EMERGING BETA CORPORATION
(A Company in the Development Stage)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(All information as of June 30, 1998 and 1997 is unaudited)
1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION
Emerging Beta Corporation (the "Company") is considered to be in the
development stage as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 7. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State
of Delaware on February 10, 1993, for the purpose of seeking out business
opportunities, including acquisitions, that the board of directors, in
their discretion, believe to be good opportunities. The Company will be
heavily dependent on the skills, talents, and abilities of its management
to successfully implement its business plan. An affiliate of a director
is expected to be the source for most business opportunities submitted to
the Company. Due to its currently limited funds and to the fact that the
Company will only receive limited capital from a public offering, it is
likely that the Company will not be able to compete with larger and more
experienced entities for business opportunities which are lower risk and
are more attractive for such entities; business opportunities, in which
the Company ultimately participates will likely be highly risky and
speculative. Since inception, the Company's activities have been limited
to capital formation.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organizational costs relating to the expenses of incorporation will be
amortized on a straight-line basis over five years.
The financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and
1997 are unaudited, but in the opinion of the management of the Company,
contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring accruals,
necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 1998, the
results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
and the cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.
The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 1998 are
not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected
for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 1999.
3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company pays a consulting fee to the Vice President of Finance for
financial services which includes office spae and clerical services. In
the quarter ended June 30, 1998, $2,250 in consulting fees (See Item 2
below) was billed to the Company.
4. PROJECT DESIGN COSTS
The Company is planning a dinner cruise vessel to operate on the
Mississippi Gulf Coast in support of the gaming and resort industry.
Costs to date include a marine architects evaluation and design and
interior planning of the vessel. The total estimated cost of the project
is $5.8 million. The Company is in the process of exploring alternatives
for obtaining both debt and equity financing for the project. The Company
may begin construction on the vessel as early as the later half of 1998.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL
CONDITION
The Company has commenced no operations and has no activities, General
and Administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and
1997 include consulting fees of $2,250.
