(formerly Flickering Star Financial, Inc., sometimes referred to as the "Company") was incorporated on April 19, 2006 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company's business strategy is to be a reporting registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "1934 Act") and to be available as a shell entity to facilitate interim disclosures of the financing of private or small public companies and to be a party to a business combination. Because of the diverse structures used for the transactions which are negotiated for business combinations, coupled with financing of the resulting entity, the role of the Company will be unknown until a business combination is located. We believe that these transactions usually involves a privately negotiated sale of an issuer's equity security or equity-linked securities to an investor, wherein the sale is conditioned upon a subsequent resale registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The privately negotiated sale involving private companies usually require no disclosures because they are governed by the guidelines and safe harbor provisions under Section 4(2) or Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. During the financing process, we further believe that certain of the participants in certain transactions desire the ability to disclose the terms and conditions of the business combination and as an additional participant in the transaction, we can facilitate such a disclosure. This disclosure is part of our obligation as a reporting registrant under the 1934 Act. These disclosures will commence upon the negotiation of the business combination through the closing as compared to having no disclosures until the resale registration statement is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These disclosures may facilitate a participant in securing a listing on an overseas stock exchange. We believe that the participants who desire the disclosure, in addition to the private company or small public company, can be divided into the so-called fundamental investors (private equity/venture capital funds, mutual funds and accredited investors) or the so-called technical investors (hedge funds, arbitrage funds, institutional funds and accredited investors). Shell. As of the date hereof, we can be defined as a "shell" company, an entity which is generally described as having no or nominal operations and with no or nominal assets or assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents. As a shell company, our sole purpose at this time is to locate and consummate a merger or acquisition with a private entity. Blind Pool. Also, as of the date hereof, based upon our proposed future business activities, we may also be deemed a "blank check" company. The Securities and Exchange Commission definition of such a company is a development stage company that has no specific business plan or purpose, or has indicated that its business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company or companies, or other entity or person and is issuing "penny stock." 4 A "penny stock" security is any equity security other than a security (i) that is a reported security (ii) that is issued by an investment company (iii) that is a put or call issued by the Option Clearing Corporation (iv) that has a price of $5.00 or more (except for purposes of Rule 419 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) (v) that is registered on a national securities exchange (vi) that is authorized for quotation on the Nasdaq Stock Market, unless other provisions of the defining rule are not satisfied, or (vii) that is issued by an issuer with (a) net tangible assets in excess of $2,000,000, if in continuous operation for more than three years or $5,000,000 if in operation for less than three years or (b) average revenue of at least $6,000,000 for the last three years. We became a reporting company on a voluntary basis because the primary attraction of the Company as a merger partner or acquisition vehicle will be its status as a reporting company. In addition, we became a reporting company to enhance investor protection and to provide information if a trading market commences. Only those companies that report their current financial information to the Securities and Exchange Commission, banking, or insurance regulators are permitted to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board System. ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS. Our business is subject to numerous risk factors, including the following: 1. We have had no operating history nor any revenues or earnings from operations and we are insolvent. We have no assets or financial resources. We will, in all likelihood, sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues, at least until the consummation of a business combination. This may result in us incurring a net operating loss that will increase continuously until we can consummate a business combination with a profitable business opportunity. There is no assurance that we can identify such a business opportunity and consummate such a business combination. Our auditor's going concern opinion and the notation in the financial statements indicate that we do not have significant cash or other material assets and that we are relying on advances from stockholders, officers and directors to meet our limited operating expenses. We are insolvent in that we are unable to pay our debts in the ordinary course of business as they become due. 2. Our proposed plan of operation is speculative. The success of our proposed plan of operation will depend to a great extent on the operations, financial condition and management of the identified business opportunity or the participants in the business opportunity. In the event we complete a business combination, of which there can be no assurance, the success of our operations may be dependent upon management of the successor firm or venture partner firm and numerous other factors beyond our control. 3. We face intense competition for business opportunities and combinations. We are and will continue to be an insignificant participant in the business of seeking mergers with, joint ventures with and acquisitions of small private and public entities. A large number of established and well-financed entities, including venture capital and hedge fund firms, are active in mergers and acquisitions of companies that may be our desirable target candidates. Nearly all such entities have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than we have and, consequently, we will be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully completing a business combination. 5 4. We have no agreements for a business combination or other transaction and have established no standards for a business combination. We have no arrangement, agreement or understanding with respect to engaging in a merger with, joint venture with or acquisition of, a private or public entity. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in identifying and evaluating suitable business opportunities or in concluding a business combination. Management has not identified any particular industry or specific business within an industry for our evaluation. There is no assurance that we will be able to negotiate a business combination on terms favorable to us. We have not established a specific length of operating history or a specified level of earnings, assets, net worth or other criteria which we will require a target business opportunity to have achieved, and without which we would not consider a business combination in any form with such business opportunity. Accordingly, we may enter into a business combination with a business opportunity having no significant operating history, losses, limited or no potential for earnings, limited assets, negative net worth or other negative characteristics. 5. The reporting requirements under federal securities law may delay or prevent us from making certain acquisitions. Sections 13 and 15(d) of the 1934 Act, require companies subject thereto to provide certain information about significant acquisitions, including certified financial statements for the company acquired, covering one, two, or three years, depending on the relative size of the acquisition. The time and additional costs that may be incurred by some target entities to prepare such statements may significantly delay or essentially preclude consummation of an otherwise desirable acquisition by the Company. Acquisition prospects that do not have or are unable to obtain the required audited statements may not be appropriate for acquisition so long as the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act are applicable. In addition to the audited financial statements, (i) for the resale registration statement or (ii) in the filing of the Form 8-K that we file to report an event that causes us to cease being a shell company, we will be required to include that information that is normally reported by a company in a Form 10 or Form 10-SB. The time and additional costs that may be incurred by some target entities to prepare and disclose such information may significantly delay or essentially preclude consummation of an otherwise desirable acquisition by the Company. 6. The Investment Company Act of 1940 creates a situation wherein we would be required to register and could be required to incur substantial additional costs and expenses. Although we will be subject to regulation under the 1934 Act, management believes the Company will not be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, insofar as we will not be engaged in the business of investing or trading in securities. In the event we engage in business combination that results in us holding passive investment interests in a number of entities, we could be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In such event, we would be required to register as an investment company and could be expected to incur significant registration and compliance costs. We have obtained no formal determination from the Securities and Exchange Commission as to the status of our Company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and, consequently, any violation of such Act would subject us to material adverse consequences. 7. At the time we do any business combination, a shareholder will most likely hold a substantially lesser percentage ownership in the Company. Our current primary plan of operation is based upon us being a participant in a business combination with a private or small public company, with other participants joining as investors. There is contemplated that there will be an issuance of our previously authorized and unissued Common Stock would result in reduction in percentage of shares owned by our present shareholder. Further, our present shareholder may sell or transfer some or all of his stock to the other participants in the business combination. 6 8. As a shell company, we face substantial additional adverse business and legal consequences. We may enter into a business combination with an entity that desires to establish a public trading market for its shares. A business opportunity may initially attempt to avoid or delay what it deems to be adverse consequences of undertaking its own public offering by seeking a business combination with us. Such consequences may include, but are not limited to, time delays of the registration process, significant expenses to be incurred in such an offering, loss of voting control to public shareholders and the inability or unwillingness to comply with various federal and state laws enacted for the protection of investors. On June 29, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted final rules amending the Form S-8 and the Form 8-K for shell companies like us. The amendments expand the definition of a shell company to be broader than a company with no or nominal operations/assets or assets consisting of cash and cash equivalents, the amendments prohibit the use of a From S-8 (a form used by a corporation to register securities issued to an employee, director, officer, consultant or advisor), under certain circumstances, and revise the Form 8-K to require a shell company to include current Form 10 or Form 10-SB information, including audited financial statements, in the filing on Form 8-K that the shell company files to report the acquisition of the business opportunity. This initial filing is within four days of the acquisition. The Form 8-K filing may be reviewed by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the prospects of certain disclosures or review or the lack of the ability to issue securities using a Form S-8 may delay the consummation of a business combination because of the target entities inability to comply with various federal and state laws enacted for the protection of investors or the unwillingness to assume the significant costs of compliance. 9. The requirement of audited financial statements may disqualify business opportunities. Our management believes that any potential business opportunity must provide audited financial statements for review, for the protection of all parties to the business combination. One or more attractive business opportunities may choose to forego the possibility of a business combination with us, rather than incur the expenses associated with preparing audited financial statements prior to the date needed for the resale registration statement. 10. Our shareholders may face significant restrictions on the resale of our Common Stock due to state "blue sky" laws or if we are determined to be a "blank check" company and we have not filed a resale registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Until we have filed a resale registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, there are state regulations that may adversely affect the transferability of our Common Stock. We have not registered our Common Stock for resale under the securities or "blue sky" laws of any state. We may seek qualification or advise our shareholders of the availability of an exemption. We are under no obligation to register or qualify our Common Stock in any state or to advise the shareholders of any exemptions. Current shareholders and participants in the business combination should be aware that there might be significant state restrictions upon the ability of any investor to purchase the Common Stock, unless registered under federal law or qualified under state laws. Blue sky laws, regulations, orders, or interpretations place limitations on offerings or sales of securities by "blank check" companies or in "blind-pool" offerings, or if such securities represent "cheap stock" previously issued to promoters or others. Our initial shareholder, because he originally paid $.1.00 for each share, may be deemed to hold "cheap stock." These limitations typically provide, in the form of one or more of the following limitations, that such securities are: 7 (a) Not eligible for sale under exemption provisions permitting sales without registration to accredited investors or qualified purchasers; (b) Not eligible for the transaction exemption from registration for non-issuer transactions by a registered broker-dealer; (c) Not eligible for registration under the simplified small corporate offering registration (SCOR) form available in many states; (d) Not eligible for the "solicitations of interest" exception to securities registration requirements available in many states; (e) Not permitted to be registered or exempted from registration, and thus not permitted to be sold in the state under any circumstances. Virtually all 50 states have adopted one or more of these limitations, or other limitations or restrictions affecting the sale or resale of stock of blank check companies or securities sold in "blind pool" offerings or "cheap stock" issued to promoters or others. Specific limitations on such offerings have been adopted in: Alaska Nevada Tennessee Arkansas New Mexico Texas California Ohio Utah Delaware Oklahoma Vermont Florida Oregon Washington Georgia Pennsylvania Idaho Rhode Island Indiana South Carolina Nebraska South Dakota Any secondary trading market which may develop, may only be conducted in those jurisdictions where an applicable exemption is available or where the shares have been registered. We do not have any legal opinions as it relates to whether we are a shell company or blind pool company or blank-check company. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a rule (Rule 419) which defines a blank-check company as (i) a development stage company, that is (ii) offering penny stock, as defined by Rule 3a51-1, and (iii) that has no specific business plan or purpose or has indicated that its business plan is engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company or companies. Certain jurisdictions may have definitions that are more restrictive than Rule 419. We have been informed that the Securities and Exchange Commission has cautioned that "it will scrutinize registered offerings for attempts to create the appearance that the registrant... has a specific business plan, in an effort to avoid the applicable of Rule 419." Provisions of Rule 419 apply to every registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to an offering by a blank-check company. We have never filed a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Until we have filed a resale registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and if we are determined to be a so-called "blank check" company, our shareholder will be required to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, prior to the resale of the Common Stock, unless there exists a transactional or security exemption for such sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Our current shareholder and participants in any proposed business combination who desire to purchase the Common Stock should be aware that the we are under no obligation to register the shares on behalf of our shareholders under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 8 The Company's director and sole has expressed his intention not to engage in any transactions with respect to the Company's Common Stock except in connection with or part of or following a business combination resulting in us no longer being defined as a blank check issuer. This may occur prior to the filing of the resale registration statement under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1933, as amended. 11. Our Common Stock may be subject to significant restriction on resale due to federal penny stock restrictions. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker or dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange system). The penny stock rules require a broker or dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker or dealer also must provide the customer with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker or dealer, and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The penny stock rules also require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from such rules, the broker or dealer must make a special written determination that a penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in any secondary market for our stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules, and accordingly, any shareholder of our Common Stock may find it difficult to sell his securities, if at all. ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS. We have no unresolved comments from the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES. We have no properties and at this time we have no agreements to acquire any properties. We presently occupy office space at 1880 Century Park East, Suite 315, Los Angeles, CA 90067. This space is provided to the Company by Ronald J. Stauber, our attorney, on a rent free basis, and it is anticipated that this arrangement will remain until such time as the Company successfully consummates a merger or acquisition. Management believes that this arrangement will meet the Company's needs for the foreseeable future. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. There is no litigation pending or threatened by or against the Company. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS. There have been no matters submitted to the Company's security holders. 9 PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES. Market Price. There is no trading market for our Common Stock at present and there has been no trading market to date. Until we have filed a resale registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended there is no assurance that a trading market will ever develop or, if such a market does develop, that it will continue. After we have filed a resale registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if required, we intend to request a broker-dealer to make application to the NASD Regulation, Inc. to have the Company's securities traded on the OTC Bulletin Board System or published, in print and electronic media, or either, in the Pink Sheets, LLC "Pink Sheets." The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 15g-9, which established the definition of a "penny stock," for purposes relevant to the Company, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require: (i) that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and (ii) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must (i) obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person; and (ii) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, (i) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and (ii) that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stock in both public offering and in secondary trading, and about commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. For the initial listing in the NASDAQ SmallCap market, a company must have net tangible assets of $4 million or market capitalization of $50 million or a net income (in the latest fiscal year or two of the last fiscal years) of $750,000, a public float of 1,000,000 shares with a market value of $5 million. The minimum bid price must be $4.00 and there must be 3 market makers. In addition, there must be 300 shareholders holding 100 shares or more, and the company must have an operating history of at least one year or a market capitalization of $50 million. For continued listing in the NASDAQ SmallCap market, a company must have net tangible assets of $2 million or market capitalization of $35 million or a net income (in the latest fiscal year or two of the last fiscal years) of $500,000, a public float of 500,000 shares with a market value of $1 million. The minimum bid price must be $1.00 and there must be 2 market makers. In addition, there must be 300 shareholders holding 100 shares or more. We intend to strongly consider undertaking a transaction with any merger or acquisition candidate that will allow the Company's securities to be traded without the aforesaid limitations. However, there can be no assurances that, upon a successful merger or acquisition, the Company will qualify its securities for listing on NASDAQ or some other national exchange, or be able to maintain the maintenance criteria necessary to insure continued listing. The failure of the Company to qualify its securities or to meet the relevant 10 maintenance criteria after such qualification in the future may result in the discontinuance of the inclusion of the Company's securities on a national exchange. In such events, trading, if any, in the Company's securities may then continue in the non-NASDAQ over-the-counter market. As a result, a shareholder may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of, the Company's securities. Holders. There is one (1) holder of the Company's Common Stock. On April 30, 2006, we issued 5,000,000 of our Common Shares (giving effect to a 1000 for 1 split-dividend) for cash at $.001 per share. All of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock were issued in accordance with the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Dividends. The Company has not paid any cash dividends to date, and has no plans to do so in the immediate future. ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA. Not applicable to smaller reporting companies. ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION. General Plan. The Company's business strategy is to be a reporting registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the 1934 Act and to be available as a shell to facilitate the financing of private or small public companies. Because of the diverse structures used for the transactions which are negotiated for business combinations, coupled with financing of the resulting entity, the role of the Company will be unknown until a business combination is located. We believe that these transactions usually involves a privately negotiated sale of an issuer's equity security or equity-linked securities to an investor, wherein the sale is conditioned upon a subsequent resale registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The privately negotiated sale involving private companies usually require no disclosures because they are governed by the guidelines and safe harbor provisions under Section 4(2) or Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We further believe that certain of the participants in certain transactions desire the ability to disclose the financing terms and conditions of the business combination and as the additional participant in the transaction, we can facilitate such a disclosure. This disclosure is part of our obligation as a reporting registrant under the 1934 Act. These disclosures will commence upon the negotiation of the business combination through the closing as compared to having no disclosures until the resale registration statement if filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We further believe that the participants who desire the disclosure can be divided into the fundamental investors (private equity/venture capital funds, mutual funds and accredited investors) or technical investors (hedge funds, arbitrage funds, institutional funds and accredited investors). We will not restrict our search to any specific business, industry, or geographical location and we may participate in a business venture of virtually any kind or nature. We may seek a business opportunity with investors or with entities which have recently commenced operations, or which wish to utilize the public marketplace in order to raise additional capital in order to expand into new products or markets, to develop a new product or service, or for other corporate purposes. 11 We anticipate that the selection of a business opportunity in which to participate will be complex and extremely risky. Due to general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some industries and shortages of available capital, we believe that there are numerous firms seeking the benefits of an issuer who has complied with the 1934 Act. Such benefits may include immediate disclosure of relevant factors involving the business combination, facilitating or improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be sought, providing liquidity for incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, and providing liquidity (subject to restrictions of applicable statutes) for all shareholders. It is anticipated that we will incur nominal expenses in the implementation of our business plan described herein. The participate in the proposed business combination will be required to provide financing. Because we have no capital with which to pay other minimal anticipated expenses, present management of the Company will pay these charges with his personal funds, as interest free loans to the Company or as capital contributions. However, if loans, the only opportunity which management has to have these loans repaid will be from a prospective business combination. Acquisition of Opportunities. In implementing a structure for a particular business acquisition, we may become a party to a merger, consolidation, reorganization, or joint venturer, with another corporation or entity. We may also acquire stock or assets of an existing business. On the consummation of a transaction, it is probable that the present management and sole shareholder of the Company will no longer be in control of the Company. In addition, our director may, as part of the terms of the acquisition transaction, resign and be replaced by new directors without a vote of shareholders and may sell his stock in the Company to the participates, or either. While the actual terms of a transaction to which the Company may be a party cannot be predicted, it may be expected that the parties to the business transaction will find it desirable to avoid the creation of a taxable event and thereby structure the acquisition in a so-called "tax-free" reorganization under Sections 368(a)(1) or 351 of the Internal Revenue Code. Because of the diverse structures used for the transactions which are negotiated for business combinations, coupled with financing of the resulting entity, the role of the Company will be unknown until a business combination is located. We believe that these transactions usually involves a privately negotiated sale of an issuer's equity security or equity-linked securities to an investor, wherein the sale is conditioned upon a subsequent resale registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We will participate in a business opportunity only after the negotiation and execution of appropriate written agreements. These will be disclosed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although the terms of such agreements cannot be predicted, generally such agreements will require some specific representations and warranties by all of the parties thereto, will specify certain events of default, will detail the terms of closing and the conditions which must be satisfied by each of the parties prior to and after such closing, will outline the manner of bearing costs, including costs associated with the Company's attorneys and accountants, will set forth remedies on default and will include miscellaneous other terms. We have no present intent to acquire or merge with any entity which cannot provide independent audited financial statements at the time of closing of the proposed transaction and supply other information that is normally disclosed in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We are subject to all of the reporting requirements included in the 1934 Act. These rules are intended to protect investors by deterring fraud and abuse in the securities markets through the use of shell companies. Included in these requirements is the affirmative duty of the Company to file independent audited financial statements as part of its Form 8-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission upon consummation of a merger or acquisition, as well as the Company's audited financial statements included in its annual report on Form 10-K. In addition, in the filing of the Form 8-K that we file to report an event that causes us to cease being a shell company, we are required to include that information that is normally reported by a company in its original Form 10. This information will usually be available prior to the filing of a resale registration statement under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1933, as amended. 12 Accounting for a Business Combination. In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards "SFAS" No. 141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 requires business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and broadens the criteria for recording intangible assets separate from goodwill. Recorded goodwill and intangibles will be evaluated against these new criteria and may result in certain intangibles being subsumed into goodwill, or alternatively, amounts initially recorded as goodwill may be separately identified an recognized apart from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 requires the use of a non-amortization approach to account for purchased goodwill and certain intangibles. Under a non-amortization approach, goodwill and certain intangibles is more than its fair value. Goodwill is the excess of the acquisition costs of the acquired entity over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. The Company is required to test goodwill and intangible assets that are determined to have an indefinite life for impairments at least annually. The provisions of SFAS No. 142 require the completion of an annual impairment test with any impairment recognized in current earnings. The provisions of SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142 may be applicable to any business combination that we may enter into in the future. We have also been informed that most business combinations will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition with us being the surviving registrant. As a result of any business combination, if the acquired entity's shareholders will exercise control over us, the transaction will be deemed to be a capital transaction where we are treated as a non-business entity. Therefore, the accounting for the business combination is identical to that resulting from a reverse merger, except no goodwill or other intangible assets will be recorded. For accounting purposes, the acquired entity will be treated as the accounting acquirer and, accordingly, will be presented as the continuing entity. Competition. We will remain an insignificant participant among the firms that engage in the acquisition of business opportunities. There are many established venture capital and financial concerns which have significantly greater financial and personnel resources and technical expertise than the Company. In view of our combined extremely limited financial resources and limited management availability, we will continue to be at a significant competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors. Investment Company Act of 1940. Although we will be subject to regulation under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the 1934 Act, our management believes that we will not be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940 insofar as the Company will not be engaged in the business of investing or trading in securities. In the event we engage in business combinations that result in the Company holding passive investment interests in a number of entities, we could be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In such event, we would be required to register as an investment company and could be expected to incur significant registration and compliance costs. We have obtained no formal determination from the Securities and Exchange Commission as to the status of the Company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and, consequently, any violation of such Act would subject the Company to material adverse consequences. Employees. We have no full time or part-time employees. Lawrence M. Simons, Sr., M.D. anticipates devoting not more than a few hours a week of time to our activities. Dr. Simons has agreed to allocate a portion of said time to the activities of the Company, without compensation. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE) CONTENTS ________________________________________________________________________________ FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 1 Balance Sheets 2 Statements of Operations 3 Statements of Stockholders' Deficit 4 Statements of Cash Flows 5 Notes to Financial Statements 6-12 ________________________________________________________________________________ 15 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors Star Financial Direct Placement, Inc. Las Vegas, Nevada We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Star Financial Direct Placement, Inc. (A Development Stage Enterprise) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the related statements of operations, stockholder's deficit, and cash flows for the periods then ended and the period April 19, 2006 (inception) through December 31, 2007. 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 audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Star Financial Direct Placement, Inc. (A Development Stage Enterprise) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the results of its operations and cash flows for periods then ended and the period April 19, 2006 (inception) through December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has limited operations and has no established source of revenue. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Kyle L. Tingle, CPA, LLC March 25, 2008 Las Vegas, Nevada 16

20 STAR FINANCIAL DIRECT PLACEMENT, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NATURE OF BUSINESS: Star Financial Direct Placement, Inc. ("Company") was organized April 19, 2006 as Flickering Star Financial, Inc. under the laws of the State of Delaware. On September 13, 2006, the Delaware Secretary of State certified the amended Articles of Incorporation changing the name to Star Financial Direct Placement, Inc. The Company currently has no operations and, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 7, "ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING BY DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISES," is considered a Development Stage Enterprise. A SUMMARY OF THE COMPANY'S SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES IS AS FOLLOWS: ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. CASH For the Statements of Cash Flows, all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. INCOME TAXES Income taxes are provided for using the liability method of accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 109 "ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES," and clarified by FIN 48, "ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES--AN INTERPRETATION OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 109." A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. SHARE BASED EXPENSES In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 123R "SHARE BASED PAYMENT." This statement is a revision to SFAS 123 and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES," and amends FASB Statement No. 95, "STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS." This statement requires a public entity to expense the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments. This statement also provides guidance on valuing and expensing these awards, as well as disclosure requirements of these equity arrangements. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R upon creation of the company and expenses share based costs in the period incurred. 21 STAR FINANCIAL DIRECT PLACEMENT, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) GOING CONCERN The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern. This contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Currently, the Company does not have cash, nor material assets, nor does it have operations or a source of revenue sufficient to cover its operation costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company will be dependent upon the raising of additional capital through placement of our common stock in order to implement its business plan, or merge with an operating company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in either situation in order to continue as a going concern. The officers and directors have committed to advancing certain operating costs of the Company. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 addresses the requests from investors for expanded disclosure about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, and does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and will be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. We do not expect that the adoption of SFAS 157 will have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans" ("SFAS No. 158"). SFAS No. 158 requires companies to recognize in their statement of financial position an asset for a plan's overfunded status or a liability for a plan's underfunded status and to measure a plan's assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the company's fiscal year. Additionally, SFAS No. 158 requires companies to recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in the year that the changes occur and those changes will be reported in comprehensive income. The provision of SFAS No. 158 that will require us to recognize the funded status of our postretirement plans, and the disclosure requirements, will be effective for us as of December 31, 2006. We do not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 158 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" (hereinafter "SFAS No. 159"). This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board's long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 22 STAR FINANCIAL DIRECT PLACEMENT, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 15, 2007, although earlier adoption is permitted. Management has not determined the effect that adopting this statement would have on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R), "Business Combinations-- a replacement of FASB Statement No. 141." This Statement replaces SFAS 141, "Business Combinations," and requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, including those arising from contractual contingencies, any contingent consideration, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the statement. SFAS 141(R) also requires the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages (sometimes referred to as a step acquisition) to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values (or other amounts determined in accordance with SFAS 141(R)). In addition, SFAS 141(R)'s requirement to measure the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at fair value will result in recognizing the goodwill attributable to the noncontrolling interest in addition to that attributable to the acquirer. SFAS 141(R) amends SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," to require the acquirer to recognize changes in the amount of its deferred tax benefits that are recognizable because of a business combination either in income from continuing operations in the period of the combination or directly in contributed capital, depending on the circumstances. It also amends SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," to, among other things, provide guidance on the impairment testing of acquired research and development intangible assets and assets that the acquirer intends not to use. SFAS 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We are currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of SFAS 141(R) could have on our financial statements. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements." SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements," to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It also clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 also changes the way the consolidated income statement is presented by requiring consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated and requires expanded disclosures in the consolidated financial statements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent owners and the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal periods, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We are currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of SFAS 141(R) could have on our financial statements. 23 STAR FINANCIAL DIRECT PLACEMENT, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 2. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY COMMON STOCK The authorized common stock of the Company consists of 100,000,000 shares with par value of $0.001 and 4,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001. On April 30, 2006 the Company authorized and issued 5,000 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock in consideration of $5,000 in cash. On December 31, 2006, the Company's shareholders approved a forward split of its common stock at one thousand shares for one share of the existing shares. The number of common stock shares outstanding increased from 5,000 to 5,000,000. Prior period information has been restated to reflect the stock split. The Company has no issued or outstanding preferred stock. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "EARNINGS PER SHARE." The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period is used to compute basic loss per share. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted averaged number of shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding. Dilutive potential common shares are additional common shares assumed to be exercised. Basic net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding of 5,000,000 during 2007, and since inception. As of December 31, 2007 and since inception, the Company had no dilutive potential common shares. NOTE 3. INCOME TAXES We did not provide any current or deferred U.S. federal income tax provision or benefit for any of the periods presented because we have experienced operating losses since inception. Per Statement of Accounting Standard No. 109 - Accounting for Income Tax and FASB Interpretation No. 48 - Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No.109, when it is more likely than not that a tax asset cannot be realized through future income the Company must allow for this future tax benefit. We provided a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset, consisting of net operating loss carryforwards, because management has determined that it is more likely than not that we will not earn income sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets during the carryforward period. All tax returns have been filed. There are no open tax years. 24 STAR FINANCIAL DIRECT PLACEMENT, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The components of the Company's deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 are as follows: 2007 2006 _________ ________ Net operating loss carryforward $ 11,127 $ 9,906 Valuation allowance (11,127) (9,906) _________ ________ Net deferred tax asset $ 0 $ 0 ========= ======== A reconciliation of income taxes computed at the statutory rate to the income tax amount recorded is as follows: Since 2007 2006 Inception _________ ________ _________ Tax at statutory rate (34%) $ 1,221 $ 9,906 $ 11,127 Increase in valuation allowance (1,221) (9,906) (11,127) _________ ________ _________ Net deferred tax asset $ 0 $ 0 $ 0 ========= ======== ========= The net federal operating loss carry forward will expire between 2026 and 2027. This carry forward may be limited upon the consummation of a business combination under IRC Section 381. NOTE 4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company neither owns nor leases any real or personal property. An officer or resident agent of the corporation provides office services without charge. Such costs are immaterial to the financial statements and accordingly, have not been reflected therein. The officers and directors for the Company are involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities. If a specific business opportunity becomes available, such persons may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and their other business interest. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts. As of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the company owed officers $6,304 and $1,166 respectively. NOTE 5. WARRANTS AND OPTIONS There are no warrants or options outstanding to acquire any additional shares of common stock of the Company. 25 ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE. None ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the 1934 Act or the 1934 Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in 1934 Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in INTERNAL CONTROL - INTEGRATED FRAMEWORK issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in INTERNAL CONTROL -- INTEGRATED FRAMEWORK, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2007. Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Star Financial Direct Placement, Inc. We have audited Star Financial Direct Placement, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Las Palmas Mobile Estates's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the 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 effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over 26 financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In our opinion, Star Financial Direct Placement, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the COSO criteria. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the balance sheets as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 of Star Financial Direct Placement, Inc. and our report dated March 25, 2008 expressed a qualified opinion on matters other than those involving controls and procedures.
