REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
PinstripesNYS, Inc.
New York, NY
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of PinstripesNYS, Inc. (a development stage company) as of September 30, 2012, and the related statements of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, and for the period from January 4, 2010 (Inception) through September 30, 2012, and the statements of changes in stockholders’ equity for the six-months ended September 30, 2012 and for the period from January 4, 2010 (Inception) through September 30, 2012 and the statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and for the period from January 4, 2010 (Inception) through September 30, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the balance sheet of PinstripesNYS, Inc. as of March 31, 2012, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholder’s equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated June 12, 2012, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company is in the development stage and has not commenced operations. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to develop additional sources of capital, locate and complete a merger with another company and ultimately achieve profitable operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

PINSTRIPESNYS, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
NOTE 1: HISTORY
PinstripesNYS, Inc. (the “Company”), a development stage company, was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on January 4, 2010. The Company is in the development stage as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 915, Development Stage Enterprises. The Company has selected March 31st as its fiscal year end.
The Company was organized as a non-operational, asset-free entity which is listed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for public trading. Its purpose is to seek a candidate for merger, effectively allowing the candidate to become a publicly listed entity. It is the intent of the Company’s majority shareholder to fund the Company’s operating costs, which currently consist of professional fees associated with the reporting and regulatory obligations of the Company, until a merger candidate is identified and the merger process is complete. At that point, the acquirer will take over the operations of the Company. To date, management has been devoting its efforts to locating such candidates; however they have been unable to secure any significant acquisition commitments

(CONTINUED)
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The summary of the major accounting policies is presented to assist the reader in evaluating the financial statements and other data contained herein.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and reflect all adjustments which are in the opinion of management necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented.
GOING CONCERN AND PLAN OF OPERATIONS
The Company’s financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is in the development stage, has very little working capital and has incurred an aggregate net loss of $99,799 at September 30, 2012. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to develop additional sources of capital, locate and complete a merger with another company, and ultimately, achieve profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2012
(CONTINUED)
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
SHARE BASED PAYMENTS
The Company accounts for share-based payments to non-employees pursuant to FASB ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC 505-50”). ASC 505-50 requires the Company to account for the services provided to it in exchange for equity issued to the service provider at the fair value of the services provided or the fair value of the shares issued, whichever is more reliable. Note 6 more fully describes these arrangements and the related costs incurred.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. 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 income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require Company management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Company and recognize a tax liability or asset if the Company has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company has concluded that as of March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012, there are no material uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or asset or disclosure in the financial statements. The Company is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. Company management believes that the Company’s income tax returns for the years ended March 31, 2010 through 2012 remain subject to examination based on the normal statutory periods subject to audits, notwithstanding any events or circumstances that may exist which could expand the open period.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIC NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated events and transactions that occurred through November 14, 2012 which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued, for possible disclosure and recognition in the financial statements.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company has adopted all applicable recently issued accounting pronouncements. The adoption of the accounting pronouncements, including those not yet effective, is not anticipated to have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.
NOTE 3: COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK
COMMON STOCK
The Company is authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock at a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to cast one vote for each share held at all stockholders’ meetings for all purposes, including the election of directors. The Common Stock does not have cumulative voting rights.
PREFERRED STOCK
The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock at a par value of $0.0001 per share.

The Company’s Secretary is also the Chief Financial Officer of Maxim Group LLC. The officers and directors of the Company are involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities that become available. Such persons may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and their other business interests. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.
NOTE 5: INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes includes certain minimum state taxes. However, no provision or benefit for Federal income taxes has been included in the financial statements because the Company has sustained cumulative losses since inception and has available to it net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income. Such net operating loss carryforwards have been recorded as deferred tax assets amounting to $38,000 at September 30, 2012 and $24,000 at March 31, 2012. The Company has recorded a 100% valuation allowance at each date to offset any benefit associated with its deferred tax assets as management feels that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize these tax benefits.
NOTE 6: STOCK COMPENSATION
On April 9, 2012, the Company engaged the services of a law firm pursuant to a three year services agreement to act as counsel with respect to ongoing corporate and securities matters. The agreement requires the Company to issue to the attorneys shares of common stock each year as compensation for their services. The first issuance of shares occurred on July 1, 2012 when the Company issued 376,344 shares to the attorneys as compensation for their services from April 9, 2012 through April 9, 2013. The next issuance is to occur on July 1, 2013 in an amount equal to 7% of the then-outstanding shares of stock and the final issuance on July 1, 2014 in an amount equal to 6% of the then-outstanding shares of stock. All shares, once issued, are fully vested, not restricted, and carry all pertinent rights and privileges afforded to all common shareholders. In accordance with FASB ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees the Company recorded the shares based on the fair value of the services. The fair value of the services is expected to be $48,000 for the period from April 9, 2012 through April 9, 2013, of which $28,000 has been recorded as non-employee stock compensation for the six months ended September 30, 2012.

Forward Looking Statement Notice
Certain statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are “forward-looking statements” (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) regarding the plans and objectives of management for future operations. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements of PinstripesNYS, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) 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. The Company's plans and objectives are based, in part, on assumptions involving the continued expansion of business. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve 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 the control of the Company. Although the Company believes its assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives and plans of the Company will be achieved.
Description of Business
The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 4, 2010 (Inception) and maintains its principal executive office at c/o Maxim Group LLC, 405 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10174. Since inception, the Company has been engaged in organizational efforts and obtaining initial financing. The Company was formed as a vehicle to pursue a business combination through the acquisition of, or merger with, an operating business. The Company filed a registration statement on Form 10 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 11, 2010, and since its effectiveness, the Company has focused its efforts to identify a possible business combination.
The Company, based on proposed business activities, is currently 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 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." Many states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of securities of "blank check" companies in their respective jurisdictions. The Company is also a “shell company,” defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act as a company with no or nominal assets (other than cash) and no or nominal operations. 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. The Company intends to comply with the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for so long as we are subject to those requirements.
The Company was organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation. The Company’s 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. The Company will not restrict its potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business.
11
The Company currently does not engage in any business activities that provide cash flow. During the next twelve months we anticipate incurring costs related to:
(i) filing Exchange Act reports, and
(ii) investigating, analyzing and consummating an acquisition.
We believe we will be able to meet these costs through use of funds in our treasury, through deferral of fees by certain service providers and additional amounts, as necessary, to be loaned to or invested in us by our stockholders, management or other investors. As of the date of the period covered by this report, the Company has $3,151 of cash in its treasury. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to secure any additional funding as needed. Currently, however our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Our ability to continue as a going concern is also dependent on our ability to find a suitable target company and enter into a possible reverse merger with such company. Management’s plan includes obtaining additional funds by equity financing through a reverse merger transaction and/or related party advances, however there is no assurance of additional funding being available.
The Company may consider acquiring a business which has recently commenced operations, is a developing company in need of additional funds for expansion into new products or markets, is seeking to develop a new product or service, or is an established business which may be experiencing financial or operating difficulties and is in need of additional capital. In the alternative, a business combination may involve the acquisition of, or merger with, a company which does not need substantial additional capital but which desires to establish a public trading market for its shares while avoiding, among other things, the time delays, significant expense, and loss of voting control which may occur in a public offering.
Since our Registration Statement on Form 10 went effective, our management has not had any contact or discussions with representatives of other entities regarding a business combination with us. Any target business that is selected may be a financially unstable company or an entity in its early stages of development or growth, including entities without established records of sales or earnings. In that event, we will be subject to numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of financially unstable and early stage or potential emerging growth companies. In addition, we may effect a business combination with an entity in an industry characterized by a high level of risk, and, although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, there can be no assurance that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risks. Our management anticipates that it will likely be able to effect only one business combination, due primarily to our limited financing and the dilution of interest for present and prospective stockholders, which is likely to occur as a result of our management’s plan to offer a controlling interest to a target business in order to achieve a tax-free reorganization. This lack of diversification should be considered a substantial risk in investing in us, because it will not permit us to offset potential losses from one venture against gains from another.
The Company anticipates that the selection of a business combination will be complex and extremely risky. Because of general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some industries and shortages of available capital, our management believes that there are numerous firms seeking the perceived benefits of becoming a publicly traded corporation. Such perceived benefits of becoming a publicly traded corporation include, among other things, facilitating or improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be obtained, providing liquidity for the principals of and investors in a business, creating a means for providing incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, and offering greater flexibility in structuring acquisitions, joint ventures and the like through the issuance of stock. Potentially available business combinations 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.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2012, the Company had assets equal to $23,151, comprised of cash and prepaid expenses. This compares with assets of $969 as of March 31, 2012, comprised exclusively of cash. The Company’s current liabilities as of September 30, 2012 totaled $2,750, comprised of accounts payable and accrued expenses. This compares with current liabilities of $800 as of March 31, 2012, comprised of accounts payable and accrued expenses. The Company can provide no assurance that it can continue to satisfy its cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.
The following is a summary of the Company's cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities:

The Company has only nominal assets and has generated no revenues since inception. The Company is also dependent upon the receipt of capital investment or other financing to fund its ongoing operations and to execute its business plan of seeking a combination with a private operating company. In addition, the Company is dependent upon certain related parties to provide continued funding and capital resources. If continued funding and capital resources are unavailable at reasonable terms, the Company may not be able to implement its plan of operations.
Results of Operations
The Company has not conducted any active operations since inception, except for its efforts to locate suitable acquisition candidates. No revenue has been generated by the Company from January 4, 2010 (Inception), through September 30, 2012. It is unlikely the Company will have any revenues unless it is able to effect an acquisition or merger with an operating company, of which there can be no assurance. It is management's assertion that these circumstances may hinder the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s plan of operation for the next twelve months shall be to continue its efforts to locate suitable acquisition candidates.
For the six months ended September 30, 2012, the Company had a net loss of $39,468, comprised of legal, accounting, audit and other professional service fees incurred in relation to the preparation and filing of the Company’s periodic reports.
For the six months ended September 30, 2011, the Company had a net loss of $15,058, comprised of legal, accounting, audit and other professional service fees incurred in relation to the preparation and filing of the Company’s periodic reports.
For the period from January 4, 2010 (Inception) to September 30, 2012, the Company had a net loss of $99,799, comprised exclusively of legal, accounting, audit and other professional service fees incurred in relation to the formation of the Company, the filing of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10 in August of 2010, and the filing of the Company’s periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Contractual Obligations
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide this information.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed pursuant to the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules, regulations and related forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of September 30, 2012, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Controls
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
There are presently no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company, any of its subsidiaries, any executive officer, any owner of record or beneficially of more than five percent of any class of voting securities is a party or as to which any of its property is subject, and no such proceedings are known to the Company to be threatened or contemplated against it.
An investment in the Company is highly speculative in nature and involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the following risk factors before investing in our securities. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be adversely affected.
Risks Related to our Business
We are a development stage company, and our future success is highly dependent on the ability of management to locate and attract a suitable acquisition which we may be unable to do.
We were incorporated in January 2010 and are considered to be in the development stage. The nature of our operations is highly speculative, and there is a consequent risk of loss of an investment in the Company. 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, if any. While management intends to seek business combination(s) with entities having established operating histories, we cannot provide any assurance 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.
Our business is difficult to evaluate because we have limited operating history.
As the Company has limited operating history, no revenue and limited assets, there is a risk that we will be unable to continue as a going concern and consummate a business combination. The Company has no revenues or earnings from operations since inception. We have limited assets and financial resources. We will, in all likelihood, sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues, at least until the consummation of a business combination. This may result in our incurring a net operating loss that will increase continuously until we can consummate a business combination with a profitable business opportunity. We cannot assure you that we can identify a suitable business opportunity and consummate a business combination.
We are likely to incur losses.
From inception, January 4, 2010, until September 30, 2012, we have incurred a loss of $99,799 and we expect that we will incur losses at least until we complete a business combination and perhaps after such combination as well. There can be no assurances that we will ever be profitable.
Our business may have no revenue unless and until we merge with or acquire an operating business.
We are a development stage company and have had no revenue from operations. We may not realize any revenue unless and until we successfully merge with or acquire an operating business.
There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully consummate a business combination.
We can give no assurances that we will successfully identify and evaluate suitable business opportunities or that we will conclude a business combination. There is no geographic or industrial limitation on our search for an appropriate business combination. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to negotiate a business combination with any entity on favorable terms.
Limited funds and lack of full-time management make it impracticable to conduct a complete and exhaustive investigation and analysis of a business opportunity and we may not discover or adequately evaluate adverse facts about the target company to be acquired.
Our limited funds and the lack of full-time management will likely make it impracticable to conduct a complete and exhaustive investigation and analysis of a business opportunity before we commit our capital or other resources to such opportunity. Management decisions, therefore, will likely be made without detailed feasibility studies, independent analysis, market surveys and the like which, if we had more funds, would be desirable. We will be particularly dependent in making decisions upon information provided by the promoter, owner, sponsor, or others associated with the business opportunity seeking our participation. A significant portion of our available funds may be expended for investigative expenses, legal fees and other expenses related to preliminary aspects of completing an acquisition transaction, whether or not any business opportunity investigated is eventually acquired.
14
Future success is highly dependent on the ability of management to locate and attract a suitable acquisition at which time the success of the acquisition may be dependent on many things out of our control.
The nature of our operations is highly speculative, and there is a consequent risk of loss of an investment in the Company. 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. 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.
The Company has not identified a specific potential acquisition target. Accordingly, an acquisition may not happen.
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. 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. Our flexibility in seeking, analyzing and participating in potential business opportunities will be restricted by our limited assets and access to financing. While we believe there may be numerous potential target businesses that we could acquire, our ability to compete in acquiring certain sizable target businesses will be limited by our available financial resources. Although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, we cannot assure that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risk factors.
We face a number of risks associated with potential acquisitions, including the possibility that we may incur substantial debt which could adversely affect our financial condition.
We intend to use reasonable efforts to complete a merger or other business combination with an operating business. Such combination will be accompanied by risks commonly encountered in acquisitions, including, but not limited to, difficulties in integrating the operations, technologies, products and personnel of the acquired companies and insufficient revenues to offset increased expenses associated with acquisitions. Failure to manage and successfully integrate acquisitions we make could harm our business, our strategy and our operating results in a material way. Additionally, completing a business combination is likely to increase our expenses and it is possible that we may incur substantial debt in order to complete a business combination, which could adversely affect our financial condition. Incurring a substantial amount of debt may require us to use a significant portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on the debt, which will reduce the amount available to fund working capital, capital expenditures, and other general purposes. Any indebtedness may negatively impact our ability to operate our business and limit our ability to borrow additional funds by increasing our borrowing costs, and impact the terms, conditions, and restrictions contained in possible future debt agreements, including the addition of more restrictive covenants; impact our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business as covenants and restrictions contained in possible future debt arrangements may require that we meet certain financial tests and place restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and place us at a disadvantage compared to similar companies in our industry that have less debt.
There is competition for those companies suitable for a merger transaction of the type contemplated by management.
The Company is 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.
There are relatively low barriers to becoming a blank check company or shell company, thereby increasing the competitive market for a small number of business opportunities.
There are relatively low barriers to becoming a blank check company or shell company. A newly incorporated company with a single stockholder and sole officer and director may become a blank check company or shell company by voluntarily subjecting itself to the SEC reporting requirements by filing and seeking effectiveness of a registration statement on Form 10 with the SEC, thereby registering its common stock pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act with the SEC. Assuming no comments to the Form 10 have been received from the SEC, the registration statement is automatically deemed effective 60 days after filing the Form 10 with the SEC. The relative ease and low cost with which a company can become a blank check or shell company can increase the already highly competitive market for a limited number of businesses that will consummate a successful business combination.
15
Management intends to devote only a limited amount of time to seeking a target company which may adversely impact our ability to identify a suitable acquisition candidate.
While seeking a business combination, management anticipates devoting very limited time, no more than five hours per week on average, to the Company’s affairs before a suitable target company is identified. Our officers have not entered into a written employment agreement with us and do not expected to do so in the foreseeable future. This limited commitment may adversely impact our ability to identify and consummate a successful business combination.
There may be conflicts of interest between our management and the non-management stockholders of the Company.
Currently, affiliates of our majority stockholder are also our officers and directors. However, if in the future shares of our common stock are held by additional members of management not associated with our stockholders, management may have an incentive to act adversely to the interests of the stockholders of the Company. A conflict of interest may arise between our management’s personal pecuniary interest and its fiduciary duty to our stockholders. In addition to this, our officers and directors are involved in other business activities and they may be presented with a business opportunity which would pose a conflict of interest with the business of the Company. The Company has not, as of the date hereof, developed a policy to deal with such conflicts. As a result, conflicts of interest can be resolved only through our officers and directors’ exercise of such judgment as is consistent with their fiduciary duties to the Company and they are legally required to make the decision based upon the best interests of the Company and the Company's other stockholders, rather than their own personal pecuniary benefit.
Reporting requirements under the Exchange Act and compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, including establishing and maintaining acceptable internal controls over financial reporting, are costly.
The Company has no business that produces revenues, however, the rules and regulations pursuant to the Exchange Act require a public company to provide periodic reports which will require that the Company engage legal, accounting and auditing services. The engagement of such services can be costly and the Company is likely to incur losses which may adversely affect the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Additionally, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 required that the Company establish and maintain adequate internal controls and procedures over financial reporting. The costs of complying with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the limited time that management will devote to the Company may make it difficult for the Company to establish and maintain adequate internal controls over financial reporting. In the event the Company fails to maintain an effective system of internal controls or discover material weaknesses in our internal controls, we may not be able to produce reliable financial reports or report fraud, which may harm our financial condition and result in loss of investor confidence and a decline in our share price.
The time and cost of preparing a private company to become a public reporting company may preclude us from entering into a merger or acquisition with the most attractive private companies.
Target companies that fail to comply with SEC reporting requirements may delay or preclude acquisition. Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act require reporting companies to provide certain information about significant acquisitions, including certified financial statements for the company acquired, covering one, two, or three years, depending on the relative size of the acquisition. The time and additional costs that may be incurred by some target entities to prepare these statements may significantly delay or essentially preclude consummation of an acquisition. Otherwise suitable acquisition prospects that do not have or are unable to obtain the required audited statements may be inappropriate for acquisition so long as the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act are applicable.
The Company may be subject to further government regulation which would adversely affect our operations.
Although we will be subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, we do not believe we will be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), since we will not be engaged in the business of investing or trading in securities. If we engage in business combinations which result in our holding passive investment interests in a number of entities, we could be subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act. If so, we would be required to register as an investment company and could be expected to incur significant registration and compliance costs. We have obtained no formal determination from the SEC as to our status under the Investment Company Act and, consequently, violation of the Investment Company Act could subject us to material adverse consequences.
16
Any potential acquisition or merger with a foreign company may subject us to additional risks.
If we enter into a business combination with a foreign company, we will be subject to risks inherent in business operations outside of the United States. These risks include, for example, currency fluctuations, regulatory problems, punitive tariffs, unstable local tax policies, trade embargoes, risks related to shipment of raw materials and finished goods across national borders and cultural and language differences. Foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the United States economy in growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, market development, rate of savings, and capital investment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments positions, and in other respects.
The Company may be subject to certain tax consequences in our business, which may increase our cost of doing business.
We may not be able to structure our acquisition to result in tax-free treatment for the companies or their stockholders, which could deter third parties from entering into certain business combinations with us or result in being taxed on consideration received in a transaction. Currently, a transaction may be structured so as to result in tax-free treatment to both companies, as prescribed by various federal and state tax provisions. We intend to structure any business combination so as to minimize the federal and state tax consequences to both us and the target entity; however, we cannot guarantee that the business combination will meet the statutory requirements of a tax-free reorganization or that the parties will obtain the intended tax-free treatment upon a transfer of stock or assets. A non-qualifying reorganization could result in the imposition of both federal and state taxes that may have an adverse effect on both parties to the transaction.
Because we may seek to complete a business combination through a “reverse merger,” following such a transaction we may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms.
Additional risks may exist since it is likely that we will assist a privately held business to become public through a “reverse merger.” Securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of our Company since there is no incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our Common Stock. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will want to conduct any secondary offerings on behalf of our post-merger company in the future.
Risks Related to our Stockholders and Shares of Common Stock
Our stockholders may have a minority interest in the Company following a business combination and the stockholders of the acquired company would therefore be able to control the election of our board and other major decisions relating to our Company
If we enter into a business combination with a company with a value in excess of the value of our Company, and issue shares of our Common Stock to the stockholders of such company as consideration for merging with us, our stockholders will likely own less than 50% of the Company after the business combination. The stockholders of the acquired company would therefore be able to control the election of our board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) and control our Company.
There is currently no trading market for our Common Stock, and liquidity of shares of our Common Stock is limited which would make it harder to sell Common Stock.
Shares of our Common Stock are not registered under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, and accordingly there is no public trading market for the Common Stock. Further, no public trading market is expected to develop in the foreseeable future unless and until the Company completes a business combination with an operating business and the Company thereafter files and obtains effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Therefore, outstanding shares of 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. Further, stockholders may rely on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 of the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), subject to certain restrictions, starting one year after (i) the completion of a business combination with a private company in a reverse merger or reverse takeover transaction after which the Company would cease to be a “shell company” (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) and (ii) the disclosure of certain information on a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days thereafter, and only if the Company has been current in all of its periodic SEC filings for the 12 months preceding the contemplated sale of stock. 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.
17
There are issues impacting liquidity of our securities with respect to the SEC’s review of a future resale registration statement which may preclude you from publicly selling your shares for some time unless they are registered.
Since our shares of Common Stock issued prior to a business combination cannot currently, nor will they for a considerable period of time after we complete a business combination, be available to be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred without being registered pursuant to the Securities Act, we will likely file a resale registration statement on Form S-1, or some other available form, to register for resale such shares of Common Stock. We cannot control this future registration process in all respects as some matters are outside our control. Even if we are successful in causing the effectiveness of the resale registration statement, there can be no assurances that the occurrence of subsequent events may not preclude our ability to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement. Any of the foregoing items could have adverse effects on the liquidity of our shares of Common Stock.
In addition, the SEC has recently disclosed that it has developed internal informal guidelines concerning the use of a resale registration statement to register the securities issued to certain investors in private investment in public equity (PIPE) transactions, where the issuer has a market capitalization of less than $75 million and, in general, does not qualify to file a Registration Statement on Form S-3 to register its securities. The SEC has taken the position that these smaller issuers may not be able to rely on Rule 415 under the Securities Act (“Rule 415”), which generally permits the offer and sale of securities on a continued or delayed basis over a period of time, but instead would require that the issuer offer and sell such securities in a direct or “primary” public offering, at a fixed price, if the facts and circumstances are such that the SEC believes the investors seeking to have their shares registered are underwriters and/or affiliates of the issuer.
Currently, our management beneficially owns 93% of all the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company and will therefore, effectively control any matters that may be put to a stockholder vote until a significant amount of shares are issued in the future.
An affiliate of our management currently beneficially own and vote 93% of all the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company. Consequently, management has the ability to influence control of the operations of the Company and, acting together, will have the ability to influence or control substantially all matters submitted to stockholders for approval, including:
●
|
Election of our Board of Directors;
|
●
|
Removal of directors;
|
●
|
Amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws; and
|
●
|
Adoption of measures that could delay or prevent a change in control or impede a merger, takeover or other business combination.

This stockholder has complete control over our affairs. Accordingly, this concentration of ownership by itself may have the effect of impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business consolidation, or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer for the Common Stock.
We have never paid dividends on our Common Stock, do not foresee paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future and, as a result, our investors’ sole source of gain, if any, will depend on capital appreciation, if any.
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 any funds available for payment of dividends will be re-invested into the Company to further its business strategy.
We expect to issue additional shares of common stock in our initial business combination, which will result in substantial dilution to the Company’s stockholders.
Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of a maximum of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock and a maximum of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). Any merger or acquisition effected by us may result in the issuance of additional securities without stockholder approval and may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our Common Stock held by our then existing stockholders. Moreover, the Common Stock issued in any such merger or acquisition transaction may be valued on an arbitrary or non-arm’s-length basis by our management, resulting in an additional reduction in the percentage of Common Stock held by our then existing stockholders. Our Board has the power to issue any or all of such authorized but unissued shares without stockholder approval. To the extent that additional shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock are issued in connection with a business combination or otherwise, dilution to the interests of our stockholders will occur and the rights of the holders of Common Stock might be materially adversely affected.

We will be deemed a blank check company under Rule 419 of the Securities Act of 1933. In any subsequent offerings, we will have to comply with Rule 419.
We are required to comply with the provisions of Rule 419 of the Securities Act in any registered offering of securities while we are a blank check or shell company. Pursuant to Rule 419 we will be required to deposit all funds in escrow pending the provision of advice about the proposed transaction to our stockholders fully disclosing all information required by Regulation 14 of the SEC and seeking the vote and agreement of those stockholders to whom such securities were offered. If no response is received from these stockholders within 45 days thereafter, or if any stockholder elects not to invest following our advice about the proposed transaction, all funds that must be held in escrow by us under Rule 419 will be promptly returned to any such stockholder. All securities issued in any such offering will likewise be deposited in escrow, pending satisfaction of the foregoing conditions. The funds held in escrow may be released to us and the securities may be delivered to the purchaser or other registered holder identified on the deposited securities only after the escrow agent has received both a signed representation from us as well as other evidence acceptable to the escrow agent that we have met the requirements of Rule 419 (e)(1) and (e)(2), and we have consummated an acquisition meeting the requirements of Rule 419 (e)(2)(iii) of the Securities Act. In addition, we are required to advise stockholders of a probable acquisition or when we execute an agreement to acquire a business. We intend to advise stockholders of a business combination by filing a post effective amendment to this registration statement as required by Rule 419.
The possible issuance in the future of preferred stock with preferential rights to the holders of Common Stock could adversely affect the holders of our Common Stock.
Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by the Board. Accordingly, our Board is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. The rights of the holders of our common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock that may be issued in the future. These adverse effects could include subordination to preferred stockholders in the payment of dividends and upon our liquidation and dissolution, and the use of preferred stock as an anti-takeover measure, which could impede a change in control that is otherwise in the interests of holders of our common stock. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of its authorized Preferred Stock, there can be no assurance that the Company will not do so in the future.
