PART I
 
 
General
 
Clinical Trials of the Americas, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada in August 2007 provide clinical trial investigator services to pharmaceutical companies throughout the Americas. Our principal executive office location and mailing address is 210 Walford Way Cary, NC 27519.  Our telephone number is 919-414-1458.  Our fiscal year end is September 30.
 
We were incorporated in Nevada in August 2007 to conduct clinical trials for pharmaceutical companies in dedicated sites throughout the Americas. Initially, we intend to introduce our services in Central America. This is being done primarily because the costs of drug development are significantly lower and the clinical quality is that of the US.  The Company will sell its services to Pharmaceutical, Biotech and medical Device companies that are primarily US based.
 
We are establishing business relationships with preferred contract research organizations that will source, package and our services to their clients. Many pharmaceutical companies prefer large global companies that can provide a one-stop shop approach. Since what we do is only a sub segment of the clients total needs we will be a subcontractor should those CRO’s find opportunities where our services can be of benefit to their clients.
 
Currently, we lack sufficient capital to take advantage of opportunities to implement our business model.
 
Services
 
We will offer high-quality dedicated research services for pharmaceutical companies who are doing clinical trials to gain FDA approval for new drugs or a currently marketed drug that the company is applying to the FDA for a different indication.
 
One of the key features of the dedicated model is the blending of good business practices with good research practices, efficiency and productivity with scholarship and research discipline.  Physicians and others who own and run these centers are frequently:
 
     Transplanted academic faculty,
           
     “Key Opinion Leaders” (KOLs are key customers of the pharmaceutical industry who are sought after to provide advice to the industry and medical education to the medical community), and
 
     Possess specialized skills and credentials to conduct clinical trials.
 
One of the most notable strengths of the dedicated research center model is the singularity of purpose. These centers solely exist to conduct clinical research. There are no students or patients. To be successful, dedicated research centers cannot rely on other activities for income. Our livelihood is made by conducting clinical research alone.
 
Industry Trends
 
Trends Affecting the Drug Discovery and Development Industry
 
We believe that there are four trends that are affecting the drug discovery and development services industry:
 
1.        Rapid Technological Change and Increased Data
 
Scientific and technological advancements are rapidly changing the drug discovery and development processes. The technology to understand gene function is dramatically increasing the number of identified potential drug targets within the human body. Pharmaceuticals on the market today have historically targeted no more than an estimated 500 human gene products.  With an estimated 20,000 to 25,000 human protein-coding genes, an enormous number of targets for therapeutic intervention remain untapped.  Tapping these targets will require more state-of-the-art technology and greater expertise.  The more rapidly pharmaceutical research companies adopt advanced technology and expertise, the more rapidly treatment drugs will be introduced to the market.
 

-1-

 

 
2.        Government-Sponsored Drug R&D
 
Government agencies continue to be a significant source of funding for new drug and vaccine research and development.  The total budget of the National Institutes of Health, for the fiscal year 2007 was an estimated $31 billion, representing a near 10% CAGR since 1998. The full year 2008 NIH budget estimate is approximately $34 billion and includes significant appropriations for drug research and development initiatives in the areas of cancer, vaccines, AIDS and chronic diseases such as diabetes.  As a result, drug research and development service providers and contractors, including clinical sites, should continue to benefit from government-sponsored research and development initiatives
 
3.        Increase in Potential New Drug Candidates
 
A recent increase in potential new drug candidates has caused a bottleneck in the drug development industry, notably in the early stages of drug development.  A large number of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies do not have sufficient internal resources to pursue all of the potential new drug candidates in a timely and economical fashion.  The ability of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to find qualified drug discovery and development service companies to assist them in the early stage drug development process will result in a cost-effective, innovative, and rapid means of developing new drugs.
 
4.        Biotechnology Industry Growth
 
Over the past decade, the U.S. biotechnology industry has grown rapidly.  This industry is generating significant numbers of new drug candidates that will require development and regulatory approval.  Biotechnology firms do not have the staff nor the expertise to conduct clinical trials on their own, so they rely on outside services.  Continued growth in this industry will have a significant direct impact on growth in the overall clinical trial industry.
 
Market
 
Drug Development Process
 
The drug development process is often an expensive and lengthy process, averaging over nine years or more and costing an estimated half a billion dollars from preclinical studies through FDA approval.
 
The first stage in the development process is preclinical testing, which averages around 18 months but can take as long as three years to complete.  This stage involves testing on animals to help establish potential in pharmacologic use and boundaries for safe use on testing of human subjects.  If data from the preclinical trials supports testing in human subjects, then the sponsor files an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the FDA to request permission to begin clinical trials.
 
Clinical trials can be classified into four phases, although in reality the phases overlap and trials in one phase are often conducted simultaneously with trials in other phases.
 
Phase I:    First Stage of Testing in Humans
 
Phase II:  Dose-Finding and Safety Studies
 
Phase III: Expanded Large-Scale Safety and Efficacy Studies
 
Phase IV: Post-Marketing Studies
 
PHASE I:
 
Phase I consists of the evaluation of clinical pharmacology and toxicity.  Highlights of Phase I are:
 
 
 ·
Conducted to establish how a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized and eliminated from the body.
 
 ·
Conducted to determine the appropriate dose range with regard to safety.
 
 ·
Conducted in a limited number of healthy volunteer, typically around 20-80 patients.
 
 ·
Usually takes between nine and 18 months to complete.
 
PHASE II:
 
Phase II involves the initial evaluation of the trial drug for safety and treatment effect.  Highlights of Phase II are:
 
 
 ·
Conducted in a relatively limited number of patients (between 100 and 300) who have the disease or condition to be treated.
 
 ·
Focuses on dose-response, dosing schedule, or other issues related to preliminary safety and efficacy.
 
 ·
Usually takes anywhere from one to three years to complete.
 
If studies show that the new drug is safe and useful, testing may proceed to Phase III trials.
 

-2-

 
PHASE III:
 
Phase III studies are used for large scale treatment evaluation, and this phase of a study often produces much of the information eventually used for package labeling and the package insert. Highlights of Phase III are:
 
 
 ·
Conducted in larger (several hundred to several thousand) and more diverse patient groups for whom the drug is ultimately intended.
 
 ·
Makes comparisons between the new treatment and standard therapy or placebo.
 
 ·
Establishes safety and efficacy features of the drug.
 
 ·
Usually takes between two and five years to complete.
 
PHASE IV:
 
Phase IV includes post-marketing studies.  Once a drug treatment has been marketed, additional information may be collected by performing Phase IV trials.  These trials may be conducted to provide additional information such as:
 
 
 ·
Testing new doses.
 
 ·
Exploring new indicators.
 
 ·
Documenting impact on morbidity and mortality.
 
 ·
Evaluating patient subgroups (minorities, women, or children)
 
MARKETING
 
We will market ourselves through direct contact and sales with pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device companies. We will also market ourselves to CRO’s whom we believe can be a major channel of distribution for the company. Based on the founder’s background we believe that their previous work in the clinical trial area will be an opportunity on which we can capitalize. We will also develop a website, www.clinicaltrialsoftheamericas.com,to help promote sales and reach out to consumers.
 
We believe our most effective marketing tool will be face-to-face discussions where our business development people can engage in a consultative sales process with their client base. We will focus heavily on this strategy. Our CRO partners are quite comfortable packaging dedicated and non-dedicated clinical research site to meet the needs of their clients. We will be developing sales presentations and collateral material to support this multi level approach.
 
PUBLIC RELATIONS
 
In addition to our direct and channel-focused tactics, we will use traditional public relations to raise awareness and create demand among target customers. Our public relations strategy is designed to build company awareness with a limited cash outlay.
 
·             Product Kit. We will develop a sales kit that contains information about the Company, its services, key differentiators with our model and contact information. The kit will also include recent press releases, endorsements and awards.
 
·             Paid Product Placements. Where appropriate, we will pay to have its services mentioned or placed in the print and/or web-based publications of select publications. For example, Advanastar publishes a monthly magazine called R&D Directions.
    
·             Key Exhibits. Where advantageous, we will enter pay to set up what is typically a 10x10 booth space at key trade shows and conferences. This has proven to be a highly effective manner to meet and qualify clients. This saves the company on travel and time expense. At select conferences it would not be unusual to meet with over 100 people over a two-day period.
 
·             Speaking Engagements. We will actively seek to have our management team present at key conferences as a way to build the clinical credibility of the company. Many of these conferences are looking for speakers either as a keynote speaker or to be part of a panel of experts.
 
                 ·             Media Relations. We will work to establish relations with key reporters and opinion leaders at trade magazines and newsletters focused on the Americas.

PART II
 
 
Our common stock was approved to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board system under the symbol “CLLL” since June 11, 2008. However, to date there has been no trading market for our Common Stock.

The market price of our common stock is subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in our quarterly operating results, general trends in the market, and other factors, over many of which we have little or no control. In addition, broad market fluctuations, as well as general economic, business and political conditions, may adversely affect the market for our common stock, regardless of our actual or projected performance.

Holders of Our Common Stock

As of December 31, 2008, we had 40 shareholders of our common stock.

Stock Option Grants

To date, we have not granted any stock options.

Registration Rights

We have not granted registration rights to the selling shareholders or to any other persons.


Not applicable.

 
Plan of Operation
 
We were incorporated in Nevada in August 2007 to conduct clinical trials for pharmaceuticals in dedicated sites throughout the Americas. Initially, we intend to introduce our services in Central America. This is being done primarily because the costs of drug development are significantly lower and the clinical quality is that of the US.  We will sell our services to Pharmaceutical, Biotech and Medical Device companies that are primarily US based.  Our principal executive office location and mailing address is 210 Walford Way Cary, NC 27519.  Our telephone number is 919-414-1458.

We are establishing business relationships with preferred Clinical Research Organization’s (“CRO’s”) who will source and package our services to their clients. Many pharmaceutical companies prefer large global companies that can provide a one-stop shop approach. Since what we do is only a sub segment of the client’s total needs we will be a subcontractor should those CRO’s find opportunities where our services can be of benefit to their clients.

We have not begun operations.

1.             As we raised more than $124,000 in our private placement, we believe we can begin to implement our plan to provide clinical trial services throughout the Americas.

2.             All business functions will be coordinated and managed by the two founders of the Company, including marketing, finance and operations. As we raised more than $124,000 through our private placement, we intend to hire a part-time employee to facilitate with the acquisition of contracts and assist in targeted marketing implementation. The time commitment of the position will depend upon the aggressiveness of our product launch, but we believe it will require a minimum of $15,000 to hire the personnel needed to assist with our new business activity.

3.             We intend to launch a targeted marketing campaign focusing on trade show participation, media promotions and public relations. We intend to support these marketing efforts through the development of high quality printed marketing materials and an attractive and informative trade and consumer website, wwwclinicaltrialsofamerica.com. We expect the total cost of the marketing program to range from $10,000 to $75,000.  During this preliminary launch period, we also expect to invest between $1,000 and $5,000 in accounting and inventory management software.

4.             Within 90-120 days of the initiation of our marketing campaign, we believe that we will begin to generate revenues from our marketing activities and targeted media approach.

In summary, we expected to begin generating sales revenues from our initial launch within 150 days of completing our private placement, which concluded in October 2007.  To date we have not commenced generating revenues and do not know when we will begin generating revenues.

Due to our inability to obtain adequate financing in our inability to sucessfully implement our business plan, we feel that it is necessary for us to cease operations and actively pursue a potential reverse merger candidate.
 
Limited Operating History

We have generated less than one full year of financial information and have not previously demonstrated that we will be able to expand our business through an increased investment in our product line and/or marketing efforts. We cannot guarantee that the expansion efforts described in this report will be successful. Our business is subject to risks inherent in growing an enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible rejection of our new products and/or sales methods.

If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue expanding our operations. Equity financing will result in a dilution to existing shareholders.
 
Results of Operations
 
We did not have any operating income from inception through September 30, 2008. For the year ended September 30, 2008, we recognized a net loss of $124,665 compared to the period August 14, 2007 (inception) to September 30, 2007 of $12,300 and for the period from inception through September 30, 2008, we recognized a net loss of $136,965.  Expenses for the year were comprised of costs mainly associated with legal, accounting and office.
 
Capital Resources and Liquidity
 
As of September 30, 2008, we had $5,446 in cash and therefore we have limited capital resources and will rely upon the issuance of common stock and additional capital contributions from shareholders to fund administrative expenses. Cash and cash equivalents from inception to date have been sufficient to cover expenses involved in starting our business. We will require additional funds to continue to implement and expand our business plan during the next twelve months
 
We currently do not have enough cash to satisfy our minimum cash requirements for the next twelve months. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, we are in the development stage with no operations and have a net loss since inception of $136,965 and negative cash flows from operations of $133,496 for the period from August 14, 2007 (inception) to September 30, 2008. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for us to continue as a going concern.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (SFAS 161). This statement is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments within the scope of SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133) as well as related hedged items, bifurcated derivatives, and nonderivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments. Entities with instruments subject to SFAS 161 must provide more robust qualitative disclosures and expanded quantitative disclosures. SFAS 161 is effective prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application permitted. We are currently evaluating the disclosure implications of this statement.
 
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) SFAS No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”. This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”). The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141R, and other GAAP. This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS FSP 142-3, but does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (SFAS 162”).  SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.  This statement shall be effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval 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.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 162, but does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.” Diversity exists in practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises under FASB Statement No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises. This results in inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim liabilities. This Statement requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. This Statement requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. The accounting and disclosure requirements of the Statement will improve the quality of information provided to users of financial statements. The adoption of FASB 163 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
 
 
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We do not have substantial operations at this time so they are not susceptible to these market risks.  If, however, they begin to generate substantial revenue, their operations will be materially impacted by interest rates and market prices.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 
To the Board of Directors of:
Clinical Trials of the Americas, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Clinical Trials of the Americas, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of September 30, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholder’s equity and cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2008 and the period August 14, 2007 (Inception) to September 30, 2007 and the period August 14, 2007 (inception) to September 30, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of Clinical Trials of the Americas, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of September 30, 2008 and 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flow for the for year ended September 30, 2008 and the period August 14, 2007 (Inception) to September 30, 2007 and the period August 14, 2007 (inception) to September 30, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements, the Company is in the development stage with no operations and has a net loss since inception of $136,965 and negative cash flows from operations of $133,496 from inception.  This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans concerning this matter are also described in Note 6.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

CLINICAL TRIALS OF THE AMERICAS, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2008


NOTE 1   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION

(A) Organization

Clinical Trials of the Americas, Inc. (a development stage company) (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on August 14, 2007.  Clinical Trials of the Americas, Inc. is a service-based firm that will provide clinical trial instigator services to pharmaceutical companies throughout the Americas.

Activities during the development stage include developing the business plan and raising capital.

(B) Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(C) Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  At September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, the Company had no cash equivalents.

(D) Loss Per Share

Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.”  As of September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, there were no common share equivalents outstanding.

(E) Property and Equipment

The Company values property and equipment at cost and depreciates these assets using the straight-line method over their expected useful life. The Company uses a five year life for computer equipment.

CLINICAL TRIALS OF THE AMERICAS, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2008

(F) 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 bases.  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.  Under SFAS 109, 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.

As of September 30, 2008, the Company has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $130,500 available to offset future taxable income through 2028.  The valuation allowance at September 30, 2008 was $49,818.  The net change in the valuation allowance for the period ended September 30, 2008 was an increase of $46,044.

(G) Business Segments

The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.

(H) Revenue Recognition

The Company will recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” and No. 104, “Revenue Recognition”.  In all cases, revenue will be recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

(I) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (SFAS 161). This statement is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments within the scope of SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133) as well as related hedged items, bifurcated derivatives, and nonderivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments. Entities with instruments subject to SFAS 161 must provide more robust qualitative disclosures and expanded quantitative disclosures. SFAS 161 is effective prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application permitted. We are currently evaluating the disclosure implications of this statement.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2008

 
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) SFAS No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets. This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”). The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141R, and other GAAP. This FSP is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS FSP 142-3, but does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (SFAS 162”).  SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.  This statement shall be effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval 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.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 162, but does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.” Diversity exists in practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises under FASB Statement No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises. This results in inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim liabilities. This Statement requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. This Statement requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. The accounting and disclosure requirements of the Statement will improve the quality of information provided to users of financial statements. The adoption of FASB 163 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2008

 
For the period from August 14, 2007 (Inception) through September 30, 2007 a shareholder of the Company contributed cash of $100 (See Note 4).

(C) Stock Issued for Services

On August 14, 2007, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock to its founders having a fair value of $500 ($0.0001/share) in exchange for services provided.

NOTE 4   COMMITMENTS

On October 12, 2007 the Company entered into a consulting agreement to receive administrative and other miscellaneous services.  The Company is required to pay $5,000 a month.  The agreement will remain in effect unless either party desires to cancel the agreement.

NOTE 5   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

For the year ended September 30, 2008 the shareholder of the Company contributed services having a fair value of $5,200 (See Note 3).

For the period from August 14, 2007 (Inception) through September 30, 2007, the Company received $100 from a principal stockholder. Proceeds have been recorded as an in-kind contribution (See Note 3).

For the period from August 14, 2007 (Inception) through September 30, 2007 the shareholder of the Company contributed services having a fair value of $700 (See Note 3).

NOTE 6   GOING CONCERN

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company is in the development stage with no operations and has a net loss since inception of $136,965 and negative cash flows from operations of $133,496 from inception. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

Our accountant is Webb & Company. P.A, independent certified public accountants. We do not presently intend to change accountants. At no time have there been any disagreements with such accountants regarding any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.
 
 
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Accounting Officer (“CAO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CAO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CAO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of consolidated financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 
PART III
 
 
We have two Directors and Officers as follows:

Name
Age
Positions and Offices Held
     
John Cline
50
President/Director
Beverly W. Cline
50
Secretary and Director

John Cline, 50, President.  Mr. Cline has been president, chief executive officer and a member of Etrials' board of directors since March 2000. Mr. Cline was the Vice President of Sales and Marketing of MiniDoc AB, a publicly held Swedish corporation, from September 1997 until December 1999, when he founded and became the president, chief executive officer and a member of the Board of Directors of Expidata, Inc., which was acquired by Etrials in March 2000. Mr. Cline received his BA degree from the University of Georgia
 
Beverly W. Cline, 50, Secretary.  Beverly W. Cline was a cofounder of Exipidata, which through numerous transactions became Etrials worldwide a NASDAQ Global Market company. Mrs. Cline was instrumental in the planning, developing and execution of the company’s early business plan. She is also active in various investments and business ventures. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree from West Virginia University.
 
We will not enter into a business combination, or acquire any assets of any kind for its securities, in which our management or any affiliates or associates have any interest, direct or indirect.

There are no binding guidelines or procedures for resolving potential conflicts of interest. Failure by management to resolve conflicts of interest in favor of us could result in liability of management to us. However, any attempt by shareholders to enforce a liability of management to us would most likely be prohibitively expensive and time consuming.
 
Term of Office
 
Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board.
 
Audit Committee  
 
We do not have a standing audit committee of the Board of Directors. Management has determined not to establish an audit committee at present because of our limited resources and limited operating activities do not warrant the formation of an audit committee or the expense of doing so. We do not have a financial expert serving on the Board of Directors or employed as an officer based on management’s belief that the cost of obtaining the services of a person who meets the criteria for a financial expert under Item 401(e) of Regulation S-B is beyond its limited financial resources and the financial skills of such an expert are simply not required or necessary for us to maintain effective internal controls and procedures for financial reporting in light of the limited scope and simplicity of accounting issues raised in its financial statements at this stage of its development.

Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.

Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that before our auditor is engaged by us or our subsidiaries to render any auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement be:

-approved by our audit committee; or

-entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the audit committee, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular  service,  the  audit committee is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the audit committee's responsibilities to management.

We do not have an audit committee.  Our entire board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. The pre-approval process has just been implemented in response to the new rules. Therefore, our board of directors does  not have  records of  what percentage of the above fees were pre-approved.  However, all of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the entire board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.
