MARKETING ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2007 and 2006
NOTE A - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Marketing Acquisition Corporation (Company) was originally incorporated on July
26, 1990 in accordance with the Laws of the State of Florida as Marketing
Educational Corporation. The Company changed it's corporate name to Marketing
Acquisition Corporation on February 28, 2006.
On June 13, 2006, the Company changed its state of incorporation from Florida to
Nevada by means of a merger with and into a Nevada corporation formed on June 8,
2006 solely for the purpose of effecting the reincorporation. The Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws of the Nevada corporation are the Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws of the surviving corporation. Such Articles of
Incorporation kept the Company's new name of Marketing Acquisition Corporation
and modified the Company's capital structure to allow for the issuance of up to
100,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock and up to 50,000,000 shares
of $0.001 par value preferred stock.
The Company was originally formed for the purpose of direct marketing of certain
educational materials and photography packages. The educational materials
marketed by the Company consisted of encyclopedias, learning books, educational
audio and video tapes which were designed to be combined in various combinations
to accommodate the educational levels and needs of families with children of all
ages. During the year ended December 31, 1992, the Company sold or otherwise
disposed of all assets and operations in order to settle then-outstanding
indebtedness.
Since December 31, 1992, the Company has had no operations, significant assets
or liabilities.
The Company's current business plan is to locate and combine with an existing,
privately-held company which is profitable or, in management's view, has growth
potential, irrespective of the industry in which it is engaged. However, the
Company does not intend to combine with a private company which may be deemed to
be an investment company subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940. A
combination may be structured as a merger, consolidation, exchange of the
Company's common stock for stock or assets or any other form which will result
in the combined enterprise's becoming a publicly-held corporation.
NOTE B - PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company follows the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and has
a year-end of December 31.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America 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.
Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound
accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal
accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company's system of
internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that 1)
recorded transactions are valid; 2) valid transactions are recorded; and 3)
transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to produce
financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods being
presented
6
MARKETING ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
September 30, 2007 and 2006
NOTE B - PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
During interim periods, the Company follows the accounting policies set forth in
its annual audited financial statements filed with the U. S. Securities and
Exchange Commission on its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 2006. The information presented within these interim financial
statements may not include all disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles and the users of financial information provided for
interim periods should refer to the annual financial information and footnotes
when reviewing the interim financial results presented herein.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim financial statements,
prepared in accordance with the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission's
instructions for Form 10-QSB, are unaudited and contain all material
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to
present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of
the Company for the respective interim periods presented. The current period
results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results which ultimately
will be reported for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2007.
NOTE C - GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTY
The Company was originally formed for the purpose of direct marketing of certain
educational materials and photography packages. This venture was unsuccessful
and all business operations were abandoned by December 31, 1992. Since December
31, 1992, the Company has had no operations, assets or liabilities. The
Company's current principal business activity is to seek a suitable reverse
acquisition candidate through acquisition, merger or other suitable business
combination method.
The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to generate
sufficient cash flows from operations to support its daily operations as well as
provide sufficient resources to retire existing liabilities and obligations on a
timely basis.
The Company anticipates future sales of equity securities to facilitate either
the consummation of a business combination transaction or to raise working
capital to support and preserve the integrity of the corporate entity. However,
there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funding
through the sales of additional equity securities or, that such funding, if
available, will be obtained on terms favorable to or affordable by the Company.
If no additional operating capital is received during the next twelve months,
the Company will be forced to rely on existing cash in the bank and upon
additional funds loaned by management and/or significant stockholders to
preserve the integrity of the corporate entity at this time. In the event, the
Company is unable to acquire advances from management and/or significant
stockholders, the Company's ongoing operations would be negatively impacted.
It is the intent of management and significant stockholders to provide
sufficient working capital necessary to support and preserve the integrity of
the corporate entity. However, no formal commitments or arrangements to advance
or loan funds to the Company or repay any such advances or loans exist. There is
no legal obligation for either management or significant stockholders to provide
additional future funding.
While the Company is of the opinion that good faith estimates of the Company's
ability to secure additional capital in the future to reach our goals have been
made, there is no guarantee that the Company will receive sufficient funding to
sustain operations or implement any future business plan steps.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
September 30, 2007 and 2006
NOTE D - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1. Cash and cash equivalents
For Statement of Cash Flows purposes, the Company considers all cash on
hand and in banks, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid
investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be
cash and cash equivalents.
2. Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income
taxes. At September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, the deferred tax asset
and deferred tax liability accounts, as recorded when material to the
financial statements, are entirely the result of temporary differences.
Temporary differences represent differences in the recognition of assets
and liabilities for tax and financial reporting purposes, primarily
accumulated depreciation and amortization, allowance for doubtful accounts
and vacation accruals.
As of September 30, 2007 and 2006, the deferred tax asset related to the
Company's net operating loss carryforward is fully reserved. Due to the
provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 338, the Company may have no
net operating loss carryforwards available to offset financial statement or
tax return taxable income in future periods as a result of a change in
control involving 50 percentage points or more of the issued and
outstanding securities of the Company.
3. Earnings (loss) per share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income
(loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of
common shares outstanding during the respective period presented in our
accompanying financial statements.
Fully diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic income
(loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the
number of common stock equivalents (primarily outstanding options and
warrants).
Common stock equivalents represent the dilutive effect of the assumed
exercise of the outstanding stock options and warrants, using the treasury
stock method, at either the beginning of the respective period presented or
the date of issuance, whichever is later, and only if the common stock
equivalents are considered dilutive based upon the Company's net income
(loss) position at the calculation date.
At September 30, 2007 and 2006, and subsequent thereto, the Company had no
outstanding common stock equivalents.
4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting
pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company's results of
operations, financial position or cash flows.
NOTE E - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes
payable, as applicable, approximates fair value due to the short term nature of
these items and/or the current interest rates payable in relation to current
market conditions.

September 30, 2007 and 2006
NOTE E - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - CONTINUED
Interest rate risk is the risk that the Company's earnings are subject to
fluctuations in interest rates on either investments or on debt and is fully
dependent upon the volatility of these rates. The Company does not use
derivative instruments to moderate its exposure to interest rate risk, if any.
Financial risk is the risk that the Company's earnings are subject to
fluctuations in interest rates or foreign exchange rates and are fully dependent
upon the volatility of these rates. The company does not use derivative
instruments to moderate its exposure to financial risk, if any.
NOTE F - NOTE PAYABLE TO STOCKHOLDER
During Calendar 2006, the Company executed a $20,000 Line of Credit Note Payable
with Glenn A. Little, the Company's former controlling stockholder to provide
funds necessary to support the corporate entity and comply with the periodic
reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This
note bears interest at 6.0% and matures in September 2008. Through September 30,
2007, Mr. Little has advanced $10,000 to the Company.
NOTE G - INCOME TAXES
The components of income tax (benefit) expense for each of the nine month
periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, are as follows:

Concurrent with April 2004 and March 2007 changes in control, the Company has a
nominal net operating loss carryforward for income tax purposes. The amount and
availability of any future net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to
limitations set forth by the Internal Revenue Code. Factors such as the number
of shares ultimately issued within a three year look-back period; whether there
is a deemed more than 50 percent change in control; the applicable long-term tax
exempt bond rate; continuity of historical business; and subsequent income of
the Company all enter into the annual computation of allowable annual
utilization of the carryforwards.

NOTE H - COMMON STOCK TRANSACTIONS
On June 13, 2006, the Company changed its state of incorporation from Florida to
Nevada by means of a merger with and into a Nevada corporation formed on June 8,
2006 solely for the purpose of effecting the reincorporation. The Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws of the Nevada corporation are the Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws of the surviving corporation. Such Articles of
Incorporation kept the Company's new name of Marketing Acquisition Corporation
and modified the Company's capital structure to allow for the issuance of up to
100,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock and up to 50,000,000 shares
of $0.001 par value preferred stock.
On March 20, 2007, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement (Agreement)
with Halter Financial Investments, L.P., a Texas limited partnership (HFI).
Other than in respect to this transaction, HFI had had no other material
relationship with the Company or any of the Company's then officers, directors
or affiliates or any associate of any such officer or director. Pursuant to the
Agreement, the Company sold to HFI 60,000,000 shares of its common stock at a
purchase price of $.001 per share. The Company relied upon Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for an exemption from registration of these
shares and no underwriter was used in this transaction. As a result of the
closing of this stock purchase transaction, HFI owns 71.4% of the total
outstanding shares of the Company's capital stock and 71.4% total voting power
of all outstanding voting securities.
On April 23, 2007, the Company's Board of Directors unanimously approved and
recommended that the stockholders approve, and the Company's Majority
Stockholder approved, an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to effect a
reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock on a 1
for 48 share basis, with no stockholder being reversed to less than a round lot
of 100 shares with fractional shares rounded up to the nearest whole share:

The effect of the reverse split reduced the total number of issued and
outstanding shares from 84,033,600 to 1,849,285 shares, after giving effect to
both the special provisions discussed above and the rounding for fractional
shares. The reverse stock split did not change the par value of our common stock
nor change the number of authorized shares of our common stock. The effect of
this action is reflected in the Company's financial statements as of the first
day of the first period presented.

PART I - ITEM 2
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
(1) CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Certain statements contained in this quarterly filing, including, without
limitation, statements containing the words "believes", "anticipates", "expects"
and words of similar import, constitute forward-looking statements. Such
forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of
the Company, or industry results, to be materially different from any future
results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements.
Such factors include, among others, the following: international, national and
local general economic and market conditions: demographic changes; the ability
of the Company to sustain, manage or forecast its growth; the ability of the
Company to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; raw material costs and
availability; new product development and introduction; existing government
regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government
regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss of significant customers
or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results;
changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the
ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect
technology; and other factors referenced in this and previous filings.
Given these uncertainties, readers of this Form 10-QSB and investors are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The
Company disclaims any obligation to update any such factors or to publicly
announce the result of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements
contained herein to reflect future events or developments.
(2) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company had no revenue for either of the nine month periods ended September
30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
General and administrative expenses for the nine month periods ended September
30, 2007 and 2006 relate to the maintenance of the corporate entity and
complying with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
It is anticipated that future expenditure levels may increase as the Company
intends to fully comply with it's periodic reporting requirements.
Earnings per share for the respective six month periods ended September 30, 2007
and 2006 were $(0.01) and $(0.03), respectively, based on the weighted-average
shares issued and outstanding at the end of each respective period, after
adjustment for the May 17, 2007 1-for-48 reverse stock split.
The Company does not expect to generate any meaningful revenue or incur
operating expenses for purposes other than fulfilling the obligations of a
reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 unless and until
such time that the Company's operating subsidiary begins meaningful operations.
At September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, the Company had working capital of
approximately $53,000 and $8,100, respectively.
It is the belief of management and significant stockholders that they will
provide sufficient working capital necessary to support and preserve the
integrity of the corporate entity will be present. However, there is no legal
obligation for either management or significant stockholders to provide
additional future funding. Should this pledge fail to provide financing, the
Company has not identified any alternative sources. Consequently, there is
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company's need for working capital may change dramatically as a result of
any business acquisition or combination transaction. There can be no assurance
that the Company will identify any such business, product, technology or company
suitable for acquisition in the future. Further, there can be no assurance that
the Company would be successful in consummating any acquisition on favorable
terms or that it will be able to profitably manage the business, product,
technology or company it acquires.
12
PLAN OF BUSINESS
GENERAL
The Company intends to locate and combine with an existing, privately-held
company which is profitable or, in management's view, has growth potential,
irrespective of the industry in which it is engaged. However, the Company does
not intend to combine with a private company which may be deemed to be an
investment company subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940. A combination
may be structured as a merger, consolidation, exchange of the Company's common
stock for stock or assets or any other form which will result in the combined
enterprise's becoming a publicly-held corporation.
Pending negotiation and consummation of a combination, the Company anticipates
that it will have, aside from carrying on its search for a combination partner,
no business activities, and, thus, will have no source of revenue. Should the
Company incur any significant liabilities prior to a combination with a private
company, it may not be able to satisfy such liabilities as are incurred.
If the Company's management pursues one or more combination opportunities beyond
the preliminary negotiations stage and those negotiations are subsequently
terminated, it is foreseeable that such efforts will exhaust the Company's
ability to continue to seek such combination opportunities before any successful
combination can be consummated. In that event, the Company's common stock will
become worthless and holders of the Company's common stock will receive a
nominal distribution, if any, upon the Company's liquidation and dissolution.
COMBINATION SUITABILITY STANDARDS
In its pursuit for a combination partner, the Company's management intends to
consider only combination candidates which are profitable or, in management's
view, have growth potential. The Company's management does not intend to pursue
any combination proposal beyond the preliminary negotiation stage with any
combination candidate which does not furnish the Company with audited financial
statements for at least its most recent fiscal year and unaudited financial
statements for interim periods subsequent to the date of such audited financial
statements, or is in a position to provide such financial statements in a timely
manner. The Company will, if necessary funds are available, engage attorneys
and/or accountants in its efforts to investigate a combination candidate and to
consummate a business combination. The Company may require payment of fees by
such combination candidate to fund the investigation of such candidate. In the
event such a combination candidate is engaged in a high technology business, the
Company may also obtain reports from independent organizations of recognized
standing covering the technology being developed and/or used by the candidate.
The Company's limited financial resources may make the acquisition of such
reports difficult or even impossible to obtain and, thus, there can be no
assurance that the Company will have sufficient funds to obtain such reports
when considering combination proposals or candidates. To the extent the Company
is unable to obtain the advice or reports from experts, the risks of any
combined enterprise's being unsuccessful will be enhanced. Furthermore, to the
knowledge of the Company's officers and directors, neither the candidate nor any
of its directors, executive officers, principal stockholders or general
partners:
(1) will not have been convicted of securities fraud, mail fraud, tax
fraud, embezzlement, bribery, or a similar criminal offense involving
misappropriation or theft of funds, or be the subject of a pending
investigation or indictment involving any of those offenses;
(2) will not have been subject to a temporary or permanent injunction or
restraining order arising from unlawful transactions in securities,
whether as issuer, underwriter, broker, dealer, or investment advisor,
may be the subject of any pending investigation or a defendant in a
pending lawsuit arising from or based upon allegations of unlawful
transactions in securities; or
(3) will not have been a defendant in a civil action which resulted in a
final judgement against it or him awarding damages or rescission based
upon unlawful practices or sales of securities.
The Company's officers and directors will make these determinations by asking
pertinent questions of the management of prospective combination candidates.
Such persons will also ask pertinent questions of others who may be involved in
the combination proceedings. However, the officers and directors of the Company
will not generally take other steps to verify independently information obtained
in this manner which is favorable. Unless something comes to their attention
which puts them on notice of a possible disqualification which is being
concealed from them, such persons will rely on information received from the
management of the prospective combination candidate and from others who may be
involved in the combination proceedings.

(3) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
It is the belief of management and significant stockholders that they will
provide sufficient working capital necessary to support and preserve the
integrity of the corporate entity will be present. However, there is no legal
obligation for either management or significant stockholders to provide
additional future funding. Should this pledge fail to provide financing, the
Company has not identified any alternative sources. Consequently, there is
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company has no current plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings with
respect to the sale or issuance of additional securities prior to the location
of a merger or acquisition candidate. Accordingly, there can be no assurance
that sufficient funds will be available to the Company to allow it to cover the
expenses related to such activities.
Regardless of whether the Company's cash assets prove to be inadequate to meet
the Company's operational needs, the Company might seek to compensate providers
of services by issuances of stock in lieu of cash.
