Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The Company had no revenues from operations during the fiscal year ended January 31, 1999, or during the first three quarters ended October 31, 1999. Management of the Company is in the process of settling all of the outstanding liabilities of the Company and attempting to repurchase or convert the outstanding preferred shares. When current management took control of the Company in December 1996, Mr. Eardley began the process of attempting to settle the outstanding obligations and convert or repurchase the outstanding preferred stock. At the commencement of this year he agreed to assume all of the outstanding judgements and promissory notes and attempt to settle these individually using his own funds. In September 1999, this agreement was memorialized in writing and Mr. Eardley agreed, subject to shareholder approval, to accept 610,711 post 100-for-1 reverse split shares as consideration for such assumption. During the quarter ended July 31, 1999, Mr. Eardley settled $421,169 of the outstanding judgements and during the quarter ended October 31, 1999, he settled $71,637 of the remaining outstanding judgments. In connection with attempting to locate a new business venture, the Company is proposing to reverse split the outstanding common stock at the rate of one share for each 100 shares outstanding. Following the reverse stock split, and the conversion or repurchase of the outstanding preferred shares, the Company intends to take advantage of any reasonable business proposal presented which management believes will provide the Company and its stockholders with a viable business opportunity. The Company has no funds with which to pursue a new business venture. The president of the Company has offered to advance an undetermined amount of funds for the Company to seek and locate a potential merger or acquisition candidate, and to postpone repayment of such advances until a new business venture is acquired. In addition, he has negotiated with counsel to perform legal services for the Company and to postpone payment for such services until a merger or acquisition transaction is completed. Management anticipates that it will negotiate with the owners of the new business venture to repay the advances from him and to pay the legal costs incurred by the Company through the consummation of an acquisition or merger. Mr. Eardley estimates that he will be able to advance sufficient funds to the Company to meet the Company's cash needs until a transaction with a new business venture can be consummated, but the amount of such funds will be contingent upon the costs of locating and consummating a transaction with a new business venture, which costs are impossible to estimate. If the funds advanced by the president are insufficient to locate a suitable business opportunity, he may seek additional advances on behalf of the Company from Mr. Howard M. Oveson, a principal shareholder of the Company. There is presently no agreement or specific arrangement with Mr. Oveson to provide such additional funds and there is no assurance that such funds would be available. The Company may also seek equity financing if additional funds are necessary through the sale of shares of its common stock. It is very unlikely that traditional forms of financing, such as bank loans, would be available to the Company. The investigation of specific business opportunities and the negotiation, drafting, and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents, and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and will require the Company to incur costs for payment of accountants, attorneys, and others. If a decision is made not to participate in or complete the acquisition of a specific business opportunity, the costs incurred in a related investigation will not be recoverable. Further, even if an agreement is reached for the participation in a specific business opportunity by way of investment or otherwise, the failure to consummate the particular transaction may result in the loss to the Company of all related costs incurred. Currently, management is not able to determine the time or resources that will be necessary to locate and acquire or merge with a business prospect. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to acquire an interest in any such prospects, products, or opportunities that may exist or that any activity of the Company, regardless of the completion of any transaction, will be profitable. If and when the Company locates a business opportunity, management of the Company will give consideration to the dollar amount of that entity's profitable operations and the adequacy of its working capital in determining the terms and conditions under which the Company would consummate such an acquisition. Potential business opportunities, no matter which form they may take, will most likely result in substantial dilution for the Company's shareholders due to the likely issuance of stock to acquire such an opportunity. If management fails to locate and complete a transaction with a merger candidate, it is likely that current management would resign and that the Company would eventually be dissolved by the State of Texas.
