NOTES TO CONDENSEDFINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Business

BIRCH BRANCH, INC. (“the Company”) was incorporated in State of Colorado on September 29, 1989.  The Company was formed to pursue real estate development in Nebraska, and has completed construction on a Studio/private museum/bed and breakfast rental facility. There were four additional lots included in this development, which were being held as investments for potential future development or sale.

In December, 2006 all of the property described above was sold pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated December 6, 2006, between the Company and the Company's then President ("Purchaser"). The consideration received by the Company consisted of 4,167 shares of Company common stock that was owned by the Purchaser together with the cancellation of a note due to Purchaser with a principal amount due of $430,000, secured by the Company's assets, all related accrued interest and the release of the Company from all other liabilities due to Purchaser.

The Company currently has no operations and since July 1, 2002 is considered a development stage enterprise. Effective December 6, 2006 the Company intends to evaluate structure and complete a merger with, or acquisition of, prospects consisting of private companies, partnerships or sole proprietorships.

Summary of Accounting Basis of Presentation

The condensed interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed interim financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report to the Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, filed on Form 10-K on September 30, 2009.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to summarize fairly the financial position and results of operations for such periods in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the most recent interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  The Company continually monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions with which it invests.

Development Stage Company

The Company is in the development stage and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations.  The Company’s business plan is to evaluate structure and complete a merger with, or acquisition of, prospects consisting of private companies, partnerships or sole proprietorships.

Based upon the Company’s business plan, it is a development stage enterprise.  Accordingly, the Company presents its financial statements in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America that apply in establishing operating enterprises.  As a development stage enterprise, the Company discloses the deficit accumulated during the development stage and the cumulative statements of operations and cash flows from inception to the current balance sheet date.

5

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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Management believes that the estimates utilized in the preparation of financial statements are prudent and reasonable.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principals in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern.  However, the Company has negative working capital, a stockholders’ deficit and no active business operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

In view of these matters, the Company will need to continue to be dependent on its officer and directors in order to meet its liquidity needs during the next fiscal year.  There is no assurance that the Company’s officer and directors will fund the necessary operating capital, or that revenues will commence sufficient to assure the eventual profitability of the Company. Management believes that this plan provides an opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern

Change in Control and Plan of Reorganization

On September 26, 2006 the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with Fluid Audio Networks, Inc. ("FAN") under which, following a proposed 3.75 for 1 forward stock split of the outstanding common stock of the Company, the Company would issue 10,269,528 shares of common stock to acquire all of the outstanding common stock of FAN. Additionally, the Company was to divest itself of its real estate assets by conveying these assets to its President in exchange for the assumption of all the parent company debt and cancellation of 16,667 (post split) shares of its common stock held by its President and transferred to it. The Company's President was to convey for cancellation an additional 16,667 shares (post split) of the Company's common stock in exchange for a payment of $500,000.

The Agreement and Plan of Reorganization was subject to certain significant contingencies which must have been resolved by November 30, 2006 in order for the transaction to close. As of November 30, 2006, several contingencies had not been satisfied, therefore, following a brief extension of time to attempt to clear the open contingencies, which was not successful, the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization was terminated without any further commitment or obligation by the Company.

On December 6, 2006 a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) was made by and between Mathis Family Partners, Ltd., Lazzeri Family Trust and Timothy Brasel and /or assigns, collectively, they are referred to herein as the (“Investor”) and Schumacher & Associates, Inc. Money Purchase Plan & Trust, a shareholder of the Company and Michael L. Schumacher, the Company’s past President, collectively, they are referred to herein as the (“Seller”).  In the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Seller agreed to sell 254,167 fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock to Investor for an aggregate of $450,000 cash.  As a result of the purchase of the shares of the Company’s common stock Investor owns approximately 59.81% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company which resulted in a change in control of the Company.

Reverse Stock Split

On June 1, 2007 the shareholders of the Company, at a special meeting, approved a 1-for-3 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, no par value per share, with no change in the number of authorized shares of common stock and with any fractional shares rounded up to a whole share.  The reverse stock split was effective on June 4, 2007.

In connection with the 1-for-3 reverse stock split, all historical common shares amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the stock split mentioned above.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events,” which establishes general standards of accounting for, and disclosures of, events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This pronouncement is effective for interim or fiscal periods ending after June 15, 2009. Accordingly, the Company adopted these provisions of FASB ASC Topic 855 on June 30, 2009. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 855 resulted in additional disclosures with respect to subsequent events. See Note 5, Subsequent Events, for this additional disclosure.

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,” as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP. FASB ASC Topic 105 does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative U.S. GAAP by providing all authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. All existing accounting standard documents will be superseded and all other accounting literature not included in the FASB Codification will be considered non-authoritative. These provisions of FASB ASC Topic 105 are effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and, accordingly, are effective for the Company for the current fiscal reporting period. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations, but will impact our financial reporting process by eliminating all references to pre-codification standards. On the effective date of this Statement, the Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards, and all other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification became non-authoritative.

NOTE 2 – SHAREHOLDERS’S (DEFICIT)

On January 23, 2007, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) with Mathis Family Partners, Ltd. (“Mathis”), Lazzeri Family Trust (“Lazzeri”) and Timothy Brasel (“Brasel”), collectively, they are referred to herein as the “the Lender”, to borrow up to $250,000, evidenced by an unsecured Revolving Loan Note (the “Revolving Loan Note.”). In connection with and as a loan fee for the foregoing unsecured credit facility, Mathis, Lazzeri and Brasel each received 320,754, 320,754 and 641,506 unregistered shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock.  The Company recorded a Deferred Loan fee of $5,000 that is amortized over the 5 year term of the Revolving Credit Agreement.
