PART I
ITEM 1
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Hardrock Mines, Inc., formerly "VHF Corporation, Inc.", (hereinafter "The
Company") was incorporated on June 14, 1982, pursuant to the Nevada Business
Corporation Act. Its original Articles of Incorporation provided for authorized
capital of twenty five thousand (25,000) shares of common stock with a par value
of one dollar ($1.00).
On November 20, 1999, the shareholders of the Company approved an amendment
to the Articles of Incorporation changing the authorized capital to one hundred
million (100,000,000) shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 (1 mil)
per share.
The amended Articles were filed with the State of Nevada on December 17,
1999. The Company was formed with the stated purpose of conducting any " . .
.lawful practice, business or activity." However, the contemplated purpose was
to engage in investment and business development operations related to mineral
research and exploration.
On or about July 02, 1994, the Board of Directors entered into early
negotiations with Liberty Consolidated Mines, Inc. who then held rights to the
Mt. Laurel Mine patented property plus 28 mining claims and one mill site claim
located in the Eddy Gulch area near Sawyers Bar, California. Following
significant research and expense, however, the Company's attempts to compete in
this field were abandoned upon discovery that various environmental regulations
and stipulations were cost prohibitive. All attempts to engage in business with
Liberty Consolidated Mines, Inc. ended on or about March 08, 1996, and the
Company fell into inactivity.
The Company never engaged in an active trade or business throughout the
period from inception through 1998. On or about July 29 1999, the directors
determined that the Company should become active and reinstated the Company with
the State of Nevada, and began seeking potential operating businesses and
business opportunities with the intent to acquire or merge with such businesses.
The Company is considered a development stage company and, due to its
status as a "shell" corporation, its principal business purpose is to locate and
consummate a merger or acquisition with a private entity. Because of the
Company's current status having no assets and no recent operating history, in
the event the Company does successfully acquire or merge with an operating
business opportunity, it is likely that the Company's present shareholders will
experience substantial dilution and there will be a probable change in control
of the Company.
The Company is voluntarily filing its registration statement on Form 10-SB
in order to make information concerning itself more readily available to the
public. Management believes that being a reporting company under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), could provide a
prospective merger or acquisition candidate with additional information
concerning the Company. In addition, management believes that this might make
the Company more attractive to an operating business opportunity as a potential
business combination candidate.
As a result of filing its registration statement, the Company is obligated
to file with the Commission certain interim and periodic reports including an
annual report containing audited financial statements. The Company intends to
continue to voluntarily file these periodic reports under the Exchange Act even
if its obligation to file such reports is suspended under applicable provisions
of the Exchange Act.
Any target acquisition or merger candidate of the Company will become
subject to the same reporting requirements as the Company upon consummation of
any such business combination. Thus, in the event that the Company successfully
completes an acquisition or merger with another operating business, the
resulting combined business must provide audited financial statements for at
least the two most recent fiscal years or, in the event that the combined
operating business has been in business less than two years, audited financial
statements will be required from the period of inception of the target
acquisition or merger candidate.
The Company's principal executive offices are located in care of 4700 South
900 East S41B, Salt Lake City, Utah, 84117.
Business of Issuer
The Company has no recent operating history and no representation is made,
nor is any intended, that the Company will, in fact, be able to carry on future
business activities successfully. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that
the Company will have the ability to acquire or merge with an operating
business, business opportunity or property that will be of material value to the
Company.
Management plans to investigate, research and, if justified, potentially
acquire or merge with one or more businesses or business opportunities. The
Company currently has no commitment or arrangement, written or oral, to
participate in any business opportunity and management cannot predict the nature
of any potential business opportunity it may ultimately consider. Management
will have broad discretion in its search for and negotiations with any potential
business or business opportunity.
Sources of Business Opportunities
The Company intends to use various sources in its search for potential
business opportunities including its officers and directors, consultants,
special advisors, securities broker-dealers, venture capitalists, members of the
financial community and others who may present management with unsolicited
proposals.
Because of the Company's lack of capital, it may not be able to retain a
fee based professional firm specializing in business acquisitions and
reorganizations. Rather, the Company will most likely have to rely on outside
sources, not otherwise associated with the Company, that will accept their
compensation only after the Company has finalized a successful acquisition or
merger.
To date, the Company has not engaged nor any prospective consultants for
these purposes. The Company does not intend to restrict its search to any
specific entered into any definitive agreements nor understandings regarding
retention of any consultant to assist the Company in its search for business
opportunities, nor is management presently in a position to actively seek or
retain kind of industry or business.
The Company may investigate and ultimately acquire a venture that is in its
preliminary or development stage, is already in operation, or in various stages
of its corporate existence and development. Management cannot predict at this
time the status or nature of any venture in which the Company may participate. A
potential venture might need additional capital or merely desire to have its
shares publicly traded.
The most likely scenario for a possible business arrangement would involve
the acquisition of, or merger with, an operating business that does not need
additional capital, but which merely desires to establish a public trading
market for its shares. Management believes that the Company could provide a
potential public vehicle for a private entity interested in becoming a publicly
held corporation without the time and expense typically associated with an
initial public offering.
Evaluation
Once the Company has identified a particular entity as a potential
acquisition or merger candidate, management will seek to determine whether
acquisition or merger is warranted or whether further investigation is
necessary. Such determination will generally be based on management's knowledge
and experience, or with the assistance of outside advisors and consultants
evaluating the preliminary information available to them.
Management may elect to engage outside independent consultants to perform
preliminary analysis of potential business opportunities. However, because of
the Company's lack of capital it may not have the necessary funds for a complete
and exhaustive investigation of any particular opportunity. In evaluating such
potential business opportunities, the Company will consider, to the extent
relevant to the specific opportunity, several factors including potential
benefits to the Company and its shareholders; working capital, financial
requirements and availability of additional financing; history of operation, if
any; nature of present and expected competition; quality and experience of
management; need for further research, development or exploration; potential for
growth and expansion; potential for profits; and other factors deemed relevant
to the specific opportunity.
Because the Company has not located or identified any specific business
opportunity as of the date hereof, there are certain unidentified risks that
cannot be adequately expressed prior to the identification of a specific
business opportunity. There can be no assurance following consummation of any
acquisition or merger that the business venture will develop into a going
concern or, if the business is already operating, that it will continue to
operate successfully. Many of the potential business opportunities available to
the Company may involve new and untested products, processes or market
strategies which may not ultimately prove successful.
Form of Potential Acquisition or Merger
Presently, the Company cannot predict the manner in which it might
participate in a prospective business opportunity. Each separate potential
opportunity will be reviewed and, upon the basis of that review, a suitable
legal structure or method of participation will be chosen. The particular manner
in which the Company participates in a specific business opportunity will depend
upon the nature of that opportunity, the respective needs and desires of the
Company and management of the opportunity, and the relative negotiating strength
of the parties involved.
Actual participation in a business venture may take the form of an asset
purchase, lease, joint venture, license, partnership, stock purchase,
reorganization, merger or consolidation. The Company may act directly or
indirectly through an interest in a partnership, corporation, or other form of
organization, however, the Company does not intend to participate in
opportunities through the purchase of minority stock positions.
Because of the Company's current status and recent inactive status, and its
concomitant lack of assets or relevant operating history, it is likely that any
potential merger or acquisition with another operating business will require
substantial dilution of the Company's existing shareholders. There will probably
be a change in control of the Company, with the incoming owners of the targeted
merger or acquisition candidate taking over control of the Company. Management
has not established any guidelines as to the amount of control it will offer to
prospective business opportunity candidates, since this issue will depend to a
large degree on the economic strength and desirability of each candidate, and
correspondent ending relative bargaining power of the parties. However,
management will endeavor to negotiate the best possible terms for the benefit of
the Company's shareholders as the case arises.
Management does not have any plans to borrow funds to compensate any
persons, consultants, promoters, or affiliates in conjunction with its efforts
to find and acquire or merge with another business opportunity. Management does
not have any plans to borrow funds to pay compensation to any prospective
business opportunity, or shareholders, management, creditors, or other potential
parties to the acquisition or merger. In either case, it is unlikely that the
Company would be able to borrow significant funds for such purposes from any
conventional lending sources. In all probability, a public sale of the Company's
securities would also be unfeasible, and management does not contemplate any
form of new public offering at this time.
In the event that the Company does need to raise capital, it would most
likely have to rely on the private sale of its securities. Such a private sale
would to available exemptions, if any applies. However, no private sales are
contemplated by the Company's management at this time. If a private sale of the
Company's securities is deemed appropriate in the future, management will
endeavor to acquire funds on the best terms available to the Company. However,
there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain funding when
and if needed, or that such funding, if available, can be obtained on terms
reasonable or acceptable to the Company. Although not presently anticipated by
management, there is a remote possibility that the Company might sell its
securities to its management or affiliates.
In the event of a successful acquisition or merger, a finder's fee, in the
form of cash or securities of the Company, may be paid to persons instrumental
in facilitating the transaction. The Company has not established any criteria or
limits for the determination of a finder's fee, although most likely an
appropriate finder's fee will be negotiated between the parties, including the
potential business opportunity candidate, based upon economic considerations and
reasonable value as estimated and mutually agreed at that time. A finder's fee
would only be payable upon completion of the proposed acquisition or merger in
the normal case, and management does not contemplate any other arrangement at
this time. Management has not actively undertaken a search for, nor retention
of, any finder's fee arrangement with any person.
It is possible that a potential merger or acquisition candidate would have
its own finder's fee arrangement, or other similar business brokerage or
investment banking arrangement, whereupon the terms may be governed by a
pre-existing contract; in such case, the Company may be limited in its ability
to affect the terms of compensation, but most likely the terms would be
disclosed and subject to approval pursuant to submission of the proposed
transaction to a vote of the Company's shareholders.
Management cannot predict any other terms of a finder's fee arrangement at
this time. It would be unlikely that a finder's fee payable to an affiliate of
the Company would be proposed because of the potential conflict of interest
issues. If such a fee arrangement was proposed, independent management and
directors would negotiate the best terms available to the Company so as not to
compromise the fiduciary duties of the affiliate in the proposed transaction,
and the Company would require that the proposed arrangement would be submitted
to the shareholders for prior ratification in an appropriate manner.
Management does not contemplate that the Company would acquire or merge
with a business entity in which any affiliates of the Company have an interest.
Any such related party transaction, however remote, would be submitted for
approval by an independent quorum of the Board of Directors and the proposed
transaction would be submitted to the shareholders for prior ratification in an
appropriate manner. None of the Company's managers, directors, or other
affiliated parties have had any contact, discussions, or other understandings
regarding any particular business opportunity at this time, regardless of any
potential conflict of interest issues. Accordingly, the potential conflict of
interest is merely a remote theoretical possibility at this time.
Rights of Shareholders
It is presently anticipated by management that prior to consummating a
possible acquisition or merger, the Company will seek to have the transaction
ratified by shareholders in the appropriate manner. Most likely, this would
require a general or special shareholder's meeting called for such purpose,
wherein all shareholder's would be entitled to vote in person or by proxy. In
the notice of such a shareholder's meeting and proxy statement, the Company will
provide shareholders complete disclosure documentation concerning a potential
acquisition of merger candidate, including financial information about the
target and all material terms of the acquisition or merger transaction.
Competition
Because the Company has not identified any potential acquisition or merger
candidate, it is unable to evaluate the type and extent of its likely
competition. The Company is aware that there are several other public companies
with only nominal assets that are also searching for operating businesses and
other business opportunities as potential acquisition or merger candidates. The
Company will be in direct competition with these other public companies in its
search for business opportunities and, due to the Company's lack of funds, it
may be difficult to successfully compete with these other companies.
As of the date hereof, the Company does not have any employees and has no
plans for retaining employees until such time as the Company's business warrants
the expense, or until the Company successfully acquires or merges with an
operating business. The Company may find it necessary to periodically hire
part-time clerical help on an as-needed basis.
Facilities
The Company is currently using as its principal place of business the
residence of its President located in Salt Lake City, Utah. Although the Company
has no written agreement and pays no rent for the use of this facility, it is
contemplated that at such future time as an acquisition or merger transaction
may be completed, the Company will secure commercial office space from which it
will conduct its business. Until such an acquisition or merger, the Company
lacks any basis for determining the kinds of office space or other facilities
necessary for its future business. The Company has no current plans to secure
such commercial office space. It is also possible that a merger or acquisition
candidate would have adequate existing facilities upon completion of such a
transaction, and the Company's principal offices may be transferred to such
existing facilities.
Industry Segments
No information is presented regarding industry segments. The Company is
presently a development stage company seeking a potential acquisition of or
merger with a yet to be identified business opportunity. Reference is made to
the statements of income included herein in response to Part F/S of this Form
10-SB, for a report of the Company's operating history for the past two fiscal
years.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
The Company is considered a development stage company with no assets or
capital and with no operations or income since inception. The costs and expenses
associated with the preparation and filing of this registration statement and
other operations of the Company have been paid for by a shareholder and officer
of the Company, specifically Ryan Christison ,the President and a Director of
the Company. It is anticipated that the Company will require only nominal
capital to maintain the corporate viability of the Company and necessary funds
will most likely be provided by the Company's existing shareholders or its
officers and directors in the immediate future. However, unless the Company is
able to facilitate an acquisition of or merger with an operating business or is
able to obtain significant outside financing, there is substantial doubt about
its ability to continue as a viable corporation.
In the opinion of management, inflation has not and will not have a
material effect on the operations of the Company until such time as the Company
successfully completes an acquisition or merger. At that time, management will
evaluate the possible effects of inflation on the Company as it relates to its
business and operations following a successful acquisition or merger.
Plan of Operation
During the next twelve months, the Company will actively seek out and
investigate possible business opportunities with the intent to acquire or merge
with one or more business ventures. In its search for business opportunities,
management will follow the procedures outlined in Item I above. Because the
Company lacks finds, it may be necessary for the officers and directors to
either advance funds to the Company or to accrue expenses until such time as a
successful business consolidation can be made.
Management intends to hold expenses to a minimum and to obtain services on
a contingency basis when possible. Further, the Company's directors will defer
any compensation until such time as an acquisition or merger can be accomplished
and will strive to have the business opportunity provide their remuneration.
However, if the Company engages outside advisors or consultants in its search
for business opportunities, it may be necessary for the Company to attempt to
raise additional funds.
As of the date hereof, the Company has not made any arrangements or
definitive agreements to use outside advisors or consultants or to raise any
capital. In the event the Company does need to raise capital most likely the
only method available to the Company would be the private sale of its
securities. Because of the nature of the Company as a development stage company,
it is unlikely that it could make a public sale of securities or be able to
borrow any significant sum, from either a commercial or private lender. There
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional funding
when and if needed, or that such funding, if available, can be obtained on terms
acceptable to the Company.
The Company does not intend to use any employees, with the possible
exception of part-time clerical assistance on an as-needed basis. Outside
advisors or consultants will be used only if they can be obtained for minimal
cost or on a deferred payment basis. Management is confident that it will be
able to operate in this manner and to continue its search for business
opportunities during the next twelve months.

10-SB due to the fact that the Company does not own or control any material

PART II
Item 1. Market Price of and Dividends on the Registrant's Common Equity
and Other Shareholder Matters
No shares of the Company's common stock have previously been registered
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") or any state
securities agency or authority. The Company has made an application to the NASD
for the Company's shares to be quoted on the National Quotation Bureau's Pink
Sheets ("Pink Sheets"). The Company's application to the NASD consists of
current corporate information, financial statements and other documents as
required by Rule 15c2-11 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Inclusion on the "Pink Sheets" permits price quotations for the Company's shares
to be published by such service.
The Company's common shares are not currently quoted. The Company is not
aware of any established trading market for its common stock nor is there any
record of any reported trades in the public market in recent years. The
Company's common stock has never traded in a public market.
If and when the Company's common stock is traded in the Pink Sheet, most
likely the shares will be subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule
15g-9 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the 'Exchange Act"),
commonly referred to as the "penny stock" rule. Section 15(g) sets forth certain
requirements for transactions in penny stocks and Rule 15g9(d)(1) incorporates
the definition of penny stock as that used in Rule 3a5l-l of the Exchange Act.
The Commission generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that
has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.
Rule 3a5l-l provides that any equity security is considered to be a penny stock
unless that security is: registered and traded on a national securities exchange
meeting specified criteria set by the Commission; authorized for quotation on
The NASDAQ Stock Market; issued by a registered investment company; excluded
from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share) or the
issuer's net tangible assets; or exempted from the definition by the Commission.
If the Company's shares are deemed to be a penny stock, trading in the
shares will be subject to additional sales practice requirements on
broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers
and accredited investors, generally persons with assets in excess of $1,000,000
or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouse. For
transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special
suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and must have
received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the
purchase.
Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt,
the rules require the delivery, prior to the first transaction, of a risk
disclosure document relating to the penny stock market. A broker-dealer also
must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the
registered representative, and current quotations for the securities.
Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price
information for the penny stocks held in the account and information on the
limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, these rules may restrict the
ability of broker dealers to trade and/or maintain a market in the Company's
common stock and may affect the ability of shareholders to sell their shares.
As of the date hereof, there were Twenty Nine (29) holders of record of the
Company's common stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has issued and
outstanding 515,000 shares of common stock. Of this total, all shares were
issued in transactions more than two years ago. (A forward 25-for-1 stock split
occurred on November 11, 1999, increasing the number of shares held by existing
shareholders, which is not deemed a "new" issuance.) Thus, all shares were
issued more than two years ago and may be sold or otherwise transferred without
restriction pursuant to the terms of Rule 144 ("Rule 144") of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), unless held by an affiliate or controlling
shareholder of the Company.
Dividend Policy
The Company has not declared or paid cash dividends or made distributions
in the past, and the Company does not anticipate that it will pay cash dividends
or make distributions in the foreseeable future. The Company currently intends
to retain and reinvest future earnings, if any, to finance its operations.
Item 2. Legal Proceedings
The Company is currently not a party to any material pending legal
proceedings and no such action by, or to the best of its knowledge, against the
Company has been threatened.
Item 3. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants
Item 3 is not applicable to this Form 10-SB.
Item 4. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
All other issues of securities by the Company were made more than three
years ago.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The Company's Articles and By-Laws provide for indemnification for
liability, including expenses incurred in connection with a claim of liability
arising from having been an officer or director of the Company for any action
alleged to have been taken or omitted by any such person acting as an officer or
director, not involving gross negligence or willful misconduct by such person.
Section 78.751 of the Nevada General Corporation Law allows the Company to
indemnify any person who was or is threatened to made party to any threatened,
pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, by reason of the fact that he
or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or
was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, or
agent of any corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.
The Company's By-Laws provide that such a person shall be indemnified and held
harmless to the fullest extent provided by Nevada law.
Transfer Agent
The Company has designated Interwest Transfer Company, Inc., 1981 E. Murray
Holliday Road, Holladay, Utah 84117, (801) 272-9294 its transfer agent.

Board of Directors
Hardrock Mines, Inc.
Salt Lake City, Utah
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Hardrock Mines, Inc. (a
development stage company) at December 31, 1999, and December 31, 1998, and the
related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the
years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, and the period June 14, 1982
(date of inception) to December 31, 1999. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management as well as evaluating the overall balance sheet presentation.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Hardrock Mines, Inc. at
December 31, 1999, and December 31, 1998, and the results of operations, and
cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1999,1998, and 1997 and the period
June 14, 1982 (date of inception) to December 31, 1999, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring
losses from operations from its inception and does not have the necessary
working capital for any future planned activity, which raises substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard
to these matters are described in Note 4. These financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June
14, 1982 with the name of "VHF Corporation" with authorized common stock of
25,000 shares at $1.00 par value. On November 11, 1999 the authorized capital
stock was increased to 1000,000,000 shares with a par value of $0.001 in
connection with a name change to "Hardrock Mines, Inc."
On November 11, 1999 the Company completed a forward common stock split of
25 shares for each outstanding share. This report has been prepared showing
after stock split shares with a par value of $.001 from inception.
The Company is in the development stage [and] has been engaged in the
activity of seeking developmental mining properties and was inactive after 1995.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Methods
- -------------------
The Company recognizes income and expenses based on the accrual method of
accounting.
Dividend Policy
- ----------------
The Company has not adopted a policy regarding payment of dividends.
Income Taxes
- -------------
At December 31, 1999, the Company had a net operating loss carry forward of
$29,000. The tax benefit from the loss carry forward has been fully offset by a
valuation reserve because the use of the future tax benefit is undeterminable
since the Company has no operations. The net operating loss will expire starting
in 2011 through 2020.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
- ----------------------------
Earnings (loss) per share amounts are computed based on the weighted
average number of shares actually outstanding, after the stock split, in
accordance with FASB No. 128.
Financial Instruments
- ----------------------
The carrying amounts of financial instruments are considered by management
to be their estimated fair values.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Estimates and Assumptions
- ---------------------------
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and
assumptions affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and
expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were assumed in
preparing these financial statements.
3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The statement of changes in stockholder's equity shows 515,000 shares of
common stock outstanding of which 160,000 shares were acquired by related
parties.
4. GOING CONCERN
The Company will need additional working capital to be successful in its
planned operations.
Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining
additional working capital and the management of the Company has developed a
strategy, which it believes will accomplish this objective through equity
funding, and long term financing, which will enable the Company to operate for
the coming year.
There can be no assurance that the Company can be successful in this
effort.

Hardrock Mines, Inc.
Salt Lake City, Utah
We have compiled the accompanying balance sheet of Hardrock Mines, Inc. (a
development stage company) at December 31, 1999, and December 31, 1998 and the
related statements of operations, stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the
years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997 and the period June 14, 1982 (date
of inception) to December 31, 1999, in accordance with Statements on Standards
for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants. /s/ Andersen Andersen and Strong L.L.C.
A compilation is limited to presenting in the form of financial statements
information that is the representation of management. We have not audited or
reviewed the accompanying financial statements and, accordingly, do not express
an opinion or any other form of assurance on them.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. The Company will need additional
working capital for its planned activity, which raises substantial doubt about
its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to
these matters are described in Note 4. These financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
