NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE
1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ORGANIZATION
The
accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Catalyst Lighting
Group, Inc. (the "Company") are presented in accordance with the requirements
for Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (all of which were of a normal recurring nature)
considered necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of
operations, and cash flows of the Company on a consistent basis, have been
made.
These
results have been determined on the basis of generally accepted accounting
principles and practices applied consistently with those used in the preparation
of the Company's financial statements. Operating results for the three months
ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending September 30, 2010.
The
Company recommends that the accompanying condensed financial statements for the
interim period be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements
for the year ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K as filed on or about November 13, 2009.
Organization and
Business — The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on March
7, 2001. On August 27, 2003, the Company completed the reverse acquisition of
Whitco Company, L.P. ("Whitco"). Whitco was a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company and was engaged in the manufacture and sale of area lighting poles to
distributors throughout the United States of America.
On March
15, 2006, Whitco voluntarily filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
bankruptcy laws. On April 25, 2006, the bankruptcy court approved a sale of
Whitco's assets (other than cash and accounts receivable) used in its area
lighting pole business. The assets were sold free and clear of any liens and
encumbrances to a third party purchaser pursuant to Section 363 of the U.S
Bankruptcy Code. The purchaser issued a common stock purchase warrant to acquire
shares of the purchaser's common stock as consideration for the assets purchased
("Purchase Warrant").
On May
16, 2006, Whitco filed a motion to convert its bankruptcy case to a Chapter 7
liquidation proceeding. This motion was granted by the bankruptcy court on July
13, 2006. In connection with the liquidation, the Purchase Warrant and Whitco's
cash and accounts receivable were assigned and distributed to Whitco's secured
creditor (the "Entity"). As part of the Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings, no
assets were available for distribution to unsecured creditors and, accordingly,
these unsatisfied obligations were relieved as part of the liquidation in
accordance with the provisions of Chapter 7 of U.S. bankruptcy
laws.
Since
Whitco's liquidation in bankruptcy, the Company has had nominal assets and
nominal business operations and its business strategy has been to investigate
and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business
seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly
held corporation. In furtherance of this
business strategy, on July 25, 2006, the Company voluntarily filed for
protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. bankruptcy laws. The Company
subsequently determined to withdraw from bankruptcy court protection and, on
motion made by the U.S. trustee, the bankruptcy court ordered the case dismissed
on January 9, 2007. Since the dismissal of the Company's bankruptcy case, the
Company has settled its outstanding liabilities with creditors and is now in a
position to actively seek a target company. In addition, effective February 22,
2007, the Company experienced a change in control and its management changed,
pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and KIG
Investors I, LLC ("Investor").
On June
23, 2008, the Company entered into a letter of intent with Organic Bouquet, Inc.
and Organic Style Limited., pursuant to which the Company intends to combine
with Organic either through a merger between Organic and a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, or an exchange of shares of stock of Organic for
shares of common stock of the Company. On August 18, 2008, the Company
terminated the letter of intent since the parties had not executed definitive
and final agreements by July 31, 2008.
-

On
January 15, 2010, Keating Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(“KI”), Mr. Kevin R. Keating (“Keating”), Lionsridge Capital, LLC, an Illinois
limited liability company (“LC”), Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., a Cayman Island
company (“Laurus”), Garisch Financial, Inc., an Illinois corporation (“GFI”) and
Woodman Management Corporation, a California corporation (the “Purchaser”),
entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to
which (1) KI, Keating, LC, Laurus and GFI (collectively, the “Sellers”) would
sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser would purchase from the Sellers, an
aggregate of 3,861,721 shares of the Registrant’s common stock (the “Shares”),
which Shares represent 89.1% of the issued and outstanding shares of the
Registrant’s common stock, (2) the Sellers would assign to the Purchaser the
Sellers’ registration rights under existing agreements with the Registrant, (3)
each Seller and the Registrant would release each other from all existing claims
(other than claims by Keating for statutory or other rights to indemnification
as a result of his service as an officer and director of the Registrant) and (4)
KI would indemnify the Purchaser and the Registrant from liabilities arising out
of any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of KI,
Keating and LC, for a period of six months from the Closing, up to a maximum
amount of $50,000. The aggregate purchase price for the Shares was
$210,129.51, or approximately $0.05441 per share. In connection with
the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser also agreed to assume, and to pay at the
closing of the transactions under the Purchase Agreement (“Closing”), certain
obligations of the Registrant in an aggregate amount of $30,000 (including
$15,000 owed to KI as a consulting fee for services rendered to the Registrant
in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Purchase Agreement)
(“Assumed Obligations”). The Closing occurred on February 3,
2010. The Purchaser paid the aggregate purchase price for the Shares
with personal funds. There are no arrangements or understandings
among members of both the former and new control groups and their associates
with respect to election of directors or other matters.
The
Company's principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such
time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with a
business rather than immediate, short-term earnings. The Company will not
restrict its potential candidate target companies to any specific business,
industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of
business.
Basis of
Presentation - The accompanying financial statements include the accounts
of the Company. The operations of Whitco, prior to the disposition of Whitco's
assets, are excluded from continuing operations.
Going
Concern — Since inception, the Company and its former subsidiary have a
cumulative net loss of $4,183,513. Since inception, the Company has also been
dependent upon the receipt of capital investment or other financing to fund its
operations. The Company currently has no source of operating revenue, and has
only limited working capital with which to pursue its business plan, which
contemplates the completion of a business combination with an operating company.
The amount of capital required to sustain operations until the successful
completion of a business combination is subject to future events and
uncertainties. It may be necessary for the Company to secure additional working
capital through loans or sales of common stock, and there can be no assurance
that such funding will be available in the future. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.
The
accompanying financial statements have been presented on the basis of the
continuation of the Company as a going concern and do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset
amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be
necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going
concern.
NOTE
2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as
well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could
differ from these estimates.
Income Taxes -
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting
Standards Codification Topic 740, Income Taxes ("Topic 740"), which requires the
recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets at currently enacted tax
rates for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included
in the financial statements or tax returns. A valuation allowance is recognized
to reduce the net deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not
to be realized.
Topic 740
provides guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized
in a company's financial statements. Topic 740 requires a company to determine
whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon
examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the
more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position
to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements.
-
5 -
The
Company performed a review of its material tax positions. At the adoption date
of October 1, 2007, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits as a result of
tax positions taken in a prior period. During the fiscal quarters ended March
31, 2010 and 2009, there were no increases or decreases in unrecognized tax
benefits as a result of tax positions taken during those fiscal quarter, there
were no decreases in unrecognized tax benefits relating to settlements with
taxing authorities, and there were no reductions to unrecognized tax benefits as
a result of a lapse of the applicable statute of limitations. As of March 31,
2010, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would
affect the effective tax rate. As of March 31, 2010, the Company has no tax
positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of
unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within 12
months of the reporting date. Generally, the Company's tax years ended September
30, 2007 and after remain subject to examination by major taxing
jurisdictions.
The
Company has elected to classify any interest or penalties recognized with
respect to any unrecognized tax benefits as income taxes. During the fiscal
quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not recognize any
amounts for interest or penalties with respect to any unrecognized tax benefits.
As of March 31, 2010, no amounts for interest or penalties with respect to any
unrecognized tax benefits have been accrued.
Cash and Cash
Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents, if any, include all highly
liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date
of purchase.
Fair Value of
Financial Instruments - On July 1, 2008, the Company adopted Accounting
Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
("Topic 820"). Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation
hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure
requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as
follows:
·
|
Level
1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for
identical assets or liabilities in active
markets.
|
·
|
Level
2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar
assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable
for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for
substantially the full term of the financial
instrument.
|
·
|
Level
3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the
fair measurement.
|
The fair
value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accrued liabilities and
accounts payable approximate carrying value because of the short-term nature of
these items.
Revenue
Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with
Accounting Standards Codification Section 605-10-S99, Revenue Recognition,
Overall, SEC Materials ("Section 605-10-S99"). Section 605-10-S99 requires that
four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services
rendered; (3) the fee is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is
reasonably assured. The Company had no operations and no revenue for the fiscal
quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.
Net Loss Per
Share - Basic loss per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing the loss
available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that
could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
exercised or converted into common stock. The Company currently has no dilutive
securities and as such, basic and diluted loss per share are the same for all
periods presented.
Comprehensive
Loss - Comprehensive loss is defined as all changes in stockholders'
equity, exclusive of transactions with owners, such as capital investments.
Comprehensive loss includes net loss, changes in certain assets and liabilities
that are reported directly in equity such as translation adjustments on
investments in foreign subsidiaries and unrealized gains (losses) on
available-for-sale securities. For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the
Company's comprehensive loss was the same as its net loss.
-
6 -
Stock
Compensation for Services Rendered - The Company accounts for equity
instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of
Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation
("Topic 718") and Accounting Standards Codification Section 505-50, Equity,
Equity-Based Payments to
Non-employees
("Section 505-50"). All transactions in which goods or services are the
consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for
based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the
equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement
date of the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the
date on which the counterparty's performance is complete or the date on which it
is probable that performance will occur.
Recently Issued
Accounting Pronouncements - In March 2008, the FASB issued amendments to
Accounting Standards Codification Sections 815-10-15 and 815-10-65, Derivatives
and Hedging, Overall. These amendments expand the disclosure requirements by
requiring qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using
derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of, and gains and
losses on, derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit risk-related
contingent features in derivative agreements. These amendments are effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after
November 15, 2008.
In April
2008, the FASB issued amendments to Accounting Standards Codification Section
350-10 through 30, Intangibles - Goodwill and Others. These amendments modify
the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension
assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset.
These amendments are effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning October
1, 2009, with early adoption prohibited.
In May
2008, the FASB issued amendments to Accounting Standards Codification Section
470-20, Debt, Debt with Conversion and Other Options which clarifies the
treatment of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon
conversion (including partial cash settlement). These amendments also specify
that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and
equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity's nonconvertible debt
borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. These
amendments are effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning October 1,
2009.
In June
2008, the FASB amended Accounting Standards Codification Section 260-10,
Earnings per Share, Overall. These amendments address whether instruments
granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior
to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in computing earnings per share
under the two-class method. These amendments require companies to treat unvested
share-based payment awards that have non-forfeitable rights to dividend or
dividend equivalents as a separate class of securities in calculating earnings
per share. These amendments will be effective for the Company's fiscal year
beginning October 1, 2009, with early adoption prohibited.
In May
2009, the FASB amended Accounting Standards Codification Section 855-10,
Subsequent Events, Overall. These amendments establish the general standards of
accounting for, and disclosure of, events that occur after the balance sheet
date, but before financial statements are issued or available to be issued.
These amendments are effective for interim and fiscal periods ending after June
15, 2009. The Company has evaluated subsequent events for the period from March
31, 2010, the date of these financial statements, through May 13, 2010, which
represents the date the Company intends to file these financial statements with
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to the requirements of
Accounting Standards Codification Section 855-10, there were no events or
transactions occurring during this subsequent event reporting period that
require recognition or disclosure in these financial statements. With respect to
this disclosure, the Company has not evaluated subsequent events occurring after
May 13, 2010.
In June
2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-01, Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles--amendments based on--Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 168--The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, amending Accounting
Standards Codification Section 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
("Update No. 2009-01") which identifies the sources of accounting principles and
the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial

In
February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-09,
“Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure

share-based payment award as either equity or a liability. A share-based payment
that contains a condition that is not a market, performance, or service
condition is required to be classified as a liability. ASU 2010-13 is effective
for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or
after December 15, 2010 and is not expected to have a significant impact on
the Company’s financial statements. The adoption of these new
Standards, when effective, did not have, and is not expected to have, a material
effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash

funds. There are no arrangements or understandings among members of

Current
Business of Issuer
Since
completion of its Reorganization, the Company's business strategy has been to
investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target operating
company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held
corporation. The Company's principal business objective for the next 12 months
and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a
combination with an operating business rather than immediate, short-term
earnings. The Company will not restrict its potential candidate target companies
to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may
acquire any type of business.
Under SEC
Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
the Company qualifies as a "shell company," because it has no or nominal assets
(other than cash) and no or nominal operations. Management does not intend to
undertake any efforts to cause a market to develop in our securities, either
debt or equity, until we have successfully concluded a business combination. The
Company intends to comply with the periodic reporting requirements of the
Exchange Act for so long as it is subject to those requirements.
The
analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the
supervision of Kevin R. Keating, the sole officer and director of the Company.
As of this date, the Company has not entered into any definitive agreement with
any party, nor have there been any specific discussions with any potential
business combination candidate regarding business opportunities for the Company.
The Company has unrestricted flexibility in seeking, analyzing and participating
in potential business opportunities. In its efforts to analyze potential
acquisition targets, the Company will consider the following kinds of
factors:
(i)
Potential for growth, indicated by new technology, anticipated market expansion
or new products;
(ii)
Competitive position as compared to other firms of similar size and experience
within the industry segment as well as within the industry as a
whole;
(iii)
Strength and diversity of management, either in place or scheduled for
recruitment;
(iv) Capital requirements and anticipated
availability of required funds, to be provided by the Company or from
operations, through the sale of additional securities, through joint ventures or
similar arrangements or from other sources;
(v) The
cost of participation by the Company as compared to the perceived tangible and
intangible values and potentials;
(vi) The
extent to which the business opportunity can be advanced;
(vii) The
accessibility of required management expertise, personnel, raw materials,
services, professional assistance and other required items; and
(viii)
Other relevant factors.

In
applying the foregoing criteria, no one of which will be controlling, management
will attempt to analyze all factors and circumstances and make a determination
based upon reasonable investigative measures and available data. Potentially
available business opportunities may occur in many different industries, and at
various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative
investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult
and complex. Due to the Company's limited capital available for investigation,
the Company may not discover or adequately evaluate adverse facts about the
opportunity to be acquired.
The
Company's principal place of business is located at 1328 W. Balboa Blvd. Suite
C, Newport Beach, CA 92661. Our telephone number is (949) 903-0468.
Plan
of Operations
The
Company's current business strategy and plan of operation has been to
investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target operating
company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held
corporation. The Company does not currently engage in any business activities
that provide cash flow. The costs of investigating and analyzing business
combinations for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be paid with money
in the Company's treasury or with additional amounts, as necessary, to be loaned
to or invested in the Company by its stockholders, management or other
investors.
During
the next 12 months the Company anticipates incurring costs related to the filing
of Exchange Act reports, and consummating a business combination. The Company
believes it will be able to meet these costs through use of funds in its
treasury and additional amounts to be loaned by or invested in the Company by
its stockholders, management or other investors. Currently, however, the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability
to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary
financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal
business operations when they come due. The Company's ability to continue as a
going concern is also dependent on its ability to find a suitable target
operating company and enter into a possible business combination with such
operating company. Management's plan includes obtaining additional funds by
equity financing prior to or in connection with a business combination and/or
related party advances; however, there is no assurance of additional funding
being available.
The Company may consider an operating
business which has recently commenced operations, is a developing company in
need of additional funds for expansion into new products or markets, is seeking
to develop a new product or service, or is an established business which may be
experiencing financial or operating difficulties and is in need of additional
capital. In the alternative, a business combination may involve the acquisition
of, or merger with, a company which does not need substantial additional
capital, but which desires to establish a public trading market for its shares,
while avoiding, among other things, the time delays, significant expense, and
loss of voting control which may occur in a public offering.
Any
target business that is selected may be a financially unstable company or an
entity in its early stages of development or growth, including entities without
established records of sales or earnings. In that event, the Company will be
subject to numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of financially
unstable and early stage or potential emerging growth companies. In addition,
the Company may effect a business combination with an entity in an industry
characterized by a high level of risk, and, although the Company's management
will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business,
there can be no assurance that the Company will properly ascertain or assess all
significant risks.
The
Company's management anticipates that it will likely be able to effect only one
business combination, due primarily to its limited financing and the dilution of
interest for present and prospective stockholders, which is likely to occur as a
result of the Company's plan to offer a controlling interest to a target
business in order to achieve a tax-free reorganization. This lack of
diversification should be considered a substantial risk in investing in the
Company, because it will not permit us to offset potential losses from one
venture against gains from another.
The
Company anticipates that the selection of a business combination will be complex
and extremely risky. Because of general economic conditions, rapid technological
advances being made in some industries and shortages of available capital, the
Company's management believes that there are numerous firms seeking even the
limited additional capital which we will have and/or the perceived benefits of
becoming a publicly traded corporation. Such perceived benefits of becoming a
publicly traded corporation include, among other things, facilitating or
improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be obtained,
providing liquidity for the principals of and investors in a business, creating
a means for providing incentive stock options or similar benefits to key
employees, and offering greater flexibility in structuring acquisitions, joint
ventures and the like through the issuance of stock. Potentially available
business combinations may occur in many different industries and at various
stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative
investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult
and complex.

retain any entity to act as a "finder" or a consultant to identify and/or
analyze the merits of potential target businesses.
Results
of Operation
For the
three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had no revenues from
continuing operations. It is unlikely the Company will have any revenues unless
it is able to effect an acquisition or merger with an operating company, of
which there can be no assurance. It is management's assertion that these
circumstances may hinder the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.
For the
three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company had a net loss of $29,627, as
compared with a net loss of $5,948 for the corresponding period in 2009. For the
three months ending March 31, 2010, the Company incurred $
36,602 of operating expenses, comprised
of (a) accounting and audit fees of $26,812, (b) legal fees of $5,524 (c)
transfer agent fees of $927 (d) Edgar filing fees of $1,570, (e) other
miscellaneous expenses of $769 and (f) management fees of $1,000 incurred in
relation to a broad range of managerial and administrative services provided by
Vero management. For the three months ending March 31, 2009, the Company
incurred $5,948 of operating expenses, comprised of (a) accounting and audit
fees of $1,109, (b) management fees of $3,000 incurred in relation to a broad
range of managerial and administrative services provided by Vero, (c) transfer
agent fees of $1,040, and (d) Edgar filing fees of $799.
For the
six months ended March 31, 2010, the Company had a net loss of $44,246, as
compared with a net loss of $15,545 for the corresponding period in 2009. For
the six months ending March 31, 2010, the Company incurred $44,246 of operating

of $5,524 (c) transfer agent fees of $2,108 (d) Edgar filing fees of $2,083, (e)
other miscellaneous expenses of $769 and (f) management fees of $4,000 incurred
in relation to a broad range of managerial and administrative services provided
by Vero management. For the six months ending March 31, 2009, the Company
incurred $15,545 of operating expenses, comprised of (a) accounting and audit
fees of $5,609, (b) management fees of $6,000 incurred in relation to a broad
range of managerial and administrative services provided by Vero, (c) transfer
agent fees of $2,261, and (d) Edgar filing fees of $1,675.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
March 31, 2010, the Company had assets equal to $1,413, comprising exclusively

party.

The
Company currently has nominal assets, no active business operations and no
sources of revenues. The Company is dependent upon the receipt of capital
investment or other financing to fund its ongoing operations and to execute its
business plan of seeking a combination with a private operating company. In
addition, the Company is dependent upon certain related parties to provide
continued funding and capital resources. If continued funding and capital
resources are unavailable at reasonable terms, the Company may not be able to
implement its plan of operations. Our financial statements indicate that without
additional capital, there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as
a going concern.
Going
Concern
We
currently have no source of operating revenue, and have only limited working
capital with which to pursue our business plan, which contemplates the
completion of a business combination with an operating company. The amount of
capital required to sustain operations until the successful completion of a
business combination is subject to future events and uncertainties. It may be
necessary for us to secure additional working capital through loans or sales of
common stock, and there can be no assurance that such funding will be available
in the future. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern. Our auditor has issued a "going concern"
qualification as part of his opinion in the Audit Report for the year ended
September 30, 2009, and our unaudited financial statements for the quarter ended
March 31, 2010 include a "going concern" footnote.

Critical
Accounting Policies
The
preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities, revenues and expenses
and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. The SEC has defined a company's critical
accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the
company's financial condition and results of operations, and which require the
company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result
of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. We
believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the
circumstances; however, actual results may vary from these estimates and
assumptions. We have identified in Note 2 - "Summary of Accounting Policies" to
the Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report certain critical
accounting policies that affect the more significant judgments and estimates
used in the preparation of the financial statements.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We have
not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably
likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in
financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity,
capital expenditures or capital resources and would be considered material to
investors.

Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of
March 31, 2010, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial
officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive
officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by
this report.
