NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2010

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with the instructions in Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles and should, therefore, be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These statements do include all normal recurring adjustments which the Company believes necessary for a fair presentation of the statements. The interim operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2010.

Note 2 – Additional Footnotes Included By Reference

Except as indicated in the following Notes, there have been no other material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Therefore, those footnotes are included herein by reference.

Note 3 – Going Concern

As of March 31, 2010, the Company’s revenue generating activities are not in place, and the Company has incurred losses since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to seek additional equity and debt financing to maintain operations while determining a suitable business opportunity. There can be no assurance that such funds will be available to the Company or that a suitable business opportunity will ultimately be successful.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 5 – Share Exchange Agreement and Change of Control
 
On November 20, 2008, the Company signed a Share Exchange Agreement (the Agreement) with Produced Water Solutions, Inc. (PWS) and the shareholders of PWS to acquire PWS as a wholly-owned subsidiary on or before July 17, 2009. Pursuant to the Agreement the Company was to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of PWS in exchange for 8,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company to be distributed pro rata to the shareholders of PWS. At the inception of the agreement and as an inducement to enter into the Agreement, the Company loaned PWS $100,000 Canadian dollars, in the form of a promissory note.
 

On August 26, 2009, the Company entered into an Assignment Agreement (the Assignment) with Dobhai Ventures, Inc., (Dobhai), Produced Water Solutions, Inc. (PWS), and the shareholders of PWS in order to assign the Company’s interest in the share exchange agreement with PWS to Dobhai for $1.00. The Assignment also provides that, if Dobhai acquires PWS, the Company will receive a two and one half percent (2½%) royalty on all net revenue realized by Dobhai or PWS from services that utilize PWS’ reverse osmosis and ultra-filtration technology for thirty six (36) months from the date of the transaction up to a maximum royalty payment of $1,000,000 and a cash payment of $135,000 payable by Dobhai to the Company within ten days of Dobhai’s acquisition of PWS. This assignment agreement has been extended and will remain effective until June 30, 2010. As of the date the financial statements were issued, Dobhai had not yet acquired PWS.

Note 6 – Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated its March 31, 2010 financial statements for subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. The Company is not aware of any subsequent events which would require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Note 7 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-13, “Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades” (“ASU 2010-13”). ASU 2010-13 addresses the classification of a share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the underlying equity security trades. FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718 was amended to clarify that a share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trade shall not be considered to contain a market, performance or service condition. Therefore, such an award is not to be classified as a liability if it otherwise qualifies for equity classification. The amendments in ASU 2010-13 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010, with early application permitted. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2010

Note 7 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09, “Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements” (“ASU 2010-09”), which amends ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events.” The amendments to ASC Topic 855 do not change existing requirements to evaluate subsequent events, but: (i) defines a “SEC Filer,” which we are; (ii) removes the definition of a “Public Entity”; and (iii) for SEC Filers, reverses the requirement to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. ASU 2010-09 was effective for us upon issuance. This guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU 2010-06”). ASU 2010-06 requires new disclosures for (i) transfers of assets and liabilities in and out of levels one and two fair value measurements, including a description of the reasons for such transfers and (ii) additional information in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (level three). This guidance also clarifies existing disclosure requirements including (i) the level of disaggregation used when providing fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities and (ii) the requirement to provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements for level two and three assets and liabilities. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about activity in the roll forward for level three fair value measurements, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance has not had a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.
 
Management believes the impact of other recently issued standards and updates, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption.

Item 2.     MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other parts of this quarterly report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,” “plans,” “predicts,” and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include but are not limited to those discussed in the subsection entitled Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition below. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included in this report. Information presented herein is based on the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and the period since inception to March 31, 2010. Our fiscal year end is December 31.

Discussion and Analysis

The Company’s plan of operation over the next twelve months is to identify and acquire a suitable business opportunity.
 
On August 26, 2009 the Company assigned its interest in a share exchange agreement
dated November 20, 2008, as amended, with Produced Water Solutions, Inc. (“PWS”) to Dobhai Ventures, Inc. in exchange for a two and one half percent (2½%) royalty on all net revenue realized by Dobhai or PWS from PWS’ reverse osmosis and ultra-filtration technology for thirty six (36) months from the assignment up to $1,000,000 and a cash payment of $135,000 payable within ten days of Dobhai’s acquisition of PWS. The assignment is effective until June 30, 2010 and may be extended to provide Dobhai with the time necessary to comply with regulatory requirements connected to the Toronto Venture Exchange.

The Company will require a minimum of $50,000 in funding over the next 12 months to maintain current operations and seek out a suitable business opportunity.

 

Results of Operations

 

During the three month period ended March 31, 2010, the Company (i) satisfied continuous public disclosure requirements, (ii) extended the term of the assignment to Dobhai of the share exchange agreement with PWS, and (iii) sought out alternative business opportunities.

Net Loss

For the period from December 7, 1999, to March 31, 2010, the Company recorded a net loss of $324,836. Net losses for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 were $11,866 as compared to $26,572 for the three month period ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in the Company’s net losses over the comparative three month periods can be attributed to a decrease in general and administrative expenses. The Company’s cumulative operating loss is mostly due to costs associated with a forfeited option agreement, the impaired LA Boxing franchise fee, interest expense and general and administrative expenses. General and administrative costs include accounting costs, consulting fees, mining exploration expenses, due diligence costs and the preparation of disclosure documentation.

We did not generate revenue during this period and expect to continue to incur losses.

11

Return to Table of Contents

Capital Expenditures

The Company expended no amounts on capital expenditures for the period from December 7, 1999, to March 31, 2010.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

The Company has a prospective income tax benefit resulting from a net operating loss carry-forward and start up costs that will offset any future operating profit.

Impact of Inflation

The Company believes that inflation has had a negligible effect on operations over the past three years.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company is in the development stage and, since inception, has experienced significant changes in liquidity, capital resources, and stockholders’ deficit.

The Company had current and total assets of $111,949 as of March 31, 2010, consisting of cash of $86, a note receivable of $98,480 and interest thereon of $13,383. The Company had current and total liabilities of $164,061 as of March 31, 2010, consisting of $14,524 in accounts payable, $58,083 in related party payables, $13,984 in related party interest payable and $77,470 in related party notes payable net of beneficial conversion feature. Net stockholders' deficit in the Company was $52,112 at March 31, 2010.

Cash flow used in operating activities was $190,624 for the period from December 7, 1999, to March 31, 2010. Cash flow used in operating activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 increased to $5,015 as compared to $125 for the three month period ended March 31, 2009. The increase in cash flows used in operating activities over the comparative three month periods can be attributed primarily to a decrease in accounts payable. The Company’s cumulative cash flow used in operating activities was used on accounting, administration, consulting, exploration expenses and a franchise fee. We expect to continue to use cash flow in operating activities over the next twelve months.

Cash flow provided from financing activities was $297,785 for the period from December 7, 1999, to March 31, 2010. Cash flow provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $5,000 as compared to $100 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in cash flow provided from financing activities over the comparative three month periods can be attributed to a related party loan. The Company’s cumulative financing activities have consisted of sales of the Company’s common stock as well as related and non-related party loans. We expect to continue to use cash flow provided by financing activities to maintain current operations with private equity placements or shareholder loans.

Cash flow used in investing activities was $107,075 for the period from December 7, 1999, to March 31, 2010. Cash flow used in investing activities for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and March 31, 2009 was $0. We do expect to use cash flow in investing activities in connection with any future development or acquisition of a business opportunity.

12

Return to Table of Contents

The Company’s current assets are insufficient to conduct its plan of operation over the next twelve (12) months. We will have to seek at least $50,000 in debt or equity financing over the next twelve months to fund our continued operations. The Company has no current commitments or arrangements with respect to, or immediate sources of this funding. Further, no assurances can be given that funding is available. The Company’s shareholders are the most likely source of new funding in the form of loans or equity placements though none have made any commitment for future investment and the Company has no agreement formal or otherwise. The Company’s inability to obtain funding will have a material adverse affect on its ability to search for alternative business opportunities and maintain operations.

The Company does not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
 
The Company had no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements as of March 31, 2010.
 
The Company had no commitments for future capital expenditures that were material at March 31, 2010.
 
The Company has no defined benefit plan or contractual commitment with any of its officers or directors.

The Company has no current plans for the purchase or sale of any plant or equipment.
 
The Company has no current plans to make any changes in the number of employees.
 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2010, we have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

Critical Accounting Policies

In Note 1 to the audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, included in our Form 10-K, the Company discusses those accounting policies that are considered to be significant in determining the results of operations and its financial position. The Company believes that the accounting principles utilized by it conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
 
The preparation of financial statements requires Company management to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates estimates. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other facts and circumstances that are believed to be reasonable, and the results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. The actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The Company’s auditors have expressed an opinion as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as a result of an accumulated deficit of $312,970 as of December 31, 2009, which deficit increased to $324,836 as of March 31, 2010. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is subject to the ability of the Company to realize a profit and /or obtain funding from outside sources. Management’s plan to address the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern includes: (i) obtaining funding from the private placement of debt or equity; (ii) realizing revenues from its assignment of the PWS share exchange agreement; (iii) prospective business opportunities; (iv) obtaining loans from shareholders; and (iv) converting outstanding debt to equity. Management believes that it will be able to obtain funding to allow the Company to remain a going concern through the methods discussed above, though there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.

Stock-Based Compensation

We have adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic (“ASC”) 718, formerly SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) (SFAS No. 123R), Share-Based Payment, which addresses the accounting for stock-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. We account for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with ASC 505. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services.

ITEM 4T.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


In connection with the preparation of this report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by the Company’s management, with the participation of the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)). Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the period ended March 31, 2010, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A.     RISK FACTORS
 

The Company’s operations and securities are subject to a number of risks. Below we have identified and discussed the material risks that we are likely to face. Should any of the following risks occur, they will adversely affect our operations, business, financial condition and/or operating results as well as the future trading price and/or the value of our securities.

Risks Related to the Company’s Business

We have a history of significant operating losses and such losses may continue in the future.

Since our inception in 1999, our expenses have substantially exceeded our income, resulting in continuing losses and an accumulated deficit of $312,970 at December 31, 2009, which increased to $324,836 at March 31, 2010. During the initial three months of this year we recorded a net loss of $11,866. The Company has never realized revenue from operations. Our only expectation of future profitability is dependent on revenues associated with the assignment of our share exchange agreement with PWS and the acquisition or development of a revenue producing business opportunity.

The Company’s limited financial resources cast severe doubt on our ability to pursue our business plan or to acquire a profitable business opportunity.

The Company’s future operation is dependent upon the development or acquisition of a profitable business opportunity. We found it impossible to realize the financing needed for opening a LA Boxing franchise location or for financing our share exchange agreement with PWS. The Company’s inability to finance its operations sufficiently may prevent it from developing any business and may act as a deterrent in any future negotiations with potential acquisition candidates. Should the Company be unable to acquire or develop a profitable business opportunity in the near term, it will, in all likelihood, be forced to cease operations.

We are dependent upon a key person, who would be difficult to replace.

Our continued operation will be largely dependent upon the efforts of Ruairidh Campbell, our sole officer and director. We do not maintain key-person insurance on Mr. Campbell. Our future success also will depend in large part upon the Company’s ability to identify, attract and retain other highly qualified managerial, technical and sales and marketing personnel. Competition for these individuals is intense. The loss of the services of Mr. Campbell, the inability to identify, attract or retain qualified personnel in the future or delays in hiring qualified personnel could make it more difficult for us to maintain our operations and meet key objectives such as the acquisition of a suitable business opportunity.

Risks Related to the Company’s Stock

The market for our stock is limited and our stock price may be volatile.


The market for our common stock has been limited due to low trading volume and the small number of brokerage firms acting as market makers. Because of the limitations of our market and volatility of the market price of our stock, investors may face difficulties in selling shares at attractive prices when they want to. The average daily trading volume for our stock has varied significantly from week to week and from month to month, and the trading volume often varies widely from day to day.

We incur significant expenses as a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which expenses may continue to negatively impact our financial performance.


We incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses as a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as related rules implemented by the Commission, which control the corporate governance practices of public companies. Compliance with these laws, rules and regulations, including compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002,
as discussed in the following risk factor, has substantially increased our expenses, including legal and accounting costs, and made some activities more time-consuming and costly. Further, expenses related to our compliance may increase in the future, as legislation affecting smaller reporting companies comes into effect that may negatively impact our financial performance to the point of having a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Our internal controls over financial reporting may not be considered effective in the future, which could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and in turn have an adverse effect on our stock price.
 
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 we are required to furnish a report by our management on our internal controls over financial reporting. Such report must contain, among other matters, an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of the end of the year, including a statement as to whether or not our internal controls over financial reporting are effective. This assessment must include disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting identified by management. If we are unable to continue to assert that our internal controls are effective, our investors could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline.

The Company requires immediate capital funding to meet working capital requirements which it may not be able to satisfy.

The Company requires immediate financing through equity offerings or debt placements to meet current working capital requirements. Despite the immediacy of necessary financing and ongoing efforts to secure financing, the Company has no commitment to raise any of the requisite capital, without which it will not be able to meet its current financial obligations.
 

If the market price of our common stock declines as the selling security holders sell their stock, selling security holders or others may be encouraged to engage in short selling, depressing the market price.

The significant downward pressure on the price of the common stock as the selling security holders sell material amounts of common stock could encourage short sales by the selling security holders or others. Short selling is the selling of a security that the seller does not own, or any sale that is completed by the delivery of a security borrowed by the seller. Short sellers assume that they will be able to buy the stock at a lower amount than the price at which they sold it short. Significant short selling of a company’s stock creates an incentive for market participants to reduce the value of that company’s common stock. If a significant market for short selling our common stock develops, the market price of our common stock could be significantly depressed.

The Company’s shareholders may face significant restrictions on their stock.

The Company’s stock differs from many stocks in that it is a “penny stock.” The Commission has adopted a number of rules to regulate “penny stocks” including, but not limited to, those rules from the Securities Act as follows:

17

Return to Table of Contents

3a51-1     which defines penny stock as, generally speaking, those securities which are not listed on either NASDAQ or a national securities exchange and are priced under $5, excluding securities of issuers that have net tangible assets greater than $2 million if they have been in operation at least three years, greater than $5 million if in operation less than three years, or average revenue of at least $6 million for the last three years;

15g-1     which outlines transactions by broker/dealers which are exempt from 15g-2 through 15g-6 as those whose commissions from traders are lower than 5% total commissions;

15g-2      which details that brokers must disclose risks of penny stock on Schedule 15G;

15g-3      which details that broker/dealers must disclose quotes and other information relating to the penny stock market;

15g-4      which explains that compensation of broker/dealers must be disclosed;

15g-5      which explains that compensation of persons associated in connection with penny stock sales must be disclosed;

15g-6      which outlines that broker/dealers must send out monthly account statements; and

15g-9     which defines sales practice requirements.

Since the Company’s securities constitute a “penny stock” within the meaning of the rules, the rules would apply to us and our securities. Because these rules provide regulatory burdens upon broker-dealers, they may affect the ability of shareholders to sell their securities in any market that may develop; the rules themselves may limit the market for penny stocks. Additionally, the market among dealers may not be active. Investors in penny stock often are unable to sell stock back to the dealer that sold them the stock. The mark-ups or commissions charged by the broker-dealers may be greater than any profit a seller may make. Because of large dealer spreads, investors may be unable to sell the stock immediately back to the dealer at the same price the dealer sold the stock to the investor. In some cases, the stock may fall quickly in value. Investors may be unable to reap any profit from any sale of the stock, if they can sell it at all. Shareholders should be aware that, according to Commission Release No. 34-29093 dated April 17, 1991, the market for penny stocks has suffered from patterns of fraud and abuse. These patterns include:

·     

control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;


·     

manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;

·     

boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections;

·     

excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and

·     

the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.
