Forward-Looking Statements
This Report on Form 10-K contains statements that plan for or anticipate the future. Forward-looking statements include statements about our future business plans and strategies, and most other statements that are not historical in nature. In this report, forward-looking statements are generally identified by the words “anticipate,” “plan,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” and the like. Because forward-looking statements involve future risks and uncertainties, there are factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied. For example, a few of the uncertainties that could affect the accuracy of forward-looking statements include:
·
Changes in general economic and business conditions affecting our Company;
·
Legal or policy developments that diminish the appeal of our Company; and
·
Changes in our business strategies.
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which provides a “safe harbor” for similar statements by existing public companies, does not apply to our Company.
Our Business Development
During the period covered by this report, Big Sky Industries IV, Inc. (the “Company”) conducted no business operations and generated no revenue.
Our Company was initially organized as a “shell” company, with plans to seek business partners or acquisition candidates; however, due to capital constraints, we were unable to continue with our business plan. In September 2003, we ultimately ceased our business activities and became dormant, whereby we incurred only minimal administrative expenses. We re-established our business plan in December 2008 and our management is devoting most of its efforts to general business planning, raising capital, and developing business opportunities.
Presently, our Company conducts no business operations. We are in the process of bringing our Company’s periodic and other filings current with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Our Business
We intend to serve as a corporate vehicle that will seek to effect a merger, exchange of capital stock, asset acquisition or other similar business combination (a “Business Combination”) with an operating or development stage business (“Target Business”) that desires to employ our Company to become a publicly traded corporation that reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”). Essentially, other than described herein, we do not engage in any substantive commercial business or other business operations. We face special risks inherent in the investigation, acquisition, or involvement in a new business opportunity. We are in our development stage.
Our present officer and director is our only employee, and he devotes a minimal amount of his time to our business. We have no full time employees. We expect to use consultants, attorneys and accountants as necessary, and do not anticipate a need to engage any full-time employees while we are seeking and evaluating Target Businesses. Our need for employees and their availability will be addressed in connection with the decision whether or not to consummate a specific Business Combination.
We intend to seek potential business opportunities and effectuate a Business Combination with a Target Business with significant growth potential that, in the opinion of management, could provide a profit to our Company and our stockholders. We may effect a Business Combination with a Target Business that may be financially unstable or in its early stages of development or growth. We will not restrict our search to any specific business, industry or geographical location, and we may participate in a business venture of virtually any kind or nature. Our present affiliates may become involved in the management of the Target Business and/or may hire qualified but as yet unidentified individuals to manage such Target Business. Presently, we have no plan, proposal, agreement, understanding or arrangement to effect a Business Combination with any Target Business, and we have not identified any specific business or company for investigation and evaluation.
We encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience in connection with identifying and effecting Business Combinations directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess greater financial, marketing, technical, personnel and other resources than we do and we cannot assure you that we will have the ability to compete successfully. Our financial resources are limited in comparison to those of many of our competitors. This inherent competitive limitation could compel us to select certain less attractive acquisition prospects. We cannot assure you that such prospects will permit us to meet our stated business objectives. Our limited funds and lack of full-time management will likely make it impracticable to conduct a complete and exhaustive investigation and analysis of a Target Business before we commit our resources thereto.
We cannot presently ascertain with any degree of certainty the time and costs required to select and evaluate a Target Business (including conducting a due diligence review) and to structure and complete a Business Combination (including negotiating relevant agreements and preparing requisite documents for filing pursuant to applicable securities laws and state “blue sky” and corporation laws).
Until we raise sufficient capital and/or complete a Business Combination, our Company does not expect to meet its current capital requirements for the next twelve months; and we cannot assure you that even if we raise sufficient capital and complete a Business Combination, that we will ever meet any of our capital requirements.
Our Company must generate additional resources to enable us to pay our obligations as they come due, and our Company must ultimately implement a new business plan and achieve profitable operations. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in any of these activities. Should any of these events not occur, our financial condition will be materially adversely affected. If our Company remains dormant, we will need to raise additional capital to meet our current capital requirements for the next twelve months.
If we consummate a Business Combination with a Target Business which operates in an industry which is regulated or licensed by federal, state or local authorities, compliance with such regulations could be a time-consuming and expensive process.
Employees
Our present officer and director is our only employee, and he devotes minimal time to our business. We have no full-time employees. We expect to use consultant, attorneys and accountants as necessary, and do not anticipate a need to engage any full-time employees while we are seeking and evaluating Target Businesses.
Facilities
Presently, our executive and business office is located at 7557 West Sand Lake Road, Suite 153, Orlando, Florida 32819. We believe this office space is adequate to serve our present needs.
Government Regulations
During the period covered by this report, our business was not subject to direct regulation by any domestic or foreign governmental agency, other than regulations generally applicable to businesses, and we believe that we have complied with these laws and regulations in all material respects.
Item 1A.
Item 1A.
Risk Factors
The purchase of shares of capital stock of our Company involves many risks. A prospective investor should carefully consider the following risk factors before making a decision to purchase any such shares:
We have a limited operating history and a history of losses.
Our Company has no current operations and, as such, may not be able to overcome unanticipated difficulties that may be encountered related to the implementation of its business plan. Our Company has a limited operating history, limited revenue from operations and a history of losses. In addition, because our Company currently has no operations, our Company faces all of the risks inherent with a start-up business, including the possibility that our Company cannot complete a Business Combination with a Target Business that is viable. We cannot assure you that if our Company identifies and completes a Business Combination with a Target Business that such business will ever be profitable. Our Company may also face unforeseen problems, difficulties, expenses or delays in implementing its business plan.
We need to obtain additional funds to continue with our business.
We need to obtain additional funds to continue with our business to fund general and administrative expenses and periodic reporting requirements, and we cannot assure you that such funds will be available, or will be available on favorable terms. Failure to secure needed funds will directly impact our Company’s ability to maintain its reporting status, and potentially, the corporate entity itself. While management has dedicated itself to the efforts to secure needed funds, the outcome and ultimate success of those efforts is uncertain.
Investing in our stock is highly speculative and an investor could lose some or the entire amount invested.
Our business plan is highly speculative and, therefore, an investor in our common stock may lose his or her entire investment. The value of our common stock may decline and may be affected by numerous market conditions, which could result in the loss of some or the entire amount invested in our common stock. The securities markets frequently experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that affect market prices for securities of companies in general, and very small capitalization companies in particular.
The cost of maintaining our reporting obligations is high compared to our available cash.
Our Company is obligated to maintain its periodic public filings and public reporting requirements, on a timely basis, to remain current as a public company. In order to meet these obligations, our Company will need to continue to raise capital. If adequate funds are not available to our Company, it will be unable to comply with those requirements. Our Company has a history of delinquencies in its filing obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Our stockholders face potential dilution in any new financing.
Any additional equity that our Company raises would dilute the interest of the current stockholders and any persons who may become stockholders before such financing. Such dilution in any financing of a meaningful amount could be substantial.
If we complete a Business Combination with a Target Business, we will be dependent upon market acceptance and competitive factors.
The success of any Target Business we complete a Business Combination with will be highly dependent upon, among other things, gaining market acceptance from customers that will use our Target Business’ products and services. More specifically, these factors include, among other things, how well its products or services perform (ease of implementation, ease of use by customers, reliability, and scope of products and services), competitive forces, the level of consumer demand for products and services offered, the selling prices of its products and services, and the effectiveness of our marketing activities.
Our Manager Controls Our Company’s Affairs and Operations and We have No Disinterested Members of our Board of Directors.
Our management owns in excess of 95% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. Our Company’s articles of incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting for the election of directors. Consequently, even if additional shares of our common stock are issued, so long as management continues to own in excess of 50% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, management can elect all of our directors, appoint officers and otherwise control our affairs and operations. Further, our board of directors currently has no formal committees, such as a compensation committee or an audit committee, and most likely will not form such committees until some time after the consummation of a Business Combination.
Potential Securities Sales by Affiliate Shareholders.
Mr. Chimelis may actively negotiate or otherwise consent to the purchase of a portion of his Common Stock as a condition to, or in connection with, a Business Combination. In this process, Mr. Chimelis may consider his own personal pecuniary benefit rather than the best interests of our other shareholders, if any, and the other Company shareholders are expected to be afforded the opportunity to approve or consent to any particular stock buy-out transaction.
No Public Trading Market for Our Company’s Securities exists and We Cannot Assure You That a Public Trading Market Will Develop.
No public trading market for our Common Stock exists. We cannot assure you that a regular trading market will develop for the shares of our Common Stock or that, if developed, any such market will be sustained. Trading of our Common Stock will likely be conducted through what is customarily known as the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board. Any market for our Common Stock which may result
will likely be less well developed than if the Common Stock were traded on the NASDAQ or an exchange.
Rules related to low-priced equity securities may make it harder for you to sell our common stock.
Our Company’s securities, if and when available for trading, will likely be subject to the SEC’s rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks”. These rules regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Penny stocks are defined by law generally as equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 per share (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules place additional responsibilities on broker-dealers effecting transaction in such securities. These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary markets for a stock that is subject to the penny stock rules.
Our Company is delinquent in its SEC filings.
While our Company and its management seek to operate fully within the scope of the law and fulfill any and all regulatory obligations, our Company is delinquent in its filing of periodic reports with the SEC and the staff of the SEC may recommend enforcement proceedings be commenced against our Company.
Rule 144 May Not Be Available To You When and If You Decide To Sell Securities of our Company
Our Company is a shell company and you will not be eligible to utilize Rule 144 for the resale of your shares of common stock until one year after we file “Form 10 information” with the SEC reflecting our status as an entity that is no longer a shell company, but, only for so long as we have been current with the filing of all of our periodic reports with the SEC and remain current with such filings. In the event this does not occur, you will not be able to resell your securities pursuant to Rule 144. If there is no other exemption available to you at the time, you will not be able to resell your securities and recoup your investment unless and until our Company has remedied its periodic filing obligations with the SEC. There can be no assurance that our Company will remedy such deficiency.
Any Returns on Investment May Be Limited to the Value of our Company’s Common Stock
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant. Our Company’s common stock may be less valuable because a return on investment will only occur if its stock price appreciates

Market Information
No public trading market presently exists for our Common Stock, and we cannot assure you that a trading market for our Common Stock will ever develop.
Penny Stock Regulations and Restrictions on Marketability. The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the
receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling our securities.
Additionally, you should be aware that Rule 144 promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by a shell company, such as our Company, or an issuer that has been at any time previously a shell company unless the issuer: (i) has ceased to be a shell company; (ii) is subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; (iii) has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and (iv) has filed current “Form 10 information” with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is no longer a shell company. Thereafter, such securities may be sold subject to the requirements of Rule 144 after one year has elapsed from the date that the issuer filed “Form 10 information” with the SEC.

Holders
During the period covered by this report, approximately 2 holders of record held our Common Stock.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Introduction
The following discussion “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contains forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “will,” “could,” “may” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Should one or more risks or
uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially and adversely from those anticipated, believed, expected, planned, intended, estimated, projected or otherwise indicated. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which we have made as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The following is qualified by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements (“Financial Statements”), and the notes thereto, included elsewhere in this Form 10-K, as well as the discussion hereunder “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
During the period covered by this report, Big Sky Industries IV, Inc. (the “Company”) conducted no business operations and generated no revenue.
Our Company was initially organized as a “shell” company, with plans to seek business partners or acquisition candidates; however, due to capital constraints, we were unable to continue with our business plan. In September 2003, we ultimately ceased our business activities and became dormant, whereby we incurred only minimal administrative expenses. We re-established our business plan in December 2008 and our management is devoting most of its efforts to general business planning, raising capital, and developing business opportunities.
Our Company is presently a development stage company that conducts virtually no business operations, other than investigating opportunities to effect a merger, exchange of capital stock, asset acquisition, or other similar business combination (a “Business Combination”) with an operating or development stage business (“Target Business”), which desires to employ the Company to become a reporting corporation under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. To date, we have not engaged in any operations, nor have we generated any revenue.
We do not have cash in the bank or other material assets, nor do we have an established source of revenue needed to cover the costs of normal operations, which would allow us to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements have been prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our ability to meet those obligations and continue as a going concern is dependent upon us raising new capital through advances from current shareholders and issuing equity securities to complete a Business Combination with a Target Business. If it becomes necessary for us to raise additional funds to support normal operations during the next twelve months, our principal shareholder and founder, Ramon Chimelis, will advance funds as needed. If we need to raise funds beyond funds needed for normal operations, we may choose to sell additional common stock, especially if we enter into an agreement to effectuate a Business Combination with a Target Business.
Since inception, we have received a cash infusion of $1,187. With the exception of certain other professional fees and costs related to a Business Combination, we expect that we will incur minimal operating costs and, as indicated above, our principal shareholder and founder will advance funds, as needed, to meet our cash requirements during the next twelve months. It is likely, however, that a Business Combination might not occur during the next twelve months; and in the event that our principal shareholder does not advance adequate funds to support normal operations prior to completing a Business Combination with a Target Business, we may cease operations and a Business Combination may not occur.
To date, we have not yet identified a Business Combination opportunity; therefore, we are unable to predict our cash requirements subsequent to a Business Combination with an unidentified Target Business. As indicated above, we may be required to raise capital through the sale of or issuance of additional securities, in order to ensure that we can meet our operating costs for the remainder of our
fiscal year, if we complete a Business Combination with a Target Business. In the event that we elect to raise additional capital by selling common stock, prior to, or in connection with, completing a Business Combination, we expect to do so through the private placement of restricted securities.
There are no agreements or understandings of any kind with respect to any loans from officers or directors of the Company on behalf of the Company, other than that describe above.
Since our cash reserves have been minimal since inception, we have not compensated our officers or directors; in the near term, we may compensate them for their services by issuing them stock in lieu of cash. Presently, there are no arrangements or anticipated arrangements to pay any type of additional compensation to any officer or director. Regardless, of whether our cash assets prove to be inadequate to meet our operational needs, we might seek to compensate providers of services by the issuance of stock in lieu of cash.

Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the date this report is filed, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and financial officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. During that period, our Company experienced significant capital constraints, and we ultimately ceased our business activities and became dormant. During the period covered by this report, our Company was unable to comply with its Exchange Act reporting because no accounting work was completed, no financial statements were prepared, and no audits were obtained. The evaluation revealed to the Company’s principal executive officer and financial officer that, as a result of those circumstances, the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report, and that the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures remain ineffective as of the date of this report.
Management’s Annual Report on 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). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
Our management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the last day of the period covered by this report. In making this assessment, our management considered the lack of operations and revenue, the limited cash on hand, the limited transactions which occur on a monthly basis, and the fact that because we have only one officer and director, the Company is not able to segregate duties. Based on this evaluation, our management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and financial officer, concluded that, as of the last day of the period covered by this report, the Company’s internal controls have an inherent weakness which may increase the risks of errors in financial reporting under current operations.
Until we complete a Business Combination with a Target Business, our Company does not expect to be able to make significant changes in the Company’s internal controls and in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of the above-described evaluation period. However, once we complete a Business Combination with a Target Business, our Company expects to adopt an independent audit committee, commit funds for legal and accounting work and the preparation of financial statements and audits, all of which should enable our Company’s principal executive officers and financial officers to maintain our Company as current pursuant to the Exchange Act and provide our Company with an effective design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures. We cannot assure you, however, that our acquiring a Target Business will guarantee that we will be able to maintain our Company as current pursuant to the Exchange Act and provide our Company with an effective design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting.

Directors and Executive Officers and Corporate Governance
Identity of directors and executive officers during the period covered by this report
The following table sets forth the full name, principal occupation or employment, five-year employment history and certain other information concerning the Company’s directors and executive officers during the period covered by this report.
Business experience of directors and executive officers
Mr. Chimelis has served as our director, president, treasurer, and secretary since our inception in January 2000. Additionally, Mr. Chimelis is an officer and director of eight other Blank Check companies with the same business plan as the Company. Since June 2003, Mr. Chimelis has been self-employed, engaged in day trading. Form January 2000 to June 2003, he was a shareholder, officer and director of Design Pallets, Inc., a manufacturer of corrugated pallets, located in Orlando, Florida. From 1999 to January 2000, Mr. Chimelis was engaged in day trading through Gunslinger Group, Inc., a privately held investing firm. From 1998 to 1999 he served as a trader at the broker-dealer firm of JOQ Financial, Inc., and from 1995 to 1998, he was a stock broker at Collner Higgins and Higgins and Anderson. Mr. Chimelis studied business finance at Brevard Community College from 1984 to 1989. Mr. Chimelis filed a Voluntary Petition Notice of Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in the Middle District of Florida on February 28, 2002. On the same day the Court granted Mr. Chimelis’ petition of Debtor in Possession. On September 26, 2003 the Middle District of Florida dismissed the case without prejudice after all conditions were satisfied.
Other Blank Check Activities
Mr. Chimelis holds identical positions, as an officer, director, and shareholder, for a total of nine Blank Check companies (including the Company). Mr. Chimelis holds an identical 1,000,000 common stock share position (95.23% of the outstanding shares ) in each company (including the Company), which are identified as Big Sky Industries II, Inc., Big Sky Industries III, Inc., Big Sky Industries IV, Inc., Big Sky Industries V, Inc., Big Sky Industries VI, Inc., Big Sky Industries VII, Inc., Big Sky Industries VIII, Inc., Big Sky Industries IX, Inc., and Big Sky Industries X, Inc. Mr. Chimelis devotes minimal time to each of these companies (including the Company).
Audit Committee
During the period covered by this report, the Company did not have a separately designated standing audit committee in place; instead, the Company’s entire board of directors served in that capacity. This was due to the small number of directors and executive officers involved with the Company.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
To the best of our knowledge, no officer, director and/or beneficial owner of more than 10% of our Common Stock, failed to file reports as required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during the period covered by this report.
Code of Ethics
During the period covered by this report, the Company did not have a code of ethics for its principal executive officer, principal financial officer or any other position due to the small number of executive officers involved with the Company.

FOR YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AND 2004
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Big Sky Industries IV, Inc.
Orlando, Florida 32819
I have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Big Sky Industries IV, Inc. (“the Company”), a development stage company, as of September 30, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company=s management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I 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. I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Big Sky Industries IV, Inc. as of September 30, 2005 and 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has a continuing record of losses, a working capital deficiency, and negative stockholders’ equity which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AND 2004
NOTE 1-- BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY
Business Activity and Organization
The Company was incorporated in Florida on January 31, 2000. The Company was organized as a "shell" company and conducts virtually no business operation, other than investigating opportunities to effect a merger, exchange of capital stock, asset acquisition, or other similar business combinations with an operating or development stage business, which desires to employ the Company to become a reporting corporation under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. To date, we have not engaged in any operations, nor have we generated any revenue. The Company is a development stage enterprise, as defined by Financial Accounting Standards, ("SFAS") No 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.”
Basis of Presentation and Going Concern Uncertainty
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. However, since inception the Company has incurred losses from operations of approximately $7,000. As a result, the Company has a negative working capital and a negative stockholders’ equity. The losses from operations are primarily attributable to the overhead expenses deemed necessary to support the Company’s operations during the development stage. In light of the Company’s current financial position and the uncertainty of its ability to consummate a business Combination, which would involve the acquisition, a merger, exchange of capital stock, asset acquisition, or other similar business combination with an operating or development stage business, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company anticipates meeting its cash requirements through the financial support of its management and stockholders until it completes an acquisition or merger with a company
NOTE 2--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of operating expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Flows
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash includes demand deposits and time deposits with maturities of less than three months. None of the Company’s cash is restricted.

(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AND 2004
Cash and Cash flows (continued)
The Company has not maintained any cash accounts which exceed federally insured limits. Management believes that the Company does not have significant credit risk related to its cash accounts.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In accordance with the reporting requirements of SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” the Company calculates the fair value of its assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under this statement and includes this additional information in the notes to the financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments. At September 30, 2005, the Company did not have any financial instruments.
Income Taxes
The company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (SFAS No. 109) for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.
The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before provision for income taxes because of differences in amounts deductible for tax purposes. Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
Stock Based Compensation
Effective September 30, 2005, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123R, Share-Based Payment, using the modified prospective method. This statement requires the Company to recognize compensation cost based on the grant date fair value of options granted to employees and directors.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AND 2004
Earnings Per Common Share
The Company follows the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128 "Earnings Per Share." SFAS No. 128 requires companies to present basic earnings per share ("EPS") and diluted EPS, rather than the primary and fully diluted EPS presentations that were formerly required by Accounting Principles Board No. 15,"Earnings Per Share." Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is calculated using the "if converted" method for convertible securities and the treasury stock method for options and warrants as previously prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15, "Earnings Per Share."
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
None of the following new pronouncements has current application to the Company, but will be implemented in the Company’s future financial reporting when applicable.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48).” FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum probability threshold that a tax position must meet before a financial statement benefit is recognized. The minimum threshold is defined in FIN 48 as a tax position that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 must be applied to all existing tax positions upon initial adoption. The cumulative effect of applying FIN 48 at adoption, if any, is to be reported as an adjustment to opening retained earnings for the year of adoption. FIN 48 is effective for the Company's year end 2007, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing the potential effect of FIN 48 on its financial statements.
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments.” This Statement amends FASB Statements No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” This Statement resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. “Dl, Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.” This Statement:
a)
Permits fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation.
b)
Clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of Statement 133.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
c)
Establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation.
d)
Clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives.
e)
Amends Statement 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument.
The fair value election provided for in paragraph 4(e) of this Statement may also be applied upon adoption of this Statement for hybrid financial instruments that had been bifurcated under paragraph 12 of Statement 133 prior to the adoption of this Statement. Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of our fiscal year, provided we have not yet issued financial statements, including financial statements for any interim period, for that fiscal year. Provisions of this Statement may be applied to instruments that we hold at the date of adoption on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
Adoption of this Statement is required as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2005. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the company’s financial statements.
In March 2006, The FASB issued SFAS 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets.” This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement:
a)
Requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in certain situations.
b)
Requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable.
c)
Permits an entity to choose either the amortization method or the fair value measurement method for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities.
d)
At its initial adoption, permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights, without calling into question the treatment of other available-for-sale securities under Statement 115, provided that the available-for-sale securities are identified in some manner as offsetting the entity’s exposure to changes in fair value of servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently measure at fair value.

e)
Requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities.
Adoption of this Statement is required as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the company’s financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurement. The implementation of this guidance is not expected to have any impact on the company’s financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of PASS Statements No. 87, 106, and 132(R)” (SFAS No. 158). SFAS No. 158 requires companies to recognize a net liability or asset and an offsetting adjustment to accumulate other comprehensive income to report the funded status of defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans. SFAS No. 158 requires prospective application, recognition and disclosure requirements effective for the company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2007. Additionally, SFAS No. 158 requires companies to measure plan assets and obligations at their year-end balance sheet date. This requirement is effective for the company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. The company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 258 and does not expect that it will have a material impact on its financial statements.
In September 2006, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted SAB No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” This SAB provides guidance on the consideration of the effects to prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB 108 establishes an approach that requires quantification of financial statement errors based on the effects of each of the company’s balance sheet and statement of operations financial statements and the related financial statement disclosures. The SAB permits existing public companies to record the cumulative effect of initially applying this approach in the first year ending after November 15, 2006 by recording the necessary correcting adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of that year with the offsetting adjustment recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings. Additionally, the use of the cumulative effect transition method requires detailed disclosure of the nature and amount of each individual error being corrected through the cumulative adjustment and how and when it arose. The company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that SAB 108 may have on the company’s results of operations or financial position.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 110 regarding the use of a “simplified” method, as discussed in SAB No. 107 (SAB 107), in developing an estimate of expected term of “plain vanilla” share options in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (R), Share-Based Payment. In particular, the staff indicated in SAB 107 that it will accept a company’s election to use the simplified method, regardless of whether the company has sufficient information to make more refined estimates of expected term. At the time SAB 107 was issued, the staff believed that more detailed external information about employee exercise behavior (e.g., employee exercise patterns by industry and/or other categories of companies) would, over time, become readily available to companies. Therefore, the staff stated in SAB 107 that it would not expect a company to use the simplified method for share option grants after December 31, 2007. The staff understands that such detailed information about employee exercise behavior may not be widely available by December 31, 2007. Accordingly, the staff will continue to accept, under certain circumstances, the use of the simplified method beyond December 31, 2007. The Company will assess the impact of SAB 110 for fiscal year ending September 30, 2009. It is not believed that this will have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51.” This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Before this statement was issued, limited guidance existed for reporting noncontrolling interests. As a result, considerable diversity in practice existed. So-called minority interests were reported in the consolidated statement of financial position as liabilities or in the mezzanine section between liabilities and equity. This statement improves comparability by eliminating that diversity. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (that is, January 1, 2009, for entities with calendar year-ends). Earlier adoption is prohibited. The effective date of this statement is the same as that of the related Statement 141 (revised 2007). It is not believed that this will have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB, issued FAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations. This Statement replaces FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations, but retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141. This Statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: (a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; (b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and (c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. An entity may not apply it before that date. The effective date of this statement is the same as that of the related FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. It is not believed that this will have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AND 2004
Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” This standard requires companies to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company has not yet adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 161, but does not expect it to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS No. 162 sets forth the level of authority to a given accounting pronouncement or document by category. Where there might be conflicting guidance between two categories, the more authoritative category will prevail. SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days after the SEC approves the PCAOB’s amendments to AU Section 411 of the AICPA Professional Standards. SFAS No. 162 has no effect on the Company’s financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this time.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). FSP EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting, and therefore need to be included in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class method as described in FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and earlier adoption is prohibited. We are not required to adopt FSP EITF 03-6-1; neither do we believe that FSP EITF 03-6-1 would have material effect on our financial position and results of operations if adopted.
NOTE 3-INCOME TAXES
The Company employs the asset and liability method in accounting for income taxes pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating loss carryforwards, and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are reversed.
From January 31, 2000 (Inception) through September 2005, the Company generated net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $7,000, which begin to expire in 2020. If, however, there is an ownership change in the Company, Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code may restrict its ability to utilize these operating loss carryforwards to a percentage of the market value of the Company at the time of the ownership change. Therefore, these operating loss carryforwards could, in all likely-hood, be limited or eliminated in future years due to a change in ownership as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. In management’s opinion, the entire tax benefit of approximately $2,400, resulting from the net operating loss carryforwards may not be recognized in future years. Therefore, a valuation allowance of $2,400, equal to the deferred tax benefit, has been established, resulting in no deferred tax benefits as of the balance sheet date.

NOTE 4--LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Net loss per common share outstanding for the years ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, as shown on the Statement of Operations and Accumulated Deficit During The Development Stage, is based on the number of common shares outstanding at the balance sheet date. Weighted average shares outstanding was not computed since it would not be meaningful in the circumstances, as all shares issued during the period from incorporation through September 30, 2005 were for initial capital and were issued to just two individuals. Therefore, the total shares outstanding at the end of the periods were deemed to be the most relevant number of shares to use for purposes of this disclosure. For the years ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, basic and diluted weighted average common shares include only common shares outstanding, since there were no common share equivalents.
NOTE 5--CAPITAL STOCK
Common Stock
The holders of the common stock are entitled to one vote per share; they have non-cumulative voting rights. The holders are also entitled to receive dividends when, as, and if declared by the board of directors. Additionally, the holders of the common stock do not have any preemptive right to subscribe for, or purchase any shares of any class of stock.
In January 2000, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock at par value per share, for a total of $1,000. A stock subscription receivable was recorded at the date of issuance for the same amount, which was paid in June 2000.
Preferred Stock
The board of directors of the Company is authorized to provide for the issuance of preferred stock in classes or series, and, by filing the appropriate articles of amendment with the Secretary of State of Florida, is authorized to establish the number of shares to be included in each class or series, which may include a conversion feature into common stock. As of September 30, 2005, no shares of preferred stock have been issued and no preferences, limitations, or relative rights have been assigned.
NOTE 6--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
In January 2000, the Company issued 50,000 shares valued at $50 as consideration for services rendered by one of the two founding stockholders of the Company for the formation of the Company.
