NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Business and Operations

Overview

Los Angeles Syndicate of Technology, Inc. (“last.vc”) is a technology incubator that creates, builds, and invests in web and mobile technology companies. We develop businesses in digital media, consumer internet, and social networking, and own six companies at different stages of development.

We supply our companies with the capital to cultivate their initial product, and provide hands-on support services to reduce startup costs and accelerate time to market. Our services include product development and design, corporate formation and structure, and exposure to additional financing. last.vc also provides office space, financial and accounting resources, marketing and branding, and legal guidance. By offering these services, we enable our network of entrepreneurs to focus on developing their products. We believe that this structure offers the most value for entrepreneurs and the highest return potential to investors, and results in efficiencies in how companies are built and brought to market.

Our mission is to foster technology innovation in Los Angeles by partnering with the most talented entrepreneurs in southern California and providing them with the capital and tools to bring their ideas to market. Los Angeles has no shortage of entrepreneurs or innovation, but currently lacks the infrastructure, capital and expertise to develop these businesses as efficiently as other markets. last.vc is working to change this.

last.vc operates as 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. From incorporation through December 31, 2010, the Company was taxed as a corporation under Subchapter C of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, (the “Code”). Effective January 1, 2011, the Company has elected to be treated for tax purposes as a regulated investment company, or RIC, under the Code (see Note 7).

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.OB), 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.

On February 9, 2011 the Company’s Board of Directors were notified by Vineet Jindal that he was resigning as Chief Investment Officer of last.vc effective immediately in order to assume the role of Chief Executive Officer of Stockr, Inc., a majority owned portfolio company of last.vc.

On February 12, 2011 the Company’s Board of Directors were notified by Management that the Company would exercise its repurchase option to purchase 2,700,000 shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to its Share Purchase Agreement and Employment Agreement with Mr. Jindal. Per the terms of the agreement, last.vc repurchased 600,000 shares at Mr. Jindal’s cost value and then cancelled those shares. The Company transferred its right to repurchase the remaining 2,100,000 to employees of last.vc, who repurchased these shares at Mr. Jindal’s original cost value.

The Company currently operates as an internally managed closed-end non-diversified Business Development Company and is traded 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, 2010, 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

The Company incurred a loss from operations of $14,792 and $115,923 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. The Company’s only sources of cash flow have been from the sale of the Company’s restricted common stock, management fees from portfolio companies, and loans from the CEO.

The Company is in process of raising funds through private placements of common stock to meet its operating expense requirements and to meet the initial funding requirements of its controlled portfolio companies. If the Company is unable to continue to raise sufficient capital to meet its operating needs, doubt exists regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

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

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

As noted above, when the Company filed its election to be regulated pursuant to the 1940 Act, it resulted in a change in accounting principle. Accordingly, the financial statements have been restated as if the Company was operating as a BDC for all periods presented. Pursuant to Regulation S-X, Rule 6, the Company will operate on a non-consolidated basis.

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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. None of the Company’s cash is restricted.

Net Increase (Decrease) in Net Assets (Liabilities) from Operations Per Share (Earnings (Loss) per Share)

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, 2011 and 2010, 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.

Valuation of Investments (as an Investment Company)

As a BDC, we are 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 market transactions involving our portfolio companies and the fair value determined in good faith by our BOD for the valuation of our portfolio companies. Prior to this conversion, only marketable debt and equity securities and certain derivative securities were required to be carried at market value.

Portfolio assets for which market prices are available are valued at those prices. Securities that are traded in the over-the-counter market or on a stock exchange generally will be valued at the prevailing bid price on the valuation date. However, some of the Company’s current investments were acquired in privately negotiated transactions and may have no readily determinable market values. These securities are carried at fair value as determined by the BOD and outside professionals as necessary under the Company’s valuation policy. Currently, the valuation policy provides for management’s review of the management team, financial conditions, and products and services of the portfolio company. In situations that warrant such an evaluation, an independent business valuation may be obtained.

Income Taxes

The Company intends to operate so as to qualify to be taxed as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code and, as such, will not be subject to federal income tax on the portion of taxable income and gains distributed to stockholders (See Note 7).

As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties relating to any tax obligations. The Company currently has no federal or state examinations in progress, nor has it had any federal or state tax examinations since its inception. The last three years of the Company's tax returns are subject to federal and state tax examination.

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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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.

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, 2011 and December 31, 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, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were 0 and 434 options outstanding from the 1997 Plan, respectively. These options expired in September 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There are several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") which are not yet effective. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. At September 30, 2011, none of these pronouncements is expected to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

NOTE 3: INVESTMENTS AND VALUATION

The Company’s investment securities are summarized as follows at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the valuation of which are all based on Level 3 inputs:

	2011		2010

Cost	$	367,177	$	245,352
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation)		11,273,974		8,465,196
Fair market value	$	11,641,151	$	8,710,548

We follow Accounting Standards Codification (‘‘ASC’’) Topic 820 — Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“Topic 820”) for measuring the fair value of portfolio investments. Fair value is the price that would be received in the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters, or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation models involve a degree of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments’ complexity.

Our fair value analysis includes an analysis of recent capital transactions with unrelated investors, the future cash flow projections of our investments, value of intellectual property and other proprietary assets. Financial investments recorded at fair value in the Company’s financial statements are categorized for disclosure purposes based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. The valuation hierarchical levels are based upon the transparency of the inputs to the valuation of the investment as of the measurement date. Topic 820 provides the following description of the three levels:

Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments at the measurement date.

Level 2: Inputs include quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active markets and inputs that are observable for the financial instruments, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs also include inputs, other than quoted prices, that are observable for the asset or liability being valued, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Inputs include unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The inputs into the determination of fair value are based upon the best information available and require management judgment.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and we consider factors specific to the investment.

The following section describes the types of inputs we use for level 3 within the fair value hierarchy in which the investment is categorized, and the valuation techniques we use to measure the fair value of our investments.

Level 3 inputs we use include the terms of recent capital transactions with unrelated investors, financial statement metrics of comparable companies, nonfinancial-statement metrics of comparable companies, projected cash flows of our investments, applicable discount rates, the value of developed intellectual property, the value of the domain name and other proprietary assets.

At September 30, 2011, all of our portfolio investments are valued based on level 3 inputs.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) provides guidance on the determination of fair value. Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820 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. Topic 820 notes that in some cases the use of multiple valuation techniques will be appropriate. Under such circumstances, Topic 820 recommends that the results of the various techniques be evaluated and weighted appropriately. For investments where multiple valuation techniques are used to measure fair value, management evaluates and weights the results, considering the reasonableness of the range indicated by those results.

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 our portfolio companies, or 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 unrelated 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 recent capital transactions with unrelated investors.

·	Asset Approach. The asset 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.

As an investment company, the Company will invest in illiquid securities including equity securities of private companies. The structure of each equity security is specifically negotiated to enable the Company to protect its investment and maximize its returns. The Company’s investments are generally subject to some restrictions on resale and generally have no established trading market.

We expect that the majority of our investments will continue to be recorded at fair value based on Level 2 and Level 3 inputs and values determined in good faith by our Board of Directors utilizing the input of our management and advisory board. With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily available, we undertake a disciplined valuation process on a quarterly basis, which is detailed below.

Management considers which fair value techniques are applicable based on the type of investment being valued. If applying the asset approach, our management team aggregates the costs spent to develop the business and estimates the current cost to replicate such technology by another party. Under the market approach, our management team considers all transactions involving the portfolio company, as well as examines the current valuation levels of comparable investments. When applying the income approach, our management team develops cash flow forecasts and utilizes various discounted cash flow valuation techniques to approximate fair value. Management evaluates and weights the resulting valuations, considering the reasonableness of the range indicated by those results.

2.	Preliminary valuation conclusions are discussed with the BOD and subsequently discussed with members of our advisory board.

3.	The BOD considers the proposed valuations and determines the value of our portfolio companies in good faith based on the input of our management team 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.

At September 30, 2011, 100% of our assets represented investments in portfolio companies recorded at fair value, as determined by our BOD. Due to the inherent uncertainty in determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our investments determined in good faith by our Board of Directors may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments, and the differences could be material. Additionally, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the valuations currently assigned.

NOTE 4: COMPOSITION OF NET ASSETS (STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY)

Common Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 with each share having one voting right. There are 11,741,899 and 11,889,363 common shares outstanding at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company sold 277,500 shares of its common stock for $277,500 in cash, issued 175,000 shares of its common stock for $175,000 due to its CEO, rescinded the acquisition of one investment valued at $65,000 for which 3,250,000 shares of its common stock had been issued, cancelled 600,000 of these shares and obtained stock subscriptions for the remaining 2,650,000 shares of common stock.

Effective August 31, 2010, the Company completed a 50:1 reverse stock split. All share transactions disclosed in the financial statements have been restated to give effect to the change.

NOTE 5: 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, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company owed its CEO $105,294 and $311,862, respectively, for loans, accrued compensation and expense reimbursements, which is included in due to related parties.

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

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.

NOTE 6: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

General

From time-to-time, some of the Company’s portfolio companies may receive correspondence or other notices of alleged breach of license agreement or other contract. Some of these notifications provide a period of time in which to cure an alleged breach or default. The failure of the Company’s portfolio companies to cure an alleged breach or default may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

Leases

The Company currently maintains its corporate office at 3651 Lindell Road, Suite D #146, Las Vegas, Nevada 89103 on a month-to-month basis. In addition, we have maintained an operations office on a month-to-month basis in Santa Monica, California. In March 2010, the Company leased a second operations office at a rate of $2,300 per month to accommodate our expanding operations. The lease commenced April 1, 2010 for a period of two years. Rent expense amounted to $6,580 and $6,857 during the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

NOTE 7: INCOME TAXES

To qualify as a RIC, we are required to meet certain income and asset diversification tests. In addition, in order to be eligible for pass-through tax treatment as a RIC, we must distribute to our stockholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of our “investment company taxable income” as defined by the Code.

Taxable income includes the Company’s taxable interest, dividend and fee income, as well as taxable net capital gains. Taxable income generally differs from net income for financial reporting purposes due to temporary and permanent differences in the recognition of income and expenses, and generally excludes net unrealized appreciation or depreciation, as gains or losses are not included in taxable income until they are realized.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded two income tax adjustments to reflect the reversal of a deferred tax liability associated with unrealized gains generated by increases in value of our portfolio companies in periods prior to our RIC election as these taxes are no longer payable.

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, 2010.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010

Revenues - The Company received $25,000 in management fee revenues from its controlled portfolio companies in 2011 and had no revenues in 2010. As the Company's group of portfolio companies expands, the Company expects its management fee income from its portfolio companies will continue to increase.

The following table details expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2011:

Expenses:	2011		2010
Officer and employee compensation		11,720		15,000
Professional fees		9,875		3,743
Director fees		750		-
Website expense		169		-
Rent		6,580		6,857
Office supplies and expenses		3,053		-
Other general and administrative expense		7,645		3,635
Total expenses		39,792		29,235

Officer and employee compensation declined from $15,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2010 to $11,720 in the three months ended September 30, 2011. Office supplies and expenses and other general and administrative expense expanded over the amount in 2010, due primarily to the expanded office and facilities for the portfolio companies. Professional fees increased in the third quarter of 2011 when compared with 2010, primarily resulting from increased recruiting and legal costs, and an increase in accounting and audit services resulting from the amendments to previously-filed financial statements resulting from our election to be treated as an RIC (see Note 7 for detail on tax election).

The following table details the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) for the three months ended September 30, 2011:

Net realized and unrealized gains (losses):	2011			2010
Net realized loss on investments, net of income taxes of none		-			-
Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, net of deferred tax of none		(54,023	)		2,923,232
Net realized and unrealized gains (losses)		(54,023	)		2,923,232

Unrealized appreciation of investments is discussed in Note 3.

Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010

Revenues - The Company had $82,500 in management fee revenues from its controlled portfolio companies in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and had no revenues for the comparable period of 2010. As the Company's group of portfolio companies expands, the Company expects its management fee income from its portfolio companies will continue to increase.

The following table details expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

Expenses:	2011		2010
Officer and employee compensation		80,120		45,000
Professional fees		36,123		29,171
Director fees		3,000		2,000
Website expense		1,185		3,623
Rent		20,513		22,249
Office supplies and expenses		7,270		-
Other general and administrative expense		23,212		7,532
Total expenses		171,423		109,575

Officer and employee compensation increased from $45,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $80,120 in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, reflecting additions to our management team. Office supplies and expense and other general and administrative expense expanded over the amount in 2010, due primarily to the expanded office and facilities for the portfolio companies. Professional fees increased from $29,171 to $36,123, primarily resulting from increased recruiting and legal costs, and an increase in accounting and audit services resulting from the amendments to previously-filed financial statements resulting from our election to be treated as an RIC (see Note 7 for detail on tax election).

The following table details the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

Net realized and unrealized gains (losses):	2011			2010
Net realized loss on investments, net of income taxes of none		(393	)		-
Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, net of deferred tax of none		2,808,778			2,923,108
Net realized and unrealized gains (losses)		2,808,385			2,923,108

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we wrote our non-controlled/non-Affiliate investments down to zero as we no longer believed any value could be extracted from these assets. This resulted in a charge to income of $393.

Additionally, in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded two income tax adjustments to reflect the reversal of a deferred tax liability associated with unrealized gains generated by increases in value of our portfolio companies in periods prior to our RIC election. We recorded an adjustment of ($27,000) to earnings from continuing operations, and an adjustment of $2,612,000 to the increase in net assets from operations. See Note 7 for more detail surrounding our election to qualify as an RIC.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company incurred a loss from operations of $115,923 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

The Company’s only sources of cash flow have been from the sale of the Company’s restricted common stock, management fees from its portfolio companies and loans from the CEO.

The Company is in process of raising funds through private placements of common stock to meet its operating expense requirements and to meet the initial funding requirements of its controlled portfolio companies. If the Company is unable to continue to raise sufficient capital to meet its operating needs, doubt exists about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

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 $11,690,705 and from this, are subtracted liabilities and debts of $116,623. There are no shares of preferred stock outstanding but the rights of preferred stockholders would be included if there were. The resulting NAV at September 30, 2011 is $11,574,082. The Net Asset Value per Share (“NAV/S”) is calculated by dividing the NAV by the number of common shares outstanding (11,741,899). The NAV/S is $0.99.

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 have 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, 2011. 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 and CFO, 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, 2011, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
