Item 1. Business

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DECISIONS AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is management's discussion and analysis of significant factors
which have affected registrant's financial position and operations.
Overall Situation

Company acknowledges that as a result of its limited financial resources,

Company's principal business objective will be to seek long term growth
potential in the business in which it participates, rather than immediate,
short term earnings. In seeking to attain its business objectives, the
Company w
any particular industry. Management has no assurance that it will be
successful in its attempt to raise such capital.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has increased its assets principally by the increase in trading
securities of stocks that had little or no value in prior years and
continues to have a very small amount of liabilities. Management intends
to seek potential businesses to acquire through the issuance of the
Company's common stock and make private placement of common stock as a
means of raising capital to propel the Company into new arenas of high
earnings potential. Additional funding will be necessary in order to achieve
these g
