FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MAXIMUM AWARDS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 AND 2005 (UNAUDITED) CONTENTS Report of Independent Registered Public Accountant 1 Consolidated Interim Balance Sheets 2 Consolidated Interim Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss 3 Consolidated Interim Statements of Cash Flows 4 Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements 5 - 20 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Maximum Awards, Inc. and Subsidiaries We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated interim balance sheets of Maximum Awards, Inc. (a Nevada corporation) and subsidiaries, as of September 30, 2006 and the consolidated interim statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated interim statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. These consolidated interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of consolidated financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated interim balance sheet of Maximum Awards, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated interim statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for each of the two years in the year ended December 31, 2005 [not presented herein], and in our report dated March 31, 2006 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived. The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has experienced operating losses since inception, has raised minimal capital and has no long-term contracts related to its business plan. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Toronto, Canada CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS November 20, 2006 1

AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements September 30, 2006 and 2005 (Unaudited) 1. Operations and Business Maximum Awards, Inc., formerly known as Rising Fortune Incorporated (the "Company"), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 7, 1995. The Company was inactive between 1996 and 2000. In 2000, the Company entered into an agreement to distribute product, however, the agreement never materialized, and the Company continued to remain inactive until November 18, 2003. On November 19, 2003, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name to Maximum Awards, Inc. On December 9, 2003, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Agreement") with Maximum Awards (Pty) Ltd., ("Subsidiary") an Australian corporation operating a consumer rewards program, whereby the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Subsidiary in exchange for 22,000,000 common shares and 1,000,000 Series "A" preferred shares of the Company in a reverse merger transaction. The Series "A" preferred shares are non-participating, but each share is entitled to 50 votes in a general meeting. In addition, the Company issued 2,200,000 common shares as a finder's fee for assistance in the acquisition of the Subsidiary. As a result of the Agreement, the principal shareholder of the Subsidiary controls 96% of the Company. While the Company is the legal parent, as a result of the reverse takeover, the Subsidiary became the parent company for accounting purposes. On June 1, 2004, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding share capital of both Global Business Group Australia (Pty) Ltd. ("Global Business") and Travel Easy Holidays (Pty) Ltd. ("Travel Easy") from the directors of the respective companies for $1.00. Global Business and Travel Easy are controlled by the same shareholder who controls the Company and the Subsidiary. This transfer of equity interests between common controlled entities is accounted for as a recapitalization of the Company with the net assets of the Subsidiary and the Company brought forward at their historical basis. The Company operates a consumer rewards points program known as Maximum Awards ("Maximum Awards"). Under this program, consumers earn points by purchasing products and services from a range of products and services offered by the Company's subsidiaries, Global Business and Travel Easy, or program partners. Accumulated points then can be redeemed to acquire additional desired products or services from the same list of such items offered by the Company's subsidiaries. Global Business, maintains a catalogue of available goods and services which a member can purchase or acquire through the redemption of points. Travel Easy is a licensed travel agency which services the public and also allows members to purchase travel services or redeem points for airline tickets or travel packages. 5 MAXIMUM AWARDS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements September 30, 2006 and 2005 (Unaudited) 2. Going Concern The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has sustained operating losses since inception, has raised minimal capital and has no long-term contracts related to its business plan. The Company's continuation as a going concern is uncertain and dependant on successfully bringing its services to market, achieving future profitable operations and obtaining additional sources of financing to sustain its operations. Although the Company plans to pursue additional financing there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure financing when needed or obtain such on terms satisfactory to the Company, if at all. In the event the Company cannot obtain the necessary funds, it will be necessary to delay, curtail or cancel the further development of its products and services. Though the business plan indicates profitable operation in the coming year, these profits are contingent upon the completing and fulfillment of contracts with various providers of goods and services throughout the world to provide the Company with a cashflow to sustain operations. The consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern. 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies a) Basis of Financial Statement Presentation These consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, under the accrual method of accounting, with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. b) Consolidated Interim Financial Statement The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 6 MAXIMUM AWARDS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements September 30, 2006 and 2005 (Unaudited) 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd) c) Basis of Consolidation The reverse merger of the Company and its Subsidiary has been recorded as the recapitalization of the Company, with the net assets of the Subsidiary and the Company brought forward at their historical basis. The intention of the management of the Subsidiary was to acquire the Company as a shell company to be listed on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board. Management did not intend to pursue the business of the Company, as such, accounting for the merger as the recapitalization of the Company was deemed appropriate. As mentioned in Note 1, these consolidated interim financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of Global Business and Travel Easy. The weighted average and total number of shares outstanding have been retroactively restated for each period to reflect the number of shares issued to shareholders of the Subsidiary at acquisition. d) Unit of Measurement The United States dollar is being used as the unit of measurement in the accompanying financial statements. e) Use of Estimates In preparing the Company's consolidated interim financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated interim financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. f) Inventory Inventory consists of goods purchased for resale. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. 7 MAXIMUM AWARDS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements September 30, 2006 and 2005 (Unaudited) 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd) g) Revenue Recognition Consumer Reward Points Program The Company recognizes commission income from a participating vendor when the participating vendor commits to purchasing points from the Company and collectibility is reasonably assured. Travel Agency The Company earns commission revenues from ticket sales and reports this revenue in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 99-19, "Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent". The Company is an agent and not the primary obligor, and accordingly the amounts earned are determined using a fixed percentage, a fixed-payment schedule, or a combination of the two. Online Shopping The Company recognizes revenue from product sales or services rendered when the following four revenue recognition criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Additionally, revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables are divided into separate units of accounting if the deliverables in the arrangement meets the following criteria: (1) the delivered item has value to the customer on a standalone basis; (2) there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of undelivered items; and (3) delivery of any undelivered item is probable. Product sales, net of promotional discounts, rebates, and return allowances, are recorded when the products are shipped and title passes to customers. Retail items sold to customers are made pursuant to a sales contract that provides for transfer of both title and risk of loss upon the Company's delivery to the carrier. The return policy allows customers to exchange product within 7 days. 8 MAXIMUM AWARDS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements September 30, 2006 and 2005 (Unaudited) 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd) g) Revenue Recognition (cont'd) Online Shopping (cont'd) The Company periodically provides incentive offers to its customers to encourage purchases. Such offers include current discount offers (such as percentage discounts off current purchases), inducement offers (such as offers for future discounts subject to a minimum current purchase) and other similar offers. Current discount offers, when accepted by the customers, are treated as a reduction to the purchase price of the related transaction, while inducement offers, when accepted by the customers, are treated as a reduction to purchase price based on estimated future redemption rates. Redemption rates are estimated using the Company's historical experience for similar inducement offers. Current discount offers and inducement offers are presented as a net amount in revenues. Outbound shipping charges to customers are included in revenues. h) Foreign Currency Translation The Company accounts for foreign currency translation pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation". The Company's functional currency is the Australian dollar. All assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate at the end of the period. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates prevailing throughout the periods. Translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive income (loss) for the periods. i) Fair Value of Financial Instruments The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by the Company using available market information and valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required in estimating fair value. Accordingly, the estimates may not be indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. As of September 30, 2006, the carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable and advances from directors approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. j) Equipment, net Equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation, based on the estimated useful lives of the assets, is provided using the undernoted annual rates and methods: Furniture and equipment 20% Declining balance Computer software 20% Declining balance 9 MAXIMUM AWARDS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements September 30, 2006 and 2005 (Unaudited) 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd) k) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets In accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", long-lived assets to be held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If there are indications of impairment, the Company uses future undiscounted cash flows of the related asset or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded asset values, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value of asset less cost to sell. As described in Note 2 the long-lived assets have been valued on a going concern basis, however, substantial doubt exists as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. If the Company ceases operations, the asset values may be materially impaired. l) Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of the assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is recorded for the amount of income tax payable or refundable for the period increased or decreased by the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period. m) Share-Based Payments In accordance with SFAS No. 123R "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS No. 123R"), the Company enters into transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments. The value of these transactions are measured and accounted for, based on the fair value of the equity instrument issued or the value of the services, whichever is more reliably measurable. The services are expensed in the periods during which the services are rendered. 10 MAXIMUM AWARDS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements September 30, 2006 and 2005 (Unaudited) 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd) n) Earnings (Loss) per Common Share The Company calculates net earnings (loss) per share based on SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. o) Comprehensive Income (Loss) The Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS No. 130"). SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and presentation of comprehensive income (loss) and its components in a full set of financial statements. Comprehensive income (loss) is presented in the consolidated interim statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and stockholders' deficit, and consists of net earnings (loss) and unrealized gains (losses) on available for sale marketable securities; foreign currency translation adjustments and changes in market value of future contracts that qualify as a hedge; and negative equity adjustments recognized in accordance with SFAS 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions". SFAS No. 130 requires only additional disclosures in the financial statements and does not affect the Company's financial position or results of operations. p) Concentration of Credit Risk SFAS No. 105, "Disclosure of Information about Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Concentration of Credit Risk," requires disclosure of any significant off-balance-sheet risk and credit risk concentration. The Company does not have significant off-balance-sheet risk or credit concentration. The Company maintains cash with major Australian financial institutions. The Company provides credit to its clients in the normal course of its operations. It carries out, on a continuing basis, credit checks on its clients and maintains provisions for contingent credit losses which, once they materialize, are consistent with management's forecasts. For other debts, the Company determines, on a continuing basis, the probable losses and sets up a provision for losses based on the estimated realizable value. Concentration of credit risk arises when a group of clients having a similar characteristic such that their ability to meet their obligations is expected to be affected similarly by changes in economic conditions. The Company does not have any significant risk with respect to a single client. q) Segment Reporting SFAS No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" establishes standards for the manner in which public enterprises report segment information about operating segments. 11 MAXIMUM AWARDS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements September 30, 2006 and 2005 (Unaudited) 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd) q) Segment Reporting (cont'd) The Company has determined that its operations primarily involve three reportable segments based on the companies being consolidated: Maximum Awards - a consumer rewards program; Travel Easy - a travel agency; and Global Business - an online shopping business. r) Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments--an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140" ("SFAS No. 155"). This Statement permits fair value of remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation; clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"; establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation; clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives; and amended SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued, or subject to a remeasurement (new basis) event occurring after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company is currently reviewing the effect, if any, the proposed guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2006, FASB issued Statement 156, "Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, which amends FAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" ("SFAS No. 156"). In a significant change to current guidance, the SFAS No. 156 permits an entity to choose either of the following subsequent measurement methods for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities: (1) Amortization Method or (2) Fair Value Measurement Method. SFAS No. 156 is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company is currently reviewing the effect, if any, the proposed guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. In June 2006 FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes." FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises' financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributable for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transitions. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently reviewing the effect, if any, the proposed guidance will have on its consolidated financial position. 12 MAXIMUM AWARDS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements September 30, 2006 and 2005 (Unaudited) 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd) r) Recent Accounting Pronouncements (cont'd) In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements". This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurement, FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. This statement does not require any new fair value measurements, however, for some entities, the application of the statement will change current practice. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November, 15 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently reviewing the effect, if any, the proposed guidance will have on its financial statements. In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (Topic 1N), "Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements" ("SAB No. 108"). SAB No. 108 addresses how the effect of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires SEC registrants (i) to quantify misstatements using a combined approach which considers both the balance sheet and income statement approaches; (ii) to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors; and (iii) to adjust their financial statements if the new combined approach results in a conclusion that an error is material. SAB No. 108 addresses the mechanics of correcting misstatements that include effects from prior years. It indicates that the current year correction of a material error that includes prior year effects may result in the need to correct prior year financial statements even if the misstatement in the prior year or years is considered immaterial. Any prior year financial statements found to be materially misstated in years subsequent to the issuance of SAB No. 108 would be restated in accordance with FAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections." Because the combined approach represents a change in practice, the SEC staff will not require registrants that followed an acceptable approach in the past to restate prior years' historical financials statements. Rather, these registrants can report the cumulative effect of adopting the new approach as an adjustment to the current year's beginning balance of retained earnings. If the new approach is adopted in a quarter other than the first quarter, financial statements for prior interim periods within the year of adoption may need to be restated. SAB No. 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006, which for the Company would be its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2007. The implementation of SAB No. 108 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations and financial condition. 13

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont'd) r) Recent Accounting Pronouncements (cont'd) In September 2006, the FASB issued FAS No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)". This statement improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multi-employer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets for a not-for-profit organization. This statement also improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position. 4. Consumer Reward Points Program The Company operates a consumer rewards program, as described in Note 1, whereby, consumers earn points by purchasing goods and services with various vendors, whom are registered with the program. When a consumer purchases a good or service, the vendor remits a cash amount for the amount of points earned by the consumer to the Company. The Company no longer maintains an escrow account for funds collected. 5.

Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109"). This standard prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax asset and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates. Under SFAS No. 109 income taxes are recognized for the following: a) amount of tax payable for the current year, and b) deferred tax liabilities and assets for future tax consequences of events that have been recognized differently in the financial statements than for tax purposes. The Company's current income taxes are as follows: Nine Months Nine Months Ended Ended Sept. 30, Sept. 30, 2006 2005 Current tax provision: Expected income tax recovery at statutory tax rate of 34% $(232,000) $(161,388) Australian income taxes 6,037 -- Valuation allowance 232,000 161,388 --------- --------- Current income tax provision $ 6,037 $ -- ========= ========= Deferred tax provision: The Company has deferred income tax assets as follows: Sept. 30, Dec. 31, 2006 2005 Deferred income tax assets $ 601,000 $ 186,320 Valuation allowance (601,000) (186,320) --------- --------- $ -- $ -- ========= =========

Income Taxes (cont'd) As of September 30, 2006, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards for income tax reporting purposes of approximately $1,875,000 available to offset future taxable income indefinitely. Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership or a change in the nature of the business occurs, therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements, because the Company believes there is a 50% or greater chance the carry forwards will expire unused. Accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the loss carry forwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount. 12. Commitments and Contingencies The Company is committed to a premises lease obligation expiring in December 2006. Future minimum payments (exclusive of taxes, insurance and maintenance costs) under these leases are $7,251. The Company entered into a consulting agreement with a consultant, who is also the spouse of a shareholder of the company holding the convertible note payable referred to in note 6, for a period of six months starting from August 1, 2006. The Company will pay a monthly fee of $15,000. The consultant may opt, in lieu of cash, to receive payment of the fees into the company's common shares at a conversion price of $0.10 per share or market price which ever is lower. 13.

Subsequent Events During October 2006, the Company reduced its number of authorized common shares from 500,000,000 shares to 33,333,333 shares in a 15:1 reverse stock split. The issued outstanding common shares were reduced from 32,451,900 to 2,163,460, with an amended par value of $0.015 per common share. The conditions of the preferred shares, Series "A" were amended so that the special voting rights attached to each share was reduced by a ratio of 15:1 so that the preferred shares, Series "A" were reduced from 50 to 3.33 votes in a general meeting for each share held. On November 17, 2006, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with a shareholder of the Company. The terms of the agreement provide for an annual fee of $150,000 payable in advance to the consultant. As part of the consulting agreement, the consultant has the option to convert the fee, together with any current outstanding fees due and payable ($81,000 as at November 17, 2006), into common stock at the prevailing market price at the time of the conversion, less a discount of 50%. 15. Comparative Information Certain of the prior period balances have been reclassified to conform with the current period's consolidated financial statement presentation. 20 ITEM 2. MANAGAMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS The company was incorporated on March 7, 1995 under the name Rising Fortune Incorporated. On December 9, 2003, the company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Maximum Awards Pty Ltd., an Australian company engaged in the business of operating a consumer rewards program known as Maximum Awards. Under the Maximum Awards program, consumers earn points by purchasing products and services offered by the company and its program partners. Accumulated points then can be redeemed in order to acquire additional desired products or services from the same list of such items offered by the company. The company operates its program in Australia and has done so since October 2002. In anticipation of this transaction the company's articles of incorporation were amended on November 19, 2003 to change the name of the company to Maximum Awards, Inc. The acquisition of Maximum Awards Pty Ltd resulted in a change of control of the company and was accounted for as a recapitalization of Maximum Awards Pty Limited. The business of Maximum Awards Pty Ltd is now the business of the company. On June 1, 2004, the company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Travel Easy Holidays Pty Ltd ("Travel Easy") and Global Business Group Pty Ltd ("Global Business"). These corporations are involved in the travel industry and mail order industries and were acquired to add to the company's rewards program operations by providing an in-house travel agency and a consumer products retailer. Travel Easy is an Australian proprietary limited corporation. Travel Easy was organized under the law of the Province of Queensland, Australia on July 19, 2002. Travel Easy is engaged in the business of providing travel agent services and its operations are located in the company's offices in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Prior June 1, 2004, Travel Easy was owned by Maxwell Thomas, the company's chief executive officer, and Michael Sullivan, a director of the company. Mr. Thomas owned 60% of Travel Easy and Mr. Sullivan owned 40%. Under terms of the acquisition agreement between the company and Mr. Thomas, the company acquired Travel Easy for $1.00 Australian. Travel Easy now is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company. Global Business also is an Australian proprietary limited corporation. Global Business was organized under the law of the Province of Queensland, Australia in June 2003. Global Business does business under the name Easy Shopper Direct and is engaged in the business of selling consumer goods on-line and through published catalogs and its operations are located in the company's offices in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Prior to June 1, 2004, Global Business was owned by Maxwell Thomas, the company's chief executive officer, and Michael Sullivan, a director of the company. Mr. Thomas owned 60% of Global Business and Mr. Sullivan owned 40%. Under terms of the acquisition agreement between the company and Mr. Thomas, the company acquired Global Business for $1.00 Australian. Global Business now is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company. Because both Travel Easy and Global Business were acquisitions under common control, the financial statements have been prepared by including the accounts of both Travel Easy and Global Business and have been accounted as a business combination with the net assets of Maximum Awards (Pty) Ltd. and the Company brought forward at their historical basis. . The financial statements, including the comparatives, reflect the accounts of Maximum Awards, Travel Easy and Global Business. 21 Results for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased by $17,843 from $57,973 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 to $75,816 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The increase was due to an increase in travel income of $15,880 and an increase in online shopping of $3,887 offset by a decrease in reward program income of $1,924. The increase in travel and online shopping income was a result of an increase in credit card sales under the to HSBC and the Commonwealth Bank of Australia contracts. The decrease in awards income was a result of limited advertising and promotion during the quarter. Cost of sales decreased from 53.1% of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2005 to 20.6% of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Gross profit increased by $33,011 from $27,162 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 to $60,173 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The improved gross profit was mainly due to an improvement in travel commission income which has limited cost of sales expense, and has resulted in an improved gross margin. Overhead costs for the quarter increased by $94,456 from $242,328 for the quarter September 30, 2005 to $336,784 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. General and administration costs increased by $40,494 due to the use of contract consultants, legal and professional fees reduced by $54,742 due to company filing costs, advertising costs increased by $16,060 due to bank contract advertising, salaries increased by $93,536 due to a new COO and additional directors salaries and premises costs reduced by $1,800 due to rent reduction. Amortization increased by $908. Interest expense increased by $11,259 from $637 for the quarter ended September 2005 to $11,896 for the quarter ended September 2006. The increase was due to an increase in notes payable. We incurred a net loss of $294,544 or $(0.01) per share based on 32,451,900 weighted average shares outstanding for the quarter ended September 30 2006 compared to a loss of $215,803 or $(0.01) per share based on 26,311,000 weighted average shares outstanding for the quarter ended September 30,2005. Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased by $162,356 from $197,752 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $360,108 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The increase was due to a increase in travel income of $121,128, an increase in online shopping income of $47,836 and a decrease in reward program income of $6,608. The increase in travel and online shopper income was a result of the introduction of the HSBC and CBA cardholder contracts, while the reduction in rewards income was a result in reduced promotion activity due to financial limitations. Cost of sales reduced from 43.7% of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to 33.6% of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Gross profit increased by $127,917 from $111,169 to $239,086 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $121,022 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The improved gross margin was due to an increase in travel commissions which has a lower cost of sales component. Overhead costs for the nine months increased by $317,759 from $583,737 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $901,496 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. General and administration costs increased by $124,225 mainly due to travel expense developing the European market, Legal and professional fees reduced by $49,902 due to company filing costs incurred in the previous year, advertising costs increased by $45,769 due to bank sales contracts, salaries increased by $204,580 mainly due to a new COO and directors salaries increase, while premises costs reduced by $8,758 due to rent reduction. Depreciation increased by $1,845 due to fixed assets additions. 22 Interest expense increased by $15,965 due to an increase in notes payable. We incurred a net loss of $686,189 or $(0.01) per share based on 32,402,000 weighted average shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to a loss of $474,345 or $(0.01) per share based on 25,717,000 weighted average shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30,2005. Through the nine months ended September 30, 2006 we have relied on advances of approximately $395,812 from our principal note holders, trade payables of approximately $239,671, proceeds of $80,000 from the sale of common stock to support our operations. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had approximately $38,973 of its own cash and cash equivalents. We plan to seek additional equity or debt financing of up to $3 million which we plan to use to use for working capital and to implement a marketing program to increase awareness of our business and to expand our operations into the US market. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESERVES The Company has operated its loyalty and rewards program in Australia since October 2002 and intends to expand its program and operate it in Europe in 2006. The company anticipates that this expansion will be funded principally through the issuance of equity or debt securities or by entering into other financial arrangements, including relationships with corporate and other partners, in order to raise additional capital. Depending upon market conditions, the company may not be successful in raising sufficient additional capital for it to achieve its business objectives. In such event, the business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. Initial expenses for the company will include acquiring a suitable travel agency, leasing suitable facilities in Europe; purchasing or leasing sufficient operating equipment, primarily computers and phone systems; hiring sufficient staff for the company's European operations; and, producing sufficient promotional materials. There is no guarantee that the company will be successful in expanding its operations to non-Australian markets or that if it does that its marketing and sales endeavors outside Australia will be successful. The company's operation in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia currently employs approximately 7 people. While the operations in Australia have been successful in attracting premium banking institutions as client, its has failed to achieve profitability. The Company is currently evaluating the feasibility of maintaining its Australian operations. If the Company is successful in raising capital, the company plans to enter the more lucrative and growing European market in 2007, using the same technology and format as that used in Australia. The Company plans to set up an office and call center in the United Kingdom, and plans to duplicate the structure already in place in Australia. Initial expenses for the European operations will include acquiring a travel agency in the United Kingdom,; purchasing or leasing sufficient operating equipment, primarily computers and phone systems; hiring sufficient staff for the Company's European operations; and producing sufficient promotional materials. The Company has budgeted to spend $1.0 million dollars in developing the European market. In order to meet its cash requirements for the next twelve months, the Company plans to raise capital through private placements and through working capital generated from operations. 23 There is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in its attempt to raise capital sufficient to meet its cash requirements for the next twelve months. If the company is not successful in its effort to raise sufficient capital to meet its cash requirements, or if the note holders choose not to support the Company, the business will fail and the company will cease to do business. The note holder in the amount of $384, 811 listed in note 6 of the financials statements has indicated that they will no longer be providing additional cash to the Company. The Company anticipates that this note holder will demand repayment of the note when it becomes due on January 31, 2007. The Company is looking at various options to resolve this issue. If the Company is unable to repay the note when due, then the note holder will be able to attach the Company's assets under the provisions of the note. There is substantial uncertainty regarding the Company's ability to raise sufficient funds to settle the note. Item 3. Controls and Procedures. (a) Disclosure controls and procedures . Within 90 days before filing this report, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are the controls and other procedures that it designed to ensure that it records, processes, summarizes and reports in a timely manner the information it must disclose in reports that it files with or submits to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Maxwell Thomas, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Michael Sullivan, its Director, supervised and participated in this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, Messrs. Thomas and Sullivan concluded that, as of the date of their evaluation, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective. (b) Internal controls. Since the date of the evaluation described above, there have not been any significant changes in the Company's internal accounting controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls.
