Los Angeles Syndicate of Technology (“last.vc”), a Nevada corporation, is a publicly traded venture investment company.  Our common stock is dually listed on the OTC Bulletin Board and the OTCQB Marketplace under the symbol “LAST”. We provide support capital for web and mobile technology companies at different stages of development, and seek to partner with talented entrepreneurs to build successful enterprises and drive value for our shareholders.

Our goal is to be the partner of choice for startup and early-stage technology companies that require tailored financing. We evaluate and invest in a diverse portfolio of technologies, offering customized growth capital at all levels of the capital structure. We invest primarily in common and preferred stock or convertible debt of seed-stage companies. We will also make structured debt investments, which we define as any debt investment, such as a senior or subordinated loan, that also includes an equity security, including stock, options, or warrants, in more developed companies. Our investment objective is to maximize our portfolio’s total return by generating capital appreciation from our equity investments and to a lesser extent current income from our debt investments.

We invest in the highest-growth segments of the technology market, including web-based technology, mobile applications, and social media. We target businesses that are self-proliferating, capital efficient and defensible. Central to our strategy is the structure of our network. We align the interests of our portfolio companies through shared ownership of last.vc, driving collaboration, innovation and the support capacity of our syndicate. By partnering with talented entrepreneurs at the earliest stages, we believe we can add the most value and generate the highest return.

We are an internally-managed, non-diversified closed-end investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940. We have chosen to operate under the BDC structure to facilitate the flow of capital between small businesses and the capital markets.

Business Strategy
We seek to generate capital appreciation and realized gains through the pursuit of compelling opportunities while applying a structured investment process. The following are key elements of our strategy:

Guide our portfolio companies through the challenges of early growth.  We provide our portfolio companies with the capital to cultivate their product and grow into profitability. Beyond capital support, last.vc provides managerial assistance, marketing resources, and technological collaboration. As the companies mature, we prepare them for subsequent financing rounds or other liquidity events by providing legal expertise, accounting resources, and access to the capital markets. By offering these services, we enable the entrepreneurs to focus on developing their product.

Offer tailored solutions to become the most attractive partner for our network of entrepreneurs. In our role as an incubator of seed stage companies, our strategy is to invest between $20,000 and $50,000 in return for a minority ownership position in the company. In our role as a specialty finance partner to later stage companies we will provide structured debt investments, ranging from $50,000 to $500,000. Our structured debt investments will be tailored to accommodate the borrower’s cash flow generation and lifecycle maturity. Our secured financing investments target companies with intellectual property, technology or platforms accretive to our portfolio.

Build a diverse portfolio of the most innovative technology companies. We focus on the newest entrants into the fastest growing emerging technology markets, including software, Internet, mobile and social media, which benefit from low capital requirements. The low capital investment, coupled with the short development timeline of technology companies, enables us spread our capital base across a wide spectrum of investments - a process we believe helps mitigate the inherent risk of venture capital investing. Additionally, by investing in both equity and debt securities across many stages of the development lifecycle, we believe can generate attractive risk-adjusted returns in the form of capital appreciation from our equity securities, and current income, in the form of interest and fee income, from our debt investments.


Investment Process
Our portfolio building and monitoring process is rigorous. We source our investments through our principal offices in Santa Monica, California and apply a disciplined approach. This consists of an initial review, diligence and selection, business support and collaboration, and ultimately operational optimization and capital recycling.

Initial Review, Diligence and Selection. Potential investments are allocated to a member of the last.vc staff who conducts an initial review. This review summarizes the key terms, market opportunity, investment strengths and risks, and highlighting key diligence items for review by the investment manager. The last.vc diligence process includes both qualitative and quantitative analyses to determine the value proposition, viability, defensibility, and capital efficiency of each idea. After preparing a formal approval request memorandum, our professionals present the potential investment to our investment council. All investment commitments will require the majority approval of the investment council, with such approval documented in our internal databases.

Business Support and Collaboration. Once we approve an investment, we bring the founders under the last.vc umbrella, providing them with the necessary office space, capital, and technological and managerial assistance to build their product. Each entrepreneur, once a part of the last.vc syndicate, has access to our proprietary collaboration platform which enables real-time information sharing and resource sharing..

Operational Optimization and Capital Recycling. We work closely with our portfolio companies to help them develop their business models, devise marketing strategies, optimize operations, and drive synergies across our portfolio. As our portfolio grows, so will the network effect and the value of collaboration, enhancing the value of the overall network. Our executives will serve on the boards of many of our portfolio companies enabling us to take an active role in shaping the direction of each company. Given our focus on capital efficient models, we are able to bring our companies to market quickly. Some companies will reach cash flow generation, some will require further capital, and some will fail. last.vc is a long-term partner of its entrepreneurs but also understands the value of recycling capital to stay at the forefront of the technology curve.


Our Network
last.vc is founded on the principle that information sharing drives innovation, and that innovation fuels productivity and economic growth. We believe that value accrues when interests are aligned, and this credo manifests itself in every aspect of our company. Our shared ownership structure incentivizes every member of our network to collaborate, which in turn dramatically increases the support capacity of our syndicate.
We believe that this support capacity is what will attract talented entrepreneurs to last.vc, and drive innovation and efficiency within our network. As the cost to develop web and mobile-based technologies continues to decline, so too does the importance of capital. Entrepreneurs are increasingly seeking support – in the form of technical resources, marketing and connections – when selecting a partner. Our capacity stems from connections built within our network.  As more members are connected, an increasing volume of information is shared, and the value of the network grows. Potential investments can be vetted by a larger audience, technical business development challenges can be solved by a wider support base, and productivity will be driven by the sharing of information, a key catalyst for economic growth.


last.vc has developed a proprietary web portal available to our network of entrepreneurs and investors. With the motivation to collaborate established, our real-time communication portal facilitates cooperation and information sharing across our network. By connecting our network, last.vc and our portfolio companies benefit from:

·  
immediate access to subject matter experts across many disciplines including web development, marketing, mobile application creation, business model assistance, technical support, financial transaction structuring, accounting advice and legal opinions;
 
 

 
 
14

 
 
·  
introductions to attractive businesses and talented entrepreneurs from members of our network who are financially incentivized to bring compelling opportunities to last.vc;

·  
a robust investment selection process that benefits from the opinions of those closest to the technology who best understand the market dynamics and potential viability, our network; and

·  
increased productivity and efficiency which drives down the cost of developing our companies and their time to market.


History
The Company, formerly Bay Street Capital (“BSC”), Small Cap Strategies (“SCS”), and Photonics Corporation (“Photonics”), was re-domiciled in Nevada through a reverse merger effective on September 30, 2006 where Photonics, a California corporation, merged into Small Cap Strategies, Inc., a Nevada corporation, with SCS being the surviving entity.  The effect of this corporate action was to change the Company’s state of incorporation from the State of California to the State of Nevada.

On March 7, 2006 the Company filed a notification under Form N54a with the SEC indicating our election to be regulated as a business development company under the 1940 Act.

On November 24, 2008, the Company filed Form N-54C with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to notify the SEC of the withdrawal of our previous election to be regulated as a Business Development Company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”).  This action was taken to best facilitate a planned business model of developing and producing oil and natural gas.  The Company entered into a letter of intent to acquire all the major oil and gas properties of Xtreme Oil & Gas, Inc. (XTOG.PK), which was a major shareholder of the Company.  After several attempts to reach a deal to purchase the properties of Xtreme, it became evident that a deal could not be reached by the 4th Quarter of 2009.

The Board of Directors resolved on November 15, 2009 that the Company would again pursue the business model of an investment and management company. On April 12, 2010, we filed Form N-54a with the SEC to elect to be treated as a BDC governed under the Investment Act of 1940.

On July 20, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors unanimously approved and a majority of shareholders consented to a Name Change to Bay Street Capital, Inc. and authorized the Company in enact a 1 for 50 reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock.  Both corporate actions were effective with FINRA on August 31, 2010.

On September 24, 2010 the Company’s Board of Directors unanimously approved and a majority of shareholders consented to a Name Change to Los Angeles Syndicate of Technology, Inc.  The name change was effective with FINRA on October 14, 2010.

The Company currently operates as an internally managed closed-end non-diversified Business Development Company and is traded on the OTCBB and OTCQB under the symbol “LAST”.

Pursuant to Regulation S-X, Rule 6, the Company operates on a non-consolidated basis.  Operations of portfolio companies are reported at the portfolio company level and only the appreciation or impairment of these investments is included in the Company’s financial statements.  Pursuant to FASB Topic 250, the Company had a change in accounting principle when it re-elected to BDC status.  Topic 250 requires retroactive restatement of the company’s financial statements to conform to the current presentation for all periods presented.

Unaudited Condensed Interim Financial Statements Basis of Presentation

Interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of financial statements for the interim periods have been included. The current period’s results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results that ultimately may be achieved for the year. The interim unaudited financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The accompanying financial statements reflect the accounts of last.vc and the related results of its operations. In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933 and Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company does not consolidate portfolio company investments in which the Company has a controlling interest.


GOING CONCERN

At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had current assets excluding investments of $886 and $15,808; current liabilities of $290,383 and $199,897; and a working capital deficit, excluding investments, of $289,497 and $184,089.  The Company incurred a net loss from operations of $79,575 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  The Company’s only sources of cash flow has been from sales of investments, the sale of the Company’s restricted common stock and loans from the CEO.

The Company’s current sources of funding will come from the sale of the Company’s marketable investments, the sale of the Company’s common stock and from loans from the CEO.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.


NOTE 2:                      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Conversion to an Investment/Business Development Company
The operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 reflect the Company’s results as an investment/business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  The September 30, 2009 periods were reclassified to conform to the BDC format.

Management Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes
The Company has not elected to be a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on sales of investments for which the sales prices are in excess of their tax basis.

Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach for financial reporting. The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amount and the tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.  Interest and penalties when incurred are charged to current operations.
 
 
Valuation of Investments as an Investment Company
We are a business development company regulated by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”). Section 2(a)(41) of the Act defines Value as (i) the market price for those securities for which a market quotation is readily available and (ii) for all other securities and assets, fair value is determined in good faith by the Board of Directors (“BOD”). We expect that few, if any, of our portfolio companies will have market quotations, and as such, we expect to rely on the fair value determined in good faith by our BOD for the valuation of our portfolio companies.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) provides guidance on the determination of fair value. The Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”) establishes a framework for measuring fair value that includes three distinct valuation techniques, (i) the Market Approach, (ii) the Income Approach and (iii) the Cost Approach. There is no single standard for determining fair value in good faith under any of these approaches, and as a result, determining fair value requires judgment be applied to the facts and circumstances of each of our portfolio investments. FAS 157 notes that in some cases the use of multiple valuation techniques will be appropriate. Under such circumstances, FASB recommends that the results of the various techniques be evaluated and weighted appropriately.
 
 
 
17

 

We believe that given the highly illiquid and unique nature of our investments, a blended approach that incorporates two or more of the techniques outlined by FAS 157 will result in the most accurate approximation of fair value. Following are descriptions of each technique and how we apply them to our portfolio companies.

Market Approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. Common applications of this approach include our use of the valuation implied by market transactions in our portfolio companies by third-party investors and market multiples derived from a set of comparable companies. When determining fair value under the Market Approach, we often draw from the terms of the most recent third party, arms-length transaction.

Income Approach. The income approach incorporates estimates of future cash flows or earnings and discounts them to a single present value based on current market expectations. Under the Income Approach we apply two discounted cash flow (“DCF”) methods to derive estimates of fair value.

Cost Approach. The cost approach is based on the replacement cost of an asset. When applying this approach, we consider the cost to a market participant to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

In order to determine which valuation technique, or combination of techniques, to employ, we split our portfolio companies into three general groups, (i) those in which we hold a control position (>25% of voting stock) that have received financing by a third party in an arms-length transaction, (ii) those in which we have a control position that have not received financing from another party, and (iii) those in which we hold an ownership position below 25% of the voting stock.

Currently our portfolio consists solely of companies that fit within sections (i) and (ii) in the preceding paragraph. The following table illustrates how we apply valuation techniques across our portfolio.

Valuation Process

The following is a description of the steps we take each quarter to determine the value of our portfolio. We expect that the majority of our investments will continue to be recorded at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board of Directors utilizing the input of our investment professionals and advisory board. With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, the following valuation process is utilized quarterly to determine fair value:

·  
our investment professionals utilize industry valuation methods such as enterprise value multiples, discounted cash flow and other present value techniques, price to earnings ratios, valuation comparisons to comparable public companies or other industry benchmarks in our evaluation of the fair value of our investment;

·  
preliminary valuation conclusions are documented and discussed with last.vc senior management and subsequently discussed with our advisory board;

·  
the Board of Directors discusses the valuations and determines the value of our portfolio companies in good faith based on the input of our investment professionals and senior management and our advisory board.

We will record unrealized depreciation on investments when we believe that an investment has decreased in value or if the collection of a loan is doubtful. Conversely, we will record unrealized appreciation if we believe that the underlying portfolio company has appreciated in value and, therefore, our investment has also appreciated in value, where appropriate.

Comprehensive Income
All items required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. Standards require that an enterprise (a) classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in financial statements and (b) display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately in the equity section of the balance sheet for all periods presented. The Company’s comprehensive income (loss) does not differ from its reported net income (loss).

As an investment company, the Company must report changes in the fair value of its investments outside of its operating income on its statement of operations and reflect the accumulated appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of its investments as a separate component of its stockholders’ deficit. This treatment is similar to the treatment discussed above.

Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets From Operations Per Share (EPS)
 
 
 
19

 
 
The Company is required to report both basic earnings per share, which is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, and diluted earnings per share, which is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus all potentially dilutive shares outstanding.  At September 30, 2010 and 2009, there are no potentially dilutive common stock equivalents.  Accordingly, no common stock equivalents are included in the earnings (loss) per share calculations and basic and diluted earnings per share are the same for all periods presented.

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2009 balances to conform to the 2010 financial statement presentation.

Fair Value
 
Disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments is required when it is practicable to estimate that value.  The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash, marketable equity securities, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their estimated fair value due to the short-term maturities of these financial instruments and because related interest rates offered to the Company approximate current rates.  At this time, management has determined it will not adopt fair value accounting for its non-financial assets and liabilities.
 
Fixed Assets
 
Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets (generally five and seven years).  The carrying amount of all long-lived assets is evaluated periodically to determine if adjustment to the depreciation and amortization period or the unamortized balance is warranted.  Based upon its most recent analysis, the Company believes that no impairment of property and equipment exists at September 30, 2010.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred.  Betterments and renewals are capitalized.  When property and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operations.
 
Stock Based Compensation
 
The compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions (including the cost of all employee stock options) is required to be recognized in the financial statements.  That cost will be measured based on the estimated fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The Company’s financial statements reflect an expense for all share-based compensation arrangements granted on or after January 1, 2006 and for any such arrangements that are modified, cancelled or repurchased after that date, based on the grant-date estimated fair value.

As of September 30, 2010 and 2009, there were options outstanding for 21,698 shares from the 1997 Plan.  These options expire in 2011.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
Cash is maintained at financial institutions.  The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insures accounts at each institution for up to $250,000.  At times, cash balances may exceed the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000.
 
 
 
20

 
 
Accounting Standards Codification
 
 
The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") during 2009.  The ASC does not alter current accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), but rather integrates existing accounting standards with other authoritative guidance.  The ASC provides a single source of authoritative GAAP for nongovernmental entities and supersedes all other previously issued non-public accounting and reporting guidance.  The adoption of the ASC has no effect on the Company's financial statements.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
During 2009, the Company adopted the FASB ASC Topic 105 (previously FASB Statement No. 168, "The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles."  ASC Topic 105 establishes the ASC as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Below is a listing of the most recent accounting standards and their effect on the Company, as issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") in the form of Accounting Standards Updates ("ASU").  We have evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements through September 30, 2010 and find none that would have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company, except for those detailed below.

In August 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-21 (ASU 2010-21), "Accounting for Technical Amendments to Various SEC Rules and Schedules -- Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Release No. 33-9026; Technical Amendments to Rules, Forms, Schedules and Codification of Financial Reporting Policies" and ASU 2010-22, "Accounting for Various Topics -- Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs - An announcement made by the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission." Both corrections have been adopted by the Company and had no effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

NOTE 3:                 CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

From December 15, 2005 until November 24, 2008, the Company operated as a BDC under the 1940 Act.  As such, the Company was subject to different reporting requirements and methods of accounting for its investments.  With the change to being an operating company, the Company was no longer subject to the requirements of a BDC and the Company was required to retroactively modify its financial statements as if it were not subject to the requirements of a BDC during all periods presented at the end of 2008.  With the re-election to be regulated as a BDC, the Company is required to again recast its prior financial statements as a BDC.

During the first three quarters of 2009, the Company originally filed its financial statements as an operating company.  The net loss of $35,135 and $320,212 originally filed for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, are the same as the net decreases in net assets from operations in the statements of operations utilizing BDC accounting.

NOTE 6:                      RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The officer and directors of the Company are involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities as they become available. The officer and directors may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and their other business interests. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.

On September 27th, 2010 the Company entered into restricted share purchase agreements to offer restricted shares of the Company’s common stock for $.02 per share.  The Company issued 11,510,000 shares to the CEO and 21 other individuals that had been engaged to join last.vc as executive officers, advisors, and consultants.  The share purchase agreement contains a one year lock on the transfer of the shares and a 36 month vesting and repurchase provision that allows the Company to repurchase unvested shares at cost should an individual break the terms of their engagement agreement.

On September 28th, 2010 the Company issued 350,000 shares of Company common stock to Brad Curry pursuant to a debt to equity conversion agreement.  Under the agreement, Mr. Curry agreed to convert $3,500 remaining debt to common stock at $.01 per share and forgive $3,000 of debt owed by the Company.

On November 24, 2008, the Company amended its Letter of Intent dated October 1, 2008, in which the Company agreed to acquire working interests in certain oil and gas properties and two operating companies from a shareholder, Xtreme Oil & Gas, Inc.  The parties agreed to extend the closing date until March 30, 2009, in exchange for issuance of 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Xtreme as an extension fee.  The total purchase price was to be reduced by the extension fee.  The shares were originally valued at $1,275,000, the amount at which the stock was trading on the date of the amendment and the total was initially expensed as an extension fee.  On April 6, 2009, the Company and Xtreme agreed to rescind the extension agreement and the 50,000 shares were returned to the Company and cancelled.  The LOI expired under its original terms on December 31, 2008, therefore the extension fee is not reflected in the financial statements.  Xtreme owned 32.66% of the Company's common stock as of December 31, 2009.  On May 10, 2010, Xtreme entered into a stock purchase agreement with the Company's CEO and the Company's CEO acquired the 8,000 shares previously owned by Xtreme.

At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company owed its CEO $288,483 and $159,897, respectively, for loans, accrued compensation and expense reimbursements, which is included in due to related parties.  The amount owed at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 includes a non-interest bearing convertible note in the amount of $133,807 which is convertible at $0.50 per share or NAV per share, whichever is greater (267,614 shares at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009).  NAV at September 30, 2010 is $0.24 per share and at December 31, 2009 is ($6.89) per share.

Officer’s compensation and director’s fees related to the services provided by Bryce Knight, President and Director of the Company, are paid directly to Knight, Inc. (formerly Knight Enterprises, Inc.), a Nevada corporation 100% owned by Bryce Knight.

At December 31, 2009, the Company has received advances from Xtreme and owed $40,000, which was included in due to related parties.  As a part of the transaction discussed above, the Company's CEO acquired the obligation owed to Xtreme.

On May 10, 2010, Knight, Inc., pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, sold $40,000 of receivables due to Knight by the Company to an unaffiliated third party for $40,000 in cash and other mutually agreed upon consideration.  This transaction was later cancelled in the 3rd Quarter.

As a result of the Xtreme merger not being completed and effective July 1, 2010, officers and employees of Xtreme returned 5,800 shares of the Company's common stock to be cancelled.  Mr. Knight also returned 541 shares to be cancelled.  The 6,341 shares were cancelled by the transfer agent on July 19, 2010.  The cancellation of the shares was recorded as a contribution to capital by the shareholders on July 1, 2010.

Effective July 11, 2010, Knight, Inc., wholly owned by Bryce Knight, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, acquired 10,000 newly issued shares of the Company's common stock in exchange for $5,000 in cash previously paid to the Company.  On September 27, 2010, Knight, Inc. acquired 3,250,000 shares pursuant to a share purchase agreement in exchange for $65,000 owed to Knight, Inc.

ITEM 2:                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This information statement contains forward-looking statements.  For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may", "will",  "should",  "expects",  "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "predicts",  "potential",  "continue" or the negative  of such terms or other comparable  terminology. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially. There are a number of factors that could cause our actual  results  to  differ  materially  from  those  indicated  by  such forward-looking  statements.

Although  we  believe  that  the  expectations  reflected in the forward-looking statements  are  reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, we do not assume responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of such forward-looking statements. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this information statement to conform such statements to actual results. Management's discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes  herein.

We are publicly traded venture investment company. We provide support capital for web and mobile technology companies at different stages of development, and seek to partner with talented entrepreneurs to build successful enterprises and drive value for our shareholders.

Our goal is to be the partner of choice for startup and early-stage technology companies that require tailored financing. We evaluate and invest in a diverse portfolio of technologies, offering customized growth capital at all levels of the capital structure.  We invest primarily in common and preferred stock or convertible debt of seed-stage companies. We will also make structured debt investments, which we define as any debt investment, such as a senior or subordinated loan, that also includes an equity security, including stock, options, or warrants, in more developed companies. Our investment objective is to maximize our portfolio total return by generating capital appreciation from our equity investments and to a lesser extent current income from our debt investments.

We invest in the highest-growth segments of the technology market, including web-based technology, mobile applications, and social media. We target businesses that are self-proliferating, capital efficient and defensible. Central to our strategy is the structure of our network. We align the interests of our portfolio companies thorough shared ownership of last.vc, driving collaboration, innovation and the support capacity of our syndicate. By partnering with talented entrepreneurs at the earliest stages, we believe we can add the most value and generate the highest return.

We are an internally-managed, non-diversified closed-end investment company that has elected to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940. We have chosen to operate under the BDC structure to facilitate the flow of capital between small businesses and the capital markets.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of  Financial  Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared  in  accordance  with  accounting  principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an on-going basis, we will evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, valuation of investments in portfolio companies, accrued expenses, financing operations, contingencies and litigation. We will base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  We became a non-diversified internally managed, closed-end investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, in November 2009.  Accordingly, the most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying  value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources, such as the investments in portfolio companies.  These accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion and  analysis and in the "Notes to Financial Statements" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had current assets of $886 and $15,808, exclusive of investments; current liabilities of $290,383 and $199,897; and a working capital deficit, exclusive of investments, of $289,497 and $184,089 at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.  The Company incurred a net loss from operations of $79,575 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

The Company’s only sources of cash flow has been from sales of investments, the sale of the Company’s restricted common stock and loans from the CEO.

The Company’s current sources of funding will come from the sale of the Company’s marketable investments, the sale of the Company’s common stock and from loans from the CEO.

Net Asset Value

As a BDC, certain of our activities and disclosures are made in reference to Net Asset Value (“NAV”) which is the value of our portfolio assets less debt and preferred stock.  This may be viewed, simply and generalized, as the value of our assets available to our common stock holders.  As of the date of the financial information in this report, the value of our portfolio of assets including investments and securities in portfolio companies, other assets and cash is $4,236,801 and from this, are subtracted liabilities and debts of $1,363,383.  There are no shares of preferred stock outstanding but the rights of preferred stockholders would be included if there were.  The NAV is therefore $2,873,418.  The Net Asset Value per Share (“NAV/S”) is calculated by dividing the NAV by the number of common shares outstanding (11,889,363).  The NAV/S is $0.24.

Business Strategy
We seek to generate capital appreciation and realized gains through the pursuit of compelling opportunities while applying a structured investment process. The following are key elements of our strategy:

Guide our portfolio companies through the challenges of early growth.  We provide our portfolio companies with the capital to cultivate their product and grow into profitability. Beyond capital support, last.vc provides managerial assistance, marketing resources, and technological collaboration. As the companies mature, we prepare them for subsequent financing rounds or other liquidity events by providing legal expertise, accounting resources, and access to the capital markets. By offering these services, we enable the entrepreneurs to focus on developing their product.

Offer tailored solutions to become the most attractive partner for our network of entrepreneurs. In our role as an incubator of seed stage companies, our strategy is to invest between $20,000 and $50,000 in return for a minority ownership position in the company. In our role as a specialty finance partner to later stage companies we will provide structured debt investments, ranging from $50,000 to $500,000. Our structured debt investments will be tailored to accommodate the borrower’s cash flow generation and lifecycle maturity. Our secured financing investments target companies with intellectual property, technology or platforms accretive to our portfolio.

Build a diverse portfolio of the most innovative technology companies. We focus on the newest entrants into the fastest growing emerging technology markets, including software, Internet, mobile and social media, which benefit from low capital requirements. The low capital investment, coupled with the short development timeline of technology companies, enables us spread our capital base across a wide spectrum of investments - a process we believe helps mitigate the inherent risk of venture capital investing. Additionally, by investing in both equity and debt securities across many stages of the development lifecycle, we believe can generate attractive risk-adjusted returns in the form of capital appreciation from our equity securities, and current income, in the form of interest and fee income, from our debt investments.

Investment Process
Our portfolio building and monitoring process is rigorous. We source our investments through our principal offices in Santa Monica, California and apply a disciplined approach. This consists of an initial review, diligence and selection, business support and collaboration, and ultimately operational optimization and capital recycling.

Initial Review, Diligence and Selection. Potential investments are allocated to a member of the last.vc staff who conducts an initial review. This review summarizes the key terms, market opportunity, investment strengths and risks, and highlighting key diligence items for review by the investment manager. The last.vc diligence process includes both qualitative and quantitative analyses to determine the value proposition, viability, defensibility, and capital efficiency of each idea. After preparing a formal approval request memorandum, our professionals present the potential investment to our investment council. All investment commitments will require the majority approval of the investment council, with such approval documented in our internal databases.

Business Support and Collaboration. Once we approve an investment, we bring the founders under the last.vc umbrella, providing them with the necessary office space, capital, and technological and managerial assistance to build their product. Each entrepreneur, once a part of the last.vc syndicate, has access to our proprietary collaboration platform which enables real-time information sharing and resource sharing..

Operational Optimization and Capital Recycling. We work closely with our portfolio companies to help them develop their business models, devise marketing strategies, optimize operations, and drive synergies across our portfolio. As our portfolio grows, so will the network effect and the value of collaboration, enhancing the value of the overall network. Our executives will serve on the boards of many of our portfolio companies enabling us to take an active role in shaping the direction of each company. Given our focus on capital efficient models, we are able to bring our companies to market quickly. Some companies will reach cash flow generation, some will require further capital, and some will fail. last.vc is a long-term partner of its entrepreneurs but also understands the value of recycling capital to stay at the forefront of the technology curve.

Our Network
last.vc is founded on the principle that information sharing drives innovation, and that innovation fuels productivity and economic growth. We believe that value accrues when interests are aligned, and this credo manifests itself in every aspect of our company. Our shared ownership structure incentivizes every member of our network to collaborate, which in turn dramatically increases the support capacity of our syndicate.
 
We believe that this support capacity is what will attract talented entrepreneurs to last.vc, and drive innovation and efficiency within our network. As the cost to develop web and mobile-based technologies continues to decline, so too does the importance of capital. Entrepreneurs are increasingly seeking support – in the form of technical resources, marketing and connections – when selecting a partner. Our capacity stems from connections built within our network.  As more members are connected, an increasing volume of information is shared, and the value of the network grows. Potential investments can be vetted by a larger audience, technical business development challenges can be solved by a wider support base, and productivity will be driven by the sharing of information, a key catalyst for economic growth.


last.vc has developed a proprietary web portal available to our network of entrepreneurs and investors. With the motivation to collaborate established, our real-time communication portal facilitates cooperation and information sharing across our network. By connecting our network, last.vc and our portfolio companies benefit from:

·  
immediate access to subject matter experts across many disciplines including web development, marketing, mobile application creation, business model assistance, technical support, financial transaction structuring, accounting advice and legal opinions;

Industry Overview

Competitive Landscape
Venture capital firms in the United States manage approximately $179 billion, and the industry is currently dominated by large venture capital funds. The focus of these firms has shifted away from early-stage opportunities. As funds and firms have grown larger, the relative attractiveness of time-consuming, early stage investments has declined. As a result, these funds have focused on larger and later rounds. In 1995, the proportion of early stage financings within the venture capital industry was approximately 50%. This mix has shifted dramatically, declining to less than 30% in 2008.

This shift has given rise to the incubator model, and a number of such firms have developed to address this opportunity. While some of these companies have been successful in preparing their entrepreneurs for future financings, all of them continue to embody many of the legacy attributes of the old venture capital model. From the structure of their funds with high minimum investment thresholds and restrictive holding periods, to the nature of their involvement, the competition is not prepared for what we view as the future of support capital. 

last.vc differentiates itself from the competition by seamlessly connecting the investment community with our entrepreneurs and creating an ecosystem that encourages and facilitates collaboration.

In addition to being a compelling partner for the entrepreneur, enabling us to source the most compelling deals, last.vc offers investors a more attractive medium for gaining venture capital exposure with unparalleled liquidity, and transparency into operations and financial reporting. We have chosen to operate in a BDC structure primarily because it is the regulatory framework for publicly-held companies specifically created to facilitate making venture capital investments in early stage companies. Moreover, it allows for non-accredited investors to participate in, and benefit from, the growth prospects of emerging companies, traditionally only available to accredited investors.

Market Opportunity
The technology industry is one of the most rapidly growing sectors of the U.S. economy, and we believe that an attractive opportunity exists for a public investment company focused on building a portfolio of early-stage technology companies.

Key elements of our opportunity include:

·  
Dramatic shifts in the way people create, share and consume media. The benefits of information sharing and heightened levels of communication manifest themselves in more ways than simply interacting with friends. We believe that challenges will increasingly be solved by networks of connected individuals, and that this secular shift creates vast opportunities for companies creating and investing in these technologies.

·  
Declining costs to build web and mobile-based technology.  Web-based technology companies are compelling because they benefit from low capital requirements while commanding high valuations (see chart below). The cost of starting and operating an internet-based business has dramatically declined over the last decade as a result of dropping hardware costs and maturing open source software. As grueling, time-consuming elements of web development are abstracted, both the cost and time required to build a web-based technology company will continue to decline. This decline has resulted in a shift in the capabilities web technology founders look for in a partner. Increasingly, entrepreneurs are valuing business support, brand connections, marketing and product support over the level of funding available from a partner. This adaptation creates a large and growing opportunity for web-technology incubators.

·  
Global adoption of Internet infrastructure and the proliferation of mobile technology. As the cost of internet access continues to decline, an increasing volume of information will be shared. This will require evolving tools and businesses to manage this flow of information. Beyond the growth of global internet infrastructure, mobile technology has exhibited explosive growth. The spectrum of applications is growing exponentially, creating compelling opportunities.

·  
Prevalence of open Application Programming Interface (“API”) architectures. An API allows web applications to communicate with each other and share information.  So as social networking has improved the connectivity of human beings, APIs have vastly improved the connectivity of software and the information and functionality residing within them.  This shift has enabled businesses to be more nimble, quickly integrating new functionality or information. Additionally, the proliferation of API architectures has reduced the cost and time to market for new businesses by allowing new technologies to be born atop of existing platforms.

ITEM 3:
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from changes in market rates and prices.  We are primarily exposed to equity price risk, which arises from exposure to securities that represent an ownership interest in our portfolio companies.  The value of our equity securities and our other investments are based on quoted market prices or our Board of Directors’ good faith determination of their fair value (which is based, in part, on quoted market prices).  Market prices of common equity securities, in general, are subject to fluctuations, which could cause the amount to be realized upon the sale or exercise of the instruments to differ significantly from the current reported value.  The fluctuations may result from perceived changes in the underlying economic characteristics of our portfolio companies, the relative price of alternative investments, general market conditions and supply and demand imbalances for a particular security.


ITEM 4:
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 240.13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of September 30, 2010.  Based on that review and evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s current disclosure controls and procedures, as designed and implemented, are effective in ensuring that information relating to the Company required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits 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, including insuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the CEO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b)  Changes in Internal Controls

There have been no changes in internal controls or in other factors that could materially affect these controls during the quarter ended September 30, 2010, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
