As of November __, 2007, there are approximately 12 stockholders of record holding a total of 15,850,000 shares of common stock. The board of directors believes that the number of beneficial owners is substantially greater than the number of record holders because a portion of our outstanding common stock is held in broker “street names” for the benefit of individual investors. The holders of the common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of the common stock have no preemptive rights and no right to convert their common stock into any other securities. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock.
The Corporation’s preferred stock may have such rights, preferences and designations and may be issued in such series as determined by the board of directors. No shares were issued and outstanding at November __, 2007.
The Corporation has not declared any cash dividends since inception and we do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends is within the discretion of the board of directors and will depend on the Corporation’s earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, and other relevant factors. There are no restrictions that currently limit the Corporation’s ability to pay dividends on its common stock other than those generally imposed by applicable state law.
Our plan of operation over the next year, subject to closing the acquisition of Electrolinks, is to focus on Electrolinks’ business model. Electrolinks is focused on becoming a Full Service Broadband over Power Line (“BPL”) based telecommunications integrator that intends to offer “Smart Grid” BPL products from various vendors to electrical utilities and to buildings with multiple dwelling units over any form of existing electrical infrastructure.
Our plan of operation for Electrolinks will require $5,000,000 in funding over the next 12 months. We expect that these funds, to be used primarily in the development of BPL services, will be made available from debt or equity financings tied to our common stock.
Results of Operations
During the nine month period ended June 30, 2007 and the year ended September 30, 2006, our operations were limited to exploration of the Don Mineral Claim for economically viable mineral reserves, finalizing those agreements pertaining to the intended acquisition of Electrolinks, and satisfying continuous public disclosure requirements. Since Electrolinks is in the development stage with no history of generating revenue, we cannot determine whether the Corporation will ever generate revenues from operations.
Net Losses/Income
For the period from inception to June 30, 2007, the Corporation incurred a net loss of $111,310.. Net losses for the nine month period ended June 30, 2007 were $61,786 as compared to $34,006 for the nine months ended June 30, 2006. The Corporation’s net losses in the current nine month period are attributable to general and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses include financing costs, accounting costs, consulting fees, leases, employment costs, professional fees, and costs associated with the preparation of disclosure documentation. We did not generate any revenues during this period.
The Corporation expects to continue to incur losses through the year ended 2007
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
The Corporation has a prospective income tax benefit resulting from a net operating loss carryforward and start up costs that will offset any future operating profit.
Impact of Inflation
The Corporation believes that inflation has had a negligible effect on operations since inception.
Capital Expenditures
The Corporation expended no significant amounts on capital expenditures for the period from inception to June 30, 2007.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2007, the Corporation had $257,988 current assets.. Net stockholders' deficit in the Corporation was $47,810 at June 30, 2007. The Corporation is in the development stage and, since inception, has experienced significant changes in liquidity, capital resources and stockholders’ equity.
Cash flow used in operating activities was $52,931 for the period from inception to June 30, 2007. Cash flow used in operating activities for the nine month period ended June 30, 2007 was $20,907 as compared to $17,008 for the nine months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in cash flow used in operating activities in the current nine month period was due primarily to a decrease in net losses.
Cash flow used in operating activities was $37,024 for the period from inception to September 30, 2006.. During our fiscal year 2006, cash flow used in operating activities was $32,024..
25
Cash flow provided by financing activities was $311,107 for the period from inception to June 30, 2007.. Cash flow provided by financing activities for the nine month period ended June 30, 2007 was $260,107 as compared to $40,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2006. Cash flow provided by financing activities in the current nine month period can be attributed to a loan payable.
Cash flow provided by financing activities was $51,000 for the period from inception to September 30, 2006. During our fiscal year 2006, cash flow provided from financing activities was $40,000.
Cash flows used in investing activities was $244,221 for the period from inception to June 30, 2007. Cash flows used in investing activities for the nine month period ended June 30, 2007 was $239,221 as compared to $5,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2006. Cash flows used in investing activities in the current nine month period can be attributed to a loan receivable principal advance.
Cash flow provided by financing activities was $51,000 for the period from inception to September 30, 2006. During our fiscal year 2006, cash flow provided from financing activities was $40,000..
The Corporation’s current assets are insufficient to conduct our plan of operation over the next twelve (12) months and we will have to seek debt or equity financing to fund operations. The Corporation has no current commitments or arrangements with respect to, or immediate sources of funding. Further, no assurances can be given that funding, if needed, would be available or available to the Corporation on acceptable terms. The Corporation’s stockholders would be the most likely source of new funding in the form of loans or equity placements though none have made any commitment for future investment and we have no agreement formal or otherwise. The Corporation’s inability to obtain funding would have a material adverse affect on our plan of operation.
The Corporation has no current plans for the purchase or sale of any plant or equipment.
The Corporation has no current plans to make any changes in the number of employees.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2007, the Corporation has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
In the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2006 included in the Corporation’ Form 10-KSB, the Corporation discusses those accounting policies that are considered to be significant in determining the results of operations and its financial position. The Corporation believes that the accounting principles utilized by it conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. By their nature, these
judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. On an on-going basis, the Corporation evaluates its estimates. The Corporation bases its estimates on historical experience and other facts and circumstances that are believed to be reasonable, and the results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. The actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Stock-Based Compensation
On January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) (SFAS No. 123R), Share-Based Payment, which addresses the accounting for stock-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. In January 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107, which provides supplemental implementation guidance for SFAS No. 123R. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the ability to account for stock-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and instead generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. We use the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model to determine the fair-value of stock-based awards under SFAS No. 123R, consistent with that used for pro forma disclosures under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. We have elected the modified prospective transition method as permitted by SFAS No. 123R and accordingly prior periods have not been restated to reflect the impact of SFAS No. 123R. The modified prospective transition method requires that stock-based compensation expense be recorded for all new and unvested stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and employee stock purchase plan shares that are ultimately expected to vest as the requisite service is rendered beginning on January 1, 2006, the first day of our fiscal year 2006. Stock-based compensation expense for awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 is based on the grant date fair-value as determined under the pro forma provisions of SFAS No. 123.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, we measured compensation expense for our employee stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25. We applied the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, as if the fair-value-based method had been applied in measuring compensation expense. Under APB Opinion No. 25, when the exercise price of the Corporation’s employee stock options was equal to the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant, no compensation expense was recognized.
We account for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and the conclusions reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) in Issue No. 96-18. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by EITF 96-18.
27
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140”, to simplify and make more consistent the accounting for certain financial instruments. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” to permit fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier application allowed. This standard is not expected to have a significant effect on the Corporation’s future reported financial position or results of operations.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”. This statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits for subsequent measurement using either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization and impairment requirements of Statement No. 140. The subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value eliminates the necessity for entities that manage the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities with derivatives to qualify for hedge accounting treatment and eliminates the characterization of declines in fair value as impairments or direct write-downs. SFAS No. 156 is effective for an entity's first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. This adoption of this statement is not expected to have a significant effect on the Corporation’s future reported financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”.. The objective of SFAS 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Corporation's future reported financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 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 requires employers to recognize the overfunded or underfunded 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 requires 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. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for employers with publicly traded equity securities as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Corporation's future reported financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.”
28
SAB No. 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. SAB No. 108 is effective for periods ending after November 15, 2006. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SAB No. 108 but does not expect that it will have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.. The Corporation is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on our financial position and results of operations.
Going Concern
Due to the uncertainty pertinent to the Corporation’s ability to meet our current operating expenses and the capital expenses noted above, in their report on the annual financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2006, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Corporation’s financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.
The Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to realize a profit and/or obtain funding from outside sources. Management’s plan to address our ability to continue as a going concern, include: (a) obtaining funding from private placement sources; (b) obtaining additional funding from the sale of the Corporation’s securities; and (c) obtaining loans and grants from various financial institutions, where possible. Although management believes that we will be able to obtain the necessary funding to allow us to remain a going concern through the methods discussed above, there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.
THE ELECTROLINKS CORPORATION
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Organization
Electrolinks was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) by articles of incorporation dated March 23, 2004 and continued pursuant to the Canada Business Corporations Act by articles of continuance dated April 29, 2004. Electrolinks’ registered office and principal place of business is
located at 151 Bloor St. West, Toronto, Ontario M5S 1S4. Electrolinks’ telephone number is (416) 850-8881, its facsimile number is (416) 850-8882..
29
Business
Electrolinks intends to become a Full Service Broadband over Power Line (“BPL”) based telecommunications integrator that will offer “Smart Grid” BPL products from various vendors to electrical utilities and to buildings with multiple dwelling units. BPL is a technology that delivers high-speed data over existing electric power delivery networks and is an alternative means of providing high-speed Internet access, voice over Internet Protocol (“VOlP”), and other broadband services, using existing medium and low-voltage power lines to reach customers’ homes and businesses.
Power lines have sufficient capacity to transmit data as well as power. In fact power lines have been used to carry data for many years using a rudimentary technology that allowed delivery of low-speed data over short distances. In recent years the technology has been refined to the point that it now supports the efficient transmission of high-speed data over very long distances.
BPL has distinct advantages over broadband technologies such as DSL and cable in that it relies on the existing electrical infrastructure so deployment costs are low and it has greater bandwidth delivery potential. The industry appears to have reached a “tipping point” in that there is a clear momentum driving utilities, governments and the public to give the product a try.
In addition to the electrical utility applications, businesses, whether small or large, now require high speed Internet access. In response to the demand for this service, the major telephone and other associated companies have built large fiber optic networks that span North America and much of the world. Old buildings and existing residential subdivisions do not have modern fiber optic or other wiring which are able to give access to the high speed networks without the installation of new wiring, the cost of which is prohibitive. The distance between the end user located in the areas not now served by or able to access the high speed network is often called the “last mile” and until now there has been no effective technology for economically making this connection.
The ability to access the high speed network over electrical wiring would be a solution and for many years there has been ongoing research to use the electrical wiring for this purpose. This is called “broadband over powerlines” or BPL. A method for sending Internet and telephone data at high speeds over electrical lines and wiring over long and short distances has now been perfected.
Public utilities own and operate the power grid and can use electrical wiring for power line communications with minimal upgrade costs. Older buildings and facilities obtain the same benefits through the use of the electrical wiring already present in providing internal high speed Internet and telephone access.
Examples of Electrolinks’ solutions are the following: |
30
| § | Utilities with the last-mile solution allowing them to extend their fiber networks to residential and commercial customers over the electrical grid at low deployment costs. |
| § | Utilities with a means to deploy automated-meter reading services, to address the need for real-time data in order for them to manage energy consumption. The Ontario government has proposed that utilities should be proactive in controlling electrical consumption during peak hours to avoid blackouts. |
| § | Broadband access technology (high-speed Internet, telephone/voice, movies-on-demand, video conferencing). |
| § | Hydro utilities and service providers with the control and management of data on the BPL network. |
| § | Consulting and training services to BPL clients. |
| § | Traditional telecom companies (such as Bell and Rogers) with the ability to access customers that could not previously be reached due to high deployment and support costs. |
| § | Hydro utilities with alternate revenue sources by offering their clients additional services such as high-speed Internet, voice and data, and smart home services (data-enabled appliances and automated meter reading). |
| § | Residential and commercial developers with a low cost alternative to enabling data communication for every electrical outlet within new and existing developments. BPL will provide the foundation for smart-home networking. |
Smart Metering. Smart meters allow electricity users to choose to lower their electricity bills by shifting their usage to lower cost periods. Such activity by users is increasingly seen by policy makers as a key part of a plan for addressing the nation's electricity needs. Additionally, when a smart meter is used, additional benefits in areas such as outage detection and restoration can be realized, making the meter a key component of a utility's efforts to address blackouts and storm- related outages.
“Smart meters” are an advanced measurement and control technology that accurately measures how much electricity is used and when. They are a key technology for “peak management,” which provides the business case (justification) for their implementation. Smart metering technologies also provide advanced billing capabilities, outage notification, and can link meters to other conservation and electricity demand management programs. These benefits can also contribute to Government objectives to reduce emissions, keep energy prices competitive, and to encourage electronic trading.
The simplest form of smart metering is a display meter which allows consumers to monitor consumption in money terms rather than kWh. It can be combined with a keypad or smart card reader which could link to prepayment systems thereby potentially reducing costs and the higher tariffs currently offered to prepayment meter customers.
In Ontario, Canada, we will be concentrating on the Smart Meter reading applications in approaching Utilities. The market was opened up in Europe by the decision in Sweden to require monthly readings of all electricity meters from 2009, and it is worth noticing that many of the leading power utilities in the neighboring Nordic countries have voluntarily decided to introduce AMR on a large scale for its business benefits.
BPL Products and Services. The following is a brief summary of Electrolinks’ products:
| § | BPL Access Masters - These BPL network devices are similar to traditional network routers offered by CISCO, NORTEL and LUCENT. The BPL Access Master distributes the data signal over mid to low voltage lines (16KV to 100 volts). One BPL Access master can support up to 200 end users. |
| § | BPL Access Modems - These BPL network devices send/receive, interpret and encrypt data to and from the BPL network. A customer would use the modem between a BPL-enabled electrical outlet and its PC/laptop. |
| § | BPL Software - BPL is an application server that was designed to specifically work with BPL networks for network management, access and operations. In addition, BPL performs billing, invoicing, price plan development, and customer BPL management. |
31
The BPL application is commercially ready for sales demonstration and production deployment. Electrolinks’ research and development and product marketing team are currently working onBPLMX (Multimedia) that is expected to handle all voice, video conferencing and video-on-demand applications. This software application provides a host of features to allow service providers (i.e. utilities) to collect, bill and manage real-time BPL data and users. Collection and management of automated-meter reading data on the BPL network will enable utilities to implement commercial and residential energy management programs, during peak hours to avoid blackouts..
Electrolinks’ also provides support, training and a subscriber portal. Electrolinks follows a best of breed support procedure to assist its clients. Electrolinks provides local technicians to resolve issues on the client site. To further expand the local coverage, Electrolinks has defined an outsourcing program to train third party technicians to handle issues on a per call basis.
Raw Material. Electrolinks does not rely on any one or more raw materials or raw material suppliers for the normal course of business.
Customers. Electrolinks currently does not rely on one or a few customers to continue business nor does Electrolinks believe such a dependency will evolve in the future for Electrolinks. Current and potential customers include:
| § | Electrical utility companies that require BPL for their own power network management. |
| § | General use applications such as multi-occupant residences, businesses, office buildings, schools and universities, to provide basic service or as a revenue generator for the building owner. |
| § | Hotels- for fast economically favourable rollout of Internet access offerings to guests as a revenue generator, at low capital cost. |
| § | Any location world-wide with limited telecom infrastructure, through Satellite link. |
Competition
Electrolinks faces competition primarily in two areas:
| § | Existing broadband/data/voice providers, such as Bell, Rogers and Primus. |
Electrolinks has developed a number of integrated solutions for the targeted client markets, which will compete with existing communications solution providers. As such, there are a number of existing competitors in each of Electrolinks’ target markets.
Electrolinks’ principal competitors in hardware manufacturing and providing solutions in the BPL equipment vendor space have significant stockholders (i.e., CON EDISON and CISCO) and have access to capital.
There are four major barriers to entering the growing demand for broadband:
32
| § | BPL is a new broadband alternative making a debut in North America where equipment costs are slightly higher than traditional DSL equipment. |
| § | Misconceptions about BPL being an unreliable broadband alternative. This primarily has to do with the lack of current BPL knowledge and education. This is mainly because early BPL development in the 1980s was too costly and ineffective. Great strides have been made in advancing the technology as a commercially ready solution. |
| § | Utility alignment with BPL as an alternative telecommunication channel must align with existing and future CRTC telecommunication rulings. |
| § | Utilities have deep pockets to fund this technology; however, they ten to be very conservative and risk-sensitive. |
Marketability
The demand on the part of utilities to manage their network in real time in order to deliver a more reliable power supply cost effectively is becoming more and more critical. BPL offers the utilities the most efficient and cost effective way to manage their networks. Electrolinks is poised to take advantage of this tremendous business opportunity.
The supply of broadband Internet access has become a multi-billion dollar industry. Both home and business have a need and requirement for fast and dependable internet access for uses and applications which are increasing in number and type, such as “smart appliances”, “smart meter reading”, video-on- demand and internet telephony services. Power line systems can provide high speed access for rural (mid-voltage) and “in-building” (low-voltage) broadband distribution.
The high cost of installing wiring to use traditional telecommunication equipment has drastically slowed the growth of data communication access. Therefore, the Government of Canada has mandated that each province pursue a technology “reach” program. In Ontario and Alberta, the program is called SUPERBUILD; in British Columbia the program is call the DIGITAL DIVIDE. The objective of these programs is to provide broadband data communication access to rural and remote communities through economically viable technologies.
The Government of Canada has stated that the above objective and the following policy objectives of The Telecommunications Act must both be met:
| § | Safeguard, enrich and strengthen the social and economical fabric of Canada and its regions |
| § | Render reliable and affordable telecommunications of high quality accessible to Canadians in both urban and rural areas. |
For governments, a high speed data infrastructure is crucial for achieving socio-economic development goals. For instance, South Korea and Hong Kong, upon the introduction of broadband networks, found that telecommunication expenditure as a percentage of gross domestic product grew up to three times faster in the last ten years than the global average. Broadband can also facilitate the provision of public services, such as e-learning, telemedicine and e-government.
For telephone companies and utility providers, broadband offers a route to provide a new source of income if it could be provided by them to their customers. In South Korea, the average revenue per broadband user is up to seven times higher than for a narrowband user. Worldwide, the broadband market was estimated by Ernst & Young/Cap Gemini (2001) to be some US$22 billion in 2002.
The Government of Canada’s goal through ensuring universal broadband access is to stimulate economic growth in low or underdeveloped rural and urban communities. The cost challenge has until now remained the biggest hurdle.
For consumers, broadband makes possible a much wider and richer range of applications. Faster access to richer information and the “always-on” nature of broadband are an attraction for users. In a user survey in Japan, 70% of users reported that broadband had increased their usage of the internet. In Iceland, some 40 foreign television channels are broadcast over the broadband network, greatly increasing the choice of services available.
33
The need in Canada (as mandated by the federal government) is to reach 70% of Canadian communities that has meager telecom support today. By providing this communication enhancement at a reasonable cost, communities can greatly increase their economic vitality through the development, sustenance and retention of valuable human resources.
Public utilities are universally in need of new sources of revenue. The electrical power grids which they own, maintain and operate can now, with BPL, be used to provide high speed Internet access and telephone services. BPL is leading the way as an additional revenue source.
Target Markets
BPL uses the existing hydro lines to distribute both voice and data transmission. Traditional telecom systems (whether fiber or old style copper) can easily be integrated to power line communications, effectively extending the telecom system for distribution over the hydro grid. BPLis the first technology, combining:
| § | Broadband up and downstream capacity |
| § | Existing power grid infrastructure. |
| § | Integration into existing telecom carrier systems. |
Through market segmentation, several power line communication client markets naturally emerge based on need:
| § | Electrical utilities need to manage their network efficiently and possibly provide broadband services to residential and commercial customers; |
| § | Residential apartments, condominiums, businesses, hotels and convention centers’ need to provide more efficient and economic internet and VOIP services; |
According to the research firm In-Stat/MDR, while it is expected that the connected community market will be approached more cautiously in the next several years, this does not necessitate a lack of growth in the market. Over the next five years, the percentage of connected “greenfield” (outlying rural community) homes built is expected to increase from 11% in 2002 to 61% in 2006. As a model for community development, the connected community concept will continue to have an increasingly dominant role in future “greenfield” developments.
The fundamental driving forces, which gave birth to the connected community concept in 1997, will continue to fuel its growth in future years. As in the past, growing use of broadband services in the home will drive the market. It will also be driven by the emergence of lower cost technologies for bundled service deployment, such as VDSL (very high-speed digital subscriber lines) and PON (passive optical networks, also known as FTTH (fiber-to-the-home)). Many developers have already realized the value that an advanced broadband service offering can bring to their development and it is these developers that will set the pace for others to compete against.
With the fast implementation and low BPL deployment costs, BPL is able to deliver community broadband:
To strengthen local economies – for example, by using multimedia web sites and on-line purchasing systems to sell products and services based on the community’s unique attributes and comparative advantages to regional, national and global markets.
34
To improve local health care – for example, by using video conferencing facilities that would allow local medical staff to diagnose illness and treat patients in real-time consultation with health care specialists.
To make new learning opportunities available – for example, through on-line video forums linking rural and remote schools from the different regions of Canada.
Based on the Statistics Canada 2002 Census Report almost 70% of the communities in Canada are un-served. In Canada, the BPL Community Access Solutionhelps to align with the Canadian Federal Broadband Program 2002 objectives as follows:
| § | All Canadian communities should be linked to national broadband networks via high-capacity, scalable transport links capable of supporting an aggregate of 4.5 Mbps symmetrical service to each end user, as well as higher bandwidths to institutions. |
| § | Access to broadband in First Nation, Inuit, rural and remote communities should be available at a reasonably comparable price to that charged in more densely populated areas. |
| § | The local broadband access infrastructure should be extended to the community’s public facilities, including every public learning institution, public health care facility, public library and other designated public access point. |
| § | The local broadband access infrastructure should also be extended to local business and residential users, for example, by leveraging broadband infrastructure serving public facilities. |
Through the use of dark fiber solutions and backbone like satellite broadband, to bring broadband signals to the remote communities, BPL solution delivers a true last mile, last meter distribution of the data channel to residential and commercial properties. Through the provisioning of broadband access to each community, BPL broadband to the education and health sectors aligns with the federal and provincial mandate to enable delivery of metropolitan education and health services to all Canadian communities.
The Government of Canada has estimated that educational infrastructure spending is currently $2.6 billion per year. The effectiveness of this spending must align with data technology that is reliable and scalable to bring educational and healthcare services to the 70% of communities in Canada which are unserved.
Globally, a growing number of hotels are deploying “in-building” networks that reach 100% of their guestrooms. New hotels are especially predominant in introducing this type of deployment, but older hotels are also considering 100% deployment models. Since 100% deployment is in the early stages, these are the naturally emerging hospitality models:
| § | Partial implementation (minimum 25-30% room rollout) |
In-Stat/MDR reported that by 2006 the market would approach US$286 million in annual equipment revenue. The largest contributor to this market, throughout the forecasted period, will be the North American market, specifically the United States. The strength of the U.S. market is based on:
| § | The characteristics of the U.S. hotel market: there is a large base of hotels in the U.S., with a high percentage of these properties being appropriate for in-room broadband due to size, location, and clientele. In Asia, Europe, and South America, the base of candidate properties is smaller. |
| § | Size of the business traveler audience: Over 40% of worldwide business traveler trips occur within North America. As hotel broadband, at least over the next several years, will be driven by business travelers, the North American market will be the strongest region. |
35
In North America, as demand for connectivity increases, hotels are recognizing that many guests are interested in broadband connectivity. Furthermore, as the market moves toward lower price points, and eventually an amenity service offering, and where other services are using the broadband network, it will be important for hotels to deliver a connection to every guestroom, while at the same time keeping broadband deployment and management costs low. BPL meets these business requirements by delivering quick enablement with zero room closure (meaning that a hotel considering broadband for its guests can implement it quickly, offering a valued service and earning new revenue within days).
Multi-Tenant Units/Condominiums. The multi-tenant unit market is the largest of the three target markets, both in terms of service and equipment revenue. This market offers the greatest potential for marketing high value services and, as a result, affords the greatest potential for deployment of high-end, high-cost equipment.
A study conducted by Bell Canada revealed that, in Canada alone, approximately 35% of the population lives in buildings with more than four floors. BPL, as a “no new wires” solution, is attractive from a resource, cost and time to market perspective. The Yankee Group (2001) stated that over 860,000 residential buildings and apartment complexes in the United States, accounting for approximately 60% of all businesses in the U.S., are in multi-tenant unit facilities. Instat/MDR sited a projected growth of broadband equipment sales to be over US$558 million in 2005 (from the current US$184 million). Providing high-speed internet service through this equipment is projected to US$1.8 billion in 2005.
With the pricing of traditional multi-tenant unit and multi-dwelling unit telecom equipment and services being extremely high, there is a constant search for alternative networks that can deliver at or above the current service offerings and at a lower price point. The BPL solution can capitalize on its quick installation methodology and over time deliver multiple services over the existing electrical wiring such as high-speed internet, local and long-distance voice, video and security.
Working through the hydro utilities will allow Electrolinks to capitalize on this market since many of the multi-tenant unit and multi-dwelling unit clients reside on the utilities’ electrical grid.
Governmental and Environmental Regulation
Electrolinks is subject to regulation in the United States by the FCC. FCC rules permit the operation of unlicensed digital devices that radiate radio frequency (RF) emissions if the manufacturer complies with certain equipment authorization procedures, technical requirements, marketing restrictions and product labelling requirements. Differing technical requirements apply to “Class A” devices intended for use in
commercial settings and more stringent standards apply to “Class B” devices intended for residential use. An independent, FCC-certified testing lab has verified that Electrolinks’ BPL product line complies with the FCC technical requirements for Class A and Class B digital devices. No further testing of these devices is required and same may be manufactured and marketed for commercial and residential use.
In Europe and other overseas markets, Electrolinks’ products are subject to safety and RF emissions regulations adopted by the European Union (EU) for Information Technology Equipment. In March 2005, Electrolinks received final Conformite Europeene (CE) certification, which is required for Electrolinks to freely market and sell its products within the EU. As a result of the certification, Electrolinks’ products that will be sold and installed in EU countries will bear the CE marking, a symbol that demonstrates that the product has met the EU's regulatory standards and is approved for sale in the EU.
Future products designed by Electrolinks will require testing for compliance with FCC and CE regulations. Moreover, if in the future, the FCC or EU changes its technical requirements, further testing and/or modifications may be necessary.
36
Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements and Labor Contracts
Electrolinks currently has no patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises, concessions, royalty agreements or labor contracts.
Employees
Electrolinks is a development stage company and currently has 9 contract employees. Management also uses consultants, attorneys, and accountants as necessary to assist in the conduct of its business.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Electrolinks currently leases office space at 151 Bloor St. W. Toronto, Ontario M5S 1S4. Electrolinks currently occupies approximately 3,500 square feet of designated office space, designed to provide short term/temporary accommodation solution to emerging and growing businesses. The facility allows businesses to lease spaces on a project basis or short-term lease until a more permanent solution can be sought out. Electrolinks believes the ability to expand into these facilities as the business plan is executed, will be adequate for its current requirements.
Electrolinks’ future plans will likely require more permanent additional space as its business plan progresses. If, and when, this should occur, Electrolinks will look into expansion into target markets that will be able to financially support the additional office space and manpower required.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On July 29, 2005, Electrolinks entered into an exclusive supply agreement with a technology partner (the “Partner”), a privately-held corporation based in Toronto, Ontario. On May 25, 2006, pursuant to an action filed against Electrolinks on March 22, 2006, a settlement agreement was entered into to refund $82,620 to the Partner in order to mitigate any potential ongoing litigation of which approximately $18,000 was paid to the partner in December 2006. The amount owed at June 30, 2007 was approximately $71,000 and is reflected in accrued expenses.
Electrolinks is in a commercial arbitration action with a former consultant. The former consultant is claiming unpaid fees in the amount of $118,000 pursuant to a consulting service agreement. Management
of Electrolinks believes that the services were not performed and as such Electrolinks does not owe the fees.

MANAGEMENT’S PLAN OF OPERATION
This Management's Plan of Operation and Results of Operations and other parts of this report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,” “plans,” “predicts,” and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and Electrolinks’ actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to those discussed in the subsections entitled Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Electrolinks’ financial statements and notes thereto included in this proxy statement.. All information presented herein is based on Electrolinks’ period ended June 30, 2007. Electrolinks’ fiscal year end is December 31.
General
Electrolinks’ plan of operation is to focus on the development of BPL solutions which will require $5,000,000 in funding over the next 12 months. Electrolinks is confident that these funds will be made available from debt or equity financings..
Electrolinks has historically been unable to generate sufficient cash flow from revenues to pursue its business plan and as a result has entered into a series of debt and equity transactions to sustain operations. Despite management’s efforts, Electrolinks can offer no assurance that its operations will ever produce sufficient cash flow from revenues to sustain operations and expects to continue to operate at a loss until such time as revenues from the implementation of its BPL solutions are realized.
Due to insufficient cash flow from revenues Electrolinks entered into a short term loan agreement with Aram Development Corp. on December 19, 2006, to facilitate a loan of $750,000 at 10% per annum. The repayment date for the Aram loan is September 28, 2007. Electrolinks also received financing during the six month period ended June 30, 2007 in the form of a series of promissory notes from the Corporation in the amount of $240,000 and $60,000 from a separate lender. The promissory notes each bear interest at 10% per annum and are due six months following the advance of funds. Electrolinks intends to repay the indebtedness either from revenue or future equity offerings.
Business Strategy
Electrolinks is still in the business development stage and is yet to earn substantial revenues from operations. Electrolinks may experience fluctuations in operating results in future periods due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to:
38
| § | market acceptance of the Internet and power line communication technologies as a medium for customers to purchase Electrolinks’ products, |
| § | Electrolinks’ ability to acquire and deliver high quality products at a price lower than currently available to consumers, |
| § | Electrolinks’ ability to obtain additional financing in a timely manner on terms favorable to Electrolinks, |
| § | Electrolinks’ ability to successfully attract customers at a steady rate and maintain customer satisfaction, |
| § | Electrolinks promotions, branding and sales programs, |
| § | the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to the expansion of Electrolinks’ business, operations and infrastructure, and the implementation of marketing programs, |
| § | key agreements and strategic alliances, |
| § | the number of products offered by Electrolinks, |
| § | the number of returns experienced by Electrolinks, and |
| § | general economic conditions specific to the Internet, power-line communications, and the communications industry. |
Given the unique nature of the BPL technology and its limited market penetration to date in North America, there is a need to establish a strong commercial presence and associated branding. As such, Electrolinks has established a multi-tiered market entry and growth plan incorporating the following key actions:
1. | Establish an Initial BPL Foothold |
It is critical to gain a commercial presence for BPL in North America and, in particular, a presence associated with Electrolinks. Currently, Electrolinks is leveraging several existing relationships in the hospitality market to deploy a commercial BPL installation (at minimum) in the next three months. In addition, Electrolinks is working with hydro utilities and native reservations to implement BPL as a demonstration technology.
2. | Establish Electrolinks’ BPL Center of Excellence |
A key element of Electrolinks’ strategy is to establish a North American BPL Center of Excellence. The Center of Excellence will focus on the following functions:
| § | Testing and qualifying facility for the North American use of BPL technology. |
| § | Demonstration lab for the presentation of BPL to customers, government and the media. |
| § | Training center for BPL for North America. |
In addition, Electrolinks is working with the U.S. based BPL Association in an effort to help establish a
BPL Association of Canada with Electrolinks as one of the founding members. These actions are intended to establish Electrolinks as a key player and thought leader in the evolving North American BPL market.
3. | Build out Utilities Partnership |
A relationship model with Canadian utilities is essential for success in rural regions. Electrolinks is currently working with a number of key members of several hydro utilities to define a business model that will enable broadband to BPL rural customers while also providing a new revenue stream to the hydro utilities themselves. Electrolinks expects to have several models in place within the next few months.
39
Canadian governments, at both the federal level and the provincial level, have set aside funding to ensure that all Canadians have access to high speed internet services. Electrolinks is currently working with both levels of government on how to best bring BPL technology to those regions that are currently not served. Electrolinks is also reviewing the first set of rural region requests for proposal developed by community co-ops in preparation for the planned offering for these rural co-ops.
4. | Develop the Electrolinks Sales Channel and Business Partner model |
Electrolinks’ initial market entry is through key utilities, but over time the goal is to establish partner channels to enable the significant sales volume that is expected as BPL technology gains North American momentum.
Electrolinks is establishing three major categories for partners:
| § | Utility business partners – A joint marketing and revenue sharing partner structure specifically with hydro utilities for the rural Canada market. |
| § | Technology extender partners – A program to establish partnerships with other technology providers that extend the value proposition of BPL.. These include existing partnerships, as well as future needs in potential areas such as wireless and long range fiber. |
| § | Sales channel partners – Electrolinks will establish a partner sales channel to leverage the potential of the large number of companies that are currently marketing solutions to the hospitality and multi-commercial unit markets. Electrolinks will provide a partner friendly integrated solution product that sales partners will be able to market and deploy to customers. |
Electrolinks anticipates executing on this market entry strategic plan over a period of approximately nine to twelve months.
Results of Operations
During the six month period ended June 30, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2006, Electrolinks’ operations were focused on offering BPL solutions to prospective clients, providing consulting services, and completing private funding placements to sustain operations. Since inception, Electrolinks has realized minimal revenues from operations. Since Electrolinks is in the development stage with little history of generating revenue, we cannot determine whether it will ever generate revenues from operations.
Net Losses/Income
For the period from inception to June 30, 2007, Electrolinks incurred a net loss of $4,101,208.. Net losses for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 were $898,159 as compared to $531,643 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Net losses for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $1,248,239 as compared to $1,442,048 for the year ended December 31, 2005. Electrolinks’ net losses in each of the periods are mainly attributable to general and administrative expenses.
Electrolinks expects to continue to incur losses through the year ended 2007
40
Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 were $817,453 as compared to $470,803 for the six month period ended June 30, 2006. General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $1,144,084, as compared to general and administrative expenses of $850,102 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The general and administrative expenses in each of the periods can be associated with employee compensation costs, product development costs, and professional services. Electrolinks expects that general and administrative expenses will continue to increase as Electrolinks expands its operations.
Depreciation expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 were $36,836, as compared to depreciation expenses of $39,518 for the six month period ended June 30, 2006. Depreciation expenses for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $80,311, as compared to depreciation expenses of $87,172 for the year ended December 31, 2005
Capital Expenditures
Electrolinks spent no amounts on property and equipment for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 or for the year ended December 31, 2006 or December 31, 2005.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
Electrolinks has an income tax benefit resulting from net operating losses to offset any future operating profit.
Impact of Inflation
Electrolinks believes that inflation has had a negligible effect on operations over the past three years. Electrolinks believes that it can offset inflationary increases by improving operating efficiencies.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flow used in operations was $682,522 for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $473,762 for the six month period ended June 30, 2006. Cash flow used in operations was $1,162,029 for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to cash flow used in operations of $1,080,581 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in cash flow used in operations for the six month and year end comparative periods can be primarily attributed to an increase in net losses.. Electrolinks expects to continue to use cash flow in operations until such time as it realizes sufficient revenue to overcome net losses.
Cash flow provided by financing activities was $670,229 for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $491,160 for the six month period ended June 30, 2006. Cash flow provided by financing activities was $1,170,053 for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to cash flow provided by financing activities of $1,034,843 for the year ended December 31, 2005.. Cash flow provided by financing activities during the current six month period can be attributed to debt financing, proceeds form notes payable, and amounts due to related parties. Electrolinks expects to continue to rely on cash flow provided by financing activities over the near term.
41
Cash flow used for investing activities was $1,946 for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $20,836 for the six month period ended June 30, 2006. Cash flow used in investing activities was $29,188 for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to cash flow provided by investing activities of $36,355 for the year ended December 31, 2005. Electrolinks expects to continue to use cash flow in investing activities over future periods as it expands business operations.
Electrolinks’ current assets are insufficient to conduct its plan of operation over the next twelve (12) months so it will have to seek debt or equity financing to fund operations. Electrolinks has no current commitments or arrangements with respect to, or immediate sources of funding or than the Corporation’s commitment to finance up to $5,000,000 on a best efforts basis within one year of closing the acquisition of Electrolinks. However, no assurance can be given in respect to whether the Corporation’s stockholders will approve the Agreements or that funding will be available to the Corporation on acceptable terms. Otherwise, Electrolinks’ stockholders would be the most likely source of new funding in the form of loans or equity placements though none have made any commitment for future investment and we have no agreement formal or otherwise. Electrolinks’ inability to obtain funding would have a material adverse affect on its plan of operation.
Electrolinks does not anticipate the sale or acquisition of any significant property, plant or equipment during the next twelve months, other than computer equipment and peripherals used in Electrolinks’ day-to-day operations. Electrolinks believes it has sufficient resources available to meet these acquisition needs.
Electrolinks’ management will make changes, modifications and additions to the number of employees as required by the evolving nature of the business model and anticipates the hiring of five (5) new contract employees over the next twelve months.
Electrolinks sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expended in the period incurred. Electrolinks did not incur research and development costs during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2007, the Corporation has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Going Concern
Electrolinks’ audit expressed substantial doubt as to Electrolinks’ ability to continue as a going concern as a result of continuing losses, negative cash flow from operations, and a working capital deficit of $1,232,818 as of December 31, 2006, which increased to $2,121,502 at June 30, 2007.. The continuation of Electrolinks’ operations is dependent upon the financial support of creditors and stockholders, obtaining short and long term financing, and achieving profitability through facilitating sales and providing support services for BPL products it sells to its customers. These conditions and dependencies raise substantial doubt about Electrolinks’ ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s plans to address Electrolinks’ ability to continue as a going concern by focusing on generating increased sales from operations. The successful development cannot be determined at this time, and there is no assurance that, if achieved, that Electrolinks’ would then have sufficient funds to execute its intended business plan or generate positive operating results.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
During the past five years, none of our directors, executive officers, promoters, control persons, or nominees has been:
| § | the subject of any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; |
| § | convicted in a criminal proceeding or is subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); |
| § | subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or |
| § | found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law. |
Number of Board Meetings
During the year ended September 30, 2006 and the nine month period ended June 30, 2007, our board of directors had no meetings.. However, our sole director did approve numerous board resolutions during that period.
Security Holder Communications with the Board of Directors
The board of directors has established a process to receive communications from security holders. Security holders and other interested parties may contact the board of directors, or, when we have more than one director, any of the members of the board of directors, by mail or electronically. To communicate with the board of directors, any individual directors or any group or committee of directors, correspondence should be addressed to the board of directors or any such individual directors or group or committee of directors by either name or title. All such correspondence should be sent “c/o Secretary” at High End Ventures, Inc., 2610-1066 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 3X2.
All communications received as set forth in the preceding paragraph will be opened by the Corporation’s Secretary for the sole purpose of determining whether the contents represent a message to the directors.. Any contents that are not in the nature of advertising, promotions of a product or service, patently offensive material or matters deemed inappropriate for the board of directors will be forwarded promptly to the addressee. In the case of communications to the board of directors or any group or committee of directors, the Corporation’s Secretary will make sufficient copies (or forward such information in the case of e-mail) of the contents to send to each director who is a member of the group or committee to which the envelope is addressed.
Policy With Regard to Board Members’ Attendance at Annual Meetings
It is the Corporation’s policy that members of the board of directors are invited and encouraged to attend all of the Corporation’s annual meetings. The Corporation had no annual meetings during the year ended September 30, 2006 or during the nine month period ended June 30, 2007.
45
Board of Directors Committees
The board of directors has not established an audit committee or a compensation committee. An audit committee typically reviews, acts on and reports to the board of directors with respect to various auditing and accounting matters, including the recommendations and performance of independent auditors, the scope of the annual audits, fees to be paid to the independent auditors, and internal accounting and financial control policies and procedures. Certain stock exchanges currently require companies to adopt a formal written charter that establishes an audit committee that specifies the scope of an audit committee’s responsibilities and the means by which it carries out those responsibilities. In order to be listed on any of these exchanges, the Corporation will be required to establish an audit committee.
The board of directors has not established a nominating committee because the board of directors has determined that the board of directors, consisting of only one individual, can efficiently and effectively fulfill this function by using a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating nominees for director, including candidates that may be referred by the Corporation’s stockholders. Stockholders who desire to recommend candidates for evaluation may do so by contacting the Corporation in writing, identifying the potential candidate and providing background information. Candidates may also come to the attention of the board of directors through current members of the board of directors, professional search firms and other persons. In evaluating potential candidates, the board of directors takes into account a number of factors, including among others, the following:
| § | independence from management; |
| § | whether the candidate has relevant business experience; |
| § | judgment, skill, integrity and reputation; |
| § | existing commitments to other businesses; |
| § | corporate governance background; |
| § | financial and accounting background, to enable the board of directors to determine whether the candidate would be suitable for audit committee membership; and |
| § | the size and composition of the board of directors. |
The Corporation plans to establish a nominating committee in the event that three directors are elected to the board of directors. At such time, the nominating committee will develop a charter.
Board of Directors Compensation
The Corporation’s sold director is not reimbursed for out-of-pocket costs incurred in attending meetings and receives any compensation for services rendered as a director. We will most likely adopt a provision for compensating directors in the future.
CODE OF ETHICS
The Corporation has adopted a Code of Ethics within the meaning of Item 406(b) of Regulation S-B of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Code of Ethics applies to directors and senior officers, such as the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, controller, and persons performing similar functions. The Corporation’s Code of Ethics is available in print, at no charge, to any security holder who requests such information by contacting the Corporation.
46
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT
Based solely upon a review of Forms 3, 4 and 5 furnished to the Corporation, the Corporation is aware of the following individuals or entities who during the period ended September 30, 2006 were directors, officers, or beneficial owners of more than ten percent of the common stock of the Corporation, and who failed to file, on a timely basis, reports required by Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934:
| § | Thomas Forzani failed to file on Forms 3 and/or 5. |
| § | Joseph H. Montgomery failed to file on Forms 3 and/or 5. |
| § | Nadir Walji failed to file on Forms 3 and/or 5. |
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
We currently offer no salaries or benefits to our sole executive officer.
The objective of the Corporation’s compensation program will be to provide compensation for services rendered by employees. The Corporation’s salaries will be designed to retain the services of employees. Salary may be the only type of compensation we use in our compensation program. We will likely use this form of compensation because we feel that it will be adequate to retain and motivate our employees. The amount we deem appropriate to compensate our employees will be determined in accordance with market forces; we will have no specific formula to determine compensatory amounts. While we believe that this type of compensatory program and the decisions regarding compensation will be easy to administer and will be appropriately suited for our objectives, we may expand our compensation program to any additional future employees to include options and other compensatory elements.

HIGH END VENTURES, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS AT JUNE 30, 2007
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The interim financial statements of High End Ventures, Inc. (the Company) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 are not audited. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements for unaudited interim periods, and consequently do not include all disclosures required to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2007 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year period.
NOTE 2 – NATURE AND PURPOSE OF BUSINESS
High End Ventures, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on January 19, 1999. The Company’s activities to date have been limited to organization and capital formation. The Company is “a development stage company” and has not yet determined the nature of its business activities. The Company has elected September 30 as the end of its fiscal year.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles that contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.
The Company has incurred losses since its inception and has not yet been successful in establishing profitable operations. These factors raise considerable doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Continuance of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon receiving additional working capital through loans and/or additional sales of the Company’s common stock. There is no assurance that the Company will succeed in raising this additional capital or achieving profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

HIGH END VENTURES, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS AT JUNE 30, 2007
NOTE 4 – NATURE OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company considers revenue to be recognized at the time the service is performed.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s short-term financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value because of their short-term maturities. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash. During the year the Company did not maintain cash deposits at financial institution in excess of the $100,000 limit covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes nor does it hold or issue interest rate or leveraged derivative financial instruments.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic Earnings per Share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year plus potential dilutive instruments such as stock options and warrant. The effect of stock options on diluted EPS is determined through the application of the treasury stock method, whereby proceeds received by the Company based on assumed exercises are hypothetically used to repurchase the Company’s common stock at the average market price during the period. Loss per share is unchanged on a diluted basis since the assumed exercise of common stock equivalents would have an anti-dilutive effect.
FA-6
HIGH END VENTURES, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS AT JUNE 30, 2007
INCOME TAXES
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes as required by SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”. SFAS 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of certain assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on enacted tax laws and 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. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period, plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of the assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company had no significant deferred tax items arise during any of the periods presented.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK:
The Company does not have any concentration of related financial credit risk.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
The Company does not expect that the adoption of other recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impact to its financial statements.
NOTE 5 – LOAN RECEIVABLE
The Company loaned The Electrolinks Corporation (see Note 9) $239,221 USD. This loan is secured and bears interest at a rate of 10% and is repayable upon demand. At June 30, 2007 interest of $4,812 had been accrued on this loan.
NOTE 6 – MINERAL CLAIM
The Company entered into an agreement on October 31, 2005 to acquire a 100% interest in a mineral claim located in the Victoria Mining District in British Columbia, Canada. The claim was acquired for $5,000 in cash and 600,000 shares of common stock valued at $12,000. The purchase price of the claim approximated the historical cost basis of the previous owner of the claim. Management has made a determination that the cost of the mineral claim will not be recovered and therefore the purchase price of $17,000 has been charged to current operations as exploration costs.

AS AT JUNE 30, 2007
NOTE 7– SHORT TERM LOANS PAYABLE – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company borrowed $250,000 and $10,000 from third parties to assist with working capital needs. The loan of $250,000 bears interest at a rate of 10%. At June 30, 2007 interest of $5,386 had been accrued on this loan. The loan of $10,000 is an interest free, unsecured, demand loan.. The Company also borrowed $107 from a stockholder as an interest free, unsecured, demand loan.
NOTE 8 – COMMON STOCK
In February of 1999, the Company issued 500,000 shares in exchange for services valued at $500.
In September 2005, the Company issued 1,750,000 shares of cash and stock subscriptions receivable to individuals at a value of $.02 per share.
In October of 2005, the Company issued 600,000 shares for the purchase of mineral claims at a value of $.02 per share.
On April 10, 2006, the Company issued 320,000 shares of common stock valued at $.05 per share for cash in the amount of $16,000.
On September 2, 2006, management authorized a 5 for 1 forward split of the outstanding shares of common stock. This split has been applied retroactively in the financial statements as if the split had occurred at inception of the Company.
NOTE 9 – ACQUISITION OF THE ELECTROLINKS CORPORATION
On December 19, 2006, the stockholders of the Company voted to execute an agreement whereby the Company would acquire 100% of the outstanding ownership or right to ownership of The Electrolinks Corporation. The Electrolinks Corporation was incorporated in Ontario, Canada on March 24, 2004 and is focused on “Smart Grid” applications for power utilities and buildings in addition to delivering Broadband over Power Line services over any form of existing electrical infrastructure.
Upon the terms of the agreement, the Company intends to exchange an aggregate of 20,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for an aggregate of 41,000,000 shares of Electrolinks on a pro rata basis. This agreement was scheduled to close on or before March 5, 2007 but has not been closed as of August 3, 2007. The closing of the transaction remains subject to both companies’ stockholders approvals and full satisfaction of the disclosure requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
On consummation of the transaction Electrolinks would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the stockholders of Electrolinks would hold a controlling interest in the Company. Upon closing of the transaction, the exchange would be treated as a reverse merger with Electrolinks being the accounting acquirer.

High End Ventures, Inc.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED ACCOUNTING FIRM
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of High End Ventures, Inc. as of September 30, 2006 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005 and for the period from January 19, 1999 (date of inception) to September 30, 2006. 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 audit.
We conducted our audit 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 High End Ventures, Inc. as of September 30, 2006 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 and for the period from January 19, 1999 (date of inception) to September 30, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 5 to the financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $ 49,524 since inception, has not attained profitable operations and is dependent upon obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its exploration activities. These factors raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 5. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

HIGH END VENTURES, INC.
(AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2006
NOTE 1 – NATURE AND PURPOSE OF BUSINESS
High End Ventures, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on January 19, 1999. The Company’s activities to date have been limited to organization and capital formation. The Company is “an exploration stage company” and has not yet determined the nature of its business activities. The Company has elected September 30 as the end of its fiscal year.
NOTE 2 – NATURE OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company considers revenue to be recognized at the time the service is performed.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s short-term financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value because of their short-term maturities. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash. During the year the Company did not maintain cash deposits at financial institution in excess of the $100,000 limit covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes nor does it hold or issue interest rate or leveraged derivative financial instruments.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic Earnings per Share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year plus potential dilutive instruments such as stock options and warrant. The effect of stock options on diluted EPS is determined through the application of the treasury stock method, whereby proceeds received by the Company based on assumed exercises are hypothetically used to repurchase the Company’s common stock at the average market price during the period. Loss per share is unchanged on a diluted basis since the assumed exercise of common stock equivalents would have an anti-dilutive effect.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2006
NOTE 2 – NATURE OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
INCOME TAXES:
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes as required by SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”.. SFAS 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of certain assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on enacted tax laws and 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. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period, plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expanse items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of the assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company had no significant deferred tax items arise during any of the periods presented.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK:
The Company does not have any concentration of related financial credit risk.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
The Company does not expect that the adoption of other recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impact to its financial statements.
NOTE 3 – COMMON STOCK
In February of 1999, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares to an individual for services rendered to the Company valued at $.0002 per share.
In September of 2005, the Company issued 8,750,000 shares of common stock and stock subscriptions to individuals at a value of $.004 per share.
In October of 2005, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of common stock to acquire mineral claims at a value of $.004 per share.
In April of 2006, the Company issued 1,600,000 shares of common stock for cash valued at $.01 per share.

NOTE 3 – COMMON STOCK - continued
On September 2, 2006, management authorized a 5 for 1 forward split of the outstanding shares of common stock. This split has been applied retroactively in the financial statements as if the split had occurred at inception of the Company.
NOTE 4 – MINERAL CLAIM
The Company entered into an agreement on October 31, 2005 to acquire a 100% interest in a mineral claim located in the Victoria Mining District in British Columbia, Canada.. The claim was acquired for $5,000 in cash and 3,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $12,000. The purchase price of the claim approximated the historical cost basis of the previous owner of the claim. Management has made a determination that the cost of the mineral claim will not be recovered and therefore the purchase price of $17,000 has been charged to current operations as exploration costs.
NOTE 5 – 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 no sales and has incurred a net loss of $49,524 since inception. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations form the development of its mineral properties. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classifications of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007
1. | Nature of Business, Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
Nature of business - The Electrolinks Corporation (the “Company” or “Electrolinks”) has been continued pursuant to the Canada Corporations Act and was incorporated on March 23, 2004 in the Province of Ontario under the Ontario Business Corporations Act.
The Company will utilize Broadband over Powerline (“BPL”) products from several vendors to provide BPL solutions to electrical utilities and multiple dwelling unit buildings and is in the process of obtaining an agreement with a manufacturer of BPL products to produce the Company’s own brand of products. BPL is a technology that delivers high-speed data over existing electric power delivery networks and is an alternative means of providing high-speed Internet access, voice over Internet Protocol (“VOlP”), and other broadband services, using medium and low-voltage power lines to reach customers’ homes and businesses.
Going concern - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses of approximately $1,248,000 and $1,442,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and has experienced negative cash flows from operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 in the approximate amount of $1,162,000. At June 30, 2007, the Company had a working capital deficiency of approximately $2,122,000 and a loss of approximately $898,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007.The Company's future revenues are dependent on facilitating sales and providing support services for BPL products it sells to its customers. These factors among others raise substantial doubt about the Company'sability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
The financial statements presented herein do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should Electrolinks be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company plans to raise funding for working capital requirements from a private investment group.
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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.
Financial instruments - The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, representing accounts receivable, amounts due from and to related party, accounts payable, accrued expenses and debt approximates their fair value.
Cash and cash equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase. For these instruments, the carrying amount is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value. The Company places substantially all cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions in Canada.

Foreign currency translation - The financial statements are denominated in United States currency. As such, the accounts of the Company were translated into United States dollars in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 52, transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements' assets and liabilities from their functional currency (Canadian dollars) to United States dollars at the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date is recorded in other accumulated comprehensive income (loss) as a component of stockholders' equity (deficiency). Statement of operation items are translated at average rates of exchange during each reporting period.
Accounts receivable - Accounts receivable are stated in the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to trade accounts receivable. Changes in the valuation allowance have not been material to the financial statements.
Equipment - Equipment purchased in the normal course of business is stated at cost and equipment acquired in business combinations is stated at its fair market value at the acquisition date. All equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives.
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of equipment are removed from the accounts upon retirement or other disposition and any resultant gain or loss is reflected in the Statement of Operations.
Long-lived assets - The Company reviews the recoverability of long-lived intangible assets when circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. This evaluation is based on various analyses including undiscounted cash flow projections. In the event undiscounted cash flow projections indicate impairment, the Company would record an impairment based on the fair value of the assets at the date of the impairment. The Company accounts for impairments under the SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets."
Revenue recognition - Sales represent the invoiced value of products supplied to customers. Sales are recognized upon the passage of title to the customers.
Research and development - Research and development costs are charged to operations in the period incurred. The Company did not incur research and development costs during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

Income taxes - The Company uses SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", to account for income taxes. This statement requires an asset and liability approach that recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, all expected future events, other than enactments of changes in the tax law or rates, are generally considered. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is "more likely than not" that recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized (see Note 5).
Loss per share - Basic loss per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and any potentially dilutive securities. During 2007, there were no potentially dilutive securities including stock options, warrants to purchase common stock and preferred stock.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Financial Interpretation ("FIN") No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of SFAS No. 109”.. FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes". FIN No. 48 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In addition, FIN No. 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The provisions of FIN No. 48 are to be applied to all tax positions upon initial adoption of this standard. Only tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit (or other appropriate components of equity) for that fiscal year. The provisions of FIN No. 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of FIN No. 48, but does not currently expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements". SFAS No. 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. It also responds to investors’ requests for expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, and does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 157, but does not currently expect the adoption of this new standard will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In September, 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 108, to address diversity in practice in quantifying financial statement misstatements. SAB 108 requires that the Company quantify misstatements based on their impact on each of its financial statements and related disclosures. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The Company has adopted SAB 108 effective as of January 31, 2007. The adoption of this bulletin did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In May, 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections", which changes the requirements for the accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle, as well as to changes required by an accounting pronouncement that does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS No. 154 requires that changes in accounting principle be retrospectively applied. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. SFS No. 154 has not had a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
During 2007 and 2006, advances were made and services were provided by MBS Group, a corporation that is owned and controlled by a stockholder of the Company. MBS Group charged the Company management fees of $ -0- and $150,000 during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The sole stockholder of MBS Group elected to redefine the obligation to MBS Group in the approximate amount of $473,000 as additional paid-in capital to the Company effective September 30, 2006 and was included as issued shares of common stock. The amount owed to MBS Group was approximately $25,000 and $373,000 as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
E-Power Links, a corporation that is owned and controlled by a stockholder of the Company, was owed approximately $71,000 at June 30, 2007.
Additional funds are owed to other stockholders in the approximate amount of $531,000 and $148,000 as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The stockholders provided various consulting services to the Company in the approximate amount of $295,000 and $247,000 during the six-months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The promissory notes each bear interest at 10% per annum and are due six months following the advance of funds.
As of June 30, 2007, there were no significant differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company has accumulated net operating tax losses in the amount of approximately $3.2 million at December 31, 2006 which are available to be applied against future years’ taxable income and will begin to expire in 2014. However, due to the losses incurred in the period and expected future operating results, management determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset resulting from the tax losses available for carryforward will not be realized through the reduction of future income tax payments. Accordingly, a 100% valuation allowance has been recorded for deferred income tax assets as of June 30, 2007.

As an incentive for two vendors to enter into a service contract to provide administrative services to the Company, the Company has tendered stock options. The stock options are exercisable at $.25 per option with an expiration of April, 2009. At the signing of the service contract, 1,000,000 options were issued to one vendor (“vendor A”) and 750,000 options were issued to the second vendor (“vendor B”).
The contract provides at the end of the first year of the contract (February 28, 2007) that each vendor is entitled to 750,000 options and at the end of the second year an additional 500,000 options.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Stockholders of
The Electrolinks Corporation
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of The Electrolinks Corporation (incorporated in Canada) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficiency), 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 The Electrolinks Corporation as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and 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, the Company has incurred net losses and has a working capital deficiency. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1. | Nature of Business, Significant Accounting Policies, and Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
Nature of business – The Electrolinks Corporation (the “Company” or “Electrolinks”) has been continued pursuant to the Canada Corporations Act and was incorporated on March 23, 2004 in the Province of Ontario under the Ontario Business Corporations Act.
The Company utilizes Broadband over Powerline (“BPL”) products from several vendors to provide BPL solutions to electrical utilities and multiple dwelling unit buildings and is in the process of obtaining an agreement with a manufacturer of BPL products to produce the Company’s own brand of products. BPL is a technology that delivers high-speed data over existing electric power delivery networks and is an alternative means of providing high-speed Internet access, voice over Internet Protocol (“VOlP”), and other broadband services, using medium and low-voltage power lines to reach customers’ homes and businesses.
Going concern - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses of approximately $1,248,000 and $1,442,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and has experienced negative cash flows from operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 in the approximate amount of $1,162,000. At December 31, 2006, the Company had a working capital deficiency of approximately $1,233,000.The Company's future revenues are dependent on facilitating sales and providing support services for BPL products it sells to its customers. These factors among others raise substantial doubt about the Company'sability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
The financial statements presented herein do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should Electrolinks be unable to continue as a going concern. In order to address these issues, the Company has entered into an agreement that will provide funding for working capital requirements in the amount of $5,000,000 form a private investment group and intends to raise additional capital through equity financing.
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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.
Financial instruments - The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, representing accounts receivable, amounts due from and to related party, accounts payable, accrued expenses and debt approximates their fair value.

Foreign currency translation - The financial statements are denominated in United States currency. As such, the accounts of the Company were translated into United States dollars in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”.. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 52, transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements' assets and liabilities from their functional currency (Canadian dollars) to United States dollars at the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date is recorded in other accumulated comprehensive income (loss) as a component of stockholders' equity (deficiency). Statement of operation items are translated at average rates of exchange during each reporting period.
Cash and cash equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase. For these instruments, the carrying amount is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value. The Company places substantially all cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions in Canada.
Accounts receivable - Accounts receivable are stated in the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to trade accounts receivable. Changes in the valuation allowance have not been material to the financial statements.
Equipment - Equipment purchased in the normal course of business is stated at cost and equipment acquired in business combinations is stated at its fair market value at the acquisition date. All equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives.
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of equipment are removed from the accounts upon retirement or other disposition and any resultant gain or loss is reflected in the Statement of Operations.
Long-lived assets - The Company reviews the recoverability of long-lived intangible assets when circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. This evaluation is based on various analyses including undiscounted cash flow projections. In the event undiscounted cash flow projections indicate impairment, the Company would record an impairment based on the fair value of the assets at the date of the impairment. The Company accounts for impairments under the SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”
Revenue recognition - Sales represent the invoiced value of products supplied to customers. Sales are recognized upon the passage of title to the customers.

Research and development - Research and development costs are charged to operations in the year incurred. The Company incurred research and development costs of approximately $- 0 - and $21,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Income taxes - The Company uses SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, to account for income taxes. This statement requires an asset and liability approach that recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, all expected future events, other than enactments of changes in the tax law or rates, are generally considered. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely than not” that recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized (see Note 5).
Loss per share - Basic loss per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and any potentially dilutive securities. During 2006 and 2005, there were no potentially dilutive securities including stock options, warrants to purchase common stock and preferred stock.
| Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Financial Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of SFAS No. 109”.. FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”.. FIN No. 48 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In addition, FIN No. 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The provisions of FIN No. 48 are to be applied to all tax positions upon initial adoption of this standard. Only tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized or continue to be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated deficit (or other appropriate components of equity) for that fiscal year. The provisions of FIN No. 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of FIN No. 48, but does not currently expect the adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. It also responds to investors’ requests for expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS No. 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, and does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In September, 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 108, to address diversity in practice in quantifying financial statement misstatements. SAB 108 requires that the Company quantify misstatements based on their impact on each of its financial statements and related disclosures. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The Company has adopted SAB 108 effective as of January 31, 2007. The adoption of this bulletin did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In May, 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections”, which changes the requirements for the accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle, as well as to changes required by an accounting pronouncement that does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS No. 154 requires that changes in accounting principle be retrospectively applied. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. SFS No. 154 has not had a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
The Company restated and reclassified certain items in the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements for the 2005 presentation to be in conformity with 2006. There was no financial impact by these changes.
During 2006 and 2005, advances were made and services were provided by MBS Group, a corporation that is owned and controlled by a stockholder of the Company. MBS Group provided additional funds to the Company in the approximate amount of $275,000 and charged the Company management fees of approximately $198,000 during 2006 and $250,000 during 2005. The sole stockholder of MBS Group elected to redefine the obligation to MBS Group in the approximate amount of $473,000 as additional paid-in capital to the Company effective September 30, 2006 and was included as issued shares of common stock. The amount owed to MBS Group was approximately $17,000 as of December 31, 2006 and 2005.
E-Power Links, a corporation that is owned and controlled by a stockholder of the Company, was owed approximately $45,000 at December 31, 2006. E-Power Links received finance and consulting fees from the Company in the approximate amount of $137,000 for obtaining financing and an investor.
Additional funds are owed to other stockholders in the approximate amount of $211,000 and $115,000 as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The stockholders provided various consulting services to the Company in the approximate amount of $123,000 and $139,000 during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The Company obtained financing on December 19, 2006 from a private lender, an unrelated party, in the amount of $750,000 of which $743,552 was outstanding at December 31, 2006 after recording a currency translation loss in the amount of $6,448. The loan bears interest at 10% per annum payable upon repaying of the principal on June15, 2007. The loan is secured by a general security agreement creating a security interest in all of the Company’s personal property.
The Company had a loan obligation to 1493367 Ontario Ltd, an unrelated party, in the approximate amount of $322,000 as of December 31, 2005.. The loan had an annual interest rate of 12% with monthly payments of interest only. The loan was due in full on January 11, 2006. The Company did not repay the principal amount due in January 2006, but continued to make monthly installments of interest payments. The Company obtained alternative financing and paid off the loan obligation in December 2006.
As of December 31, 2006, there were no significant differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Company has accumulated net operating tax losses in the amount of approximately $3.2 million at December 31, 2006 which are available to be applied against future year’s taxable income and will begin to expire in 2014. However, due to the losses incurred in the period and expected future operating results, management determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset resulting from the tax losses available for carryforward will not be realized through the reduction of future income tax payments. Accordingly, a 100% valuation allowance has been recorded for deferred income tax assets as of December 31, 2006 and 2005.

As an incentive for two vendors to enter into a service contract to provide administrative services to the Company, the Company has tendered stock options. The stock options are exercisable at $.25 per option with an expiration of April, 2009. At the signing of the service contract, 500,000 options were issued to each vendor.
The contract provides at the end of the first year of the contract (February 28, 2007) each vendor is entitled to 750,000 options and at the end of the second year an additional 500,000 options. The options vest in equal installments over the two year period. The service contract also includes performance base option incentives. In addition, either party can terminate the service contract based on timely notification and re-numeration.

JUNE 30, 2007
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF TRANSACTION
On September 18, 2007, High End Ventures, Inc. entered into a Business Combination Agreement with The Electrolinks Corporation, to acquire 100% ownership of The Electrolinks Corporation, in exchange for an aggregate of 21,584,183, whereby The Electrolinks Corporation intends to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of High End Ventures, Inc.
For purposes of this proforma consolidated balance sheet, the acquisition has been accounted for as a recapitalization using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to reverse acquisitions with The Electrolinks Corporation (the legal subsidiary) being treated as the accounting parent (acquirer) and High End Ventures, Inc. (the legal parent) being treated as the accounting subsidiary (acquiree). Under reverse acquisition accounting the value assigned to the common stock of consolidated High End Ventures, Inc. on Acquisition of The Electrolinks Corporation will be equal to the book value of the common stock of The Electrolinks Corporation plus the book value of the net assets of High End Ventures, Inc. as at the date of acquisition, less costs of the transaction.
NOTE 2 – MANAGEMENT’S ASSUMPTIONS
The pro forma balance sheets and statements of operations assume the two companies were consolidated as of June 30, 2007.
NOTE 3 – PROFORMA ADJUSTMENTS
The adjustments to the proforma balance sheet and income statement are to record the issuance of 21,584,183 shares of common stock of High End Ventures, Inc. in a reverse acquisition. High End Ventures, Inc. had no fair value assigned to its net assets. Therefore, the stock was effectively issued at High End Ventures, Inc.’s par value of $0.001.
