MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS PRELIMINARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Statements contained in this Plan of Operation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB include "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the "Securities Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause the actual results of the Company (sometimes referred to as "we", "us" or the "Company"), performance (financial or operating) or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements not to occur or be realized. Such forward-looking statements generally are based upon the Company's best estimates of future results, general merger and acquisition activity in the marketplace, performance or achievement, based upon current conditions and the most recent results of operations. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "project," "expect," "believe," "estimate," "anticipate," "intends," "continue", "potential," "opportunity" or similar terms, variations of those terms or the negative of those terms or other variations of those terms or comparable words or expressions. (See the Company's Form 10SB for a description of certain of the known risks and uncertainties of the Company.) RESULTS OF OPERATION FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2002. The Company had no revenues or operations for the three month period in 2003 or 2002. The Company incurred $91 in miscellaneous expenses in the period in 2003 and no expenses in the period in 2002. The net loss for the three month period was ($91) in 2003 and $0 in 2002. Loss per share was nominal in 2002 and none in 2002 for the period. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company does not have capital sufficient to meet the Company's cash needs, including the costs of compliance with the continuing reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. The Company will have to seek loans or equity placements to cover such cash needs. In the event the Company is able to complete a business combination during this period, lack of its existing capital may be a sufficient impediment to prevent it from accomplishing the goal of completing a business combination. There is no assurance, however, that without funds it will ultimately allow registrant to complete a business combination. Once a business combination is completed, the Company's needs for additional financing are likely to increase substantially. Irrespective of whether the Company's cash assets prove to be inadequate to meet the Company's operational needs, the Company might seek to compensate providers of services by issuances of stock in lieu of cash. 8 ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. The Company has disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) to ensure that material information contained in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely and accurate basis. Based on such evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective at ensuring that material information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely and accurate basis in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Since such evaluation there have not been any significant changes in the Company's internal controls, or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls 9 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS- NONE ITEM 2 - CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS-NONE ITEM 3 - DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES- NONE ITEM 4 - SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS- NONE ITEM 5 - OTHER INFORMATION- NONE ITEM 6 - EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K (a) Exhibits Exhibit No. Description -------- ----------- ----------- Exhibit 99.1 CERTIFICATION OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER (b) Reports on Form 8-K No reports on Form 8-K were filed during the quarter ended March 31, 2003. 10 SIGNATURES In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, the registrant caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
