PART I




ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS



Welund Fund, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 16, 2002, to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions. Through March 31, 2005 we are a development stage company and have not engaged in commercial activities (a so-called Blank Check). On March 24, 2005 we opened a private offering and have issued an initial placement of 950,000 shares of common stock for $237,500. With the proceeds from the offering, we purchased a pool of sub-prime auto loans with a pay-off balance of $126,302, from an affiliate of Robert Freiheit, the Company’s president for $107,357. The purchase price was 85% of the loan pool’s pay-off balance. The seller of the pool is required to repurchase loans that become 90 days delinquent. The average loan has a principal balance of approximately $4,708 with an average annual percentage rate of approximately 21.54%. The length of the loans’ terms run from 6 to 46 months. The Company has contracted with Accredited Adjusters, LLC to service and administer the loans for a monthly fee equal to 6% per annum. Accredited Adjusters is also an affiliate of Robert Freiheit. We hope to be able to expand this business as additional funds become available.



ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
 


We currently use the offices of management at no cost to us. Management has agreed to continue this arrangement.


 
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 



There is no litigation pending or threatened by or against us.




ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS



No matter was submitted to a vote of security holders, through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise, during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report.

PART II



ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND
RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
 



Subsequent to the private placement, the Company has eight shareholders of record of its common stock. We have not paid dividends on our common stock in the past and do not currently anticipate that we will do so in the immediate future. We intend to retain earnings, if any, to support the growth of our business. Any future cash dividends would depend on future earnings, capital requirements, and our financial position and other factors deemed relevant by the board of directors.

There is currently no public market for our securities. It is anticipated that following such occurrence we will cause our common stock to be listed or admitted to quotation on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board or, if we then meet the financial and other requirements thereof, on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, National Market System or regional or national exchange.

Through April 30, 2005 the Company issued 950,000 shares of common stock at $0.25 per share in a private placement. All such securities were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.




ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION



Forward looking statements

This report and other information made publicly available from time to time may contain certain forward-looking statements and other information relating to the Company and its business that are based on the beliefs of management and assumptions made concerning information then currently available to management. Such statements reflect the views of management at the time they are made and are not intended to be accurate descriptions of the future. The discussion of future events, including the business prospects of the Company, is subject to the material risks listed below under "Risk Factors" and assumptions made by management.

Risk factors

The material risks that we believe are faced by the Company as of the date of this report are set forth below. This discussion of risks is not intended to be exhaustive. The risks set forth below and other risks not currently anticipated or fully appreciated by the management could adversely affect the business and prospects of the Company. These risks include:


2


Development Stage Company

While the Company has recently purchased a loan pool and has commenced operations it still must be considered a start up venture and the Company faces all of the risks inherent in the start-up of a new business and does not have a historical basis on which to evaluate whether or not its business can be successful. Furthermore the company will need to expand its operations to produce results which would be meaningful to a public company. There is no assurance that the Company can complete such an expansion.

Dependence on Management

The Company is heavily dependent upon the skill, talents, and abilities of its president, Robert Freiheit. Mr. Freiheit will be primarily responsible for the decisions concerning the implementation of a business model. Mr. Freiheit will not devote his fully business time to the Company and will continue to be engaged in outside business activities. The Company will be dependent upon the business acumen and expertise of management and the applicability of their backgrounds to the business decisions required to be made on behalf of the Company.

No Trading Market for the Common Stock 

There is no existing trading market for the Common Stock and it is unlikely that one will develop in the foreseeable future. The shares of Common Stock may be subject to the Penny Market Reform Act of 1990 (the “Reform Act”). In October 1990, Congress enacted the Reform Act to counter fraudulent practices common in penny stock transactions. If the shares are determined to be subject to the Reform Act, this may also adversely affect the ability to sell shares in the future.

Lack of Dividends

It is anticipated that the Company will invest any profits generated from its operations, and therefore, it is unlikely that the Company will pay dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

Control of the Company by Management

The directors of the Company currently hold voting and dispositive power over an aggregate of 2,240,000 shares of Common Stock, which represents a majority of the currently issued and outstanding Common Stock. Since action by the stockholders on most matters, including the election of directors, only requires approval by a vote of the majority of shares voted on the mater, the current directors and executive officers of the company will be able to significantly influence if not control the election of directors of the Company and the outcome of other matters submitted to the stockholders for consideration.

Unforeseen Risks

In addition to the above risks, the future business of the Company will be subject to risks not currently foreseen or fully appreciated by management of the Company.

Should one or more of these or other risks materialize, or if the underlying assumptions of management prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. We do not intend to update these forward-looking statements, except as may occur in the regular course of our periodic reporting obligations.

3


Plan of Operations


The Company plans to collect the initial loan pool purchased and rely on its contracted servicers to assist in such collection. Because the servicer only gets paid out of collection, the Company does not need to provide additional cash to conduct the operation.  To the extent that principal balances are collected, we would purchase new loans.  We do desire to greatly expand this business which would require the raising of additional capital.  The Company is currently relying on Robert Freiheit and his affiliates to seek and obtain such capital.  There is no assurance, however, that such capital will be obtained, or if obtained, can be done so on terms favorable to current shareholders.  Affiliates of Robert Freiheit have more loans available for purchase and a preliminary view of the Sacramento market indicates there are third parties who could also be a significant source of loan pools.

  If the Company does not expand its activities it has sufficient resources to pay its administrative costs for the next twelve months.  However if we are successful in raising more capital, some of the capital will need to be diverted to administrative costs.




ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


 
This report on Form 10-KSB is being amended to correct typographical errors that occurred in the process of preparing the file for electronic submission on the EDGAR system.
 
The financial statements are set forth immediately following the signature page beginning on page F-1.



ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON
ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE



On August 16, 2004, the Board of Directors of the Company dismissed its independent accountant, Stan J.H. Lee who had audited the Company’s financial statements for the period July 16, 2002 (inception) through December 31, 2002.  Pursuant to Section 3-11 of Regulation S-X, the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 were unaudited.  
 
The audit report of Stan J.H. Lee on the financial statements of the Company for the period July 16, 2002 (inception) through December 31, 2002 was not qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principles.  However, such report did contain an explanatory paragraph with regards to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
During the period from July 16, 2002 (inception) though August 16, 2004, there were (1) no disagreements between the Company and Stan J.H. Lee on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure; (2) no reportable events as such term is defined by paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and (3) no matters identified by Stan J.H. Lee involving our internal control structure or operations which were considered to be a material weakness.

4

 
On August 16, 2004, the Company engaged the accounting firm of Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell as our independent accountants to audit our financial statements beginning with our fiscal year ending December 31, 2004.  The appointment of new independent accountants was approved by the Board of Directors.  
 
During August 2004, management of the Company consulted with a representative of Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell for purposes of determining whether Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell would be interested in becoming the Company’s new independent auditors.  After such discussions, on August 16, 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors resolved to retain Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell as its independent auditors.
 
During the consultation with Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell, or prior thereto, no one representing the Company consulted with Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements and Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell had not provided the Company, or someone on its behalf, either written or oral advice on any factor, issue or item of accounting, auditing or financial reporting.
 


ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 


Controls and Procedures

Based on an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this Form 10-KSB, the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation. There were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, and therefore there were no corrective actions taken. However, the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there is no certainty that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goal under all potential future considerations, regardless of how remote.

Mr. Freiheit was appointed to serve as a director until the next meeting of stockholders or until he is replaced by a vote of the stockholders.

There is no family relationship among the current directors and executive officers. The following sets forth brief biographical information for each director and executive officer of the Company.

Rob Freiheit, Chairman, Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, and Secretary

Mr. Freiheit, age 51, has served as a board member for a number of private and public companies. He has also held the position of Chief Executive Officer and President for private and public entities. Mr. Freiheit is currently President of a private held real estate development firm with over 2 million square feet of industrial space under management. In1986, he founded Liberty Associates LLC, a privately held construction, land entitlement and finance company focused on advancing growth in the industrial and warehouse sector.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Company's executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (hereinafter referred to as the "Commission") initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership, of Common Stock and other equity securities of the Company on Forms 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by Commission regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. The reports of Kevin Elmore on Form 4 for the month of June 2004 reporting the acquisition and the disposition of 2,240,000 shares of common stock were not filed. The report of Robert Freiheit for the month of June 2004 reporting the acquisition of 2,240,000 shares of common stock was not filed. Other than the foregoing, the Company believes that all reports required by section 16(a) for transactions in the year ended December 31, 2004, were timely filed.

Audit Committee and Financial Expert

We do not have an Audit Committee. The members of the Board of Directors perform some of the same functions of an Audit Committee, such as recommending a firm of independent certified public accountants to audit the annual financial statements; reviewing the independent auditor’s independence, the financial statements and their audit report; and reviewing management's administration of the system of internal accounting controls. The Company does not currently have a written audit committee charter or similar document.

We have no financial expert. We believe the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. Further, because we are a blank check company, we believe the services of a financial expert are not warranted.

Code of Ethics

A code of ethics relates to written standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

* Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

* Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that are filed with, or submitted to, the Commission and in other public communications made by an issuer;

* Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

* The prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the code; and

* Accountability for adherence to the code.

We have not adopted a corporate code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions in that our sole officer and director serves in all the above capacities.

ITEM 10. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION



Robert Freiheit became Chief Executive Officer and sole director of the Company on June 9, 2004, succeeding Kevin Elmore, who had succeeded T. Chong Weng, who in turn had been Chief Executive Officer of the Company since its inception in July 2002. Neither Mr. Freiheit, Mr. Elmore, nor Mr. Weng has received any compensation for their services rendered, and have not accrued any compensation pursuant to any agreement with us. However, our current Chief Executive Officer anticipates receiving benefits as a beneficial stockholder and indirectly through servicing fees paid to his affiliates for administering the loan portfolio.

No retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock option or insurance programs or other similar programs have been adopted by us for the benefit of our employees.
 

 
ITEM 11. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL
OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS



The table below sets forth information as to each person owning of record or who was known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of the 3,190,000 shares of common stock outstanding as of

ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS



Since its inception, the Company's principal shareholder has also served as the Company’s sole officer and director. The Company neither owns nor leases any real or personal property. Office services are provided without charge by the officer and director of the Company. Such costs are not significant to the financial statements and accordingly, have not been reflected therein. Since the inception of the Company, other administrative expenses of the Company have been paid by the principal shareholder of the Company. These other administrative expenses totaled $4,675 and $100 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. At December 31, 2004, the amount owed to the officer/shareholder is $4,675. During 2003, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of its common stock to its sole shareholder, officer, and director for conversion of a payable to that individual into equity.

Our recent purchase of a loan pool and the arrangement for the servicing of such pool were undertaken with affiliates of Robert Freiheit and were not completed as a result of arms length negotiations. While Mr. Freiheit will not receive a direct salary from the Company, he indirectly receives benefits from the sale and subsequent servicing of the loan pool.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and the Shareholders
Welund Fund, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Welund Fund, Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2004, the related statements of operations, shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and for the period from July 16, 2002 (date of inception) through December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

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 Welund Fund, Inc. as of December 31, 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and for the period from July 16, 2002 (date of inception) through December 31, 2004 in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1, the Company’s shareholders’ deficit, operating losses and working capital deficiency and lack of operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


 

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS, CHANGE IN CONTROL, AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization, Nature of Operations, and Change in Control — Welund Fund, Inc. ("the Company") was incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 16, 2002 to serve as a vehicle to effect a merger, exchange of capital stock, asset acquisition or other business combination with a domestic or foreign private business. The Company is in the development stage and, as of December 31, 2004, had not yet commenced any formal business operations. Since July 16, 2002, the Company’s activities have primarily related to the Company's formation and the seeking of investment or merger opportunities. On June 9, 2004, an entity acquired 100% of the stock of the Company from the former sole shareholder of the Company for $90,000. At this time, control of the Company was transferred to the new shareholder who appointed a new board of directors. The change of control did not constitute a business combination or reorganization, and consequently, the assets and liabilities of the Company continued to be recorded at historical cost. As further described in Note 5 to the financial statements, the Company completed a placement of 950,000 shares of common stock for $225,000, net of offering costs and purchased a pool of sub-prime auto loans from an affiliate of the Company’s president for $107,357.

Use of Estimates — The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and require management 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. They may also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates upon subsequent resolution of identified matters.

Income Taxes — Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and on the amount of operating loss carry forwards, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the temporary differences and carry forwards are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will not be realized.

Business Condition - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company’s shareholders’ deficit, operating losses, working capital deficiency and lack of operations, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. In this regard, management’s plans include raising additional funds to meet its ongoing expenses through shareholder loans or private placement of its equity securities. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital, or if successful, on terms favorable to the Company. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Basic Loss Per Share - Basic loss per share amounts are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. At December 31, 2004, there were no potential common shares outstanding.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), which addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which a company receives employee services in exchange for either equity instruments of that company or liabilities that are based on the fair value of that company’s equity instruments, or that may be settled by issuance of such equity instruments. SFAS 123R eliminates the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair value-based method and recognized as expense in the statement of operations. SFAS 123R is effective beginning January 1, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 123R will not have a material effect on the Company as the Company does not currently have stock options or any other share-based payment arrangement outstanding.

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153 (SFAS 153), Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets - An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. SFAS 153 amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The Company does not expect this pronouncement to have a material impact on our financial statements.
 
NOTE 2 - PREFERRED AND COMMON STOCK

Preferred Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value, with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2004, no shares of preferred stock have been issued.

Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value. On July 17, 2002 the Company issued 1,240,000 shares of its $0.0001 par value common stock to the founder of the Company for services with a fair value of $124. On December 31, 2003, the Company issued an officer of the Company 1,000,000 shares of common stock upon the conversion of debt in the amount of $100. The Company granted to the officer the right for conversion of the debt on December 31, 2004 and on that date, the fair value of the common stock issued approximated the fair value of the debt.

NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company's primary shareholder also serves as the Company’s sole officer and director. The Company neither owns nor leases any real or personal property. Office services are provided without charge by the officer and director of the Company. Such costs are not significant to the financial statements and accordingly, have not been reflected therein. Since the inception of the Company, other administrative expenses of the Company have been paid by the primary shareholders of the Company. At December 31, 2004, the amount owed to the current officer/shareholder was $4,675.

NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES

At December 31, 2004, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards in the approximate amount of $7,700. These net operating losses expire in years through 2024 if unused. The utilization of the net operating loss carry forwards is dependent upon the tax laws in effect at the time the net operating loss carry forwards can be utilized. No income benefit or deferred tax asset has been recorded in the financial statements because it has not yet been determined to be more likely than not that such tax benefits will be realized. The components of net deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows at December 31, 2004:

Deferred tax asset - Operating loss carry forwards

Purchase of Loans - On March 30, 2005, the Company purchased a pool of sub-prime auto loans with a pay-off balance of $126,302 from an affiliate of the Company’s primary shareholder, officer, and director for $107,357. The purchase price was 85% of the loan pool’s pay-off balance. The seller of the pool is required to repurchase loans that become 90 days delinquent. The average loan has a principal balance of approximately $4,708 with an average annual percentage interest rate of approximately 21.54%. The remaining terms of the loans range from 6 to 46 months. The Company has contracted with Accredited Adjusters, LLC, a related party, to service and administer the loans for a monthly fee equal to 1/2% of the outstanding principal balance. Accredited Adjusters is an affiliate of the Company’s primary shareholder, officer, and director.
