NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
QUARTERLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB but do not include all
of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles and should, therefore, be read in conjunction
with the Company's 2004 financial statements in Form 10-SB. These
statements do include all normal recurring adjustments which the
Company believes necessary for a fair presentation of the statements.
The interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of the
results for a full year.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Basset Enterprises, Inc. (a development stage enterprise) (the Company)
was formed on June 4, 1999 in the State of Nevada. The Company's
activities to date have been primarily directed towards the raising of
capital and seeking business opportunities.
ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
LOSS PER SHARE
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during
the period. Due to net losses, potentially dilutive securities would be
antidilutive and are therefore not included.

BASSET ENTERPRISES, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
INCOME TAXES
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. The
effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates
is recognized in the statement of operations in the period that
includes the enactment date.
There is no provision for income taxes due to continuing losses. At
June 30, 2005, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for tax
purposes of approximately $14,900, which expire through 2025. The
Company has recorded a valuation allowance that fully offsets deferred
tax assets arising from net operating loss carryforwards because the
likelihood of the realization of the benefit cannot be established. The
Internal Revenue Code contains provisions that may limit the net
operating loss carryforwards available if significant changes in
stockholder ownership of the Company occur.
2. PAYABLE TO STOCKHOLDER
The Company's majority stockholder has paid expenses on behalf of the
Company. Those expenses consisted solely of professional fees incident
to maintaining corporate existence. At June 30, 2005, the Company owed
$10,250 to the stockholder. The amount bears no interest and is payable
on demand.
6
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2005, the Company remains in the development stage. For
the period ended June 30, 2005, the Company's balance sheet reflects current and
total assets of $0, and total current liabilities of $10,250 which represents
professional fees incident to maintaining corporate existence that a majority
shareholder has paid on the Company's behalf. The amount bears no interest and
is payable on demand.
The Company does not have sufficient assets or capital resources to pay
its on-going expenses while it is seeking out business opportunities, and it has
no current plans to raise additional capital through sale of securities. As a
result, although the Company has no agreement in place with its shareholders or
other persons to pay expenses on its behalf, it is anticipated that the Company
will continue to rely on its majority shareholder to pay expenses on its behalf
at least until it is able to consummate a business transaction.
Results of Operations
During the period from June 4, 1999 (inception) through June 30, 2005,
the Company has engaged in no significant operations other than organizational
activities, acquisition of capital and preparation and filing of its
registration statement on Form 10-SB under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, compliance with its periodic reporting requirements and initial
efforts to locate a suitable merger or acquisition candidate. No revenues were
received by the Company during this period.
The Company experienced a net loss of $1,375 and $3,750 for the
three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, as a result of expenses
incurred to maintain its corporate existence and comply with SEC reporting
requirements. The Company does not expect to generate any revenue until it
completes a business combination, but will continue to incur legal and
accounting fees and other costs associated with compliance with its reporting
obligations. As a result, the Company expects that it will continue to incur
losses each quarter at least until it has completed a business combination.
Depending upon the performance of any acquired business, the Company may
continue to operate at a loss even following completion of a business
combination.
Plan of Operations
For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005, and for the succeeding
twelve months, the Company expects to continue its efforts to locate a suitable
business acquisition candidate and thereafter to complete a business acquisition
transaction. The Company anticipates incurring a loss for the fiscal year as a
result of expenses associated with compliance with the reporting requirements of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and expenses associated with locating and
evaluating acquisition candidates. The Company does not expect to generate
revenues until it completes a business acquisition, and, depending upon the
performance of the acquired business, it may also continue to operate at a loss
after completion of a business combination.
7
Need for Additional Financing
The Company will require additional capital in order to pay the costs
associated with carrying out its plan of operations and the costs of compliance
with its continuing reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005 and thereafter.
This additional capital will be required whether or not the Company is able to
complete a business combination transaction during the current fiscal year.
Furthermore, once a business combination is completed, the Company's needs for
additional financing are likely to increase substantially.
No specific commitments to provide additional funds have been made by
management or other stockholders, and the Company has no current plans,
proposals, arrangements or understandings to raise additional capital through
the sale or issuance of additional securities prior to the location of a merger
or acquisition candidate. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any
additional funds will be available to the Company to allow it to cover its
expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, to the extent that additional
funds are required, the Company anticipates that it will either continue to rely
on its majority shareholder to pay expenses on its behalf, or it will seek to
raise capital through the private placement of restricted securities. In
addition, in order to minimize the amount of additional cash which is required
in order to carry out its business plan, the Company might seek to compensate
certain service providers by issuances of stock in lieu of cash.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief
executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this
evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting
them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC
reports. It should be noted that design of any system of controls is based in
part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there
can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals
under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
In addition, there has been no change in our internal control over
financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.
