FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
Certain
statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are “forward-looking
statements” (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995) regarding the plans and objectives of management for future operations.
Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors
that may cause actual results, performance or achievements of MPM Acquisition
Corp. (the “Company”) to be materially different from any future results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current
expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. The Company's plans
and objectives are based, in part, on assumptions involving the continued
expansion of business. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments
with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market
conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or
impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of the
Company. Although the Company believes its assumptions underlying the
forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove
inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance the forward-looking
statements included in this Report will prove to be accurate. In light of the
significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included
herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a
representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives and plans
of the Company will be achieved.
MPM
Acquisition Corp. (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” or the “Registrant”) was
incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 4, 2008. Since inception, the
Company has been engaged in organizational efforts and obtaining initial
financing. The Company was formed as a vehicle to pursue a business combination
and has made no efforts to identify a possible business combination. As a
result, the Company has not conducted negotiations or entered into a letter of
intent concerning any target business. The business purpose of the Company is to
seek the acquisition of, or merger with, an existing company. The Company
selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The
Company, based on proposed business activities, is a “blank check” company. The
SEC defines those companies as "any development stage company that is issuing a
penny stock, within the meaning of Section 3(a)(51) of the Exchange Act, and
that has no specific business plan or purpose, or has indicated that its
business plan is to merge with an unidentified company or companies." Many
states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of
securities of "blank check" companies in their respective jurisdictions. The
Company is also a “shell company,” defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act
as a company with no or nominal assets (other than cash) and no or nominal
operations. Management does not intend to undertake any efforts to cause a
market to develop in our securities, either debt or equity, until we have
successfully concluded a business combination. The Company intends to comply
with the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for so long as we
are subject to those requirements.
The
Company was organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation
warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages
of being a publicly held corporation. The Company’s principal business objective
for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth
potential through a combination with an operating business. The Company will not
restrict its potential candidate target companies to any specific business,
industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of
business.
The analysis of new business
opportunities is undertaken by or under the supervision of the officers and
directors of the Company. As of this date the Company has not entered
into any definitive agreement with any party. The Company has
unrestricted flexibility in seeking, analyzing and participating in potential
business opportunities. In its efforts to analyze potential acquisition targets,
the Company will consider the following kinds of factors:
(a) Potential
for growth, indicated by new technology, anticipated market expansion or new
products;
(b) Competitive
position as compared to other firms of similar size and experience within the
industry segment as well as within the industry as a whole;
(c) Strength
and diversity of management, either in place or scheduled for
recruitment;
(d) Capital
requirements and anticipated availability of required funds, to be provided by
the Company or from operations, through the sale of additional securities,
through joint ventures or similar arrangements or from other
sources;
(e) The
cost of participation by the Company as compared to the perceived tangible and
intangible values and potentials;
(f) The
extent to which the business opportunity can be advanced;
(g) The
accessibility of required management expertise, personnel, raw materials,
services, professional assistance and other required items; and
(h) Other
relevant factors.
In
applying the foregoing criteria, no one of which will be controlling, management
will attempt to analyze all factors and circumstances and make a determination
based upon reasonable investigative measures and available data. Potentially
available business opportunities may occur in many different industries, and at
various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative
investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult
and complex. Due to the Company's limited capital available for investigation,
the Company may not discover or adequately evaluate adverse facts about the
opportunity to be acquired.
FORM OF
ACQUISITION
The
manner in which the Company participates in an opportunity will depend upon the
nature of the opportunity, the respective needs and desires of the Company and
the promoters of the opportunity, and the relative negotiating strength of the
Company and such promoters.
It is
likely that the Company will acquire its participation in a business opportunity
through the issuance of common stock or other securities of the Company.
Although the terms of any such transaction cannot be predicted, it should be
noted that in certain circumstances the criteria for determining whether or not
an acquisition is a so-called "tax free" reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") depends upon
whether the owners of the acquired business own 80% or more of the voting stock
of the surviving entity. If a transaction were structured to take advantage of
these provisions rather than other "tax free" provisions provided under the
Code, all prior stockholders would in such circumstances retain 20% or less of
the total issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity. Under other
circumstances, depending upon the relative negotiating strength of the parties,
prior stockholders may retain substantially less than 20% of the total issued
and outstanding shares of the surviving entity. This could result in substantial
additional dilution to the equity of those who were stockholders of the Company
prior to such reorganization.
The
present stockholders of the Company will likely not have control of a majority
of the voting securities of the Company following a reorganization transaction.
As part of such a transaction, all or a majority of the Company's directors may
resign and one or more new directors may be appointed without any vote by
stockholders.
In the
case of an acquisition, the transaction may be accomplished upon the sole
determination of management without any vote or approval by stockholders. In the
case of a statutory merger or consolidation directly involving the Company, it
will likely be necessary to call a stockholders' meeting and obtain the approval
of the holders of a majority of the outstanding securities. The necessity to
obtain such stockholder approval may result in delay and additional expense in
the consummation of any proposed transaction and will also give rise to certain
appraisal rights to dissenting stockholders. Most likely, management will seek
to structure any such transaction so as not to require stockholder
approval.
It is
anticipated that the investigation of specific business opportunities and the
negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents
and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and
substantial cost for accountants, attorneys and others. If a decision is made
not to participate in a specific business opportunity, the costs theretofore
incurred in the related investigation might not be recoverable. Furthermore,
even if an agreement is reached for the participation in a specific business
opportunity, the failure to consummate that transaction may result in the loss
to the Registrant of the related costs incurred.
We
presently have no employees apart from our management. Our officers and
directors are engaged in outside business activities and anticipate that they
will devote to our business very limited time until the acquisition of a
successful business opportunity has been identified. We expect no significant
changes in the number of our employees other than such changes, if any, incident
to a business combination.

securities of, or interests in, persons primarily engaged in real estate
activities.

Item
5. Market for Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Small Business
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
Common
Stock
Our
Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares
of common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The
Common Stock is not listed on a publicly-traded market. As of March
13, 2009, there was 1 holder of record of the Common Stock.
Preferred
Stock
Our
Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares
of preferred stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Preferred
Stock”). The Company has not yet issued any of its preferred
stock.
Dividend
Policy
The
Company has not declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock and does
not intend to declare or pay any cash dividend in the foreseeable future. The
payment of dividends, if any, is within the discretion of the Board of Directors
and will depend on the Company’s earnings, if any, its capital requirements and
financial condition and such other factors as the Board of Directors may
consider.
Securities
Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
The
Company does not have any equity compensation plans or any individual
compensation arrangements with respect to its common stock or preferred stock.
The issuance of any of our common or preferred stock is within the discretion of
our Board of Directors, which has the power to issue any or all of our
authorized but unissued shares without stockholder approval.
Recent
Sales of Unregistered Securities
On
February 4, 2008, the Registrant sold 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock to MPM
Asset Management for an aggregate purchase price equal to $50,000. The
Registrant sold these shares of Common Stock under the exemption from
registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
No
securities have been issued for services. Neither the Registrant nor any person
acting on its behalf offered or sold the securities by means of any form of
general solicitation or general advertising. No services were performed by any
purchaser as consideration for the shares issued.
Issuer
Purchases of Equity Securities
None.
Item
6. Selected Financial Data
As a
“smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company
is not required to provide this information.
Item
7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operation
The
Company was organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation
warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages
of being a publicly held corporation. Our principal business objective for the
next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth
potential through a combination with a business rather than immediate,
short-term earnings. The Company will not restrict our potential candidate
target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location
and, thus, may acquire any type of business.
The Company currently does not engage
in any business activities that provide cash flow. During the next
twelve months we anticipate incurring costs related to:
(i) filing
Exchange Act reports, and
(ii) investigating,
analyzing and consummating an acquisition.
We believe we will be able to meet
these costs through use of funds in our treasury, through deferral of fees by
certain service providers and additional amounts, as necessary, to be loaned to
or invested in us by our stockholders, management or other
investors.
The Company may consider acquiring a
business which has recently commenced operations, is a developing company in
need of additional funds for expansion into new products or markets, is seeking
to develop a new product or service, or is an established business which may be
experiencing financial or operating difficulties and is in need of additional
capital. In the alternative, a business combination may involve the acquisition
of, or merger with, a company which does not need substantial additional capital
but which desires to establish a public trading market for its shares while
avoiding, among other things, the time delays, significant expense, and loss of
voting control which may occur in a public offering.
Any target business that is selected
may be a financially unstable company or an entity in its early stages of
development or growth, including entities without established records of sales
or earnings. In that event, we will be subject to numerous risks inherent in the
business and operations of financially unstable and early stage or potential
emerging growth companies. In addition, we may effect a business combination
with an entity in an industry characterized by a high level of risk, and,
although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a
particular target business, there can be no assurance that we will properly
ascertain or assess all significant risks.
The Company anticipates that the
selection of a business combination will be complex and extremely risky. Because
of general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some
industries and shortages of available capital, our management believes that
there are numerous firms seeking even the limited additional capital which we
will have and/or the perceived benefits of becoming a publicly traded
corporation. Such perceived benefits of becoming a publicly traded corporation
include, among other things, facilitating or improving the terms on which
additional equity financing may be obtained, providing liquidity for the
principals of and investors in a business, creating a means for providing
incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, and offering
greater flexibility in structuring acquisitions, joint ventures and the like
through the issuance of stock. Potentially available business combinations may
occur in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of
which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such
business opportunities extremely difficult and complex.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2008, the Company
had assets equal to $3,100, comprised exclusively of cash and prepaid
assets. The Company’s current liabilities as of December 31, 2008
totaled $8,452, comprised exclusively of monies due to
stockholder. The Company can provide no assurance that it can
continue to satisfy its cash requirements for at least the next twelve
months.
The following is a summary of the
Company's cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing
activities for the cumulative period from February 4, 2008 (Inception) to
December 31, 2008.

The
Company has nominal assets and has generated no revenues since inception. The
Company is also dependent upon the receipt of capital investment or other
financing to fund its ongoing operations and to execute its business plan of
seeking a combination with a private operating company. In addition, the Company
is dependent upon certain related parties to provide continued funding and
capital resources. If continued funding and capital resources are unavailable at
reasonable terms, the Company may not be able to implement its plan of
operations.
Results
of Operations
The
Company has not conducted any active operations since inception, except for its
efforts to locate suitable acquisition candidates. No revenue has been
generated by the Company from February 4, 2008 (Inception) to December 31,
2008. It is unlikely the Company will have any revenues unless it is
able to effect an acquisition or merger with an operating company, of which
there can be no assurance. It is management's assertion that these
circumstances may hinder the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. The Company’s plan of operation for the next twelve months shall
be to continue its efforts to locate suitable acquisition
candidates.
For the
period from February 4, 2008 (Inception) to December 31, 2008, the Company had a
net loss of $55,352
comprised exclusively of legal, accounting, audit, and other professional
service fees incurred in relation to the formation of the Company, the filing of
the Company’s Registration Statement on Form10 in April of 2008 and Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2008 in June of 2008, June
30, 2008 in August of 2008 and September 30, 2008 in November of
2008.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any
off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a
current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in
financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity,
capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to
investors.

Report of Independent
Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
MPM
Acquisition Corp.
Boston,
Massachusetts
We have audited the accompanying
balance sheet of MPM Acquisition Corp. (A Development Stage Company) as of
December 31, 2008 and the related statements of operations, stockholder’s equity
(deficit) and cash flows for the period February 4, 2008 (Inception) through
December 31, 2008. The financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
this financial statement based on our audit.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not
required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal
control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal
control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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 audit provides 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 MPM Acquisition Corp. (A
Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2008 and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the period February 4, 2008 (Inception)
through December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial
statements, the Company has negative working capital and has incurred net losses
from inception. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern. Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described
in Note 3. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

MPM
Acquisition Corp.
(A
Development Stage Company)
Notes
to Financial Statements
Note 1 – Development Stage
Company:
MPM
Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), was incorporated in the State of Delaware on
February 4, 2008. The Company is inactive and plans to acquire an
existing company or acquire technology to begin operations. The Company is in
the development stage.
Note 2 – Summary of
Accounting Policies:
Financial
Statements: The financial statements include all the accounts
of the Company.
Use of
Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent asset and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Income
Taxes: The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting
for income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting
basis and tax basis of the assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted
tax rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to
reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely
than not, that such tax benefits will not be realized.
The
Company's policy is to classify assessments, if any, for tax related interest as
interest expenses and tax related penalties as general and administrative
expenses.
Loss per Common
Share: Basic loss per share is calculated using the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each
period. Diluted loss per share includes potentially dilutive
securities such as outstanding options and warrants, using various methods such
as the treasury stock or modified treasury stock method in the determination of
dilutive shares outstanding during each period. The Company does not
have any potentially dilutive securities.
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments: The carrying value of cash and accrued expenses
payable approximate fair value due to their relatively short
maturities.
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements: In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141R”), which
replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” SFAS 141R establishes
principles and requirements for determining how an enterprise recognizes and
measures the fair value of certain assets and liabilities acquired in a business
combination, including noncontrolling interests, contingent consideration, and
certain acquired contingencies. SFAS 141R also requires acquisition-related
transaction expenses and restructuring costs be expensed as incurred rather than
capitalized as a component of the business combination. SFAS 141R will be
applicable prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date
is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or
after December 15,
2008. SFAS 141R would have an impact on accounting for any businesses acquired
after the effective date of this pronouncement.
MPM
Acquisition Corp.
(A
Development Stage Company)
Notes
to Financial Statements
In
December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an
Amendment of ARB No. 51" (“SFAS No. 160”). The objective of this Statement is to
improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial
information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial
statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards that require the
following changes. The ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other
than the parent shall be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the
consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from
the parent’s equity. The amount of consolidated net income attributable to the
parent and to the noncontrolling interest must be clearly identified and
presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income. When a subsidiary
is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former
subsidiary is initially measured at fair value. The gain or loss on the
deconsolidation of the subsidiary is measured using the fair value of any
noncontrolling equity investment rather than the carrying amount of that
retained investment and entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly
identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests
of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and
interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS No. 160 before
December 15, 2008 is prohibited. The Company has not determined the effect, if
any, that may result from the adoption of SFAS No. 160 on its financial
statements.
Management
does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective
accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the
accompanying financial statements.
Note 3 – Going
Concern:
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of
assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The
Company incurred a net loss from inception of $55,352, which, among other
factors, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is
dependent upon management’s plan to find a suitable acquisition or merger
candidate, raise additional capital from the sale of stock and, ultimately,
income from operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might be required should the Company be unable to recover the
value of its assets or satisfy its liabilities.
Note 4 –
Related Party Transactions:
Due to
stockholder consisted of interest-free demand loans from the stockholder to the
Company.
The
Company utilizes the office space and equipment of its sole stockholder at no
cost. Management estimates such amounts to be
immaterial.
Note 5 –
Preferred Stock:
On
February 4, 2008, the Company authorized ten million (10,000,000) shares of
$.0001 par value preferred stock with designations, voting and other rights and
preferences to be determined from time to time by the board of directors of the
Company.
Note 6 –
Common Stock:
On
February 4, 2008, the Company authorized one hundred million (100,000,000)
shares of common stock. On February 4, 2008, the Company issued five million
(5,000,000) shares of common stock for $50,000.

Note 7 –
Income Taxes:
As of
December 31, 2008, the Company had a net operating loss carry-forward available
to reduce future Federal taxable income of approximately $55,000.
As of
December 31, 2008, a deferred income tax benefit of approximately $21,000
resulted primarily from the net operating loss carryforward. The Company is
uncertain whether it will realize any future tax benefit of its deferred tax
assets and, accordingly, a full valuation allowance was provided against the
Company’s deferred tax assets.
Management
has evaluated and concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax
positions requiring recognition in the Company's financial statements as of
December 31, 2008.
For the
period February 4, 2008 (inception) through December 31, 2008, the difference
between the tax provision at the statutory Federal income tax rate and the tax
provision attributable to loss before income taxes is as follows:

Disclosure.
There are
not and have not been any disagreements between the Company and its accountants
on any matter of accounting principles, practices or financial statement
disclosure.
Item
9A(T). Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
The
Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to
be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within
the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and
forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without
limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required
to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the
Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management,
including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial
officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In
accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, an evaluation was
completed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s
management, including the Company’s President, Principal Financial Officer and
Secretary, 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
Annual Report. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management
including the President, Principal Financial Officer and Secretary, concluded
that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in
providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the
Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act was recorded,
processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the
Commission’s rules and forms.
Evaluation of Internal
Controls and Procedures
Our
management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control
over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.
Our
internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that:
|
·
|
Pertain
to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and
fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
Company;
|
|
·
|
Provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being
made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management
and directors; and
|
|
·
|
Provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have
a material effect on the financial
statements.
|
As of
December 31, 2008, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in “Internal
Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation, our
management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was
effective as of December 31, 2008.
Changes in Internal Controls
over Financial Reporting
There
have been no significant changes to the Company’s internal controls over
financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter of the year
ended December 31, 2008, that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

There have been no events under any

decrees material to the evaluation of the ability and integrity of any director,

Compliance
with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a)
of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors and officers, and persons
who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity
securities, to file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial
ownership of the Company’s securities with the SEC on Forms 3, 4 and 5.
Officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC
regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms
they file.
Based solely on the Company’s review of
the copies of the forms received by it during the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2008 and written representations that no other reports were
required, the Company believes that no person who, at any time during such
fiscal year, was a director, officer or beneficial owner of more than 10% of the
Company’s common stock failed to comply with all Section 16(a) filing
requirements during such fiscal years.
Code
of Ethics

not adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our principal
executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or
controller, or persons performing similar functions in that our officers and
directors serve in these capacities.
Nominating
Committee
We have not adopted any procedures by
which security holders may recommend nominees to our Board of
Directors.
Audit
Committee
The Board of Directors acts as the
audit committee. The Company does not have a qualified financial expert at this
time because it has not been able to hire a qualified candidate. Further, the
Company believes that it has inadequate financial resources at this time to hire
such an expert. The Company intends to continue to search for a
qualified individual for hire.
Item
11. Executive Compensation.
The
following table sets forth the cash and other compensation paid by the Company
to its President and all other executive officers who earned annual compensation
