EXPLANATORY NOTE

Our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and related condensed footnote disclosures in this Amendment No. 1 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A have been restated in accordance with the changes described below:

In September 2010, we concluded that it was necessary to amend this Quarterly Report in order to restate our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to reflect the audit adjustments made to the December 31, 2008 consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K, which were not reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2009 originally filed on the Form 10-Q. While preparing this amendment, the Company noted certain other misstatements to the originally filed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and the period from April 30, 1998 (inception) to March 31, 2009.

The consolidated financial statements and other financial information included in this Amendment No. 1 have been restated accordingly. The public should no longer rely on our previously filed financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2009. These matters have been discussed by our authorized executive officers and with our independent registered public accounting firm. This Amendment No. 1 is stated as of the file date of the Original Filing and does not reflect events occurring after the filing date of the Original Filing, or modify or update the disclosures therein in any way other than as required to reflect the amendment described above.

STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This report contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including without limitation, statements in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations regarding our financial position, estimated working capital, business strategy, the plans and objectives of our management for future operations and those statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words "believe", "expects", "anticipates", "intends", "estimates", "projects", "target", "goal", "plans", "objective", "should", or similar expressions or variations on such expressions are forward-looking statements. We can give no assurances that the assumptions upon which the forward-looking statements are based will prove to be correct. Because forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. There are a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements.

Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we disclaim any obligations or undertaking to publicly release any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

American Asset Development, Inc. (formerly Empyrean Holdings, Inc.) ("AADI" or the "Company") was incorporated in Nevada on April 30, 1998. AADI is a U.S. based holding company structured to operate similarly to a Business Development Corporation while incubating several different corporate infrastructures that we expect to eventually spin-off into their own publicly-traded companies. AADI is a development stage entity.

On October 19, 2010, the Company filed Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation changing the Company's name from Empyrean Holdings, Inc. to American Asset Development, Inc., effective October 21, 2010.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and the accounting policies set forth in its audited financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2008 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company is in the development stage and consequently its financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.7 "Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises".

In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary to provide a fair presentation of operating results for the interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted. The results of operations presented for the three months ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

As described in Note 5, the consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect the audit adjustments made to the December 31, 2008 consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K, which were not reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2009 originally filed on the Form 10-Q.

While preparing this amendment, the Company noted certain other misstatements to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and the period from April 30, 1998 (inception) to March 31, 2009, which are also described in Note 5.

Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and revenue and expenses in the statements of income and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain 2008 amounts have been reclassified to be consistent with current year classification.

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred net losses of ($47,986) during the three months ended March 31, 2009, which increased the accumulated deficit to ($2,374,796) as of March 31, 2009, and the Company has a working capital deficit of ($531,914) as of March 31, 2009. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management is trying to raise additional capital through sales of common stock as well as seeking financing from third parties. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 - NOTES PAYABLE - RELATED PARTIES

During 2007, the Company received advances from IMR, LLC. This note payable incurs interest at 8% per annum and is due on demand. This note continued to accrued interest during the three months ended March 31, 2009. As of March 31, 2009, the Company's Note payable due to IMR, LLC was $154,386, which includes $12,991 of accrued interest.

Advances made to the Company by a former consultant accrue interest at 8 % per annum. As of March 31, 2009, the amount due on this note was $18,998, which includes $3,742 of accrued interest. The note is due on demand.

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company received advances from investors and related parties of $25,500 and made payments totaling $6,500 on prior advances. These advances are due on demand and accrue interest at 8% per annum. As of March 31, 2009, the Company's payable to investors and related parties for advances totaled $99,379, which includes $5,937 of accrued interest.

NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES

The Company records its income taxes in accordance with SFAS No.109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The Company incurred net operating losses during all periods presented in a deferred tax asset, which was fully allowed for; therefore, the net benefit and expense resulted in $-0- income taxes.

NOTE 5 - RESTATEMENT

Summary of Restatement Items

In September 2010, while preparing for the 2009 audit, the Company concluded that it was necessary to amend and restate its consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to reflect the audit adjustments recorded for the year ended December 31, 2008. The audit adjustments primarily related to writing off the Company's fixed assets in settlement of an account payable obligation, recording additional non-cash accrued interest expense, impairment of certain other assets, and adjustments to accrued expenses. The Company noted certain other misstatements to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and the period from April 30, 1998 (inception) to March 31, 2009, relating to: non-cash accrued interest expense, loss on settlement of accounts payable, and accrual for past due wages.

NOTE 6 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

During June 2009 the Company obtained a high interest short term mortgage loan of $36,500 by pledging the unencumbered property in Green Bay Wisconsin. The net proceeds of this loan of $25,241 were used for working capital. This loan was repaid during August 2009 with proceeds from the sale of the property, discussed below.

During July 2009 an agreement was reached with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WI DOT) for an early buyout of the Green Bay, Wisconsin property, which WI DOT was intending to acquire for a road project. The Company accepted the fair market value of $102,000 offered by WI DOT and the sale was finalized during August 2009. The net proceeds received after deduction for the full settlement of the outstanding amount on the mortgage and the payment of all back property taxes was $63,201. A large portion of these proceeds was used to repay a $36,500 short term mortgage property loan from an investor that included a high penalty for delayed payment, and the remaining amount was utilized as working capital.

On July 8, 2009 the Company finalized a Purchase and Sale Agreement ("Purchase Agreement") with Terri A. Hourigan, trustee of the Terri A. Hourigan 2003 Revocable Trust (the "Seller") dated May 23, 2003 for the purchase of real property located at 118 N. Patterson, Santa Barbara, California 93111 which is in the development stage for $5,800,000.

A purchase option ("Option") for this purchase was executed with the Purchase Agreement, requiring payment of the purchase price to be made within 30 days from the time the option is exercised on the completion of the recordation of the Final Map for the property and fulfillment of certain other conditions.

The consideration for the Option consisted of: payment of option deposits pursuant to the Option terms; payment of the development costs for the project; $50,000 (5,000,000 shares) of restricted common stock; and assumption of $100,000 of personal loans borrowed by the Seller at a 15% interest rate from November 1, 2008.

The Company was unable to exercise its option as the conditions for exercise were not met. During the 4th quarter of 2009, the Company expensed capitalized investment in real estate costs of $219,507, consisting of $50,000 for issuance of 5,000,000 restricted shares of common stock, assumption of debt plus accrued interest of $117,476, and cash paid for development costs of $52,031.

Ms. Hourigan was not a related party of the Company at the time the Purchase Agreement and Option was executed in July of 2009. However, on July 31, 2010, over a year after the execution of the Purchase Agreement and Option, Ms. Hourigan assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

In connection with the Purchase and Sale agreement for the purchase of real estate property, discussed above, the Company assumed $100,000 of personal loans borrowed by the Seller, at a 15% interest rate from November 1, 2008.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Forward-looking Statement Notice

This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. For this purpose any statements contained in this Form 10-Q that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, words such as "may," "will," "expect," "believe," "anticipate," "estimate" or "continue" or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of factors, many of which are not within our control. These factors include but are not limited to economic conditions generally and in the industries in which we may participate; competition within our chosen industry, including competition from much larger competitors; technological advances and failure to successfully develop business relationships.

Plan of Operation

The severe downturn in the economy continued for the first quarter of 2009. The lack of financing severely curtailed the Company from making any progress in its long-term corporate development plan.

However, the overall objective of working towards becoming a diversified holding company providing competitive returns on investment has not changed. With the shutdown of operations of Empyrean Construction in October 2008, the company has no ongoing business. There is no intention of restarting the construction business and all the other subsidiaries are currently dormant.

Results of Operations

No revenue was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to revenue of $57,257 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, comprised of sales of real estate of $49,000 and construction revenue of $8,257.

Our total costs and expense during the three months ended March 31, 2009 decreased to $39,665 from $164,303 during the prior year quarter, as a result of decreases in general and administrative expenses, including decreased payroll and payroll related costs, insurance, property taxes, and utilities, and a decrease in cost of real estate sold.

Total other expense, net, during the three months ended March 31, 2009 increased to $8,321 from $2,769 during the prior year quarter. The increase was due to a $3,744 loss on settlement of accounts payable recognized during the current quarter combined with increased interest expense resulting from increased borrowings.

Net loss was ($47,986) for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to net loss of ($109,815) for the three months ended March 31, 2008, for the reasons set forth above.

Liquidity & Capital Resources

It was decided to obtain a mortgage loan for the sole remaining property the company owns in Green Bay, Wisconsin through Empyrean Properties Inc. to raise working capital. Such loan was not closed during the current quarter, and the Company expects to obtain such mortgage loan during 2009.

During the next 12 months, significant working capital will be needed to get the company back on track with its development plans. It is also necessary to obtain interim financing to catch up on the company's delayed 2008 yearend audit and the review of its 10Q filings. It is necessary to catch up with all the delayed SEC filings so that the company can be relisted on the OTCBB.

Though the Company entered into a $10 million Equity Line of Credit agreement last December it cannot be activated until the company files an S-1 registration. There can be no guarantee that the interim financing needed will be obtained in a timely manner and even it is obtained that it will be available on terms that are beneficial to the Company.

These factors and the current recession raise substantial doubts about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Holders of Company stock may be faced with the inability to liquidate part or all of their investment on terms which are profitable. It must be remembered that an investment in Company stock is highly speculative, and investors must be prepared to lose some or all of their investment.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on that evaluation, our management, including the CEO, concluded that as of March 31, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure the information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, and was accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO, of persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. We have not begun a process to remediate our material weakness previously reported.
