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.
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.
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.
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 anticipates executing on this market entry strategic plan over a period of approximately nine to twelve months.
During the nine month period ended September 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 September 30, 2007, Electrolinks incurred a net loss of $4,270,940. Net losses for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 were $1,067,891 as compared to $707,252 for the nine months ended September 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 2008.
Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 were $951,262 as compared to $624,275 for the nine month period ended September 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 nine month period ended September 30, 2007 were $56,698, as compared to depreciation expenses of $48,453 for the nine month period ended September 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 $23,829 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 and $18,726 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006. Capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $29,188 and $109,567 for 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 $783,869 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $571,848 for the nine month period ended September 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 nine 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.
39
Cash flow used for investing activities was $23,829 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $18,726 for the nine month period ended September 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.
Cash flow provided by financing activities was $818,949 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to $701,294 for the nine month period ended September 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 nine month period can be attributed to debt financing, proceeds form notes payable, and amounts from related parties. Electrolinks expects to continue to rely on cash flow provided by financing activities over the near term.
Electrolinks obtained financing on December 19, 2006 from Aram Development Corp., an unrelated party, in an aggregate amount of $750,000 of which $50,000 was repaid in 2007. The loan had accumulated $6,000 in interest as of September 30, 2007. The loan is secured by a general security agreement creating a security interest in all of Electrolinks’ personal property and is guaranteed by a significant stockholder. The loan is currently in default.
During 2007, Electrolinks received financing in the form of a series of promissory notes from the Corporation in the amount of approximately $255,000 and from another lender in the approximate amount of $45,000, which had accrued interest of approximately $15,000 as of September 30, 2007. The promissory notes each bear interest at 10% per annum.Certain of the notes are in default.
During 2007, Electrolinks also received financing in the form of a series of promissory notes in the approximate amount of $200,000 from an organization in which a shareholder of Electrolinks has an ownership interest. The notes bear interest at 12% per annum, payable monthly. The interest rate increased to 36% because they were not paid off by their respective due dates. Accrued interest was approximately $3,000 at September 30, 2007.
Electrolinks also has amounts due to several related parties for advances and services. At September 30, 2007, $27,000 is due to MBS Group, a corporation that is owned and controlled by a shareholder of Electrolinks, approximately $44,000 is due to E-Power Links, a corporation that is owned and controlled by a shareholder of Electrolinks, and $609,000 is owed other stockholders.
On December 31, 2007 Electrolinks entered into a Funding and Revenue Sharing Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit C) with an unrelated partnership whereby the partnership will share certain expenses incurred by Electrolinks. The aggregate amount of the partnership’s share of expenses shall be equal to the lesser of the following amounts: a) $4,600,000 Canadian (“gross proceeds”) and b) the amount of the Company’s losses allowed as provided to and assessed by the Canada Revenue Agency through December 31, 2007. The partnership agrees to pay to Electrolinks at closing 25% of the gross proceeds, approximately $1,150,000, with the remaining balance to be paid by assignment by the partnership to Electrolinks in promissory notes totaling $3,450,000. The promissory notes in the amount of $3,450,000 will be recorded as notes receivable (“notes”) on Electrolinks’ financial statements after settlement. The
closing of this transaction is expected to be no later than February 15, 2008. The notes will bear interest at the prescribed interest rate under section 143.2 of Canada’s Income Tax Act. Interest on the notes will be payable annually by February 15 after each year from December 31, 2008 until December 31, 2012. Commencing December 31, 2013 until 2017, principal payments on the notes will be due on February 15 following each year in equal installments of one-fifth of the balance of the principal owing on the notes. The notes mature February 15, 2018.
40
As consideration for agreeing to share those expenses, Electrolinks will pay to the partnership an Annual Revenue Fee (“ARF”) equal to 10% of its aggregate gross revenues for a period of ten years commencing January 1, 2008. The fee will be payable by February 15 after each year. Electrolinks has an option to apply the ARF first against the notes’ accrued interest and then against any remaining principal owed by the partnership to Electrolinks on the notes, in lieu of payment of the ARF.
Electrolinks has the right to convert the ARF into common shares as follows: 1) after December 31, 2013 equal to ten percent of the number of issued and outstanding shares; and 2) prior to December 31, 2013, per the Early Conversion Right, into common shares with a value of $2,300,000 or a payment in cash in the amount of $2,300,000. If Electrolinks defaults, the general partner of the partnership, in its sole discretion, may elect to convert the notes subject to the Early Conversion Right.
As part of this transaction, Electrolinks will pay closing costs to the partnership based on 10% of the gross proceeds, approximately $460,000. In addition Electrolinks engaged a consultant to assist in this transaction. The consultant is entitled to a commission based on 5% of the gross proceeds, approximately $230,000 and five year warrants that would equal up to 5% of the equity value equal to 5% of the gross revenue shared by the partnership.
This transaction is estimated to result in $460,000 proceeds, net of commissions and closing costs, to Electrolinks at settlement.
Electrolinks had a working capital deficit of $2,381,871 as of September 30, 2007 compared to a working capital deficit of $1,232,803 as of December 31, 2006. The current deficit in working capital in addition to anticipated increases in operational cash flow indicate that Electrolinks has insufficient funds to meet its obligations or to conduct its plan of operation over the next twelve (12) months.
Electrolinks will have to seek debt or equity financing in the near term. Electrolinks’ only current commitments or arrangements with respect to, or immediate sources of funding is the financing anticipated from the execution of the Funding and Revenue Sharing Agreement and the Corporation’s commitment to finance up to $5,000,000 on a best efforts basis within one year of acquiring Electrolinks. However, no assurance can be given that the Corporation’s stockholders will approve the Agreements or that the anticipated funding will be available to the Corporation. Should either or both of these funding commitments fail to materialize 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 to date for future investment. Electrolinks’ inability to obtain funding would have a material adverse affect on its ability to pursue 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 nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.
41
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 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 $2,381,871 at September 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 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.

During the year ended September 30, 2007 our board of directors had no meetings. However, our sole director did approve numerous board resolutions during that period.
44
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 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
Members of the board of directors are invited and encouraged to attend the Corporation’s annual meeting. The Corporation had no annual meeting during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007.
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 would 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.
45
Board of Directors Compensation
The Corporation’s sole director is not reimbursed for out-of-pocket costs incurred in attending meetings and receives no 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.
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, 2007 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
The objective of the Corporation’s compensation program is to provide compensation for services rendered as an executive officer. The Corporation’s consulting fees are designed to retain the services of our executive officer. Consulting fees are currently the only type of compensation utilized in our compensation program. We utilize this form of compensation because we feel that it is adequate to retain and motivate our executive officer. The amounts we deem appropriate to compensate our executive officer are determined in accordance with market forces; we have no specific formula to determine compensatory amounts at this time. While we have deemed that our current compensatory program and
the decisions regarding compensation are easy to administer and are appropriately suited for our objectives, we may expand our compensation program to future employees to include stock awards, options and other compensatory elements.
Table
The following table provides summary information for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007 concerning cash and non-cash compensation paid or accrued by the Corporation to or on behalf of (i) the chief executive officer and (ii) any other employee to receive compensation in excess of $100,000.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of High End Ventures, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of High End Ventures, Inc. (a Development Stage Company) as of September 30, 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and for the period from the date of inception on January 19, 1999 to September 30, 2007. High End Venture’s management is responsible for these financial statements. 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. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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. (a Development Stage Company) as of September 30, 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and for the period from the date of inception on January 19, 1999 to September 30, 2007 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 a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of $225,024 since inception and has not attained profitable operations and is dependent upon obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its planned business activity. 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 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
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 was previously engaged in exploration activities designed to identify economically viable deposits of precious metals, which activities were unsuccessful and have since been abandoned. During the final quarter of fiscal 2006 the Company decided to switch its attention to alternative business opportunities.
On September 21, 2006 the Company executed a letter of intent to acquire The Electrolinks Corporation (“Electrolinks”), a Toronto, Ontario based development stage company intending on providing “Smart Grid” applications for power utilities and buildings that will deliver Broadband over Power Line (BPL) services utilizing any form of existing electrical infrastructure. The Company executed a formal Securities Exchange Agreement and Plan of Exchange on October 23, 2006 to acquire 100% of the outstanding ownership of Electrolinks. Due to legal considerations relevant to the structure of the anticipated transaction, the Company and Electrolinks mutually agreed not to proceed with the agreement on September 18, 2007.
On September 18, 2007, the Company and Electrolinks executed a Business Combination Agreement and an Amalgamation Agreement in order to transact the acquisition of Electrolinks through the amalgamation of Power Grid Networks Ltd. (“Power Grid”) (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) and Electrolinks.
The Amalgamation Agreement provides for the following actions:
| (a) | to amalgamate Power Grid and Electrolinks; |
| (b) | to exchange two Electrolinks shares for one share of the Company; |
| (c) | to exchange shares of Power Grid with the Company on a one for one basis for each share issued by the Company to acquire Electrolinks shares; and |
| (d) | to continue the business of Electrolinks through Power Grid. |
The agreement anticipates the amalgamation of Electrolinks and Power Grid, entitling each stockholder of Electrolinks to one share of the common stock of the Company in exchange for two shares of the common stock of Electrolinks up to an aggregate of 21,584,183 shares of the Company for 43,168,366 shares of Electrolinks.
The Electrolinks stockholders will acquire approximately 57.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company following the closing of the transaction. For accounting purposes, the transaction will be treated as a reverse merger with Electrolinks being the accounting acquirer and the go-forward financial statements will reflect Electrolinks’ history from its inception. The closing of the transaction is expected to take place as soon as is practicable subject to shareholder approval of the transaction and full satisfaction of the disclosure requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The transaction has not obtained the requisite shareholder approvals as of the date of this report.
The Company has elected September 30 as the end of its fiscal year.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 2 – NATURE OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements of High End Ventures, Inc. (the Company) for the years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) and are expressed in US dollars. The financial statements have been prepared under the guidelines of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”. A development stage enterprise is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if its operations have commenced, there have been no significant revenues therefrom. As of September 30, 2007, the Company has not commenced its planned principal operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a stated maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2007, cash consists of balances held with financial institutions. Cash is deposited in institutions that are generally federally insured in limited amounts.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those 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. At September 30 2007 and 2006 the Company did not have any potentially dilutive instruments outstanding.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
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 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 financial instrument which potentially subjects the Company to concentration of credit risk is cash. The Company maintains cash in bank accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. As of September 30, 2007, the Company has not exceeded the federally insured limit. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant risks on its cash in bank accounts.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In February, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. SFAS No. 159 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 Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 159 on our financial position and results of operations, but does not anticipate a material impact.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
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.
NOTE 4 – LOAN RECEIVABLE
The Company has loaned Electrolinks $255,186 USD. This loan is secured and bears interest at a rate of 10% and is repayable upon demand. At September 30, 2007 interest receivable of $11,317 had been accrued on this loan.
NOTE 5 – 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 was charged to current operations as exploration costs in 2006.
NOTE 6 – SHORT TERM LOANS PAYABLE – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company borrowed $270,000 and $25,000 from third parties to assist with working capital needs. The loan of $270,000 bears interest at a rate of 10%. At September 30, 2007 interest of $12,001 had been accrued on this loan. The loan of $25,000 is an interest free, unsecured, demand loan. The Company also borrowed $107 from a shareholder as an interest-free, unsecured, demand loan.
NOTE 7 – COMMON STOCK
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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007 AND 2006
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 September 30, 2007, the Company had a working capital deficiency of approximately $2,382,000 and a loss of approximately $1,068,000 for the nine-month period ended September 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 parties, 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' (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 nine-month periods ended September 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 has determined that the impact of the adoption of FIN No. 48 did not 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.

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 shareholder of the Company. MBS Group charged the Company management fees of $0 and $225,000 during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The amount owed to MBS Group was approximately $27,000 and $473,000 as of September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The sole shareholder 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.
E-Power Links, a corporation that is owned and controlled by a shareholder of the Company, was owed approximately $44,000 at September 30, 2007.
Additional funds are owed to other stockholders in the approximate amount of $609,000 and $141,000 as of September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The shareholders provided various consulting services to the Company in the approximate amount of $787,000 and $490,000 during the nine-months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

As of September 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 September 30, 2007.
The Company entered into a new lease for its facilities on March 1, 2006 which was to terminate on February 28, 2011. The monthly basic rental was approximately $2,800 plus GST taxes and additional rent for its share of realty taxes, operating costs and utilities. Rental expense, including GST taxes and additional rent,was approximately $57,000 and $50,000 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The lease was terminated, without recourse, effective January 31, 2008 and the Company is currently seeking a new location.
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. 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 remuneration.
At March 31, 2007, the 750,000 options received at signing by vendor B were cancelled and the Company issued 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to vendor B. At June 30, 2007, vendor B waived his rights to the remaining options available under the terms of the contract, resulting in the Company canceling 1,250,000 options of the Company’s common stock and providing vendor B with an additional 1,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock resulting in total stock issued to vendor B in the amount of 2,000,000 shares.
During 2007, vendor A’s contract with the Company was terminated and as such is only entitled to the 1,000,000 options received at the signing of the contract.

The management of the Company believes that the options and the shares have a di-minimus value due to the financial condition of the Company and accordingly no compensation expense has been recorded for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007.
The Company entered into an agreement with Elektrokom Kosovo (“Elektrokom”) where the Company will own 14% of Elektrokom. The Company will provide equipment and services in Kosovo (Europe) over a ten-year period to establish Smart Grid and broadband services. Electrolinks and Elecktrokom will collaborate to upgrade and improve the telecommunications infrastructure in the Kosovo region. Through implementation of Smart Grid and BPL technology, the collaboration will provide high speed Internet to businesses and residences throughout the region. Kosovo has been selected as a strategic location for future potential expansion in the Balkan region.
The Company signed a letter of intent on June 26, 2006 with PowerStream, Inc., the fourth largest electrical utility in Ontario Canada, to determine the feasibility to provide and deploy Smart Grid technology. Electrolinks’ Smart Grid technology allows electrical utilities to cost effectively monitor and manage the elements and assets that are embedded within their grids, including transformers, capacitors, switching gear, substations, etc. Deployment of Smart Grids by electric utilities can result in material operational expense savings, improved customer service results and increased revenues through the sale of retail broadband services. The Company is currently deploying the pilot project.
On July 29, 2005, the Company 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 the Company on March 22, 2006, the Company entered into a settlement agreement 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 was approximately $71,000 and $90,000 and is reflected in accrued expenses at September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The Company 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 the Company believes that the specific services of the contract were not delivered as contracted in the form of a report and as such the Company does not owe the consultant fees in the amount of $118,000 and accordingly management has not accrued any of these fees.
The Company was in a commercial litigation with another former consultant which was settled and the Company has accrued $152,000 and is included in accrued expenses at September 30, 2007.

Shared Expense Agreement and Annual Revenue Fee Commitment
On December 31, 2007 the Company entered into an agreement with an unrelated partnership whereby the partnership will share certain expenses incurred by the Company. The aggregate amount of the partnership’s share of expenses shall be equal to the lesser of the following amounts: a) $4,600,000 Canadian (“gross proceeds”) and b)the amount of the Company’s losses allowed as provided to and assessed by the Canada Revenue Agency through December 31, 2007.
The partnership agrees to pay to the Company at closing 25% of the gross proceeds, approximately $1,150,000, with the remaining balance to be paid by assignment by the partnership to the Company in promissory notes totaling $3,450,000. The promissory notes in the amount of $3,450,000 will be recorded as a note receivable (“notes”) on the Company’s financial statements after settlement. The closing of this transaction is expected to be no later than February 15, 2008. The notes will bear interest at the prescribed interest rate under section 143.2 of Canada’s Income Tax Act. Interest on the notes will be payable annually by February 15 after each year from December 31, 2008 until December 31, 2012. Commencing December 31, 2013 until 2017, principal payments on the notes will be due on February 15 following each year in equal installments of one-fifth of the balance of the principal owing on the notes. The notes mature February 15, 2018.
As consideration for agreeing to share those expenses, the Company will pay to the partnership an Annual Revenue Fee (“ARF”) equal to 10% of the Company’s aggregate gross revenues for a period of ten years commencing January 1, 2008. The fee will be payable by February 15 after each year. The Company has an option to apply the ARF first against the notes’ accrued interest and then against any remaining principal owed by the partnership to the Company on the notes, in lieu of payment of the ARF.
The Company has the right to convert the ARF into common shares as follows: 1) after December 31, 2013 equal to ten percent of the number of issued and outstanding shares; and 2) prior to December 31, 2013, per the Early Conversion Right, into common shares with a value of $2,300,000 or a payment in cash in the amount of $2,300,000. If the Company defaults, the general partner of the partnership, in its sole discretion, may elect to convert the notes subject to the Early Conversion Right.
As part of this transaction, the Company will pay closing costs to the partnership based on 10% of the gross proceeds, approximately $460,000. In addition the Company had engaged a consultant to assist in this transaction. The consultant is entitled to a commission based on 5% of the gross proceeds, approximately $230,000 and five year warrants that would equal up to 5% of the equity value equal to 5% of the gross revenue shared by the partnership.

High End Ventures, Inc.
On October 23, 2006, the stockholders of the Company entered into a contract with High End Ventures, Inc.

No penalties attached to either party as a result of the termination of the Exchange Agreement.
Following the termination of the above agreement, on September 18, 2007, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (“Combination Agreement”) with High End whereby High End intends to acquire 100% of the outstanding ownership or right to ownership of the Company through the amalgamation of Power Grid Networks Ltd.

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.

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 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. The management of the Company believes that the options have di-minimus value due to the financial condition of the Company and accordingly no compensation expense has been recorded for the year ended December 31, 2006.
The stockholders of the Company have entered into a contract with High End Ventures, Inc. (“High End”) whereby High End will exchange 20,500,000 of its common shares representing 56.4% for 100% of the Company’s shares.

NOTES TO PROFORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2007
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF TRANSACTION
On September 18, 2007, as amended on November 9, 2007, High End Ventures, Inc. entered into a Business Combination Agreement and Amalgamation Agreement with The Electrolinks Corporation, to acquire 100% ownership of The Electrolinks Corporation, in exchange for an aggregate of 21,584,183 shares of High End Ventures, Inc. whereby The Electrolinks Corporation would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of High End Ventures, Inc. The total number of shares on closing the transaction would be 37,434,183.
For purposes of this proforma consolidated balance sheet, the intended acquisition has been accounted for as a recapitalization using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to reverse acquisitions with The Electrolinks Corporation (the legal subsidiary on amalgamation with Power Grid Networks Ltd.) being treated as the accounting parent (acquirer) and High End Ventures, Inc. (becoming 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 transaction costs.
NOTE 2 – MANAGEMENT’S ASSUMPTIONS
The pro forma balance sheets and statements of operations assume the two companies were consolidated as of September 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.
