Forward Looking Statements
This document includes statements that may constitute forward-looking
statements made pursuant to the Safe harbor provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation reform Act of 1995. The Company would like to caution
certain readers regarding certain forward-looking statements in this documents
and in all if its communications to shareholders and others, on managements
projections, estimates and all other communications. Statements that are based
on managements projections, estimates and assumptions are forward-looking
statements, the words believe, expect, anticipate, intend and similar
expressions generally identify forward-looking statements. While the Company
believes in the veracity of all statements made herein, forward-looking
statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates, and assumptions
that, while considered reasonable by the Company, are inherently subject to
significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies
and know and unknown risks. Many of the uncertainties and contingencies can
affect events and the Company's actual results and could cause its actual
results to differ materially from this expressed in any forward-looking
statements made by, or on behalf, of the Company.
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
S3 Investment Company, Inc. ("the Company" or "SEIH") was
incorporated under the laws of California under the name of Retail Windows,
Inc. on April 19, 2000 to engage in any lawful activity as shall be
appropriate under laws of the State of California. On June 30, 2001 the
Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to Axtion
Foods, Inc. Prior to April 2003, Axtion Foods, Inc. was engaged in the
development, manufacturing and distribution of health bars and health drinks.
The business plan was not fully implemented and on April 16, 2003 Axtion
Foods, Inc. changed its name to S3I Holdings, Inc. and pursuant to the Share
Exchange Agreement (Agreement) closed the definitive agreement to acquire all
of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Securesoft Systems, Inc., a
Delaware corporation, making Securesoft Systems, Inc (Securesoft) a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and exchanging all of Securesoft's
capital stock for shares of Company's authorized but un-issued shares of
common stock as provided in Agreement.
Further in connection with the Share Exchange Agreement, the
controlling shareholders of the Company surrendered their stock in exchange
for transfer of all right, title and interest to the sports nutrition products
developed by the company since its inception. In accordance with the
agreement, it was the intention of the parties that the company would acquire
all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Securesoft in exchange
solely for the number of shares of the Company's authorized but un-issued
common stock and that the exchange qualify as a tax-free reorganization under
section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and
related sections there under; and the exchange qualify as a transaction in
securities exempt from registration or qualification under the Securities Act
of 1933 and under the applicable securities laws of each state or jurisdiction
where the shareholders reside.
Securesoft Systems, Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary, was
incorporated in September 1999. Securesoft develops, markets and sells
enterprise compliance and risk management software solutions enabling clients
to ensure that privacy, ebusiness and security policies remain aligned with
regulatory requirements, and an organization's business strategies and
performance goals. The Securesoft software provides a structured approach that
combines knowledge of current business processes and systems, an understanding
of related legislation and the use of cohesive teams that are experienced with
the issues and objectives surrounding compliance. Securesofts implementation
services include compliance gap analysis, risk management, cost benefit
analysis, implementation strategies and monitoring.
On April 12, 2004 the Company's Board of Directors elected to
be regulated as a business investment company under the Investment Company Act
of 1940. As a business development company ("BDC"), the Company is required to
maintain at least 70% of its assets invested in "eligible portfolio
companies", which are loosely defined as any domestic company which is not
publicly traded or that has assets less than $4 million. As of September 30,
2004 the Company's sole portfolio investment was Securesoft Systems, Inc., of
which it owned 100% of the capital stock.
In June of 2004 the office was moved to Temecula, California
and administrative changes were made to help cut overhead and concentrate on
adding portfolio companies that are cash flow positive. Continued efforts in
this regard have culminated in the resignation of Wayne Yamamoto as Chief
Executive Officer and the appointment of Chris Bickel as Chief Executive
Officer in September of 2004. On October 12, 2004 the Company changes it's
name to S3 Investment Company, Inc. to properly reflect the nature of its
business.
Investment Strategy
S3 Investment Company, Inc. intends to make strategic
investments in cash-flow positive companies with perceived growth potential.
The Investment Committee has adopted a charter wherein these two criteria a
weighed against other criteria including strategic fit, investment amount,
management ability, etc. In principle, the Company will prefer to make
investments in companies where S3I can acquire at least a 51% ownership
interest in the outstanding capital of the portfolio company.
3
As a
Business Development Company, the Company is required to have at lease 70% of
its assets in "eligible portfolio companies." It is stated in the Investment
Committee Charter that the Company will endeavor to maintain this minimum
asset ratio.
Portfolio Investments
The Company presently has one portfolio investment:
Securesoft Systems, Inc., a Delaware company specializing in the development,
and marketing of compliance and risk management software solutions. The
Company owns 100% of the common stock of Securesoft Systems, Inc., which it
acquired in exchange for 20,076,644 shares of the Company's common stock on
April 16, 2003. As of June 30, 2004, the Company's investment in Securesoft
Systems, Inc. was valued at $0.00 in recognition of Securesoft's history of
losses and current liabilities
SECURESOFT SYSTEMS, INC.
During the last fiscal year, ending June 30, 2004, Securesoft
experienced a severe decline in sales. This was due to management dropping its
sales effort and trying to make changes to its software. As a result the
software product became unstable and sales were not possible. New management
was brought in and focus was placed on the development of new software
(immunity 2.0), which is not yet finished at this time. Delays associated with
the development of this new software program added to the lack of revenues.
The Immunity 2.0 software is being developed with the intent
to market to larger health care facilities, as well as to companies in the
financial, banking, and insurance industries. Companies within these
industries are required by law to comply with a number of federal regulations.
Immunity 2.0 can be used as a compliance program across regulations and across
industries. Completion of the new software is scheduled for November of 2004.
The most recent management change has stepped up its efforts to form
partnerships and marketing alliances so that when the new product is ready for
the market the market will be ready for it. The focus of the company will be
to find reseller and distribution partners who will be able to sell Immunity
2.0 as part of their overall compliance solution. This will add value to our
reseller and distribution partners, as well as provide a revenue stream for
Securesoft, without adding additional overhead to our operational budget.
Securesoft plans to focus its initial efforts in the healthcare industry,
before branching out to the insurance and financial sectors.
Employees
Exclusive of Securesoft operations, S3 Investment Company,
Inc. presently has two employees who serve in administrative positions.
Management intends to hire additional employees only as needed and as funds
are available. In such cases compensation to management and employees will be
considered with prevailing wages for services rendered.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
S3 Investment, Inc. subleases approximately 2,337 square
feet in Temecula, CA which serves as the headquarters for both S3 Investment
Company, Inc. and Securesoft Systems, Inc.. The Company uses this space on a
month-to-month basis as part of its management contract with Javelin Advisory
Group.
Management believes that its facilities are adequate for its
present business.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are a number of cases pending involving S3 Investment
Company, Inc. and/or Securesoft Systems, Inc. The following is a complete
list.
Securesoft was named as a defendant in a case entitled I-Sol,
Inc. V. Securesoft Systems, Inc. The matter was submitted to binding
arbitration before a JAMS Judge of the Orange County Superior Court on August
15, 2003. Judgment was awarded to the plaintiff in the amount of $77,000.00.
The Company is presently seeking a settlement with the plaintiff for a lesser
amount.
S3I Holdings, Inc and Securesoft were named defendants in a
case entitled Fink and Villella V. Yamamoto, Berlandier, Luke Zouvas, Mark
Zouvas, S3I and Securesoft. Fink and Villella filed complaint on November 20,
2003 and filed amended complaint on April 16, 2004. S3I filed a counterclaim
on May 18, 2004 against Villella and on August 16, 2004 Villella was dismissed
out of the case. Fink has continued to pursue the action. The Company and its
counsel feel that this case will be dismissed within the next month based on
the facts. S3I Holdings, Inc was plaintiff in a case entitled S3I Holdings,
Inc. v. Fink. S3I Holdings filed a complaint in October 10, 2003 for
injunctive relief, misrepresentation and fraud. The action was taken to stop
the illegal sale of stock. The action was taken too late and the sale of stock
took place. Any amount that would have been due Fink was more than offset by
the stock sale.
4
S3I
Holdings, Inc. and Securesoft were named defendants in a case entitled Radford
v. Yamamoto, Berlandier, S3I, Securesoft and Grant. Radford filed complaint on
February 10, 2004 alleging nonpayment of back wages. Defendants answered the
complaint on July 9,2004. Stipulated mediation before an arbitrator will be
completed by November 29, 2004. The Company feels the claim is baseless and
that it will receive a favorable ruling.
Securesoft was named defendant in a case entitled Kim
Anderson v. Securesoft Systems, Inc. Securesoft failed to answer complaint and
a Court Judgment was awarded in favor of the defendant in the amount of
$66,323.92. This amount is for back office rent. The Company is seeking to
settle with the plaintiff for a lesser amount.
S3I Holdings was named defendant in a case entitled
Professional Traders Fund, LLC v. S3I Holdings, Inc, and Luke Zouvas. A
judgment was rendered against S3I and Zouvas by the Supreme Court of the State
of New York for the amount of $274,239.60. The court is at this time reviewing
this judgment based on the fact that the award to the plaintiff was based on
forged documents. The Company and its counsel are confident that this judgment
will be dismissed.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
A special meeting of shareholders of S3 Investments Company,
Inc. was held on October 12, 2003 where the following actions were taken by a
majority vote of shareholders:
1. The Company's Articles of Incorporation were amended:
a. To authorize 2,020,000,000 shares of capital stock of the company, of which
2 billion will relate to common stock, subject to further designation by the
Board of Directors of the company, and 20 million will relate to preferred
stock, subject to further designation by the Board of Directors of the
Company.
b. To change the name of the corporation to S3 Investment Company, Inc.
c. To permit action upon the written consent of less than all shareholders of
the Company.
d. To authorize the Company's Board of Directors, without the consent of the
stockholders of the corporation, to adopt any recapitalization affecting the
outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation by effecting a forward
or reverse split of all of the outstanding shares of any class of capital
stock of the corporation, with appropriate adjustments to the corporation's
capital accounts, provided that the recapitalization does not require any
amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the corporation

record of the Company's common stock.
Dividends
The Company has never paid a cash dividend on its common
stock. Payment of dividends is at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors plans to retain earnings, if any, for operations and

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
Except as otherwise noted, the securities described in this
Item 5 were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. Each such issuance was made
pursuant to individual contracts which are discrete from one another and are
made only with persons who were sophisticated in such transactions and who had
knowledge of and access to sufficient information about the Company to make an
informed investment decision. Among the information provided was the fact that
the securities issued were restricted securities. No commissions were paid in
connection with the transactions described below unless specifically noted.
From July 1, 2003 through October 13, 2004 the following
unregistered securities were issued:
Between December 1, 2003 and June 30, 2004 the company issued
convertible debentures in the amount of $729,000.00. All debentures are due
within six months of issue and carry a rate of interest of eight percent (8%)
per year on the unpaid principal. The holders of the debentures are entitled,
at their option, to convert the principal amount of these debentures plus
accrued interest into shares of the Company's common stock at a price per
share equal to a 50% discount to current market. In the event of bankruptcy
all debentures convert to shares of common stock.
Between April 1, 2004 and June 30, 2004 the company issued
13,910490 shares of common stock upon the conversion of $249,000.00 of these
convertible debentures. The stock was issued under a regulation E exemption.
Between July 1, 2004 and October 13, 2004 the company issued
82,200,000 shares of common stock upon the conversion of $470,000.00 of these
convertible debentures. The stock was issued under a regulation E exemption.
As of June 30, 2004 S3 Investment Company, Inc had 38,039,687
shares of common stock outstanding.
ITEM 6. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The following information should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in
this Form 10-K.
Plan of Operation
On April 12, 2004 the Company's Board of Directors elected to
be regulated as a business investment company under the Investment Company Act
of 1940. As a business development company ("BDC"), the Company is required to
maintain at least 70% of its assets invested in "eligible portfolio
companies", which are loosely defined as any domestic company which is not
publicly traded or that has assets less than $4 million.
As of April 28, 2004, management has recognized that there is
a deficiency in liquidity. Such deficiency has been noted in the notes to the
financial statements and the audit opinion. To remedy this situation, the
Board of Directors authorized management to file Form 1-E with the Commission
notifying of its intent to sell up to $5 million of the Company's common stock
under a Regulation E exemption.
S3 Investment Company, Inc. presently has one portfolio
investment, Securesoft Systems, Inc. No additional portfolio investments were
made this past year. Management anticipates making additional portfolio
investments as opportunities present themselves in the coming year.
6
Currently, there are no commitments for material expenditures. It should be
noted that the Company's auditors Chisholm & Associates have expressed in
their audit opinion letter that there is substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.
In October of 2004 S3 Investment Company, Inc. signed a
management contract with Javelin Advisory Group to provide administrative
services. Javelin will provide services such as accounting, public relations,
and various other administrative functions as well as office rent. This
service will eliminate virtually all overhead costs plus it will free up
present staff to concentrate on revenue generating activities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's financial statements present an impairment in
terms of liquidity. As of June 30, 2004 the Company had $121,391 in current
assets and the Company's total assets exceeded total liabilities by
approximately $303,512. The Company has accumulated $609,924 of net
operating losses through June 30, 2004, which may used to reduce taxes in
future years through 2022. The use of these losses to reduce future income
taxes will depend on the generation of sufficient taxable income prior to the
expiration of the net operating loss carry-forwards. The potential tax benefit
of the net operating loss carry-forwards have been offset by a valuation
allowance of the same amount. The Company has not yet established revenues to
cover its operating costs. Management believes that the Company will soon be
able to generate revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs through the
acquisition of operating subsidiaries. In the event the Company is unable to
do so, and if suitable financing is unavailable, there is substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Results of Operation
For the year ended June 30, 2004 the Company had a net loss
of $609,924 compared to a net loss of $674,162 for six months ended June 30, 2003
and a $56,569 profit for the year ended December 31, 2002. During the
fiscal year, ending June 30, 2004, Secursoft experienced a severe decline in
sales. This was due to a number of factors not the least of which was
destabilizing the software product itself. Focus and effort was then placed on
the development of new software, which is scheduled for completion in November
2004.
The new software, Immunity 2.0, is compliance and risk
management software that will be marketed to larger health care facilities, as
well as to companies in the financial, banking, and insurance industries. The
marketing effort will focus on working with resellers and distribution
partners who will sell Immunity 2.0 as part of their overall compliance
solution. By partnering with these marketing specialists we can generate
revenue without having to develop own marketing team. This will allow us to
keep overhead low and allow us to concentrate on product enhancement and
service implementation.

RISK FACTORS
We are subject to various risks that may materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this filing before deciding to purchase our common stock. If any of these risks or uncertainties actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
We Have Historically Lost Money
and Losses May Continue in the Future
We have historically lost money. The combined loss for the year ending June
30, 2004 was approximately $609,924 and future losses are
likely to occur. Accordingly, we may experience significant liquidity and cash
flow problems if we are not able to raise additional capital as needed and on
acceptable terms. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in
reaching or maintaining profitable operations.
We Will Need to Raise Additional Capital to Finance Operations
Our operations have relied almost entirely on external financing to fund our
operations. Such financing has historically come from a combination of
borrowings and from the sale of common stock and assets to third parties. We
will need to raise additional capital to fund our anticipated operating
expenses and future expansion. Among other things, external financing will be
required to cover our operating costs. We cannot assure you that financing
whether from external sources or related parties will be available if needed
or on favorable terms. The sale of our common stock to raise capital may cause
dilution to our existing shareholders. Our inability to obtain adequate
financing will result in the need to curtail business operations. Any of these
events would be materially harmful to our business and may result in a lower
stock price.
There is Substantial Doubt About Our Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
Due to Recurring Losses and Working Capital Shortages, Which Means that We May
Not Be Able to Continue Operations Unless We Obtain Additional Funding
The report of our independent accountants on our June 30, 2004 financial
statements included an explanatory paragraph indicating that there is
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to
recurring losses and working capital shortages. Our ability to continue as a
going concern will be determined by our ability to obtain additional funding.
Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.
Our Common Stock May Be Affected By Limited Trading Volume and May
Fluctuate Significantly
Prior to this offering, there has been a limited public market for our common
stock and there can be no assurance that an active trading market for our
common stock will develop. As a result, this could adversely affect our
shareholders' ability to sell our common stock in short time periods, or
possibly at all. Our common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience
in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations that could adversely
affect the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating
performance. In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly
fluctuations in our financial results and changes in the overall economy or
the condition of the financial markets could cause the price of our common
stock to fluctuate substantially. Substantial fluctuations in our stock price
could significantly reduce the price of our stock.
Our Common Stock is Traded on the "Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board," Which
May Make it More Difficult For Investors to Resell Their Shares Due to
Suitability Requirements
Our common stock is currently traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board
(OTCBB) where we expect it to remain for the foreseeable future.
Broker-dealers often decline to trade in OTCBB stocks given that the market
for such securities is often limited, the stocks are more volatile, and the
risk to investors are greater. These factors may reduce the potential market
for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may
make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to
third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This could cause our stock
price to decline.
We Could Fail to Retain or Attract Key Personnel
Our future success depends, in significant part, on the continued services of
Chris Bickel our Chief Executive. We cannot assure you that we would be able
to find an appropriate replacement for key personnel. Any loss or interruption
of our key personnel's services could adversely affect our ability to develop
our business plan. We have no employment agreements or life insurance on Mr.
Bickel.
California Law and Our Charter May Inhibit a Takeover of Our Company That
Stockholders May Consider Favorable
Provisions of California law, such as its business combination statute, may
have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of
our company. As a result, these provisions could limit the price some
investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common
stock.
8
Our Officers
and Directors Have the Ability to Exercise Significant Influence Over Matters
Submitted for Stockholder Approval and Their Interests May Differ From Other
Stockholders
Our executive officers and directors have the ability to appoint a majority to
the Board of Directors. Accordingly, our directors and executive officers,
whether acting alone or together, may have significant influence in
determining the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted
to our Board for approval, including issuing common and preferred stock, and
appointing officers, which could have a material impact on mergers,
acquisitions, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our
assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control. The
interests of these board members may differ from the interests of the other
stockholders.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR OPERATION AS A
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT COMPANY
We May Change Our Investment Policies Without Further Shareholder Approval
Although we are limited by the Investment Company Act of 1940 with respect to
the percentage of our assets that must be invested in qualified investment
companies, we are not limited with respect to the minimum standard that any
investment company must meet, nor the industries in which those investment
companies must operate. We may make investments without shareholder approval
and such investments may deviate significantly from our historic operations.
Any change in our investment policy or selection of investments could
adversely affect our stock price, liquidity, and the ability of our
shareholders to sell their stock.
Our Investments May Not Generate Sufficient Income to Cover Our Operations
We intend to make investments into qualified companies that will provide the
greatest overall return on our investment. However, certain of those
investments may fail, in which case we will not receive any return on our
investment. In addition, our investments may not generate income, either in
the immediate future, or at all. As a result, we may have to sell additional
stock, or borrow money, to cover our operating expenses. The effect of such
actions could cause our stock price to decline or, if we are not successful in
raising additional capital, we could cease to continue as a going concern.

evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the our
management as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this Annual
Report on Form 10-K, our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined

that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,

Changes in Internal Controls. There were no significant
changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly

no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, and therefore there were
no corrective actions taken. However, the design of any system of controls is
based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events
and there is no certainty that any design will succeed in achieving its stated
goal under all potential future considerations, regardless of how remote.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of
Directors and Stockholders of
S3 Investment Company, Inc.
Temecula, CA
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of S3 Investment Company, Inc.
as of June 30, 2004 and the related statements of operations, stockholders'
equity and cash flows for the year then ended and for the six months ended
June 30, 2004 and the year ended December 31, 2002. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
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. 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 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 S3 Investment Company, Inc.
as of June 30, 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the six months ended June 30, 2004 and the years ended December 31, 2002 and
2001 are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2, the Company
has had recurring operating losses and is dependent on financing to continue
operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern. Management's plans in regard to those matters are also
described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2004
NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a. Organization
S3I Holdings, Inc. (the Company), was organized under the laws of the State of California in April 2000. The original name of the Company was Rental Windows, Inc. which was subsequently changed on August 10, 2001 to Axtion Foods, Inc. (Axtion). In June 2001, the Company adopted a business plan to distribute nutritional foods and supplements. In March 2003, while in the development stage, this business plan ceased.
On April 16, 2003, Axtion completed an agreement and plan of share exchange with SecureSoft Systems, Inc. (SecureSoft), a private California corporation and changed its name to S3I Holdings, Inc.. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company exchanged 15,727,197 shares of common stock for all of the outstanding shares of common stock of SecureSoft. In addition to the share exchange, the Company cancelled 20,000,000 shares of common stock. The management of Axtion resigned and was replaced by the management of SecureSoft. The acquisition has been recorded as a reverse acquisition whereby SecureSoft is the accounting survivor and Axtion is the legal survivor; therefore, the historical financial statements presented prior to the acquisition are those of SecureSoft.
The financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2003 are consolidated with SecureSoft. However on April , 2004, the company registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a Business Development Company. In so doing has effected a change in accounting principle ( see below) and no longer consolidates it's financial statements with SecureSoft. Therefore the financial statements at June 30, 2004 are unconsolidated. The Company is currently engaged as an investment company developing its various business interest, specifically SecureSoft's business of developing HIPPA compliance software.
b. Accounting Method
The Company recognizes income and expense on the accrual basis of accounting.
c. Revenue Recognition
For the period June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, revenue from the sale of software and consulting is recognized when an agreement is made, delivery is complete, no significant obligations remain unfulfilled and collection of the receivable is probable. In instances where a significant obligation exists, revenue recognition is delayed until the obligation has been satisfied.
d. Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
e. Investments
The company has recorded it's investment in SecureSoft at cost which approximates the Fair Market Value.

f. Property and Equipment
Property and Equipment consists of the following at June 30, 2004:
Computers and Equipment $ 0 Accumulated Depreciation 0 Total Property & Equipment $ 0 The provision for depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation expense for the year ended June 30, 2004, six months ended June 30, 2003 and for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $0, $6,819, and $8,795 respectively.
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the Company records impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used or to be disposed of when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount. As of June 30, 2004, no impairments have been recognized.
g. Provision for Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes has been recorded due to net operating loss carry forward totaling approximately $600,000 that will be offset against future taxable income. These NOL carry forward begin to expire in the year 2019.
Deferred tax assets and the valuation account is as follows at June 30, 2004:

h. Stock Options and Warrants
As permitted by FASB Statement No. 123 "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123),and amended under FASB Statement 148, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure"(SFAS No. 148), the Company has elected to measure and record compensation cost relative to employee stock option costs in accordance with Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations and make pro forma disclosures of net income (loss) and basic earnings (loss) per share as if the fair value method of valuing stock options have been applied. Under APB Opinion 25, compensation cost is recognized for stock options granted to employees when the option price is less than the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
For purposes of the pro forma disclosures and to measure and record consideration paid to non-employees in the form of stock options or warrants, the Company applies "SFAS NO, 123", as amended under SFAS 148 which requires the Company to estimate the fair value of each dilutive instrument (stock options and warrants) award at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
i. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The computation of earnings (loss) per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding at the date of the financial statements. Fully dilutive earnings per share has not been presented because it equals primary earnings per share.

j. 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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and expenses during the reporting period. In these financial statements, assets, liabilities and expenses involve extensive reliance on management's estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 1 - Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
k. Financial Instruments
The recorded amounts for financial instruments, including cash equivalents, receivables, investments, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and long-term debt approximate their market values as of June 30, 2004. The Company has no investments in derivative financial instruments.
.
NOTE 2 - Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has had recurring operating losses and is dependent on financing to continue operation. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
