Part 1: Financial Information


Statements in this Form 10-Q Quarterly Report may be “forward-looking statements.”  Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions.  These statements are based on our current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by our management.  These assumptions are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.  Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, including those risks discussed in this Form 10-Q Quarterly Report, under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in other documents which we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In addition, such statements could be affected by risks and uncertainties related to our financial condition, factors that affect our industry, market and customer acceptance, changes in technology, fluctuations in our quarterly results, our ability to continue and manage our growth, liquidity and other capital resource issues, competition, fulfillment of contractual obligations by other parties and general economic conditions.  Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-Q Quarterly Report, except as required by Federal Securities law.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Seafarer Exploration Corp. are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the dates and periods presented. The financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information.

These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Transition Report on Form 10-K for the eight months ended December 31, 2008 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2009 or for any future period.

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Seafarer Exploration Corp. (the “Company”) is incorporated in the State of Delaware.

The principal business of the Company is the exploration and recovery of an underwater shipwreck. The Company has not generated revenues and is therefore considered a development stage company. The Company’s year-end is December 31.

On June 4, 2008, Seafarer Exploration, Inc (“Seafarer Inc.”) merged with Organetix, Inc. (“Organetix”) pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”). The Exchange Agreement provided for the exchange of all of Seafarer Inc.’s common shares for 131,243,235 of Organetix post-merger common shares. Considering that Seafarer Inc.’s former stockholders now control the majority of Organetix’ outstanding voting common stock, Seafarer Inc.’s management has actual operational control of Organetix and Organetix has effectively succeeded its otherwise minimal operations to Seafarer Inc.’s operations, Seafarer Inc. is considered the accounting acquirer in this reverse-merger transaction. A reverse-merger transaction with a non-operating public shell company is considered, and accounted for as a capital transaction in substance; it is equivalent to the issuance of Seafarer Inc.’s common stock for the net monetary assets of Organetix, accompanied by a recapitalization. Accordingly, the accounting does not contemplate the recognition of unrecorded assets of the accounting acquiree, such as goodwill. However, on the date of the merger, Organetix was a blank-check public shell company and had no assets and no liabilities. Consolidated financial statements presented herein and subsequent to the merger reflect the consolidated financial assets and liabilities and operations of Seafarer Inc., at their historical costs, giving effect to the recapitalization, as if it had been Organetix during the periods presented.

On July 17, 2008, we changed our name from Organetix, Inc. to Seafarer Exploration Corp. During 2008, we changed our year end from April 30 to December 31.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred net losses of $1,340,833 since inception. We expect to expend our available cash in less than one month based on our historical rate of expenditures. Management's plans include raising capital through the equity markets to fund operations, and the generating of revenue through its business. Failure to raise adequate capital and generate adequate revenues could result in the Company having to curtail or cease operations. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of the common stock is unknown. Additionally, even if the Company does raise sufficient capital to support its operating expenses and generate adequate revenues, there can be no assurances that the revenue will be sufficient to enable it to develop to a level where it will generate profits and cash flows from operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. However, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classifications of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
This summary of significant accounting policies of Seafarer Exploration Corp. is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements.  The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity.  These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Cash
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments and short-term debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period.   Diluted earnings per share is computed giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares may consist of incremental shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants. In periods in which a net loss has been incurred, all potentially dilutive common shares are considered antidilutive and thus are excluded from the calculation. For the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, there were 4,819,444 and 4,444,444 potentially dilutive common shares outstanding that were not included in dilutive loss per share.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities. The impact of adopting SFAS 157 as of January 1, 2008 was not significant to the Company’s financial statements. SFAS 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Valuation based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Valuation based on quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets.

Level 3 – Valuation based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring management’s best estimate of what market participants would use as fair value.

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2008.  The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.  These financial instruments include cash, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The fair value of the Company’s notes payable and convertible notes payable is estimated based on current rates that would be available for debt of similar terms which is not significantly different from its stated value.

On January 1, 2009, the Company applied FAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157), for all non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis in accordance with FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FAS 157” (FSP 157-2), which postponed the effective date of FAS 157 for those assets and liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, which for the Company is January 1, 2009. The application of FSP 157-2 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Income Taxes
The Company provides for federal and state income taxes payable, as well as for those deferred because of the timing differences between reporting income and expenses for financial statement purposes versus tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recoverable or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period of the change. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, on January 1, 2007. The Company has not recognized a liability as a result of the implementation of Interpretation 48. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits has not been provided since there is no unrecognized benefit as of the date of adoption. The Company has not recognized interest expense or penalties as a result of the implementation of Interpretation 48. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.


NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Currently our only asset is a diving vessel, which we purchased for $325,000 during 2008 and is being depreciated over a 10 year useful life.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," the Company reviews the carrying amount of long-lived assets on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that suggest impairment. The Company determines if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is impaired based on anticipated undiscounted cash flows before interest from the use of the asset. In the event of impairment, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. Fair value is determined based on appraised value of the assets or the anticipated cash flows from the use of the asset, discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. There was no impairment charges recorded during each of the quarters ended March 31, 2009 or 2008.

Non-Employee Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services, as prescribed by SFAS No. 123R, at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the measurement date guidelines enumerated in EITF 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services."

Use of Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses.  Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements.  Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
 
Convertible Notes Payable
The Company accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible notes in accordance with SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133") and Emerging Issues Task Force EITF 00-19, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company's Own Stock" ("EITF 00-19"). SFAS 133 generally requires companies to bifurcate conversion options embedded in convertible notes from their host instruments and to account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments in accordance with EITF 00-19. SFAS 133 provides for an exception to this rule when convertible notes, as host instruments, are deemed to be conventional as that term is described in the implementation guidance under Appendix A to SFAS 133 and further clarified in EITF 05-2 "The Meaning of "Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument" in Issue No. 00-19.”  As of March 31, 2009 all of the Company’s convertible notes payable were classified as conventional instruments.

The Company accounts for convertible notes deemed conventional and conversion options embedded in non-conventional convertible notes which qualify as equity under EITF 00-19, in accordance with the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue ("EITF") 98-5 "Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features," and EITF 00-27 "Application of EITF 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments". Accordingly, the Company records, as a discount to convertible notes, the intrinsic value of such conversion options based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt.  As of March 31, 2009, none of the Company’s convertible notes payable included a beneficial conversion option.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R), “Business Combinations,” effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. SFAS 141(R) changed the accounting treatment for business combinations on a prospective basis. SFAS 141(R) requires that all assets, liabilities, contingent considerations and contingencies of an acquired business be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date. SFAS 141(R) also requires that acquisition costs be expensed as incurred and restructuring costs be expensed in periods after the acquisition date. SFAS 141(R) will only affect the Company’s financial condition or results of operations to the extent it has business combinations after the effective date.

In April 2009, the FASB issued three FSP’s intended to provide additional application guidance and enhance disclosures regarding fair value measurements and impairments of securities, all of which are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly,” provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity of an asset or liability have significantly decreased from normal market activity. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires interim reporting of fair value disclosures. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,” provides additional guidance in determining whether a debt security is other-than-temporarily impaired and expands the disclosures of other-than-temporarily impaired debt and equity securities. The adoption of each of these FSPs is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.


 
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by FASB (including EITF), the AICPA and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.


NOTE 5 – CAPITAL STOCK

Common Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value common stock.  All shares have equal voting rights, are non-assessable and have one vote per share. Voting rights are not cumulative and, therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the common stock could, if they choose to do so, elect all of the directors of the Company.

At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, the Company had issued 6,333,335 and 3,966,668 common shares subject to anti-dilution protection guaranteeing the shareholders a minimum value of $0.015 to $0.020 per share. The anti-dilution protection extends through the date upon which all registration restrictions expires, typically one year from the date the shares were issued, and is based upon the trading market value at the end of that period. Due to the fact that the number of shares required to settle this minimum value guaranty will not be known until the registration restrictions have expired, the Company cannot guarantee with certainty that it will have enough authorized shares to settle these agreements. Accordingly, these shares have been accounted for in accordance with EITF Topic No. D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities. Pursuant to this guidance, the shares subject to the anti-dilution protection require classification as mezzanine equity until such time as this anti-dilution feature expires.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the holder of a $50,000 convertible note payable converted his note payable into 3,470,000 common shares.  Also during the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the company issued 2,366,667 shares of common stock for $35,000 cash.


NOTE 6 – NOTES PAYABLE

The notes are payable between September 1, 2008 through June 1, 2009 and are secured by the equipment, fixtures, inventory, accounts receivable and intellectual property of the Company. All of these notes were issued prior to the June 2008 merger discussed in Note 1. These notes are currently in default due to non-payment of principal and interest.

As of May 15, 2009 Seafarer has received $120,000 in repayment of the money owed to the Company by Blue Water Ventures of Key West, Inc. and the Company believes that the entire principal amount of the notes receivable is collectible.



NOTE 8 – DIVISON OF ARTIFACTS AND TREASURE

·
40% to the Company

More specifically the State of Florida has the right to select up to 20% of the total value of recovered artifacts and treasure for the State's museum collection.

Overview

General

Seafarer Exploration Corp. ("the Company" or "Seafarer"), a Delaware Corporation, was incorporated on May 28, 2003. The Company formerly operated under the name Organetix, Inc. (“Organetix”). The Company's principal business plan is to engage in the archaeologically-sensitive exploration and recovery of a shipwreck located off of Juno Beach, Florida. The exploration and recovery of historic shipwrecks is extremely speculative and there is a very high degree of risk inherent in this type of business venture. The Company has not yet generated revenues, and is therefore considered a development stage company.

Plan of Operation

The Company has taken the following steps to implement its business plan:
 
 
·
To date the Company has devoted its time towards establishing its business in the exploration and salvage of artifacts and cargo from a shipwreck located off of Juno Beach, Florida. 

 
·
Although the Company has not generated revenues to date our development activities continue to evolve. We have been a development stage company since inception, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7.

 
·
The Company completed the acquisition of Seafarer, and as a result we are no longer a shell company as defined in Rule 144(i) under the Securities Act of 1933.  As discussed in Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, the acquisition of Seafarer was characterized as a reverse-acquisition. Accordingly, the results of operations discussed in this Item 7, relate to the consolidated financial assets and liabilities and operations of Seafarer, Inc., not Organetix, during the periods being discussed.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations - continued
Plan of Operation - continued
 
If we are unable to effectively locate and recover artifacts that have significant value from the Juno Beach shipwreck site then we may have to suspend or cease our efforts. The Company is also interested in locating other shipwreck sites performing exploration and recovery efforts on other historic shipwreck sites. Furthermore the Company has also entered into an agreement to obtain information regarding the theoretical location and details of a deepwater shipwreck, however the Company does not have the capital to meet its obligations under the agreement and therefore has not obtained the information regarding the deepwater shipwreck. Even if the Company is able to obtain the information regarding the deepwater shipwreck there will be significant amounts of additional capital required to actually pinpoint the exact location of the wreck and/or to conduct recovery operations. At this time the Company does not have any formal plans to raise the capital that will be necessary locate, explore and recover the deepwater shipwreck. If the Company ceases its previously stated efforts there are not any plans to pursue other business opportunities.
 
Limited Operating History

Previously, the Company devoted its time towards establishing its business and no revenues have been generated to date. As such, the Company is considered as being in the development stage, since its inception, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7 the Company has does not expect to report any significant revenue from operations for the foreseeable future.

The Company is a development stage company. In a development stage company, management devotes most of its activities to establishing a new business. As of March 31, 2009, the Company had a working capital deficit of ($95,992). The Company is in immediate need of further working capital and is seeking options with respect to financing in the form of debt, equity or a combination thereof. Since inception, the Company has funded its operations through common stock issuances and loans in order to meet its strategic objectives.  However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain further funds to continue with its efforts to establish a new business.

The Company expects to continue to incur significant operating losses and to generate negative cash flow from operating activities while exploring and attempting to salvage artifacts from the Juno Beach shipwreck and establishing itself in the marketplace. We expect to expend our available cash in less than one month from May 15, 2009 based on our historical rate of expenditures. The Company’s ability to eliminate operating losses and to generate positive cash flow from operations in the future will depend upon a variety of factors, many of which it is unable to control. If the Company is unable to implement the Company’s business plan successfully, it may not be able to eliminate operating losses, generate positive cash flow, or achieve or sustain profitability, which have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operations, and financial results, as well as its ability to make payments on its debt obligations and the Company may be forced to cease its operations.

Results of Operations

Since February 5, 2007, our inception, we have generated no revenues.  Our operating and other expenses from inception through March 31, 2009 are $1,340,833 of which $82,381 was incurred during the three month period ended March 31, 2009 and $164,838 was incurred during the three months period ended March 31, 2008. Our major expenses in both periods were for consulting and independent contractor expenses mostly related to fees for corporate development, management, accounting, and corporate communications services as well as for the personnel involved in the exploration and recovery efforts at the Juno Beach shipwreck site including the divers and archeologist. The decrease in expenses from the quarter ended March 31, 2009 to 2008 is due to a reduction in consulting and contractor expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of March 31, 2009, we had cash on hand of $25,016. During the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and from inception (February 5, 2007) to March 31, 2009, we incurred net losses of ($82,381) and ($1,340,833) respectively. We had a working capital deficit of ($95,992) as of March 31, 2009.

During the three month period ended March 31, 2009 Seafarer has funded operations through the receipt of $120,000 from Blue Water Ventures of Key West, Inc. in partial repayment of the money owed to the Company by Blue Water Ventures of Key West, Inc. The Company has received $35,000 from the issuance of common stock under subscription agreements, and Seafarer has received $28,500 in proceeds from convertible promissory notes and shareholder loans.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations - continued
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources - continued
 
The Company is presently seeking additional financing. We expect to expend our available cash in less than one month from May 15, 2009 based on our historical rate of expenditures. The Company depends upon activities such as subsequent offerings of our common stock or debt financing in order to operate and grow the business. The Company has no specific plans for selling its common stock and no arrangements for debt financing.  There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in raising additional capital. There are may be other risks and circumstances that management may be unable to predict.
 
The Company’s ability to obtain additional financing will be subject to a variety of uncertainties. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The inability to raise additional funds on terms favorable to the Company, or at all, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. If the Company is unable to obtain additional capital, it will be forced to scale back planned expenditures, which would adversely affect its business and financial condition.

Notes payable and convertible notes payable, in default

At March 31, 2009, the Company had a total of $70,000 in convertible promissory notes outstanding. A portion of the notes, totaling $55,000, pay interest at 6% and are convertible at the option of the lenders into common stock at $0.0144 per share. The notes totaling $55,000 are payable between September 1, 2008 through June 1, 2009 and are secured by the equipment, fixtures, inventory, accounts receivable and intellectual property of the Company. These notes that total $55,000 in the aggregate were issued prior to the June 2008 merger discussed in Note 1. These convertible promissory notes are currently in default due to non-payment of principal and interest.

Two other notes were issued during the three months ended March 31, 2009, one in the amount of $10,000 and another in the amount of $5,000, totalling$15,000. The Company entered into these note agreements with two separate individuals related to the Company’s CEO. These notes pay interest at 10% per year and are convertible at the option of the lenders into common stock at $0.015 per share.  Both of these notes are payable in January 2010 and are secured by the equipment, fixtures, inventory, accounts receivable and intellectual property of the Company.  These convertible promissory notes are currently in default due to non-payment of principal and interest.

At March 31, 2009, the Company also had three promissory notes outstanding totaling $56,500. These notes have a maturity of one year, carry an annual interest rate of 8% and pay interest on a quarterly basis. These notes are unsecured and are not convertible. These notes are currently in default due to non-payment of principal and interest.

The Company does not have additional sources of debt financing to refinance its promissory notes that are currently in default.  If the Company is unable to obtain additional capital, such lenders may file suit, including suit to foreclose on the assets held as collateral for obligations arising under the secured notes. If the lenders foreclose on the assets of the Company the Company may be forced to cease its operations.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported herein. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The critical accounting estimates are those that we believe are the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed financial statements. As of March 31, 2009 there have been no material changes to the critical accounting estimates as described in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in the Notes to the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We have reviewed accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. We believe that the following impending standards may have an impact on our future filings.  The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations - continued
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - continued
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R), “Business Combinations,” effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. SFAS 141(R) changed the accounting treatment for business combinations on a prospective basis. SFAS 141(R) requires that all assets, liabilities, contingent considerations and contingencies of an acquired business be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date. SFAS 141(R) also requires that acquisition costs be expensed as incurred and restructuring costs be expensed in periods after the acquisition date. SFAS 141(R) will only affect the Company’s financial condition or results of operations to the extent it has business combinations after the effective date.

In April 2009, the FASB issued three FSP’s intended to provide additional application guidance and enhance disclosures regarding fair value measurements and impairments of securities, all of which are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly,” provides guidelines for making fair value measurements more consistent with the principles presented in SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity of an asset or liability have significantly decreased from normal market activity. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires interim reporting of fair value disclosures. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,” provides additional guidance in determining whether a debt security is other-than-temporarily impaired and expands the disclosures of other-than-temporarily impaired debt and equity securities. The adoption of each of these FSPs is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by FASB (including EITF), the AICPA and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as of March 31, 2009.  Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of such periods are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures are not effective because of material weaknesses relating to internal controls as described in Item 9A (T) of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The company has limited resources and as a result, management has concluded that material weaknesses in financial reporting currently exist, including those described below.  These material weaknesses were described in Item 9A(T) of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

* The Company has an insufficient quantity of dedicated resources and experienced personnel involved in reviewing and designing internal controls. As a result, a material misstatement of the interim and annual financial statements could occur and not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

* We have not achieved the optimal level of segregation of duties relative to key financial reporting functions.

* We do not have an audit committee or an independent audit committee financial expert. While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee or independent audit committee financial expert, it is management’s view that an audit committee, comprised of independent board members, and an independent financial expert is an important entity-level control over the Company's financial statements.

* We have not achieved an optimal segregation of duties for executive officers of the Company.

A material weakness is a deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) auditing standard 5) or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The Company has not made any change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Exemptions from Registration for Sales of Restricted Securities.

These securities were issued to persons who were either “accredited investors,” or “sophisticated investors” who, by reason of education, business acumen, experience or other factors, were fully capable of evaluating the risks and merits of an investment in us; and each had prior access to all material information about us. We believe that the offer and sale of these securities was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Sections 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) thereof, and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Act. Section 18 of the Act preempts state registration requirements for sales to these classes of persons.
