PART I
Item 1. Business.
Background. We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 18, 2002, under the name Klean Kast Solutions, Inc. From our inception until April 2007, we were engaged in the development of designer slings and protective, waterproof cast covers to patients who have been fitted with plaster or fiberglass casts to treat their broken bones and other injuries. In April 2007, our management changed and we amended our name to SN Strategies Corp. and adopted a new business plan of developing social networking applications designed to engage, provide information to and gather intelligence from users. We have abandoned our business of developing designer slings and protective, waterproof cast covers.
Our Business. We are an Internet company that specializes in developing social networking applications designed to engage, provide information to and gather information from users, through applications that are known as widgets and weblogs, or blogs. A widget is a type of user interface which allows people to interact with a computer and computer-controlled devices which employ graphical icons, visual indicators or special graphical elements, along with text labels or text navigation to represent the information and actions available to a user. Users can drag and drop their widgets onto the personal page of their social network or onto a blog. Widgets typically look like a little window or box with some functionality depending on the purpose of the widget. A blog is a website where entries are written in chronological order and displayed in reverse chronological order. Blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject such as food, politics, or local news and combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic.
Over the last six months, part of our growth strategy has been to seek acquisitions of other companies or businesses that are operating in a similar space. On December 31, 2008, we signed a term sheet pursuant to which we to agreed to enter into a definitive merger agreement with Visual Network Design Inc. (“VND”). Under the proposed terms, VND would merge with us, or a wholly owned subsidiary to be formed, whereby, upon effectiveness of the merger, the stockholders of VND would hold approximately 92% of our outstanding shares of capital stock and our current stockholders would own approximately 8% of our outstanding shares of capital stock. The term sheet provides, among other things, that the definitive merger agreement will be signed within 20 days of the execution of the term sheet. The Registrant and VND agreed that, during such 20-day period, each would deal exclusively with the other with respect to any merger, sale or acquisition involving either party and would not solicit or entertain offers or inquiries from other persons or entities or provide information to, or participate in, any discussions or negotiations with any persons or entities with respect to any proposed transaction. The definitive agreements are to include customary closing conditions satisfactory to the parties and their respective counsel, including the following: (i) consummation of all required definitive instruments and agreements; (ii) obtaining all necessary board, stockholder and third party consents; and (iii) satisfactory completion by the parties of all necessary technical and legal due diligence.
The proposed merger is pending and we have not entered into any definitive merger agreement with VND. The material terms of the definitive agreements are yet to be fully negotiated and drafted. We cannot guaranty that we will enter into a definitive merger agreement or that the merger transaction with VND will be completed. If we do not complete the merger transaction discussed herein, we will look for another merger or acquisition target. We also intend to continue our current business until such time as a merger is completed.
Social Networking Products. We intend to develop a celebrity gossip widget and dining and entertainment blogs. The celebrity gossip widget will allow users to post information about their favorite celebrities on their blogs or social networking pages. We believe that the celebrity gossip widget will provide entertainment to the users and the readers of their blogs and social networking pages. Our widget will be built with simple signup process via our website or the widget itself from a current user’s social networking page. We also intend to maintain relationships with users by providing enhancements and updates to our widgets as well as allowing our users to provide feedback and suggestions to enhance the user experience and ensure user satisfaction.
We also intend to develop blogs which provide commentary on the dining and entertainment in various cities and geographic areas. We believe that we can serve a local area such as Orange County, California, where we are currently located and which we believe is underserved as far as commentary on the hip and trendy dining and entertainment establishments as well as general information about the Orange County area. We are currently beta testing our first blog that is focused on the Orange County area. We hope to generate revenues by advertising to our users as well as potentially selling products to our users.
2
Internet Advertising. We anticipate that we will be able to generate advertising revenues from companies which desire to advertise to our users. The Internet is an attractive method for certain advertisers, depending on the number of users we have and a variety of other factors. Internet advertising spending continues to increase on an annual basis. We believe that significant revenues can be generated from online advertising from small business service providers and product vendors.
We initially intend to sell the following Internet advertisements: banner and text ads, video ads and sponsorships. We hope to have advertisers pay for banner and text advertisements and other graphical images featured on web pages throughout our network. The images are advertising inventory that will be sold by us to advertisers or companies using measurements commonly referred to as cost per thousand impressions, cost per click or cost per action. Video ads will allow advertisers to place high quality video ads on our website. We will also provide advertisers with the opportunity to sponsor various parts of our website. Sponsors will be offered an integrated ad package that includes permanent placement in certain areas of the website.
Strategic Alliance with Fliva, Inc. In May 2007, we entered into a strategic alliance with Fliva, Inc. a social networking company which we believe will assist us in the development of our business as they have access to experienced developers and an already established user-base. Specifically, we entered into a convertible promissory note and warrant agreement with Fliva, Inc. pursuant to which we loaned $25,000 to Fliva, Inc. in exchange for the right to convert those funds into shares of common stock of Fliva, Inc. and the right to purchase additional shares of common stock of Fliva, Inc. On November 8, 2007, we converted the note receivable balance of $25,000 into 625,000 shares of Fliva’s common stock at the conversion rate of $0.04 per share. In addition, as consideration for converting the note receivable, the warrants were exercised in exchange for accrued interest of $625 resulting in us receiving an additional 62,500 shares of Fliva’s common stock. On November 12, 2007, Fliva, Inc. was acquired by Magic Cow, Inc. pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement, which resulted in our 687,500 shares of common stock of Fliva, Inc. being exchanged for 201,343 shares of common stock of Magic Cow, Inc. During 2008, Magic Cow, Inc. changed its name to Adisn, Inc. We believe that the relationship with Fliva and Adisn, Inc. will assist us in the development of our products because the management and development teams are very experienced in the internet industry.
Growth Strategy. Our objective is to establish several widgets and blogs with large user bases. We intend to develop additional products that will increase our user base and hopefully increase the amount of revenue that we can generate from advertising. In addition to continually seeking out and evaluating new products, we may consider the acquisition of other companies or businesses that are operating in a similar space. We believe that there is an opportunity for us to acquire smaller companies or web properties with already established user bases. We hope to use our common stock as payment for any potential acquisitions. Accordingly, in the future, we intend to seek potential acquisitions or other suitable business partners which will assist us in increasing our user base as well as realizing other business objectives. We cannot guaranty that we will acquire any other third party, or that in the event that we acquire another entity, this acquisition will assist us in realizing our business objectives.
Our Target Market. Our target demographic is the 18 to 40 year old males and females. We need to develop a loyal and active user community amongst those individuals. We believe we will be in touch with the interests, tastes and needs of our targeted users and that we will be able to use that knowledge to generate a loyal user base.
Competition. We compete with several large media companies that dominate the Internet industry as well as numerous small and independent companies that have widgets and blogs as well as other social networking applications. . Many of these companies have access to vast financial resources. Additionally, they have established long standing relationships with users and advertisers. We cannot compete with either the large or mid-sized companies. We are also at a significant competitive disadvantage within the Internet industry because we have not previously produced any products and have limited capital resources. Our ability to compete will depend on our ability to obtain users of our products without spending any funds to market and promote our products.
Website. Our website is located at www.snstrategies.com. Our current website is under construction and provides limited contact information.
Government Regulation. Few existing laws or regulations specifically apply to the Internet. Many laws and regulations, however, are pending and may be adopted in the United States, individual states and local jurisdictions and other countries with respect to the Internet. It is not possible to predict whether or when such legislation may be adopted, and certain proposals, if adopted, could negatively affect our business. We do not know for certain how existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, copyright and other intellectual property issues, digital rights management, security, illegal or obscene content, retransmission of media, spyware, and personal privacy and data protection apply to the Internet.
In addition, we are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations applied to businesses generally. We believe that we are in conformity with all applicable laws in all relevant jurisdictions. We do not believe that we have not been affected by any of the rules and regulations specified in this section.
Intellectual Property. We also currently own the web domain www.snstrategies.com, which will be our corporate website, and www.pickleintheoc.com which we are establishing as our local blog for Orange County, California. Under current domain name registration practices, no one else can obtain an identical domain name, but someone might obtain a similar name, or the identical name with a different suffix, such as “.org”, or with a country designation. The regulation of domain names in the United States and in foreign countries is subject to change, and we could be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring domain names that infringe or otherwise decrease the value of our domain names.
We may also protect various other words, names, symbols, and devices that are used with goods produced by us to distinguish them from those produced by others through the use of trademarks, and will identify and distinguish the source of several of our services through the use of service marks. We have not filed applications to protect any other trade or service marks. We cannot guaranty we will receive such trade or service mark protection if we make an application.
Research and Development. We are not currently conducting any research and development activities other than the development of our website. We believe that the total cost for the development of our website will be no more than $1,500. We do not anticipate conducting such activities in the near future.
Employees. As of March 27, 2009, we have no employees other than our officers. We will utilize independent contractors, consultants, and other creative personnel from time to time to assist in developing our products. We are not a party to any employment agreements.
Our Facilities. Our offices are located at 1077 Balboa Avenue, Laguna Beach, California 92651. We believe that our facilities are adequate for our needs.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Any potential investor should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below before purchasing any shares of our common stock. The risks described below are those we currently believe may materially affect us.
Risks Related to our Business:
We have a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our prospects can be made.
We were formed on January 18, 2002. Our lack of operating history in the Internet industry makes an evaluation of our business and prospects very difficult. Our prospects must be considered speculative, considering the risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered in the establishment of a new business. We cannot be certain that our business will be successful or that we will generate significant revenues and become profitable.
We will need to raise additional capital to fund our operations. Our failure to raise additional capital will significantly affect our ability to fund our proposed activities.
To develop and market our products, we will be required to raise additional funds through debt or equity financings. We do not know if we will be able to acquire additional financing. We anticipate that we will need to spend significant funds on developing our products. Our failure to obtain additional funds would significantly limit or eliminate our ability to fund our operations.
We have incurred a net loss since inception and expect to incur net losses for the foreseeable future.
As of December 31, 2008, our net loss since inception was $136,277. We expect to incur operating and capital expenditures of up to $50,000 for the next year and, as a result, we expect significant net losses in the future. We will need to generate significant revenues to achieve and maintain profitability. We may not be able to generate sufficient revenues to achieve profitable operations.
Because we are a development stage company, we have very limited revenues to sustain our operations.
We are a development stage company that is currently developing our business. To date, we have generated limited revenues, and we cannot guaranty that any significant revenues will be generated. The success of our business operations will depend upon our ability to develop our products and market those products to the online communities. We are not able to predict whether we will be able to develop our business and generate significant revenues. If we are not able to complete the successful development of our business plan, generate significant revenues and attain sustainable profitable operations, then our business will fail.
Online social networking products are new and rapidly evolving and may not prove to be a viable business model.
Online social networking products are a relatively new business model for delivering entertainment over the Internet, and we have only very recently launched our efforts to develop a business centered on this model. It is too early to predict whether consumers will accept, and use our products on a regular basis, in significant numbers, and participate in our online video community. Our products may fail to attract significant numbers of users, or, may not be able to retain the usership that it attracts, and, in either case, we may fail to develop a viable business model for our online community. In addition, we expect a significant portion of the content that we will provide to be available for free. If we are unable to successfully monetize the use of our content, either through advertising or fees for use, we may not be able to generate revenues.
4
We may be unable to attract advertisers to the social networking products that we develop.
We expect that advertising revenue will comprise a significant portion of the revenue to be generated by the blogs that we develop. Most large advertisers have fixed advertising budgets, only a small portion of which has traditionally been allocated to Internet advertising. In addition, the overall market for advertising, including Internet advertising, has been generally characterized in recent periods by softness of demand, reductions in marketing and advertising budgets, and by delays in spending of budgeted resources. Advertisers may continue to focus most of their efforts on traditional media or may decrease their advertising spending. If we fail to convince advertisers to spend a portion of their advertising budgets with us, we will be unable to generate revenues from advertising as we intend.
We hope to generate revenue from advertising, and the reduction in spending by, or loss of, advertisers could seriously harm our ability to generate revenues.
We hope to generate revenues from advertisers. If we are unable provide value to potential advertisers, we may not be able to sell any ad space, which would negatively impact our revenues and business. In addition, we expect that advertisers will be able terminate their contracts with us at any time. We may encounter difficulty collecting from our advertisers because we are a very small company with limited resources to collect outstanding balances.
If we are unable to compete effectively in the social networking sector of the Internet industry, our business will fail.
The social networking sector of the Internet industry is extremely competitive. The competition comes from both companies within the same business and companies in other entertainment media which create alternative forms of entertainment. We compete with several major Internet companies studios which are dominant in the industry, as well as with numerous small and independent social networking companies. Many of the organizations with which we compete have significantly greater financial and other resources than we do. The majors are typically large, diversified entertainment and media companies or subsidiaries of diversified corporations which have strong relationships with advertisers and others involved in the Internet industry. We may not be able to compete with those companies for users and advertisers.
We may not be able to sustain or grow our business unless we keep up with changes in technology and consumer tastes.
The Internet and electronic commerce industries are characterized by:
· | rapidly changing technology; |
· | evolving industry standards and practices that could render our website and proprietary technology obsolete; |
· | changes in consumer tastes and user demands; |
· | challenges, such as “click fraud,” that cast doubt on otherwise legitimate activities and practices; and |
· | frequent introductions of new services or products that embody new technologies. |
Our future performance will depend, in part, on our ability to develop, license or acquire leading technologies and program formats, enhance our existing services and respond to technological advances and consumer tastes and emerging industry standards and practices on a timely and cost-effective basis. Developing website and other proprietary technology involves significant technical and business risks. We also cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully use new technologies or adapt our website and proprietary technology to emerging industry standards. We may not be able to remain competitive or sustain growth if we do not adapt to changing market conditions or customer requirements.
We intend to rely on third parties to maintain our systems and, if these third parties fail to perform their services adequately, we could experience disruptions in our operations.
A key element of our strategy will be to generate a high volume of traffic to our widgets and blogs. Our ability to generate revenues will depend substantially on the number of customers who use our website. Accordingly, the satisfactory performance, reliability and availability of our website and network infrastructure are critical to our ability to generate revenues, as well as to our reputation.
The costs to meet our reporting requirements as a public company subject to the Exchange Act of ’34 will be substantial and may result in us having insufficient funds to operate our business.
We will incur ongoing expenses associated with professional fees for accounting and legal expenses associated with being a public company. We estimate that these costs will range up to $50,000 per year for the next few years. Those fees will be higher if our business volume and activity increases. Those obligations will reduce and possibly eliminate our ability and resources to fund our operations and may prevent us from meeting our normal business obligations.
Our auditors have questioned our ability to continue operations as a “going concern.” Investors may lose all of their investment if we are unable to continue operations.
We hope to begin generating revenues. In the absence of generating revenues, we will seek to raise additional funds to meet our working capital needs principally through the additional sales of our securities. However, we cannot guaranty that we will be able to obtain sufficient additional funds when needed, or that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to us. As a result, our auditors believe that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue operations.

Risks Related to Owning Our Common Stock:
Our board of directors has the authority, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with terms that may not be beneficial to common stockholders and may grant voting powers, rights and preference that differ from or may be superior to those of the registered shares.
Our articles of incorporation allow us to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock without any vote or further action by our stockholders. Our board of directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our board of directors also has the authority to issue preferred stock without further stockholder approval, including large blocks of preferred stock. As a result, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments before dividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of our common stock.
Our officers, directors and principal shareholders own approximately 56.7% of our outstanding shares of common stock, allowing these shareholders control matters requiring approval of our shareholders.
Our officers, director and principal shareholders beneficially own, in the aggregate, approximately 56.7% of our outstanding shares of common stock. Such concentrated control of the company may negatively affect the price of our common stock. Our officers, directors and principal shareholders can control matters requiring approval by our security holders, including the election of directors.
We lack a public market for shares of our common stock, which may make it difficult for investors to sell their shares.
There is no public market for shares of our common stock. We cannot guaranty that an active public market will develop or be sustained. Therefore, investors may not be able to find purchasers for their shares of our common stock. Should there develop a significant market for our shares, the market price for those shares may be significantly affected by such factors as our financial results and introduction of new products and services.
Our common stock is subject to penny stock regulations which may make it difficult for investors to sell their stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission 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, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, 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 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 a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. If our common stock becomes subject to the penny stock rules, holders of our shares may have difficulty selling those shares.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.
None.
Item 2. Properties.
Property held by us. As of the December 31, 2008 and 2007, we held no real property. We do not presently own any interests in real estate.
Our Facilities. Our offices are located at 1077 Balboa Avenue, Laguna Beach, California 92651. From our inception through September 30, 2007, we utilized office space of our officer and stockholder at no charge. We treated the usage of the office space as additional paid-in capital and charged the estimated fair value rent of $100 per month to operations. From October 1, 2007, through December 31, 2008, we utilized office space of our officer and stockholder in exchange for $1,000 per month. We recorded total rent expense of $12,000 and $3,900 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We believe that our facilities are adequate for our needs.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
There are no legal actions pending against us nor are any legal actions contemplated by us at this time.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to Vote of Security Holders.
Not applicable.

PART II
Item 5. Market for Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
Market Information. In January 2008, our common stock became eligible for quotation on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “SNGI”. As of March 27, 2009, no shares of our common stock have traded.
Reports to Security Holders. We filed annual, quarterly and current reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. The public may read and copy any materials filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission at the Security and Exchange Commission’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may also obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the Securities and Exchange Commission at 1-800-SEC-0330. The Securities and Exchange Commission maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The address of that site is http://www.sec.gov.
As of March 27, 2009, there were 43 record holders of our common stock.
There are no outstanding shares of our common stock which can be sold pursuant to Rule 144. There are no outstanding options or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into, shares of our common stock. We registered for sale 1,025,000 shares of common stock held by our shareholders in our registration Statement on Form SB-2, which was declared effective by the SEC on August 6, 2007.
Dividend Policy. We have never declared or paid a cash dividend on our capital stock. We do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain our earnings, if any, for use in our business. Any dividends declared in the future will be at the discretion of our board of directors and subject to any restrictions that may be imposed by our lenders.
No Equity Compensation Plan. We do not have any securities authorized for issuance under any equity compensation plan. We also do not have an equity compensation plan and do not plan to implement such a plan.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities. There have been no sales of unregistered securities within the last three (3) years which would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 701 of Regulation S-B, except for the following:
From May to June 2007, we issued 925,000 shares of our common stock to thirteen investors for $0.08 per share for gross proceeds of $74,000. The shares were issued in a transaction which we believe satisfies the requirements of that exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, which exemption is specified by the provisions of Section 4(2) of that act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated pursuant to that act by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Reverse Stock Split. On April 23, 2007, we declared a five for one reverse stock split whereby each share of our common stock outstanding was converted into 0.20 of a share of our common stock.
Use of Proceeds of Registered Securities. There were no sales or proceeds during the calendar year ended December 31, 2008, for the sale of registered securities.
Penny Stock Regulation. Shares of our common stock will probably be subject to rules adopted the Securities and Exchange Commission that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks”. Penny stocks are generally 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 those 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, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which contains the following:
· | a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; |
· | a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to violation to such duties or other requirements of securities’ laws; |
· | a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask” prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the "bid" and "ask" price; |
· | a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; |
· | definitions of significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and |
· | such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size and format), as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation. |
Prior to effecting any transaction in penny stock, the broker-dealer also must provide the customer the following:
· | the bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; |
· | the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; |
· | the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and |
· | monthly account statements showing 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 acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitably statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. Holders of shares of our common stock may have difficulty selling those shares because our common stock will probably be subject to the penny stock rules.
Purchases of Equity Securities. None during the period covered by this report.

This following information specifies certain forward-looking statements of management of the company. Forward-looking statements are statements that estimate the happening of future events are not based on historical fact. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “may”, “shall”, “could”, “expect”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “predict”, “probable”, “possible”, “should”, “continue”, or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms. The forward-looking statements specified in the following information have been compiled by our management on the basis of assumptions made by management and considered by management to be reasonable. Our future operating results, however, are impossible to predict and no representation, guaranty, or warranty is to be inferred from those forward-looking statements.
The assumptions used for purposes of the forward-looking statements specified in the following information represent estimates of future events and are subject to uncertainty as to possible changes in economic, legislative, industry, and other circumstances. As a result, the identification and interpretation of data and other information and their use in developing and selecting assumptions from and among reasonable alternatives require the exercise of judgment. To the extent that the assumed events do not occur, the outcome may vary substantially from anticipated or projected results, and, accordingly, no opinion is expressed on the achievability of those forward-looking statements. No assurance can be given that any of the assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements specified in the following information are accurate, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates. Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources.
These accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis and in the notes to the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008.

For the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to the year ended December 31, 2007.
Results of Operations
Revenues. We had revenues of $22,574 for the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared to revenues of $5,294 for the year ended December 31, 2007. Those revenues are related to services that we provide to a sales and marketing company. We hope to generate more significant revenues as continue operations and implement our business plan.
Operating Expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2008, our total operating expenses were $76,129, as compared to $64,001 of total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007. The increase in total operating expenses is primarily due to the increase in rent and general and administrative expenses. We expect that we will continue to incur significant legal and accounting expenses related to being a public company. For the year ended December 31, 2008, we had legal and professional expenses of $41,944, dues and fees of $9,254, rent of $12,000 and general and administrative expenses of $12,931. In comparison, for the year ended December 31, 2007, we had legal and professional expenses of $46,441, dues and fees of $9,645, rent of $3,900 and general and administrative expenses of $4,015.
Other Expense/Income. For the year ended December 31, 2008, we had other expense of $1,590, which was interest expense from the convertible promissory note we have with our shareholder. For the year ended December 31, 2007, we had other income of $625, which was interest income from the convertible promissory note with Fliva, Inc.
Net Income or Loss. For the year ended December 31, 2008, our net loss was $55,945, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2007, where our net loss was $58,882. The small decrease in our net loss for year ended December 31, 2008, was primarily due the increase in revenues between the two periods. We expect to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future and until we generate significant revenues.
Liquidity and Capital Resources. We had cash of $788 as of December 31, 2008, which equals $788, our total current assets as of that date, as compared to cash of $216 and prepaid expense of $6,250 as of December 31, 2007. Our total assets of $28,288 as of December 31, 2008, included our current assets of $6,250, and other assets which are comprised of an investment of $27,500. Our total assets of $33,966 as of December 31, 2007, included our current assets of $6,466, and other assets which are comprised of an investment of $27,500. That investment is represented by the 201,343 shares of common stock that we now own of Adisn, Inc.
From May to June 2007, we raised $74,000 in a private placement in exchange for 925,000 shares of our common stock. We used a significant portion of those proceeds for the loan to Fliva, Inc. Specifically, we entered into a convertible promissory note and warrant agreement with Fliva, Inc. pursuant to which we loaned $25,000 to Fliva, Inc. in exchange for the right to convert those funds into shares of common stock of Fliva, Inc. and the right to purchase additional shares of common stock of Fliva, Inc. On November 8, 2007, we converted the note receivable balance of $25,000 into 625,000 shares of Fliva’s common stock at the conversion rate of $0.04 per share. In addition, as consideration for converting the note receivable, the warrants were exercised in exchange for accrued interest of $625 resulting in us receiving an additional 62,500 shares of Fliva’s common stock. On November 12, 2007, Fliva, Inc. was acquired by Magic Cow, Inc. pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement, which resulted in our 687,500 shares of common stock of Fliva, Inc. being exchanged for 201,343 shares of common stock of Magic Cow, Inc. During 2008, Magic Cow, Inc. changed its name to Adisn, Inc. We believe that the relationship with Fliva and Adisn, Inc. will assist us in the development of our products because the management and development teams are very experienced in the internet industry.
On January 4, 2008, we entered into a convertible promissory note for $3,000 with one of our minority shareholders. The note bears interest of 10% and had a maturity date of January 1, 2009. The conversion price is $0.10 per share.
In May 2008, the original note holder assigned all rights, title and interest of the convertible note payable. In February 2009, the maturity date of this note was extended to January 4, 2010.
On April 15, 2008, we entered into a promissory note agreement to obtain a loan for $13,000 from one of our principal shareholders. On July 29, 2008, we entered into a promissory note agreement to obtain a loan for $4,500 from the same principal shareholder. On September 29, 2008, we entered into a promissory note agreement to obtain a loan for $6,000 from the same principal shareholder. On January 16, 2009, we entered into a promissory note agreement to obtain a loan for $4,625 from the same principal shareholder. Under the terms of those promissory note agreements, the principal and any unpaid accrued interest shall be due and payable on demand. The notes accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum. We used those funds for working capital.
Our current liabilities were $70,358 as of December 31, 2008, which was represented by accounts payable of $43,058, income taxes payable of $800, convertible note payable of $3,000 and notes payable of $23,500. By comparison, we current liabilities of $20,091 as of December 31, 2007, all of which was represented by accounts payable of $20,091. We had no other liabilities and no long term commitments or contingencies as of December 31, 2008.
During 2008, we incurred significant accounting costs associated with the audit and review of our financial statements. We expect that the legal and accounting costs of being a public company will continue to impact our liquidity and we may need to obtain funds to pay those expenses. Other than those anticipated increases in legal and accounting costs as well as legal costs in connection with our proposed merger with VND, we are not aware of any other known trends, events or uncertainties, which may affect our future liquidity. We had no long term liabilities, commitments or contingencies.
In July 2007, we filed a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 for the registration of 1,025,000 shares of our issued and outstanding common stock. On August 6, 2007, our registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The purpose of the SB-2 was to register shares of common stock held by our existing shareholders.

Our Plan of Operation for the Next Twelve Months. Over the last six months, part of our growth strategy has been to seek acquisitions of other companies or businesses that are operating in a similar space. On December 31, 2008, we signed a term sheet pursuant to which we to agreed to enter into a definitive merger agreement with Visual Network Design Inc. (“VND”). Under the proposed terms, VND would merge with us, or a wholly owned subsidiary to be formed, whereby, upon effectiveness of the merger, the stockholders of VND would hold approximately 92% of our outstanding shares of capital stock and our current stockholders would own approximately 8% of our outstanding shares of capital stock. The term sheet provides, among other things, that the definitive merger agreement will be signed within 20 days of the execution of the term sheet. The Registrant and VND agreed that, during such 20-day period, each would deal exclusively with the other with respect to any merger, sale or acquisition involving either party and would not solicit or entertain offers or inquiries from other persons or entities or provide information to, or participate in, any discussions or negotiations with any persons or entities with respect to any proposed transaction. The definitive agreements are to include customary closing conditions satisfactory to the parties and their respective counsel, including the following: (i) consummation of all required definitive instruments and agreements; (ii) obtaining all necessary board, stockholder and third party consents; and (iii) satisfactory completion by the parties of all necessary technical and legal due diligence.
The proposed merger is pending and we have not entered into any definitive merger agreement with VND. The material terms of the definitive agreements are yet to be fully negotiated and drafted. We cannot guaranty that we will enter into a definitive merger agreement or that the merger transaction with VND will be completed. If we do not complete the merger transaction discussed herein, we will look for another merger or acquisition target. During the next thirty days, our primary objective is to complete the proposed merger with VND. However, we also intend to continue our current business until such time as a merger is completed.
To effectuate our current business plan and continue operations during the next twelve months, we need to raise additional funds. During the next three to six months, our primary objective is to begin several blogs which provide commentary on the dining and entertainment in various cities and geographic areas. We believe that we will need to spend approximately $10,000 to start blogs in several cities and geographic areas. Part of our business strategy is to pay bloggers with shares of our common stock and/or stock options pursuant to a stock option plan. Therefore, we believe that our ability to entice potential new bloggers to work for us is greatly enhanced now that our common stock is eligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board. We believe that we will access to developers who can help us develop our widgets and blogs. We also intend to look for opportunities to work with other companies that will assist us in our development.
During the next six to twelve months, we need to build our user base, monetize our user base and begin generating revenues. In addition, in order to market and promote our services, we will need to raise significant capital. Our failure to market and promote our services will hinder our ability to increase the size of our operations and generate revenues. If we are not able to generate additional revenues that cover our estimated operating costs, our business may ultimately fail.
We have cash of $788 as of December 31, 2008. In the opinion of management, available funds will not satisfy our working capital requirements for the next twelve months. Our forecast for the period for which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations involves risks and uncertainties and actual results could fail as a result of a number of factors. We intend to pursue capital through public or private financing as well as borrowings and other sources, such as our officers, director and principal shareholders. We cannot guaranty that additional funding will be available on favorable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, we hope that our officers, director and principal shareholders will contribute funds to pay for our expenses to achieve our objectives over the next twelve months.
We are not currently conducting any research and development activities. We do not anticipate that we will purchase or sell any significant equipment. In the event that we generate significant revenues and expand our operations, then we may need to hire additional employees or independent contractors as well as purchase or lease additional equipment.
Because we have limited operations and assets, we may be considered a shell company as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, we have checked the box on the cover page of this report that specifies we are a shell company.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
SN Strategies Corp.
Laguna Beach, California
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of SN Strategies Corp. (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 years then ended and for the period from inception (January 18, 2002) through December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit 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 SN Strategies Corp. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from inception (January 18, 2002) through December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 2, the Company has incurred recurring operating losses and has an accumulated deficit. These conditions raise 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 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2008 and 2007
1. | NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Nature of Operations
SN Strategies Corp. (“the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 18, 2002 under the original name “Klean Kast Solutions, Inc”. On April 22, 2007, the Company filed amended and restated articles and changed its name to “SN Strategies Corp”.
SN Strategies Corp. is an internet company that specializes in developing social networking applications, known as widgets, which are designed to engage, provide information and gather intelligence from users. A widget is a type of user interface that allows people to interact with a computer and computer-controlled devices that employ graphical icons, visual indicators or special graphical elements, along with text labels or text navigation to represent the information and actions available to a user. The Company is headquartered in Laguna Beach, California.
SN Strategies Corp. is currently a development stage company under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 7 “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company produced only minimal revenues and will continue to report as a development stage company until significant revenues are produced.
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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the balance sheet and statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Prepaid Expenses
Prepaid expenses consist of stock transfer agent fees for services to be rendered over the one-year period of the contract and are amortized monthly.
Investments
We account for our investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values that are not accounted for under the equity method of accounting under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” (“SFAS 115”). Management determines the appropriate classification of such securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such classification as of each balance sheet date. Restricted securities are valued at the quoted market bid price and discounted for the required holding period until the securities can be liquidated. We classify our marketable securities as available-for-sale under SFAS 115. The specific identification method is used to determine the cost basis of securities disposed of. Available-for-sale securities with quoted market prices are adjusted to their fair value. Any change in fair value during the period is excluded from earnings and recorded, net of tax, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Any decline in value of available-for-sale securities below cost that is considered to be “other than temporary” is recorded as a reduction of the cost basis of the security and is included in the statement of operations as an impairment loss.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under the asset and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.

1. | NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
Comprehensive Income
The Company applies Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income” (SFAS 130). SFAS 130 establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income or loss, requiring its components to be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. From inception (January 18, 2002) through December 31, 2008, the Company had no other components of comprehensive loss other than the net loss as reported on the statement of operations.
Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Share
In accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”, basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income (loss) per common share is computed similar to basic income per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had a debt instrument outstanding that could be converted into 33,025 shares of common stock. These shares are anti-dilutive.
Issuances Involving Non-Cash Consideration
All issuances of the Company's stock for non-cash consideration have been assigned a dollar amount equaling either the market value of the shares issued or the value of consideration received, whichever is more readily determinable. The majority of the non-cash consideration received pertains to services rendered or occupancy costs by officers and have been valued at the estimated value of the services rendered or costs incurred.
Revenue Recognition
The Company provides consulting services. Revenues from these services are to be recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,” as amended by SAB No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” when (a) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (b) the services have been provided to the customer, (c) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (d) collectibility is reasonably assured.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141(R)), which replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions. This Statement also requires the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the non-controlling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values.
SFAS No. 141(R) makes various other amendments to authoritative literature intended to provide additional guidance or to confirm the guidance in that literature to that provided in this Statement. This Statement 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. We do not expect this will have a significant impact on our financial statements.
In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (SFAS No. 160), which amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards that require the ownership interests in subsidiaries not held by the parent to be clearly identified, labeled and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity. This statement also requires the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest to be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income. Changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest must be accounted for consistently, and when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained non-controlling equity investment in the former subsidiary must be initially measured at fair value. The gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary is measured using the fair value of any non-controlling equity investment. The Statement also requires entities to provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. This Statement applies prospectively to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements and applies prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We do not expect this will have a significant impact on our financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)
In May, 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS 162). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. This statement was effective for the Company on November 15, 2008 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active (FSP 157-3). FSP 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS 157 in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. As it relates to the Company’s financial assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value in its financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), the adoption of FSP 157-3 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)-8 (FSP FIN 46(R)-8), Disclosures about Variable Interest Entities (VIEs). FSP FIN 46(R)-8 requires enhanced disclosures about a company’s involvement in VIEs. The enhanced disclosures required by this FSP are intended to provide users of financial statements with an greater understanding of: (1) the significant judgments and assumptions made by a company in determining whether it must consolidate a VIE and/or disclose information about its involvement with a VIE; (2) the nature of restrictions on a consolidated VIEs assets reported by a company in its statement of financial position, including the carrying amounts of such assets; (3) the nature of, and changes in, the risks associated with a company’s involvement with a VIE; (4) how a company’s involvement with a VIE affects the company’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This FSP was effective for the Company on December 31, 2008 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
2. GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred a net operating loss of $136,227 from inception (January 18, 2002) through December 31, 2008.
The Company is subject to those risks associated with development stage companies. The Company has sustained losses since inception and additional debt or equity financing will be required by the Company to fund its development activities and to support operations. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing. Furthermore, there is no assurance that rapid technological changes, changing customer needs and evolving industry standards will enable the Company to introduce new products on a continual and timely basis so that profitable operations can be attained.
3. INVESTMENT
On May 18, 2007, the Company extended a $25,000 loan to Fliva, Inc. (Fliva) in exchange for a convertible promissory note and a warrant agreement. Under the terms of the convertible promissory note agreement, the note accrued interest at 5% per annum and matures on May 18, 2009. The note could be converted into Fliva’s common stock upon default or upon certain other conditions. Under the terms of the warrant agreement, the Company has the right to purchase 62,500 shares of Fliva’s common stock at $0.04 per share upon certain triggering events. The warrant agreement expires upon the earlier of the warrant execution or May 18, 2011.
On November 8, 2007, the Company converted the note receivable balance of $25,000 into 625,000 shares of Fliva’s common stock at the conversion rate of $0.04 per share. In addition, as consideration for converting the note receivable, the warrants were exercised in exchange for accrued interest of $625 resulting in the Company receiving an additional 62,500 shares of Fliva’s common stock for a total value of $27,500.
On November 12, 2007, the Company exchanged its 687,500 shares of Fliva’s common stock for 201,343 shares of common stock of Magic Cow, Inc. pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement between Fliva and Magic Cow, Inc. During 2008, Magic Cow, Inc. changed its name to Adisn, Inc.
The Company currently holds less than 10% of Adisn, Inc. which approximates the Company’s pro rata share of their underlying value. It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of the Company’s investment in the common stock of this entity other than by its original cost because of the lack of quoted market prices and the inability to estimate fair value without incurring excessive costs. However, management believes that the carrying amount was not impaired as of December 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

4. | FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
Fair Value Measurements
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157 (SFAS 157), Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 relates to financial assets and financial liabilities. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on at least an annual basis, until January 1, 2009 for calendar year-end entities.
SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of this standard apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and are to be applied prospectively with limited exceptions.
SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This standard is now the single source in GAAP for the definition of fair value, except for the fair value of leased property as defined in SFAS 13. SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions, about market participant assumptions, that are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under SFAS 157 are described below:
• | Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. |
• | Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
• | Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. These inputs rely on management's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. (The unobservable inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and may include the Company's own data.) |
The following table presents the Company's fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2008 and 2007:

4. | FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) |
Fair Value Option
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159 (SFAS 159), The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS 159 provides a fair value option election that allows entities to irrevocably elect fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for certain financial assets and liabilities. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings as they occur for those assets and liabilities for which the election is made. The election is made on an instrument by instrument basis at initial recognition of an asset or liability or upon an event that gives rise to a new basis of accounting for that instrument. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements as the Company did not elect the fair value option for any of its financial assets or liabilities.
5. ACCRUED EXPENSES
Accrued Wages and Compensated Absences
The Company currently does not have any employees. The majority of development costs and services have been provided to the Company by the founders and outside, third-party vendors. As such, there is no accrual for wages or compensated absences as of December 31, 2008.
6. CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE
On January 4, 2008, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note agreement to obtain a loan for $3,000. Under the terms of the promissory note agreement, the principal and any unpaid accrued interest must be repaid by January 4, 2009 (see Note12). The note accrues interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The note holder and the Company shall have the right from and after March 4, 2008, and until the maturity date, to convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal balance and any unpaid accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock on the basis of $0.10 per share.
The note may be prepaid at any time, at the option of the Company, in whole or in part without penalty. Interest expense was $303 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
In May 2008, the original note holder assigned all rights, title and interest of the convertible note payable. In February 2009, the maturity date of this note was extended to January 4, 2010.
7. NOTES PAYABLE, RELATED PARTY

On July 29, 2008, the Company entered into a promissory note agreement to obtain a loan for $4,500 with a stockholder. Under the terms of the promissory note agreement, the principal and any unpaid accrued interest is due and payable on demand. The note accrues interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The note may be prepaid at any time, at the option of the Company, in whole or in part without penalty. At December 31, 2008, the principal balance is $4,500 and accrued interest is $194. Interest expense was $194 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
On September 29, 2008, the Company entered into a promissory note agreement to obtain a loan for $6,000 with a stockholder. Under the terms of the promissory note agreement, the principal and any unpaid accrued interest is due and payable on demand. The note accrues interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The note may be prepaid at any time, at the option of the Company, in whole or in part without penalty. At December 31, 2008, the principal balance is $6,000 and accrued interest is $155. Interest expense was $155 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
8. COMMON STOCK TRANSACTIONS

9. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
As of December 31, 2008, the Company has recognized the minimum amount of franchise tax required under California corporation law of $800. The Company is not currently subject to further federal or state tax since it has incurred losses since its inception.
As of December 31, 2008, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $132,000 which can be used to offset future federal income tax. The federal and state net operating loss carryforwards expire at various dates through 2028. Deferred tax assets resulting from the net operating losses are reduced by a valuation allowance, when, in the opinion of management, utilization is not reasonably assured.
As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had the following deferred tax assets related to net operating losses. A 100% valuation allowance has been established; as management believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized:
2008 | 2007 | ||||||||
Federal net operating loss (at 25% and 19% respectively) | $ | 33,000 | $ | 15,000 | |||||
State net operating loss (at 8.84%) | 11,700 | 7,100 | |||||||
44,700 | 22,100 | ||||||||
Less: valuation allowance | (44,700 | ) | (22,100 | ) | |||||
$ | - | $ | - |
The Company’s valuation allowance increased by approximately $22,600 and $21,385 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
From the Company’s inception through September 30, 2007, the Company utilized office space of an officer and stockholder of the Company at no charge. The Company treated the usage of the office space as additional paid-in capital and charged the estimated fair value rent of $100 per month to operations. The Company recorded total rent expense related to this arrangement totaling $0 and $900 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
From October 1, 2007, through December 31, 2008, the Company utilized office space of an officer and stockholder of the Company in exchange for $1,000 per month. Rent expense related to the arrangement totaled $12,000 for the year ended December 31, 2008.
11. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In 2007, the Company abandoned its waterproof and protective cast cover business. A loss on operations for this business has been reclassified and presented as a single line item in the statements of operations.
12. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
During 2008, the Company transacted its business with one customer which accounted for 100% of total revenues. Total revenues from this customer were $22,574 and $-0- for the years-ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Total accounts receivable due from this customer at December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $-0-.

Reverse Merger
On December 31, 2008, the Company signed a term sheet pursuant to which the Company to agreed to enter into a definitive merger agreement with Visual Network Design Inc. (“VND”).
Under the proposed terms, VND would merge with the Company, or its wholly owned subsidiary to be formed, whereby, upon effectiveness of the merger, the stockholders of VND would hold approximately 92% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company and the stockholders of the Company would own approximately 8% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company. The term sheet provides, among other things, that the definitive merger agreement will be signed within 20 days of the execution of the term sheet. The definitive agreements are to include customary closing conditions satisfactory to the parties and their respective counsel, including the following: (i) consummation of all required definitive instruments and agreements; (ii) obtaining all necessary board, stockholder and third party consents; and (iii) satisfactory completion by the parties of all necessary technical and legal due diligence.
The proposed merger is pending and the Company has not entered into any definitive merger agreement with VND. The material terms of the definitive agreements are yet to be fully negotiated and drafted. The Company cannot guaranty that it will enter into a definitive merger agreement or that the merger transaction with VND will be completed.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
There have been no changes in or disagreements with our accountants since our formation required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 304 of Regulation S-K.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
We maintain controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our principal executive and principal financial officers to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon their evaluation of those controls and procedures performed as of December 31, 2008, the date of this report, our chief executive officer and the chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Management's annual report on internal control over financial reporting.
Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
· | pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; |
· | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our directors; and |
· | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness 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.
Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework.
Based on our assessment, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer believe that, as of December 31, 2008, our internal control over financial reporting is not effective based on those criteria, due to the following:
· | lack of proper segregation of functions, duties and responsibilities with respect to our cash and control over the disbursements related thereto due to our very limited staff, including our accounting personnel. |
In light of this conclusion and as part of the preparation of this report, we have applied compensating procedures and processes as necessary to ensure the reliability of our financial reporting. Accordingly, management believes, based on its knowledge, that (1) this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material face necessary to make the statements made not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report, and (2) the financial statements, and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the years and periods then ended.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during our most recently completed quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Eric Kennedy. Mr. Kennedy has been one of our directors since our inception and was formerly our President and Secretary from inception through April 2007. Mr. Kennedy intends to serve as one of our blog writers and also advise other writers on the creative vision for their blog. Mr. Kennedy is a member of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA). Mr. Kennedy has been employed by Southern California Edison from 1997 to the present as a field service technician. Mr. Kennedy is not an officer or director of any reporting company.
All directors hold office until the completion of their term of office, which is not longer than one year, or until their successors have been elected. All officers are appointed annually by the board of directors and, subject to employment agreements (which do not currently exist) serve at the discretion of the board. Currently, directors receive no compensation.
There is no family relationship between any of our officers or directors. There are no orders, judgments, or decrees of any governmental agency or administrator, or of any court of competent jurisdiction, revoking or suspending for cause any license, permit or other authority to engage in the securities business or in the sale of a particular security or temporarily or permanently restraining any of our officers or directors from engaging in or continuing any conduct, practice or employment in connection with the purchase or sale of securities, or convicting such person of any felony or misdemeanor involving a security, or any aspect of the securities business or of theft or of any felony. Nor are any of the officers or directors of any corporation or entity affiliated with us so enjoined.
Code of Ethics. We do not currently have a Code of Ethics that applies to all employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. We plan to adopt a Code of Ethics.
Nominating Committee. Our entire Board participates in consideration of director nominees. The Board will consider candidates who have experience as a board member or senior officer of a company or who are generally recognized in a relevant field as a well-regarded practitioner, faculty member or senior government officer. The Board will also evaluate whether the candidates' skills and experience are complementary to the existing Board's skills and experience as well as the Board's need for operational, management, financial, international, technological or other expertise. The Board will interview candidates that meet the criteria and then select nominees that Board believes best suit our needs.
The Board will consider qualified candidates suggested by stockholders for director nominations. Stockholders can suggest qualified candidates for director nominations by writing to our Corporate Secretary, at 1077 Balboa Avenue, Laguna Beach, CA 92651. Submissions that are received that meet the criteria described above will be forwarded to the Board for further review and consideration. The Board will not evaluate candidates proposed by stockholders any differently than other candidates
Compensation Committee. The board of directors has no compensation committee.
Audit Committee Financial Expert. Our board of directors does not have an “audit committee financial expert,” within the meaning of such phrase under applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, serving on its audit committee. The board believes that its current audit committee is able to fulfill its role under SEC regulations despite not having a designated “audit committee financial expert.” We believe the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. Further, because of our start-up operations, we believe the services of a financial expert are not warranted.
Audit Committee. Presently, the board of directors acts as the audit committee. The board of directors does not have an audit committee financial expert. The board of directors has not yet recruited an audit committee financial expert to join the board of directors because we have only recently commenced a significant level of financial operations.

Changes in Control. Our management is not aware of any arrangements which may result in “changes in control” as that term is defined by the provisions of Item 403(c) of Regulation S-K.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.
Related party transactions.
In January 2002, we issued 5,000,000 shares of our common stock to Eric Kennedy, who was our founder and one of our officers and directors at inception and through April 2007. These shares were issued in exchange for expenses and services of $5,000 related to our incorporation, or $0.001 per share, which represented the fair market value on the date of issuance. There is no written agreement for this transaction.
From our inception through September 30, 2007, we utilized office space of our officer and stockholder at no charge. We treated the usage of the office space as additional paid-in capital and charged the estimated fair value rent of $100 per month to operations. From October 1, 2007, through December 31, 2008, we utilized office space of our officer and stockholder in exchange for $1,000 per month. We recorded total rent expense of $12,000 and $3,900 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. There is no written agreement for this transaction.
In May 2007, we entered into a strategic relationship with Fliva, Inc. Specifically, we entered into a convertible promissory note and warrant agreement with Fliva, Inc. pursuant to which we loaned $25,000 to Fliva, Inc. in exchange for the right to convert those funds into shares of common stock of Fliva, Inc. and the right to purchase additional shares of common stock of Fliva, Inc. On November 8, 2007, we converted the note receivable balance of $25,000 into 625,000 shares of Fliva’s common stock at the conversion rate of $0.04 per share. In addition, as consideration for converting the note receivable, the warrants were exercised in exchange for accrued interest of $625 resulting in us receiving an additional 62,500 shares of Fliva’s common stock. On November 12, 2007, Fliva, Inc. was acquired by Magic Cow, Inc. pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement, which resulted in our 687,500 shares of common stock of Fliva, Inc. being exchanged for 201,343 shares of common stock of Magic Cow, Inc. Minority shareholders of Magic Cow, Inc. are members of Cake Ventures LLC, one of our principal shareholders. During 2008, Magic Cow, Inc. changed its name to Adisn, Inc.
On January 4, 2008, we entered into a convertible promissory note for $3,000 with one of our minority shareholders. The note bears interest of 10% and has a maturity date of January 1, 2009. The conversion price is $0.10 per share. In May 2008, the original note holder assigned all rights, title and interest of the convertible note payable. In February 2009, the maturity date of this note was extended to January 4, 2010.
On April 15, 2008, we entered into a promissory note agreement to obtain a loan for $13,000 from one of our principal shareholders. On July 29, 2008, we entered into a promissory note agreement to obtain a loan for $4,500 from the same principal shareholder. On September 29, 2008, we entered into a promissory note agreement to obtain a loan for $6,000 from the same principal shareholder. On January 16, 2009, we entered into a promissory note agreement to obtain a loan for $4,625 from the same principal shareholder. Under the terms of those promissory note agreements, the principal and any unpaid accrued interest shall be due and payable on demand. The notes accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum. We believe that each report transaction and relationship is on terms that are at least as fair to us as would be expected if those transactions were negotiated with third parties.
There have been no other related party transactions, or any other transactions or relationships required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K.
With regard to any future related party transaction, we plan to fully disclose any and all related party transactions, including, but not limited to, the following:
· | disclose such transactions in prospectuses where required; |
· | disclose in any and all filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, where required; |
· | obtain disinterested directors consent; and |
· | obtain shareholder consent where required. |
Director Independence. Members of our Board of Directors are not independent as that term is defined by defined in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.

The aggregate fees billed in each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and quarterly review of the financial statements included in our Form 10-K or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years were $23,837 and $20,015, respectively.
Audit-Related Fees. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively we were billed a total of $3,938 and $5,200 by a separate accountant for consulting services in preparation for the annual audit and quarterly reviews of the financial statements.

All Other Fees. None.
Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. Prior to engaging our accountants to perform a particular service, our board of directors obtains an estimate for the service to be performed. All of the services described above were approved by the board of directors in accordance with its procedures.
