Until the sale of our subsidiaries, Electronic Hardware Corp., Smart Sourcing Inc., and Compact Disc Packaging Corp. (the “Subsidiaries”) on September 28, 2006, we were a holding company and the shares of the Subsidiaries held by us constituted substantially all of our assets. Accordingly, since the sale of the Subsidiaries, we have existed as a shell company with no subsidiaries and no business operations. Our plan of operation is to seek a target company with which to merge or to complete a business combination. In any transaction, management anticipates that we would be the surviving legal entity and our shareholders would retain a percentage ownership interest in the post-transaction company. The amount of the retained equity ownership by the shareholders will be negotiated by management and the target company, but would likely be less than a controlling interest.
We do not plan to restrict our search to any specific business, industry or geographic location, and we may participate in a business venture of virtually any kind or nature.
We may seek a business opportunity with entities which have recently commenced operations, or that desire to utilize the public marketplace in order to raise additional capital in order to expand into new products or markets, to develop a new product or service, or for other corporate purposes. We may acquire assets and establish wholly owned subsidiaries in various businesses or acquire existing businesses as subsidiaries.
On July 29, 2008, we entered into a letter of intent with Network 1 Financial Securities Inc., a Texas corporation (“NETW”), pursuant to which we would purchase one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock of NETW, resulting in NETW becoming our wholly owned subsidiary, in exchange for twenty-two million (22,000,000) shares of our Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value, which amount shall be subject to adjustment after the completion of (a) NETW’s audited financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, and (b) a due diligence review by us. NETW is a registered broker-dealer. The acquisition is subject to due diligence and the execution of definitive agreements. If consummated, the transaction would constitute a reverse acquisition of us by NETW, as NETW would control the post merged company.
We can give no assurance that any transaction discussed herein will occur, or that if such a transaction were to occur, it would enhance our future operations or financial results, or specifically that we would become and remain profitable as a result of such transaction.
For the interim periods ended September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007, our financial statements reflect that we had no operations. As a result of the sale of the Subsidiaries on September 28, 2006, we are currently in the development stage and exist as a shell company.
OPERATING EXPENSES
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 were $31,129, as compared to $41,615 for the comparable period ended September 30, 2007. General and administrative expenses decreased by $10,486 or 25.2% during the quarter ended September 30, 2008 as compared to September 30, 2007 due to decreased accounting fees for the three month period.
General and administrative expenses for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 were $126,793, as compared to $193,339 for the comparable period ended September 30, 2007. General and administrative expenses decreased by $66,546 or 34.4% during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to September 30, 2007 due to a decrease in accounting and legal fees for the nine month period.
Going forward, general and administrative expenses should remain relatively constant unless we undertake an acquisition in which case legal and accounting expenses would significantly increase.
Interest Income
Interest income for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 was $6,656, as compared to $11,413 for the comparable period ended September 30, 2007. Interest income is earned from the certificates of deposit which we hold.
Interest income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 was $28,480, as compared to $45,770 for the comparable period ended September 30, 2007. In addition to interest income we earned from certificate of deposits which we hold, we earned $3,232 in interest during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 from a loan to Charter Fabrics, Inc. which we made on October 31, 2006 and which was included in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 amount above. This note receivable was repaid during the quarter ended March 31, 2008.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our total assets as of September 30, 2008 were $1,175,702, which are comprised of $626,899 cash and cash equivalents, $542,448 certificates of deposit with a maturity of six months, and $6,355 in prepaid expenses. We have $4,181 in current liabilities which consist of accrued office and legal expenses. We presently anticipate that cash requirements during the next twelve months will relate to maintaining the corporate entity, complying with the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, evaluating and reviewing possible business ventures and acquisition opportunities and potentially negotiating and consummating any such transactions. We believe that we have sufficient cash on hand to meet these cash requirements over a period of twelve months. Our cash decreased by $62,738 to $626,899 at September 30, 2008 from $689,637 at December 31, 2007.
Cash flows used in operating activities was $112,738 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 which reflected a net loss of $98,313. Our prepaid expenses increased by $231, which was due to a renewed insurance policy. Our accounts payable decreased by $830. In addition, we earned interest on a long term certificate of deposit in the amount of $13,364.

Cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $50,000. During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, we received payment of the note receivable plus accrued interest from Charter Fabrics, Inc. in the amount of $53,232.
There were no financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
CAUTIONARY FACTORS REGARDING FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS

Certain statements contained in this report, including, without limitation, statements containing the words, “likely,” “forecast,” “project,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” and other words of similar meaning, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In addition to forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the following forward-looking factors could cause our future results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements: capital resources, credit resources and funding.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The term “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) refers to the controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
We believe that our disclosure controls and procedures are adequate to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Further, we believe that information required to be disclosed by us is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified in SEC’s rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2008 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to affect our internal control over financial reporting (and the material weakness which we disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, filed with the SEC on March 12, 2008).
