Sandston
Corporation
Notes
To Condensed Financial Statements
For
The Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 2008 and 2007
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 Accounting
Officer. Pursuant to its purchase of these shares, Dorman Industries became
the
owner of 62.50% 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 infor-mation 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 the operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2008
and
2007 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 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 month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 have been adjusted to
give
effect to the five-for-one reverse stock split discussed in Note 1. The Company
has no dilutive securities.
Item
2.
Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
Three
Month Periods Ended March 31, 2008 and 2007
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. Direct administrative expenses
of the Company totaled $10,588 and $13,159 for the three-month periods ended
March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease of $2,571, or 19.5%, is
due
primarily to less costly administrative services required in the current period
compared to 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 and from $50,000 of cash generated by
the
sale of additional shares of common stock to Dorman Industries on April 1,
2004.
In December 2006, the Company sold through a private placement of unregistered
securities 2.4 million shares of Common Stock for a total of $120,000. As
reflected in the accompanying balance sheet at March 31, 2008, cash totals
$64,892. 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:
·
|
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.
