We are a development stage corporation with limited operations and did not have any revenues during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Total expenses from Continuing Operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $900 and $17,045, respectively. These expenses primarily constituted general and administrative expenses related to professional fees. The decrease in expenses in 2008 is due to a reduction in accrued director fees offset by an increase in professional and administrative fees.
B. Liquidity and Capital Resources.
The Company’s only internal and external sources of liquidity have been and are expected to be advances from our majority shareholder. The Company intends to obtain any additional working capital needed by requesting it from our majority shareholder. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $3,400. As additional expenses are incurred, the Company expects to obtain the necessary funds from its majority shareholder.
Operating expenses are estimated to be $25,000 or less per annum and are expected to be funded by advances from our majority shareholder in the form of additional paid-in-capital. Cash and equivalents will be held in a U.S. domiciled bank account in either an interest bearing money market account or a non-interest bearing checking account.

Directors
According to our Memorandum and Articles of Association (“Articles”), there are no age limit requirements pertaining to the retirement or non-retirement of directors. Further, a director need not be a shareholder of the Company.
When a director of the Company is interested in a particular transaction of the Company, he shall disclose his interest to all other directors of the Company. The interested director may also (i) vote on a matter relating to the transaction, (ii) attend a meeting of directors at which a matter relating to the transaction arises and be included among the directors present at the meeting for the purposes of a quorum, and (iii) sign a document on behalf of the Company, or do any other thing in his capacity as a director, that relates to the transaction, and, subject to compliance with the BVI Act shall not, by reason of his office be accountable to the Company for any benefit which he derives from such transaction and no such transaction shall be liable to be avoided on the grounds of any such interest or benefit.
There are no specific provisions in the Memorandum or the Articles regarding a director’s power, in the absence of an independent quorum, to vote compensation to themselves or any members of their body or regarding the borrowing powers exercisable by the directors and how such borrowing powers can be varied.
Shares
The Company is authorized to issue a maximum of 101,000,000 Shares, par value $.0001 per share, divided into three classes, Voting Shares, Non-Voting Shares and Preferred Shares. The rights, preferences and restrictions attaching to each class of the Company’s shares are as follows:
Voting Shares
The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 Voting Shares. Holders of Voting Shares are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be acted upon by the shareholders. Holders of Voting Shares possess the right to an equal share in any dividend paid by the Company to the class of Voting Shares. Upon liquidation, each holder of Voting Shares is given the right to an equal share in the distribution of the surplus assets of the Company subject to the liquidation preference for Preferred Shares.
19
Non-Voting Shares
The Company is authorized to issue 50,000,000 convertible Non-Voting Shares. Holders of the Non-Voting Shares do not have a right under the Memorandum or the Articles to attend or to vote at shareholder meetings. Non-Voting shareholders are entitled to receive such dividends as paid by the Company to the class of Non-Voting Shares. All outstanding convertible Non-Voting Shares shall automatically convert into an equal number of Voting Shares sixty-one days following the consummation of any transaction by which the Company ceases to be a “shell company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act or when the Company or a subsidiary thereof completes a business combination, merger, share exchange or similar transaction with an operating business. A holder of the Non-Voting Shares may agree in advance to convert to a lesser number of Voting Shares. Upon liquidation, each holder of Non-Voting Shares is given the right to an equal share in the distribution of the surplus assets of the Company subject to the liquidation preference for Preferred Shares.
Preferred Shares
The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 Preferred Shares. Each holder of Preferred Shares is entitled to ten votes per Preferred Share held on any resolution of shareholders. Holders of Preferred Shares are entitled to an equal share in any dividend paid by the Company to the class of Preferred Shares. Upon liquidation of the Company, holders of Preferred Shares are entitled to receive a payment per share equal to the subscription price paid for the issue of that Preferred Share. Holders of Preferred Shares are given preferential treatment over holders of Voting Shares or Non-Voting Shares with regard to payments in the event of Company liquidation. In the event that the Company does not have sufficient funds to pay all holders of Preferred Shares, such available funds shall be distributed on a pro-rata basis. In the event of a surplus upon liquidation, each holder of Preferred Shares is given the right to an equal share in the distribution of the surplus assets of the Company.
The Company may by resolution redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire all or any of the Shares in the Company. However, pursuant to Article 3 of the Articles, the Company may not purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire the Shares without the consent of the shareholders whose Shares are to be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired unless no such consent is required by the Memorandum, the Articles or other applicable law. To effect a purchase, redemption or other acquisition of Shares, a statement that the directors are satisfied on reasonable grounds that immediately after the acquisition the value of the Company’s assets will exceed its liabilities and the Company will be able to pay its debts as they fall due must appear in a resolution of directors. Shares purchased, acquired, or redeemed pursuant to the Articles may be cancelled or held as treasury shares except to the extent that such shares are in excess of 50% of the issued shares in which case they shall be cancelled but remain available for reuse. All rights and obligations attached to treasury shares are suspended and are not exercisable by the Company while it remains held as such. Treasury shares may be transferred by the Company by resolution.
Pursuant to the Memorandum, if at any time the Shares are divided into different classes, the rights attached to any class may only be varied, whether or not the Company is in liquidation, with the consent in writing of or by a resolution passed at a meeting by the holders of not less than 50% of the issued Shares in that class. Additionally, the rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any class shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further Shares rankingpari passu therewith.
The Memorandum and the Articles have no provisions for surrender or sinking funds and for discriminating against any existing or prospective holder of securities as a result of such shareholder owning a substantial number of Shares.
Shareholder Meetings
Pursuant to Article 7 of the Articles, any director of the Company may convene shareholder meetings in such manner and places within or outside the BVI as the director considers necessary or desirable. The director
20
convening a meeting shall not give less than two days notice of the meeting to those shareholders who are entitled to vote at the meeting and to the other directors. A shareholder entitled to exercise 51% or more of the voting rights in respect to the matter for which the meeting is requested may, upon written request, request that the directors convene a meeting of shareholders. Directors of the Company may attend any meeting of shareholders and any separate meeting of the holder of any class or series of the Company’s Shares.
Other Provisions
There are no limitations on the right to own securities imposed by the Memorandum or the Articles or other constituent document of the Company. The laws of the BVI may impose limitations on the right to own securities; for example, a minor cannot hold legal title to shares in a BVI company.
The Company’s Preferred Shares could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company.
There is no special ownership threshold above which a shareholder’s ownership position must be disclosed.
C. Material Contracts.

E. Taxation.
There is currently no relevant capital gains tax, inheritance tax or gift tax in the BVI, and there is no taxation of income in the BVI.
There are no withholding provisions regarding taxes except in relation to the European Saving Directive (the “Directive”).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Stockholders’ and Directors
Rodman International Enterprise I, Ltd.
(A Development Stage Company)
Chatham, New Jersey
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Rodman International Enterprise I, Ltd. (A Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the period July 6, 2006 (Inception) to December 31, 2008, for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 Rodman International Enterprise I, Ltd. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period July 6, 2006 (Inception) to December 31, 2008, for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

RODMAN INTERNATIONAL ENTERPRISE I, LTD.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - Organization, Business and Operations
Rodman International Enterprise I, Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on July 6, 2006 with the objective to acquire, or merge with, an operating business. On July 6, 2006, the Company sold 2,510,000 shares of common stock for $251. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had not yet commenced any operations.
The Company, based on proposed business activities, is a “blank check” company. The Securities and Exchange Commission defines such a Company as “a development stage company” that has no specific business plan or purpose, or has indicated that its business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company or companies, or other entity or person; and is issued ‘penny stock,’ as defined in Rule 3a 51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Many states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of securities of “blank check” companies in their respective jurisdictions. Management does not intend to undertake any efforts to cause a market to develop in its securities, either debt or equity, until the Company concludes a business combination.
The Company was organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation and, to a lesser extent, that desires to employ the Company’s funds in its business. The Company’s principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with a business rather than immediate, short-term earnings. The Company will not restrict its potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business. The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of the officers and directors of the Company.
NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. SFAS No. 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Measurement of the deferred items is based on enacted tax laws. In the event the future consequences of differences between financial reporting bases and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities result in a deferred tax asset, SFAS No. 109 requires an evaluation of the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such assets. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized.

RODMAN INTERNATIONAL ENTERPRISE I, LTD.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
At December 31, 2008, the Company has U.S. net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $54,500, which expire in 2028. Based on the fact that the Company has not generated revenues since inception, the deferred tax asset of approximately $21,000 has been offset by a full valuation allowance. The organization costs attributed to the British Virgin Islands has been noted a permanent difference in the amount of $4,000, since the British Virgin Islands does not have an income tax.

NOTE 5 - New Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
