Introduction
History of Our Company – Capital Markets Technologies, Inc.
We were incorporated in the State of Florida on June 29, 1995 under the name “RLN Realty Associates, Inc.” with an authorized share capital of 7,500 shares of common stock with a $1.00 par value per share.
The following amendments have occurred:
| • | June 9, 1998: increase in authorized share capital to 50,000,000 shares of common stock with a $.001 par value per share. In addition to increasing the authorized capital, RLN Realty Associates authorized a split of its 5,000 outstanding shares of common stock on a 200-for-one basis effective on June 9, 1998. On June 12, 1998, RLN Realty Associates filed an application on Form 211 for its common stock to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, which was approved on June 18, 1998. |
| • | Mar 1, 1999: corporate name change from RLN Realty Associates, Inc. to Netmaximizer.com, Inc. |
| • | October 19, 1999: a 3 for 1 split of common stock effective as of November 1, 1999 |
| • | April 10, 2000: an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation increasing the total number of shares that may be issued to 77,000,000, consisting of 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share and 2,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, par value $.001 per share. |
| • | October 3, 2005: change in corporate name from Netmaximizer.com, Inc. to Gentech Pharma, Inc. and concurrently reverse split of the common stock on a 500 for 1 basis |
| • | December 19, 2005: increase authorized capital to 100,000,000 common shares |
| • | September 1, 2006: change in corporate name from Gentech Pharma, Inc. to Fintech Group, Inc. |
| • | September 1, 2006: amend and restate Articles of Incorporation in particular increase authorized common shares to 250,000,000 par value $.001 and Preferred stock to 10,000,000 shares par value $.001 |
| • | February 8, 2007: change in corporate name from Fintech Group, Inc. to Capital Markets Technologies, Inc. |
In the past we were an e-commerce department store that sold a wide variety of consumer goods to members of affinity groups, paying a commission on those sales to the affinity group. In 2002, we ceased our business operations due to lack of funding. We were de-listed from the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board exchange to the “pink sheets” exchange for failure to file timely reports pursuant to the Securities Act of 1934, as amended with Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
During 2006, we changed our name to Fintech Group, Inc. and subsequently to Capital Markets Technologies, Inc. to reflect our current focus. We are a financial technology solutions company providing innovative solutions to global financial institutions and major corporations. The company currently is operating in Chicago, and with its proposed acquisition of Simplex Consulting will operate out of London, England as well. We were founded initially to capitalize on the estimated US$30 billion financial technology
1
market opportunity which management believes exists within Europe between 2007—2010. Our management has an aggressive acquisitions strategy focusing on companies which are well positioned to take advantage of the paradigm shift occurring in the financial technology markets under the European Union regulatory directives: MiFID (“Markets in Financial Instruments Directive”) and SEPA (Single Euro Payments Area”).
Europe’s entire financial technology landscape is set to change by 2010 as a result of MiFID and SEPA which make it mandatory for every one of Europe’s 8,000 Financial Institutions (FIs) to change their IT systems and trade processes. The knock-on effects of these directives will impact tens of thousands of non-bank FIs and euro-zone corporate treasuries. Through a number of acquired subsidiaries, CMT will provide its global tier 1 and 2 financial services customers with financial technology solutions helping them to comply with, or capitalize on the world’s most significant financial services legislation ever seen.
MiFID, aims to create a pan-European securities market which affects thousands of securities firms as well as the outlook for Europe’s regional stock exchanges. SEPA will create the infrastructure which has yet to be rolled out to support the euro, and will remove cross border payments from within the euro zone.
These two directives are set to cost the financial services industry an estimated US$30 billion in business process re-engineering and technology change before 2010. CMT aims to capitalize on this opportunity by gaining a foothold in the European financial technology markets, and with it, a depth of local market knowledge in order to truly understand the implications and opportunities which regulatory change will provide.
On April 20, 2007, our management released a disclosure that we had completed due diligence on Simplex Consulting Limited “Simplex”, a UK-based consulting firm specializing in wholesale payments and post-trade processing technologies and services in the banking and securities markets and we have entered into a letter of intent to acquire 100% of the outstanding common shares. CMT will now make a definitive offer for Simplex and hopes to finalize the transaction this year, although no assurances can be made that such transaction will be finalized. Simplex’s current parent company has completed the conversion of debt to equity with all convertible bond holders. Simplex is one of only three SWIFT Service Partners in the UK, Ireland and Nordic territories and runs a SWIFT Service Bureau providing outsourced connectivity to the SWIFT Network and other value-added services. Simplex’s customer base includes a number of the world’s leading financial institutions as well as asset managers, hedge funds and large corporations.
The Simplex transaction will represent an integral part of our business strategy. Simplex has been in the financial technology consulting business for a decade and has a deep understanding of the European financial technology markets. Simplex’s domain expertise combined with CMT’s aggressive expansion plans and financing strengths will allow both parties to focus on their respective expertise to realize a common goal in Europe.
Simplex Consulting Ltd. is one of Europe’s leading financial technology consultancies focusing on business change, systems implementation and STP within the Banking, Securities and corporate treasury marketplaces. Simplex was established in 1997 to provide a high quality systems implementation service focusing on the middleware and evolving STP and exception based processing requirements of financial institutions. Simplex is an accredited SWIFT Service Partner, and operates a SWIFT Service Bureau, offering an outsourced SWIFTNet connectivity service, and a range of value added outsourced applications. Although not incorporated by reference to this filing, further information regarding Simplex can be found at www.simplexconsulting.com and further information about us can be found at www.capitalmarketstech.com.
We have not been subject to any bankruptcy, receivership or other similar proceeding.

(CMT) has no written agreement and currently pays no rent for the use of these facilities, it is contemplated that in the near future we will be seeking appropriate office space in Chicago to conduct our operations. Upon completion of our proposed acquisition with Simplex Consulting, we will acquire their existing office space in London, England as well.

| ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
You should carefully consider the risks described below and all other information contained in or incorporated by reference into this Form 10-KSB. Some of the following risks relate principally to our stock. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, not included hereunder or risks that we currently consider immaterial, may also impair our operations or results. If any of the following risks actually occurs, we may not be able to conduct our business as currently planned and our financial condition and operating results could be seriously harmed.
The Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting firm Contains Explanatory Language that Substantial Doubt Exists About our Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The independent auditor’s report on our financial statements contains explanatory language that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern. The report states that we depend on the continued contributions of our executive officers to work effectively as a team, to execute our business strategy and to manage our business. The loss of key personnel or their failure to work effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we are unable to obtain sufficient financing in the near term or achieve profitability, then we would, in all likelihood, experience severe liquidity problems and may have to curtail our operations. If we curtail our operations, we may be placed into bankruptcy or undergo liquidation, resulting which will adversely affect the value of our common shares.
3
Risks Relating to Ownership of our Common Stock
Although there is presently a market for our common stock, the price of our common stack may be extremely volatile and investors may not be able to sell their shares at or above their purchase price, or at all. We anticipate that the market may be potentially highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially because of:
| • | Actual or anticipated fluctuations in our future business and operating results; |
| • | Changes in or failure to meet market expectations; |
| • | Fluctuations in stock market price and volume |
We Do Not Intend to Pay Dividends
We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We may not have sufficient funds to legally pay dividends. Even if funds are legally available to pay dividends, we may nevertheless decide in our sole discretion not to pay dividends. The declaration, payment and amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of the board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors our board of directors may consider relevant. There is no assurance that we will pay any dividends in the future, and, if dividends are rapid, there is no assurance with respect to the amount of any such dividend.
Possible “Penny Stock” Regulation
Any trading of our common stock in the Pink Sheets or on the OTC Bulletin Board may be subject to certain provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, commonly referred to as the “penny stock” rule.
Our common stock is deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Penny stocks are stock:
| • | With a price of less than $5.00 per share; |
| • | That are not traded on a “recognized” national exchange; |
| • | Whose prices are not quoted on the Nasdaq automated quotation system (Nasdaq listed stock must still have a price of not less than $5.00 per share); or |
| • | In issuers with net tangible assets less than $2.0 million (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $5.0 million (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the last three years. |
Broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks. Moreover, broker/dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. These requirements may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for investors in our common stock to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them. This could cause our stock price to decline.
4
Because We Are Quoted On Pink Sheets Instead Of An Exchange Or National Quotation System, Our Investors May Have A Tougher Time Selling Their Stock Or Experience Negative Volatility On The Market Price Of Our Stock.
Our common stock is traded on the Pink Sheets. The Pink Sheets are often highly illiquid, in part because it does not have a national quotation system by which potential investors can follow the market price of shares except through information received and generated by a limited number of broker-dealers that make markets in particular stocks. There is a greater chance of volatility for securities that trade on the Pink Sheets as compared to a national exchange or quotation system. This volatility may be caused by a variety of factors, including the lack of readily available price quotations, the absence of consistent administrative supervision of bid and ask quotations, lower trading volume, and market conditions. Investors in our common stock may experience high fluctuations in the market price and volume of the trading market for our securities. These fluctuations, when they occur, have a negative effect on the market price for our securities. Accordingly, our stockholders may not be able to realize a fair price from their shares when they determine to sell them or may have to hold them for a substantial period of time until the market for our common stock improves.
Delinquent Filing of SEC Reports and Inadequacies of Disclosures
The Company failed to timely file with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) its periodic reports, including its annual reports on Form 10KSB for fiscal 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005, and 2006 and its Form 10QSB reports for its 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 and 2007. The Company intends to complete the filing of all the required periodic reports.
Additional Information
The Company files reports and other materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These documents may be inspected and copied at the Commission’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. You can obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the Commission at 1-800-SEC-0330. You can also get copies of documents that the Company files with the Commission through the Commission’s Internet site at www.sec.gov.
| ITEM 2. | DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY |
The company has not leased property since we closed our business operations in 2002. As stated above, the Company’s corporate office is currently located at 200 South Michigan, 21st Floor, Chicago, IL 60604.
These facilities are the offices of Brewer Investment Group who our Chairman of the Board, Hagop Bouroudjian, is a Principal of. Although Capital Markets Technologies, Inc. (CMT) has no written agreement and currently pays no rent for the use of these facilities, it is contemplated that in the near future we will be seeking appropriate office space in Chicago to conduct our operations. Upon completion of our proposed acquisition with Simplex Consulting, we will acquire their existing office space in London, England as well.
| ITEM 3. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
We are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our company’s or our company’s subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.

Capital Markets Technologies, Inc.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Capital Markets Technologies, Inc. (development stage company) at December 31, 2002 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the period June 29, 1995 (date of inception) to December 31, 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. 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 over all financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Capital Markets Technologies, Inc. at December 31, 2002 and the related statements of operations, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the period June 29, 1995 (date of inception) to December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company will need additional working capital for its planned activity and to service its debt, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in the notes to the financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

CAPITAL MARKETS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2002
1. ORGANIZATION
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on June 29, 1995 with the name “RLN Realty Associates, Inc.” with authorized common shares of 7,500 with a par value of $1.00. The Company had several name changes and authorized common share changes and on September 14, 2006 changed its name to “Fintech Group, Inc.” and changed its authorized common shares to 250,000,000 at a par value of $.001 and added authorized preferred shares of 10,000,000 at par value of $.001. The terms of the preferred shares have not been determined. On February 7, 2007 the name was changed to “Capital Markets Technologies, Inc.”
The principal business activity of the corporation was the development of an e-commerce web site and an e-commerce virtual department store. During 2001 the activity was discontinued and its remaining assets and related liabilities were transferred and the Company has remained inactive since that date.
The Company is a development stage company.
After 2001 the Company has been engaged in seeking viable business opportunities.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Methods
The Company recognizes income and expenses based on the accrual method of accounting.
Dividend Policy
The Company has not adopted a policy regarding payment of dividends.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect, when the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recognized, when it is more likely than not, that such tax benefits will not be realized.
On December 31, 2002, the Company did not have a net operating loss available for carry forward.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments are considered by management to be their estimated fair values due to their short term maturities.
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of shares actually outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share amounts are computed using the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding as if shares had been issued on the exercise of any common share rights unless the exercise becomes antidilutive and then only the basic per share amounts are shown in the report.
Concentration of Credit Risk
There are no financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risks.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue will be recognized on the sale and delivery of a product or the completion of services provided.
Advertising and Market Development
The company expenses advertising and market development costs as incurred.
Estimates and Assumptions
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were assumed in preparing these financial statements.
Other Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not expect that the adoption of other recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.

3. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE
The Statute of Limitations has run on a substantial part of the accounts payable.
4. CAPITAL STOCK
During 2001 the Company issued 2,548 post split restricted common shares for cash of $2,217,388 and 173 for expenses of $132,000.
On November 2, 2005 the Company completed a reverse common stock split of one share for 500 outstanding shares. This report has been prepared showing post split shares from inception.
5. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
Officers-directors have not acquired any shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock, however, control parties have acquired 30,000,000 shares during 2006.
6. GOING CONCERN
The Company does not have the necessary working capital to service its debt and for its planned activity, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining additional working capital and the management of the Company has developed a strategy, which it believes will accomplish this objective through settlement of its debt by the issuance of common shares, loans from related parties, and equity funding which will enable the Company to conduct operations for the coming year.

| ITEM 8. | CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE |
We retained Madsen & Associates, CPA’s Inc. as our independent accountants to audit our financial statements effective as of November 5, 2006. Subsequent to that date, in connection with their audits of our financial statements, there were no disagreements with the predecessor auditor, Rachlin Cohen & Holtz, LLP, on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope and procedures.
| ITEM 8A. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, Pasquale Ceci and Hagop Bouroudjian, acting as our principal executive officers evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), as of December 31, 2006. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officers concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and adequately designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and form and that such information was accumulated and communicated to our executive officers in a manner that allowed for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
During the last fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2007, there has been no change in internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Transactions with Management and Others
During the two years ended December 31, 2002 there have been no material transactions or series of similar transactions to which the Company were or are to be a party, in which the amount involved exceeds $50,000 and in which any promoter, founder, director or executive officer, or any security holder who known to us to own of record or beneficially more than five percent of our common stock, or any member of the immediate family of any other foregoing persons, had a material interest, and none is presently proposed, other than as follows:
The company has not leased property since we closed our business operations in 2002. As stated above, since 2006 the Company’s corporate office is currently located at 200 South Michigan, 21st Floor, Chicago, IL 60604.
These facilities are the offices of Brewer Investment Group (Brewer) who our Chairman of the Board, Hagop Bouroudjian, is a Principal and Edward Arana, a Director of CMT, who is the Chief Financial Officer of Brewer. Although Capital Markets Technologies, Inc. (CMT) has no written agreement and currently pays no rent for the use of these facilities, it is contemplated that in the near future we will be seeking appropriate office space in Chicago to conduct our operations. Upon completion of our proposed acquisition with Simplex Consulting, we will acquire their existing office space in London, England as well.
