American Life Holding Company, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2010 & 2009 (Both unaudited)
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In 2010 and 2009, the unaudited financial statements include the accounts of American Life Holding Company Inc. (“ACH”).
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. As a result of the discontinuation and dissolution of the Company’s subsidiary, the Company currently has no operations and is considered a “shell company” under Federal securities laws. The company intends to acquire assets or shares of an entity actively engaged in a business generating revenues in exchange for the Company’s securities.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash
The Company considers cash on hand, deposits in banks, certificates of deposit and investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes.”Under the asset and liability method of FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under FASB ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.
Income Per Share
Basic EPS is calculated as income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated using the “if converted” method for convertible securities and the “treasury stock” method for options and warrants. For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 all securities convertible into common shares were anti-dilutive.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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.
Going Concern
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet identified ongoing operations and is considered a “shell” company. The lack of cash, losses, negative working capital, and shareholders deficit raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, capital resources. Management plans to identify an industry in which to invest and begin operating within this “shell” company. Management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.

Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2010 & 2009 (Both unaudited)
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually obtain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 – NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“ASC105”) (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162) reorganized by topic existing accounting and reporting guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) into a single source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to be applied by nongovernmental entities. All guidance contained in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) carries an equal level of authority. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Accordingly, all other accounting literature will be deemed “non-authoritative”. ASC 105 is effective on a prospective basis for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company has implemented the guidance included in ASC 105 as of July 1, 2009. The implementation of this guidance changed the Company’s references to GAAP authoritative guidance but did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
ASC 855. Subsequent Events (“ASC 855”) (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events) includes guidance that was issued by the FASB in May 2009, and is consistent with current auditing standards in defining a subsequent event. Additionally, the guidance provides for disclosure regarding the existence and timing of a company’s evaluation of its subsequent events. ASC 855 defines two types of subsequent events, “recognized” and “non-recognized” Recognized subsequent events provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet and are required to be reflected in the financial statements. Non-recognized subsequent events provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date and, therefore, are not required to be reflected in the financial statements. However, certain non-recognized subsequent events may require disclos ure to prevent the financial statements from being misleading. This guidance was effective prospectively for interim or annual financial periods after June 15, 2009. The Company implemented the guidance in ASC 855 as of April 1, 2009. The effect of implementing this guidance was not material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-05,”Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value,” (“ASU 2009-05”). ASU 2009-05 provides guidance on measuring the fair value of liabilities and is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after its issuance. The Company’s adoption of ASU 2009-05 did not have an effect on its disclosure of the fair value of its liabilities.
In September 2009, the FASB issued ASC update No. 2009-12, Fair value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic820): Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or its Equivalent) (“ASC Update No. 2009-12”). This update sets forth guidance on using the net asset value per share provided by an investee to estimate the fair value of an alternative investment. The amendments in this update are effective for interim and annual periods after December 15, 2009. The implementation of ASC 2009-12 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 166, Accounting for Transfer of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (“Statement No. 166”). Statement No.166 revises FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Extinguishment of Liabilities a replacement of FASB Statement 125 (“Statement No. 140”) and requires additional disclosures about transfer of financial assets. Although Statement No. 166 has not been incorporated into the Codification, in accordance with ASC 105, the standard shall remain authoritative until it is integrated. The Company does not expect Statement No. 166 will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2010 & 2009 (Both unaudited)
In June 2009, FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (“Statement No. 167”). Statement No. 167 amends FASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities an interpretation of ARB No. 51 (“FIN 46R”) to require an analysis to determine whether a company has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. Statement No. 167 is effective as of the beginning of the first annual period that begins after November 15, 2009. Although Statement No. 167 has not been incorporated into the Codification, in accordance with ASC 105, the standard shall remain authoritative until it is integrated. The Company does not expect the adoption of Statement No. 167 to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
In October 2009, the FASB issued changes to revenue recognition for multiple-deliverable arrangements. The changes become effective January 1, 2011. As the Company has no such arrangements, the Company has determined that these changes will have no impact of its financial statements.
NOTE 4 – STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS SUPPLEMENTARY DISCLOSURE
There was no interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. No income taxes were paid in any period presented.
NOTE 5 – INCOME TAXES
Income tax benefit (expense) attributable to income (loss) before income taxes differed from the amounts computed by applying the United States of America federal tax rate of 34% to income (loss) before income taxes as a result of the following:

Deferred taxes are determined between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates, which are expected to be in effect when these differences reverse.
Management continuously estimates the realizability of its deferred tax assets based on its assessment of the sufficiency of future revenue streams. Due to the “shell” status of the Company, future revenue streams are uncertain. Additionally, the IRS imposes limitations on the use of loss carry forwards if the Company incurs a change in control.
The Company has not taken a tax position that, if challenged, would have a material effect on the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, or during the prior three years applicable under FASB ASC 740. We did not recognize any adjustment to the liability for uncertain tax position and therefore did not record any adjustment to the beginning balance of accumulated deficit on the consolidated balance sheet. The 2009 tax return has not been filed or extended timely.
NOTE 6 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share, of which 391,449 shares are issued and outstanding and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share, of which 250,000 shares have been designated as Series A Preferred Stock. The remaining 4,750,000 shares of preferred stock remain without designation.
The Company has outstanding warrants to employees and non-employees allowing the purchase of stock at a price of $10.00 per share. None of the 49,500 non-employee warrants in 2010 or the 53,850 non-employee warrants or the 1,650 employee warrants in 2009, all of whose exercise price exceeded market value as of the date of the grant, have been exercised.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. |
Overview
Historically and through fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 our operations consisted of those of our recently dissolved American LAC subsidiary. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 we discontinued those operations and in September 2008 dissolved American LAC, and we are now considered a "shell company" under Federal securities laws. Our business plan is to seek to acquire assets or shares of an entity actively engaged in business which generates revenues in exchange for our securities. 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 be restrictive of our virtually unlimited 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 which have recently commenced operations, or which 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 and/or partially-owned subsidiaries in various businesses or acquire existing businesses as subsidiaries. We anticipate that the selection of a business opportunity in which to participate will be complex and subject to significant risk. 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. These perceived benefits may include facilitating or improving the terms on which additional equity financing 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 such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex.
The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by, or under the supervision of, Mr. Manuel Losada, our President, who may not be considered a professional business analyst. Mr. Losada will be the primary company representative involved in the search, review and negotiation with potential acquisition or merger candidates. We intend to concentrate on identifying preliminary prospective business opportunities which may be brought to our attention through present associations of our officers and directors and legal counsel or by our shareholders. In analyzing prospective business opportunities, we will consider such matters as:
| • | 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 which may be available and the depth of that management; |
| • | the potential for further research, development, or exploration; |
| • | specific risk factors not now foreseeable but which then may 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. |
11
We will not acquire or merge with any company for which audited financial statements cannot be obtained within the time period prescribed by applicable rules of the SEC which is presently four business days from the closing date of the transaction. This requirement for readily available audited financial statement may prevent us from undertaking a transaction with a potential candidate which might otherwise be beneficial to our shareholders.
We will not restrict our search for any specific kind of company, but may acquire a venture which is in its preliminary or development stage, which is engaged in operations, or in essentially any stage of its corporate life. It is impossible to predict at this time the status of any business in which we may become engaged, in that such business may need to seek additional capital, may desire to have its shares publicly traded, or may seek other perceived advantages which we may offer. However, we do not intend to obtain funds in one or more private placements to finance the operation of any acquired business opportunity until such time as we have successfully consummated such a merger or acquisition. We anticipate that we will incur nominal expenses in the implementation of our business plan which will be funded from our current working capital, to the extent available, or from borrowings from related parties or others.
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. We may also acquire stock or assets of an existing business. Upon consummation of a transaction, it is probable that our present management and shareholders will not retain control of our company. 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 or may sell their stock. Any and all such sales will be undertaken in transactions designed to be in compliance with applicable federal and applicable state securities laws.
We anticipate that any securities issued in any such transaction would be issued in reliance upon exemption from registration under applicable federal and state securities laws. In some circumstances, however, as a negotiated element of a transaction, we may agree to register all or a part of such securities immediately after the transaction is consummated or at specified times thereafter. If such registration occurs, of which there can be no assurance, it will be undertaken by the surviving entity after we have successfully consummated a merger or acquisition and we are no longer considered a "shell" company. Until such time as this occurs, we do not intend to seek registration of any additional securities. The issuance of substantial additional securities and their potential sale into any trading market which may develop in our securities may have a depressive effect on the value of our securities. While we are engaged in the search for a suitable candidate for a business combination, we will continue to incur general operating expenses associated with overhead, salaries and fees, including accounting, audit and legal fees, associated with our reporting requirements under federal securities laws. We will also incur expenses associated with our search for a suitable candidate for a business combination.
Results of Operations
As set forth above, our historical operations consisted of those of our recently dissolved subsidiary American LAC. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 we discontinued the operations of, and in September 2008 dissolved, our American LAC subsidiary.
There were no revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2010 or during the three months ended March 31, 2009.
During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 we reported general expenses of $650 and $18,387, respectively. General expenses are costs associated with audit, legal, transfer agent, edgarizing and other professional fees associated with our reporting requirements under Federal securities laws. These expenses are relatively consistent from period to period. We are now considered a "shell company" under federal securities laws and our business plan is to seek to acquire assets or shares of an entity actively engaged in business which generates revenues in exchange for our securities. While we are engaged in the search for a suitable candidate for a business combination, we will continue to incur accounting, audit and legal fees, and transfer agent fees associated with our reporting requirements under Federal securities laws. We anticipate during 2010 our operating expenses will be no more than approximately $35,000. We will also incur expenses associated with our search for a suitable candidate for a business combination. We are not able at this time to quantify the amount of such expenses, but intend to keep them to a minimum given our limited cash resources.

Liquidity and capital resources
Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. At March 31, 2010 we had cash on hand of $ 0 and working capital of $ 0, as compared to cash on hand of $33,034 and working capital of $28,875 at March 31, 2009. Our former principal shareholder, Dr. Bishop, had extended us a line of credit until August 30, 2009 in the amount of $100,000 of which no amount is outstanding as of March 31, 2009. The line of credit was terminated in September 2009 in connection with Dr. Bishop’s private sale of his shares to a third party.
Shareholder advances to the Company will fund operating expenses and our search for a suitable business partner through December 31, 2010.
Net cash used in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $0. The Company’s net loss of $650 was offset by an increase of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $650. Net cash used for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $14,233. During the period we used cash to fund our net loss of $18,387 offset by an increase of accounts payable of $4,154.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to identify and close a business combination with an operating entity. We have not yet identified any such opportunities, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to identify any appropriate business opportunities, or, if identified, that we will be able to close a transaction which is inevitably beneficial to our shareholders. In addition, as it is likely that if we enter into a business combination the structure of the transaction will be such that the approval of our shareholders is not necessary before the transaction is closed. As such, our shareholders are relying entirely upon the judgment of our management in structuring a transaction which provides some benefit to our shareholders.
Accounting Pronouncements
ASC 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“ASC105”) (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162) reorganized by topic existing accounting and reporting guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) into a single source of authoritative generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to be applied by nongovernmental entities. All guidance contained in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) carries an equal level of authority. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Accordingly, all other accounting literature will be deemed “non-authoritative”. ASC 105 is effective on a prospective basis for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company has implemented the guidance included in ASC 105 as of July 1, 2009. The implementation of this guidance changed the Company’s references to GAAP authoritative guidance but did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
ASC 855. Subsequent Events (“ASC 855”) (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events) includes guidance that was issued by the FASB in May 2009, and is consistent with current auditing standards in defining a subsequent event. Additionally, the guidance provides for disclosure regarding the existence and timing of a company’s evaluation of its subsequent events. ASC 855 defines two types of subsequent events, “recognized” and “non-recognized” Recognized subsequent events provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet and are required to be reflected in the financial statements. Non-recognized subsequent events provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after that date and, therefore, are not required to be reflected in the financial statements. However, certain non-recognized subsequent events may require disclosure to prevent the financial statements from being misleading. This guidance was effective prospectively for interim or annual financial periods after June 15, 2009. The Company implemented the guidance in ASC 855 as of April 1, 2009. The effect of implementing this guidance was not material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-05,”Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value,” (“ASU 2009-05”). ASU 2009-05 provides guidance on measuring the fair value of liabilities and is effective for the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after its issuance. The Company’s adoption of ASU 2009-05 did not have an effect on its disclosure of the fair value of its liabilities.
13
In September 2009, the FASB issued ASC update No. 2009-12, Fair value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic820): Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or its Equivalent) (“ASC Update No. 2009-12”). This update sets forth guidance on using the net asset value per share provided by an investee to estimate the fair value of an alternative investment. The amendments in this update are effective for interim and annual periods after December 15, 2009. The implementation of ASC 2009-12 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 166, Accounting for Transfer of Financial Assets an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (“Statement No. 166”). Statement No.166 revises FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Extinguishment of Liabilities a replacement of FASB Statement 125 (“Statement No. 140”) and requires additional disclosures about transfer of financial assets. Although Statement No. 166 has not been incorporated into the Codification, in accordance with ASC 105, the standard shall remain authoritative until it is integrated. The Company does not expect Statement No. 166 will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
In June 2009, FASB issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (“Statement No. 167”). Statement No. 167 amends FASB Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities an interpretation of ARB No. 51 (“FIN 46R”) to require an analysis to determine whether a company has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. Statement No. 167 is effective as of the beginning of the first annual period that begins after November 15, 2009. Although Statement No. 167 has not been incorporated into the Codification, in accordance with ASC 105, the standard shall remain authoritative until it is integrated. The Company does not expect the adoption of Statement No. 167 to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
In October 2009, the FASB issued changes to revenue recognition for multiple-deliverable arrangements. The changes become effective January 1, 2011. As the Company has no such arrangements, the Company has determined that these changes will have no impact of its financial statements.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. |

Item 4T. | Controls and Procedures. |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures" as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Based on his evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, ou r Chief Executive Officer who also serves as our principal financial and accounting officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective such that the information relating to our company, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a result of a material weakness in our disclosure controls and procedures. The material weakness identified was that our accounting resources are not adequate to allow sufficient time to (i) perform a review of the supporting financial statement disclosure schedules independent of the preparer and (ii) adequately prepare for our prior year annual audit. Inadequate level s of accounting personnel have also caused us difficulty in filing our annual reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission within the required time frame. Due to this material weakness, in preparing our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 we performed additional analysis and other post close procedures to ensure that such financial statements were stated fairly in all material respects in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We do not expect our disclosure controls and procedures to be effective until such time as we complete an acquisition of an operating company and even then there are no assurances that our disclosure controls and procedures will be adequate in future periods.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
