Notes to the Financial Statements
September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003
NOTE 1 - CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company
without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include
only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented have
been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It
is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
December 31, 2003 audited financial statements. The results of operations for
the period ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results for the full year.
NOTE 2 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
As of September 30, 2004, the Company owed $51,795 to related parties for
unpaid services rendered to the Company.
NOTE 3 - MATERIAL EVENTS
On January 19, 2004 the Company entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement with
Town House Land Limited, (Town House) an entity organized in China. If

will resign and be replaced by officers and directors of Town House.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
(1) Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information
When used in this report, the words "may," "will," "expect,"
"anticipate," "continue," "estimate," "project," "intend," and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 regarding events, conditions, and financial
trends that may affect the Company's future plans of operations, business
strategy, operating results, and financial position. Persons reviewing this
report are cautioned that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of
future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties and that actual
results may differ materially from those included within the forward-looking
statements as a result of various factors. These risks and uncertainties,
many of which are beyond our control, include (i) the sufficiency of existing
capital resources and the Company's ability to raise additional capital to
fund cash requirements for future operations; (ii) volatility of the stock
market; and (iii) general economic conditions. Although the Company believes
the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable,
such expectations may prove to be incorrect.
(2) Plan of Operation
The Company has been not been engaged in business operations, and has had
no revenue from operations during the quarter ended September 30, 2004.
The Company has entered into an Exchange Agreement with Town House Land
Limited ("Town House"), a company organized in the Hong Kong Special
Administrative Region in The People's Republic of China ("PRC") and the
shareholders of Town House. The Company expects this transaction to close in
December, 2004. The Company has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC"), a 14C Information Statement concerning this transaction
which is currently under review. This proposed transaction, and the business
of Town House, are described in detail in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 and the Company's 14C
Information Statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
on May 19, 2004. If the Exchange Agreement is consummated, the business of
the Registrant will be conducted through its then subsidiary, Town House,
which will, in turn, conduct its business through its subsidiary, Wuhan
Pacific Real Estate Industry Development Company Limited ("Wuhan Pacific"), a
foreign enterprise organized in Hubei Province in The People's Republic of
China ("PRC"). According to documentation provided by Town House, Wuhan
Pacific is one of the first privately-owned property developers in Wuhan City
and is one of the largest property developers in Wuhan City, based on a list
of top 100 property development enterprises in Wuhan City in terms of Gross
Floor Area ("GFA") sold in 2002 published by the Wuhan Statistics Bureau. It
engages principally in the development and sale of high quality private
residential properties catering to the mass residential property market in
Wuhan City. Wuhan Pacific also engages in other ancillary property related
services such as property sales planning and underwriting, construction
supervisory and real estate agency services.
Wuhan Pacific's portfolio of properties under development are currently
all located in Wuhan City and target different segments within the mass
residential property market, including young white collar employees, middle to
senior managers in enterprises, entrepreneurs and families with young
children. These upwardly mobile people represent the emerging middle class in
Wuhan City and are a growing source of demand in the mass residential property
market.
10
Wuhan Pacific aims to further solidify its position in Wuhan City, and
plans to also expand its focus on property business in Shanghai. Wuhan
Pacific also indicates that it will pursue quality business opportunities in
other fast growing cities in China such as Yi Chang, if market conditions are
appropriate. There is no assurance that the operations of the Company will
be successful.
(3) Results of Operations
Except for efforts to complete the stock exchange under the Stock
Exchange Agreement with Town House, described, above, the Company had no
operations during the quarter ended September 30, 2004. As of September 30,
2004, the Company had cash of $92,855, liabilities of $53,570, and no other
liquid assets or resources. It is expected that substantially all of the
Company's cash assets will be expended in connection with the Town House
Acquisition described above.
The Company has not experienced any material changes in results of
operation, except for additional expenses incurred in connection with the
transaction with Town House, described above. The Company had no revenue from
continuing operations and incurred expenses during the three month and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2004, of $17,518 and $84,429, respectively,
in accounting, legal, consulting and other general and administrative
expenses, as compared to $6,759 and $24,122 in expenses for the three month
and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003. These expenses were incurred
principally in connection with its efforts to consummate the Town House
transaction, and, to a much lesser extent, to cover expenses of preparing and
filing required reports.
The Company has realized a net loss for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2004, of $17,441 and $82,312, respectively, and for the three
and nine months ended September 31, 2003, of $6,465 and $23,016, respectively,
and a net loss since inception of $202,874.
(4) Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has not experienced a material change in financial condition
over the past year. At September 30, 2004, the Company had working capital of
approximately $39,285, as compared to $121,597, at December 31, 2003. This
reduction in working capital is due to costs of maintaining the Company as a
public company, and payments to officers and professionals for efforts in
reviewing business opportunities and in connection with the proposed
transaction with Town House, described above. Working capital as of both
dates consists of short-term investments, and cash and cash equivalents, less
current liabilities. Management believes that the Company has sufficient cash
and short-term investments to meet the anticipated needs of the Company's
needs through the completion of the Town House acquisition. However, there
can be no assurances to that effect, and the Company's working capital may not
be sufficient if the Town House transaction doe not close. The Company is
dependent upon management and/or significant shareholders to provide
sufficient working capital to preserve the integrity of the corporate entity
during this phase. It is the intent of management and significant
shareholders to provide sufficient working capital necessary to support and
preserve the integrity of the corporate entity.
Although the Company's assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, the
Company has no intent to become, or hold itself out to be, engaged primarily
in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities.
Accordingly, the Company does not anticipate being required to register
pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, and expects to be limited
11
in its ability to invest in securities, other than cash equivalents and
government securities, in the aggregate amount of over 40% of its assets.
There can be no assurance that any investment made by the Company will not
result in losses.
Item 3 - Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, based on an
evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934)
each of the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of the
Company has concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures
are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the
Company in its Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the applicable time periods specified by the SEC's rules and
forms.
There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or
in any other factors which could significantly affect those controls
subsequent to the date of the most recent evaluation of the Company's internal
controls by the Company, including any corrective actions with regard to any
significant deficiencies or material weaknesses.
