WestMountain Index Advisor, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements

(Unaudited)


1)    Nature of Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Nature of Organization and Basis of Presentation

WestMountain Index Advisor, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Colorado on October 18, 2007 and on this date approved its business plan and commenced operations.
 
The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements and notes herein are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, include all the adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 as filed with the SEC. Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of operating results for any future interim period or for the full year. 
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid securities with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents.  At September 30, 2009 there was $125,219 in cash equivalents.
 
 
(2)   Certificate of Deposit
 
In December 2007, the Company invested $200,000 of current cash into a certificate of deposit with Bank A.  Since that time, we have continued to reinvest principal and interest in six month certificates of deposit.  The current certificate has an interest rate of 1.15% and matures October 2009. As of September 30, 2009, the principal and interest balance is $131,980.

In December 2007, the Company invested $100,000, of current cash into a certificate of deposit with Bank B that matured in June 2008.   Upon maturity of the certificate of deposit, the money was withdrawn and transfer to Bank C.  

In August 2008, the Company invested $99,000 in a three month certificate of deposit with Bank C.  Since that time, we have re-invested principal and interest in three-month and six-month certificates of deposit.  The current certificate of deposit is a three-month term with an interest rate of 1.00% and a maturity date of January 2010.  As of September 30, 2009, the principal and interest balance is $101,900.  As this certificate of deposit is highly liquid with an original maturity of three months or less, it is considered by the Company to be a cash equivalent at September 30, 2009.

 (3)  Property and Equipment

The Company’s property and equipment consists of computer software that was placed into service during December 2007 at a value of $8,550.  For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, we purchased $278 additional software for our Sarbanes-Oxley software program.  The Company recorded depreciation expense of $728 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, $2,152 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and $5,241 in depreciation expense for the period of October 18, 2007 (inception) through September 30, 2009.
 

(4)   Income Taxes
 
The Company records its income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC") ASC-740 “Accounting for Income Taxes”.  The Company incurred net operating losses during all periods presented resulting in a deferred tax asset, which was fully allowed for; therefore, the net benefit and expense resulted in $-0- income taxes.
 
 
(5)    Stockholders Equity

On November 19, 2007, the Company sold 290,000 shares of its common stock for $290 or $0.001 per share.

On November 20, 2007, the Company sold 235,000 shares of its common stock for $2,350 or $0.01 per share.

On November 28, 2007, the Company sold 8,050,000 shares of its common stock to WestMountain Purple, LLC, an affiliate, for a cash price of $320,000 or $0.04 per share.  The stock transaction made WestMountain Purple, LLC the Company’s majority shareholder.

On November 30, 2007, the Company sold 438,250 shares of its common stock for $43,825 or $0.10 per share.  The stock sale was made in reliance on an exemption from registration of a trade in the United States under Rule 504 and/or Section 4(6) of the Act.  The Company relied upon exemptions from registration believed by it to be available under federal and state securities laws in connection with the offering.

On April 9, 2008, the Company issued 50,000 shares of common stock in exchange for services that were to be provided for the Company.  Subsequent to the issuance of these shares the service agreement was terminated and the shares have been cancelled.  This transaction is not reflected on the financial statements.

A total of 9,013,250 shares were issued for a total cash price of $366,465.  All of the shares issued are considered to be “restricted stock” as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.  As of September 30, 2009, the common stock issued and outstanding at par is $9,013 or $0.001 per share.  The amount over and above the $0.001 par value per share is recorded in the additional paid-in capital account in the amount of $357,452.

We receive invoices not less than quarterly from Bohemian Companies, LLC. This Service Agreement was initially for the term of one year, ending December 31, 2008, but has been extended and now matures on December 31, 2009.  Total expenses incurred with Bohemian Companies were $3,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and $3,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.  As of September 30, 2009, the Company did not have a balance due to Bohemian Companies, LLC.

The Company has concentrated its credit risk for cash by maintaining deposits in financial institutions, which may at times exceed the amounts covered by insurance provided by the United States Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). As of September 30, 2009, the Company has $-0- at risk for the excess of the deposit liabilities reported by the financial institution over the amount that would have been covered by FDIC. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk to cash.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATION

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in, Item 1 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  This item contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  Actual results may differ materially from those indicated in such forward-looking statements.

Forward-Looking Statements
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents incorporated herein by reference contain forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, and projections about our industry, management beliefs, and certain assumptions made by our management.  Words such as “anticipates”, “expects”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “seeks”, “estimates”, variations of such words, and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.  These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict; therefore, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in any such forward-looking statements.  Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.  However, readers should carefully review the risk factors set forth herein and in other reports and documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, particularly Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and any Current Reports on Form 8-K.
  
General
 
We act as a developer of indexes that allow investors to access specific market niches or sub-markets. We earn income by helping investors identify and access specific market niches or sub-markets using our index products. We will screen investments with emphasis towards finding opportunities with long term potential.

We do not focus on any particular industry but will look at any and all opportunities. We will screen investments with emphasis towards finding opportunities with long term potential.

We will develop a proprietary investment screening process to make our investments.  This process will be based upon the experience of Mr. Klemsz and outside consultants as we develop our company.  This process has not been developed at this time.

If we are not successful in our operations we will be faced with several options:

1.   
Cease operations and go out of business;
2.   
Continue to seek alternative and acceptable sources of capital;
3.   
Bring in additional capital that may result in a change of control; or
4.   
Identify a candidate for acquisition that seeks access to the public marketplace and its financing sources
 
            Currently, we believe that we have sufficient capital to implement our business operations or to sustain them through December 31, 2009. If we can become profitable, we could operate at our present level indefinitely. To date, we have never had any discussions with any possible acquisition candidate nor have we any intention of doing so.

           Our principal business address is 123 North College Avenue, Suite 200, Fort Collins, Colorado 80524. We operate out of one office in Colorado. We have no specific plans at this point for additional offices.  On January 1, 2008, we entered into a Service Agreement with Bohemian Companies, LLC to provide us with certain defined services. These services include financial, bookkeeping, accounting, legal and tax matters, as well as cash management, custody of assets, preparation of financial documents, including tax returns and checks, and coordination of professional service providers as may be necessary to carry out the matters covered by the Service Agreement.  We will compensate Bohemian Companies, LLC by reimbursing this entity for the allocable portion of the direct and indirect costs of each employee of Bohemian Companies, LLC. that performs services on our behalf. We will receive invoices not less than quarterly from Bohemian Companies, LLC. This Service Agreement is for the term of one year, ending December 31, 2008, which has been extended and is now ended December 31, 2009.  Total expenses incurred with Bohemian Companies were $3,000 for the quarter ending September 30, 2009.  As of September 30, 2009 the Company did not have a balance due to Bohemian Companies, LLC.

We have not been subject to any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding.

Results of Operations
 
The following discussion involves our results of operations for the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.  We had no revenues for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

Selling, general and administrative costs were $8,833 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, compared to $10,671 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. Selling, general and administrative costs were $28,971 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to $46,328 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.  Most of the costs were attributable to professional and contract services. We do not anticipate these professional fees to be as significant in the future. However, we believe that our selling, general and administrative costs will increase as we grow our business activities going forward.

We had a net loss of $7,936 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared to a net loss of $8,731 for the three months ended September 30, 2008.  We had a net loss of $25,558 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to a net loss of $39,138 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our cash and cash equivalents on September 30, 2009 was $125,219, compared to cash and cash equivalentson September 30, 2008 of $136,309.   As of September 30, 2009, we had $131,980 in certificates of deposit compared to $130,449 as of  September 30, 2008.

Cash flows used in operating activities was $27,345 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to cash flows used in operating activities of $57,473 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Net cash used in investing activities was $1,809 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to net cash provided by investing activities was $145,227 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. We purchased certificates of deposit during this period.
 
There were no cash flows provided by or used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

Over the next twelve months we do not expect any material capital costs in our operations. We plan to buy office equipment to be used in our operations.

Because we do not pay salaries, and our major professional fees have been paid for the year operating expenses are expected to remain fairly constant.
 
To try to operate at a break-even level based upon our current level of business activity, we believe that we must generate approximately $50,000 in revenue per year. However, if our forecasts are inaccurate, we will need to raise additional funds. In the event that we need additional capital, WestMountain Purple, LLC has agreed to loan such funds as may be necessary through December 31, 2009 for working capital purposes.

On the other hand, we may choose to scale back our operations to operate at break-even with a smaller level of business activity, while adjusting our overhead to meet the revenue from current operations. In addition, we expect that we will need to raise additional funds if we decide to pursue more rapid expansion, the development of new or enhanced services or products, appropriate responses to competitive pressures, or the acquisition of complementary businesses or technologies, or if we must respond to unanticipated events that require us to make additional investments. We cannot assure that additional financing will be available when needed on favorable terms, or at all.

We expect to incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring expenses and not generating sufficient revenues. We expect approximately $50,000 in operating costs over the next twelve months. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient revenues or other funds in the future to cover these operating costs. Failure to generate sufficient revenues or additional financing when needed could cause us to go out of business.

Plan of Operation for January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009

 Our plan for the twelve months beginning January 1, 2009 is to make a profit by December 31, 2009. We act as a developer of indexes that allow investors to access specific market niches or sub-markets. We earn income by helping investors identify and access specific market niches or sub-markets using our index products. We will screen investments with emphasis towards finding opportunities with long term potential.

We do not focus on any particular industry but will look at any and all opportunities. We will screen investments with emphasis towards finding opportunities with long term potential.

 
- 11 -

 



We will develop a proprietary investment screening process to make our investments.  This process will be based upon the experience of Mr. Klemsz and outside consultants as we develop our company.  This process has not been developed at this time.

If we are not successful in our operations we will be faced with several options:

1.    
  Cease operations and go out of business;
2.    
  Continue to seek alternative and acceptable sources of capital;
3.    
  Bring in additional capital that may result in a change of control; or
4.    
  Identify a candidate for acquisition that seeks access to the public marketplace and its financing sources.
 
            Currently, we believe that we have sufficient capital to implement our business operations or to sustain them through December 31, 2009. If we can become profitable, we could operate at our present level indefinitely. To date, we have never had any discussions with any possible acquisition candidate nor have we any intention of doing so.

            We operate out of one office in Colorado. We have no specific plans at this point for additional offices.   
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements with any party.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventories, valuation of intangible assets and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
As codified under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC-820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure” (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”) fair value is based on the prices that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, ASC-820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a -15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Exchange Act), our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

This report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 240.13a-15 or Rule 240.15d-15 of this chapter that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There are no legal proceedings, to which we are a party, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.


ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS
 
You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and all of the other information included in this document. Any of the following risks could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results and could negatively impact the value of your investment.
 
The occurrence of any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.  In this case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you might lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

We, have a limited operating history, and have never been profitable.  As a result, we may never become profitable, and, as a result, we could go out of business.

We were formed as a Colorado business entity in October, 2007. At the present time, we have never been profitable. There can be no guarantee that we will ever be profitable.  We may never become profitable, and, as a result, we could go out of business.

Because we had incurred a loss and have no substantial operations, our accountants have expressed doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.

     For our audit dated December 31, 2008, our accountants have expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as a result of a limited history of operations, limited assets, and operating losses since inception. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon:

our ability to find suitable investments; and

our ability to generate revenues.

     Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods because we will be incurring expenses and not generating sufficient revenues. We expect that operating costs will be approximately $40,000 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating sufficient revenues or other funds in the future to cover these operating costs. Failure to generate sufficient revenues will cause us to go out of business.

Our limited operating history makes it difficult for us to evaluate our future business prospects and make decisions based on those estimates of our future performance. An investor could lose his entire investment.

We have a limited operating history. An investor has no frame of reference to evaluate our future business prospects. This makes it difficult, if not impossible, to evaluate us as an investment. An investor could lose his entire investment if our future business prospects do not result in our ever becoming profitable.

 
- 13 -

 



If we do not generate adequate revenues to finance our operations, our business may fail.

             We have not generated revenues from our inception. As of September 30, 2009, we had a cash position of $125,219.  We anticipate that operating costs will be approximately $40,000 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. These operating costs include insurance, taxes, utilities, maintenance, contract services and all other costs of operations. We will use contract employees who will be paid on an hourly basis as each investment transaction is evaluated. However, the operating costs and expected revenue generation are difficult to predict. We expect to generate revenues in the next twelve months from making investments and receiving fees for the placement of capital. Since there can be no assurances that revenues will be sufficient to cover operating costs for the foreseeable future, it may be necessary to raise additional funds. Due to our lack of substantial operating history, raising additional funds may be difficult.

Competition in the investment industry is intense.
 
Our business plan involves acting as a developer of indexes that allow investors to access specific market niches or sub-markets. This business is highly competitive. There are numerous similar companies providing such services in the United States of America. Our competitors will have greater financial resources and more expertise in this business. Our ability to develop our business will depend on our ability to successfully market our services in this highly competitive environment. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so successfully.

The share control position of WestMountain Purple, LLC will limit the ability of other shareholders to influence corporate actions.
 
         Our largest shareholder, WestMountain Purple, LLC, of which Mr. Klemsz is a 16.8% member, owns 8,050,000 shares and thereby controls approximately 89.3% of our outstanding shares. Because WestMountain Purple, LLC individually beneficially controls more than a majority of the outstanding shares, other shareholders, individually or as a group, will be limited in their ability to effectively influence the election or removal of our directors, the supervision and management of our business or a change in control of or sale of our company, even if they believed such changes were in the best interest of our shareholders generally.
 
Our future success depends, in large part, on the continued service of our President and our Secretary-Treasurer and the continued financing of WestMountain Purple, LLC.
 
          We depend almost entirely on the efforts and continued employment of Mr. Klemsz, our President and Secretary-Treasurer. Mr. Klemsz is our primary executive officer, and we will depend on him for nearly all aspects of our operations. In addition, WestMountain Purple, LLC, is our only source of financing. We do not have an employment contract with Mr. Klemsz, and we do not carry key person insurance on his life. The loss of the services of Mr. Klemsz through incapacity or otherwise, would have a material adverse effect on our business. It would be very difficult to find and retain qualified personnel such as Mr. Klemsz and a financing source to replace WestMountain Purple, LLC.

Our revenue and profitability fluctuate, particularly inasmuch as we cannot predict the timing of realization events in our business, which may make it difficult for us to achieve steady earnings growth on a quarterly basis and may cause volatility in the price of our shares.

We may experience significant variations in revenues and profitability during the year and among years because we are paid incentive income from certain funds only when investments are realized, rather than periodically on the basis of increases in the funds’ net asset values. The timing and receipt of incentive income generated by our funds is event driven and thus highly variable, which contributes to the volatility of our revenue, and our ability to realize incentive income from our funds may be limited. We cannot predict when, or if, any realization of investments will occur. If we were to have a realization event in a particular quarter, it may have a significant impact on our revenues and profits for that particular quarter which may not be replicated in subsequent quarters. In addition, our investments are adjusted for accounting purposes to fair value at the end of each quarter, resulting in revenue attributable to our principal investments, even though we receive no cash distributions from our funds, which could increase the volatility of our quarterly earnings.

Difficult market conditions can adversely affect our funds in many ways, including by reducing the value or performance of the investments made by our funds and reducing the ability of our funds to raise or deploy capital, which could materially reduce our revenue and results of operations.

If economic conditions are unfavorable our funds may not perform well and we may not be able to raise money in existing or new funds. Our funds are materially affected by conditions in the global financial markets and economic conditions throughout the world. The global market and economic climate may deteriorate because of many factors beyond our control, including rising interest rates or inflation, terrorism or political uncertainty. In the event of a market downturn, our businesses could be affected in different ways. Our funds may face reduced opportunities to sell and realize value from their existing investments, and a lack of suitable investments for the funds to make. In addition, adverse market or economic conditions as well as a slowdown of activities

 
- 14 -

 

in a particular sector in which portfolio companies of these funds operate could have an adverse effect on the earnings of those portfolio companies, and therefore, our earnings.

A general market downturn, or a specific market dislocation, may cause our revenue and results of operations to decline by causing:
 
the net asset value of the assets under management to decrease, lowering management fees;
lower investment returns, reducing incentive income;
material reductions in the value of our fund investments in portfolio companies which reduce our ‘‘surplus’’ and, therefore, our ability to realize incentive income from these investments; and
investor redemptions, resulting in lower fees.
 
     Furthermore, while difficult market conditions may increase opportunities to make certain indexed investments, such conditions also increase the risk of default with respect to investments held by our funds with debt investments.

The success of our business depends, in large part, upon the proper selection of investments, which may be difficult to find, acquire and develop.
 
We believe that the identification, acquisition and development of appropriate investments are key drivers of our business. Our success depends, in part, on our ability to obtain these investments under favorable terms and conditions and have them increase in value. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in our attempts to find, acquire, and/or develop appropriate investments will not be challenged by competitors, which may put us at a disadvantage. Further, we cannot assure you that others will not independently develop similar or superior programs or investments, which may imperil our profitability.
Risks Related to an Investment in Our Common Stock
 
The lack of a broker or dealer to create or maintain a market in our stock could adversely impact the price and liquidity of our securities.
 
     We have no agreement with any broker or dealer to act as a market maker for our securities and there is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining any market makers. Thus, no broker or dealer will have an incentive to make a market for our stock. The lack of a market maker for our securities could adversely influence the market for and price of our securities, as well as your ability to dispose of, or to obtain accurate information about, and/or quotations as to the price of, our securities.

We have limited experience as a public company.

We have only operated as a public company since 2008. Thus, we have limited experience in complying with the various rules and regulations which are required of a public company. As a result, we may not be able to operate successfully as a public company, even if our operations are successful. We plan to comply with all of the various rules and regulations which are required of a public company. However, if we cannot operate successfully as a public company, your investment may be materially adversely affected. Our inability to operate as a public company could be the basis of your losing your entire investment in us.

We may be required to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940, or the Investment Advisors Act, which could increase the regulatory burden on us and could negatively affect the price and trading of our securities.

Because our business involves the acting as a developer of indexes that allow investors to access specific market niches or sub-markets, we may be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or the Investment Advisors Act and analogous state law. While we believe that we are currently either not an investment company or an investment advisor or are exempt from registration as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or the Investment Advisors Act and analogous state law, either the SEC or state regulators, or both, may disagree and could require registration either immediately or at some point in the future. As a result, there could be an increased regulatory burden on us which could negatively affect the price and trading of our securities.

Our stock has no public trading market and there is no guarantee a trading market will ever develop for our securities.

There has been, and continues to be, no public market for our common stock. An active trading market for our shares has not, and may never develop or be sustained. If you purchase shares of common stock, you may not be able to resell those shares at or above the initial price you paid. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control, including the following:

 
- 15 -

 


    *    actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;
 
    *    changes in financial estimates by securities analysts or our failure to perform in line with such estimates;
 
    *    changes in market valuations of other companies, particularly those that market services such as ours;
 
    *    announcements by us or our competitors of significant innovations,  acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
 
    *    introduction of product enhancements that reduce the need for the products our projects may develop;
 
    *    departures of key personnel.

Of our total outstanding shares as of September 30, 2009, a total of 8,325,000, or approximately 92.4%, will be restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

As restrictions on resale end, the market price of our stock could drop significantly if the holders of restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.

Applicable SEC rules governing the trading of “Penny Stocks” limit the liquidity of our common stock, which may affect the trading price of our common stock.
 
Our common stock is currently not quoted in any market. If our common stock becomes quoted, we anticipate that it will trade well below $5.00 per share. As a result, our common stock is considered a “penny stock” and is subject to SEC rules and regulations that impose limitations upon the manner in which our shares can be publicly traded.  These regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock and the associated risks.  Under these regulations, certain brokers who recommend such securities to persons other than established customers or certain accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the written purchaser’s agreement to a transaction prior to purchase.  These regulations have the effect of limiting the trading activity of our common stock and reducing the liquidity of an investment in our common stock.
 
The over-the-counter market for stock such as ours is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations.

The securities of companies such as ours have historically experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations during certain periods. These broad market fluctuations and other factors, such as new product developments and trends in the our industry and in the investment markets generally, as well as economic conditions and quarterly variations in our operational results, may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.

Buying low-priced penny stocks is very risky and speculative.

The shares being offered are defined as a penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and rules of the Commission. The Exchange Act and such penny stock rules generally impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than certain accredited investors who are, generally, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 jointly with spouse, or in transactions not recommended by the broker-dealer. For transactions covered by the penny stock rules, a broker-dealer must make a suitability determination for each purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement prior to the sale. In addition, the broker-dealer must make certain mandated disclosures in penny stock transactions, including the actual sale or purchase price and actual bid and offer quotations, the compensation to be received by the broker-dealer and certain associated persons, and deliver certain disclosures required by the Commission. Consequently, the penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to make a market in or trade our common stock and may also affect your ability to resell any shares you may purchase in the public markets.
 
 Issuances of our stock could dilute current shareholders and adversely affect the market price of our common stock, if a public trading market develops.
 
     We have the authority to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock, 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, and to issue options and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock without stockholder approval. Although no financing is planned currently, we may need to raise additional capital to fund operating losses. If we raise funds by issuing equity securities, our existing stockholders may experience substantial dilution. In addition, we could issue large blocks of our common stock to fend off unwanted tender offers or hostile takeovers without further stockholder approval.

 
- 16 -

 


        The issuance of preferred stock by our board of directors could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock. An issuance of preferred stock could result in a class of outstanding securities that would have preferences with respect to voting rights and dividends and in liquidation over the common stock and could, upon conversion or otherwise, have all of the rights of our common stock. Our board of directors' authority to issue preferred stock could discourage potential takeover attempts or could delay or prevent a change in control through merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise by making these attempts more difficult or costly to achieve.

Colorado law and our Articles of Incorporation protect our directors from certain types of lawsuits, which could make it difficult for us to recover damages from them in the event of a lawsuit.
 
     Colorado law provides that our directors will not be liable to our company or to our stockholders for monetary damages for all but certain types of conduct as directors. Our Articles of Incorporation require us to indemnify our directors and officers against all damages incurred in connection with our business to the fullest extent provided or allowed by law. The exculpation provisions may have the effect of preventing stockholders from recovering damages against our directors caused by their negligence, poor judgment or other circumstances. The indemnification provisions may require our company to use our assets to defend our directors and officers against claims, including claims arising out of their negligence, poor judgment, or other circumstances.

We do not expect to pay dividends on common stock.

We have not paid any cash dividends with respect to our common stock, and it is unlikely that we will pay any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Earnings, if any, that we may realize will be retained in the business for further development and expansion.
