ITEM 1. BUSINESS
We are currently not conducting any business and have had no operating revenues since the sale of our wholly owned subsidiary.
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
Prior to October 2, 2006, Proguard Acquisition, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Proguard Protection Services, Inc. provided professional protection to clients through installation and monitoring of fire, intrusion and envirionmental security systems. Proguard Acquisition was incorporated in Florida in June 2004.
Proguard Protection was incorporated in Colorado on May 24, 2000. On July 1, 2004, the shareholders of Proguard Protection cancelled their 1,000,000 shares of outstanding Proguard Protection no par value common stock and received 395,000 shares of Proguard Acquisition's restricted $0.001 par value common stock. Proguard Acquisition acquired 100 shares of the no par value common stock of Proguard Protection for $100 on July 1, 2004 pursuant to an oral agreement. Effective July 1, 2004, Proguard Protection became a wholly owned subsidiary of Proguard Acquisition. Prior to July 1, 2004, Proguard Protection provided professional protection to clients through installation and monitoring of fire, intrusion and environmental security systems and continues to pursue the same business since its acquisition by Proguard Acquisition.
On October 2, 2006, we entered into a Common Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement with Corrections Systems International, Inc., a privately held Florida corporation in which CSII agreed to purchase and Proguard Acquisition agreed to sell all of the issued and outstanding common stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Proguard Protection Services, Inc. The purchase and sale transaction was completed on October 4, 2006 with the sale, transfer and conveyance of all of the issued and outstanding PPSI capital stock to CSII in exchange for cash in the amount of $250,000. With completion of the purchase and sale transaction, Proguard Acquisition terminated its material operations in exchange for the cash purchase price.The Purchaser in this disposition of assets transaction, is related to Proguard Acquisition in that Proguard Acquisition's President and Director, Mr. Frank Bauer, is also a Vice President and Director of the Purchaser, CSII. In addition, Mr. Norman Becker is the President of CSII, a member of CSII's Board of Directors and is also a Vice President and Director of Proguard Acquisition. Neither Mr. Becker nor Mr. Bauer received any direct or indirect remuneration or compensation in Proguard Acquisition's disposition of its wholly-owned subsidiary, PPSI, through purchase and sale of all of its capital stock to CSII.
In addition to the cross-relationship of the officers and directors, Messrs. Becker and Bauer, to Proguard Acquisition and the Purchaser in this transaction, the Purchaser, CSII, has been a long-term loan creditor of the purchased subsidiary, holding, prior to the purchase and sale transaction, an interest-only loan obligation of PPSI in the unpaid principal amount of $100,000. At completion of the subsidiary purchase and sale transaction, the loan obligation of PPSI to the Purchaser, CSII, was current. Following closing of the transaction on October 4, 2006, the subsidiary's loan obligation to the Purchaser, CSII, was extinguished upon consolidation of CSII's financial accounting.
3
___________________________________________________
In determining the purchase price of the subsidiary, PPSI, to be paid by CSII and to be received by Proguard Acquisition, their respective managements considered the original purchase price paid by Proguard Acquisition to acquire PPSI in July of 2004, $100; the book value of the subsidiary at the time of the transaction; the outstanding unpaid principal loan amount owed by the subsidiary to the Purchaser and the circumstance that that unpaid loan obligation would be extinguished with completion of the purchase and sale transaction. Following consideration of all of those factors, the parties agreed to disposition, sale and purchase of the subsidiary for a purchase price amounting to book value plus an additional sum of approximately $100,000. Proguard Acquisition was informed that the source of funds used by the Purchaser, CSII, to acquire Proguard Acquisition's subsidiary was the Purchaser's working capital. No part of the consideration used was borrowed from a bank or otherwise.
Employees
We presently have no full-time employees and no part-time employees.

On October 2, 2006, we entered into a Common Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement with Corrections Systems International, Inc., a privately held Florida corporation in which CSII agreed to purchase and Proguard Acquisition agreed to sell all of the issued and outstanding common stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Proguard Protection Services, Inc. The purchase and sale transaction was completed on October 4, 2006 with the sale, transfer and conveyance of all of the issued and outstanding PPSI capital stock to CSII in exchange for cash in the amount of $250,000. With completion of the purchase and sale transaction, Proguard Acquisition terminated its material operations in exchange for the cash purchase price.
Trends and Uncertainties. We are no longer conducting any material operations since the sale of our wholly owned subsidiary on October 4, 2006. We have not yet determined what operations, if any, we intend to pursue.
Financing Activities. For the year ended December 31, 2007, Proguard Acquisition received proceeds from sales of common stock of $5,461 and proceeds from the exercise of warrants of $19,513. In addition, Proguard Acquisition made advances to related parties of $120,474 including interest. As a result, Proguard Acquisition had net cash used in financing activities of $(88,026).
For the year ended December 31, 2008, Proguard Acquisition did not pursue any financing activities.
Investing Activities. For the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, Proguard Acquisition did not pursue any investing activities.
Results of Operations. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, we did not receive any revenues from continuing operations. We earned interest income of $13,141 for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $20,512 for the year ended December 31, 2007.
For the year ended December 31, 2008, we had a loss from continuing operations of $(85,284) compared to ($210,110) for the year ended December 31, 2007.
General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $98,425 compared to $230,622 for the prior year. These expenses principally consisted of professional and consulting fees and office expense. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was due to an increase in professional and consulting fees and office expense.
As a result, we incurred a net loss of ($85,284) for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to net loss of $(210,110) for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting FirmTo the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Proguard Acquisition Corp.
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
We have audited the balance sheets of Proguard Acquisition Corp. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the accompanying related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Proguard Acquisition Corp. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2008 and no source of revenue, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

PROGUARD ACQUISITION CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008 AND 2007
___________________________________________________
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Nature of Operations.
The accompanying financial statements present the accounts of Proguard Acquisition Corp. (the Company), formed in Florida in June 2004.
Cash and Cash Equivalents.
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share.
The Company calculates net income (loss) per share as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 128, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. During periods in which the Company incurs losses, common stock equivalents, if any, are not considered, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
For the net-loss period ended December 31, 2008, we excluded any effect of the 289,250 warrants as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
Income Taxes.
The Company follows SFAS 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.
Concentrations.
The Company maintains cash in financial institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to $250,000.
13
___________________________________________________
Use of Estimates.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense.
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for share-based awards to employees using the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principle Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock issued to Employees" and related interpretations and provided the pro forma disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting For Stock-Based Compensation."
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share Based Payment ("SFAS No. 123R"). SFAS No. 123R establishes the financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based compensation plans. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective method, and, therefore, prior periods were not restated. Under the modified prospective method, companies are required to record compensation expense for (1) the unvested portion of previously issued awards that remain outstanding at the initial date of adoption, which we did not have, and (2) for any awards issued, modified or settled after the effective date of the statement which we also did not have. The Company recognizes stock compensation expenses over the requisite service period of the award, normally the vesting term of the options which are generally immediately fully vested and exercisable. As required by SFAS No. 123R, the Company has recognized the cost resulting from all stock-based payment transactions including shares issued under its stock option plans in the financial statements.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements do not purport to represent realizable or settlement values. However, the Company has incurred an operating loss. Such loss may impair its ability to obtain additional financing.
This factor raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company has met its historical working capital requirements from sale of capital shares. However, there can be no assurance that such financial support shall be ongoing or available on terms or conditions acceptable to the Company.

___________________________________________________
Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accountings Standards ("SFAS") No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, which requires additional disclosures about the objectives of the derivative instruments and hedging activities, the method of accounting for such instruments and related hedged items on our financial position, financial performance, and cash flows SFAS No. 161 is effective for our company beginning December 15, 2008. Management believes that, for the foreseeable future, this Statement will have no impact on the financial statements once adopted.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141B, Business Combinations, which replaces SFAS No. 141. The statement retains the purchase method of accounting for acquisitions, but requires a number of changes, recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, requires the capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value, and requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. SFAS No. 141R is effective for our company beginning December 15, 2008 and will apply prospectively to business combinations completed on or after that date. Management believes that, for the foreseeable future, this Statement will have no impact on our financial statements once adopted.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51, which changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests. Minority interests will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interest and will be reported as a component of equity separate from the parent's equity, and purchases of sales of equity separate from the parent's equity, and purchases or sales of equity interests that do not result in a change in control will be accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement and, upon a loss of control, the interest sold, as well as any interest retained, will be recorded at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 160 is effective for our company effective for our company effective December 15, 2008 and will apply prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which will apply retrospectievely. Management believes that, for the foreseeable future, this Statement will have no impact on our financial statements once adopted.
In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for non-governmental entities. We are currently evaluating the effects, if any, that SFAS No. 162 may have on our financial reporting.
The FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"), defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and exands disclosure of fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued DFASB Staff Position, "FSP FAS 157-2 - Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157" (FSP 157-2), which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for one year for certain nonfinacial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually. Excluded from the scope of SFAS 157 are certain leasing transactions accounted for SFAS No. 13, "Accounting for LEases." The exclusion does not apply to fair value measurements of assets and liabilities recorded as a result of a lease transaction but measured pursuant to other pronouncements within the scope of SFAS 157. We have not yet determined whether we will adopt SFAS 157.

In April 2008, FASB Staff Position No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (FSP 142-3) was issued. This standard amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. We have not determined the impact on our financial statements of this accounting standard.
NOTE 2. ACQUISITION AND SALE OF PROGUARD PROTECTION SERVICES, INC.
On July 1, 2004, the shareholders of Proguard Protection Services, Inc. (Protection) exchanged their 1,000,000 shares of outstanding Protection no par value common stock and received 395,000 shares of the Company's restricted $0.001 par value common stock. Effective July 1, 2004, Protection became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
This acquisition of Protection, the accounting acquirer, by the Company a non-operating entity, is considered in substance a capital transaction by the issuance of 200,000 shares of common stock by Protection for the net assets of the Company which consisted of cash of $9,889 and accounts payable of $900 and was accounted for as a reverse acquisition. No goodwill or other intangible assets were recorded. On this basis, the historical financial statements, except share capital, as of and prior to the acquisition date represent the operations of Protection.
On October 2, 2006, Proguard Acquisition entered into a Common Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement with Corrections Systems International, Inc., a privately held Florida corporation in which CSII agreed to purchase and Proguard Acquisition agreed to sell all of the issued and outstanding common stock of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Proguard Protection Services, Inc. The purchase and sale transaction was completed on October 4, 2006 with the sale, transfer and conveyance of all of the issued and outstanding Proguard Protection capital stock to CSII in exchange for cash in the amount of $250,000. With completion of the purchase and sale transaction, Proguard Acquisition terminated its material operations in exchange for the cash purchase price.
Accordingly, all the assets, liabilities and operations of the subsidiary were reclassified as discontinued operations.
CSII, in this disposition of assets transaction, is related to Proguard Acquisition in that Proguard Acquisition's President and Director, Mr. Frank Bauer, is also a Vice President and Director of the Purchaser, CSII. In addition, Mr. Norman Becker is the president of CSII, a member of CSII's board of directors and is also a vice president and director of Proguard Acquisition. Neither Mr. Becker nor Mr. Bauer received any direct or indirect remuneration or compensation in the disposition of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Protection, through purchase and sale of all of its capital stock to CSII.
In addition to the cross-relationship of the officers and directors, Messrs. Becker and Bauer, to Proguard Acquisition and CSII in this transaction, CSII has been a long-term loan creditor of Proguard Protection, holding, prior to the purchase and sale transaction, aninterest-only loan obligation of Proguard Protection in the unpaid principal amount of $100,000. At completion of the subsidiary purchase, and sale transaction, the loan obligation of Proguard Protection to the Purchaser, CSII, was current. Following closing of the transaction on October 4, 2006, the subsidiary's loan obligation to the Purchaser, CSII, was extinguished upon consolidation of CSII's financial accounting.

NOTE 3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

NOTE 4. DUE FROM AFFILIATE
Due from affiliates consists of $100,000 due from a former subsidiary, $20,540 due from affiliates, including accrued interest of $15,540. The notes bear interest at 8% per annum and are due on demand.
NOTE 5. INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS 109, which requires use of the liability method. SFAS 109 provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the currently enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be settled or realized.
The income tax expense (benefit) differs from the amount computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate to net income (loss) before income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, as shown:
| 2008

___________________________________________________
As of December 31, 2008, the Company has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $463,000. This loss will be available to offset future taxable income. If not used, this carryforward will expire through 2027 subject to IRS Code Section 382 limits.
NOTE 6. COMMON STOCK
In April 2005, the Company filed a Form SB-2 registration statement offering 800,000 units at $1 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share and one warrant to purchase one common share at $1.75 per share. The warrants are exercisable for 36 months and may be called at $.01 per warrant after 24 months from the date of the prospectus. As of December 31, 2006, the Company has sold 360,400 units for a total of $360,400. Warrants to purchase 60,000 common shares for a total consideration of $105,000 were exercised during the year ended December 31, 2006.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, 11,150 warrants were exercised at a price of $1.75 per warrant and converted into 11,150 shares of common stock for a total price of $19,513.
No warrants were exercised during the year ended December 31,2008. At December 31, 2008, there were 289,250 warrants outstanding.
Stock Based Compensation Expenses 2007: In conjunction with the stock purchases during the three months ended September 30, 2007, pursuant to accounting rules and principles applicable to stock sales in related party transactions, the Company recorded a $60,074 non-cash increase in its "additional paid in capital" account and recorded non-cash transaction expense for the same amount. The accounting rules require that in related party transactions, a non-cash expense be recorded for the difference between "fair value" (as defined in the rules) and the selling price. Further, the transaction with the related party cannot be considered to represent "fair value" and cannot be viewed as an "arms-length transaction" for purposes of the application of the rule and for the related computation.
In the first quarter of 2007, the Company acted as an agent between a potential buyer and its shareholders on a sale of stock. The potential buyer did not execute in a timely manner, so the funds received were forfeited and distributed to the shareholders.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Controls and Procedures
(a) EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our management, with the participation of our president and chief financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") Rules 13a-15(e) and 15-d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the "Evaluation Date"). Based upon that evaluation, the president and chief financial officer concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
19
___________________________________________________
Our management, including our president and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our 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 controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Proguard have been detected.
(b) MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2008, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on these criteria. This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.
(c) CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATIONNone
