(A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Six Months ended December 31, 2008 (Unaudited)  NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS  Organization  Empirical Ventures, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in Nevada on April 14, 2004.  The Company is a development stage company engaged in the business of commercializing the development of office system software.  Interim Reporting  While the information presented in the accompanying interim three and six months financial statements is unaudited, it includes all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  These interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the June 30, 2008 audited annual financial statements of Empirical Ventures, Inc.  All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the Companys audited June 30, 2008 annual financial statements.  Operating results for the six months ended December 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ended June 30, 2009.  NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  Recent Accounting Pronouncements  Recent accounting pronouncements that the Company has adopted or will be required to adopt in the future are summarized below.  In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements".  The objective of SFAS 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS 157 defines  fair  value,  establishes  a  framework  for  measuring  fair  value in generally accepted  accounting  principles,  and expands  disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements  and does not  require  any new fair value measurements.  The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair value    F-4   EMPIRICAL VENTURES, INC. (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Six Months ended December 31, 2008 (Unaudited)  NOTE 2-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)  measurements made in fiscal  years  beginning  after  November  15,  2007.  The adoption of this statement  is not  expected  to have a material  effect on the  Company's future reported financial position or results of operations.  In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities -Including an Amendment  of FASB  Statement  No.  115".  This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that  elect the fair  value  option.  However, the amendment  to SFAS No.  115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities"  applies to all entities with  available-for-sale  and trading  securities.  SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007.  Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements".  The adoption of this statement  is not expected to have a material  effect on the  Company's financial statements.  In June 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the FASB issued EITF Issue No.07-3, Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to be used in Future Research and Development Activities, ("EITF 07-3") which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. EITF 07-3 requires that nonrefundable   advance payments for future  research  and  development activities  be deferred and  capitalized.  Such amounts will be recognized as an expense as the goods are delivered or the related services are performed.  The Company does not expect the adoption of EITF 07-3 to have a material impact on the financial results of the Company. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R) Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)).  This Statement replaces the original FASB Statement No. 141.  This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which Statement 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. The objective of this SFAS 141(R) is to improve the relevance, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects.      F-5    EMPIRICAL VENTURES, INC. (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Six Months ended December 31, 2008 (Unaudited)  NOTE 2-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) To accomplish that, SFAS 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a. Recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. b. Recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase. c. Determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This Statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and may not be applied before that date.The Company does not expect that its adoption of SFAS 141(R) will have on its results of operations and financial condition. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements  an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160).  This Statement amends the original Accounting Review Board (ARB) No. 51 Consolidated Financial Statements to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. This Statement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and may not be applied before that date.  The Company is unable at this time to determine the effect that its adoption of SFAS 160 will have on its results of operations and financial condition. FSP FAS 123(R)-5 was issued on October 10, 2006.  The FSP  provides  that instruments  that were  originally  issued  as  employee  compensation  and then  modified, and that modification is made to the terms of the instrument solely to reflect an equity  restructuring  that  occurs  when the  holders  are no longer employees, then no change in the recognition or the measurement (due to a change in  classification)  of those  instruments  will result if both of the following conditions are met: (a). There is no increase in fair value of the award (or the ratio of intrinsic  value to the exercise price of the award is preserved,  that is, the holder is made whole), or the antidilution provision is not added to the terms of the award in  contemplation  of an equity  restructuring;  and (b). All holders of the same class of equity instruments (for example, stock options) are treated in the same manner.  The provisions in this FSP shall be applied in the first reporting period beginning after the date the FSP is posted to the FASB website.  The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 123(R)-5 to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.  F-6  EMPIRICAL VENTURES, INC.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report constitute "forward-looking statements". These statements, identified by words such as plan, "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "should," "expect" and similar expressions, include our expectations and objectives regarding our future financial position, operating results and business strategy. These statements reflect the current views of management with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include those set forth under this caption "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation" and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. We do not intend to update the forward-looking information to reflect actual results or changes in the factors affecting such forward-looking information. We advise you to carefully review the reports and documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). As used in this Quarterly Report, the terms "we", "us", "our", the Company and Empirical mean Empirical Ventures, Inc. unless otherwise indicated. All dollar amounts in this Quarterly Report are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated. Introduction The following discussion and analysis summarizes our plan of operation for the next twelve months, our results of operations for the Six-month period ended December 31, 2008. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation. Empirical Ventures, Inc. is a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Nevada on, April 14, 2004 whose principal executive offices are located in Edmonton Alberta, Canada. Our principal business is the development, marketing and of a software product called Darrwin. About Our Business We are a development stage company.  We have produced no revenues to date, and have not begun revenue producing activities.  We have had extremely limited operations and have relied on the sale of our securities and loans or capital infusions from our officers and directors to fund our operations to date. Our auditors have included in their report covering our financial statements for the period from incorporation to June 30, 2007, that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our business plan is to further develop and commercialize the Darrwin Software Program. The Darrwin Software Program, which provides reservation and support services to the hospitality and tourism industries via the internet.  We intend to become an Application Service Provider, hosting the program on our servers, and providing access and data storage from our facilities to hotels and motels, as well as civic and regional tourism bureaus in the U.S. and Canada. At the time of the acquisition our program was operational on Windows NT and Windows 2000 and capable of a full array of tourism based services, including reservation services and lodges and ticketing local sporting events and activities To date we have spent a total of $12,840 on software development, $1950 website development and other related costs. We anticipate spending approximately $235,000 in the next five months for similar purposes that are contingent on the receipt of additional funding.  2 Plan of Operation Financial Plan As of December 31, 2008 we had a cash balance $0 and have earned no revenue from operations. Since our inception on April 14, 2004 to June 30, 2006 we have raised $73,300 in equity financing via distributions of unregistered securities to Canadian investors using exemptions provided under Regulation S and under British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan Multilateral Instrument 45-103 Part 2 in Canada. During the next twelve months we will need additional funds and we are seeking these additional funds via, private placements or loans from our sole officer and director or current shareholders or potentially an initial public offering. No arrangements for additional funds have been completed. Software Development Plan We have commenced development work to upgrade the Darrwin software program. To date we accomplished the following tasks in preparation to migrate the existing code to the windows XP Professional format. To date we have: separated the original source code which was combined with other software and placed it on CD; organized and analyzed files and libraries flagging any corrupted files for repair or recovery of data; recovered or corrected any corrupted files and libraries; tested boot libraries and executable libraries in preparation for migration to XP Professional.  Originally 150 hours of programming time was budgeted for two computer scientists to complete the migration to Windows XP at a cost of $52,500. To date we have incurred approximately 214 hours of programming time by one programmer at a cost of $12,840 on the upgrade of the Darrwin software program. It is estimated we will need approximately 80 to 100 additional hours of development time at a cost of $60 per hour to complete our upgrade to Windows XP. We currently do not have enough cash on hand to complete this programming. We estimate that the migration to Widows XP will be completed by the end of 2008 and additional testing for system stability will carry on through the first quarter of 2008 and is contingent upon receipt of additional funding.  Additional upgrades include, upgrade Billing system; upgrade hotel booking system; upgrade hotel and event conformation system; upgrade airline interconnect; enhance system interface.  We will explore these additional upgrades upon completion of our upgrade to XP Professional and is contingent upon receipt of additional funding. Without additional funding, would lengthen the time frame needed to complete our business plan. Website Development Plan Our preliminary Marketing website was posted online in May 2007 with all components of the website functioning properly. The cost associated with developing the website was approximately $1,950. Our Marketing web site incorporates information about ourselves and our product. We will continue researching possible locations for a suitable test site for our software program.      3 Our test site will allow potential customers the ability to tryout the features and usability of our software prior to purchasing. We have identified the environment and method for developing the software test, and have identified companies or individuals that have the ability to complete such a software test site. We have estimated the cost of our test site to be $5,000, bringing our total cost of website development to $6,950. Currently, this site is not functioning, due to upgrades to the Darrwin software program.  Our website address on the Internet at www.darrwin-travel.com Website Hosting Plan Our website will be hosted by Network Solutions and will be charging us approximately $15 per month to host our website. Over the next twelve months the cost of hosting our website will be $180 Marketing Plan We plan to undertake the development of a logo and other art and to develop a look and feel for our brochures and web site and that we will incorporate into an advertising and marketing campaign.  We anticipate that initial marketing expenses, including travel for the first year will be approximately $50,000.  We anticipate that the marketing materials and campaign would be designed by an outside marketing consulting firm. Accounting and Audit Plan We intend to continue to have our outside consultant assist in the preparation of our quarterly and annual financial statements and have these financial statements reviewed or audited by our independent auditor. Our outside consultant charges us $1,000 to assist in the preparation of our quarterly financial statements and $2,500 to assist in the preparation of our annual financial statements. Our independent auditor charges us approximately $2,000 to review our quarterly financial statements and approximately $7,500 to audit our annual financial statements. In the next twelve months, we anticipate spending approximately $18,500 to pay for our accounting and audit requirements. SEC Filing Plan We have become a reporting company in 2007. Our SB-2 was declared effective on August 13, 2007. This means that we will file documents with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on a quarterly basis. We expect to incur filing costs of approximately $650 per quarter to support our quarterly and annual filings. In the next twelve months, we anticipate spending approximately $5,000 for legal costs to pay for three quarterly filings, one annual filing. Currently, we do not have any financing arrangements in place and there is no assurance that we will be able to achieve sufficient financing required to proceed with our plan of operation. If we do not obtain the necessary financing, then our plan of operation will be scaled back according to the amount of funds available. Our inability to raise the necessary financing may restrict our ability to complete product development and market our product.     4  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Second Quarter Summary 6 Months Ended December 31, 20082007Revenue$Nil$NIlExpenses(11,039)(10,039)Net Income (Loss)$(11,039)$(10,039) Revenues We have not earned any revenue to date and we do not anticipate earning revenue until we have completed commercial development and upgrades of our Darrwin software program. We are presently in the development stage of our business and we can provide no assurance that we will be able to complete commercial development or successfully sell or license products incorporating our Darrwin software program, once development upgrades are complete. Operating Costs and Expenses  Our expenses inecreased by $1,000 during the Six-month period ended December 31, 2008 over the same period ended December 31, 2007 This decrease is primarily the result of increases in the amount of professional fees incurred by us. In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topics 1:B and 5:T, we are required to report all costs of conducting our business.. For the Six months ended December 31, 2008, we recorded contributed executive services expenses of $.0 of services that were provided to us without charge. Subject to our ability to obtain additional financing, of which there is no assurance, we expect that our product and business development activities will continue to increase over the course of the current fiscal year. As such, we expect that our operating expenses will also continue to increase at a significant rate. We anticipate our operating expenses will increase as we undertake our plan of operations and continue to implement our business plan. The increase will be attributable to increased product and business development activities and the professional fees associated with complying with our reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act).         5  LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Working CapitalDecember 31, 2008June 30, 2008Current  Assets$9,033$ 0Current Liabilities(38,579)$43,507Working Capital (Deficit)(29,546)(43,507)  Cash Flows  Six Months Ended December 3120082007Cash Flows from (used in) Operating Activities$(11,039)(10,039)Cash Flows from (used in) Investing Activities----Cash Flows from (used in) Financing Activities25,000--Net Increase (decrease) in Cash During Period$(9,033)(9,539) The decrease in our working capital deficit at December 31, 2008 as compared to our fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 is primarily a result of the fact that we had no sources of revenue and limited sources of financing during the period. As a result, we were required to use existing cash reserves in order to meet our obligations during the period. As of December 31, 2008, the date of our most recently available financial statements, we had cash on hand of $9,033. Since our inception, we have used sales of our common stock and loans from our sole officer and director to raise money for our operations and for our acquisition. We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue our plan of operation. We anticipate spending approximately $235,000 over the next twelve months in pursuing our plan of operation. This amount is in excess of our current working capital reserves and we have not earned any revenues to date and do not anticipate earning revenues until we have completed commercial development of our product. Accordingly, we will require additional financing in order to fund our plan of operation. We anticipate that any additional financing will likely be in the form of equity financing as substantial debt financing will not be as available at this stage of our business. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to our stockholders.        6 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial statements presented with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information. These financial statements do not include all information and footnote disclosures required for an annual set of financial statements prepared under United States generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as at December 31, 2008 and for all periods presented in the attached financial statements, have been included. Interim results for the Six-month period ended December 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a whole. We have identified certain accounting policies, described below, that are most important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Foreign Currency Translation Transaction amounts denominated in foreign currencies are translated at exchange rates prevailing at transaction dates. Carrying values of monetary assets and liabilities are adjusted at each balance sheet date to reflect the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the original transaction date. Gains and losses from restatement of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are included in the statements of operations. Revenues and expenses are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates such items are recognized in the statement of operations. Contributed Executive Services Pursuant to SAB topic 1:B(1) and the last paragraph of SAB 5:T, we are required to report all costs of conducting our business. Accordingly, we record the fair value of contributed executive services provided to us at no cost as compensation expense, with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital, in the year which the services are provided.     7  RISK FACTORS Need For Financing We do not currently have the financial resources to complete our plan of operation for the next twelve months. We anticipate that we will require financing in the amount of $235,000 in order to fund our plan of operation over the next twelve months. We presently do not have any financing arrangements in place and there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. If further financing is not available or obtainable, our ability to meet our financial obligations and pursue our plan of operation will be substantially limited and investors may lose a substantial portion or all of their investment. Limited Operating History, Risks Of A New Business Venture We were incorporated on April 14, 2004 and, prior to our acquisition of Darrwin, we had been involved primarily in organizational activities and in seeking business opportunities and products. We have not earned any revenues to date. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by a new enterprise and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The potential for future success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties complications and delays encountered in connection with the development of a business in the area in which we intend to operate and in connection with the formation and commencement of operations of a new business in general. These include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to research and development programs, marketing, approvals by government agencies, competition and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that our business will prove successful, and there can be no assurance that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. Our Business Operations, Assets and Personnel Are Located Outside The United States Although we are incorporated in the United States, all of our current operating activities are conducted in, and all of our assets and personnel are located in, Canada. As such, investors in our securities may experience difficulty in enforcing judgments or liabilities against the Company or our personnel under United States securities laws.          8   Our corporate headquarters are located in Edmonton Alberta, Canada As we are a Nevada corporation, we are required to maintain a resident agent in the State of Nevada for the purpose of receiving service of process. Under Section 78.090 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, all legal process and any demand or notice authorized by law to be served upon the Company may be served upon our resident agent in Nevada. Our resident agent for this purpose is Nevada Agency and Trust 50 West Liberty Street, Suite 880 Reno Nevada 89501. As a Nevada corporation, we are subject to the laws of the United States, including the federal securities laws of the United States, and to the jurisdiction of United States courts. As such, investors may bring proceedings against us, and enforce judgments obtained against us, in United States courts. Generally, original actions to enforce liabilities under United States federal securities laws may not be brought in a Canadian court. Such actions must be brought in a court in the United States with applicable jurisdiction. Persons obtaining judgments against us in United States courts, including judgments obtained under United States federal securities laws, will then be required to bring an application in a Canadian court to enforce such judgments in Canada. Competition Is Intense And We May Be Unable To Achieve Market Acceptance The business environment in which we intend to operate is highly competitive. Currently, there exists a number of software products similar to ours and we expect to experience competition from a number of established companies involved in the software development industry. Certain of our potential competitors will have greater technical, financial, marketing, sales and other resources than us. In addition, while the software development industry is a mature one, we are unable to provide assurances that our target customers and markets will accept our technologies or will purchase our products and services in sufficient quantities to achieve profitability. If a significant market fails to develop or develops more slowly than we anticipate, we may be unable to recover the losses incurred to develop products and we may be unable to meet our operational expenses. Acceptance of our products by companies and other organizations will depend upon a number of factors, including the cost competitiveness of our products, customer reluctance to try new products or services, or the emergence of more competitive or effective products. Rapid Technological Changes  Could Make Our Product Obsolete The software development industry is characterized by rapid technological change and intense competition. New technologies, products and industry standards will develop at a rapid pace which could make our planned products obsolete. Our future success will depend upon our ability to develop and introduce product enhancements to address the needs of customers. Material delays in introducing product enhancements may cause customers to forego purchases of our product and purchase those of competitors.       9 Dependence On Key Personnel Our success will largely depend on the performance of our directors and officers and our key consultants. Our success will also depend on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled technical, research, management, regulatory compliance, sales and marketing personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense. The loss of the services of such personnel or the inability to attract and retain other key personnel could impair the development of our business, operating results and financial condition.
