NOTES TO INTERIM UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Going Concern Pacific Alliance Corporation (the “Company”) is a development stage Company and attempts to locate a new business (operating company), and offer itself as a merger vehicle for a company that may desire to go public through a merger rather than through its own public stock offering.

Pacific Alliance Corporation, whose name was changed from Pacific Syndication, Inc. in 1997, was originally incorporated in December 1991 under the laws of the State of Delaware. It also became a California corporation in 1991. Pacific Syndication, Inc. was engaged in the business of videotape duplication, standard conversion and delivery of television programming. In 1994, Pacific Syndication, Inc. merged with Kaiser Research, Inc.

The Company filed a petition for Chapter 11 under the Bankruptcy Code in June 1995. The debtor in possession kept operating until December 21, 1995, when all assets, except cash and accounts receivable, were sold to a third party, Starcom. The purchaser assumed all post-petition liabilities and all obligations collateralized by the assets acquired.

In 1997, a reorganization plan was approved by the Bankruptcy Court, and the remaining creditors of all liabilities subject to compromise, excluding tax claims, were issued 1,458,005 shares of the Company’s common stock in March 1998, which corresponds to one share for every dollar of indebtedness. Each share of common stock issued was also accompanied by an A warrant and a B warrant. The IRS portion of tax liabilities was payable in cash by quarterly installments (see note 2). Repayment of other taxes is still being negotiated.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplated the June 30, 2009 financial statements, the Company did not generate any revenue, and has a net capital deficiency. These factors among others may indicate that the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company funded its disbursements using loans from an officer and other notes.

Presentation of Interim Information The financial information at June 30, 2009 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are unaudited, but includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information set forth herein, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, such information does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. For further information refer to the Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2008.

The balance sheet as of December 31, 2008 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 may not be indicative of results for the year ending December 31, 2009 or any future periods.

Use of estimates The preparation of the accompanying financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Income (Loss) Per Common Share The Company accounts for income (loss) per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” SFAS No. 128 requires that presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share for entities with complex capital structures. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity. Diluted net loss per common share does not differ from basic net loss per common share as the Company lacks of dilutive items.

Convertible Notes Payable and Derivative Liabilities The Company accounts for convertible notes payable in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This standard requires the conversion feature of convertible debt be separated from the host contract and presented as a derivative instrument if certain conditions are met. Emerging Issue Task Force (EITF) 00-19, "Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to and Potentially Settled in a Company's Own Stock" and EITF 05-2, "The Meaning of "Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument" in Issue No. 00-19" were also analyzed to determine whether the debt instrument is to be considered a conventional convertible debt instrument and classified in stockholders' equity. The convertible notes payable were evaluated and determined not conventional convertible and, therefore, because of certain terms and provisions including liquidating damages under the associated registration rights agreement the embedded conversion option was bifurcated and has been accounted for as a derivative liability instrument. The accounting guidance also requires that the conversion feature be recorded at fair value for each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded in the statements of operations.

A Black-Scholes valuation calculation was applied to the conversion features at issuance dates and report dates. The issuance date valuations were recorded as a interest expense reflected on the statements of operations. The reporting date valuations were used to record the fair value of these instruments at the end of the reporting period with any difference from prior period calculations reflected in the statement of operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements: Pacific Alliance Corporation does not believe newly issued accounting pronouncements will have any material impact on its financial statements.

NOTE 2 – TAX LIABILITIES

The Company owes back taxes to the IRS, California Franchise Tax Board, California State Board of Equalization, and County of Los Angeles, before the bankruptcy. The Company is attempting to negotiate settlements and the final amount may differ from the amount recorded on the balance sheets.

The IRS portion of tax liabilities was payable in quarterly installments of $ 11,602, and the final payment was due in January 2002. However, no payments have been made since April 2000. As of June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008 the Company owes $299,586 and $293,448 to the IRS, respectively. The taxes owed to the IRS are delinquent and accruing interest at 9% per annum.

As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company owes $5,455 and $5,455 to California Franchise Tax Board, respectively. No payments have been made and the taxes owed to California Franchise Tax Board are delinquent. No interest is being accrued; however, a protection lien is being filed.

As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company owes $45,999 and $45,019 to California State Board of Equalization, respectively. No payments have been made and the taxes owed to California State Board of Equalization are delinquent and accruing an interest at 9% per annum.

NOTE 2 – TAX LIABILITIES (continued)

As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company owes $7,955 and $7,785 to the County of Los Angeles, respectively. No payments have been made and the taxes owed to the County of Los Angeles are delinquent and accruing an interest at 9% per annum.

NOTE 3 – SHORT TERM NOTE PAYABLE

The notes payable bear interest at 10% per annum and are due on demand. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the balance was $137,100 and $137,100, respectively.

NOTE 4 – NOTES PAYABLE TO RELATED PARTIES

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company paid $73,584 to minority shareholders. The balance for the notes payable to related parties was $79,709 and $153,293 as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. These notes bear interest at 10% to 12%, and are due on demand.

NOTE 5 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company issued outstanding convertible notes bearing an annual interest rate of 8% and are convertible within six months from the date of each note. The notes contain a convertible feature allowing the holder to convert all or a portion of the outstanding balance into the Company’s common stock. Due to the moving conversion price of the Company’s convertible debt, it has bifurcated the conversion feature from the host debt instrument in accordance with EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock,” accounted for these conversion features as derivative instruments, and valued these conversion features using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Based on the calculations per the valuation model the Company incurred a charge to interest expenses of $804,881 and $350,710, at the time of issuance, in the quarter ended June 30, 2009, and March 31, 2009, respectively. The Company also recorded an expense of $704,609 as change in derivative liability for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 due to an increase in the Company’s stock price at the end of the second quarter ended June 30, 2009.

As of June 30, 2009 the amount of the convertible notes outstanding totaled $802,000, all of which is short-term convertible debt. $792,000 of the total convertible notes were issued to third parties and $10,000 were issued to a related party.

NOTE 6 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company issued 677,550 shares of common stock for management services, pursuant to the provisions of the Modified Plan of Reorganization approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in 1997. The stocks were valued $0.10 per share, or $67,755 of total.

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

General

Pacific Alliance Corporation (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation which is currently inactive. The Company was previously engaged in the business of distributing television programming. On June 23, 1995, the Company filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (Case No. BK. No. SV 95-14737 KL). On May 28, 1997 (the “Confirmation Date”), the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California Confirmed the Company’s Modified Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) and First Amended Disclosure Statement (the “Disclosure Statement”). The Effective Date of the Plan was June 8, 1997. On February 23, 2000, United States Bankruptcy Judge entered a “Final Decree Order Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 350”, and thereby issued a final decree closing the bankruptcy case. The claim by the Internal Revenue Service was not discharged by the Final Decree Order.

History

The Company was organized on April 22, 1986 under the laws of the State of Utah under the name of Kaiser Research, Inc. On December 2, 1994, the Company changed its domicile from the State of Utah to the State of Delaware through a reincorporation merger. In order to effect the reincorporation merger, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary under Delaware law under the name of PACSYND, Inc. After the change of the Company’s domicile, it acquired a privately held corporation (“Private PSI”) in a merger transaction, and in connection therewith, the Company’s name was changed to Pacific Syndication, Inc.

After the acquisition of Private PSI in December 1994, and prior to its filing of a Petition under Chapter 11, the Company was engaged in the business of transmitting television programming to television stations and others via satellite or land deliveries on behalf of production companies, syndicators and other distributors of television programming. Although the Private PSI was not the survivor of the Merger, and did not exist after the Merger, pursuant to the accounting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission the Merger was treated as a “reverse merger” and, solely for accounting purposes, Private PSI was deemed to be the survivor.

Private PSI was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware in November 1991. Private PSI was formed to engage in the business of providing a variety of television industry related services to its clients. Such services included, but were not limited to, video tape duplication, standards conversion and delivery of television programming by way of conventional carriers (such as UPS, Airborne and Federal Express) and by satellite or fiber optic transmission.

Private PSI provided its clients (primarily television producers, programmers and syndicators) with several related but different services, including distribution of syndicated programming to television stations, program mastering and standards conversion, infomercial customization and delivery, master tape and film storage, library distribution services and video integration and delivery services. Private PSI developed its own tape tracking and vault library management system and a system for infomercial customization and voice-over integration.

From its inception, Private PSI was undercapitalized. It funded its initial operations through the factoring of its accounts receivable. The Company was unable to commence operations in the television programming services business and ultimately, substantially all of its assets were sold and it discontinued its operations.

Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization

On June 23, 1995, the Company filed a Petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. As of December 1995, the Company had sold most of its assets, reduced its debt and terminated its operations. By that date, there was no trading market in the Company’s securities. In 1996, Troika Capital, Inc. (“Troika”), a Utah corporation, agreed to assist the Company in developing a Plan of Reorganization which would provide the Company, its shareholders and creditors with at least a possibility of recouping all or some of their investment in the Company or the debts owed to them by the Company. Troika is a privately-owned Utah corporation which has been involved in various company

formations, mergers and financings.

Mark A. Scharmann, the President of Troika, and now the President of the Company, and his affiliates, were shareholders of the Company and creditors of the Company at the time the Company commenced its bankruptcy proceeding. Mr. Scharmann was a founder of the Company in 1986 and was an original shareholder of the Company. At the time the Company acquired Private PSI, he resigned as an officer and director of the Company but remained a shareholder and later became a creditor of the Company. Many of the investors in the Company are friends and acquaintances of Mr. Scharmann. The Company believed that if it were to liquidate, there would be a total loss to creditors and shareholders. Because of his own equity and debt investment in the Company, and his relationship with other shareholders and creditors of the Company, Mr. Scharmann agreed, through Troika, to develop a business plan for the Company and to attempt to assist the Company in carrying out such plan.

The Plan of Reorganization developed for the Company by Troika was essentially as follows:


	1.	Eliminate all non-tax liabilities of the Company through the conversion of debt into equity.

	2.	Replace the current officers and directors of the Company with new management. The new management includes the following: Mark Scharmann, Dan Price and David Knudson.

	3.	File all required Securities and Exchange Commission reports which may be necessary to bring the Debtor current in its filing requirements under Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act. File all SEC reports which become due in the future.

	4.	File any tax returns which are in arrears and file all required tax returns and reports which become due in the future.

	5.	Use existing cash of the Company to pay quarterly tax payments and for working capital.

	6.	Prepare and bring current, the financial statements of the Company

	7.	Attempt to raise additional cash to be used to fund quarterly tax payments and for working capital.

	8.	Locate a private-company which is seeking to become a public company by merging with the Company.

	9.	Assist the Company in completing any merger which is located and which the Board of Directors deems appropriate.

	10.	Assist the post-merged company with shareholder relations, financial public relations and with attempts to interest a broker-dealer in developing a public market for the Company’s common stock so that the Company’s shareholders (including creditors whose debt was converted into shares of the Company’s common stock) may ultimately have a opportunity to liquidate their shares for value in market or in privately negotiated transactions.

The Plan and Disclosure Statement was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on May 28, 1997. The Effective Date of the Plan was June 8, 1997.

Post Confirmation Date Activities

Since the Confirmation of the Plan of Reorganization the following have occurred:


	1.	Pre-Confirmation Date non-tax debt in the amount of approximately $1,458,000 was converted into 1,458,005 shares of the Company common stock.



	2.	The Company has audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1995 through 2008.

	3.	Tax liabilities to the Internal Revenue Service are approximately $293,448 as of December 31, 2008.

	4.	The Company effected a 1-for-6 reverse split of its issued an outstanding common stock in order to establish a more desirable capital structure for potential merger partners.

	5.	The Company changed its name to Pacific Alliance Corporation.

	6.	The Company’s common stock is now quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the trading symbol PALC.

	7.	The Company filed an application for approval of secondary trading in its common stock with the Division of Securities of the State of Utah. An Order Granting such application was issued by the Utah Division of Securities which was effective through March 31, 1999.

	8.	The Company has prepared and filed periodic reports through the period ending March 31, 2009.

	9.	Effective February 22, 2000 - the Bankruptcy Court entered an Order of Final Decree closing the Bankruptcy Case.

Forward Outlook and Risks

This periodic report contains and incorporates by reference certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act with respect to results of our operations and businesses. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this periodic report, including those regarding market trends, our financial position, business strategy, projected costs, and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In general, such statements are identified by the use of forward- looking words or phrases including, but not limited to, “intended,” “will,” “should,” “may,” “expects,” “expected,” “anticipates,” and “anticipated” or the negative thereof or variations thereon or similar terminology. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Because forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, our actual results could differ materially.

All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to Pacific Alliance are expressly qualified in their entirety by the Cautionary Statements. we disclaim, however, any intent or obligation to update our forward-looking statements.

Plan of Operation

Our current plan of operation is to acquire another operating company. It is likely that any acquisition will be a “reverse merger” acquisition whereby we acquire a larger company by issuing shares of our common stock to the shareholders of the larger company. Although we would be the surviving or parent company from a corporate law standpoint, the shareholders of the larger company would be our controlling shareholders and the larger

company would be treated as the survivor or parent company from an accounting point of view. It can be expected that any company which may desire to be acquired by us will do so as method of potentially becoming a public company more quickly and less expensively than if such company undertook its own public offering. Even if we are able to acquire another company, there can be no assurance that we will ever operate at a profit.

Recent Developments

On June 26, 2009, we entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Superior Filtration Products, LLC, a Florida limited liability Company (“Superior”), and the members of Superior (“Superior Members”). A copy of the Exchange Agreement was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to our Form 8-K filed on June 30, 2009.

Superior is in the business of manufacturing and marketing air filtration products. Superior offers a broad line of air filtration products and related equipment and hardware. These products are marketed through both big box retail and independent distributor networks to the end users. Superior began operations in January of 2008. Superior designs, manufactures and markets a broad range of air filtration products, including (i) high-end High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters, with at least 99.97% efficiency, and Absolute Isolation Barriers for the creation of synthesized atmospheres to control manufacturing environments and for the absolute control and containment of contaminants and toxic gases in certain manufacturing processes: (ii) mid-range filters for individual and commercial use, which fall under specifications which are categorized by efficiency ratings established by the American Society of Heating Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers ("ASHRAE"); and (iii) standard-grade, low cost filters typically off-the-shelf for standard residential and commercial furnace and air conditioning applications. Superior’s headquarters are located in Ogden, Utah.

Pursuant to, and subject to, the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agreement, we intend to acquire all of the issued and outstanding Superior membership interests in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock (the “Acquisition”). If the Acquisition is closed, of which there can be no assurance, Superior will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific and the Superior Members will be controlling stockholders of Pacific. The 1,000,000 Shares of Pacific Series A Preferred Stock to be issued in the Acquisition, will be convertible into 606,600,000 shares of Pacific common stock subject to adjustment for any future reverse stock split. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock may not be converted into common stock until Pacific either completes a reverse stock split or increases its authorized capital or both. Pacific anticipates that in the future Pacific will seek stockholder approval to effect a 1-for-20 reverse stock split. If such reverse stock split were to occur, of which there can be no assurance, the 606,600,000 shares of Pacific common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into Pacific common stock, would be reduced to 30,330,000 shares of Pacific common Stock.

We anticipate that we will attempt to raise additional cash capital from the sale of our securities in order to repay debt and to be used for working capital in Superior’s operations. We are also discussing the conversion of some of our outstanding debt into shares of our common stock. The exact terms of such debt conversion, the amount of debt to be converted and the number of shares of our common stock to be issued in connection with the debt conversion, has not been determined.

We anticipate that if we are able to convert a portion of our outstanding debt into equity and raise additional cash from the sale of securities, and assuming the Exchange Agreement is closed, the Superior Members will own more than 80% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock assuming they convert their Series A Preferred Stock into common stock.

The closing of the Exchange Agreement is subject to numerous conditions and there can be no assurance that the Acquisition will be completed.

The Exchange Agreement provides that if the Acquisition is closed, our three current directors will remain as directors and two additional directors designated by Superior’s Members will be appointed as directors. If the Acquisition is closed, we anticipate that our current President, Vice President and Treasurer will resign from their positions and that Steven Clark will be appointed as our CEO, President and Treasurer. Our current Secretary, David Knudson, is expected to remain as our corporate secretary.

Sycamore Ventures, LLC, Series 1 (“Sycamore”), an affiliate of our current president, Mark Scharmann, and our current Secretary/Treasurer, David Knudson, has agreed to loan Superior $250,000 for Superior’s use as working capital prior to the closing of the Exchange Agreement. Such loan is to be secured by the receivables, general intangibles and chattel paper of Superior. In exchange for Sycamore agreeing to make such loan to Superior, we have agreed to issue Sycamore warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.05 per share. Such warrants will be exercisable for a term of five years. If we complete a 1-for-20 reverse stock split as contemplated, the Warrant will entitle Sycamore to purchase 25,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $1.00 per share.

The Exchange Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, pre-closing covenants, and closing conditions, including approval of the Exchange and related transactions. The foregoing description of the Exchange Agreement is a summary only, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Exchange Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to our Form 8-K filed on June 30, 2009. The Exchange Agreement provided for a closing and a termination date of July 31, 2009. The parties have agreed to amend the Exchange Agreement to extend the closing date and the termination date to October 31, 2009, as disclosed in our Form 8-K filed on August 5, 2009.

Mark A. Scharmann and David Knudson, officers and directors of Pacific, are members and affiliates of Sycamore Ventures, LLC, Series 1, a Utah limited liability company (“Sycamore”). Mr. Scharmann is the managing member of Sycamore. Sycamore has, and will, enter into various agreements with Superior which provide that Sycamore will attempt to assist Superior in the marketing of its filter and other products by referring potential customers to Superior. Such agreements have, and will, provide that Sycamore will be compensated by Superior with commissions for products actually purchased by customers who were referred to Superior by Sycamore and its members. The commissions’ payable by Superior to Sycamore will range from 5% to 10% of the net income from products sold by Superior to the customers referred by Sycamore and its members. The payment of such commissions will be solely for actual product sales and not attributed to the sale of any securities. Such commissions will be payable even if the Offering or the acquisition of Superior is not completed. As members of Sycamore, Mr. Scharmann and Mr. Knudson will share in commissions actually paid to Sycamore by Superior.

Sycamore intends to assist Superior in its marketing efforts both before and after the closing of the Superior acquisition. The relationship between Sycamore and Superior relating to commissions for product sales, may result in a conflict of interest for Mr. Scharmann and Mr. Knudson.

Other than as disclosed above, there were and are no material relationships between us, or our affiliates and Superior, other than as contemplated by the Exchange Agreement.

Results of Operations

We have not conducted any active operations since our Confirmation Date and generated no revenue during the reporting period ended June 30, 2009. We anticipate that we will not generate any revenues until we complete the transaction contemplated by the Exchange Agreement described above or acquire or merge with another company.

We had total expenses of $2,042,102 for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 compared to $104,762 for the six month period ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $1,937,340, a substantial increase due primarily to a large increase in interest expense the recording of a change in derivative liability, plus increases in compensation expense and professional fees. In accordance with the modified joint plan or reorganization, management is compensated on an hourly basis at a rate of $75 per hour. Accordingly, our total compensation expense (stock issued for services) for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 was $67,755 compared to $32,100 for the six month period ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $35,655. Such compensation is paid through the issuance of common stock valued at $.10 per share based on the reorganization plan approved by the Bankruptcy court.

Our total interest expense was $1,190,705 for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 compared to $26,698 for year six month period ended June 30, 2008. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we issued convertible notes bearing an annual interest rate of 8% and which are convertible within six months from the date of each note. The

notes contain a convertible feature allowing the holder to convert all or a portion of the outstanding balance into our common stock. The accounting treatment is explained in Note 5 to the attached financial statements. Based on the restated calculations, we have recorded charges to interest expenses of $804,881 and $350,710 at the time of issuance, in the quarters ended June 30, 2009, and March 31, 2009, respectively. We also recorded other income of $254,709 because of the change in derivative liability at March 31, 2009 due to a decrease in the Company’s stock price at March 31, 2009, and other expense of $704,609 because of the change in derivative liability at June 30, 2009 due to an increase in the Company’s stock price at June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2009 the amount of the convertible notes outstanding totaled $802,000, all of which is short-term convertible debt.

Relating to total expenses, during the quarter ended June 30, 2002, we passed a resolution to pay rent, office and secretarial services to one of our stockholders at a rate of $500 per month.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2009, our total assets consisted of $404,688 in cash and receivables. We have limited cash and we are dependent upon loans and advances from our management and others to fund our operating expenses pending the completion of a merger or acquisition. As of June 30, 2009, we had total liabilities of $3,494,693 of which $358,995 related to tax liabilities incurred prior to the Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization. At June 30, 2009, a total of $1,142,514 of our liabilities related to funds borrowed by us from our management and others (not taking into account the derivative liability related to the convertible notes payable). This number represents an increase of $481,825 since December 31, 2008. One of our officers advanced $74,100 to us during the six months ended June 30, 2009. We repaid the officer $266,147 during the six months ended June 30, 2009. These advances bear interest at 10% and have no maturity date. The balance of advances was $123,705 and $315,752 at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

In the event we are able to locate an acquisition candidate, we anticipate that some or all our debt to management and others will be converted into additional shares of common stock. The conversion price, if a conversion of debt was to occur, of which there can be no assurance, has not been established.

We intend to continue paying for various filing fees and professional fees relating to our reporting obligations and to fund the costs which may arise from seeking new business opportunities by borrowing funds from our management and others.

Because all business operations have been terminated, we have taken steps to minimize our operational expenses. We have no source of revenue and it is likely that we will be required to raise additional capital in order to attract a potential acquisition partner. We do not know how much additional capital will be required and if our capital requirements will exceed the financial resources of our management or others that have advanced funds for our operations. We may seek alternatives sources for financing. In either case, we can give no assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient additional capital to continue as a shell company. It is also likely that any future acquisition will be made through the issuance of shares of our common stock which will result in the dilution of the percentage ownership of the current shareholders.

The auditors’ report included with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 contains a going concern qualification, which provides that our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon it raising additional capital. We will continue to be an inactive company unless and until we complete the Exchange Agreement with Superior as described above or raise additional capital and acquire an operating company. There can be no assurance that either will occur.

Critical Accounting Policies

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discuss the Company’s Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We have terminated our previous operations and such operations are treated as discontinued operations for financial statement purposes.

We anticipate that in the future, the preparation of our financial statements will require management to make estimates and assumptions that will affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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. On an ongoing basis, management will evaluate its estimates and assumptions, including those related to inventory, income taxes, revenue recognition and restructuring initiatives. We anticipate that management will base its estimates and judgments on historical experience of the operations we may acquire and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, will affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements following the completion of an acquisition:

Inventory. The Company will be required to reduce the stated value of its inventory for obsolescence or impairment in an amount equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and the estimated market value, based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual future demand or market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional reductions in stated value may be required.

Income Taxes. In determining the carrying value of the Company’s net deferred tax assets, the Company will be required to assess the likelihood of sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions, based on estimates and assumptions, to realize the benefit of these assets. If these estimates and assumptions change in the future, the Company may record a reduction in the valuation allowance, resulting in an income tax benefit in the Company’s Statements of Operations. Management will be required to evaluate the realizability of the deferred tax assets and assesses the valuation allowance quarterly.

Goodwill and Other Long-Lived Asset Valuations. In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 141, “Business Combinations”, and SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 with early adoption permitted for companies with fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2001. We currently have no intangible assets. At such time as we have intangible assets, we will adopt the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets, Under the new rules, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the statements. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.

Revenue Recognition. At such time as we have revenues from operations, we will adopt revenue recognitions policies consistent with generally acceptable accounting standards.

Stock-Based Compensation. Equity securities issued for services rendered have been accounted for at the fair market value of the securities on the date of authorization. On January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS 123(R)”) which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based payments to employees and Directors, including employee stock options and stock purchases related to our employee stock option and award plans. SFAS 123(R) supersedes our previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) for periods beginning in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) relating to SFAS 123(R). We have applied the provisions of SAB 107 in our adoption of SFAS 123(R). We adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of January 1, 2006, the first day of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. SFAS 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in our Statement of Operations. Under SFAS 123(R), stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. At June 30, 2009, we have no such outstanding options or warrants, nor were there any such options or

warrants granted during the six month period then ended. Therefore we did not recognize any stock-based compensation expense under SFAS 123(R) for the reporting period.

Interest Rate Risk

We currently have debt and will undoubtedly incur debt to finance our operations. We anticipate that a substantial amount of our future debt and the associated interest expense will be subject to changes in the level of interest rates. Increases in interest rates would result in incremental interest expense.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Except for the payment of accrued management compensation, accrued taxes, rent and other payables, all of which are described in the financial statements attached hereto, we have no contractual commitments or obligations.

Inflation

The Company does not believe that inflation will negatively impact its business plans.

Other Matters

The Company will not effect any merger unless it first obtains approval from its shareholders. In connection with obtaining shareholder approval of a proposed merger, the Company will distribute a Proxy, Notice of Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement which contains information about the proposed acquisition transaction. Such information will likely include audited financial statements and other financial information about the acquisition target which meets the requirements of Form 8-K as promulgated under the Securities Exchange of 1934, as amended, resumes of potential new management, description of potential risk factors which shareholders should consider in connection with their voting on the proposed acquisition and a description of the business operations of the acquisition target.

Troika and its affiliate will vote all of their shares of the Company’s common stock for or against any merger proposal in the same ratio which the shares owned by other shareholders are voted. This will permit other shareholders to be able to effectively determine whether the Company acquires any particular Operating Company. The merger will be effected only if a majority of the other shareholders attending the meeting of shareholders in person and/or by proxy, vote in favor of such proposed merger. The shares of Troika and its affiliates will be included for purposes of determining whether a quorum of shareholders is present at the meeting.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is a “Smaller Reporting Company” as defined under §229.10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K and is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any

controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
