NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE
1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of The Blackhawk Fund
("Blackhawk" or the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules
of
the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained
in
Blackhawk's Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-KSB. In the opinion
of
management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of
operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The
results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
the
results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements
which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited
financial statements for 2007 as reported in the 10-KSB have been
omitted.
NOTE
2 - STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
Prior
to
January 1, 2006 we accounted for stock based compensation under Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
(FAS 123). As permitted under this standard, compensation cost was recognized
using the intrinsic value method described in Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25). Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (FAS 123R) and applied
the
provisions of the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin
No. 107 using the modified-prospective transition method. Prior periods were
not
restated to reflect the impact of adopting the new standard. As a result of
the
adoption of FAS 123R, stock-based compensation expense recognized during the
nine months ended September 30, 2008 includes compensation expense for all
share-based payments granted on or prior to, but not yet vested as of December
31, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the
original provisions of FAS 123, and compensation cost for all share-based
payments granted on or subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date
fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of FAS 123R.
Beginning
on January 1, 2006, any future excess tax benefits derived from the exercise
of
stock options will be recorded prospectively and reported as cash flows from
financing activities in accordance with FAS 123R.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2008 the Company recorded stock based
consulting expense of $92,300, as determined under FASB 123R..
NOTE
3 - PROPERTY - HELD FOR SALE/FIXED ASSETS
In
late
March 2006, the Company purchased a condominium located in Carlsbad, California
for $625,083. The Company intends to renovate and sell the condo. Since the
Company intends to sell the condominium upon completion of the planned
renovations, it has been designated as "held-for-sale". Therefore it will be
carried at the lower cost or fair value (net of expected sales costs) during
the
renovation period and will not be depreciated. Major improvements and
renovations are capitalized.
In
June
of 2006, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement to renovate and
then
sell a residential home located in Oceanside, California. The Company is a
50%
joint venture partner, but has the right to exercise control. The Company is
100% responsible for improvement costs, with these costs to be reimbursed upon
sale and any remaining profits split 50/50. The Company has valued the house
at
the original value of the liability assumed of $1,000,000. As the intention
on
this property is identical described above the description related to "held
for
sale" no depreciation applies. The Company has capitalized improvements on
this
property of $149,817.
NOTE
4 - COMMON STOCK
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the company issued 221,100,000 shares
of common stock under its stock option plan resulting in an expense of $92,300
and cash received $186,260.
5
NOTE
5-PREFERRED STOCK
On
April
24, 2008, the Company withdrew its certificate of designation establishing
the
Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and filed a new certificate of designation
for 500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share.
Anytime after October 24, 2008, the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible
based upon the average of the per shares market value of the Company’s common
stock during the 20 trading days immediately preceding a conversion date. In
addition, upon the consummation of a bona fide sale third party sale by the
Company of its securities resulting in gross proceeds of at least $1,000,000,
the Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert into the securities
being sold in such offering. The Series A Preferred Stock has no voting rights,
dividend rights, liquidation preference, redemption rights, or preemptive
rights.
On
April
24, 2008, the Company issued 500,000 shares of the newly designated Series
A
Preferred Stock as part of a financing transaction. See Note 6. The Company
has
valued the convertible shares using the Black-Scholes model and has recognized
a
financing expense equivalent to the stated value of the Series A Preferred
Stock
of $500,000.
Series
B Preferred Stock
On
April
24, 2008, the Company amended the certificate of designation establishing the
Company’s Series B Preferred Stock. Pursuant to this amendment, the Company’s
Series B Preferred Stock now contains on limitation on conversions such that
no
holder of Series B Preferred Stock can convert such shares into the Company’s
common stock if such conversion would result in the holder owning in excess
of
4.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.
Series
C Preferred Stock
On
April
24, 2008, the Company amended the certificate of designation for its Series
C
Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the Amendment, on all matters submitted to a vote
of the holders of the common stock, including, without limitation, the election
of directors, a holder of shares of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to the number of votes on such matters equal to the product of (a)
the
number of shares of the Series C Preferred Stock held by such holder, (b) the
number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, on a
fully-diluted basis, as of the record date for the vote, or, if no such record
date is established, as of the date such vote is taken or any written consent
of
stockholders is solicited, and (c) 0.0000002.
NOTE

the Company is required to make interest-only payments for the first 10 years
(first 120 payments). The initial monthly payments were $3,225 and have since

Company’s former president. The
note
payable is personally guaranteed by the Company’s president. This note is
arrears at September 30, 2008.
In
conjunction with the joint venture property described in Note 3 above, the
Company refinanced this note in July 2007 and assumed a 50% interest and
corresponding promissory note debt of $1,440,000. Terms indicate that the first
note is for $1,120,000 over 30 years, with interest only payments required
for
the first 10 years. The second note is carried for $320,000 with interest at
9.875% over 30 years, with interest only payments required for the first 10
years. Monthly amounts are presently $9,983. Both of the above notes are
classified as long term notes payable. This amount is in arrears at September
30, 2008.
On
April
24, 2008, the Company issued, and the formerly related party accepted, a
subordinated secured non-recourse note in the principal amount of $841,828,
due
December 31, 2008. The current balance on this note is $843,199. See Note
8.
6
On

a
single accredited investor: (i) a $550,000 12% secured promissory note and
(ii)
500,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. To secure payment of
the note, Terminus pledged the 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series C
Preferred Stock. The Company is considered a guarantor of the note, and
accordingly, has treated the note as a contingent liability.
NOTE

a
single accredited investor (1) a $550,000 12% secured promissory note and (2)

a
going concern.

ITEM
2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS.
The
following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our
financial statements and related notes included in this report. This report
contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The statements contained in this
report that are not historic in nature, particularly those that utilize

forward-looking statements based on current expectations and assumptions.
Various risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially
from those expressed in forward-looking statements. Please refer to the Risk
Factors section of our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for a description of these
risks and uncertainties.
All
forward-looking statements in this document are based on information currently
available to us as of the date of this report, and we assume no obligation
to
update any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve known
and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual
results to differ materially from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements.
General
The
Blackhawk Fund acquires and redevelops residential and commercial real estate
for investment. Once we acquire a property, we redevelop and refurbish the
properties, seeking to enhance the value of the properties. Once a property
is
refurbished, we seek to generate revenue by rental of the property, and we
also
seek to resell the properties if market conditions permit. We currently hold
two
properties in our real estate portfolio.
Historically,
we have also operated a media and television production division. In this
division, we have sought to manage and implement proprietary media properties,
including cable television shows, infomercials, online video magazines, and
DVDs. However, as discussed below, management has determined that the ongoing
media and television production operations are not viable, and accordingly
has
determined to discontinue the media and television production
operations.
Change
of Control and Change in Management
On
April
24, 2008, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with Terminus, Inc. and
Palomar Enterprises, Inc. pursuant to which Terminus purchased 10,000,000 shares
of our Series C Preferred Stock from Palomar for $363,000. As a result, the
sale
of the Series C Preferred Stock by Palomar to Terminus effectively transferred
Palomar’s control of our company to Terminus.
Concurrently,
Steve Bonenberger resigned as our President and Chief Executive Officer, and
Brent Fouch resigned as our Secretary and Chief Financial Officer. In connection
therewith, the board of directors increased the number of authorized directors
from two to three and appointed Frank Marshik to fill the newly created vacancy
on the board. The board of directors then appointed Mr. Marshik as our
President, Chief Financial Officer, and Secretary. Thereafter, Mr. Bonenberger
and Mr. Fouch resigned as directors. Mr. Marshik, as the sole remaining
director, appointed Terry Ross to fill one of the two vacancies resulting from
these resignations.
On
August
19, 2008, the board of directors reduced the number of authorized directors
from
three (3) to one (1). Concurrently therewith, Terry Ross resigned as a director.
Mr. Ross’ resignation was not due to any disagreements with The Blackhawk Fund
on matters relating to its operations, policies, and practices.
Plan
of Operation
Our
new
management determined that our company has incurred operating and net losses
in
each of the last two fiscal years, had a working capital deficit as of the
end
of the latest fiscal year and as of the latest fiscal quarter, and has a large
accumulated deficit. Accordingly, new management has commenced an analysis
of
each of our two business lines to determine the viability of each line during
the second and third quarters of 2008. Within each line of business, management
has evaluated and is evaluating historical and projected costs in running the
line, existing and potential revenue streams, and the availability of additional
capital for expansion of the business line. In particular, with respect to
the
real estate business, management is evaluating our current real estate portfolio
in light of current market conditions, both in the real estate markets and
the
credit markets. Upon completion of the analysis, management will determine
whether to seek to expand the business line or to discontinue or divest of
the
division.
8
As
of the
date of this report, management has determined that, based on its analysis
of
the foregoing factors, the media and television production operations are not
viable. Accordingly, management has determined to discontinue the media and
television production operations. Management is continuing the evaluation of
our
real estate business, the existing real estate portfolio valuations, the
existing and potential rental possibilities, the current market values, and
the
existing financing arrangements. In addition, in light of the distress in the
real estate markets, management is looking at potential real estate acquisition
opportunities that, if consummated, would increase and diversify our real estate
portfolio. Management is also considering diversifying into additional lines
of
business. In all cases, management may seek to form one or more partnerships,
enter into one or more joint ventures, or conduct one or more strategic
acquisitions.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
discussion and analysis of our financial conditions and results of operations
is
based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared
in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
The preparation of financial statements requires managers to make estimates
and
disclosures on the date of the financial statements. On an on-going basis,
we
evaluate our estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to revenue
recognition. We use authoritative pronouncements, historical experience, and
other assumptions as the basis for making judgments. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. We believe the following critical accounting policies
affect our more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our
consolidated financial statements. A summary of our critical accounting policies
can be found in the notes to our annual financial statements included our Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Comparison
of the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007
Net
sales.
Our
revenues were $6,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, as compared
to $38,145 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. This decrease resulted
from lower demand for our media products and services which resulted in our
decision to cease our media operations. The decrease also resulted from a lack
of sales of any real estate properties held for development. Our revenues were
generated from rental income from our real estate properties.
Cost
of Sales.
Our
costs of sales were $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, as
compared to $17,072 for the three months ended September 30, 2007, all of which
resulted from our media operations.

Expenses
resulting from the issuance of our common stock and options to purchase our
common stock decreased to $0 for the first three months ended September 30,
2008
from $28,900 for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. This decrease
resulted from a significant reduction in shares and options issued for services
in the third quarter of 2008 as compared to the third quarter of
2007.
Interest.
Interest
expense increased to $51,045 for the three months ended September 30, 2008
from
$43,975 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. This increase resulted
primarily from the issuance of 500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock,
valued at $500,000, in connection with our change of control
financing.
Net
loss.
We
incurred an operating loss of $77,896 for the three months ended September
30,
2008, compared to a net loss of $577,507 for the three months ended September
30,2007. The decrease in net loss resulted primarily from the decrease in
expenses associated with cessation of media department.

Net
sales.
Our
revenues were $25,765 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, as compared
to $313,073 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This decrease resulted
from lower demand for our media products and services which resulted in our
decision to cease our media operations. The decrease also resulted from a lack
of sales of any real estate properties held for development. Our revenues were
generated from rental income from our real estate properties and revenues from
our former media operations.
Cost
of Sales.
Costs of
sales were $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to

common stock decreased to $92,300 for the first nine months ended September
30,
2008 from $1,322,836 for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. This
decrease resulted from a significant reduction in shares and options issued

valued at $500,000, in connection with our change of control
financing.
Net
loss.
We
incurred an operating loss of $915,372 for the nine months ended September
30,
2008, compared to a net loss of $2,083,743 for the nine months ended September
30, 2007. The reduction in net loss resulted primarily from a significant
reduction in shares and options issued for services in the first three quarters
of 2008 as compared to the first three quarters of 2007. The reduction was
offset by the issuance of 500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, valued
at
$500,000, in connection with our change of control financing
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We
have
financed our operations, debt service, and capital requirements through cash
flows generated from operations and through issuance of debt and equity
securities. Our working capital deficit at September 30, 2008 was $958,911,
and
we had cash of $2,343 as of September 30, 2008.
We
used
$232,075 of net cash in operating activities for the nine months ended September
30, 2008, compared to using $703,019 in the nine months ended September 30,
2007. The net loss of $915,372 was offset by non-cash expenses of $505 in
depreciation and amortization, $92,300 of stock and options issued for services,
$500,000 of stock issued for interest in connection with the change in control
financing, an increase of $89,850 in accounts payable, and an increase of $640
in other assets.
10
We
generated $4,550 net cash flows from investing activities for the nine months
ended September 30, 2008, whereas we used $88,365 in net cash flows from
investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The cash
flow
generated from investing activities related to the disposition of certain
equipment.
Net
cash
flows provided by financing activities were $227,487 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008, compared to net cash flows provided by financing activities
of $799,862 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. This increase in
net
cash provided by financing activities is due to proceeds from the exercise
of
stock options and receipt of stock subscriptions of $186,260 and proceeds from
related party notes payable of $78,551. These cash flows were offset by
repayment of $37,324 of related party debt.
Capital
Requirements
Our
financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 state that
we
have incurred significant losses, have a negative capital, and a negative
current ratio. These factors, among others indicate that we may not be able
to
continue as a going concern. We believe that, as of the date of this report,
in
order to fund our plan of operations over the next 12 months, we will need
to
fund its operations out of cash flows generated from operations, from the
borrowing of money, and from the sale of additional securities. It is possible
that we will be unable to obtain sufficient additional capital through the
borrowing of money or the sale of our securities as needed.
Part
of
our growth strategy may include diversifying into additional lines of business,
forming one or more partnerships, entering into one or more joint ventures,
or
conducting one or more strategic acquisitions, which may require us to raise
additional capital. We do not currently have binding agreements or
understandings to acquire any other companies.
We
intend
to retain any future earnings to pay our debts, finance the operation and
expansion of our business and any necessary capital expenditures, and for
general corporate purposes.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
On
April
24, 2008, the Company and Terminus, Inc., as co-issuers, issued and sold to
a
single accredited investor: (i) a $550,000 12% secured promissory note and
(ii)
500,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. To secure payment of
the note, Terminus pledged the 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series C
Preferred Stock. The Company is considered a guarantor of the note, and
accordingly, has treated the note as a contingent liability. In the event that
Terminus defaults on the note, the Company will become unconditionally liable
for repayment of all principal and interest then due under the note and will
incur an expense for the full amount of all such principal and interest. The
purpose of the Company’s guarantee of the note was to facilitate the change in
control transaction.

ITEM
4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized,
and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in
Rule 13a-15(e). In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and
procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no
matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance
of
achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was
required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship
of
possible controls and procedures.
At
the
end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried
out
an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our former
management, including our former Chief Executive Officer and former Chief
Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our former Chief
Executive Officer and our former Chief Financial Officer concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that all material
information required to be disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
has
been made known to them in a timely fashion.
Our
former Chief Executive Officer and former Chief Financial Officer have also
evaluated whether any change in our internal controls occurred during the last
fiscal quarter and have concluded that there were no material changes in our
internal controls or in other factors that occurred during the last fiscal
quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, these controls.
