Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

March 31, 2011

NOTE 1 – Condensed Financial Statements

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the period ended March 31, 2011 and for all periods presented have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s December 31, 2010 audited financial statements as reported in its Form 10-K.  The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ended December 31, 2011.

NOTE 2 – Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company has current liabilities in excess of current assets, has incurred losses since inception, has negative cash flows from operations, and has no revenue-generating activities.  Its activities have been limited for the past several years and it is dependent upon financing to continue operations.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.  It is management’s plan to acquire or merge with other operating companies.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) encourages reporting companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand future prospects and make informed investment decisions.  This report contains these types of statements.  Words such as “may,” “expect,” “intend,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” or “continue” or comparable terminology used in connection with any discussion of future operating results or financial performance identify forward-looking statements.  You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report.  All forward-looking statements reflect our present expectation of future events and are subject to a number of important factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Executive Overview

We are a development stage company that has not recorded revenues for the past two fiscal years.  At March 31, 2011 we had $3,525 in cash and total liabilities of $73,715.  We are dependent upon financing to continue basic operations.  Management intends to rely upon advances or loans from management, significant stockholders or third parties to meet our cash requirements, but we have not entered into written agreements guaranteeing funds and, therefore, no one is obligated to provide funds to us in the future.  These factors raise doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.  Our plan is to combine with an operating company to generate revenue.  

As of the date of this report, our management has not had any discussions with any representative of any other entity regarding a business combination with us.  Any target business that is selected may be a financially unstable company or an entity in its early stages of development or growth, including entities without established records of sales or earnings.  In that event, we will be subject to numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of financially unstable and early stage or potential emerging growth companies.  In addition, we may effect a business combination with an entity in an industry characterized by a high level of risk, and, although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, there can be no assurance that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risks.

We anticipate that the selection of a business opportunity will be complex and extremely risky.  Because of general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some industries and shortages of available capital, our management believes that there are numerous firms seeking the perceived benefits of becoming a publicly traded corporation.  Such perceived benefits of becoming a publicly traded corporation include, among other things, facilitating or improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be obtained, providing liquidity for the principals of and investors in a business, creating a means for providing incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, and offering greater flexibility in structuring acquisitions, joint ventures and the like through the issuance of securities.  Potentially available business combinations may occur in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex.

Management anticipates that the struggling global economy will restrict the number of business opportunities available to us and will restrict the cash available for such transactions.  There can be no assurance in the current economy that we will be able to acquire an interest in an operating company.

---

If we obtain a business opportunity, then it may be necessary to raise additional capital.  We anticipate that we will sell our common stock to raise this additional capital.  We expect that we would issue such stock pursuant to exemptions to the registration requirements provided by federal and state securities laws.  The purchasers and manner of issuance will be determined according to our financial needs and the available exemptions to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933.  We do not currently intend to make a public offering of our stock.  We also note that if we issue more shares of our common stock, then our stockholders may experience dilution in the value per share of their common stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have not recorded revenues from operations since inception.  We have not established an ongoing source of revenue sufficient to cover our operating costs.  We have relied upon advances of $5,000 from third parties during the first quarter of 2011 to finance our operations.  We intend to obtain capital from management, significant stockholders and/or third parties to cover minimal operations; however, there is no assurance that additional funding will be available.  Our ability to continue as a going concern during the long term is dependent upon our ability to find a suitable business opportunity and acquire or enter into a merger with such company.  The type of business opportunity with which we acquire or merge will affect our profitability for the long term.  

During the next 12 months we anticipate incurring additional costs related to the filing of Exchange Act reports.  We believe we will be able to meet these costs through funds provided by management, significant stockholders and/or third parties.  We may also rely on the issuance of our common stock in lieu of cash to convert debt or pay for expenses or services.   

Results of Operations

During the 2011 and 2010 first quarters we had no revenues.  General and administrative expense decreased from $3,276 for the 2010 first quarter to $2,793 for the 2011 first quarter.  We recorded interest expense of $1,445 in the 2011 first quarter due to the conversion of a portion of our current liabilities to loans.

Commitments

At December 31, 2010 the Company recorded $66,995 in current liabilities for services received, as well as cash advances received from unrelated parties.  Management intended to issue common stock to convert the amount owed to these third parties; however, it was subsequently determined that it was not in the best interests of all parties to issue stock for the advances and, therefore, the parties have agreed that these liabilities will be treated as loans effective January 1, 2011.  The loans are non-collateralized, carry interest at 8% and are due on demand.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources and would be considered material to investors.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange

Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC.  This information is accumulated to allow our management to make timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Our President, who serves as our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, is responsible to evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.  During the period we did not have additional personnel to allow segregation of duties to ensure the completeness or accuracy of our information.  Accordingly, our President has concluded that the lack of an adequate control environment constituted a deficiency in our disclosure controls and procedures.

Changes to Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act).  Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and determined that there were no changes made in our internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter of our 2011 fiscal year that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
