NOTE 1  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
    In view of the bankruptcy of the Company's operating subsidiaries and the subsequent sale of substantially all of the Company's assets (see the response to Item 2 below), the Company has elected to set forth financial information for the three and nine month periods ended February 28, 2009 only with respect to its continuing operations.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant recurring net losses since inception, current liabilities exceed current assets and substantially all of its aged payables are technically in default. It is the Company's belief that it will continue to require additional funds to be obtained from private or public equity investments, and possible future collaborative agreements to become a viable entity. In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its financing requirements, and the success of its future operations.

Management has implemented, or developed plans to implement, a number of actions to address these conditions. The success of its future operations cannot be determined at this time. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The financial statements do not include any adjustment to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the success of the Company in obtaining additional funding or the success of its future operations. The Company's ability to achieve these objectives cannot be determined at this time. The accompanying financial statements should not be regarded as typical for normal operating periods.

NOTE 3 - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings or loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings or loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalents. Basic earnings/loss per share is computed by dividing income/loss (numerator) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) for the period. All earnings or loss per share amounts in the financial statements are basic earnings or loss per share, as defined by SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." Diluted earnings or loss per share does not differ materially from basic earnings or loss per share for all periods presented. Convertible securities that could potentially dilute basic loss per share, such as options and warrants, are not included in the computation of diluted loss per share because to do so would be antidilutive. All per share and per share information are adjusted retroactively to reflect stock splits and changes in par value.

Item 2.
 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
     On October 2, 2008, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania (the “Bankruptcy Court”) assumed jurisdiction over substantially all of the assets and business of the Registrant pursuant to a petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, which petition was filed by Registrant’s majority-owned subsidiary, WP Hickman Systems, Inc. together with Hickman’s wholly owned subsidiaries Hickman Manufacturing, Inc. and A.M. Technologies, Inc., constituting all of Registrant’s subsidiaries (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”).
 
On February 27, 2009, pursuant to Sections 105, 363 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and applicable rules, the Bankruptcy Court entered a final order (i) approving the sale of substantially all of the assets of Registrant’s Subsidiaries (the “Asset Sale”) to WPH Acquisition Company, LLC (“Highest Bidder”); (ii) authorizing the assumption, assignment and sale of certain executory contracts and unexpired leases of the Subsidiaries to Highest Bidder in connection with the Asset Sale (the “Assigned Contracts”); and (iii) granting certain related relief, which order was entered by the Bankruptcy Court prior to, and outside of, a plan of reorganization (the “Court Order”).  The Court Order also provided that the Subsidiaries will (i) cure any monetary default existing under any Assigned Contract, and (ii) compensate actual losses resulting from any default under any Assigned Contract, or provide adequate assurances with respect thereto, prior to the closing of the Asset Sale.
 
The Court Order carved out of $175,000 from the proceeds of the Asset Sale for allowed administrative claims under Bankruptcy Code Section 503(b), and further directed the payment of net proceeds, in the amount of $1,025,000 (the “Net Proceeds”), to FirstMerit Bank, N.A. (“FirstMerit”).  The Court Order also found that, after receipt of the Net Proceeds, First Merit will have an allowed non-priority general unsecured claim in the total amount of $2,105,605 (the “FirstMerit Deficiency Claim”), provided, however, that the first $300,000 from the net proceeds of any litigation claims that remain with the Subsidiaries following the Asset Sale shall be applied to the FirstMerit Deficiency Claim, and thereafter, the balance of the of the First Merit Deficiency Claim shall be paid pro rata with all other non-priority general unsecured claims.
 
Registrant is a holding company, whose principal operations are carried out through the Subsidiaries.  The Asset Sale and the assumption and assignment of the Assigned Contracts occurred on March 2, 2009, constituting a disposition of substantially all of the Registrant’s assets.  Other than in respect of the Asset Sale and related Assigned Contracts, there is no material relationship between Highest Bidder and the Registrant or the Registrant’s Subsidiaries, or any of their respective affiliates, officers, directors, or any associate of any such directors or officers.

The company is currently still selling minimal amounts of its Fridge Tape product to several national retailers and catalog companies and is in various stages of discussions with several new technology companies for exclusive Marketing, Sales and Distribution Agreements. No assurances can be given as to the company’s success in achieving final executed agreements with these organizations.
 
     
Item 3.
 
Controls and Procedures
 
     It is the responsibility of our chief executive officer/chief financial officer to ensure that we maintain controls and other procedures designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file with the Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Item 1.
 
Legal Proceedings
 
     Reference is made to the Company’s 10K/A report filed for the period ending May 31, 2008. In addition, the following case has been updated as follows:

On September 10, 2008 the Company filed an action in the United States District Court, Middle District of Florida (Serefex Corporation vs. Hickman Holdings, L.P., Chressian, LLC, and The D'Anza Family Trust, United States Federal District Court, Middle District of Florida, Case No. 2:08-CV-692-FTM-29-DNF).  The Complaint sets forth that in connection with an October 20, 2007 Stock Exchange Agreement between Serefex Corporation, Hickman Holdings, LP, Chressian, LLC, and The D’Anza Family Trust (the “Agreement”), the Defendants’ breached their contractual and fiduciary duties under the Stock Exchange Agreement and undertook fraudulent conduct, resulting in grossly inadequate consideration paid by Serefex for the shares of common stock of W.P. Hickman Systems, Inc. acquired from the Defendants.  On March 19, 2009, Serefex filed a First Amended Complaint, which reduced duplicitous legal theories as well as added Biltmore Investments, Ltd. as a Defendant.  The First Amended Complaint alleges that Biltmore Investments, Ltd. is a North Carolina licensed Real Estate and Business Brokerage concern and is not licensed to sell real estate in the State of Florida.  Additionally, the First Amended Complaint alleges that Biltmore Investments, Ltd. is not licensed to sell securities in the states of North Carolina, Florida or Ohio.  Finally, as a result of Biltmore Investments, Ltd. not being licensed, we have alleged the September 7, 2007 Business Brokerage Agreement between Biltmore Investments, Ltd and Defendants The D’Anza Family Trust, Hickman Holdings, LP and Chressian, LLC. is invalid and unenforceable and Biltmore Investments, Ltd. is not entitled to receive a finder's fee of five percent (5%) in cash or shares of Serefex stock.

     In addition, we are, from time to time, parties to various litigation matters arising in the normal course of our business. We are not currently involved in any litigation of this nature that we believe, based on our examination of such matters, are likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
