NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Company Activities

Sovereign Exploration Associates International, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Utah in 1980. The company was formerly known as CALI Holdings, Inc. On October 26, 2005 the Company changed its name from CALI Holdings, Inc. to Sovereign Exploration Associates International, Inc.


On January 5, 2004 the Company’s shareholders consented to the proposal to allow the Company to adopt business development company ("BDC") status under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act"). A BDC is a specialized type of Investment Company under the 1940 Act. A BDC may primarily be engaged in the business of furnishing capital and managerial expertise to companies that do not have ready access to capital through conventional financial channels; such companies are termed "eligible portfolio companies". The Company as a BDC, may invest in other securities, however such investments may not exceed 30% of the Company's total asset value at the time of such investment. The Company filed its BDC election with the SEC (Form N-54A) on January 13, 2004.

The Company provides equity and long-term debt financing to small and medium--sized private companies in a variety of industries throughout the United States. The Company’s investment objective is to achieve long-term capital appreciation in the value of its investments and to provide current income primarily from interest, dividends and fees paid by its portfolio companies.

Basis of Presentation

Different accounting principles are used in the preparation of financial statements of a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and therefore, the results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 are presented using the guidelines outlined under the 1940 Act. By becoming a BDC, the Company has effected a change in accounting principle and no longer consolidates its investments in portfolio companies in accordance with Article 6 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933 and Securities Act of 1934 in which a BDC does not consolidate portfolio company investments, including those in which it has a controlling interest.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue using the accrual method of accounting. The accrual method provides for a better matching of revenues and expenses.

The Company also accrues interest income on loans made to various portfolio companies. The Company accrues the interest on such loans until the portfolio company has the necessary cash flow to repay such interest. If the Company’s analysis of the portfolio company’s performance indicates that the portfolio company may not have the ability to pay the interest and principal on a loan, the Company will make an allowance provision on that entity and in effect cease recognizing interest income on that loan until all principal has been paid. However, the Company will make exceptions to this policy if the investment is well secured and in the process of collection.

For certain investment companies, the Company provides management services and recognizes an agreed upon fixed monthly fee and expenses.

-7-

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs, except for costs associated with direct-response advertising, are charged to operations when incurred.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Net (Loss) Per Common Share

Net (Loss) per common share is computed using the weighted average of shares outstanding during the periods presented in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share. As discussed further in Note K, any references to amounts per share or weighted average common shares have been restated to reflect reverse splits.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes time deposits with original maturities of three months or less.

Segments

The Company operates as one segment as defined by the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.


Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost. The cost of equipment is charged against income over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method of depreciation. Repairs and maintenance which are considered betterments and do not extend the useful life of equipment are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and accumulated depreciation is removed from the accounts and the resulting profit and loss are reflected in income.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles

The Company records Goodwill in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Intangible assets such as goodwill are not amortized; instead the Company will review the goodwill not less frequently than annually to see if it has been impaired. If an impairment occurs, it will be recorded as an expense in that period. During the three months ending September 30, 2005 and 2004, no adjustments for impairment to goodwill have been made.

NOTE B - INVESTMENTS

Valuation of Investments

The most significant estimate inherent in the preparation of the Company's financial statements is the valuation of its investments and the related unrealized appreciation or depreciation.

Upon conversion to a BDC, the Company engaged independent business valuation experts to value selected portfolio companies, which had significant activity in the Company’s first year as a BDC. The Board of Directors states all other portfolio companies and investments at fair market value as determined under a good faith standard. The Company analyzes the investments on a regular basis and records unrealized gains or losses if and when an investment significantly gains or loses market value as determined by a good faith standard.

The Company has investments in 5 controlled (portfolio) corporations as of September 30, 2005.

Overview
On January 5, 2004 the Company shareholders approved the proposal to allow the Company to adopt business development company (“BDC”) status under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”). A BDC is a specialized type of Investment Company under the 1940 Act. A BDC may primarily be engaged in the business of furnishing capital and managerial expertise to companies that do not have ready access to capital through conventional financial channels; such companies are termed “eligible portfolio companies”. The Company as a BDC, may invest in other securities, however such investments may not exceed 30% of the Company’s total asset value at the time of such investment. The Company filed its BDC election with the SEC (Form N-54A) on January 13, 2004.

The Company is a financial service company providing financing and advisory services to small and medium-sized companies throughout the United States. Effective January 5, 2004 the Company shareholders approved the proposal to allow the Company to convert to a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”).

The Company’s investments in portfolio companies typically range from $100,000 to $1,000,000. The Company invests either directly in the equity of a company through equity shares or through a debt instrument. The Company’s debt instruments usually do not have a maturity of more than five years. Interest is either currently paid or deferred.

Investment opportunities are identified for the Company by the management team. Investment proposals may, however, come to the Company from many sources, and may include unsolicited proposals from the public and from referrals from banks, lawyers, accountants and other members of the financial community. The management team brings an extensive network of investment referral relationships.

The Company’s principal offices are located at 7658 Municipal Drive, Orlando, Florida. The office is equipped with an integrated network of computers for word processing, financial analysis, accounting and loan services. The Company believes its office space is suitable for its needs for the foreseeable future.

On October 26, 2005 the Company changed its name from CALI Holdings, Inc. to Sovereign Exploration Associates International (SEAI), Inc. (the Company).
The Company provides equity and long-term debt financing to small and medium-sized private companies in a variety of industries throughout the United States. The company’s investment objective is to achieve long-term capital appreciation in the value of its investments and to provide current income primarily from interest, dividends and fees paid by its portfolio companies.

As referenced in Note L, the company on October 17, 2005 divested all of its portfolio companies at the time of the agreement with Sovereign Exploration Associates International, Inc. with the exception of Gulf Coast Records, LLC which shall be divested upon the filing of Form SB-2.
 
Valuation of Investments

The most significant estimate inherent in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements is the valuation of its investments and the related unrealized appreciation or depreciation.

Upon the Company’s conversion to a business development company, the Company employed independent business valuation experts to value selected portfolio companies. The Board of Directors determined all other portfolio companies and investments at fair market value under a good faith standard. The Company analyzes and values each individual investment on a quarterly basis and records unrealized depreciation for an investment that it believes has become impaired, including where collection of a loan or realization of an equity security is doubtful. Conversely, the Company will record unrealized appreciation if it believes that the underlying portfolio company has appreciated in value.

Investments in Private Companies

The Company provides privately negotiated long-term debt and equity investment capital. The Company provides capital in the form of debt with or without equity features, such as warrants or options, often referred to as mezzanine financing. In certain situations the Company may choose to take a controlling equity position in a company. The Company’s private financing is generally used to fund growth, buyouts and acquisitions and bridge financing.

The Company’s private finance portfolio currently includes investments in a variety of industries including record company, publishing company and financial services and sports memorabilia.

The Company funds new investments using cash through the issuance of common stock. The Company intends to reinvest accrued interest, dividends and management fees into its various investments. When the Company acquires a controlling interest in a company, the Company may have the opportunity to acquire the company’s equity with its common stock. The issuance of its stock as consideration may provide the Company with the benefit of raising equity without having to access the public markets in an underwritten offering, including the added benefit of the elimination of any underwriting commission.

As a business development company, the Company is required to provide significant managerial assistance available to the companies in its investment portfolio. In addition to the interest and dividends received from the Company’s private finance investments, the Company will often generate additional fee income for the structuring, due diligence, transaction and management services and guarantees we provide to its portfolio companies.

Governmental Regulation

Business Development Company

A business development company is defined and regulated by the 1940 Act. Although the 1940 Act exempts a business development company from registration under the Act, it contains significant limitations on the operations of a business development company.

A business development company must be organized in the United States for the purpose of investing in or lending to primarily private companies and making managerial assistance available to them. A business development company may use capital provided by public shareholders and from other sources to invest in long-term, private investments in businesses. A business development company provides shareholders the ability to retain the liquidity of a publicly traded stock, while sharing in the possible benefits, if any, of investing in primarily privately owned companies. To qualify as a business development company, a company must:

·  
Have registered a class of its equity securities or have filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934;

·  
Operate for the purpose of investing in securities of certain types of portfolio companies, namely emerging companies and businesses suffering or just recovering from financial distress;

·  
Extend significant managerial assistance to such portfolio companies and;

·  
Have a majority of “disinterested” directors (as defined in the 1940 Act).

Generally, a business development company must be primarily engaged in the business of furnishing capital and providing managerial expertise to companies that do not have ready access to capital through conventional financial channels. An eligible portfolio company is generally a domestic company that is not an investment company (other than a small business investment company wholly owned by a business development company), and that:

·  
Does not have a class of securities registered on an exchange or included in the Federal Reserve Board’s over-the-counter margin list; or

·  
Is actively controlled by a business development company and has an affiliate of a business development company on its board of directors; or

·  
Meets such other criteria as may be established by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Control under the 1940 Act is presumed to exist where a business development Company beneficially owns more than 25% of the outstanding voting securities of
the portfolio company.

The 1940 Act prohibits or restricts companies subject to the 1940 Act from investing in certain types of companies such as brokerage firms, insurance companies, investment banking firms and investment companies.

As a business development company, the Company may not acquire any asset other than "qualifying assets" unless, at the time the Company makes the acquisition, the value of its qualifying assets represent at least 70% of the value of its total assets. The principal categories of qualifying assets relevant to our business are:

·  
Securities purchased in transactions not involving any public offering, the issuer of which is an eligible portfolio company;

·  
Securities received in exchange for or distributed with respect to securities described in the bullet above or pursuant to the exercise of options, warrants or rights relating to such securities;

·  
Securities of bankrupt or insolvent companies that were eligible at the time of the business development company’s initial acquisition of their securities but are no longer eligible, provided that the business development company has maintained a substantial portion of its initial investment in those companies; and

·  
Cash, cash items, government securities or high quality debt securities (within the meaning of the 1940 Act), maturing in one year or less from the time of investment.

A business development company is permitted to invest in the securities of public companies and other investments that are not qualifying assets, but those kinds of investments may not exceed 30% of the business development company’s total asset value at the time of the investment.

As a business development company, the Company is entitled to issue senior securities in the form of stock or senior securities representing indebtedness, including debt securities and preferred stock, as long as each class of senior security has asset coverage of at least 200% immediately after each such issuance.

The Company is also prohibited under the 1940 Act from knowingly participating in certain transactions with its affiliates without the prior approval of its board of directors who are not interested persons and, in some cases, prior approval by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
A business development company must make significant managerial assistance available to the issuers of eligible portfolio securities in which it invests. Making available significant managerial assistance means among other things, any arrangement whereby the business development company, through its directors, officers or employees, offers to provide and, if accepted does provide, significant guidance and counsel concerning the management, operation or business objectives and policies of a portfolio company.

The Company may be periodically examined by the Securities and Exchange Commission for compliance with the 1940 Act. As of the date of this filing the Company has not been examined by the Securities and Exchange Commission and has not been notified of a pending examination.

As with other companies regulated by the 1940 Act, a business development company must adhere to certain substantive regulatory requirements. A majority of its directors must be persons who are not interested persons, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act. Additionally, the Company is required to provide and maintain a bond issued by a reputable fidelity insurance company to protect it against larceny and embezzlement.
Furthermore, as a business development company, the Company is prohibited from protecting any director or officer against any liability to the Company or its shareholders arising from willful malfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such person's office.

The Company maintains a Code of Ethics that establishes procedures for personal investment and restricts certain transactions by its personnel. The Company’s Code of Ethics generally does not permit investment by its employees in securities that may be purchased or held by the Company. The Code of Ethics is filed as an exhibit to this 10Q, which will be on file at the SEC.

The Company may not change the nature of its business so as to cease to be, or withdraw its election as, a business development company unless authorized by vote of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities," as defined in the 1940 Act, of its shares. A majority of the outstanding voting securities of a company is defined under the 1940 Act as the lesser of: (i) 67% or more of such company's shares present at a meeting if more than 50% of the outstanding shares of such company are present and represented by proxy or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of such company. Since the Company elected to become a business development company, it has not made any substantial change in the nature of its business.

Regulated Investment Company

The Company has not elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

Compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and NYSE Corporate Governance Regulations.

On July 30, 2002, President Bush signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act"). The Sarbanes-Oxley Act imposes a wide variety of new regulatory requirements on publicly held companies and their insiders. Many of these requirements will affect the Company. For example:
·  
The Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer must now certify the accuracy of the financial statements contained in its periodic reports;

·  
The Company’s periodic reports must disclose conclusions about the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures;

·  
The Company’s periodic reports must disclose whether there were significant changes in its internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses; and

·  
The Company may not make any loan to any director or executive officer and may not materially modify any existing loans.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act has required the Company to review its current policies and procedures to determine whether it complies with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the new regulations promulgated thereunder. The Company will continue to monitor its compliance with all future regulations that are adopted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and will take actions necessary to ensure that we are in compliance.

Employees

As of September 30, 2005 the Company had five employees.

Risk Factors and Other Considerations
 
Investing in the Company’s common stock involves a high degree of risk. Careful consideration should be given to the risks described below and all other information contained in this Annual Report, including the financial statements and the related notes and the schedules as exhibits to this Annual Report.
 
Limited Operating History as a Business Development Company Which May Impair Your Ability to Assess Our Prospects.
 
Prior to January 2004 the Company had not operated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. As a result the Company has limited operating results under this regulatory framework that can demonstrate either its effect on its business or management’s ability to manage the Company under these frameworks. In addition, the Company’s management has no prior experience managing a business development company. The Company cannot assure that management will be able to operate successfully as a business development company.
 
Because there is generally no established market for which to value its investments, the Company’s board of directors’ determination of the value of its investments may differ materially from the values that a ready market or third party would attribute to these investments.
 
Under the 1940 Act the Company is required to carry its portfolio investments at market value, or, if there is no readily available market value, at fair value as determined by the board. The Company is not permitted to maintain a general reserve for anticipated loan losses. Instead, the Company is required by the 1940 Act to specifically value each individual investment and to record any unrealized depreciation for any asset that has decreased in value. Since there is typically no public market for the loans and equity securities of the companies in which it invests, the Company’s board will determine the fair value of these loans and equity securities pursuant to its valuation policy. These determinations of fair value may necessarily be somewhat subjective. Accordingly, these values may differ materially from the values that would be determined by a party or placed on the portfolio if there existed a market for our loans and equity securities.
 
Investing in Private Companies Involves a High Degree of Risk.
 
The Company’s portfolio consists of primarily long-term loans to and investments in private companies. Investments in private businesses involve a high degree of business and financial risk, which can result in substantial losses and accordingly should be considered speculative. There is generally no publicly available information about the companies in which the Company invests, and the Company relies significantly on the due diligence of its employees and agents to obtain information in connection with its investment decisions. If the Company is unable to uncover all material information about these companies, it may not make a fully informed investment decision and the Company may lose money on its investments.
 
In addition, some smaller businesses have narrower product lines and market shares than their competition, and may be more vulnerable to customer preferences, market conditions or economic downturns, which may adversely affect the return on, or the recovery of, the Company’s investment in such business.
 
The Lack of Liquidity of the Company’s Privately Held Investments may Adversely Affect Our Business.
 
Substantially all of the investments the Company expects to acquire in the future will be, subject to restrictions on resale, including in some instances, legal restrictions, or will otherwise be less liquid than publicly traded securities. The illiquidity of these investments may make it difficult for the Company to quickly obtain cash equal to the value at which it records its investments if the need arises. This could cause the Company to miss important business opportunities. In addition, if the Company were required to quickly liquidate all or a portion of its portfolio, it may realize significantly less than the value at which it had previously recorded its investments.
 
If the Industry Sectors in which the Company’s Portfolio is Concentrated Experience Adverse Economic or Business Conditions, Our Operating Results may be Negatively Impacted.
 
The Company’s customer base is primarily in the Manufacturing and Distribution; Product Marketing and Sales; Financial Services; and Sports, Entertainment & Gaming; and Management Services industry sectors. These customers can experience adverse business conditions or risks related to their industries. Accordingly, if the Company’s customers suffer due to these adverse business conditions or risks or due to economic slowdowns or downturns in these industry sectors the Company will be more vulnerable to losses in its portfolio and our operating results may be negatively impacted.
 
Some of these companies may be unable to obtain financing from public capital markets or from traditional credit sources, such as commercial banks. Accordingly, advances made to these types of customers may entail a higher degree of risk than advances made to customers who are able to utilize traditional credit sources. These conditions may also make it difficult for us to obtain repayment of our loans.
 
Economic downturns or recessions may impair the Company’s customers’ ability to repay its loans, harm its operating results.
 
Many of the companies in which the Company has made or will make investments may be susceptible to economic slowdowns or recessions. An economic slowdown may affect the ability of a company to engage in a liquidity event. The Company’s non-performing assets are likely to increase and the value of its portfolio is likely to decrease during these periods. These conditions could lead to financial losses in its portfolio and a decrease in its revenues, net income and assets.
 
The Company’s business of making private equity investments and positioning them for liquidity events also may be affected by current and future market conditions. The absence of an active senior lending environment may slow the amount of private equity investment activity generally. As a result, the pace of the Company’s investment activity may slow. In addition, significant changes in the capital markets could have an effect on the valuations of private companies and on the potential for liquidity events involving such companies. This could affect the amount and timing of gains realized on its investments.
 
The Company’s Borrowers May Default on Their Payments, Which May Have an Effect on Financial Performance.
 
Some of these companies may be unable to obtain financing from public capital markets or from traditional credit sources, such as commercial banks. Accordingly, advances made to these types of customers may entail a higher degree of risk than advances made to customers who are able to utilize traditional credit sources. These conditions may also make it difficult for the Company to obtain repayment of its loans. Numerous factors may affect a borrower’s ability to repay its loan; including the failure to meet its business plan, a downturn in its industry, or negative economic conditions. Deterioration in a borrower’s financial condition and prospects may be accompanied by deterioration in any related collateral.
 
If the Company Fails to Manage Its Growth, its Financial Results Could be Adversely Affected.
 
The Company has expanded its operations and strategic relationships at a rapid pace. The Company’s growth has placed and continues to place significant strain on its management systems and resources. The Company must continue to refine and expand its marketing capabilities, its management of the investing process, access to financing resources and technology. As the Company grows, it must continue to hire, train, supervise and manage new employees. The Company may not develop sufficient lending and administrative personnel and management and operating systems to manage its expansion effectively. If the Company is unable to manage its growth, operations could be adversely affected and the financial results could be adversely affected.
 
The Company’s Private Finance Investments May Not Produce Current Returns or Capital Gains.
 
The Company’s private finance investments are typically structured as debt securities with a relatively high fixed rate of interest and with equity features such as conversion rights, warrants or other options. As a result, the Company’s private finance investments are generally structured to generate interest income from the time they are made and may also produce a realized gain from an accompanying equity feature. The Company cannot be sure that its portfolio will generate a current return or capital gain.
 
The Company Operates in a Competitive Market for Investment Opportunities
 
The Company competes for investments with a large number of private equity funds and mezzanine funds, investment banks and other equity and non-equity based investment funds, and other sources of financing, including traditional financial services companies such as commercial banks. Some of its competitors have greater resources than the Company. Increased competition would make it more difficult for the Company to purchase or originate investments at attractive prices. As a result of this competition, sometimes the Company may be precluded from making otherwise attractive investments.
 
Investing in the Company’s Stock Is Highly Speculative and an Investor Could Lose Some or All of the Amount Invested
 
The value of the Company’s common stock may decline and may be affected by numerous market conditions, which could result in the loss of some or the entire amount invested in its shares. The securities markets frequently experience extreme price and volume fluctuations, which affect market prices for securities of companies generally, and very small capitalization companies in particular. The price of its common stock may be higher or lower than the price paid for shares, depending on many factors, some of which are beyond the Company’s control and may not be directly related to its operating performance. These factors include the following:
 
·  
Price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market from time to time;
·  
Significant volatility in the market price and trading volume of securities of business development companies or other financial service companies;
·  
Changes in the regulatory policies or tax guidance with respect to business development companies;
· 
Actual or anticipated changes in the earnings or fluctuations of operating results or changes in the experience of securities analysts.
 
The Company‘s Business Depends on Key Personnel
 
The Company depends on the continued service of its executive officers and other key management personnel. If the Company were to lose any of these officers or other management personnel, such a loss could result in inefficiencies in the Company’s operations and the loss of business opportunities. The Company does not maintain any key man life insurance on any of its officers or employees.
 
The Company’s Business Plan is dependent upon External Financing which may Expose the Company to Risks Associated with Leverage
 
The Company will require a substantial amount of cash to operate and grow. The Company may acquire additional capital from the following sources:

Senior Securities. The Company intends to issue debt securities, other evidences and preferred stock, up to the maximum amount permitted by the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act currently permits the Company, as a business development company, to issue debt securities and preferred stock, to which it refers collectively as senior securities, in amounts such that the asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, is at least 200% after each issuance of senior securities. As a result of issuing senior securities, the Company will be exposed to the risks associated with leverage. Although borrowing money for investments increases the potential for gain, it also increases the risk of a loss. A decrease in the value of investments will have a greater impact on the value of its common stock to the extent that the Company borrowed money to make investments. There is a possibility that the costs of borrowing could exceed the income received on the investments made with such borrowed funds. In addition, the ability to pay dividends or incur additional indebtedness would be restricted if asset coverage is not at least twice the Company’s indebtedness. If the value of the Company’s assets declines, it might be unable to satisfy that test. If this happens, it may be required to liquidate a portion of its loan portfolio and repay a portion of its indebtedness at a time when a sale may be disadvantageous. Furthermore, any amounts that the Company uses to service its indebtedness will not be available for distributions to stockholders.

Common Stock. Because the Company is limited in its ability to issue debt for the reasons given above, the Company is dependent on the issuance of equity as a financing source. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing more common stock or debt securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock, the percentage ownership of its stockholders at the time of the issuance would decrease and they may experience dilution. In addition, any convertible or exchangeable securities issued in the future may have rights, preferences and privileges more favorable than those of the Company’s common stock.

Securitization. In addition to issuing securities to raise capital as described above, the Company anticipates that in the future it will securitize loans to generate cash for funding new investments. An inability to successfully securitize the Company’s loan portfolio could limit its ability to grow the business, fully execute the business strategy and impact its profitability. Moreover, successful securitization of the Company’s loan portfolio might expose it to losses as the loans in which it does not plan to sell interests will be those that are riskier and more apt to generate losses.
 
Shares of Closed-End Investment Companies Frequently Trade at a Discount from Net Asset Value.
 
Shares of closed-end investment companies frequently trade at a discount from net asset value. This characteristic of shares of closed-end investment companies is separate and distinct from the risk that the Company’s net asset value per share will decline.

Changes in the Law or Regulations That Govern the Company Could Have a Material Impact on its Operations
 
The Company is regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, changes in the laws or regulations that govern business development companies may significantly affect its business. Any changes in the law or regulations that govern its business could have a material impact on operations. The Company is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations and is subject to judicial and administrative decisions that affect its operations. If these laws, regulations or decisions change, or if the Company expands its business into jurisdictions that have adopted more stringent requirements than those in which it currently conducts business, the Company may incur significant expenses in order to comply or might restrict operations.
 
Acts of God, Hurricane, Flood, etc. May Affect Operations and Subject the Company To Risk of Damage or Loss.
 
The Company and its portfolio companies could be subject to acts of God, hurricane, fire, flood or other disaster, condition or event that adversely affects the Company or its portfolio companies or their ability to do business and could result in a loss of sales and revenue and impair operating results.

The following information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
 
Forward Looking Statements
 
This Form 10-Q including the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risk and uncertainties.

Undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Annual Report.
 
Overview
 
The Company is a financial service company providing financing and advisory services to small and medium-sized companies throughout the United States. Effective January 5, 2004 the Company shareholders approved the proposal to allow the Company to convert to a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”).

The Company’s investments in portfolio companies typically range from $100,000 to $1,000,000. The Company invests either directly in the equity of a company through equity shares or through a debt instrument. The Company’s debt instruments usually do not have a maturity of more than five years. Interest is either currently paid or deferred.

Investment opportunities are identified for the Company by the management team. Investment proposals may, however, come to the Company from many sources, and may include unsolicited proposals from the public and from referrals from banks, lawyers, accountants and other members of the financial community. The management team brings an extensive network of investment referral relationships.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies. For a summary of all of its significant accounting policies, including the critical accounting policies, see Note A to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8.

The increasing complexity of the business environment and applicable authoritative accounting guidance requires the Company to closely monitor its accounting policies. The Company has identified three critical accounting policies that require significant judgment. The following summary of the Company’s critical accounting policies is intended to enhance your ability to assess its financial condition and results of operation and the potential volatility due to changes in estimates.
 
Valuation of Investments

At September 30, 2005 32.88% of the Company’s total assets represented investments recorded at fair value. Value as defined in Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, is (i) the market price for those securities for which a market quotation is readily available and (ii) for all other securities and assets, fair value is determined in good faith by the board of directors. Since there is typically no readily ascertainable market value for the investments in its portfolio, the Company values substantially all of its investments at fair value as determined in good faith by the board of directors pursuant to a valuation policy and consistent valuation process. Because of the inherent uncertainty in determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily ascertainable market value, the fair value of its investments determined in good faith by the board of directors may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for the investments, and the differences could be material.

Initially, the fair value of each such portfolio investment is based upon original cost. There is no single standard for determining fair value in good faith. As a result, determining fair value requires the judgment be applied to the specific facts and circumstances of each portfolio investment. The Board of Directors considers fair value to be the amount which the Company may reasonably expect to receive for portfolio securities when sold on the valuation date. The Company analyzes and values each individual investment on a quarterly basis, and records unrealized depreciation for an investment that it believes has become impaired, including where collection of a loan or realization of an equity security is doubtful. Conversely, the Company will record unrealized appreciation if it believes that the underlying portfolio company has appreciated in value and, therefore, the Company’s equity security has also appreciated in value. Without a readily ascertainable market value and because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation the fair value of the Company’s investments determined in good faith by the Board of Directors may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for the investments, and the favorable or unfavorable differences could be material.

In the valuation process, the Company uses financial information received monthly, quarterly, and annually from the portfolio companies, which include both audited, and unaudited financial information supplied by portfolio companies management. This information is used to determine financial condition, performance and valuation of the portfolio investments. Valuation should be reduced if a company’s performance and potential have significantly deteriorated. If the factors, which led to the reduction in valuation, are overcome, the valuation may be restated.

Another key factor used in valuation of the equity investments is recent arms-length equity transactions entered into by the investment company that the Company utilizes to form a basis for its underlying value. Many times the terms of these equity transactions may not be identical to those of the Company and the impact on these variations as it relates to market value may be impossible to quantify.

Any changes in estimated fair value are recorded in the statements of operations as “Net increase (decrease) in unrealized (depreciation) appreciation.”
 
Valuation of Equity Securities

With respect to private equity securities, each investment is valued using industry valuation benchmarks and then the value is assigned a discount reflecting the illiquid nature of the investment, as well as the Company’s minority non-control positions. When an external event such as a purchase transaction, public offering, or subsequent equity sale occurs, the pricing indicated by the external event will be used to corroborate the Company’s private equity valuation. Securities that are traded in the over-the-counter market or on a stock exchange will generally be valued at the prevailing bid price on the valuation date. However, restricted and unrestricted publicly traded securities may be valued at discounts from the public market value due to restrictions on sale, the size of its investment or market liquidity concerns.

Valuation of Loans and Debt Securities

As a general rule, the Company does not value its loans or debt securities above cost, but loans and debt securities will be subject to fair value write-down when the asset is considered impaired.

Financial Condition

The Company’s assets increased by $373,998 or 12.42% to $3,384,658 during the three months ending September 30, 2005.

The Company’s financial condition is dependent on the success of its portfolio holdings. It has invested a substantial portion of its assets in small and medium-sized companies. These businesses tend to be thinly capitalized, small companies that may lack experienced management. The following summarizes the Company’s investment portfolio as of September 30, 2005.

During the Company’s fiscal year, the Company valued its equity and investment holdings in accordance with the established valuation policies (see “Valuation of Investments and Equity Holdings”) above.

The cash and cash equivalents approximated 1.16% of net assets as of September 30, 2005.
 
Results of Operations

The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2005 reflect the Company’s results as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The results of operations prior to January 1, 2004 reflect the Company’s results of operations prior to operating as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The principal difference between these two reporting periods relate to accounting for investments. See Note A to the Financial Statements. In addition, certain prior year items have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation as a business development company.

Dividends and Interest

Dividends and interest income on investments for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004 was $23,515 and $13,688 respectively. The increase in interest and dividends was primarily due to the sources of income shifting from a transactional base business to the Company receiving interest income from its portfolio companies.

Management Fees

Management fees for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004 were $30,000 and $45,000 respectively. The management fees decreased mainly due to the sale of the Company’s portfolio investments in the last two quarters.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004 was $256,245 and $343,641. A significant component of total operating expenses was general and administrative expenses of $206,884 and $242,828 for the three months ending September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is attributable to the Company’s efficient use of its personnel and operating supplies. A second component of total operating expenses was professional fees of $48,746 for the three months ending September 30, 2005 and $100,171 for the three months ending September 30, 2004. The decrease in professional fees is primarily due to the Company using employees rather than outside consultants to complete due diligence on potential portfolio companies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2005 and June 30, 2005, the Company had $33,397 and $31,034 respectively in cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s objective is to have sufficient cash on hand to cover current funding requirements and operations.

The Company expects its cash on hand and cash generated from operations to be adequate to meet its cash needs at its current level of operations, including the next twelve months. The Company generally funds new investments using cash on hand and equity financing and outside investments.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company’s investment activities contain elements of risk. The portion of the Company’s investment portfolio consisting of equity or equity-linked debt securities in private companies is subject to valuation risk. Because there is typically no public market for the equity and equity-linked debt securities in which it invests, the valuation of the equity interest in the portfolio is stated at “fair value” and determined in good faith by the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis in accordance with the Company’s investment valuation policy.

In the absence of a readily ascertainable market value, the estimated value of the Company’s portfolio may differ significantly from the value that would be placed on the portfolio if a ready market for the investments existed. Any changes in valuation are recorded in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations as “Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment”.

At times a portion of the Company’s portfolio may include marketable securities traded in the over-the-counter market. In addition, there may be a portion of the Company’s portfolio for which no regular trading market exists. In order to realize the full value of a security, the market must trade in an orderly fashion or a willing purchaser must be available when a sale is to be made. Should an economic or other event occur that would not allow the markets to trade in an orderly fashion the Company may not be able to realize the fair value of its marketable investments or other investments in a timely manner.

As of September 30, 2005, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet investments or hedging investments.

Impact of Inflation

The Company does not believe that its business is materially affected by inflation, other than the impact inflation may have on the securities markets, the valuations of business enterprises and the relationship of such valuation to underlying earnings all of which will influence the value of the Company’s investments.

Item 4. Control & Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Control and Procedures

Management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on such evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of such date, the disclosure controls and procedures were designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by management in reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported with the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and forms were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no significant changes in internal control or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to our evaluation, including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
