Overview
The
Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on May 3, 1989
as Sparta Ventures Corp. and remained inactive until June 27,
1998. The name of the Company was changed to Thermal Ablation
Technologies Corporation on October 8, 1998 and then to Poker.com, Inc. on
August 10, 1999. On September 15, 2003, the Company changed its name
to LegalPlay Entertainment Inc. and on November 8, 2006, the name of the Company
was changed to Synthenol Inc.
Effective
November 3, 2008, the Company merged with and into its wholly-owned subsidiary,
SinoCubate, Inc., a newly formed Nevada corporation, which remains the surviving
entity of the merger. SinoCubate was formed in the State of Nevada on
September 11, 2008. The merger has resulted in a change of name of
the Company from Synthenol, Inc. to SinoCubate, Inc. and a change in the state
of incorporation of the Company from Florida to Nevada.
Change
in Control
On August
15, 2008, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement, Viking Investments Group LLC
or Viking acquired 366,520 shares of the Company’s common stock from certain of
the Company’s stockholders for $350,000 in cash. In addition, certain promissory
notes and debt in the aggregate principal amount of $243,500 owed to the selling
stockholders by the Company were assigned by the stockholders to Viking as
reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 21,
2008. The shares acquired by Viking represented approximately 50.1%
of the Company’s then issued and outstanding capital stock calculated on a
fully-diluted basis and the sale of the shares represented a change of control
of the Company.
Business
The
Company’s business from 1999 through December 31, 2003 was primarily related to
the operations of online gaming. In 2004, the Company discontinued
the online gaming operations and redirected its business strategy to acquisition
and marketing of new poker software to on-line gaming websites
worldwide. The Company’s current business plan consists of exploring
opportunities to enter into contractual arrangements with an entity that enables
the Company to either purchase outright the assets and/or business operations of
such entity or to enter into business arrangements, such as joint ventures or
similar combinations with such entity to manage and operate such
entity.
As of the
date of this Report, the Company has not entered into an agreement with any
entity and there can be no assurance that the Company will ever be able to
identify and enter into an agreement with an entity or whether, if the Company
successful enters into an agreement with a suitable entity, such combination may
become successful and/or profitable.
Item
1A. Risk Factors
There
are several material risks associated with the Company. You should carefully
consider the risks and uncertainties described below, which constitute all of
the material risks relating to the Company. If any of the following risks are
realized, our business, operating results and financial condition could be
harmed. This means investors could lose all or a part of their
investment.
2
Conflicts
of Interest
Certain
conflicts of interest may exist between the Company and its sole officer and
director and its principal shareholder, Viking. The Company’s sole officer and
director, Tom Simeo, has other business interests to which he devotes his
attention, and he may devote only limited time to the business of the Company.
As a result, conflicts of interest may arise that can be resolved only through
exercise of such judgment as is consistent with fiduciary duties to the Company.
See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.”
Need
for Additional Financing
The
Company currently has little or no funds and the lack of funds may negatively
impact the Company’s ability to pursue it business strategy of seeking to
acquire or enter into contractual arrangements with an entity to either
acquire such entity or to enter into a contract arrangement that will enable the
Company to manage such an entity. Even if the Company’s funds prove to be
sufficient to acquire an interest in, or complete a transaction with, a business
opportunity, the Company may not have enough capital to exploit the opportunity.
The ultimate success of the Company may depend upon its ability to raise
additional capital. The Company has not investigated the availability, source,
or terms that might govern the acquisition of additional capital and will not do
so until it determines a need for additional financing. If additional capital is
needed, there is no assurance that funds will be available from any source or,
if available, that they can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company. If
not available, the Company’s operations will be limited to those that can be
financed with its modest capital.
Regulation
of Penny Stocks
The
Company’s securities may be subject to a SEC rule that imposes special sales
practice requirements upon broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons
other than established customers or accredited investors. For purposes of the
rule, the phrase “accredited investors” means, in general terms, institutions
with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess
of $1,000,000 or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that, when
combined with a spouse’s income, exceeds $300,000). For transactions covered by
the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for
the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction
prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of
broker-dealers to sell the Company’s securities and also may affect the ability
of purchasers in this offering to sell their securities in any market that might
develop.
In
addition, the SEC has adopted a number of rules to regulate “penny stocks.” Such
rules include Rules 3a51-1, 15g-1, 15g-2, 15g-3, 15g-4, 15g-5, 15g-6, 15g-7, and
15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Because the
securities of the Company may constitute “penny stocks” within the meaning of
the rules, the rules would apply to the Company and to its securities. The rules
may further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell the securities of the
Company in any market that might develop for them.
Shareholders
should be aware that, according to SEC, the market for penny stocks has suffered
in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i)
control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are
often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through
prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press
releases; (iii) “boiler room” practices involving high-pressure sales tactics
and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive
and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
(v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers
after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting
inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor
losses.
Lack
of Operating History
The
majority interest in the Company was purchased in August 2008 for the purpose of
seeking a business opportunity. Due to the special risks inherent in the
investigation, acquisition, or involvement in a new business opportunity, the
Company must be regarded as a new or start-up venture with all of the unforeseen
costs, expenses, problems, and difficulties to which such ventures are
subject.
3
No
Assurance of Success or Profitability
There is
no assurance that the Company will be able to acquire or consummate a favorable
business opportunity. Even if the Company should become involved in a business
opportunity, there is no assurance that it will generate revenues or profits, or
that the market price of the Company’s common stock will be increased
thereby.
Possible
Business – Not Identified and Highly Risky
The
Company has not identified and has no commitments to enter into or acquire a
specific business opportunity and therefore can only disclose the risks and
hazards of a business or opportunity that it may enter into in only a general
manner, and cannot disclose the risks and hazards of any specific business or
opportunity that it may enter into. An investor can expect a potential business
opportunity to be quite risky. The Company’s acquisition of or participation in
a business opportunity will likely be highly illiquid and could result in a
total loss of investment to the Company and its stockholders if the business or
opportunity proves to be unsuccessful. See Item 1 “Business.”
Type
of Business Acquired
The type
of business to be acquired may be one that desires to avoid effecting its own
public offering and the accompanying expense, delays, uncertainties, and federal
and state requirements which purport to protect investors. Because of the
Company’s limited capital, it is more likely than not that any acquisition by
the Company will involve other parties whose primary interest is the acquisition
of control of a publicly traded company. Moreover, any business opportunity
acquired may be currently unprofitable or present other negative
factors.
Impracticality
of Exhaustive Investigation
The
Company has limited or no funds and, this, coupled with the lack of full-time
management will likely make it impracticable to conduct a complete and
exhaustive investigation and analysis of a business opportunity before the
Company commits its capital or other resources to such venture. Decisions will
therefore likely be made without detailed feasibility studies, independent
analysis, market surveys and the like which, if the Company had more funds
available to it, would be desirable. The Company will be particularly dependent
in making decisions upon information provided by the promoter, owner, sponsor,
or others associated with the business opportunity seeking the Company’s
participation. A significant portion of the Company’s available funds may be
expended for investigative expenses and other expenses related to preliminary
aspects of completing an acquisition transaction, whether or not any business
opportunity investigated is eventually acquired.
Lack
of Diversification
Because
of the limited financial resources that the Company has, it is unlikely that the
Company will be able to diversify its acquisitions or operations. The Company’s
probable inability to diversify its activities into more than one area will
subject the Company to economic fluctuations within a particular business or
industry and therefore increase the risks associated with the Company’s
operations.
Reliance
upon Financial Statements
The
Company generally will require audited financial statements from companies that
it proposes to acquire or to which it seeks to enter into a contractual
arrangement. In cases where no audited financials are available, the
Company will have to rely upon interim period unaudited information received
from target companies’ management that has not been verified by outside
auditors. The lack of the type of independent verification which audited
financial statements would provide increases the risk that the Company, in
evaluating an acquisition or contractual arrangement with such a target company,
will not have the benefit of full and accurate information about the financial
condition and recent interim operating history of the target company. This risk
increases the prospect that the acquisition of or the contractual arrangement
with such a company might prove to be an unfavorable one for the Company or the
holders of the Company’s securities.
4
Moreover,
the Company will be subject to the reporting provisions of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended or the Exchange Act, and thus will be required
to furnish certain information about significant acquisitions or contractual
arrangements, including audited financial statements for any business that it
acquires or with which it enters into a contractual arrangement for control.
Consequently, prospects that do not have, or are unable to provide reasonable
assurances that they will be able to obtain, the required audited statements
would not be considered by the Company to be appropriate for acquisition so long
as the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act are applicable. Should the
Company, during the time it remains subject to the reporting provisions of the
Exchange Act, complete an acquisition or enters into a contract for control of
an entity for which audited financial statements prove to be unobtainable, the
Company would be exposed to enforcement actions by the SEC and to corresponding
administrative sanctions, including permanent injunctions against the Company
and its management. The legal and other costs of defending an SEC enforcement
action would have material, adverse consequences for the Company and its
business. The imposition of administrative sanctions would subject the Company
to further adverse consequences. In addition, the lack of audited financial
statements would prevent the securities of the Company from becoming eligible
for listing on NASDAQ, or on any existing stock exchange.
Moreover,
the lack of such financial statements is likely to discourage broker-dealers
from becoming or continuing to serve as market makers in the securities of the
Company. Without audited financial statements, the Company would almost
certainly be unable to offer securities under a registration statement pursuant
to the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Act, and the ability of the
Company to raise capital would be significantly limited until such financial
statements were to become available.
Other
Regulation
An
acquisition or a contractual arrangement for control of an entity made by the
Company may be of a business that is subject to rules and regulation by federal,
state, local or foreign authorities. Compliance with such rules and regulations
can be expected to be a time-consuming, expensive process and may limit other
opportunities of the Company.
Limited
Participation of Management
The
Company is heavily dependent upon the skills, talents, and abilities of its sole
officer and director, Tom Simeo, who currently serves on a very limited-time
basis, to manage and implement its business plan.
Lack
of Continuity in Management
The
Company does not have any employment agreements with its sole officer, Mr.
Simeo, and as a result, there is no assurance Mr. Simeo will continue to be
associated with the Company in the future. In connection with acquisition of a
business opportunity, it is likely that Mr. Simeo may resign as an officer and
director of the Company subject to compliance with Section 14f of the Exchange
Act. A decision to resign will be based upon the identity of the business
opportunity and the nature of the transaction, and is likely to occur without
the vote or consent of the stockholders of the Company.
5
No
Independent Audit Committee
The
Company does not have an independent Audit Committee of its Board of Directors.
The entire Board of Directors functions as the Company’s Audit Committee. The
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or the SOX and rules and regulations adopted by the
SEC to implement the SOX impose certain standards on listed companies relative
to the maintenance and operations of Board of Directors Audit Committees,
including but not limited to the requirement that Audit Committees be appointed,
that membership of such committees comprise only independent directors, that a
financial professional be among the membership of such committee and that such
committee be afforded an adequate operating budget and be able to employ
independent professional advisors. The SOX also requires that the Audit
Committee oversee the work of a company’s outside auditors and that the outside
auditors be responsible to the Audit Committee. At this time, the Company is not
in compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as they relate to
independent Board of Directors Audit Committees. The Company believes that under
rules and regulations adopted by the SEC to implement these provisions of the
SOX it is not required to comply with its requirements relating to the
appointment of an Audit Committee of its Board of Directors and conforming with
the enumerated standards and guidelines because the Company is not a “Listed
Company” as defined therein. Notwithstanding, the Company may ultimately be
determined not to be in compliance therewith and may therefore face penalties
and restrictions on its operations until it comes into full compliance.
Additionally, the Company’s failure to comply with the provisions of the SOX
could preclude it from being listed on NASDAQ or any other stock exchanges until
it can show that it is in compliance. The Company’s failure to be in compliance
with the SOX could also present an impediment to a potential business
combination where the target company intends that the Company apply for listing
on NASDAQ or any other applicable stock exchanges.
Indemnification
of Officers and Directors
Nevada
Statutes provide for the indemnification of the Company’s directors, officers,
employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney’s fees and
other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party
arising from their association with or activities on behalf of the Company. The
Company will also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of its directors,
officers, employees, or agents, upon such person’s promise to repay the Company
if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled
to indemnification. This indemnification policy could result in substantial
expenditures by the Company which it may be unable to recoup.
Dependence
upon Outside Advisors
To
supplement the Company’s officers, directors and principal shareholders, the
Company may be required to employ accountants, technical experts, appraisers,
attorneys, or other consultants or advisors. The selection of any such advisors
will be made by the Company without any input from stockholders. Furthermore, it
is anticipated that such persons may be engaged on an “as needed” basis without
a continuing fiduciary or other obligation to the Company. In the event the
Company considers it necessary to hire outside advisors, such persons may be
affiliates of the Company, if they are able to provide the required
services.
Competition
The
search for potentially profitable business opportunities of the type sought by
the Company is intensely competitive. The Company expects to be at a
disadvantage when competing with many firms that have substantially greater
financial and management resources and capabilities than the Company. These
competitive conditions will exist in any industry in which the Company may
become interested.
No
Foreseeable Dividends
The
Company has not paid dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate
paying such dividends in the foreseeable future.
Loss
of Control by Present Management and Shareholders
The
Company may consider an acquisition in which the Company would issue as
consideration for the business opportunity to be acquired an amount of the
Company’s authorized but unissued common stock that would, upon issuance,
represent the great majority of the voting power and equity of the Company. The
result of such an acquisition would be that the acquired company’s stockholders
and management would control the Company, and the Company’s Board of Directors
and management could be replaced by persons unknown at this time. Such a merger
would result in a greatly reduced percentage of ownership of the Company by its
current shareholders.
6
Rule
144 Sales
The
majority of the outstanding shares of common stock held by present stockholders
are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities
Act. As restricted shares, these shares may be resold only pursuant to an
effective registration statement or under the requirements of Rule 144 or other
applicable exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and as required
under applicable state securities laws. Rule 144 in general requires restricted
securities to be held for a particular length of time, and prescribes the
conditions which must be satisfied prior to the sale of the
securities. Under new amendments to Rule 144, if an issuer of
securities, such as the Company, has been subject to reporting requirements of
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act for at least 90 days, then the
restricted securities of such issuer are subject to a six-month holding
period. Under the amendments, a non-affiliate that has held
restricted securities of a reporting issuer for more than six months but less
than one year can resell the securities in reliance on Rule 144, if current
information is available for the issuer. After one year, the
non-affiliate may freely resell the restricted securities without regard to any
Rule 144 condition. A non-affiliate of a non-reporting issuer must
hold the securities for one year before any public resale. After one
year, a non-affiliate may freely resell such securities without regard to Rule
144 conditions. Under the new amendments, Rule 144 is not available
for the resale of securities initially issued by a shell company (reporting or
non-reporting) or a former shell company unless certain conditions detailed
under Rule 144 are met. A sale under Rule 144 or under any exemption
from the Securities Act, if available, or pursuant to subsequent registration of
shares of common stock of present stockholders, may have a depressive effect
upon the price of the Company’s common stock.
Other
Information
Neither
the Company nor any of its subsidiaries engaged in any research and development
activities during 2008. The Company does not manufacture any products
or engage in any activity that requires compliance with environmental
laws.
Employees
The
Company currently does not have any employees other than the Company’s sole
officer, Mr. Simeo.
Reports
to Securities Holders
The
Company provides an annual report that includes its audited financial
information to its shareholders upon written request. The Company
also makes its financial information equally available to any interested parties
or investors through compliance with the disclosure rules of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. The Company is subject to disclosure filing requirements
including filing a Form 10-K annually and Form 10-Q quarterly. In addition, the
Company will file Form 8-K and other proxy and information statements from time
to time as required.
The
public may read and copy any materials that we file with the SEC at the SEC's
Public Reference Room at 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549. The public may
obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the
SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site (http://www.sec.gov)
that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information
regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC.

SPECIAL
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
document includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 or the Reform Act. All
statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking
statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including, but
not limited to, any projections of earning, revenue or other financial items;
any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future
operations; any statements concerning proposed new services or developments; any
statements regarding future economic conditions of performance; and statements
of belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the
foregoing. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown
risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results,
performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any
future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, the following:
our ability to raise capital and the terms thereof; ability to gain an adequate
player base to generate the expected revenue; competition with established
gaming websites; adverse changes in government regulations or polices; and other
factors referenced in the Form 10-K.
The use
in this Form 10-K of such words as “believes”, “plans”, “anticipates”,
“expects”, “intends”, and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such
statements. These forward-looking statements present the Company’s estimates and
assumptions only as of the date of this report. Except for the
Company’s ongoing obligation to disclose material information as required by the
federal securities laws, the Company does not intend, and undertakes no
obligation, to update any forward-looking statements.
Although
the Company believes that the expectations reflected in any of the
forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ
materially from those projected or assumed or any of the Company’s
forward-looking statements. The Company’s future financial condition
and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are
subject to change and inherent risks and uncertainties.
PLAN
OF OPERATIONS
Overview
The
Company’s current business plan is to seek, investigate, and, if warranted,
enter into contractual arrangements with entities that enables the Company to
either purchase outright the assets and and/or business operations of such
entities or to enter into business arrangements, such as joint ventures or
similar combinations with such entities to manage and operate such entities as
affiliated entities of the Company.
9
As of the
date of this Report, the Company has not entered into an agreement with any such
entity and there can be no assurance that the Company will ever be able to
identify and enter into an agreement with an entity or whether, if the Company
successful enters into an agreement with an entity, such combination may become
successful and/or profitable.
The
Company is in immediate need of further working capital and options are being
explored with respect to financing in the form of debt, equity or a combination
thereof.
Investigation
and Selection of Business Opportunities
To a
large extent, a decision to participate in a specific contractual arrangement
may be made upon the principal shareholders’ analysis of the quality of the
other company’s management and personnel, the anticipated acceptability of new
products or marketing concepts, the merit of technological changes, the
perceived benefit the Company will derive from entering into such an
arrangement, and numerous other factors which are difficult, if not impossible,
to analyze through the application of any objective criteria. In many instances,
it is anticipated that the historical operations of a specific business
opportunity may not necessarily be indicative of the potential for the future
because of the possible need to access capital, shift marketing approaches
substantially, expand significantly, change product emphasis, change or
substantially augment management, or make other changes. The Company will be
dependent upon the owners of a business opportunity to identify any such
problems which may exist and to implement, or be primarily responsible for the
implementation of, required changes. Because the Company may participate in a
business opportunity with a newly organized firm or with a firm which is
entering a new phase of growth, it should be emphasized that the Company will
incur further risks, because management in many instances will not have proved
its abilities or effectiveness, the eventual market for such company’s products
or services will likely not be established, and such company may not be
profitable when acquired.
It is
emphasized that the Company may effect transactions having a potentially adverse
impact upon the Company’s shareholders pursuant to the authority and discretion
of the Company’s management and board of directors without submitting any
proposal to the stockholders for their consideration. Holders of the Company’s
securities should not anticipate that the Company will necessarily furnish such
holders, prior to any contractual arrangement or combination, with financial
statements, or any other documentation, concerning a target company or its
business. In some instances, however, a proposed arrangement may be submitted to
the stockholders for their consideration, either voluntarily by such directors
to seek the stockholders’ advice and consent or because federal and/or state law
so requires.
The
Company is unable to predict when it may participate in a business opportunity.
Prior to making a decision to participate in a business opportunity, the Company
will generally request that it be provided with written materials regarding the
business opportunity containing such items as a description of products,
services and company history; management resumes; financial information;
available projections, with related assumptions upon which they are based; an
explanation of proprietary products and services; evidence of existing patents,
trademarks, or services marks, or rights thereto; present and proposed forms of
compensation to management; a description of transactions between such company
and its affiliates during relevant periods; a description of present and
required facilities; an analysis of risks and competitive conditions; a
financial plan of operation and estimated capital requirements; audited
financial statements, or if they are not available, unaudited financial
statements, together with reasonable assurances that audited financial
statements would be able to be produced within a reasonable period of time
following completion of a merger transaction; and other information deemed
relevant.
As part
of the Company’s investigation, the Company’s officers may meet personally with
management and key personnel of the target entity, may visit and inspect
material facilities, obtain independent analysis or verification of certain
information provided, check references of management and key personnel, and take
other reasonable investigative measures, to the extent of the Company’s limited
financial resources.
There are
no loan arrangements or arrangements for any financing whatsoever relating to
any business opportunities is currently available.
10
Note1
Going
Concern Qualification
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. Management has no formal plan
in place to address this concern but considers that the Company will be able to
obtain additional funds by equity financing and/or related party advances;
however there is no assurance of additional funding being
available.
Results
of Operations
Year
ended December 31, 2008 Compared to Year ended December 31, 2007
General
Description
Our
current focus on a new business strategy of the Company is to seek to enter into
contractual arrangements with entities that enables the Company to either
purchase outright the assets and/or business operations of such entities or to
enter into business arrangements, such as joint ventures or similar combinations
with such entities to manage and operate such entities.
General and Administrative
Operating Expenses
The total
general and administrative operating expenses for the Company were $147,325 in fiscal 2008, compared
to $169,531 in fiscal 2007. The decrease is primarily due to lower management
and consultant fees in relation to the Company’s operations and SEC filings and
lower interest on notes payment.
Net
Income
The
Company incurred a net income of $79,122 for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2008 as compared with net income loss of $170,950 for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2007. This increase of $250,072 was mainly due to the
disposal of certain assets and discharge of certain debt
obligations.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
On
December 31, 2008, the Company had no working capital compared to a working
capital deficit of $376,314 at December 31, 2007. At December 31, 2008, the
Company had no cash holding compared to $66,273 at December 31,
2007. We are in immediate need of further working capital and the
Company may consider options with respect to financing in the form of debt,
equity or a combination thereof.
Net cash decrease for the
year ended December 31, 2008 was $66,273. The decrease
in cash was mainly due to payments of current year’s G&A expenses and the
discharge of prior year’s
liabilities.

have 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 or capital
expenditures or capital resources that is material to an investor in our
securities.

REPORT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
SinoCubate,
Inc.
We have
audited the accompanying balance sheet of SinoCubate, Inc. (the “Company”) as at
December 31, 2008 and the related statements of operations, comprehensive loss,
cash flows and changes in stockholders’ deficiency for the year then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the
statement of operations of the Company from the date of inception of the
development stage on January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2007, which statement
reflects cumulative expenses of $1,057,305. That period was audited
by another auditing firm whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion,
insofar as it relates to the cumulative financial information from inception of
the development stage on January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2007, is based solely
on the report of the other auditing firm.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our
opinion, based on our audit and the report of the other auditing firm, these
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2008 and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended and for the period
from inception of the development stage on January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2008
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United states
of America.
The
Company is not required to have nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for
designing audits procedures that were appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s
internal controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express
no such opinion.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will
continue as a going concern. As discussed in note 1 to the financial
statements, the Company is a development stage company and has no established
source of revenues. These conditions raise substantial doubt about
its ability to continue as going concern. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
The
financial statements of the Company as at December 31, 2007 were audited by
other auditing firm whose report dated March 17, 2008 expressed an opinion
without reservation.

NOTES TO
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December

Note

|
Nature
of business and going
concern
|
The
Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on May 3, 1989
as Sparta Ventures Corp. and remained inactive until June 27,
1998. The name of the Company was changed to Thermal Ablation
Technologies Corporation on October 8, 1998 and then to Poker.com, Inc. on
August 10, 1999. On September 15, 2003, the Company changed its name
to LegalPlay Entertainment Inc and November 8, 2006, the name of the Company was
changed to Synthenol Inc. The Company’s business through December 31,
2003 was primarily related to the operations of online gaming. In
2004, the Company discontinued the online gaming operations and redirected its
business strategy to acquisition and marketing of new poker software to on-line
gaming websites worldwide. The Company is a development stage company
as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards or SFAS No. 7,
“Development Stage Enterprises.”
On August
15, 2008, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement, Viking Investments Group LLC
or Viking acquired 366,520 shares of the Company’s common stock from certain of
the Company’s stockholders for $350,000 in cash. In connection with
the acquisition of the shares, certain promissory notes and debt in the
aggregate principal amount of $243,500 owed to the selling stockholders by the
Company were assigned by the stockholders to Viking as reported on a Current
Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 21, 2008. The shares
acquired by Viking represented approximately 50.1% of the Company’s then issued
and outstanding capital stock calculated on a diluted basis and the sale of the
shares represented a change of control of the Company.
On
September 29, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company ratified the
cancellation of shares previously held by the Company in its treasury under
certificate numbers 2057 (5,000 shares) and 2075 (15,504 shares) under the names
of LegalPlay Entertainment and Poker.Com Corp., respectively, the two
predecessor entities of the Company. The cancellation of the shares,
which were effective on September 23, 2008, has reduced the number of issued and
outstanding shares of common stock of the Company from 1,016,159 to 995,655
shares as of the date of this Report.
Effective
November 3, 2008, the Company merged with and into its wholly-owned subsidiary,
SinoCubate, Inc., a newly formed Nevada corporation, which remains the surviving
entity of the merger. SinoCubate was formed in the State of Nevada on
September 11, 2008. The merger has resulted in a change of name of
the Company from Synthenol Inc. to SinoCubate, Inc. and a change in the state of
incorporation of the Company from Florida to Nevada. Pursuant to the
terms of an agreement and plan of merger dated September 29, 2008 (attached as
exhibit to a Definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C filed with the SEC
on October 14, 2008) and effective as of November 3, 2008, SinoCubate possesses
all the rights, privileges, powers of the Company, and the Company’s debts and
liabilities are now debts and liabilities of SinoCubate. In addition,
all the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company will be
automatically converted into shares of SinoCubate common stock at the rate of
one share of SinoCubate common stock, par value $0.001 per share, for one share
of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company. The
articles of incorporation and bylaws of SinoCubate now govern the
Company.
Prior
to August 15, 2008, the company disposed of its subsidiaries and made
settlements with its creditors, leaving the company with no significant assets
and liabilities. The new management of the Company decided to focus on a new
business strategy pursuant to which the Company will seek to enter into
contractual arrangements with entities that enables the Company to either
purchase outright the assets and/or business operations of such entities or to
enter into business arrangements, such as joint ventures or similar combinations
with such entities to manage and operate such entities.
As of the
date of this Report, the Company has not entered into an agreement with any
entity and there can be no assurance that the Company will ever be able to
identify and enter into an agreement with an entity or whether, if the Company
successful enters into an agreement with a suitable entity, such combination may
become successful and/or profitable.
These
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the
Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its
next fiscal year. Realization values may be substantially different
from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect
to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification
of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going
concern. At December 31, 2008, the Company has accumulated losses of
$2,283,637 since its inception and expects to incur further losses in the
development of its business, all of which casts substantial doubt about the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. 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. Management has no formal plan in place
to address this concern but considers that the Company will be able to obtain
additional funds by equity financing and/or related party advances; however
there is no assurance of additional funding being available.

Summary
of Significant Accounting
Policies
|
|
a)
|
Basis of
Presentation and Going
Concern Assumption
|
The financial statements of the Company
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (“US
GAAP”) and are expressed in
U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December
31.
These financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the US GAAP applicable to a going concern, which
assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its
operations for its next fiscal year. Realization values may be substantially
different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not
give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and
classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going
concern. At December 31, 2008, the Company has accumulated losses of
$2,283,637 since its inception and expects to
incur further losses in the development of its business, both of which casts
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. 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 current business plan is to seek, investigate, and, if warranted,
enter into contractual arrangements with entities that enables the Company to
either purchase outright the assets and and/or business operations of such
entities or to enter into business arrangements, such as joint ventures or
similar combinations with such entities to manage and operate such entities as
affiliated entities of the Company.
|
b)
|
Use of
Estimates
|
The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts and timing of revenues and expenses, the
reported amounts and classification of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities. The Company’s actual results could vary materially
from management’s estimates and assumptions.
Significant areas requiring the use of management
estimates relate to the determination expected tax rates for future income tax
recoveries and determining the fair values of financial
instruments.
|
c)
|
Foreign Currency
Translation
|
For the
year ended December 31, 2007, the Company’s functional currency is the Canadian
dollar. The financial statements of the Company are translated to United States
dollar equivalents in accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency
Translation”. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
are translated into United States dollar equivalents at rates of exchange in
effect at the balance sheet date. Non-Monetary items are translated at
historical rates. Average rates for the year are used to translate revenues and
expenses. The cumulative translation adjustment is reported as a separate
component of accumulated other comprehensive income, whereas gains and losses
arising from foreign currency translations are included in results of
operations.
For the
year ended December 31, 2008, the Company’s functional currency and the
reporting currency are the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are translated into United States dollar
equivalents at rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date.
Non-Monetary items are translated at historical rates. Average rates for the
year are used to translate revenues and expenses. The gains and losses arising
from foreign currency translations are included in results of
operations.
|
d)
|
Other Comprehensive
Income
|
SFAS No. 130 “Reporting Comprehensive
Income,” establishes
standards for the reporting and display ofcomprehensive income and its components
in the financial statements. During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the only component of
comprehensive income was foreign currency translation
adjustments.
|
e)
|
Income
Taxes
|
The
Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes
pursuant to SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes". Under this
method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future
tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial
statements carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

NOTES TO
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December
31, 2008
The
Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”),
on January 1, 2007. Previously, the Company had accounted for tax
contingencies in accordance with SFAS No.5, Accounting for Contingencies. As
required by Interpretation 48, which clarifies SFAS No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax
position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would make more
likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions
meeting this standard, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the
largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized
upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. At the adoption date,
the Company applied Interpretation 48 to all tax positions for which the statute
of limitations remained open. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material
impact in the consolidated financial statements during the year ended December
31, 2008.
|
f)
|
Basic
and Diluted Loss Per Share
|
The
Company reports basic loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings
per Share”. Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings
per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if potentially
dilutive securities were exercised or converted to common stock. The
dilutive effect of options and warrants and their equivalent is computed by
application of the treasury stock method and the effect of convertible
securities by the “if converted” method.
|
g)
|
Financial
Instruments
|
The
carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting of cash,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities and notes payable approximates their
fair value due to the short maturity of such instruments. Unless otherwise
noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant
interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial
instruments.
|
h)
|
Stock-based
Compensation
|
The
Company has adopted SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” which requires the
compensation cost related to share-based payments, such as stock options and
employee stock purchase plans, be recognized in the financial statements based
on the grant-date fair value of the award. For the years
ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company has not adopted a stock
option plan and has not granted any stock options.
|
i)
|
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
|
In
February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No.
159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”.
This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and
financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for
which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No.
159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which
for the Company would be the fiscal year beginning January 1,
2008. The application of SFAS No. 159 has had no impact on the
Company’s financial position and results of operations.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements”. This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish
accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling (minority) interest
in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a
non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the
consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated
financial statements. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any,
that SFAS No. 160 will have on its financial statements. SFAS No. 160
is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1,
2010.

In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised) “Business Combinations”.
SFAS 141 (Revised) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer
of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the
identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling
interest in the acquiree. The statement also provides guidance for recognizing
and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines
what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to
evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The
guidance will become effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15,
2008. Management is in the process of evaluating the impact SFAS 141
(Revised) will have on the Company’s financial statements upon
adoption.
In March
2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No.
161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new
standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments
and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to
better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008,
with early application encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of adopting SFAS No. 161 on its financial statements, but believes it
will not have a material impact on its financial position, results of
operations, or cash flows upon adoption.
In May
2088, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard No. 162, "The Hierarchy of
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" ("SFAS No. 162"). The statement is
intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent hierarchy
for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements
that are prepared in conformance with GAAP. Unlike SAS No. 69, "The Meaning of Present
in Conformity With GAAP," SFAS No. 162 is directed to the entity rather than the
auditor. The statement is effective 60 days following the 5EC's approval of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, "The
Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with GAAP." The Company is currently
assessing the impact of this statement, but believes it will not have a material
impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon
adoption.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, "Accounting for Financial Guarantee
Insurance Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60." Diversity
exists in practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by
insurance enterprises under FASB Statement No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by
Insurance Enterprises. This results in inconsistencies in the recognition and
measurement of claim liabilities. This Statement requires that an insurance
enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured
event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an
insured financial obligation. This Statement requires expanded disclosures about
financial guarantee insurance contracts. The accounting and disclosure
requirements of the Statement will improve the quality of information provided
to users of financial statements. The adoption of FASB 163 is not expected to
have a material impact on the Company's financial position.
In May
2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Staff
Position ("FSP") APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May
be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement). FSP
APB14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash
upon either mandatory or optional conversion (including Partial Cash Settlement)
are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No.14, Accounting for
Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants. Additionally, FSP
APB14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for
the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity's
non-convertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in
subsequent periods. FSP APB14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and .interim periods within
those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP
APB14-1 will have on its financial position and results of operations, but
believes it will not have a material impact on its financial position, results
of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.
In June
2008, the FA5B ratified the consensus reached on EITF Issue No. 07-05,
Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an
Entity's Own Stock. EITF Issue No. 87-05 clarifies the determination of whether
an instrument (or an embedded feature) is indexed to an entity's own stock,
which would qualify as a scope exception under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. EITF Issue No. 07-05 is effective
for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2008. Early
adoption for an existing instrument is not permitted. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of adopting EITF Issue No. 07-05 on its financial
statements, but believes it will not have a material impact on its financial
position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.
On June
16, 2008, the FASB issued final Staff Position (FSP) No. EITF03-6-1,
"Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transaction Are
Participating Securities," to address the question of whether instrument granted
in share-based payment transaction are participating securities prior to
vesting. The FSP determines that unvested share-based payment awards that
contain rights to dividend payments should be included in earnings per share
calculations. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the requirement of (FSP)
No. EITF03-6-1 as well as the impact of the adoption on its financial
statements, but believes it will not have a material impact on its financial
position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.
In
December 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, "Disclosures by
Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests
in Variable Interest Entities" ("FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46 (R)-8"). FSP FAS140-4
and FIN 46(R)-8 amends FAS140 and FIN 46(R) to require additional disclosures
regarding transfers of financial assets and interest in variable interest
entities. FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46 (R)-8 is effective for interim or annual
reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of the adoption of FSP FAS140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8 will have
on its consolidated financial position and results of operations, but believes
it will not have a material impact on its financial position, results of
operations, or cash flows upon adoption.

Changes
in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial
Disclosure.
|
The
management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting. Management must evaluate its
internal controls over financial reporting, as required by Sarbanes-Oxley Act
Section 404 (a). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.
As of
December 31, 2008, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective
internal control over financial reporting established in Internal
Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
of the Treadway Commission and SEC guidance on conducting such
assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during
the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were
not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more
fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design
or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely
affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material
weaknesses.
The
matters involving internal controls and procedures that the Company’s management
considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee and
lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company's board of directors,
resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of
required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties
consistent with control objectives; (3) insufficient written policies and
procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the
requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (4)
ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting
processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by the
Company's chief financial officer in connection with the audit of our financial
statements as of December 31, 2008 and communicated the matters to our
management.
13
Management
believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2), (3) and (4) above
did not have an affect on the Company's financial results. However, management
believes that the lack of outside directors on the Company's board of directors
can resulting in oversight in the establishing and monitoring of required
internal controls and procedures which can affect the process of preparing
Company's financial statements.
Management
believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who shall be
appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a
functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on the
Company's Board. In addition, management believes that preparing and
implementing sufficient written policies and checklists will remedy the
following material weaknesses (i) insufficient written policies and procedures
for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and
application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (ii) ineffective
controls over period end financial close and reporting processes. Further,
management believes that the hiring of additional personnel who have the
technical expertise and knowledge will result in proper segregation of duties
and provide more checks and balances within the financial reporting department.
Additional personnel will also provide the cross training needed to support the
Company if personnel turn over issues within the financial reporting department
occur. This coupled with the appointment of additional outside directors will
greatly decrease any control and procedure issues the Company may encounter in
the future.
We will
continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and
procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing
basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional
enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

and Procedures.

There

in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 or

last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Simeo. Mr. Simeo, has been the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer since August 15, 2008, when Viking Investments Group LLC acquired
control of the Company. Mr. Simeo has been the chairman of the board
of directors of the Company since August 2008. Mr. Simeo, a corporate
lawyer and investment banker, is the founder and managing partner of Viking
Investments Group LLC. a Delaware limited liability company established in
1993. Between 1990 and 1993, Mr. Simeo advised on the financing and
private acquisition of state owned companies in former Soviet Bloc
countries. During the years of 1993 through 2004, Mr. Simeo
initiated, advised and helped structure investments in United States to foreign
private and publicly listed companies. From early 1980's through
1990, Mr. Simeo was a practicing lawyer in Sweden. Mr. Simeo is a
graduate Jur. kand. (Am. LL.M equivalent) from the University of Lund,
Sweden. Mr. Simeo also studied law at Stockholm University and
International Economy at Uppsala University in Sweden. Mr. Simeo is

Family
Relationships
There are
no family relationships among our directors or executive officers.
Audit
Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
We do not
currently have an audit committee financial expert, nor do we have an audit
committee. Our entire board of directors handles the functions that would
otherwise be handled by an audit committee. We do not currently have the capital
resources to pay director fees to a qualified independent expert who would be
willing to serve on our board and who would be willing to act as an audit
committee financial expert. As our business expands and as we appoint others to
our board of directors we expect that we will seek a qualified independent
expert to become a member of our board of directors. Before retaining any such
expert our board would make a determination as to whether such person is
independent.
Code
of Ethics
The
Company has not yet formally adopted a written code of ethics to be applied to
the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer,
principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar
functions. Based on its small size, limited financial and human
resources, the Company has not adopted written code of
ethics. However, the Company expects to adopt a code of ethics as
soon as practicable in fiscal 2009.
Involvement
in Certain Legal Proceedings
To the
best of the registrant's knowledge, during the past five years, no director,
executive officer, promoter or control person of the Company:
(1)
|
has
filed a petition under the federal bankruptcy laws or any state insolvency
law, nor had a receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer appointed by a
court for the business or present of such a person, or any partnership in
which he was a general partner at or within two years before the time of
such filing, or any corporation or business association of which he was an
executive officer within two years before the time of such
filing;

(2)
|
were
convicted in a criminal proceeding or named subject to a pending criminal
proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor
