NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1997 (Unaudited)
(1) Condensed Financial Statements
The financial statements included herein have been prepared by Aspen Capital,
Inc. without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted as
allowed by such rules and regulations, and Aspen Capital, Inc. believes that
the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with
the December 31, 1996 audited financial statements and the accompanying notes
thereto. While management believes the procedures followed in preparing these
financial statements are reasonable, the accuracy of the amounts are in some
respect's dependent upon the facts that will exist, and procedures that will
be accomplished by Aspen Capital, Inc. later in the year.
The management of Aspen Capital, Inc. believes that the accompanying unaudited
condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (including normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the operations and cash
flows for the periods presented.
ITEM 2
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Aspen Capital, Inc. (the "Company") was organized as a Colorado corporation on
June 14, 1996, in order to evaluate, structure and complete a merger with, or
acquisition of, prospects consisting of private companies, partnerships of
sole proprietorships. The Company may seek to acquire a controlling interest
in such entities in contemplation of later completing an acquisition. The
Company is not limited to any operation or geographic area in seeking out
opportunities. Management has not identified any particular business or
industry within which the Company will seek an acquisition or merger. The
Company has not conducted, nor have others made available to it, market
research supporting the viability of the Company's proposed operations.
The Company generated no revenues during the quarter ended September 30, 1997,
and management does not anticipate any revenues until following the conclusion
of a merger or acquisition, if any, as contemplated by the Company's business
plan.
The Company's capital is limited. The Company anticipates operational costs
will be limited until such time as significant evaluation work is undertaken
regarding prospective mergers or acquisitions.
At September 30, 1997, the Company had no material commitments for capital
expenditures.
