PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
History
- -------
Appian, Inc. formerly Funnlecloud, Inc. and Cyberexcellence, Inc. (the
"Company") was formed as a Nevada corporation on February 15, 1996, for the
purpose of specializing in Internet "virtual mall" development. The Company
changed its name to Funnelcloud, Inc. in April 2003 and to Appian, Inc. May 10,
2004. The Company was one of over 40 related companies whose plan was to create
a virtual mall with theme based stores to sell merchandise over the Internet.
The Company's former parent, Axia Group, Inc. (f/k/a CyberAmerica Corporation),
a fully reporting company under the Exchange Act of 1934, through its now
defunct subsidiary CyberMalls, Inc. was in the process of developing a
specialized search engine. This search engine was designed to assist consumers
in the purchase of products by narrowing the number of responses received when
searching for a specific product. However, due to a lack of necessary funding
CyberMalls, Inc.'s plans to create the search engine were dis continued.
Consequently, the plans to create a virtual mall with at least 40 theme based
stores with the 40 related companies including the Company's theme based virtual
store were abandoned. The Company became a "blank check" or "shell" company
during the last quarter of 1996 as a result of the inability of the Company's
then parent to sufficiently fund the Company's planned operations and is
currently seeking a business or businesses to acquire.
General
- -------
The Company is a "blank check" or "shell" corporation that seeks to identify and
complete a merger or acquisition with a private entity whose business presents
an opportunity for Company shareholders. The Company's management will review
and evaluate business ventures for possible mergers or acquisitions. The Company
has not yet entered into any agreement, nor does it have any commitment or
understanding to enter into or become engaged in a transaction, as of the date
of this filing. Further, the business objectives discussed herein are extremely
general and are not intended to restrict the discretion of the Company's
management.
A decision to participate in a specific business opportunity will be made based
upon a Company analysis of the quality of the prospective business opportunity's
management and personnel, asset base, the anticipated acceptability of business'
products or marketing concepts, the merit of a business plan, and numerous other
factors which are difficult, if not impossible, to analyze using any objective
criteria.
-3-
Selection of a Business
- -----------------------
The Company anticipates that potential business opportunities will be referred
from various sources, including its officers and directors, professional
advisors, securities broker-dealers, venture capitalists, persons involved in
the financial community, and others who may present unsolicited proposals. The
Company will not engage in any general solicitation or advertising for a
business opportunity, and will rely on the personal contacts of Management and
their affiliates, as well as indirect associations with other business and
professional people.
On June 16, 2005, Appian, Inc. purchased all the stock of Tolga Media Group,
Inc., a Nevada corporation. There will be no impact on the financial statements
of Appian, Inc. as Tolga Media Group, Inc. has no operating history and
currently there are no operations in Tolga Media Group, Inc. This stock purchase
agreement brings the knowledge and experience of Tolga Katas and Christine Marie
to Appian, Inc. as they both will serve as directors of Appian, Inc.
Government Regulation
- ---------------------
It is impossible to anticipate government regulations, if any, to which the
Company may be subject until it has acquired an interest in a business. The use
of assets to conduct a business which the Company may acquire could subject it
to environmental, public health and safety, land use, trade, or other
governmental regulations and state or local taxation. In selecting a business in
which to acquire an interest, management will endeavor to ascertain, to the
extent of the limited resources of the Company, the effects of such government
regulation on the prospective business of the Company. In certain circumstances,
however, such as the acquisition of an interest in a new or start-up business
activity, it may not be possible to predict with any degree of accuracy the
impact of government regulation. The inability to ascertain the effect of
government regulation on a prospective business activity will make the
acquisition of an interest in such business a higher risk.
-4-
Competition
- -----------
The Company will be involved in intense competition with other business
entities, many of which will have a competitive edge over the Company by virtue
of their stronger financial resources and prior experience in business. There is
no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining suitable business
opportunities.
Employees
- ---------
The Company is a development stage company and currently has no employees.
Executive officers will devote only such time to the affairs of the Company as
they deem appropriate, which is estimated to be approximately 5 hours per month.
Management of the Company expects to use consultants, attorneys, and accountants
as necessary, and does not anticipate a need to engage any full-time employees
so long as it is identifying and evaluating businesses. The need for employees
and their availability will be addressed in connection with a decision whether
or not to acquire or participate in a specific business venture.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Company currently maintains its offices at 4014 Splendor Way, Salt Lake
City, Utah 84124. The Company pays no rent for the use of this address. The
Company does not believe that it will need to maintain an office at any time in
the foreseeable future in order to carry out the plan of operation described
herein.
-5-
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is currently not a party to any legal proceedings.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matter was submitted during the fiscal year covered by this report to a vote
of security holders, therefore rendering this item inapplicable.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON
EQUITY AND OTHER SHAREHOLDER MATTERS
The Company currently has no public trading market. The Company intends to have
Form 15c-(2)(11) filed on its behalf once a suitable business acquisition or
merger has been completed in an effort to obtain a listing on the NASD over the
counter bulletin board and create a public market. Management believes that the
creation of a public trading market for the Company's securities would make the
Company a more attractive acquisition or merger candidate. However, there is no
guarantee that the Company will obtain a listing on the NASD over-the-counter
bulletin board or that a public market for the Company's securities will develop
or, if such a market does develop, that it will continue, even if a listing on
the NASD over the counter bulletin board is obtained.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
- ---------------------------------------
There were no sales of unregistered securities during the quarter ended March
31, 2005.
Record Holders
- --------------
As of March 31, 2005, there were eighty-one (81) shareholders of record holding
a total of 11,598,118 shares of Common Stock. The holders of the Common Stock
are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted
to a vote of stockholders. Holders of the Common Stock have no preemptive rights
and no right to convert their Common Stock into any other securities. There are
no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock.
Dividends
- ---------
The Company has not declared any dividends since inception and does not
anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of
dividends is within the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on
the Company's earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, and other
relevant factors. There are no restrictions that currently limit the Company's
ability to pay dividends on its Common Stock other than those generally imposed
by applicable state law.
-6-
ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Plan of Operations
- ------------------
The Company's plan of operation for the coming year, as discussed above, is to
identify and acquire a favorable business opportunity. The Company does not plan
to limit its options to any particular industry, but will evaluate each
opportunity on its merits. The Company anticipates that its owners, affiliates,
and consultants will provide it with sufficient capital to continue operations
until the end of the year 2005, but there can be no assurance that this
expectation will be fully realized.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
The Company's plan of operation for the coming year, is to identify and acquire
a favorable business opportunity. The Company does not plan to limit its options
to any particular industry, but will evaluate each opportunity on its merits.
The Company anticipates that its owners, affiliates, and consultants will
provide it with sufficient capital to continue operations until the end of the
year 2005, but there can be no assurance that this expectation will be fully
realized.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
As of March 31, 2005, the Company had no major assets. The Company is currently
authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 11,598,118
shares are issued and outstanding, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, none
of which is outstanding as of March 31, 2005. Management is hopeful that
becoming a reporting company will increase the number of prospective business
ventures that may be available to the Company. Management believes that the
Company has sufficient resources to meet the anticipated needs of the Company's
operations through at least the calendar year ending December 31, 2005. The
Company anticipates that its major shareholders will contribute sufficient funds
to satisfy the cash needs of the Company through calendar year ending December
31, 2005. However, there can be no assurances to that effect, as the Company has
no revenues and the Company's need for capital may change dramatically if it
acquires an interest in a business opportunity during that period. Further, the
Company has no plans to raise additional capital through private placements or
public registration of its securities until a merger or acquisition candidate is
identified. Upon consummation of a merger, the Company may decide to file the
necessary and appropriate registration statements to register the affiliates'
shares. In addition, it is the position of the small business division the
securities and exchange commission that promoters or affiliates of blank check
companies, as well as their transferees, are deemed to be "underwriters" of the
securities issued both before and after any business combination.
-7-
The Company projects that its operating requirements will not exceed $15,000
over the next twelve months. If no acquisition candidate is found for the
Company during this time, Management will loan the Company sufficient funds to
cover these costs over the next twelve months. Management will prepare the
necessary documentation to keep the Company current with its reporting
requirements with the Securities & Exchange Commission and those costs will
accrue on the Company's balance sheet. In the event that a merger or acquisition
occurs over the next twelve months, the target company will be responsible for
paying these costs back to the major shareholders, or the major shareholders may
waive these costs depending on the nature of the acquisition or merger
transaction.

Notes to Financial Statements
1. Organization
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on February
15, 1996 with the name of "Cyberexcellence, Inc." with authorized common stock
of 20,000,000 shares at $0.001 par value, and authorized preferred stock of
5,000,000 shares at $0.001 par value. The Company changed its name to
Funnelcloud, Inc. and on May 10, 2004 changed its name to Appian, Inc. On May
10, 2004 the authorized common capital stock was increased to 100,000,000 shares
with the same par value. Ther terms of the preferred capital stock has not been
determined by management.
The Company is in the development stage and has not commenced any significant

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Accounting Methods
- ------------------
The Company recognized income and expenses based on the accrual method of
accounting.
Dividend Policy
- ---------------
The Company has not adopted a policy regarding payment of dividends.
Income Taxes
- ------------
The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under
the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based
on the differences between financial reporting and tax bases of the assets and
liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be
in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against
deferred tax assets is recognized when it is more likely than not that such tax
benefits will not be realized.
On March 31, 2005, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward of
$185,639. The tax benefit of approximately $56,000 form the loss carryforward
has been fully offset by a valuation reserve because the use of the future tax
benefit is doubtful since the Company has no operations. The net operating loss
will expire starting in 2014through 2026. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
F-6
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
- ---------------------------------------------
Basic net income (loss) per share amounts are computed based on the weighted
average number of shares actually outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per
share amounts are computed using the weighted average number of common shares
and common equilivent shares outstanding as if shares had been issued on the
exercise of any common or preferred share rights unless the exercise becomes
antidilutive and then only the basic per share amounts are shown in the report.
Financial and Concentration Risk
- --------------------------------
The Company does not have any concentration or related financial credit risk.
Revenue Recognition
- -------------------
Revenue will be recognized on the sale and delivery of a product or the
completion of a service provided.
Advertising and Market Development
- ----------------------------------
The company will expense advertising and market development costs as incurred.
Estimates and Assumptions
- -------------------------
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of the
assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities,
and the reported revenues and expenses. Acutal results could vary from the
estimates that were assumed in preparing those financial statements.
Financial Instruments
- ---------------------
The carrying amounts of financial instruments are considered by management to be
their estimated fair values.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
- --------------------------------
The Company does not expect that the adoption of other recent accounting
pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.

upon obtaining
working capital for any future planned activity and management of the Company
will be required to develop a strategy which will accomplish this objective.
