NOTES
TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September
30, 2008
(Stated
in US Dollars)
(Unaudited)
NOTE
1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The
accompanying un-audited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of
America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q
and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America for annual financial statements. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals
considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. Operating
results for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December
31,
2008. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,
2007.
Business
description
Yacht
Finders, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on August 15, 2000 as
Sneeoosh Corporation. On October 20, 2000 the company filed an amended
Certificate of Incorporation to change the name to Snohomish Corporation. On
April 15, 2003 the company filed a subsequent amendment to change the name
to
Yacht Finders, Inc. Yacht Finder's Inc. business plan was to create an online
database for public buyers and yacht brokers to interface immediately with
each
other while capturing the benefits of targeting a larger market. On November
6,
2007, the Company discontinued its prior business and changed its business
plan.
The Company’s business plan now consists of exploring potential targets for a
business combination through the purchase of assets, share purchase or exchange,
merger or similar type of transaction. The Company has limited operations and
in
accordance with SFAS # 7, the Company is considered a development stage
company.
NOTE
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The
financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.
Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded as earned and
expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred. The Company has
adopted a December 31, year-end.
B.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months
or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash or cash
equivalents at September 30, 2008.
C.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CON’T)
D.
DEVELOPMENT STAGE
The
Company continues to devote substantially all of its efforts to exploring
potential targets for a business combination through the purchase of assets,
share purchase or exchange, merger or similar type of transaction.
E.
BASIC EARNINGS PER SHARE
In
February, 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", which
specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings
(loss) per share for entities with publicly held common stock. SFAS No. 128
supersedes the provisions of APB No. 15, and requires the presentation of basic
earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings (loss) per share.
Basic
net
loss per share amounts is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are
the
same as basic earnings per share due to the lack of dilutive items in the
Company.
F.
INCOME TAXES
Income
taxes are provided in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), Accounting for Income Taxes. A deferred tax asset
or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and
tax
reporting and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax expense (benefit)
results from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and
liabilities.
Deferred
tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of
management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of
enactment.
G.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The
Company has not recognized any revenues from its operations.
NOTE
3. WARRANTS AND OPTIONS
There
are
no warrants or options outstanding to acquire any additional shares of common
or
preferred stock.
NOTE
4. GOING CONCERN
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. The Company generated net losses of $105,122
during the period of April 15, 2003 (inception) to September 30, 2008. This
condition raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue
as a
going concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent on
its
ability to meet its obligations, to obtain additional financing as may be
required and ultimately to attain profitability. The financial statements do
not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
The
Company is dependent on advances from its principal shareholders for continued
funding. There are no commitments or guarantees from any third party to provide
such funding nor is there any guarantee that the Company will be able to access
the funding it requires to continue its operations.
7
NOTE
5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
From
inception through September 30, 2007, the Company's former president advanced
the Company $11,100 for working capital. These advances were non-interest
bearing and due on demand. The advances were repaid in full during the quarter
ended March 31, 2008
The
Company's former president contributed office space to the Company for the
periods through September 30, 2007. The office space was valued at $100 per
month based on the market rate in the local area and is reflected in the
accompanying financial statements as contributed rent expense with a
corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital.
At
September 30, 2008, the Company had loans and notes outstanding from a
shareholder in the aggregate amount of $54,107, which represents amounts loaned
to the Company to pay the Company’s expenses of operation. On December 31, 2007,
a shareholder payable was exchanged for a convertible promissory note with
a
principal balance of $11,366 due and payable on December 31, 2008. On March
31,
2008, an additional shareholder payable was exchanged for a convertible
promissory note with a principal balance of $17,620 due and payable on March
31,
2009. On June 30, 2008, an additional shareholder payable was exchanged for
a
convertible promissory note with a principal balance of $11,669 due and payable
on June 30, 2009. On September 30, 2008, an additional shareholder payable
was
exchanged for a convertible promissory note with a principal balance of $13,452
due and payable on September 30, 2009.The principal balance of the convertible
promissory notes and all accrued interest thereunder is convertible, in whole
or
in part, into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the payee or
other holder thereof at any time prior to maturity, upon ten days advance
written notice to the Company. The number of shares of the Company’s common
stock issuable upon such conversion shall be determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company based on what it determines the fair market value
of
the Company is at the time of such conversion. Upon conversion, the notes shall
be cancelled and replacement notes in identical terms shall be promptly issued
by the maker to the holder thereof to evidence the remaining outstanding
principal amount thereof as of the date of the conversion, if applicable. In
the
event of a stock split, combination, stock dividend, recapitalization of the
Company or similar event, the conversion price and number of shares issuable
upon conversion shall be equitably adjusted to reflect the occurrence of such
event.
Effective
as of October 1, 2007, the Company entered into a Services Agreement with
Fountainhead Capital Management Limited (“FHM”), a shareholder who owns 83.68%
of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. The term
of
the Services Agreement is one year and the Company is obligated to pay FHM
a
quarterly fee in the amount of $10,000, in cash or in kind, on the first day
of
each calendar quarter commencing October 1, 2007. Pursuant to the terms of
the
Services Agreement, FHM shall provide the following services to the
Company:
(a)
FHM will familiarize itself to the extent it deems appropriate with the
business, operations, financial condition and prospects of the
Company;
(b) At
the request of the Company’s management, FHM will provide strategic advisory
services relative to the achievement of the Company’s business
plan;
(c) FHM
will undertake to identify potential merger and acquisition targets for the
Company and assist in the analysis of proposed transactions;
(d) FHM
will assist the Company in identifying potential investment bankers, placement
agents and broker-dealers who are qualified to act on behalf of the Company
to
achieve its strategic goals.
(e) FHM
will assist in the identification of potential investors which might have an
interest in evaluating participation in financing transactions with the
Company;
(f) FHM
will assist the Company in the negotiation of merger, acquisition and corporate
finance transactions;
(g) At
the request of the Company’s management, FHM will provide advisory services
related to corporate governance and matters related to the maintenance of the
Company’s status as a publicly-reporting company; and
(h) At
the request of the Company’s management, FHM will assist the Company in
satisfying various corporate compliance matters.
8
NOTE
6. INCOME TAXES
The
Company records its income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting
for Income Taxes”. The Company incurred net operating losses during all periods
presented resulting in deferred tax assets. Realization of deferred tax assets
is dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during the period that
deductible temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be available
to reduce taxable income. As the achievement of required future taxable income
is uncertain, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance offsetting all
deferred tax assets.
NOTE
7. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
The
stockholders' equity section of the Company contains the following classes
of
capital stock as of September 30, 2008:
*
Preferred stock, $0.0001 par value: 20,000,000 shares authorized; -0- shares
issued and outstanding.
*
Common
stock, $0.0001 par value: 80,000,000 shares authorized; 5,199,000 shares issued
and outstanding.
ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial
statements and the notes thereto.
Forward-Looking
Statements
This
quarterly report contains forward-looking statements and information relating
to
us that are based on the beliefs of our management as well as assumptions made
by, and information currently available to, our management. When used in this
report, the words "believe," "anticipate," "expect," "estimate," “intend”,
“plan” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect
management's current view of us concerning future events and are subject to
certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including among many others:
a
general economic downturn; a downturn in the securities markets; federal or
state laws or regulations having an adverse effect on proposed transactions
that
we desire to effect; Securities and Exchange Commission regulations which affect
trading in the securities of "penny stocks," and other risks and uncertainties.
Should any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying
assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those
described in this report as anticipated, estimated or expected. The accompanying
information contained in this registration statement, including, without
limitation, the information set forth under the heading “Management’s Discussion
and Analysis or Plan of Operation -- Risk Factors" identifies important
additional factors that could materially adversely affect actual results and
performance. You are urged to carefully consider these factors. All
forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their
entirety by the foregoing cautionary statement.
Overview
We
are a
presently a shell company (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act) whose
plan of operation over the next twelve months is to seek and, if possible,
acquire an operating business or valuable assets by entering into a business
combination. We will not be restricted in our search for business combination
candidates to any particular geographical area, industry or industry segment,
and may enter into a combination with a private business engaged in any line
of
business, including service, finance, mining, manufacturing, real estate, oil
and gas, distribution, transportation, medical, communications, high technology,
biotechnology or any other. Management's discretion is, as a practical matter,
unlimited in the selection of a combination candidate. Management will seek
combination candidates in the United States and other countries, as available
time and resources permit, through existing associations and by word of mouth.
This plan of operation has been adopted in order to attempt to create value
for
our shareholders. For further information on our plan of operation and business,
see PART I, Item 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year
ending 2007.
9
Plan
of Operation
We
do not
intend to do any product research or development. We do not expect to buy or
sell any real estate, plant or equipment except as such a purchase might occur
by way of a business combination that is structured as an asset purchase, and
no
such asset purchase currently is anticipated. Similarly, we do not expect to
add
additional employees or any full-time employees except as a result of completing
a business combination, and any such employees likely will be persons already
then employed by the company acquired.
From
inception through November 6, 2007, the Company’s business plan was to create an
online database for public buyers and yacht brokers to interface immediately
with each other while capturing the benefits of targeting a larger market.
On
November 6, 2007, the Company discontinued its prior business and changed its
business plan. The Company’s business plan now consists of exploring potential
targets for a business combination through the purchase of assets, share
purchase or exchange, merger or similar type of transaction. We anticipate
no
operations unless and until we complete a business combination as described
above.
Results
of Operations for Fiscal Quarter Ended September 30, 2008 Compared To September
30, 2007
During
the third fiscal quarter of 2008, we had no revenues and had a net loss of
$(13,162) compared to a net loss of $(1,405) in the third fiscal quarter of
2007. General and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2008 related
to transfer agent fees, professional fees, filing agent fees, franchise tax
and
other compliance fees and payment of service fees in the amount of $10,000
to
Fountainhead Capital Management Limited, a shareholder of the Company and
related party. General and administrative expenses in the third quarter of
2007
related to professional fees, rent and other miscellaneous expenses, none of
which were related party expenses. We paid no rent or salaries and had no
operations during the third fiscal quarter of 2008.
Results
of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 Compared To September
30, 2007
During
the first nine months of 2008, we had no revenues and had a net loss of
$(43,956) compared to a net loss of $(5,316) in the first nine months of 2007.
General and administrative expenses in the first nine months of 2008 related
to
transfer agent fees, professional fees, filing agent fees, franchise tax and
other compliance fees and payment of service fees in the amount of $30,000
to
Fountainhead Capital Management Limited, a shareholder of the Company and
related party. General and administrative expenses in the first quarter of
2007
related to professional fees, rent and other miscellaneous expenses, none of
which were related party expenses. We paid no rent or salaries and had no
operations during the first nine months of 2008.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We
had
$-0- cash on hand at the end of the third quarter of 2008 and had no other
assets to meet ongoing expenses or debts that may accumulate. Since inception,
we have accumulated a deficit of $(105,122). As of September 30, 2008 we had
total liabilities of $(55,322).
We
have
no commitment for any capital expenditure and foresee none. However, we will
incur routine fees and expenses incident to our reporting duties as a public
company, and we will incur expenses in finding and investigating possible
acquisitions and other fees and expenses in the event we make an acquisition
or
attempt but are unable to complete an acquisition. Our cash requirements for
the
next twelve months are relatively modest, principally accounting expenses and
other expenses relating to making filings required under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), which should not exceed $50,000 in the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2008. Any travel, lodging or other expenses which
may
arise related to finding, investigating and attempting to complete a combination
with one or more potential acquisitions could also amount to thousands of
dollars.
We
will
only be able to pay our future obligations and meet operating expenses by
raising additional funds, acquiring a profitable company or otherwise generating
positive cash flow. As a practical matter, we are unlikely to generate positive
cash flow by any means other than acquiring a company with such cash flow.
We
believe that management members or shareholders will loan funds to us as needed
for operations prior to completion of an acquisition. Management and the
shareholders are not obligated to provide funds to us, however, and it is not
certain they will always want or be financially able to do so. Our shareholders
and management members who advance money to us to cover operating expenses
will
expect to be reimbursed, either by us or by the company acquired, prior to
or at
the time of completing a combination. We have no intention of borrowing money
to
reimburse or pay salaries to any of our officers, directors or shareholders
or
their affiliates. There currently are no plans to sell additional securities
to
raise capital, although sales of securities may be necessary to obtain needed
funds. Our current management has agreed to continue their services to us and
to
accrue sums owed them for services and expenses and expect payment reimbursement
only.
10
Should
existing management or shareholders refuse to advance needed funds, however,
we
would be forced to turn to outside parties to either loan money to us or buy
our
securities. There is no assurance whatever that we will be able at need to
raise
necessary funds from outside sources. Such a lack of funds could result in
severe consequences to us, including among others:
·
|
failure
to make timely filings with the SEC as required by the Exchange Act,
which
also probably would result in suspension of trading or quotation
in our
stock and could result in fines and penalties to us under the Exchange
Act;
|
·
|
curtailing
or eliminating our ability to locate and perform suitable investigations
of potential acquisitions; or
|
·
|
inability
to complete a desirable acquisition due to lack of funds to pay legal
and
accounting fees and acquisition-related expenses.
|
We
hope
to require potential candidate companies to deposit funds with us that we can
use to defray professional fees and travel, lodging and other due diligence
expenses incurred by our management related to finding and investigating a
candidate company and negotiating and consummating a business combination.
There
is no assurance that any potential candidate will agree to make such a
deposit.
Going
Concern
Our
independent auditors have added an explanatory paragraph to their
audit issued in connection with the financial statements for the period ended
December 31, 2007, relative to our ability to continue as a going concern.
We had $(55,322) negative working capital as of September 30, 2008; we had
an accumulated deficit of $(105,122) incurred through September 30,
2008 and recorded a loss of $(13,162) for the third quarter of 2008 and a loss
of $(21,755) from operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
The going concern opinion issued by our auditors means that there is substantial
doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for 12 month period ending
December 31, 2008 and thereafter. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the uncertainty about our ability to continue
our business.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
do not
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, capital
expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Risk
Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results
You
should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment
decision. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones
facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known
to us
or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations.
If
any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition,
or
results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In such case,
the
trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part
of your investment. You should also refer to the other information about us
contained in this Form 10-Q, including our financial statements and related
notes.
We
currently have no operating revenues or earnings from
operations.
We
currently have had no operating revenues or earnings from operations. We have
no
significant assets or financial resources. We have operated at a loss to date
and will, in all likelihood, continue to sustain operating expenses without
corresponding revenues, at least until the consummation of a business
combination.
Our
management does not devote its full time to our business and
operations.
Our
management only devotes minimal time to our business. Management does not have
any written employment agreement with us, and is not expected to enter into
one.
Our management serves only on a part−time basis and has had limited experience
in the business activities contemplated by us, yet our Company will be solely
dependent on him. We lack the funds or other incentive to hire full−time
experienced management. Management has other employment or business interests
to
which he devotes his primary attention and will continue to do so, devoting
time
to the Company only on an as−needed basis.
11
We
may have conflicts of interest with our management team.
Our
officers and directors may in the future be affiliated with other blank check
companies having a similar business plan to that of our Company (“Affiliated
Companies”) which may compete directly or indirectly with us. Certain specific
conflicts of interest may include those discussed below.
·
|
The
interests of any Affiliated Companies from time to time may be
inconsistent in some respects with the interests of the Company.
The
nature of these conflicts of interest may vary. There may be circumstances
in which an Affiliated Company may take advantage of an opportunity
that
might be suitable for the Company. Although there can be no assurance
that
conflicts of interest will not arise or that resolutions of any such
conflicts will be made in a manner most favorable to the Company
and its
shareholders, the officers and directors of the Company have a fiduciary
responsibility to the Company and its shareholders and, therefore,
must
adhere to a standard of good faith and integrity in their dealings
with
and for The Company and its
shareholders.
|
·
|
The
officers and directors of The Company may serve as officers and directors
of other Affiliated Companies in the future. The Company's officers
and
directors are required to devote only so much of their time to The
Company's affairs as they deem appropriate, in their sole discretion.
As a
result, The Company's officers and directors may have conflicts of
interest in allocating their management time, services, and functions
among The Company and any current and future Affiliated Companies
which
they may serve, as well as any other business ventures in which they
are
now or may later become involved.
|
·
|
The
Affiliated Companies may compete directly or indirectly with The
Company
for the acquisition of available, desirable combination candidates.
There
may be factors unique to The Company or an Affiliated Company which
respectively makes it more or less desirable to a potential combination
candidate, such as age of the company, name, capitalization, state
of
incorporation, contents of the articles of incorporation, etc. However,
any such direct conflicts are not expected to be resolved through
arm's-length negotiation, but rather in the discretion of management.
While any such resolution will be made with due regard to the fiduciary
duty owed to the Company and its shareholders, there can be no assurance
that all potential conflicts can be resolved in a manner most favorable to
the Company as if no conflicts existed. Members of the Company's
management who also are or will be members of management of another
Affiliated Company will also owe the same fiduciary duty to the
shareholders of each other Affiliated Company. Should a potential
acquisition be equally available to and desirable for both the Company
and
the Affiliated Companies, no guideline exists for determining which
company would make the acquisition. This poses a risk to the Company’s
shareholders that a desirable acquisition available to the Company
may be
made by an Affiliated Company, whose shareholders would instead reap
the
rewards of the acquisition. An Affiliated Company's shareholders
of course
face exactly the same risk. Any persons who are officers and directors
of
both The Company and an Affiliated Company do not have the sole power
(nor
the power through stock ownership) to determine which company would
acquire a particular acquisition. No time limit exists in which an
acquisition may or must be made by the Company, and there is no assurance
when − or if − an acquisition ever will be completed.
|
·
|
Certain
conflicts of interest exist and will continue to exist between the
Company
and its officers and directors due to the fact that each has other
employment or business interests to which he devotes his primary
attention. Each officer and director is expected to continue to do
so in
order to make a living, notwithstanding the fact that management
time
should be devoted to the Company's affairs. The Company has not
established policies or procedures for the resolution of current
or
potential conflicts of interest between the Company and its management.
As
a practical matter, such potential conflicts could be alleviated
only if
the Affiliated Companies either are not seeking a combination candidate
at
the same time as the Company, have already identified a combination
candidate, are seeking a combination candidate in a specifically
identified business area, or are seeking a combination candidate
that
would not otherwise meet the Company's selection criteria. It is
likely,
however, that the combination criteria of the Company and any Affiliated
Companies will be substantially identical. Ultimately, the Company's
shareholders ultimately must rely on the fiduciary responsibility
owed to
them by the Company's officers and directors. There can be no assurance
that members of management will resolve all conflicts of interest
in the
Company's favor. The officers and directors are accountable to the
Company
and its shareholders as fiduciaries, which means that they are legally
obligated to exercise good faith and integrity in handling the Company's
affairs and in their dealings with the Company. Failure by them to
conduct
the Company's business in its best interests may result in liability
to
them. The area of fiduciary responsibility is a rapidly developing
area of
law, and persons who have questions concerning the duties of the
officers
and directors to the Company should consult their
counsel.
|
12
Our
Certificate of Incorporation excludes personal liability on the part of its
directors to the Company for monetary damages based upon any violation of their
fiduciary duties as directors, except as to liability for any acts or omissions
which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law or
for
improper payment of dividends. This exclusion of liability does not limit any
right which a director may have to be indemnified and does not affect any
director's liability under federal or applicable state securities laws.
Therefore, our assets could be used or attached to satisfy any liabilities
subject to this indemnification.
Our
proposed operations are purely speculative.
The
success of our proposed plan of operation will depend to a great extent on
the
operations, financial condition and management of the identified target company.
While business combinations with entities having established operating histories
are preferred, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in locating
candidates meeting these criteria. If we complete a business combination, the
success of our operations will be dependent upon management of the target
company and numerous other factors beyond our control. No combination candidate
has been identified for acquisition by management, nor has any determination
been made as to any business for the Company to enter, and shareholders will
have no meaningful voice in any such determinations. There is no assurance
that
the Company will be successful in completing a combination or originating a
business, nor that the Company will be successful or that its shares will have
any value even if a combination is completed or a business originated.
We
are subject to the penny stock rules.
Our
securities may be classified as penny stock. The Securities and Exchange
Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny
stock," for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market
price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00
per share whose securities are admitted to quotation but do not trade on the
Nasdaq SmallCap Market or on a national securities exchange. For any transaction
involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require delivery of a document
to investors stating the risks, special suitability inquiry, regular reporting
and other requirements. Prices for penny stocks are often not available and
investors are often unable to sell this stock. Thus, an investor may lose his
investment in a penny stock and consequently should be cautious of any purchase
of penny stocks.
We
may have significant difficulty in locating a viable business combination
candidate.
We
are
and will continue to be an insignificant participant in the business of seeking
mergers with and acquisitions of business entities. A large number of
established and well-financed entities, including venture capital firms, are
active in mergers and acquisitions of companies which may be merger or
acquisition target candidates for us. Nearly all of these competitors have
significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial
capabilities than we do and, consequently, we will be at a competitive
disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully
completing a business combination. Moreover, we will also compete with numerous
other small public companies in seeking merger or acquisition
candidates.
It
is possible that the per share value of your stock will decrease upon the
consummation of a business combination.
A
business combination normally will involve the issuance of a significant number
of additional shares. Depending upon the value of the assets acquired in a
business combination, the current shareholders of the Company may experience
severe dilution of their ownership due to the issuance of shares in the
combination. Any combination effected by the Company almost certainly will
require its existing management and board members to resign, thus shareholders
have no way of knowing what persons ultimately will direct the Company and
may
not have an effective voice in their selection.
Any
business combination that we engage in may have tax effects on
us.
Federal
and state tax consequences will, in all likelihood, be major considerations
in
any business combination that we may undertake. Currently, a business
combination may be structured so as to result in tax-free treatment to both
companies pursuant to various federal and state tax provisions. We intend to
structure any business combination so as to minimize the federal and state
tax
consequences to both us and the target company; however, there can be no
assurance that a business combination will meet the statutory requirements
of a
tax-free reorganization or that the parties will obtain the intended tax-free
treatment upon a transfer of stock or assets. A non-qualifying reorganization
could result in the imposition of both federal and state taxes which may have
an
adverse effect on both parties to the transaction.

ITEM
3A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under
the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an
evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined
under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), as of September 30, 2008.
Based
on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective
to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we
file
or submit 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 and that our disclosure and controls are designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that
we
file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
were no changes (including corrective actions with regard to significant
deficiencies or material weaknesses) in our internal controls over financial
reporting that occurred during the third quarter of fiscal 2008 that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.
