PART I
ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
The unaudited financial statements for the six month period ended March 31,
2000 are attached hereto.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's
unaudited financial statements and notes thereto included herein. In connection
with, and because it desires to take advantage of, the "safe harbor" provisions
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company cautions
readers regarding certain forward looking statements in the following discussion
and elsewhere in this report and in any other statement made by, or on the
behalf of the Company, whether or not in future filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Forward looking statements are statements not based on
historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies,
financial results or other developments. Forward looking statements are
necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to
significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies,
many of which are beyond the Company's control and many of which, with respect
to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and
contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ
materially from those expressed in any forward looking statements made by, or on
behalf of, the Company. The Company disclaims any obligation to update forward
looking statements.
Plan of Operation
The Company intends to seek to acquire assets or shares of an entity
actively engaged in business, in exchange for its securities. As of the date of
this report, management of the Company has had preliminary discussions with
potential merger or acquisition candidates, but there is no definitive agreement
between the Company and any third party relevant thereto. In the event the
Company does enter into an agreement with such a third party, the Board of
Directors does intend to obtain certain assurances of value of the target entity
assets prior to consummating such a transaction, with further assurances that an
audited financial statement would be provided within sixty days after closing of
such a transaction. Closing documents relative thereto will include
representations that the value of the assets conveyed to or otherwise so
transferred will not materially differ from the representations included in such
closing documents, or the transaction will be voidable.

<PAGE>
The Company has no full time employees. The Company's President and
Secretary have agreed to allocate a portion of their time to the activities of
the Company, without compensation. These officers anticipate that the business
plan of the Company can be implemented by their devoting approximately 20 hours
per month to the business affairs of the Company and, consequently, conflicts of
interest may arise with respect to the limited time commitment by such officers.
Because the Company presently has nominal overhead or other material
financial obligations, management of the Company believes that the Company's
short term cash requirements can be satisfied by management injecting whatever
nominal amounts of cash into the Company to cover these incidental expenses.
There are no assurances whatsoever that any additional cash will be made
available to the Company through any means.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company presently has nominal cash or cash equivalents. Because the
Company is not required to pay rent or salaries to any of its officers or
directors, management believes that the Company has sufficient funds to continue
operations through the foreseeable future.
The Company's securities are currently not liquid. There are no market
makers in the Company's securities and it is not anticipated that any market
will develop in the Company's securities until such time as the Company
successfully implements its business plan of engaging in a business opportunity,
either by merger or acquisition of assets. The Company presently has no liquid
financial resources to offer such a candidate and must rely upon an exchange of
its stock to complete such a merger or acquisition.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE A: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed financial statements presented herein have been prepared by the
Company in accordance with the accounting policies in its audited financial
statements for the year ended September 30, 1999 as filed in its form 10-SB
filed November 12, 1999 and should be read in conjunction with the notes
thereto. The Company entered the development stage in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 7 on July 18, 1997 and is a "blank
check" company with the purpose to evaluate, structure and complete a merger
with, or acquisition of, a privately owned corporation.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments) which are necessary to provide a fair presentation of
operating results for the interim period presented have been made. The results
of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the year.
Interim financial data presented herein are unaudited.
NOTE B: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has issued an officer 1,000,000 shares of common stock in exchange
for services related to management and organization costs of $1,000. The officer
will provide administrative and marketing services as needed. The officer may,
from time to time, advance to the Company any additional funds that the Company
needs for costs in connection with searching for or completing an acquisition or
merger.
The Company does not maintain a checking account and all expenses incurred by
the Company are paid by an affiliate. For the three months ended March 31, 2000
the Company incurred legal expense of $104 and accounting expense of $250. For
the six months ended March 31, 2000 the Company incurred legal expense of
$10,104 and accounting expense of $2,231. The affiliate does not expect to be
repaid for the expenses it pays on behalf of the Company. Accordingly, as the
expenses are paid, they are classified as additional paid-in capital.
NOTE C: INCOME TAXES
The Company records its income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". The Company incurred
net operating losses during the periods shown on the condensed financial
statements resulting in a deferred tax asset, which was fully allowed for,
therefore the net benefit and expense result in $-0- income taxes.
