Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2008
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the presentation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements follows:
General
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Syndication, Inc., (“Syndication” or the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Accordingly, the results from operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated December 31, 2007 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's SEC Form 10-KSB/A.
Basis and business presentation
Syndication, Inc., formerly Syndication Net.com, Inc., is in the development stage and its efforts in the past have been principally devoted to acquiring controlling interests in or to participate in the creation of, and to provide financial, management and technical support to, development stage businesses, e-commerce businesses and traditional brick-and-mortar businesses. To date the Company has generated minimal revenues, has incurred expenses, and has sustained losses. Consequently, its operations are subject to all risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. For the period from inception of development stage through March 31, 2008, the Company has accumulated losses of $5,526,716
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Syndication, Inc. and Sy-Med Decompression, Inc, which is a wholly owned subsidiary formed in Maryland in June 2007, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Syndicated Properties LLC, whose operations are discontinued in the current year. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Organization
The financial statements presented are those of Syndication which was incorporated under the name of Generation Acquisition Corporation (“Generation”) on March 25, 1999 under the laws of the State of Delaware. Effective October 13, 2000, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Organization between Generation and Life2K, Generation issued 10,387,750 shares of its outstanding common stock for 100% of the outstanding shares of Life2K. As part of the transaction, Life2K was merged with and into Generation, Life2K was dissolved and Generation changed its name to Syndication Net.com, Inc. and then to Syndication, Inc.
Change of control
At the time of the acquisition of Life2K, Syndication was essentially inactive, with no operations and minimal assets. Additionally, the exchange of Syndication’s common stock for the common stock of Life2K resulted in the former stockholders of Life2K obtaining control of Syndication. Accordingly, Life2K became the continuing entity for accounting purposes, and the transaction was accounted for as a recapitalization of Life2K with no adjustment to the basis of Life2K’s assets acquired or liabilities assumed. For legal purposes, Syndication was the surviving entity.
Estimates
The preparation of the financial statement in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” ("SAB 101"). SAB 101 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized :(1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectibility of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.
On December 17, 2003, the SEC staff released Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition. The staff updated and revised the existing revenue recognition in Topic 13, Revenue Recognition, to make its interpretive guidance consistent with current accounting guidance, principally EITF Issue No. 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables." Also, SAB 104 incorporates portions of the Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements - Frequently Asked Questions and Answers document that the SEC staff considered relevant and rescinds the remainder. The company's revenue recognition policies are consistent with this guidance; therefore, this guidance will not have an immediate impact on the company's consolidated financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. For financial statement purposes, property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 5 years.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (“SFAS 144”). The Statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. SFAS No. 144 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
Income Taxes
The Company has implemented the provisions on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (“SFAS 109”). SFAS 109 requires that income tax accounts be computed using the liability method. Deferred taxes are determined based upon the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial reporting and tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities given the provisions of currently enacted tax laws.
Comprehensive Income
The Company does not have any items of comprehensive income in any of the periods presented.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.

Net income (loss) per share
The following is a reconciliation of net income and share amounts used in the computation of income (loss) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2008:
| | Three months ended March 31, 2008 | |
Net income used in computing basic net income per share | | $ | 2,299,933 | |
Impact of assumed assumptions: | | | | |
Amortization of debt discount (interest expense) on convertible debentures | | | 47,514 | |
Impact of equity classified as liability: | | | | |
Gain on warrant liability and debt derivative marked to fair value | | | (2,726,165 | ) |
Net loss in computing diluted net income (loss) per share | | $ | (378,718 | ) |
The weighted average shares outstanding used in the basic net income per share computations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was 579,680,751 and 180,182,586, respectively. In determining the number of shares used in computing diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2007, common stock equivalents derived from shares issuable in conversion of the convertible debentures and exercise of warrants are not considered in the calculation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding because they would be anti-dilutive, thereby decreasing the net loss per share. The weighted average common shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 is 2,174,542,153 and 1,697,829,645, respectively. Fully diluted loss per share as of March 31, 2007 was $(0.00).
Stock based compensation
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 123R (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment" which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". Statement 123R supersedes APB opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and amends FASB Statement No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows". Generally, the approach in Statement 123R is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro-forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. This statement does not change the accounting guidance for share based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R). This statement does not address the accounting for employee share ownership plans, which are subject to AICPA Statement of Position 93-6, “Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans.” On April 14, 2005, the SEC amended the effective date of the provisions of this statement. The effect of this amendment by the SEC is that the Company had to comply with Statement 123R and use the Fair Value based method of accounting no later than the first quarter of 2006. The Company implemented SFAS No. 123(R) on January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method.
As of March 31, 2008, there were no outstanding employee stock options.
Research and Development
The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 2 ("SFAS 2"), "Accounting for Research and Development Costs. Under SFAS 2, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and development costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. The Company has not incurred research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 and from January 1, 2004 (date of inception as development stage) through March 31, 2008, respectively.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and short-term borrowings, as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount for the Series A convertible preferred stock approximate fair value.
Liquidity
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred net loss from operations of $5,526,716 from its inception as a development stage company on January 1, 2004 through March 31, 2008. The Company's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $2,026,041 as of March 31, 2008.
Advertising
The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred. Advertising expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $6,970 and $-0-.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company's derivative financial instruments consisted of embedded derivatives related to the Secured Convertible Debentures issued in 2005 and 2006. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion features, variable interest features, call options and default provisions. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments required that the Company record the derivatives and related warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the Note Agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value was recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each reporting date. If the fair value of the derivatives is higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company recorded a non-operating, non-cash charge. If the fair value of the derivatives is lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company recorded non-operating, non-cash income. Conversion-related derivatives were valued using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model. The derivatives were classified as long-term liabilities.

Recent accounting pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R),"Business Combinations" ("SFAS No. 141(R)"), which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in an acquiree, including the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited and the Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the adoption will have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51" ("SFAS No. 160"), which will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity within the consolidated balance sheets. SFAS No. 160 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited and the Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the adoption will have on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). The SFAS 161 requires companies to provide enhanced disclosures regarding derivative instruments and hedging activities and requires companies to better convey the purpose of derivative use in terms of the risks they intend to manage. Disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a company’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows are required. This Statement retains the same scope as SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 161 to have a material impact, if any, on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2008, the FASB issued a FASB Staff Position (FSP) on Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and Repurchase Financing Transactions (FSP FAS 140-3). This FSP addresses the issue of whether the transfer of financial assets and the repurchase financing transactions should be viewed as two separate transactions or as one linked transaction. The FSP includes a rebuttable presumption that the two transactions are linked unless the presumption can be overcome by meeting certain criteria. The FSP will be effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and will apply only to original transfers made after that date; early adoption will not be allowed.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Introduction
We are a consulting company formed to acquire controlling interests in or to participate in the creation of, and to provide financial, management and technical support to, development stage businesses. Our strategy is to integrate affiliated companies into a network and to actively develop the business strategies, operations and management teams of the affiliated entities.
It is the intent of our board of directors to develop and exploit all business opportunities to increase efficiencies between companies with which we may invest in or consult. In addition, we may acquire companies to be held as wholly owned subsidiaries.
We had one wholly owned subsidiary, Kemper Pressure Treated Forest Products, Inc. Kemper was engaged in the retail brokerage business of preservative treated lumber such as utility poles, bridge pilings, timber and guardrail posts. Kemper had one customer and as a result of limited revenue we elected to wind down Kemper's operations during the fourth quarter of 2003. We have changed our focus and growth efforts towards our consulting business and/or the acquisition of an operating development company.
In September 2006, we launched Syndicated Properties LLC (f/k/a SP & Associates LLC) ("SP") as a wholly owned subsidiary that will specialize in the real estate development business. Through SP, we intend to leverage our activities from the real estate appraisal business into real estate development.
On November 10, 2003, we entered into a Letter of Intent with Tri State Metro-Territories, LLC (Tri-State) to acquire substantially all of the assets of Tri-State. Brian Sorrentino, a major shareholder, director and an executive officer of our company, is a 10% shareholder in Tri State. Mark Solomon, who serves as a member of our Board of Directors and is a shareholder of our company also is a member of Tri-State. Dale Hill, is a shareholder of our company and is also a member of Tri-State. Tri State is in the business of selling franchised hair coloring salon units under the name of "HCX the haircolorxperts. The assets being negotiated by us include the exclusive right to the interest in the prototype HCX Salons located in Columbia Maryland and Washington, DC. On March 18, 2004, we entered into privately negotiated exchange agreements to exchange 355,000 restricted shares of its common stock for 8% of membership interests of Tri-State. In addition, from September 2004 through February 2006, we entered into two purchase agreements whereby the Company purchased 3% of membership interests of Tri-State for $115,000. During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the Company increased its investment in Tri State by $35,101, which equals an increase in the ownership of Tri State by approximately 1.69%, up from 13.75% to 15.44%.
The Company no longer intends to acquire the assets of Tri-State. All negotiations related to this effect have been discontinued.
Sy-Med Decompression Inc.
In April 2007 the company launched a wholly owned Subsidiary named “Sy-Med Decompression Inc.” Sy-Med Decompression is engaged in the business of providing a non-surgical treatment option for patients with back pain due to lumbar disc herniation, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, facet syndrome and spinal stenosis. Clinical studies have shown that spinal decompression treatments are more than 82% effective in relieving lower back pain and sciatica. The company’s business plan calls for a roll out of 10 Sy-Med Decompression Centers over the next 12 months. The roll out will include a combination of “Fee Per Click” partnership arrangements with current operating Chiropractic Centers and stand alone “doc in the box” centers that provide only decompression treatment services.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in this report and is qualified in its entirety by the foregoing.

Certain statements in this report, including statements of our expectations, intentions, plans and beliefs, including those contained in or implied by "Management's Discussion and Analysis" and the Notes to Financial Statements, are "forward-looking statements", within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), that are subject to certain events, risks and uncertainties that may be outside our control. The words “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “optimistic”, “intend”, “will”, and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include statements of management's plans and objectives for our future operations and statements of future economic performance, information regarding our expansion and possible results from expansion, our expected growth, our capital budget and future capital requirements, the availability of funds and our ability to meet future capital needs, the realization of our deferred tax assets, and the assumptions described in this report underlying such forward-looking statements. Actual results and developments could differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such statements due to a number of factors, including, without limitation, those described in the context of such forward-looking statements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
During the preparation of the financial statements Management is required to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, Management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to sales, returns, pricing concessions, bad debts, inventories, investments, fixed assets, intangible assets, income taxes and other contingencies. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under current conditions. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
In response to the SEC’s Release No. 33-8040, “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policy,” Management identified the most critical accounting principals upon which its financial status depends. Management determined that those critical accounting principles are related to the use of estimates, inventory valuation, revenue recognition, income tax and impairment of intangibles and other long-lived assets. Management presents these accounting policies in the relevant sections in this management’s discussion and analysis, including the Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements discussed below.
Revenue Recognition. Management recognizes sales when the revenue is realized or realizable, and has been earned, in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements”.
Accounts Receivable, Trade and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. Our business operations are conducted in the United States. During the normal course of business, The Company extends unsecured credit to its customers. There is a balance of $9,013 for accounts receivable, trade outstanding at March 31, 2008. Management reviews accounts receivable on a regular basis to determine if the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. An estimate for doubtful accounts is recorded when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Due to the uncertainty collectability of Sy-Med revenue, all revenue is fully reserved at the time of services.
Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the weighted average method. The Company reviews its inventory on a regular basis for possible obsolete goods or to determine if any reserves are necessary for potential obsolescence. As of March 31, 2008, the Company has determined that no reserves are necessary.
Derivative Financial Instruments. The Company's derivative financial instruments consisted of embedded derivatives related to the Secured Convertible Debentures issued in 2005 and 2006. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion features, variable interest features, call options and default provisions. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments required that the Company record the derivatives and related warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the Note Agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value was recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each reporting date. If the fair value of the derivatives is higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company recorded a non-operating, non-cash charge. If the fair value of the derivatives is lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company recorded non-operating, non-cash income. Conversion-related derivatives were valued using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model. The derivatives were classified as long-term liabilities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. The Company has not entered into any financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. The Company has not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to The Company’s shares and classified as shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in The Company’s financial statements. Furthermore, The Company does not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. The Company does not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to the Company or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with The Company.
Inflation. Management believes that inflation has not had a material effect on its operations to date.
Income Taxes. Management has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (SFAS 109). SFAS 109 requires the recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between income tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Provision for income taxes consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes. The charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items, which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probably that taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it related to items credited or charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they related to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Income / Loss
We had net income (loss) of $2,299,933 and $(444,399) for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The net income for the three months ended reflects a gain on change in our derivative and warrant liabilities of $2,726,165 compared to a loss of $230,358 the same period prior year. Losses from operations were $269,859 and $113,133 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The losses are also a function of having little or no revenues for the periods.
Revenue
We recorded revenues of $20,213 and $ -0- for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. This result is a function of the development stage of the Company and the lack of business during the periods. . The revenues were earned in the course of business of SyMed Decompression Inc.
Cost of Goods Sold
Inasmuch as there were no goods sold during the three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, we incurred no cost of goods sold.
Gain/loss on change in derivative and warrant liability
For the three months ended March 31, 2008, we have a gain in change in derivative and warrant liability of $2,726,165 as compared to a loss of $230,358 from the prior year.
Expenses
Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $283,359 and $113,133, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash flows used by operating activities were $224,999 and $125,294 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. This was primarily attributable to losses from operations due to low level of revenues while we develop our businesses.
Net cash flows used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $44,661 and $-0-, respectively, which resulted from our equipment purchased for our Sy-Med business.
Net cash flows provided by financing activities were $106,755 and $-0- for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which resulted from additional borrowings.
Overall, we have funded most of our cash needs from inception through March 31, 2008 with proceeds from shareholder loans, issuances of convertible debentures and capital contributions.
On March 31, 2008, we had cash of $33,009 on hand. We anticipate raising funds through an equity or debt offering or with a strategic partner in order to enable us to continue operations.
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, the Company has not entered into any new transactions using derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments nor held any marketable equity securities of publicly traded companies. However, our derivative and warrant liabilities are valued based on our underlying stock price and are adjusted each reporting period to their fair values.
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2008, the Company has no material purchases of investments, except for equipment used in our Sy-Med business.
On December 30, 2005, the Company, in order to obtain alternative funding for its ongoing operations of the Company, entered into a Termination Agreement with Cornell Capital Partners, LP (the "Investor") pursuant to which the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement entered between the Company and the Investor dated June 2004 was terminated. To that end, on December 30th 2006, the company then executed a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") for the sale of (i) $1,150,000 in secured convertible debentures (the "Debentures") and (ii) stock purchase warrants (the "Warrants") to buy 120,000,000 shares of our common stock. On December 30, 2006, the company issued $300,000 of the $1,150,000 debenture.
The debentures bear interest at 12 percent, mature three years from the date of issuance, and are convertible into the Company's common stock, at a conversion price equal to the lower of (i) $0.0132 or (ii) 85% of the lowest weighted average price during the 30 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date.
In accordance with EITF-00-19 and SFAS 150, and because there is no explicit limit on the number of shares that are to be delivered upon exercise of the conversion feature, the Company is not able to assert that it will have sufficient authorized and unissued shares to settle the conversion option. As a result, the conversion feature will be accounted for as a derivative liability, with the fair value recorded in earnings each period. On February 6, 2006 the Company issued an additional $700,000 of the $1,150,000 debenture and on June 8, 2006 the Company issued the final $150,000 of the $1,150,000 debentures.
Our future revenues and profits, if any, will depend upon various factors, including the following:
Whether we will be able to effectively evaluate the overall quality and industry expertise of potential acquisition candidates; whether we will have the funds to provide seed capital and mezzanine financing to brick-and-mortar, e-commerce and Internet-related companies; and whether we can develop and implement business models that will enable growth companies to develop.
We may not be able to effect any acquisitions of or investments in development stage companies if we are unable to secure sufficient funds to finance our proposed acquisitions costs. We expect that our current cash and cash equivalents will allow us to continue our current operation for six months. If we are unable to generate additional revenues or secure financings, we may be forced to cease or curtail operations.
We intend for our management team to identify companies that are positioned to succeed and to assist those companies with financial, managerial and technical support. Over the next 12 months, we intend to increase revenue and gross profit margin by focusing and expanding its consulting services and seeking acquisition candidates. It is management's belief that potential acquisition targets can be better identified and assessed for risk if we first become involved with these candidates on a consulting capacity. Our strategy is to integrate affiliated companies into a network and to actively develop the business strategies, operations and management teams of the affiliated entities.
We do not foresee any significant changes in the number of our employees over the next twelve months except in the event we finalize an acquisition. We have not paid dividends on our common stock, and intend to reinvest our earnings to support our working capital and expansion requirements. We intend to continue to utilize our earnings in the development and expansion of the business and do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. It is the belief of management that as we move toward an active trading status the ability to raise capital by stock issuance to effect our business plan is enhanced.
We do not expect to sell any manufacturing facilities or significant equipment over the next twelve months except within the demands of potential acquisitions that we may pursue.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on us.
ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
In the normal course of business, operations of the Company are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates. These fluctuations can vary the costs of financing and investing yields. During the first three months of 2008, the Company has not utilized any financing arrangements or investing arrangements and is not currently subject to any market risk.
ITEM 4(A) - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively) of the Company have concluded, based on their evaluation as of March 31, 2008, that the design and operation of the Company's "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act")) are, to the best of their knowledge, not yet effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted by the Company under the Exchange Act is accumulated, recorded, processed, summarized and reported to the management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding whether or not disclosure is required.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, there were no changes in the internal controls of the Company over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal controls of the Company over financial reporting.
ITEM 4(A)T - INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
(a) The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not yet effective as of March 31, 2008. See the discussion under Item 4(A) above.
(b) This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
(c) There were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting, known to the chief executive officer or the chief financial officer that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
