CONDENSED NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2007

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The foregoing unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Regulation S-B as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2007.  In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented.  Operating results for the three month period ending December 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2008.

Investment Associates Inc. (“the Company”) is a “blank check” company.  It was organized to evaluate, structure and complete a merger with, or acquisition of, a privately owned corporation.

Interim financial data presented herein are unaudited.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has no revenues, minimal cash, and recurring losses since inception.  These factors, among others, may indicate that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans are to engage in evaluating, structuring, and completing a merger with, or acquisition of, a privately owned corporation.  These plans, if successful, will mitigate the factors which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon continuing capital contributions from an affiliate to meet its obligations on a timely basis, consummating a business combination with an operating company, and ultimately attaining profitability.  There is no assurance that the affiliate will continue to provide capital to the Company or that the Company can identify, and consummate, a business combination with another company.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February, 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (hereinafter SFAS No. 159”). This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, although earlier adoption is permitted. Management has not determined the effect that adopting this statement would have on the Company’s financial condition or results of operation.

Use of Estimates

The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements.  Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.

NOTE 3 – LOAN PAYABLE

During the year ended September 30, 2002, an unrelated third party made an unsecured, non-interest bearing loan to the Company for working capital.  The loan remains unpaid at September 30, 2007 and is due on demand (See Note 6).

NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company maintains a mailing address at the offices of RD Capital, Inc. (“RD Capital”), an affiliate under common control.  At this time, the Company has no need for an office.

RD Capital has assumed responsibility for funding the Company’s limited operations.  The Company accounts for such proceeds as contributed capital or as indebtedness to a related party.  During the year ended September 30, 2007, RD Capital contributed an additional $11,000. Through December 31, 2007, RD Capital has contributed a total of $72,283 on behalf of the stockholders, which is included in the accompanying financial statements as “additional paid-in capital”.  RD Capital does not expect to be repaid for its capital contributions to the Company.

December 31, 2007

During the year ended September 30, 2001, Strathmore Minerals Corp, an affiliate corporation under common control, loaned $2,720 to the Company. The loan remains unpaid at September 30, 2007 and is due on demand. The loan is non-interest bearing.

NOTE 5 – COMMON STOCK

During the year ended September 30, 1997, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock in exchange for services.  There have been no issuances of the Company’s common stock after September 30, 1997.

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINEGINCIES

During the year ended September 30, 2007 the Company reclassified $10,000 from Loans Payable to Commitments and Contingencies.  The amount in question was from a loan made through a verbal contract in 2002. The Company has been unable to ascertain if the company who issued the loan is still in operation and will thus be unable to make payment.  The Company believes the loan has now exceeded the statute of limitations for loan collections in Nevada and plans to write off the amount in fiscal 2008.

PLAN OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of the plan of operations of Investment Associates Inc. (“the Company”) should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this quarterly report for the three months ended December 31, 2007.  This quarterly report contains certain forward-looking statements and the Company's future operation results could differ materially from those discussed herein.

We intend to seek to acquire the assets or shares of an entity actively engaged in a business that generates revenues, in exchange for our securities.  We have not identified an acquisition target and have not entered into any negotiations regarding an acquisition.  None of our officers, directors, promoters or affiliates have engaged in any preliminary contact or discussions with any representative of any other company regarding the possibility of an acquisition or merger with us as of the date of this quarterly report.

Depending upon the nature of the relevant business opportunity and the applicable state statutes governing how the transaction is structured, the Company's Board of Directors expects that it will provide our shareholders with complete disclosure documentation concerning a potential business opportunity and the structure of the proposed business combination prior to consummation. This disclosure is expected to be in the form of a proxy or information statement, in addition to the post-effective amendment.

While any disclosure must include audited financial statements of the target entity, we cannot assure you that such audited financial statements will be available.  As part of the negotiation process, the Board of Directors does intend to obtain certain assurances of value, including statements of assets and liabilities, material contracts, accounts receivable statements, or other indicia of the target entity's condition prior to consummating a transaction, with further assurances that an audited statement would be provided prior to execution of a merger or acquisition agreement.  Closing documents will include representations that the value of the assets transferred will not materially differ from the representations included in the closing documents, or the transaction will be voidable.

Due to our intent to remain a shell corporation until a merger or acquisition candidate is identified, it is anticipated that its cash requirements shall be minimal, and that all necessary capital, to the extent required, will be provided by the directors or officers.  We do not anticipate that we will have to raise capital in the next twelve months.  We also do not expect to acquire any plant or significant equipment.

We have not and do not intend to enter into, any arrangement, agreement or understanding with non-management shareholders allowing non-management shareholders to directly or indirectly participate in or influence our management of the Company.  As a result, management is in a position to elect a majority of the directors and to control our affairs.

We have no full time employees.  Our President and Secretary have agreed to allocate a portion of their time to our activities, without compensation.  These officers anticipate that our business plan can be implemented by their devoting approximately five (5) hours each per month to our business affairs and, consequently, conflicts of interest may arise with respect to their limited time commitment.  We do not expect any significant changes in the number of employees.  See "Management."

Our officers and directors may become involved with other companies who have a business purpose similar to ours.  As a result, potential conflicts of interest may arise in the future.  If a conflict does arise and an officer or director is presented with business opportunities under circumstances where there may be a doubt as to whether the opportunity should belong to the Company or another "blank check" company they are affiliated with, they will disclose the opportunity to all the companies.  If a situation arises where more than one company desires to merge with or acquire that target company and the principals of the proposed target company have no preference as to which company will merge with or acquire the target company, the company that first filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission will be entitled to proceed with the proposed transaction.  See "Risk Factors - Affiliation With Other "Blank Check" Companies."

General Business Plan

Our purpose is to seek, investigate and, if investigation warrants, acquire an interest in business opportunities presented to it by persons or firms that desire to seek the perceived advantages of an Exchange Act registered corporation.  We will not restrict our search to any specific business, industry, or geographical location and we may participate in a business venture of virtually any kind or nature.  This discussion of the proposed business is purposefully general and is not meant to restrict our discretion to search for and enter into potential business opportunities.  Management anticipates that it may be able to participate in only one potential business venture because we have nominal assets and limited financial resources.  This lack of diversification should be considered a substantial risk to our shareholders because it will not permit us to offset potential losses from one venture against gains from another.

We may seek a business opportunity with entities that have recently commenced operations, or that wish 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.

We anticipate that the selection of a business opportunity will be complex and extremely risky.  Due to general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some industries and shortages of available capital, management believes that there are numerous firms seeking the perceived benefits of a publicly registered corporation.  The perceived benefits may include facilitating or improving the terms for additional equity financing that may be sought, providing liquidity for incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, providing liquidity (subject to restrictions of applicable statutes) for all shareholders and other factors.  Potentially, available business opportunities may occur in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of these business opportunities extremely difficult and complex.

We have, and will continue to have, no capital to provide the owners of business opportunities with any significant cash or other assets.  However, management believes we will be able to offer owners of acquisition candidates the opportunity to acquire a controlling ownership interest in a publicly registered company without incurring the cost and time required to conduct an initial public offering.  The owners of the business opportunities will, however, incur significant legal and accounting costs in connection with acquisition of a business opportunity, including the costs of preparing Form 8-K's, 10-KSB's, or 10-QSB's, agreements and related reports and documents.  The '34 Act specifically requires that any merger or acquisition candidate comply with all applicable reporting requirements, which include providing audited financial statements to be included within the numerous filings relevant to complying with the `34 Act.  Nevertheless, the officers and directors of the Company have not conducted market research and are not aware of statistical data that would support the perceived benefits of a merger or acquisition transaction for the owners of a business opportunity.

The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by our officers and directors, none of whom is a professional business analyst.  Management intends to concentrate on identifying preliminary prospective business opportunities that may be brought to our attention through present associations of our officers and directors, or by our shareholders.  In analyzing prospective business opportunities, management will consider:

- the available technical, financial and managerial resources;

- working capital and other financial requirements;

- history of operations, if any;

- prospects for the future;

- nature of present and expected competition;

- the quality and experience of management services that may be available and the depth of that management;

- the potential for further research, development, or exploration;

- specific risk factors not now foreseeable but could be anticipated to impact our proposed activities;

- the potential for growth or expansion;

- the potential for profit;

- the perceived public recognition of acceptance of products, services, or trades;

- name identification; and

- other relevant factors.

- 10 -

Our officers and directors expect to meet personally with management and key personnel of the business opportunity as part of their "due diligence" investigation.  To the extent possible, the Company intends to utilize written reports and personal investigations to evaluate the above factors.  We will not acquire or merge with any company that cannot provide audited financial statements within a reasonable period of time after closing of the proposed transaction.

Our management, while probably not especially experienced in matters relating to the prospective new business of the Company, shall rely upon their own efforts and, to a much lesser extent, the efforts of our shareholders, in accomplishing our business purposes.  We do not anticipate that any outside consultants or advisors, except for our legal counsel and accountants, will be utilized by us to accomplish our business purposes.  However, if we do retain an outside consultant or advisor, any cash fee will be paid by the prospective merger/acquisition candidate, as we have no cash assets.  We have no contracts or agreements with any outside consultants and none are contemplated.

We will not restrict our search for any specific kind of firms, and may acquire a venture that is in its preliminary or development stage or is already operating.  We cannot predict at this time the status of any business in which we may become engaged, because the business may need to seek additional capital, may desire to have its shares publicly traded, or may seek other perceived advantages that we may offer.  Furthermore, we do not intend to seek capital to finance the operation of any acquired business opportunity until we have successfully consummated a merger or acquisition.

We anticipate that we will incur nominal expenses in the implementation of its business plan.  Because we have no capital to pay these anticipated expenses, present management will pay these charges with their personal funds, as interest free loans, for a minimum of twelve months from the date of this quarterly report.  If additional funding is necessary, management and or shareholders will continue to provide capital or arrange for additional outside funding.  However, the only opportunity that management has to have these loans repaid will be from a prospective merger or acquisition candidate.  Management has no agreements with us that would impede or prevent consummation of a proposed transaction.  We cannot assure, however, that management will continue to provide capital indefinitely if a merger candidate cannot be found.  If a merger candidate cannot be found in a reasonable period of time, management may be required reconsider its business strategy, which could result in our dissolution.

Acquisition of Opportunities

In implementing a structure for a particular business acquisition, we may become a party to a merger, consolidation, reorganization, joint venture, or licensing agreement with another corporation or entity.  It may also acquire stock or assets of an existing business.  On the consummation of a transaction, it is probable that our present management and shareholders will no longer be in control.  In addition, our directors may, as part of the terms of the acquisition transaction, resign and be replaced by new directors without a vote of our shareholders.  Furthermore, management may negotiate or consent to the purchase of all or a portion of our stock.  Any terms of sale of the shares presently held by officers and/or directors will be also afforded to all other shareholders on similar terms and conditions.  Any and all sales will only be made in compliance with the securities laws of the United States and any applicable state.

- 11 -

While the actual terms of a transaction that management may not be a party to cannot be predicted, it may be expected that the parties to the business transaction will find it desirable to avoid the creation of a taxable event and thereby structure the acquisition in a so-called "tax-free" reorganization under Sections 368(a)(1) or 351 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code").  In order to obtain tax-free treatment under the Code, it may be necessary for the owners of the acquired business to own 80% or more of the voting stock of the surviving entity.  In that event, the shareholders of the Company would retain 20% or less of the issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity, which would result in significant dilution in the equity of the shareholders.

As part of the "due diligence" investigation, our officers and directors will meet personally with management and key personnel, may visit and inspect material facilities, obtain independent analysis of verification of certain information provided, check references of management and key personnel, and take other reasonable investigative measures to the extent of our limited financial resources and management expertise.  How we will participate in an opportunity will depend on the nature of the opportunity, the respective needs and desires of the parties, the management of the target company and our relative negotiation strength.

With respect to any merger or acquisition, negotiations with target company management are expected to focus on the percentage of our Company that the target company shareholders would acquire in exchange for all of their shareholdings in the target company.  Depending upon, among other things, the target company's assets and liabilities, our shareholders will probably hold a substantially lesser percentage ownership interest following any merger or acquisition.  The percentage ownership may be subject to significant reduction in the event we acquire a company with substantial assets.  Any merger or acquisition effected by us can be expected to have a significant dilutive effect on the percentage of shares held by our then shareholders.

We will participate in a business opportunity only after the negotiation and execution of appropriate written agreements.  Although we cannot predict the terms of the agreements, generally the agreements will require some specific representations and warranties by all of the parties, will specify certain events of default, will detail the terms of closing and the conditions that must be satisfied by each of the parties prior to and after the closing, will outline the manner of bearing costs, including costs associated with our attorneys and accountants, will set forth remedies on default and will include miscellaneous other terms.

As stated previously, we will not acquire or merge with any entity that cannot provide independent audited financial statements concurrent with the closing of the proposed transaction.  We are subject to the reporting requirements of the '34 Act.  Included in these requirements is our affirmative duty to file independent audited financial statements as part of its Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission upon consummation of a merger or acquisition, as well as our audited financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K (or 10-KSB, as applicable) and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q (or 10-QSB, as applicable).  If the audited financial statements are not available at closing, or if the audited financial statements provided do not conform to the representations made by the candidate to be acquired in the closing documents, the closing documents will provide that the proposed transaction will be voidable at the discretion of our present management.  If the transaction is voided, the agreement will also contain a provision providing for the acquisition entity to reimburse us for all costs associated with the proposed transaction.

Competition

We will remain an insignificant participant among the firms that engage in the acquisition of business opportunities.  There are many established venture capital and financial concerns that have significantly greater financial and personnel resources and technical expertise than we do.  In view of our combined extremely limited financial resources and limited management availability, we will continue to be at a significant competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors.

Item 3 - Controls and Procedures

(a)Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2007.  In designing and evaluating the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, the Company and its management recognize that there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures.  Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their desired control objectives.  Additionally, in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures, the Company's management was required to apply its reasonable judgment.  Furthermore, in the course of this evaluation, management considered certain internal control areas, in which we have made and are continuing to make changes to improve and enhance controls.  Based upon the required evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of December 31, 2007, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective (at the "reasonable assurance" level mentioned above) to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.

From time-to-time, the Company and its management have conducted and will continue to conduct further reviews and, from time to time put in place additional documentation, of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as well as its internal control over financial reporting.  The Company may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness, as well as changes aimed at ensuring that the Company's systems evolve with, and meet the needs of, the Company's business.  These changes may include changes necessary or desirable to address recommendations of the Company's management, its counsel and/or its independent auditors, including any recommendations of its independent auditors arising out of their audits and reviews of the Company's financial statements.  These changes may include changes to the Company's own systems, as well as to the systems of businesses that the Company has acquired or that the Company may acquire in the future and will, if made, be intended to enhance the effectiveness of the Company's controls and procedures.  The Company is also continually striving to improve its management and operational efficiency and the Company expects that its efforts in that regard will from time to time directly or indirectly affect the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as well as the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

(b)           Changes in internal controls.

There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect the Company's internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
