The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 5 AMERICAN CAPITAL PARTNERS LIMITED, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2005 NOTE 1 -- ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The accompanying financial statements for the interim periods are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for the periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004 as filed with the SEC . The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. Organization ------------ Effective on January 16, 2004, the Company filed amended Articles of Incorporation with the State of Nevada to change its name to American Capital Partners Limited, Inc. The Company is authorized to issue 150,000,000 shares of common stock at a par value of $0.001 per share. Principals of Consolidation: ---------------------------- The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with the guidance in the AICPA's Audit and Accounting Guide, "Audits of Investment Companies" since the Company elected to be regulated as a Business Development Company ("BDC") effective December 2004. In accordance with SEC rules and regulations for BDC's, the Company does not consolidate or use the equity method to account for its controlling investment in Online Enterprises, Inc. Rather, the Company's investment in such entity is reported at fair value, and the fluctuation in such fair value is reflected as an unrealized gain on investment in the accompanying statement of operations. On December 6, 2004, the Company filed form N-54A with the Securities and Exchange Commission to become a BDC pursuant to Section 54 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. As a result of its new status, the Company will now operate as an investment holding company and plans to build an investment portfolio and enhance the Company's shareholder value. As a BDC, the Company will be structured in a manner more consistent with its current business strategy. As a result, the Company is positioned to raise capital in a more efficient manner and to develop and expand its business interests. The Company does not intend to limit its potential acquisitions to just one line of business or industry, as the acquisitions, in total, will enhance value to stockholders through capital appreciation and payments of dividends to the Company by its investee companies. BDC regulation was created in 1980 by Congress to encourage the flow of public equity capital to small businesses in the United States. BDC's, like all mutual funds and closed-end funds, are regulated by the Investment Company Act of 1940. BDC's report to stockholders like traditional operating companies and file regular quarterly and annual reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. BDC's are required to make available significant managerial assistance to their portfolio companies. Use of Estimates ---------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates that are critical to the accompanying financial statements arise from the determination of the fair value of the Company's investment. Because such determination involves subjective judgment, it is at least reasonably possible that the Company's estimates could change in the near term with respect to this matter. 6 AMERICAN CAPITAL PARTNERS LIMITED, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2005 Valuation of Investments ------------------------ As required by ASR 118, the investment committee of the company is required to assign a fair value to all investments. To comply with Section 2(a) (41) of the Investment Company Act and Rule 2a-4 under the Investment Company Act, it is incumbent upon the board of directors to satisfy themselves that all appropriate factors relevant to the value of securities for which market quotations are not readily available have been considered and to determine the method of arriving at the fair value of each such security. To the extent considered necessary, the board may appoint persons to assist them in the determination of such value, and to make the actual calculations pursuant to the board's direction. The board must also, consistent with this responsibility, continuously review the appropriateness of the method used in valuing each issue of security in the company's portfolio. The directors must recognize their responsibilities in this matter and whenever technical assistance is requested from individuals who are not directors, the findings of such intervals must be carefully reviewed by the directors in order to satisfy themselves that the resulting valuations are fair. No single standard for determining "fair value...in good faith" can be laid down, since fair value depends upon the circumstances of each individual case. As a general principle, the current "fair value" of an issue of securities being valued by the board of directors would appear to be the amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale. Methods which are in accord with this principle may, for example, be based on a multiple of earnings, or a discount from market of a similar freely traded security, or yield to maturity with respect to debt issues, or a combination of these and other methods. Some of the general factors which the directors should consider in determining a valuation method for an individual issue of securities include: 1) the fundamental analytical data relating to the investment, 2) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the securities, and 3) an evaluation of the forces which influence the market in which these securities are purchased and sold. Among the more specific factors which are to be considered are: type of security, financial statements, cost at date of purchase, size of holding, discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at time of purchase, special reports prepared by analysis, information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security, existence of merger proposals or tender offers affecting the securities, price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable companies, and other relevant matters. The board has arrived at the following valuation method for its investments. Where there is not a readily available source for determining the market value of any investment, either because the investment is not publicly traded, or is thinly traded, or in absence of a recent appraisal, the value of the investment shall be based on the following criteria: 1. Total amount of the Company's actual investment ("AI"). This amount shall include all loans, purchase price of securities, and fair value of securities given at the time of exchange. 2. Total revenues for the preceding twelve months ("R"). 3. Earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation ("EBITD") 4. Estimate of likely sale price of investment ("ESP") 5. Net assets of investment ("NA") 6. Likelihood of investment generating positive returns (going concern) Earnings per Share ------------------ Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period as required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per Shares". Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings. 7 AMERICAN CAPITAL PARTNERS LIMITED, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2005 Revenue Recognition ------------------- The Company recognizes revenues in accordance with the guidance in the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin 104. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, as services are provided over the term of a service contract, and when collection of the fixed or determinable selling price is reasonable assured. The Company follows EITF 00-8 "Accounting by a Grantee for an Equity Instrument to be Received in Conjunction with Providing Goods or Services" when determining the measurement date to value securities received for services. Revenues from the current and future activities as a business development company which may include investment income such as interest income and dividends, and realized or unrealized gains and losses on investments will be recognized in accordance with the AICPA's Audit and Accounting Guide, "Audits of Investment Companies Comprehensive Income (Loss) --------------------------- Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) as currently reported by the Company adjusted for other comprehensive gains (losses). Other comprehensive gains (losses) for the Company consists of unrealized gains (losses) related to the Company's equity securities accounted for as available-for-sale with changes in fair value recorded through stockholders' equity. 8 ITEM 2: MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Management's Discussion and Analysis contains various "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, regarding future events or the future financial performance of the Company that involve risks and uncertainties.

("ACP"), a development stage company with the expertise to enable the company to become a Business Development Company ("BDC") as outlined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The Company will operate as a closed end mutual fund. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide its shareholders with current income and long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in privately placed securities of small public companies. The Company notified the Securities and Exchange Commission that it elects, pursuant to the provisions of section 54(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, to be subject to the provisions of sections 55 through 65 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and accordingly, the Company is BDC. 10 Management intends to seek out and pursue private companies or thinly traded public companies and provide financing to such entities through the use of senior debt, mezzanine finance and equity finance which, management anticipates that it will result in capital appreciation and a solid dividend yield for the Company.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES ------------------------------- The Company has financed its operations and other working capital requirements principally from its investments in securities. The Company has elected to be treated as a Business Development Company under the Small Business Incentive Act of 1980, which modified the 1940 Act and intends to raise capital and make investments in accordance with the requirements of a Business Development Company. Capital will be required for the first and second quarter of fiscal 2005 for the Company to continue to satisfy its cash requirements and maintain a business plan focusing on raising the capital needed to make investments. The Company expects to raise additional capital but no assurances can be given that any capital will be raised or investments made subsequent to any capital raise will generate profits. The notes in the audited financial statements at and for the year ended December 31, 2004, contain an explanatory paragraph raising doubt of the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Note 2 to the unaudited financial statements at and for the year ended December 31, 2004 describe the conditions which raise this doubt and management's plans.
