Notes To Condensed Financial Statements
For The Three- and Nine-Month Periods Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006
 
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
 
Pursuant to a recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors and approval by its shareholders on January 13, 2004, the Company sold to NC Acquisition Corporation (the "Purchaser") on March 31, 2004 all of its tangible and intangible assets, including its real estate, accounts, equipment, intellectual property, inventory, subsidiaries, goodwill, and other intangibles, except for $30,000 in cash (the "Net Asset Sale"). The Purchaser also assumed all of the Company’s liabilities pursuant to the Net Asset Sale. Following the Net Asset Sale, the Company’s only remaining assets were $30,000 in cash and it had no liabilities. It also retained no subsidiaries. On April 1, 2004 the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name from Nematron Corporation to Sandston Corporation (the “Company”) and to implement a shareholder approved one-for-five reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, whereby every five issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock became one share. On April 1, 2004 the Company also sold a total of 5,248,257 post-split shares to Dorman Industries, LLC (“Dorman Industries”) for $50,000. Dorman Industries is a Michigan limited liability company wholly owned by Mr. Daniel J. Dorman, the Company’s Chairman of the Board, President and Principal Financial Officer. Pursuant to its purchase of these shares, Dorman Industries became the owner of 62.5% of the then outstanding common stock of the Company and currently is the beneficial owner of 48.6% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.
 
Effective April 1, 2004, the Company became a "public shell" corporation.
 
The Company intends to build long-term shareholder value by acquiring and/or investing in and operating strategically positioned companies. The Company expects to target companies in multiple industry groups. The Company has yet to acquire, or enter into an agreement to acquire, any company or entity.
 
In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements for the interim periods have been included. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s latest annual report on Form 10-KSB.
 
The results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Additionally, since the Net Asset Sale, which was effective April 1, 2004, the Company has had no revenue generating activities.
 
Liquidity and Management Plans
 
The Company became a "public shell" corporation on April 1, 2004 following the Net Asset Sale and since that date its operational activities have been limited to considering sundry and various acquisition opportunities, and its financial activities have been limited to administrative activities and incurring expenditures for accounting, legal, filing, printing, office and auditing services. These expenditures have been paid with the $30,000 cash retained from the businesses that were sold, from $50,000 of proceeds from the sale of common stock on April 1, 2004 to Dorman Industries, and from $120,000 of proceeds from the sale, through a private placement, of unregistered common stock in December 2006 to certain accredited investors.

Note 2 - Earnings Per Share
 
The weighted average shares outstanding used in computing basic loss per share for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 have been adjusted to give effect to the one-for-five reverse stock split discussed in Note 1. Pursuant to the terms of the agreements underlying the Net Asset Sale, all outstanding dilutive securities, including stock options, warrants and conversion rights under all employee and director option plans and various warrant and note agreements, were cancelled effective March 31, 2004 and are no longer outstanding.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
 
Readers should refer to a description of the Net Asset Sale described in Note 1 to the condensed financial statements included in this Form 10-QSB. As described therein, the net assets and industrial controls businesses of the Company were sold effective as of the close of business on March 31, 2004. Since April 1, 2004, the Company has not engaged in any revenue generating activities, although it has considered various investment opportunities and it has incurred administrative expenses related to legal, accounting and administrative activities. The Company has had no employees since that date. The administrative activities of the Company are performed by the Chairman, who also serves as the CEO, President and Principal Financial Officer.
 
Three Month Periods Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006
 
Direct administrative expenses of the Company totaled $4,313 and $3,677 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase of $636, or 17.3%, is due to additional administrative services required in the current period compared to the year earlier period. These services related to the costs for administrative services for the Company’s annual meeting held in 2007; there was no annual meeting in the year earlier period.
 
Nine Month Periods Ended September 30, 2007 and 2006
 
Direct administrative expenses of the Company totaled $25,380 and $17,942 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase of $7,438, or 41.5%, is due to additional administrative services required in the current period compared to the year earlier period. These services related to the costs for administrative services for the Company’s annual meeting held in 2007; there was no annual meeting in the year earlier period.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Primary sources of liquidity for the Company following the March 31, 2004 Net Asset Sale have been cash balances that have been used to pay administrative expenses. Operating expenses of the Company have been funded with $30,000 of available cash retained from the Net Asset Sale, from $50,000 of cash generated by the sale of additional shares of common stock to Dorman Industries on April 1, 2004, and from $120,000 of cash generated by the private placement of 2.4 million shares of unregistered Common Stock in December 2006. As reflected in the accompanying balance sheet at September 30, 2007, cash totals $73,867. Based on such balance and management’s forecast of activity levels during the foreseeable future, management believes that the present cash balance will be sufficient to pay its current liabilities and its administrative expenses as such expenses become due. The Company has not identified as yet potential acquisition candidates, the acquisition of which would mean that the Company would cease being a “public shell” and begin operating activities.
 
While it is the Company's objective to ultimately be able to use the securities of the Company as a currency in the acquisition of portfolio businesses, the initial acquisitions of portfolio businesses may require the Company to be infused with additional capital thereby diluting the Company's shareholders, including Dorman Industries to the extent that it does not participate in the capital infusion.
 
Uncertainties Relating to Forward Looking Statements
 
"Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operation" and other parts of this Form 10-QSB contain certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended. While management of the Company believes any forward-looking statements it has made are reasonable, actual results could differ materially since the statements are based on current management expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to the following:
 
 
Page 7

 
 
 
·
Uncertainties discussed elsewhere in “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations”;
 
 
·
The potential inability of the Company to locate potential businesses and to negotiate the closing of identified businesses so as they become businesses of the Company;
 
 
·
Unforeseen increases in operating expenses;
 
 
·
The inability to attract or retain management, sales and/or engineering talent for any acquired business;
 
 
·
The inability to continue financing the administrative expenses of the Company out of available funds and the inability to raise additional funds to cover any shortfall.
