ITEM 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

General

M-GAB Development Corporation, a Florida corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in March 2001. From inception through early 2003, our business was the development, marketing, and distribution of an interactive travel brochure. On May 16, 2003, we filed an election to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), which became effective on the date of filing.

Subsequent to the BDC election our principal business is to make venture capital investments in early-stage and/or developing enterprises that are principally engaged in the development or exploitation of inventions, technological improvements, and new or unique products and services. Our principal objective is long-term capital appreciation. We may invest in debt securities of these companies, or may acquire an equity interest in the form of common or preferred stock, warrants or options to acquire stock or the right to convert the debt securities into stock. We may invest alone, or as part of a larger investment group. Consistent with our status as a BDC and the purposes of the regulatory framework for BDC’s under the 1940 Act, we will provide managerial assistance, potentially in the form of a consulting agreement or in the form of a board of director’s seat, to the developing companies in which we invest.

In addition, we may acquire either a minority or controlling interest in mature companies in a roll-up strategy. It is anticipated that any acquisitions will be primarily for our stock, or a combination of cash and stock. The principal objective of acquisitions pursuant to a roll-up strategy would be to consolidate an industry and either sell the acquired entities as a larger unit, or take the unit public through an initial public offering, spin-off to our shareholders, or reverse merger into a publicly traded shell corporation.

We operate as an internally managed investment company whereby our officers and employees conduct our operations under the general supervision of our Board of Directors. We have not elected to qualify to be taxed as a regulated investment company as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, we do not have any intellectual property protections nor does our management feel that any is necessary, and we have not spent any funds on research and development or compliance with environmental laws during the last two fiscal years.

Regulation as a BDC

Although the 1940 Act exempts a BDC from registration under that Act, it contains significant limitations on the operations of BDC’s. Among other things, the 1940 Act contains prohibitions and restrictions relating to transactions between a BDC and its affiliates, principal underwriters and affiliates of its affiliates or underwriters, and it requires that a majority of the BDC’s directors be persons other than “interested persons,” as defined under the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act also prohibits a BDC from changing the nature of its business so as to cease to be, or to withdraw its election as, a BDC unless so authorized by the vote of the holders of a majority of its outstanding voting securities. BDC’s are not required to maintain fundamental investment policies relating to diversification and concentration of investments within a single industry.

Generally, a BDC must be primarily engaged in the business of furnishing capital and providing managerial expertise to companies that do not have ready access to capital through conventional financial channels. Such portfolio companies are termed “eligible portfolio companies.” More specifically, in order to qualify as a BDC, a company must (1) be a domestic company; (2) have registered a class of its equity securities or have filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; (3) operate for the purpose of investing in the securities of certain types of portfolio companies, namely immature or emerging companies and businesses suffering or just recovering from financial distress; (4) extend significant managerial assistance to such portfolio companies; and (5) have a majority of “disinterested” directors (as defined in the 1940 Act).

An eligible portfolio company is, generally, a U.S. company that is not an investment company and that (1) does not have a class of securities registered on an exchange or included in the Federal Reserve Board’s over-the-counter margin list; or (2) is actively controlled by a BDC and has an affiliate of a BDC on its board of directors; or (3) meets such other criteria as may be established by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Control under the 1940 Act is generally presumed to exist where a BDC owns 25% of the outstanding voting securities of the company.

The 1940 Act prohibits or restricts companies subject to the 1940 Act from investing in certain types of companies, such as brokerage firms, insurance companies, investment banking firms and investment companies. Moreover, the 1940 Act limits the type of assets that BDC’s may acquire to “qualifying assets” and certain assets necessary for its operations (such as office furniture, equipment and facilities) if, at the time of acquisition, less than 70% of the value of the BDC’s assets consist of qualifying assets. Qualifying assets include: (1) securities of companies that were eligible portfolio companies at the time the BDC acquired their securities; (2) securities of bankrupt or insolvent companies that were eligible at the time of the BDC’s initial acquisition of their securities but are no longer eligible, provided that the BDC has maintained a substantial portion of its initial investment in those companies; (3) securities received in exchange for or distributed in or with respect to any of the foregoing; and (4) cash items, government securities and high-quality short-term debt. The 1940 Act also places restrictions on the nature of the transactions in which, and the persons from whom, securities can be purchased in order for the securities to be considered qualifying assets. These restrictions include limiting purchases to transactions not involving a public offering and acquiring securities from either the portfolio company or its officers, directors, or affiliates.

A BDC is permitted to invest in the securities of public companies and other investments that are not qualifying assets, but those kinds of investments may not exceed 30% of the BDC’s total asset value at the time of the investment.

4

A BDC must make significant managerial assistance available to the issuers of eligible portfolio securities in which it invests. Making available significant managerial assistance means, among other things, any arrangement whereby the BDC, through its directors, officers or employees, offers to provide, and, if accepted does provide, significant guidance and counsel concerning the management, operations or business objectives and policies of a portfolio company. The portfolio company does not have to accept the BDC’s offer of managerial assistance, and if they do accept may be required to pay prevailing market rates for the services.

We do not currently have any investments in eligible portfolio companies.

Employees

Other than our current sole officer, we do not have any employees, and do not anticipate having any other employees other than administrative personnel in the future.

Statement of Risk Factors and Other Considerations

On at least an annual basis, we are required to provide our shareholders with a statement of risk factors and other considerations for their review. These risk factors and other considerations include:

We have not made any investments into other companies. We have not yet made any investments into other companies, and thus we have virtually no assets. We need to raise capital before we can make investments into, and offer managerial assistance to, other companies. We may not be successful in raising capital. If we are successful in raising capital, we may make investments that turn out to be worthless.

We have never generated any revenue, and we are not profitable. We were incorporated in March 2001 and have generated no revenue to date. Our primary activity to date has been development of our business plan, which has changed since our inception. Our success is dependent upon the successful development of our business model as a business development company, as to which there is no assurance. Unanticipated problems, expenses and delays are frequently encountered in establishing a new business. These include, but are not limited to, inadequate funding, competition, and investment development. Our failure to meet any of these conditions would have a materially adverse effect upon us and may force us to reduce or curtail operations. We may not ever be profitable.

We need to raise capital in order to fulfill our business plan. To date we have relied on private funding from our founders and directors, short-term borrowing, and capital raised from the sale of our common stock to fund operations. We have generated no revenues and have extremely limited cash liquidity and capital resources. Any equity financings could result in dilution to our stockholders. Debt financing may result in high interest expense. Any financing, if available, may be on unfavorable terms. If adequate funds are not obtained, we may be required to reduce or curtail operations.

Investing in our stock is highly speculative and you could lose some or all of your investment. The value of our common stock may decline and may be affected by numerous market conditions, which could result in the loss of some or the entire amount invested in our stock. The securities markets frequently experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that affect market prices for securities of companies generally, and very small capitalization companies in particular.
 
5

Investing in our stock may be inappropriate for your risk tolerance. Our planned investments into other companies, in accordance with our investment objective and principal strategies, result in a far above average amount of risk and volatility and may well result in loss of principal.

We will face a lot of competition, most of which is better capitalized and more experienced than us. We will face competition in our investing activities from private venture capital funds, investment affiliates of large industrial, technology, service and financial companies, small business investment companies, wealthy individuals and foreign investors. As a regulated business development company (“BDC”), we are required to disclose quarterly the name and business description of portfolio companies and value of any portfolio securities. Most of our competitors are not subject to this disclosure requirement. Our obligation to disclose this information could hinder our ability to invest in certain portfolio companies. Additionally, other regulations, current and future, may make us less attractive as a potential investor to a given portfolio company than a private venture capital fund.

We are subject to regulatory risks as a business development company. We are subject to regulation as a BDC. The loans and other investments that we expect to make in small business concerns are extremely speculative. Many of these concerns will be privately held. Even if a public market for their securities later develops, the securities we purchase are likely to be restricted from sale or other transfer for significant periods of time. These securities will be very illiquid.

The services of our directors and officer are key to our future success. We are dependent for the selection, structuring, closing and monitoring of its investments on the diligence and skill of our officer, Carl M. Berg, and each of our directors. Our future success depends to a significant extent on the continued service and coordination of its senior management team.

We plan to invest primarily in small, private companies. There are significant risks inherent in our planned venture capital business. We intend to invest a substantial portion of our assets in early stage or start-up companies. These private businesses tend to be thinly capitalized, unproven small companies with risky technologies that lack management depth and have not attained profitability or have no history of operations. Because of the speculative nature and the lack of a public market for these investments, there is significantly greater risk of loss than is the case with traditional investment securities. We expect that some of our investments will be a complete loss or will be unprofitable and that some will appear to be likely to become successful but never realize their potential. We intend to be risk seeking rather than risk averse in our approach to venture capital and other investments. Neither our investments nor an investment in our stock is intended to constitute a balanced investment program. We intend to rely to a large extent upon proceeds from sales of investments rather than investment income to defray a significant portion of our operating expenses. Such sales are unpredictable and may not occur. The terrorist acts in the United States of September 11, 2001 are the type of events that could severely impact a small company that does not have as many resources to ride out market downturns and would need immediate investment capital that might be temporarily unavailable.

There will be no liquid market for our portfolio investments. Most of our intended investments will be either equity securities acquired directly from small companies or below investment grade subordinated debt securities. Our portfolio of equity securities will usually be subject to restrictions on resale or otherwise have no established trading market. The illiquidity of most of our portfolio may adversely affect our ability to dispose of such securities at times when it may be advantageous for us.

Even if our portfolio companies are able to develop commercially viable products, the market for new products and services is highly competitive and rapidly changing. Commercial success is difficult to predict and the marketing efforts of our expected portfolio companies may not be successful.

6

Our board of directors will value our portfolio investments. There is typically no public market of equity securities of the small privately held companies in which we intend to invest. As a result, the valuation of the equity securities in our portfolio are likely to be stated at fair value as determined by the good faith estimate of our Board of Directors. In the absence of a readily ascertainable market value, the estimated value of our portfolio of securities may differ significantly, favorably or unfavorably, from the values that would be placed on the portfolio if a ready market for the equity securities existed.
 
Our quarterly results will fluctuate. Our quarterly operating results could fluctuate as a result of a number of factors. These factors include, among other things, variations in and the timing of the recognition of realized and unrealized gains or losses, the degree to which portfolio companies encounter competition in their markets and general economic conditions. As a result of these factors, results for any one quarter should not be relied upon as being indicative of performance in future quarters.

ITEM 2 - DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

We utilize the office of our legal counsel, The Lebrecht Group, APLC, under a verbal agreement where we do not pay rent or reimburse him for the minimal expenses incurred.

ITEM 3 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are not a party to or otherwise involved in any legal proceedings.

ITEM 4 - SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matters were submitted to a vote of the security holders during the three month period ended December 31, 2004.

PART II

ITEM 5 - MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Our securities are not listed for trading on any exchange or quotation service. We are not required to comply with the timely disclosure policies of any exchange or quotation service. The requirements to which we would be subject if our securities were so listed typically included the timely disclosure of a material change or fact with respect to our affairs and the making of required filings. Although we are not required to deliver an annual report to security holders, we intend to provide an annual report to our security holders, which will include audited financial statements.

There are currently warrants outstanding to acquire 333,334 shares of our common stock at $0.15 per share. Other than these warrants, there are no outstanding options or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into, shares of our common stock. If we are successful in getting our common stock traded, of the 6,383,845 shares of common stock outstanding, (i) 10,000 shares held by 20 shareholders of record were sold pursuant to an effective registration statement and may be sold without restriction, (ii) 13,000 shares held by 12 shareholders of record were sold in a private placement over two years ago and the resale of those shares was subsequently registered, and thus the shares may be sold either pursuant to the effective registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144(k), (iii) 450,000 shares are held by one shareholder who may sell all of them pursuant to Rule 144(k), and (iv) 360,845 shares held by 42 shareholders were acquired pursuant to an exemption from registration under Regulation E, promulgated under the Securities Act, and may be sold without restriction. In addition to the above, Mr. Carl Berg, our sole officer and director, is the holder of 5,550,000 shares and may sell up to 63,838 shares every 90 days pursuant to Rule 144.

The number of holders of record of shares of our common stock is seventy seven (77).

There have been no cash dividends declared on our common stock. Dividends are declared at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors.

The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 requires additional disclosure relating to the market for penny stocks in connection with trades in any stock defined as a penny stock. The Commission has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a few exceptions which we do not meet. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith.

ITEM 6 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Forward-looking statements are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky. These risks and uncertainties include international, national and local general economic and market conditions; demographic changes; our ability to sustain, manage, or forecast growth; our ability to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to protect technology; and other risks that might be detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Although the forward-looking statements in this Annual Report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects.

Plan of Operation

We were incorporated in March 2001. On May 16, 2003, we filed an election to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), which became effective on the date of filing.

Subsequent to the BDC election our principal business is to make venture capital investments in early-stage and/or developing enterprises that are principally engaged in the development or exploitation of inventions, technological improvements, and new or unique products and services. Our principal objective is long-term capital appreciation. We may invest in debt securities of these companies, or may acquire an equity interest in the form of common or preferred stock, warrants or options to acquire stock or the right to convert the debt securities into stock. We may invest alone, or as part of a larger investment group. Consistent with our status as a BDC and the purposes of the regulatory framework for BDC’s under the 1940 Act, we will provide managerial assistance, potentially in the form of a consulting agreement or in the form of a board of director’s seat, to the developing companies in which we invest.

In addition, we may acquire either a minority or controlling interest in mature companies in a roll-up strategy. It is anticipated that any acquisitions will be primarily in exchange for our common stock, or a combination of cash and stock. The principal objective of acquisitions pursuant to a roll-up strategy would be to consolidate an industry and either sell the acquired entities as a larger unit, or take the unit public through an initial public offering, spin-off to our shareholders, or reverse merger into a publicly traded shell corporation.

We operate as an internally managed investment company whereby our officers and employees conduct our operations under the general supervision of our Board of Directors. We have not elected to qualify to be taxed as a regulated investment company as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
9

We are currently in discussions with different market makers regarding the possibility of them filing an application to list our securities on the OTC Bulletin Board. We anticipate being listed for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board during the second or third quarter of 2005.

Management does not anticipate that we will engage in any material product research and development, nor do we anticipate that we will purchase a plant or significant equipment.
 
Our financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. Because we have not generated any revenues to date and have minimal capital resources, our Certified Public Accountants included an explanatory paragraph in their report raising substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Regulation as a BDC

Although the 1940 Act exempts a BDC from registration under that Act, it contains significant limitations on the operations of BDC’s. Among other things, the 1940 Act contains prohibitions and restrictions relating to transactions between a BDC and its affiliates, principal underwriters and affiliates of its affiliates or underwriters, and it requires that a majority of the BDC’s directors be persons other than “interested persons,” as defined under the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act also prohibits a BDC from changing the nature of its business so as to cease to be, or to withdraw its election as, a BDC unless so authorized by the vote of the holders of a majority of its outstanding voting securities. BDC’s are not required to maintain fundamental investment policies relating to diversification and concentration of investments within a single industry.

Generally, a BDC must be primarily engaged in the business of furnishing capital and providing managerial expertise to companies that do not have ready access to capital through conventional financial channels. Such portfolio companies are termed “eligible portfolio companies.” More specifically, in order to qualify as a BDC, a company must (1) be a domestic company; (2) have registered a class of its equity securities or have filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; (3) operate for the purpose of investing in the securities of certain types of portfolio companies, namely immature or emerging companies and businesses suffering or just recovering from financial distress; (4) extend significant managerial assistance to such portfolio companies; and (5) have a majority of “disinterested” directors (as defined in the 1940 Act).

An eligible portfolio company is, generally, a U.S. company that is not an investment company and that (1) does not have a class of securities registered on an exchange or included in the Federal Reserve Board’s over-the-counter margin list; or (2) is actively controlled by a BDC and has an affiliate of a BDC on its board of directors; or (3) meets such other criteria as may be established by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Control under the 1940 Act is generally presumed to exist where a BDC owns 25% of the outstanding voting securities of the company.

The 1940 Act prohibits or restricts companies subject to the 1940 Act from investing in certain types of companies, such as brokerage firms, insurance companies, investment banking firms and investment companies. Moreover, the 1940 Act limits the type of assets that BDC’s may acquire to “qualifying assets” and certain assets necessary for its operations (such as office furniture, equipment and facilities) if, at the time of acquisition, less than 70% of the value of the BDC’s assets consist of qualifying assets. Qualifying assets include: (1) securities of companies that were eligible portfolio companies at the time the BDC acquired their securities; (2) securities of bankrupt or insolvent companies that were eligible at the time of the BDC’s initial acquisition of their securities but are no longer eligible, provided that the BDC has maintained a substantial portion of its initial investment in those companies; (3) securities received in exchange for or distributed in or with respect to any of the foregoing; and (4) cash items, government securities and high-quality short-term debt. The 1940 Act also places restrictions on the nature of the transactions in which, and the persons from whom, securities can be purchased in order for the securities to be considered qualifying assets. These restrictions include limiting purchases to transactions not involving a public offering and acquiring securities from either the portfolio company or its officers, directors, or affiliates.
 
10

A BDC is permitted to invest in the securities of public companies and other investments that are not qualifying assets, but those kinds of investments may not exceed 30% of the BDC’s total asset value at the time of the investment.

A BDC must make significant managerial assistance available to the issuers of eligible portfolio securities in which it invests. Making available significant managerial assistance means, among other things, any arrangement whereby the BDC, through its directors, officers or employees, offers to provide, and, if accepted does provide, significant guidance and counsel concerning the management, operations or business objectives and policies of a portfolio company. The portfolio company does not have to accept the BDC’s offer of managerial assistance, and if they do accept may be required to pay prevailing market rates for the services.

The Company does not currently have any investments in eligible portfolio companies. However, we are actively seeking quality eligible portfolio companies in which to make an investment and provide managerial assistance.

Year Ended December 31, 2004 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2003
 
Results of Operations
 
Introduction

We did not have any revenues for either period presented. We do not anticipate having revenue until we begin making investments in eligible portfolio companies and subsequently liquidate those investments. Because we are actively seeking eligible portfolio companies we anticipate that our revenues from quarter-to-quarter may differ significantly depending on when we realize a return on those investments. Our operating expenses decreased when compared to the prior year due, primarily, to the fact we incurred less costs related to legal services. We recorded other income in the year ended December 31, 2004, amounting to $83,355 related entirely to forgiveness of debt by two of our shareholders. There was no other income recorded in the prior period. A breakdown of our operating expenses and other expenses, as well as management’s explanation of each, is outlined below.

Revenues and Income (Loss) from Operations
 
As stated above, because we do not have any investments in eligible portfolio companies, we did not have any revenues for the either period. We generated a net income of $57,059 for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to a net loss of ($63,253) for the prior year. Our expenses for the year’s ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were made up entirely of general and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses for 2004 consisted of $23,480 in accounting and other professional fees, $1,375 in transfer agent fees, and $1,441 in miscellaneous expenses, such as postage, facsimiles, and copies. Our general and administrative expenses for 2003 consisted of $17,620 in accounting and other professional fees, $37,730 in legal fees, $6,000 in value attributed to services provided by officer, $460 in transfer agent fees, and $1,443 in miscellaneous expenses, such as postage, facsimiles, and copies.

11

Net Income
 
We had net income for the year ended December 31, 2004 of $57,059, compared to a net loss of ($63,253) for the year ended December 31, 2003. The net income in the current year is a direct result of the forgiveness of debt in the amount of $83,355 which was recorded as other income in the accompanying financial statements for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. Because we do not have any investments in eligible portfolio companies, we anticipate that our net income (loss) could differ significantly from period to period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Introduction
 
As of December 31, 2004, we had cash of $17,403, which was a result of financing activities during the quarter ended March 31, 2004. This cash is our only asset. Our total current liabilities as of December 31, 2004 were $9,324 consisting entirely of accrued liabilities. Although our assets exceed our liabilities, given the lack of investments in eligible portfolio companies, our financial results at the end of future quarters could differ significantly. Until we begin to realize a return from our investment in eligible portfolio companies, we will have to fund operations from the sale of our stock and from loans. We have been successful in obtaining the necessary funding in the past, and anticipate that we will be able to continue to do so in the future.

Our cash, total current assets, total assets, total current liabilities, and total liabilities as of December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2004 are as follows:

Cash Requirements

Currently, our cash requirements are minimal, related only to the cost of maintaining the Company in good standing. During the past twelve months we raised a small amount of capital through an offering under Regulation E, which we anticipate will cover our expenses for at least the next twelve (12) months. Our two primary shareholders, Mr. Berg and Mr. Lebrecht, have verbally agreed to advance funds to us to fund our minimal cash requirements that cannot otherwise be covered by the proceeds from the offering. For the year ended December 31, 2004 our net cash used in operating activities was ($36,722). Due to our lack of substantial operations to date we do not believe this is necessarily indicative of our cash flow needs for future year periods when we may be actively providing managerial assistance to eligible portfolio companies. We anticipate that our cash flow needs will increase when we have active investments in eligible portfolio companies.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Operations

We did not receive any cash from operations for the year ended December 31, 2004. As noted above, we used $36,722 in cash for operating activities during this period. We anticipate that both our cash generated from operations and used for operations will increase as soon as we have investments in eligible portfolio companies. Until that time we believe this figure will be fairly indicative our cash generation and cash used for operations in a twelve month period.

Financing

During the year ended December 31, 2004 we paid our operating expenses primarily with the $54,125 raised from the sale of our stock. We anticipate that we will have to continue to pay our operating expenses out of the proceeds from financing activities until we begin to realize a return from our investments in eligible portfolio companies.

Debt Instruments, Guarantees, and Related Covenants

Currently, we do not have any debt instruments, guarantees or related covenants.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is deemed by our management to be material to investors.

Director (2003)

Carl M. Berg has served as our director and officer since our inception. He also currently serves as a company executive with STSN, Inc., a provider of wired and wireless broadband communications for business travelers, where he has served since 2003. Prior to STSN, from 1999 to 2003, he was a company executive with Sandlot Corporation, a startup subscription management software company. Sandlot is involved in managing subscription-based e-commerce. Mr. Berg directed business initiatives as the Business Development Manager, which resulted in growth of the company from 10 to 75 employees worldwide with offices in the U.S. and Windsor, United Kingdom. Prior to Sandlot Corporation, from 1992 to 1999, Mr. Berg served in various management positions in the technology division of Ameritech Corporation. His roles varied from the overall management of library automation implementation projects to directing the implementation division of roughly 75 technical staff. Job titles included Project Coordinator, Project Manager and Director of Implementation.

Kevin J. Gadawski joined our Board of Directors in May 2003. He also serves as the President of Worldwide Medical in Lake Forest, California, where he previously served as the Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer for Worldwide Medical Corporation from May of 2002. From May of 2001 to May of 2002, Mr. Gadawski served as the Chief Financial Officer of California Software Corporation in Irvine, California.

Audit Committee

On May 16, 2003, an Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, established in accordance with section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act, was formed. The directors who are members of the Audit Committee are Kevin J. Gadawski and Mark Stewart, with Mr. Gadawski considered an audit committee financial expert and an independent director.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's directors and executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company's equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

To the Company’s knowledge, none of the required parties are delinquent in their 16(a) filings.

Code of Ethics

We have not adopted a written code of ethics, primarily because we believe and understand that our officers and directors adhere to and follow ethical standards without the necessity of a written policy.

ITEM 10 - EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

None of our employees are subject to a written employment agreement. Our president elected to forego a salary during the early developmental stages, and also provided office space. We estimate the value of these services to be $6,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. As of December 31, 2004 we did not have any amounts owed to our president as he elected to forgive any outstanding amounts he was owed and to forego a salary until further notice.

On May 15, 2001, our directors and shareholders approved the M-GAB, Inc. 2001 Stock Option Plan, effective June 1, 2001. The plan offers selected employees, directors, and consultants an opportunity to acquire our common stock, and serves to encourage such persons to remain employed by us and to attract new employees. The plan allows for the award of stock and options, up to 600,000 shares of our common stock. In November 2003, we agreed to issue options to acquire 600,000 shares under the Plan to our two independent directors; however, these options will not be issued until such time as approved by the Commission in accordance with rules and regulations applicable to BDC’s. Our Application For an Order Pursuant to Section 61(a)(3)(B) of The Investment Company Act of 1940 to Permit the Issuance of Stock Options to Non-Interested Directors is currently pending before the Commission. We hope to receive approval to issue the options to our non-interested directors during the second quarter of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

The Summary Compensation Table shows certain compensation information for services rendered in all capacities for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003. Other than as set forth herein, no executive officer's salary and bonus exceeded $100,000 in any of the applicable years. The following information includes the dollar value of base salaries, bonus awards, the number of stock options granted and certain other compensation, if any, whether paid or deferred.

Compensation of Directors

In November 2003, we agreed to issue to each of Mr. Gadawski and Mr. Stewart options to acquire 300,000 shares of our common stock for serving as directors of the Corporation. The issuance of the options is subject to approval of the SEC pursuant to provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, and will not be issued until the issuance is approved by the SEC. The options are to be exercisable for a period of ten years from their grant date, at an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the grant date, and will expire upon their resignation from the Board. Our Application For an Order Pursuant to Section 61(a)(3)(B) of The Investment Company Act of 1940 to Permit the Issuance of Stock Options to Non-Interested Directors is currently pending before the Commission. We hope to receive approval to issue the options to our non-interested directors during the second quarter of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants




To:
The Board of Directors  of
M-GAB DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of M-GAB DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (the “Company”) (a Development Stage Corporation) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years then ended and the period from inception (March 27, 2001) through December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. 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 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 the Company as of December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended and the period from inception (March 27, 2001) through December 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has no established source of revenue and is dependent on its ability to raise substantial amounts of capital. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements
Decemebr 31, 2004 and 2003

1.
NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations. The Company incorporated in Florida on March 27, 2001. The fiscal year end of the Company is December 31. Planned principal operations of the Company have not yet commenced; activities to date have been limited to forming the Company, developing its business plan, and obtaining initial capitalization. On May 16, 2003, the Company filed an election to be treated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), which became effective on the date of filing. Subsequent to the BDC election the Company’s principal business is to make venture capital investments in early-stage and/or developing enterprises that are principally engaged in the development or exploitation of inventions, technological improvements, and new or unique products and services.

Principles of Accounting. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Accounting Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates 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 period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Shares Issued in Exchange for Services. The fair value of shares issued in exchange for services rendered to the Company is determined by the Company's officers and directors, as there is currently no market for the Company's stock.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company includes cash on deposit and short-term investments with original maturities less than ninety days as cash and cash equivalents in the accompanying financial statements.

General and Administrative Expenses. The Company's general and administrative expenses consisted primarily of legal and accounting fees for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.

Research and Development. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 2, “Accounting for Research and Development Costs.” As of December 31, 2004, no research and development costs have been incurred.

Advertising. Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. The Company has not incurred any advertising costs.

Stock-Based Compensation. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The Company has chosen to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in previously issued standards. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options issued to employees is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Company's stock at the date of grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Compensation is charged to expense over the shorter of the service or vesting period. Stock options issued to non-employees are recorded at the fair value of the services received or the fair value of the options issued, whichever is more reliably measurable, and charged to expense over the service period.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

Income Taxes. The Company has not made a provision for income taxes because of its financial statement and tax losses since its inception on March 27, 2001. A valuation allowance has been used to offset the recognition of any deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards due to the uncertainty of future realization. The use of any tax loss carry-forward benefits may also be limited as a result of changes in Company ownership.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company considers all liquid interest-earning investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Short-term investments generally mature between three months and six months from the purchase date. All cash and short-term investments are classified as available for sale and are recorded at market using the specific identification method; unrealized gains and losses are reflected in other comprehensive income. Cost approximates market for all classifications of cash and short-term investments.

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share. Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Basic net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share is based on the assumption that options are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, except when their effect would be anti-dilutive. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.

Recently Enacted Accounting Standards. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities”, SFAS No. 147, “Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions - an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 72 and 144 and FASB Interpretation No. 9”, SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123”, SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, and SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”, were recently issued. SFAS No. 146, 147, 148, 149 and 150 have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.
 
2. GOING CONCERN
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the financial statements, the Company has no established source of revenue, and as of December 31, 2004, the Company had limited working capital of $8,079. In addition, the Company has been in the development stage since its inception on March 27, 2001 and is dependent on outside financing to fund its operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Management's plans in regard to these matters are to continue to raise additional capital from selling the Company's stock. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such financing. Management believes actions currently being taken provide the opportunity for the Company to continue
as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Founders' Stock. The Company issued 6,000,000 shares of common stock on April 20, 2001 for cash totaling $600.

2001 Private Placement Memorandum. On June 1, 2001, the Company began an offering to sell up to 100,000 shares of common stock at $0.10 per share pursuant to a Private Placement Memorandum. In August 2001, the Company sold 13,000 shares of its common stock at $0.10 under this private placement. All proceeds from this offering were used for pre-incorporation expenditures, consulting fees and working capital.

Registered Stock Offering. During the quarter ended December 31, 2002, the Company sold 10,000 shares of its common stock at $0.10 per share for total proceeds of $1,000. The stock offering was pursuant to the Company's effective Form SB-2/A registration statement dated November 15, 2001. The Company used the proceeds to repay advances and general and administrative expenses. The Company's registered offering expired on October 30, 2002.

2004 Private Placement Memorandum. On March 2, 2004, the Company sold 360,845 stock units at $0.15 each for net proceeds of $54,125. Each stock unit consists of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock. The stock warrants are exercisable at any time before March 8, 2007 at $0.15 per share of common stock. The Company’s net proceeds of $54,125 from this stock sale will be used to fund Company operations.

The Company has computed the fair value of the stock warrants issued to be $0.02 per warrant. The Company recorded the total fair value of the warrants of $7,217 as an increase to its additional paid in capital in the accompanying financial statements. The Company used the Black-Sholes option pricing model to value the warrants with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 6.0%, expected dividend yield of 0, expected life of 3 years, and expected volatility of 1.0.

Amended and Restated 2001 Stock Option Plan. The Company's Board and shareholders approved a Stock Option Plan, effective June 1, 2001. The plan was amended by the Board and shareholders to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2001 Omnibus Securities Plan, effective May 27, 2004 (“2001 Plan”). The 2001 Plan limits the aggregate number of shares available to 600,000. Each award under the 2001 Plan will be evidenced by a Stock Purchase Agreement; each agreement will establish the vesting requirements and the maximum term of the options granted. On November 4, 2003, the Company agreed to issue 600,000 stock options to two directors under the 2001 Plan. In accordance with the Company’s status as a business development company, the stock options will not be issued until the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) approves the issuances, which the Company believes will occur during the next quarter. If approved by the SEC, the exercise price of the stock options will be at or above the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the issuance date.

2004 Omnibus Securities Plan. The Company’s Board and shareholders approved the Company’s 2004 Omnibus Securities Plan, effective May 27, 2004 (“2004 Plan”). The 2004 Plan limits the aggregate number of shares that can issue under the plan to 650,000 shares. Each award under the 2004 Plan will be evidenced by a Stock Purchase Agreement; each agreement will establish the vesting requirements and the maximum term of the options granted. The Company has not issued, or agreed to issue, any stock or options under the 2004 Plan. In accordance with the Company’s status as a business development company, no stock or options will be issued under the Plan until the SEC approves the 2004 Plan. If approved by the SEC, any stock or option issuances under the 2004 Plan will be at or above the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance.

Dilutive loss per share was not presented, as the Company had no common equivalent shares for all periods presented that would effect the computation of diluted loss per share.

5. INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes” which requires the liability approach for the effect of income taxes.

The Company has available at December 31, 2004, unused operating loss carryforwards of approximately $63,000, which may be applied against future taxable income and which expire in various years through 2025. If certain substantial changes in the Company's ownership should occur, there could be an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss carryforward which can be utilized. The amount of and ultimate realization of the benefits from the operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes is dependent, in part, upon the tax laws in effect, the future earnings of the Company and other future events, the effects of which cannot be determined. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the loss carryforwards, the Company has established a valuation allowance equal to the tax effect of the loss carryforwards, therefore, no deferred tax asset has been recognized for the loss carryforwards. The net deferred tax assets were approximately $21,000 and $48,000 at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, with an offsetting valuation allowance of the same amount resulting in a change in the valuation allowance of approximately $27,000 during the year ended December 31, 2004.
