PART I
 
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
Australian Forest Industries ("the Company"), through its wholly owned subsidiary Integrated Forest Products Pty Ltd ("Integrated"), previously operated a saw mill in Australia which cut pine timber into building products to supply the commercial and residential industry along the eastern coast of Australia. In July 2007, it went into receivership in Australia and, as a result, discontinued its operations. However, the Company has not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding. Additionally, the Company has not been involved in any material reclassification, merger, consolidation, or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business.
 
On September 1, 2006, Integrated, owned by the Timbermans Group Pty Ltd ("Timbermans"), entered into a share exchange agreement with the Company and issued 240,000,000 shares of its common stock to acquire Integrated. In connection with the share exchange agreement, Integrated became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and Integrated's officers and directors became the officers and directors of the Company. Prior to the merger, the Company was a non-operating "shell" corporation.
 
Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission rules, the merger of a private operating company (Integrated) into a non-operating public shell corporation with nominal net assets is considered a capital transaction. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the merger has been treated as an acquisition of the Company by Integrated and a recapitalization of the Company. The historical financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 are those of Integrated. Since the merger is a recapitalization and not a business combination, pro forma information is not presented.
 
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of $25,432,835 in 2007 and had a stockholders' deficit of $34,412,897 at December 31, 2007. Management's plans include the dissolution of the business and the liquidation of all liabilities. It also plans to spin out the bankrupt subsidiary and look for a merger candidate for the public shell. The Company subsidiary is in bankruptcy under Australian laws. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a liquidation basis and discontinued operation.

HISTORY

Australian Forest Industries f/k/a Multi-Tech International, Corp., hereinafter referred to as "the Company", "we' or "us", was originally organized by the filing of Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on September 21, 1998 under the name Oleramma, Inc. The Articles of Incorporation authorized the issuance of one hundred five million (105,000,000) shares, consisting of one hundred million (100,000,000) shares
of Common Stock at par value of $0.001 per share and five million (5,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock at par value of $0.001.

On April 28, 1999, the Company changed its name to BuckTV,Com, Inc. on the basis that the Company would market consumer products through an InteractiveWeb site. The Company again changed its name in November 2002 to Multi-Tech International, Corp.

On September 1, 2004, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Timbermans Group Pty Ltd, an Australian corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary at the time Integrated Forest Products Pty Ltd, an Australian corporation as well (“Share Exchange Agreement” and “Share Exchange”, respectively). Pursuant to such Share Exchange Agreement, we:

·  
completed a 200-1 reverse stock split of our common stock
·  
increased our authorized number of shares from 100,000,000 to 300,000,000
·  
changed our name from Multi-Tech International, Inc. to Australian Forest Industries
·  
appointed Messrs. Michael Timms, Norman Backman, Colin Baird, Antony Esplin and Roger Timms to the board of directors
·  
issued 257,000,000 shares of our common stock as a result of the Share Exchange Agreement

Thus, upon completion of the Share Exchange, Integrated Forest Products Pty Ltd (“IFP”) became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the Company’s symbol on the OTC-BB was changed from “MLTI” to “AUFI”.

Recent events

On July 31, 2007, PricewaterhouseCoopers Australia was appointed Receivers and Managers of both Integrated and Timbermans.  On this same date, Deloitte was appointed Liquidator of Timbermans.  Romanis Cant was appointed Liquidator of Integrated on October 18, 2007.

Business operations of Integrated were continued until November 30, 2007 when all the assets of Integrated were offered for sale as a going concern.  No offers capable of acceptance by the Receivers were submitted.  As a result, the Receivers entered into contracts to sell the land, plant and equipment of IFP as individual assets.  Settlement of these contracts is expected to take place around the end of April 2008.

Timbermans owned two major assets, a rural property and the shares in the Company.  The rural property was sold by auction on March 14, 2008.  The Company has entered into a contract to sell its land and buildings for $9,556,357 and all of its manufacturing equipment for $964,403. Settlement of this sale is expected to take place around the end of April 2008.  The sale of the Company’s shares is expected to conclude shortly after the completion of the audit of Integrated and Timbermans' accounts, and lodgment of the requisite reports with the authorities in the United States.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

Timbermans owned a rural property that was sold by auction on March 14, 2008.  The Company has entered into a contract to sell its land and buildings for $9,556,357.  Settlement of this sale is expected to take place around the end of April 2008.
 
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Integrated and Timbermans were placed under administration in Australia (in the U.S. this is tantamount to a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy).  On July 31, 2007, PricewaterhouseCoopers Australia was appointed Receivers and Managers of both Integrated and Timbermans.  Also on this same date, Deloitte was appointed Liquidator of Timbermans.  Romanis Cant was appointed Liquidator of Integrated on October 18, 2007.

Business operations of Integrated were continued until November 30, 2007 when all of the assets of Integrated were offered for sale as a going concern.  No offers capable of acceptance by the Receivers were submitted.  As a result, the Receivers entered into contracts to sell the land, plant and equipment of Integrated as individual assets.  Settlement of these contracts is expected to take place around the end of April 2008.

Timbermans owned two major assets, a rural property and the shares in the Company.  The rural property was sold by auction on March 14, 2008.  Settlement of this sale is expected to take place around the end of April 2008.  The sale of the Company’s shares is expected to conclude shortly after the completion of the audit of Integrated and Timbermans' accounts, and lodgment of the requisite reports with the authorities in the United States.

Oz Investmentcorp Pty Ltd. initiated a letter of demand for the $1,578,600 due from the Timbermans Group for full payment of funds lent to the Timbermans Group.  The Company is currently negotiating with Oz and had agreed to provide additional collateral.

On November 14, 2007, the Company was named as a co-defendant in a lawsuit brought in the High Court of Justice Chancery Division, England by Courical Holding B.V. (“Plaintiff”) whereby it is alleged that the Plaintiff invested $650,000 in Zebra Mining Services Limited (“Co-Defendant”) in exchange for 325,000 shares of Company common stock and 325,000 warrants to purchase Company common stock pursuant to an agreement between the three parties. The Plaintiff alleges that it never received any consideration for its investment from either the Co-Defendant or the Company. Although the Company anticipates submitting an answer to such Complaint, it has not currently done so as it is considering its course of action thereto.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
It should be noted that this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations may contain "forward-looking statements." The terms "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "goal," "expect," and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements represent the Company's current expectations or beliefs concerning future events. The matters covered by these statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements, including the Company's dependence on weather-related factors, introduction and customer acceptance of new products, the impact of competition and price erosion, as well as supply and manufacturing restraints and other risks and uncertainties. The foregoing list should not be construed as exhaustive, and the Company disclaims any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements, or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation that the strategy, objectives or other plans of the Company will be achieved. The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.
 
Integrated and Timbermans are currently under administration in Australia (in the U.S. this is tantamount to a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy).  On July 31, 2007, Price Waterhouse Coopers LLP was appointed Receivers and Managers of both Integrated and Timbermans.  Also on this same date, Deloitte was appointed Liquidator of Timbermans.  Romanis Cant was appointed Liquidator of Integrated on October 18, 2007.

The business operations of Integrated were continued until November 30, 2007 when all of the assets of Integrated were offered for sale as a going concern.  No offers capable of acceptance by the Receivers were submitted.  As a result, the Receivers entered into contracts to sell the land, plant and equipment of Integrated as individual assets.  Settlement of these contracts is expected to take place around the end of April 2008.

Timbermans owned two major assets, a rural property and the shares in the Company.  The rural property was sold by auction on March 14, 2008.  The Company has entered into a contract to sell its land and buildings for $9,556,357 and all of its manufacturing equipment for $964,403. Settlement of this sale is expected to take place around the end of April 2008.  The sale of the Company’s shares is expected to conclude shortly after the completion of the audit of Integrated and Timbermans' accounts, and lodgment of the requisite reports with the authorities in the United States.
 
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of $25,432,835 in 2007 and had a stockholders' deficit of $34,412,897 at December 31, 2007. Management's plans include the dissolution of the business and the liquidation of all liabilities. It also plans to spin out the bankrupt subsidiary and look for a merger candidate. The Company’s subsidiary is in bankruptcy under Australian laws.
 
Our current business objective for the next 12 months is to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation.  We will not restrict our potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business.

We do not currently engage in any business activities that provide us with positive cash flows.  As such, the costs of investigating and analyzing business combinations for the next approximately 12 months and beyond will be paid through funds from financing to be obtained.

During the next 12 months we anticipate incurring costs related to filing of Exchange Act reports and costs relating to consummating an acquisition.

We believe we will be able to meet these costs with amounts to be loaned to or invested in us by our stockholders or other investors.

We may consider a business which has recently commenced operations, is a developing company in need of additional funds for expansion into new products or markets, is seeking to develop a new product or service, or is an established business which may be experiencing financial or operating difficulties and is in need of additional capital.  In the alternative, a business combination may involve the acquisition of, or merger with, a company which does not need substantial additional capital, but which desires to establish a public trading market for its shares, while avoiding, among other things, the time delays, significant expense, and loss of voting control which may occur in a public offering.

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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The Company’s subsidiary is in bankruptcy under Australian laws.

Losses associated with discontinued operations for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2006 aggregated $6,232,558.  As a result, we realized a net operating loss from discontinued operations of $6,232,558 or $(0.02) per share.

Losses associated with discontinued operations for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2007 aggregated $9,792,485.  As a result, we realized a net operating loss from discontinued operations of $25,432,835 or $(0.10) per share.

 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
On December 31, 2005 and 2006 we had no assets.

The Company had total liabilities of $34,412,897 and 6,934,184 in 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The Company has incurred a net loss of $25,432,835 in 2007 and had a stockholders' deficit of $34,412,897 at December 31, 2007.  In 2006, the Company incurred a net loss of $6,232,558 and had a stockholders’ deficit of $6,834,184.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to bad debts, income taxes and contingencies and litigation.  The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Affecting the Company:

 
In June 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Interpretation 48, "Accounting for Income Tax Uncertainties" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the financial statements as "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained by the taxing authority. Recently issued literature also provides guidance on the derecognition, measurement and classification of income tax uncertainties, along with any related interest and penalties. FIN 48 also includes guidance concerning accounting for income tax uncertainties in interim periods and increases the level of disclosures associated with any recorded income tax uncertainties. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,2007. The Company expects to adopt the provisions of FIN 48 beginning in the first quarter of 2007. The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact, if any, of adopting the provisions of FIN 48 on its financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
 
In September 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements," which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under other accounting pronouncements that permit or require fair value measurements, changes the methods used to measure fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In particular, disclosures are required to provide information on the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities; the inputs used to develop measurements; and the effect of certain of the measurements on earnings (or changes in net assets). SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption, as of the beginning of an entity's fiscal year, is also permitted, provided interim financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company expects to adopt the provisions of FIN 48 beginning in the first quarter of 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In September 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements" ("SAB No. 108"). SAB No. 108 provides guidance on how prior year misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in the current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires registrants to quantify misstatements using both a balance sheet and an income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. SAB No. 108 does not change the guidance in SAB No. 99, "Materiality," when evaluating the materiality of misstatements.
 
SAB No. 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2007. Upon initial application, SAB No. 108 permits a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings. The Company adopted SAB No. 108 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. Adoption of SAB No. 108 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 allows entities to measure at fair value many financial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We have not determined what impact, if any, that adoption will have on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Board of Directors
Australian Forest Industries
Melbourne, Australia

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Australian Forest Industries, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2007 and 2006  and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2007. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Australian Forest Industries, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will be liquidated.  As discussed in Note A to the consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $25,432,835 in 2007 and had an accumulated deficit of $37,400,114 at December 31, 2007, and there are existing uncertain conditions the Company faces relative to its ability to obtain capital and operate successfully. These conditions resulted in a decision to liquidate the Company.  Management’s plans regarding these matters are described in Note A.  The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a liquidation basis for its wholly owned subsidiary.

AUSTRALIAN FOREST INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2007


NOTE A -   BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

 
Nature of Business

Australian Forest Industries (“the Company”), through its wholly owned subsidiary Integrated Forest Products Pty Ltd (“Integrated”), previously operated a saw mill in Australia which cut pine timber into building products to supply the commercial and residential industry along the eastern coast of Australia. In July 2007, its wholly owned subsidiary in Australia went into bankruptcy and has formerly discontinued its operations.
 
                Going Concern and Liquidation           
 
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $25,432,835 in 2007 and had an accumulated deficit of $37,400,114 at December 31, 2007.  Management plans to dissolve the business and liquidate the liabilities.  It also plans to spin out the bankrupt subsidiary and look for a merger candidate for the public shell.   The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary is in bankruptcy under Australian laws. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and discontinued operations of the Australian subsidiary have been prepared on a liquidation basis.
 
NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation

For 2007 and 2006, the Company considered the Australian dollar to be its functional currency.  Assets and liabilities were translated into US dollars at year-end exchange rates.  Statement of operations amounts were translated using the average rate during the year.  Gains and losses resulting from translating foreign currency financial statements were accumulated in other comprehensive income, a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash equivalents include investment instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.  There were no cash equivalents in 2007 or 2006.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value.  Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.  There was no inventory at December 31, 2007.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2007

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


Equipment and Depreciation

Equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.  Routine maintenance, repairs and replacement costs are expensed as incurred and improvements that extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized.  When equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in operations.

Consolidated Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Net Loss Per Common Share

The Company computes per share amounts in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, “Earnings per Share”.  SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS.  Basic EPS is computed by dividing the income (loss) available to Common Stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS is based on the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock and Common Stock equivalents outstanding during the periods.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for the reporting and disclosure of comprehensive income and its components to be presented in association with a company’s financial statements.  Comprehensive income is defined as the change in a business enterprise’s equity during a period arising from transactions, events or circumstances relating to non-owner sources, such as foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities.  It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by or distributions to owners.  Comprehensive income is accumulated in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ deficit.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock issued for services using the fair value method.  In accordance with the Emergency Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 96-18, the measurement date of shares issued for service is the date at which the counterpart’s performance is complete.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The Company uses financial instruments in the normal course of business.  The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable, bank overdraft, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.  The carrying values of loans payable approximate their fair value based upon management’s estimates using the best available information.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2007

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts represents management’s estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in accounts receivable, based upon experience and a review of past due balances.

Revenue Recognition

The Company was in the business of producing lumber for the building industry.  In this connection, it receives orders from distributors and lumber yards throughout Australia.  The Company ships its finished products FOB shipping point and title passes at that point.  The Company also assures itself that there are valid sales arrangements, sales prices are fixed and determinable, and that collectibility is reasonably assured.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”).  SFAS 159 allows entities to measure at fair value many financial instruments and certain other assets and liabilities that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We have not determined what impact, if any, that adoption will have on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS NO. 141R, Business Combinations. This standard establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired.  This statement also establishes disclosure requirements which will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination.  SFAS No. 141R is effective for us for acquisitions made after November 30, 2009.  The company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, that the adoption of SFAS No. 141R will have on  its consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements.  This standard outlines the accounting and reporting for ownership interest in a subsidiary held by parties other than the parent.  SFAS No. 160 is effective for our first quarter of 2010.  The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, that the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE C  - VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

The Company accounts for variable interest entities (“VIE’s”) under FIN 46R. FIN 46R provides general guidance as to the definition of a variable interest entity and requires it to be consolidated if a party with an ownership, contractual or other financial interest, absorbs the majority of the VIE’s expected losses, or is entitled to receive a majority of the residual returns, or both.  A variable interest holder that consolidates the VIE is the primary beneficiary and is required to consolidate the VIE’s assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests at fair value at the date the interest holder first becomes the primary beneficiary of the VIE.

December 31, 2007


NOTE C - VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES (CONTINUED)

The Company concluded that Timbermans Group Pty. Ltd. was deemed to be a VIE under FIN 46R and accordingly it has been consolidated in the accompanying financial statements.  Timbermans Group, a holding company which acquired the Company through an exchange agreement, became the majority shareholder of Australian Forest Industries by investing $5,307,400 in the Company which was borrowed from National Australia Bank. Timbermans Group Pty. Ltd. is also in bankruptcy under Australian laws.

NOTE D - NET LIABILITIES OF  DISCONTINUED ENTITIES

The following represents the net liabilities of entities discontinued at December 31, 2007:

Cash
  $ 1,922,008  
Property and equipment
    3,547,356  
Bank overdrafts
    (4,400,360 )
National Bank of Australia - commercial loan

Related party loan
    (8,508,300 )
Accrued taxes and benefits
    (2,258,404 )
    $ (34,412,897 )

The following is supplemental information on the major categories listed above:

Property and Equipment

The Company has entered into a contract to sell its land and buildings for $9,556,357 and all of its manufacturing equipment for $964,403.  Accordingly, the manufacturing equipment has been written down to the net contract price.  No write down was recorded  for the land and buildings since the contract price is substantially greater than the carrying value recorded on the books and records of the Company.

Bank Overdraft

The Company has an overdraft facility with the National Bank of Australia in the amount of $4,400,360 at the Australian base rate plus 1.80% annually.  The facility is secured by the assets of the Company and Timbermans Group Pty. Ltd., and personal guarantees of the principal Officers and Directors of the Company.  The notes currently bear interest at the rate of 11.9% per annum with a default rate of 18.4% per annum.  The facility is currently due and is in default.

National Bank of Australia - Commercial Loan

 In 2006, the Timbermans Group Pty. Ltd. obtained a credit facility of $6,273,931 to acquire a majority interest in Australian Forest Industries.  The credit facility is secured by the assets of Australian Forest Industries, Timbermans Group Pty. Ltd., the personal guarantees of the principal Officers and Directors of Australian Forest Industries and Timbermans Group Pty. Ltd., as well as personal properties of certain principal Officers and Directors.  The loan bears interest at the rate of 6.2% on $2,880,000 and a floating rate on the balance of the loan.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2007


NOTE D - NET LIABILITIES OF  DISCONTINUED ENTITIES (CONTINUED)

National Bank of Australia - Capitalized Lease

The Company has obtained various pieces of equipment under capital leases aggregating $9,867,459.  This equipment had  been originally recorded under property and equipment and has been written down to the sales contract value described in the Property and Equipment note.  The loans are secured by the equipment and bears interest at 8% per annum.  The loans are currently in default..

Related Party Loan

Included in the related party debt is a loan to Timberman’s from Oz Investmentcorp Pty. Ltd. (“Oz”)In the amount of $2,103,068, which bears interest at 7.5% per annum.  The loan is in default.  The loan is convertible into Timberman’s shares at a conversion price that will give Oz a proportionate share of the total issued shares of Timbermans Group (See also Note G - Litigation.)

At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company was indebted to the shareholders of Timbermans for $6,405,232.   The loans are non interest bearing, are unsecured and have no specific repayment date.  This indebtedness is the net result of transactions between the Company and Timbermans.

NOTE E - INCOME TAXES

The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Statement SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.  Under this method, the Company recognizes a deferred tax liability or asset for temporary differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and the related amount reported on the financial statements.  The principal types of differences, which are measured at current tax rates, are net operating loss carry forwards. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, these differences resulted in a deferred tax asset of approximately $11,200,000 and $3,590,100. SFAS No. 109 requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets.  Since realization is not assured, the  Company  has  recorded  a  valuation  allowance  for   the   entire  deferred  tax  asset,  and   the  accompanying  financial statements do not reflect any net asset for deferred taxes at December 31, 2007 or 2006.

The Company’s net operating loss carry forwards amounted to approximately $37,400,000 and $11,967,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006, which have unlimited expiration.

NOTE F - STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

In connection with the Reverse Merger on September 1, 2006, the Company issued 17,000,000 shares to a consultant.  The shares were valued at $0.015 per share which was the average trading price for the third quarter.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company issued 200,000 shares at $0.35 which was recorded as stock based compensation of $70,000.

NOTE G – LITIGATION

Oz has initiated a letter of demand for the $2,103,068 due from the Timbermans Group for full payment of funds lent to the Timbermans Group.  The Company is currently negotiating with Oz and has agreed to provide additional collateral.

ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Through the September 30, 2004 reporting period, our accountants were Michael Johnson & Co., LLC. In January 2005, we changed accountants to Meyler & Company LLC, independent certified public accountants. At no time has there been any disagreement with such accountants regarding any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.

ITEM 8A. DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

As of the end of the period covering this Form 10-KSB, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our "disclosure controls and procedures". The Company’s President conducted this evaluation by himself.

(i) Definition of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. As defined by the SEC, such disclosure controls and procedures are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the President and Chief Financial Officer, in such a manner as to allow timely disclosure decisions.

(ii) Limitations on the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls.

The Company recognizes that a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as well as a system of internal controls), no matter how well conceived and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of such a system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Additionally, controls can be circumvented in a number of ways. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, system failures may occur and not be detected.  However, our officers and directors believe that our system of disclosure controls and procedures provides reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.

(iii) Conclusions with Respect to Our Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Our officers and directors have concluded, based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures, that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company required to be included in our periodic SEC filings.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls.

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter of 2005 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
