Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Development stage enterprise
Merilus, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of
Nevada on May 7, 1985. The Company's initial operations proved unsuccessful and
did not result in significant revenue, and therefore the Company has operated as
a development stage enterprise as defined in SFAS 7, since its inception. The
Company's recent activities have been devoted primarily to raising capital and
attempting to acquire an operating entity.
During 1999 the Company's development stage activities included the forward
split of its outstanding shares of common stock on a basis of 200 for 1 and the
filing of a Form 10-SB with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission. During the year 2000, the Company again forward split its common
stock on a basis of 10 for 1 and amended its articles of incorporation to
authorize the issuance of a preferred class of stock. The financial statements
of the Company retroactively reflect the effects of both of these forward
splits.
During the year 2000 the Company also filed a definitive information statement
pursuant to Section 14c of the Securities Act of 1934, to disclose that it had
entered into a reorganization agreement ("Agreement") with the intent to acquire
all of the issued and outstanding shares of Merilus Technologies, Inc. ("MTI").
MTI, a British Columbia corporation, was also a development stage enterprise.
During 2001 the Company attempted to complete the terms of the Agreement;
however, the acquisition of MTI was never consummated as contemplated and in
2003 MTI filed for bankruptcy. The Company continues to operate as a development
stage enterprise seeking to acquire an operating entity. (See Note 2)
Going concern
These financial statements have been prepared in contemplation of the Company
continuing as a going concern. However, the Company has not had revenues from
operations in each of the last two fiscal years, is considered a development
stage enterprise as defined by SFAS 7 and is seeking an acquisition or merger
with an operating entity. The Company's ability to meet its ongoing financial
requirements has been dependent on loans from a shareholder and management's
willingness to serve the Company without monetary remuneration. The Company
assumes that this arrangement will continue during the next 12 months; however,
no assurance thereof can be given. A change in these circumstances would have a
material adverse effect on the Company's plan of operations. (See Note 5)
Use of estimates
These financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America and require that management
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The use of
estimates and assumptions may also affect the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates or assumptions.
Net loss per share of common stock
The loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net loss during
the period presented by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during
that same period.
Income taxes
The Company has not had any income in prior periods and therefore, no income
taxes have been paid. Management is of the opinion that future taxable income
may not be allowed to offset prior losses and therefore has not established a
deferred tax asset.
Revenue recognition
The Company has not had any realizable sources of revenue and consequently, has
not established a policy for the recognition of revenue.

New accounting pronouncements
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154 "Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections - a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3".
This SFAS replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement
No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes
the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting
principle. This SFAS applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle
and also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the
unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition
provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those
provisions should be followed. This SFAS will be effective for the Company for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company believes that this
SFAS will have no significant impact on its financial statements.
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155 "Accounting for Certain Hybrid
Financial Instruments - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140". In
March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156 "Accounting for Servicing of Financial
Assets - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. The Company believes that
neither of these SFAS will have any impact on its financial statements.
Note 2: Reorganization Agreement
During the year 2000 and in contemplation of entering into the Agreement for the
purpose of acquiring all of the issued and outstanding shares of MTI, the
Company issued warrants for the purchase of 2,000,000 shares of its common stock
at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. Upon entering into the Agreement the
warrants were exercised and the Company received $2,000,000, which was given to
MTI in the form of notes receivable. Pursuant to the Agreement a trust was
established into which the Company issued 1 share of preferred stock that
represented 3,767,500 "exchangeable shares" of the Company's common stock. Upon
surrender by MTI shareholders of their MTI stock, the Company would issue its
common stock to the MTI shareholder. By end of the year 2001, the Company had
issued 828,300 shares of its common stock, which represented approximately 22%
of the exchangeable shares. Subsequent to this issuance, no further shares of
the Company's common stock were issued to MTI shareholders pursuant to the
Agreement and the Company cancelled the preferred share that had been issued.
The 828,300 shares that were issued were valued on the Company's financial
statements at par value ($0.001).
During the year 2001, the Company conducted its operations as though it had
acquired MTI even though its control of MTI was only through the Agreement and
the officers and directors that were elected pursuant thereto. During this year
the Company issued shares of its common stock for the benefit of MTI in the
following amounts: 60,000 shares for services rendered valued at the approximate
fair market value at the time of issuance of $36,125 (per share price ranging
between $0.25 and $1.00); and 1,532,504 shares for cash valued at the cash
consideration received (per share price ranging between $0.25 and $1.00).
During 2003 MTI filed for bankruptcy in British Columbia, Canada, listing the
Company as an unsecured creditor. The Company has not collected any amounts from
the bankruptcy proceedings and does not anticipate the collection of any
amounts.
Note 3: General and Administrative Losses
During the six month period ended June 30, 2006, the Company incurred general
and administrative losses in the amount of $9,726, comprised of stock transfer
agent fees ($575), legal fees ($5,177); audit fees ($1,800), other accounting
fees ($825), management fees ($750); filing fees ($574), and other expenses
($25). During the six month period ended June 30, 2005, the Company incurred
general and administrative losses in the amount of $557, comprised of stock
transfer agent fees ($432) and filing fees ($125).
Note 4: Contingent Liabilities
To the extent that the Company was a party to any financial transactions that
were not discharged through MTI's bankruptcy proceedings, including the
obligations associated with the issuance of the one share of preferred stock, or
that may not have been listed as part of MTI's bankruptcy, the Company may have
contingent liabilities. To the best of management's knowledge and belief the
financial statements accurately reflect the financial position of the Company as
of the dates presented and no contingent liabilities exist.

Note 5: Related Party Transactions
The Company has received unsecured cash advances from a shareholder, which
through June 30, 2006, have amounted to $13,893. The Company signed interest
bearing (6% per annum) promissory notes which are due in full with accrued
interest the earlier of December 31, 2006 or within five days of the merger or
acquisition between the Company and another corporation or entity that has
operations. At June 30, 2006 the Company had accrued interest in the amount of
$307 on these notes.
During February 2006 the Company issued 750,000 shares of common stock (at $.003
per share, which amount approximated the market value during the period when the
services were performed) to its President in consideration of management
services rendered valued at $2,250.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This periodic report contains certain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to
the Plan of Operations provided below, including information regarding the
Company's financial condition, results of operations, business strategies,
operating efficiencies or synergies, competitive positions, growth
opportunities, and the plans and objectives of management. The statements made
as part of the Plan of Operations that are not historical facts are hereby
identified as "forward-looking statements."
Plan of Operations
Overview:
The Company has not received any revenue from operations in each of the last two
fiscal years and is considered a development stage enterprise. The Company's
current operations have consisted of taking such action as management believes
necessary to prepare to seek an acquisition or merger with an operating entity.
The Company has obtained loans from a shareholder and has issued shares of its
common stock to its president for services rendered. The Company may also issue
shares of its common stock to raise equity capital. A shareholder of the Company
has financed the Company's current operations, which have consisted primarily of
maintaining in good standing the Company's corporate status, in fulfilling its
filing requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the
audit of its financial statements, and in changing the marketplace of its
securities.
The Company has entered into a note agreement on January 31, 2006 with a
shareholder to receive a total of $9,000 pursuant to the following terms:
unsecured promissory note due on or before December 31, 2006, bearing interest
at the rate of six percent per annum and requiring repayment be made in full
with accrued interest within five days of the merger or acquisition between the
Company and another corporation or entity that has operations. The Company has
received $5,800 as of June 30, 2006 and will request additional cash to pay its
current liabilities. In addition, on December 14, 2005, the Company signed a
promissory note payable to this shareholder in the amount of $4,593.50, having
the same terms as previously described.
The financial statements contained in this interim report have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company is not
engaged in any revenue producing activities and has not established any source
of revenue other than described herein. These factors raise substantial doubt
that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern even though
management believes that sufficient funding is available to meet its operating
needs during the next twelve months. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Denny W. Nestripke serves as the Company's sole officer and director, and
therefore he acts as Company's management. Even though Mr. Nestripke is not
being provided any cash compensation, management fees in the amount of $2,250
have been charged to the Company and during February of 2006 Mr. Nestripke
received payment in the form of 750,000 shares of the Company's common stock
valued at $0.003, the prevailing market price during the period that the $2,250
was earned. The services that Mr. Nestripke provided were largely related to the
preparation of financial statements, the preparation and review of filings being
made with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, other regulatory
filings (such as tax returns), and the performance of other duties associated
with the Company's plan of operations.
Risks associated with the plan of operations:
In its search for a business opportunity, management anticipates that the
Company will incur additional costs for legal and accounting fees to locate and
complete a merger or acquisition. Other than previously discussed, the Company
does not have any revenue producing activities whereby it can meet the financial
requirements of seeking a business opportunity. As of June 30, 2006, the Company
has obligated itself in the amount of $19,594 and may further obligate itself as
it pursues its plan of operations. There can be no assurance that the Company
will receive any benefits from the efforts of management to locate a business
opportunities.
The Company does not propose to restrict its search for a business opportunity
to any particular industry or geographical area and may, therefore, attempt to
acquire any business in any industry. The Company has unrestricted discretion in
seeking and participating in a business opportunity, subject to the availability
of such opportunities, economic conditions, and other factors. Consequently, if
and when a business opportunity is selected, such business opportunity may not
be in an industry that is following general business trends.
The selection of a business opportunity in which to participate is complex and
risky. Additionally, the Company has only limited resources and this fact may
make it more difficult to find any such opportunities. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to identify and acquire any business opportunity
which will ultimately prove to be beneficial to the Company and its
shareholders. The Company will select any potential business opportunity based
on management's business judgment. At the present time, only Mr. Nestripke
serves in management and allowing only one individual to exercise his business
judgment in the selection of a business opportunity for the Company presents a
significant risk to the Company's shareholders. The Company may acquire or
participate in a business opportunity based on the decision of management that
potentially could act without the consent, vote, or approval of the Company's
shareholders.
Since its inception, the Company has not generated any revenue and it is
unlikely that any revenue will be generated until such time as the Company
locates a business opportunity to acquire or with which it can merge. However,
the Company is not restricting its search to those business opportunities that
have profitable operations. Even though a business opportunity is acquired that
has revenues or gross income, there is no assurance that profitable operations
or net income will result there from. Consequently, even though the Company may
be successful in acquiring a business opportunity, such acquisition does not
assume that a profitable business opportunity is being acquired or that
shareholders will benefit through an increase in the market price of the
Company's common stock.
The acquisition of a business opportunity, no matter what form it may take, will
almost assuredly result in substantial dilution for the Company's current
shareholders. Inasmuch as the Company only has its equity securities (its common
and preferred stock) as a source to provide consideration for the acquisition of
a business opportunity, the Company's issuance of a substantial portion of its
authorized common stock is the most likely method for the Company to consummate
an acquisition. The issuance of any shares of the Company's common stock will
dilute the ownership percentage that current shareholders have in the Company.
The Company does not intend to employ anyone in the future, unless its present
business operations were to change. Mr. Nestripke does not have a contract to
remain with the Company over any certain time period and may resign his position
prior to the time that a business opportunity is located and/or business
reorganization takes place. The common stock issued to Mr. Nestripke is for
services rendered through the filing of this report.
At the present time, management does not believe it is necessary for the Company
to have an administrative office and utilizes the mailing post office box of the
Company's president for business correspondence. The Company intends to
reimburse management for any out of pocket costs other than those associated

As of June 30, 2006, the Company had a negative $17,921 in working capital with
assets of $1,673 and liabilities of $19,594. If the Company cannot find a new
business, it will have to seek additional capital either through the sale of its
shares of common stock or through a loan from its officer or shareholders. The
Company has only incidental ongoing expenses primarily associated with
maintaining its corporate status and professional fees associated with
accounting and legal costs.
Management anticipates that the Company will incur more costs including legal
and accounting fees to locate and complete a merger or acquisition. At the
present time the Company does not have the assets to meet these financial
requirements. Additionally, the Company does not have substantial assets to
entice potential business opportunities to enter into transactions with the
Company.
It is unlikely that any revenue will be generated until the Company locates a
business opportunity with which to acquire or merge. Management of the Company
will be investigating various business opportunities. These efforts may cost the
Company not only out of pocket expenses for its management but also expenses
associated with legal and accounting costs. There can be no guarantee that the
Company will receive any benefits from the efforts of management to locate
business opportunities.
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 as it has
only limited capital and no operations.
Results of Operations
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company had a net loss of
$1,897 and $10,020, respectively, compared to a loss for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2005, of $216 and $557, respectively. The Company
anticipates losses to remain at the present level or slightly higher until a
business opportunity is found. The Company had no revenue during the six months
ended June 30, 2006. The Company does not anticipate any revenue until it
locates a new business opportunity.
c) Off-balance sheet arrangements.
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements and it is not
anticipated that the Company will enter into any off-balance sheet arrangements.
