MORRIS BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT COMPANY
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1
ORGANIZATION
 
On April 1, 1998, Morris Business Development Company (the Company or MBDC) was incorporated in California as Electronic Media Central Corporation (EMC) (formerly a division of Internet Infinity, Inc. (III)). The Company is engaged in providing services for the development and growth of both American public and private stock companies. The Company is also engaged in providing services for duplication, replication and packaging of DVDs and CDs.
 
On March 29, 2007 the Company registered a name change to Morris Business Development Company with the California Secretary of State.
 
As of May 12, 2006 the Company filed Form N-54A with the United States Securities Exchange Commission to become a business development company by certifying that it is a closed-end company (mutual fund) organized and operated for the purpose of making investments in securities described in section 55 (a)(1) through (3) of the Investment Company Act of 1940; and that it will make available significant managerial assistance to American companies with respect to issuers of such securities to the extent required by the act.
 
The Company has commenced the development of new management consulting services to assist American client companies in complying with the reporting requirements to the government and in communicating with shareholders, customers and the public and the accessing of needed growth capital.
 
The Company has entered into an agreement with Howell Capital Holdings, LLC operating as “More American Jobs” to help American companies prepare to access government financial support from grants, loans and loan guarantees. In addition, the Company will also commence a new participation relationship with Avalon Funding Corporation, an asset based lender focusing on accounts receivable and purchase order funding.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND BUSINESS
 
Unaudited Interim Financial Information  
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as applicable to smaller reporting companies, and generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally presented in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10. The results of the three month period ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending March 31, 2010.

MORRIS BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT COMPANY
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Use of estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.
 
Recent Pronouncements
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”, which is an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51.  This statement clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements.  This statement changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented, thus requiring consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both parent and the noncontrolling interest.  This statement is effective for the fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008.  Based on current conditions, the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 160 to have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The new standard also improves transparency about the location and amounts of derivative instruments in an entity’s financial statements; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Management does not believe the effect of this pronouncement on financial statements will have a material effect.
 
In May of 2008, FASB issued SFASB No.162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The pronouncement mandates the GAAP hierarchy reside in the accounting literature as opposed to the audit literature. This has the practical impact of elevating FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts in the GAAP hierarchy. This pronouncement will become effective 60 days following SEC approval. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
In May 2008, FASB issued SFASB No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.  The scope of the statement is limited to financial guarantee insurance (and reinsurance) contracts.  The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2008.  The company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”. This Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This Statement also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. While the Company has not yet evaluated this statement for the impact, if any, that SFAS No. 141(R) will have on its consolidated financial statements, the Company will be required to expense costs related to any acquisitions after January 1, 2009.
 
On December 30, 2008 FASB issued FIN 48-3, “Effective Date of FASB Interpretation No. 48 for Certain Nonpublic Enterprises”. This FSP defers the effective date of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, for certain non-public enterprises as defined in paragraph 289, as amended, of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, including non-public not-for-profit organizations. However, non-public consolidated entities of public enterprises that apply U. S. GAAP are not eligible for the deferral. Nonpublic enterprises that have applied the recognition, measurement, and disclosure provisions of Interpretation 48 in a full set of annual financial statements issued prior to the issuance of this FSP also are not eligible for the deferral. This FSP shall be effective upon issuance. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.
 
On January 12, 2009 FASB issued FSP EITF 99-20-01, “Amendment to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20”. This FSP amends the impairment guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-20, “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets,” to achieve more consistent determination of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. The FSP also retains and emphasizes the objective of an other-than-temporary impairment assessment and the related disclosure requirements in FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and other related guidance. The FSP is shall be effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008, and shall be applied prospectively. Retrospective application to a prior interim or  annual reporting period is not permitted. The Company does not believe this pronouncement will impact its financial statements.

NOTE 3
UNCERTAINTY OF ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN
 
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has accumulated deficit of $851,455 at June 30, 2009, and its total liabilities exceeds its total assets by $369,939.
 
In view of the matters described above, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing and to succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Management has taken the following steps to revise its operating and financial requirements, which it believes are sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is actively pursuing the new business development company activities and additional funding from strategic partners, which would enhance stockholders’ investment.  Management believes that the above actions will allow the Company to continue operations through the next fiscal year.
 
 
NOTE 4
MARKETABLE SECURITIES
 
The Company’s investments in securities are classified as available-for-sale and, as such, are carried at fair value based on quoted market prices. Securities classified as available-for-sale may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, liquidity needs, and for other purposes.
 
Unrealized holding gains and losses for available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholder’s equity. Realized and unrealized gains and losses for securities classified as available-for-sale are included in the statement of operations and comprehensive gain, respectively. On June 30, 2009, marketable securities have been recorded at $12,500 based upon the fair value of the marketable securities, compared to those recorded at $12,500 on March 31, 2009.

ITEM 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Disclaimer Regarding Forward Looking Statements
 
Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).  Forward-looking statements are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky.  These risks and uncertainties include international, national and local general economic and market conditions; demographic changes; our ability to sustain, manage, or forecast growth; our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; raw material costs and availability; new product development and introduction; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss of significant customers or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business  disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; and other risks that might be detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Although the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them.  Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements.  You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects.
 
Overview
 
We focus on the development of opportunities to invest in eligible portfolio companies providing early stage capital, strategic guidance and operational support.
 
Our principal objective is current consulting income and long-term capital appreciation.  We may invest in debt securities of these companies, or may acquire an equity interest in the form of common or preferred stock, warrants or options to acquire stock or the right to convert the debt securities into stock.  We may invest alone, or as part of a larger investment group.  Consistent with our status as a BDC and the purposes of the regulatory framework for BDC’s under the 1940 Act, we will provide managerial assistance, potentially in the form of a consulting agreement or in the form of a board of director’s seat, to the developing companies in which we invest.
 
In addition, we may acquire either a minority or controlling interest in mature companies in a roll-up strategy.  It is anticipated that any acquisitions will be primarily in exchange for our common stock, or a combination of cash and stock.  The principal objective of acquisitions pursuant to a roll-up strategy would be to consolidate an industry and either sell the acquired entities as a larger unit, or take the unit public through an initial public offering, spin-off to our shareholders, or reverse merger into a publicly traded shell corporation.
 
We operate as an externally managed investment company.  Our operations will be governed by an Investment Advisory Management Agreement to be entered into between us and a new investment advisory limited liability company which will be formed and wholly-owned by our Chairman, George Morris.  We have not elected to qualify to be taxed as a regulated investment company as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
11

 
Our common stock trades on the over the counter bulletin board under the symbol “MBDE.”
 
Our financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern.  Because we have historically incurred operating losses, and expect those losses to continue in the future, our Certified Public Accountants included an explanatory paragraph in their report raising substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
Regulation as a BDC
 
Although the 1940 Act exempts a BDC from registration under that Act, it contains significant limitations on the operations of BDC’s.  Among other things, the 1940 Act contains prohibitions and restrictions relating to transactions between a BDC and its affiliates, principal underwriters and affiliates of its affiliates or underwriters, and it requires that a majority of the BDC’s directors be persons other than “interested persons,” as defined under the 1940 Act.  The 1940 Act also prohibits a BDC from changing the nature of its business so as to cease to be, or to withdraw its election as, a BDC unless so authorized by the vote of the holders of a majority of its outstanding voting securities.  BDC’s are not required to maintain fundamental investment policies relating to diversification and concentration of investments within a single industry.
 
Generally, a BDC must be primarily engaged in the business of furnishing capital and providing managerial expertise to companies that do not have ready access to capital through conventional financial channels.  Such portfolio companies are termed “eligible portfolio companies.”  More specifically, in order to qualify as a BDC, a company must (1) be a domestic company; (2) have registered a class of its equity securities or have filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; (3) operate for the purpose of investing in the securities of certain types of portfolio companies, namely immature or emerging companies and businesses suffering or just recovering from financial distress; (4) extend significant managerial assistance to such portfolio companies; and (5) have a majority of “disinterested” directors (as defined in the 1940 Act).
 
An eligible portfolio company is, generally, a U.S. company that is not an investment company and that (1) does not have a class of securities registered on an exchange or included in the Federal Reserve Board’s over-the-counter margin list; or (2) is actively controlled by a BDC and has an affiliate of a BDC on its board of directors; or (3) meets such other criteria as may be established by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Control under the 1940 Act is generally presumed to exist where a BDC owns 25% of the outstanding voting securities of the company.
 
The 1940 Act prohibits or restricts companies subject to the 1940 Act from investing in certain types of companies, such as brokerage firms, insurance companies, investment banking firms and investment companies.  Moreover, the 1940 Act limits the type of assets that BDC’s may acquire to “qualifying assets” and certain assets necessary for its operations (such as office furniture, equipment and facilities) if, at the time of acquisition, less than 70% of the value of the BDC’s assets consist of qualifying assets.  Qualifying assets include: (1) securities of companies that were eligible portfolio companies at the time the BDC acquired their securities; (2) securities of bankrupt or insolvent companies that were eligible at the time of the BDC’s initial acquisition of their securities but are no longer eligible, provided that the BDC has maintained a substantial portion of its initial investment in those companies; (3) securities received in exchange for or distributed in or with respect to any of the foregoing; and (4) cash items, government securities and high-quality short-term debt.  The 1940 Act also places restrictions on the nature of the transactions in which, and the persons from whom, securities can be purchased in order for the securities to be considered qualifying assets.  These restrictions include limiting purchases to transactions not involving a public offering and acquiring securities from either the portfolio company or its officers, directors, or affiliates.
 
12

 
A BDC is permitted to invest in the securities of public companies and other investments that are not qualifying assets, but those kinds of investments may not exceed 30% of the BDC’s total asset value at the time of the investment.
 
A BDC must make significant managerial assistance available to the issuers of eligible portfolio securities in which it invests.  Making available significant managerial assistance means, among other things, any arrangement whereby the BDC, through its directors, officers or employees, offers to provide, and, if accepted does provide, significant guidance and counsel concerning the management, operations or business objectives and policies of a portfolio company.  The portfolio company does not have to accept the BDC’s offer of managerial assistance, and if they do accept may be required to pay prevailing market rates for the services.
 
We do not currently have any subsidiaries or EPC’s, however we do have an operating division that provides services for the duplication, replication, and packaging of DVD’s and CD’s.  We are actively seeking quality eligible portfolio companies in which to make an investment and provide managerial assistance.

Results of Operations
 
Introduction
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2006, we elected to become subject to certain sections of the Investment Company Act of 1940 by becoming a Business Development Company.  Our DVD and CD division continued to be our sole source of revenues for the quarter.
 
Revenues and Income (Loss) from Operations
 
Our revenue, cost of revenue, total operating expenses and income (loss) from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 are as follows:\

Income (loss) from operations
  $ (9.624 )   $ (16,448 )     (41.48. %)   $ (6,561 )
 
Our revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2009 decreased to $0 compared to $7,970 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and $23,337 for the three months ended June 30, 2007.  This 100 percent decrease in revenues was a result of reduced purchases by our largest replication customer and the lack of revenue from our start –up business consulting services.
 
Our revenues for the current quarter decreased by 100.% compared to a year earlier and our total operating expenses decreased by 49.64%, to $9,624 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $19,111 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and $17,089 for the three months ended June 30, 2007.
 
As a result of the above, our loss from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $9.624, compared to a loss of $16,448 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, and a loss  of $6.561 for the three months ended June 30, 2007.
 
Non-Operating Income (Expense) and Net Income (Loss)
 
Our other income, interest expense, and net income (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 are as follows:

On June 20, 2008, the board of directors authorized George Morris, the chairman, director and officer of the Company, to convert up to $415,000 of the outstanding debt of the company to him into 6,916,667 shares of common stock at the price of $0.06 per share. The Company recorded the right of converting the debt into shares amounting to $415,000 as an expense in the accompanying financial statements as of June 30, 2008.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Introduction
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we had a negative cash flow from operating activities and a $600 cash flow from financing activities.  We anticipate these numbers will continue.
 
Our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, total current assets, total current liabilities, and total liabilities as of June 30, 2009, compared to June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2009, are as follows:

Total liabilities
    381,639       434,838       367,537  
 
Cash Requirements
 
Our cash requirements are expected to remain stable over the next 12 months.  Our cash is utilized primarily for professional fees associated with being a public, reporting company and with the acquisition of eligible portfolio companies.
 
Sources and Uses of Cash
 
Operations and Financing
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we generated positive cash flow of $0.  This was a result of net cash used by operating activities of $(600), offset by net cash provided in financing activities of $600.  We anticipate that we will continue to operate at a small net loss and generate a small positive cash flow from the operations of our business services and consulting and loans from officers.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Our accounting policies are fully described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements.  The following describes the general application of accounting principles that impact our consolidated financial statements.
 
15

 
Our results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debt, inventories, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation.
 
We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
ITEM 3.                      Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Since we have very few assets and only one operating division there is no quantitative information, as of June 30, 2009, about market risk that has any impact on our present business.  Once we begin making investments in additional eligible portfolio companies we anticipate there will be market risk sensitive instruments and we will disclose the applicable market risk information at that time.
 
Our primary financial instruments are cash in banks and money market instruments.  We do not believe that these instruments are subject to material potential near-term losses in future earnings from reasonably possible near-term changes in market rates or prices.  We do not have derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.  We are not currently exposed to any material currency exchange risk.
 
ITEM 4.                      Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.  The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective and are designed to provide reasonable assurances of achieving their objectives.  Further, the Company’s officers concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures are also effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to its management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  There were no significant changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
 
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1.                      Legal proceedings
 
In the ordinary course of business, we may be from time to time involved in various pending or threatened legal actions.  The litigation process is inherently uncertain and it is possible that the resolution of such matters might have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and/or results of operations.  However, in the opinion of our management, matters currently pending or threatened against us are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
 
16

 
ITEM 1A                     Risk Factors
 
At the time we filed our last Annual Report on Form 10-K, we were a Small Business Issuer as defined in Regulation S-B, and thus did not include risk factors in our filing.
 
ITEM 2                      Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
 
There have been no events which are required to be reported under this Item.
 
ITEM 3                      Defaults Upon Senior Securities
 
There have been no events which are required to be reported under this Item.
