FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT INFORMATION
Certain statements made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are “forward-looking statements” regarding the plans and objectives of management for future operations. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Our plans and objectives are based, in part, on assumptions involving judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that our assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein particularly in view of the current state of our operations, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a statement by us or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the factors set forth herein under the headings “Business,” “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors”. We undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason. The terms “we”, “our”, “us”, or any derivative thereof, as used herein refer to Newtown Lane Marketing, Incorporated.

PART 1
ITEM 1. | BUSINESS. |
THE COMPANY’S HISTORY
Newtown Lane Marketing, Incorporated (“we”, “our”, “us” or “Newtown”) was incorporated in Delaware on September 26, 2005. We are a development stage company that until December 31, 2007, held the exclusive license to exploit the Dreesen's Donut Brand in the United States with the exception of the states of Florida and Pennsylvania, and in Suffolk County, New York, which the licensor, Dreesen's, retained for itself. In August 2007 there was a change in control, as detailed below, and we discontinued our efforts to promote the Dreesen's Donut Brand at that time. The license from Dreesen expired on December 31, 2007. Accordingly, prior operations in this regard are reflected in these financial statements as discontinued operations.
CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP TRANSACTIONS
On August 8, 2007 (the “Effective Date”), we entered into and closed a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Moyo Partners, LLC, a New York limited liability company (“Moyo”) and R&R Biotech Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“R&R” collectively with Moyo, the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which we sold to them, in the aggregate, approximately, four hundred forty seven thousand nine hundred twenty five (447,925) shares (rounded-up) of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) and five hundred (500) shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”), each share convertible at the option of the holder into, approximately, one thousand four hundred eighty two (1,482) shares (rounded-up) of Common Stock, for aggregate gross proceeds to us of $600,000. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock were convertible only to the extent there were a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance upon any such conversion.
On the Effective Date: (i) the Purchasers acquired control of Newtown, with (a) R&R acquiring nine hundred fifty thousand nine hundred forty four (950,944) shares (rounded-up) of Common Stock (assuming the conversion by R&R of the four hundred (400) shares of Series A Preferred Stock it acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreement into five hundred ninety two thousand eight hundred (592,800) shares (rounded-up) of Common Stock) constituting 72% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, and (b) Moyo acquiring two hundred thirty seven thousand seven hundred thirty six (237,736) shares (rounded-up) of Common Stock (assuming the conversion by Moyo of its one hundred (100) shares of Series A Preferred Stock it acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreement into one hundred forty eight thousand one hundred fifty one (148,151) shares (rounded-up) of Common Stock) constituting 18% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock; and (ii) in full satisfaction of our obligations under outstanding convertible promissory notes in the principal amount of $960,000 (the “December Notes”), the Note holders of the December Notes converted an aggregate of $479,811 of principal and accrued interest into 27,420 shares (rounded-up) of Common Stock and accepted a cash payment from us in the aggregate amount of $625,030 for the remaining principal balance.
On the Effective Date: (i) Arnold P. Kling was appointed to our Board of Directors (“Board”) and served together with Vincent J. McGill, a then current director who continued to serve until August 20, 2007, the effective date of his resignation from our Board; (ii) all of our then officers and directors, with the exception of Mr. McGill, resigned from their respective positions with us; (iii) our Board appointed Mr. Kling as president and Kirk M. Warshaw as chief financial officer and secretary; and (iv) we relocated our headquarters to Chatham, New Jersey.
Following Mr. McGill’s resignation from our Board on August 20, 2007, Mr. Kling became our sole director and president.
On October 19, 2007, we put into effect an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase to 100,000,000 the number of authorized shares of Common Stock available for issuance (the “Charter Amendment”). As a result of the Charter Amendment, as of October 19, 2007, we had adequate shares of Common Stock available for issuance upon the conversion of all the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
3 |
On December 19, 2007, the holders of all the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock elected to convert all of their shares into shares of Common Stock. As a result, the 500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding were exchanged for 740,754 shares of Common Stock.
On August 15, 2008 (the “Series A Preferred Elimination Date”), all 500 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock were returned to the status of authorized and unissued shares of undesignated preferred stock, par value $.001 per shares. None of the Series A Preferred Stock were outstanding as of the Series A Preferred Elimination Date.
On August 29, 2008 (the “Reverse Split Effective Date”), we implemented a 1 for 50 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of the Common Stock. Pursuant to the Reverse Split, each 50 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Reverse Split Effective Date was converted into one (1) share of Common Stock. All share and per share data herein has been retroactively restated to reflect the Reverse Split.
In December 2008, we sold 55,000 shares of restricted Common Stock to our Chief Financial Officer, for $2,000. The issuance of these shares was exempt from registration pursuant to Sections 4(2) and 4(6) or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The stock certificate representing these shares was imprinted with a legend restricting transfer unless pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration under the Act.
As of March 31, 2013, our authorized capital stock consisted of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock of which 1,375,755 shares of Common Stock, and no shares of Preferred Stock, were issued and outstanding. All shares of Common Stock currently outstanding are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Subsequent to our fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, on May 6, 2013, Ironbound Partners Fund, LLC (“Ironbound”) acquired 950,944 shares of our outstanding Common Stock (the “Acquired Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $15,000, or $0.0157737 per share from the Chapter 7 Trustee of the Estates of Rodman & Renshaw, LLC (“Rodman”), Direct Markets, Inc., and Direct Markets Holdings, Corp. in Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (Cases No. 13-10087, 13-10088 and 13-10089). The Acquired Shares constituted all the shares of Common Stock previously owned by R&R, an affiliate of Rodman, and represent 69.1% of our total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of May 6, 2013.
On May 14, 2013, Ironbound loan $100,000 to us and we issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $100,000 to Ironbound (the “Note”). The Note is for a two-year term and bears interest at the rate of 5.0% per annum, payable at maturity. The principal and accrued interest on the Note is convertible into shares of Common Stock upon the consummation of a “Fundamental Transaction” (as defined in the Note) at the “Conversion Price” (as defined in the Note).
THE COMPANY TODAY
Since the Effective Date, our main purpose has been to serve as a vehicle to acquire an operating business and we are currently considered a “shell” company in as much as we are not generating revenues, do not own an operating business, and have no specific plan other than to engage in a merger or acquisition transaction with a yet-to-be identified operating company or business. Our principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with an operating company or business. We will not restrict our potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business. The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of our officers and directors. We have no employees and no material assets.
We currently have no agreements or understandings with any prospective business combination candidates and there are no assurances that we will find a suitable business with which to combine. The implementation of our business objectives is wholly contingent upon a business combination and/or the successful sale of our securities. We intend to utilize the proceeds of any offering, any sales of equity securities or debt securities, bank and other borrowings or a combination of those sources to effect a business combination with a target business which we believe may have significant growth potential. While we may, under certain circumstances, seek to effect business combinations with more than one target business, unless additional financing is obtained, we will not have sufficient proceeds remaining after an initial business combination to undertake additional business combinations.
4 |
A common reason for a target company to enter into a merger with a shell company is the desire to establish a public trading market for its shares. Such a company would hope to avoid the perceived adverse consequences of undertaking a public offering itself, such as the time delays and significant expenses incurred to comply with the various federal and state securities law that regulate initial public offerings.
As a result of our limited resources, unless and until additional financing is obtained we expect to have sufficient proceeds to effect only a single business combination. Accordingly, the prospects for our success will be entirely dependent upon the future performance of a single business. Unlike certain entities that have the resources to consummate several business combinations or entities operating in multiple industries or multiple segments of a single industry, we will not have the resources to diversify our operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses. A target business may be dependent upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services, in which case there will be an even higher risk that the target business will not prove to be commercially viable.
Our officers are only required to devote a very small portion of their time (less than 10%) to our affairs on a part-time or as-needed basis. Our officers may be entitled to receive compensation from a target company they identify or provide services in connection with a business combination. We expect to use outside consultants, advisors, attorneys and accountants as necessary, none of which will be hired on a retainer basis. We do not anticipate hiring any full-time employees so long as we are seeking and evaluating business opportunities.
We do not expect our present management to play any managerial role for us following a business combination. Although we intend to scrutinize closely the management of a prospective target business in connection with our evaluation of a business combination with a target business, our assessment of management may be incorrect.
In evaluating a prospective target business, we will consider several factors, including the following:
- | experience and skill of management and availability of additional personnel of the target business; |
- | costs associated with effecting the business combination; |
- | equity interest retained by our stockholders in the merged entity; |
- | growth potential of the target business; |
- | capital requirements of the target business; |
- | capital available to the target business; |
- | stage of development of the target business; |
- | proprietary features and degree of intellectual property or other protection of the target business; |
- | the financial statements of the target business; and |
- | the regulatory environment in which the target business operates. |
The foregoing criteria are not intended to be exhaustive and any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular target business will be based, to the extent relevant, on the above factors, as well as other considerations we deem relevant. In connection with our evaluation of a prospective target business, we anticipate that we will conduct a due diligence review which will encompass, among other things, meeting with incumbent management as well as a review of financial, legal and other information.
5 |
The time and costs required to select and evaluate a target business (including conducting a due diligence review) and to structure and consummate the business combination (including negotiating and documenting relevant agreements and preparing requisite documents for filing pursuant to applicable corporate and securities laws) cannot be determined at this time. Our president intends to devote only a very small portion of his time to our affairs, and, accordingly, the consummation of a business combination may require a longer time than if he devoted his full time to our affairs. However, he will devote such time as he deems reasonably necessary to carry out our business and affairs. The amount of time devoted to our business and affairs may vary significantly depending upon, among other things, whether we have identified a target business or are engaged in active negotiation of a business combination.
We anticipate that various prospective target businesses will be brought to our attention from various sources, including securities broker-dealers, investment bankers, venture capitalists, bankers and other members of the financial community, including, possibly, the executive officers and our affiliates.
As a general rule, federal and state tax laws and regulations have a significant impact upon the structuring of business combinations. We will evaluate the possible tax consequences of any prospective business combination and will endeavor to structure a business combination so as to achieve the most favorable tax treatment to our company, the target business and our respective stockholders. There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or relevant state tax authorities will ultimately assent to our tax treatment of a particular consummated business combination. To the extent the Internal Revenue Service or any relevant state tax authorities ultimately prevail in recharacterizing the tax treatment of a business combination, there may be adverse tax consequences to our company, the target business, and our respective stockholders.
We may acquire a company or business by purchasing the securities of such company or business. However, we do not intend to engage primarily in such activities. Specifically, we intend to conduct our activities so as to avoid being classified as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Act”) and therefore avoid application of the costly and restrictive registration and other provisions of the Investment Company Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
Section 3(a) of the Investment Company Act excepts from the definition of an "investment company" an entity which does not engage primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting or trading in securities, or which does not engage in the business of investing, owning, holding or trading "investment securities" (defined as "all securities other than government securities or securities of majority-owned subsidiaries") the value of which exceed 40% of the value of its total assets (excluding government securities, cash or cash items). We intend to operate any business in the future in a manner which will result in the availability of this exception from the definition of an investment company. Consequently, our acquisition of a company or business through the purchase and sale of investment securities will be limited. Although we intend to act to avoid classification as an investment company, the provisions of the Investment Company Act are extremely complex and it is possible that we may be classified as an inadvertent investment company. We intend to vigorously resist classification as an investment company, and to take advantage of any exemptions or exceptions from application of the Investment Company Act, which allows an entity a one-time option during any three-year period to claim an exemption as a "transient" investment company. The necessity of asserting any such resistance, or making any claim of exemption, could be time consuming and costly, or even prohibitive, given our limited resources.
Various impediments to a business combination may arise, such as appraisal rights afforded the stockholders of a target business under the laws of its state of organization. This may prove to be deterrent to a particular combination.

ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS. |
IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THIS REPORT, YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING FACTORS IN EVALUATING OUR BUSINESS, OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION. ADDITIONAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES NOT PRESENTLY KNOWN TO US, THAT WE CURRENTLY DEEM IMMATERIAL OR THAT ARE SIMILAR TO THOSE FACED BY OTHER COMPANIES IN OUR INDUSTRY OR BUSINESS IN GENERAL, SUCH AS COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS, MAY ALSO IMPAIR OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS. THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING RISKS COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
WE HAVE NO RECENT OPERATING HISTORY OR BASIS FOR EVALUATING PROSPECTS.
Since the Effective Date, we have no operating business or plans to develop one. We are currently seeking to enter into a merger or business combination with another company. To date, our efforts have been limited to meeting our regulatory filing requirements and searching for a merger target.
We Have Limited Resources and No Revenues From Operations, and WILL Need Additional Financing in Order to Execute ANY Business Plan AND HISTORICALLY RELIED UPON FUNDING FROM OUR MAJORITY STOCKHOLDER.
We have limited resources, no revenues from operations to date and our cash on hand may not be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements during the next twelve months. In addition, we will not achieve any revenues (other than insignificant investment income) until, at the earliest, the consummation of a merger and we cannot ascertain our capital requirements until such time. Further limiting our abilities to achieve revenues, in order to avoid status as an "Investment Company" under the Investment Company Act, we can only invest our funds prior to a merger in limited investments which do not invoke Investment Company status. There can be no assurance that determinations ultimately made by us will permit us to achieve our business objectives.
We have historically relied upon funding through capital contributions from our former majority stockholder, R&R, an affiliate of Rodman. On January 11, 2013, Rodman filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy petition. As a result, we do not expect any further funding from R&R. Subsequent to our fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, on May 6, 2013, Ironbound acquired the 950,944 shares of Common Stock then owned by R&R from the Chapter 7 Trustee of the Estates of Rodman, Direct Markets, Inc., and Direct Markets Holdings, Corp. in Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (Cases No. 13-10087, 13-10088 and 13-10089). On May 14, 2013 we raised $100,000 of funds from Ironbound and issued the Note to it. We believe that such funds will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements during the next twelve months. However, we may require additional funds and cannot provide assurance that adequate additional funds will be available if needed or, if available, will be offered on acceptable terms. Failure to receive adequate additional funding will cause us to cease operations.
We Will Be Able to Effect At Most One Merger, and Thus May Not Have a Diversified Business.
Our resources are limited and we will most likely have the ability to effect only a single merger. This probable lack of diversification will subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have a material adverse impact upon the particular industry in which we may operate subsequent to the consummation of a merger. We will become dependent upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services.
7 |
We Depend SUBSTANTIALLY upon OUR PRESIDENT, Whose Experience Is Limited, to Make All Management Decisions.
Our ability to effect a merger will be dependent upon the efforts of our president, Arnold Kling. Notwithstanding the importance of Mr. Kling, we have not entered into any employment agreement or other understanding with Mr. Kling concerning compensation or obtained any "key man" life insurance on any of his life. The loss of the services of Mr. Kling will have a material adverse effect on our business objectives and success. We rely upon the expertise of Mr. Kling and do not anticipate that we will hire additional personnel.
THERE MAY BE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST BETWEEN OUR MANAGEMENT AND OUR NON-MANAGEMENT STOCKHOLDERS.
Conflicts of interest create the risk that management may have an incentive to act adversely to the interests of other investors. Our officers may be entitled to receive compensation from a target company they identify or provide services to in connection with a business combination. A conflict of interest may arise between our management’s personal pecuniary interest and their fiduciary duty to our stockholders. Further, our management’s own pecuniary interest may at some point compromise their fiduciary duty to our stockholders. In addition, Mr. Kling, our president and sole director, and Mr. Warshaw, our chief financial officer, are currently involved with other blank check offerings and conflicts in the pursuit of business combinations with such other blank check companies with which they and affiliates of our majority stockholder are, and may in the future be affiliated with, may arise. If we and the other blank check companies that our officers and directors are affiliated with desire to take advantage of the same opportunity, then those officers and directors that are affiliated with both companies would abstain from voting upon the opportunity. We cannot assure you that conflicts of interest among us, our management and our stockholders will not develop.
THERE IS COMPETITION FOR THOSE PRIVATE COMPANIES SUITABLE FOR A MERGER TRANSACTION OF THE TYPE CONTEMPLATED BY MANAGEMENT.
We are in a highly competitive market for a small number of business opportunities which could reduce the likelihood of consummating a successful business combination. We are and will continue to be an insignificant participant in the business of seeking mergers with, joint ventures with and acquisitions of small private and public entities. A large number of established and well-financed entities, including small public companies and venture capital firms, are active in mergers and acquisitions of companies that may be desirable target candidates for us. Nearly all these entities have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than we do; consequently, we will be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully completing a business combination. These competitive factors may reduce the likelihood of our identifying and consummating a successful business combination.
FUTURE SUCCESS IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THE ABILITY OF MANAGEMENT TO LOCATE AND ATTRACT A SUITABLE ACQUISITION.
The nature of our operations is highly speculative. The success of our plan of operation will depend to a great extent on the operations, financial condition and management of the identified business opportunity. While management intends to seek business combination(s) with entities having established operating histories, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in locating candidates meeting that criterion. In the event we complete a business combination, the success of our operations may be dependent upon management of the successor firm or venture partner firm and numerous other factors beyond our control.
8 |
WE HAVE NO AGREEMENT FOR A BUSINESS COMBINATION OR OTHER TRANSACTION.
We have no agreement with respect to engaging in a merger with, joint venture with or acquisition of, a private or public entity. No assurances can be given that we will successfully identify and evaluate suitable business opportunities or that we will conclude a business combination. Management has not identified any particular industry or specific business within an industry for evaluation. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to negotiate a business combination on favorable terms, and there is consequently a risk that funds allocated to the purchase of our shares will not be invested in a company with active business operations.
MANAGEMENT WILL CHANGE UPON THE CONSUMMATION OF A MERGER.
After the closing of a merger or business combination, it is likely our current management will not retain any control or managerial responsibilities. Upon such event, Mr. Kling and Mr. Warshaw intend to resign from their positions with us.
CURRENT STOCKHOLDERS WILL BE IMMEDIATELY AND SUBSTANTIALLY DILUTED UPON A MERGER OR BUSINESS COMBINATION.
Our Certificate of Incorporation authorized the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of our Common Stock. There are currently 98,624,245 authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock available for issuance. To the extent that additional shares of Common Stock are authorized and issued in connection with a merger or business combination, our stockholders could experience significant dilution of their respective ownership interests. Furthermore, the issuance of a substantial number of shares of Common Stock may adversely affect prevailing market prices, if any, for our Common Stock and could impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities.
CONTROL BY EXISTING STOCKHOLDER.
As of June 25, 2013 Ironbound beneficially owned over 69% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock. As a result, Ironbound is able to exercise control over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, and the approval of mergers, consolidations and sales of all or substantially all of our assets.
OUR COMMON STOCK IS A "PENNY STOCK" WHICH MAY RESTRICT THE ABILITY OF STOCKHOLDERS TO SELL OUR COMMON STOCK IN THE SECONDARY MARKET.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be an equity security that has a market price, as defined, of less than $5.00 per share, or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions, including an exception of an equity security that is quoted on a national securities exchange. Our Common Stock is not now quoted on a national exchange and has not traded since October 16, 2008 and therefore may be deemed to be a penny stock. As such, they are subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell these securities. For example, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser of such securities and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transactions prior to the purchase. Additionally, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered underwriter, and current quotations for the securities, and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market. Finally, among other requirements, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. The "penny stock" rules, may restrict the ability of our stockholders to sell our Common Stock and warrants in the secondary market.
9 |
OUR COMMON STOCK HAS NOT TRADED SINCE OCTOBER 16, 2008 BEEN THINLY TRADED, LIQUIDITY IS LIMITED, AND WE MAY BE UNABLE TO OBTAIN LISTING OF OUR COMMON STOCK ON A MORE LIQUID MARKET.
Our Common Stock has not traded since October 16, 2008. Since inception our Common Stock has been quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and currently on the OTC Markets, both of which provide significantly less liquidity than a national securities exchange such as the NYSE or the NASDAQ. There is uncertainty that we will ever be accepted for a listing on a national securities exchange. The purchasers of shares of our Common Stock may find it difficult to resell their shares at prices quoted in the market or at all.
ITEM 1B. | UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS. |
None.
ITEM 2. | PROPERTIES. |
Our principal offices are located at 133 Summit Avenue, Suite 22, Summit, New Jersey which are owned by Kirk M. Warshaw, LLC (the “LLC”), an affiliated company of Kirk Warshaw, our chief financial officer and secretary. We occupy our principal offices on a month to month basis. On January 1, 2009, we began paying a quarterly fee of $500 to the LLC for the use and occupancy, and administrative services, related to our principal offices. We do not own or intend to invest in any real property. We currently have 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.

ITEM 6. | SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA. |

ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. |
GENERAL
We are a development stage corporation with limited operations and have very limited revenues from our business operations since our incorporation in September 2005. Until December 31, 2007, we held the exclusive license to exploit the Dreesen's Donut Brand in the United States with the exception of the states of Florida and Pennsylvania, and in Suffolk County, New York, which the licensor, Dreesen's, retained for itself. The license from Dreesen expired on December 31, 2007.
As of the Effective Date, we discontinued our efforts to promote the Dreesen's Donut Brand, we have no employees and our main purpose has been to effect a business combination with an operating business which we believe has significant growth potential. As of yet, we have no definitive agreements or understandings with any prospective business combination candidates and there are no assurances that we will find a suitable business with which to combine. The implementation of our business objectives is wholly contingent upon a business combination and/or the successful sale of our securities. We intend to utilize the proceeds of any offering, any sales of equity securities or debt securities, bank and other borrowings or a combination of those sources to effect a business combination with a target business which we believe has significant growth potential. While we may, under certain circumstances, seek to effect business combinations with more than one target business, unless and until additional financing is obtained, we will not have sufficient proceeds remaining after an initial business combination to undertake additional business combinations.
A common reason for a target company to enter into a merger with us is the desire to establish a public trading market for its shares. Such a company would hope to avoid the perceived adverse consequences of undertaking a public offering itself, such as the time delays and significant expenses incurred to comply with the various Federal and state securities law that regulate initial public offerings.
As a result of our limited resources, we expect to have sufficient proceeds to effect only a single business combination. Accordingly, the prospects for our success will be entirely dependent upon the future performance of a single business. Unlike certain entities that have the resources to consummate several business combinations or entities operating in multiple industries or multiple segments of a single industry, we will not have the resources to diversify our operations or benefit from the possible spreading of risks or offsetting of losses. A target business may be dependent upon the development or market acceptance of a single or limited number of products, processes or services, in which case there will be an even higher risk that the target business will not prove to be commercially viable.
Our officers are only required to devote a small portion of their time (less than 10%) to our affairs on a part-time or as-needed basis. We expect to use outside consultants, advisors, attorneys and accountants as necessary. We do not anticipate hiring any full-time employees so long as we are seeking and evaluating business opportunities.
11 |
We expect our present management to play no managerial role in our company following a business combination. Although we intend to scrutinize closely the management of a prospective target business in connection with our evaluation of a business combination with a target business, our assessment of management may be incorrect. We cannot assure you that we will find a suitable business with which to combine.
Our principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with an operating business. We will not restrict our potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business. The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of our officers and directors.
EQUIPMENT AND EMPLOYEES
As of March 31, 2013, we had no operating business, no equipment, and no employees. We do not intend to develop our own operating business but instead plan to merge with another operating company.
Results of Operations
Continuing Operating Expenses for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2013 Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2012
We are a development stage corporation with limited operations and did not have any operating revenues during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Total expenses from Continuing Operations for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were $31,049 and $36,595, respectively. These expenses primarily constituted general and administrative expenses related to accounting and compliance with the Exchange Act. The decrease in expenses experienced from 2012 to 2013 was due to lower professional fees.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2013, we did not have any revenues from operations. Our principal source of operating capital recently has been provided in the form of loans and capital contributions from our stockholders. Absent a merger or other combination with an operating company, we do not expect to have any revenues from operations. No assurance can be given that such a merger or other combination will occur or that we can engage in any public or private sales of our equity or debt securities to raise working capital. We are dependent upon future loans or capital contributions from our present stockholders and/or management and there can be no assurances that our present stockholders or management will make any loans or capital contributions to us. At March 31, 2013, we had cash of $9,810 and negative working capital of $27,123.
Subsequent to our fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, on May 14, 2013, our majority stockholder, Ironbound loaned us $100,000 and we issued the Note to it.
Our present material commitments are professional and administrative fees and expenses associated with the preparation of our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and other regulatory requirements. In the event that we engage in any merger or other combination with an operating company, it is likely that we will have additional material commitments.
Commitments
We do not have any commitments which are required to be disclosed in tabular form as of March 31, 2013.
12 |
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2013, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements such as guarantees, retained or contingent interest in assets transferred, obligation under a derivative instrument and obligation arising out of or a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity.
ITEM 7A. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. |
As a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.
ITEM 8. | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA. |
See the index to the Financial Statements below, beginning on page F-1.
ITEM 9. | CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE. |
Effective October 22, 2012 we dismissed Sherb & Co., LLP (“Sherb”) from serving as our independent accountants.and engaged Liggett, Vogt & Webb, P.A. (“Liggett”) as our new independent accountants. Our Board of Directors unanimously recommended that we change audit firms, directed the process of review of candidate firms to replace Sherb and made the final decision to engage Liggett. There were no disagreements, adverse opinions or disclaimer of opinion by Sherb at the time of the change or during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013.
ITEM 9A. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. |
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our president and chief financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15-d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the president and chief financial officer concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our president and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, management’s evaluation of controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Newtown Lane have been detected.
(b) Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2013. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Our management has concluded that, as of March 31, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on these criteria.
13 |
(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 9B. | OTHER INFORMATION |
None.

Mr. Kling and Mr. Warshaw are not required to commit their full time to our business affairs and they will not devote a substantial amount of time to our business affairs.
Compensation and Audit Committees
As we only have one Board member and given our limited operations, we do not have separate or independent audit or compensation committees. Our Board has determined that it does not have an "audit committee financial expert," as that term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. In addition, we have not adopted any procedures by which our stockholders may recommend nominees to our Board.

We do not have any incentive or stock option plan in effect.

We have also audited the amounts presented for the period April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013, included in the statements of stockholder’ equity (deficit) and in the total amounts presented in the statements of operations and cash flows for the period from September 26, 2005 (inception) to March 31, 2013. We did not audit the period September 26, 2005 (inception) to March 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Newtown Lane Marketing, Incorporated as of March 31, 2013 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2013, and the amounts presented for the period April 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013 included in the statements of stockholders’ equity (deficit) and in the total amounts presented in the statements of operations and cash flows for the period from September 26, 2005 (inception) to March 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY
Newtown Lane Marketing Incorporated (“we”, “our”, “us” or “Newtown”) was incorporated in Delaware on September 26, 2005. We are a development stage company that until December 31, 2007, held the exclusive license to exploit the Dreesen's Donut Brand in the United States with the exception of the states of Florida and Pennsylvania, and in Suffolk County, New York, which the licensor, Dreesen's, retained for itself. In August 2007 there was a change in control, as detailed below, and we discontinued our efforts to promote the Dreesen's Donut Brand at that time. Accordingly, prior operations in this regard are reflected in these financial statements as discontinued operations. The license from Dreesen expired on December 31, 2007.
EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
On August 8, 2007 (the “Effective Date”), we entered into and closed a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Moyo Partners, LLC, a New York limited liability company (“Moyo”) and R&R Biotech Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“R&R” collectively with Moyo, the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which we sold to them, in the aggregate, approximately, four hundred forty seven thousand nine hundred twenty five (447,925) shares (rounded-up) of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) and five hundred (500) shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”), each share convertible at the option of the holder into, approximately, one thousand four hundred eighty two (1,482) shares (rounded-up) of Common Stock, for aggregate gross proceeds to us of $600,000. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock were convertible only to the extent there were a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance upon any such conversion.
On the Effective Date: (i) the Purchasers acquired control of Newtown, with (a) R&R acquiring nine hundred fifty thousand nine hundred forty four (950,944) shares (rounded-up) of Common Stock (assuming the conversion by R&R of the four hundred (400) shares of Series A Preferred Stock it acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreement into five hundred ninety two thousand eight hundred (592,800) shares (rounded-up) of Common Stock) constituting 72% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, and (b) Moyo acquiring two hundred thirty seven thousand seven hundred thirty six (237,736) shares (rounded-up) of Common Stock (assuming the conversion by Moyo of its one hundred (100) shares of Series A Preferred Stock it acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreement into one hundred forty eight thousand one hundred fifty one (148,151) shares (rounded-up) of Common Stock) constituting 18% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock; and (ii) in full satisfaction of our obligations under outstanding convertible promissory notes in the principal amount of $960,000 (the “December Notes”), the Note holders of the December Notes converted an aggregate of $479,811 of principal and accrued interest into 27,420 shares (rounded-up) of Common Stock and accepted a cash payment from us in the aggregate amount of $625,030 for the remaining principal balance.
On the Effective Date: (i) Arnold P. Kling was appointed to our Board of Directors (“Board”) and served together with Vincent J. McGill, a then current director who continued to serve until August 20, 2007, the effective date of his resignation from our Board; (ii) all of our then officers and directors, with the exception of Mr. McGill, resigned from their respective positions with us; (iii) our Board appointed Mr. Kling as president and Kirk M. Warshaw as chief financial officer and secretary; and (iv) we relocated our headquarters to Chatham, New Jersey.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY (continued):
Following Mr. McGill’s resignation from our Board on August 20, 2007, Mr. Kling became our sole director and president.
THE COMPANY TODAY
Since the Effective Date, our main purpose has been to serve as a vehicle to acquire an operating business and we are currently considered a “shell” company in as much as we are not generating revenues, do not own an operating business, and have no specific plan other than to engage in a merger or acquisition transaction with a yet-to-be identified operating company or business. Our principal business objective for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with an operating business rather than immediate, short-term earnings. We will not restrict our potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business. The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of our officers and directors. We have no employees and no material assets.
Commencing with the filing of our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, all of our donut-related business services activities have been accounted for as Discontinued Operations. As such, all of the prior activity has been shown in the financials as one line item that is labeled “Loss from Discontinued Operations.” Our activities since August 2007 are shown in the Income Statement under the section labeled “Loss from Continuing Operations.” These amounts are for expenses incurred since August 2007 and are of the nature we expect to incur in the future, whereas the Loss from Discontinued Operations are from activities we are no longer engaged in.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Newtown’s accounting policies are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Outlined below are those policies considered particularly significant.
(a) | Use of Estimates: |
In preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes certain estimates and assumptions, where applicable, that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While actual results could differ from those estimates, management does not expect such variances, if any, to have a material effect on the financial statements.
(b) | Statements of Cash Flows: |
For purposes of the statements of cash flows Newtown considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
(c) | Earnings (Loss) Per Share: |
Basic earnings (loss) per share has been computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period presented according to the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) guidance for “EARNINGS PER SHARE”. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if options or other contracts to issue shares of common stock were exercised or converted to common stock as long as the effect of their inclusion is not anti-dilutive. We currently have no options or contracts to issue shares of common stock outstanding.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued):
(d) | Income Taxes: |
The asset and liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in 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 the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized.
(e) | Financial Instruments |
The estimated fair values of all reported assets and liabilities which represent financial instruments, none of which are held for trading purposes, approximate their carrying value because of the short term maturity of these instruments or the stated interest rates are indicative of market interest rates.
(f) | Equity Based Compensation |
The accounting guidance for “Share Based Payments” requires the recognition of the fair value of employee stock options and similar awards and applies to all outstanding and vested stock-based awards.
In computing the impact, the fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant based on the Black-Scholes options-pricing model utilizing certain assumptions for a risk free interest rate; volatility; and expected remaining lives of the awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and Newtown uses different assumptions, Newtown’s stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. In addition, Newtown is required to estimate the expected forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. In estimating Newtown’s forfeiture rate, Newtown analyzed its historical forfeiture rate, the remaining lives of unvested options, and the amount of vested options as a percentage of total options outstanding. If Newtown’s actual forfeiture rate is materially different from its estimate, or if Newtown reevaluates the forfeiture rate in the future, the stock-based compensation expense could be significantly different from what we have recorded in the current period. There was no equity based compensation for the year ended March 31, 2013.
(g) | New Accounting Pronouncements |
All new accounting pronouncements issued but not yet effective have been reviewed and determined to be not applicable. As a result, the adoption of such new accounting pronouncements, when effective, is not expected to have a material impact on the financial position of Newtown.

NOTE 3 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)
On May 9, 2007, an employee and two officers transferred 50,000 shares in aggregate (approximately 16,667 shares a piece) to a third party for services on our behalf. The fair value of the 50,000 shares transferred of $19,000 was recorded in the statement of operations as a selling, general and administrative expense.
On the Effective Date, we entered into and closed the Purchase Agreement with the Purchasers, pursuant to which we sold to them, in the aggregate, four hundred forty seven thousand nine hundred twenty five (447,925) shares of our Common Stock and five hundred (500) shares of Preferred Stock, each share convertible at the option of the holder into one thousand four hundred eighty two (1,482) shares (rounded-up) of Common Stock, for aggregate gross proceeds to us of $600,000. Preferred Stock is convertible only to the extent there are a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance upon any such conversion.
On the Effective Date: (i) the Purchasers acquired control of Newtown, with (a) R&R acquiring nine hundred fifty thousand nine hundred forty four (950,944) shares (rounded-up) of Common Stock (assuming the conversion by R&R of the four hundred (400) shares of Preferred Stock it acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreement into five hundred ninety two thousand eight hundred (592,800) shares of Common Stock) constituting 72% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, and (b) Moyo acquiring two hundred thirty seven thousand seven hundred thirty six (237,736) shares (rounded-up) of Common Stock (assuming the conversion by Moyo of its one hundred (100) shares of Preferred Stock it acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreement into one hundred forty eight thousand one hundred fifty one (148,151) shares of Common Stock) constituting 18% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock; and (ii) in full satisfaction of our obligations under outstanding convertible promissory notes in the principal amount of $960,000 and all accrued interest by issuing to the Note holders an aggregate of 27,420 shares (rounded-up) of Common Stock and paying them cash in the aggregate amount of $625,030.
On October 19, 2007, we put into effect an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase to 100,000,000 the number of authorized shares of Common Stock available for issuance (the “Charter Amendment”). As a result of the Charter Amendment, as of October 19, 2007, we had adequate shares of Common Stock available for issuance upon the conversion of all the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
On December 19, 2007, the holders of all the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock elected to convert all of their shares into shares of Common Stock. As a result, the 500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding were exchanged for 740,754 shares of Common Stock.
On August 15, 2008 (the “Series A Preferred Elimination Date”), all 500 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock were returned to the status of authorized and unissued shares of undesignated preferred stock, par value $.001 per shares. None of the Series A Preferred Stock were outstanding as of the Series A Preferred Elimination Date.
On August 29, 2008 (the “Reverse Split Effective Date”), we implemented a 1 for 50 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of the Common Stock. Pursuant to the Reverse Split, each 50 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Reverse Split Effective Date was converted into one (1) share of Common Stock. All share and per share data herein has been retroactively restated to reflect the Reverse Split.

NOTE 3 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (continued):
In December 2008, we sold 55,000 shares of Common Stock to Kirk Warshaw, CFO, for $2,000. We determined such shares were issued below their fair value; hence $11,750 of compensation expense was recorded for the difference in value of the shares issued for cash versus fair value of such shares.
Subsequent to our fiscal year end, on May 6, 2013, Ironbound Partners Fund, LLC (“Ironbound”) acquired 950,944 shares of Common Stock (the “Acquired Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $15,000, or $0.0157737 per share. The Acquired Shares represent 69.1% of our total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Acquired Shares were purchased by Ironbound, utilizing its available and uncommitted cash, from the Chapter 7 Trustee of the Estates of Rodman & Renshaw, LLC (“Rodman”), Direct Markets, Inc., and Direct Markets Holdings, Corp. in Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (Cases No. 13-10087, 13-10088 and 13-10089). The Acquired Shares constitute all the shares of Common Stock previously owned by R&R, an affiliate of Rodman.
During the years ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, R&R contributed to us $0 and $45,500, respectively. The proceeds were recorded to additional paid-in capital as contributed capital.

At March 31, 2013, Newtown had approximately $1,695,000 of net operating loss carry forwards (“NOL’s”) available which expires in various years beginning in 2030. In addition, there is a $25,000 capital loss carryover, which is fully reserved as well. This capital loss expires in 2026. The deferred tax asset and related valuation increased by approximately $11,000 during the period ended March 31, 2013. The utilization of the net operating loss carryforward has been limited as to its use pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code Section 382 due to the recent change in ownership of Newtown. The benefits of these NOL’s may be reduced in the future if Newtown is successful in establishing a new business.
