Millstream Ventures, Inc.
(A Development Stage Enterprise)
Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements
September 30, 2009
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Millstream Ventures, Inc. (the Company) were prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Management of the Company (Management) believes that the following disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended March 31, 2009 included in the Companys Form 10-K report.
These unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of Management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company for the periods presented. Operating results for the six months ended September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2010.
Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
The Company was incorporated in the State of Utah on April 7, 1983 as Carbon Technologies, Inc. for the purpose of engaging in the carbon fiber technology business. Subsequently, the Company became inactive and on May 26, 2005, as part of a reorganization and change of control, the Companys corporate domicile was moved to Nevada. The Company currently operates as a development stage enterprise seeking to enter into a reverse acquisition with an existing business or otherwise acquire an operating entity.
Quasi-reorganization
During 2001, the Company entered into a quasi-reorganization that resulted in the capital accounts of the Company being adjusted with the effect that the paid-in capital account was reduced by the balance in the accumulated deficit account in the amount of $388,919. No other accounts were affected by this adjustment. Subsequent operating results were recorded in the accumulated deficit account until the Companys reorganization on May 26, 2005. Thereafter, operating results have been recorded in a separate account entitled Deficit accumulated since inception of development stage.
Net Loss per Common Share
The computation of net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. No potentially dilutive securities or derivative instruments are outstanding.
Income Taxes
The Company has no deferred taxes arising from temporary differences between income for financial reporting and for income tax purposes. At September 30, 2009, the Company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $62,200 that expires if unused through March 2030. A deferred tax asset in the amount of $9,330 is fully offset by a valuation allowance in the same amount. The change in the valuation allowance was $440 and $807 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company follows the provisions of uncertain tax positions as addressed in FASB ASC 740-10-65-1. The Company recognized approximately no increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
The Company has no tax position at September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. No such interest or penalties were recognized during the periods presented. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties at September 30, 2009 or March 31, 2009. The Companys utilization of any net operating loss carry forward may be unlikely as a result of its intended development stage activities.

Millstream Ventures, Inc.
(A Development Stage Enterprise)
Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements
September 30, 2009
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Enacted Accounting Standards
- In June 2009 the FASB established the Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification" or "ASC") as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants. Existing GAAP was not intended to be changed as a result of the Codification, and accordingly the change did not impact our financial statements. The ASC does change the way the guidance is organized and presented.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") SFAS No. 165 (ASC Topic 855), "Subsequent Events", SFAS No. 166 (ASC Topic 810), "Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets-an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140", SFAS No. 167 (ASC Topic 810), "Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)", and SFAS No. 168 (ASC Topic 105), "The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles-a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162" were recently issued. SFAS No. 165, 166, 167, and 168 have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.
Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU No. 2009-05 (ASC Topic 820), which amends Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures - Overall, ASU No. 2009-13 (ASC Topic 605), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue arrangements, ASU No. 2009-14 (ASC Topic 985), Certain Revenue Arrangements that include Software Elements, and various other ASU's No. 2009-2 through ASU No. 2009-15 which contain technical corrections to existing guidance or affect guidance to specialized industries or entities were recently issued. These updates have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.
Note 3 Related Party Transactions
Management Services
During the six months ended September 30, 2008, the Company incurred $7,088 with its then sole officer and director for management and accounting services.
Related Party Notes Payable
During the three months ended September 30, 2009 an affiliate of the Company's sole officer and director made cash advances to the Company of $7,500 and as of September 30, 2009, a total of $14,000 with interest accruing at 8% per annum, had been advanced pursuant to an unsecured note payable due February 1, 2011. At September 30, 2009, interest in the amount of $405 has accrued on this note.
In October 2008, the Company received $16,000 from a stockholder pursuant to an unsecured promissory demand note bearing interest at the rate of 18% per annum. At September 30, 2009, interest in the amount of $2,775 has accrued on this note.

Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements
September 30, 2009
Note 4 Going Concern
The Companys financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since its inception as a development stage enterprise on May 26, 2005, the Company has incurred losses that total approximately $62,200. The Companys ability to continue as a going concern will depend upon it receiving capital through the issuance of notes or the sale of its equity stock. Furthermore, the Company is dependent on its Management serving without remuneration. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from an unfavorable outcome to the aforementioned uncertainties.
Note 5 Capital Stock
The Company is currently seeking to enter into a reverse acquisition with an existing business or otherwise acquire an operating entity. If successful, such business activity will likely result in the issuance of shares of the Companys common and/or preferred stock, which the Companys board of directors is authorized to issue without the approval of the Companys stockholders.
Note 6 Subsequent Event
The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through October 26, 2009 and has determined that there are no events, other than as described below, that require disclosure herein.
Related Party Notes Payable
During October 2009, the Company received $1,500 from an entity related to the Companys current sole officer and director. The cash was used to pay its September 30, 2009 accounts payable. As of October 19, 2009, the total principal amount due such entity was $15,500. The Company entered into an unsecured note payable with respect to these amounts which is due on or before February 1, 2011 with interest accruing at the rate of 8% per annum.

(the Company) was originally incorporated in the State of Utah on April 7, 1983, as Carbon Technologies, Inc. for the purpose of engaging in the carbon fiber technology business. Subsequently, the Company became inactive and on May 26, 2005, as part of a reorganization and change of control, the Companys corporate domicile was changed to Nevada. The Company currently operates as a development stage enterprise seeking to enter into a reverse acquisition with an existing business or otherwise acquire an operating entity.
The Company is seeking to acquire a foreign or domestic private business opportunity (Target Company). The Company will attempt to locate and negotiate with a Target Company for the merger of that entity into the Company. In certain instances, a Target Company may wish to become a subsidiary of the Company or may wish to contribute assets to the Company rather than merge. No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in locating or negotiating with a Target Company. The Company will provide a method for a Target Company to become a reporting (public) company whose securities are qualified for trading in the United States secondary market.
The acquisition of a Target Company will normally involve the transfer to the stockholders of the Target Company the majority of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company, and the substitution by the Target Company of its own management and board of directors.
The Company's plan of operations is subject to numerous risk factors including, but not limited to the following:
1-
The Company will, in all likelihood, sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues. This will result in the Company incurring a net operating loss which will increase continuously until the Company can consummate a business combination with a Target Company. There is no assurance that the Company can identify such a Target Company and consummate such a business combination. There is also no assurance that the Company will be able to finance its operations while it searches for a Target Company.
2-
The Company is in competition with a large number of established and well-financed entities, including venture capital firms that are active in the merger and acquisition of a Target Company. Nearly all such entities have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise, and managerial capabilities than the Company. Moreover, the Company will also compete with numerous other small public companies in seeking a Target Company.
3-
At the present time, the Company has not identified any particular industry or specific business within an industry for evaluation and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to negotiate a business combination on terms favorable to the Company. The Company has not established any criteria with respect to the Target Companys length of operating history or a specified level of earnings, assets, net worth or other criteria. Accordingly, the Company may enter into a business combination with a Target Company having no significant operating history and no potential for immediate earnings.
4-
The Company's sole officer and director (Executive), who serves without remuneration, does not have an employment agreement with the Company.
5-
The Executive is under no restriction to limit his participation in other business ventures which may compete directly with the Company. The Company has adopted a policy that it will not seek to acquire a Target Company in which the Executive serves as an officer, director or partner, or in which he or his family members own or hold any ownership interest.
6-
A business combination involving the issuance of the Company's capital stock will, in all likelihood, result in stockholders of the Target Company obtaining a significant and substantial controlling interest in the Company. The issuance of previously authorized and unissued capital stock of the Company would result in a reduction in the percentage of shares owned by the present stockholders of the Company.
9
7-
There is no assurance that as a result of the acquisition of a Target Company, a viable trading market for the Companys common stock will develop. If no market develops, stockholders of the Companys common stock will not be able to sell their shares publicly, making an investment of limited or little, if any, value.
8-
The selection of a Target Company will be at the sole discretion of the Executive. The Executive does not have expertise in investment banking activities and stockholder approval will not be sought in the selection of a Target Company.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
Since October 2008, the Company has received capital to conduct its business operations from loans. Sixteen thousand dollars in cash was received in October 2008 pursuant to an unsecured promissory demand note bearing interest at 18% per annum. Since February 2009, the Company has received a total of $15,500 in cash from Lorikeet, Inc., an entity related to the Executive (Lorikeet) and the Company entered into an unsecured promissory note due on or before February 1, 2011, bearing interest at 8% per annum. These unsecured notes have resulted in a liability as of September 30, 2009, of $30,000 plus accrued interest of $3,180. In addition, at September 30, 2009 the Company had accounts payable of $1,500. Subsequent to September 30, 2009, the Company received an additional $1,500 in cash from Lorikeet which was used to pay its September 30, 2009 accounts payable. The principal amount of related party notes payable at October 26, 2009 was a total of $31,500.
The Company estimates that recurring costs, identified as accounting fees, legal fees, auditor fees (including fees to review interim financial information), stockholder related costs, and fees associated with maintaining the Companys current standing with regulatory agencies, will average approximately $5,000 every three months. In addition, costs will be incurred as the Company searches for a Target Company and engages professionals in that effort.
In order to fulfill its ongoing financial needs, the Company will aggressively seek to obtain capital either through loans/notes payable or through the issuance of shares of its common or preferred stock. At the present time, the terms, conditions, amounts, price, and other particulars relating to these potential sources of capital cannot be determined. Furthermore, the actual success achieved by the Company in its capital raising activities, cannot be assured or the likelihood thereof determined.
The Company has not negotiated the terms of any capital raising activity. Future capital raising activity will be substantially limited given current market conditions and will in all likelihood be restricted to existing stockholders or other individuals or entities knowledgeable of the reverse acquisition marketplace. Even though the Companys common stock is currently listed on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, its trading activity is virtually nonexistent. Inasmuch as the Companys common stock does not have an established market value, the ability of the Company to obtain financing will be limited and will be on terms less favorable than if an established market for its common stock existed.
In its capital raising activities, the Company may also provide additional incentives such as stock options, warrants, or registration rights. The Company may obligate itself contractually with respect to such incentives or may agree to such incentives on a non-obligatory basis. Regardless of the terms agreed upon between the Company and any investor, the need for future capital in order for the Company to continue its plan of operations is inevitable. Current unsettled economic conditions will impact the Companys ability to locate any investors. Changes in national as well as global economic conditions, including changes in financial and equity markets, interest rates, and the perception by investors, real or perceived, will impede our Companys access to, or increase the cost of financing activities. The Company will be in competition for capital with other entities that have identifiable assets, liquidity and revenue producing operations.
The financial statements contained in this interim report have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. However, the Company has not engaged in any operations that have produced revenue and is dependent on debt financing or the sale of its equity securities for capital. As a result, the possibility exists that the Company will not be able to continue as a going concern. Nevertheless, the Executive believes that sufficient funding is available to meet its operating needs during the next twelve months. The financial statements included in this interim report do not include any adjustments that might result from an unfavorable outcome of this uncertainty.
The acquisition of a Target Company will result in substantial dilution for the Company's current stockholders. Inasmuch as the Company only has its equity securities, consisting of common and preferred stock, as a capital resource to provide consideration for the acquisition of a Target Company, the issuance of a substantial portion of the Companys equity securities is the most likely method for the Company to consummate such a business combination. The issuance of any shares of the Company's preferred stock, if convertible into common stock, and the issuance of shares of its common stock will dilute the ownership percentage that current stockholders have in the Company.

Results of Operations:
During the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company has investigated the potential of entering into a business combination with a Target Company. Nevertheless, the current economic climate has caused the Company's efforts to be primarily procedural. As the Company continues to search for a Target Company, expenses will be incurred without offsetting revenue. Such expenses may include travel and other means of extensive investigative research. There can be no assurance that the Company will receive any benefits from these expenses. The Company may also incur fees from third parties retained to investigate a Target Company. In the event that a Target Company is located and a mutually beneficial agreement is not reached between the Company and the Target Company, cost incurred as a result will be of no direct benefit to the Company. If and when a Target Company is located and an acquisition agreement is reached, there is still no assurance that any income will accrue to the Company or that a revenue stream will develop.
The current economic climate has stifled the Companys ability to locate a Target Company inasmuch as a Target Company often seeks to obtain capital through such a reorganization. Until such time as capital is more readily available, a reorganization is unlikely to occur and the Company will continue to expend its limited capital resources without generating income. Thus, future operating results are not likely to change from those experienced in the past several quarters.
The Company will continue to not restrict its search for a business opportunity to any particular industry or geographical area and may, therefore, attempt to acquire any business in any industry. Nevertheless, even this broad range of possible business activities may not be sufficient to attract a Target Company during times of uncertainty and when such financial liquidity concerns exist. If and when a business opportunity is selected, such business opportunity may not be in an industry that is following general business trends.
The Company has not entered into an employment agreement with its Executive and the Executive serves the Company without compensation. The Executive has no obligation to continue in this capacity. If the Executive should elect to leave the Company, the Companys ability to attract another individual or individuals to serve in the capacity of an officer and/or director may be difficult.
Off-balance sheet arrangements:
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements and it is not anticipated that the Company will enter into any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 4T - Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, consisting of our president and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting during our most recent quarterly period.
