                         PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1.  Financial Statements.

BASIS OF REPRESENTATION

General

         The accompanying  unaudited financial  statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all
information  and footnotes  necessary for a complete  presentation  of financial
position,  results  of  operations,  cash  flows  and  stockholders'  equity  in
conformity  with generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  In the opinion of
management,  all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the
results of  operations  and  financial  position have been included and all such
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  Operating results for the quarter
ended September 30, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the results that can
be expected for the year ending December 31, 1997.


Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations.

         The  Company  has had no  operational  history and has yet to engage in
business of any kind.  All risks inherent in new and  inexperienced  enterprises
are inherent in the Company's business.  The Company has not made a formal study
of the economic potential of any business.  At the present,  the Company has not
identified any assets or business opportunities for acquisition.

         As of October,  1997,  the Company  has no  liquidity  and no presently
available capital resources, such as credit lines, guarantees, etc. and should a
merger or acquisition prove unsuccessful, it is possible that the Company may be
dissolved by the State of Nevada for failing to file reports, at which point the
Company  would no longer be a viable  corporation  under Nevada law and would be
unable to function as a legal entity.  Should  management  decide not to further
pursue its acquisition activities, management may abandon its activities and the
shares of the Company would become worthless.  However,  the Company's officers,
directors and major  shareholder  have made an oral undertaking to make loans to
the  Company  in  amounts  sufficient  to enable  it to  satisfy  its  reporting
requirements and other obligations  incumbent on it as a public company,  and to
commence,  on a limited basis, the process of investigating  possible merger and
acquisition candidates.  The Company's status as a publicly-held corporation may
enhance its ability to locate  potential  business  ventures.  The loans will be
interest  free and are  intended to be repaid at a future  date,  if or when the
Company shall have received  sufficient funds through any business  acquisition.
The loans are intended to provide for the payment of filing  fees,  printing and
copying fees and other miscellaneous fees.

         Based  on  current  economic  and  regulatory  conditions,   Management
believes that it is possible,  if not probable,  for a company like the Company,
without  assets or  liabilities,  to  negotiate a merger or  acquisition  with a
viable private company.  The opportunity arises principally  because of the high
legal  and  accounting   fees  and  the  length  of  time  associated  with  the
registration process of "going public".  However, should any of these conditions
change,  it is very possible that there would be little or no economic value for
anyone taking over control of the Company.
