NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008 AND
THE PERIOD FROM SEPTEMBER 22, 2004 (Date of Inception) TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2009
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION:
BSV IV, Inc. (a Development Stage Company) (the Company) was incorporated on September 22, 2004, in the State of Colorado, for the purpose of conducting a public distribution of securities (the Proposed Distribution) and then effecting a merger, acquisition or other business combination transaction (Business Combination) with an unidentified privately-held company (a Target). The Company's business strategy is also referred to as a "blind pool" because neither the management of the Company nor the persons who acquire securities in the Proposed Distribution know what the business of the Company will ultimately be. The Company is in the development stage and has had no significant business activity to date. The Company has adopted a fiscal year end of December 31, however upon merger the Company intends to adopt the fiscal period of the target.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN:
The Company has been in the development stage since its inception in 2004 to present and has incurred losses from its inception through September 30, 2009 amounting to $31,713. The Company's ability to meet its future obligations is dependent upon its ability to complete its SEC registration, raise capital and close on a potential business combination as discussed in Note 1. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing merger and business combinations and believes that the necessary capital and the future acquisition of business will take place and will provide for the Company to continue as a going concern.
The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need additional capital resources. Management's plans to obtain such resources for the Company include (1) obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses, and (2) seeking out and completing a merger with an existing operating company. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon management's ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraphs and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008 AND
THE PERIOD FROM SEPTEMBER 22, 2004 (Date of Inception) TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2009
NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Basis of Accounting:
The Company’s policy is to prepare its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting.
Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income Taxes:
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes as prescribed by FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. This method requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax and financial reporting bases of certain assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Earnings Per Common Share:
The Company follows FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. ASC 260 simplifies the standards for computing earnings per share (EPS) and makes them comparable to international EPS standards. Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted. Net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Subsequent Events:
FASB ASC 855, Subsequent Events, modified the subsequent event guidance. The three modifications to the subsequent events guidance are: 1) To name the two types of subsequent events either as recognized or non-recognized subsequent events, 2) To modify the definition of subsequent events to refer to events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statement are issued or available to be issued and 3) To require entities to disclose the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date, i.e. whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. This guidance is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009, and should be applied prospectively.
The interim financial statements were approved by management and were issued on November 23, 2009. Subsequent events have been evaluated through this date.
NOTE 4 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY:
On September 22, 2004, the Company issued two million four hundred eighty five thousand three hundred thirty eight (2,485,338) shares of its Class A common stock and one hundred fifty thousand (150,000) shares of its Class B common stock at inception. The shares were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") and are restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Act.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 AND 2008 AND
THE PERIOD FROM SEPTEMBER 22, 2004 (Date of Inception) TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2009
NOTE 4 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (Continued):
The Company's Board of Directors has the power to issue any or all of the authorized but unissued Common Stock without stockholder approval. The Company currently has no commitments to issue any shares of common stock. However, the Company will, in all likelihood, issue a substantial number of additional shares in connection with a business combination. Since the Company expects to issue additional shares of common stock in connection with a business combination, the ultimate ownership of the gift share donees is likely to be less than 5% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company. It is impossible to predict whether a business combination will ultimately result in dilution to donees. If the target has a relatively weak balance sheet, a business combination may result in significant dilution. If a target has a relatively strong balance sheet, there may be no dilution.
The Company authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Currently, there are no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Additional paid-in-capital represents professional fees incurred by the Company which have been paid by a related entity (See note 6).
NOTE 5 – EARNINGS PER SHARE:
The Company accounts for earnings per share under,FASB ASC 260, Earnings per share, which requires presentation of basic earnings per share ("Basic EPS") and diluted earnings per share ("Diluted EPS"). The computation of Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.
The shares used in the computation are as follows:
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
| | | | | | |
Basic and Diluted EPS | | | 2,635,338 | | | | 2,635,338 | |
NOTE 6 – RELATED PARTIES:
The Company’s management (and original incorporators), through a common owned entity, have paid all expenses incurred by the Company, which includes professional fees and basic state and local fees and taxes. The related entity has committed to taking responsibility for all liabilities incurred by the Company through the date completion of a business transaction as described in Note 1. Therefore, the Company reflects all expenses paid on their behalf in their financial statements and records as additional paid-in-capital.
NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES:
As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had deferred tax assets recognized of approximately $12,000 and $8,000 respectively, with equal corresponding valuation allowances. The deferred tax asset is a result of a net operating loss carryforward.

Plan of Operation
BSV IV, Inc. (a Development Stage Company) (the “Company”) was incorporated on September 22, 2004, in the State of Colorado for the purpose of conducting a public distribution of securities (the Proposed Distribution) and then effecting a merger, acquisition or other business combination transaction (Business Combination) with an unidentified privately-held company (a Target). We currently have no definitive agreements or understanding with any prospective business combination candidates and have not targeted any business for investigation and evaluation nor are there any assurances that we will find a suitable business with which to combine. The implementation of our business objectives is wholly contingent upon a business combination and/or the successful sale of securities in the Company.
On February 1, 2008, the Company voluntarily filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a Registration Statement on Form 10-SB therein registering the Company’s Class A Voting Common Stock, no par value, and Class B Non-Voting Common Stock, no par value, under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Form 10-SB went effective by operation of law on April 1, 2008 (60 days after the filing date) and since such date, the Company has been a reporting company and required to file periodic and current reports with the SEC under the Exchange Act.
The Company's business strategy is also referred to as a "blind pool" because neither the management of the Company nor the persons who acquire securities in the Proposed Distribution know what the business of the Company will ultimately be. The Company is in the development stage and has had no significant business activity to date. The Company has adopted a fiscal year end of December 31, however upon merger the Company intends to adopt the fiscal period of the Target.
The Company has not realized any revenues from operations since inception, and its plan of operation for the next twelve months is to locate a suitable acquisition or merger candidate and consummate a business combination. The Company may need additional cash advances from its stockholders or loans from other parties to pay for operating expenses until the Company consummates a merger or business combination with a privately-held operating company. Although it is currently anticipated that the Company can satisfy its cash requirements with additional cash advances or loans from other parties, if needed, for at least the next twelve months, the Company can provide no assurance that it can continue to satisfy its cash requirements for such period.
Management anticipates seeking out a target company through solicitation. Such solicitation may include newspaper or magazine advertisements, mailings and other distributions to law firms, accounting firms, investment bankers, financial advisors and similar persons, the use of one or more Internet websites and similar methods. No estimate can be made as to the number of persons who will be contacted or solicited. Management may engage in such solicitation directly or may employ one or more other entities to conduct or assist in such solicitation. Management and its affiliates will pay referral fees to consultants and others who refer target businesses for mergers into public companies in which management and its affiliates have an interest. Payments are made if a business combination occurs, and may consist of cash or a portion of the stock in the Company retained by management and its affiliates, or both.
The Company and/or its shareholders will supervise the search for target companies as potential candidates for a business combination. The Company and/or its shareholders may pay as their own expenses any costs incurred in supervising the search for a target company. The Company and/or its shareholders may enter into agreements with other consultants to assist in locating a target company and may share stock received by it or cash resulting from the sale of its securities with such other consultants.
As a result of our limited resources, we expect to effect only a single business combination. Accordingly, the prospects for our success will be entirely dependent upon the future performance of a single business. Unlike certain entities that have the resources to consummate several business combinations or entities operating in multiple industries or multiple segments of a single industry, we will not have the resources to diversify our operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses. A target business may be dependent upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services, in which case there will be an even higher risk that the target business will not prove to be commercially viable.
Our officers and directors are only required to devote a very limited portion of their time to our affairs on a part-time or as-needed basis. We expect to use outside consultants, advisors, attorneys and accountants as necessary, none of which will be hired on a retainer basis. We do not anticipate hiring any full-time employees so long as we are seeking and evaluating business opportunities.
We expect our present management to play no or minimal managerial role in the Company following a merger or business combination. Although we intend to scrutinize closely the management of a prospective target business in connection with our evaluation of a business combination with a target business, our assessment of management may be incorrect. We cannot assure you that we will find a suitable business with which to combine.
GOING CONCERN
The Company has been in the development stage since its inception in September 2004 to the present. The Company has no assets and has incurred losses from its inception through September 30, 2009 amounting to $31,713. The Company's ability to meet its future obligations is dependent upon its ability to raise capital and close on a potential business combination. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing merger and business combinations and believes that the necessary capital and the future acquisition of business will take place and will provide for the Company to continue as a going concern. In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need additional capital resources. Management's plans to obtain such resources for the Company include (1) obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses, and (2) seeking out and completing a merger with an existing operating company. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon management's ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraphs and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Results of Operations
The Company has not conducted any active operations since inception, except for its efforts to locate a suitable acquisition or merger transaction. No revenue has been generated by the Company during such period, and it is unlikely the Company will have any revenues unless it is able to effect an acquisition of or merger with another operating company, of which there can be no assurance.
Assets
At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had no cash and no other assets.
Liabilities
The Company’s total current liabilities at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were $8,979 and $6,107, respectively, comprised of accounts payable and accrued expenses. The increase in liabilities was due to an increase in legal and accounting fees incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of the Company’s annual and quarterly reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission following the Company’s filing a Form 10-SB with the SEC on February 1, 2008 and which went effective on April 1, 2008.
Stockholders’ Deficit
At September 30, 2009, the Company had a stockholders’ deficit of $8,979 compared to $6,107 at December 31, 2008. The increase was due to increased liabilities.
Revenues
To date, the Company has not generated any revenues.
Net Loss
For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company had a net loss of $10,214 and $18,126, respectively. From the Company’s date of inception (September 22, 2004) to September 30, 2009, the Company had a net loss of $31,713.
Expenses
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company had expenses of $10,214 compared to $18,126 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2008. The decrease was due to the Company’s delayed preparation and filing of the Company’s Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009. For the period from the Company’s inception on September 22, 2004 to September 30, 2009, the Company’s expenses were $31,713. These expenses consist of legal, accounting, audit and other professional service fees incurred in relation to the filing of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10-SB on February 1, 2008 and subsequently filed annual, quarterly and periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2009, the Company had no cash and no other assets. The Company’s current liabilities at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were $8,979 and $6,107, comprised of accounts payable and accrued expenses. The increase in liabilities was due to an increase in legal and accounting fees incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of the Company’s annual and quarterly reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. At September 30, 2009, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $31,713.
As explained in earlier in this Item 2, the Company is a “shell company” and is currently seeking a merger/acquisition candidate with sustainable operations. To date, the Company has not identified a suitable merger/acquisition candidate. The Company does not currently have the capital resources to meet its operating expenses for the next twelve months. The Company will need additional cash advances from its stockholder or loans from other parties to pay for operating expenses until the Company consummates a merger or business combination with a privately-held operating company. The Company’s independent auditors have expressed their doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The following is a summary of the Company's cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities:
| | For the Nine Months Ended | | | For the Period September 22, 2004 (Inception) to | |
| | September 30, 2009 | | | September 30, 2008 | | | September 30, 2009 | |
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities | | $ | (7,342 | ) | | $ | (14,382 | ) | | $ | (22,734 | ) |

| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Net Effect on Cash | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 0 | |
The Company has no assets and has generated no revenues since inception. The Company is also dependent upon the receipt of capital investment or other financing to fund its ongoing operations and to execute its business plan of seeking a combination with a private operating company. If continued funding and capital resources are unavailable at reasonable terms, the Company may not be able to implement its plan of operations.
At September 30, 2009, the Company had no capital resources available and primarily relies upon the issuance of common stock and additional capital contributions from its shareholders to fund administrative expenses pending acquisition of an operating company.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Controls and Procedures.
In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, our management is required to perform an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2009, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in this Report was (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and instructions for Form 10-Q.
Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures had the following deficiency:
| ● | We were unable to maintain any segregation of duties within our business operations due to our reliance on a single individual fulfilling the role of both our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer. While this control deficiency did not result in any audit adjustments to our interim or annual financial statements, it could have resulted in a material misstatement that might have been prevented or detected by a segregation of duties. Accordingly we have determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness. |
To the extent reasonably possible, given our limited resources, our goal is, upon consummation of a merger with a private operating company, to separate the responsibilities of principal executive officer and principal financial officer, intending to rely on two or more individuals. We will also seek to expand our current board of directors to include additional individuals willing to perform directorial functions. Since the recited remedial actions will require that we hire or engage additional personnel, this material weakness may not be overcome in the near term due to our limited financial resources. Until such remedial actions can be realized, we will continue to rely on the advice of outside professionals and consultants.
Changes in Internal Controls.
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
The Company is currently not a party to any pending legal proceedings and no such action by or to the best of its knowledge, against the Company has been threatened.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
On September 22, 2004, the day of its incorporation, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,485,338, shares of Class A Common Stock and 150,000 shares of Class B Common Stock to Messrs. Dyer, Eversull, and Brennan, Lane Capital Markets and Ms. Elizabeth Davis in consideration for services rendered. The Company issued these shares of Common Stock under the exemption from registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in light of the fact that the offering did not constitute a public offering.
No other securities have been issued for services. Neither the Registrant nor any person acting on its behalf offered or sold the securities by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising. No services were performed by any purchaser as consideration for the shares issued.
The Company's Board of Directors has the power to issue any or all of the authorized but unissued Common Stock without stockholder approval. The Company currently has no commitments to issue any shares of common stock. However, the Company will, in all likelihood, issue a substantial number of additional shares in connection with a business combination. Since the Company expects to issue additional shares of common stock in connection with a business combination, the ultimate ownership of the gift share donees is likely to be less than 5% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company. It is impossible to predict whether a business combination will ultimately result in dilution to donees. If the target has a relatively weak balance sheet, a business combination may result in significant dilution. If a target has a relatively strong balance sheet, there may be no dilution.
It should be noted that any shares held by affiliates or promoters of the Registrant may not be sold by such affiliates or promoters, or their transferees, pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. This is true for any such sale either before or after a business combination with an operating company or other person, regardless of technical compliance with the rule. The position of the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the SEC is that any such resale transaction under Rule 144 would appear to be designed to distribute or redistribute such shares to the public without coming within the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Therefore, these affiliates or promoters, or their transferees, can only resell the shares they hold as of the date hereof through a registration statement filed under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements.
