Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
Note 1 – Basis of presentation
The interim financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these condensed interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2009 and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.
Results of operations for the interim periods are not indicative of annual results.
Note 2 – History and organization of the company
The Company was originally organized on September 24, 2004 (Date of Inception) under the laws of the State of Nevada, as Midnight Candle Company. On July 20, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to change its name from Midnight Candle Company to SEFE, Inc. The Company is authorized to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of its common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share.
The business of the Company is to distribute candles. The candles will be marketed in various sizes, shapes and fragrances. These customized candles will be distributed for home use and small business users. The Company does not plan to produce any candles and expects to purchase all of its saleable products from manufactures or enter into private-label relationships with manufactures to place our corporate name on select products. The Company has limited operations and in accordance with FASB ASC 915-10, “Development Stage Entities,” the Company is considered a development stage company.
Note 3 – Going concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of ($94,215) for the period from September 24, 2004 (inception) to June 30, 2010, and had minimal net sales of $464.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. On August 19, 2009, the Company secured a Revolving Line of Credit for $30,000 with a non-related third-party entity, the terms of which are discussed in Note 4 – Debt and Interest Expense. Nonetheless, the Company is significantly dependent upon its ability, and will continue to attempt, to secure equity and/or debt financing. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful and without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

However, as of June 30, 2010, the holder is materially controlled by a director of the Company and is thus considered to be a related entity. Any principal balance borrowed against the Note accrues interest at a rate of 10% per year. The entire unpaid balance and interest accrued thereupon are due on December 31, 2011. Unpaid balance and interest accrued thereupon are due on December 31, 2011. The Company has not borrowed against this note and the balance due as of June 30, 2010 is $0.

As of June 30, 2010, the holder loaned us $15,000 of the aggregate amount to be borrowed, with the balance of $130,000 yet to be received by the Company. The loan is due and payable in full on the earlier of June 25, 2011 or at the closing of a private placement offering that nets the Registrant a minimum of $2,000,000. The loan bears an interest rate of 10% per annum, payable on maturity. As of June 30, 2010, the balance owed on this loan is $15,000. In connection with the loan, and for no additional consideration, the Company issued to the note holder an aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock.

All references to share and per share information in the financial statements and related notes have been adjusted to reflect the stock split on a retroactive basis.
On June 25, 2010, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of its par value common stock to two note holders, in connection with the Bridge Loan Agreements discussed in Note 4 – Debt and Interest Expense, above.

The Company does not lease or rent any property. Office services are provided without charge by an officer and director of the Company. Such costs are immaterial to the financial statements and, accordingly, have not been reflected therein. The officers and directors of the Company are involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities. If a specific business opportunity becomes available, such persons may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and their other business interests. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.

Management’s Discussion
We were originally incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 24, 2004 as Midnight Candle Company. On July 20, 2010, we amended our articles of incorporation to change our name to SEFE, Inc.
On July 16, 2010, subsequent to the period covered by this report, we entered into an Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement by and between SEFE, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Ms. Helen C. Cary, the majority shareholder of our issued and outstanding common stock, and Midnight Candle Company. In accordance with the Assignment, we acquired all of SEFE’s right, title and interest in and to various information, inventions, discoveries, writings, expressions, ideas, know-how, concepts, techniques, innovations, systems, processes, procedures, methods, prototypes, designs, and technical data involving or relating to certain atmospheric static electricity collectors, as generally described in four U.S. Patent Applications. In exchange for the assignment of the Patents, we agreed to the following:
| 1. | The assumption of liabilities of SEFE, in the aggregate of $250,000; |
| 2. | The issuance of 30,000,000 shares of the Registrant’s unregistered common stock; and |
| 3. | The cancellation by Ms. Cary of 144,900,000 shares of the Registrant’s common stock owned by her. |
For a more detailed explanation of the above transactions please see the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 19, 2010, and subsequent amendments made thereto.
During the three month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we did not generate any revenues, nor did we incur any cost of goods sold and shipping charges. Since our inception to June 30, 2010, we generated an aggregate of $571 in gross revenues from sales of our candles and had returns and allowances in the amount of $107, resulting in net revenues since inception of $464. After accounting for cost of sales in the amount of $307, adding a sales discount of $34 and shipping costs of $95, we realized a gross profit of $96 from the period from our inception through June 30, 2010. We are unable to predict the stability of, and ability to continue to generate, ongoing revenues. We have no saleable inventory and cannot predict when, if at all, we will be able to generate revenues for the foresee able future.
In the course of our operations, we incur operating expenses composed primarily of general and administrative costs and professional fees. General and administrative expenses are essentially the cost of doing business, and encompass, without limitation, the following: licenses; taxes; general office expenses, such as postage, supplies and printing; utilities; bank charges; website costs; and other miscellaneous expenditures not otherwise classified. Accounting fees include: auditing by our independent registered public accountants, bookkeeping, tax preparation fees for filing Federal and State income tax returns and other accounting-specific consulting services. Professional fees include: transfer agent fees for printing stock certificates; consulting costs for marketing and advertising; general busine ss development; and Edgarization fees for the submission of reports and information statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
For the three months ended June 30, 2010, we incurred operating expenses in the amount of $33,030. In comparison, operating expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $2,162. The components of the comparable periods are as follows:
| | Three months ended | | | Change | |
| | June 30, | | | 2009 to 2010 | |
Expense | | 2010 | | | 2009 | | | $ | | | | % | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Accounting Fees | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Audit fees | | $ | 3,250 | | | $ | 750 | | | $ | 2,500 | | | | 333 | % |
Office Expenses | | | 284 | | | | 1,186 | | | | (902 | ) | | | (76 | )% |
Professional Fees | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Edgarization fees | | | 330 | | | | 226 | | | | (104 | ) | | | 46 | % |
Legal fees | | | 10,000 | | | | - | | | | 10,000 | | | | - | % |
General business development | | | 19,166 | | | | - | | | | 19,166 | | | | - | % |
Website development | | | 3,000 | | | | - | | | | 3,000 | | | | - | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total Operating Expenses | | $ | 33,030 | | | $ | 2,162 | | | $ | 20,868 | | | | 965 | % |
Overall expenses increased by 965% from the three months ended June 30, 2009 to the comparable period ended June 30, 2010. We attribute the bulk of the increase to a material increase in professional fees paid to third-parties, of which $10,000 was for legal expenses and $19,496 paid to transfer agents for various professional fees rendered. Our management cautions that the variations in all expense categories are not accurate indications of long-term trends and ongoing expenses will continue to vary drastically from period to period.
Aggregate operating expenses since our inception on September 24, 2004 to June 30, 2010 were $92,873, comprised, as follows:

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded interest expense of $1,000, related specifically to bridge loans issued on June 25, 2010. In the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, we did not incur any interest expense.
We have experienced net losses in all periods since our inception. Our net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $34,030. Comparatively, during the three months ended June 30, 2009, our net loss totaled $2,162. In the six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we incurred a net loss of $39,875 and $5,196, respectively. Our net loss since the date of our inception through June 30, 2010 was $94,215, after taking into consideration the impairment of our remaining inventory of $438. We anticipate incurring ongoing operating losses and cannot predict when, if at all, we may expect these losses to plateau or narrow.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our management believes that our cash on hand as of June 30, 2010 in the amount of $106,240 is not sufficient to maintain our operations for the next approximately 12 months. As of June 30, 2010, we owed $125 in accounts payable to vendors and service providers, as well as an aggregate of $175,270 in notes payable, the aggregate amount of which greatly exceeds out total assets.
As of August 12, 2009, we have reached an agreement with the holder of the $15,000 in notes payable, Ms. Helen Cary, an officer and director, to extend the due dates of all such notes indefinitely, and for all balances to be due on demand and bear no interest. Ms. Cary received no beneficial terms in this transaction. Rather, we were the recipient of terms highly beneficial to us, as Ms. Cary did not and has not yet demanded any of the notes be repaid, nor is there any interest being charged or accrued on any of the notes.
On August 19, 2009, the Company entered into a Revolving Line of Credit Promissory Note with a non-related, third party entity for a total of $30,000. Any principal balance borrowed against the Note accrues interest at a rate of 10% per year. The entire unpaid balance and interest accrued thereupon are due on December 31, 2011. The balance owed on this line of credit as of March 31, 2010 is $0.
On June 25, 2010, we borrowed $145,000 from a related party entity in the form of a Bridge Loan. As of June 30, 2010, the holder loaned us $15,000 of the aggregate amount to be borrowed, with the balance of $130,000 yet to be received by us. The loan is due and payable in full on the earlier of June 25, 2011 or at the closing of a private placement offering that nets us a minimum of $2,000,000. The loan bears an interest rate of 10% per annum, payable on maturity. As of June 30, 2010, the balance owed on this loan is $15,000. In connection with the Notes, and for no additional consideration, we issued to the related party holder an aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock.
On June 25, 2010, we entered into a second Bridge Loan Agreement, whereby we borrowed $145,000 from a non-related entity. The loan is due and payable in full on the earlier of June 25, 2011 or at the closing of a private placement offering that nets us a minimum of $2,000,000. The loan bears an interest rate of 10% per annum, payable on maturity. As of June 30, 2010, the balance owed on this loan is $145,000. In connection with the loan, and for no additional consideration, we issued to the note holder an aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock.
Our management does not expect to incur research and development costs.
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
We currently do not own any significant plant or equipment that we would seek to sell in the near future.
We have not paid for expenses on behalf of any of our directors. Additionally, we believe that this fact shall not materially change.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that this information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based upon their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.
Our Board of Directors was advised by management that its evaluation of internal control over financial reporting identified a material weakness as defined in Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Standard No. 5 in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
This deficiency consisted primarily of inadequate staffing and supervision that could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters and failure to perform timely and effective reviews. However, the size of the Company prevents us from being able to employ sufficient resources to enable us to have adequate segregation of duties within our internal control system. Management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Management has taken all actions to ensure that the filing includes all required content and the financial statements presented are in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting pursuant to the rules of the SEC.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
