(a development stage company)
Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2009
Note A - Background and Description of Business
BTHC VIII, Inc. (“Company”) was formed on March 31, 2006, and incorporated on August 7, 2006, in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware to effect the reincorporation of BTHC VIII, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, mandated by the plan of reorganization discussed below.
The Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code on November 29, 2004 created the combination of a change in majority ownership and voting control - that is, loss of control by the then-existing stockholders, a court-approved reorganization, and a reliable measure of the entity’s fair value - resulting in a fresh start, creating, in substance, a new reporting entity. Accordingly, the Company, post bankruptcy, has no significant assets,
liabilities or operating activities. Therefore, the Company, as a new reporting entity, qualifies as a “development stage enterprise” as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 7, as amended and a shell company as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, (Securities Act), and Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (Exchange Act).
On February 12, 2009, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), with Sino-America Ventures, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SAV”), and all of the shareholders of SAV. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the stockholders of SAV transferred 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of SAV in exchange for 2,815,000 newly issued shares of our common stock that, in the aggregate, constituted
approximately 90% of our issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully-diluted basis as of and immediately after the consummation of such exchange. As a result of this transaction, 3,127,730 shares of our common stock are currently issued and outstanding.
SAV was organized on February 10, 2009 as a Delaware corporation and was formed to seek and identify a privately-held operating company located in Asia desiring to become a publicly held company with access to United States capital markets by combining with us through a reverse merger or acquisition transaction.
In accordance with the confirmed plan of reorganization and as a result of the share exchange transaction with SAV, the Company’s current business plan is to locate and combine with an existing, privately-held Asian-based company which is profitable or, in management's view, has growth potential, irrespective of the industry in which it is engaged, desiring to become a publicly held company with access to United States capital markets through a combination transaction with the
Company. 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 enterprises becoming a publicly-held corporation.
Note B - Bankruptcy Action
Commencing on March 28, 2003, BTHC VIII, LLC filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Act in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of Texas - Dallas Division (“Bankruptcy Court”). The Company’s bankruptcy action was part of a combined case (Case No. 03-33152-HDH-11) encompassing the following related entities: Ballantrae Healthcare, LLC; Ballantrae Texas, LLC; Ballantrae New Mexico, LLC; Ballantrae
Missouri, LLC; Ballantrae Illinois, LLC; BTHC I, LLC; BTHC II, LLC; BTHC III, LLC; BTHC IV, LLC; BTHC V, LLC; BTHC VI, LLC; BTHC VIII, LLC; BTHC VIIII, LLC; BTHC X, LLC; BTHC XI, LLC; BTHC XII, LLC; BTHC XIV, LLC; BTHC XV, LLC; BTHC XVII, LLC; BTHC XIX, LLC; BTHC XX, LLC; BTHC XXI, LLC; BNMHC I, LLC; BMOHC II, LLC; BILHC I, LLC, BILHC II, LLC; BILHC III, LLC; BILHC IV, LLC; BILHC V, LLC.
All assets, liabilities and other claims against the Company and it’s affiliated entities were combined for the purpose of distribution of funds to creditors. Each of the entities otherwise remained separate corporate entities. From the commencement of the bankruptcy proceedings through November 29, 2004 (the effective date of the Plan of Reorganization), all secured claims and/or administrative claims during this period were satisfied through either direct payment or
negotiation.

Note B - Bankruptcy Action - Continued
A Plan of Reorganization was approved by the United States Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of Texas - Dallas Division on November 29, 2004. The Plan of Reorganization, which contemplates the Company entering into a reverse merger transaction, provided that certain identified claimants as well as unsecured creditors, in accordance with the allocation provisions of the Plan of Reorganization, and the Company’s new controlling stockholder would
receive “new” shares of the Company’s post-reorganization common stock, pursuant to Section 1145(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. As a result of the Plan’s approval, all liens, security interests, encumbrances and other interests, as defined in the Plan of Reorganization, attach to the creditor’s trust. Specific injunctions prohibit any of these claims from being asserted against the Company prior to the contemplated reverse merger.
The cancellation of all existing shares at the date of the bankruptcy filing and the issuance of “new” shares of the reorganized entity caused an issuance of shares of common stock and a related change of control of the Company with more than 50.0% of the “new” shares being held by persons and/or entities which were not pre-bankruptcy stockholders. Accordingly, per American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 90-7,
“Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code”, the Company adopted “fresh-start” accounting as of the bankruptcy discharge date whereby all continuing assets and liabilities of the Company were restated to the fair market value. As of November 29, 2004, by virtue of the confirmed Plan of Reorganization, the only asset of the Company was approximately $1,000 in cash due from the Bankruptcy Estate.
Note C - Preparation of Financial Statements
The Company follows the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and management has established the Company’s year-end to be as 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
During interim periods, the Company follows the accounting policies set forth in this filing. 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-Q, 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, 2009.

Notes to Financial Statements - Continued
March 31, 2009
Note D - Going Concern Uncertainty
The Company has no operating history, limited cash on hand, no assets and a business plan with inherent risk. Because of these factors, the Company’s auditors have issued an audit opinion on the Company’s financial statements which includes a statement describing our going concern status. This means, in the auditor’s opinion, substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern exists at the date of their opinion.
The Company's ultimate 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. Further, the Company faces considerable risk in its business plan and a potential shortfall of funding due to our inability to raise capital in the equity securities market. 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 additional funds loaned by management and/or significant stockholders.
The Company’s business plan is to seek an acquisition or merger with a private operating company located in Asia which offers an opportunity for growth and possible appreciation of our stockholders’ investment in the then issued and outstanding common stock. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully consummate an acquisition or merger with a private operating company or, if successful, that any acquisition or merger will result in the
appreciation of our stockholders’ investment in the then outstanding common stock.
The Company anticipates offering future sales of equity securities. 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.
The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock and 40,000,000 shares of common stock. The Company’s ability to issue preferred stock may limit the Company’s ability to obtain debt or equity financing as well as impede potential takeover of the Company, which takeover may be in the best interest of stockholders. The Company’s ability to issue these authorized but unissued securities may also
negatively impact our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of our debt or equity securities.
In the event that insufficient working capital to maintain the corporate entity and implement our business plan is not available, the Company’s majority stockholder intends to maintain the corporate status of the Company and provide all necessary working capital support on the Company's behalf. 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. Further, the Company is at the mercy of future economic trends and business operations for the Company’s majority stockholder to have the resources available to support the Company.
In such a restricted cash flow scenario, the Company would be unable to complete its business plan steps, and would, instead, delay all cash intensive activities. Without necessary cash flow, the Company may become dormant during the next twelve months, or until such time as necessary funds could be raised in the equity securities market.
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 its 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.
Note E - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
1. Cash and cash equivalents
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.

(a development stage company)
Notes to Financial Statements - Continued
March 31, 2009
Note E - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
2. Organization and Formation costs
The Company has adopted the provisions of AICPA Statement of Position 98-5, “Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities” whereby all costs incurred with the incorporation and organization of the Company were charged to operations as incurred.
3. Income taxes
The Company files income tax returns in the United States of America and may file, as applicable and appropriate, various state(s). The Company does not anticipate any examinations of returns to be filed in future periods.
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. At March 31, 2009, 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 generally 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.
The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. FASB Interpretation No. 48 requires the recognition of potential liabilities as a result of management’s acceptance of potentially uncertain positions for income tax treatment on a “more-likely-than-not” probability of an assessment upon examination by a respective taxing authority. As a result of the implementation of Interpretation 48, the Company did not incur any liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
As of March 31, 2009, 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.
4. Income (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.
As of March 31, 2009, and subsequent thereto, the Company had no outstanding stock warrants, options or convertible securities which could be considered as dilutive for purposes of the loss per share calculation.
5. Pending and/or New Accounting Pronouncements
The Company is of the opinion that any pending accounting pronouncements, either in the adoption phase or not yet required to be adopted, will not have a significant impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Note F - 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.
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 G - Acquisition of Sino-America Ventures, Inc.
On February 12, 2009, the Company entered into the Share Exchange Agreement with SAV and all of the shareholders of SAV. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the shareholders of SAV transferred 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of SAV in exchange for 2,815,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock that, in the aggregate, constituted 90% of our issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully-diluted basis as of
and immediately after the consummation of such exchange.
The Company’s business plan is to continue to seek and identify a privately-held Asian-based operating company desiring to become a publicly held company with access to United States capital markets by combining with the Company through a reverse merger or acquisition transaction; however, through this acquisition, the Company intends to focus its efforts on entities located in Asia.
The goodwill of approximately $6,500 arising from the acquisition consists largely of the synergies and access to new business contacts that the management of SAV brings to the Company in order to more effectively implement the Company’s business plan. It is anticipated that goodwill may not be deductible for Federal and State income taxes.
The following table summarizes the consideration paid for SAV and the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognized at the February 12, 2009 acquisition date.
Equity interest (2,815,000 shares of common stock) $ 7,500 Fair value of total consideration transferred $ 7,500 Acquisition-related costs (included in professional fees in the accompanying financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2009) $ 20,000 Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed Cash $ 1,000 Total net identifiable assets 1,000 Goodwill 6,500 $ 7,500
The fair value of the 2,815,000 shares given in consideration for the acquisition of SAV was determined using approximately the average of the transaction value of the shares of the Company issued at the date of the bankruptcy settlement ($1,000) using both the initial number of shares (500,000) and the post-reverse split number of shares outstanding (312,700). There were no contingent consideration arrangements and no contingent liabilities assumed by the Company. SAV had no operations prior to the acquisition.

Pursuant to the First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization proposed by the Debtors and affirmed by the U. S. Bankruptcy Court - Northern District of Texas - Dallas Division on November 29, 2004, the Company “will include the issuance of a sufficient number of Plan shares to meet the requirements of the Plan. Such number is estimated to be approximately 500,000 Plan Shares relative to each Post Confirmation Debtor. The Plan Shares shall all be of the
same class.” As provided in the Plan, 70.0% of the Plan Shares of the Company were issued to the Company’s then-controlling stockholder, in exchange for the release of its Allowed Administrative Claims and for the performance of certain services and the payment of certain fees related to the anticipated reverse merger or acquisition transactions described in the Plan. The remaining 30.0% of the Plan Shares of the Company were issued to other holders of various claims as
defined in the Order Confirming First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization.
On October 15, 2007, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation through the filing of a Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware for the purpose of effecting a 1-for-1.6 reverse split of its $0.001 par value common stock. This action was approved on September 12, 2007 by written consent of stockholders holding a majority of the Company's outstanding Common Stock in lieu of a special meeting. As a result of the reverse split, the
Company then had 312,730 shares of Common Stock outstanding.
On February 12, 2009, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with SAV and all of the shareholders of SAV. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the stockholders of SAV transferred 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of SAV in exchange for 2,815,000 newly issued shares of our common stock that, in the aggregate, constituted approximately 90% of our issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully-diluted basis as of and immediately after the
consummation of such exchange. As a result of this transaction, 3,127,730 shares of our common stock are currently issued and outstanding.

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-Q 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 three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 or for the period from November 29, 2004 (date of bankruptcy settlement) through March 31, 2009.
General and administrative expenses for the respective three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were approximately $24,000 and $3,200. Of the 2009 expenses, approximately $20,000 were incremental expenses incurred in the acquisition of Sino-America Ventures, Inc. The Company may or may not experience increases in expenses in future periods as the Company explores various options for the implementation of its business plan. However, at this time, the Company has not identified
any business combination targets and has not opened discussions with any such target. Further, it is anticipated that future expenditure levels may increase as the Company intends to fully comply with its periodic reporting requirements.
Earnings per share for the respective three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 and for the cumulative period from November 29, 2004 (date of bankruptcy settlement) through March 31, 2009, respectively, were $(0.01), $(0.01) and $(0.15), based on the weighted-average shares issued and outstanding at the end of each respective period.
On February 12, 2009, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (“Share Exchange Agreement”) with Sino- America Ventures, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SAV”), and all of the shareholders of SAV. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the shareholders of SAV transferred 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of SAV in exchange for 2,815,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock that, in the aggregate, constituted
90% of our issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully-diluted basis as of and immediately after the consummation of such exchange.
In accordance with the confirmed plan of reorganization and as a result of the share exchange transaction with SAV, our current business plan is to locate and combine with an existing, privately-held Asian-based company which is profitable or, in management's view, has growth potential, irrespective of the industry in which it is engaged, desiring to become a publicly held company with access to United States capital markets through a combination transaction with us. However, we do 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 our common stock for stock or assets or any other form which will result in the combined enterprises becoming a publicly-held corporation.
The fair value of the 2,815,000 shares given in consideration for the acquisition of SAV was determined using approximately the average of the transaction value of the shares of the Company issued at the date of the bankruptcy settlement ($1,000) using both the initial number of shares (500,000) and the post-reverse split number of shares outstanding (312,700). There were no contingent consideration arrangements and no contingent liabilities assumed by the Company. SAV had no operations
prior to the acquisition.
The goodwill of approximately $6,500 arising from the acquisition consists largely of the synergies and access to new business contacts that the management of SAV brings to the Company in order to more effectively implement the Company’s business plan. It is anticipated that goodwill may not be deductible for Federal and State income taxes.
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 completes a reverse acquisition transaction with an operating entity.
At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had working capital of approximately $(58,000) and $(35,000), 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.
(3) Plan of Business
General
In accordance with the confirmed plan of reorganization and as a result of the share exchange transaction with SAV, our current business plan is to locate and combine with an existing, privately-held Asian-based company which is profitable or, in management's view, has growth potential, irrespective of the industry in which it is engaged, desiring to become a publicly held company with access to United States capital markets through a combination
transaction with us. However, we do 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 our common stock for stock or assets or any other form which will result in the combined enterprises 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 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 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 have been a defendant in a civil action which resulted in a final judgment 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.
(4) 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.
(5) Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note D of our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements
and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.
Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
In future periods, the Company may become subject to certain market risks, including changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. At the present time, the Company has no identified exposure and does not undertake any specific actions to limit exposures, if any.
Item 4 - Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of March 31, 2009. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls
There were no significant changes (including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses) in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
