(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1999
NOTE A SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNT POLICIES
The Company was incorporated on March 24, 1998 under the laws of the state of
Nevada. The business purpose of the Company is to provide motivational and
self improvement services through the use of seminars, workshops, specialized
training courses and other aids.
The Company will adopt accounting policies and procedures based upon
the nature of future transactions.
NOTE B ORGANIZATION COSTS
Organization costs are capitalized and amortized over 60 months.
NOTE C OFFERING COSTS
The offering costs were incurred by the Company in connection with a public
stock offering were deducted from the pet proceeds of that offering.
NOTE D COMMON STOCK
The Company has completed two offerings of its common stock. The first
offering was a private placement offer of 200,000 shares in March of 1998 to
its founding stockholder. The second offering was completed in August of 1998
consisting of 201,800 shares at $.25 per share. The net proceeds of that
offering will be used to provide motivational and self improvement services
through the use of seminars, workshops, specialized training courses and other
aids.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
Plan of Operation
The Company's limited capital and its lack of significant operating
history, designate that the Company must be considered a development stage
company. Development stage companies are inherently more risky than
established companies because there is no earnings history and no assurance
that future revenues will develop. The Company's business purpose is that of
creating and presenting self-improvement and motivational seminars which
utilize the concept of (1) identifying individual characteristics through
"color coded" personality profiles, (2) enhancing an individual's self-image
once such personality traits are recognized, and/or (3)effectively utilizing
such "color coded" personality profiles in a wide range of situations which
include individual success in the work place, corporate hiring strategies and
employee relations, and more effective use of mass-media presentations such
as training videos or infomercials. The Company plans to introduce to the
established topics of self-improvement and motivation the concepts of image
and style enhancement by profiling personality characteristics through "color
coding". The Company's concept of integrating the "color coding" of
behavioral characteristics with self-improvement and motivational techniques
is hereinafter referred to as its "Color/Image Strategies". The "color coding"
system enables you to identify your behavioral profile, capitalize on your
behavioral strengths, increase your appreciation of different profiles and
anticipate and minimizes potential conflicts with others. The Company's
largest hurdle is, and will be, to convince its various target markets that
the use of its Color/Image Strategies will prove beneficial.
During the next twelve months the Company's plan of operation is to
introduce its Color/Image Strategies to various markets and hopefully achieve
a certain amount of market penetration in one or more of these markets by
achieving a client base. In order to achieve this, the Company plans to
narrow its target market, which was initially broad in scope, to three areas:
(1) Motivational Seminars, (2) Keynote Speaking Services, and (3) One-on-One
Image Consulting. The Company plans to continue to research these markets and
develop a complete market analysis. Although the Company had intended to
pursue the market of employee and management training in the Hotel/Casino
industry, at present time, the Company's efforts in this direction have found
this market to be highly saturated and too competitive for the Company's
resources. The Company will explore this market at a later time when
resources allow.
The Company held its first complete motivational seminar on May 15, 1999
in St. George, Utah. Revenues from this seminar were $1,860, with over 100
people in attendance. Management feels the quality of presentation and the
performance of Ms. Tischner, the Company's President, and that of other
special guest speakers was well taken, and the response of the people in
audience was positive. The Company attributes the attendance to promotion,
and a targeted audience of professional working women. The Company will
continue to pursue this market aggressively. Although the profit margin on
this seminar was minimal, revenues were sufficient to cover costs; the Company
intends to keep its seminar fees competitive to encourage attendance and
hopefully, as a result, a certain amount of name recognition will develop.
The Company's marketing approach will be to solicit interest in its color
system concept, and pursue the above stated markets. During the next twelve
months, its cash requirements will include its lease payments of $400 per
month on the Company's office space in St. George, Utah, compensation to
<PAGE> 9
Tami Tischner, the Company's President, of $1,000 per month, as well as
miscellaneous overhead. The Company has approximately $37,000 which it
believes will be sufficient to provide for the foregoing cash requirements for
day to day operations in the next twelve months, as well at provide for costs
of implementing its marketing strategies. Of those funds, the Company has
budgeted approximately $20,000 to cover the costs associated with establishing
its client base, advertising, purchase of supplies and equipment associated
with seminars, and hopefully some limited market penetration in the three
areas discussed above. There is no guarantee that the budgeted funds will be
sufficient to achieve these goals. The Company has no plans for any purchases
of significant equipment or property, nor are there plans for additional
employees until or unless warranted due to business needs. Management believes
that it will not achieve profitability until it is able to realize
approximately $5,000 in gross sales per month. The Company has no guarantee
that it will be able to achieve this goal in the next twelve months.
If the Company does not succeed in seeing limited revenues or, at
minimum, the potential of limited revenues, in the next twelve months, it may
be forced to discontinue operations unless it is able to raise sufficient
capital to continue pursuing its business plan. Management is not experienced
in developmental companies and may not have estimated its needs for
advertising and associated expenses in acquiring a client base accurately.
The Company may require additional funds and time to achieve these goals.
Even if the Company begins generating revenues, it could require additional
funding for expansion. It may be difficult for the Company to succeed in
securing additional financing. The Company may be able to attract some private
investors, or officers and directors may be willing to make additional cash
contributions, advancements or loans. Or, in the alternative, the Company
could attempt some form of debt or equity financing. However, there is no
guarantee that any of the foregoing methods of financing would be successful.
If the Company fails to achieve at least a portion of its business goals in
the next twelve months with the funds available to it, there is substantial
uncertainty as to whether it will continue operations.
ANY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS INCLUDED IN THIS FORM 10-QSB REFLECT
MANAGEMENT'S BEST JUDGMENT BASED ON FACTORS CURRENTLY KNOWN AND INVOLVE RISKS
AND UNCERTAINTIES. ACTUAL RESULTS MAY VARY MATERIALLY.

are year 2000 compliant. The Company is not dependent on computers other than

compliant. The Company has no relationship with any third parties which are
dependent on computers other than its bank. The Company's bank has reported
that it is Year 2000 compliant.
