ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
Recent Developments: Going Concern and Liquidity Problems
Our auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their audit opinion with respect to our consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2004. The paragraph states that our recurring losses from operations and resulting continued dependence on access to external financing raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. Furthermore, the factors leading to and the existence of the explanatory paragraph may adversely affect our relationship with customers and suppliers and have an adverse effect on our ability to obtain financing.
3
We do not have sufficient working capital to sustain our operations. We have been unable to generate sufficient revenues to sustain our operations. We will have to obtain funds to meet our cash requirements through business alliances, such as strategic or financial transactions with third parties, the sale of securities or other financing arrangements, or we may be required to curtail our operations, seek a merger partner, or seek protection under federal bankruptcy laws. Any of the foregoing may be on terms that are unfavorable to us or disadvantageous to existing stockholders. In addition, no assurance may be given that the Company will be successful in raising additional funds or entering into business alliances.
See Risk Factors and Managements Discussion and Analysis Condition and Results of Operations.
Background
Immediatek, Inc. (www.immediatek.com OTCBB:ITEK) was formerly named ModernGroove Entertainment, Inc. On November 23, 2002, ModernGroove Entertainment, Inc., a Nevada corporation, an OTCBB-listed company, entered into a merger agreement with Immediatek, Inc., a private company duly incorporated in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas. Immediatek, a privately owned company, was founded in 2001 by Zach Bair. On December 9, 2002, ModernGroove Entertainment, Inc. changed its name to Immediatek, Inc. (ITEK)
ITEK initially focused on providing process automation consulting and Information Technology (IT) services, but the strategy from day one was to identify and acquire compelling technology solutions which had potential exponential scalability. The company is based in Richardson, Texas.
On February 27, 2003, ITEK announced that it was acquiring key assets of LCD Interactive, Inc., a private corporation (LCD) that had developed breakthrough CD burning software which would form the basis of ITEKs business model going forward. Prior to the acquisition, ITEK had formed a strategic alliance with LCD d/b/a TwoBigToes, to exclusively market and develop the CD burning software. Acquisition of LCDs assets, including the CD burning software and LCDs flagship website, www.TwoBigToes.com, was accomplished through a stock transaction whereby the shareholders of LCD, were granted 6,980,000 restricted shares in Immediatek.
DiscLive
In April 2004 we acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of DiscLive, Inc., a New York corporation, which is an enterprise primarily engaged in the business of recording live performances by music artists who contract with DiscLive to produce compact discs of the concert to sell to concert goers as they leave the concert. This is accomplished through on site mobile manufacturing facilities, located in a semi tractor trailer, which are capable of producing approximately 800 CDs within 15 minutes of the concerts ending. The CDs are also sold through our web site to potential customers who did not attend the concert. The CDs can also be manufactured using our NetBurn Secure Technology, described below, which prevents the CD from being downloaded and shared on a peer to peer network. This new service product now accounts for over 80% of our annual gross revenues. During the coming fiscal year we plan to expand our marketing of our DiscLive services to a number of musical artists and thereby increase our live recordings and CD sales.
4
The acquisition of DiscLive was accomplished through a stock for stock transaction whereby the stockholders of DiscLive acquired 1,666,667 shares of our common stock and we acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of DiscLive. DiscLive is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Immediatek.
In addition to its DiscLive services described above ITEK is currently focusing a portion of its efforts towards digital media delivery utilizing its patent pending CD burning software products, NetBurn and NetBurn Secure. NetBurn allows an end user to download and burn music using the Internet or a music CD burning kiosk to burn digital media directly to a burnable CD without infringing the legal copyrights of the publishers and artists. The Company believes that NetBurn has completed its development stage and is now a proven technology. NetBurn Secure, ITEKs latest variant of the software, creates copy controlled burned CDs, so that once the CD is burned it is copy controlled and can thereby limit how many copies, if any at all, are permitted to be made from the burned CD.
NetBurn is a revolutionary, patent-pending digital delivery system designed for music labels, distributors, artists and retailers. NetBurn allows web and NetBurn Station kiosk users to download and burn fully licensed music tracks from a sophisticated content management system utilizing a simple one-click interface, while at the same time protecting the copyright holders who own the material. NetBurn enables burning directly to a burnable CD and leaves no files for the user to pirate. It requires no prior download to use, no custom drivers, and features easy centralized software updating and robust content management. The content, once burned to the CD, is copy controlled and can limit how many copies, if any, will be permitted to be made from the burned CD.
The NetBurn Portal System is Immediateks way of putting the technology into the hands of artists helping artists and at the same time continuing to pursue its business model. The artist is allowed to sign up and use the Portal System at no cost, and instead will share revenue with Immediatek on the back end. The Portal System creates a fully automated system for managing and deploying content directly to the artists websites, fan websites, kiosks, and corporate sites, and thereby provides multiple points-of-sale in an effort to increase sales potential.
Independent music represents a huge opportunity to Immediatek and the NetBurn product. Because there is so much indie music (24.9% of all sales), Immediatek is working with independent artists to protect their content and to enable distribution and artistic control. By pulling in high profile independent artists, Immediatek raises awareness to the product, and also increases the Companys credibility.
NetBurn is available both as an ASP (Application Service Provider) solution as well as deployable, Internet-enabled kiosks Automated Digital MediaServers (ADMs) called NetBurn Stations. What makes this technology unique is that with only a single mouse click by the user, or a few touches on the NetBurn Station touch screen, selected, fully licensed music tracks are burned directly to a burnable CD. With NetBurn Secure, the resultant disc is copy protected. In the case of the Internet version, the user is left with no files on their hard disk (unless they are properly licensed, in which case this is controlled by our embedded Microsoft DRM technology). This means there are no files for the user to copy, thereby providing an extra layer of security and furthering the demise of music piracy. Users pay by the track or by the CD. They can create custom CDs complete with liner notes and CD jacket, or choose
5
to burn exact CDs as found in retail stores. It is Immediateks goal to work with the music industry and artist community to help establish the NetBurn technology as the de facto standard for secure digital music delivery.
The NetBurn Stations are available in stand-up and will also be available as countertop bolt-on units. The machines accept credit and debit cards as well as cash, and the stand-up units are equipped with 42-inch plasma screens for targeted custom media and advertising delivery. Various licensing packages for both the NetBurn Stations and the core NetBurn technology are available and flexible. Licensing, for example, may include a flat yearly fee based on estimated burns and/or a transaction fee per burn, and a monthly charge for NetBurn Station deployment maintenance.
ITEKs management is of the opinion that the proprietary one-click disc burning technology could provide a standards-based solution for the music industrys burgeoning piracy problems with downloadable music and other media. Zach Bair believes that recent court decisions involving music piracy are likely to make popular peer-to-peer software applications, such as Kazaa, re-assess their business models. ITEKs business model is based on a proven technology, which can be easily integrated into existing e-commerce websites. Its a true one-click solution, and with it, artists, labels and music distributors have a method to control copyrights.
NetBurn Technology Brief
Immediateks breakthrough CD burning software known as NetBurn is a proprietary technology that allows an entire music CD, individually selected tracks, to download from a standard Internet browser and instantly and automatically burn to a CD-R in one click, in effect bypassing the computers hard drive and leaving no files left over to be pirated. The fact that an entire CD can download to a CD burner without having client-side software is a revolutionary breakthrough in how music is now legally distributed over the Internet. The NetBurn software also provides CD cover art, liner notes and song track listings perfectly sized for printing and inserting into CD jewel cases. NetBurn also allows users to mix and match tracks from different artists and CD releases.
NetBurn Secure Technology Brief
Immediateks newest breakthrough CD burning software has the same functionality as NetBurn with the added capabilities of copy control technology on the burned CD itself. It is the belief of Management that Immediatek has the only technology that can burn a copy controlled CD from the Internet, thus giving power and control back to the copyright owners and reducing piracy for burnable CDs.
After a user selects song tracks on a secure website, NetBurn Server creates a custom compiled and encrypted applet, based on the users selection, which is then downloaded and run from a standard browser. This applet immediately detects the brand and model CD burner by communicating with the API (Application Programming Interface) of the selected PC and displays this information on the customized NetBurn window, which is small, simple and unobtrusive. If no burner is detected, the process halts and the user is sent to a NetBurn customer service page, where the customer is advised of the issue.
6
Next, providing a CD burner is indeed found, NetBurn then detects whether or not there is a CD in the tray of the burner, and provides the user two opportunities to insert a disc into the burner before the application quits and the user is automatically forwarded to a NetBurn customer service page, again detailing this specific issue.
Assuming that the user inserts a blank CD-R either on the first or the second attempt, then the software will validate this action and automatically begin to decode and decompress imbedded compressed music files, simultaneously converting them to CD Audio format, and then burning the files on-the-fly to the CD-R.
Once all the songs are successfully burned to the CD-R, NetBurn confirms the CD is successfully burned and then loads the CD cover art, liner notes and song tracks on a properly sized CD jewel case format for printing and insertion into a jewel case. The cover art is based on the songs selected by the user. For example if the user selects songs from one artists CD then the original cover art will download for printing. However, if the user selects various artists, then the user has the opportunity to select the cover art of their choice.
Immediately after successfully burning the CD, NetBurn Secure, in protecting the copyright of the artist and content owner, any and all remaining temporary files are deleted that are utilized in the burn and the burned CD has copy control technology that is intended to limit or prevent the burned CD from being re-copied.
Throughout the entire burning process the NetBurn application window provides a progress bar and notes on the status of the CD being burned. For example, the time estimated to burn the CD is based on the number of songs and length of each song, and the progress bar tracks this time accordingly. It also provides a list of the songs being burned, and notifies the user when the CD burn is completed.
The SunnComm technology is based on a CD that contains two separate sessions, and when invoked, is fully employed on discs burned with NetBurn Secure. This function is invoked from the NetBurn Server Manager Console. By clicking a check box and identifying geographic areas where copy protection would be employed for end users, the MediaMax technology will be automatically embedded when the consumer burns their disc, and MediaMax components are installed on the users computer.
NetBurn Secure technology is based on a burned CD that contains two separate sessions. When the CD is inserted in a standard music CD player, the first session, made up of standard audio tracks, is accessed and will play normally. However, when the CD is inserted in a CDROM drive or DVD drive of a computer, the first session the one playable in both CD and DVD players is inaccessible. Instead, a second session becomes available that includes a duplicate set of songs which are stored in a protected format using licensed DRM technology.
In addition to the DRM technology, the second session can also contain additional content like video, photos, web links etc. While the user has full access to this music and other content on the second session by using the computer, the licensed MediaMax technology is intended to disallow the end user to make unauthorized copies of the burned CD with standard CD copying software programs.

Copy Control Technology NetBurn Secure
Immediatek has licensed the MediaMax CD-3 technology from SunnComm Technologies and has embedded SunnComms technology into NetBurn. The resultant product is called NetBurn Secure.
REVENUE MODEL
Our sales revenue is derived mainly from the following sources:
DiscLive. Artists and/or labels contract DiscLive to record a series of concerts and distribute/sell live CDs at the events. This provides an instant gratification experience for the fan, allowing them to take home the concert. CDs are sold in limited edition quantities, so typically a concert might sell 1000 CDs, rendering $25,000 in revenue (based on a $25 price point ), not including additional revenues earned for shipping and handling charges (for ship home products).
Software licensing fees NetBurn and NetBurn Secure. Music labels and artists pay a licensing fee for the use of the Companys NetBurn software platform for use within their own organizations and on their own websites as the means of facilitating music downloads by end users. This will be a recurring revenue stream to Immediatek as it will be payable annually and will also be supplemented to a small extent by maintenance and support charges, although these are not anticipated as being material and have not been accounted for in projections. There is no direct cost of sale attached to this revenue stream, although the Company has provided in its forecasts for an expenditure of 10% of each sale made.
Transaction fees NetBurn and NetBurn Secure. Although music downloads will be facilitated via independent websites typically those of the music labels or of individual artists themselves each transaction will attract a fee payable to Immediatek of as high as $0.38 per track. As with software licensing revenue, there is no direct cost of sale attached to this revenue stream, but provision has nevertheless been made in the Companys forecasts for a cost of $0.05 per track.
TwoBigToes.com. This is the Companys own website, on which end users will be able to download music on exactly the same basis as above from artists listed on the site. While transaction fees are effectively a third party royalty, download fees originating from the TwoBigToes site represent a retail transaction to the Company and are therefore at a higher rate, namely $.99 per track. Typically, music listed on the TwoBigToes site will be that belonging to lesser-known independent artists not yet associated with a major record label. In this case, there will be direct costs associated with such transactions, namely royalties payable to the artist and the cost of uploading and maintaining the text and graphics that end users will download to complete CD inserts and the jewel case. Total cost of sales has been provided at 35%.
OPPORTUNITIES
8
Because of the rapid change in the music industry to the piracy of online music, many web entities have sprung up which offer online music services as an alternative to traditional peer-to-peer software sites such as Kazaa. These sites generally have content, which subscribers pay to access. The access may include streaming the music from the site; downloading MP3 files; and in some cases, burning the music to disc. It is these legal music download sites which the opportunity for NetBurn and NetBurn Secure.
Legal Music Download Services
Apple (iTunes). The iTunes Music Store features over 200,000 songs from major music companies including BMG, EMI, Sony Music Entertainment, Universal and Warner so music fans can easily find the music and download them directly into their iTunes 4 music library with one-click. Songs are downloaded in digital quality and can be burned onto an unlimited number of CDs for personal use. In the first month of operation nearly 4 million music tracks were downloaded. Burns are not secure and can be copied. Users are free to upload copied songs.
MusicNow. MusicNow, Inc., formerly FullAudio, develops legal digital music solutions that are offered to customers through marketing partners like Best Buy, SBC Yahoo! DSL and Microsoft Windows Media. Customers can purchase individual tracks and albums from a music library of more than 400,000 tracks from all five major labels: BMG, EMI, Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group and the Warner Music Group, and independent labels such as Koch and Sanctuary.
BuyMusic. BuyMusic.com, offers approximately 300,000 songs for download in all categories of music from Top Ten to rare independents. Customers can purchase individual tracks and albums from all five major labels: BMG, EMI, Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group and the Warner Music Group, and independent labels such as Koch and Sanctuary.
MusicNet. MusicNet is only available through AOL. Launched in December of 2001 and with a current roster of 250,000 songs, MusicNet is equally owned by Real Networks, AOL/Time Warner, EMI and BMG. MusicNet offers distribution of digital music service for streaming, downloading and burning music online, MusicNet offers the music catalogs of major and independent record labels - including Warner Music Group, BMG Entertainment, EMI Recorded Music, Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group, Zomba, Ritmoteca and Sanctuary. As both a service and music content provider, MusicNet licenses to companies seeking to fully integrate digital music services into their online music offerings. Burns are not secure and can be copied. Users can take songs and upload them on a file sharing service freely.
Napster. Napster has been re-launched as a legal service using PressPlays infrastructure. Napster is currently active, and its assets are currently owned by Roxio (NASDAQ: ROXI) and was known originally as the pioneer in peer-to-peer filing sharing software to illegally swap MP3 files from consumers computers. At its height, Napster had over 74 million users and about 2 billion songs per month were downloaded via Napster.
Emusic. Vivendi Universal, the worlds largest record company conglomerate purchased Emusic in a $23 million cash transaction. Emusic offers legal MP3 downloads from over 900 independent record labels. $9.99 per month for unlimited downloads. Currently Emusic is offering 50 free MP3
9
downloads and a 14-day free trial with a cancel anytime option. Burns are not secure and can be copied. Users are free to upload copied songs.
Legal Streaming Media Music Sites
Users cant download songs; however, they can listen to them only on their computers as streaming audio files. Whereas a downloaded song is transferred to your computers hard drive, a streamed song can be listened to only while youre connected to the Internet. The following services do not allow CD recording. Therefore, this presents additional opportunity for the proliferation of NetBurn.
Streamwaves offers a digital music subscription business. Streamwaves licenses major label content for a subscription service. Streamwaves holds licensing agreements with EMI Recorded Music, EMI CMG Publishing, Universal Music Group and others. Streamwaves has no burning capability whatsoever.
Launch.com. (Acquired by Yahoo! for $12 million) offers consumers an array of streaming radio stations, videos, musicians interviews and picture art from musicians. Launch generates revenue through its advertised based model. This website is a destination for music fans to learn more about their favorite musicians and for listening to streaming music. Some free downloads for promotion only.
Listen.com. Listen.com, recently acquired by Real Networks is a music portal and promotional website branded as Rhapsody. Listen offers consumers an array of features from musician bios, news, free downloads samples, videos, interviews and picture art from musicians. Listen.coms core product is Rhapsody, an interactive digital music subscription service powered by the companys patent-pending media delivery technology.
Lycos Music. Music destination and portal. Offers music news, links, bios, interviews and e-commerce for music CDs.
Peer-To-Peer Music Services
All known peer-to-peer software utilities allow users who exchange copyrighted files without the permission of the copyright holder. Peer-to-peer services overwhelmingly are used for improper copying and transmission of copyright material over the Internet, and actively encourage, assist and participate in this activity. We will continue to watch this market to see what online music peer-to-peer technology evolves and we may see opportunity from the following companies for future offering of legal online music for burning. However, without strategic agreements with the peer-to-peer software companies, and without clear changes in their business model, the nature of peer-to-peer technology will leave downloaded music on users hard drives.
Kazaa is currently the most popular peer-to-peer file sharing network with over 60 million users worldwide and over 22 million users in the United Sates alone. Kazaa was originally the inspiration of two Scandinavian businessmen, Niklas Zennstrom and Janis Friis, who wanted to improve upon the peer-to-peer file-swapping services that became popular in 1999. Over the past two years, the oddly named product has become the most popular online file-swapping system in the world. Roughly 230 million people have downloaded the software, primarily to trade music, TV shows and movies over the Internet. At any given time, more than 3 million people are running the program, double the number that Napster had at its peak. Sharman Networks purchased the Kazaa software in early 2002 and planned to make money by
10
distributing authorized, copy-protected content. However, the record labels are suing the Australian-based Sharman Networks and, recently, a US Federal judge ruled that it could be pursued by record companies under US laws.
Other popular peer-to-peer file sharing networks include Altnet, Gogster, LimeWire, BearShare, Morpheus and Xolox.

COMPETITION
The markets we are targeting are highly competitive, and we expect competition to increase in the future. We believe that we compete more favorably than many of our current competitors with respect to some or all of these factors and that we currently have a competitive advantage in the CD recording software market because NetBurn downloads and burns music in one click, bypassing the computers hard drive, burning directly to the users CD burner, thus leaving no downloaded music on their hard drive. Most importantly, Immediatek is the only entity to offer fully secure, consumer-based disc burning technology with copy control technology burned onto the originally purchased disc.. NetBurn Secure places copy control technology on the burned discs, and sets limits on how many copies, if any, can be copied from the originally burned CD when utilizing traditional CD copying software.
Although there are numerous sites and services offering a varying degree of downloading, streaming, and burning, the real competition would be qualified as the technology companies fueling the ability to perform CD burns from the web. Although NetBurn has the first and only technology of its kind, the company has identified one major competitor which presents a threat because of sheer size and dominance of the market: Roxio.
Roxio, Inc. (with a wide range of functionality, including the ability to burn music and/or data in a variety of formats NASDAQ: ROXI). Roxio recently acquired the assets of Napster and has re-launched Napster as a legal service. Roxio provides multi-platform CD burning software. Their suite of digital media products includes Easy CD Creator (for Windows) and Toast (for Macintosh). Roxio distributes its products globally through strategic partnerships with major PC and CD recorder manufacturers, national retail chains and Internet partnerships. Roxios drivers currently enable PressPlay.
There are other CD burning software companies such as Nero by Ahead Software, and dozens of shareware CD burning utilities, but these products are strictly client-based utilities made to be used on the desktop of the users computer.
RISK FACTORS
Our limited operating history makes our potential difficult to assess. The Company has limited operating history. Prospective investors should be aware of the difficulties encountered by such new enterprises, as the Company faces all of the risks inherent in any new business. These risks include, but are not limited to, competition, the absence of an operating history, the need for additional working capital, and the possible inability to adapt to various economic changes inherent in a market economy. The likelihood of success of the Company must be considered in light of these problems, expenses that are frequently incurred in the operation of a new business and the competitive environment in which the Company will operate.
We may not be able to continue as a going concern or fund our existing capital needs. Our auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their audit opinion with respect to our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. The paragraph states that our recurring
12
losses from operations and resulting continued dependence on external financing raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our existing and anticipated capital needs are significant. We believe our existing financing arrangements and estimated operating cash flows will not be sufficient to fund our operations and working capital needs for the next twelve months and there can be no assurance that we will be able to fund our existing capital needs under our existing credit facilities or otherwise secure additional funding, if necessary. In addition, changes in our operating plans, the acceleration or modification of our existing expansion plans, lower than anticipated revenues, increased expenses, potential acquisitions, or other events may cause us to seek additional funding sooner than anticipated, prevent us from achieving the goals of our business plan or expansion strategy, or prevent our newly acquired businesses, if any, from operating profitably. If we are unable to fund our existing capital needs under our existing credit facilities, or are otherwise unable to secure additional equity financing, if necessary, our business could be materially adversely affected. See Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation - Liquidity and Capital Resources.
We have a history of operating losses and negative cash flow from operations which is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. There is no guarantee that the Company will ever be able to operate profitably or derive any significant revenues from its operation. It is important to note that the Company anticipates that it will incur losses and negative cash flow over the next twelve (12) months. There is no guarantee that the Company will ever operate profitably or even receive positive cash flows from full operations.
We will need future capital and there is substantial uncertainty of additional financing. Presently, the Company is seeking funding to market its products and services. The Companys future liquidity and capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including the costs and timing of expansion, the success of the Companys existing and new product and service offerings and competing market developments. The Companys forecast of the period of time through which its financial resources will be adequate to support its operations is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary. The factors described earlier in this paragraph will impact the Companys future capital requirements and the adequacy of its available funds. The Company may be required to raise additional funds through public or private financing, strategic relationships or other arrangements. There can be no assurance that such additional funding, if needed, will be available on terms attractive to the Company, or at all. Furthermore, any additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants. Strategic arrangements, if necessary to raise additional funds, may require the Company to relinquish certain rights. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed on terms favorable to the Company, if at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may be unable to develop or enhance its services, take advantage of future opportunities or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, financial condition and operating results.
There are many business risks associated with the online music industry, the contracting with music artists for the recording of live
13
concerts and the marketing of the CDs resulting there from. The online music industry is highly competitive and inherently risky. The Company makes its online music distribution and recording applications available to clients on an ASP (Application Service Provider) basis and revenue is derived from fees charged for use of its applications. No standards have set in the online music arena and the process of securing sales is competitive and uncertain and therefore cannot be predicted with any degree of accuracy. Furthermore sales do not always bear a direct correlation to the marketing costs incurred. Our DiscLIve business is not completely unique and although we believe there are significant portions of that business which are proprietary to the company, the potential for additional competitors is high. The degree of competition, general economic conditions, and regulation also can affect the commercial viability of the Companys business. None of these factors can be predicted with any certainty. Therefore, there is a substantial risk that some or all of the Companys projects will not be commercially successful, resulting in loss and anticipated profits not being realized.
We are dependent upon our proprietary technology and its marketability as state of the art. The technology we use may become obsolete or limit our ability to compete effectively within the music and multi-media applicable industries. These industries are characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and frequent new product introductions. The introduction of products embodying new technologies or the emergence of industry standards can render existing products obsolete and unmarketable. Our success will depend on our ability to enhance our existing products. Our success will also depend on our ability to develop and introduce, on a timely and cost-effective basis, new products that keep pace with technological developments and emerging industry standards and that address increasingly sophisticated customer requirements.
Our business would be adversely affected if we were to incur difficulties or delays in developing new products or enhancements or if those products or enhancements did not gain market acceptance. Specifically:
(a) we may not be successful in identifying, developing and marketing product enhancements or new products that respond to technological change or evolving industry standards;
(b) we may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction and marketing of these products; and
(c) our new products and enhanced products may not adequately meet the requirements of the marketplace and achieve market acceptance or may not keep pace with advances made by our competitors.
We currently have several U.S. patents pending, and there can be no assurance that our patent applications will be granted. Further, there can be no assurance that our technologies will be accepted in the marketplace. In addition, different technologies owned by others could arise that would be superior or more marketable than ours. See Description of Business Patents and Proprietary Technology.
We are not certain we will secure the number of relationships with music labels necessary to make NetBurn financially viable. The Company has placed a high level of dependency on securing relationships with record labels and artists to create a broad-based music selection for end users. In the event
14
that the Company is not successful is securing enough of these relationships, end users may be less inclined to use its NetBurn software to facilitate music downloads in sufficient quantities to make the Company financially viable.
We are subject to rapid technological change. The Companys success is highly dependent upon being the leading technology in respect to online music distribution. The overall online music market is characterized by changing technology, online Internet sales, evolving industry standards, emerging competition and frequent new product introductions. The online music industry is constantly seeking more innovative ways to deliver music online. There can be no assurance that the Company can successfully gain or maintain market share, or that products, services or technologies developed by others will not render the Companys product noncompetitive or obsolete.
Our marketing success depends upon our pricing and product innovation. In general, the markets in which the Company competes are characterized by ease of use, price, quality as well as developed distribution channels and contractor and customer relationships. The Company may not always be able to respond to lower prices being offered or to new product innovations to be competitive as this industry changes. In addition, these market characteristics are heightened by the emerging nature of the Internet and the evident trend of companies from many industries offering products over the Internet.
We have been subject to fluctuations in our operating results and this will likely continue. The Companys revenues and results of operations are significantly dependent upon selling product to second-tier musicians, record labels and online music distributors. The Companys economic success cannot be predicted with certainty. Accordingly, the Companys revenue and any earnings may fluctuate significantly from period to period, and the results of any one period may not be indicative of results for any future periods. As with revenues, because of the significant increase in the sales of the Company, the projected expenses may not be the same as the actual expenses incurred.
We face substantial competition. The market for online music products is extremely competitive, and the Company expects that competition will intensify in the future. The Company believes that its ability to compete successfully depends on a number of factors both within and outside its control, including innovative technology, establishing early dominance, the pricing policies of its competitors, the quality of its competitors, the nature and timing of new products and services introduced by competitors, the ability to attract and retain skilled management and industry and economic trends. Many of the Companys competitors have longer operating histories and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than the Company. In addition, many of these competitors offer a wider range of services and products than the Company, and have significantly greater distribution channels and thus may be able to respond more quickly and effectively targeted customer needs. Many current and potential competitors also have greater name recognition and more extensive customer bases that could be leveraged, thereby gaining market share to the Companys detriment. Such competitors may be able to undertake more extensive promotional activities, offer more attractive terms to clients than the Company, adopt more aggressive pricing policies and offer superior and a broader range of products and services.
We have created a number of products and initiated our DiscLive services. We are uncertain about their market acceptance. The sale and use of
15
the Companys existing products depends not only on the price and quality of these products but also on the general music industry. Whether or not the Companys existing products, technological superiority, quality and pricing warrant the demand necessary to achieve widespread customer acceptance is uncertain. Lack of customer acceptance of the Companys products will have an adverse effect on the Company.
We have developed a number of software products which we believe to be unique, however, a substantial risk of infringement exists. Although the Company has registered a patent to protect its products, there is no assurance that agreements with employees, consultants and others will prevent the disclosure of confidential information, or that the Company will have adequate remedies available to it if information is disclosed, or that the Companys trade secrets will not otherwise be disclosed or independently developed by competitors.
There is a substantial cost of building brand awareness which may not guarantee success. The Companys initiatives regarding significantly increasing sales will require the Company to build significant brand awareness, sufficient to attract customers to buy its product. This will entail an investment in marketing and advertising programs, which will not guarantee that sufficient customers will buy the Companys product, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Our company represents an extremely high degree of business risk. The Company is a fairly new enterprise which is in the process of marketing certain unique computer software and technology to the music industry. The Company may encounter unusual or unexpected problems which it may or may not be successful in resolving. Failure to resolve any such problems could cause the Company to spend significant capital to resolve such problems or cause the Companys revenues to decrease substantially. Either one or both these events could case the Company to cease operations resulting in investors in the Company loosing all or a portion of their investment.
Government regulation may affect our business. Laws and regulations may be passed in respect to the online music industry which could adversely affect the growth of this market, which could in turn decrease the demand for the Companys products or could otherwise have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and operating results.
We are dependent on single business and we lack diversification in our business products. The Company is engaged solely in the business of the marketing of its DiscLive services and its unique computer software and technology and has no current plans to enter into any other business opportunities. As a result, the financial success of the Company is completely dependent upon the Companys ability to successfully market its DiscLive services and software and technology products to potential customers, the success of its business strategy and the continued existence/viability of said products. Management does not believe that its business can be readily adapted to other businesses without significant cost and expense and there can be no assurance that the Company would be successful in locating or operating any alternative business or that it will have sufficient financial resources to implement any significant change in its business.
We will encounter substantial risks associated with acquisitions If appropriate opportunities present themselves, the Company would acquire
16
businesses, technologies, services or product(s) that the Company believes are strategic and would help it to expand its operations and/or future customer base. Future acquisitions could result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities and/or amortization expenses related to goodwill and other intangible assets, which could materially adversely affect the Companys business, results of operations and financial condition. Any future acquisitions of other businesses, technologies, services or product(s) might require the Company to obtain additional equity or debt financing, which might not be available on terms favorable to the Company, or at all, and such financing, if available, might be dilutive.
Because we are significantly smaller and less established than a majority of our competitors, we may lack the financial resources necessary to compete effectively and sustain profitability. We operate in competitive, fragmented industries and compete for clients with a variety of larger and smaller companies that offer similar products and services. These industries are subject to rapid technology changes and are significantly affected by new products and services and the marketing activities of industry participants, which may be beyond our control. Due to the nature of our business, we compete with companies in the music and computer software industries. Although we primarily compete directly with firms which offer similar products, we also compete directly and indirectly with a number of other companies which provide alternative technology and methods. Many of these competitors are more established, offer more products, services and features, have a greater number of clients, locations and employees, and also have significantly greater financial (based on total assets and annual revenues), technical, marketing, public relations, name recognition, and other resources than we have.
We also expect to experience increased competition from new entrants into the market. We may be unable to compete with large music or software companies, including the music divisions of large international firms. This increased competition may result in pricing pressures, loss of market share or loss of clients, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. See Alternate Technology and Methods.
Our common stock may be subject to penny stock rules and regulations. Federal rules and regulations under the Exchange Act regulate the trading of so-called penny stocks, which generally refers to low-priced (below $5.00), speculative securities of very small companies traded on the OTC Bulletin Board or in the Pink Sheets. Trading, if any, in shares of common stock may be subject to the full range of penny stock rules. Before a broker/dealer can sell a penny stock, these rules require the broker/dealer to first approve the investor for the transaction and obtain from the investor a written agreement regarding the transaction. The broker/dealer must also furnish the investor with a document describing the risks of investing in penny stocks. The broker/dealer must also tell the investor the current market quotation, if any, for the penny stock and the compensation the broker/dealer will receive for the trade. Finally, the broker/dealer must send monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the investors account. If these rules are not followed by the broker/dealer, the investor may have no obligation to purchase the shares. Accordingly, these rules and regulations may make it more expensive and difficult for broker/dealers to sell shares of our common stock, and
17
purchasers of our common stock may experience difficulty in selling such shares in secondary trading markets.
Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty
Agreements, Or Labor Contracts.
The Company regards substantial elements of its future and underlying infrastructure and technology as proprietary and attempts to protect them by relying on trademark, service mark, copyright and trade secret laws and restrictions on disclosure and transferring title and other methods. The Company plans to enter into confidentiality agreements with its future employees and any future consultants. Despite these precautions, it may be possible for a third party to copy or otherwise obtain and use the Companys proprietary information without authorization or to develop similar technology independently. The Company has applied for several patents regarding its software technology. Legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of certain proprietary rights in the software business may be uncertain, and no assurance can be given as to the future viability or value of any of the Companys proprietary rights. This can be no assurance that the steps taken by the Company will prevent misappropriation or infringement of its proprietary information, which could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business, results of operations and financial condition.
Effect Of Existing Or Probable Government Regulations And Environmental Laws
Currently there is no absolute standard of government regulation that would affect Immediateks business; however, the issues raised by copyrights, royalties, and the controversies that have amassed around the exchange of MP3 files may result in such regulations and must be addressed by any company seriously considering the future of the industry. Beyond this issue of copyrights and royalties to artists/distributors, some government legislation has been proposed that imposes liability for or prohibits the transmission over the Internet of certain types of information. The imposition upon the Company and other online providers of potential liability for information carried on or disseminated through their services could require the Company to implement measures to reduce its exposure to such liability, which may require the Company to expend substantial resources and/or to discontinue certain service offerings. The inability to ascertain the effect of government regulation on a prospective business activity presents a risk to the Company.
Impact On Environmental Laws
The Company is not aware of any federal, state or local environmental laws that would effect is operations.
Employees
The Company currently has four full time and three part time employees. In order to further implement its business plan, management recognizes that additional staff will be required, funding permitting, during 2005.
18
The Companys performance is substantially dependent on the performance of its executive officers, Zach Bair and Paul Marin. The Company does not carry key person life insurance on any of its personnel. The loss of the services of its executive officers could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company. The Companys future success also depends on its eventual ability to attract and retain highly qualified technical and managerial personnel.
There can be no assurance that in the future the Company will be able to attract and retain additional highly qualified technical and managerial personnel. The inability to attract and retain the technical and managerial personnel necessary to support the growth of the Companys business, due to, among other things, a large increase in the wages demanded by such personnel, could have a material adverse effect upon the Companys business, results of operations and financial condition.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.
The Companys corporate headquarters are located at 2435 N. Central Expressway Suite 1610, Richardson, Texas 75080. We lease approximately 3,900 square feet of office space at a rental of $5,760.00 per month. Our lease expires in 2005. There is significant office space at competitive prices available to us in the same geographical location as its current office.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Immediatek, as plaintiff, initiated a lawsuit against certain business entities and individuals claiming that the defendants were defaming and tortiously interfering with Immediateks business. The lawsuit sought injunctive relief and damages from the defendants. The lawsuit is captioned; Cause No. 03-10705 ; Immediatek, Inc., a Nevada Corporation and Zach Bair vs. Frank Merhib, Scott Wilding, Jennifer Merhib, J & Sons Consulting, and Research Investment Group and was filed in the 68th Judicial District Court of Dallas County, Texas. Management anticipates that the litigation will result in a settlement favorable to the Immediatek.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
General
Immediatek, Inc. is an Efficient Solutions Provider (ESP) specializing in cutting-edge software and technology solutions. Utilizing the strength of its core instant CD product, Immediatek expects to become the leading supplier of live and pre-recorded content through a variety of distribution sources. Additionally, with its NetBurn Secure copy control technology, the company offers a secure product.
On April 12, 2002, the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Vancouver, British Columbia filed against ModernGroove Entertainment, Inc., the Canadian subsidiary, a petition with the Supreme Court of British Columbia to be adjudged bankrupt, under Canadian Bankruptcy Code, British Columbia, Bankruptcy Division, Department of Consumer and Corporate Affairs, designated with the Vancouver Registry as Case No. 225054VA02. The Canadian corporation has ceased operations in Canada.
On September 18, 2002, the Company combined by reverse-merger with Immediatek, Inc., a State of Texas corporation. On November 5, 2002, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to rename the Company Immediatek, Inc.
On April 9, 2004, the Company completed the purchase of DiscLive, Inc. a privately held company that secures contracts with various music artists to record live concert performances, by acquiring all of the outstanding capital stock for a total purchase price of $600,000. DiscLive, Inc.s results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition
The aggregate purchase price consisted of 1,666,667 shares of the Companys common stock valued at $600,000. The value of the 1,666,667 common shares issued was determined based on the average market price of the Companys common shares at the time of acquisition. The company allocated $324,142 of the acquisition price to goodwill and the balance of $275,858 to assets and liabilities.
During the period January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004, the Company generated $1,098,680 in revenues and incurred a net loss of $(2,149,425), or a loss of $0.09 per share. The majority of this loss was a result of costs of services in consulting fees paid in common stock. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had $21,550 in cash reserves and $73,281 in accounts receivable.
The Companys ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon the successful marketing of its DiscLive acquisition, completion of additional financing arrangements, and the development of its software and technology solutions to achieve and maintain profitable operations. Management plans to raise equity capital to finance the operating and capital requirements of the Company. Amounts raised will be used to further development of the Companys products, to provide financing for marketing and promotion, to secure additional property and equipment and for other working capital purposes. While the Company is expending its best efforts to achieve
21
the above plans, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The Companys financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence. (See Financial Footnote 5.)
The Company has a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of the Company, its current business and its prospects can be based. The Companys prospects must be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages. Such risks include, the companys inability to anticipate and adapt to a developing market, the failure of the companys infrastructure, changes in laws that adversely affect the companys business, the ability of the Company to manage its operations, including the amount and timing of capital expenditures and other costs relating to the expansion of the companys operations, the introduction and development of different or more extensive communities by direct and indirect competitors of the Company, including those with greater financial, technical and marketing resources, the inability of the Company to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel and general economic conditions.
Results of Operations
The Company has generated $1,098,680 in revenues from January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004, an increase of $958,000 from its previous year. The Company experienced net losses of $(2,149,425) or a net loss of $(0.09) per share in 2004 compared to losses of $(3,042,881) or a net loss of $(0.17) per share in 2003. For the year ended, the Company incurred costs of services and operating expenses, which amounted to $2,423,025. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had $21,550 in cash reserves and $73,281 in accounts receivable.
Plan of Operation
Immediatek has several key products, although our focus of will be the DiscLive product, since it represents the immediate opportunity to grow and establish market share and revenue as well as providing a launch pad for Immediateks other products.
DiscLive provides a very unique and exciting service in both the wholesale and retail markets. The Companys clients are typically recording artists, managers and labels, and more recently, venues. The Company provides, on a large scale, the instant recording of live events made available to attendees immediately succeeding an event. The Company makes this possible through its custom mobile recording and manufacturing facilities acquired in the acquisition of DiscLive, Inc. The rigs as they are called are comprised of proprietary software, custom-designed hardware, intellectual property, and trade secrets, which have enabled DiscLive to become the first company to successfully implement such a product on a broad scale. In connection with the on-site sales opportunities, there are extensions to the base distribution model in which many more opportunities to grow through offering content on the Internet, via USB key chain devices, and popular player devices such as Apples iPod.
22
Additionally, through the increased 2004 venue presence of DiscLive, the brand has become more recognized and the Company has identified a new demand for DiscLive systems which can be installed into venues, and which enable venues to produce live discs of their events with some services provided by DiscLive. The Company plans to capture additional revenues through the sale of hardware, maintenance contracts, and per disc royalty fees at all permanent venue locations. The Company also expects to generate revenue through ancillary services such as blank product, e-commerce, and all other production requirements that a venue would need to successfully implement our product.
Immediatek has a window of opportunity with DiscLive. After the company established a brand through continued excellent press and performances with major recording acts, the company will act swiftly to increase its bandwidth in order to handle multiple tours and venue installations. By continuing to improve the brand, speed up the processes, offer new innovations such as instant DVDs and USB key chain products, DiscLive will continue to gain market share. As the company continues to gain momentum, we will springboard off of the original Immediatek NetBurn Secure technology to offer artists and labels true end-to-end secure products helping to reduce piracy and bootlegging and to preserve artist and label revenues.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock. The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock at a par value of $0.001.
The Company could be required to secure additional financing to fully implement its entire business plan. There are no guarantees that such financing will be available to the Company, or if available, will be on terms and conditions satisfactory to management.
The Company does not have any preliminary agreements or understandings between the company and its stockholders/officers and directors with respect to loans or financing to operate the company. The Company currently has no arrangements or commitments for accounts and accounts receivable financing. There can be no assurance that any such financing can be obtained or, if obtained, that it will be on reasonable terms.
On December 31, 2004, the Company had 29,780,655 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock issued and outstanding.
On March 17, 2003, the Company entered into two separate Asset Purchase Agreements (Agreements) with Paul Marin, an individual, and Zach Bair, an individual and president of the Company, to purchase certain strategic assets. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreements, the Company issued to Mr. Marin 7,360,000 restricted shares and to Mr. Bair 10,741,397 restricted shares of its $0.001 par value common stock for a combined total of 18,101,397 shares. The acquired assets are valued at $7,360 and $10,741 (based on the par value of the underlying shares) for a combined total of $18,101. The fair market value of the underlying shares was $0.13 per share on March 17, 2003. The difference between the par value of $18,101 and the fair market value of $2,353,182, or $2,335,081, represents compensation expense to Mr. Bair and Mr. Marin.
23
On May 20, 2004, the Company issued 1,666,667 shares of the Companys $0.001 par value common stock to in connection with the April 9, 2004 acquisition of DiscLive, Inc. The acquired company is valued at $600,000. The fair market value of the underlying shares was $0.36 per share on the April 9, 2004 date of acquisition.
On May 20, 2004, the Company issued 63,333 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock for the conversion of debt in the amount of $9,500.
On May 20, 2004, the Company issued 10,000 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock for assets valued at $3,000. The fair market value of the underlying shares was $0.30 per share.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company issued 2,219,153 shares of its par value common stock to various individuals for consulting services valued at $385,996.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company sold 2,863,284 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock to ten accredited investors for the sum of $857,423.
There have been no other issuances of common and/or preferred stock.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123R (SFAS 123R), a revision of SFAS No. 123 (SFAS 123), Accounting for Stock Based Compensation. This statement requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. The compensation expense will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. Public entities that file as small business issuers will be required to apply SFAS 123R in the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 123R will require us to record compensation expense for the unvested fair value of our equity instruments given to our employees. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS 123R on our financial position and results of operations. However we believe that the adoption of SFAS 123R will have no effect on our cash flows but may have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

The officers serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. Information as to the directors and executive officers of the Company is as follows:
26
Zach Bair, Chairman and CEO (42) Bair has been a professional consultant in the IT industry since 1986, and in recent years gained local recognition for founding Richardson, Texas based software company PowerUp Networks. He is an expert in business process engineering through the use of technology and coined the term Efficient Solutions Provider, or ESP. Bair started PowerUp Networks in 2000. Before and during his tenure at Sabre, Inc., Bair conceived and authored what is now the flagship product of PowerUp Networks, Rapid Network Deployment, or RND. In terms of an agreement between Bair and Sabre, Sabre continues to use the product internally as WARPED, and Bair has the rights to develop the product for the broader marketplace. Bair funded this venture with a seed round of financing of $600,000 and then brought on Alan Shannon, formerly of Read-Rite Corporation, EDS and TI, as CEO, and Peter Donovan, formerly of Nortel, as Chief Marketing Officer. Kevin Clark was then enlisted as VP for Development. In less than three months, the core PowerUp management team, led by Bair and Shannon, raised over $12 million in a Series B funding round.
Bair is a U.S. Air Force veteran, and attended Louisiana State University in Shreveport, LA, and then Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, majoring in English. Bair has provided consulting services to Fortune 500 companies such as Marathon Oil, Arco Oil & Gas, MD Anderson Cancer Center, Nortel, Sprint, EDS, and Sabre.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors
Immediatek, Inc.
Richardson, Texas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Immediatek, Inc. (the Company), as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 Immediatek, Inc. as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 5 to the financial statements, the Company has had limited operations and have not commenced planned principal operations. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 5. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Advertising costs
The Company expenses all costs of advertising as incurred. There were no advertising costs included in general and administrative expenses as of December 31, 2004 and 2003.
Use of estimates
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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2004. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash and payables because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.
Impairment of long-lived assets
Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or is impaired.
In 2004, during the course of the Companys strategic review of its online disk burning software operations, the Company recorded a pretax charge of $68,701 ($23,358 after tax) relating to the impairment of certain intangible assets held for use when it was determined that future undiscounted cash flows associated with these assets were insufficient to recover their carrying values. The impaired assets principally represent the companys historic ownership interest in product rights and license agreements. The assets were written down to fair value, which was determined on the basis of future discounted cash flows.
Reporting on the costs of start-up activities
Statement of Position 98-5 (SOP 98-5), Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up Activities, which provides guidance on the financial reporting of start-up costs and organizational costs, requires most costs of start-up activities and organizational costs to be expensed as incurred. SOP 98-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. With the adoption of SOP 98-5, there has been little or no effect on the Companys financial statements.
Loss per share
Net loss per share is provided in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS #128) Earnings Per Share. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing losses available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had no dilutive common stock equivalents, such as stock options or warrants.
Dividends
The Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding payment of dividends. No dividends have been paid or declared since inception.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Segment reporting
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. The Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.
Consolidation policy
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiary partnerships and corporations, after elimination of all material intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits. Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries representing ownership of at least 20% but less than 50%, are accounted for under the equity method. Nonmarketable investments in which the Company has less than 20% ownership and in which it does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee are initially recorded at cost and periodically reviewed for impairment.
Income taxes
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS No. 109) for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.
Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.
Recent pronouncements
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4. SFAS No. 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handing costs, and spoilage. This statement requires that those items be recognized as current period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of so abnormal which was the criterion specified in ARB No. 43. In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the cost of production be based on normal capacity of the production facilities. This pronouncement is effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2005. The Company does not believe adopting this new standard will have a significant impact to its financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004). Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. The new standard will be effective for the Company in the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company expects the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its financial statements assuming employee stock options are granted in the future.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based awards to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations and has adopted the disclosure-only alternative of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Options granted to consultants, independent representatives and other non-employees are accounted for using the fair value method as prescribed by SFAS No. 123.

Note 4 Goodwill
Management periodically reviews the carrying value of acquired intangible assets to determine whether impairment may exist. The Company considers relevant cash flow and profitability information, including estimated future operating results in assessing whether the carrying value of the intangible can be recovered. If the Company determines that the carrying value will not be recovered from undiscounted future cash flows of the acquired business, the Company considers such carrying value as impaired and reduces them by a charge to operations in the amount of the impairment.
Note 5 Going concern
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has accumulated net losses from operations totaling $5,716,334, and $ 3,566,909 as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Companys current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $ 972,288 and its total liabilities exceeded its total assets by $ 339,982. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
The Companys financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has generated limited revenue from its planned principal operations. In order to obtain the necessary capital, the Company raised funds via private placement offering. If the securities offering does not provide sufficient capital, some of the shareholders of the Company have agreed to provide sufficient funds as a loan over the next twelve-month period. However, the Company is dependent upon its ability to secure equity and/or debt financing and there are no assurances that the Company will be successful, without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
