PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Fona, Inc. (the "registrant" or "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the state of Minnesota in November 1990 under the name Fonahome Corporation. On March 24, 2009, the Company reincorporated in the state of Nevada and merged with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fona, Inc., adopting the surviving companys name, Fona, Inc. The Company was originally formed to develop and market an interactive information and advertising service.
Since December 1999, the Company has had no significant business operations other than licensing its internet-based Rent411 services to Desfaire, Inc. a company controlled by Nick T. Boosalis, a former officer and director of the Company. During the nine-year period ended December 31, 2007, the Companys aggregate revenues were approximately $409,000 consisting of license fees paid by Desfaire, Inc. and its aggregate operating losses were approximately $200,000. Approximately $454,000 of the Companys expenses during the nine-year period related to fees paid to third parties to provide the Rent411 services.
The Company has opted to become a "blank check" company and to further engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions.
On March 3, 2009, the Company held a shareholder meeting approving the Stock Purchase Agreement and an Agreement and Plan of Merger effectively changing the name of the Company to Fona Inc., a Nevada corporation (Re-incorporation Merger) and simultaneously adopting the capital structure of Fona Inc., which includes total authorized capital stock of 800,000,000 shares, of which 780,000,000 are common stock and 20,000,000 are blank check preferred stock. The preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series with such designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions there of, as shall be stated in the resolutions adopted by the Corporations Board providing for the issuance of such preferred stock or series thereof.
On March 3, 2009, the shareholders also approved and ratified a January 22, 2008 Assignment Agreement under which the Company assigned the software and other rights relating to its Rent411 services, including the license with Desfaire, Inc. and substantially all of its worldwide copyrights, trademarks and other assets, consisting of fully depreciated office equipment and furniture with nominal market value, to The Boosalis Group, Inc., a company owned by Nick T. Boosalis, in consideration for which The Boosalis Group, Inc. assumed outstanding indebtedness of the Company totaling $34,714 and the issuance of a total of 1,980,834 shares of the Companys common stock, including: 498,237 shares approved in December 2007 and 39,957 in December 2008 to Nick T. Boosalis for forgiveness of loans to the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $74,735 and $5,994, respectively; 322,047 shares approved in December 2007 to Richard Dillion, a former officer and director of the Company, for forgiveness of loans to the Company totaling $48,307; and 1,100,000 shares approved in December 2007 to Desfaire, Inc. for a cash payment of $11,000 and the payment on behalf of the Company of software development costs of more than $125,000.
On March 24, 2009, the Articles of Merger of Fonahome Corporation, a Minnesota Corporation, into Fona, Inc., a Nevada Corporation, were filed with the Nevada Secretary of State.
On April 1, 2009, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 3,954,950 shares of our common stock (representing 50.1% of our outstanding shares of common stock following the issuance of such stock), including 1,977,475 shares issued to each of Sanford Schwartz and Michael Friess, each subsequently elected an officer and director of the Company, in consideration for the payment by each of $10,000, $5,000 paid in cash and $5,000 paid by the issuance to the Company of a promissory note. The notes were paid in May, 2009. On April 1, 2009, following the stock issuances to Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Friess, there were 7,894,111 outstanding shares of our common stock.
On April 22, 2009, the Board of Directors accepted the resignation of Nick T Boosalis and appointed Michael Friess as President, CEO, and Chairman of the Board, Sanford Schwartz as Vice President and a director, and Chloe DiVita as Secretary, Treasurer, CFO and a director of the Company.
1
Since December 2007, the Company has had insignificant operations. As such, the Company may presently be defined as a "shell" company, whose sole purpose at this time is to locate and consummate a merger or acquisition with a private entity.
The Company has opted to register its common stock pursuant to section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in an effort to maximize shareholder value. The best use and primary attraction of the Company as a merger partner or acquisition vehicle will be its status as a reporting public company. Any business combination or transaction is expected to result in a significant issuance of shares and substantial dilution to present stockholders of the Company.
The proposed business activities described herein classify the Company as a "blank check" company. Many states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of securities of "blank check" companies in their respective jurisdictions. Management does not intend to undertake any additional offerings of the Company's securities, either debt or equity, until such time as the Company has successfully implemented its business plan described herein.
The Company maintains headquarters at the office of its President. The Companys Web site is www.fonainc.com. The Company is not required to deliver an annual report to security holders and at this time does not anticipate the distribution of such a report. The Company will file reports with the SEC.
The public may read and copy any materials the Company files with the SEC in the SECs Public Reference Section, Room 1580, 100 F Street N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Section by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. Additionally, the SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy, and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC, which can be found at http://www.sec.gov.
GENERAL BUSINESS PLAN
At this time, the Company's purpose is to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire an interest in business opportunities presented to it by persons or firms who seek or which desire to seek the perceived advantages of an Exchange Act registered corporation. The Company will not restrict its search to any specific business, industry, or geographical location and the Company may participate in a business venture of virtually any kind or nature. This discussion of the proposed business is intentionally general and is not meant to be restrictive of the Company's virtually unlimited discretion to search for and enter into potential business opportunities. Management anticipates that it may be able to participate in only one potential business venture because the Company has nominal assets and limited financial resources. See "FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA." This lack of diversification should be considered a substantial risk to shareholders of the Company because it will not permit the Company to offset potential losses from one venture against gains from another.
The Company may seek a business opportunity with entities which have recently commenced operations, or which wish to utilize the public marketplace in order to raise additional capital in order to expand into new products or markets, to develop a new product or service, or for other corporate purposes. The Company may acquire assets and establish wholly-owned subsidiaries in various businesses or acquire existing businesses as subsidiaries.
The Company intends to advertise and promote the Company privately. The Company has not yet prepared any notices or advertisements.
The Company anticipates that the selection of a business opportunity in which to participate will be complex and extremely risky. Due to general economic conditions, rapid technological advances being made in some industries and shortages of available capital, management believes that there are numerous firms seeking the perceived benefits of a publicly registered corporation. Such perceived benefits may include facilitating or improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be sought, providing liquidity for incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, providing liquidity (subject to restrictions of applicable statutes), for all shareholders and other factors.
2
The Company has, and will continue to have, little or no capital with which to provide the owners of business opportunities with any significant cash or other assets. However, management believes the Company will be able to offer owners of acquisition candidates the opportunity to acquire a controlling ownership interest in a publicly registered company without incurring the cost and time required to conduct an initial public offering. The owners of the business opportunities will, however, incur significant legal and accounting costs in connection with the acquisition of a business opportunity, including the costs of preparing Form 8-K's, 10-K's and 10-Q's, agreements and related reports and documents. The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), specifically requires that any merger or acquisition candidate comply with all applicable reporting requirements, which include providing audited financial statements to be included within the numerous filings relevant to complying with the Exchange Act. The officers and directors of the Company have not conducted market research and are not aware of statistical data which would support the perceived benefits of a merger or acquisition transaction for the owners of a business opportunity.
The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by, or under the supervision of, the officers and directors of the Company. Management intends to concentrate on identifying preliminary prospective business opportunities, which may be brought to its attention through present associations of the Company's officers and directors. In analyzing prospective business opportunities, management will consider such matters as the available technical, financial and managerial resources; working capital and other financial requirements; history of operations, if any; prospects for the future; nature of present and expected competition; the quality and experience of management services which may be available and the depth of that management; the potential for further research, development, or exploration; specific risk factors not now foreseeable but which then may be anticipated to impact the proposed activities of the Company; the potential for growth or expansion; the potential for profit; the perceived public recognition of acceptance of products, services, or trades; name identification; and other relevant factors. The Company will not acquire or merge with any company for which audited financial statements cannot be obtained prior to the closing of the proposed transaction.
The officers of the Company have limited experience in managing companies similar to the Company and shall rely upon their own efforts, in accomplishing the business purposes of the Company. The Company may from time to time utilize outside consultants or advisors to effectuate its business purposes described herein. No policies have been adopted regarding use of such consultants or advisors, the criteria to be used in selecting such consultants or advisors, the services to be provided, the term of service, or regarding the total amount of fees that may be paid. However, because of the limited resources of the Company, it is likely that any such fee the Company agrees to pay would be paid in stock and not in cash.
The Company will not restrict its search for any specific kind of firms, but may acquire a venture which is in its preliminary or development stage, which is already in operation, or in essentially any stage of its corporate life. It is impossible to predict at this time the status of any business in which the Company may become engaged, in that such business may need to seek additional capital, may desire to have its shares publicly traded, or may seek other perceived advantages which the Company may offer. However, the Company does not intend to obtain funds in one or more private placements to finance the operation of any acquired business opportunity until such time as the Company has successfully consummated such a merger or acquisition.
It is anticipated that the Company will require approximately $30,000 during the next 12 months to implement its business plan described herein. The Company has limited capital with which to pay these anticipated expenses. It is the intent of management to provide the working capital necessary to support and preserve the integrity of the Company but there is no legal obligation for management to provide any additional funding to the Company. The Company has not identified any alternative sources and there is substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
COMPETITION
The Company will remain an insignificant participant among the firms which engage in the acquisition of business opportunities. There are many established venture capital and financial concerns which have significantly greater financial and personnel resources and technical expertise than the Company. In view of the Company's extremely limited financial resources and limited management availability, the Company will continue to be at a significant competitive disadvantage compared to the Company's competitors.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
A. Conflicts of Interest. There are certain conflicts of interest between us and our officers and directors. They have other business interests to which they currently devote attention, and are expected to continue to do so. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise that can be resolved only through their exercise of judgment in a manner which is consistent with their fiduciary duties to the Company.
It is anticipated that our principal shareholders may actively negotiate or otherwise consent to the purchase of all or a portion of their common stock as a condition to, or in connection with, a proposed merger or acquisition transaction. In this process, our principal shareholders may consider their own personal pecuniary benefit rather than the best interests of our other shareholders, and the other shareholders are not expected to be afforded the opportunity to approve or consent to any particular stock buy-out transaction.
B. Need for Additional Financing. We have very limited funds, and such funds are unlikely to be adequate to take advantage of any available business opportunities. Even if our funds prove to be sufficient to acquire an interest in, or complete a transaction with, a business opportunity, we may not have enough capital to exploit the opportunity. Our ultimate success may depend upon our ability to raise additional capital. We have not investigated the availability, source, or terms that might govern the acquisition of additional capital and will not do so until we determine a need for additional financing.
If additional capital is needed, there is no assurance that funds will be available from any source or, if available, that they can be obtained on terms acceptable to us. If such funds are not available, our operations will be limited to those that can be financed with our modest capital.
C. Regulation of Penny Stocks. Our securities, when available for trading, will be subject to a Securities and Exchange Commission rule that imposes special sales practice requirements upon broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers or accredited investors. For purposes of the rule, the phrase "accredited investors" means, in general terms, institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000, or individuals having a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or having an annual income that exceeds $200,000 (or that, when combined with a spouse's income, exceeds $300,000). For transactions covered by the rule, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and also may affect the ability of our shareholders in this offering to sell their securities in any market that might develop.
Shareholders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange Commission Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) "boiler room" practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. The Company's management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.
D. No Operating History or Revenue and Minimal Assets. The Company has had no operating history nor any revenues or earnings from operations since 1999. The Company has no significant assets or significant financial resources. The Company will, in all likelihood, sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues, at least until the consummation of a business combination. This may result in the Company incurring a net operating loss which will increase continuously until the Company can consummate a business combination with a profitable business opportunity. There is no assurance that the Company can identify such a business opportunity and consummate such a business combination.
4
E. No Assurance of Success or Profitability. There is no assurance that we will acquire a business opportunity. Even if we should become involved in a business opportunity, there is no assurance that it will generate revenues or profits, or that the market price of our common stock will be increased thereby.
F. Possible Business - Not Identified and Highly Risky. We have not identified and have no commitments to enter into or acquire a specific business opportunity. Therefore we can disclose the risks and hazards of a business or opportunity that we may enter into in only a general manner, and cannot disclose the risks and hazards of any specific business or opportunity. An investor can expect a potential business opportunity to be quite risky. Our acquisition of or participation in a business opportunity will likely be highly illiquid and could result in a total loss to us and our shareholders if the business or opportunity proves to be unsuccessful.
G. Type of Business Acquired. The type of business to be acquired may be one that desires to avoid affecting its own public offering and the accompanying expense, delays, uncertainties, and federal and state requirements which purport to protect investors. Because of our limited capital, it is more likely than not that any acquisition will involve other parties whose primary interest is the acquisition of control of a publicly traded company. Moreover, any business opportunity acquired may be currently unprofitable or present other negative factors.
H. Impracticability of Exhaustive Investigation. 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 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 and other expenses related to preliminary aspects of completing an acquisition transaction, whether or not any business opportunity investigated is eventually acquired.
I. Lack of Diversification. Because of our limited financial resources, it is unlikely that we will be able to diversify our acquisitions or operations. This probable inability to diversify our activities into more than one area will subject us to economic fluctuations within a particular business or industry and therefore increase the risks associated with our operations.
J. Requirement of Audited Financial Statements May Disqualify Business Opportunities. Management of the Company believes that any potential business opportunity must provide audited financial statements for review, and for the protection of all parties to the business combination. One or more attractive business opportunities may choose to forego the possibility of a business combination with the Company, rather than incur the expenses associated with preparing audited financial statements.
K. Other Regulation. An acquisition we make may be of a business that is subject to regulation or licensing by federal, state, or local authorities. Compliance with such regulations and licensing can be expected to be a time-consuming, expensive process and may limit our other investment opportunities.
L. Dependence Upon Management; Limited Participation of Management. We will be heavily dependent upon the skills, talents, and abilities of our officers and directors to implement our business plan, and may, from time to time, find that the inability of such persons to devote their full-time attention to our business results in a delay in progress toward implementing our business plan. Furthermore, we will be entirely dependent upon the experience of our officers and directors in seeking, investigating, and acquiring a business and in making decisions regarding our operations. Because investors will not be able to evaluate the merits of our possible business acquisitions, they should critically assess the information concerning our officers and directors.
M. Lack of Continuity in Management. The Company does not have an employment agreement with any of its officers or directors, and as a result, there is no assurance that they will continue to manage the Company in the future. In connection with the acquisition of a business opportunity, it is likely the current officers and directors of the Company will resign. A decision to resign will be based upon the identity of the business opportunity and the nature of the transaction, and is likely to occur without the vote or consent of the shareholders of the Company.
5
N. Indemnification of Officers and Directors. Our Articles of Incorporation provide that we will indemnify our directors, officers, employees, and agents to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. We will also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of our directors, officers, employees, or agents, upon such person's promise to repay us if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures which we may be unable to recoup.
O. Dependence Upon Outside Advisors. To supplement the business experience of our officers and directors, we may be required to employ accountants, technical experts, appraisers, attorneys, or other consultants or advisors. The selection of any such advisors will be made by our officers without any input from shareholders. Furthermore, it is anticipated that such persons may be engaged on an "as needed" basis without a continuing fiduciary or other obligation to the Company. In the event management considers it necessary to hire outside advisors, they may elect to hire persons who are affiliates, if they are able to provide the required services.
P. Leveraged Transactions. There is a possibility that any acquisition of a business opportunity we make may be leveraged, i.e., we may finance the acquisition of the business opportunity by borrowing against the assets of the business opportunity to be acquired, or against the projected future revenues or profits of the business opportunity. This could increase our exposure to losses. A business opportunity acquired through a leveraged transaction is profitable only if it generates enough revenues to cover the related debt and expenses. Failure to make payments on the debt incurred to purchase the business opportunity could result in the loss of a portion or all of the assets acquired. There is no assurance that any business opportunity acquired through a leveraged transaction will generate sufficient revenues to cover the related debt and expenses.
Q. Competition. The search for potentially profitable business opportunities is intensely competitive. We expect to be at a disadvantage when competing with many firms that have substantially greater financial and management resources and capabilities than we do. These competitive conditions will exist in any industry in which we may become interested.
R. No Foreseeable Dividends. We have not paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future.
S. Loss of Control by Present Management and Shareholders. We may consider an acquisition in which we would issue as consideration for the business opportunity to be acquired, an amount of our authorized but unissued common stock that would, upon issuance, represent the great majority of the voting power and equity of the Company. The result of such an acquisition would be that the acquired company's shareholders and management would control the Company, and our management could be replaced by persons unknown at this time. Such a merger would result in a greatly reduced percentage of ownership by our current shareholders.
T. Limited Public Market Exists. There is only a very limited public market for our common stock, and no assurance can be given that an active market will develop or that a shareholder ever will be able to liquidate his investment without considerable delay, if at all. If a market should develop, the price may be highly volatile. Factors such as those discussed in this "Risk Factors" section may have a significant impact upon the market price of our securities. Because of the low price of the securities, many brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions in the securities. Even if a purchaser finds a broker willing to effect a transaction in our securities, the combination of brokerage commissions, state transfer taxes, if any, and any other selling costs may exceed the selling price. Further, many lending institutions will not permit the use of such securities as collateral for any loans.
U. Concerns regarding the current economic situation. The United States and the global business community is experiencing severe instability in the commercial and investment banking systems which is likely to continue to have far-reaching effects on the economic activity in the country for an indeterminable period. The long-term impact on the United States economy and the Companys operating activities and ability to raise capital cannot be predicted at this time, but may be substantial.
V. Potential Acquisitions. 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 payment positions, and in other respects.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DICUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULT OF OPERATIONS
Overview
The Company generated no revenues during the year ended December 31, 2013, and management does not anticipate any revenues until following the conclusion of a merger or acquisition, if any, as contemplated by the Companys business plan.
The Company has limited capital. The Company anticipates operational costs will be limited until the conclusion of a merger or acquisition, if any.
At December 31, 2013, the Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures.
General
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 a business rather than immediate, short-term earnings. The Company will not restrict our potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location and, thus, may acquire any type of business.
8
The Company does not currently engage in any business activities that provide cash flow. The Company may consider 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.
None of our officers or our directors has had any direct and/or preliminary contact or discussions with any representative of any other entity 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.
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.
The Company has no operating history as a "blank check" company and no material assets. At December 31, 2013 the Company had an accumulated deficit (including accumulated deficit during the development stage) of ($1,306,750) and a working capital deficit ($77,171). The report of the Companys registered public accountants for the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 included a going concern qualification.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. The Companys disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be included in the Companys reports to the Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Commission rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Companys principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the period covered by this report, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are not effective at these reasonable assurance levels for the reasons stated below.
Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable cost-effective assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. There is no assurance that our disclosure controls or our internal controls over financial reporting can prevent all errors. An internal control system, no matter how well designed and operated, has inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error may occur and not be detected. We monitor our disclosure controls and internal controls and make modifications as we believe appropriate given our financial resources and limited level of activities. Our intent in this regard is that our disclosure controls and our internal controls will improve as systems change and conditions warrant.
Managements Annual 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 internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Furthermore, smaller reporting companies such as the Company face additional limitations. Smaller reporting companies employ fewer individuals and find it difficult to properly segregate duties. Often, one or two individuals control every aspect of the Companys operation and are in a position to override any system of internal control. Additionally, smaller reporting companies tend to utilize general accounting software packages that lack a rigorous set of software controls.
Our management, with the participation of the President, evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control Integrated Framework. Based on this evaluation, our management, with the participation of the President, concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to the material weaknesses in the system of internal control described below.
10
Specifically, management identified the following control deficiencies. (1) The Company has not properly segregated duties as one or two individuals initiate, authorize, and complete all transactions. The Company has not implemented measures that would prevent the individuals from overriding the internal control system. The Company does not believe that this control deficiency has resulted in deficient financial reporting because the Chief Financial Officer is aware of her responsibilities under the SECs reporting requirements and personally certifies the financial reports. (2) The Company has installed accounting software that does not prevent erroneous or unauthorized changes to previous reporting periods and does not provide an adequate audit trail of entries made in the accounting software.
Accordingly, while the Company has identified certain material weaknesses in its system of internal control over financial reporting, it believes that it has taken reasonable cost-effective steps to ascertain that the financial information contained in this report is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management has determined that current resources would be appropriately applied elsewhere and when resources permit, they will alleviate material weaknesses through various steps.
(b) Changes in internal controls.
Our Certifying Officers have indicated that there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or other factors that could significantly affect such controls subsequent to the date of his evaluation, and there were no such control actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

Previous Blank-Check Experience
Mr. Michael Friess, President and a director and executive officer of the Company, Mr. Sanford Schwartz a director of the Company, and Mrs. Chloe DiVita, CFO and director of the Company, have all been involved either as an officer or director, or both, with other blank-check companies, which have completed some form of corporate reorganization. To date, Mr. Friess and Mr. Schwartz have acquired a majority interest in six companies, in addition to the Company, that had no significant assets or business operations, obtained the management, accounting and legal services and provided the funds required to register the common stock of each of the companies pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, if necessary, to satisfy outstanding obligations of the company and found private investors or private operating companies interested in merging an operating company with the company. Typically, Mr. Friess and Mr. Schwartz have then sold all or substantially all of their interests in the company to the parties interested in merging a private operating company with the company. Mrs. DiVita has served as Secretary, CFO and a director of three of the six companies. The officers and directors of the Company intend to work on developing additional registered blank check companies. The following is a list of the blank-check companies with which the Company's officers and directors have previously been involved during the last five years:
Hemcure, Inc. (HMCU), Commission File #000-51543, initially registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission in May of 1987, was organized to provide administrative and marketing services to physicians or physician groups who emphasized outpatient non-surgical treatment for hemorrhoids.

Current officers and directors of Fona, Inc. are not currently officers, directors or employees of ARAU and, therefore, have no direct knowledge of the business operations or possible pending acquisition, business combinations or mergers of ARAU. According to an 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 31, 2013 ARAU filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California in Santa Ana case number 8:12-bk-24400-MW on December 21, 2012.

During July 2007, they sold all of their shares of IMLT to private investors for $582,500 and IMLT became Oasis Online Technologies Corp listed on the OTCBB symbol (OOLN), a company seeking acquisitions in the online security and authentication market. Current officers and directors of Fona, Inc. are not currently officers, directors or employees of OOLN and, therefore, have no direct knowledge of the business operations or possible pending acquisition, business combinations or mergers of OOLN. OOLN appeared to be current in all of its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission through May, 2013, and on November 27, 2013 filed a Form 15-12G terminating its filing requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Discovery Technologies, Inc. (DSVY), Commission File #000-18606, initially registered in 1987, was formed to design, manufacture and market video products that transmit pictures over standard voice-grade telephone lines.

Immediately following the transaction, Mr. Friess and Mr. Schwartz owned 444,498 shares of ZHYPs common stock (representing approximately 1% of ZHYPs then outstanding shares of common stock). Current officers and directors of the Company are not currently officers or directors or employees of ZHYP and, therefore, have no direct knowledge of the business operations or possible pending acquisitions, business combinations or merger of ZHYP. ZHYP appeared to be current in all of its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission through May, 2009, and has since moved the Company from the United States and filed a Form 15-12G terminating its filing requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

P I Services, Inc. (PISV), Commission File #000-53263, had its initial public offering in September 1988. The company was formed as Sweet Little Deal.

Immediately following the transaction, Mr. Friess and Mr. Schwartz owned a total of 1,330,468 shares of CLTTs common stock (approximately 3% of CLTTs then outstanding shares of common stock). Current officers and directors of the Company are not currently officers or directors or employees of CLTT and, therefore, have no direct knowledge of the business operations or possible pending acquisitions, business combinations or merger of CLTT. CLTT appeared to be current in all of its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission through May 2012. On September 20, 2013 the Securities and Exchange Commission revoked CLTTs registration for violating Exchange Act Section 12(a) and Rules 13a-1 and 13a-13.
Conflicts of Interest
The Company's officers and directors have in the past and may in the future be officers and directors of other companies of a similar nature and with a similar purpose as the Company. Consequently, there are potential inherent conflicts of interest in Messrs. Friess and Schwartz and Mrs. DiVita serving as officers and directors of the Company. Insofar as the officers and directors are engaged in other business activities, management anticipates it will devote only a minor amount of time to the Company's affairs. The officers and directors of the Company may in the future become shareholders, officers or directors of other companies which may be formed for the purpose of engaging in business activities similar to those conducted by the Company. The Company does not currently have a right of first refusal pertaining to opportunities that come to management's attention even if the opportunities relate to the Company's proposed business operations.
14
The officers and directors are, so long as they are officers or directors of the Company, subject to the restriction that all opportunities contemplated by the Company's plan of operation which come to their attention in the performance of their duties as officers and directors of the Company will be considered opportunities of, and be made available to the Company. However, they are under no obligation to make any opportunities that come to their attention in the performance of their duties for any other companies or in any other manner available to the Company. Except as set forth above, the Company has not adopted any other conflict of interest policy with respect to such transactions.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
None of the Company's officers and/or directors receives any compensation for their respective services rendered to the Company, nor have they received such compensation since the renewal of the Company's charter. They have agreed to act without compensation until authorized by the Board of Directors, which is not expected to occur until the Company has generated revenues from operations after consummation of a merger or acquisition. As of the date of this registration statement, the Company has minimal funds available to pay directors. Further, none of the directors are accruing any compensation pursuant to any agreement with the Company.
It is possible that, after the Company successfully consummates a merger or acquisition with an unaffiliated entity, that entity may desire to employ or retain one or more members of the Company's management for the purposes of providing services to the surviving entity, or otherwise provide other compensation to such persons. However, the Company has adopted a policy whereby the offer of any post-transaction remuneration to members of management will not be a consideration in the Company's decision to undertake any proposed transaction. Each member of management has agreed to disclose to the Company's Board of Directors any discussions concerning possible compensation to be paid to them by any entity which proposes to undertake a transaction with the Company and further, to abstain from voting on such transaction. Therefore, as a practical matter, if each member of the Company's Board of Directors is offered compensation in any form from any prospective merger or acquisition candidate, the proposed transaction will not be approved by the Company's Board of Directors as a result of the inability of the Board to affirmatively approve such a transaction.
It is possible that persons associated with management may refer a prospective merger or acquisition candidate to the Company. In the event the Company consummates a transaction with any entity referred by associates of management, it is possible that such an associate will be compensated for their referral. It is anticipated that this compensation would be either in the form of restricted common stock issued by the Company as part of the terms of the proposed transaction, or will be in the form of cash consideration. However, if such compensation is in the form of cash, such payment will be tendered by the acquisition or merger candidate, because the Company has minimal cash available. The amount of such compensation, if any, cannot be determined as of the date of this registration statement.
No retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock option or insurance programs or other similar programs have been adopted by the Registrant for the benefit of its employees.

Includes 618,039 shares owned by The Boosalis Group, the sole shareholder of which is Mr. Boosalis and 1,100,000 shares owned by Desfaire, Inc., 99% of the common stock of which is owned by Mr. Boosalis.
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS, RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
No officer, director, promoter, or affiliate of the Company has or proposes to have any direct or indirect material interest in any asset that we propose to acquire through security holdings, contracts, options, or otherwise.
We may pay any consulting or finder's fee for consulting services to assist management in evaluating a prospective business opportunity in stock or in cash. Any such issuance of stock would be made on an ad hoc basis. Accordingly, we are unable to predict whether or in what amount such a stock issuance might be made.
We maintain a mailing address at the offices of our president, Michael Friess, located at 2575 Pearl St, #220, Boulder, CO, 80302 for which we pay no rent. We anticipate that following the consummation of a business combination with an acquisition candidate, our office will be moved, but cannot predict future office or facility arrangements with our officers, directors or affiliates.
Nick T. Boosalis, and companies he control, own together 28.58% of the Companys outstanding shares of common stock and Michael Friess and Sanford Schwartz each own 25.05 % of the Companys outstanding shares of common stock. Prior to Mr. Friess and Mr. Schwartzs purchases of the Companys common stock in April 2009, Mr. Boosalis owned approximately 57% of the Companys then outstanding common stock. Since the purchase of their shares, Mr. Friess and Mr. Schwartz own approximately 50.1% of the Companys current outstanding common stock.
16
Although we have no current plans to do so, it is possible that we may enter into an agreement with an acquisition candidate requiring the sale of all or a portion of the common stock held by our largest shareholders and their affiliates to the acquisition candidate or principals thereof, or to other individuals or business entities, or requiring some other form of payment to our current shareholders, or requiring the future employment of specified officers and payment of salaries to them. It is more likely than not that any sale of securities by our current shareholders to an acquisition candidate would be at a price substantially higher than that originally paid by such shareholders. Any payment to current shareholders in the context of an acquisition in which we are involved would be determined entirely by the largely unforeseeable terms of a future agreement with an unidentified business entity. On April 1, 2009, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of 3,954,950 shares of our common stock to two individuals, (Sanford Schwartz and Michael Friess), who subsequently were appointed officers and directors of the Company for a $10,000 cash payment and a note for an additional $10,000. The note was satisfied in May, 2009. This resulted in a change in control in the Company.
Since December 2008 and ending June 30, 2010, Nick Boosalis, a former director, and The Boosalis Group and Desfaire, Inc., affiliates of Mr. Boosalis, loaned the Company a total of $5,488 to pay general working capital expenses of the Company. In October 2011 a $5,000 payment was made to Nick Boosalis and in April 2012 a final payment was made settling the loan. Additionally, since August 2008, Creative Business Strategies, LLC an affiliate of Sanford Schwartz, an officer and director of the Company, has loaned the Company a total of $76,512 to pay general working capital expenses of the Company, including costs associated with the filing of this registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The loans are non-interest bearing and are payable on demand.
On March 3, 2009, the shareholders of the company approved the issuance of 1,980,834 shares of our common stock to officers and directors of the Company, including 538,194 shares to Nick t. Boosalis (of which 498,237 were approved by the Board in December 2007 and 39,957 were approved by the Board in December 2008), then a director and officer of the Company, for forgiveness of loans to the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $74,735 and $5,994 respectively; 322,047 shares to Richard Dillion (which were approved by the Board in December 2007), then an officer and director of the Company, for forgiveness of loans to the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $48,307; and 1,100,000 shares to Desfaire, Inc. (which were approved by the Board in December 2007), a company 99% of the common stock of which is owned by Mr. Boosalis, for a cash payment of $11,000 and the payment by Desfaire on behalf of the Company of software development costs of more than $125,000. No payments of interest or principal or interest were made by the Company since January 1, 2008.
On March 3, 2009, the shareholders of the Company approved and ratified a January 22, 2008, Assignment Agreement pursuant to which the Company assigned the software and other rights relating to the Rent411 services offered by the Company, including a license to Desfaire, Inc., an affiliate of Nick T. Boosalis, then an officer and director of the Company, and substantially all of the worldwide copyrights, trademarks and other assets of the Company to the Boosalis Group, a company owned by Mr. Boosalis, in consideration for which The Boosalis Group assumed outstanding indebtedness of the Company totaling $34,714.
Securities issued by blank check companies cannot be resold under Rule 144, but must be registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The Company has no obligation to register these or any other shares under the Securities Act of 1933.
The proposed business activities described herein classify the Company as a "blank check" company. Many states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the sale of securities of "blank check" companies in their respective jurisdictions. Management does not intend at this time to undertake any efforts to cause a market to develop in the Company's securities until such time as the Company has successfully implemented its business plan described herein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors
Fona, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Fona, Inc. (a Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of operations, stockholders (deficit), and cash flows for the two years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, and for the period from August 1, 2008 (date of commencement of development stage) through December 31, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide 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 Fona, Inc. (a Development Stage Company) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the two years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, and for the period from August 1, 2008 (date of commencement of development stage) through December 31, 2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 1, the Company has no business operations and has negative working capital and stockholders deficits, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plan in regard to this matter is also discussed in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

FONA, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2013 and 2012
(1) Summary of Accounting Policies, and Description of Business
This summary of significant accounting policies of Fona, Inc. (Company), a Development Stage Company, is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
(a) Organization and Description of Business
The Company was incorporated as Fonahome Corporation in 1990 under the laws of the State of Minnesota. On March 3, 2009, the Company held a shareholder meeting approving a migratory merger to Nevada and a name change to Fona, Inc., which became effective March 24, 2010.
The Company initially developed and marketed an interactive information and advertising service, but ceased all major operations in December, 1999. Currently the Company is a Development Stage Company with plans to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions.
Effective August 1, 2008, the Company commenced activities to become a reporting company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with the intention to become a publicly trading company.
(b) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(c) Per Share Information
Earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is not shown for periods in which the Company incurs a loss because it would be anti-dilutive.
(d) Basis of Presentation - Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has no business operations and has negative working capital and stockholders deficits, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
In view of these matters, realization of certain of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its financial requirements, raise additional capital, and the success of its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company has financed its operations primarily through cash advances from a related party, which has advanced the Company a total of $76,512 for working capital on an as needed basis, including $13,695 during the year ended December 31, 2013. There is no assurance that these advances will continue in the future.
Management has opted to resume the filing of Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reporting documentation and then to seek a business combination. Management believes that this plan provides an opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

(1) Summary of Accounting Policies, Continued
(e) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued during 2013 and 2012, none of which are expected to a have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, operations or cash flows.
(f) Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to substantial business risks and uncertainties inherent in starting a new business. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a business combination.
(g) Revenue Recognition
It is the Company's policy that revenue is recognized in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, "Revenue Recognition." Under SAB 104, product revenues (or service revenues) are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred (or service has been performed), the sales price is fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
(h) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to consist of cash on hand and demand deposits in banks with an initial maturity of 90 days or less.
(i) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ASC Subtopic 825-10 ("ASC 825-10"), "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments." ASC 825-10 requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments when it is practicable to estimate that value. The carrying amount of the Company's cash, cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and accounts payable-related party approximate their estimated fair values due to their short-term maturities.
(j) Income Taxes
The Company records deferred taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the use of assets and liability method of accounting for income taxes. The statement requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are carried in the financial statements, the effect of net operating losses, based upon the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
(k) Development stage
Based upon the Company's business plan, it is a development stage enterprise since planned principal operations have not yet commenced. Accordingly, the Company presents its financial statements in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America that apply in establishing operating enterprises. As a development stage enterprise, the Company discloses the deficit accumulated during the development stage and the cumulative statements of operations and cash flows from commencement of development stage to the current balance sheet date. The development stage began August 1, 2008 when the Company commenced the process to become a publicly reporting company.

(1) Summary of Accounting Policies, Continued
(l) Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject the company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. At December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had no amounts of cash or cash equivalents in financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by agencies of the U.S. Government.
(m) Reclassification
Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to current presentation.
(n) Other
The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.
The Company has paid no dividends.
No advertising expense has been incurred.
The Company consists of one reportable business segment.
The Company has not entered into any leases.
(2) Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary timing differences in the recognition of income and expenses for financial reporting and tax purposes. The Companys deferred tax assets consist entirely of the benefit from net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards, limited by the value of the shell. The net operating loss carry forward if not used, will expire in various years through 2032, and is severely restricted as per the Internal Revenue code if there is a change in ownership. The Companys deferred tax assets are offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of the realization of the net operating loss carry forwards. Net operating loss carry forwards may be further limited by other provisions of the tax laws. Our income tax returns are no longer subject to Federal tax examinations by tax authorities for years before December 31, 2010.
The Companys deferred tax assets, valuation allowance, and change in valuation allowance are as follows:
