HIGH END VENTURES, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2008

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The interim financial statements of High End Ventures, Inc. (the “Company”) for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 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 interim financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of December 31, 2008 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. The results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 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 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 October 23, 2006 the Company executed an agreement to acquire The Electrolinks Corporation (“Electrolinks”), a Toronto, Ontario based development stage-company intent on providing “smart grid” applications for power utilities and buildings designed to deliver broadband over power line (BPL) services utilizing any form of existing electrical infrastructure. The parties agreed not to proceed with the agreement on September 18, 2007 and entered into new agreements to implement the intent of the transaction. Nonetheless, the Company’s shareholders could not satisfy corporate quorum requirements on two separate occasions to consider the transaction. As a result of that failure, the agreements for the Company to acquire Electrolinks expired on their own terms and conditions.
 
The Company is currently without operations and is in the process of identifying an alternative business opportunity through merger or acquisition.
 
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.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2008

NOTE 4– NATURE OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 December 31, 2008, 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 three months ended December 31, 2008 the Company did not maintain cash deposits at financial institutions in excess of the 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 period.  Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stock shares outstanding during the period 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 December 31 2008 and 2007 the Company did not have any potentially dilutive instruments outstanding.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2008

NOTE 4 – 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 December 31, 2008, 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:
 
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts. SFAS No. 163 clarifies how SFAS No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises, applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises, and addresses the recognition and measurement of premium revenue and claim liabilities. It requires expanded disclosures about contracts, and recognition of claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It also requires disclosure about (a) the risk-management activities used by an insurance enterprise to evaluate credit deterioration in its insured financial obligations, and (b) the insurance enterprise's surveillance or watch list. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 163.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - continued:

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP APB 14-1”). FSP APB 14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon either mandatory or optional conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants.”
 
Additionally, FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We will adopt FSP APB 14-1 beginning in the first quarter of 2009, and this standard must be applied on a retrospective basis. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 will have on our financial position and results of operations.
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”). This standard is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for non-governmental entities. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following approval by the SEC of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” We do not expect SFAS 162 to have a material impact on the preparation of our financial statements.
  
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. This new guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset acquisitions. FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that FSP 142-3 will have on our financial statements.
 

NOTE 5 – LOAN RECEIVABLE
 
The Company loaned Electrolinks $254,221, including principal and interest of $29,901 as of December 31, 2008 in anticipation of acquiring said entity as a wholly owned subsidiary. The agreement to complete that transaction has since been abandoned and these loans receivable from Electrolinks are now in default.
 
Due to the uncertainty associated with the satisfaction of amounts owed by Electrolinks, management has decided to impair the value of these loans as of December 31, 2008.

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 was charged to current operations as exploration costs in 2006.

NOTE 7 – SHORT TERM LOANS PAYABLE – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
The Company has borrowed $315,000 and $25,000 from third parties to assist with working capital needs. The loan of $315,000 originated from a company affiliated with our current executive officer and director and bears interest at a rate of 10%. At December 31, 2008 interest of $49,234 had been accrued on this loan. The loan of $25,000 is an interest free, unsecured, demand loan. The Company’s sole executive officer has unpaid fees in the amount of $7,500 at December 31, 2008.
 

NOTE 8 – COMMON STOCK
 
In October of 2005, the Company issued 600,000 shares for the purchase of mineral claims at a value of $0.02 per share.
 
On April 10, 2006, the Company issued 320,000 shares of common stock valued at $0.05 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.

Item 2.     MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other parts of this quarterly 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 our 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 subsection entitled Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition below. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included in this report. Our fiscal year end is September 30. All information presented herein is based on the three month periods ended December 31, 2008.

Discussion and Analysis

The Company’s plan of operation for the coming year is to identify and acquire or develop a revenue producing business through merger or acquisition. We do not plan to limit our options to any particular industry, but will evaluate each opportunity on its merits.

We have not yet entered into any agreement, nor do we have any commitment or understanding to enter into or become engaged in any transaction, as of the date of this filing.

The Company’s plan of operation will require $100,000 in funding over the next 12 months which funding is not currently available. Additionally, we will require more than $650,000 to satisfy amounts payable which funding is currently not available. Should we merge with or acquire a suitable business opportunity within the next 12 months our funding requirements will change.

Results of Operations

During the three month period ended December 31, 2008 our operations were focused on (i) identifying a prospective business opportunity for merger or acquisition, and (ii) satisfying continuous public disclosure requirements.

The Company has been funded since inception from public or private debt or equity placements or by major shareholders in the form of loans. All of the capital raised to date has been allocated for general and administrative costs, exploration expenses, loans to The Electrolinks Corporation during our attempts to acquire them as a wholly owned subsidiary, and interest expenses.

We do not expect to receive revenues within the next twelve months of operation or ever since we have yet to acquire a business opportunity, which opportunity if acquired may or may not produce revenue. Accordingly, we expect to continue to operate at a loss.

Revenues

The Company has not generated revenues since inception. The Company expects to incur losses through the fiscal year ended 2009 and, due to the nature of our search for a suitable business opportunity for development, we cannot determine whether we will ever generate revenues from operations.

Return to Table of Contents

Net Losses

For the period from January 19, 1999, date of inception, until December 31, 2008, the Company incurred a net loss of $714,938. Net losses for the three months ended December 31, 2008 were $23,036 as compared to $64,565 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. The Company’s net losses are primarily attributable to operating expenses. Our operating expenses include exploration costs, general and administrative expenses, and impairments. General and administrative expenses include professional and consulting fees, compensation costs, travel, and costs associated with the preparation of disclosure documentation. The decrease in net losses over the comparative periods can be attributed to a decrease in general and administrative expenses.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

The Company has a prospective income tax benefit resulting from a net operating loss carryforward and start up costs that may offset any future operating profit.
 

Impact of Inflation
 
The Company believes that inflation has had a negligible effect on operations over the past three years.
 

Capital Expenditures
 
The Company expended no amounts on capital expenditures for the period from inception to December 31, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company is in the development stage and, since inception, has experienced significant changes in liquidity, capital resources, and stockholders’ deficit.

As of December 31, 2008, the Company had current and total assets of $4,881 and a working capital deficit of $651,438. Our assets consist of solely of cash on hand. The Company had current and total liabilities of $656,319, consisting of $266,978 in accounts payable, $49,234 in interest payable, and $340,107 in loans payable. Net stockholders’ deficit in the Company was $651,438 at December 31, 2008.
 
Cash flow used in operating activities was $132,005 for the period from inception to December 31, 2008. Cash flow used in operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2008 was $3,676 as compared to $19,530 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. The cash flow used in operating activities in the current period was due to net losses.

Cash flow used in investing activities was $254,221 for the period from inception to December 31, 2008. Cash flow used in investing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $0.
 
Cash flow provided by financing activities was $391,107 for the period from inception to December 31, 2008. Cash flow provided by financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2008 was $3,000 as compared to $20,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. Cash flow provided by financing activities in the current period was due to proceeds from loans payable.

Return to Table of Contents

The Company’s current assets are insufficient to conduct its intended plan of operation over the next twelve months and it will have to realize debt or equity financing to fund its operations. We have no current commitments or arrangements with respect to funding or immediate sources of funding. Further, no assurances can be given that funding would be available or available to us on acceptable terms. Therefore, our 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. Our inability to obtain funding would have a material adverse affect on our plan of operation.

The Company does not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
 
The Company has no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements.
 

The Company has no commitments for future capital expenditures.
 
The Company has no defined benefit plan or contractual commitment with any of its officers or directors.

The Company has no current plans for the purchase or sale of any plant or equipment. The Company has no current plans to make any changes in the number of employees.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2008, the Company 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

The Company’s auditors have noted substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of our dependence on raising capital to sustain operations, our failure to establish profitable operations, and an accumulated deficit of $691,902 at September 30, 2008. Such deficit has increased to $714,938 as of December 31, 2008. Our ability to continue as a going concern requires that we either realize net income from operations or obtain funding from outside sources. Management’s plan to address our ability to continue as a going concern includes (i) obtaining funding from private placement sources, (ii) obtaining additional funding from the sale of the Company’s securities, (iii) establishing revenues from prospective business opportunities, and (iv) obtaining loans and grants from various financial institutions where possible. Although management believes that they will be able to obtain the funding necessary for us to continue as a going concern there can be no assurances that the means for maintaining this objective will prove successful.

Critical Accounting Policies

In the notes to the audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2008 included in the Company’s Form 10-K, the Company discusses those accounting policies that are considered to be significant in determining the results of operations and its financial position. The Company believes that the accounting principles utilized by us conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Return to Table of Contents

The preparation of financial statements requires Company 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. The Company 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.

Forward Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition

The statements contained in the section titled Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and elsewhere in this current report, with the exception of historical facts, are forward looking statements. Forward looking statements reflect our current expectations and beliefs regarding our future results of operations, performance, and achievements. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and are based upon assumptions and beliefs that may or may not materialize. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning:

·      our anticipated financial performance and business plan;

·      the sufficiency of existing capital resources;

·      our ability to raise additional capital to fund cash requirements for future operations;

·      uncertainties related to the Company’s future business prospects;

·      the ability of the Company to generate revenues to fund future operations; and

·      the volatility of the stock market and general economic conditions.

We wish to caution readers that our operating results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those discussed or anticipated, including the factors set forth in the section entitled Risk Factors included elsewhere in this report. We also wish to advise readers not to place any undue reliance on the forward looking statements contained in this report, which reflect our beliefs and expectations only as of the date of this report. We assume no obligation to update or revise these forward looking statements to reflect new events or circumstances or any changes in our beliefs or expectations, other than as required by law.
 

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 our 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts. SFAS No. 163 clarifies how SFAS No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises, applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts issued by insurance enterprises, and addresses the recognition and measurement of premium revenue and claim liabilities. It requires expanded disclosures about contracts, and recognition of claim liability prior to an event of default when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. It also requires disclosure about (a) the risk-management activities used by an insurance enterprise to evaluate credit deterioration in its insured financial obligations, and (b) the insurance enterprise's surveillance or watch list. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 163.

In May 2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (“FSP APB 14-1”). FSP APB 14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon either mandatory or optional conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants.”
 
Additionally, FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We will adopt FSP APB 14-1 beginning in the first quarter of 2009, and this standard must be applied on a retrospective basis. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 will have on our financial position and results of operations.

On May 8, 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which will provide framework for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for nongovernmental entities. With the issuance of SFAS No. 162, the GAAP hierarchy for nongovernmental entities will move from auditing literature to accounting literature. We do not expect SFAS 162 to have a material impact on the preparation of our financial statements.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. This new guidance applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset acquisitions. FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. We are currently evaluating the impact, if any, that FSP 142-3 will have on our financial statements.

ITEM 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not required.

ITEM 4T.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with the preparation of this report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by the Company’s management, with the participation of the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)). Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information was accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the period ended December 31, 2008, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A.     RISK FACTORS
 

Risks Related to the Company’s Business

Our future operating results are highly uncertain. Before deciding to invest in us or to maintain or increase your investment, you should carefully consider the risks described below, in addition to the other information contained in this current report. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be seriously harmed. In that event, the market price for our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

We have a history of significant operating losses and such losses may continue in the future.

The Company has never realized revenue from operations, resulting in continuing losses and an accumulated deficit of $714,938 at December 31, 2008. During the three months ended December 31, 2008, we recorded a net loss of $23,036. We will continue to incur operating losses as we maintain our search for a suitable business opportunity and satisfy our ongoing disclosure requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”). Such continuing losses could result in a decrease in share value.

The Company’s limited financial resources cast severe doubt on our ability to acquire a profitable business opportunity.

The Company’s future operation is dependent upon the acquisition of a profitable business opportunity. However, the prospect of such an acquisition is doubtful due to the Company’s limited financial resources. Since we have no current business opportunity, the Company is not in a position to improve this financial condition through debt or equity offerings. Therefore, this limitation may act as a deterrent in future negotiations with prospective acquisition candidates. Should we be unable to acquire a profitable business opportunity the Company will, in all likelihood, be forced to cease operations.
 

Risks Related to the Company’s Stock

The market for our stock is limited and our stock price may be volatile.

The market for our common stock has been limited due to low trading volume and the small number of brokerage firms acting as market makers. Because of the limitations of our market and volatility of the market price of our stock, investors may face difficulties in selling shares at attractive prices when they want to. The average daily trading volume for our stock has varied significantly from week to week and from month to month, and the trading volume often varies widely from day to day.
 

The Company does not pay cash dividends.

The Company does not pay cash dividends. We have not paid any cash dividends since inception and have no intention of paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future dividends would be at the discretion of our board of directors and would depend on, among other things, future earnings, our operating and financial condition, our capital requirements, and general business conditions. Therefore, shareholders should not expect any type of cash flow from their investment.

We incur significant expenses as a result of being quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, which may negatively impact our financial performance.
 
We incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses as a result of being listed on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as related rules implemented by the Commission, has required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. Our compliance with these laws, rules and regulations, including compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as discussed in the following risk factor, has increased our expenses, including our legal and accounting costs, and has made some activities more time-consuming and costly. As a result, there has been an increase in legal, accounting and certain other expenses, which has negatively impacted our financial performance and may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Our internal controls over financial reporting were not considered effective at September 30, 2008, which may result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and in turn have an adverse effect on our stock price.

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 we are required to furnish a report by our management on our internal controls over financial reporting with our Form 10-K filing. Such report must contain, among other matters, an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of the end of the year, including a statement as to whether or not our internal controls over financial reporting are effective. As we were unable assert that our internal controls were fully effective, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline.

The Company’s shareholders may face significant restrictions on their stock.

The Company’s stock differs from many stocks in that it is a “penny stock.” The Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate “penny stocks” including, but not limited to, those rules from the Securities Act as follows:
 

3a51-1     which defines penny stock as, generally speaking, those securities which are not listed on either NASDAQ or a national securities exchange and are priced under $5, excluding securities of issuers that have net tangible assets greater than $2 million if they have been in operation at least three years, greater than $5 million if in operation less than three years, or average revenue of at least $6 million for the last three years;

15g-1     which outlines transactions by broker/dealers which are exempt from 15g-2 through 15g-6 as those whose commissions from traders are lower than 5% total commissions;

15g-2      which details that brokers must disclose risks of penny stock on Schedule 15G;

15g-3      which details that broker/dealers must disclose quotes and other information relating to the penny stock market;

15g-4      which explains that compensation of broker/dealers must be disclosed;

15g-5      which explains that compensation of persons associated in connection with penny stock sales must be disclosed;

15g-6      which outlines that broker/dealers must send out monthly account statements; and

15g-9     which defines sales practice requirements.

Since the Company’s securities constitute a “penny stock” within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to us and our securities. Because these rules provide regulatory burdens upon broker-dealers, they may affect the ability of shareholders to sell their securities in any market that may develop; the rules themselves may limit the market for penny stocks. Additionally, the market among dealers may not be active. Investors in penny stock often are unable to sell stock back to the dealer that sold them the stock. The mark-ups or commissions charged by the broker-dealers may be greater than any profit a seller may make. Because of large dealer spreads, investors may be unable to sell the stock immediately back to the dealer at the same price the dealer sold the stock to the investor. In some cases, the stock may fall quickly in value. Investors may be unable to reap any profit from any sale of the stock, if they can sell it at all.

Shareholders should be aware that, according to Commission Release No. 34-29093 dated April 17, 1991, the market for penny stocks has suffered from patterns of fraud and abuse. These patterns include:

·      control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;

·      manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;

·      “boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;

·      excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and

·      the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.
