DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION Emerging Alpha Corporation (the "Company") is considered to be in the development stage as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on February 10, 1993, for the purpose of seeking out business opportunities, including acquisitions, that the board of directors, in their discretion, believe to be good opportunities. The Company will be heavily dependent on the skills, talents, and abilities of its management to successfully implement its business plan. An affiliate of a director is expected to be the source for most business opportunities submitted to the Company. Due to its currently limited funds and to the fact that the Company will only receive limited capital from a public offering, it is likely that the Company will not be able to compete with larger and more experienced entities for business opportunities which are lower risk and are more attractive for such entities; business opportunities, in which the Company ultimately participates will likely be highly risky and speculative. Since inception, the Company's activities have been limited to capital formation. 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organizational costs relating to the expenses of incorporation will be amortized on a straight-line basis over five years. The financial statements for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 are unaudited, but in the opinion of the management of the Company, contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position at December 31, 1997, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the cash flows for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1997 and 1996. The results of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 1998. 3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company pays a consulting fee to the Vice President of Finance for financial services which includes office space and clerical services. Beginning in January 1995, and through December 1996, the consulting fee was $1,230 per month and during January to December 1997 the consulting fee was $750 per month (See Item 2 below.) Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION The Company has commenced no operations and has no activities. General and Administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1997 include $2,250 and $6,750 and 1996 include $3,750 and $11,250 in consulting fees respectively. 5 PART II.
