Note 1. Organization and Interim Financial Statements
American Development & Investment Fund, Inc. (American Development or the
Company), a Nevada corporation, was organized in February, 1997 and filed
an election to be treated as a business development company (BDC) under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, (the 1940 Act) in March 2006.
As a BDC, the company is subject to the filing requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and has elected to be subject to Sections 55 to 65 of
the 1940 Act, which apply only to BDCs. The Company is not a registered
investment company under the 1940 Act, however, and is not required to file
the semi-annual and annual reports required to be filed by registered
investment companies under Section 30 of the 1940 Act. As a BDC, the
Company also is not eligible to file its periodic reports under the 1934 Act
as a small business issuer, and therefore files its periodic reports on
applicable Forms 10-Q and 10-K, rather than Forms 10-KSB or 10-QSB. As a
BDC, the Company also is subject to the normal financial reporting
requirements of Regulation S-X issued by the SEC, but is not subject
to Section 6 of Regulation S-X, which provides specific rules for financial
reporting of registered investment companies.
The Company does not intend to focus on any primary investment market, and
expects to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80.0 percent of its
net assets in qualified portfolio companies in emerging growth markets. At
March 31, 2008, the Company had not yet invested in any portfolio
companies. The Company expects to concentrate on making investments in
companies having annual revenues of less than $250.0 million and in
transaction sizes of less than $25.0 million. In most cases, these
companies will be privately held or will have thinly traded public equity.
The accompanying financial statements are un-audited and have been prepared
in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America for interim financial information and the instructions to Form
10-Q, including Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in audited financial statements prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements that were included in the Form 10-K filed by the Company for the
year ended December 31, 2007. As a BDC, and therefore as a non-registered
investment company, the Company is subject to the normal financial reporting
rules of Regulation S-X, as adopted by the SEC, in accordance with Regulation
S-X 5.01. It is specifically not subject to Section 6 of Regulation S-X,
governing the financial reporting of registered investment companies. The
accompanying financial reports have been prepared in accordance with the
requirements of Regulation S-X, as explained and interpreted in the Audit and
Accounting Guide for Investment Companies of the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants (May 1, 2007)(the Audit Guide).
Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for a full year

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008
(unaudited)
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and
expenses during the reported period. Changes in the economic environment,
financial markets and any other parameters used in determining these
estimates
could cause actual results to differ.
The following are significant accounting policies consistently applied by the
Company and are based on Chapter 7 of the Audit Guide, as modified by
Appendix
A:
Investments:
(a) Security transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis.
(b) Valuation:
(1) Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued
at
such market quotations.
(2) Short-term investments which mature in 60 days or less, such as U.S.
Treasury bills, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market
value.
The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost on the date
of purchase and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of
the
difference between the principal amount due at maturity and cost. Short-term
securities which mature in more than 60 days are valued at current market
quotations by an independent pricing service or at the mean between the bid
and
ask prices obtained from at least two brokers or dealers (if available, or
otherwise by a principal market maker or a primary market dealer).
Investments
in money market mutual funds are valued at their net asset value as of the
close of business on the day of valuation.
(3) It is expected that most of the investments in the Company?s portfolio
will not have readily available market values. Debt and equity securities
whose market prices are not readily available are valued at fair value, with
the assistance of an independent valuation service, using a valuation policy
and a consistently applied valuation process which is under the
direction of our board of directors.
The factors that may be taken into account in fairly valuing investments
include, as relevant, the portfolio company ability to make payments, its
estimated earnings and projected discounted cash flows, the nature and
realizable value of any collateral, the financial environment in which the
portfolio company operates, comparisons to securities of similar publicly
traded companies and other relevant factors. Due to the inherent uncertainty
of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily
available market value, the fair value of these investments may differ
AMERICAN DEVELOPMENT & INVESTMENT FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008
(unaudited)
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market
existed for such investments, and any such differences could be material.
As part of the fair valuation process, the Audit Committee of the Company
will review the preliminary evaluations prepared by the Investment Advisor
engaged by the Board of Directors, as well as managements valuation
recommendations and the recommendations of the Investment Committee.
Management and the Investment Advisor will respond to the preliminary
evaluation to reflect comments provided by the Audit Committee. The Audit
Committee will review the final valuation report and managements valuation
recommendations and make a recommendation to the Board of Directors based
on its analysis of the methodologies employed and the various valuation
factors as well as factors that the Investment Advisor and management may
not have included in their evaluation processes. The Board of Directors
then will evaluate the Audit Committee recommendations and undertake a
similar analysis to determine the fair value of each investment in
the portfolio in good faith.
(c) Realized gains or losses on the sale of investments are calculated using
the specific identification method.
(d) Interest income, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of
discount, is recorded on an accrual basis.
(e) Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
(f) Loan origination, facility, commitment, consent and other advance fees
received by us on loan agreements or other investments are accreted into
income over the term of the loan.
Federal and State Income Taxes:
The Company has not elected to be treated as, and is not, a regulated
investment company and does not presently intend to comply with the
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code), applicable
to regulated investment companies. A regulated investment company is
required to distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable
income to shareholders, which the Company does not expect to do for the
foreseeable future. Therefore, the Company must make appropriate provision
for income taxes in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes,
using the liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred assets
and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary
differences between carry amounts and tax basis of assets and
liabilities. At March 31, 2008, the Company has approximately $122,500
of net operating loss carry-forwards available to affect future taxable
income and has established a valuation allowance equal to the tax benefit of
the net operating loss carry-forwards as realization of the asset is not
assured. The net operating loss carry-forwards may be limited under the
change of control provisions of the Internal revenue Code, Section 382.

(unaudited)
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Dividends and Distributions:
Dividends and distributions to common stockholders will be recorded on the
ex-dividend date. The amount, if any, to be paid as a dividend will be
approved by the board of directors each quarter and will be generally based
upon managements estimate of our earnings for the quarter and our investment
needs. Net realized capital gains, if any, will be reviewed at least
annually as part of any distribution determination.
Consolidation:
As an investment company, the Company will only consolidate subsidiaries
which
are also investment companies. At March 31, 2008, the Company did not have
any consolidated subsidiaries.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December, 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations,
and SFAS No. 160, Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51. FAS No. 141(R)
is required to be adopted concurrently with SFAS No. 160. These standards are
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and will apply
prospectively to business combinations completed on or after that date.
Early adoption is prohibited. FAS 141(R) requires changes in accounting for
acquisitions and FAS 160 will change the accounting for minority interests.
The Company is evaluating the impact of these statements on its financial
statements.
Note 3. Portfolio Investments
As required by the 1940 Act, we will classify our investments by level of
control. As defined in the 1940 Act, control investments are those where
there
is the ability or power to exercise a controlling influence over the
management
or policies of a company. Control is generally viewed to exist when a
company or individual owns 25% or more of the voting securities of an
investee
company. Affiliated investments and affiliated companies are defined by a
lesser degree of influence and are deemed to exist through ownership of an
amount greater than 5% but less than 25% of the voting securities of the
investee company. The Company currently has no controlled or affiliated
investments.
Note 4. Related Party Agreements and Transactions
Investment Advisory Agreement
The Company has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with American
Development Fund Advisors LLC (the Investment Advisor) under which the
Investment Advisor, subject to the overall supervision of the board of
directors of the Company, will manage the day-to-day operations of, and
provide investment advisory services to, the Company. American Development

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008
(unaudited)
Note 4. Related Party Agreements and Transactions (Continued)
Fund Advisors, LLC is owned equally by Patrick Donelan and Adam Mayblum. Mr.
Mayblum and Mr. Donelan are also the equal owners of Enterprise Partners,
LLC,
our former majority Common Stockholder and the former holder of all of
our Series A Convertible Preferred shares at the end of the quarter. Mr.
Mayblum also serves as a director of the Company.
For providing these services the Investment Advisor will receive a fee from
the
Company, consisting of two components--a base management fee and an incentive
fee. The base management fee will be calculated at an annual rate of 2.00% on
the gross assets of the Company (including amounts borrowed). The base
management fee is payable quarterly in arrears based on the average value
of the Company?s gross assets at the end of the two most recently completed
calendar quarters and appropriately adjusted for any share issuances or
repurchases during the current calendar quarter. Base management fees for
any partial month or quarter will be appropriately pro rated.
No investment advisory fees have been earned or accrued for the quarter.
Amounts due to affiliate totaling $7,950 at March 31, 2008 represent
short-term, non-interest bearing advances from a related company.
Managerial Assistance
As a business development company, we will offer, and provide upon request,
managerial assistance to certain of our portfolio companies. This assistance
could involve, among other things, monitoring the operations of our portfolio
companies, participating in board and management meetings, consulting with
and advising officers of portfolio companies and providing other
organizational and financial guidance. The Company expects to receive fee
income for providing these services.
Note 5. Stockholders? Equity.
The 1 million shares of convertible preferred shares outstanding at December
31,
2007 automatically converted into 4 million common shares during the quarter
ended March 31, 2008. As a result, there were 34,283,200 common shares issued
and no preferred shares issued as of March 31, 2008. There were no other
changes in stockholders? equity during the quarter.

Note 7 Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. The Company?s financial position
and operating results raise substantial doubt about the Company?s ability
to continue as a going concern, as reflected by the accumulated deficit of
$2394491and recurring net losses. The ability of the Company to continue as a
going concern is dependent upon acquiring suitable portfolio investments and
obtaining additional capital and financing. Management?s plan in this regard
is to acquire portfolio investment operating entities and secure financing
and operating capital. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a
going concern.
Item 2. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they never
materialize or prove incorrect, could cause the results of the Company to
differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are
statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including any
projections of revenue, expenses, earnings or losses from operations or
investments, or other financial items; any statements of the plans,
strategies
and objectives of management for future operations; any statements of
expectation or belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of
the foregoing. The risks, uncertainties and assumptions referred to above

Exchange Commission, or the SEC, reports filed before this report.
The forward-looking statements included in this quarterly report
represent our estimates as of the date of this quarterly report. We
specifically disclaim any obligation to update these forward-looking
statements in the future. Some of the statements in this quarterly report

similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Our actual
results
could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking
statements
for any reason. We caution you that forward-looking statements of this type
are subject to uncertainties and risks, many of which cannot be predicted or
quantified.
The following analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related
notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, as well as the risk
factors included in our Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Overview
The Company was incorporated under the Nevada General Corporation Law in
February 1997 as MNS Eagle Equity Group, Inc., and was a development stage
company through the end of 2005, and until the Company changed its business
model with the election to be treated as a business development company on
March 20, 2006. On March 8, 2006, the Company changed its corporate name to
American Development & Investment Fund, Inc., to reflect its new business
model and plan. The Company also filed an election to be treated as a
Business
Development Company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 by filing a Form
N54-A with the SEC on March 20, 2006.
On March 20, 2006, the Company filed a Certificate of Designations for Class
A
Convertible Preferred Stock with the Nevada Secretary of State and the Board
of
Directors authorized the issuance of 1 million shares of Class A Convertible
Preferred Stock to Enterprise Partners, LLC, our then majority shareholder,
in
exchange for the cancellation of $60,000 in loans for funds advanced to the
Company by Enterprise Partners LLC to pay off debts of the Company and for
working capital. The Class A Convertible Preferred Stock was $0.001 par
value
stock, and may be converted into common stock based on a formula under which
conversion is equal to 1 divided by the 30 day trailing average stock price
of
the common shares at the time of the conversion election, but not more than
15
common shares for each preferred share converted, or a maximum of 15 million
common shares, with an automatic conversion two years after the date of
issue.
The Class A Convertible Preferred Stock automatically converted into common
stock following the second anniversary of issue, in March 2008, at an agreed
conversion of four shares of common stock for each share of preferred stock
outstanding.
Effective March 20, 2006, the Company implemented a 100 for 1 forward split
of our outstanding common shares. As a result of the forward split, there
were 30,150,000 common shares then outstanding. This forward split has been
reflected retroactively on our financial statements.
We have elected to be treated as a business development company under the
1940
Act. Accordingly, we are required to comply with certain regulatory
requirements. For instance, we generally have to invest at least 70% of our
total assets in qualifying assets, including securities of private or thinly
traded public U.S. companies, cash, cash equivalents, U.S. government
securities and high-quality debt investments that mature in one year or less.
We will typically invest under normal circumstances, at least 80% of net
assets in qualified portfolio companies.
We intend to invest in companies in emerging markets and industries, most of
which will have relatively short operating histories. We do not currently
intend to invest in companies which may be considered as start-up companies,
due to the increased risk involved. The companies in which we invest are
and will be subject to all of the business risk and uncertainties associated
with any growing business enterprise, including the risk that these companies
may not reach their investment objective and the value of our investment in
them may decline substantially or fall to zero. As of March 31, 2008, we
had not yet made any portfolio or other investments.
Critical Accounting Policies
In determining the fair value of our investments, the Audit Committee will
consider valuations from our Investment Advisor, from our Investment
Committee and from management
Results of Operations
For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, we incurred consulting expenses of
$22,500, rent expense of $1,350 and no other expenses compared to
consulting expenses of $17,500, rent expense of $1,350 and other expenses
totaling $3,833 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. Our total expenses were
$23,850 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 and $22,683 for the quarter
ended March 31, 2007. We had no income reported for either quarter.
Financial Highlights
Financial highlights of the Company for the period ending March 31, 2008
are included in Footnote 6 to our Financial Statements.
Investment Activity
We have not yet engaged in any portfolio investments and have not yet raised
significant capital to be employed in our proposed investment activities.
Long-Term Portfolio Investments
There were no portfolio investments made during the three months ended
March 31, 2008.
Investment Income
We expect to generate revenue in the form of interest income on any debt
securities that we own, dividend income on any common or preferred stock that
we own, and capital gains or losses on any debt or equity securities that we
acquire in portfolio companies and subsequently sell. We also expect to
receive
fee income from providing management services to our portfolio companies. Our
investments, if in the form of debt securities, will typically have a term of
one to ten years and bear interest at a fixed or floating rate. To the extent
achievable, we will seek to collateralize our investments by obtaining
security interests in our portfolio companies assets. Our business model,
however, is to invest primarily in equity securities of our portfolio
companies
and to maintain a minimal level of debt investment. We do not plan to engage
in
any form of leveraged investment for the foreseeable future, and will not
engage in any co-investment transactions with any affiliated persons.
We expect to acquire minority or majority equity interests in our portfolio
companies, which may pay cash or in-kind dividends on a recurring or
otherwise
negotiated basis. In addition, we may generate revenue in other forms
including
commitment, origination, structuring or due diligence fees, and possibly
consultation fees. Any such fees generated in connection with our investments
will be recognized as earned. We earned no investment income during the
quarter
ended March 31, 2008.
Operating Expenses

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity and capital resources were generated primarily from an advance
of $60,000 by our major shareholder, Enterprise Partners, LLC, which was
later
converted into 1 million shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and
from the sale of common shares in March, 2007, for a total of $39,960. We
generated no cash flows from operations. In the future, we may fund a
securities or secondary offering of equity, including further exempt
offerings.
We may also securitize a portion of our investments in mezzanine or senior
secured loans or other assets. Our primary use of funds will be investments
in
portfolio companies.
Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should
carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, which
could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.
The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only
risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently
known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially
adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
We are subject to financial market risks, including changes in interest
rates,
equity price risk and some of the loans in our portfolio may have floating
rates in the future. We may hedge against interest rate fluctuations by using
standard hedging instruments such as futures, options and forward contracts
subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act. While hedging activities may
insulate us against adverse changes in interest rates, they may also limit
our
ability to participate in the benefits of higher interest rates with respect
to our portfolio of investments. During the three months ended March 31, 2008
and the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, we did not engage in any
hedging
activities.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out
an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our
management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934).
Based on that evaluation, as of March 31, 2008, the Chief Executive Officer
and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our current disclosure
controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material
information relating to the Company that is required to be disclosed by the
Company in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act
of
1934.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for
establishing
and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such
responsibility is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, and for performing an assessment of the effectiveness of internal
control
of financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a
process
designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes
in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal
control
over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately
and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures
of
the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management
and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance
regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or
disposition
of assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance
of
achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations.
Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human
diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns
resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also
can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of
such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be
prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial
reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the
financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the
process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting
that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2008 that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
