FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are “forward-looking statements” (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) regarding the plans and objectives of management for future operations. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements of SRKP 23, Inc. (the “Company”) to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. The Company's plans and objectives are based, in part, on assumptions involving the continued expansion of business. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Although the Company believes its assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance the forward-looking statements included in this Report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives and plans of the Company will be achieved.

PART I

Item 1. Description of Business.

SRKP 23, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 11, 2007. Since inception, the Company has been engaged in organizational efforts and obtaining initial financing. The Company was formed as a vehicle to pursue a business combination and has made no efforts to identify a possible business combination. As a result, the Company has not conducted negotiations or entered into a letter of intent concerning any target business. The business purpose of the Company is to seek the acquisition of, or merger with, an existing company. The Company selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The Company is currently considered to be a "blank check" company. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) defines those companies as "any development stage company that is issuing a penny stock, within the meaning of Section 3 (a)(51) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and that has no specific business plan or purpose, or has indicated that its business plan is to merge with an unidentified company or companies." Under SEC Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, the Company also qualifies as a “shell company,” because it has no or nominal assets (other than cash) and no or nominal operations. Many states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of securities of "blank check" companies in their respective jurisdictions. Management does not intend to undertake any efforts to cause a market to develop in our securities, either debt or equity, until we have successfully concluded a business combination. The Company intends to comply with the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for so long as it is subject to those requirements.

The Company was organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation. The Company’s principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with a business rather than immediate, short-term earnings. The Company will not restrict its potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business.

The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of Richard A. Rappaport and Anthony C. Pintsopoulos, the officers and directors of the Company. As of this date the Company has not entered into any definitive agreement with any party, nor have there been any specific discussions with any potential business combination candidate regarding business opportunities for the Company. The Company has unrestricted flexibility in seeking, analyzing and participating in potential business opportunities. In its efforts to analyze potential acquisition targets, the Company will consider the following kinds of factors:

(a) Potential for growth, indicated by new technology, anticipated market expansion or new products;

(b) Competitive position as compared to other firms of similar size and experience within the industry segment as well as within the industry as a whole;

(d) Capital requirements and anticipated availability of required funds, to be provided by the Company or from operations, through the sale of additional securities, through joint ventures or similar arrangements or from other sources;

(e) The cost of participation by the Company as compared to the perceived tangible and intangible values and potentials;

(f) The extent to which the business opportunity can be advanced;

(g) The accessibility of required management expertise, personnel, raw materials, services, professional assistance and other required items; and

(h) Other relevant factors.

In applying the foregoing criteria, no one of which will be controlling, management will attempt to analyze all factors and circumstances and make a determination based upon reasonable investigative measures and available data. Potentially available business opportunities may occur in many different industries, and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex. Due to the Company's limited capital available for investigation, the Company may not discover or adequately evaluate adverse facts about the opportunity to be acquired.

FORM OF ACQUISITION

The manner in which the Company participates in an opportunity will depend upon the nature of the opportunity, the respective needs and desires of the Company and the promoters of the opportunity, and the relative negotiating strength of the Company and such promoters.

It is likely that the Company will acquire its participation in a business opportunity through the issuance of common stock or other securities of the Company. Although the terms of any such transaction cannot be predicted, it should be noted that in certain circumstances the criteria for determining whether or not an acquisition is a so-called "tax free" reorganization under Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") depends upon whether the owners of the acquired business own 80% or more of the voting stock of the surviving entity. If a transaction were structured to take advantage of these provisions rather than other "tax free" provisions provided under the Code, all prior stockholders would in such circumstances retain 20% or less of the total issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity. Under other circumstances, depending upon the relative negotiating strength of the parties, prior stockholders may retain substantially less than 20% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity. This could result in substantial additional dilution to the equity of those who were stockholders of the Company prior to such reorganization.

The present stockholders of the Company will likely not have control of a majority of the voting securities of the Company following a reorganization transaction. As part of such a transaction, all or a majority of the Company's directors may resign and one or more new directors may be appointed without any vote by stockholders.

In the case of an acquisition, the transaction may be accomplished upon the sole determination of management without any vote or approval by stockholders. In the case of a statutory merger or consolidation directly involving the Company, it will likely be necessary to call a stockholders' meeting and obtain the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding securities. The necessity to obtain such stockholder approval may result in delay and additional expense in the consummation of any proposed transaction and will also give rise to certain appraisal rights to dissenting stockholders. Most likely, management will seek to structure any such transaction so as not to require stockholder approval.

It is anticipated that the investigation of specific business opportunities and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and substantial cost for accountants, attorneys and others. If a decision is made not to participate in a specific business opportunity, the costs theretofore incurred in the related investigation might not be recoverable. Furthermore, even if an agreement is reached for the participation in a specific business opportunity, the failure to consummate that transaction may result in the loss to the Registrant of the related costs incurred.

We presently have no employees apart from our management. Our officers and directors are engaged in outside business activities and anticipate that they will devote to our business very limited time until the acquisition of a successful business opportunity has been identified. We expect no significant changes in the number of our employees other than such changes, if any, incident to a business combination.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Small Business Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

Common Stock

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Common Stock is not listed on a publicly-traded market. As of ~~February~~ 18January 22, ~~2009~~2010, there were 11 holders of record of the Common Stock.

Preferred Stock

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). The Company has not yet issued any of its preferred stock.

Dividend Policy

The Company has not declared or paid any cash dividends on its common stock and does not intend to declare or pay any cash dividend in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends, if any, is within the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on the Company’s earnings, if any, its capital requirements and financial condition and such other factors as the Board of Directors may consider.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

The Company does not have any equity compensation plans or any individual compensation arrangements with respect to its common stock or preferred stock. The issuance of any of our common or preferred stock is within the discretion of our Board of Directors, which has the power to issue any or all of our authorized but unissued shares without stockholder approval.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

On October 11, 2007, the Company offered and sold an aggregate of 7,096,390 shares of Common Stock for aggregate proceeds equal to $5,000, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in those certain common stock purchase agreements (each a “Common Stock Purchase Agreement”), and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 7,096,390 shares of Common Stock for aggregate proceeds equal to $2,500, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in those certain warrant purchase agreement (each a “Warrant Purchase Agreement”). The Warrants have an exercise price equal to $0.0001. ~~The~~These ~~Warrants~~warrants ~~are exercisable~~expire asat of the earlier date of ten ~~issuance~~years ~~and~~from ~~terminate~~date ~~on the earlier~~ of ~~October 11,~~purchase ~~2017~~ or five years from the date the Company consummates a merger or other business combination with an operating business or any other event pursuant to which the Company ceases to be a “shell company~~” and a “blank check company~~.” The Company sold these shares of Common Stock and Warrants under the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

All purchasers represented in writing that they acquired the securities for their own accounts. The securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and cannot be sold or otherwise transferred without an effective registration or an exemption therefrom, but may not be sold pursuant to the exemptions provided by Section 4(1) of the Securities Act ~~or Rule 144 under the Securities Act~~, in accordance with the letter from Richard K. Wulff, Chief of the Office of Small Business Policy of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Division of Corporation Finance, to Ken Worm of NASD Regulation, Inc., dated January 21, 2000.

No securities have been issued for services. Neither the Registrant nor any person acting on its behalf offered or sold the securities by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising. No services were performed by any purchaser as consideration for the shares issued.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

None.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data.

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide this information.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.

The Company was organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation. Our principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with a business rather than immediate, short-term earnings. The Company will not restrict our potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business.

The Company currently does not engage in any business activities that provide cash flow. During the next twelve months we anticipate incurring costs related to:

(i) filing Exchange Act reports, and

(ii) investigating, analyzing and consummating an acquisition.

We believe we will be able to meet these costs through use of funds in our treasury, through deferral of fees by certain service providers and additional amounts, as necessary, to be loaned to or invested in us by our stockholders, management or other investors.

The Company may consider acquiring a business which has recently commenced operations, is a developing company in need of additional funds for expansion into new products or markets, is seeking to develop a new product or service, or is an established business which may be experiencing financial or operating difficulties and is in need of additional capital. In the alternative, a business combination may involve the acquisition of, or merger with, a company which does not need substantial additional capital but which desires to establish a public trading market for its shares while avoiding, among other things, the time delays, significant expense, and loss of voting control which may occur in a public offering.

Any target business that is selected may be a financially unstable company or an entity in its early stages of development or growth, including entities without established records of sales or earnings. In that event, we will be subject to numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of financially unstable and early stage or potential emerging growth companies. In addition, we may effect a business combination with an entity in an industry characterized by a high level of risk, and, although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, there can be no assurance that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risks.

The Company anticipates that the selection of a business combination will be complex and extremely risky. Because of general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some industries and shortages of available capital, our management believes that there are numerous firms seeking even the limited additional capital which we will have and/or the perceived benefits of becoming a publicly traded corporation. Such perceived benefits of becoming a publicly traded corporation include, among other things, facilitating or improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be obtained, providing liquidity for the principals of and investors in a business, creating a means for providing incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, and offering greater flexibility in structuring acquisitions, joint ventures and the like through the issuance of stock. Potentially available business combinations may occur in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex.

We do not currently intend to retain any entity to act as a “finder” to identify and analyze the merits of potential target businesses. However, if we do, at present, we contemplate that at least one of the third parties who may introduce business combinations to us may be WestPark Capital, Inc. (“WestPark Capital”), a Colorado corporation and a registered broker-dealer. Richard A. Rappaport, our President, director and one of our controlling stockholders, indirectly holds a 100% interest in, and is the Chief Executive Officer of, WestPark Capital, a FINRA member. Anthony C. Pintsopoulos, our Secretary, Chief Financial Officer, director and one of our principal stockholders, is the President and Chief Financial Officer of WestPark Capital. Debbie Schwartzberg, one of our principal stockholders, is a note holder of WestPark Capital Financial Services, LLC (“WestPark LLC”), the parent company of WestPark Capital; her note entitles her to a 1.5% interest in the net profits of WestPark LLC, one of our principal stockholders. There is currently no signed agreement or preliminary agreements or understandings between us and WestPark Capital. Any finders fees paid to WestPark Capital will be comparable with unaffiliated third party fees.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, ~~2008~~2009, the Company had assets equal to $321,~~589~~316, comprised exclusively of cash. This compares with assets of $93,~~313~~589, comprised exclusively of cash, as of December 31, ~~2007~~2008. The Company’s current liabilities as of December 31, ~~2008~~2009 totaled $4797,500, comprised exclusively of monies due to stockholders. This compares with liabilities of $2247,500 comprised exclusively of monies due to stockholders, as of December 31, ~~2007~~2008. The Company can provide no assurance that it can continue to satisfy its cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

The following is a summary of the Company's cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities for the year ended December 31, ~~2008~~2009, for the ~~period~~year ~~from~~ended ~~October 11, 2007 (Inception) to~~ December 31, 2008, ~~2007~~ and for the cumulative period from October 11, 2007 (Inception) to December 31, ~~2008~~2009.

The Company has nominal assets and has generated no revenues since inception. The Company is also dependent upon the receipt of capital investment or other financing to fund its ongoing operations and to execute its business plan of seeking a combination with a private operating company. In addition, the Company is dependent upon certain related parties to provide continued funding and capital resources. If continued funding and capital resources are unavailable at reasonable terms, the Company may not be able to implement its plan of operations.

Results of Operations

The Company has not conducted any active operations since inception, except for its efforts to locate suitable acquisition candidates. No revenue has been generated by the Company from October 11, 2007 (Inception) to December 31, ~~2008~~2009. It is unlikely the Company will have any revenues unless it is able to effect an acquisition or merger with an operating company, of which there can be no assurance. It is management's assertion that these circumstances may hinder the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s plan of operation for the next twelve months shall be to continue its efforts to locate suitable acquisition candidates.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Company had a net loss of $32,273, consisting of legal, accounting, audit, and other professional service fees incurred in relation to the filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2009 in October of 2009, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2009 in August of 2009, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2009 in April of 2009 and Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 in February of 2009.

For the period from October 11, 2007 (Inception) to December 31, 2008, the Company had a net loss of $51,411 comprised exclusively of legal, accounting, audit, and other professional service fees incurred in relation to the formation of the Company, the filing of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10-SB in January of 2008, and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2008 in October of 2008, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2008 in August of 2008 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2008 in May of 2008.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of SRKP 23, Inc.

Lauderdale by the Sea, FL

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of SRKP 23, Inc.(a development stage company) as of December 31, ~~2008~~2009 and ~~2007~~2008, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the ~~year~~years ~~ended~~then ~~December 31~~ended, ~~2008~~ and for the ~~periods~~period from ~~inception (~~October 11, 2007 (inception) to December 31, ~~2007, and 2008~~2009. SRKP 23, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SRKP 23, Inc. as of December 31, ~~2008~~2009 and ~~2007~~2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the ~~year~~ ~~ended~~years ~~December~~then 31ended, ~~2008,~~ and for the ~~periods~~period from ~~inception (~~October 11, 2007 (inception) to to December 31, ~~2007~~2009 ~~and 2008,~~ in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going-concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company is in the development stage and has not commenced operations. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to develop additional sources of capital, locate and complete a merger with another company and ultimately achieve profitable operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

History

SRKP 23, Inc. (the Company), a development stage company, was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on October 11, 2007. The Company is in the development stage as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board ~~Statement~~Accounting ~~No.~~Standards 7Codification ("ASC") Topic 915 "Development Stage Entities". The fiscal year end is December 31.

The Company filed a Form 10-SB registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The registration statement has been declared effective as of March 17, 2008.

Going Concern and Plan of Operation

The Company's financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is in the development stage and has negative working capital, negative stockholders’ equity and has not earned any revenues from operations to date. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company is currently devoting its efforts to locating merger candidates. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to develop additional sources of capital, locate and complete a merger with another company, and ultimately, achieve profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Income Taxes

In accordance with ~~SFAS~~ASC ~~109~~Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, the Company accounts ~~for~~ for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

For federal income tax purposes, substantially all startup and organizational expenses must be deferred until the Company commences business. The Company may elect a limited deduction of up to $5,000 in the taxable year in which the trade or business begins. The $5,000 must be reduced by the amount of startup costs in excess of $50,000. The remainder of the expenses not deductible must be amortized over a 180-month period beginning with the month in which the active trade or business begins. These expenses will not be deducted for tax purposes and will represent a deferred tax asset. The Company will provide a valuation allowance in the full amount of the deferred tax asset since there is no assurance of future taxable income. Tax deductible losses can be carried forward for 20 years until utilized.

The Company has adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”) as of January 1, 2007. FIN 48

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Income Taxes (Continued)

The Company has adopted ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”) as of October 11, 2007. ASC Topic 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in companies’ financial statements in accordance with ~~FASB~~ASC ~~Statement~~Topic ~~No. 109~~740, Accounting for ~~Income~~ Income Taxes. As a result, the Company applies a more-likely-than-not ~~recognition~~ recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties. ~~FIN~~ASC 48Topic 740 only allows the ~~recognition~~ recognition of those tax benefits that have a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. As a result of implementing ~~FIN~~ASC 48Topic 740, the Company’s management has reviewed the Company’s tax positions and determined there were no outstanding, or retroactive ~~tax~~ tax positions with less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, therefore the implementation of this standard has not had a material affect on the Company.

Based on its evaluation, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its financial statements. The Company’s evaluation was performed for the tax periods ended December 31, 2007 through December 31, ~~2008~~2009 for U.S. Federal Income Tax and for the tax ~~period~~periods ended December 31, 2007 through December 31, ~~2008~~2009 for the State of Delaware Income Tax, the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of December 31, ~~2008.~~2009

Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred offering costs, consisting of legal, accounting and filing fees relating to an offering will be capitalized. The deferred offering costs will be offset against offering proceeds in the event the offering is successful. In the event the offering is unsuccessful or is abandoned, the deferred offering costs will be expensed.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash in banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company maintains all cash in deposit accounts, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced a loss in such accounts.

Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share are computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share consists of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effects of options and warrants calculated using the treasury stock method. In loss periods, dilutive common equivalent shares are excluded as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

At December 31, ~~2008~~2009 and ~~2007~~2008, the only potential dilutive securities were 7,096,390 common stock warrants. Due to the net loss, none of the potentially dilutive securities were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share since their effect would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has adopted all recently issued accounting pronouncements. The adoption of the accounting pronouncements, including those not yet effective, is not anticipated to have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

NOTE 2 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

During October 2007, the Company sold for $5,000 cash 7,096,390 shares of its $.0001 par value common stock to various investors.

These warrants expire at the earlier date of 10 years from date of purchase or 5 years from the date the Company consummates a merger or other business combination with an operating business or any other event to which the Company ceases to be a “shell company.”

The officers and directors of the Company are involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities that become available. Such persons may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and their other business interests. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.

NOTE 4 - DUE TO STOCKHOLDERS

Since inception certain stockholders have advanced the Company $4797,500 to pay for operating expenses. These funds have been advanced interest free, are unsecured, and are due on demand.

NOTE 5 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated events and transactions that occurred between January 1, 2010 and January 21, 2010 which is the date the financial statements were issued for possible disclosure or recognition in the financial statements.

In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, an evaluation was completed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s President, Principal Financial Officer and Secretary, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management including the President, Principal Financial Officer and Secretary, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.
