Statement 123(R) as of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. The Company adopted Statement 123(R) in December of 2005.
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued two FASB Staff Positions - FSP FAS 109-1, Application of FASB Statement 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, and FSP FAS 109-2 Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. Neither of these affected the Company as it does not participate in the related activities.
In March 2005, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, “Share-Based Payment” (“SAB 107”), which provides interpretive guidance related to the interaction between SFAS 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations. It also provides the SEC staff’s views regarding valuation of share-based payment arrangements. In April 2005, the SEC amended the compliance dates for SFAS 123(R), to allow companies to implement the standard at the beginning of their next fiscal year, instead of the next reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005. Management is currently evaluating the impact SAB 107 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations” (“FIN 47”). FIN 47 provides guidance relating to the identification of and financial reporting for legal obligations to perform an asset retirement activity. The Interpretation requires recognition of a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 also defines when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. The provision is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company will adopt FIN 47 beginning the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 and does not believe the adoption will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations or cash flows.
5
In May 2005, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” This new standard replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements,” and represents another step in the FASB’s goal to converge its standards with those issued by the IASB. Among other changes, Statement 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented on the new accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. Statement 154 also provides that (1) a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived non-financial asset be accounted for as a change in estimate (prospectively) that was effected by a change in accounting principle, and (2) correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a “restatement.” The new standard is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early adoption of this standard is permitted for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after June 1, 2005. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of Statement 154 and does not believe the impact will be significant to the Company's overall results of operations or financial position.
In February of 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments”, which is intended to simplify the accounting and improve the financial reporting of certain hybrid financial instruments (i.e., derivatives embedded in other financial instruments). The statement amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, and SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 125.” SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments issued or acquired after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact SFAS No. 155 will have on its consolidated financial statements, if any.
The implementation of the provisions of these pronouncements are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statement presentation.

NOTE 3-ACCRUED CUSTODIAN COMPENSATION
Subsequent to September 30, 2007, the Board of Directors agreed that the Company would retroactively issue the Custodian $1,200 per month to compensate for the last two years of services. In addition, 124,000 shares of stock at the Board agreed upon price were authorized as additional compensation.
NOTE 4- CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE
On July 22, 2005, the Company issued a note payable totaling $75,000 to the Custodian of the Company. The note has an interest rate bearing 8% per annum and is due upon demand. The holder of this note may, at their option, convert all or any portion of the accrued interest and unpaid principle balance at par value or other price determined by the Board of Directors.
NOTE 5-COMMITMENTS AND CONTIGENCIES

LITIGATION
On January 5, 2007, a judgment was entered into on behalf of the transfer agent against the company related to outstanding fees. These fees are included in accrued expenses. On August 8, 2007, this obligation was satisfied. On September 4, 2007, the transfer agent submitted an invoice for an additional $13,650 for services rendered after June 30, 2007. This amount is being disputed by the Company.
NOTE 6-INCOME TAXES
The Company had available approximately $12,802,527 and $12,741,765 of unused Federal and state net operating loss carryforwards at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, that may be applied against future taxable income. These net operating loss carryforwards expire through 2022 and 2012 for federal and state purposes, respectively. There is no assurance that the Company will realize the benefit of the net operating loss carryforwards.

SFAS No. 109 requires a valuation allowance to be recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, valuation allowances for the full amount of the net deferred tax asset were established due to the uncertainties as to the amount of the taxable income that would be generated in future years.

NOTE 7-SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On August 20, 2007, Feris International, Inc. (the “Company”), Feris Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and an individual, on the one hand, and Pro Sports & Entertainment, Inc. (“PSEI”), on the other hand, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge into PSEI (the “Merger”), PSEI will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the shareholders of PSEI will receive shares of the Common Stock of the Company representing approximately 85.22% of Feris’ issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully diluted basis after giving effect to the Merger and the possible conversion of an outstanding convertible note (the “Convertible Note”). Consummation of the Merger is dependent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions including shareholder approval of the parties, the Company becoming current in its filings and the absence of liabilities (except for the Convertible Note). PSEI is engaged in owning, operating and marketing various live entertainment and sports events. PSEI also owns and operates Stratus Rewards, a marketing and redemption platform wrapped around a Visa Signature card, which provides exclusive benefits to its cardholders in the form of luxury trips, private jet travel, high end merchandise and other rewards for specified levels of use.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS’ DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS.
This Report, including any documents which may be incorporated by reference into this Report, contains “Forward-Looking Statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including, without limitation, statements regarding our lack of operating revenues or profits, the risk that our shareholders could suffer substantial dilution, and the fact that we have not paid dividends to date. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “Forward-Looking Statements” for purposes of these provisions, including any projections of earnings, revenues or other financial items, any statements of the plans and objectives of management for future operations, any statements concerning proposed new products or services, any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance, and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. All Forward-Looking Statements included in this document are made as of the date hereof and are based on information available to us as of such date. We assume no obligation to update any Forward-Looking Statement. In some cases, Forward-Looking Statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “believes,” “estimates,” “potential,” or “continue,” or the negative thereof or other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the Forward-Looking Statements contained herein are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations or any of the Forward-Looking Statements will prove to be correct, and actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in the Forward-Looking Statements. Future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any Forward-Looking Statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, including any other factors referred to in our company’s press releases and reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All subsequent Forward-Looking Statements attributable to our company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. Additional factors that may have a direct bearing on our company’s operating results are described under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report.
Introductory Comment
Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-KSB, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and “our company” refer to Feris International, Inc., a Nevada corporation.
Explanatory Note
During the period covered by this Quarterly Report, we had no significant business activities, and have had no material business activities since 2001. As a result, the “Results of Operations” section below describes the results of a company, which did not engage in any material business or operating activities during the quarters ended September 30, 2007, and September 30, 2006.
Overview
Titan Motorcycle Co. of America was organized in 1994, and later renamed Feris International, Inc. It was a premier designer, manufacturer and distributor of high-end, American-made, V-twin engine motorcycles marketed under various “Titan” trademarks. On January 9, 2001, we filed for voluntary bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court in the District of Arizona. We were released from bankruptcy in November 2003 and discontinued our prior business as a designer, manufacturer and distributor of motorcycles, shortly thereafter.
9
On June 1, 2005, the 8th District Court of the State of Nevada appointed a custodian of our company (the “Custodian”) to reorganize corporate operations. We have been a public shell company since that date. The Custodian subsequently appointed Patricia Linson as our current President and sole director, and she has served in that role since. We have no other officers or members of management. On August 3, 2005, we effected a 1:400 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock. In addition, in August 2005, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to effect a name change to “Feris International, Inc.”
For a complete description of our business prior to the bankruptcy filing, see our Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1999, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 17, 2000.
Entry Into Merger Agreement
On August 20, 2007, we, together with Feris Merger Sub, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), and Patricia Linson, on the one hand, and Pro Sports & Entertainment, Inc. (“PSEI”), on the other hand, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge into PSEI (the “Merger”), PSEI will become our wholly owned subsidiary, and the shareholders of PSEI will receive shares of our common stock representing approximately 85.22% of our company’s issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully diluted basis after giving effect to the Merger and the possible conversion of an outstanding convertible note. Consummation of the Merger is dependent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions including shareholder approval of the parties, our company becoming current in its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the absence of liabilities (except for the aforementioned convertible note).
PSEI is engaged in owning, operating and marketing various live entertainment and sports events. PSEI also owns and operates Stratus Rewards, a marketing and redemption platform wrapped around a Visa Signature card, which provides exclusive benefits to its cardholders in the form of luxury trips, private jet travel, high end merchandise and other rewards for specified levels of use.
At this time our shares are speculative and involve a high degree of risk, for the reasons following. We have no operations or revenues, thus there are no financial results upon which anyone may base an assessment of our potential. There is no assurance that we will be successful in completing the Merger, nor that we will be successful or that our shares will have any value even if the Merger is completed. After completion of the Merger, our current shareholders will experience severe dilution of their ownership due to the issuance of shares in the Merger.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported assets, liabilities, sales and expenses in the accompanying financial statements. Critical accounting policies are those that require the most subjective and complex judgments, often employing the use of estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Certain other critical accounting policies, including the assumptions and judgments underlying them, are disclosed in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the period ended December 31, 2006. However, we do not believe that there are any alternative methods of accounting for our operations that would have a material affect on our financial statements.
Results of Operations
Revenues and Gross Profit. We are a public shell company and do not have significant business operations at this time. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we did not earn any revenues. We did not recognize any revenue for the comparable periods in 2006.

Operating Expenses and Operating Loss. We incurred $11,100 and $55,800 in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, compared with $3,600 and $10,800 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.
Other Income/ Expense and Net Loss. We incurred $1,654 and $4,962 in interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, compared with $1,549 and $4,647 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. In sum, our net loss applicable to common shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $12,754 and $60,762, respectively, or a loss of $0.11 and $0.51 per fully diluted share, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, we incurred a net loss applicable to common shareholders of $5,149 and $15,447, respectively, or a loss of $0.04 and $0.13 per fully diluted share, respectively.
Liquidity And Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2007, we had $0 in cash and had a working capital deficit of $203,721. We have not generated any revenues since fiscal year 1999.
On July 22, 2005, we issued a note payable in the aggregate amount of $75,000 (the “Note”) to the Custodian of our company appointed by the bankruptcy court. The Note has an interest rate bearing 8% per annum and is due upon demand. The holder of the Note may, at his option, convert into our common stock any portion of the accrued interest and unpaid principal balance. The proceeds from the Note were used to pay off certain outstanding obligations incurred in connection with our bankruptcy.
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(c) of Regulation S-B.
RISK FACTORS
In addition to other information included in this report, the following factors should be considered in evaluating our future prospects:
Risks relating to the Merger Agreement
The anticipated benefits of the Merger may not be realized.
We enter into the Merger Agreement with the expectation that the merger will result in various benefits including, among other things, benefits relating to higher revenues and profits as well as easier access to capital markets, and operating a more profitable public company. However, there is no guarantee that by virtue of the Merger, we will generate higher profits or increase value to our shareholders. Following the Merger, we will face competition in a new industry with challenges that may be different from those we faced in our legacy business. Failure to achieve these anticipated benefits could result in increased costs and decreases in the amount of expected revenues.
If the conditions to the Merger are not satisfied or waived, the Merger may not occur.
Specified conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement must be satisfied or waived to complete the Merger. If the conditions are not satisfied or waived, to the extent waiver is permitted by applicable law, the Merger will not occur or will be delayed, and each of us and PSEI may lose some or all of the intended benefits of the Merger.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Since 2001, the year in which we filed for bankruptcy, we have not had any material business or operational activity. In addition, we have been a public shell company with no employees or revenues since 2005.
As a result, we have not instituted any procedures for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over our financial reporting. Following consummation of a business combination, we believe the management in place at that time will establish such procedures in compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
