NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF ORGANIZATION
Aventura Holdings, Inc. (“Aventura”, “we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”) is a publicly held Fort Lauderdale, Florida based Company that through its subsidiaries and incremental acquisitions launched aggressive research and development activities in the video surveillance and internet broadcast markets.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company’s past recurring losses from operations, net income (loss) of $40,070 and ($36,989) for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 and net cash used in operations of $ 2,245 and $13,297 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007; shareholder’s equity of $130,727 and an accumulated deficit of $ 1,122,696 at March 31, 2008, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible effects on recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from our inability to continue as a going concern.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the ability to further implement our business plan, raise capital, and generate revenues. We presently do not have sufficient revenues to cover our incurred expenses. Our management recognizes that we must generate additional resources to enable us to pay our obligations as they come due, and that we must ultimately successfully implement our business plan and achieve profitable operations. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in any of these activities. Should any of these events not occur, our financial condition will be materially adversely affected.
The time required for us to become profitable from operations is highly uncertain, and we cannot assure you that we will achieve or sustain operating profitability or generate sufficient cash flow to meet our planned capital expenditures, working capital and debt service requirements. If required, our ability to obtain additional financing from other sources also depends on many factors beyond our control, including the state of the capital markets and the prospects for our business. The necessary additional financing may not be available to us or may be available only on terms that would result in further dilution to the current owners of our common stock.
We cannot assure that we will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or obtain additional financing to meet our obligations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible effects on recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities, which may result from the inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Management’s Plans
Through research, development and incremental acquisitions of intellectual property and companies within our industry, the Company plans to unveil and sell video surveillance and internet broadcasting software integrated into our products.
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Interim reporting
While the information presented in the accompanying interim three months financial statements is unaudited, it includes all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of their application as the December 31, 2007 annual financial statements of Aventura Holdings, Inc. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2007’s annual financial statements.
7
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Minority Interest
On May 16, 2006, October 1, 2006 and September 24, 2007 the Company acquired a controlling interest in and consolidated Ohio Funding Group, Inc. into the Company’s financial statements by virtue of our 30%, 30% and 39.2% respective investments in Ohio’s outstanding common stock. After initially accounting for investments in Ohio Funding utilizing the equity method of accounting, the Company retroactively restated its investment on a consolidated basis subtracting the minority interest in net assets and net income from the consolidated balance sheet and income statement. On November 6, 2007 Ohio ceased operating as a subsidiary of the Company and Ohio’s activity is portrayed in the financial statements as discontinued operations.
NOTE 4 - INVESTMENTS
Investments in securities of unaffiliated issuers represent holdings of less than 5% of the issuer’s voting common stock. Investments in and advances to affiliates are presented as (i) majority-owned, if holdings, directly or indirectly, represent over 50% of the issuer’s voting common stock, (ii) minority-owned other controlled affiliates if the holdings, directly or indirectly, represent over 25% and up to 50% of the issuer’s voting common stock and (iii) minority-owned other non-controlled affiliates if the holdings, directly or indirectly, represent 5% to 25% of the issuer’s voting common stock. Investments—other than securities represent all investments other than in securities of the issuer.
Investments in securities or other than securities of privately held entities are initially recorded at their original cost as of the date the Company obtained an enforceable right to demand the securities or other investment purchased and incurred an enforceable obligation to pay the investment price.
For financial statement purposes, investments are recorded at their fair value. Currently, readily determinable fair values do not exist for our investments and the fair value of these investments is determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors who engaged independent valuation experts and ratified by the Company’s Board of Directors pursuant to a valuation policy and consistent valuation process. Due to the inherent uncertainty of these valuations, the estimates may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed and the differences may be material.
Realized gains (losses) from the sale of investments and unrealized gains (losses) from the valuation of investments are reflected in operations during the period incurred.
NOTE 5 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
As of May 14, 2008, the Company has one full-time employee under a five year employment agreement commencing May 16, 2006. The employment agreement calls for annual remuneration of $60,000, certain fringe benefits and expense reimbursement. The employee is not represented by a union and the Company believes the relationship with the employee is good.
NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY AND AFFILIATE TRANSACTIONS
The following disclosures comply with generally accepted accounting principles and the disclosure requirements under the Regulation S-X, Article 6, with regard to affiliate investments and transactions.
By virtue of our research and development activities, the Company licensed certain intellectual property to a related party in engage for past and current debt owed to that entity.
NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On May 13, 2008 the Company received the resignation of Board member Sean Josiah. Mr. Josiah has been an independent member of the Board since 2005 and cited personal reasons for his decision. The Company will begin a search to fill the vacancy.

NOTE 8 - INTERNAL CONTROL
Controls and Procedures
As required by SEC rules, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the period covered by this report. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
| Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation |
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

REVENUES
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $69,283 compared to revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 of $0.
OPERATING AND OTHER EXPENSES
Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $29,213 compared to operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 of $31,624.
Financing expenses were $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
As a result of these factors, we reported net income of $40,070 or $nil per share for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to a net (loss) of ($36,989) or ($.nil) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 2008, we had assets exceeding liabilities by $130,727 and an accumulated deficit of $1,122,696.
We have no material commitments for capital expenditures.
Net cash used in operations during the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $2,245 primarily relating to our $40,070 net income and $46,383 repayment of debt. In the comparable period of March 31, 2007, we had net cash used in operations of $13,297 primarily relating to our net loss of $36,989.
No cash was provided or used by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and no cash was provided or used by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
10
$1,500 was provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008 while $50,000 was provided for the three months ended March 31, 2007 by virtue of a note payable .
The Company relies upon outside entities to finance its operations and provide capital for lending activities. A tightening of capital markets can reduce or eliminate funding sources resulting in a decrease in our liquidity and an inability to generate revenues from new lending activities.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
There are no off balance sheet arrangements that have or 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 are material to investors.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of significant accounting policies is included in Note 3 to the unaudited financial statements included elsewhere in this Report. We believe that the application of these policies on a consistent basis enables us to provide useful and reliable financial information about our operating results and financial condition.
| Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
The Company does not currently engage in transactions in derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments. As of March 31, 2008, the Company’s financial instruments were not exposed to significant market risk due to interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange risk, commodity price risk or other relevant market risks, such as equity price risk.
However, as discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, the Company may also be subject to the following market risk:
Interest Rate Risk
Our anticipated operations are expected to be leveraged by and sensitive to interest rates. To the extent we may borrow funds to finance our operations at variable rates, we may become subject to risks arising from interest rate fluctuations. Our potential exposure to interest rate risk arises primarily from changes in prime lending rates of commercial banks, which are in turn impacted by the policies and practices of the United States Federal Reserve Board, among other things.
| Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
As required by SEC rules, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the period covered by this report. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

| Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
None
| Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
An investment in our common stock is highly speculative, involves a high degree of risk, and should be considered only by those persons who are able to bear the economic risk of their investment for an indefinite period. In addition to other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risks described below before investing in our publicly-traded securities. The risks described below are not the only ones facing us. Our business is also subject to the risks that affect many other companies, such as competition, technological obsolescence, labor relations, general economic conditions and geopolitical changes. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial also may impair our business operations and our liquidity.
This is a highly speculative investment.
Ownership of our common stock is extremely speculative and involves a high degree of economic risk, which may result in a complete loss of your investment. Only persons who have no need for liquidity and who are able to withstand a loss of all or substantially all of their investment should purchase our common stock.
We suffered a significant operating loss in 2007.
For the year ended December 31, 2007, our net loss was $178,847. Although we believe that we are now adequately capitalized to carry out our business plan (subject to the risks inherent in such plan), there can be no assurance that we have sufficient economic resources or that such resources will be available to us on terms and at times that are necessary or acceptable, if at all. There is no assurance that future revenues of the Company will ever be significant or that the Company’s operations will ever be profitable.
You will be diluted if we issue additional common stock, options to purchase common stock and/or debt or equity securities convertible into common stock.
On December 27, 2007, the Company acquired certain intellectual property from IPWebTV, Inc. (an unrelated Delaware corporation) to be integrated into products being developed for the Company’s subsidiary IPWebTV, Inc. (a Florida corporation). The purchase price was 500 shares of the Company’s previously unissued nonassessable convertible preferred stock. Each share of the convertible preferred stock can be exchanged for one million shares of the Company’s common stock.
Future offerings of debt securities, which would be senior to our common stock upon liquidation, or equity securities, which could dilute our existing stockholders and be senior to our common stock for the purposes of distributions, may have an adverse effect on the value of our common stock.
In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by making additional offerings of equity or debt securities, including medium-term notes, senior or subordinated notes and classes of preferred stock or common stock. Upon our liquidation, holders of our debt securities, if any, and shares of preferred stock, if any, and lenders with respect to other borrowings, if any, will receive a distribution of our available assets prior to the holders of our common stock. Additional equity offerings by us reduce the value of our common stock. Any preferred stock we may issue would have a preference on distributions that could limit our ability to make distributions to the holders of our common stock. Because our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings. Thus, our stockholders bear the risk of our future offerings reducing the market price of our common stock and diluting their stock holdings in the Company.

We may be subject to various industry-specific risks associated with our anticipated business operations.
Management has discretionary use of Company assets.
We continue to look for and investigate business opportunities that are consistent with our business plan, including further acquisitions. Management has broad discretion with respect to the acquisition of interests in companies that are consistent with our anticipated operations. Although management intends to apply any proceeds it may receive through the future issuance of stock or debt to acquire or operate suitable businesses, it will have broad discretion in allocating these funds. There can be no assurance that the management’s use or allocation of such proceeds will allow it to achieve its business objectives.
We operate in a competitive market for acquisition and investment opportunities.
We compete for acquisitions with a large number of companies and investment funds. Many of our competitors may have greater resources than we do. Increased competition makes it more difficult for us to make acquisitions or investments at attractive prices. As a result of this competition, sometimes we may be precluded from making otherwise attractive acquisitions or investments. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify, negotiate and consummate acquisitions of attractive companies in light of this competition.
Results may fluctuate and may not be indicative of future performance.
Our operating results may fluctuate and, therefore, you should not rely on current or historical period results to be indicative of our performance in future reporting periods. Factors that could cause operating results to fluctuate include, but are not limited to, variations in the costs of identifying, negotiating and consummating acquisitions of businesses consistent with our business plan; variations in and the timing of the recognition of net realized gains or losses and changes in unrealized appreciation or depreciation; the degree to which we encounter competition in our markets; and other general economic and operational circumstances.
Our common stock price may be volatile.
The trading price of our common stock may fluctuate substantially. The price of the common stock may be higher or lower than the price you pay for your shares, depending on many factors, some of which are beyond our control and may not be directly related to our operating performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
| • | price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market from time to time; |
| • | significant volatility in the market price and trading volume of securities of financial services companies; |
| • | volatility resulting from trading in derivative securities related to our common stock including puts, calls, long-term equity anticipation securities (“LEAPs”), or short trading positions; |
| • | actual or anticipated changes in our earnings or fluctuations in our operating results or changes in the expectations of securities analysts; |
| • | general economic conditions and trends; |
| • | loss of a major funding source; or |
| • | departures of key personnel. |
OTC Bulletin Board.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”). The OTCBB is an inter-dealer, over-the-counter market that provides significantly less liquidity than the NASDAQ Stock Market or national or regional exchanges. Securities traded on the OTCBB are typically thinly traded, highly volatile, have fewer markets and are not followed by analysts. The SEC’s order handling rules, which apply to NASDAQ-listed securities, do not apply to securities quoted on the OTCBB. Quotes for stocks included on the OTCBB are not listed in newspapers. Therefore, prices for securities traded solely on the OTCBB may be difficult to obtain and holders of our common stock may be unable to sell their shares at any price.

Penny Stock Rules.
Trading in our securities will be subject to the “penny stock” rules for the foreseeable future. The SEC 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 certain exceptions. These rules require that any broker-dealer who recommends our securities to persons other than prior customers and accredited investors must, prior to the sale, make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to execute the transaction. 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 with trading in the penny stock market. In addition, broker-dealers must disclose commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities they offer. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from recommending transactions in our securities, which could severely limit the liquidity of our common stock and consequently adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Changes in the law or regulations that govern us could have a material impact on us or our operations.
We are regulated by the SEC and impacted by regulations of certain state regulatory agencies and self-regulatory organizations. Any change in the law or regulations that govern our business could have a material impact on us or our operations. Laws and regulations may be changed from time to time, and the interpretations of the relevant laws and regulations also are subject to change, which may have a material effect on our operations.
No dividends.
Holders of our securities will only be entitled to dividends when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors. We do not expect to have a cash surplus available for dividends in the foreseeable future.
| Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds |
| A. | On December 27, 2007, the Company acquired certain intellectual property from IPWebTV, Inc. (an unrelated Delaware corporation) to be integrated into products being developed for the Company’s subsidiary IPWebTV, Inc. (a Florida corporation). The purchase price was 500 shares of the Company’s previously unissued nonassessable convertible preferred stock. Each share of the convertible preferred stock can be exchanged for one million shares of the Company’s common stock. This transaction involved non-publicly offered securities in a privately negotiated transaction with a sophisticated purchaser. As such, the Company is claiming an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. |
| Item 3. | Defaults Upon Senior Securities |
None.
| Item 4. | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders |
None.
| Item 5. | Other Information |
On May 13, 2008 the Company received the resignation of Board member Sean Josiah. Mr. Josiah has been an independent member of the Board since 2005 and cited personal reasons for his decision. The Company will begin a search to fill the vacancy.
