PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
General
Millennium Quest, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, is a
"blank check" company which is attempting to locate a business enterprise
which it may acquire, merge or reorganize with, or become engaged in. The
Company has been inactive for several years, and to date has not located any
specific business enterprise for its involvement, nor has it entered into any
arrangement or agreements with respect thereto.
History
Millennium Quest, Inc. (the "Company") was organized under the laws of
the state of Delaware on February 4, 1986, under the name "Teracom, Inc.," for
the purpose of seeking a business opportunity which the Company could acquire,
merge with, or become engaged in. Immediately following the organization of
the Company, it sold a total of 400,000 shares of common stock, as presently
constituted, to its officers, directors and other shareholders for a total of
$20,000 in cash. In order to provide the Company with additional capital to
seek to acquire or enter into a business opportunity, in March, 1987, the
Company completed an offering registered by qualification in the State of
Utah, and offered pursuant to an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as set forth in Rule 504 of Regulation D,
as amended (the "offering"). In the offering, the Company sold a total of
806,750 shares of common stock at a sales price of $.20 per share, as
presently constituted, after giving effect to a 1 for 10 reverse split
effected by the Company in January, 1989, described below, or an aggregate
offering of $161,350. Following the offering, the original officers,
directors and shareholders contributed back to the Company a total of 58,750
shares of common stock, to meet certain dilution requirements of the Utah
Securities Division, the state in which the offering was conducted. The
Company received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $133,000
after offering costs.
In December, 1988, the Company entered into a reorganization with Dix
Hills Equities Group, Inc. ("Dix Hills"), a closely-held Delaware corporation,
which transaction was later rescinded in May, 1994, as described below. Under
the terms of the reorganization, the Company acquired all of the issued and
outstanding shares of Dix Hills in exchange for the issuance of a total of
4,592,000 shares of restricted common stock, or a controlling interest of
approximately 80%, to the Dix Hills shareholders. As a result of this
transaction, Dix Hills, a company engaged in the air conditioning and heating
business, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In connection with
the reorganization, the officers and directors of the Company resigned, and
the designees of Dix Hills were appointed as the new directors and officers of
the Company; the Company effected a 1-for-10 reverse split in its issued and
outstanding shares; and the Company changed its name to "Dix Hills Equities
Group, Inc." All share figures in this report give effect to the 1-for-10
reverse split described above.
In connection with the reorganization, the Company spent several weeks
reviewing the business and operating results of Dix Hills Equities Group, Inc.
("Dix Hills"). However, due to limited resources, the Company did not seek
the assistance of experts in evaluating or assessing the business and
financial condition of Dix Hills, or in verifying the information and
representations provided by Dix Hills and its representatives. The
reorganization was entered into in reliance upon numerous representations of
management of Dix Hills, including representations that (a) that the surviving
company would undertake a significant expansion
1
plan, and (b) the surviving company had commitments from third parties to
provide substantial additional capital to fund such expansion. Many of these
representations were contained in the reorganization agreement. Following the
reorganization, former management learned that management of the successor
company, despite their representations to the contrary, were unable or
unwilling to perform as represented. As a result, no expansion plan was
implemented, and new management failed to keep the shareholders apprized of
Company activities. This resulted in the lawsuit described below. Management
has concluded that a number of measures could have been undertaken to reduce
the possibility of similar mistakes in the future, including, a more thorough
"due diligence" review of the merger candidate, and, where appropriate, the
use of experts to assist in reviewing the proposed merger candidate;
continuing participation on the board of directors of the successor company;
penalty provisions and other safeguards in the merger or acquisition agreement
in the event management failed to perform as represented, and the like. At
the time of the transaction, management had relatively little business
experience. Since 1988, management has acquired extensive experience in
reviewing and evaluating companies, and in structuring transactions, which
should reduce the likelihood of similar errors in the future.
In October, 1991, a group of interested shareholders, consisting of
Coombs & Company, a Washington state partnership, and the present officers and
directors, filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the
District of Utah, against Dix Hills and the new management of the Company (the
"Dix Hills Group"), alleging a number of claims against the Dix Hills Group,
including federal securities law claims. In September, 1993, the parties to
the lawsuit entered into a settlement agreement, under the terms of which the
Dix Hills Group agreed to rescind the reorganization agreement, and to return
the control and status of the public company back to its pre-acquisition
officers and directors. The settlement agreement provided for the payment by
the Dix Hills Group to the Company of the sum of $80,000. In connection with
the settlement, in May, 1994, the Dix Hills Group returned to the Company, for
cancellation, all of the 4,592,000 post-split shares of common stock issued in
the reorganization, together with an additional 186,360 shares of common stock
owned by former management. As a result of the settlement agreement, the Dix
Hills Group resigned as officers and directors of the Company, and present
management was appointed.
In April, 2000, the Company changed its name to "Millennium Quest, Inc."
In February, 1999, the Company issued a total of 1,000,000 shares of
restricted common stock, to its officers, directors and two other
shareholders, in consideration of the efforts undertaken by these individuals
to accomplish the rescission, described above, and to reactivate the business
of the Company.
Business - General
As indicated, the Company is seeking a business enterprise for
acquisition, reorganization or merger, or participation by the Company. The
Company has not entered into any agreement, nor does it have any commitment or
understanding to enter into or become engaged in a transaction as of the date
of this filing. The Company will investigate, review, and evaluate business
opportunities as they become available and will seek to acquire or become
engaged in business opportunities at such time as specific opportunities
warrant.
It is anticipated that opportunities will be made available to the
Company through its officers and directors and through professional advisors
including securities broker-dealers and through members of the financial
community.
To a large extent, a decision to participate in a specific business
opportunity may be made upon management's analysis regarding the quality of
the other firm's management
2
and personnel, the asset base of such firm or enterprise, the anticipated
acceptability of new products or marketing concepts, the merit of the firms
business plan, and numerous other factors which are difficult, if not
impossible, to analyze through the application of any objective criteria.
For the past few years, the Company has had no active business
operations, and has been seeking to acquire an interest in a business with
long-term growth potential. The Company currently has no commitment or
arrangement to participate in a business and cannot now predict what type of
business it may enter into or acquire. It is emphasized that the business
objectives discussed herein are extremely general and are not intended to be
restrictive on the discretion of the Company's management.
There are no plans or arrangements proposed or under consideration for
the issuance or sale of additional securities by the Company prior to the
identification of an acquisition candidate. Consequently, management
anticipates that it may be able to participate in only one potential business
venture, due primarily to the Company's limited capital. This lack of
diversification should be considered a substantial risk, because it will not
permit the Company to offset potential losses from one venture against gains
from another.
Selection of a Business
The Company anticipates that businesses for possible acquisition will be
referred by various sources, including its officers and directors,
professional advisors, securities broker-dealers, venture capitalists, members
of the financial community, and others who may present unsolicited proposals.
The Company will not engage in any general solicitation or advertising for a
business opportunity, and will rely on personal contacts of its officers and
directors and their affiliates, as well as indirect associations between them
and other business and professional people. By relying on "word of mouth,"
the Company may be limited in the number of potential acquisitions it can
identify. While it is not presently anticipated that the Company will engage
unaffiliated professional firms specializing in business acquisitions or
reorganizations, such firms may be retained if management deems it in the best
interest of the Company.
Compensation to a finder or business acquisition firm may take various
forms, including one-time cash payments, payments based on a percentage of
revenues or product sales volume, payments involving issuance of securities
(including those of the Company), or any combination of these or other
compensation arrangements. Consequently, the Company is currently unable to
predict the cost of utilizing such services. Management of the Company will
not be paid a finder's fee for locating a business opportunity.
The Company will not restrict its search to any particular business,
industry, or geographical location, and management reserves the right to
evaluate and enter into any type of business in any location. The Company may
participate in a newly organized business venture or a more established
company entering a new phase of growth or in need of additional capital to
overcome existing financial problems. Participation in a new business venture
entails greater risks since in many instances management of such a venture
will not have proved its ability, the eventual market of such venture's
product or services will likely not be established, and the profitability of
the venture will be unproved and cannot be predicted accurately. If the
Company participates in a more established firm with existing financial
problems, it may be subjected to risk because the financial resources of the
Company may not be adequate to eliminate or reverse the circumstances leading
to such financial problems.
3
In seeking a business venture, the decision of management will not be
controlled by an attempt to take advantage of any anticipated or perceived
appeal of a specific industry, management group, product, or industry, but
will be based on the business objective of seeking long-term capital
appreciation in the real value of the Company. The Company will not acquire
or merge with a business or corporation in which the Company's officers,
directors, or promoters, or their affiliates or associates, have any direct or
indirect ownership interest.
The analysis of new businesses will be undertaken by or under the
supervision of the officers and directors. In analyzing prospective
businesses, management will consider, to the extent applicable, the available
technical, financial, and managerial resources; working capital and other
prospects for the future; the nature of present and expected competition; the
quality and experience of management services which may be available and the
depth of that management; the potential for further research, development, or
exploration; the potential for growth and expansion; the potential for profit;
the perceived public recognition or acceptance of products, services, or trade
or service marks; name identification; and other relevant factors.
The decision to participate in a specific business may be based on
management's analysis of the quality of the other firm's management and
personnel, the anticipated acceptability of new products or marketing
concepts, the merit of technological changes, and other factors which are
difficult, if not impossible, to analyze through any objective criteria. It
is anticipated that the results of operations of a specific firm may not
necessarily be indicative of the potential for the future because of the
requirement to substantially shift marketing approaches, expand significantly,
change product emphasis, change or substantially augment management, and other
factors.
The Company will analyze all available factors and make a determination
based on a composite of available facts, without reliance on any single
factor. The period within which the Company may participate in a business
cannot be predicted and will depend on circumstances beyond the Company's
control, including the availability of businesses, the time required for the
Company to complete its investigation and analysis of prospective businesses,
the time required to prepare appropriate documents and agreements providing
for the Company's participation, and other circumstances.
Acquisition of a Business
In implementing a structure for a particular business acquisition, the
Company may become a party to a merger, consolidation, or other reorganization
with another corporation or entity; joint venture; license; purchase and sale
of assets; or purchase and sale of stock, the exact nature of which cannot now
be predicted. Notwithstanding the above, the Company does not intend to
participate in a business through the purchase of minority stock positions.
On the consummation of a transaction, it is likely that the present management
and shareholders of the Company will not be in control of the Company. In
addition, a majority or all of the Company's directors may, as part of the
terms of the acquisition transaction, resign and be replaced by new directors
without a vote of the Company's shareholders.
In connection with the Company's acquisition of a business, the present
shareholders of the Company, including officers and directors, may, as a
negotiated element of the acquisition, sell a portion or all of the Company's
Common Stock held by them at a significant premium over their original
investment in the Company. As a result of such sales, affiliates of the
entity participating in the business reorganization with the Company would
acquire a higher percentage of equity ownership in the Company. Management
does not intend to actively negotiate for or otherwise require the purchase of
all or any portion of its stock as a condition to or in connection with any
proposed merger or acquisition. Although the Company's present
4
shareholders did not acquire their shares of Common Stock with a view towards
any subsequent sale in connection with a business reorganization, it is not
unusual for affiliates of the entity participating in the reorganization to
negotiate to purchase shares held by the present shareholders in order to
reduce the amount of shares held by persons no longer affiliated with the
Company and thereby reduce the potential adverse impact on the public market
in the Company's common stock that could result from substantial sales of such
shares after the business reorganization. Public investors will not receive
any portion of the premium that may be paid in the foregoing circumstances.
Furthermore, the Company's shareholders may not be afforded an opportunity to
approve or consent to any particular stock buy-out transaction.
In the event sales of shares by present shareholders of the Company,
including officers and directors, is a negotiated element of a future
acquisition, a conflict of interest may arise because directors will be
negotiating for the acquisition on behalf of the Company and for sale of their
shares for their own respective accounts. Where a business opportunity is
well suited for acquisition by the Company, but affiliates of the business
opportunity impose a condition that management sell their shares at a price
which is unacceptable to them, management may not sacrifice their financial
interest for the Company to complete the transaction. Where the business
opportunity is not well suited, but the price offered management for their
shares is high, Management will be tempted to effect the acquisition to
realize a substantial gain on their shares in the Company. Management does
not anticipate obtaining an independent appraisal to determine whether any
price that may be offered for their shares is fair. Stockholders must rely,
instead, on the obligation of management to fulfill its fiduciary duty under
state law to act in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
However, the Company has adopted a policy for resolving the foregoing adopted
a resolution for the purpose of addressing potential conflicts of interest
between controlling shareholders and/or management and the other shareholders.
Under this policy, management and controlling shareholders are prohibited from
entering into any transaction which would be in their interests but be
contrary to the best interests of the minority shareholders. While this
policy does not prohibit transactions which would result in a personal benefit
to management or controlling shareholders, the policy does require management
to more carefully evaluate a proposed transaction to determine that the
transaction is in the best interest of the Company.
The officers and directors of the Company intend to conduct their
business in the best interests of all the shareholders.
Under Delaware Law, the officers and directors of a corporation have a
fiduciary duty to a corporation and the stockholders of the corporation. In
general, management of a Delaware corporation are held to two duties as
fiduciaries: (a) the duty of remaining loyalty to the interests of the
corporation, and (b) the duty of exercising due care. The duty of loyalty is
the obligation of an officer or director to give primacy to the interests of
the corporation rather than personal concerns - to avoid self-dealing at the
corporation's expense. An officer and director can be held personally liable
if it is found that he breached this duty by using his corporate position to
make a personal profit or for other personal gain. The duty of care is the
obligation of an officer and director to exercise reasonable prudence - to
investigate and to deliberate adequately - in making business judgments for
the corporation or its stockholders. These duties are owed personally by the
officers and directors of the Company, and the officers and directors, or each
of them, can be personally liable for any damages to the Company resulting
from a breach of such fiduciary duties.
It is anticipated that any securities issued in any such reorganization
would be issued in reliance on exemptions from registration under applicable
federal and state securities laws. In some circumstances, however, as a
negotiated element of the transaction, the Company may agree to register such
securities either at the time the transaction is consummated, under
5
certain conditions, or at specified times thereafter. Although the terms of
such registration rights and the number of securities, if any, which may be
registered cannot be predicted, it may be expected that registration of
securities by the Company in these circumstances would entail substantial
expense to the Company. The issuance of substantial additional securities and
their potential sale into any trading market which may develop in the
Company's securities may have a depressive effect on such market.
While the actual terms of a transaction to which the Company may be a
party cannot be predicted, it may be expected that the parties to the business
transaction will find it desirable to structure the acquisition as a so-called
"tax-free" event under sections 351 or 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, (the "Code"). In order to obtain tax-free treatment under section 351
of the Code, it would be necessary for the owners of the acquired business to
own 80% or more of the voting stock of the surviving entity. In such event,
the shareholders of the Company would retain less than 20% of the issued and
outstanding shares of the surviving entity. Section 368(a)(1) of the Code
provides for tax-free treatment of certain business reorganizations between
corporate entities where one corporation is merged with or acquires the
securities or assets of another corporation. Generally, the Company will be
the acquiring corporation in such a business reorganization, and the tax-free
status of the transaction will not depend on the issuance of any specific
amount of the Company's voting securities. It is not uncommon, however, that
as a negotiated element of a transaction completed in reliance on section 368,
the acquiring corporation issue securities in such an amount that the
shareholders of the acquired corporation will hold 50% or more of the voting
stock of the surviving entity. Consequently, there is a substantial
possibility that the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to the
transaction would retain less than 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of
the surviving entity. Therefore, regardless of the form of the business
acquisition, it may be anticipated that stockholders immediately prior to the
transaction will experience a significant reduction in their percentage of
ownership in the Company.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Company is technically the acquiring
entity in the foregoing circumstances, generally accepted accounting
principles will ordinarily require that such transaction be accounted for as
if the Company had been acquired by the other entity owning the business and,
therefore, will not permit a write-up in the carrying value of the assets of
the other company. The manner in which the Company participates in a business
will depend on the nature of the business, the respective needs and desires of
the Company and other parties, the management of the business, and the
relative negotiating strength of the Company and such other management.
The Company will participate in a business only after the negotiation
and execution of appropriate written agreements. Although the terms of such
agreements cannot be predicted, generally such agreements will require
specific representations and warranties by all of the parties thereto, will
specify certain events of default, will detail the terms of closing and the
conditions which must be satisfied by each of the parties prior to such
closing, will outline the manner of bearing costs if the transaction is not
closed, will set forth remedies on default, and will include miscellaneous
other terms.
6
Operation of Business After Acquisition
The Company's operation following its acquisition of a business will be
dependent on the nature of the business and the interest acquired. The
Company is unable to predict whether the Company will be in control of the
business or whether present management will be in control of the Company
following the acquisition. It may be expected that the business will present
various risks, which cannot be predicted at the present time.
Governmental Regulation
It is impossible to predict the government regulation, if any, to which
the Company may be subject until it has acquired an interest in a business.
The use of assets and/or conduct of businesses which the Company may acquire
could subject it to environmental, public health and safety, land use, trade,
or other governmental regulations and state or local taxation. In selecting a
business in which to acquire an interest, management will endeavor to
ascertain, to the extent of the limited resources of the Company, the effects
of such government regulation on the prospective business of the Company. In
certain circumstances, however, such as the acquisition of an interest in a
new or start-up business activity, it may not be possible to predict with any
degree of accuracy the impact of government regulation. The inability to
ascertain the effect of government regulation on a prospective business
activity will make the acquisition of an interest in such business a higher
risk.
Competition
The Company will be involved in intense competition with other business
entities, many of which will have a competitive edge over the Company by
virtue of their stronger financial resources and prior experience in business.
There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining
suitable investments.
Employees
The Company is a development stage company and currently has no
employees. Executive officers, who are not compensated for their time
contributed to the Company, will devote only such time to the affairs of the
Company as they deem appropriate, which is estimated to be no more than 20
hours per month per person, until such time as the Company enters into active
negotiations to acquire or reorganize with a business. Management of the
Company expects to use consultants, attorneys, and accountants as necessary,
and does not anticipate a need to engage any full-time employees so long as it
is seeking and evaluating businesses. The need for employees and their
availability will be addressed in connection with a decision whether or not to
acquire or participate in a specific business industry. The officers have
received no cash compensation, but each were issued 350,000 shares of common
stock in February, 1999, for services rendered on behalf of the Company.
Recent Developments
Over the past year, the Company and its management have initiated efforts
to locate an attractive enterprise with which the Company may acquire or
become engaged in, or with which it may merge, or reorganize. These efforts
include, but are not limited to, contacts with various professionals,
including professional advisors, securities broker-dealers, lawyers and
accountants, and other members of the financial community; and a preliminary
review of certain business opportunities, all of which have been declined by
the Company.
7
To date, as indicated above, the Company has not entered into any
transaction, and does not have any specific commitments or business
opportunities under review. The Company is undertaking efforts to have its
stock quoted in the "pink sheets," in an attempt to establish a trading market
in the common stock.
Management believes it has been unsuccessful to date in locating a
suitable business enterprise for acquisition, merger or reorganization due to
a number of factors, including the absence of a trading market for the
Company's securities; the very limited resources of the Company; a perceived
decline in "reverse acquisition" transactions in recent years; an increase in
regulatory requirements, and the attendant cost, in connection with becoming a
publicly-owned company; and general economic and market conditions.
Management is hopeful that this situation will change at such time as it
obtains a pink sheet listing and market conditions improve; however, there is
no assurance that will occur.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Company does not own any property. The Company uses offices and
related clerical services at 4089 Mount Olympus Way, Salt Lake City, Utah
84124, provided by Terry Cononelos, the Secretary/Treasurer and a Director of
the Company, at no charge.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is not a party to any material pending legal proceedings,
and to the best of its knowledge, no such proceedings by or against the
Company have been threatened.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OR MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matter was submitted to a vote of security holders, through the
solicitation of proxies or otherwise, during the fiscal year covered by this
report.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
There is no established trading market for the common stock, and there
has not been a trading market in the Company's common stock for over ten (10)
years. For the past several years, there have been no public transactions in
the common stock of the Company, to the best knowledge of the Company. The
Company's common stock is not quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the "pink
sheets," or in any other quotation system. The Company is undertaking efforts
to have its common stock quoted on the Pink Sheets; however, that has not been
accomplished to date, and there can be no assurance the Company will be
successful in accomplishing this objective.
Since its inception, no dividends have been paid on the Company's common
stock. The Company intends to retain any earnings for use in its business
activities, so it is not expected that any dividends on the common stock will
be declared and paid in the foreseeable future.
At April 9, 2004, there were approximately 166 holders of record of the
Company's Common Stock.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
PLAN OF OPERATION
As of December 31, 2003, the Company had cash of $12,116, liabilities of
$6,041, and no other liquid assets or resources.
At present, the Company does not have adequate capital to conduct any
significant operations. The Company is engaged in the search for potential
business opportunities for acquisition or involvement with the Company, which
activities are severely limited by the Company's lack of resources.
Management believes that any business venture in which the Company becomes
involved will be made by issuing shares of the Company's authorized but
unissued common stock. It is anticipated that the Company's liquidity,
capital resources and financial statements will be significantly different
subsequent to the consummation of any such transaction.
The Company has very limited liquid assets, and such assets may not be
sufficient for the Company to meet its operating needs over the next twelve
months, if the Company becomes engaged in a specific business endeavor. Until
the Company finds a business to acquire or to become engaged in, the Company
anticipates that it has sufficient capital through at least September 30,
2004. This may change, however, if the Company is actively reviewing business
opportunities, with attendant travel and other costs, or other unforeseen
expenses are incurred. If additional funds should become necessary for
operations, the Company may be required to seek funds privately from
shareholders and officers and directors. However, there is no legal
obligation on the part of the officers, directors, or principal shareholders
to advance or supply funds to the Company. Accordingly, the preservation of
the corporate entity cannot be assured. In addition, the Company anticipates
that if it enters into an acquisition transaction in the next twelve months,
the surviving company may need additional capital for operations and expansion
efforts. The Company will seek to enter into a business transaction with a
company which either has sufficient operating capital for a period of at least
one year, or which is capable of raising capital on terms favorable to the
successor company. There is no assurance that the Company, or its successor,
will be able to raise private capital when needed, or on favorable terms. The
Company has no material revenues and its needs for capital will in all
likelihood change dramatically if it acquires an interest in a business
opportunity in the next twelve months. The Company's current operating plan
is to (a) cover the administrative and reporting requirements of a public
company; and (b) search for, and investigate, potential businesses, products,
technologies and companies for acquisition. At present, the Company has no
understandings, commitments or agreements with respect to the acquisition of
any business, product, technology or company, and there can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to identify any such business, product,
technology or entity suitable for an acquisition or reorganization
transaction. Moreover, there can be no assurance the Company will be
successful in its efforts to enter into consummate an acquisition or
reorganization transaction on terms favorable or beneficial to the Company and
its shareholders, or that it, or its successor, will be able to effectively
manage the business opportunity the Company acquires or becomes engaged in.
The Company is dependent upon management and/or its principal
shareholders to provide sufficient working capital to preserve the integrity
of the corporate entity during this phase, and until the Company is in a
position to enter into a business transaction, of which there can be no
assurance. It is the intent of management and its principal shareholders to
provide sufficient working capital necessary to support and preserve the
integrity of the corporate entity. However, if the Company is in need of
additional capital to enter into a business opportunity,
9
the Company may not have sufficient capital, or be able to obtain sufficient
capital from management or its principal shareholders for such purpose.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company had essentially no operations during the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2003.
The Company has had no revenue from continuing operations and incurred
expenses during the year ended December 31, 2003, of $7,114, in accounting,
legal and other general and administrative expenses in connection with the
Company's continuing efforts to file necessary periodic reports and to
reactivate its business operations, and in reviewing a number of possible
business opportunities during the fiscal year. For the years ended December
31, 2003 and 2002, the Company has incurred net losses of $7,078 and $7,425,
respectively.
As indicated, the Company will be dependent on management and its
principal shareholders to provide sufficient capital to preserve the integrity
of the corporate entity until the Company enters into a business enterprise.
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements of the Company appear at the end of this report
beginning with the Index to Financial Statements on page 16.
ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH
ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
There have been no changes in or disagreements with accountants since
the Company's organization.
ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the date of this filing, we carried out an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to
material information required to be included in our periodic Securities and
Exchange Commission reports. It should be noted that the design of any system
of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of
future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in
achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless
of how remote. In addition, we reviewed our internal controls, and there have
been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that
could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their last
evaluation.

Audit Committee Financial Expert
Because we have had minimal operations, we do not have an audit
committee serving at this time. Accordingly, we do not have an audit committee
financial expert serving on an audit committee or any other committee of the
Board.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our
directors, executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent of a
registered class of our equity securities, to file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in
ownership of our common stock. To the best knowledge of the Company, there are
no required reports that have not been filed or have been filed untimely
during the most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2003.
11
Code of Ethics
Due to the fact that we have minimal operations, we have not adopted a
code of ethics for our principal executive and financial officers. Our board
of directors will revisit this issue in the future to determine if adoption of
a code of ethics is appropriate. In the meantime, our management intends to
promote honest and ethical conduct, full and fair disclosure in our reports to
the SEC, and compliance with applicable governmental laws and regulations.
Other Shell Company Activities
Neither of the officers and directors are involved in any other shell
corporations, as an officer, director or principal shareholder, and have not
had any such involvement for over ten (10) years.
ITEM 10. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Company has no agreement or understanding, express or implied, with
any officer, director, or principal stockholder, or their affiliates or
associates, regarding employment with the Company or compensation for
services. The Company has no plan, agreement, or understanding, express or
implied, with any officer, director, or principal stockholder, or their
affiliates or associates, regarding the issuance to such persons of any shares
of the Company's authorized and unissued common stock. There is no
understanding between the Company and any of its present stockholders
regarding the sale of a portion or all of the common stock currently held by
them in connection with any future participation by the Company in a business.
There are no other plans, understandings, or arrangements whereby any of the
Company's officers, directors, or principal stockholders, or any of their
affiliates or associates, would receive funds, stock, or other assets in
connection with the Company's participation in a business. No advances have
been made or contemplated by the Company to any of its officers, directors, or
principal stockholders, or any of their affiliates or associates.
There is no policy that prevents management from adopting a plan or
agreement in the future that would provide for cash or stock based
compensation for services rendered to the Company.
On acquisition of a business, it is possible that current management
will resign and be replaced by persons associated with the business acquired,
particularly if the Company participates in a business by effecting a stock
exchange, merger, or consolidation as discussed under "BUSINESS." In the event
that any member of current management remains after effecting a business
acquisition, that member's time commitment and compensation will likely be
adjusted based on the nature and location of such business and the services
required, which cannot now be foreseen.
In February, 1999, the Company granted to its officers and directors,
and two other shareholders, a total of 1,000,000 shares of restricted common
stock, for services rendered on behalf of the Company over the preceding
several years. (See "ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED
TRANSACTIONS.")

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors
MILLENNIUM QUEST, INC.
Salt Lake City, Utah
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Millennium Quest, Inc. [a
development stage company] at December 31, 2003, and the related statements of
operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years ended December
31, 2003 and 2002 and for the period from the re-entering of development stage
on May 4, 1994 through December 31, 2003. 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 audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards in the United States of America. 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 financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements audited by us present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Millennium Quest, Inc. [a
development stage company] as of December 31, 2003, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002
and for the period from the re-entering of development stage on May 4, 1994
through December 31, 2003, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 5 to the financial
statements, the Company has incurred losses since its inception and has no
on-going operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability
to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regards to these
matters are also described in Note 5. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization - Millennium Quest, Inc. ("the Company") was organized under the
laws of the State of Delaware on February 4, 1986 as Teracom, Inc. The name
was changed to Dix Hills Equities Group, Inc. in connection with an
acquisition of a subsidiary in December 1988. As a result of a class action
lawsuit and settlement agreement, a rescission of the acquisition was
completed during 1994. During April 2000, the name of the Company was changed
to Millennium Quest, Inc. The Company currently has no on-going operations
but is seeking potential business opportunities. As a result of the
rescission agreement the Company is considered to have re-entered into the
development stage on May 4, 1994 and is currently considered a development
stage company as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid debt
investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Income Taxes -The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income
Taxes" which requires an asset/liability approach for the effect of income
taxes [See Note 4].
Loss Per Share - The computation of loss per share is based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the period presented in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share"
[See Note 6].
Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimated.
Recently Enacted Accounting Standards - Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or
Disposal Activities", SFAS No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial
Institutions - an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 72 and 144 and FASB
Interpretation No. 9", SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
- Transition and Disclosure - an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123", SFAS
No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 - CAPITAL STOCK [Continued]
Common Stock - On May 4, 1994, shareholders returned 4,778,360 shares of
common stock for cancellation due to the rescission of an acquisition that had
occurred in 1988. This resulted in a change in control of the Company and the
Company entered into a new development stage.
In February 1999, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of its previously
authorized but unissued common stock for services rendered valued at $10,000
(or $.01 per share).
Reduction of Authorized Shares - In March 2000, the Company amended its
Certificate of Incorporation to reduce its number of authorized common shares
by 180,000,000 shares and its authorized preferred shares by 5,000,000. After
the amendment there were 20,000,000 common and 5,000,000 preferred shares
authorized.
NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Management Compensation - During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002
the Company did not pay any compensation to its officers or directors.
Office Space - The Company has not had a need to rent office space. An
officer/shareholder of the Company is allowing the Company to use his home as
a mailing address, as needed, at no expense to the Company.
NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS
No. 109 requires the Company to provide a net deferred tax asset/liability
equal to the expected future tax benefit/expense of temporary reporting
differences between book and tax accounting methods and any available
operating loss or tax credit carryforwards. At December 31, 2003, the Company
has available unused operating loss carryforwards of approximately $136,400,
which may be applied against future taxable income and which expire in various
years through 2023.
The amount of and ultimate realization of the benefits from the operating loss
carryforwards for income tax purposes is dependent, in part, upon the tax laws
in effect, the future earnings of the Company and other future events, the
effects of which cannot be determined. Because of the uncertainty surrounding
the realization of the loss carryforwards, the Company has established a
valuation allowance equal to the tax effect of the loss carryforwards and,
therefore, no deferred tax asset has been recognized in the financial
statements for the loss carryforwards. The net deferred tax assets are
approximately $20,500 and $19,400 as of December 31, 2003 and 2002,
respectively, with an offsetting valuation allowance of the same amount,
resulting in a change in the valuation allowance of approximately $1,100
during the year ended December 31, 2003.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 5 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America which
contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the
Company has incurred losses since its inception and has no on-going
operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the
Company to continue as a going concern. In this regard, management is
proposing to raise additional funds through loans or through additional sales
of its common stock or through the acquisition of other companies. There is
no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising this additional
capital or in achieving profitable operations. These financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these
uncertainties.
