FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report includes forward-looking statements with-in the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act (the "Securities Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). We have based these statements on our beliefs and assumptions, based on information currently available to us. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include the information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, our total market opportunity and our business plans and objectives set forth under the sections entitled "Business" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. Our future results and requirements may differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that will determine these results and requirements are beyond our control. In addition to the risks and uncertainties discussed in "Business" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," investors should consider those discussed under "Risk Factors" and, among others, the following:

Since the sale of substantially all of our assets, we are a non-operating company and are seeking a suitable transaction with a private company; however we may not find a suitable candidate or transaction.  If we are unable to consummate a suitable transaction we will be forced to liquidate and dissolve, which will take three years to complete and may result in our distributing less cash to our stockholders.  Additionally, we will be spending cash during the winding down of the Company and may not have enough cash to distribute to our stockholders.

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report. We do not intend to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in our business anticipated results of our operations, strategy or planned capital expenditures, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

PART I

Item 1.  Description of Business

General

Trist Holdings, Inc., (“Trist,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware as Camryn Information Services, Inc., on May 13, 1997. We operated for a brief period of time before we ceased operations on February 25, 1999 when we forfeited our charter for failure to designate a registered agent. We remained dormant until 2004 when we renewed our operations with the filing of a Certificate of Renewal and Revival of Charter with the State of Delaware on October 29, 2004. On November 3, 2004, we filed a Certificate of Amendment and our name was formally changed from Camryn Information Services, Inc. to iStorage Networks, Inc. Such change became effective on November 8, 2004.

On January 26, 2006, iStorage issued 8,200,000 shares of restricted stock (post-split) in exchange for all of the assets and liabilities of Landbank, LLC (“LLC”), a company organized in the State of California in December 2004, and $140,000 in cash. iStorage changed its name to Landbank Group, Inc. on January 27, 2006.  The former members of LLC became approximately 90% owners of the Company.

The exchange of shares with Landbank, LLC was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting since the stockholders of Landbank, LLC obtained control of the entity. Accordingly, the merger of the two companies was recorded as a recapitalization of LLC, where as LLC was treated as the continuing entity.   LLC made bulk acquisitions of parcels of land, primarily through the real property tax lien foreclosure process. The bulk acquisitions were then divided into smaller parcels for resale.

On December 31, 2007, we closed the transactions with Landbank Acquisition LLC (“Investor”) and Family Products LLC, a member of Investor. The following transactions (the “Transactions”) occurred at the closing:  (1) we transferred ownership of LLC to Investor (the “LLC Transfer”), (2) we issued 79,311,256 new shares of common stock to Investor to increase Investor’s current equity holdings in Company of approximately fifty-five percent (55%) to approximately ninety-five percent (95%) (the “Share Issuance”), (3) Investor agreed to provide full indemnity us for LLC’s prior operations and liabilities, (4) LLC assigned $500,000 in debt to Company which was owed to Investor (the “Note Assignment”), (5) LLC retained approximately $500,000 in debt owed to third parties and approximately $2.5 million in debt owed to Investor, and (6) we retained approximately $5,000 in cash for our working capital.

As the Transactions were among related parties, no gain or loss was recorded on the disposal of Landbank, LLC.

Pursuant to the Transactions, on December 31, 2007, we changed our name to ‘Trist Holdings, Inc.’. The authorized shares capital was also increased from 100,000,000 shares to 2,000,000,000 shares.

Since the closing of the Transactions, we have been seeking suitable candidates for a business combination with a private company.  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 an operating business. 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.

Competition

Our primary goal is the acquisition of a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation. The Company faces vast competition from other shell companies with the same objectives. The Company is in a highly competitive market for a small number of business opportunities which could reduce the likelihood of consummating a successful business combination. A large number of established and well-financed entities, including small public companies and venture capital firms, are active in mergers and acquisitions of companies that may be desirable target candidates for us. Nearly all these entities have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than we do; consequently, we will be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully completing a business combination. These competitive factors may reduce the likelihood of our identifying and consummating a successful business combination.

Patent and Trademarks

We currently do not own any patents, trademarks or licenses of any kind.

Government Regulations

There are no government approvals necessary to conduct our current business.

Employees

The Company currently has no employees.  The Company engages the services of independent consultants to assist it with management.    

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

The following important factors, and the important factors described elsewhere in this report or in our other filings with the SEC, could affect (and in some cases have affected) our results and could cause our results to be materially different from estimates or expectations.  Other risks and uncertainties may also affect our results or operations adversely.  The following and these other risks could materially and adversely affect our business, operations, results or financial condition.

We have a history of net losses and will not achieve or maintain profitability.

We have a history of incurring losses from operations. As of December 31, 2008, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $2,445,847, of which approximately $2,254,577 was incurred prior to the sale of our business.  We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to fund our business needs.  We will rely on funding from Investor for our cash needs.  Our ability to continue may prove more expensive than we currently anticipate and we may incur significant additional costs and expenses in connection with seeking a suitable transaction.

We are a non-operating company seeking a suitable transaction and may not find a suitable candidate or transaction.

Since the sale of substantially all of our assets to Clarient, we are a non-operating company and are seeking a suitable transaction with a private company; however, we may not find a suitable candidate or transaction.  If we are unable to consummate a suitable transaction we will be forced to liquidate and dissolve which will take three years to complete and may result in our distributing less cash to our shareholders.  Additionally, we will be spending cash during the winding down of the Company and may not have enough cash to distribute to our shareholders.

We cannot assure you of the exact amount or timing of any future distribution to our stockholders.

The precise nature, amount and timing of any future distribution to our stockholders will depend on and could be delayed by, among other things, the opportunities for a private company transaction, administrative and tax filings during or associated with our seeking a private company transaction or any subsequent dissolution, potential claim settlements with creditors, and unexpected or greater than expected operating costs associated with any potential private company transaction or any subsequent liquidation. Furthermore, we cannot provide any assurances that we will actually make any distributions.  Any amounts we actually distribute to our stockholders may be less than the price or prices at which our common stock has recently traded or may trade in the future.

We will continue to incur claims, liabilities and expenses that will reduce the amount available for distribution to stockholders.

Claims, liabilities and expenses incurred while seeking a private company transaction or any subsequent dissolution, such as legal, accounting and consulting fees and miscellaneous office expenses, will reduce the amount of assets available for future distribution to stockholders. If available cash and amounts received on the sale of non-cash assets are not adequate to provide for our obligations, liabilities, expenses and claims, we may not be able to distribute meaningful cash, or any cash at all, to our stockholders.

We will continue to incur the expenses of complying with public company reporting requirements.

We have an obligation to continue to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, even though compliance with such reporting requirements is economically burdensome.

5

In the event of liquidation, our Board of Directors may at any time turn management of the liquidation over to a third party, and our directors may resign from our board at that time.

If we are unable to find or consummate a suitable private company transaction, our directors may at any time turn our management over to a third party to commence or complete the liquidation of our remaining assets and distribute the available proceeds to our stockholders, and our directors may resign from our board at that time. If management is turned over to a third party and our directors resign from our board, the third party would have sole control over the liquidation process, including the sale or distribution of any remaining assets.

If we are deemed to be an investment company, we may be subject to substantial regulation that would cause us to incur additional expenses and reduce the amount of assets available for distribution.

If we invest our cash and/or cash equivalents in investment securities, we may be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940. If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act because of our investment securities holdings, we must register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. As a registered investment company, we would be subject to the further regulatory oversight of the Division of Investment Management of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and our activities would be subject to substantial regulation under the Investment Company Act. Compliance with these regulations would cause us to incur additional expenses, which would reduce the amount of assets available for distribution to our stockholders. To avoid these compliance costs, we intend to invest our cash proceeds in money market funds and government securities, which are exempt from the Investment Company Act but which currently provide a very modest return.

If we fail to create an adequate contingency reserve for payment of our expenses and liabilities,  in the event of dissolution, our stockholders could be held liable for payment to our creditors of each such stockholder’s pro rata share of amounts owed to the creditors in excess of the contingency reserve, up to the amount actually distributed to such stockholder.

In the event of dissolution or a distribution of substantially all our assets, pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, we will continue to exist for three years after the dissolution became effective or for such longer period as the Delaware Court of Chancery shall direct, for the purpose of prosecuting and defending suits against us and enabling us gradually to close our business, to dispose of our property, to discharge our liabilities and to distribute to our stockholders any remaining assets. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, in the event we fail to create an adequate contingency reserve for payment of our expenses and liabilities during this three-year period, each stockholder could be held liable for payment to our creditors of such stockholder’s pro rata share of amounts owed to creditors in excess of the contingency reserve, up to the amount actually distributed to such stockholder.

However, the liability of any stockholder would be limited to the amounts previously received by such stockholder from us (and from any liquidating trust or trusts) in the dissolution. Accordingly, in such event a stockholder could be required to return all distributions previously made to such stockholder. In such event, a stockholder could receive nothing from us under the plan of dissolution. Moreover, in the event a stockholder has paid taxes on amounts previously received, a repayment of all or a portion of such amount could result in a stockholder incurring a net tax cost if the stockholder’s repayment of an amount previously distributed does not cause a commensurate reduction in taxes payable. There can be no assurance that any contingency reserve established by us will be adequate to cover any expenses and liabilities.

Our auditors have expressed a going concern opinion.

Primarily as a result of our recurring losses and our lack of liquidity, the Company received a report from our independent auditors that includes an explanatory paragraph describing the substantial uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Any future sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock could depress the trading price of our common stock, lower our value and make it more difficult for us to pursue or consummate a private company transaction.

Any sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock (or the prospect of sales) may have the effect of depressing the trading price of our common stock. In addition, these sales could lower our value and make it more difficult for us to engage in a private company transaction. Further, the timing of the sale of the shares of our common stock may occur at a time when we would otherwise be able to engage in a private company transaction on terms more favorable to us.

Our stock price is likely to be highly volatile because of several factors, including a limited public float.

The market price of our stock is likely to be highly volatile because there has been a relatively thin trading market for our stock, which causes trades of small blocks of stock to have a significant impact on our stock price. You may not be able to resell our common stock following periods of volatility because of the market's adverse reaction to volatility.

Other factors that could cause such volatility may include, among other things:

·   announcements concerning our strategy;

·   litigation; and

·   general market conditions.

Because our common stock is considered a "penny stock" any investment in our common stock is considered to be a high-risk investment and is subject to restrictions on marketability.

Our common stock is currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board and is considered a "penny stock." The OTC Bulletin Board is generally regarded as a less efficient trading market than the NASDAQ Capital Market.

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks." Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, which specifies information about penny stocks and the nature and significance of risks of the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and any salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements indicating the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock.

Since our common stock is subject to the regulations applicable to penny stocks, the market liquidity for our common stock could be adversely affected because the regulations on penny stocks could limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and thus your ability to sell our common stock in the secondary market.  There is no assurance our common stock will be quoted on NASDAQ or the NYSE or listed on any exchange, even if eligible.

We have additional securities available for issuance, including preferred stock, which if issued could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock.

Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of 2,000,000,000 shares of common stock.  The common stock and the preferred stock can be issued by, and the terms of the preferred stock, including dividend rights, voting rights, liquidation preference and conversion rights can generally be determined by, our board of directors without stockholder approval. Any issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the rights of the holders of common stock by, among other things, establishing preferential dividends, liquidation rights or voting powers. Accordingly, our stockholders will be dependent upon the judgment of our management in connection with the future issuance and sale of shares of our common stock and preferred stock, in the event that buyers can be found therefore. Any future issuances of common stock or preferred stock would further dilute the percentage ownership of our Company held by the public stockholders.

Item 6.  Selected Financial Data

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide this information.

Item 7.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and notes thereto  included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview

We were incorporated in the State of Delaware as Camryn Information Services, Inc., on May 13, 1997. We operated for a brief period of time before it ceased operations on February 25, 1999 when it forfeited its charter for failure to designate a registered agent. We remained dormant until 2004 when it renewed its operations with the filing of a Certificate of Renewal and Revival of Charter with the State of Delaware on October 29, 2004. On November 3, 2004, we filed a Certificate of Amendment and our name was formally changed from Camryn Information Services, Inc. to iStorage Networks, Inc. Such change became effective on November 8, 2004. We subsequently changed its name to Landbank Group, Inc., on January 27, 2006, following the acquisition of Landbank, LLC, a California limited liability company (“LLC”).  We previously engaged in business through LLC which made bulk acquisitions of parcels of land, primarily through the real property tax lien foreclosure process. The bulk acquisitions were then divided into smaller parcels for resale.

On December 31, 2007, we transferred all of its respective rights in and to LLC and its business and changed its name to Trist Holdings, Inc.  As a result of such transfer, we are a non-operating public company and our operating results through December 31, 2007 are not meaningful to our future results. We seek suitable candidates for a business combination with a private company.

We currently not engage in any business activities that provide cash flow.  During the next twelve months we anticipate incurring costs related to:

(i)          filing Exchange Act reports, and

(ii)         investigating, analyzing and consummating an acquisition.

We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to fund our business needs.  We will rely on funding from Investor for our cash needs.  We are seeking out suitable candidates for a business combination with a private company. Our ability to continue may prove more expensive than we currently anticipate and we may incur significant additional costs and expenses in connection with seeking a suitable transaction..

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 1 to the financial statements for a complete description of recent accounting standards which we have not yet been required to implement and may be applicable to our operation, as well as those significant accounting standards that have been adopted during 2008.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates which are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The result of these evaluations forms the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported amount of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions. The following accounting policies require significant management judgments and estimates:

We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from these estimates.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior fiscal year amounts disclosed in the financial statements to conform to the presentation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported net loss or stockholders’ equity.

Fiscal Year 2008 Compared to Fiscal Year 2007

Results from Operations

The information below represents our historical numbers.  These numbers are not meaningful going forward due to the sale of all of our business lines.

Revenues

Revenues were zero for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

10

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales was zero for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $144,763 and $180,007 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was due to less operating activities.

Discontinued Operations

Loss from discontinued operations was zero and $874,700 in the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Interest Expense and Other, Net

Interest expense and other, net was $45,707  and zero in the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  The increase of $45,707 was due to the note payable which accrued interest in 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used in operating activities was zero and $529,743 in the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in loss attributable to the prior operations of the divested subsidiary.

Net cash provided by investing activities was zero and 270,790 in 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Net cash provided by financing activities was zero and $263,953 in 2008 and 2007, respectively.  In 2007, the funds were borrowed from our divested subsidiary..

We have suffered recurring losses from operations and have an accumulated deficit of $2,445,847 and $2,254,577 in 2008 and 2007, respectively.  Currently, we are a non-operating public company. We are seeking out suitable candidates for a business combination with a private company.  We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to fund our business needs.  We will rely on funding from Investor for our cash needs.  Our ability to continue may prove more expensive than we currently anticipate and we may incur significant additional costs and expenses in connection with seeking a suitable transaction.

Going Concern Uncertainties

As of the date of this annual report, there is doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern as we have not generated sufficient cash flow to fund our business operations and loan commitments.  Our future success and viability, therefore, are dependent upon our ability to generate capital financing.  The failure to generate sufficient revenues or raise additional capital may have a material and adverse effect upon the Company and our shareholders.

Capital Expenditures

None

Contractual Obligations

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide this information.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

           As of December 31, 2008, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

Item 7A.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide this information.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders of Trist Holdings, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Trist Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, shareholders’deficit, and cash flows 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 audits.

We conducted our audits of these statements 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 Trist Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The company has an accumulated deficit of $2,445,847 at December 31, 2008 including a net loss of $191,270 during the year ended December 31, 2008. These factors as discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 6. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

TRIST HOLDINGS, INC.

(FORMALLY KNOWN AS LANDBANK GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008 AND 2007

NOTE 1.    Nature of business and significant accounting policies

Current Operations and Background — The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware as Camryn Information Services, Inc., on May 13, 1997. We operated for a brief period of time before it ceased operations on February 25, 1999 when it forfeited its charter for failure to designate a registered agent. We remained dormant until 2004 when it renewed its operations with the filing of a Certificate of Renewal and Revival of Charter with the State of Delaware on October 29, 2004. On November 3, 2004, we filed a Certificate of Amendment and our name was formally changed from Camryn Information Services, Inc. to iStorage Networks, Inc. Such change became effective on November 8, 2004.

On January 26, 2006, iStorage issued 8,200,000 shares of restricted stock (post-split) in exchange for all of the assets and liabilities of Landbank, LLC (“LLC”), a company organized in the State of California in December 2004, and $140,000 in cash. iStorage changed its name to Landbank Group, Inc. on January 27, 2006.  The former members of LLC became approximately 90% owners of the Company.

The exchange of shares with Landbank, LLC was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting since the stockholders of Landbank, LLC obtained control of the entity. Accordingly, the merger of the two companies was recorded as a recapitalization of LLC, where as LLC was treated as the continuing entity.   LLC made bulk acquisitions of parcels of land, primarily through the real property tax lien foreclosure process. The bulk acquisitions were then divided into smaller parcels for resale.

On December 31, 2007, we closed the transactions with Landbank Acquisition LLC (“Investor”) and Family Products LLC, a member of Investor. Pursuant to the Agreement, the following transactions (the “Transactions”) occurred at the closing:  (1) we transferred ownership of LLC to Investor (the “LLC Transfer”), (2) we issued 79,311,256 new shares of common stock to Investor to increase Investor’s current equity holdings in Company of approximately fifty-five percent (55%) to approximately ninety-five percent (95%) (the “Share Issuance”), (3) Investor agreed to provide full indemnity to us for LLC’s prior operations and liabilities, (4) LLC assigned $500,000 in debt to Company which was owed to Investor (the “Note Assignment”), (5) LLC retained approximately $500,000 in debt owed to third parties and approximately $2.5 million in debt owed to Investor, and (6) we retained approximately $5,000 in cash for our working capital.

As the Transactions were among related parties, no gain or loss was recorded on the disposal of Landbank, LLC.

Pursuant to the Transactions, on December 31, 2007, we changed our name to ‘Trist Holdings, Inc.’. The authorized shares capital was also increased from 100,000,000 shares to 2,000,000,000 shares.

Since the closing of the Transactions, we have been seeking suitable candidates for a business combination with a private company.  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 an operating business. 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.

Basis of Presentation — The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Use of Estimates —The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents (Held in Trust) — The Company considers investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. Currently Company owns cash amounting to $5,000 held in trust with Landbank Acquisition, LLC (a related party) (See note 2).

Income Taxes —The Company records income taxes in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  The standard requires, among other provisions, an asset and liability approach to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities.  Valuation allowances are provided if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

18

Stock-Based Compensation— On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS 123(R)”) which was issued in December 2004. SFAS 123(R) revises SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation,” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and its related interpretations. SFAS 123(R) requires recognition of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments in the financial statements over the period the employee is required to perform the services in exchange for the award. SFAS 123(R) also requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award. SFAS 123(R) also amends SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” to require the excess tax benefits be reported as financing cash inflows, rather than as a reduction of taxes paid, which is included within operating cash flows. The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective method. Accordingly, prior period amounts have not been restated. Under this application, the Company recorded the cumulative effect of compensation expense for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption and recorded compensation expense for all awards granted after the date of adoption. As at December 31, 2008, the Company has no stock options outstanding.

SFAS 123(R) provides that income tax effects of share-based payments are recognized in the financial statements for those awards that will normally result in tax deduction under existing law. Under current U.S. federal tax law, the Company would receive a compensation expense deduction related to non-qualified stock options only when those options are exercised and vested shares are received. Accordingly, the financial statement recognition of compensation cost for non-qualified stock options creates a deductible temporary difference which results in a deferred tax asset and a corresponding deferred tax benefit in the income statement. The Company does not recognize a tax benefit for compensation expense related to incentive stock options unless the underlying shares are disposed in a disqualifying disposition.

Net Loss Per Share — The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share,” and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (“SAB 98”). Under the provisions of SFAS No. 128 and SAB 98, basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Common equivalent shares related to stock options and warrants have been excluded from the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share, for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 because their effect is anti-dilutive.

Concentration of Credit Risk — Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist of cash.  The Company maintains its cash with high credit quality financial institutions; at times, such balances with any one financial institution may exceed FDIC insured limits.

Financial Instruments — Our financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable, and notes payable.  The carrying values of cash, accounts payable, and notes payable are representative of their fair values due to their short-term maturities.  

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements—

Business Combinations-In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R significantly changes the accounting for business combinations. Under SFAS 141R, an acquiring entity is required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS 141 was dominant from 2002 to 2008, and business combination whereby the accounting treatment under SFAS 141 was applied will be reported in financial statements under the same method for years, However, SFAS 141R replaces SFAS 141, and changes the accounting treatment for certain specific items for new business combination, including:

·Acquisition costs are generally expensed as incurred;

·Noncontrolling interests (formerly known as “minority interests” – see SFAS 160 discussion below) are valued at fair value at the acquisition date;

·Acquired contingent liabilities are recorded at fair value at the acquisition date and subsequently measured at either the higher of such amount or the amount determined under existing guidance for non-acquired contingencies;

·In-process research and development are recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date;

·Restructuring costs associated with a business combination are generally expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and

·Changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally affect income tax expense.

SFAS 141R also includes a substantial number of new disclosure requirements. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. Accordingly, since we are a calendar year-end company we recorded and disclosed business combinations following existing GAAP until January 1, 2009. We expect SFAS 141R will have an impact on accounting for business combinations once adopted but the effect is dependent upon acquisitions at that time.

19

Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – An Amendment of ARB No. 51-In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - An Amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS 160 clarifies that changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS 160 also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Like SFAS 141R discussed above, earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 160 to have a material impact on the financial statements.

In March 19, 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. Currently the Company does not carry any derivative instruments and the adoption of this statement may not have any effect on the financial statements.

In May 2008, FASB issued SFASB No.162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The pronouncement mandates the GAAP hierarchy reside in the accounting literature as opposed to the audit literature. This has the practical impact of elevating FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts in the GAAP hierarchy. This pronouncement will become effective 60 days following SEC approval. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.

In May 2008, FASB issued SFASB No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60”. The scope of the statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2008. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.

On December 30, 2008 FASB issued FIN 48-3, “Effective Date of FASB Interpretation No. 48 for Certain Nonpublic Enterprises”. This FSP defers the effective date of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, for certain non-public enterprises as defined in paragraph 289, as amended, of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, including non-public not-for-profit organizations. However, non-public consolidated entities of public enterprises that apply U. S. GAAP are not eligible for the deferral. Nonpublic enterprises that have applied the recognition, measurement, and disclosure provisions of Interpretation 48 in a full set of annual financial statements issued prior to the issuance of this FSP also are not eligible for the deferral. This FSP shall be effective upon issuance. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.

On January 12, 2009 FASB issued FSP EITF 99-20-01, “Amendment to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20”. This FSP amends the impairment guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets,” to achieve more consistent determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. The FSP also retains and emphasizes the objective of an other-than-temporary impairment assessment and the related disclosure requirements in FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and other related guidance. The FSP shall be effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008, and shall be applied prospectively. Retrospective application to a prior interim or annual reporting period is not permitted. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.

20

NOTE 2 - Discontinued operations

On December 31, 2007, we closed the transactions contemplated under the Securities Exchange Agreement dated October 31, 2007 with Landbank Acquisition LLC (“Investor”) and Family Products LLC, a member of Investor, who is a party to the Agreement for the limited purpose of providing indemnification to the Company thereunder.  At the time the Agreement was executed, and immediately prior to the closing of the transaction contemplated therein, Investor was the owner of 55% of our outstanding capital stock.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the following transactions occurred at the closing:  (1) we transferred ownership of LLC to Investor, (2) we issued 79,311,256 new shares of common stock to Investor to increase Investor’s current equity holdings in Company of approximately fifty-five percent (55%) to approximately ninety-five percent (95%), (3) Investor agreed to provide full indemnity to us for LLC’s prior operations and liabilities, (4) LLC assigned $500,000 in debt to Company which was owed to Investor, (5) LLC retained approximately$500,000 in debt owed to third parties and approximately $2.5 million in debt owed to Investor, and (6) we retained approximately$5,000 in cash for our working capital.

In connection with the debt assignment, we entered into a note assignment with LLC and Investor and issued a demand promissory note to Investor in the principal amount of $500,000.

Investor and the Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement between them at the closing (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Investor received certain demand and piggyback registration rights with respect to the shares received in the Share Issuance.

The consummation of the Transactions was subject to the receipt of customary closing conditions, each of which occurred prior to the closing, including approval of the LLC Transfer by the Corporation’s stockholders and the amendment of our Certificate of Incorporation to change our name and to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 100,000,000 to 2,000,000,000.

NOTE 3 - Note Payable to Related Party

On December 31, 2007, we executed a Demand Promissory Note (the “Note”) payable to Landbank Acquisition LLC, $500,000 with simple interest on the unpaid principal from the date of the note at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum.  Landbank Acquisition LLC is related to the Company through common major shareholders. The Note is due on demand. This Note was delivered in connection with the LLC Transfer as described in Note 2.  We recorded an interest expense of $45,707 and zero for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The accrued interest, at December 31, 2008 and 2007 amounted to $45,707 and zero, respectively, was included as part of amount due to related party.

NOTE 4 – Related-party transactions

Effective September 24, 2007, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Landbank Group, Inc. (the "Company") appointed Eric Stoppenhagen as Interim President and Secretary of the Company to fill the vacancies created upon the resignations of certain of its officers effective the same date.  Additionally, Mr. Stoppenhagen was also appointed Interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company effective November 15, 2007 in light of the current Chief Financial Officer’s resignation.

On September 27, 2007, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with Venor Consulting, Inc. (“Venor”), a company owned by Mr. Stoppenhagen.  Under the terms of the consulting agreement, Venor will perform certain consulting services for the Company with respect to, among other things, the provision of executive services (including, without limitation, the services of Mr. Eric Stoppenhagen, the Company's Interim President and Secretary) for a period of nine months.  The Company will pay Venor a monthly fee for certain of the services to be provided, with additional services to be billed at an hourly rate. The Company recorded $48,000 in consulting expenses and continued to subscribe the services from Venor Consulting, Inc. on the month to month basis after the expiration of the contract.

NOTE 5 – 2006 Stock Incentive Plan

We have elected to adopt the detailed method provided in SFAS No. 123(R) for calculating the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (“APIC pool”) related to the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation, and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool and Statements of Cash Flows of the income tax effects of employee stock-based compensation awards that are outstanding upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).

On March 13, 2007, we granted an option to its prior Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.02 per share. The option vests over a four (4) year period, with 25 % vesting of the shares vesting on March 12, 2008 and the remaining shares vesting at 1/48th per month thereafter until the option is vested and exercisable with respect to 100% of the shares. The term of the option is ten (10) years, with an expiration date of March 12, 2017. The option grant was valued at $2,000 as of the date of grant using the Black-Sholes option pricing model in accordance with FAS 123R using the following assumptions: volatility of 469.34%, Wall Street Journal prime interest rate of 4.69%, zero dividend yield, and an expected life of four (4) years. We expensed the entire $2,000 value of the option during the three month period ended March 31, 2007.

On August 10, 2007, we terminated all of its option grants, which consisted of grants to four (4) of our five (5) Board members and its Chief Financial Officer.

NOTE 6 - Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of the company as a going concern. However, we have an accumulated deficit of $2,445,847 as of December 31, 2008. Our total liabilities exceeded its total assets by $682,529 as of December 31, 2008. In view of the matters described above, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon our continued operations, which in turn is dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing and succeed in seeking out suitable candidates for a business combination with a private company. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Furthermore, the principal shareholder, Landbank Acquisition LLC has demonstrated its ability and willingness to lend working capital to us and committed to doing so into the future. To the extent it is unwilling to provide working capital, we will not be able to continue.

Item 9.  Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

Not applicable

Item 9A(T).  Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures    

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our interim President, who serves as our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our interim President reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Rule 240.13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) of the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based upon this evaluation, our interim President concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this Form 10-K.

(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act and for assessing the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008.  In making its assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  This assessment included an evaluation of the design of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of those controls.  Based on the results of this assessment, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008.

 This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Certain Legal Proceedings

To our knowledge, during the past five years, none of our directors, executive officers, promoters, control persons, or nominees has been:

• the subject of any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

• convicted in a criminal proceeding or is subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);

• subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or

• found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance.

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires that our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC.  Executive officers, directors and greater-than-ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with all Section 16(a) forms they file.  Based solely on our review of the copies of the forms received by us and written representations from certain reporting persons that they have complied with the relevant filing requirements, we believe that, during the year ended December 31, 2008, all of our executive officers, directors and greater-than-ten percent stockholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements.

Code of Ethics

The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to its principal executive officers, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. A copy of the Company’s Code of Ethics may be obtained free of charge by contacting the Company at the address or telephone number listed on the cover page hereof.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee includes at least one member who is determined by the Board to meet the qualifications of an “audit committee financial expert” in accordance with SEC rules, excluding the requirement that the person meets the relevant definition of an “independent director.”  Mr. Freeman is the director who has been determined to be an audit committee financial expert. Stockholders should understand that this designation is a disclosure requirement of the SEC related to Mr. Freeman’s experience and understanding with respect to certain accounting and auditing matters. The designation does not impose on Mr. Freeman any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than are generally imposed on him as a member of the Audit Committee and Board of Directors, and his designation as an audit committee financial expert pursuant to this SEC requirement does not affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the Audit Committee or the Board of Directors. Mr. Freeman is an independent director.

Director Independence

Our board of directors currently consists of three members: Gary Freeman, Ray Gaytan, and Lee Mendelson.

We do not have a separately designated compensation or nominating committee of our board of directors and the functions customarily delegated to these committees are performed by our full board of directors.  We are not a “listed company” under SEC rules and are therefore not required to have separate committees comprised of independent directors.  We have, however, determined that Gary Freeman and Lee Mendelson are “independent” as that term is defined in Section 4200 of the Marketplace Rules as required by the NASDAQ Stock Market.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-audit Services of Independent Auditors

The Board’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. The independent registered public accounting firm and management are required to periodically report to the Board regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date. The Board may also pre-approve particular services on a case-by-case basis.

The Board has determined that the rendering of the services other than audit services by Kabani & Company is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
