ASIA8, INC. Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)
September 30, 2013
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND HISTORY
Asia8, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada as “H&L Investments, Inc.” in September of 1996. On December 22, 1999 the Company changed its name to “Asia4sale.com, Inc.” on acquiring Asia4Sale.com, Ltd., a Hong Kong registered software development company. The Company sold Asia4Sale.com, Ltd. in January of 2005.
The Company acquired a 49% interest in World Wide Auctioneers, Inc., a Nevada registered corporation, holding 100% of a British Virgin Island registered company World Wide Auctioneers, Ltd (“World Wide”), an international equipment auction company on June 30, 2000. World Wide, based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) holds unreserved auctions on a consignment basis for the sale of construction, industrial and transportation equipment. On August 8, 2003 World Wide Auctioneers, Inc. sold 100% of World Wide to a Nevada registered company, WWA Group, Inc. (“WWA Group”) in a stock exchange transaction. The stock exchange caused the Company to acquire a minority equity investment in WWA Group which it accounted for using the equity method. WWA Group sold World Wide to Seven International Holdings, Ltd. (“Seven”), a Hong Kong registered company, on October 31, 2010, in exchange for Seven’s assumption of the assets and liabilities of World Wide subject to certain exceptions. The disposition did not affect WWA Group’s interest in Asset Forum, LLC., its ownership of proprietary on-line auction software or its equity interest and debt position in Infrastructure Developments Corp. (“Infrastructure”). On March 26, 2012, the Company sold 3,240,000 shares from its investment in WWA Group at a price of $0.025 per share, for a net amount of $81,000. On May 20, 2012 the Company divested itself of an additional 2,412,408 shares of WWA Group to settle a net amount of $109,048 in debt. At September 30, 2013 the Company did not own substantial shareholding in WWA Group and therefore did not record its share in the profit and loss of WWA Group for the period ended September 30, 2013.
The Company maintains the exclusive rights to distribute Unic Cranes, Atomix boats and Renhe Mobile House products or “Wing Houses” in the UAE though it has since discontinued distribution efforts in relation to the Unic Crane and Atomix boat products.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, they do not include any adjustments relating to the realization of the carrying value of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company has accumulated losses and working capital and cash flows from operations are negative which raises doubt as to the validity of the going concern assumptions. These financials do not include any adjustments to the carrying value of the assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses and balance sheet classifications used that would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate; such adjustments could be material.

NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Our interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S.GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial statements and
accounting policies, consistent, in all material respects with those applied in preparing our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation, have been included.
Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013 or any future period.

NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
c. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward exists, with the purpose of reducing diversity in practice. This new standard requires the netting of unrecognized tax benefits against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carry forward that would apply in settlement of the uncertain tax positions. The new guidance is effective for us beginning January 1, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently in the process of determining the impact on our financial position.
In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance on disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI"). This new guidance requires entities to present (either on the face of the income statement or in the notes) the effects on the line items of the income statement for amounts reclassified out of AOCI. The new guidance is effective for us beginning January 1, 2013. We adopted the guidance during the first quarter of 2013 and there was no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In July 2012, the FASB issued amendments to the indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment guidance which provides an option for companies to use a qualitative approach to test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment if certain conditions are met. The amendments are effective for annual and interim indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. We adopted the amended accounting guidance during the first quarter of 2013 and there was no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements
NOTE 4- EQUITY INVESTMENT
In August 2000 the Company paid $970,000 cash to acquire 49% of World Wide Auctioneers, Inc., a Nevada registered company holding 100% of British Virgin Island registered company World Wide Auctioneers, Ltd. (“World Wide”). In August 2003 World Wide Auctioneers, Inc., sold 100% of World Wide to WWA Group in a stock for stock transaction whereby the stock of WWA Group was issued directly to owners of World Wide Auctioneers, Inc. The Company was issued 7,525,000 shares of WWA Group in 2003, comprising 47.5% of the issued and outstanding stock of WWA Group. At December 31, 2011 the Company owned 32% of the issued and outstanding shares of WWA Group. On March 26, 2012, the Company sold 3,240,000 out of its investment in WWA Group shares at a price of $0.025 per share, for a net amount of $81,000. At March 31, 2012, the Company owned 16% of the issued and outstanding WWA Group common stock. At April 15, 2012 the Company divested itself of 2,412,408 shares out of its investment in WWA Group shares to settle $109,049 in various debts. As a result the Company does not own a substantial shareholding in WWA Group and therefore no longer records its share in the profit and loss of WWA Group for the period ended September 30, 2013.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other parts of this quarterly report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,” “plans,” “predicts,” and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include but are not limited to those discussed in the subsection entitled Forward-Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition below. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included in this report. All information presented herein is based on our period ended September 30, 2013. Our fiscal year end is December 31.
Discussion and Analysis
General
The Company’s current focus is to work towards our acquisition of Emerging Market Property Advisors Ltd. (“EMP”). On May 16, 2012 our board of directors caused us to enter into a Share Exchange Agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of EMP in exchange for a forty nine percent (49%) interest in the Company’s common stock. The transaction is subject to shareholder approval and `requires us to obtain audited financial statements for EMP, which accounts are currently in process.
EMP is involved in the internet marketing of a wide range of international real estate investment opportunities through lead generation, email marketing campaigns and property showings to buyers around the world. Sellers are also offered assistance with corporate identity, web development and enhanced graphics to build awareness of the opportunities presented.
Despite the decrease in our equity interest in WWA Group Inc. (“WWA Group”) and its agreement to be acquired by Summit Digital, Inc., we continue to work with WWA Group and Infrastructure Development Corporation (“Infrastructure”) to leverage those relationships to develop the distribution of Wing House mobile shelter systems. We anticipate that we will require additional capital to market this business and recognize that the economic downturn in the global economy has decreased demand for our products that depend on the vitality of the construction sector industry.
Distribution Rights
We are displaying and using Wing House office units on the internet and in a yard in Thailand while actively marketing the units by email. We are offering the units for sale or rental on a 60 day delivery schedule from order date. We are negotiating financing with the manufacturer to spur sales efforts though demand for this type of housing has receded. Infrastructure may continue to tender contracts in Asia that may lead to more “in house” created demand for the units. The Company and Infrastructure will share gross profits made on any sales or rentals generated by Infrastructure’s efforts.
WWA Group Equity Interest
Since the relationship between the Company and WWA Group is one of common management control, we benefit from the contacts and business development opportunities generated by its business activities. We intend to provide additional business support to WWA Group as necessary to help grow the value of our remaining equity interest, and to provide us opportunities generated by WWA Group.
Infrastructure
11
Even though WWA Group no longer maintains a consolidated equity interest in Infrastructure, we continue to believe that despite competitive pricing pressures, a significant number of projects will fall within the criteria expressed by Infrastructure and that alternative fuel conversions will become widespread as fuel prices rise and fueling infrastructure becomes available.
Since Infrastructure shares common management with the Company we believe that there exists an opportunity to utilize our international presence and existing relationships to assist Infrastructure in procuring new projects and managing existing ones. We expect to continue to work with Infrastructure on an as needed basis to provide any assistance that might be required and within our ability to assist.
Asset Forum LLC.
On May 1, 2012 WWA Group abandoned efforts to commercialize the operations of Asset Forum LLC. due to a lack of sufficient resources to develop the site and intense completion in the online auction space.
Expansion Plans into other Businesses
The Company has signed a Share Exchange Agreement to acquire EMP, a UK limited liability company in a stock for stock exchange transaction that is involved in the marketing of international real estate opportunities to prospective investors through the internet. EMP offers lead generation, email marketing campaigns and property showings to a variety of clients that are intent on presenting a wide array of real estate investment options to international investors. Clients are also offered assistance with corporate identity, web development and enhanced graphics to build awareness of the opportunities presented. Since 2005 EMP has consistently increased its revenue stream, grown gross profit margins, and established a loyal customer base. The transaction is intended as a stock exchange whereby the Company will acquire EMP as a wholly owned subsidiary that will continue to operate as an autonomous unit. We expect to close the transaction in the 3nd quarter of 2013 subject to shareholder approval.
Financial Condition and Business Development Risks
Our financial condition and results of operations will depend primarily on prospective income generated from our investments and/or expansion businesses. Meanwhile, our continued operation is tied to our ability to realize debt or equity financing. Since the Company is currently without income it can provide no assurance that income will be forthcoming or in the event income is realized that such return will provide sufficient cash flows to sustain our operations.
Our business development strategy is prone to significant risks and uncertainties which are having an immediate impact on our efforts to realize net cash flow. We have a limited history of generating income. Should we be unable to generate income, the Company’s ability to continue its business operations will be in jeopardy.
Results of Operations
During the period ending September 30, 2013, the Company failed to realize revenues from the sale of its products, which failure resulted in a continuation of net losses for the period. Nevertheless, the Company remains optimistic that Wing Houses are in demand, and that a global economic recovery in 2013 alongside the efforts of Infrastructure will generate sales of Wing Houses.
12
Revenue
Revenue for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 was zero. The lack of revenues over the comparative periods can be primarily attributed to the effect that a global recession has had on the demand for Wing Houses. We expect revenue from the sale of Wing Houses in future periods with a return to economic normalization, and in connection with the anticipated acquisition of EMP.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2013, were $3,208 as compared to
$7,338 for the three month period ended September 30, 2012. Operating expenses for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 were $13,935 as compared to $66,792 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in expenses over the comparative three and nine month periods can be attributed to a decrease in general and administrative expenses. We expect that operating expenses will increase in future periods as funds become available for marketing Wing Houses and in connection with the anticipated acquisition of EMP
Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 were $0. Depreciation and amortization expenses are not anticipated in future periods.
Other Income (Expenses)
Other income for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 and September 2012 was $0. Other income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 were $0 as compared to other income of $27,690 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012. The absence of other expense in the current period can be primarily attributed to the lack of losses recognized in the prior comparative periods as a result of consolidating our equity investment in WWA Group. Since we no longer consolidate our equity interests we expect to return to other income in future periods.
Net Income (Losses)
Net loss for the three month period ended September 30, 2013, were $3,208 as compared to a net loss of $7,338 for the three month period ended September 30, 2012. Net losses for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 were $13,935 as compared to $39,101 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in net losses in the current nine month periods respectively can be attributed to the decrease in general and administrative expenses, the decrease in preferred stock dividend and the decrease in the loss from equity investments. We expect to continue to realize net losses until such time as our operations produce revenue.
Capital Expenditures
The Company did not spend any significant amounts on capital expenditures during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
The Company may have an income tax benefit resulting from net operating losses to offset any future operating profit. However, the Company has not recorded this benefit in the financial statements because it cannot be assured that it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.
13
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2013, the Company had a working capital deficit of $29,648.Our current assets were $6,914 consisting of $320 in cash, and $6,594 in other current assets. Our total assets were $49,274 consisting of current assets and our equity investments totaling $42,360. At September 30, 2013, our current and total liabilities were $36,562 which consisted of accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Cash flow used in operating activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, was $135 as
compared to cash flow used in operating activities of $251,226 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012. The change in cash flow used in operating activities in the current nine month period can be primarily attributed to the decrease in net losses offset by increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses and decrease in other current assets. We expect that cash flow used in operating activities will continue to decrease as net losses decrease.
Cash flow provided by investing activities for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, was $0 and $190,048 respectively. Cash flow provided by investing activities in the period ended September 30, 2012 can be attributed to the sale of a portion of the Company’s interest in WWA Group and the divestiture of a portion of the Company’s interest in WWA Group as a result of debt settlements. We expect to continue to look to cash flow provided by investing periods in future periods to sustain operations.
Cash flow provided in financing activities for the period ended September 30, 2013, was $0 as compared to $61,286 in cash flow provided financing activities for the period ended September 30, 2012.Cash flow provided by financing activities in the period can be attributed to the issuance of common shares for debt offset by a decrease in a note payable. We expect to have net cash provided by financing activities in the near term in order to continue operations.
The Company’s current assets are insufficient to conduct its business operations over the next twelve (12) months. We will have to seek at least $100,000 in debt or equity financing over the next twelve months to fund marketing efforts for our Wing Houses and to integrate the operations of EMP into our own. The Company has no current commitments or arrangements with respect to, or immediate sources of this funding. Further, no assurances can be given that funding is available. The Company’s shareholders are the most likely source of new funding in the form of loans or equity placements though none have made any commitment for future investment and the Company has no agreement formal or otherwise. The Company’s inability to obtain sufficient funding will have a material adverse affect on its ability to continue business operations.
The Company does not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
The Company had no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements.
The Company has no defined benefit plan or contractual commitment with any of its officers or directors.
The Company has no current plans for the purchase or sale of any plant or equipment.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2013, the Company has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources
that is material to stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
In the notes to the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in our Form 10-K, the Company discussed those accounting policies that are considered to be significant in determining the results of operations and our financial position. The Company believes that the accounting principles we utilized conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The preparation of financial statements requires our management to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. On an on-going basis, we evaluate estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and other facts and circumstances that are believed to be reasonable, and the results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. The actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. With respect to revenue recognition, we apply the following critical accounting policies in the preparation of our financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
The Company intends to generate revenue through the sale of its products on a private, commercial, and industrial basis. Revenue from product sales is recognized at the time the product is shipped and invoiced and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company believes that certain revenue should be recognized as title passes to the customer at the time of shipment.
Going Concern
The Company’s auditors have expressed an opinion as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as a result of an accumulated deficit of $3,766,257 as of December 31, 2012 which increased to $3,780,192 as of September 30, 2013. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is subject to the ability of the Company to realize a profit and/or obtain funding from outside sources. Management’s plan to address the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern includes: (i) obtaining funding from the private placement of debt or equity; and (ii) realizing revenues from the sale of Wing Houses or prospectively from the operations of EMP. Management believes that it will be able to obtain funding to allow the Company to remain a going concern through the methods discussed above, though there can be no assurances that such methods will prove successful.

Forward Looking Statements and Factors That May Affect Future Results and Financial Condition
The statements contained in the section titled Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and elsewhere in this current report, with the exception of historical facts, are forward looking statements. Forward looking statements reflect our current expectations and beliefs regarding our future results of operations, performance, and achievements. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and are based upon assumptions and beliefs that may or may not materialize. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning:
·
our anticipated financial performance;
·
the sufficiency of existing capital resources;
·
our ability to fund cash requirements for future operations;
·
uncertainties related to the growth of our business and the acceptance of our products and services;
·
our ability to achieve and maintain an adequate customer base to generate sufficient revenues to maintain and expand operations;
·
the volatility of the stock market; and,
·
general economic conditions.
We wish to caution readers that our operating results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those discussed or anticipated including the factors set forth in the section entitled Risk Factors included elsewhere in this report. We also wish to advise readers not to place any undue reliance on the forward looking statements contained in this report, which reflect our beliefs and expectations only as of the date of this report. We assume no obligation to update or revise these forward looking statements to reflect new events or circumstances or any changes in our beliefs or expectations, other than as required by law.
Stock-Based CompensationThe Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic (“ASC”) which addresses the accounting for stock-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for (a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments.
The Company has no outstanding stock options or related stock option expense.
We account for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with ASC 505. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not required.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In connection with the preparation of this report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by the Company’s management, with the participation of the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) as of September 30, 2013. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and such information was accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
During the period ended September 30, 2013, there has been no change in internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is currently not a party to any legal proceedings.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The Company’s operations and securities are subject to a number of risks. Below we have identified and discussed the material risks that we are likely to face. Should any of the following risks occur, they will adversely affect our operations, business, financial condition and/or operating results as well as the future trading price and/or the value of our securities.
17
Risks Related to the Company’s Business
IF THE COMPANY DOES NOT GENERATE CASH FLOW FROM OPERATIONS AND IS UNABLE TO OBTAIN CAPITAL TO OPERATE ITS BUSINESS, IT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY CONTINUE OPERATIONS
As of September 30, 2013, the Company had a working capital deficit of $29,648.which amount is insufficient to continue operations. We will have to obtain additional working capital from debt or equity placements to continue operations for which we have no commitments. Should we be unable to secure capital, such condition would cause us to reduce operations which would have a material adverse effect on our business.
MARKET ACCEPTANCE OF THE PRODUCTS WE HAVE DISTRIBUTION RIGHTS TO IS CRITICAL TO OUR GROWTH
The Company expects to generate revenue from the sale of mobile shelters though results to date do not indicate a willingness to pay for our product. Since market acceptance of our products is critical we can offer no assurance that revenue will be generated from the sale of Wing Houses. Should be unable to procure customers for our products our results of operations will continue to be negatively impacted.
WE COMPETE WITH LARGER AND BETTER-FINANCED CORPORATIONS
Competition within the international market for mobile shelters is intense. While the products we are entitled to distribute are distinguished by next-generation innovations that are more sophisticated, flexible and cost effective than many competitive products currently in the market place, a number of entities offer mobile shelters and new competitors may enter the market in the future. Some of our existing and potential competitors have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do, including well known multi-national corporations.
AS A DISTRIBUTOR WE DEPEND ON THE PERFORMANCE OF A THIRD PARTY MANUFACTURER
The Company relies on Renhe Manufacturing China to procure Wing House mobile shelters for distribution. Our business plan is reliant on the delivery of products from this manufacturer, which reliance reduces the level of control we have and exposes us to significant risks such as inadequate capacity, late delivery, substandard quality and higher prices, all of which could adversely affect our results.
OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER DOES NOT OFFER HIS UNDIVIDED ATTENTION TO THE COMPANY DUE TO HIS VARIED RESPONSIBILITIES
Our chief executive officer does not offer his undivided attention to our business as he also serves as the chief executive officer of WWA Group and as a director of Infrastructure. His responsibilities cause him to divide his time, the majority of which is dedicated to the management of WWA Group. His varied responsibilities may compromise the Company’s ability to successfully conduct its business operations.
18
THE COMPANY’S SUCCESS DEPENDS ON ITS ABILITY TO RETAIN KEY PERSONNEL
The Company’s future success will depend substantially on the continued services and performance of Eric Montandon. The loss of the services of Eric Montandon could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Our future success also depends on the Company’s ability to identify, attract, hire, train, retain and motivate technical, managerial and sales personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and we cannot assure that we will succeed in attracting and retaining such personnel. Our failure to attract and retain the necessary technical, managerial and sales personnel would have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
OUR BUSINESS IS SUBJECT TO GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS
International, national and local standards set by governmental regulatory authorities set the regulations by which products are certified across respective territories. Further, climate change legislation and greenhouse gas regulation is becoming increasingly ubiquitous. The products which we intend to distribute are subject to such regulation in addition to national, state and local taxation. Although we believe that we can successfully distribute our products within current governmental regulations it is possible that regulatory changes could negatively impact our operations and cause us to diminish or cease operations.
Future Risks Related to the Company’s Stock
THE COMPANY INTENDS TO APPLY TO HAVE ITS STOCK QUOTED ON THE OTCBB
The Company has no public trading market for its shares, and we cannot represent to you that a market will ever develop. Nonetheless, we do intend to seek a quotation on the OTCBB. However, there can be no assurance that we will obtain a quotation on the OTCBB or that obtaining a quotation will generate a public trading market for our shares. Further, if we obtain a quotation on the OTCBB, this may limit our ability to raise money in an equity financing since many institutional investors do not consider OTCBB stocks for their portfolios. Therefore, an investors’ ability to trade our stock might be restricted as only a limited number of market makers quote OTCBB stock Trading volumes in OTCBB stocks are historically lower, and stock prices for OTCBB stocks tend to be more volatile, than stocks traded on an exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market. We may never qualify for trading on an exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market.
THE COMPANY’S STOCK PRICE COULD BE VOLATILE
Should a public market for our shares develop, the future market price could be subject to significant volatility and trading volumes could be low. Factors affecting our market price will include:
"
perceived prospects;
"
negative variances in our operating results, and achievement of key business targets;
"
limited trading volume in shares of our common stock in the public market;
"
sales or purchases of large blocks of our stock;
"
changes in, or our failure to meet, earnings estimates;
"
changes in securities analysts’ buy/sell recommendations;
"
differences between our reported results and those expected by investors and securities analysts;
"
announcements of new contracts by us or our competitors;
"
announcements of legal claims against us;
"
market reaction to any acquisitions, joint ventures or strategic investments announced by us;
"
developments in the financial markets;
"
general economic, political or stock market conditions.
19
In addition, our future stock price may fluctuate in ways unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. General economic, political and stock market conditions that may affect the market price of our common stock are beyond our control. The market price of our common stock at any particular time may not remain the market price in the future. In the past, securities class action litigation has been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their securities. Any such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources.
WE INCUR SIGNIFICANT EXPENSES AS A RESULT OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002, WHICH EXPENSES MAY CONTINUE TO NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE.
We incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses as a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as related rules implemented by the Commission, which control the corporate governance practices of public companies. Compliance with these laws, rules and regulations, including compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as discussed in the following risk factor, has substantially increased our expenses, including legal and accounting costs, and made some activities more time-consuming and costly.
OUR INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING MAY NOT BE CONSIDERED EFFECTIVE IN THE FUTURE, WHICH CONCLUSION COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF INVESTOR CONFIDENCE IN OUR FINANCIAL REPORTS AND IN TURN HAVE AN ADVERSE AFFECT ON SHAREHOLDER PERCEPTION.
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 we are required to furnish a report by our management on our internal controls over financial reporting. Such report must contain, among other matters, an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of the end of the year, including a statement as to whether or not our internal controls over financial reporting are effective. This assessment must include disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting identified by management. If we are unable to continue to assert that our internal controls are effective, our shareholders could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which in turn could have an adverse affect on shareholder perception.
THE COMPANY DOES NOT PAY DIVIDENDS.
The Company does not pay dividends. We have not paid any dividends since inception and have no intention of paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future dividends would be at the discretion of our board of directors and would depend on, among other things, future earnings, our operating and financial condition, our capital requirements, and general business conditions. Therefore, shareholders should not expect any type of cash flow from their investment.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On May 16, 2012 the Company authorized the issuance of 4,152,000 shares of restricted common stock to Nine 2005 Holdings, Ltd. in order to retire 2,280 preferred shares series 1valued at $228,000 in principal and $83,400 in interest or $0.075 a share in reliance upon the exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(2) and Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”).

20
The Company complied with the exemption requirements of Regulation S by having directed no offering efforts in the United States, by offering common shares only to an offeree who was outside the United States at the time of the offering, and ensuring that the offeree to whom the restricted common shares were offered and authorized was a non-U.S. offeree with an address in a foreign country
On May 20, 2012 the Company authorized the issuance of 2,129,367 restricted common shares pursuant to certain debt settlement agreements valued at $0.03 a share in reliance upon the exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(2) , Regulation D and Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”) as follows:
Name | Consideration | Basis | Shares | Exemption |
Eric Montandon | $43,515 | Debt Settlement | 1,450,500 | Sec. 4(2)/Reg D |
Digamber Naswa | $20,366 | Debt Settlement | 678,867 | Sec. 4(2)/Reg S |
The Company complied with the exemption requirements of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act based on the following factors: (1) the issuances were isolated private transactions by the Company which did not involve a public offering; (2) the offerees had access to the kind of information which registration would disclose; and (3) the offerees are financially sophisticated.
The Company complied with the requirements of Regulation D of the Securities Act by: (i) foregoing any general solicitation or advertising to market the securities; (ii) offering only to accredited offeree; (iii) having not violated antifraud prohibitions with the information provided to the offeree; (iv) being available to answer questions by the offeree; and (v) providing restricted common shares to the offeree.
The Company complied with the exemption requirements of Regulation S by having directed no offering efforts in the United States, by offering common shares only to offeree who was outside the United States at the time of the offering, and ensuring that the offeree to whom the restricted common shares were offered and authorized were non-U.S. offeree with addresses in a foreign country.
