PART I
Item 1. Description of Business.
A. Business Development and Summary
Karma Media, Inc. ("Karma Media" or the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 21, 1999 as "Le Gourmet Co., Inc." Until March 2003, Karma Media was implementing a plan to market a variety of cookbooks in numerous categories and specialty gourmet kitchen products to retail consumers via the Internet. As Le Gourmet Co., Inc., Karma Media had only limited start-up operations and generated negligible revenues. In March-April 2003, Karma Media implemented a management restructuring and a name change to Estelle Reyna, Inc.' Karma Media refocused its business plan and repositioned itself as a multimedia marketing company. In September 2003, the Company implemented another name change to its current name, Karma Media, Inc. The purpose behind that name change was to emphasize the Company's focus on Internet marketing campaigns to socially responsible merchants and the promotion of products and services over the web to consumers who support the advancement of non-profit and charitable causes.
The Company is continuously pursuing agreements with broadcasters and other strategic partners worldwide. Karma Media is also further strengthening its position as a cause-related marketer by systematically including a series of public service announcements in all of its productions, whether for radio or television. With the ongoing signature of new television and radio broadcast agreements, Karma Media has extended its reach well beyond the Internet and is in a unique position to promote public service announcements and other non-profit messages to millions of households around the world in both the English and Spanish language. Starting June 2004, the Company began airing messages from the Ad Council and disseminating messages about critical issues such as historic preservation, arts education, after school participation and obesity prevention. Going forward, Karma Media intends to allocate at least 10% of its available commercial airtime to non-profit causes, with a clear goal of effecting positive social change in all markets where the Company has a presence.
Karma Media plans to expand its position as a cause-related media company. The Company's cause-related marketing model involves consumers, businesses and charities in a concept where one contributes to the benefit of the other.
Karma Media's administrative office is located at 13101 Washington Blvd., 2nd Floor, Los Angeles, CA , 90066, telephone (310) 432-6372.
Karma Media's fiscal year end is December 31.
B. Business of Issuer
(1) Principal Products and Services and Principal Markets
Karma Media, Inc., www.karmamedia.com, is a multi-media company producing original content in multiple languages, primarily for television. The Company's flagship product is "Estelle's Paradise," www.estelle.tv, a half-hour weekly travel show that airs on over 600 television stations around the world. The Company's core value of social responsibility influences its content, productions and strategic relationships.

(2)
Distribution Methods of the Products or Services
Karma Media relies on a network of over 600 television broadcasters as well as the Internet as its primary marketing and distribution media.
The Company maintains two web properties, www.karmamedia.com and www.estelle.tv.
The first web site, www.karmamedia.com, reflects the Company's corporate mantra. The site displays the Company's philosophy and commitment. KarmaMedia.com serves the dual purpose of educating the consumer about the causes Karma Media supports and, above all, explains the Company's strategy of supporting charitable organizations via the systematic distribution of public service announcements.
The second web site, www.estelle.tv, describes and displays the Company's core product, a travelogue hosted by Company Chairperson, Estelle Reyna, called "Estelle's Paradise".
Karma Media leverages the popularity and numerous ongoing media appearances of its Chairman and spokesperson, Latin supermodel and Internet celebrity, Estelle Reyna. Ms. Reyna has been dubbed as one of the most downloaded women on the Internet with an estimated fan base in excess of several million individuals. The 30-minute travel show, "Estelle's Paradise" has arguably become the most widely distributed travel show on earth, with over 600 television broadcasters carrying the show in dozens of countries. The show is produced in both English and Spanish.
(3) Status of any announced new product or service
Karma Media has been adding dozens of new broadcasters every month to the distribution of "Estelle's Paradise" and its Spanish counterpart, "El Paraiso de Estelle".
The Company is focusing on adding a consistent stream of new broadcasters, both domestically and internationally and is constantly producing new episodes for the travelogue.
(4) Industry background and competition
The competition for travel content and programming, both for broadcast and Internet delivery, is fierce. While "Estelle's Paradise" has a significant following and is enjoying exponential growth in the number of broadcasters carrying the show, Karma Media's existing competitors, as well as potential new competitors, may have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than Karma Media. This may allow them to devote greater resources than Karma Media can to the development and promotion of new content. These competitors may also engage in more extensive technology research and development and adopt more aggressive pricing policies for their content. As a result, it is possible that Karma Media may have difficulty competing for new client broadcasters.
Many websites compete with Karma Media's sites for visitors, subscribers, advertisers and e-commerce partners and Karma Media expects this competition to increase in the future. Karma Media believes that the primary competitive factors in its markets include brand recognition, the quality of content and products, technology, pricing, ease of use, sales and marketing efforts and user demographics. Karma Media believes that it competes favorably with respect to each of these factors.

(5)
Sources and availability of raw materials and the names of principal suppliers
Karma Media's promotional and marketing efforts depend substantially on media content derived from Ms. Reyna's work. However, the Company is in the business of securing new distribution channels and driving exposure and transactions for third party merchants and clients. As such, Karma Media does not rely or depend on any particular supplier.
(6) Customers
The Company's client roster consists of hundreds of domestic and international broadcasters, all of which are listed on the Karma Media's web site, www.karmamedia.com. Karma Media also does extensive work for charities and non-profit organizations such as A Special Wish Foundation, the United Nation's World Food Program or the National Wildlife Federation. In addition, Karma Media drives transactions to over 300 merchant web sites. While revenues attributable to some clients are larger, no client individually accounts for a significant percentage of the overall revenue stream. At this time, Karma Media does not anticipate that its business will depend disproportionately on any particular client or a group of clients.
(7) Intellectual Property
Karma Media does not have any patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises, concessions or royalty agreements.
(8) Need for Government Approval
None.
(9)
Effect of existing or probable government regulations
Karma Media is subject to the same federal, state, and local laws as other companies conducting business on the Internet. Today there are relatively few laws specifically directed towards online services. However, due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet and online services, many laws relating to the Internet are being debated at the state and federal levels (both in the U.S. and abroad) and it is possible that laws and regulations will be adopted with respect to the Internet or online services. These laws and regulations could cover issues such as user privacy, freedom of expression, pricing, fraud, content and quality of products and services, taxation, advertising, intellectual property rights and information security.
Applicability to the Internet of existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, copyrights and other intellectual property issues, taxation, libel, obscenity and personal privacy is uncertain. The vast majority of these laws was adopted prior to the advent of the Internet and related technologies and, as a result, do not contemplate or address the unique issues of the Internet and related technologies. Those laws that do reference the Internet, such as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, are only beginning to be interpreted by the courts and their applicability and scope are, therefore, uncertain.
Several states have proposed legislation that would limit the uses of personal user information gathered online or require online services to establish privacy policies. The Federal Trade Commission also has settled several proceedings regarding the manner, in which personal information is collected from users and provided to third parties. Specific statutes intended to protect user privacy have been passed in many non-U.S. jurisdictions. Changes to existing laws or the passage of new laws intended to address these issues could directly affect the way Karma Media does business or could create uncertainty on the Internet. This could reduce demand for Karma Media's services, increase the cost of doing business as a result of litigation costs or increased service delivery costs, or otherwise harm Karma Media's business. In addition, because Karma Media's services will be accessible worldwide, and Karma Media plans to facilitate sales of goods to users worldwide, foreign jurisdictions may claim that Karma Media is required to comply with their laws. Laws regulating Internet companies outside of the U.S. may be less favorable then those in the U.S., giving greater rights to consumers, content owners and users. Compliance may be more costly or may require Karma Media to change its business practices or restrict service offerings relative to those in the U.S. Karma Media's failure to comply with foreign laws could subject Karma Media to penalties ranging from fines to bans on Karma Media's ability to offer its services.
(10) Cost of Research and Development
Most of Karma Media's general and administrative expenses consist of the costs of management and development of new Internet/website applications. During the year ended December 31, 2004, the general and administrative expenses were $1,185,997.
(11) Costs and effects of compliance with environmental laws
None applicable.
(12) Employees
Karma Media does not have any employees, but relies on the services of its officers and directors and a number of independent consultants to perform duties ranging from day to day management of operations to graphic design, programming, and bookkeeping. The Company retains the services of about 8 to 12 consultants at all times, depending on the workload.
C. Reports to Security Holders
(1) Karma Media will furnish its shareholders with annual financial reports certified by Karma Media's independent accountants.
(2) Karma Media is a reporting issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Karma Media will continue to file annual reports on Form 10-KSB, quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to these reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended as required to maintain the fully reporting status.

The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
The following information covers all securities that Karma Media sold within the past three years without registering the securities under the Securities Act:
In February 2003, Karma Media issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock (retroactively restated to reflect the split that took effect in March 2003) to Dominique Einhorn and 5,000,000 shares of common stock (retroactively restated to reflect the split that took effect in March 2003) to Estelle Reyna. The Company issued these shares as compensation to these two individuals for joining Karma Media in managerial capacities. Karma Media valued that issuance of common stock at $0.01 per post-split share. At the time of the issuance, Mr. Einhorn and Ms. Reyna were in possession of all available material information about Karma Media. Also, Mr. Einhorn and Ms. Reyna had a degree of financial sophistication, which allowed them to make an independent assessment of the investment merits of Karma Media. On the basis of these facts, Karma Media claims that the issuance of stock to Mr. Einhorn and Ms. Reyna was qualified for the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
Also in February 2003, the Board of Directors of Karma Media unanimously approved a 5-for-1 forward stock split, recorded as a stock dividend to each of the holders of common stock of the Company at the rate of four shares of common stock for each share then owned with a record date of February 28, 2003 and a distribution date of March 3, 2003.
In August 2003, Karma Media issued 770,000 shares of common stock to approximately twelve individuals, including one officer & director and one essential employee of the Company. Karma Media issued the shares for a subscriptions receivable of $770 and for services rendered of $37,730 based on the fair market value of the stock, which was estimated at $0.05 per share at the time of such sale. At the time of the issuance, the twelve individuals (a) were in possession of all available material information about Karma Media, and (b) had a degree of financial sophistication, which allowed them to make an independent assessment of the investment merits of Karma Media. On the basis of these facts, Karma Media claims that the issuance of stock in August 2003 was qualified for the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

In December 2003, Karma Media executed a consulting agreement with Christopher Pair. Mr. Pair received a 10-year warrant to purchase, at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, up to 20% of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock on a fully-diluted basis, on customary terms and conditions, including full anti-dilution and price protection and cashless exercise. The parties agreed that, as of December 2003, up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock were subject to the warrant. At the time of the issuance, Mr. Pair (a) was in possession of all available material information about Karma Media, and (b) had a degree of financial sophistication, which allowed them to make an independent assessment of the investment merits of Karma Media. On the basis of these facts, Karma Media claims that the issuance of the warrant to Mr. Pair in December 2003 was qualified for the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. Utilizing the Black Scholes formula (assuming a 10 year life, no expected dividends, volatility of 80%, and a risk-free interest rate of 4.41%) and applying a 30% discount for lack of marketability, the Company determined that the fair value of the warrant issued was $873,319. Karma Media recorded that value as an expense to be amortized over a five-year period.
In April 2004, Karma Media executed a consulting agreement with Dartmouth Capital, Inc., for strategic planning, general corporate, and management advisory services in exchange for 900,000 shares of the Karma's common stock. Consultant will, upon request, provide to Karma corporate services on an "as needed" basis, including, but not limited to, (a) assisting Karma's management in executing its business plan; (b) assisting management in identifying and negotiating with firms to provide the appropriate financial services to expedite the Company's ability to achieve its goals and objectives; (c) integrating and coordinating Karma's relationship with its outside professionals (i.e.; legal, accounting, investor relations, etc.) and recommending, when necessary, appropriate new professionals; (d) assisting Karma in building its management team, Advisory Committee and Board of Directors; (e) assisting management in evaluating and negotiating potential investments, mergers and acquisitions, and strategic partnerships; (f) provide licensing opportunities for Karma and its products and services; and (g) assisting management in developing a recapitalization plan, if the need arises. The term of this Agreement is for thirty-six (36) months, having commenced April 5, 2004. At the time of the issuance, Dartmouth Capital, Inc., was in possession of all available material information about Karma Media, and had a degree of financial sophistication, which allowed them to make an independent assessment of the investment merits of Karma Media. On the basis of these facts, Karma Media claims that the issuance of the shares to Dartmouth Capital, Inc. in April 2004 was qualified for the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
In September 2004, Karma Media hired US EURO Consulting to serve as its non-exclusive corporate finance consultant. In connection with such engagement, US EURO was issued 900,000 shares of Karma's common stock. The term of this engagement is for thirty-six (36) months, having commenced September 8, 2004. At the time of the issuance, US EURO Consulting was in possession of all available material information about Karma Media, and had a degree of financial sophistication, which allowed them to make an independent assessment of the investment merits of Karma Media. On the basis of these facts, Karma Media claims that the issuance of the shares to US EURO Consulting in September 2004 was qualified for the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
Also in September 2004, Karma signed an agreement with US EURO Securities, Inc., regarding a proposed "best efforts" equity offering of a certain number of shares of common stock to be issued by the Karma. In exchange, US EURO Securities, Inc., received warrants to purchase a total of 10% of the total number of shares purchased by the investor. US EURO Securities, Inc., may exercise these warrants at a price equal to 100% of the price paid by the investor or the day's closing price if at a discount to the market. These warrants are to be delivered in fully accountable and non-assessable form and will contain standard anti-dilution provisions. The warrants carry unlimited "piggyback" registration rights to any subsequent registration by Karma.
Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
This section must be read in conjunction with the Audited Financial Statements included in this report.
A. Management's Discussion
Karma Media, Inc., was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 21, 1999 as Le Gourmet Co., Inc. Until March 2003, Karma Media was implementing a plan to market a variety of cookbooks in numerous categories and specialty gourmet kitchen products to retail consumers via the Internet. As Le Gourmet Co., Inc., Karma Media had only limited start-up operations and generated negligible revenues.
In February 2003, upon joining Karma Media's management team, Dominique Einhorn and Estelle Reyna contributed, free of any encumbrances or liens, certain assets and assigned certain revenue streams to the Company, which resulted in a broader offering of
Internet-based products and services. In addition, Estelle Reyna assigned to the Company all revenues from her modeling and personal appearances earned starting February 14, 2003. The initial assignment has a duration of one year, renewable by the board of directors upon expiration.
In FY2003, Karma Media generated $397,902 in revenue versus $138 in FY2002. During the same period, total operating expenses amounted to $1,018,596 for a net loss of $792,679, which is equivalent to approximately $0.0482 loss per share. Total general and administrative expenses were approximately $1,016,635. The cumulative net loss was attributable primarily to the costs of attracting a management team and the costs of start-up operations.
In FY2004, Karma Media generated $732,475 in revenue versus $397,902 in FY2003. During FY2004, it has gross profit of $290,034 with total general and administrative expenses amounted to $1,189,997 and a net loss of $899,183, which is equivalent to approximately $0.0591 loss per share. The net loss was primarily attributable to $882,000 costs associated with shares issued for consulting services.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2004, Karma Media had $98,783 in working capital. Karma Media's current assets as of December 31, 2004 consisted of $32,457 in cash, $77,556 in receivables, and prepaid and other current assets of $4,770. Karma Media's current liabilities as of December 31, 2004 was $16,000.
Karma Media believes that it has sufficient resources to continue operations for the next twelve months.
B. Plan of Operation
Karma Media's flagship product is a half-hour travelogue produced primarily for television. The travelogue is entitled "Estelle's Paradise" and is hosted by Company Chairperson, Latin Supermodel Estelle Reyna. Both an original English and Spanish version of the show are available.

"Estelle's Paradise" has enjoyed wide acceptance with hundreds of broadcasters around the world, including the United States, Spain, the United Kingdom and virtually every country in Latin America. Karma Media's distribution team is constantly adding new broadcasters to its roster of stations that carry the show, both domestically and internationally. A chronology of finalized broadcast agreements can be found further below.
The Company's typical modus operandi is to offer the show to respective broadcasters on a "commercial time split basis". Under this agreement (see appendices for example), the Company typically retains the rights to one half (50%) of the commercial air time available during each half-hour broadcast of "Estelle's Paradise", which is equivalent to anywhere from 2 minutes to 4 minutes per broadcast, depending on the broadcaster and country of distribution. Karma Media in turn intends to sell its allocation of commercial air time to sponsors and advertisers. Starting with FY2005, in addition to collecting fees from potential advertisers and sponsors, the Company also intends to license its shows to broadcasters for a flat fee per episode and is in active negotiations with several broadcasters (both domestically and internationally) interested in carrying the shows in exchange for a license fee.
Additionally, the Company has been working on re-purposing its growing content library for distribution via the Web (webcasts), mobile content delivery (downloadable pictorial and video content for mobile phones and PDAs) and other, ancillary entertainment products. Going forward, the Company expects such alternative content delivery vehicles to produce sustainable operational revenues.
Since its inception, Karma Media has aligned itself with worthwhile, non-profit causes. The Company's core value of social responsibility influences its content, productions and strategic relationships. After signing an agreement with A Special Wish Foundation in FY2004, the Company signed additional agreements with the United Nations
World Food Programme and the National Wildlife Federation in early 2005 (see appendices). Karma Media intends to expand its role as a cause related marketer by supporting and fostering noble causes that tend to benefit humankind.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of
Karma Media, Inc.
Los Angeles, CA
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Karma Media, Inc., (the "Company") as of December 31, 2004, and 2003, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 9 to the financial statements, the Company has sustained operating losses and capital deficits that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's operating and financing plans in regards to these matters are also discussed in Note 9. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Karma Media, Inc., as of December 31, 2004, and the results of its statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when earned through affiliate programs. The affiliate programs are with various companies whereby they will pay a referral or commission for sales generated through a link on the Company's website. The affiliates generally take 30 days to process the commission once the sale occurs. The Company recognizes the commission once it is notified of the amount. For consulting, on-line marketing and sponsorship and appearance income the Company recognizes revenue as services are performed.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses all costs of advertising as incurred. The advertising costs are included in cost of goods sold in the statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
Historical net (loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) includes additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants. Common stock equivalents were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the Company reported a loss because to do so would be anti-dilutive for the periods presented.
The following is a reconciliation of the computation for basic and diluted EPS:

Start-up Costs
Reporting on the costs of start-up activities follows Statement of Position 98-5 (SOP 98-5), "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities," which provides guidance on the financial reporting of start-up costs and organizational costs and requires most costs of start-up activities and organizational costs to be expensed as incurred. SOP 98-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. With the adoption of SOP 98-5, there has been little or no effect on the Company's financial statements.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value of financial instruments discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2004 and 2003. The respective carrying value of certain balance sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and accounts payable and accrued expenses. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair value or they are payable on demand.

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities", which addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and supercedes EITF No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF No. 94-3, a liability for an exit cost is recognized at the date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that the liability should initially be measured and recorded at fair value. The provisions of SFAS No. 146 have been adopted for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - an amendment of SFAS No. 123." This Statement amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The adoption of SFAS No. 148 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation ("FIN") No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees and Indebtedness of Others", an interpretation of FIN No. 5, 57, and 107, and rescission of FIN No. 34, "Disclosure of Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others". FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by the guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also requires that a guarantor recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of this interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, while the provisions of the disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The Company adopted the interpretations during fiscal 2003, as required. The adoption of such interpretation did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Recent Pronouncements (Continued)
In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities", an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51. FIN No. 46 requires that variable interest entities be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or is entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both. FIN No. 46 also requires disclosures about variable interest entities that companies are not required to consolidate but in which a company has a significant variable interest. The consolidation requirements of FIN No. 46 applied immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements applied to entities established prior to January 31, 2003 in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The disclosure requirements apply in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN No. 46 during the first quarter of fiscal 2003.
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No. 150 changes the classification in the statement of financial position of certain common financial instruments from either equity or mezzanine presentation to liabilities and requires an issuer of those financial statements to recognize changes in fair value or redemption amount, as applicable, in earnings. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and with one exception, is effective at the beginning of the first interim period of adoption. Restatement of prior periods is not permitted. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have any impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related interpretations and has adopted the disclosure-only alternative of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Options granted to consultants, independent representatives and other non-employees are accounted for using the fair value method as prescribed by SFAS No. 123.

Deferred tax assets $513,247

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENT
On December 4, 2003, the Company executed a consulting agreement with Christopher Pair to assist the Company with strategic planning and introducing potential business partners and customers. The agreement provides for (a) consulting fees paid quarterly based on 20% of net revenues less certain revenues attributable to sources not associated with the contract and other expenses; and (b) issuance of one warrant to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of the Company's $0.001 par value common stock. Consulting fees associated with the warrant were based on a value of $0.50 per share. The value of the warrant was based on the then-market closing price of the Company's common stock. The Company then discounted the then-market closing price because the shares issued and options to purchase shares were restricted and the volume of trading of the Company's common stock that was not restricted was relatively low. The resulting consulting expense recognized for the warrant issuance was $777,356 for the year ended December 31, 2003. During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company paid no consulting fees and accrued no fees.
NOTE 9 - GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying financial statements' the Company has sustained net operating losses for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, and has sustained large accumulated deficits.
The Company's future success is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations and generate cash from operating activities. Sales have started to increase and the Company believes that it will be profitable in 2005, and will generate sufficient net income and cash flow to sustain operation over the next twelve months. The majority of the current year loss was the result of the issuance of stock for consulting services.
There is however no guarantee that the Company will be able to generate revenues to sustain its operations.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
