ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
SMSA El Paso I Acquisition Corp. was organized on September 26, 2007 as a
Nevada corporation to effect the reincorporation of Senior Management Services
of El Paso Sunset, Inc., a Texas corporation, mandated by the plan of
reorganization discussed below. In accordance with the confirmed plan of
reorganization, our current business plan is to seek to identify a
privately-held operating company desiring to become a publicly held company by
merging with us through a reverse merger or acquisition. We are a development
stage company and a shell company as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities
Act of 1933, or the Securities Act, and Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act. As a shell company, we have no operations and
no or nominal assets. Although we have no assets or operations, we believe we
possess a stockholder base which will make us an attractive merger or
acquisition candidate to an operating, privately-held company seeking to become
publicly held. Our principal office is located at 12890 Hilltop Road, Argyle, TX
76226, and our telephone number is (972) 233-0300.
History
On January 17, 2007 Senior Management Services of El Paso Sunset, Inc. and
its affiliated companies, or collectively SMS Companies, filed a petition for
reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. On August
1, 2007, the bankruptcy court confirmed the First Amended, Modified Chapter 11
Plan, or the Plan, as presented by SMS Companies and their creditors.
During the three years prior to filing the reorganization petition, SMS
Companies operated a chain of skilled nursing homes in Texas, which prior to the
bankruptcy proceedings consisted of 14 nursing facilities, ranging in size from
approximately 114 beds to 325 beds. In the aggregate, SMS Companies provided
care to approximately 1,600 resident patients and employed over 1,400 employees.
A significant portion of the SMS Companies cash flow was provided by patients
covered by Medicare and Medicaid. The SMS Companies facilities provided
round-the-clock care for the health, well-being, safety and medical needs of its
patients. The administrative and operational oversight of the nursing facilities
was provided by an affiliated management company located in Arlington, Texas.
In 2005 SMS Companies obtained a secured credit facility from a financial
institution. The credit facility eventually was comprised of an $8.3 million
term loan and a revolving loan of up to $15 million which was utilized for
working capital and to finance the purchase of the real property on which 2 of
its nursing care facilities operated. By late 2006, SMS Companies were in an
"overadvance" position, whereby the amount of funds extended by the lender
exceeded the amount of collateral eligible to be borrowed under the credit
facility. Beginning in September 2006, SMS Companies entered into the first of a
series of forbearance agreements whereby the lender agreed to forebear from
declaring the financing in default provided SMS Companies obtained a commitment
from a new lender to refinance and restructure the credit facility. SMS
Companies were unsuccessful in obtaining a commitment from a new lender and on
January 5, 2007, the lender declared SMS Companies in default and commenced
foreclosure and collection proceedings. On January 9, 2007 the lender agreed to
provide an additional $1.7 million to fund payroll and permit a controlled
transaction to bankruptcy. Subsequently, on January 17, 2007 the SMS Companies
filed a petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.
Plan of Reorganization
Halter Financial Group, Inc. or HFG, participated with SMS Companies and
their creditors in structuring the Plan. As part of the Plan, HFG provided
$115,000 to be used to pay professional fees associated with the Plan
confirmation process. HFG was granted an option to be repaid through the
issuance of equity securities in 23 of the SMS Companies, including Senior
Management Services of El Paso Sunset, Inc.
HFG exercised the option, and as provided in the Plan, 80% of our
outstanding common stock, or 400,000 shares, was issued to HFG in satisfaction
of HFG's administrative claims. The remaining 20% of our outstanding common
stock, or 100,016 shares, was issued to 455 holders of unsecured debt. The
500,016 shares, or Plan Shares, were issued pursuant to Section 1145 of the
Bankruptcy Code.
As further consideration for the issuance of the 400,000 Plan Shares to
HFG, the Plan required HFG to assist us in identifying a potential merger or
acquisition candidate. HFG is responsible for the payment of our operating
expenses and HFG will provide us, at no cost, with consulting services,
including assisting us with formulating the structure of any proposed merger or
acquisition. Additionally, HFG is responsible for paying our legal and
accounting expenses related to this registration statement and our expenses
incurred in consummating a merger or acquisition.
4
We will remain subject to the jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court until we
consummate a merger or acquisition. Pursuant to the confirmation order, if we do
not consummate a business combination prior to February 10, 2009, the Plan
Shares will be deemed canceled, the pre-merger or acquisition injunction
provisions of the confirmation order, as they pertain to us, shall be deemed
dissolved and no discharge will be granted to us, all without further order of
the bankruptcy court. If we timely consummate a merger or acquisition with an
entity which is engaged in business, we will file a certificate of compliance
with the bankruptcy court which will state that the requirements of the Plan
have been met, resulting in the discharge to be deemed granted. Thereafter, the
post discharge injunction provisions set forth in the Plan and the confirmation
order shall then become effective.
Effective September 26, 2007, HFG transferred its 400,000 Plan Shares to
Halter Financial Investments L.P., or HFI, a Texas limited partnership
controlled by Timothy P. Halter.
Timothy P. Halter is the sole officer, director and shareholder of HFG and
an officer and member of Halter Financial Investments GP, LLC, general partner
of HFI. Mr. Halter served as our president and sole director from September 26,
2007 until January 1, 2008 when he was replaced by Richard Crimmins. Mr. Halter
and HFG will continue to assist us with the implementation of our business plan.
Business Plan
Our current business plan is to seek and identify a privately-held
operating company desiring to become a publicly held company by combining with
us through a reverse merger or acquisition type transaction. Private companies
wishing to have their securities publicly traded may seek to merge or effect an
exchange transaction with a shell company with a significant stockholder base.
As a result of the merger or exchange transaction, the stockholders of the
private company will hold a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the
shell company. Typically, the directors and officers of the private company
become the directors and officers of the shell company. Often the name of the
private company becomes the name of the shell company. We believe that by
becoming a reporting company, under the rules and regulations of the Exchange
Act, we will become a more suitable candidate to engage in a combination
transaction with a privately-held company.
We have no capital and must depend on HFG to provide us with the necessary
funds to implement our business plan. We intend to seek opportunities
demonstrating the potential of long-term growth as opposed to short-term
earnings. However, at the present time, we have not identified any business
opportunity that we plan to pursue, nor have we reached any agreement or
definitive understanding with any person concerning an acquisition or merger.
Timothy P. Halter will be primarily responsible for investigating business
combination opportunities. However, we believe that business opportunities may
also come to our attention from various sources, including HFG, professional
advisors such as attorneys, and accountants, securities broker-dealers, venture
capitalists, members of the financial community, and others who may present
unsolicited proposals. We have no plan, understanding, agreements, or
commitments with any individual for such person to act as a finder of
opportunities for us.
No direct discussions regarding the possibility of a business combination
are expected to occur until after the effective date of this registration
statement. We can give no assurances that we will be successful in finding or
acquiring a desirable business opportunity, given the limited funds that are
expected to be available to us for implementation of our business plan.
Furthermore, we can give no assurances that any acquisition, if it occurs, will
be on terms that are favorable to us or our current stockholders.
We do not propose to restrict our search for a candidate to any particular
geographical area or industry, and therefore, we are unable to predict the
nature of our future business operations. Our management's discretion in the
selection of business opportunities is unrestricted, subject to the availability
of such opportunities, economic conditions, and other factors.
Any entity which has an interest in being acquired by, or merging into us,
is expected to be an entity that desires to become a public company and
establish a public trading market for its securities. In connection with such a
merger or acquisition, it is anticipated that an amount of common stock
constituting control of us would either be issued by us or be purchased from
HFI.
We do not foresee that we will enter into a merger or acquisition
transaction with any business with which HFG, HFI, Timothy P. Halter or Richard
5
Crimmins is currently affiliated.
Investigation and Selection of Business Opportunities
Certain types of business acquisition transactions may be completed without
requiring us to first submit the transaction to our stockholders for their
approval. If the proposed transaction is structured in such a fashion our
stockholders (other than HFI our majority stockholder) will not be provided with
financial or other information relating to the candidate prior to the completion
of the transaction.
If a proposed business combination or business acquisition transaction is
structured that requires our stockholder approval, and we are a reporting
company, we will be required to provide our stockholders with information as
applicable under Regulations 14A and 14C under the Exchange Act.
The analysis of business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the
supervision of Timothy P. Halter. In analyzing potential merger candidates, we
will consider, among other things, the following factors:
* Potential for future earnings and appreciation of value of securities;
* Perception of how any particular business opportunity will be received by
the investment community and by our stockholders;
* Eligibility of a candidate, following the business combination, to qualify
its securities for listing on a national exchange or on a national
automated securities quotation system, such as NASDAQ;
* Historical results of operation;
* Liquidity and availability of capital resources;
* Competitive position as compared to other companies of similar size and
experience within the industry segment as well as within the industry as a
whole;
* Strength and diversity of existing management or management prospects that
are scheduled for recruitment;
* Amount of debt and contingent liabilities; and
* The products and/or services and marketing concepts of the target company.
There is no single factor that will be controlling in the selection of a
business opportunity. We will attempt to analyze all factors appropriate to each
opportunity and make a determination based upon reasonable investigative
measures and available data. Potentially available business opportunities may
occur in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of
which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such
business opportunities extremely difficult and complex. Because of our limited
capital available for investigation and our dependence on HFG and Timothy P.
Halter, we may not discover or adequately evaluate adverse facts about the
business opportunity to be acquired.
We are unable to predict when we may participate in a business opportunity.
We expect, however, that the analysis of specific proposals and the selection of
a business opportunity may take several months.
Prior to making a decision to participate in a business transaction, we
will generally request that we be provided with written materials regarding the
business opportunity containing as much relevant information as possible,
including, but not limited to, a description of products, services and company
history; management resumes; financial information; available projections, with
related assumptions upon which they are based; an explanation of proprietary
products and services; evidence of existing patents, trademarks, or service
marks, or rights thereto; present and proposed forms of compensation to
management; a description of transactions between such company and its
affiliates during the relevant periods; a description of present and required
facilities; an analysis of risks and competitive conditions; a financial plan of
operation and estimated capital requirements; audited financial statements, or
if audited financial statements are not available, unaudited financial
statements, together with reasonable assurance that audited financial statements
would be able to be produced to comply with the requirements of a Current Report
on Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or
Commission, upon consummation of the business combination.
As part of our investigation, Timothy P. Halter and our legal counsel may
meet personally with management and key personnel, may visit and inspect
material facilities, obtain independent analysis or verification of certain
provided information, check references of management and key personnel, and take
other reasonable investigative measures, to the extent of our limited financial
and management resources.
We believe that various types of potential candidates might find a business
combination with us to be attractive. These include candidates desiring to
create a public market for their securities in order to enhance liquidity for
current stockholders, candidates which have long-term plans for raising capital
6
through public sale of securities and believe that the prior existence of a
public market for their securities would be beneficial, and candidates which
plan to acquire additional assets through issuance of securities rather than for
cash, and believe that the development of a public market for their securities
will be of assistance in that process. Companies which have a need for an
immediate cash infusion are not likely to find a potential business combination
with us to be a prudent business transaction alternative.
Risk Factors Relating to Our Business Plan
Our business plan and our ability to successfully implement our business
plan are subject to certain risk factors, including, the following:
We will be unable to successfully implement our business plan if HFG does
not, or is unable, to provide us with adequate capital to conduct our
operations and pay the expenses necessary to consummate a business
combination.
We are dependent upon HFG to pay our operating expenses and to fund the
implementation of our plan of operation. If HFG fails, or is unable, to provide
us with adequate capital to conduct our business operations including the
implementation of our business plan, we may be unable to complete a merger or
acquisition on or before February 10, 2009 as required by the Plan. In such
event, Plan Shares held by HFI and our other stockholders will be cancelled and
voided and the discharge and injunction provisions of the confirmation order, as
they pertain to us, shall be deemed dissolved.
There is no trading market for our securities which could impair our
ability to find a suitable merger candidate.
There is no public trading market for our securities and there can be no
assurance that a trading market for our securities will exist if we complete a
business combination. Although we intend to make our shares eligible for trading
on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Plan provides that no active trading market shall
exist for our securities until after the consummation of a business combination.
The Plan further provides that our stockholders are enjoined from trading,
selling or assigning the shares of common stock they received pursuant to the
Plan until we consummate a business transaction. HFI, however, may transfer in a
private transaction, a portion of its shares of our common stock prior to the
consummation of a business combination to a single transferee or group of
transferees under common control and to HFI employees and representatives,
subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Any
such transfer shall be subject to the same restrictions as applicable to HFG
under the Plan. Until such time as our securities are eligible for quotation on
the OTC Bulletin Board, we will be at a competitive disadvantage with other
companies, including shell companies, who have publicly traded securities, in
attracting suitable candidates to participate in a business combination with us.
We have no agreement for a business combination and we do not have any
minimum requirements for a business combination.
We have no current arrangement, agreement or understanding with respect to
engaging in a business combination with a specific entity. We may not be
successful in identifying and evaluating a suitable merger candidate or in
consummating a business combination. We have not selected a particular industry
or specific business within an industry for a target company. We have not
established a specific length of operating history or a specified level of
earnings, assets, net worth or other criteria which we will require a target
company to have achieved, or without which we would not consider a business
combination with such business entity.
The loss of the services of Timothy P. Halter would adversely affect our
ability to implement our business plan.
Our management consists of only one person, Richard Crimmins, our president
and sole director. Mr. Crimmins will be primarily responsible for conducting our
day-to-day operations. However, Timothy P. Halter will be responsible for
implementing our business plan. We will rely solely on the judgment of Mr.
Halter when selecting a target company. Mr. Halter will only devote a limited
amount of his time each month to our business. Mr. Halter has not entered into a
written employment or consulting agreement with us and he is not expected to do
so. The loss of the services of Mr. Halter would adversely affect our ability to
implement our business plan.
7
Conflicts of interest may arise between us and our stockholders, and HFG
and Timothy P. Halter, during the implementation of our business plan which
may have a negative impact on our ability to consummate a business
transaction.
Timothy P. Halter is not required to commit his full time to our affairs,
which may result in a conflict of interest in allocating his time between our
operations and other businesses. We do not intend to have any full time
employees prior to the consummation of a business combination. Mr. Halter is
engaged in several other business endeavors and is not obligated to contribute
any specific number of hours to our affairs. If his other business affairs
require him to devote more substantial amounts of time to such interests, it
could limit his ability to devote time to our affairs and could have a negative
impact on our ability to consummate a business combination.
Mr. Halter, HFG and HFI, our majority stockholder, are affiliated with
other shell companies with business activities similar to those intended to be
conducted by us. Mr. Halter, HFG and HFI may become aware of business
opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as the
other entities to which they have fiduciary obligations. Accordingly, there may
be conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business
opportunity should be presented.
Depending upon the nature of a proposed transaction, our stockholders,
other than HFI, may not be afforded the opportunity to approve or consent to a
particular transaction.
To implement our business plan we may be required to employ accountants,
technical experts, appraisers, attorneys, or other consultants or advisors. The
selection of any such advisors will be made by Mr. Halter and their fees will be
paid by HFG. We anticipate that such persons may be engaged on an as needed
basis without a continuing fiduciary or other obligation to us. If Mr. Halter
considers it necessary to hire outside advisors, he may elect to hire persons
who are affiliates of HFG. Such advisors because of their relationship with HFG
and Mr. Halter may not fully consider our best interest in rendering advice and
services to us.
We have no cash and no operations and may not have access to sufficient
capital to consummate a business combination.
Payment of our operating expenses and expenses of implementing our business
plan is the responsibility of HFG. We may not be able to take advantage of any
available business opportunities because of the limited and uncertain
availability of capital. There is no assurance that HFG will have sufficient
capital to provide us with the necessary funds to successfully implement our
plan of operation or that HFG will continue to provide us with capital in the
future.
We will encounter significant competition in seeking mergers with and
acquisition of privately-held entitles which may impede our ability to
consummate business transactions.
We are and will continue to be an insignificant participant in the business
of seeking mergers with and acquisitions of privately-held business entities. A
large number of established and well-financed entities, including venture
capital firms, are active in seeking potential merger and acquisition candidates
for their clients and investors. Substantially all such entities have
significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial
capabilities than we have and, consequently, we will be at a competitive
disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully
completing a business combination. Moreover, we will also compete in seeking
merger or acquisition candidates with other public shell companies who may have
more available funds or other assets that make them a more attractive candidate
for a merger than we are.
Reporting requirements under the Exchange Act and compliance with the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 may delay or preclude a merger or acquisition.
The rules and regulations of the Commission require a reporting shell
company to timely provide in a Current Report on Form 8-K financial and other
information, including audited financial statements, of the acquired company if
we engage in a business combination, or if there is a change in our control. The
additional time and costs that may be incurred by the potential target company
to prepare audited financial statements and other information may significantly
delay or essentially preclude consummation of an otherwise desirable
acquisition.
We may be required to have our internal control procedures audited for the
fiscal year ending December 31, 2009 as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002. A target company may not be in compliance with provisions of the
8
Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding adequacy of their internal controls. The
development of the internal controls of any such entity to achieve compliance
with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may increase the time and costs necessary to
complete any such acquisition or result in our inability to consummate the
business transaction.
A business combination will result in a change in control of our company
and significantly reduce the ownership interest of our current
stockholders.
In conjunction with completion of a business acquisition, we anticipate
that we will issue an amount of our authorized but unissued common stock that
will represent a significant majority of the voting power and equity of our
company, which will, in all likelihood, result in stockholders of a target
company obtaining a controlling interest in us and thereby reducing the
ownership interest of our current stockholders. We may also issue preferred
stock to the stockholders of a target company. Holders of preferred stock may
have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing holders
of common stock. As a condition of the business combination, HFI, our majority
stockholder, may agree to sell or transfer all or a portion of the common stock
it owns to provide the target company with majority control. The resulting
change in control will likely result in the removal of our present officer and
director and a corresponding reduction in, or elimination of, his participation
in future business activities.
We may engage in a business combination with a foreign entity which will
subject us to additional business risks.
We may effectuate a business combination with a merger target whose
business operations or even headquarters, place of formation or primary place of
business are located outside the United States of America. In such event, we may
face the significant additional risks associated with doing business in that
country. In addition to the language barriers, different presentations of
financial information, different business practices, and other cultural
differences and barriers that may make it difficult to evaluate such a merger
target, we may encounter ongoing business risks associated with uncertain legal
systems and applications of law, prejudice against foreigners, corrupt
practices, uncertain economic policies and potential political and economic
instability that may be exacerbated in various foreign countries.
We may engage in a business combination that may have tax consequences to
us and our stockholders.
Federal and state tax consequences will, in all likelihood, be major
considerations in any business combination that we may undertake. Currently,
such transactions may be structured so as to result in tax-free treatment to
both companies and their stockholders, pursuant to various federal and state tax
provisions. We intend to structure any business combination so as to minimize
the federal and state tax consequences to both our company and the target entity
and their stockholders. However, there can be no assurance that such business
combination will meet the statutory requirements of a tax-free reorganization or
that the parties will obtain the intended tax-free treatment upon a transfer of
stock or assets. A non-qualifying reorganization could result in the imposition
of both federal and state taxes, which may have an adverse effect on both
parties to the transaction.
Competition
We expect to encounter substantial competition in our efforts to locate
potential business combination opportunities. The competition may in part come
from business development companies, venture capital partnerships and
corporations, small investment companies and brokerage firms. Most of these
organizations are likely to be in a better position than us to obtain access to
potential business acquisition candidates because they have greater experience,
resources and managerial capabilities than we do. We also will experience
competition from other public companies with similar business purposes, some of
which may also have funds available for use by an acquisition candidate.
Employees
We have no employees. Our president and sole director, Richard Crimmins,
will be responsible for managing our administrative affairs, including our
reporting obligations pursuant to the requirements of the Exchange Act. Upon
consummation of a business transaction, HFI has agreed to transfer to Mr.
Crimmins 1,000 shares of our common stock for his services. It is anticipated
that HFG and Timothy P. Halter will engage consultants, attorneys and
accountants as necessary for us to conduct our business operations and to
implement and successfully complete our business plan. We do not anticipate
employing any full-time employees until we have achieved our business purpose.
9
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Plan of Operation
As a shell company, we have no operations and no or nominal assets.
Although we have no assets or operations, we believe we possess a stockholder
base which will make us an attractive merger or acquisition candidate to an
operating privately-held company seeking to become publicly-held.
We intend to locate and combine with an existing, privately-held company
which has profitable operations or, in our management's view, potential for
earnings and appreciation of value of its equity securities, irrespective of the
industry in which it is engaged. A combination may be structured as a merger,
consolidation, exchange of our common stock for stock or assets or any other
form which will result in the combined companies becoming an operating
publicly-held corporation.
Pending negotiation and consummation of a business combination, we
anticipate that we will have, aside from carrying on our search for a
combination partner, no business activities, and, thus, will have no source of
revenue. Should we incur any significant liabilities prior to a combination with
a private company, we may not be able to satisfy such liabilities as they are
incurred.
If our management pursues one or more combination opportunities beyond the
preliminary negotiations stage and those negotiations are subsequently
terminated, it is likely that such efforts will exhaust our ability to continue
to seek such combination opportunities before any successful combination can be
consummated.
In our pursuit for a business combination partner, our management intends
to consider only combination candidates which are profitable or, in management's
view, have growth potential. Our management does not intend to pursue any
combination proposal beyond the preliminary negotiation stage with any
combination candidate which does not furnish us with audited financial
statements for its historical operations or can furnish audited financial
statements in a timely manner. HFG may engage attorneys and/or accountants to
investigate a combination candidate and to consummate a business combination. We
may require payment of fees by such merger candidate to fund all or a portion of
such expenses. To the extent we are unable to obtain the advice or reports from
experts, the risks of any combined business combination being unsuccessful will
be enhanced.
We are not registered and we do not propose to register as an investment
company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. We intend to conduct our
business activities so as to avoid application of the registration and other
provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the related regulations
thereunder.
We have no operating history, no cash, no assets and our business plan has
significant business risks. Because of these factors, our Independent Registered
Certified Public Accounting Firm has issued an audit opinion on our financial
statements which includes a statement describing our going concern status. This
means in our auditor's opinion, there is substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern.
Liquidity and Capital Resources.
We have no operations and will not generate any revenue until we consummate
a business combination. We will need funds to support our operation and
implementation of our plan of operation and to comply with the periodic
reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. HFG has agreed to fund the expenses
in implementing our plan of operation and to fund our operating expenses until
we complete a business combination. We believe sufficient working capital will
be provided by HFG for at least the next 12 months to support and preserve the
integrity of our corporate entity and to fund the implementation of our business
plan. If adequate funds are not available to us, we may be unable to complete
our plan of operation. If we do not consummate a business combination by
February 10, 2009 our Plan Shares will be cancelled and voided and the discharge
and injunction provisions of the confirmation order, as they pertain to us,
shall be deemed dissolved.
We have no current plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings with
respect to the sale or issuance of additional securities prior to the identity
of a merger or acquisition candidate and we do not anticipate that we will incur
any significant debt prior to a consummation of a business combination.
ITEM 3. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
We do not own property. We currently maintain a mailing address at 12890
Hilltop Road, Argyle, TX 76226. Our telephone number is (972) 233-0300. Other
than this mailing address, we do not currently maintain any other office
10
facilities, and do not anticipate the need for maintaining office facilities at
any time until we complete a business combination. We pay no rent or other fees
for the use of the mailing address. The facilities are also used by HFG for its
business operations. HFG provides us with the use of office equipment and
administrative services as necessary to conduct our business activities,
including the implementation of our business plan.

102, Frisco, Texas 75034 (telephone number 469.633.0100) as our transfer agent.
The Plan Shares have been issued and are being held by the transfer agent until
a business combination is consummated.
Reports to Stockholders
We plan to furnish our stockholders with an annual report for each fiscal
year ending December 31 containing financial statements audited by our
independent registered public accounting firm. In the event we enter into a
business combination with another company, we anticipate that management will
continue furnishing annual reports to stockholders. Additionally, we may, in our
sole discretion, issue unaudited quarterly or other interim reports to our
stockholders when we deem appropriate. Upon effectiveness of this registration
statement, we intend to maintain compliance with the periodic reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act.
Holders. As of March 12, 2008, there were a total of 500,016 shares of our
common stock outstanding, held by approximately 455 stockholders of record.
Dividends. We have not declared any dividends on our common stock since
inception and do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock in the
foreseeable future.
Securities Eligible for Future Sale
We relied, based on the confirmation order we received from the Bankruptcy
Court, on Section 1145(a) (1) of the Bankruptcy Code to exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, both the
offer of the Plan Shares which may have been deemed to have occurred through the
solicitation of acceptances of the plan of reorganization and the issuance of
the Plan Shares pursuant to the plan of reorganization. In general, offers and
sale of securities made in reliance on the exemption afforded under Section
1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code are deemed to be made in a public offering, so
that the recipients thereof, are free to resell such securities without
registration under the Securities Act.
We currently do not have any outstanding restricted securities as defined
in Rule 144. We do not intend to issue any securities prior to consummating a
business transaction. The securities we issue in a merger transaction will most
likely be restricted securities. Since we are a blank check or shell company, we
believe the resale of restricted securities we issue in a merger transaction
will be subject to the restrictions as stated below.
Rule 144
The SEC has recently adopted amendments to Rule 144 which will become
effective on February 15, 2008 and will apply to securities acquired both before
and after that date. Under these amendments, a person who has beneficially owned
restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months would be entitled
to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have
been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three
months preceding a sale, (ii) we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic
reporting requirements for at least 90 days before the sale and (iii) if the
sale occurs prior to satisfaction of a one-year holding period, we provide
current information at the time of sale.
Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock
for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or at any
time during the three months preceding a sale, would be subject to additional
restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any
three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater
of either of the following:
o 1% of the total number of securities of the same class then
outstanding; or
o the average weekly trading volume of such securities during the four
calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with
respect to the sale;
provided, in each case, that we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic
reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale.
Such sales by affiliates must also comply with the manner of sale, current
public information and notice provisions of Rule 144.
Restrictions on the Reliance of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell
Companies
Historically, the SEC staff has taken the position that Rule 144 is not
available for the resale of securities initially issued by companies that are,
or previously were, blank check companies, like us. The SEC has codified and
expanded this position in the amendments discussed above by prohibiting the use
of Rule 144 for resale of securities issued by any shell companies (other than
business combination related shell companies) or any issuer that has been at any
time previously a shell company. The SEC has provided an important exception to
this prohibition, however, if the following conditions are met:
o The issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has
ceased to be a shell company;
o The issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements
of Section 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;
o The issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and
material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12
months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file
such reports and materials), other than Current Reports on Form 8-K;
and
o At least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed
current comprehensive disclosure with the SEC reflecting its status as
an entity that is not a shell company.
As a result, it is likely that pursuant to Rule 144, stockholders who receive
our restricted securities in a business combination will not be able to sell our
shares without registration until one year after we have completed our initial
business combination.
Rule 145
In the business combination context, Rule 145 has imposed on affiliates of
either the acquiror or the target company restrictions on public resales of
securities received in a business combination, even where the securities to be
issued in the business combination were registered under the Securities Act.
These restrictions were designed to prevent the rapid distribution of securities
into the public markets after a registered business combination by those who
were in a position to influence the business combination transaction. The recent
adopted amendments to Rule 145 eliminate these restrictions in most
circumstances.
18
Under the new amendments, affiliates of a target company who receive
registered shares in a Rule 145 business combination transaction, and who do not
become affiliates of the acquiror, will be able to immediately resell the
securities received by them into the public markets without registration (except
for affiliates of a shell company as discussed in the following section).
However, those persons who are affiliates of the acquiror, and those who become
affiliates of the acquiror after the acquisition, will still be subject to the
Rule 144 resale conditions generally applicable to affiliates, including the
adequate current public information requirement, volume limitations,
manner-of-sale requirements for equity securities, and, if applicable, a Form
144 filing.
Application of Rule 145 to Shell Companies
Public resales of securities acquired by affiliates of acquirers and target
companies in business combination transactions involving shell companies will
continue to be subject to restrictions imposed by Rule 145. If the business
combination transaction is not registered under the Securities Act, then the
affiliates must look to Rule 144 to resell their securities (with the additional
Rule 144 conditions applicable to shell company securities). If the business
combination transaction is registered under the Securities Act, then affiliates
of the acquirer and target company may resell the securities acquired in the
transaction, subject to the following conditions:
o The issuer must meet all of the conditions applicable to shell
companies under Rule 144;
o After 90 days from the date of the acquisition, the affiliates may
resell their securities subject to Rule 144's volume limitations,
adequate current public information requirement, and manner-of-sale
requirements;
o After six months from the date of the acquisition, selling
security-holders who are not affiliates of the acquirer may resell
their securities subject only to the adequate current public
information requirement of Rule 144; and
o After one year from the date of the acquisition, selling
security-holders who are not affiliates or the acquirer may resell
their securities without restriction.
ITEM 10. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
Pursuant to the plan of reorganization, we issued an aggregate of 500,016
shares of our common stock to 455 of our holders of unsecured debt and
administrative claims. Such shares were issued in accordance with Section 1145
under the United States Bankruptcy Code and the transaction was thus exempt from
the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933.
ITEM 11. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED
Capital Stock
Our authorized capital stock consists of 100 million shares of common stock
and 10 million shares of preferred stock. Each share of common stock entitles a
stockholder to one vote on all matters upon which stockholders are permitted to
vote. No stockholder has any preemptive right or other similar right to purchase
or subscribe for any additional securities issued by us, and no stockholder has
any right to convert the common stock into other securities. No shares of common
stock are subject to redemption or any sinking fund provisions. All the
outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.
Subject to the rights of the holders of the preferred stock, if any, our
stockholders of common stock are entitled to dividends when, as and if declared
by our board from funds legally available therefore and, upon liquidation, to a
pro-rata share in any distribution to stockholders. We do not anticipate
declaring or paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable
future.
Pursuant to our Articles of Incorporation, our board has the authority,
without further stockholder approval, to provide for the issuance of up to 10
million shares of our preferred stock in one or more series and to determine the
dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, rights in terms of
redemption, liquidation preferences, the number of shares constituting any such
series and the designation of such series. Our board has the power to afford
preferences, powers and rights (including voting rights) to the holders of any
preferred stock preferences, such rights and preferences being senior to the
rights of holders of common stock. No shares of our preferred stock are
currently outstanding. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares
of preferred stock, the issuance of shares of preferred stock, or the issuance
of rights to purchase such shares, may have the effect of delaying, deferring or
preventing a change in control of our company.
19
Provisions Having A Possible Anti-Takeover Effect
Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws contain certain provisions that
are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the
composition of our board and in the policies formulated by our board and to
discourage certain types of transactions which may involve an actual or
threatened change of our control. Our board is authorized to adopt, alter, amend
and repeal our Bylaws or to adopt new Bylaws. In addition, our board has the
authority, without further action by our stockholders, to issue up to 10 million
shares of our preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof. The issuance of our preferred
stock or additional shares of common stock could adversely affect the voting
power of the holders of common stock and could have the effect of delaying,
deferring or preventing a change in our control.
ITEM 12. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
Under Sections 78.751 and 78.752 of the Nevada Revised Statues, the
registrant has broad powers to indemnify and insure its directors and officers
against liabilities they may incur in their capacities as such. The registrant's
Bylaws implement the indemnification and insurance provisions permitted by
Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes by providing that:
o The registrant must indemnify its directors to the fullest extent
permitted by Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes and may, if and
to the extent authorized by the registrant's board of directors, so
indemnify its officers and any other person whom it has power to
indemnify against liability, reasonable expense or other matter
whatsoever.
o The registrant may at the discretion of its board of directors
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the registrant and any
person whom it has power to indemnify pursuant to law, its articles of
incorporation, its bylaws or otherwise.
These indemnification provisions may be sufficiently broad to permit
indemnification of the registrant's directors and officers for liabilities
(including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act.
Our Articles of Incorporation provides that none of our directors or
officers shall be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary
damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer provided,
however, that the foregoing provisions shall not eliminate or limit the
liability of a director or officer for acts or omissions which involve
intentional misconduct, fraud or knowing violation of law, or the payment of
dividends in violation of Section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.
Limitations on liability provided for in our Articles of Incorporation do not
restrict the availability of non-monetary remedies and do not affect a
director's responsibility under any other law, such as the federal securities
laws or state or federal environmental laws.
We believe that these provisions will assist us in attracting and retaining
qualified individuals to serve as executive officers and directors. The
inclusion of these provisions in our Articles of Incorporation may have the
effect of reducing a likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors
and may discourage or deter stockholders or management from bringing a lawsuit
against directors for breach of their duty of care, even though such an action,
if successful, might otherwise have benefited us or our stockholders.
Our Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors to the fullest
extent provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes and we may, if and to the extent
authorized by our board of directors, so indemnify our officers and other
persons whom we have the power to indemnify against liability, reasonable
expense or other matters.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other that the payment by SMSA El Paso I Acquisition Corp., of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of SMSA
El Paso I Acquisition Corp, in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, we will (unless in the opinion
of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent) submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by
it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

REPORT OF REGISTERED INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Board of Directors and Stockholders
SMSA El Paso 1 Acquisition Corp.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of SMSA El Paso 1 Acquisition
Corp. (a Nevada corporation and a development stage company) as of December 31,
2007 and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the period from August 1, 2007 (date of
bankruptcy settlement) through December 31, 2007. These financial statements are
the sole responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of SMSA El Paso 1 Acquisition
Corp. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2007 and the results of
its operations and cash flows for the period from August 1, 2007 (date of
bankruptcy settlement) through December 31, 2007, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note D to the
financial statements, the Company has no viable operations or significant assets
and is dependent upon significant stockholders to provide sufficient working
capital to maintain the integrity of the corporate entity. These circumstances
create substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern and are discussed in Note D. The financial statements do not contain any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2007
Note A - Background and Description of Business
SMSA El Paso I Acquisition Corp. (Company) was organized on September 26, 2007
as a Nevada corporation to effect the reincorporation of Senior Management
Services of El Paso Sunset, Inc., a Texas corporation, mandated by the plan of
reorganization discussed below.
The Company's emergence from Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code on
August 1, 2007 created the combination of a change in majority ownership and
voting control - that is, loss of control by the then-existing stockholders, a
court-approved reorganization, and a reliable measure of the entity's fair value
- - resulting in a fresh start, creating, in substance, a new reporting entity.
Accordingly, the Company, post bankruptcy, has no significant assets,
liabilities or operating activities. Therefore, the Company, as a new reporting
entity, qualifies as a "development stage enterprise" as defined in Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 7, as amended and a shell company as defined
in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, (Securities Act), and Rule 12b-2
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (Exchange Act).
In accordance with the confirmed plan of reorganization, our current business
plan is to seek to identify a privately-held operating company desiring to
become a publicly held company by merging with the Company through a reverse
merger or acquisition.
Note B - Bankruptcy Action
On January 17, 2007, Senior Management Services of El Paso Sunset, Inc. and its
affiliated companies (SMS Companies) filed a petition for reorganization under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. During the three years prior to
filing the reorganization petition, SMS Companies operated a chain of skilled
nursing homes in Texas, which prior to the bankruptcy proceedings consisted of
14 nursing facilities, ranging in size from approximately 114 beds to 325 beds.
In the aggregate, SMS Companies provided care to approximately 1,600 resident
patients and employed over 1,400 employees. A significant portion of the SMS
Companies cash flow was provided by patients covered by Medicare and Medicaid.
The SMS Companies facilities provided round-the-clock care for the health,
well-being, safety and medical needs of its patients. The administrative and
operational oversight of the nursing facilities was provided by an affiliated
management company located in Arlington, Texas. In 2005, SMS Companies obtained
a secured credit facility from a financial institution. The credit facility
eventually was comprised of an $8.3 million term loan and a revolving loan of up
to $15 million which was utilized for working capital and to finance the
purchase of the real property on which 2 of its nursing care facilities
operated. By late 2006, SMS Companies were in an "overadvance" position, whereby
the amount of funds by the lender exceeded the amount of collateral eligible to
be borrowed under the credit facility. Beginning in September 2006, SMS
Companies entered into the first of a series of forbearance agreements whereby
the lender agreed to forebear from declaring the financing in default provided
SMS Companies obtained a commitment from a new lender to refinance and
restructure the credit facility. SMS Companies were unsuccessful in obtaining a
commitment from a new lender and, on January 5, 2007, the lender declared SMS
Companies in default and commenced foreclosure and collection proceedings. On
January 9, 2007, the lender agreed to provide an additional $1.7 million to fund
payroll and permit a controlled transaction to bankruptcy. Subsequently, on
January 17, 2007, the SMS Companies filed a petition for reorganization under
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.
All assets, liabilities and other claims against the Company and it's affiliated
entities were combined for the purpose of distribution of funds to creditors.
Each of the entities otherwise remained separate corporate entities. From the
commencement of the bankruptcy proceedings through August 1, 2007 (the effective
date of the plan of reorganization), all secured claims and/or administrative
claims during this period were satisfied through either direct payment or
negotiation.

Notes to Financial Statements - Continued
December 31, 2007
Note B - Bankruptcy Action - Continued
We will remain subject to the jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court until we
consummate a merger or acquisition. Pursuant to the confirmation order, if we do
not consummate a business combination prior to February 10, 2009, the Plan
Shares will be deemed canceled, the pre-merger or acquisition injunction
provisions of the confirmation order, as they pertain to the Company, shall be
deemed dissolved and no discharge will be granted to the Company, all without
further order of the bankruptcy court. If we timely consummate a merger or
acquisition with an entity which is engaged in business, we will file a
certificate of compliance with the bankruptcy court which will state that the
requirements of the Plan have been met, resulting in the discharge to be deemed
granted. Thereafter, the post discharge injunction provisions set forth in the
Plan and the confirmation order shall then become effective.
The First Amended, Modified Chapter 11 Plan, (the Plan) as presented by SMS
Companies and their creditors was approved by the United States Bankruptcy
Court, Northern District of Texas - Dallas Division on August 1, 2007. The Plan,
which contemplates the Company entering into a reverse merger transaction,
provided that certain identified claimants as well as unsecured creditors, in
accordance with the allocation provisions of the Plan of Reorganization, and the
Company's new controlling stockholder would receive "new" shares of the
Company's post-reorganization common stock, pursuant to Section 1145(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code. As a result of the Plan's approval, all liens, security
interests, encumbrances and other interests, as defined in the Plan of
Reorganization, attach to the creditor's trust. Specific injunctions prohibit
any of these claims from being asserted against the Company prior to the
contemplated reverse merger.
The cancellation of all existing shares at the date of the bankruptcy filing and
the issuance of "new" shares of the reorganized entity caused an issuance of
shares of common stock and a related change of control of the Company with more
than 50.0% of the "new" shares being held by persons and/or entities which were
not pre-bankruptcy stockholders. Accordingly, per American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial Reporting
by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code", the Company adopted
"fresh-start" accounting as of the bankruptcy discharge date whereby all
continuing assets and liabilities of the Company were restated to the fair
market value. As of August 1, 2007, by virtue of the Plan, the only asset of the
Company was approximately $1,000 in cash due from the Bankruptcy Estate.
Note C - Preparation of Financial Statements
The Company follows the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and has established a year-end for accounting
purposes of December 31.
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 revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound
accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal
accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company's system of
internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that 1)
recorded transactions are valid; 2) valid transactions are recorded; and 3)
transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to produce
financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods being
presented.

Notes to Financial Statements - Continued
December 31, 2007
Note D - Going Concern Uncertainty
The Company has no post-bankruptcy operating history, no cash on hand, no assets
and has a business plan with inherent risk. Because of these factors, the
Company's auditors have issued an audit opinion on the Company's financial
statements which includes a statement describing our going concern status. This
means, in the auditor's opinion, substantial doubt about our ability to continue
as a going concern exists at the date of their opinion.
The Company's majority stockholder maintains the corporate status of the Company
and has provided all nominal working capital support on the Company's behalf
since the bankruptcy discharge date. Because of the Company's lack of operating
assets, its continuance is fully dependent upon the majority stockholder's
continuing support. The majority stockholder intends to continue the funding of
nominal necessary expenses to sustain the corporate entity.
The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to generate
sufficient cash flows from operations to support its daily operations as well as
provide sufficient resources to retire existing liabilities and obligations on a
timely basis. Further, the Company faces considerable risk in it's business plan
and a potential shortfall of funding due to our inability to raise capital in
the equity securities market. If no additional operating capital is received
during the next twelve months, the Company will be forced to rely on existing
cash in the bank and additional funds loaned by management and/or significant
stockholders.
The Company's business plan is to seek an acquisition or merger with a private
operating company which offers an opportunity for growth and possible
appreciation of our stockholders' investment in the then issued and outstanding
common stock. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to
successfully consummate an acquisition or merger with a private operating
company or, if successful, that any acquisition or merger will result in the
appreciation of our stockholders' investment in the then outstanding common
stock.
The Company remains dependent upon additional external sources of financing;
including being dependent upon its management and/or significant stockholders to
provide sufficient working capital in excess of the Company's initial
capitalization to preserve the integrity of the corporate entity.
The Company anticipates offering future sales of equity securities. However,
there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funding
through the sales of additional equity securities or, that such funding, if
available, will be obtained on terms favorable to or affordable by the Company.
The Company's certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to
10,000,000 million shares of preferred stock and 100,000,000 shares of common
stock. The Company's ability to issue preferred stock may limit the Company's
ability to obtain debt or equity financing as well as impede potential takeover
of the Company, which takeover may be in the best interest of stockholders. The
Company's ability to issue these authorized but unissued securities may also
negatively impact our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of
our debt or equity securities.
It is the intent of management and significant stockholders to provide
sufficient working capital necessary to support and preserve the integrity of
the corporate entity. However, no formal commitments or arrangements to advance
or loan funds to the Company or repay any such advances or loans exist. There is
no legal obligation for either management or significant stockholders to provide
additional future funding.
In such a restricted cash flow scenario, the Company would be unable to complete
its business plan steps, and would, instead, delay all cash intensive
activities. Without necessary cash flow, the Company may become dormant during
the next twelve months, or until such time as necessary funds could be raised in
the equity securities market.

Note D - Going Concern Uncertainty - Continued
While the Company is of the opinion that good faith estimates of the Company's
ability to secure additional capital in the future to reach its goals have been
made, there is no guarantee that the Company will receive sufficient funding to
sustain operations or implement any future business plan steps.
Note E - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
1. Cash and cash equivalents
-------------------------
The Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, certificates of
deposit and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months
or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents.
2. Reorganization costs
--------------------
The Company has adopted the provisions of AICPA Statement of Position 98-5,
"Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities" whereby all costs incurred
with the incorporation and reorganization, post-bankruptcy, of the Company
were charged to operations as incurred.
3. Income taxes
------------
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income
taxes. At December 31, 2007, respectively, the deferred tax asset and
deferred tax liability accounts, as recorded when material to the financial
statements, are entirely the result of temporary differences. Temporary
differences represent differences in the recognition of assets and
liabilities for tax and financial reporting purposes, primarily accumulated
depreciation and amortization, allowance for doubtful accounts and vacation
accruals.
As of December 31, 2007, the deferred tax asset related to the Company's
net operating loss carryforward is fully reserved. Due to the provisions of
Internal Revenue Code Section 338, the Company may have no net operating
loss carryforwards available to offset financial statement or tax return
taxable income in future periods as a result of a change in control
involving 50 percentage points or more of the issued and outstanding
securities of the Company.
4. Income (Loss) per share
-----------------------
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income
(loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of
common shares outstanding during the respective period presented in our
accompanying financial statements.
Fully diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic income
(loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the
number of common stock equivalents (primarily outstanding options and
warrants).
Common stock equivalents represent the dilutive effect of the assumed
exercise of the outstanding stock options and warrants, using the treasury
stock method, at either the beginning of the respective period presented or
the date of issuance, whichever is later, and only if the common stock
equivalents are considered dilutive based upon the Company's net income
(loss) position at the calculation date.
As of December 31, 2007, and subsequent thereto, the Company had no
outstanding stock warrants, options or convertible securities which could
be considered as dilutive for purposes of the loss per share calculation.

Note F - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes
payable, as applicable, approximates fair value due to the short term nature of
these items and/or the current interest rates payable in relation to current
market conditions.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the Company's earnings are subject to
fluctuations in interest rates on either investments or on debt and is fully
dependent upon the volatility of these rates. The Company does not use
derivative instruments to moderate its exposure to interest rate risk, if any.
Financial risk is the risk that the Company's earnings are subject to
fluctuations in interest rates or foreign exchange rates and are fully dependent
upon the volatility of these rates. The Company does not use derivative

As of December 31, 2007, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward of
approximately $3,400 to offset future taxable income. The amount and
availability of any net operating loss carryforwards will be subject to the
limitations set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. Such factors as the number
of shares ultimately issued within a three year look-back period; whether there
is a deemed more than 50 percent change in control; the applicable long-term tax
exempt bond rate; continuity of historical business; and subsequent income of
the Company all enter into the annual computation of allowable annual
utilization of any net operating loss carryforward(s).

transactions described in the Plan. The remaining 20.0% of the Plan Shares of
the Company were issued to other holders of various claims as defined in the
Plan.
Based upon the calculations provided by the Creditor's Trustee, the Company
issued an aggregate 500,016 shares of the Company's "new" common stock to all
unsecured creditors and the controlling stockholder in settlement of all unpaid
pre-confirmation obligations of the Company and/or the bankruptcy trust.
Effective September 26, 2007, HFG transferred its 400,000 Plan Shares to Halter
Financial Investments, L.P. (HFI), a Texas limited partnership controlled by
