Interest Expense
The Company recognized interest expense in the amount of $1,913 and $4,399 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, compared to $1,260 and $3,740, respectively, during the prior year periods. The increase is due to the $40,000 note from affiliate issued in August 2016.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has undertaken steps to reduce its expenses and improve the Company's liquidity, including the previous sale and discontinuance of all operations.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. However, the Company currently has no operating activities. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to successfully complete a merger or acquisition or be able to maintain sufficient liquidity to continue to seek a merger or acquisition, in which case the Company might be forced to liquidate or seek protection under the Federal bankruptcy statutes, or both.
Net cash used by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $13,407 compared to $22,950 in the comparable period of 2015. The decrease was attributable to a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 along with a lower net loss.
As previously reported, on January 15, 2014, the Company issued 3,401,360 shares of unregistered common stock in a private placement to Lone Star Value Investors, LP, an entity controlled by a former director and officer of the Company, for cash proceeds of $50,000 and on June 6, 2014, Lone Star Value issued a promissory note to the Company in the principal amount of $50,000, the 2014 Note. Under the terms of the 2014 Note, interest on the outstanding principal amount accrues at a rate of 10% per annum and all amounts outstanding under the 2014 Note are due and payable on or before June 30, 2019.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective such that the information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

There were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting, known to the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer,that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
