NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of accounting policies for Hitchin' Post Incorporated is
presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The
accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and
have
been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 23,
1996. The Company ceased all operating activities during the period from May
23,
1996 to June 5, 1999 and was considered dormant. Since June 5, 1999, the
Company
is in the development stage, and has not commenced planned principal
operations.
NATURE OF BUSINESS
The Company has no products or services as of December 31, 1999. The Company
was organized as a vehicle to seek merger or acquisition candidates. The
Company
intends to acquire interests in various business opportunities, which in the
opinion of management will provide a profit to the Company.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment
purposes.
PERVASIVENESS OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles required 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.
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
LOSS PER SHARE
The reconciliations of the numerators and denominators of the basic loss per
share computations are as follows:
Per-Share
INCOME SHARES AMOUNT
(Numerator) (Denominator)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999
Basic Loss per Share
Loss to common shareholders ............ $ (240) 1,000,000 $ --
========= ========= =========
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998
Basic Loss per Share
Loss to common shareholders ............ $ (100) 1,000,000 $ --
========= ========= =========
The effect of outstanding common stock equivalents would be anti-dilution for
December 31, 1999 and 1998 and are thus not considered.
NOTE 2 - INCOME TAXES
As of December 31, 1999, the Company had a net operating loss carry forward for
income tax reporting purposes of approximately $1,000 that may be offset
against
future taxable income through 2011. Current tax laws limit the amount of loss
available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change
in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable
income may be limited. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial
statements, because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance the
carry forwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of
the loss carry forwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
NOTE 3 - DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY
The Company has not begun principal operations and as is common with a
development stage company, the Company has had recurring losses during its
development stage.
NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS
As of December 31, 1999 all activities of the Company have been conducted by
corporate officers from either their homes or business offices. Currently,
there
are no outstanding debts owed by the company for the use of these facilities
and
there are no commitments for future use of the facilities.
NOTE 5 - STOCK SPLIT
On November 11, 1999 the Board of Directors authorized 1,000 to 1 stock split,
changed the authorized number of shares to 100,000,000 shares and the par value
to $.001 for the Company's common stock. As a result of the split, 999,000
shares were issued. All references in the accompanying financial statements to
the number of common shares and per-share amounts for 1999 and 1998 have been
restated to reflect the stock split.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
THIS ANALYSIS CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING COMMENTS WHICH ARE BASED ON CURRENT
INFORMATION. ACTUAL RESULTS IN THE FUTURE MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
The Company has no current operations, other than searching for a suitable
merger candidate. Therefore, a comparative analysis of this quarter to the
same quarter for the last fiscal year is not presented.
The Company was organized for the purpose of creating a corporate vehicle to
seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire an interest in
one or more business opportunities presented to it by persons or firms who or
which desire to seek perceived advantages of a publicly held corporation. At
this time, the Company has no plan, proposal, agreement, understanding or
arrangement to acquire or merge with any specific business or company, and the
Company has not identified any specific business or company for investigation
and evaluation. No member of Management or promoter of the Company has had any
material discussions with any other company with respect to any acquisition of
that company. The Company will not restrict its search to any specific
business,
industry or geographical location, and the Company may participate in a
business
venture of virtually any kind or nature. The discussion of the proposed
business
under this caption and throughout is purposefully general and is not meant
to be
restrictive of the Company's virtually unlimited discretion to search for and
enter into potential business opportunities.
The Company's plan of operations over the next 12 months includes the
seeking of acquisition or merger opportunities. During the next twelve
months, the Company plans to satisfy its cash requirements by additional
equity financing. There can be no assurance that the company will be
successful in raising additional equity financing, and, thus, be able to
satisfy its cash requirements, which primarily consist of legal and
accounting fees at the present time. If the company is not able to raise
equity capital, and it presently has no cash with which to satisfy any
future cash requirements. The company will need a minimum of $10,000 to
satisfy its cash requirements for the next 12 months. The company will not
be able to operate if it does not obtain equity financing. The Company has
no current material commitments. The Company depends upon capital to be
derived from future financing activities such as subsequent offerings of its
stock. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in
raising the capital it requires. The company does not anticipate any further
research and development of any products, nor does it expect to incur any
research and development costs. The company does not expect the purchase or
sale of plant or any significant equipment, and it does not anticipate any
change in the number of its employees. The Company has no current material
commitments. The Company has generated no revenue since its inception.
The Company is still considered to be a development stage company, with no
significant revenue, and is dependent upon the raising of capital through
placement of its common stock. There can be no assurance that the Company will
be successful in raising the capital it requires through the sale of its common
stock.
The Company intends to utilize the proceeds from this offering or to obtain
funds in one or more private placements to finance the operation of any
acquired business. Persons purchasing securities in these placements and
other shareholders will likely not have the opportunity to participate in
the decision relating to any acquisition. The Company's proposed business is
sometimes referred to as a "blind pool" because any investors will entrust
their investment monies to the Company's management before they have a
chance to analyze any ultimate use to which their money may be put.
Consequently, the Company's potential success is heavily dependent on the
Company's management, which will have virtually unlimited discretion in
searching for and entering into a business opportunity. None of the officers
and directors of the Company has had any experience in the proposed business
of the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company has had any
experience in the proposed business of the Company. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to raise any funds in private
placement. In any private placement, management may purchase shares on the
same terms as offered in the private placement.
Management anticipates that it will only participate in one potential business
venture. This lack of diversification should be considered a substantial
risk in
investing in the Company because it will not permit the Company to offset
potential losses from one venture against gains from another.
The Company may seek a business opportunity with a firm that only recently
commenced operations, or a developing company in need of additional funds for
expansion into new products or markets, or an established company seeking a
public vehicle. In some instances, a business opportunity may involve the
acquisition or merger with a corporation which does not need substantial
additional cash but which desires to establish a public trading market for its
common stock. The Company may purchase assets and establish wholly owned
subsidiaries in various business or purchase existing businesses as
subsidiaries. The Company anticipates that the selection of a business
opportunity in which to participate will be complex and extremely risky.
Because
of general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some
industries, and shortages of available capital, management believes that there
are numerous firms seeking the benefits of a publicly traded corporation. Such
perceived benefits of a publicly traded corporation may include facilitating or
improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be sought,
providing liquidity for the principals of a business, creating a means for
providing incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees,
providing liquidity (subject to restrictions of applicable statues) for all
shareholders, and other factors. Potentially available business opportunities
may occur in many different industries and at various stages of development,
all
of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such
business opportunities extremely difficult and complex. As is customary in the
industry, the Company may pay a finder's fee for locating an acquisition
prospect. If any such fee is paid, it will be approved by the Company's
Board of
Directors and will be in accordance with the industry standards. Such fees are
customarily between 1% and 5% of the size of the transaction, based upon a
sliding scale of the amount involved. Such fees are typically in the range
of 5%
on a $1,000,000 transaction ratably down to 1% in a $4,000,000 transaction.
Management had adopted a policy that such a finder's fee or real estate
brokerage fee could, in certain circumstances, be paid to any employee,
officer,
director or 5% shareholder of the Company, if such person plays a material role
in bringing a transaction to the Company. As part of any transaction, the
acquired company may require that Management or other stockholders of the
Company sell all or a portion of their shares to the acquired company, or to
the
principals of the acquired company. It is anticipated that the sales price of
such shares will be lower than the anticipated market price of the Company's
Common Stock at such a time. The Company's funds are not expected to be used
for purposes of any stock purchase from insiders. The Company shareholders
will not be provided the opportunity to approve or consent to such sale. The
opportunity to sell all or a portion of their shares in connection with an
acquisition may influence management's decision to enter into a specific
transaction. However, management believes that since the anticipated sales
price will potentially be less than market value, that the potential of a
stock sale will be a material factor in their decision to enter a specific
transaction.
The above description of potential sales of management stock is not based upon
any corporate bylaw, shareholder or board resolution, or contract or agreement.
No other payments of cash or property are expected to be received by Management
in connection with any acquisition. The Company has not formulated any policy
regarding the use of consultants or outside advisors, but does not anticipate
that it will use the services of such persons.
The Company has, and will continue to have, insufficient capital with which to
provide the owners of business opportunities with any significant cash or other
assets. However, management believes the Company will offer owners of business
opportunities the opportunity to acquire a controlling ownership interest in a
public company at substantially less cost than is required to conduct an
initial
public offering. The owners of the business opportunities will, however, incur
significant post-merger or acquisition registration costs in the event they
wish
to register a portion of their shares for subsequent sale. The Company will
also
incur significant legal and accounting costs in connection with the acquisition
of a business opportunity including the costs of preparing post-effective
amendments, Forms 8-K, agreements and related reports and documents. However,
the officers and directors of the Company have not conducted market research
and
are not aware of statistical data which would support the perceived benefits of
a merger or acquisition transaction for the owners of a business opportunity.
The Company does not intend to make any loans to any prospective merger or
acquisition candidates or unaffiliated third parties.
