NOTES TO FINANCIALS STATEMENTS

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.
 
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 was 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 November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 151, Inventory Costs - an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. This Statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing,” to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that “… under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges…” This Statement requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal.” In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. This Statement is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Management does not believe the adoption of this Statement will have any immediate material impact on the Company.
 
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 152, “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 66 and 67” (“SFAS 152) The amendments made by Statement 152 This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate, to reference the financial accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions that is provided in AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 04-2, Accounting No. 67, Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects, to state that the guidance for (a) incidental operations and (b) costs incurred to sell real estate projects does not apply to real estate time-sharing transactions. The accounting for those operations and costs is subject to the guidance in SOP 04-2. This Statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005, with earlier application encouraged. The Company does not anticipate that the implementation of this standard will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) published Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), Shared-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R requires that compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. Share-based payment transactions within the scope of SFAS 123R include stock options, restricted stock plans, performance-based awards, stock appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. The provisions of SFAS 123R are effective as of the first interim period that begins after June 15, 2005. Accordingly, the Company will implement the revised standard in the third quarter of fiscal year 2005. Currently, the Company accounts for its share-based payment transactions under the provisions of APB 25, which does not necessarily require the recognition of compensation cost in the financial statements. Management is assessing the implications of this revised standard, which may materially impact the Company’s results of operations in the third quarter of fiscal year 2005 and thereafter.

On December 16, 2004, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary transactions (“SFAS 153”). This statement amends APB Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception of exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Under SFAS 153, if a nonmonetary exchange of similar productive assets meets a commercial-substance criterion and fair value is determinable, the transaction must be accounted for at fair value resulting in recognition of any gain or loss. SFAS 153 is effective for nonmonetary transactions in fiscal periods that begin after June 15, 2005. The Company does not anticipate that the implementation of this standard will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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 $21,220,975 from inception through March 31, 2005. As of that date, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $89,259. 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.

Holdings, Inc., 4117 Investments, Ltd., Grant Thornton Limited, Fasken Martineau DuMoulin, Davis & Co., Brian Child, Esq. and Mark L. Baum, Esq. This matter related to a stagnant lawsuit ("Lawsuit") filed by American Boardsports Corporation, a predecessor entity to Metaphor Corporation, on April 27, 2001. Under British Columbia law, the venue where the Lawsuit was filed, although the Lawsuit had not been active for many years, the defending party had the right to file a Notice of Intent to Proceed ("NOIP"), serve the NOIP upon the other parties to the Lawsuit, and bring resolution to their respective claim. Upon receipt of service of the NOIP, Mark L. Baum ("Baum") engaged in settlement discussions with Brian Child, Esq., an attorney with the firm of Davis & Co. of Vancouver, BC, Canada and counsel for A.P.U. Holdings, Inc., the party serving the NOIP. A USD $5,000 settlement was reached. Baum agreed to gift Metaphor Corporation $5,000.00 which was tendered to the signature parties to the mutual release and settlement agreement. The matter is now completely resolved by and among all parties to the Lawsuit.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including (a) that Metaphor acquires certain assets from an Asian company that they are currently in negotiations with, and (b) that Metaphor obtains from 8 Holdings the gross proceeds of an equity and/or convertible debt funding in an amount of at least $15,000,000, less certain costs and expenses, then 8 Holdings will receive (i) a number of shares of Metaphor's common stock equal to 66.82% of Metaphor's outstanding common stock immediately after closing, and (ii) a number of shares of Metaphor's common stock equal to the difference between 30.68% of the number of shares of Metaphor's common stock outstanding immediately after the closing and the number of shares of Metaphor's common stock issued to the Asian company with which Metaphor is currently in negotiations  (the "Stock Purchase").

The Agreement contains certain termination rights for both Metaphor and 8 Holdings. Metaphor is still in the process of providing 8 Holdings with certain due diligence information, and, if 8 Holdings is not satisfied with their review of the information, 8 Holdings may terminate the Agreement within ten business days after Metaphor provides them with that information.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Mr. Baum, Metaphor’s Chairman, President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and largest beneficial stockholder, is personally indemnifying 8 Holdings for Metaphor's outstanding liabilities at closing of the Stock Purchase, for breaches of certain representations and warranties of Metaphor that Mr. Baum had knowledge of, as well as those breaches of certain representations and warranties of Metaphor that occurred after January 15, 2003.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

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 and Thomas N. Carter resigned as the Company’s CEO and Board Chairman. Mr. Mark Baum ("Baum") was appointed as the Interim CEO & Chairman.

Mark L. Baum has more than 10 years experience in creating, financing and growing enterprises in a variety of industries. Mr. Baum has participated in various capacities in numerous public spin-offs, venture fundings, private-to-public mergers, and asset acquisitions and asset divestitures. Mr. Baum is a licensed attorney in the State of California and the principal attorney for The Baum Law Firm, P.C. Mr. Baum's law practice focuses on Securities Laws and related issues for SmallCap and MicroCap publicly reporting companies.

We are currently not operating.

We have no employees.

We own no intellectual property of any kind.

Plan of Operation

We currently have no cash in the bank. Our expenses are almost exclusively related to maintaining our status as a publicly trading and publicly reporting company. With respect to these "public company costs," over the past two year, Baum has loaned us various cash sums that have covered these public company costs. We believe that going forward, for the balance of the calendar year 2005, as long as Baum is affiliated with us, he will make sure that these costs are covered and that we maintain our reporting and trading status.

There are currently no "off balance sheet arrangements" like those contemplated by Item 303(c) of Section 228 in Regulation SB.

The China Media Network Transaction

On April 14, 2004, we filed a Form 8-K which notified our shareholders and the marketplace that we had entered into a material agreement to complete a transaction (the "Transaction") whereby in consideration of our issuance of a number of our shares which equaled approximately 97.5% of the number of issued and outstanding common shares after the closing of the Transaction, we would acquire certain assets from an Asian company along with the gross proceeds of an equity or debt financing which amounted to not less than USD $15,000,000.00.

On May 24, 2005, we filed a Form 8-K which notified the marketplace that we had executed an agreement to complete a reverse merger transaction with China Media Networks. (See Note 3 (#3) for more information).

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDUES

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, currently consisting of Mark L. Baum, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, and based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings. There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
 
Disclosure controls and procedures are the controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There was no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

We currently do not have an audit committee, or a person serving on our Board of Directors who would qualify as a financial expert.
