PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Back to Table of Contents
General Background of the Registrant
Sheffield Pharmaceutical, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was incorporated under Canadian law in October 1986. In May 1992, the Registrant was domesticated to Wyoming pursuant to a continuance procedure under Wyoming law. In January 1995, the Registrant's shareholders approved the proposal to reincorporate the Registrant in Delaware, which reincorporation was effected on June 13, 1995.
Prior to filing for bankruptcy in June 2003, the Registrant was a development stage company and, as such, had been principally engaged in research, development and licensing efforts. The Company generated minimal operating revenue, sustained significant net operating losses, and required additional capital that the Company obtained through out-licensing of rights to its technology, as well as through equity and debt offerings. The Registrant provided pharmaceutical therapies by combining pulmonary drug delivery technologies with existing and emerging therapeutic agents and had developed a range of products to treat respiratory and systemic diseases. Sheffield believed these pulmonary delivery technologies would allow it to capitalize on the growing drug delivery market by providing both advanced respiratory treatments and patient-friendly alternatives for therapies that could have been administered only by injection or other inconvenient means.
By mid 2003, the Registrant had failed to reach profitability and was undercapitalized to implement its business plan. The Company's inability to meet its obligations as they became due and to continue to operate its business as a going concern resulted in the Companys decision to seek relief under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.
On June 6, 2003, the Registrant filed a voluntary Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court Western District of New York (case no. 03-22303). As a result of the Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition, the Registrant's assets were transferred to a United States Trustee and the Registrant terminated its business operations. During 2003 and 2004, the Bankruptcy Trustee had disposed of substantially all of the assets of the Registrant and its subsidiaries. On June 7, 2005, the Trustee in proceedings under Chapter 7, filed a notice of motion for the sale of the Company's corporate entity and 70,000,000 restricted shares of the Registrant's unissued common stock. On July 6, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court approved an order authorizing a change in control and confirming that Glenin Bay Equity, LLC is a good faith purchaser pursuant to 11 USC Section 363(m). The Court order further provided that the Company, subsequent to the bankruptcy proceeding, is free and clear of all liens, claims and interests of others and that the sale was free and clear of any and all other real or personal property interests, including any interests in the former subsidiaries of Sheffield.
Change in Control following Bankruptcy
The material terms of the transaction confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court authorized Glenin Bay Equity, LLC. to receive 70,000,000 restricted shares of common stock and to appoint new members to the Registrant's board of directors. On July 8, 2005, Glenin Bay Equity, LLC. appointed Michael F. Manion to the board of directors of the Registrant, which board subsequently appointed Mr. Manion to be chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Registrant (the "Management").
New Business Objectives of the Registrant
As a result of the Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding, the Registrant has no present operations. Management determined to direct its efforts and limited resources to pursue potential new business opportunities. The Registrant does not intend to limit itself to a particular industry and has not established any particular criteria upon which it shall consider and proceed with a business opportunity.
Our common stock previously traded on the American Stock Exchange and subsequently on the NASDAQ OTCBB under the symbol SFFP. In 2003, due to the Registrant's failure to file periodic and annual reports, the Registrant's shares were deleted from the NASDAQ OTCBB market, following which the Registrant's common stock has been subject to quotation on the pink sheets. There is currently only a limited trading market in the Registrant's shares. There can be no assurance that there will be an active trading market for our common stock. In the event that an active trading market commences, there can be no assurance as to the market price of our shares of common stock, whether any trading market will provide liquidity to investors, or whether any trading market will be sustained.
Management intends to devote such time as it deems necessary to carry out the Registrant's affairs. The exact length of time required for the pursuit of any new potential business opportunities is uncertain. No assurance can be made that we will be successful in our efforts. We cannot project the amount of time that our Management will actually devote to the Registrant's plan of operation.
Plan of Operation
We have no present operations or revenues and our current activities are related to seeking new business opportunities, including seeking an acquisition or merger with an operating company. If our board of directors seeks to acquire another business or pursue a new business opportunity, Management would have substantial flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective business. Registrant would not be obligated nor does Management intend to seek pre-approval from our shareholders. Under the laws of the State of Delaware, the consent of holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares, acting without a shareholders meeting, can approve an acquisition.
The Registrant is entirely dependent on the judgment of Management in connection with pursuing a new business opportunity or a selection process for a target operating company. In evaluating a prospective new business opportunity or an operating company, we would consider, among other factors, the following: (i) costs associated with effecting a transaction; (ii) equity interest in and opportunity to control the prospective candidate; (iii) growth potential of the target business; (iv) experience and skill of management and availability of additional personnel; (v) necessary capital requirements; (vi) the prospective candidate's competitive position; (vii) stage of development of the business opportunity; (viii) the market acceptance of the business, its products or services; (ix) the availability of audited financial statements of the potential business opportunity; and (x) the regulatory environment that may be applicable to any prospective business opportunity.
The foregoing criteria are not intended to be exhaustive and there may be other criteria that Management may deem relevant. In connection with an evaluation of a prospective or potential business opportunity, Management may be expected to conduct a due diligence review.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We will use our limited personnel and financial resources in connection with seeking new business opportunities, including seeking an acquisition or merger with an operating company. It may be expected that entering into a new business opportunity or business combination will involve the issuance of a substantial number of restricted shares of common stock. If such additional restricted shares of common stock are issued, our shareholders will experience a dilution in their ownership interest in the Registrant. If a substantial number of restricted shares are issued in connection with a business combination, a change in control may be expected to occur.
In connection with our plan to seek new business opportunities and/or effecting a business combination, we may determine to seek to raise funds from the sale of restricted stock or debt securities.We have no agreements to issue any debt or equity securities and cannot predict whether equity or debt financing will become available at terms acceptable to us, if at all.
There are no limitations in our articles of incorporation on our ability to borrow funds or raise funds through the issuance of restricted common stock to effect a business combination. Our limited resources and lack of operating history may make it difficult to do borrow funds or raise capital. Our inability to borrow funds or raise funds through the issuance of restricted common stock required to effect or facilitate a business combination may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and future prospects, including the ability to complete a business combination. To the extent that debt financing ultimately proves to be available, any borrowing will subject us to various risks traditionally associated with indebtedness, including the risks of interest rate fluctuations and insufficiency of cash flow to pay principal and interest, including debt of an acquired business.
Selection and Structuring of a New Business Opportunity
New Management owns 70% of the total issued and outstanding voting shares. As a result, Management may have substantial flexibility in identifying and selecting a prospective new business opportunity. The Registrant will be dependent on the judgment of its Management in connection with the selection of a new business opportunity. In evaluating a prospective business opportunity, we would consider, among other factors, the following: (i) costs associated with pursuing a new business opportunity; (ii) growth potential of the potential new business opportunity; (iii) experiences, skills and availability of additional personnel necessary to pursue a potential new business opportunity; (iv) necessary capital requirements; (v) the competitive position of the new business opportunity; (vi) stage of business development; (vii) the market acceptance of the potential products and services; (viii) proprietary features and degree of intellectual property; and (ix) the regulatory environment that may be applicable to any prospective business opportunity.
The foregoing criteria are not intended to be exhaustive and there may be other criteria that Management may deem relevant. In connection with an evaluation of a potential business opportunity, Management may be expected to conduct a due diligence review and may seek assistance of independent third parties.
The time and costs required to select and evaluate a potential new business opportunity, including conducting a due diligence review, and to structure a plan to pursue a potential new business opportunity cannot presently be ascertained. Management will devote such time as it deems reasonably necessary to carry out plans for potential new business opportunities. As a result, the time devoted to the Registrant's business may vary depending upon whether we have identified a new potential business opportunity and decided to pursue it.
Conflicts of Interest
Our Management is not required to commit its full time to our affairs. As a result, pursuing new business opportunities may require a greater period of time than if Management would devote their full time to our affairs. Management is not precluded from serving as officers or directors of any other entity that is engaged in business activities similar to those of the Registrant. Management has not identified and is not currently negotiating a new business opportunity for us. In the future, Management may become associated or affiliated with entities engaged in business activities similar to those we intend to conduct. In such event, Management may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. In the event that our Management has multiple business affiliations, it may have legal obligations to present certain business opportunities to multiple entities. In the event that a conflict of interest shall arise, Management will consider factors such as reporting status, availability of audited financial statements, current capitalization and the laws of applicable jurisdictions. If several business opportunities or operating entities approach Management with respect to a business combination, Management will consider the foregoing factors as well as the preferences of the Management of the operating company. However, Management will act in what it believes will be in the best interests of the shareholders of the Registrant. The Registrant shall not enter into a transaction with a target business that is affiliated with Management.
Business Experience of Management
Michael F. Manion, our sole officer and director, had experience in negotiating transactions involving several different private operating companies. In connection with or upon completion of such transactions, Mr. Manion resigned his Management position. The following table sets forth business transactions Management was involved during the last five years.

RISK FACTORS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This annual report on Form 10-KSB contains forward-looking statements that are based on
current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about us, our future
performance, our beliefs and our Management's assumptions. In addition, other written or
oral statements that constitute forward-looking statements may be made by us or on our
behalf. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "targets,"
"goals," "projects," "intends," "plans,"
"believes," "seeks," "estimates," variations of such words
and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These
statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks,
uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict or assess. Therefore, actual
outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in such
forward-looking statements. Except as required under the federal securities laws and the
rules and regulations of the SEC, we do not have any intention or obligation to update
publicly any forward-looking statements after the filing of this Form 10-KSB, whether as a
result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions or otherwise.
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
The Registrant is dependent upon the continued services of its Management. To the
extent that their services become unavailable, the Registrant will be required to obtain
other qualified personnel and there can be no assurance, given its limited resources, that
it will be able to recruit and hire qualified persons upon acceptable terms.
LIMITED RESOURCES; NO PRESENT SOURCE OF
REVENUES
At present, we have no business operations and our business activities are limited to
seeking potential business opportunities. Due to our limited financial and personnel
resources, there is only a limited basis upon which to evaluate our prospects for
achieving our intended business objectives. We have only limited resources and have no
operating income, revenues or cash flow from operations. Our Management is providing us
with limited funding, on an as needed basis, necessary for us to continue our
corporate existence and our business objective to seek new business opportunities, as well
as funding the costs of remaining a reporting company under the Exchange Act. We have no
written agreement with our Management to provide any interim financing for any period. In
addition, we will not generate any revenues unless and until we enter into a new
business or acquire an entity that generates revenues, of which there can be no assurance.
There can be no assurance that any business that we may acquire will generate any material
revenues or operate on a profitable basis.
BROAD DISCRETION OF MANAGEMENT
Any person who invests in our securities will do so without an opportunity to evaluate the
specific merits or risks of any potential new prospective business in which we may engage.
As a result, investors will be entirely dependent on the broad discretion and judgment of
Management in connection with the selection of a prospective business. There can be no
assurance that determinations made by our Management will permit us to achieve our
business objectives.
ABSENCE OF SUBSTANTIVE DISCLOSURE RELATING TO PROSPECTIVE BUSINESS
As of the date of filing of this annual report, we have not yet identified any prospective
business or industry in which we may seek to become involved and at present we have no
substantive information concerning any prospective business. There can be no assurance
that any prospective business combination will benefit shareholders or prove to be more
favorable to shareholders than any other investment that may be made by shareholders and
investors.
THERE IS NO ACTIVE MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK AND NONE MAY DEVELOP OR BE
SUSTAINED
Our common stock previously traded on the NASDAQ OTCBB under the symbol SFFP. In 2003, the
Registrant did not remain current in its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act and
its shares subsequently ceased trading on the NASDAQ OTCBB market. Following deletion from
the OTCBB, the Registrant's common stock has been subject to quotation on the pink sheets.
There is currently only a limited trading market in our common stock. There can be no
assurance that there will be an active trading market for our common stock following a
business combination or commencement of a new business. In the event that an active
trading market commences, there can be no assurance as to the market price of our shares
of common stock, whether any trading market will provide liquidity to investors, or
whether any trading market will be sustained.
UNSPECIFIED INDUSTRY FOR NEW PROSPECTIVE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES;
UNASCERTAINABLE RISKS
There is no basis for shareholders to evaluate the possible merits or risks of potential
new business opportunities or the particular industry in which we may ultimately operate.
To the extent that we effect a business combination with an entity that is financially
unstable or is in its early stage of development or growth, including entities without
established records of revenues or income, we will become subject to numerous risks
inherent in the business and operations of that company. In addition, to the extent that
we effect a business combination with an entity in an industry characterized by a high
degree of risk, we will become subject to the currently unascertainable risks of that
industry. An extremely high level of risk frequently characterizes certain industries that
experience rapid growth. Although Management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent
in a particular new prospective business or industry, there can be no assurance that we
will properly ascertain or assess all such risks or that subsequent events may not alter
the risks that we perceive at the time of the consummation of any new business
opportunity.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Our Management is not required to commit its full time to our affairs. There may be a
conflict of interest in allocating their time in the event that Management engages in
similar business efforts for other entities. Our Management will devote such time, in its
sole discretion, to conduct our business, including the evaluation of potential new
business opportunities and the negotiation and consummation of a business combination. As
a result, the amount of time devoted to our business and affairs may vary significantly
depending upon whether we have identified a new prospective business opportunity or are
engaged in active negotiations related to the consummation of a business combination.
COMPETITION
We expect to encounter intense competition from other entities seeking to pursue new
business opportunities or business combinations. Many of these entities are
well-established and have extensive experience in connection with identifying new
prospective business opportunities or in effecting business combinations. Many of these
competitors possess greater financial, technical, human and other resources than we do and
there can be no assurance that we will have the ability to compete successfully. Based
upon our limited financial and personnel resources, we may lack the resources as compared
to those of many of our potential competitors.
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS MAY DELAY OR PRECLUDE ACQUISITION.
Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 of the Exchange Act, we are required to provide
certain information about significant acquisitions and other material events. We will
continue to be required to file quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB and annual reports on
Form 10-KSB, which annual report must contain our audited financial statements. As a
reporting company under the Exchange Act, following any business combination, we will be
required to file a report on Form 8-K or other form appropriate under the Exchange Act,
which contains audited financial statements of the acquired entity. These audited
financial statements must be filed with the SEC within 71 days following the filing of
Form 8-K disclosing the transaction. While obtaining audited financial statements is
typically the economic responsibility of the acquired company, it is possible that a
potential target company may be a non-reporting company with unaudited financial
statements. The additional time and costs that may be incurred by some potential target
companies to prepare such audited financial statements may significantly delay or may even
preclude consummation of an otherwise desirable transaction. Acquisition prospects that do
not have or are unable to obtain the required audited statements may not be appropriate
for acquisition because we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.
ADDITIONAL FINANCING REQUIREMENTS
We have no revenues and are dependent upon the willingness of our Management to fund the
costs associated with our reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, and
other administrative costs associated with our corporate existence. As of the date of
this filing, the Registrant has paid a total of $57,500 for general and administrative expenses, including accounting
fees and reinstatement fees. We may not generate any revenues until the consummation of a
business combination or our commencement of new business operations. We anticipate that we
will have available to us sufficient resources to continue to pay accounting and other
professional fees and other miscellaneous expenses that may be required until we commence
business operations or enter into a business combination. In the event that available
resources from our Management prove to be insufficient for the purpose of commencing
operations through a business combination or otherwise, we will be required to seek
additional financing. Our failure to secure additional financing could have a material
adverse affect on our ability to commence a new business or pursue a business combination.
We do not have any arrangements with any bank or financial institution to secure
additional financing and there can be no assurance that any such arrangement would be
available on terms acceptable and in our best interests. We do not have any written
agreement with Management to provide funds for our operating expenses.
STATE BLUE SKY REGISTRATION; POTENTIAL LIMITATIONS ON RESALE OF THE
SECURITIES
The holders of our shares of common stock registered under the Exchange Act and those
persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market should be aware that there may
be state blue-sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to resell our securities.
Accordingly, investors should consider the secondary market for the Registrant's
securities to be a limited one.
It is the intention of the Registrant's management following the consummation of a business or business combination to seek coverage and publication of information regarding the Registrant in an accepted publication manual which permits a manual exemption. The manual exemption permits a security to be distributed in a particular state without being registered if the Registrant issuing the security has a listing for that security in a securities manual recognized by the state. However, it is not enough for the security to be listed in a recognized manual. The listing entry must contain (1) the names of Registrant's, officers, and directors, (2) Registrant's balance sheet, and (3) a profit and loss statement for either the fiscal year preceding the balance sheet or for the most recent fiscal year of operations. Furthermore, the manual exemption is a nonissuer exemption restricted to secondary trading transactions, making it unavailable for issuers selling newly issued securities.
Most of the accepted manuals are those published in Standard and Poor's, Moody's Investor Service, Fitch's Investment Service, and Best's Insurance Reports, and many states expressly recognize these manuals. A smaller number of states declare that they "recognize securities manuals" but do not specify the recognized manuals. The following states do not have any provisions and therefore do not expressly recognize the manual exemption: Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Montana, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont and Wisconsin.
DIVIDENDS UNLIKELY
We do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future because we have no revenues
or any potential business operations. The payment of dividends will be contingent upon our
future revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and overall financial
conditions. The payment of any future dividends will be within the discretion of our board
of directors as then constituted. It is our expectation that future management, following
a business combination, will determine to retain any earnings for use in business
operations and accordingly, we do not anticipate declaring any dividends in the
foreseeable future.
POSSIBLE ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SECURITIES
Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, authorize the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of
common stock, par value $0.01. As of December 31, 2003, we had 29,563,712 shares of common
stock issued and outstanding. We may issue additional shares of common stock or preferred
stock in connection with our intention to pursue new business opportunities or enter into
a business combination. To the extent that additional shares of common stock are issued,
our shareholders would experience dilution of their respective ownership interests in the
Registrant. If we issue shares of common stock in connection with our intent to pursue new
business opportunities, a change in control of the Registrant may occur. The issuance of
additional shares of common stock and convertible preferred stock may adversely affect
the market price of our common stock, in the event that an active trading market
commences, of which there can be no assurance.
COMPLIANCE WITH PENNY STOCK RULES
Our common stock will be considered a "penny stock" as defined in the
Exchange Act and the rules thereunder, unless the price of our shares of common stock is
at least $5.00. We expect that our share price will be less than $5.00. Unless our common
stock is otherwise excluded from the definition of "penny stock," the penny
stock rules apply. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer prior to a transaction in
penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure
document prepared by the SEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature
and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the
customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of
the broker-dealer and its sales person in the transaction, and monthly account statements
showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition,
the penny stock rules require that the broker-dealer, not otherwise exempt from such
rules, must make a special written determination that the penny stock is suitable for the
purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These
disclosure rules have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the
secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. So long as the
common stock is subject to the penny stock rules, it may become more difficult to sell
such securities. Such requirements could result in reduction in the level of trading
activity for our common stock and could make it more difficult for investors to sell our
common stock.
GENERAL ECONOMIC RISKS
The Registrant's current and future business plans are dependent, in large part, on the
state of the general economy. Adverse changes in economic conditions may may adversely
affect our plan of operation. These conditions and other factors beyond the Registrant's
control include, but are not limited to regulatory changes.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES Back to Table of Contents
The Registrant's corporate office is located at 1220 Glenmore Drive, Apopka, FL 32712, which space is provided to us on a rent-free basis by management. These facilities consist of approximately 300 square feet of office space. The Registrant believes that the office facilities are sufficient for the foreseeable future and this arrangement will remain in effect until we find a new business opportunity or consummate a business combination.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDING Back to Table of Contents
The Registrant's officers and directors are not aware of any threatened or pending litigation to which the Registrant is a party or which any of its property is the subject and which would have any material, adverse effect on the Registrant. The Registrant, prior to its bankruptcy proceeding, was subject to several claims. As a result of the confirmed order of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court dated July 6, 2005 pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Registrant is free of all liens, claims and interests of others.ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITIES HOLDERS
Back to Table of ContentsDuring the year ended December 31, 2003, no matters were submitted to a vote of our security holders.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTER Back to Table of Contents
(a) Market Price Information
During 2003, the Registrant's
common stock was subject to quotation on the OTCBB under the symbol SFFP. In connection
with the Registrant filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition on June 6, 2003 and subsequent
delinquency in its reporting requirements, its common stock became subject to quotation on
the pink sheets. To the best knowledge of the Registrant, there has been only a limited
trading market for our common stock for approximately the past two years. The following
table shows the high and low bid prices for the Registrant's common stock during the
fiscal years 2003 and 2002 as reported by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated.
These prices reflect inter-dealer quotations without adjustments for retail markup,
markdown or commission, and do not necessarily represent actual transactions.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATION Back to Table of Contents
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use of words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe," and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. From time to time, we also may provide forward-looking statements in other materials that we release to the public.
Overview
Our current activities are related to seeking a new business opportunity or business
combination. We will use our limited personnel and financial resources in connection with
such activities. It may be expected that entering into a new business opportunity or
business combination will involve the issuance of restricted shares of our common stock.
During the third quarter of 2003, we discontinued our former business operations in connection with our filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition. As of the date of this filing and subsequently to emerging from bankruptcy, the Registrant has paid a total of $57,500 for general and administrative expenses, including accounting fees and reinstatement fees. While we are dependent upon interim funding provided by Management to pay professional fees and expenses, we have no written finance agreement with Management to provide any continued funding.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2003, we had no assets and had no liabilities. As part of our intent to seek new business opportunities and/or in effecting a business combination, we may determine to seek to raise funds from the sale of equity or debt securities.We have no agreements to issue any debt or equity securities and cannot predict whether equity or debt financing will become available at terms acceptable to us, if at all.
We anticipate that in connection with the commencement of a new business opportunity or consummation of a business combination, we will issue a substantial number of additional restricted shares or other securities. If such additional securities are issued, our shareholders will experience a dilution in their ownership interest in the Company. If a substantial number of shares are issued in connection with a business combination, a change in control may be expected to occur.
There are no limitations in our articles of incorporation on our ability to borrow funds or raise funds through the issuance of restricted common stock to effect a business combination. Our limited resources and lack of operating history may make it difficult to do borrow funds or raise capital. Our inability to borrow funds or raise funds through the issuance of restricted common stock that may be required to effect or facilitate a business combination may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and future prospects, including the ability to complete a business combination. To the extent that debt financing ultimately proves to be available, any borrowing will subject us to various risks traditionally associated with indebtedness, including the risks of interest rate fluctuations and insufficiency of cash flow to pay principal and interest, including debt of an acquired business.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM Back to Table of Contents
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Uromed Corporation
I have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Sheffield Pharmaceuticals, Inc. as of December 31, 2003 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders deficiency and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit. The financial statements of Sheffield Pharmaceuticals, Inc. as of December 31, 2002 were audited by other auditors whose report dated April 4, 2003 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
I conducted my audit in accordance with auditing standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. Those standards require that I 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. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sheffield Pharmaceuticals, Inc. as of December 31, 2003 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America..
The Company adopted "fresh-start" accounting as of June 7, 2003. The impact of this is more fully described in note 1 of the financial statements.

SHEFFIELD PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES Back to
Table of Contents
December 31, 2003
The Company
Sheffield Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company"), was incorporated in 1986 and changed its domicile to Delaware on June 13, 1995. Prior to filing for bankruptcy under chapter 7, Sheffield marketed a portfolio of products utilized for treatment of pulmonary and respiratory diseases.
Bankruptcy Proceedings: On June 6, 2003, the Company filed a voluntary Chapter 7 petition under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of New York (case no. 03-22303). As a result of the filing, all of our properties were transferred to a United States Trustee and we terminated all of our business operations. The Bankruptcy Trustee has disposed of substantially all of the assets. On July 6, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court approved an Order confirming the sale of debtor's equity interest to Glenin Bay Equity, LLC.
Basis of Presentation: We adopted "fresh-start" accounting as of June 7, 2003 in accordance with procedures specified by AICPA Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code. The results of the discontinued component have been reclassified from continuing operations to discontinued operations. The reclassification reduced sales for the period ended December 31, 2003 by $75,000 and related expenses by $1,245,000.
The accounts of the former subsidiaries were not included in the bankruptcy sale and have not been carried forward.
Significant Accounting Policies
Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: For financial statement presentation purposes, the Company considers those short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash or cash equivalents.
Property and Equipment New property and equipment are recorded at cost. Property and equipment included in the bankruptcy proceedings and transferred to the Trustee had been valued at liquidation value. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally 5 years. Expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized. Expenditures for minor items, repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. Gain or loss upon sale or retirement due to obsolescence is reflected in the operating results in the period the event takes place.
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets: We review the recoverability of our long-lived assets including equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets, when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on our ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected future pre-tax cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value. Our primary measure of fair value is based on discounted cash flows. The measurement of impairment requires management to make estimates of these cash flows related to long-lived assets, as well as other fair value determinations.
Stock Based Compensation: Stock-based awards to non-employees are accounted for using the fair value method in accordance with SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and EITF Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services.
We account for stock-based awards to employees using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25 and FIN No. 44. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, we have chosen to continue to account for our employee stock-based compensation plans under APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the expanded disclosures specified in SFAS No. 123.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments. Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of July 10, 2005. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values.
These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short-term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are receivable or payable on demand.
Earnings per Common Share: Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of options to purchase common stock (only if those options are exercisable and at prices below the average share price for the period) and shares issuable upon the conversion of our Preferred Stock. Due to the net losses reported, dilutive common equivalent shares were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share, as inclusion would be anti-dilutive for the periods presented.
There were no common equivalent shares required to be added to the basic weighted average shares outstanding to arrive at diluted weighted average shares outstanding in 2003 or 2002.
Income Taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," ("SFAS 109") which requires recognition of estimated income taxes payable or refundable on income tax returns for the current year and for the estimated future tax effect attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards. Measurement of deferred income tax is based on enacted tax laws including tax rates, with the measurement of deferred income tax assets being reduced by available tax benefits not expected to be realized.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2003, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity" ("SFAS 150"). SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both debt and equity and requires an issuer to classify the following instruments as liabilities in its balance sheet:
In November 2003, FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 150-3 ("FSS 150-3") which deferred the effective dates for applying certain provisions of SFAS 150 related to mandatory redeemable financial instruments of certain non-public entities and certain mandatory redeemable non-controlling interests for public and non-public companies. For public entities, SFAS 150 is effective for mandatory redeemable financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and is effective for all other financial instruments as of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. For mandatory redeemable non-controlling interests that would not have to be classified as liabilities by a subsidiary under the exception in paragraph 9 of SFAS 150, but would be classified as liabilities by the parent, the classification and measurement provisions of SFAS 150 are deferred indefinitely. The measurement provisions of SFAS 150 are also deferred indefinitely for other mandatory redeemable non-controlling interests that were issued before November 4, 2003. For those instruments, the measurement guidance for redeemable shares and non-controlling interests in other literature shall apply during the deferral period. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 150 effective June 30, 2003 and such adoption did not have a material impact on its financial statements.
In December 2003, the FASB released a revised version of Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" ("FIN 46") called FIN 46R, which clarifies certain aspects of FIN 46 and provides certain entities with exemptions from requirements of FIN 46. FIN 46R only slightly modified the variable interest model from that contained in FIN 46 and did change guidance in many other areas. We adopted FIN 46 during 2003. FIN 46R was adopted and implemented in the first quarter of fiscal 2004 and had no impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
SHEFFIELD PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2003
1. "Fresh Start" Accounting:
On June 6, 2003 all assets were transferred to the chapter 7 trustee in settlement of all outstanding corporate obligations. We adopted "fresh-start" accounting as of June 7, 2003in accordance with procedures specified by AICPA Statement of Position ("SOP") No. 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code."
All results for periods subsequent to June 6, 2003 are referred to as those of the "Successor Company". The results of operations and cash flows as presented on the 2003 financial statements reflect the predecessor company. The successor company had no transactions between June 6 and the end of the reporting period, December 31, 2003.
In accordance with SOP No. 90-7, the reorganized value of the Company was allocated to the Company's assets based on procedures specified by SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations". Each liability existing at the plan sale date, other than deferred taxes, was stated at the present value of the amounts to be paid at appropriate market rates. It was determined that the Company's reorganization value computed immediately before June 7, 2003 was $0. We adopted "fresh-start" accounting because holders of existing voting shares immediately before filing and confirmation of the sale received less than 50% of the voting shares of the emerging entity and its reorganization value is less than its post-petition liabilities and allowed claims.
2. Bankruptcy Proceedings:
On June 6, 2003, the Registrant filed a voluntary Chapter 7 petition under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court Western District of New York (case no. 03-22303). On July 6, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court approved an Order confirming the sale of the public shell to Glenin Bay Equity, LLC. The transaction confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court authorized Glenin Bay Equity, LLC. to receive 70,000,000 shares of common stock or 70.3% of common shares outstanding.
Resultant Change in Control: In connection with the Order confirming the sale of debtor's interest to Glenin Bay Equity, LLC. approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court Western District of New York on July 6, 2005, the Court authorized a change in control pursuant to which Michael F. Manion will become our new director. The new board of directors appointed Michael F. Manion as chief executive officer and chief financial officer on July 8, 2005. The Court order further provided that the sale was free and clear of liens, claims and interests of others and that the sale was free and clear of any and all other real or personal property interests, including any interests in Sheffields subsidiaries. The issuance of 70,000,000 shares of common stock along with a change in our board has resulted in a change in control.
3. Income Taxes:
Our net operating loss carryovers available to reduce future income taxes were reduced or eliminated through our bankruptcy proceedings. We have adopted SFAS 109 which provides for the recognition of a deferred tax asset based upon the value the loss carry-forwards will have to reduce future income taxes and management's estimate of the probability of the realization of these tax benefits.
Utilization of federal and state NOL and tax credit carry forwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of NOL and tax credit carry forwards before full utilization.

The Company is not a party to any leases and does not have any commitments
4. Stockholders' Equity:
Common Stock
On July 8, 2005, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Court Order dated July 6, 2005, we issued 70 million shares of common stock. All issued shares of common stock are entitled to vote on a 1 share/1 vote basis.
Preferred Stock
On July 8, 2005 the board of directors approved the cancellation of all pre-bankruptcy preferred shares and approved the cancellation and extinguishment of all common and preferred share conversion rights of any kind, including without limitation, warrants, options, convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock of every series and accompanying conversion rights of any kind.
Stock Based Compensation
Stock based compensation is accounted for by using the intrinsic value based method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). The Company has adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, ("SFAS 123") which allows companies to either continue to account for stock based compensation to employees under APB 25, or adopt a fair value based method of accounting. The Company has elected to continue to account for stock based compensation to employees under APB 25. APB 25 recognizes compensation expense for options granted to employees only when the market price of the stock exceeds the grant exercise price at the date of the grant. The amount reflected as compensation expense is measured as the difference between the exercise price and the market value at the date of the grant.
There are no employee or non-employee options granted.
