PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Rub Music Enterprises, Inc. (the Company) was originally incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 6, 2004. We were a music library business that established a catalogue of copyrighted songs that we intended to license to parties who wished to use the songs and pay royalties for their use.
The Company encountered numerous problems and ceased its operations. The Company has now focused its efforts on seeking a business opportunity. The Company will attempt to locate and negotiate with a business entity for the merger of that target company 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 any target company. The Company will provide a method for a foreign or domestic private company to become a reporting (public) company whose securities are qualified for trading in the United States secondary market.
Effective February 10, 2009, the Company transferred its interest in Rub Music Library, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, to its former CEO in exchange for the forgiveness of accounts payable to the former CEO of $21,776.
PERCEIVED BENEFITS
There are certain perceived benefits to being a reporting company with a class of publicly-traded securities. These are commonly thought to include the following:
·
the ability to use registered securities to make acquisitions of assets or businesses;
·
increased visibility in the financial community;
·
the facilitation of borrowing from financial institutions;
·
improved trading efficiency;
·
shareholder liquidity;
·
greater ease in subsequently raising capital;
·
compensation of key employees through stock options;
·
enhanced corporate image;
·
a presence in the United States capital market.
POTENTIAL TARGET COMPANIES
A business entity, if any, which may be interested in a business combination with the Company, may include the following:
·
a company for which a primary purpose of becoming public is the use of its securities for the acquisition of assets or businesses;
·
a company which is unable to find an underwriter of its securities or is unable to find an underwriter of securities on terms acceptable to it;
·
a company which wishes to become public with less dilution of its common stock than would occur upon an underwriting;
·
a company which believes that it will be able to obtain investment capital on more favorable terms after it has become public;
·
a foreign company which may wish an initial entry into the United States securities market;
·
a special situation company, such as a company seeking a public market to satisfy redemption requirements under a qualified Employee Stock Option Plan;
3
·
a company seeking one or more of the other perceived benefits of becoming a public company.
A business combination with a target company will normally involve the transfer to the target company of the majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, and the substitution by the target company of its own management and board of directors. No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to enter into a business combination, as to the terms of a business combination, or as to the nature of the target company.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The Company's business is subject to numerous risk factors, including the following.
NO OPERATING HISTORY OR REVENUE AND MINIMAL ASSETS.
The Company has had very limited operating history and minimal revenues or earnings from operations. The Company has no significant assets or financial resources. The Company will, in all likelihood, sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues, at least until the consummation of a business combination. This may 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.
SPECULATIVE NATURE OF THE COMPANY'S PROPOSED OPERATIONS.
The success of the Company's proposed plan of operation will depend to a great extent on the operations, financial condition and management of the identified target company. While management will prefer business combinations with entities having established operating histories, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in locating candidates meeting such criteria. In the event the Company completes a business combination, of which there can be no assurance, the success of the Company's operations will be dependent upon management of the target company and numerous other factors beyond the Company's control.
SCARCITY OF AND COMPETITION FOR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES AND COMBINATIONS.
The Company is and will continue to be an insignificant participant in the business of seeking mergers with and acquisitions of business entities. A large number of established and well-financed entities, including venture capital firms, are active in mergers and acquisitions of companies which maybe merger or acquisition target candidates for the Company. Nearly all such entities have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than the Company and, consequently, the Company will be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully completing a business combination. Moreover, the Company will also compete with numerous other small public companies in seeking merger or acquisition candidates.
NO AGREEMENT FOR BUSINESS COMBINATION OR OTHER TRANSACTION - NO STANDARDS FOR BUSINESS COMBINATION.
The Company has no current arrangement, agreement or understanding with respect to engaging in a merger with or acquisition of a specific business entity. There can be no assurance that the Company 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 evaluation by the Company. 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 a specific length of operating history or a specified level of earnings, assets, net worth or other criteria which it will require a target company to have achieved, or without which the Company would not consider a business combination with such business entity. Accordingly, the Company may enter into a business combination with a business entity having no significant operating history, losses, limited or no potential for immediate earnings, limited assets, negative net worth or other negative characteristics.
CONTINUED MANAGEMENT CONTROL, LIMITED TIME AVAILABILITY.
While seeking a business combination, management anticipates devoting only a limited amount of time per month to the business of the Company. The Company's sole officer has not entered into a written employment agreement with the Company and he is not expected to do so in the foreseeable future. The Company has not obtained key man life insurance on its officer and director. Notwithstanding the combined limited experience and time commitment of management, loss of the services of this individual would adversely affect development of the Company's business and its likelihood of continuing operations.
4
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST - GENERAL.
The Company's officer and director participates in other business ventures which may compete directly with the Company. Additional conflicts of interest and non-arms length transactions may also arise in the future. Management has adopted a policy that the Company will not seek a merger with, or acquisition of, any entity in which any member of management serves as an officer, director or partner, or in which they or their family members own or hold any ownership interest. See ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE - Conflicts of Interest.
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS MAY DELAY OR PRECLUDE ACQUISITION.
Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") requires companies subject thereto to provide certain information about significant acquisitions, including certified financial statements for the company acquired covering one or two years, depending on the relative size of the acquisition. The time and additional costs that may be incurred by some target companies to prepare such financial 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 Exchange Act are applicable.
LACK OF MARKET RESEARCH OR MARKETING ORGANIZATION.
The Company has neither conducted, nor have others made available to it, market research indicating that demand exists for the transactions contemplated by the Company. Even in the event demand exists for a merger or acquisition of the type contemplated by the Company, there is no assurance the Company will be successful in completing any such business combination.
LACK OF DIVERSIFICATION.
The Company's proposed operations, even if successful, will in all likelihood result in the Company engaging in a business combination with only one business entity. Consequently, the Company's activities will be limited to those engaged in by the business entity which the Company merges with or acquires. The Company's inability to diversify its activities into a number of areas may subject the Company to economic fluctuations within a particular business or industry and therefore increase the risks associated with the Company's operations.
REGULATION UNDER INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT.
Although the Company will be subject to regulation under the Exchange Act, management believes the Company 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 the Company engages in business combinations which result in the Company holding passive investment interests in a number of entities, the Company could be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In such event, the Company would be required to register as an investment company and could be expected to incur significant registration and compliance costs. The Company has 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 could subject the Company to material adverse consequences.
PROBABLE CHANGE IN CONTROL AND MANAGEMENT.
A business combination involving the issuance of the Company's common stock will, in all likelihood, result in shareholders of a target company obtaining a controlling interest in the Company. Any such business combination may require shareholders of the Company to sell or transfer all or a portion of the Company's common stock held by them. The resulting change in control of the Company will likely result in removal of the present officer and director of the Company and a corresponding reduction in or elimination of his participation in the future affairs of the Company. Currently, there are no pending acquisitions, business combinations or mergers.
REDUCTION OF PERCENTAGE SHARE OWNERSHIP FOLLOWING BUSINESS COMBINATION.
The Company's primary plan of operation is based upon a business combination with a business entity which, in all likelihood, will result in the Company issuing securities to shareholders of such business entity. The issuance of previously authorized and unissued common stock of the Company would result in reduction in percentage of shares owned by the present shareholders of the Company and would most likely result in a change in control or management of the Company.
5
TAXATION.
Federal and state tax consequences will, in all likelihood, be major considerations in any business combination the Company may undertake. Currently, such transactions may be structured so as to result in tax-free treatment to both companies, pursuant to various federal and state tax provisions. The Company intends to structure any business combination so as to minimize the federal and state tax consequences to both the Company and the target company; however, there can be no assurance that such business combination will meet the statutory requirements of a tax-free reorganization or that the parties will obtain the intended tax-free treatment upon a transfer of stock or assets. A non-qualifying reorganization could result in the imposition of both federal and state taxes which may have an adverse effect on both parties to the transaction.
REQUIREMENT OF AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MAY DISQUALIFY BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES.
Management of the Company will request that any potential business opportunity provide audited financial statements. One or more attractive business opportunities may choose to forego the possibility of a business combination with the Company rather than incur the expenses associated with preparing audited financial statements. In such case, the Company may choose to obtain certain assurances as to the target company's assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses prior to consummating a business combination, with further assurances that an audited financial statement would be provided after closing of such a transaction. Closing documents relative thereto may include representations that the audited financial statements will not materially differ from the representations included in such closing documents.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
The Company is not subject to this requirement since it is not an accelerated filer.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company has no properties and at this time has no agreements to acquire any properties. The Company currently uses the home offices of Mr. Cornelius Hofman, the principal shareholder and sole officer and director of the Company, at no cost to the Company. Mr. Hofman has agreed to continue this arrangement until the Company completes an acquisition or merger.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There is no litigation pending or threatened by or against the Company.
ITEM 4. RESULTS OF VOTES OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted to a vote of the Companys shareholders during the quarter ended December 31, 2008.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Our common stock is listed on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) under the symbol RBME. There was not an active market and no trading volume during our fiscal years 2007 and 2008. There is no assurance that a trading market will ever develop or, if such a market does develop, that it will continue.
There are approximately 42 holders of the Company's Common Stock. The issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock were issued in accordance with the exemptions from registration afforded by Sections 3(b) and 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rules 506 and 701 promulgated there under.
The Company has not paid any dividends to date, and has no plans to do so in the immediate future.
During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company had no sales of unregistered securities.
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
The Company is not subject to this requirement since it is a smaller reporting company.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Since its inception on May 6, 2004, the Company attempted to establish a music library business that established a catalogue of copyrighted songs that it intended to license to parties who wished to use the songs and pay royalties for their use.
The Company encountered numerous problems and ceased its operations. The Company has now focused its efforts on seeking a business opportunity. The Company will attempt to locate and negotiate with a business entity for the merger of that target company 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 any target company. The Company will provide a method for a foreign or domestic private company to become a reporting (public) company whose securities are qualified for trading in the United States secondary market.
Effective February 10, 2009, the Company transferred its interest in Rub Music Library, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, to its former CEO in exchange for the forgiveness of accounts payable to the former CEO of $21,776.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Managements discussion and analysis of the Companys financial condition and results of operations are based upon financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles. The following accounting policies significantly affect the way the financial statements are prepared.
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and Rub Music Library, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Since inception, the Company has not held any short-term investments considered to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable: The Company records accounts receivable at the lower of cost or fair value. The Company estimates allowances for doubtful accounts based on its review of aged receivable balances, and writes off accounts receivable when management concludes the receivable is uncollectible. The Company considers accounts receivable to be past due or delinquent based on contractual terms. The Company had no accounts receivable at December 31, 2008.
Revenue Recognition: The Company records royalty revenue when earned in accordance with the underlying agreements. Consulting and service revenue is recognized as services are performed. Through December 31, 2008, the Company had not earned any consulting and service revenues.
Income Taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided for items reported in different periods for income tax purposes than for financial reporting purposes.
OPERATIONS REVIEW
During the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had no revenues as it had ceased operations and entered the development stage as of January 1, 2007.
General and administrative expenses were $26,215 for the year ended December 31, 2008, consisting of accounting and auditing fees of $16,718, legal fees of $6,281 and other expenses of $3,216. General and administrative expenses were $34,057 for the year ended December 31, 2007, consisting of accounting and auditing fees of $30,022, legal fees of $2,350 and other expenses of $1,685.
During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company incurred interest expense of $1,835 related to notes payable related party of $40,000. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company incurred interest expense of $35, related to a note payable of $3,000, which was repaid during 2007.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At December 31, 2008, the Company had current assets of $3,226, consisting of cash, and current liabilities of $76,197, resulting in a working capital deficiency of $72,971. Current liabilities at December 31, 2008 consist of trade accounts payable of $12,586, accounts payable related party of $21,776, notes payable related party of $40,000 and accrued interest payable related party of $1,835.
The notes payable related party are payable on demand, are unsecured and bear interest at an annual rate of 8%.
Since operations were discontinued effective January 1, 2007, the Company has had no source of revenues from which to pay its operating expenses. The Company obtained working capital from related party debt during 2008, and will require additional capital from the sale of its common stock or from other sources in order to pay its current obligations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in these efforts.
Effective February 10, 2009, the Company transferred its interest in Rub Music Library, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, to its former CEO in exchange for the forgiveness of accounts payable related party of $21,776.
Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $41,923, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $22,072 for the year ended December 31, 2007. The net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2008 included a repayment of accounts payable of $14,008 and a reduction in income taxes payable of $3,200. The net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2007 included a repayment of accounts payable related party of $6,000 and the repayment of accrued interest payable of $340.
No net cash was provided by or used in investing activities during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $40,000, consisting of proceeds from the notes payable related party. Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $3,000, consisting of the repayment of notes payable.
GENERAL BUSINESS PLAN.
The Company's purpose is to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire an interest in a business entity which desires to seek the perceived advantages of a corporation which has a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act. The Company will not restrict its search to any specific business, industry, or geographical location and the Company may participate in a business venture of virtually any kind or nature. Management anticipates that it will be able to participate in only one potential business venture because the Company has nominal assets and limited financial resources.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is not subject to this requirement since it is a smaller reporting company.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our President, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our President 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President, 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 a company have been detected. We believe our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our 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 of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
Our management, with the participation of the President, evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation, our management, with the participation of the President, concluded that, as of December 31, 2008, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only managements report in this annual report.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting, known to the President, which occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
Effective February 10, 2009, the Company transferred its interest in Rub Music Library, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, to its former CEO in exchange for the forgiveness of accounts payable related party of $21,776.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors
Rub Music Enterprises, Inc. and Subsidiary
Star, Idaho
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Rub Music Enterprises, Inc. and Subsidiary [a development stage company] as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2008 and for the period from re-entering the development stage on January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2008. Rub Music Enterprises, Inc. and Subsidiarys management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits 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 Companys 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide 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 Rub Music Enterprises, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2008 and for the period from re-entering the development stage on January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming Rub Music Enterprises, Inc. and Subsidiary will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 8 to the financial statements, Rub Music Enterprises, Inc. and Subsidiary has incurred losses since its inception and has not yet established profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 8. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Development Stage
Rub Music Enterprises, Inc. (Rub Music) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Rub Music Library, Inc. (Rub Music Library), (collectively the Company) were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 6, 2004. The Companys principal business was to produce and market original musical pieces for use in the commercial and entertainment industries. The Company encountered difficulties in developing this business, and recently ceased its operations. The Company once again became a development stage company, effective January 1, 2007, and is currently seeking a business opportunity.
Effective February 10, 2009, Rub Music transferred its interest in Rub Music Library to its former CEO in exchange for the forgiveness of accounts payable to the former CEO of $21,776.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Rub Music and Rub Music Library. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Since inception, the Company has not held any short-term investments considered to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
The Company records accounts receivable at the lower of cost or fair value. The Company estimates allowances for doubtful accounts based on its review of aged receivable balances, and writes off accounts receivable when management concludes the receivable is uncollectible. The Company considers accounts receivable to be past due or delinquent based on contractual terms. The Company had no accounts receivable at December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Revenue Recognition
The Company records royalty revenue when earned in accordance with the underlying agreements. Consulting and service revenue is recognized as services are performed. Through December 31, 2008, the Company had not earned any consulting and service revenues.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided for items reported in different periods for income tax purposes than for financial reporting purposes.
Earnings Per Share
The computation of basic earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.
The computation of diluted earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus the common stock equivalents which would arise from the exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding using the treasury stock method and the average market price per share during the period. Common stock equivalents are not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation when their effect is antidilutive. The Company has not granted any stock options or warrants since inception.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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.
NOTE 2 INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109. SFAS No. 109 requires the Company to provide a net deferred tax asset or liability equal to the expected future tax benefit or expense of temporary reporting differences between book and tax accounting and any available operating loss or tax credit carryforwards.
Deferred tax assets are comprised of the following:
|
| December 31, | ||
|
| 2008 |
| 2007 |
|
|
|
|
|
Net operating loss carryforward | $ | 30,469 | $ | 24,202 |
Organization costs |

| 67 |
Less valuation allowance |
| (30,489) |
| (24,269) |
|
|
|
|
|
| $ | - | $ | - |
The amount and ultimate realization of the benefits from the deferred tax assets for income tax purposes is dependent, in part, upon the tax laws in effect, the Companys future earnings, and other future events, the effects of which cannot be determined. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance to fully offset its deferred tax assets.
The reconciliation of the provision (benefit) for income taxes computed at the U.S. federal statutory tax rate to the Companys effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 is as follows:
|
| Years Ended December 31, | ||
|
| 2008 |
| 2007 |
|
|
|
|
|
Federal benefit at statutory rate | $ | (4,208) | $ | (5,114) |
State income tax, net of federal benefit |

| 6,220 |
| 7,671 |
|
|
|
|
|
Provision (benefit) for income taxes | $ | (1,500) | $ | 1,600 |
At December 31, 2008, the Company has a net operating loss carryforward available to offset future taxable income of approximately $135,000, which expires in various years through 2028. Substantial changes in the Companys ownership have occurred, and therefore there is an annual limitation of the amount of the net operating loss carryforward which can be utilized.

NOTE 3 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On January 1, 2005, the Company entered into a contract to purchase the royalty revenue stream for two years from the former CEO for $75,000. Also according to the contract, the former CEO could transfer in other intangible assets into a library and be paid up to an additional $50,000. The Company has received the royalty revenue stream, and rights to the additional intangible assets in the total amount of $125,000. The rights were recorded at the former CEOs carryover basis of $0. The difference between the carryover basis and the consideration paid, net of tax effect of $28,125, reduced by a valuation allowance of $28,125 leaving a net effect of $0 has been recorded as a special equity distribution. The net result of this transaction was to increase accounts payable related party by $125,000, reduce additional paid-in capital by $118,407, and reduce retained earnings by $6,593. The Company had outstanding accounts payable related party in the amount of $21,776 that relates to this contract as of December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Effective February 10, 2009, Rub Music transferred its interest in Rub Music Library to the former CEO in exchange for the forgiveness of accounts payable related party of $21,776.
As of December 31, 2008, the Company had outstanding notes payable totaling $40,000 to its CEO. The notes are payable on demand, are unsecured and bear interest at an annual rate of 8%. Accrued interest payable on the note as $1,835 as of December 31, 2008.
NOTE 4 CAPITAL STOCK
The Companys preferred stock may have such rights, preferences and designations and may be issued in such series as determined by the Board of Directors. No shares were issued and outstanding at December 31, 2008.
NOTE 5 SUPPLEMENTAL STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS INFORMATION
During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company paid $1,700 for income taxes.
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company paid $1,600 for income taxes.
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company paid $340 for interest expense.
NOTE 6 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Companys financial instruments consist of cash and accounts payable. The carrying amount of cash and accounts payable approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these items.
NOTE 7 RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Financial Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60, SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations, SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Subsidiaries, SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments, and SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3, were recently issued. These recently-enacted accounting standards have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.
NOTE 8 GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company was only recently formed and has a limited operating history. Further, the Company has current liabilities in excess of current assets and a stockholders deficit at December 31, 2008. The Company is currently seeking a business opportunity. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. In this regard management is proposing to raise any necessary additional funds not provided by operations through additional sales of its common stock. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising this additional capital or in sustaining profitable operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
