General Description and Development of Business

Unless otherwise noted, all dollar references are in U.S. Dollars.

On February 7, 1994, Terra Nostra Resources, Ltd., a Nevada corporation ("Terra Nostra" or the "Corporation") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, under the name of Renegade Recreational Rentals, Inc. On February 26, 1996, the major shareholder of the Corporation sold his shares to Buccaneer Holdings, Inc., a Belize corporation ("Buccaneer Belize"). On February 26, 1996, the Corporation started to carry on business under the fictitious business name "Buccaneer Holdings, Inc.". The Corporation commenced business in the oil and gas sector in August, 1996 by purchasing its first oil and gas prospect, known as the Kejr Leases from Buccaneer Belize.

On November 1, 1996, the Company was suspended by the State of Nevada for failure to pay its annual filing fees. On October 11, 2000 the Company paid all filing fees which were due and was re-instated. The Company is current on all of its filing fees with the State of Nevada since its resinstatement. On January 25, 2002, the Corporation changed its name to "Terra Nostra Resources Ltd". Terra Nostra was incorporated for the business of operating recreational jet boats and to license jet boat rental services in one or more resort locations in the Caribbean and in the warmer zones of the United States. The Corporation was to purchase its boats from Renegade Recreational Products, Inc., the exclusive manufacturer of the boat. Renegade Recreational Products, Inc. was an affiliate of the Corporation by virtue of a common shareholder at that time. The Corporation spent two years attempting to market the boats and to establish rental locations but it was unable to finalize any contracts for rental locations or to raise sufficient capital to meet its ongoing operations.

Terra Nostra appointed 3 additional members to its Board of Directors in early February 2002, each of whom has experience in the resource sector, including but not limited to mining exploration. Terra Nostra has recently commenced a review of the opportunities afforded with its present oil and gas leases and other possible acquisitions in the oil and gas industry and the mining industry as a result of Terra Nostra's newly appointed directors, Regis Bosse, Carl L. Caumartin and Clement Patenaude. Terra Nostra has also commenced a private offering of its securities to raise funds for operating capital and to identify potential resource projects in both oil and gas and mining. See "PART II ITEM 4. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES."

Terra Nostra's Business

In August 1996, the Corporation purchased from Buccaneer Belize a 10% interest in certain oil and gas assets, known as the Kejr leases by way of a loan from Buccaneer Belize in the amount of $10,450.00. On September 1, 1996, the loan for $10,450.00 was converted into 500 shares of the Corporation's common stock. The Corporation commenced business in the oil and gas industry by the drilling of the first well, the Kejr 23-11, on the leases. The well was completed and production came on line in December 1996. In December 1996, the Corporation acquired a 2% interest in the Hell's Canyon leases, State of Wyoming lease #96-00367, Township 52 North, Range 70 West, 6th P.M., all of Section 16 and Freehold leases, Township 52 North, Range 70 West, 6th P.M., S/2 SW/4 Section 9. The Hells Canyon Leases were acquired for $2,402.26, which was paid for by the issuance of a total of 120 shares in settlement of the purchase on March 1, 1997. Terra Nostra participated in drilling of two further wells on the Kejr leases during 1997, one of which was a dry hole and the other well, the Kejr 24-11, which had marginal production and is presently not producing. The Corporation participated in drilling a well on the Hell's Canyon

3

leases during 1997, which was also a dry hole. After a number of dry holes, management of the Corporation was unable to progress the Corporation beyond its initial oil and gas acquisitions due to a lack of funding and a lack of experienced personnel. The Hell's Canyon leases expired in 2001. Terra Nostra presently holds a 10% working interest in one small producing well located in Colorado, the Kejr 23-11. The operation of the Kejr 23-11 well and the sale of the oil is managed by the operator, Merit Energy Company ("Merit") and thus Terra Nostra is dependent upon the expertise of Merit to deliver the output of this well in the most beneficial manner possible. The operating agreement between the Corporation and the operator, Merit, requires Merit to comply with any and all environmental and other governmental agency laws, regulations and permit requirements. Merit carries excess liability insurance with a limit of $5,000,000. at a cost of $180.00 per annum. The Corporation's portion of the liability insurance of $18.00 per annum is passed onto the Corporation in monthly billings for operating costs. The Corporation is current in payment of its operating costs. The Corporation was quoted $12,000. per annum for extra coverage over and above that covered by Merit as operator but declined to effect such coverage as the costs were prohibitive. Any losses or damages caused in the operation of this well that is not covered by operator's insurance would be a liability for the Corporation. The Corporation believes that the liability insurance carried by the operator is sufficient to pay for any and all claims which may arise from the operation of the well or any breaches of environmental laws, save for any claims which may be due to operator negligence or fraud. The Corporation could be named in any litigation brought against the operator by any party and may be found liable should the operator be unable to pay any awards from such litigation. In such event, the Corporation could be unable to pay and may not be able to continue to exist. The Corporation will also be liable for a pro-rata portion of expenses incurred in the event the well is shut-in which are estimated to be $6,000.

Terra Nostra does not and will not be sponsoring or undertaking any research and development nor does it hold any patents, copyrights or other intellectual property.

The oil and gas business is highly competitive. Terra Nostra faces competition from large numbers of companies engaged in the exploration and development of oil and gas prospects. Many of the companies so engaged possess greater financial and personnel resources than Terra Nostra and therefore have greater leverage to use in developing oil and gas prospects, funding operations, hiring personnel and marketing their production. Accordingly, a high degree of competition in these areas is expected to continue. The major oil and gas companies could aggressively pursue certain acquisition targets that Terra Nostra may be negotiating on and Terra Nostra could not overcome or compete with them due to their financial and corporate strength.

Terra Nostra presently has limited operations. Terra Nostra intends to raise funds for operating capital, to pay expenses and for the acquisition of further oil and gas prospects, both development and exploration prospects and to also look at other opportunities in the mining sector, including the possible acquisition of mineral properties. On February 15, 2002, Terra Nostra commenced an offering to raise $100,000.00 to pay the existing debts of the Corporation and to provide working capital for operations. As of the date of this filing, Terra Nostra has raised $52,890 under this offering at $0.10 per share, of which $27,690 was paid against total debts of $29,183. The remaining debt of $1,493 was paid by a reduction in estimated accounting fees of $700 accrued by the Company and by revenues of $793 received from oil and gas operations. The remaining funds raised from the offering were used for working capital. If the Corporation is successful in closing this offering, it then hopes to raise an additional $900,000. (See "ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATION" below.) Should the Company be successful in locating further prospects it will be required to either, use the proceeds from the second offering, issue additional shares for the acquisitions, or obtain loans. It is unknown at this time whether Terra Nostra will be successful in raising any portion of its required capital.

Terra Nostra's principal place of business and its executive offices are presently located at 1530 - 9th Ave S.E., Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2G 0T7; however, it is looking at relocating its executive offices to the Province of Quebec where the majority of its management is located. Terra Nostra's agent for service of process is located at 318 North Carson St., Suite 208, Carson City, Nevada 89701. (See "DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY" below.) At present the Corporation does not have any full time employees working in the offices at 1530-9th Ave S.E. and three part time employees who handle accounting, administration and legal functions.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

At present Terra Nostra has some revenue from one producing oil and gas well, however recently the expenses from that producing oil well have been in excess of any production revenue. Management is presently raising working capital for Terra Nostra as the Corporation presently does not have sufficient funds to continue operations. Shareholder loans have been used since 1994 to meet ongoing overhead, including acquisition and drilling costs. In 1994, shareholders provided loans of $8,756; in 1996 shareholder loans of $10,450 were provided; in 1997 shareholders loans of $31,340 were provided; in 1998 shareholder loans of $13 were provided; in 2000 shareholder loans of $615 were provided; and in 2001 shareholder loans of $219 were provided.

GENERAL

During the fiscal year ended 2001, Terra Nostra's operations were limited to passive investments in oil and gas leases and one oil well. Each of these investments was acquired during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996. At present, Terra Nostra earns minimal income from production from its oil well in Colorado. Other than these acquisitions and a few stock issuances to meet the Corporation's ongoing overhead, Terra Nostra was not conducting business until recently. Management is presently raising working capital for Terra Nostra as the Corporation will not have sufficient funds to continue operations. Capital from equity issues or borrowing will be required to fund future expansion of Terra Nostra's business. Therefore, the audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, included with this registration statement, are not necessarily indicative of Terra Nostra's future operations. All dollar references in this section and in our financial statements are in U.S. dollars.

PLAN OF OPERATION

Terra Nostra currently does not have sufficient cash or liquid assets to satisfy its cash requirements for the next twelve months. Terra Nostra anticipates that it will need to raise $1,000,000 to cover its overhead and operational needs and increase its capital base through more oil and gas or mining asset acquisitions during the next twelve-month period. The Corporation expects that it will be able to obtain $100,000 through a private placement during the first quarter of fiscal year 2002 and the remaining $900,000 in equity and/or debt financing later in year 2002 to meet this $1,000,000 need. While no specific sources for these purposes have been identified, the Corporation intends to contact investors that have previously provided funds to it.

Terra Nostra does not anticipate incurring any product research or development during the 12 month period. Terra Nostra anticipates expending approximately $700,000 to $900,000 during fiscal year 2002 in oil and gas and/or mining property acquisitions. The Company intends to raise funds for these acquisitions through equity and/or debt financings. During the next twelve months Terra Nostra expects to increase the number of its employees to 4 full-time employees and three part-time employees.
 

ITEM 3. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

Principal Plants and Other Property

Terra Nostra's real estate holdings are limited to office space located at 1530-9th Ave S.E., Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2G OT7.

Terra Nostra is provided office space by International Securities Group Inc. Presently there is no charge to Terra Nostra and no written agreement for this office space, which serves as Terra Nostra's administrative headquarters. International Securities Group Inc. also provides accounting, legal and administration services to the Company. International Securities Group Inc. is also the largest shareholder in Terra Nostra, owning a total of 6,500,000 shares.

Oil and Gas Properties

As discussed above, Terra Nostra has a 10% interest in certain oil and gas leases in Colorado, known as the Kejr leases, S/2 Section 11, Township 2 South, Range 56 West, Washington County, Colorado. There is one producing well on the leases, the Kejr 23-11, and one well, the Kejr 24-11, that is presently not producing and is being evaluated by the operator as to whether to re-complete the well or to plug and abandon it. All other leases held by Terra Nostra have expired.

Terra Nostra participated in the drilling of three wells on the Kejr leases during 1996 and 1997. The Kejr 23-11 came on production in December 1996 and the Kejr 24-11, which was a marginal well, brought on production by the operator in June 1997. The third well drilled on the Kejr leases, the Keela 34-10, was a dry hole. Terra Nostra also participated in drilling a well on the Hell's Canyon leases during 1997. This well was also a dry hole and was plugged and abandoned. After the drilling of one marginal well and two dry holes the Corporation was unable to progress beyond its initial oil and gas acquisitions due to a lack of funding and a lack of experienced personnel. The Hell's Canyon leases expired in 2001.

Reserves

We have not filed any reports of estimated total proved net oil or gas reserves with any governmental agency.

Production

We have not provided information for the years 1999 and 2000 as the Corporation was in a dispute with the previous operator and has been unable to obtain any reports or records relating to the Kejr leases. Buccaneer Belize purchased the interest in the Kejr wells from Bataa Oil Inc., who was the operator of the property at the time of purchase. At the time of the purchase there were a number of other purchasers, some of whom were business associates of Buccaneer Belize who had made substantial investments with Bataa Oil, Inc. not only in relation to the Kejr wells but also in regard to other oil and gas leases. In 1999, certain of those purchasers entered into litigation with Bataa Oil, Inc. asserting claims for accounting, fraud, intentional misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, damages and punitive damages. The Corporation was invited to participate in the litigation against Bataa Oil, Inc. but declined to do so as the costs of litigation could have been well in excess of the amount recovered. As a result of the litigation, Bataa Oil, Inc. declined to provide any operating information on the Kejr wells to any of the working interest owners including the Corporation. Despite repeated requests by Buccaneer Belize and the Corporation, the information was never provided. Also, any revenues which may have been accrued or been earned have not been received to date. Bataa Oil Inc. sold the Kejr leases to the present operator, Merit on January 1, 2001. Merit took over operation of the Kejr leases in March, 2001 and the Corporation then began receiving operating statements and revenues on the Kejr leases. The Corporation has been trying to obtain the past operating information through the newly appointed operator, Merit, who has the well files received from Bataa Oil, Inc. on the purchase of the Kejr leases. Should we be successful in obtaining the information, we do not expect to be successful in collecting any revenues that may be owing without commencing litigation against Bataa Oil, Inc. As management of the Corporation believes that the costs of such litigation would far exceed any revenues that may be recovered and it has no plans to attempt to collect the revenues which may be owed to the Corporation by Bataa by commencing litigation.

Acreage and Wells

Developed Acreage - As of December 31, 2001, the Corporation owned a working interest in 320 total gross acres and 32 total net acres; "gross acres" means acres in which Terra Nostra has a working interest and "net acres" means Terra Nostra's aggregate working interest in the gross acres. This acreage relates to S/2 Section 11, Township 2 South, Range 56 West, Washington County, Colorado known as the Kejr leases.

Undeveloped Acreage - As of December 31, 2001 the Corporation held no further interest in any undeveloped acres.

Drilling Activity - The Corporation participated in the drilling of three wells on the Kejr leases, one in 1996 and two in 1997. The Kejr 23-11 came on production in December, 1996, the Kejr 24-11 came on production in June, 1997 and the Kella 34-10 was a dry hole. The Kejr 24-11, that is presently not producing, is being evaluated by the operator who will be determining whether to re-complete the well or to plug and abandon it during 2002. The Corporation also participated in drilling a well on the Hell's Canyon leases during 1997 which was a dry hole. No further drilling activity has taken place since 1997.

On March 1, 1997 the Corporation was directed by 326591 B.C. Ltd, a creditor of the Corporation, to issue 120 shares to Mr. Winsor in settlement of a liability of $2,402. Mr. Winsor is a director and officer of 326591 B.C. Ltd.

During the year ended December 31, 1994 the Corporation lent $7,056 to Renegade Recreational Products Inc., a Company in which Mr. Winsor is a director, officer and a shareholder. The debt accrues interest at the rate of 10% per annum and has no specified repayment terms. At December 31, 2001 the total debt was $13,750.

On August 20, 1996 Buccaneer Belize, lent the Corporation $10,450 for the purchase of the Kejr Leases on behalf of the Corporation. Prior to this transaction, Buccaneer Belize was the sole shareholder of the Corporation. Buccaneer Belize accepted 500 shares of Common Stock on September 1, 1996 in settlement of this debt. On September 1, 1996 Buccaneer Belize assigned its 10% working interest in Petroleum and Natural Gas leases located in Washington County, Colorado to the Corporation. Additionally on June 1, 1997, Buccaneer Belize transferred its 2% working interest in Petroleum and Natural Gas leases known as the "Hells Canyon Prospect" located in Wyoming to the Corporation. From the time of acquisition of these properties in September 1996 through December 31, 2001, Buccaneer Belize paid drilling costs on the Kejr and Hells Canyon leases totaling $39,215. and all of the income for the period ending December 31, 1998. For the years 1997 and a portion of 1998 a total of $21,412. in production revenue from the Kejr wells was received by Buccaneer Belize and was offset against the Corporation's outstanding loans. Income for a portion of 1998 and the years 1999 and 2000 were withheld by the previous operator as a result of a dispute and therefore neither Buccaneer Belize nor the Corporation received any income from the Kejr well during this period. As a result, Buccaneer Belize paid out expenses in excess of all income received from the wells.

 ITEM 5. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

The Nevada General Corporation Law requires Terra Nostra to indemnify officers and directors for any expenses incurred by any officer or director in connection with any actions or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, brought against such officer or director because of his or her status as an officer or director, to the extent that the director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of the action or proceeding. The Nevada General Corporation Law permits a corporation to indemnify an officer or director, even in the absence of an agreement to do so, for expenses incurred in connection with any action or proceeding if such officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner in which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and such indemnification is authorized by the stockholders, by a quorum of disinterested directors, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion authorized by a majority vote of a quorum of directors consisting of disinterested directors, or by independent legal counsel in a written opinion if a quorum of disinterested directors cannot be obtained. Terra Nostra's Articles of Incorporation eliminate personal liability of directors and officers, to Terra Nostra or its stockholders, for damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors or officers, except for liability (i) for acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law, or (ii) for the unlawful payment of dividends.

In addition, Terra Nostra's Bylaws provide that Terra Nostra shall indemnify, to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by law, its officers and directors for any liability including the reasonable costs of defense arising out of any act or omission of any officer or director on behalf of the Corporation.

The Nevada General Corporation Law prohibits indemnification of a director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that the officer's or director's acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law and were material to the cause of action. Despite the foregoing limitations on indemnification, the Nevada General Corporation Law may permit an officer or director to apply to the court for approval of indemnification even if the officer or director is adjudged to have committed intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law.

14

The Nevada General Corporation Law also provides that indemnification of directors is not permitted for the unlawful payment of distributions, except for those directors registering their dissent to the payment of the distribution.

Terra Nostra Resources Ltd.
(Formerly known as Renegade Recreational Rentals Inc.)
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2001 and 2000

Note 1- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

This summary of significant accounting policies of Terra Nostra Resources Ltd. is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements, which are stated in U.S. Dollars.

Organization

Renegade Recreational Rentals Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 7, 1994 for the purpose of renting jet boats. The Company's Charter was revoked on November 1, 1996 and subsequently re-instated on October 11, 2000. The Company name has been changed to Terra Nostra Resources Ltd.

During 1994, the Company funded the development of a jet boat prototype. Due to inherent mechanical and structural problems with the jet boat, the project was deemed infeasible and subsequently abandoned.

Operations

Oil and Gas Activities:

During the year 1996, Company acquired a 10% interest in certain Petroleum and Natural Gas Rights located in Washington County, Colorado, known as the "Kejr Prospect". In 1997, the Company acquired a 2% interest in Petroleum and Natural Gas Rights located in Wyoming, known as "Hells Canyon Prospect".

The Company has elected to follow the full cost method of accounting for these activities. Accordingly, all costs associated with acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves, including directly related overhead costs are capitalized.

All capitalized costs of oil and gas properties, including the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves, are depleted on the unit of production method using estimates of proved reserves. Investments in unproved properties and major development projects are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the projects can be determined or until impairment occurs. If the results of an assessment indicate that the properties are impaired, the amount of the impairment is added to the capitalized costs to be amortized.

In addition, the capitalized costs are subject to a "ceiling test", which basically limits such costs to the aggregate of the "estimated present value" discounted at a 10-precent interest rate of future net revenues from proved reserves based on current economic and operating conditions, plus the lower of cost or fair market value of unproved reserves.

Sales of proved and unproved properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in income. Abandonment of properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no loss recognized. At December 31, 2001, the average production cost per unit of oil was greater than the average sales price per unit of oil produced. Accordingly, the oil and gas leases have been written down in their entirety.

21

Development Stage Enterprise

Based upon the Company's business plan, it is a development stage enterprise as of the year ending December 31, 2001. Accordingly, the Company presents its financial statements in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States that apply in establishing operating enterprises. As a development stage enterprise, the Company disclosed the deficit accumulated deficit during the development stage and the cumulative statements of operations and cash flows from inception to the current balance sheet date.

Use of Estimates in the preparation of the financial statements

The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed based on the weighted average number of 1,000 common shares the year ended December 31, 2001 and 981 weighted average number of common shares for the year 2000, respectively. Fully diluted earnings per share are not presented because they are anti-dilutive.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to substantial risks and uncertainties inherent in the operation of oil and gas properties.

Restatement of Financial Statements 

The financials statements have been restated from that previously filed and made publicly available to reflect the provisions of FASB7 - "Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises." In addition, the net loss for the year 2001 have been reduced by $24,897 resulting from the a reduction in interest income of $1,250 and a reduction in expenses of $26,157 for impairment of oil and gas properties effected in the year 2000. Certain other reclassifications have been made to conform to current classification. The effect of the restatement is to reduce the net loss per common share by $24.89, from $26.08 per share to $1.19 per share.

Note 2 - Stockholders' Equity

Common Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000 shares of common stock at no par value and had 1,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2001 and 981 for the year 2000.

22

Subsequent to the year end, on January 21, 2002 the shareholders approved the increase in the authorized capitalization of the Company to 100 million shares of common stock at a par value of $0.001. Additionally, the shareholders resolved to forward split the common stock at a ratio of 7,500: 1.

Warrants and options

There are no warrants or options outstanding to issue any additional shares of common stock.

Note 3 - Related Party Transactions

Clifford L. Winsor, a director of the Company is owed $8,786 with respect to business expenses paid by him on behalf of the Company. At December 31, 2001 this liability is included in Shareholders' Loans.

Buccaneer Belize, a Company located in Belize, has provided loans totaling $17,397. These loans bear no interest and have no stated repayment terms. At December 31, 2001, this liability is included in Shareholders' Loans.

During the year ended December 31, 1994 the Company lent $7,056 to Renegade Recreational Products Inc., a Company in which Mr. Winsor is a director and officer. The debt accrues interest at the rate of 10% per annum and has no specified repayment terms. At December 31, 2001 the total debt, which is disclosed as Loan Receivable, was $13,750.

Note 4 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin no. 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB 101 summarized certain of the SEC's views regarding the application of generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. In June 2000, the SEC amended SAB 101 to acquire companies with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1999 to implement the provisions of SAB 101 no later than the fourth fiscal quarter. The Company adopted the provision of SAB 101 in fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2000. The Company does not expect the adoption to have material effect on its financial statements.

Note 5 - Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," ("SFAS 109"). Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. There were no current or deferred income tax expenses or benefits due to the fact that the Company did not have any material operations for the three years period.

The income taxes were calculated at the statutory rates of the federal and state franchise tax authorities.

The Company has incurred losses that can be carried forward to offset future earnings of condition of the Internal Revenue Codes are met.
