ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
In this section, "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation," references to "we," "us," "our," and "ours" refer to Artcraft V, Inc. and its subsidiary.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ significantly from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
Critical Accounting Policies:
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on other various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis from making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Overview:
We operate our business through our wholly owned subsidiary, Top Interest International Limited, which operates our "188Info" service. 188Info provides a number of services including information search engine, online web application and image designing, digital network service, online market research, online promotion and advertising services, and query searches for both individuals and businesses.
188Info has a strong reputation among Shenzhen residents. Many Shenzhen residents use 188Info to publish and search for information.
188Info enjoys several competitive advantages including innovative information categorization, sophisticated product and service categorization. For example, 188Info's categories include career services, real estate, lodging accommodations, transportation, computer networking, communications electronics, furniture, gifts and apparel, printing presses, and other businesses. Information is presented in a variety of ways to enhance readability.
188Info has succeeded in becoming one of the major information websites for Chinese in a relatively short time period. 188Info has achieved its success on the basis of a modest initial investment.
We are also completing a website to be utilized in various real estate services such as relocation, listings of real estate sales or rentals, mortgage information and other real estate related information or content. We have not spent any money for research and development.
Plan of Operation:
We intend to grow through internal development and strategic alliances. Because of uncertainties surrounding our growth and limited operating history, we anticipate incurring losses in the foreseeable future. We have already incurred significant net losses, with a net loss of $1,781 in 2005 and a net loss of $92,812 in 2006 and a net loss of $218,495 in 2007. The difference was due to an increase in operating expenses, and as we attempt to grow are business, these expenses will certainly increase. Also, we may incur substantial net losses in the future due to the relatively high risk associated with our revenue and the high level of planned operating and capital expenditures, including sales and marketing costs, personnel hires, and product development. Also, maintaining and further expanding our brand is critical to our ability to expand our user base and our revenues. We believe that the importance of brand recognition will increase as the number of Internet users in China grows. In order to attract and retain Internet users, advertisers, subscribers, and wireless and e-commerce customers, we may need to substantially increase our expenditures for creating and maintaining brand loyalty. If our revenues do not increase proportionately, our results of operations and liquidity will suffer. For some periods, we may have net profits; however, we may not sustain profitability over time.
Accordingly, our ability to achieve our business objectives is contingent upon our success in raising additional capital until adequate revenues are realized from operations. During the next twelve months, we expect to take the following steps in connection with the expansion of our business and the continuance of our operations:
1) Initiate substantive construction of our corporate website. We currently have constructed a comprehensive and well designed site webpage at www.188info.com which outlines the products and services that we offer and such website includes additional sub-pages, our phone and email information, navigational tools and a more detailed description of our products and services. 188 infonet features a wide range of Web advertisement. Web advertising can reach any part of the world equally fast, which is an impossible feat for conventional advertisement. Our multimedia presentation is rich in audio, and video. Our web content is interactive by nature. Current programs such as Flash, Shockwave provide vivid, animated interaction.
The next stage of web expansion will focus on promoting 188 infonet and expand its influence into people’s daily activities. Including a plan to discuss with various industries consultants to assist us, as well as companies within the industry to partner with; further promote of 188Info and develop related websites to attract a younger demographic and achieve one million hits on a daily basis; Establish a community information service in Shenzhen by cooperating with communities, Such as publish yellow pages in Shenzhen.
Incorporation of these services could run from $2,500 to $100,000 depending upon the level of detail in these services and the nature of the partnerships reached. If we reach partnerships whereby we incorporate other company’s services into our site and co-brand with partners, programming will be far simpler and thereby cheaper than if we have to offer users the ability to design their own service requests.
Further website expansion in 2008 will be in various phases subject to revenue and capital availability.
2) We are currently identifying funding options to raise additional capital for the company and key geographic markets to target during our first phase of operations. We intend to seek funding options such as equity or debt financing. However, currently we have had no preliminary discussions with any group regarding such financing. As we grow and the overall economic climate improves, we expect to be in a better position to raise outside capital later. The only associated costs for such funding may be the due diligence costs or expenses associated with putting a financing deal together. The costs would be as much as 5%-6% of the funding raised, but any such fees would be taken out of the closing of the funding transaction. Searching for capital will likely be an ongoing process even if we raise an initial amount of funds. The only potential expenses would be if we decide to pay for outside research or if business trips are required.
3) Hire and train additional staff, including management, marketing staff, and administrative personnel; we anticipate hiring at a minimum 10 employees in the next twelve months. The number of employees hired will be dependent upon a variety of factors including our progress in implementing our business plan and available capital. Ultimately, we expect to require approximately $10,000 per month for payroll. We will need additional capital to meet these expenses and will scale down accordingly until we are in such a position. The hiring of employees will be an ongoing process during the company’s existence.
We intend to grow through internal development and strategic alliances. Because of uncertainties surrounding our growth and strong competition, we anticipate incurring losses in the foreseeable future. Our ability to achieve our business objectives is contingent upon its success in raising additional capital until adequate revenues are realized from operations.
Employees
As of June 30, 2008, we have 10 full time employees located in China. We intend to hire and train additional staff, including management, marketing staff, and administrative personnel. We anticipate hiring a minimum of 10 employees in the next twelve months. The number of employees hired will depend on a variety of factors including our progress in implementing our business plan and available capital. Ultimately, we expect to require approximately $10,000 per month for payroll. We will need additional capital to meet these expenses and will scale down accordingly until we are in such a position. The hiring of employees will be an ongoing process during the Company's existence.

The following table presents certain consolidated statement of operations information for the three month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. The discussion following the table is based on these results. Certain columns may not add due to rounding.

Net Revenue
Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2008 totaled $9,003 compared to $6,781 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $2,222 or approximately 33%. In 2008, due to marketing department’s hard working and technical department’s development, our website was improved with more categories and information available to our users.
Operating Expense
General and administrative expenses for the three month periods ended June 30, 2008 totaled $22,606 or approximately 251% of net revenue compared to $37,423 or approximately 552% of net revenue for the three month periods ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in operating expense of $14,817 or approximately 40% was due to lower operation fees related to SEC filing in the U.S. stock market.
Income (Loss) from Operations
Loss from operations for the three month periods ended June 30, 2008 totaled $13,604 or approximately 151% of net revenue compared to $30,643 or approximately 452% of net revenue for the three month periods ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of $17,039 or approximately 56%. The decrease in loss from operations was primarily due to a decrease in expenses and an increase in revenue as stated above.
Net Income (Loss)
Net loss for the three month periods ended June 30, 2008 totaled $13,737 compared to $30,280 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of $16,543 or approximately 55%. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to the reasons described above.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007
The following table presents certain consolidated statement of operations information for the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. The discussion following the table is based on these results. Certain columns may not add due to rounding.
Six months ended | Six months ended | ||||||||
June 30, 2008 | June 30, 2007 | ||||||||

Net Revenue
Net sales for the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 totaled $16,392 compared to $11,564 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $4,828, or approximately 42%. The increase was due to the increase in the number of new clients.
Operating Expense
General and administrative expenses for the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 totaled $38,776 or approximately 237% of net revenue compared to $61,107 or approximately 528% of net revenue for the six month periods ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in operating expense of $22,331 or approximately 37% was due to lower operation fees related to SEC filings in the U.S. stock markets.
Income (Loss) from Operations
Loss from operations for the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 totaled $22,384 or approximately 137% of net revenue compared to $49,544 or approximately 428% of net revenue for the six month periods ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of $27,160 or approximately 55%. The decrease in loss from operations was primarily due to the decrease in expenses and increase in revenue as stated above.
Net Income (Loss)
Net loss for the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 totaled $22,625 compared to $46,368 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of $23,743 or approximately 51%. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to the reasons described above.
LIQUIDTY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash has historically been generated from operations. Operations and liquidity needs are funded primarily through cash flows from operations and short-term borrowings. Cash and cash equivalents were $115,495 at June 30, 2008 and current assets totaled $115,787 at June 30, 2008. The Company's total current liabilities were $395,802 at June 30, 2008. Working capital at June 30, 2008 was $(280,015). During the six month periods ended June 30, 2008, net cash used in operating activities was $907.
We will continue to evaluate alternative sources of capital to meet our growth requirements, including other asset or debt financing, issuing equity securities and entering into other financing arrangements. There can be no assurance, however, that any of the contemplated financing arrangements described herein will be available and, if available, can be obtained on terms favorable to us.
Our operations and short term financing does not currently meet our cash needs. We believe we will be able to generate revenues from sales and raise capital through private placement offerings of its equity securities to provide the necessary cash flow to meet anticipated working capital requirements. Our actual working capital needs for the long and short term will depend upon numerous factors, including our operating results, competition, and the availability of credit facilities, none of which can be predicted with certainty. Our future expansion will depend on operating results and will be limited by its ability to enter into financings and raise capital.
Working Capital Requirements
Historically operations and short term financing have been sufficient to meet our cash needs. We believe that we will be able to generate revenues from sales and raise capital through private placement offerings of its equity securities to provide the necessary cash flow to meet anticipated working capital requirements. However, our actual working capital needs for the long and short term will depend upon numerous factors, including operating results, competition, and the availability of credit facilities, none of which can be predicted with certainty. Future expansion will be limited by the availability of financing products and raising capital.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have never entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements and have never established any special purpose entities. We have not guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities or entered into any options on non-financial assets.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
The Company is subject to certain market risks, including changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. The Company does not undertake any specific actions to limit those exposures.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
The Company procures products from domestic sources with operations located overseas. As such, its financial results could be indirectly affected by the weakening of the dollar. If that were to occur, and if it were material enough in movement, the financial results of the Company could be affected, but not immediately because the Company has entered into contracts with these vendors which establish product pricing levels for up to one year. Management believes these contracts provide a sufficient amount of time to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates.
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Accounting Officer (“CAO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CAO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CAO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of consolidated financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
The Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CAO, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures or the Company’s internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of the controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2008.
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 quarterly report.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 – ORGANIZATION
Artcraft V, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 7, 2004.

Note 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
As of June 30, 2008, the accounts of Shenzhen were maintained, and its financial statements were expressed in CNY. Such financial statements were translated into U.S. Dollars (USD) in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounts Standards (“SFAS”) No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation,” with the CNY as the functional currency. According to the Statement, all assets and liabilities were translated at the current exchange rate, stockholder’s equity are translated at the historical rates and income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” as a component of shareholders’ equity.
Use of 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.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to substantial risks from, among other things, intense competition associated with the industry in general, other risks associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer requirements, limited operating history, foreign currency exchange rates and the volatility of public markets.
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be
estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.
Property, Plant & Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives of:

Long-Lived Assets
Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS 144”), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of,” and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, “Reporting the Results of Operations for a Disposal of a Segment of a Business.” The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used in accordance with SFAS 144. SFAS 144 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair market value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review, the Company believes that, as of June 30, 2008 there were no significant impairments of its long-lived assets.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Statement of financial accounting standard No. 107, Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments.
The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position for current assets and current liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff accounting bulletin (SAB) 104. Revenue from marketing services through World Wide Web is recognized when services are rendered. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as deferred revenue. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31,2007, deferred revenue was $11,453 and $3,313 respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. SFAS No. 123 prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based compensation plans, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights. SFAS No. 123 requires compensation expense to be recorded (i) using the new fair value method or (ii) using the existing accounting rules prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for stock issued to employees” (APB 25) and related interpretations with proforma disclosure of what net income and earnings per share would have been had the Company adopted the new fair value method. The Company uses the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB 25 and has opted for the disclosure provisions of SFAS No.123. During the six month periods ended June 30, 2008, the company did not grant or issue any option or warrant.
Advertising
Advertising expenses consist primarily of costs of promotion for corporate image and product marketing and costs of direct advertising. The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. The company did not incur any advertising expense during the six month ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Earnings (loss) per share is calculated in accordance with the Statement of financial accounting standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), “Earnings per share”. SFAS No. 128 superseded Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.15 (APB 15). Net income (loss) per share for all periods presented has been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 128. Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by
applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Basic and diluted loss per share were $0.002 and $0.004 for the six month ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 respectively.
Statement of Cash Flows
In accordance with SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” cash flows from the Company’s operations is based upon the local currencies. As a result, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance sheet.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are cash, accounts receivable and other receivables arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. The Company has a diversified customer base. The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.
Segment Reporting
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 (“SFAS 131”), “Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company. SFAS 131 has no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company consists of one reportable business segment. All revenue is from customers in People’s Republic of China. All of the Company’s assets are located in People’s Republic of China.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 157 ‘Fair Value Measurements’. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this Statement will change current practice. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 158 ‘Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and

132(R)’ This Statement improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the over funded or under funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This Statement also improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. An employer with publicly traded equity securities is required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. An employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after June 15, 2007. However, an employer without publicly traded equity securities is required to disclose the following information in the notes to financial statements for a fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006, but before June 16, 2007, unless it has applied the recognition provisions of this Statement in preparing those financial statements:
a. A brief description of the provisions of this Statement
b. The date that adoption is required
c. The date the employer plans to adopt the recognition provisions of this Statement, if earlier.
The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.
In February 2007, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted subject to specific requirements outlined in the new Statement. Therefore, calendar-year companies may be able to adopt FAS 159 for their first quarter 2007 financial statements.
The new Statement allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. If a company elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that item's fair value in subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings. FAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison between entities that elect different measurement attributes for similar assets and liabilities.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”. This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”. This Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. This Statement retains the
fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This Statement also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after Company’s fiscal year beginning October 1, 2009. While the Company has not yet evaluated this statement for the impact, if any, that SFAS No. 141(R) will have on its consolidated financial statements, the Company will be required to expense costs related to any acquisitions after September 30, 2009.

Note 11– GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of the company as a going concern. However, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $336,590 and $313,965 as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 including losses of $218,495 and $92,812 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006. The Company’s current liabilities exceed its current assets by $280,015 and $260,582 as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. In view of the matters described above, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing and succeed in its future operations, The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management has taken the following steps to revise its operating and financial requirements, which it believes are sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue as a going concern. Management devoted considerable effort from inception through the six month ended June 30, 2008, towards obtaining additional equity and management of accrued expenses and accounts payable.
Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
