Note 1 - Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of Business Age Research, Inc. (the "Company") historically produces and sold a line of premium skin care products to physicians and mail order. The Company has developed its own line of dermatologist-formulated skin care products including moisturizers, cleaners, sunscreens, and anti-aging emollients with glycolic acid. The products are sold under the name of RejuvenAge, which is trademarked in United States and United Kingdom, and name of Bladium, which is trademarked in United States. Commencing January 1, 2004, the Company ceased operation.

 

Presentation of Interim Information: The financial information at March 31, 2004 and for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 is unaudited but includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information set forth herein, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information, and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, such information does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. For further information refer to the Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003.

 

Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share does not differ from basic net loss per share due to the lack of dilutive items in the Company.

 

Note 2 - Ceased Operations

 

On January 1, 2004, the Board of Directors approved to discontinue the buying and reselling skincare products and to dispose of the trademarks, RejuvenAge and Baldium to an officer at a later date.

Note 4 - Segment Information

 

SFAS No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" requires that a publicly traded company must disclose information about its operating segments when it presents a complete set of financial statements. Since the Company has only one segment; accordingly, detailed information of the reportable segment is not presented.

 

Note 5 - Related Party Transactions

 

An officer used to make payments to purchase inventory on behalf of the Company. As of March 31, 2004 and 2003, the balance due to the officer related the purchases were $2,116 and $1,561. The Company also has notes payable to the officer in the amount of $14,800, accruing interest at 6% per annum. The note is due on demand.

 

Note 6 - Guarantees

 

The Company from time to time enters into certain types of contracts that contingently require the Company to indemnify parties against third-party claims. These contracts primarily relate to (i) divestiture agreements, under which the Company may provide customary indemnifications to purchasers of the Company's businesses or assets; and (ii) certain agreements with the Company's officers, directors and employees, under which the Company may be required to indemnify such persons for liabilities arising our of their employment relationship.

 

The terms of such obligations very. Generally, a maximum obligation is not explicitly stated. Because the obligated amounts of these types of agreements often are not explicitly stated, the overall maximum amount of the obligation cannot be reasonably estimated. Historically, the Company has not been obligated to make significant payments for these obligation, and no liabilities have been recorded for these obligations on its balance sheet as of March 31, 2004

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

 

Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 compared to March 31, 2002

 

Revenues

 

As of January 1, 2004, we have discontinued our business activities and operations and have had no revenues or earnings from operations for the three-months ended March 31, 2004. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, our revenues were $2,182. Our current business purpose is to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire an interest in a business presented to it by persons or firms who or which desire to seek the perceived advantages of an Exchange Act registered corporation.

 

Costs and expenses

 

Because we have ceased business operations, we did not incur any expenses related to cost of goods sold for the three month period ended March 31, 2004. Total cost of goods sold for the prior year period was $330. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2004 were $2,173 compared to $3,628 for the prior year period.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources, Risk Factors

 

As of January 1, 2004, we have discontinued our business activities and operations and have had no revenues or earnings from operations. We currently have no significant assets, paid employees, or financial resources, and have no prospects of resuming our prior business operations. We do not have any plans to make any material commitments for capital expenditures. Our current business purpose is to hold ourselves out as a candidate for a potential merger or acquisition. We have not entered into any formal discussions with any party regarding such a business opportunity and there is no assurance that we can identify such a business opportunity and consummate such a business combination. Our business objective is subject to numerous risk factors, including the following:

 

Independent Certified Public Accountants' Opinion - Going Concern

 

Our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003, were audited by our independent certified public accountants, whose report includes an explanatory paragraph stating that the financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern and that we have incurred significant operating losses and have stockholders' and working capital deficiencies. These deficiencies may raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

 

No Revenue and Minimal Assets

 

We will, in all likelihood, sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues, at least until the consummation of a business combination. This may result in incurring a net operating loss which will increase continuously until we can consummate a business combination with a profitable business. There is no assurance that we can identify such a business and consummate such a business combination.

Speculative Nature of Our Proposed Operations

 

The success of our proposed plan of operations will depend, to a great extent, on the operations, financial condition and management of a business with which we desire to combine. While we intend to seek business combinations with entities having established operating histories, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in locating candidates meeting such criteria. If we complete a business combination, of which there can be no assurance, the success of operations may be dependent upon management of the other business firm and numerous other factors beyond our control.

 

Scarcity of and Competition for Business Opportunities and Combinations

 

We are and will continue to be an insignificant participant in the business of seeking mergers with, joint ventures with and acquisitions of small private entities. A large number of established and well-financed entities, including venture capital firms, are active in mergers and acquisitions of companies which may be desirable target candidates for us. Nearly all such entities have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than us and, consequently, we will be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully completing a business combination. Moreover, we will also compete in seeking merger or acquisition candidates with numerous other small public companies.

 

Lack of Market Research or Marketing Organization

 

We have neither conducted, nor have others made available to us, results of market research indicating that market demand exists for the transactions contemplated by us. If demand is identified for a merger or acquisition contemplated by us, there is no assurance we will be successful in completing any such business combination.

 

Probable Change in Control and Management

 

A business combination involving the issuance of our stock will, in all likelihood, result in shareholders of a private company obtaining a controlling interest in us. The resulting change in control of our company will likely result in removal of one or more present our officers and directors and a corresponding reduction in or elimination of their participation in our future affairs.

 

Reduction of Percentage Share Ownership Following Business Combination

 

Our primary plan of operation is based upon a business combination with a private concern which, in all likelihood, would result in our issuance of securities to shareholders of such private company. The issuance of our previously authorized and unissued common stock would result in reduction in percentage of shares owned by our shareholders immediately preceding such issuance and would most likely result in a change in control or management of our company.

 

Requirement of Audited Financial Statements May Disqualify Business Opportunities

 

We believe that any potential business opportunity must provide audited financial statements for review, and for the protection of all parties to the business combination. One or more attractive business opportunities may choose to forego the possibility of a business combination with us, rather than incur the expenses associated with preparing audited financial statements.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the "Evaluation Date"). Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them on a timely basis to material information relating to our Company (including our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act.

 

(b)Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting. During the most recent fiscal quarter, there have not been any significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
