NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE
1 - Nature of business and significant accounting policies
Nature of
business
Trist
Holdings, Inc., (“Trist,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was incorporated
in the State of Delaware as Camryn Information Services, Inc., on May 13, 1997.
We operated for a brief period of time before it ceased operations on February
25, 1999 when it forfeited its charter for failure to designate a registered
agent. We remained dormant until 2004 when it renewed its operations with the
filing of a Certificate of Renewal and Revival of Charter with the State of
Delaware on October 29, 2004. On November 3, 2004, we filed a Certificate of
Amendment and our name was formally changed from Camryn Information Services,
Inc. to iStorage Networks, Inc. Such change became effective on November 8,
2004.
On
January 26, 2006, iStorage issued 8,200,000 shares of restricted stock
(post-split) in exchange for all of the assets and liabilities of Landbank, LLC
(“LLC”), a company organized in the State of California in December 2004, and
$140,000 in cash. iStorage changed its name to Landbank Group, Inc. on January
27, 2006. The former members of LLC became approximately 90% owners
of the Company.
The
exchange of shares with Landbank, LLC was accounted for as a reverse acquisition
under the purchase method of accounting since the stockholders of Landbank, LLC
obtained control of the entity. Accordingly, the merger of the two companies was
recorded as a recapitalization of LLC, where as LLC was treated as the
continuing entity. LLC made bulk acquisitions of parcels of
land, primarily through the real property tax lien foreclosure process. The bulk
acquisitions were then divided into smaller parcels for resale.
On
December 31, 2007, we closed the transactions with Landbank Acquisition LLC
(“Investor”) and Family Products LLC, a member of Investor. Pursuant to the
Agreement, the following transactions (the “Transactions”) occurred at the
closing: (1) we transferred ownership of LLC to Investor (the “LLC
Transfer”), (2) we issued 79,311,256 new shares of common stock to Investor to
increase Investor’s current equity holdings in Company of approximately
fifty-five percent (55%) to approximately ninety-five percent (95%) (the “Share
Issuance”), (3) Investor agreed to provide full indemnity us for LLC’s prior
operations and liabilities, (4) LLC assigned $500,000 in debt to Company
which was owed to Investor (the “Note Assignment”), (5) LLC retained
approximately $500,000 in debt owed to third parties and approximately $2.5
million in debt owed to Investor, and (6) we retained approximately $5,000 in
cash for our working capital.
As the
Transactions were among related parties, no gain or loss was recorded on the
disposal of Landbank, LLC.
Pursuant
to the Transactions, on December 31, 2007, we changed our name to ‘Trist
Holdings, Inc.’. The authorized shares capital was also increased from
100,000,000 shares to 2,000,000,000 shares.
Summary of significant
accounting policies
The
following summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of
these financial statements is in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Basis of
Presentation
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
The
unaudited financial statements have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information
furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to
fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2007
included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The results of the nine months
periods ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2008.
Use of
estimates
The
process of preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding
certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates
primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the
financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ
from estimated amounts.
Segment
reporting
Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 ("SFAS 131"), "Disclosure about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" requires use of the
"management approach" model for segment reporting. The management approach model
is based on the way a company's management organizes segments within the company
for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments
are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management
structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company. SFAS
131 has no effect on our financial statements as substantially all of our
operations were conducted in one industry segment.
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
Statement
of financial accounting standard No. 107, Disclosures about fair value of
financial instruments, requires that we disclose estimated fair values of
financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the statements of
financial position for assets and liabilities qualifying, as financial
instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Recently issued accounting
pronouncements
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in
Financial Statements”, which is an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin
(“ARB”) No. 51. This statement clarifies that a noncontrolling
interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the entity that should be
reported as equity in the financial statements. This statement
changes the way the income statement is presented, thus requiring net
income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both
parent and the noncontrolling interest. This statement is effective
for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning
on or after December 15, 2008. Based on current conditions, the
Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a significant impact on
its results of operations or financial position.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business
Combinations.” This statement replaces FASB Statement No. 141,
“Business Combinations.” This statement retains the fundamental requirements in
SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called
the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer
to be identified for each business combination. This statement defines the
acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the
business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the
acquirer achieves control. This statement requires an acquirer to recognize the
assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the
acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date,
with limited exceptions specified in the statement. This statement applies
prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or
after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after
December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have
a significant impact on its results of operations or financial
position.
In March,
2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities”. The new standard is intended to improve
financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by
requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their
effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application
encouraged. The new standard also improves transparency about the location and
amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s financial statements; how
derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under
Statement 133; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect
its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.
FASB
Statement No. 161 achieves these improvements by requiring disclosure of the
fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular
format. It also provides more information about an entity’s liquidity by
requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk–related.
Finally, it requires cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial
statement users to locate important. Based on current conditions, the Company
does not expect the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a significant impact on its
results of operations or financial position.
In May 0f
2008, FSAB issued SFASB No.162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. The pronouncement mandates the GAAP hierarchy reside in
the accounting literature as opposed to the audit literature. This
has the practical impact of elevating FASB Statements of Financial Accounting
Concepts in the GAAP hierarchy. This pronouncement will become
effective 60 days following SEC approval. The company does not
believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.
In May of
2008, FASB issued SFASB No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance
Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60. The scope of
the statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance)
contracts. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 31, 2008. The company does not believe this
pronouncement will impact its financial statements.
In June
2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted
in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (FSP EITF
03-6-1). FSP EITF 03-6-1 clarified that all outstanding unvested share-based
payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends participate in
undistributed earnings with common shareholders. Awards of this nature are
considered participating securities and the two-class method of computing basic
and diluted earnings per share must be applied. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The company is currently
assessing the impact of FSP EITF 03-6-1 on its financial position and results of
operations.
In June
2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument
(or an Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (EITF 07-5). EITF
07-5 provides that an entity should use a two step approach to evaluate whether
an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its
own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and
settlement provisions. It also clarifies on the impact of foreign currency
denominated strike prices and market-based employee stock option valuation
instruments on the evaluation. EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008. The company is currently assessing the impact of EITF
07-5 on its financial position and results of operations.
In June
2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 08-3, “Accounting for Lessees for
Maintenance Deposits Under Lease Arrangements” (EITF 08-3). EITF 08-3 provides
guidance for accounting for nonrefundable maintenance deposits. It also provides
revenue recognition accounting guidance for the lessor. EITF 08-3 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The company is currently
assessing the impact of EITF 08-3 on its financial position and results of
operations.
NOTE

the Agreement for the limited purpose of providing indemnification to the
Company thereunder. At the time the Agreement was executed, and

$500,000.
Investor
and the Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement between them
at the closing (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the
Investor received certain demand and piggyback registration rights with respect

$655,341..
NOTE
4 – Related-party transactions
Effective

its officers effective the same date. Additionally, Mr. Stoppenhagen
was also appointed Interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company effective
November 15, 2007 in light of the current Chief Financial Officer’s
resignation.
On
September 27, 2007, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with Venor

NOTE
5 - 2006 Stock Incentive Plan
We have
elected to adopt the detailed method provided in SFAS No. 123(R) for calculating
the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (“APIC pool”)
related to the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation, and to
determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool and Statements of Cash Flows of
the income tax effects of employee stock-based compensation awards that are
outstanding upon the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).
On March
13, 2007, we granted an option to its prior Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) to
purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.02 per
share. The option vests over a four (4) year period, with 25 % vesting of the
shares vesting on March 12, 2008 and the remaining shares vesting at 1/48th per
month thereafter until the option is vested and exercisable with respect to 100%
of the shares. The term of the option is ten (10) years, with an expiration date
of March 12, 2017. The option grant was valued at $2,000 as of the date of grant
using the Black-Sholes option pricing model in accordance with FAS 123R using
the following assumptions: volatility of 469.34%, Wall Street Journal prime
interest rate of 4.69%, zero dividend yield, and an expected life of four (4)
years. We expensed the entire $2,000 value of the option during the three month
period ended March 31, 2007.
On August
10, 2007, we terminated all of its option grants, which consisted of grants to
four (4) of our five (5) Board members and its Chief Financial
Officer.
NOTE
6 - Going Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of the
company as a going concern. However, we have an accumulated deficit of
$2,401,659 as of September 30, 2008. Our total liabilities exceeded its total
assets by $638,341 as of September 30, 2008. In view of the matters described
above, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in
the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon our continued operations, which
in turn is dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital, obtain
financing and succeed in seeking out suitable candidates for a business
combination with a private company. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset
amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary
should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Furthermore,
the principal shareholder, Landbank Acquisition LLC has demonstrated its ability
and willingness to lend working capital to us and committed to doing so into the
future. To the extent it is unwilling to provide working capital, we will not be
able to continue.
ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The
information contained in this Form 10-Q is intended to update the information
contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,
2007 and presumes that readers have access to, and will have read, the
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations” and other information contained in such Form 10-KSB. The
following discussion and analysis also should be read together with our
condensed financial statements and the notes to the condensed financial
statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
The
following discussion contains certain statements that may be deemed
“forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements appear in a number of
places in this Report, including, without limitation, “Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” These
statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks,
uncertainties and requirements that are difficult to predict or are beyond our
control. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this
quarterly report. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking
statements. We strongly encourage investors to carefully read the
factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 2007 in the section entitled “Risk Factors” for a description of
certain risks that could, among other things, cause actual results to differ
from these forward-looking statements. We assume no responsibility to update the
forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-QThe
following should also be read in conjunction with the unaudited Financial
Statements and notes thereto that appear elsewhere in this report.
Overview
We were
incorporated in the State of Delaware as Camryn Information Services, Inc., on
May 13, 1997. We operated for a brief period of time before it ceased operations
on February 25, 1999 when it forfeited its charter for failure to designate a
registered agent. We remained dormant until 2004 when it renewed its operations
with the filing of a Certificate of Renewal and Revival of Charter with the
State of Delaware on October 29, 2004. On November 3, 2004, we filed a
Certificate of Amendment and our name was formally changed from Camryn
Information Services, Inc. to iStorage Networks, Inc. Such change became
effective on November 8, 2004. We subsequently changed its name to Landbank
Group, Inc., on January 27, 2006, following the acquisition of Landbank, LLC, a
California limited liability company (“LLC”). We previously engaged
in business through LLC which made bulk acquisitions of parcels of land,
primarily through the real property tax lien foreclosure process. The bulk
acquisitions were then divided into smaller parcels for resale.
On
December 31, 2007, we transferred all of its respective rights in and to LLC and
its business and changed its name to Trist Holdings, Inc. As a result of
such transfer, we are a non-operating public company and our operating results
through December 31, 2007 are not meaningful to our future results. We seek
suitable candidates for a business combination with a private
company.
Critical Accounting Policies
and Estimates
The
preparation our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management
to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amount of expenses during the
reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates which are based
on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to
be reasonable under the circumstances. The result of these evaluations forms the
basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities
and the reported amount of expenses that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptions. The following accounting policies require significant management
judgments and estimates:
We
account for our business acquisitions under the purchase method of accounting in
accordance with SFAS 141, "Business Combinations." The total cost of
acquisitions is allocated to the underlying net assets, based on their
respective estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the
estimated fair value of the tangible net assets acquired is recorded as
intangibles. Determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed requires management's judgment and often involves the use of significant
estimates and assumptions, including assumptions with respect to future cash
inflows and outflows, discount rates, asset lives, and market multiples, among
other items.
We assess
the potential impairment of long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles under
the guidance of SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets." which states that a long-lived asset should be tested for
recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. An impairment
loss is recognized only if the carrying amount of the long-lived asset exceeds
its fair value and is not recoverable.
We base
our 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 the carrying values of assets and liabilities
that are not readily apparent from other sources. There can be no assurance that
actual results will not differ from these estimates.
For the Quarters and
Nine
Months Ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007
Results
of Operations
The
information below represents our historical numbers. These numbers
are not meaningful going forward due to the transfer of all of our business
lines.
Operating
Expenses
Operating
expenses were $32,250 and $40,706 for the quarters ended September 30, 2008 and
2007, respectively. Operating expenses were $113,053 and $148,493 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease
in operating expenses was primarily due to the sale of the operating
subsidiary.
Loss
from operations of divested subsidiary
The loss
from the operations of the divested subsidiary was $294,850 and $583,878 for the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. The
subsidiary was divested on December 31, 2007.
Interest
Expense and Other
Interest
expenses were $11,764 and zero for the quarters ended September 30, 2008
and 2007, respectively, an increase of $11,764. Interest expenses
were $33,229 and zero for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and
2007, respectively, an increase of $33,229. The increase is due from
increase in debt.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Net cash
used in operating activities was $122,112 and $660,143 in the nine months ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease was primarily
due to a decrease in loss attributable to the prior operations of the divested
subsidiary.
Net cash
provided by financing activities was $122,112 and $418,580 in the nine
months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. In 2007,
these funds were borrowed from our divested subsidiary. In 2008, these funds
were borrowed from a related party.
We have
suffered recurring losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit of
$2,401,659 at September 30, 2008. Currently, we are a non-operating
public company. We are seeking out suitable candidates for a business
combination with a private company. We anticipate that our existing cash
and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to fund our business
needs. We will rely on funding from Investor for our cash
needs. Our ability to continue may prove more expensive than we
currently anticipate and we may incur significant additional costs and expenses
in connection with seeking a suitable transaction.
Inflation
and Seasonality
Inflation
has not been material to us during the past five years. Seasonality has not been
material to us.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in
Financial Statements”, which is an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin
(“ARB”) No. 51. This statement clarifies that a noncontrolling
interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the entity that should be
reported as equity in the financial statements. This
statement changes the way the income statement is presented, thus requiring net
income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both
parent and the noncontrolling interest. This statement is effective
for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning
on or after December 15, 2008. Based on current conditions, we do not
expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a significant impact on its results of
operations or financial position.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business
Combinations.” This statement replaces FASB Statement No. 141,
“Business Combinations.” This statement retains the fundamental requirements in
SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called
the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer
to be identified for each business combination. This statement defines the
acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the
business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the
acquirer achieves control. This statement requires an acquirer to recognize the
assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the
acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date,
with limited exceptions specified in the statement. This statement applies
prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or
after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after
December 15, 2008. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a
significant impact on its results of operations or financial
position.
In March,
2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities”. The new standard is intended to improve
financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by
requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their
effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application
encouraged. The new standard also improves transparency about the location and
amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s financial statements; how
derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under
Statement 133; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect
its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.
FASB
Statement No. 161 achieves these improvements by requiring disclosure of the
fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular
format. It also provides more information about an entity’s liquidity by
requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk–related.
Finally, it requires cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial
statement users to locate important. Based on current conditions, we do not
expect the adoption of SFAS 161 to have a significant impact on its results of
operations or financial position.
In April
2008, the FASB issued FSP 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible
Assets”, (FSP 142-3). FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in
developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of
a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets”. FSP 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2008. We are currently assessing the impact of FSP 142-3 on its financial
position and results of operations.
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles” (SFAS No. 162). SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of
accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the
preparation of financial statements. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following
the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments
to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles”. The implementation of this standard will not
have a material impact on our financial position and results of
operations.
In June
2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted
in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (FSP EITF
03-6-1). FSP EITF 03-6-1 clarified that all outstanding unvested share-based
payment awards that contain rights to nonforfeitable dividends participate in
undistributed earnings with common shareholders. Awards of this nature are
considered participating securities and the two-class method of computing basic
and diluted earnings per share must be applied. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We are currently assessing the
impact of FSP EITF 03-6-1 on its financial position and results of
operations.
In June
2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument
(or an Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (EITF 07-5). EITF
07-5 provides that an entity should use a two step approach to evaluate whether
an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its
own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and
settlement provisions. It also clarifies on the impact of foreign currency
denominated strike prices and market-based employee stock option valuation
instruments on the evaluation. EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008. We are currently assessing the impact of EITF 07-5 on
its financial position and results of operations.
In June
2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 08-3, “Accounting for Lessees for
Maintenance Deposits Under Lease Arrangements” (EITF 08-3). EITF 08-3 provides
guidance for accounting for nonrefundable maintenance deposits. It also provides
revenue recognition accounting guidance for the lessor. EITF 08-3 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We are currently assessing
the impact of EITF 08-3 on its financial position and results of
operations.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK.
A smaller
reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this
Item.
ITEM 4T – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND
PROCEDURES. Our management, with the participation of our
president and our chief financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the
effectiveness of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15-d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the
"Evaluation Date"). Based upon that evaluation, our president and our
chief financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under
the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported,
within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president and
our chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING. There were no changes in our
internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the
period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
