Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures. On an on-going basis, management evaluates these estimates and assumptions, including but not limited to those related to revenue recognition and the impairment of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditi ons.
The Company recognizes revenue on arrangements in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements’ and No. 104, “Revenue Recognition”. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
Product sales and shipping revenues, net of promotional discounts, rebates, and return allowances, are recorded when the products are shipped and title passes to customers. Retail sales to customers are made pursuant to a sales contract that provides for transfer of both title and risk of loss upon our delivery to the carrier. Return allowances, which reduce product revenue, are estimated using historical experience. Revenue from product sales and services rendered is recorded net of sales taxes. Amounts received in advance for subscription services, are deferred and recognized as revenue over the subscription term.
The most important metric by which we judge the Company’s performance now and in the near term is top line sales growth. Our current commitment to develop and deliver quality products means that, for the near future, bottom line profitability will be a poor indicator of our success.
Since investors are certain to be the primary, near term source of liquidity to support our development and marketing efforts, our liquidity will be driven by our ability to attract repeat investments from current shareholders and to find new ones. This in turn may be materially impacted by the general investment climate.
Our primary marketing challenge for the coming 12 months is to achieve market awareness through our web portals currently under development and anticipated to be completed for beta testing in the fourth quarter of 2010. Additionally, management is seeking new acquisitions to complement existing products.

Revenues
These forward-looking statements, pertaining to revenues, are based on our management’s current expectations and beliefs and involve numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. You should not rely upon these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events because we cannot assure you that the events or circumstances reflected in these statements will be achieved or will occur. As our revenues commence, we plan to invest in marketing and sales by increasing the number of direct sales throughout our web portal to build brand awareness. We expect that in the future, marketing and sales expenses will increase in absolute dollars commencing in the third quarter of 2010 when our websites have been completed it’s beta testing and is available for customers. We do not expect our revenues to increase significantly until fourth quarter of 2010.
General and Administrative Expenses
We expect that general and administrative expenses associated with executive compensation will increase in the future. Although our current president, chief financial officer and sole director have foregone full salary payments during the initial stages of the business, anticipated to commence revenues in the fourth quarter of 2010. In addition, we believe in the 2011 fiscal year that the compensation packages required to attract the senior executives the Company requires to execute against its business plan will increase our total general and administrative expenses.
Summary of Condensed Results of Operations
Any measurement and comparison of revenues and expenses from continuing operations should not be considered necessarily indicative or interpolated as the trend to forecast our future revenues and results of operations.

Legal and Accounting Expenses.Legal and Accounting expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were $500 as compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Impact of Inflation
We believe that the rate of inflation has had negligible effect on our operations. We believe we can absorb most, if not all, increased non-controlled operating costs by increasing sales prices, whenever deemed necessary and by operating our Company in the most efficient manner possible.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. Since its inception, the Company has been funded by its founders and through its initial public offering.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
