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. Effective February 1, 2006, the Company consummated a merger with and into Welund Fund, Inc. (a Nevada corporation), a newly-created wholly-owned subsidiary. As a result of the merger, the Company changed its legal domicile from Delaware to the State of Nevada.

Through March, 2005 we had not engaged in commercial activities (a so-called Blank Check). Between March and June of 2005, we sold 1,000,000 shares of common stock in a private offering and received gross proceeds of $250,000. With the proceeds of 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. At the purchase date, the loans had a average principal balance of approximately $4,708, an average annual interest rate of approximately 21.54%, and remaining terms of six to 46 months. The Company 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.


 
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
 


Starting in March 2005, we have rented office space from Liberty Associates, a company owned and operated by our president, Robert Freiheit. From March to September 2005, our monthly rental payment was $1,800. For October through December 2005, our rental payment was $2,300 per month.


 
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


 

The Company has thirteen 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.

From March to June 2005 the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.25 per share in a private placement. Additionally, the Company issued an aggregate 200,000 shares of common stock to a corporation and two individuals in exchange for services rendered. 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. As used herein, “we,” “our,” “us,” “the Company,” and the like refer to Welund Fund, Inc.

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 full 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 2,440,000 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.  To the extent that principal balances are collected, we plan to purchase new loans.  We 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.

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 an immediate effect on the Company as the Company does not currently have stock options or any other share-based payment arrangements outstanding. Once the Company issues stock options or other share-based payment arrangements, the accounting for those arrangements will be subject to the fair value-based accounting required by SFAS 123R.

In June 2005, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (SFAS 154). SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal year 2006 and beyond. The effect of this statement on the Company’s financial statements will depend on the nature and significance of future accounting changes subject to this statement.

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.    
 
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


 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and, based on this evaluation, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Controls

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Robert Henrichsen, Member of Board of Directors

Dr. Henrichsen, age 64, is the president of Auburn Orthopaedic Associates, and was the CEO of Auburn Outpatient Diagnostic & Surgical Center from its inception in 1991 until its sale to National Surgery Center. Dr. Henrichsen received a Bachelor of Arts degree in chemistry from La Sierra University in 1963. In 1967, he received a medical doctor degree from Loma Linda University. Following military service, including Pleiku, Vietnam, he completed medical specialty training at Los Angeles Orthopaedic Hospital. In 1973 he moved to Auburn, California & initiated medical practice & business investments. In the ensuing 32 years Dr. Henrichsen has been involved with investments, including real estate, stocks and bonds, options market, new venture capital, and business leasing.

Other than the directors mentioned above, we have no employees and do not anticipate hiring any in the future until we have successfully implemented our business plan. None of our directors, executive officers, promoters or control persons has been involved in any legal proceedings material to the evaluation of the ability or integrity of any of the aforementioned persons.

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 report of Robert Freiheit for the year ended December 31, 2005 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, 2005, 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.

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 and for rental of office space.

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 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS


 
Since the inception of the Company, certain expenses of the Company had been paid by the principal shareholder of the Company. The Company does not own any any real or personal property. Office services had been provided without charge by the officer and director of the Company. Such costs had not been significant to the financial statements and accordingly, have not been reflected therein. On March 30, 2005, the Company paid $107,357 for a pool of sub-prime auto loans with a pay-off balance of $126,302. The pool of sub-prime loans was purchased from an affiliate of Robert Freiheit, the Company’s primary shareholder, officer, and director. 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. 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 Company has contracted with Accredited Adjusters, LLC, to service and administer the loans for a monthly fee equal to ½% of the outstanding principal balance. Accredited Adjusters is an affiliate of Mr. Freiheit. In connection with the servicing of the auto loans, the Company has paid Accredited Adjusters, LLC $4,000, and has a liability of $909 for services rendered during 2005. Furthermore, $1,831 has been received in error by the Company, is now due to an affiliate of the Company, and was transferred to the affiliate subsequent to December 31, 2005.

Commencing March 1, 2005, the Company began paying rent in the amount of $1,800 per month to an affiliate of the officer and director for the use of certain office space. The monthly rental was increased to $2,300 on October 1, 2005. Total rental expense for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $19,500.

On July 28, 2005, the Company loaned $100,000 to Paxton Energy, Inc. (Paxton), a related party through common ownership and common management. The note bore interest at 12% per annum, was payable on demand, and was secured along with other lenders by all of the assets of Paxton. In November 2005, the president of the Company purchased the loan and accrued interest of $3,288 from the Company and in turn the Company assigned the demand note to its president.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES


 
On August 16, 2004, the Board of Directors engaged the accounting firm of Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell as our independent accountants. Prior to the engagement of Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell, all audit and permissible non-audit services were performed by Stan J.H. Lee. The Chief Executive Officer pre-approves all audit and non-audit services prior to the performance of services by the Company’s independent accountants.

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, 2005, and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and for the period from July 16, 2002 (date of inception) through December 31, 2005. 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, 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, and for the period from July 16, 2002 (date of inception) through December 31, 2005 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 operating losses and lack of significant 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.

WELUND FUND, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2005 and 2004


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. Effective February 1, 2006, the Company consummated a merger with and into Welund Fund, Inc. (a Nevada corporation), a newly-created wholly-owned subsidiary. Concurrent with the merger, the Company changed its legal domicile from Delaware to the State of Nevada.

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, Liberty Associates Holdings, LLC, an entity controlled by the Company’s current president, acquired 100% of the stock of the Company from the then sole shareholder of the Company for cash of $90,000. As a result, 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. From July 16, 2002 through March 31, 2005, the Company did not recognize revenue from any of its business activities. As further described in Notes 2 and 3 to the financial statements, the Company has recently sold 1,000,000 shares of common stock for $250,000, less offering costs, and has purchased a pool of sub-prime auto loans from an affiliate of the Company’s president for $107,357. Although the Company has recognized revenue from the auto loans, the Company continues to be considered to be in the development stage because revenues recognized have not been significant in relation to the level of planned future operations.

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.

Concentrations— The Company’s operations currently consist of solely the purchase and servicing of sub-prime auto loans in the Sacramento, California area.

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 are expected to be in effect when the temporary differences and carry forwards are resolved. 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 operating losses and lack of significant 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 sale 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2005 and 2004


Basic Loss Per Share - 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, 2005, there were no potentially issuable common shares outstanding.

 
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. 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 March 24, 2005, the Company opened a private offering of its stock for sale at $0.25 per share. Through June 30, 2005, the Company sold 1,000,000 shares of common stock for $250,000. Total cost of the offering was $12,500, which was charged against additional paid in capital.

During May 2005, the Company issued 200,000 shares of common stock for consulting and legal services valued at $50,000, or $0.25 per share. The value assigned to the services was valued based upon the value of shares issued for cash.


NOTE 3  -
FINANCE RECEIVABLES

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 discount of $18,945 on the purchase of the loans is being amortized over the term of the loans using a method which approximates the effective yield method. The seller of the pool is required to repurchase loans that become 90 days delinquent. As such, no allowance for uncollectible loans is provided. At the date of purchase, the average loan had a principal balance of approximately $4,708, a weighted average annual interest rate of approximately 21.54%, a weighted average annual effective interest rate of approximately 32.59%, and remaining terms 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 ½% of the outstanding principal balance. Accredited Adjusters is an affiliate of the Company’s primary shareholder, officer, and director.

NOTE 4  -
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Since the inception of the Company, certain expenses of the Company had been paid by the principal shareholder of the Company. The Company does not own any any real or personal property. Office services had been provided without charge by the officer and director of the Company. Such costs had not been significant to the financial statements and accordingly, have not been reflected therein.

Commencing March 1, 2005, the Company began paying rent in the amount of $1,800 per month to an affiliate of the officer and director for the use of certain office space on a month-to-month basis. The monthly rental was increased to $2,300 on October 1, 2005. Total rental expense for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $19,500.

In connection with the servicing of the auto loans, the Company has paid Accredited Adjusters, LLC $4,000, and has a current liability of $909 for services rendered. Furthermore, $1,831 has been received in error by the Company, is now due to an affiliate of the Company, and was transferred to the affiliate subsequent to December 31, 2005.

On July 28, 2005, the Company loaned $100,000 to Paxton Energy, Inc. (Paxton), a related party through common ownership and common management. The note bore interest at 12% per annum, was payable on demand, and was secured by all of the assets of Paxton. In November 2005, the President of the Company purchased the loan and accrued interest of $3,288 from the Company for $103,288, and in turn the Company assigned the demand note to its President.

NOTE 5  -
INCOME TAXES

At December 31, 2005, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of $85,196, expiring in 2022 through 2025, 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 tax benefit or deferred tax asset has been recorded in the financial statements because it is not presently likely that such tax benefits will be realized.
