1. Basis of Presentation.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
in financial statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principals, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules
and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures in these financial
statements are adequate and not misleading.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements contain all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for
a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations
and cash flows. The results for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 are not
necessarily indicative of the results for any future period.
2. Organization
Norton Industries Corp. (a development stage company) ("the Company") was
incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 8, 2002 to serve as a vehicle
to effect a merger, exchange of capital stock, asset acquisition or other
business combination with a domestic or foreign private business. As to date
the Company has no agreement to enter into a business combination with any
specific business or company.
3. Shareholders' Equity
Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock at
$.0001 par value, with such designation voting and other rights and preferences
as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. As of March
31, 2004, no preferred stock has been issued.
Common Stock and Contributed Capital
The Company is authorized to issue 80,000,000 shares of common stock at
$.0001 par value. At March 31, 2004, there were 5,000,000 shares of the
Company's common stock issued and outstanding. As to date all expenses
incurred or paid by the controlling shareholder on behalf of the Company are
recorded as contributed capital.
4. Related Party Transactions
Since inception the Company has not paid any compensation to any officer or
director of the Company and no significant time and efforts have either
incurred on the part of management.
All expenses incurred or paid by the controlling shareholder on behalf of the
Company to date have been recorded in the Company's statement of operations
with a related credit to contributed capital.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Plan of Operation
The Company's plan is to seek, investigate, and if such investigation warrants,
consummate a merger or other business combination, purchase of assets or
other strategic transaction with a business entity desiring the perceived
advantages of becoming a publicly reporting corporation. To date, the Company
has not entered into agreement with any specific business or company for a
business combination. The Company will not restrict its search to any specific
business, industry, or geographical location, and may participate in business
ventures of virtually any kind or nature.
Results of Operation
For the three months ended March 31, 2004, we had conducted no business, and
we had not generated any revenue from operations. We incurred expenses of
$250, primarily the expenses relating to the preparation of the Company's
filings with the SEC.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2004, we had no cash and cash equivalents. All the expenses
incurred by the Company in the three months ended March 31, 2004, approximately
$250, were paid by our controlling shareholder, who agreed to pay, on behalf
of the Company, all administrative expenses, including legal and accounting
fees incurred in conjunction with compliance with our on-going reporting
obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 without repayment until
the Company completes a business combination. Such payments will be made
without expectation of repayment. There is no minimum or maximum amount the
controlling shareholder will pay on behalf of the Company. We have no current
plans to raise funds, either debt or equity, from investors while we are a
blank check company, and we will not borrow any funds to make any payments
to our officer, director, or promoter.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period
covered by this annual report (the "Evaluation Date"). Based upon such
evaluation, management has concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting him on a timely
basis to material information relating to the Company required to be included
in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act.
There have not been any significant changes in our internal controls over
financial reporting or in other factors that could have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over
financial reporting.
