**ATLANTICA, INC.**

** (A Development Stage Company)**

**Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements**

**September 30, 2010**

**NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION**

This summary of significant accounting policies of Atlantica, Inc. (the “Company”) is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. 

 

a. Organization and Business Activities 

 

The financial statements presented are those of Atlantica, Inc. The Company was incorporated in the State of Utah on March 3, 1938. The Company name at that time was Red Hills Mining Company. On February 5, 1953, the Company changed its name to Allied Oil and Minerals Company. On January 8, 1971, the Company changed its name to Community Equities Corporation. On March 26, 1996, the Company changed its name to Atlantica, Inc. 

 

The Company had two subsidiaries; Keys Equities, Inc., a Florida corporation incorporated on July 31, 1996, and Allied Equities, Inc. (“Allied”), a Florida corporation incorporated on July 15, 1996. On March 1, 1998, the Company transferred its right, title and interest in a mining claim in Utah to Allied. The mining claim had a book value of $-0-. On March 1, 1998, the Company distributed the shares of the two subsidiaries to its shareholders in a liquidating dividend. 

 

We have had no material business operations since March 7, 1997, and it was reclassified as a development stage company as of January 1, 1997. The Company’s only activity since that time has consisted of taking actions necessary to restore and preserve its good standing in the State of Utah. The Company presently has no assets. The Company intends to continue to seek out the acquisition of assets, property or a business that may be beneficial to the Company and its stockholders. In considering whether to complete any such acquisition, the Board of Directors will make the final determination and the approval of stockholders will not be sought unless required by applicable law, the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or contract. 

 

b. Accounting Method 

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a December 31 year-end. 

 

c. Estimates 

 

The preparations 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 

 

d. Cash and Cash Equivalents 

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

**Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements**

**September 30, 2010**

**NOTE 2 - LIQUIDITY / GOING CONCERN**

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not established revenues sufficient to cover its operation costs. The Company is seeking the acquisition of, or merger with, an existing operating company.  
The Company does not have significant assets, nor has it established operations and has accumulated losses since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. It is the intent of the Company to seek a merger with an existing, well-capitalized operating company. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. 

 The Company is relying on Mirabella Holdings, LLC (“Mirabella”), its majority shareholder, to pay all of our operating and other expenses until we can complete a reorganization or merger. While Mirabella currently pays the Company's limited operating and other expenses, on the Company's behalf, Mirabella is not obligated to pay any of those expenses and the Company can provide no assurance that Mirabella will continue to pay any of those expenses in the future.  Mirabella paid expenses for the Company in the amount of $6,441 during the quarter ended September 30, 2010.  Currently, any such loans that may be provided to us from time to time by Mirabella are made pursuant to a demand promissory note that has been issued by us to Mirabella, which loans are unsecured, payable on demand and bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum, compounded quarterly.  See the description of that demand promissory note contained in Part III, Item 13 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, and a copy of that note included in Part IV, Item 15 of that Report. 

**NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

There were $6,441 and $21,616 in expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, paid by Mirabella and recorded as loans by shareholders totaling $62,603 at September 30, 2010.  The accrued interest related to the outstanding loans was $1,647 and $4,304 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and $8,585 total accrued interest as of September 30, 2010.  The loans are evidenced by a promissory note, are unsecured, are due on demand and accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum, compounded quarterly.  No payments were made during the quarter ended September 30, 2010.   The note was issued by the Company on April 29, 2009 and covers all loans made by Mirabella to the Company since November 6, 2007, as well as any such loans that may be made by Mirabella in the future.  A copy of the note was filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008; see Part IV, Item 15 of that Report. 
 On April 29, 2009, the Company entered into a management services agreement (the “Management Services Agreement”) with Richland, Gordon & Company (“Richland”), a private investment firm beneficially owned by Alan D. Gordon, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and one of the Company’s directors.  Pursuant to the Management Services Agreement, Richland provides certain financial and management consulting services to the Company, including, among other things, advice regarding the Company's operations, identification of potential businesses for the Company to acquire or other suitable business combinations for the Company, and advice regarding the Company's general preparation for its initial acquisition, other business combination or financing transaction that may occur in the future.

Notes to Audited Financial Statements

**September 30, 2010**

**NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (Continued)**

 The Management Services Agreement has a term of ten years and provides for the Company to pay to Richland an annual management fee equal to the greater of (i) $120,000 or (ii) 5% of the Company's consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the agreement).  The management fee is payable in quarterly installments in arrears, on April 15, July 15, October 15 and January 15 of each year, with respect to the immediately preceding calendar quarter, equal to the greater of (i) $30,000 or (ii) 5% of the Company's consolidated EBITDA for the immediately preceding calendar quarter, with such payments commencing July 15, 2009 and covering services provided by Richland during the period from January 1, 2008 (prior to the date of the agreement) and continuing through the quarter ending September 30, 2010; however, the management fees accrue and are not initially payable to Richland until the Company’s completion of its initial acquisition or financing that occurs subsequent to the date of the agreement.  Accordingly, we accrued management fees payable to Richland totaling $30,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2010, which fees, along with any other management fees that may subsequently accrue, are due and payable to Richland if and when such an acquisition or financing is completed by the Company. 

 The Management Services Agreement also provides for the Company to pay a separate, cash transaction-based fee for investment banking services that Richland provides in connection with future acquisitions and financing transactions that may be completed by the Company.  This transaction-based fee equals 1% of the transaction value of any acquisitions or other business combinations or debt or equity financings completed by the Company subsequent to the date of the agreement; however, the amount of the initial transaction-based fee payable to Richland is reduced by the amount of all prior management fees earned by Richland under the agreement.  To date, no transaction-based fee has accrued or is otherwise payable by the Company to Richland. 

 Under the Management Services Agreement, the Company also reimburses Richland for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Richland in providing its services to the Company and indemnifies Richland and its agents and affiliates for any damages that they may suffer in connection with providing these services.  This expense reimbursement is payable on April 15, July 15, October 15 and January 15 of each year, with respect to expenses incurred by Richland during the immediately preceding calendar quarter.  To date, no such expenses have been incurred by Richland and, accordingly, no expenses have been reimbursed by the Company to Richland and no expense reimbursement obligation has been accrued or is otherwise payable by the Company. 

 A copy of the Management Services Agreement was filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008; see Part IV, Item 15 of that Report. 

**NOTE 4 – COMMON STOCK**

On January 26, 2007, the majority stockholders of the Company voted in favor of amending and restating the Company's Articles of Incorporation to change the total number of shares which the corporation shall be authorized to issue to 60,000,000 shares of capital stock, such total number of shares shall consist of 50,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value common voting stock (“Common Stock”) and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, having a par value of $0.0001 per share. The majority stockholders also approved a one for ten (1:10) reverse stock split of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares effective following notice thereof to the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD") and the subsequent advice from the NASD of its effectiveness.  The reverse stock split was effective on February 15, 2007.  The stock split is reflected on a retroactive basis.

There were no issuances of Company stock during the three month period ended September 30, 2010.

Dilutive loss per share was not presented as the Company had no common equivalent shares for all periods presented that would affect the computation of diluted loss per share.

**NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

**Contingencies -**The Company has not been active for several years.  Management believes that there are no unrecorded valid outstanding liabilities from prior operations.  If a creditor were to come forward and claim a liability, the Company has committed to contest the claim to the fullest extent of the law.  Due to various statutes of limitations and because of the likelihood that such an old liability would not still be valid no amount has been accrued in these financial statements for any such contingencies.

**NOTE 7 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS**

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements were issued, and determined there are no events to disclose.

**Item 2.** **Management’s Discussions and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.**

**Forward-looking Statements**

Statements made in this Quarterly Report, which are not purely historical, are forward-looking statements with respect to the goals, plan objectives, intentions, expectations, financial condition, results of operations, future performance and our business, including, without limitation, (i) our ability to raise capital, and (ii) statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words “may,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “expects,” “projects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “plans,” “intends,” “targets” or similar expressions.

Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements, depending upon a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control.  These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:  general economic or industry conditions; nationally and/or in the communities in which we may conduct business; changes in the interest rate environment; legislation or regulatory requirements; conditions of the securities markets; our ability to raise capital; changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines; financial or political instability; acts of war or terrorism; and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technical factors affecting our current or potential business and related matters.
Accordingly, results actually achieved may differ materially from expected results in these statements.  Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made.  We do not undertake, and specifically disclaim, any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.

**Plan of Operation**

Our plan of operation for the next 12 months is to: (i) consider guidelines of industries in which we may have an interest; (ii) adopt a business plan regarding engaging in the business of any selected industry; and (iii) to commence such operations through funding and/or the acquisition of a going concern engaged in any industry selected. 

We are not currently engaged in any substantive business activity.  In our present form, we may be deemed to be a vehicle to acquire or merge with a business or company. Regardless, the commencement of any business opportunity will be preceded by the consideration and adoption of a business plan by our Board of Directors. We do not intend to restrict our search for business opportunities to any particular business or industry, and the areas in which we will seek out business opportunities or acquisitions, reorganizations or mergers may include, but will not be limited to, the fields of high technology, manufacturing, natural resources, service, research and development, communications, transportation, insurance, brokerage, finance and all medically related fields, among others. We recognize that the number of suitable potential business ventures that may be available to our Company may be extremely limited, and may be restricted to entities who desire to avoid what such entities may deem to be the adverse factors related to an initial public offering (“IPO”). The most prevalent of these factors include substantial time requirements, legal and accounting costs, the inability to obtain an underwriter who is willing to publicly offer and sell shares, the lack of or the inability to obtain the required financial statements for such an undertaking, limitations on the amount of dilution to public investors in comparison to the stockholders of any such entities, along with other conditions or requirements imposed by various federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations and federal and state agencies that implement such laws, rules and regulations. Any of these types of transactions, regardless of the particular prospect, would require us to issue a substantial number of shares of our common stock, that could amount to as much as 95% of our outstanding securities following the completion of any such transaction; accordingly, investments in any such private enterprise, if available, would be much more favorable than any investment in our Company.

Management intends to consider a number of factors prior to making any decision as to whether to participate in any specific business endeavor, none of which may be determinative or provide any assurance of success. These may include, but will not be limited to, as applicable, an analysis of the quality of the particular entity’s management personnel; the anticipated acceptability of any new products or marketing concepts that it may have; the merit of its technological changes; its present financial condition, projected growth potential and available technical, financial and managerial resources; its working capital, history of operations and future prospects; the nature of its present and expected competition; the quality and experience of its management services and the depth of its management; its potential for further research, development or exploration; risk factors specifically related to its business operations; its potential for growth, expansion and profit; the perceived public recognition or acceptance of its products, services, trademarks and name identification; and numerous other factors which are difficult, if not impossible, to properly or accurately analyze, let alone describe or identify, without referring to specific objective criteria.
11

Regardless, the results of operations of any specific entity may not necessarily be indicative of what may occur in the future, by reason of changing market strategies, plant or product expansion, changes in product emphasis, future management personnel and changes in innumerable other factors. Further, in the case of a new business venture or one that is in a research and development mode, the risks will be substantial, and there will be no objective criteria to examine the effectiveness or the abilities of its management or its business objectives. Also, a firm market for its products or services may yet need to be established, and with no past track record, the profitability of any such entity will be unproven and cannot be predicted with any certainty.

Our management will attempt to meet personally with management and key personnel of any entity providing any potential business opportunity afforded to our Company, visit and inspect material facilities, obtain independent analysis or verification of information provided and gathered, check references of management and key personnel and conduct other reasonably prudent measures calculated to ensure a reasonably thorough review of any particular business opportunity; however, due to time constraints of management, these activities may be limited. 

We are unable to predict the time as to when and if we may actually participate in any specific business endeavor. We anticipate that proposed business ventures will be made available to us through personal contacts of directors, executive officers and principal stockholders, professional advisors, broker dealers in securities, venture capital personnel, members of the financial community and others who may present unsolicited proposals. In certain cases, we may agree to pay a finder’s fee or to otherwise compensate the persons who submit a potential business endeavor in which we eventually participate. Such persons may include our directors, executive officers and beneficial owners our securities or their affiliates. In this regard, see the description of our Management Services Agreement with Richland, Gordon & Company contained in Note 3 to the Unaudited Financial Statements dated September 30, 2010 in Part I, Item 1.  In this event, such fees may become a factor in negotiations regarding any potential venture and, accordingly, may present a conflict of interest for such individuals.

Substantial fees are often paid in connection with the completion of all types of acquisitions, reorganizations or mergers, ranging from a small amount to as much as $400,000 or more. These fees are usually divided among promoters or founders, after deduction of legal, accounting and other related expenses, and it is not unusual for a portion of these fees to be paid to members of management or to principal stockholders as consideration for their agreement to retire a portion of the shares of common stock owned by them. Members of management may actively negotiate or otherwise consent to the purchase of all or any portion of their common stock as a condition to, or in connection with, a proposed reorganization, merger or acquisition. It is not anticipated that any such opportunity will be afforded to other stockholders or that such other stockholders will be afforded the opportunity to approve or consent to any particular stock buy-out transaction. In the event that any such fees are paid, they may become a factor in negotiations regarding any potential acquisition or merger by our Company and, accordingly, may also present a conflict of interest for such individuals.  Any of these types of fees that are paid in shares of our common stock will also be subject to the resale limitations embodied in the recent amendments to Rule 144 that prohibit, among other requirements, the public resale of these shares until 12 months after the filing of the Form 10 information with the SEC.  We have no present arrangements or understandings respecting any of these types of fees or opportunities, other than pursuant to our management services agreement with Richland, Gordon & Company.   See the description of our management services agreement with Richland contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, and a copy of that agreement included in Part IV, Item 15 of that Report, with respect to, among other things, certain cash fees that may be payable by us to Richland in connection with future financings and business combinations by us.

**Liquidity**

We have no current cash resources.

We do not have any cash reserves to pay for our administrative expenses for the next 12 months.  In the event that additional funding is required in order to keep us in good standing and current in our reporting obligations, we may attempt to raise such funding through loans or through additional sales of our common stock.

**Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.**

Not required.

**Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.**

**Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures**

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.  In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.  The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also 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. 

Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were, subject to the limitations noted above, effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules, regulations and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 

**Changes in internal control over financial reporting**

Our management, with the participation of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has concluded there were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our last quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
