1.

Nature of Operations

Glass Wave Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 25, 2004. Effective January 31, 2005, the Company acquired all the outstanding common stock of Astro Nutrition Inc. (“Astro”), a company under common control. Prior to the acquisition, the Company was a non-operating shell corporation with nominal net assets. The acquisition is a capital transaction in substance and therefore has been accounted for as a recapitalization (Note 7).

The Company is based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and its principal business is the sale of vitamins and mineral supplements via the internet. 

The Company is a development stage company.  Since inception, management has devoted most of its activities to getting an SB-2 Registration Statement (“SB-2”) declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Company’s SB-2 was declared effective on June 14, 2006.

 

 

2.

Basis of Presentation

 

The foregoing unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Regulation S-B as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").  Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2006.  In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fairstatement of the results for the interim period presented.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the Company's financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions that could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Company's financial position and results of operations.

Operating results for the nine month period ended October 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending January 31, 2007.

3.

Restricted Cash

 

A separate deposit of $NIL (January 31, 2006 - $8,780), which the Company has provided as security to the Company's bank for electronic funds transfer services and corporate VisaCard liabilities. This deposit bears interest at approximately 1.65% per annum.

Related Party Balance/Transactions

 

At October 31, 2006, the Company was indebted to the President of the Company in the amount of $115,926 (January 31, 2006 - $62,377), which is non-interest bearing, unsecured with no stated terms of repayment.

 

 

6.

Capital Stock

 

a)

On January 14, 2005, prior to the recapitalization, the Company issued 100,000 shares of its common stock at $0.001 per share for cash proceeds of $100.

 

b)

In February 2005, the Company completed two share subscription agreements with the President and a director of the Company. The Company received total proceeds of $42,500, being $0.001 per share and $0.004 per share for excess consideration over par value, for the issuance of 8,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company.

 

 

c)

In March 2005, the Company issued 3,030,000 of common stock of the Company for total proceeds of $15,150, being $0.001 per share and $0.004 per share for excess consideration over par value.

 

 

7.

Capital Transaction 

By a Share Purchase Agreement dated January 31, 2005, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Astro Nutrition Inc. (“Astro”) in consideration for the issuance of a promissory note for a nominal $100. Astro was incorporated on November 25, 2004 in British Columbia, Canada and was owned by the President of the Company. The principal business of Astro is the sale of vitamins and mineral supplements. 

Prior to the acquisition, the Company was a non-operating shell company with nominal net assets. The sole shareholder of Astro was also the sole shareholder of the Company at the time of the transaction.  Therefore, this acquisition is a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination, and has been accounted for as a recapitalization. Because Astro is deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes, the financial statements are presented as a continuation of Astro and include the results of operations of Astro since incorporation on November 25, 2004, and the results of operations of the Company since the date of acquisition on January 31, 2005. 

As at January 31, 2005, the Company had $100 of net assets which has been allocated to common stock.

At October 31, 2006, the Company had accumulated net operating losses for U.S. federal income tax purposes of $1,000, which will begin expiring in fiscal 2025. When the future utilization of some portion of the carryforwards is determined not to be “more likely than not,” a valuation allowance is provided to reduce the recorded tax benefits from such assets.

**ITEM 2.**

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.**

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report. The statements contained in this section include projections of future results and "forward-looking statements" as that term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  All statements that are included in this report, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations are disclosed in this report, including, without limitation, general business conditions.

OVERVIEW

*Corporate History*

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 12, 2004 and commenced business operations commensurate with the acquisition of Astro Nutrition on January 31, 2005.  Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Astro Nutrition, was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia on November 25, 2004.  The astronutrition.com website and the current business was initially designed by our President Chester Ku.  The website was operational in October 2004.

*Our Current Business*

Through our subsidiary, Astro Nutrition, we sell a range of health products and herbal remedies.  Astro Nutrition targets the market of health food supplements and herbal remedies by catering mainly to the European and Asian markets. We started with less than ten products and have grown to offer over 400 products from approximately 80 manufacturers.  We sell our products to customers from any country other than the United States.  Due to prohibitive regulatory costs associated with complying with United States laws and regulations, our company screens all orders****using credit card verification to determine the country of residence of the customer.  All orders by United States customers are cancelled and the funds are reimbursed to the clients’ credit card accounts.  Other than through the development of our website, our company does not actively pursue anyarrangements to increase our company's profile in any country.

As a result of our inability to generate substantial revenues from our current business plan, our company is simultaneously seeking compatible or alternate business opportunities with established business entities for the merger of a target business with our company.  In certain instances, a target business may wish to become a subsidiary of us or may wish to contribute assets to us rather than merge.  We anticipate that any new acquisition or business opportunity by our company will require additional financing.  There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to acquire the financing necessary to enable us to pursue such an acquisition or opportunity.  If our company requires additional financing and we are unable to acquire such funds, our business may fail.

The search for new business opportunities, and any due diligence required in connection with such business opportunities, will be undertaken by our President, who is not a professional business analyst.  In seeking or analyzing prospective business opportunities, our President may utilize the services of outside consultants or advisors.  Management does not have the capacity to conduct as extensive an investigation of a target business as might be undertaken by a venture capital fund or similar institution.  As a result, management may elect to merge with a target business which has one or more undiscovered shortcomings and may, if given the choice to select among target businesses, fail to enter into an agreement with the most investment-worthy target business.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

*Results of Operations – Three Months Ended October 31, 2006 Compared to Three Months Ended October 31, 2005*

Revenues were $347,691 for the three month period ended October 31, 2006, compared with $214,443 for the three month period ended October 31, 2005.  The increase in revenues during this period reflects the increasing popularity and usage of our website that has generated increased sales of our products.  

Cost of goods sold was $142,828, or 41% of revenues, for the three month period ended October 31, 2006, compared with $78,220, or 37% of revenues, for the three month period ended October 31, 2005.  Our company purchases products from our major supplier at prices that are affected by the discount rate from that supplier.  The discount depends upon the particular product and its wholesale cost.  Our company receives a 30% discount on higher margin products and as low as a 10% discount on lower margin products.  Our company incurred a higher cost of goods during the three months ended October 31, 2006 as a result of selling a greater mix of products and from an increased volume of products with a lower discount rate from our suppliers.

Total expenses were $150,358 for the three month period ended October 31, 2006, compared with $166,213 for the three month period ended October 31, 2005.  Advertising expense increased significantly to $100,026 during the three month period ended October 31, 2006, compared with $66,998 during the three month period ended October 31, 2005.  We anticipate that we will continue to incur higher advertising expenses in order to market our products through our website and higher consultant costs in order to operate our company with minimal employees.  Additionally, subcontracting expense was $23,498 during the three month period ended October 31, 2006, compared with $20,844 during the three months ended October 31, 2005.  Accounting expenses decreased to $4,836 during the three month period ended October 31, 2006, compared to $19,502 for the three month period ended October 31, 2005.  Office and general expensesincreased to $9,801 for the three month period ended October 31, 2006, compared to $5,695 for the three month period ended October 31, 2005.  

We reported a net income of $34,399 for the three month period ended October 31, 2006, compared with a net loss of $18,628 for the three month period ended October 31, 2005.  

*Results of Operations – Nine Months Ended October 31, 2006 Compared to Nine Months Ended October 31, 2005*

Revenues were $949,337 for the nine month period ended October 31, 2006, compared with $545,451 for the nine month period ended October 31, 2005.  The increase in revenues during this period reflects the increasing popularity and usage of our website that has generated increased sales of our products.  

Cost of goods sold was $420,875, or 44% of revenues, for the nine month period ended October 31, 2006, compared with $208,822, or 38% of revenues, for the nine month period ended October 31, 2005.  Our company purchases products from our major supplier at prices that are affected by the discount rate from that supplier.  The discount depends upon the particular product and its wholesale cost.  Our company receives a 30% discount on higher margin products and as low as a 10% discount on lower margin products.  Our company incurred a higher cost of goods during the nine months ended October 31, 2006 as a result of selling a greater mix of products and from an increased volume of products with a lower discount rate from our suppliers.

Total expenses were $418,311 for the nine month period ended October 31, 2006, compared with $243,887 for the nine month period ended October 31, 2005.  Advertising expense increased significantly to $248,957 during the nine month period ended October 31, 2006, compared with $94,353 during the nine month period ended October 31, 2005.  We anticipate that we will continue to incur higher advertising expenses in order to market our products through our website and higher consultant costs in order to operate our company with minimal employees.  Additionally, subcontracting expense was $66,816 during the nine month period ended October 31, 2006, compared with $23,522 during the nine months ended October 31, 2005.  Accounting expenses increased slightly to $30,301 for the nine month period ended October 31, 2006, compared to $28,458 for the nine month period ended October 31, 2005.  Office and general expensesincreased to $34,303 for the nine month period ended October 31, 2006, compared to $17,516 for the nine month period ended October 31, 2005.

We reported a net income of $67,683 for the nine month period ended October 31, 2006, compared with a net income of $57,054 for the nine month period ended October 31, 2005.  

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

*Capital Expenses and Sources of Funds*

We anticipate that we will expend approximately $144,000 to $183,000 on our business during the twelve month period ending October 31, 2007 to finance working capital and pay for operating expenses and capital requirements.  These expenditures are broken down as follows:

Estimated  Capital Expenditures During the Twelve Month Period Ended October 31, 2007

Operating  expenditures

 

Marketing

$110,000 - $125,000

General and Administrative

$8,000 - $16,000

Legal

$12,000 - $16,000

Website development costs

$10,000

Working capital

$4,000 - $16,000

Total

$144,000 - $183,000

Our cash on hand as at October 31, 2006 was $105,484, compared to $65,425 as at January 31, 2006.  As at October 31, 2006, we had working capital of $134,780, compared to working capital of $55,260 as at January 31, 2006.  We anticipate that the funds generated from ongoing operations and our cash on hand may enable us to address our minimum current and ongoing expenses for the twelve month period ending October 31, 2007, continue with marketing and promotion activity connected with the development and marketing of our health products and limited expansion of our website.

If our cash on hand and income from operations do not cover our operating expenses or if we require any additional monies during the twelve month period ending October 31, 2007, we plan to raise such additional capital primarily through credit facilities from our directors and shareholders and additional private placements of our equity securities to our directors and shareholders or new shareholders.  The issuance of additional equity securities by us may result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current shareholders.  As our company anticipates that we have sufficient funds for the twelve month period ending October 31, 2007, our company has not yet pursued such financing options.  If additional financing is required, we can offer no assurance that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations or that additional financing will be available to us whenneeded or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms.  If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.

The continuation of our business is dependent upon successful and sufficient market acceptance of our health products, the continuing successful promotion of our website, and finally, maintaining a break even or profitable level of operations.  The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders.  Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, would increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

*Operating Activities*

Operating activities provided cash of $29,879 for the nine month period ended October 31, 2006, compared to providing cash of $45,255 for the nine month period ended October 31, 2005. The decrease in cash received during the nine month period ended October 31, 2006 was largely the result of higher inventory costs, increased accounts payable, and an increase in amounts due to a related party.

*Investing Activities*

Investing activities provided cash of $8,780 for the nine month period ended October 31, 2006 as a result of the purchase of certain investments.  Investing activities used cash of $11,261 for the nine month period ended October 31, 2005.

*Financing Activities*

Financing activities provided cash of $Nil for the nine month period ended October 31, 2006, compared with $57,650 for the nine month period ended October 31, 2005.  During the year ended January 31, 2006, our company issued 11,630,000 shares of common stock through private placements that raised $57,650.

On February 21, 2005, we issued 6,500,000 shares to Chester Ku at an offering price of $0.005 per share for gross offering proceeds of $32,500 in an offshore transaction relying on Rule 903 of Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933. Chester Ku is not a U.S. person as that term is defined in Regulation S.

On February 22, 2005 we issued 2,000,000 shares to Bianca Knop at an offering price of $0.005 per share for gross offering proceeds of $10,000 in an offshore transaction relying on Rule 903 of Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933. Bianca Knop is not a U.S. person as that term is defined in Regulation S.

On March 1, 2005, we issued 3,030,000 common shares to 32 subscribers at an offering price of $0.005 per share for gross offering proceeds of $15,150 in an offshore transaction relying on Rule 903 of Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933.  None of the subscribers were U.S. persons as that term is defined in Regulation S. 

*Future Operations*

Our primary objectives in the twelve month period ending October 31, 2007 include further development and expansion of our product line. We intend on expanding our line to over 500 sports nutrition, herbal, health and well-being products. Management believes that some of the keys to our success include an increased breadth of products as well as the continuation of our high margins and increasing our product and website marketing expenditures.  We plan on releasing more HTML content in the next 12 months, such as newsletters, that will enhance our visibility in the marketplace.  We plan to implement Paymentech's internet merchant gateway with our website shopping cart, Zen Cart.  This will enable us to take direct control over payment functionality and take advantage of merchant discount rates starting at 1.9%.

*Nutrition Supplement Revenue*

The astronutrition.com website commenced selling products in October, 2004 which enabled our company to generate $347,691 in revenue from the sale of supplements during the three month period ended October 31, 2006 and $214,443 in revenue during the three month period ended October 31, 2005.  We plan to increase our link popularity in the next twelve months and our expectation is that this will contribute to increased unique visitors. We intend on placing a links tab on the www.astronutrition.com index page. Well-placed links represent a good source of consistent and targeted search engine traffic. Most search engines now factor link popularity into their relevancy algorithms. As a result, increasing the number of quality, relevant sites which link to our site can improve our search engine ranking.

Weight loss products represented a majority of our revenue for the three month period ended October 31, 2006.  Management's goal is to decrease reliance on this revenue source and increase sales of our other products.  We intend on reaching this goal by running monthly specials on non-weight loss categories of products.

Sales are processed through PayPal and World Pay.  These companies facilitate electronic payments over the 

 

 

- 12 -

 

internet in exchange for a transaction fee.  Our "User Agreement" with PayPal is a contract between Astro Nutrition and PayPal and relates to our use of the PayPal payment service and the services provided to us by PayPal. Sales through PayPal are transferred on the last day of each month.

*Promotion*

We currently promote our website on the internet through search engines, link exchanges and paid internet advertising. Paid internet advertising includes banner ad placement and sponsored listings on niche portal sites that provide directory style listings of nutrition supplements. It also includes pay-per-click text link advertising on several search engines, offered through Overture, a Yahoo! company.  We have spent $100,026 on advertising for the three month period ended October 31, 2006 as compared to $66,998 during the three month period ended October 31, 2005.  We anticipate spending approximately $10,000 per month on pay-per-click advertising and banner ad placement during the twelve month period ending October 31, 2007.

Our customer loyalty rewards program offers new customers $9.13 (£5) off their next purchase of $36.52 (£20) or greater. These "Astro bucks" are inserted in each package that is sent to a customer and is intended to generate brand and loyalty recognition.  Muscletalk.co.uk members receive 10% off their total purchase.  Other future promotions may include "free shipping" or "25% discount" coupons.

*Research and Development*

Approximately 500 hours was spent by our company's personnel on the design and implementation of Version 2.0 of our website.  Development of additional modules to our site is an ongoing project.  We are currently developing a new customer interface.  The design of the new home page was designed at a cost of approximately $2,500 by Thinkprofits.com and is being implemented by our company and HBH Consulting.  HBH Consulting billed us $51.00 per hour pursuant to a verbal agreement for their consulting and programming services.  In fiscal 2007, we plan on adding unique articles written specifically for astronutrition.com customers.  Feature articles may include contributions from clinical herbal therapists, personal trainers, doctors, nurses, nutritionists and group fitness instructors.  Capitalizing on the diverse resources available to Astro Nutrition, we seek to educate and enhance the users' shoppingexperience.  We anticipate entering into verbal contracts with such individuals whereby our company will pay such writers $40 per article which will be available on our website.  Our monthly newsletter budget is set at $160 per month. We have had informal conversations with several contacts within the industry including nurses, doctors and personal trainers and we believe we will be able to provide sufficient articles.  To date, however, we have not entered into any contracts with such individuals.  We expect to spend $20,000 during the twelve month period ending October 31, 2007 to develop our website and support the new products anticipated for release.  We expect the useful life of the website to be approximately three years.

No costs other than $750 spent on graphics work for the reporting interface and our personnel costs were incurred for Version 2.0 of our website. Our company's personnel have invested approximately 300 hours to date into product and information development for Astro Nutrition's future releases. It is expected that our company's personnel will invest an additional 300 hours to get new products and articles onsite, in addition to $795 contracting fees for graphical work to support improvement in the user interfaces. Our company intends to sub-contract the graphical work to independent parties as required and our company does not anticipate that we will have any delays or problems associated with identifying and hiring firms to carry out our graphical work.  We anticipate that such work will be conducted on an as-needed basis based upon a verbal agreement.  An additional $1,590 may be spent on softwareupgrades, specifically accounting and digital imaging products during the twelve month period ending October 31, 2007.

*Capital Expenditures*

We do not anticipate that we will expend any significant amount on equipment for our present or future operations. We may, however, purchase computer hardware and software for our ongoing operations.

*Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements*

Our company has no outstanding derivative financial instruments, off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts.  Our company does not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States.  Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's application of accounting policies.  We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our consolidated financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financials.

*Foreign Currency Translation*

Our company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar.  The financial statements of our company are translated to United States dollars under the current rate method in accordance with SFAS No. 52 "Foreign Currency Translation".  Under the current rate method, all assets and liabilities are translated at the current rate, while stockholders' equity accounts are translated at the appropriate historical rate.  The revenues and expenses that occur evenly over the period are translated at the weighted-average rate for the period.  The cumulative translation adjustments balance is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.  Sales are denominated in currencies other than our company's functional currency.  Gains and losses arising on settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.  Our company has not, to the date ofthese financials statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

*Revenue Recognition*

Our company recognizes revenue from the sale of products and services in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 ("SAB 104"), "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements."  Revenue consists of sales of vitamins and mineral supplements and are recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed or products shipped, and our ability to collect payment is reasonably assured.

Our company does not offer sales rebates to customers; however, it has a 30-day return policy.  An allowance for estimated returns applied against sales revenue to reflect estimated returns that occur until the 30-day return period expires.  To date, the estimated return allowance has been reasonable with no change in estimate required.

Trade accounts receivable relate to the sale of vitamins and mineral supplements.  Our company sells to customers based on standard credit policies and regularly reviews accounts receivable for any bad debts.  As of October 31, 2006, no allowance for doubtful accounts was considered necessary.

RISK FACTORS

Much of the information included in this quarterly report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other "forward looking statements".  Such forward looking statements include any projections or estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations.  While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein.

Such estimates, projections or other "forward looking statements" involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below.  We caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other "forward looking statements".

 

 

- 14 -

 

 

Our common shares are considered speculative during the development of our new business operations.  Prospective investors should consider carefully the risk factors set out below.

**Risks Associated With our Business**

*We have had limited income from operations and if we are not able to increase such income or obtain further financing, we may be forced to scale back or cease operations or our business operations may fail.*

To date we have not generated significant income from our operations and we have been dependent on sales of our equity securities to meet the majority of our cash requirements.  We generated net income of $74,708 on $1,750,508 in revenue from November 25, 2004, the date of inception, to October 31, 2006 and net income of $34,399 on $347,691 in revenue during the three month period ended October 31, 2006.  We had working capital of $134,780 as at October 31, 2006 and working capital of $55,260 as at January 31, 2006.  We estimate that we will require between $144,000 and $183,000 for capital expenditures during the twelve month period ending October 31, 2007.  Because our working capital may not cover all of our estimated expenditures during this time, we will be dependent upon generating net income from operations to cover the difference.  As we cannot predict whether our company will generate suchfunds, we may need to raise additional funds from an equity or debt financing to continue to develop our website to respond to competitive pressures, to sign distribution agreements with manufacturers and suppliers of health products or to respond to unanticipated requirements or expenses.  The issuance of additional equity securities will result in the dilution in the equity interests of our current shareholders and obtaining loans, assuming such loans are available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.  If we are not able to generate significant revenues from the sale of health food supplements, we will not be able to maintain our operations or achieve a profitable level of operations.

*We have only commenced our business operations in January, 2005 and we have a limited operating history.  If we cannot successfully manage the risks normally faced by start-up companies, we may not achieve profitable operations and ultimately our business may fail.*

We have a limited operating history.  Our operating activities since our incorporation on May 12, 2004 consisted primarily of acquiring a health products retail company, which acquisition occurred on January 31, 2005, and continuing to market health related products.  On January 31, 2005, we acquired all the outstanding shares in Astro Nutrition, a British Columbia, Canada company which retails health products and herbal remedies through its website at www.astronutrition.com.  Astro Nutrition was incorporated on November 25, 2004.  We are continuing to develop and expand our website and the products we offer.  Our prospects are subject to the risks and expenses encountered by start up companies, such as uncertainties regarding our level of future revenues and our inability to budget expenses and manage growth accordingly and our inability to access sources of financing when required and at ratesfavorable to us.  Our limited operating history and the highly competitive nature of the health products industry make it difficult or impossible to predict future results of our operations.  We may not establish a clientele that will make us profitable, which may result in the loss of some or all of your investment in our common stock.

*We may need to raise additional funds in the near future. If we are not able to obtain future financing when required, we might be forced to scale back or cease operations or discontinue our business.*

We do not currently have any arrangements for financing and we can provide no assurance to investors we will be able to find such financing when such funding is required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including investor acceptance of our website and our business model.  Furthermore, there is no assurance that we will not incur further debt in the future, that we will have sufficient funds to repay our future indebtedness or that we will not default on our future debts, thereby jeopardizing our business viability. Finally, we may not be able to borrow or raise additional capital in the future to meet our needs or to otherwise provide the capital necessary to maintain our operations, which might result in the loss of some or all of your investment in our common stock.

Our company estimates that our capital expenditures for the twelve month period ending October 31, 2007 will be between approximately $144,000 and $183,000.  As of October 31, 2006, we had working capital of $134,780.  We estimate that our working capital and income from operations may be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements for the twelve month period ending October 31, 2007.  However, there is no assurance that actual cash requirements 

 

 

- 15 -

 

will not exceed our estimates.  In particular, additional capital may be required in the event that:

- we incur unexpected costs in expanding our website or encounter any unexpected technical or other difficulties;

- we incur delays and additional expenses as a result of technology failure;

- we are unable to create a substantial market for our products;

- we incur any significant unanticipated expenses; or

- our net income decreases from occurrences such as increased cost of goods, decreased demand for products, increased competition or increases in regulatory restrictions.

The occurrence of any of the aforementioned events could prevent us from pursuing our business plan, expanding our business operations and ultimately achieving a profitable level of such operations.

In the event that our working capital and income from operations fails to meet our cash requirements, we may need to raise additional funds from an equity or debt financing in order to continue our operations.  Such outside capital may include the sale of additional stock and/or commercial borrowing.  There can be no assurance that capital will continue to be available if necessary to meet these continuing development costs or, if the capital is available, that it will be on terms acceptable to us.  The issuance of additional equity securities by us will result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders.  Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.

If we are unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable to us, we may not be able to expand or continue our health product sales operations and so may be forced to scale back or cease operations or discontinue our business.

*Our company has entered into several verbal agreements, including one with a supplier who we purchase a significant amount of our products from.  Our company may become subject to a dispute over the terms and interpretations of such verbal agreements and we may be unsuccessful or unable to bring a legal claim against such parties and any claim brought against us may be difficult to defend.*

Currently, we have entered into a verbal agreement with one supplier who has supplied our company with a majority of the products we have sold through our website during the three month period ended October 31, 2006.  We have also entered into additional verbal agreements including a sub-lease agreement for the office space that serves as our main operating facility, consulting and programming agreements and a verbal bridge loan between Mr. Ku and Astro Nutrition.  Our company intends to enter into verbal agreements in the future to retain certain graphical services for our website and to retain consultants to prepare articles for our website.  Our company does not intend to formalize such verbal agreements to writing and, as a result, our company may become subject to a dispute over the terms and interpretations of such verbal agreements.  If our company becomes subject to a dispute in regards to theterms and interpretations of such verbal agreements, it may be difficult for our company to demonstrate that such agreements are based upon our particular interpretation of such terms.  As a result, it may be difficult for our company to enforce any terms of the verbal agreements in circumstances where the other contracting party disagrees with our interpretation.  We may therefore be unable or unsuccessful in bringing legal claims against parties we have contracted with if we determine such parties have breached the agreements.  Alternatively, any legal claim brought against us may be difficult to defend due to the fact that there is a lack of written material to substantiate a defence.  Any litigation, whether successful or unsuccessful, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of resources.  Any claims, by or against us, could be time consuming and costly to defend or litigate, divert our attention and resources and result in increased costs to our company.

*Our company relies on a supplier who supplies our company with a significant percentage of the products we sell and as a result, we could be adversely affected by changes in the cost of the suppliers' products, the financial condition of the supplier or by the deterioration or termination of our relationship with the supplier.*

Our largest supplier, Body Energy Club, supplied our company with a majority of the products that our company sold during the three month period ended October 31, 2006.  A significant decline in our supplier's financial condition, a material rise in the cost of its prices or a reduction in the number of products currently available could adversely affect our results of operations.  In addition, if our existing relationship with Body Energy Club deteriorates or is terminated in the future, and we are not successful in establishing a relationship with an alternative supplier at prices and for products currently offered by Body Energy Club, our results of operations could be adversely affected.

*We have entered into third-party supplier agreements which are based upon standard contractual terms that include fluctuating prices and inventory levels that cannot be assured.  In the event that our company purchases a greater percentage of our products from such suppliers, our company will be subject to continued exposure to negative price and inventory fluctuations that may have a material adverse effect on the revenues and income of our company.*

Although our company currently purchases a significant amount of the products we distribute from one supplier, we are attempting to reduce our reliance on this supplier by purchasing products from other third-party suppliers.  It is common practice in the industry to establish contractual relationships with suppliers by agreeing to the supplier's standard contractual terms.  To date, we have entered into ten supplier agreements.  Other than our oral agreement with Body Energy Club, all of our supplier agreements are based upon a relationship that does not require our company to enter into written agreements to purchase the respective supplier's products.  By purchasing their products, customers agree to the respective supplier's standard contractual terms including price, inventory, risk and delivery.  Even if customers enter into written contractual relationships with suppliers, it is commonplace in ourindustry for the supplier to insist on similar fluctuating price and inventory provisions.  Our company will continue to be subject to fluctuating prices and inventory levels that cannot be assured.  In the event that wholesale prices rise, our company may be forced to pass those costs on to our customers which may reduce our revenues as a result of a decrease in the volume of sales or our company's net income may be reduced from an increase in costs of goods sold if we continue to sell at current prices.  In the event we are not able to purchase products due to inventory shortages from our suppliers, our revenues from product sales will be reduced and our company's operations will be adversely affected.

*All of our assets and all of our directors and officers are outside the United States, with the result that it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against us or any of our directors or officers.*

All of our assets are located outside the United States and we do not currently maintain a permanent place of business within the United States.  In addition, all of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons' assets are located outside the United States.  As a result, it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against us or our officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof.  Consequently, you may be effectively prevented from pursuing remedies under U.S. federal securities laws against them.

*If we are unable to protect our internet domain name, our efforts to increase public recognition of our brand may be impaired.*

We currently hold the internet domain name "astronutrition.com".  The acquisition and maintenance of domain names generally is regulated by governmental agencies and their designees.  The regulation of domain names in Canada and in foreign countries is subject to change.  As a result, we may be unable to acquire or maintain relevant domain names in all countries in which we intend to conduct business.  This could impair our efforts to build brand recognition and to increase traffic to our website and sales.  Furthermore, the relationship between regulations governing domain names and laws protecting trademarks and similar proprietary rights is unclear.  Therefore, we may be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring domain names that are similar to our domain names, and 

 

 

- 17 -

 

infringing upon or otherwise decreasing the value of any future trademarks or other proprietary rights that we may develop.  We may need to bring legal claims to enforce or protect such intellectual property rights.  Any litigation, whether successful or unsuccessful, could result in substantial costs and diversions of resources.  Any claims, by or against us, could be time consuming and costly to defend or litigate, divert our attention and resources and result in the loss of goodwill associated with our trade names.

*The establishment and maintenance of brand identity of our website and health products is critical to our future success.  If we are unable to provide competitive health products or otherwise fail to promote and maintain our brands, we may never achieve a profitable level of operations.*

We offer health products on our website.  Since we expect that in the future, substantially all of our revenues will be generated from product sales through our website, market acceptance of our website is critical to our future success.  Factors such as market positioning, the availability and price of competing health products, and the introductions of new products will affect the market acceptance of our health products.

We believe that establishing and maintaining brand identity of our website will help increase the awareness of our health products.  Promotion of our products will depend largely on our success in continuing to provide a high quality online website.  In order to attract and retain consumers of our products and to promote and maintain our brand in response to competitive pressures, we may increase our financial commitment to creating and maintaining a distinct brand loyalty among our consumers.  If we are unable to provide high quality, competitively priced health products, or otherwise fail to promote and maintain our brand, incur excessive expenses in an attempt to improve, or promote and maintain our brand, we will not achieve profitable operations and you may lose some or all of your investment in our common stock.

*We currently do not have any intellectual property rights.  If we are unable to protect our "Astro Nutrition" trade name and products, our efforts to increase public recognition of our "Astro Nutrition" brand may be impaired and we may be required to incur substantial costs to protect our name and products.*

We have not made any applications for the protection of our intellectual property rights.  As a consequence we may not be able to prevent the unauthorized use of our "Astro Nutrition" trade name and products.  We may be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring and using names or products that are similar to, infringe upon or otherwise decrease the value of our name, our products, and other proprietary rights that we may hold.  We may need to bring legal claims to enforce or protect any intellectual property rights that we assert.  Any litigation, whether successful or unsuccessful, could result in substantial costs and diversions of resources.  Any claims, by or against us, could be time consuming and costly to defend or litigate, divert our attention and resources and result in the loss of goodwill associated with our trade name and products.

*If our operations are disrupted by technological or other problems, we may not be able to generate revenues from the sale of our products.*

Our systems could be overwhelmed or could fail for any number of reasons.  We currently promote and sell our product exclusively through the internet.  Heavy usage volumes could cause significant backlogs or could cause our systems to fail.  We may not be able to expand and upgrade our technology and network hardware and software to accommodate increased usage by our customers on a timely basis.  Also, our systems, and those of the third parties on which we depend, may not operate properly in the event of: 

- a hardware or software error, failure or crash;

- a power or telecommunications failure;

- human error; or

- a fire, flood or other natural disaster.

 

- 18 -

 

Our systems may be more likely to suffer problems while we implement upgrades to our network hardware and software. Additionally, our computer systems and those of the third parties on which we depend may be vulnerable to damage or interruption due to sabotage, computer viruses or other criminal activities or security breaches.

The computer servers which house the data storage and software of our company are housed at the data center of Groovy Web Services, a non-related, Vancouver based company.  If the systems of this company slow down significantly or fail even for a short time, our customers would suffer delays in data access.  These delays could damage our reputation and cause customers to choose other health product vendors.  We currently do not have any property and business interruption insurance to compensate us for all losses we may incur.  If any of these circumstances occur, then our ongoing operations may be harmed to the extent that we will be unable to sell our products through our website and  as a result you may lose some or all of your investment in our common stock.

*Because we face intense competition, an investment in our company is highly speculative.*

Our domain name "www. astronutrition.com" and our health products are critical to our success.  The health product industry is characterized by intense and substantial competition.  We believe that our website will have to compete with large and established companies such as "bodybuilding.com" and "herbalremedies.com" (information on these websites and the companies that operate them does not form part of this report), as well as other small to medium sized internet retailers of health products.

These existing and future competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or changing opportunities, technologies and customer requirements than us and may be able to undertake more extensive promotional activities, offer more attractive terms to customers and adopt more aggressive pricing policies than we do.  Increased competition by these existing and future competitors will negatively affect our ability to maintain or expand our operations, or achieve profitability.  

*New or amended government regulation in our home or foreign jurisdictions could adversely impact our business and operations.*

We may be subject to additional laws and regulations or a change in the current laws and regulations by Health Canada in regards to our Canadian operations and other national, regional and local laws by any foreign jurisdiction that we sell our products into.  In addition, we may be subject to more stringent interpretations of current laws or regulations.  We are unable to predict the nature of such laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, nor can we predict what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative orders, when and if promulgated, would have on our business in the future.  We also cannot predict what effect these regulations, and the related publicity from promulgation of such regulations, could have on consumer perceptions related to the market for our products.  Our company and our customers depend on positive publicity as it relates to the efficacy and overall healthbenefits derived from certain products we sell.  Any negative publicity could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.  If any new regulations are promulgated within Canada, we may be forced to abandon the sale of some of our products.  Our failure to comply with applicable laws within Canada could result in, among others, injunctions, recalls, product seizures and fines. 

We sell products to foreign jurisdictions, other than the United States, where our customers are subject to foreign regulation.  Although compliance with such foreign governmental regulation is the responsibility of our customers, such regulations may prevent, delay or prohibit entry of our products into such jurisdiction or may impose additional costs, taxes and duties to the retail cost of our products which may deter potential customers from ordering our products.  Any prohibition of our products from such foreign jurisdictions, any adverse change in existing regulation, or any imposition of new regulations, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

*We depend on Chester Ku and Bianca Knop as the directors and officers of our company to operate our business and if either of these individuals leaves our company and we are unable to hire and replace such persons with qualified personnel, our results of operations will be adversely effected in a material manner.*

Our president, secretary, treasurer and director, Chester Ku, handles all of the responsibilities in the area of corporate administration, business development and research.  Ms. Bianca Knop was appointed vice-president on 

 

 

- 19 -

 

January 1, 2005 and a director on February 22, 2005.  In addition, Mr. Ku has also provided us with capital raising services.  The loss of the services of any of these directors, executive officers or key personnel, or the inability to identify, hire, train and retain other qualified directors, executive officers or personnel in the future would have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition and operating results.  We do not maintain any life insurance policies on any of these directors, executives, or key personnel for our benefit.  

*Bianca Knopp, one of our directors and officers, is engaged in other business activities and accordingly may not devote sufficient time to our business affairs, which may affect our ability to conduct operations and generate revenues.*

One of our directors and officers is involved in other business activities.  Bianca Knop, our Vice-President and director, is employed full time as a freelance fitness consultant.  As a result of this other business activity that Ms. Knop is involved in, she may not be able to devote sufficient time to our business affairs, which may negatively affect our ability to conduct our ongoing operations and our ability to generate revenues.

*Because our officers, directors and principal shareholders control a majority of our common stock, investors will have little or no control over our management or other matters requiring shareholder approval.*

Our officers and directors, in the aggregate, beneficially own 73.95% of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock.  As a result, they have the ability to control matters affecting minority shareholders, including the election of our directors, the acquisition or disposition of our assets, and the future issuance of our shares. Because our officers, directors and principal shareholders control our company, investors will not be able to replace our management if they disagree with the way our business is being run.  Because control by these insiders could result in management making decisions that are in the best interest of those insiders and not in the best interest of the investors, you may lose some or all of the value of your investment in our common stock. 

*Because we do not have sufficient insurance to cover our business losses, we might have uninsured losses, increasing the possibility that you would lose your investment.*

We may incur uninsured liabilities and losses as a result of the conduct of our business.  We do not currently maintain any comprehensive liability or property insurance. Even if we obtain such insurance in the future, we may not carry sufficient insurance coverage to satisfy potential claims.  We do not carry any business interruption insurance.  Should uninsured losses occur, any purchasers of our common stock could lose their entire investment.

*Because we can issue additional common shares, purchasers of our common stock may incur experience dilution.*

We are authorized to issue up to 75,000,000 common shares, of which 11,630,000 are issued and outstanding.  Our board of directors has the authority to cause our company to issue additional shares of common stock without the consent of any of our shareholders.  Consequently, our shareholders may experience dilution in their ownership of our common shares in the future.  

**Risks associated with our common stock**

*There is no active trading market for our common stock and if a market for our common stock does not develop, our investors will be unable to sell their shares.*

There is currently no active trading market for our common stock and such a market may not develop or be sustained.  We have initiated steps to have our common stock quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers Inc.'s OTC Bulletin Board.  In order to do this, a market maker must file a Form 15c-211 to allow the market maker to make a market in our shares of common stock.  However, we cannot provide our investors with any assurance that our common stock will be traded on the OTC Bulletin Board or on any other exchange and, if traded, that a public market will materialize.  Further, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a listing service or exchange, but is instead a dealer quotation service for subscribing members.  If our common stock is not quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or if a public market for our common stock does not develop, then investors may not be able to resell the shares of our commonstock that they have purchased and may lose all of their investment. If we establish a trading 

 

 

- 20 -

 

market for our common stock, the market price of our common stock may be significantly affected by factors such as actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operation results, general market conditions and other factors. In addition, the stock market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices for the shares of developmental stage companies, which may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. 

*Because we do not intend to pay any dividends on our common shares, investors seeking dividend income or liquidity should not purchase shares of our common stock.*

We do not anticipate declaring and paying dividends to our shareholders in the near future.  It is our current intention to apply net earnings, if any, in the foreseeable future to increasing our working capital. Prospective investors seeking or needing dividend income or liquidity should, therefore, not purchase our common stock.  To date, we have generated limited income from revenues.  As a result, there can be no assurance that we will ever have sufficient earnings to declare and pay dividends to the holders of our shares, and in any event, a decision to declare and pay dividends is at the sole discretion of our board of directors, who currently do not intend to pay any dividends on our common shares for the foreseeable future. 

*Our stock is a penny stock.  Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC's penny stock regulations which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.*

Our stock is a penny stock.  The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors".  The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse.  The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in aform prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.  The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.  The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation.  In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement tothe transaction.  These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules.  Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities.  We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

*NASD sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.*

In addition to the "penny stock" rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the NASD has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer.  Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information.  Under interpretations of these rules, the NASD believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers.  The NASD requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have anadverse effect on the market for our shares.

**CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.**

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by the quarterly report, being October 31, 2006, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our company's disclosure controls and procedures.  This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our company's management, including our company's President (who acts as our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer).  Based upon that evaluation, our company's President concluded that our company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective as at the end of the period covered by this report. There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internalcontrols over financial reporting. 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company's reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company's reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our company's President, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
