1.             Incorporation, Nature and Continuance of Operations
 
Incorporation and Nature of Operations
 
Zealous, Inc., previously known as Adult Entertainment Capital, Inc. and Zealous Trading Group, Inc. (“the Company”) was originally incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on September 25, 1978. Through the years the Company has gone though various name changes as a result of its different business plans.
 
Zealous Holdings Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, is a holding company whose subsidiaries were engaged in various financial services businesses including investment banking, trading services, and asset management services. Zealous Holdings Inc. raised capital for small and microcap public companies and select private issuers and was also involved in the development of its Zealous Alternative Trading System (“ZATS”). During the fourth quarter of 2008 as the economic conditions and uncertain investment climate worsened, the Company was no longer able to obtain the necessary financing to continue to fund its financial services operations and maintain the capital requirement of Zealous Capital Markets, LLC, its broker-dealer subsidiary. These conditions caused the Company to shut down the operations of Zealous Capital Markets, LLC in January 2009. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company established Health and Wellness Partners, Inc. which is engaged in distribution of health and wellness products which include Liquid Ice (an energy drink) and Rock Hard Weekend (a male arousement pill).  The Company also established Zealous Interactive, LLC which operates a multiple media related business, including a print publication and Internet URLs.
 
Going Concern
 
At March 31, 2009, the Company had not achieved profitable operations, had insufficient working capital to fund ongoing operations and expects to incur further losses. These circumstances raise a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations.  Management believes that the Company may not be able to obtain additional funds from debt or equity financing due to current economic conditions.
 
After evaluating the current economic circumstances and investment climate, management believes that it is in the best interest of the Company to exit the financial services business. Management plans to generate revenue through sale of health and wellness products and a multiple media related business, including a print publication and Internet URLs.

1.             Incorporation, Nature and Continuance of Operations (continued)
 
Incorporation and Nature of Operations (continued)
 
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations.  Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
2.             Significant accounting policies
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
These interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Zealous Holdings, Inc., Zealous Capital Markets, LLC, Zealous Asset Management, LLC, Zealous Real Estate Consulting, LLC, Zealous ATS, LLC, Health and Wellness Partners, Inc. and Zealous Interactive, LLC. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Basis of presentation
 
While the information presented in the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements is unaudited, it includes all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  These interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the Company’s December 31, 2008 audited annual financial statements.  All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2008 annual financial statements filed on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 18, 2009.
 
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ending on December 31, 2009. A precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements involves the use of estimates which have been made using careful judgment.  Actual results may vary from these estimates.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
 
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the statements of operations.  Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.  Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method and convertible debt using the if-converted method. Common stock equivalents were not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
 
Revenue recognition
 
The Company recognizes sales of health and wellness products as they are shipped. Shipping and delivery costs are included in cost of sales. Real estate consulting fees are recognized when earned. All commission expense if any associated with revenues are recorded in general and administrative expenses.
 
 Income taxes
 
The Company adopted the SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Pursuant to SFAS No. 109, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the periods in which those differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in the financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.

On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes”. FIN 48 clarifies the requirements of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, relating to the recognition of income tax benefits. FIN 48 provides a two step approach to recognizing and measuring tax benefits when the benefits’ realization is uncertain. The first step is to determine whether the benefit is to be recognized, the second step is to determine the amount to be recognized.

Income tax benefits should be recognized when, based on technical merits of a tax position, the company believes that if a dispute arose with the taxing authority and were taken to a court of last resort, it is more likely than not that the tax position would be sustained as filed; and

Income taxes (continued)

If the position is determined to be more likely than not of being sustained, the reporting company should recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority.

The Company’s adoption of FIN 48 did not have any impact on its financial statements.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories consist primarily of cases of Liquid Ice energy drink and packets of Rock Hard Weekend pills. Inventories are valued at lower of cost or market, determined using the first-in first-out method.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
The following Recent Accounting Pronouncements are disclosed as they may be applicable to the Company’s operations and could have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement). This FSP clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon either mandatory or optional conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants. Additionally, FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity's non-convertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We will adopt FSP APB 14-1 beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, and this standard must be applied on a retrospective basis. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 will have on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This standard is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for non-governmental entities. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following approval by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board's amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. We do not expect SFAS No. 162 to have a material impact on the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”), which amends SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” and APB opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim as well as in annual financial statements.  FSP FAS 107-1 and ABP 28-1 is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, which for the Company is the first quarter of fiscal 2010.  The Company is assessing the effect, if any, that FSP FAS 107-1 and ABP 28-1 may have on its consolidated financial statements.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

4.             Deposit with Clearing Broker
 
The Company was as party to Clearing Agreements with Wedbush Morgan Securities, Inc. and Legent Securities on a fully disclosed basis to provide custodial and clearing services for the Company’s financial services business. These custodial and clearing services included custody of customer securities and funds, providing written statements, confirmation of trades, account and security transfers, monitoring of compliance with Federal Reserve regulations, clearance and settlements of transactions hypothecation and lending of securities as well as standard clearing firm and custodial services. The Clearing Agreements were cancelled during the three months ended March 31, 2009.

6.             Convertible Debt

The Company had various convertible notes payable amounting to $547,500. These convertible notes were issued in 2007 by the public shell into which the Company was merged during 2008. The notes whose face value aggregated $5,122,500 at issuance were to mature at various dates through October 2008, they had interest rates ranging from 5% to 15% and included an option to convert into common stock at a conversion price of $0.02 per share. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the company issued 155,724,550 shares of its common stock for conversion of $3,114,491 of this convertible debt into equity. The remaining balance of $547,500 was therefore in default as a result of the Company’s inability to pay by March 31, 2009.
 
 In connection with these convertible notes, the Company issued a total of 119,992,500 warrants convertible at $0.02, $0.03 and $0.05 per share with terms of three to five years. Additionally, the Company issued 5,406,249 warrants convertible at $0.03 per share within five years, exercisable one year from the issuance of the note as long as the holder did not demand payment or exercise the option under the note prior to the maturity date of the note.
 
In connection with securing the financing pursuant to these notes, the Company paid $299,250 in cash and issued 24,275,000 warrants. These amounts were recorded as deferred financing costs and have been completely amortized over the terms of the notes.
 
The following table shows the amount of convertible notes payable and secured convertible debentures as on March 31, 2009:

Convertible notes payable

11.            Income Taxes (continued)

SFAS No. 109 requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported, if based on the weight of evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. After consideration of all the evidence, both positive and negative, management has determined that a valuation allowance of $8,418,662 as of March 31, 2009 is necessary to reduce the deferred  tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized.
 
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. The Interpretation provides clarification on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As a result of the Company’s evaluation of the implementation of FIN 48, no significant income tax uncertainties were identified. Therefore, the Company recognized no adjustment for unrecognized income tax benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. The tax years subject to examination by the taxing authorities are the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.
 
In May 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FIN 48-1 “Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48” (FSP FIN 48-1). FSP FIN 48-1 provides guidance on how to determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. FSP FIN 48-1 is effective retroactively to January 1, 2007. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operation.
 
At March 31, 2009, the Company will have federal net operating loss carryforward of approximately $18.3 million. Current federal tax law limits the amount of loss available to offset future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited. The federal net operating losses expire by 2029.

12.             Subsequent events

On April 2, 2009, The Board of Directors of the Company agreed to cease the business activities of, close down and dissolve its wholly owned subsidiary Zealous Real Estate Consulting, LLC. (ZREC), effective March 31, 2009. ZREC was engaged in consumer mortgage negotiations.

Results of Operation:

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 and 2008

We generated $43,809 in operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $227,264 in operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This is because of lesser brokerage commissions generated during the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to three months ended March 31, 2008. During the three months ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008, we incurred operating expenses of $454,405 and $1,535,662, respectively, a decrease of $1,083,015 because of decreased operating activities. We incurred $213,649 in interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $641 in interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2008 because of interest expense on the increased liabilities as on March 31, 2009. Interest expense of $213,649 included a non-cash component attributable to increase in principle amount of a note payable to a shareholder as penalty.  The net operating loss figures for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $621,405 and $1,308,433, respectively.

Non-convertible notes payable as on March 31, 2009 were $5,205,409. In 2008, we issued various convertible notes payable amounting to $5,122,500. These convertible notes mature at various times within one year from date of issuance, have an interest rate ranging from 5% to 15% and include an option to convert the notes to common stock at a conversion price of $0.02 per share. The balance on these convertible notes payable as on March 31, 2009 was $547,500. Notes payable were $7,111,892 as on March 31, 2008.

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we issued 166,311,335 shares of our common stock to convert the principle balance of $3,114,491 of our convertible notes and related accrued interest of $95,281 into stock of the company. All notes, except for $749,000 non-convertible notes, are in default as on March 31, 2009. We are currently negotiating with various secured and unsecured creditors to settle the notes in default by refinancing and/or renegotiating the terms of repayment of such notes.

In connection with these convertible notes, we issued a total of 119,992,500 warrants convertible at $0.02, $0.03 and $0.05 per share with terms of three to five years.

We accounted for the convertible notes payable in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with a Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios ("EITF 98-5"), and recognized an imbedded beneficial conversion feature present in the convertible note. We recognized and measured an aggregate of $5,122,500 of the proceeds, which is equal to the intrinsic value of the imbedded beneficial conversion feature, to additional paid in capital with a discount against the convertible note. The debt discount attributed to the beneficial conversion feature has been amortized over the maturity period as non-cash interest expense.

In connection with securing the financing pursuant to these notes, we paid $299,250 in cash and issued 24,275,000 warrants. These amounts were recorded as deferred financing costs and have been amortized over the terms of the notes.

The following table shows the amount of convertible notes payable and secured convertible debentures as on March 31, 2009:

We expect significant operating expenditures during the next 12 months for working capital requirements. We have insufficient funds to conduct our operations and to fully realize our operating goals for the next twelve months. We will therefore be required to seek additional financing.  There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
 
By adjusting our operations to the level of capitalization, we believe we have insufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow deficits. If during that period or thereafter, we are not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising sufficient capital resources, on terms acceptable to us, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations liquidity and financial condition.
 
7

 
We presently do not have any available credit, bank financing or other external sources of liquidity. Due to our brief history and historical operating losses, our operations have not been a source of liquidity. We will need to obtain additional capital in order to expand operations and become profitable. In order to obtain capital, we may need to sell additional shares of our common stock or borrow funds from private lenders. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional funding.

We will still need additional investments in order to continue operations until we are able to achieve positive operating cash flow. Additional investments are being sought, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain such investments.  Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and a downturn in the U.S. stock and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Further, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we will have to curtail our operations.

To date, we have generated minimal revenues and have incurred operating losses in every quarter.  These factors among others may raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The application of our accounting policies, which are important to our financial position and results of operations, requires significant judgments and estimates on the part of management. These estimates bear the risk of change due to the inherent uncertainty attached to the estimate and are likely to differ to some extent from actual results. Critical accounting policies requiring use of estimates are share based payments.

Stock based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, "Share Based Payment," using the modified-prospective-transition method. There was no effect to the accompanying financial statements pursuant to the adoption of SFAS No.123R since at the date of the adoption, all employee stock options were fully vested. SFAS No. 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, and its related implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123R addresses all forms of share-based payment awards including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. Under SFAS No.
 
8

 
123R, stock-based awards result in a cost that will be measured at Fair value on the award's grant date, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest that will result in a charge to operations.
 
The cost of stock-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or of the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the measurement date guidelines enumerated in Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments that Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services."

The following Recent Accounting Pronouncements are disclosed as they may be applicable to the Company’s operations and could have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
In February 2008, the FASB issued staff position 157-2 which delays the effective date of SFAS No, 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for those that are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. For items within its scope, this staff position defers the effective date of SFAS No, 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, which for the Company would be the fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the provisions of SFAS No. 157 and believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 can have an impact on its financial position, cash flows, or results of operations.
 
In February 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115,” (“SFAS No. 159”), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS No. 159 permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. Subsequent unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be reported in earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS No. 159.
 
In December 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 (revised 2008) Business Combinations. This Statement applies to all transactions or other events in which an entity (the acquirer) obtains control of one or more businesses (the acquirer), including those sometimes referred to as “true mergers” or “mergers of equals” and combinations achieved without the transfer of consideration, for example, by contract alone or through the lapse of minority veto rights. This Statement applies to all business entities, including mutual entities that previously used the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for some business combinations. 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 November 15, 2008. We will adopt this statement on January 1, 2009.
 
In December 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 160 Non controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51. This statement requires that
 
9

 
the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity. This Statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (that is, January 1, 2009, for entities with calendar year-ends). Earlier adoption is prohibited. We will adopt this statement on January 1, 2009.
 
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement). FSP APB 14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon either mandatory or optional conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants. Additionally, FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity's non-convertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We will adopt FSP APB 14-1 beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, and this standard must be applied on a retrospective basis. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 will have on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This standard is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for non-governmental entities. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following approval by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board's amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. We do not expect SFAS No. 162 to have a material impact on the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2009, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.
 
 
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, (i) are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting of the Company and (ii) have evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the 1934 Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report ("Evaluation Date"). Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them on a timely basis to material information relating to us required to be included in our reports filed or submitted under the 1934 Act, except as discussed below.
 
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as required by Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Section 404 A. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company's financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S.generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)
 
As of March 31, 2009, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
 
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that the Company's management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were : (1) lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of majority of outside directors on the Company's board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, and, (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by the Company's Chief Financial Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of March 31, 2009 and communicated to our management.
 
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (1) and (2) above did not have an affect on the Company's financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company's board of directors could result in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures. Management's goals are to have a functional audit committee and a majority of outside directors on the Company's board of directors when funds are available.
 
This report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this report.
 
11

 
(b) CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS.
 
In addition, no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the 1934 Act) 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.

On October 15, 2008, the Company issued 166,311,335 shares of common stock to its former secured note holders as part of a forced conversion of their outstanding debt under the terms of their agreement. Following a period of negotiation with these note holders in which no agreement was reached, the company issued the share certificates on February 26, 2009. The former secured note holders continue to dispute the proprietary of the conversion of their outstanding debt to equity and thus the matter remains open.
 
Each of the above transactions was exempt from registration requirements under Rule 506. For each such sale, no advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering the securities. The offerings and sales were made to a limited number of persons, all of whom were accredited investors, business associates of ours or our executive officers, and transfer was restricted by us in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act. Each of such persons represented to us that they were accredited or sophisticated investors, that they were capable of analyzing the merits and risks of their investment, and that they understood the speculative nature of their investment. Furthermore, all of the above-referenced persons had access to our Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

 
The Company issued 166,311,335 shares of common stock to its former secured note holders as part of a forced conversion of their outstanding debt of $3,114,491 and interest accrued thereon of $95,281 under the terms of their agreement.
