Z-II, INC.

PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

Disclosure Regarding Forward Looking Statements:

This report contains certain forward-looking statements and information relating to Z-II, Inc. (“we”, "Z-II" or the "Company") that are based on assumptions made by management and on information currently available. When used in this report, the words "anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "expect", "intend", "plan" and similar expressions, as they relate to the Company or its management, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect management's current view of the Company concerning future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including among many others: a general economic downturn; a downturn in the securities markets; federal or state laws or regulations having an adverse effect on the Company; and other risks and uncertainties including those identified in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10/A dated March 14, 2008. Should any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in this report as anticipated, estimated or expected.

Z-II, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 20, 2007. We were formed as a vehicle to pursue one or more business combination transactions, such as mergers or acquisitions (of assets or stock) of operating businesses and to date, have made continuous efforts to identify possible business combination transactions. We have, however, not entered into a letter of intent concerning any business combination transaction.

Based on our business activities, we are a “blank check” company. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) defines those companies as “any development stage company that is issuing a penny stock, within the meaning of Section 3(a)(51) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and that has no specific business plan or purpose, or has indicated that its business plan is to merge with an unidentified company or companies.” Under Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Company also qualifies as a “shell company,” because it has no or nominal assets (other than cash) and no or nominal operations. Many states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of securities of “blank check” companies in their respective jurisdictions. Management does not intend to undertake any efforts to cause a market to develop in our securities, either debt or equity, until we have successfully concluded a business combination transaction. We intend to comply with the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for so long as we are subject to those requirements.

We were organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire one or more operating companies or businesses whose owners are seeking liquidity and the potential for capital appreciation. Our principal business objective has been and will continue to be to achieve long-term growth potential through one or more combinations with operating companies or businesses rather than immediate, short-term earnings. We will not restrict our search for potential candidates to companies engaged in any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business.

The analysis of new business opportunities has and will be undertaken by or under the supervision of our officers and directors. We have unrestricted flexibility in seeking, analyzing and participating in potential business opportunities. In our efforts to analyze potential target companies or businesses, we will consider, among others, the following factors:

(i) Potential for growth, indicated by new technology, anticipated market expansion or new products;

(ii) Competitive position as compared to other firms of similar size and experience within the relevant industry segment as well as within the industry as a whole;

(iii) Strength and diversity of management, either in place or scheduled for recruitment;

3


(iv) Capital requirements and anticipated availability of required funds, to be provided by us or from operations, through the sale of additional securities, through joint ventures or similar arrangements or from other sources;

(v) The cost of participation by us as compared to the perceived tangible and intangible values;

(vi) The extent to which the business opportunities can be advanced;

(vii) The accessibility of required management expertise, personnel, raw materials, services, professional assistance and other required items; and

(viii) Other relevant factors that we identify.

In applying the foregoing criteria, no one of which will be controlling, management will attempt to analyze all factors and circumstances and make a determination based upon reasonable investigative measures and available data. Potentially available business opportunities may occur in many different industries, and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex. Due to our limited capital we may not discover or adequately evaluate adverse facts about any opportunity evaluated or, ultimately, any transaction consummated.

FORM OF ACQUISITION

The manner in which we participate in an opportunity will depend upon the nature of the opportunity, our respective needs and desires and the promoters of the opportunity, and our relative negotiating strength and that of such promoters.

It is likely that we will acquire our participation in a business opportunity through the issuance of our Class A Common Stock or other securities. Although the terms of any such transaction cannot be predicted, it should be noted that in certain circumstances the criteria for determining whether or not an acquisition is a so-called “tax free” reorganization under Section 368(a)(l) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), depends upon whether the owners of the acquired business own 80% or more of the voting stock of the surviving entity. If a transaction were structured to take advantage of these provisions rather than other “tax free” provisions provided under the Code, our then-existing stockholders would, in such circumstances retain 20% or less of the total issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity. Under other circumstances, depending upon the relative negotiating strength of the parties, our then-existing stockholders may retain substantially less than 20% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the surviving entity. This could result in substantial dilution to the equity of our then-existing stockholders.

If we were to pursue a “tax-free” reorganization as described above, our then-existing stockholders would not have control of a majority of our voting shares following a reorganization transaction. As part of such a transaction, all or a majority of our directors may resign and new directors may be appointed without any vote by our stockholders.

In the case of an acquisition of stock or assets not involving a statutory merger or consolidation directly involving us, the transaction may be accomplished upon the sole determination of management without any vote or approval by our stockholders. In the case of a statutory merger or consolidation directly involving us, it will likely be necessary to call a stockholders’ meeting and obtain the approval of the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares. The necessity to obtain such stockholder approval may result in delay and additional expense in the consummation of any proposed transaction and will also give rise to certain appraisal rights to dissenting stockholders. Most likely, management will seek to structure any such transaction so that no stockholder approval is required.

It is anticipated that the investigation of specific business opportunities and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and substantial costs for third party professionals, accountants, attorneys and others. If a decision is made not to participate in a specific business opportunity, the costs incurred in the related investigation would not be recoverable. Furthermore, even if an agreement is reached for the participation in a specific business opportunity, the failure to consummate that transaction may result in our loss of the related costs incurred.

4


We presently have no employees apart from the officers named in “Item 5 - Directors, Executive Officers and Control Persons,” included elsewhere herein. Our officers and directors are engaged in outside business activities and anticipate that they will devote very limited time to our business until a business opportunity has been identified. We expect no significant changes in the number of our employees other than such changes, if any, incident to a business combination transaction.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

The Company neither rents nor owns any properties. The Company currently has no policy with respect to investments or interests in real estate, real estate mortgages or securities of, or interests in, persons primarily engaged in real estate activities. The Company presently occupies office space provided by a relative of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company on a rent free basis.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

None.

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

None.
 
PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Our common stock is not registered under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, and, accordingly, there is no public trading market for our common stock. Further, no public trading market is expected to develop in the foreseeable future unless and until we complete a business combination transaction with an operating business and, thereafter, file a registration statement under the Securities Act. Therefore, outstanding shares of our common stock cannot be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred unless subsequently registered pursuant to, or exempt from registration under, the Securities Act and any other applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations. Shares of our common stock cannot be sold under the exemptions from registration provided by Rule 144 because we qualify as a “shell company” under the Securities Act. Compliance with the criteria for securing exemptions under federal securities laws and the securities laws of the various states is extremely complex, especially in respect of those exemptions affording flexibility and the elimination of trading restrictions in respect of securities received in exempt transactions and subsequently disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or state securities laws.

We have never paid dividends on our common stock and do not presently intend to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that we will reinvest any funds available for payment of dividends to further our business strategy.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND PLAN OF OPERATION

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Z-II's audited Financial Statements and related Notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. This section also contains forward-looking statements and is subject to the Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements in Part I of this report.

Plan of Operation

Z-II was incorporated as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire one or more operating companies or businesses whose owners are seeking liquidity and the potential for capital appreciation. The Company's principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond will be to achieve long-term growth potential through one or more combinations with one or more operating companies (individually, a "Target Company" and collectively, "Target Companies"). We do not intend to restrict our search for potential candidates to companies engaged in any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business. Investors in this offering will have an economic interest in the Company, however, they will not have any decision-making rights, including whether or not we should acquire a Target Company, as control of the Company will be in the hands of our founders.

5


We will seek to add value to a Target Company by providing leadership and management, contribute and help raise additional capital and establish such controls, procedures and practices as will allow the combined entity to realize its potential and maximize shareholder value.

The analysis of new business opportunities has and will be undertaken by or under the supervision of our officers and directors. We have wide flexibility in seeking, analyzing and participating in potential business opportunities. In our efforts to analyze potential Target Companies or businesses, we will consider, among others, the following factors:

(i)  potential for growth, indicated by new technology, anticipated market expansion or new products;

(ii)  competitive position as compared to other firms of similar size and experience within the relevant industry segment as well as within the industry as a whole;

(iii)  strength and diversity of management, either in place or scheduled for recruitment;

(iv)  capital requirements and anticipated availability of required funds, to be provided by us or from operations, through the sale of additional securities, through joint ventures or similar arrangements or from other sources;

(v)  the cost of participation by Z-II as compared to the perceived tangible and intangible values;

(vi)  the extent to which the business opportunities can be advanced;

(vii)  the accessibility of required management expertise, personnel, raw materials, services, professional assistance and other required items; and

(viii) other relevant factors that the Company may identify.

In applying the foregoing criteria, no one of which will be controlling, we will attempt to analyze all factors and circumstances and make a determination based upon reasonable investigative measures and available data. Potentially available business opportunities may occur in many different industries, and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complex. Due to the Company's limited capital it may not discover or adequately evaluate adverse facts about any opportunity evaluated or, ultimately, any transaction consummated.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 we participated in discussions with potential Target Companies but did not enter into any contract or memorandum of understanding with respect to a transaction.

The manner in which we participate in an opportunity will depend upon the nature of the opportunity, the Company's respective needs and desires and the promoters of the opportunity, and our relative negotiating strength and that of such promoters.

It is anticipated that the investigation of specific business opportunities and the negotiation, drafting and execution of relevant agreements, disclosure documents and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and substantial costs for third party professionals, accountants, attorneys and others. If a decision is made not to participate in a specific business opportunity, these costs theretofore incurred in the related investigation would not be recoverable. Furthermore, even if an agreement is reached for the participation in a specific business opportunity, the failure to consummate that transaction may result in the loss of the related costs incurred.

Based on our proposed business activities, Z-II is a “blank check” company. The SEC defines those companies as “any development stage company that is issuing a penny stock, within the meaning of Section 3(a)(51) of the Exchange Act, as amended, and that has no specific business plan or purpose, or has indicated that its business plan is to merge with an unidentified company or companies.” Under Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Act, the Company also qualifies as a “shell company,” because it has no or nominal assets (other than cash) and no or nominal operations. Many states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of securities of “blank check” companies in their respective jurisdictions. We may undertake efforts to cause a market to develop in the Company's securities and if so, we intend to comply with the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for so long as it is subject to those requirements.

Results of Operations

The Company was founded on March 20, 2007 and through June 30, 2007 had no operations or capital. We did however incur professional fees of $13,534 up to that date but we had no other expense or revenues. Currently, the Company earns revenue only from the investment of its cash and cash equivalent assets. We have no operating revenues.

Although we are a shell company with no business operations, the costs of regulatory compliance for companies registered with the SEC are significant. Virtually all of our expenditures were related the maintenance of our status as an S.E.C. registrant and the filing of Exchange Act reports.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 the Company had no operating revenues and incurred $69,586 in professional fees and administrative expenses, resulting in a loss from operations of $(69,586). The Company incurred interest expense of $62,106 which was offset partially by interest income of $47,036 resulting in net interest expense of $15,070. The Company paid $1,091 in Federal and State Income taxes during the year. Thus, the Company had a net loss for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 of $(85,747).

Currently, the Company earns revenue only from the investment of its cash and cash equivalent assets. It has no operating revenues.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2007 and for the period from March 20, 2007 (inception) through June 30, 2007, the Company had no assets or liabilities and no cash flows from any source. As of June 30, 2007, we had a working capital deficiency of $13,534.

As of June 30, 2008, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $21,223 and a working capital surplus of $719. During the year, the Company used $83,747 of cash for operations.

At June 30, 2008, the Company had no long-term debt other than the notes payable to Officers/Stockholders. The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements and has not entered into any transactions involving unconsolidated, limited purpose entities or commodity contracts. The sources of liquidity and capital resources are loans from stockholders and cash in banks.

On February 12, 2008 we repaid $1,050,000 to Further Lane Trust, LLC and $350,000 to Jack M. Rapport for an aggregate $1,400,000. The repayments on these loans were effectuated by a direct transfer of funds to The Birkhill Group, LLC, an entity controlled directly or indirectly by David M. McCarthy, Further Lane Trust, LLC and Jack M. Rapport.

On May 27, 2008 we repaid $375,000 to Further Lane Trust, LLC and $125,000 to Jack M. Rapport for an aggregate $500,000. The repayments of these loans were effectuated by a direct transfer of funds to The Birkhill Group, LLC, an entity controlled directly or indirectly by David M. McCarthy, Further Lane Trust, LLC and Jack M. Rapport. These repayments notwithstanding, during the next 12 months, despite anticipated costs related to the filing of Exchange Act reports, and consummating one or more business combination transactions, we believe we will be able to meet our funding requirements through use of funds in our treasury and additional amounts, as necessary, to be loaned by or invested in us by our stockholders, management or other investors.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Inflation

Inflation has not had a significant impact on our results of operations.

ZII, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2008

Note 1.  Organization and Basis of Presentation:

Z-II, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 20, 2007. Since inception it has been engaged in organizational efforts, securing initial financing and because the Company was formed as a vehicle to pursue one or more business combination transactions, such as mergers or acquisitions (of assets or stock) of operating businesses, in attempting to identify a possible business combination. While during the course of the year the Company has been in discussions with various operating companies with which to combine, it did not enter into any contract or memorandum of understanding with respect to a transaction

Based on its proposed business activities, Z-II is a “blank check” company. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) defines those companies as “any development stage company that is issuing a penny stock, within the meaning of Section 3 (a)(51) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and that has no specific business plan or purpose, or has indicated that its business plan is to merge with an unidentified company or companies.” Under SEC Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Company also qualifies as a “shell company,” because it has no or nominal assets (other than cash) and no or nominal operations. Many states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of securities of “blank check” companies in their respective jurisdictions. Management does not intend to undertake any efforts to cause a market to develop in the Company's securities, either debt or equity, until it has successfully concluded a business combination. The Company intends to comply with the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for so long as it is subject to those requirements.

The Company was organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire one or more operating companies or businesses whose owners are seeking liquidity and the potential for capital appreciation. Its principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through one or more combinations with operating businesses rather than immediate, short-term earnings. The Company will not restrict its search for potential candidates to companies engaged in any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business.

Liquidity

At June 30, 2008 the Company had $21,233 in cash and cash equivalents and total liabilities of $100,969 of which $20,969 was current and the balance, $80,000, consisted of long term notes payable. It had a working capital surplus of $719.

Until such time as it acquires an operating company, management believes its liquidity will provide sufficient working capital for its needs. If and when an operating company is acquired, the Company's liquidity needs will be re-evaluated and it may seek to supplement its primary capital, as necessary, with one or more lines of credit or other debt accommodations with one or more financial institutions or lenders. At June 30, 2008, other than loans from its founders (see Note 5) the Company had no such lines of credit or other outstanding debt obligations.

Note 2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Development Stage Entity Status

Currently, the Company earns revenue only from the investment of its cash and cash equivalent assets. It has no operating revenues.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America generally requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

13


If and when one or more operating companies is acquired, management will be required to make estimates and such estimates may include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition on fixed fee contracts, allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment of goodwill and intangibles, depreciation and amortization, the fair value of equity securities underlying stock-based compensation, the fair value of acquired assets, purchase price allocations and the realize-ability of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company's short-term financial instruments as of June 30, 2008 consisted of cash and cash equivalents, interest payable on notes payable to officers/stockholders and amounts due to officer/stockholder for expenses paid on behalf of the Company. The carrying amounts of all short-term financial instruments at June 30, 2008 were their actual values.

The Company's long-term financial instruments as of June 30, 2008 consisted of long term notes payable (see Note 5). The carrying amounts of all long-term financial instruments at June 30, 2008 were equivalent to the face amount of such instruments.

Revenue Recognition

Currently, the Company earns revenue only from the investment of its cash and cash equivalent assets. It has no operating revenues. For the period March 20, 2007 (inception) through June 30, 2008, the Company had no other revenues.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Income Taxes

The Company used the asset and liability method to calculate deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred taxes are recognized based on the differences between financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted income tax rates. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Loss Per Share

Basic (loss) per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the period.

Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, adjusted to reflect potentially dilutive securities. During the period from March 20, 2007 (Inception) to June 30, 2008, there were no potentially dilutive securities.

Note 3.  Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements:

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.” Diversity exists in practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises under FASB Statement No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises. This results in inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim liabilities. This Statement requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. This Statement requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. The accounting and disclosure requirements of the Statement will improve the quality of information provided to users of financial statements. The adoption of FASB 163 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.
 
14

 
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The current GAAP hierarchy, as set forth in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Statement on Auditing Standards No. 69, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, has been criticized because (1) it is directed to the auditor rather than the entity, (2) it is complex, and (3) it ranks FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts. The FASB believes that the GAAP hierarchy should be directed to entities because it is the entity (not its auditor) that is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. Accordingly, the FASB concluded that the GAAP hierarchy should reside in the accounting literature established by the FASB and is issuing this Statement to achieve that result. This Statement is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The adoption of FASB 162 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.  

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” Constituents have expressed concerns that the existing disclosure requirements in FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, do not provide adequate information about how derivative and hedging activities affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. This Statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The adoption of FASB 161 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.
 
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) simultaneously issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations (2007 Amendment),” and SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of ARB 51.” Both standards update United States guidance on accounting for “noncontrolling interests,” sometimes referred to as minority interests, which interests represent a portion of a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) have been working together to promote international convergence of accounting standards. Prior to promulgation of these new standards there were specific areas in accounting for business acquisitions in which conversion was not achieved. The objective of both standards is to improve the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in “business combinations” and consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards. In business combinations it is accomplished by establishing principles and requirements concerning how an “acquirer” recognizes and measures identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, as well as goodwill acquired in the combination or gain from a bargain purchase; and determines information to be disclosed to enable users to evaluate the nature and effects of business combinations. In consolidated financial statements the standards require: identification of ownership interests held in subsidiaries by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled and presented in consolidated financial position within equity (rather than “mezzanine” between liabilities and equity) separately from amounts attributed to the parent, with net income attributable to the parent and to the minority interest clearly identified and presented on the face of consolidated statements of income. The standards also provide guidance in situations where the parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary changes while the parent retains its controlling financial interest. The standard also provides guidance on recording a gain or loss based on fair value in situations involving deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Entities must provide sufficient disclosures that distinguish between interests of the parent and that of the noncontrolling interest. Both standards are effective for fiscal years and interims beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (that is January 1, 2009) for entities with calendar years. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The standards shall be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which initially applied, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No. 141R and No. 160 will have an impact on the Company's overall results of operations or financial position, unless the Company makes a business acquisition in which there is a noncontrolling interest.

Note 4.  Property and Equipment

As of June 30, 2008, the Company had no depreciable property and equipment.

Note 5.  Notes Payable to Officers/Stockholders

On August 2, 2007 the Company borrowed $1,980,000 from two stockholders in the amounts of $1,485,000 and $495,000, respectively. In connection with this borrowing, the Company issued notes representing unsecured obligations of the Company. The notes bear interest at 5 per cent per annum, payable quarterly beginning September 30, 2007, with principal due at maturity on December 31, 2012. On February 12, 2008, $1,050,000 was repaid to Further Lane Trust, LLC and $350,000 was repaid to Jack M. Rapport for an aggregate $1,400,000. The repayment of the loans was effectuated by a direct transfer of funds to The Birkhill Group, LLC, an entity substantially controlled directly or indirectly by David M. McCarthy, Further Lane Trust, LLC and Jack M. Rapport.

On May 27, 2008 the Company repaid $375,000 to Further Lane Trust, LLC and $125,000 to Jack M. Rapport for an aggregate $500,000. The repayments of these loans were effectuated by a direct transfer of funds to The Birkhill Group, LLC, an entity controlled directly or indirectly by David M. McCarthy, Further Lane Trust, LLC and Jack M. Rapport.

As of June 30, 2008 $4,969 of interest was due and payable on the two notes.

During the year ended June 30, 2008 and also for the period from inception (March 20, 2007) to June 30, 2008 the Company has incurred interest expense of $46,579 to Further Lane Trust, LLC and $15,526 to Jack M. Rapport.

Effective July 1, 2008, new notes were executed for the remaining balances aggregating $80,000. The new notes are substantially identical in terms to the original notes, except that they no longer bear interest.

Note 6.  Common Stock

The total number of shares of stock which the Corporation has authority to issue is 60,000,000 shares, divided into 45,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, 5,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share. The powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such preferences and/or rights are as described in the Company's Charter. In particular, Holders of Class B Common Stock have the right to convert their shares into Class A Common Stock. The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation also contains provision for the maintenance of the relative relationship between Class A and Class B holdings in the event of issuance of options or warrants, mergers or other such transactions. Holders of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to one (1) vote per share, while holders of Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to ten (10) votes per share. Transfers of Class B Common Stock are restricted to certain specified transferees.

On August 2, 2007 the Company issued 40,000 shares of Class B Common Stock to the two shareholders described in the preceding paragraph. The aggregate sum paid for these shares was $20,000 as shown in the following table.

At September 25, 2008, the 40,000 shares continue to be the only shares outstanding.

Note 7.  Employee Benefit Plans

As of June 30, 2008 the Company had no employee benefit plans.

16


Note 8.  Commitments and Contingencies

The Company may, from time to time, enter into agreements that contain indemnification provisions in the normal course of business for which the risks are considered nominal and impracticable to estimate. Historically, the Company has not incurred any significant costs related to performance under these indemnities.

Note 9.  Credit Risk

The only financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk are cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its excess cash in money-market instruments with institutions of high credit quality and therefore we believe we have minimal credit risk. However, these balances may, from time to time, exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage. Cash and cash equivalents held in one bank, JPMorgan Chase Bank, did not exceed federally insured limits at June 30, 2008.

Note 10.  Income Taxes

The Company incurred New York State and New York City income taxes of $1,091 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, as well as the period from inception (March 20, 2007) to June 30, 2008. As of June 30, 2008 no amounts have been accrued for taxes that will be payable on June 30, 2008 with the state and local returns due by the Company for the year ended June 30, 2008.

In accordance with FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, interest costs and penalties related to income taxes are classified as interest expense and general and administrative costs, respectively, in the Company's consolidated financial statements. For the period from March 20, 2007 (inception) to June 30, 2008, the Company did not recognize any interest or penalty expense related to income taxes. The Company is currently subject to a three year statue of limitations by major tax jurisdictions. The Company expects to file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, New York State and New York City.

The Company has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $99,000 which expire through 2028. The deferred tax asset arising from the loss carry forwards is approximately $39,000 and, because of the uncertainty of its realization, has been fully reserved against.

Note 11.  Other Comments

The Company presently occupies office space provided by a relative of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company on a rent free basis.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

None

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Section 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Z-II, Inc. carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2008.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover all failures of persons within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company’s periodic reports. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

This annual report does not include a report of management's assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rule of the Securities and Exchange Commission for newly public companies.

Code of Ethics

On June 26, 2008 at a special meeting of the Board of Directors the Company adopted a comprehensive Code of Ethics Policy that applies to all directors, officers and future employees of the Company. The Code is attached to this Report as Exhibit 14.

Corporate Governance

As the Company has no operations and only two, non-independent directors who are also the Company's only officers, no Audit, Compensation or Nominating Committees have been formed or are operational. At such time as the Company undertakes a business combination or becomes operational, the two Directors plan to add directors and officers as may be needed to effect proper governance under the provisions of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 and such rules as have been promulgated thereunder or are otherwise extant in the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, three Board of Directors meetings were held as discussed elsewhere in this filing.
 
SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
 
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the timely filing of reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Company’s directors, certain of its officers and persons who own more than ten percent (10%) of the Company’s common stock.
 
Based solely on its review of Forms 3 and 4 and amendments thereto furnished to the Company during its most recent fiscal year and Forms 5 and amendments there to furnished to it with respect to its most recent fiscal year, as well as any written representation received by the Company from the reporting person regarding no Form 5 filing being required, the Company believes that all filings under Section 16(a) for the fiscal year 2006 were timely made, except that:

19

 
·  
A Form 3 was filed by Mr. Rapport on April 14, 2008 with respect to shares of Class B Common Stock obtained on March 14, 2008.
 
·  
A Form 3 was filed by Mr. McCarthy on April 14, 2008 with respect to shares of Class B Common Stock obtained on March 14, 2008.
 
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Neither of the Company's officers or directors has received any cash remuneration since inception. They will not receive any remuneration until the consummation of a business combination transaction. No remuneration of any nature has been paid for or on account of services rendered by a director in such capacity. None of the officers and directors intends to devote more than a few hours a week to the Company's affairs.

It is possible that, if the Company successfully consummates a business combination transaction with an unaffiliated entity, that entity may desire to employ or retain one or a number of members of its management for the purposes of providing services to the surviving entity. However, an informal policy has been adopted whereby the offer of any post-transaction employment to members of management will not be a consideration in its decision whether to undertake any proposed transaction.

No retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock option or insurance programs or other similar programs for the benefit of employees has been adopted.

There are no understandings or agreements regarding compensation management will receive after a business combination transaction that is required to be included in this report, or otherwise.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The following table sets forth, as of September 25, 2008 the number of shares of Common Stock owned of record and beneficially by executive officers, directors and persons who hold 5% or more of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company.
