Introduction
 
This First Amended Form 10-KSB is being filed in order to include the Registrant's full set of financial statements and to modify the Registrant's Section 906 Certification attached hereto.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto included herein, including the Company's Form 10K-SB filed for the year ended December 31, 2003, the content of which shall be incorporated herein by reference. In connection with, and because we desire to take advantage of, the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we caution readers regarding certain forward looking statements in the following discussion and elsewhere in this report and in any other statement made by, or on our behalf, whether or not in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward looking statements made by, or our behalf. We disclaim any obligation to update forward looking statements.

Forward looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievement expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "could," "intend," "expects," "plan," "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," or "continue" or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of such statements.

Part I.

Item 1. Description of the Business.

As was disclosed in a Form 8-K filed with the Commission on January 15, 2003 (SEC File Number 000-13858), effective January 14, 2003, the Company ceased all existing operations. Mr. Mark Baum ("Baum") was appointed as the Interim CEO & Chairman.

Since January 15, 2003, all employees had been dismissed. From time-to-time, the Company has contracted with various consultants whose specific skills can assist the Company in achieving it’s restructuring goals.

The Company currently owns no intellectual property of any kind, including patents or trademarks.

Item 2.  Description of the Property.

The Company currently owns no real property.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

There were no matters filed against the Company during calendar 2004 and up until the date of this filing.

There was one matter pending during calendar 2004:

State of California Matter. This matter involved unpaid employee withholding taxes by ABC, the Company's predecessor in interest, due to the Employment Development Department ("EDD") in the amount of approximately $84,000.00. This matter was settled for USD $500.00.

As of the date of the filing of this report, the Company, it's officer and it's director were not a party to any pending legal proceeding related to his respective relationship with the Company.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On November 17, 2004, the Company made effective with the Commission a Schedule 14(c) Definitive Information Statement (the "Information Statement") (See SEC Film Number 041150736 and Accession Number 0001300248-04-000097). The Information Statement provided notice to the Company shareholders that certain actions (the "Actions") had been taken pursuant to the written consent of a majority of the Company shareholders. Specifically, the Actions were: (i) to amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation to provide for a stock combination (reverse split) of the Common Stock in an exchange approved by the Board of Directors, ranging from one newly issued share for each twenty shares of Common Stock (1:20) to one newly issued share for two-hundred outstanding shares of Common Stock (1:200); and (ii) that the Company's would change its state of incorporation from the State of Delaware to the State of Nevada.

A shareholder meeting was not held during calendar year 2004.

PART II.

Item 5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.

The Company's Common Stock is currently quoted on the over-the-counter market and quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers Electronic Bulletin Board ("OTC Bulletin Board") under the symbol "MTPH". The high and low bid prices for the Common Stock, as reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc., are indicated for the periods described below. Such prices are inter-dealer prices without retail markups, markdowns or commissions, and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

The prices listed above have been rounded to the nearest penny.
(2)
The prices for the 4th quarter were subject to a 1:200 reverse stock split, and these prices may be multiplied by 200 in order to get a more accurate accounting of the relative value of the common shares during this period.

To date, the Company has not declared or paid dividends on its Common Stock.

As of March 7, 2005, there were approximately 946 shareholders of record (in street name) of the company's Common Stock.

During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company issued securities using the exceptions available under the Securities Act of 1933 including unregistered sales made pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 as follows:

·  
7,100,000 common shares to three (3) consultants
·  
51,207,944 common shares to The Baum Law Firm for debt settlement as well as towards the payment of various consulting fees.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

Baum is currently attempting to find a candidate that is willing to merge with the Company.

The Company and Baum cannot guarantee that an acceptable merger candidate will be agreeable to a merger with the Company. Without an acceptable merger candidate, the Company will continue to exist as a non-operational public shell corporation.

As is discussed above, the Company currently is not operating.

Ongoing obligations being incurred are to: (1) existing debtholders that are accruing interest on past Company obligations; (2) Baum and The Baum Law Firm ("TBLF") for services it has rendered and continues to render to the Company; (3) auditing fees to the Company's certifying independent auditor.

The Company shall continue to explore opportunities it identifies that may allow the shareholders to realize some value on their investment in the Company.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The history of losses and the inability for the Company to make a profit from selling a good or service has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

In spite of the fact that the current obligations of the Company are relatively minimal, given the cash position of the Company, we do not have enough cash to buy a pencil, let alone compensate our attorneys for their professional efforts.

We intend to fund the Company and attempt to meet corporate obligations by: (i) selling common stock; and/or (ii) borrowing money from Baum. However, (i) the Company's common stock is at a very low price and is not actively traded; and (ii) Baum may at any time decide unilaterally that he no longer wishes to loan the Company money. Therefore, if our efforts do not produce the required funds to maintain a reporting status, and if we are unable to obtain additional funding in the future, we may be forced to halt trading on our stock or simply not maintain our 1934 Exchange Act reporting status.

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2003

The Company was not operational during 2004, and thus had no revenues.

Expenses for the year ended December 31, 2004 were $85,203.
 
With the closing of all operations, we have no revenue source. In order to pay expenses, we will be dependent on private placements of our common stock and issuance of convertible notes in order to sustain operations. In addition, there can be no assurances that the proceeds from private or other capital will continue to be available, or that revenues will increase to meet our cash needs, or that a sufficient amount of our common stock or other securities can or will be sold or that any common stock purchase options/warrants will be exercised to fund our operating needs.

Item 6A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We face exposure to fluctuations in the price of our common stock due to the very limited cash resources we have. For example, the Company has very limited resources to pay legal and accounting professionals. If we are unable to pay a legal or accounting professional in order to perform various professional services for the company, it may be difficult, if not impossible, for the Company to maintain its reporting status under the '34 Exchange Act. If the Company felt that it was likely that it would not be able to maintain its reporting status, it would make a disclosure by filing a Form 8-K with the SEC. In any case, if the Company was not able to maintain its reporting status, it would become "delisted" and this would potentially cause an investor or an existing shareholder to lose all or part of his investment.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors
Metaphor Corp.
(Formerly, ABCI Holding, Inc.)

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Metaphor Corp. of December 31, 2004 and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flow for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of Metaphor Corp. as of December 31, 2003, were audited by other auditors whose report dated April 11, 2004 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. Their report included an explanatory paragraph regarding going concern.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Metaphor Corp., as of December 31, 2003, and the results of their operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred significant losses from operation, has working capital and shareholders’ deficit and in 2002 the Company ceased operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

Organization
 
Metaphor Corp. ("Company"), formerly known as ABCI Holding, Inc., was incorporated in the State of Nevada. As of January 1, 2003 the company has limited operations.

In August of 2001, the Company completed a reverse acquisition into One Class Synergy Corporation. Subsequently, One Class Synergy Corporation changed the name to ABCI Holdings, Inc. Before the merger with One Class Synergy Corporation, the Company was named American Boardsports Company, Inc.

On December 6, 2004, ABCI Holdings, a Delaware corporation, consummated a merger (the “Reincorporation Merger”) with and into Metaphor Corp., a Nevada corporation, a new corporation formed exclusively for the purpose of effectuating the Reincorporation Merger, in order to reincorporate from the State of Delaware to the State of Nevada (the Reincorporation”). The Reincorporation Merger was effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into between ABCI Holdings, and Metaphor Corp. on December 6, 2004. As a result of the Reincorporation Merger, and subsequent to the appropriate filings with the States of Nevada and Delaware, the legal domicile of the company is now Nevada.
 
Operations
 
During 2002 and prior, the Company planned to manufacture and distribute skateboards, wakeboards, snowboards, related clothing and accessories primarily to specialty retail outlets in the United States and in 13 foreign countries. The Company manufactured and/or assembled its products from components acquired from suppliers in North America. Products were marketed with the Company's own trade names, such as, "Thruster," "Revelation," "Human," "Republic," and "Enemy."

On January 14, 2003, Thomas N. Carter resigned as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. Mr. Mark Baum, Attorney at Law was elected to serve as the interim CEO and Board Chairman. As of that date, operations of ABCI Holding, including the web site, were discontinued, and the resignation of Floyd Ryan, the Company’s president was received and accepted.
 
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Basis of Accounting

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a December 31, year-end.

b. Basic Earnings per (loss) Share

In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”, which specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings (loss) per share for entities with publicly held common stock. SFAS No. 128 supersedes the provisions of APB No. 15, and requires the presentation of basic earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings (loss) per share. The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 128 effective December 30, 1999 (inception).

Basic net loss per share amounts is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are the same as basic earnings per share due to the lack of dilutive items in the Company.
 
c. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management are among others, realization of long-lived assets and deferred taxes.

d. Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

e. Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to seven years. As of December 31, 2001 all equipment had been sold or abandoned.

f. Segment and Geographic Information

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 131 on "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" effective in 1998. SFAS 131 requires enterprises to report financial and descriptive information about reporting operating segments and establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The Company evaluated SFAS No. 131 and determined that the Company operates in only one segment.

g. Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), Accounting for Income Taxes. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

h. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", prescribes a fair value method of accounting for stock based compensation plans and for transactions in which stock options or other equity instruments are exchanged for goods or services. Accordingly, the fair value of the equity instruments is used to account for the payment of services rendered. The cost of stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date on the value of the award and recognizes this cost over the service period. The value of the stock-based award is determined using a pricing model whereby compensation cost is the excess of the fair market value of the stock as determined by the model at grant date or other measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Thomas Carter, former Chairman and CEO was given an option to purchase 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $0.05 per share, all of which were exercisable in the year of issuance. Utilizing the Black Schools model which considers the one year term, the $0.12 market price at the time of issuance and an interest rate of 6.48%, it was determined that a compensation expense of $75,000 was to be recorded.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 143 requires liability recognition for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002 with earlier application encouraged. The implementation of SFAS No. 143 will not have a material affect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAFS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of", in that it removes goodwill from its impairment scope and allows for different approaches in cash flow estimation. However, SFAS No. 144 retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 for (a) recognition and measurement of long-lived assets to be held and used and (b) measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of. SFAS No. 144 also supersedes the business segment concept in APB opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," in that it permits presentation of a component of an entity, whether classified as held for sale or disposed of, as a discontinued operation. However, SFAS No. 144 retains the requirement of APB Opinion No. 30 to report discontinued operations separately from continuing operations. The provisions of this Statement are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 with earlier application encouraged. Implementation of SFAS No. 144 will not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

On April 30, 2002, the FASB issued Statement 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." FASB 145 rescinds Statement 4, which required all gains and losses from extinguishments of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. Early application of the provisions of FASB 145 may be as of the beginning of the fiscal year or as of the beginning of the interim period in which FASB 145 is issued. The Company has elected to adopt FASB 145, but it will not have a material effect on the December 31, 2002 financial statements.

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146 "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS 146 requires that a liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred. SFAS 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The implementation of SFAS No. 146 will not have a material affect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reported in the financial statements, Metaphor Corp. has incurred a recurring loss of $21,255,173 from inception through December 31, 2004. As of that date, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $148,082. These factors create uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of Metaphor Corp. to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital funding. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Management plans to raise additional funds through debt or equity offerings. Management has yet to decide what type of offering the Company will use or how much capital the Company will raise. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise any capital through any type of offerings.
