Item 2.01 Completion of Disposition or Acquisition of Assets.
The Securities Exchange/Agreement
On June 7, 2012, we entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with RDRD II Holding LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“RDRD”). The Exchange Agreement was amended on October 29, 2012. In this Form 8-K, all references to the Exchange Agreement are to the Exchange Agreement as amended. The Exchange Agreement contemplated the acquisition(the “Acquisition”) by Compliance Systems Corporation from RDRD of RDRD’s 70% equity ownership interest (the “Seaniemac Equity Interest”) in Seaniemac Limited, an Ireland corporation (“Seaniemac”). The Exchange Agreement further contemplated that, in exchange for the Seaniemac Equity Interest, we would issue to RDRD an amount of shares of our common stock (the “RDRD Exchange Shares”) which, following such issuance, would equal approximately 71% of our then outstanding shares of Common Stock(on a fully diluted basis), after taking into account the 10 million post reverse split shares we were ordered by a court in Florida to issue to certain of our creditors in exchange for $500,000 of debt owed to such creditors(the “RDRD Percentage”). Seaniemac is in the business of operating a sports gaming website.
The RDRD Agreement also requires that, immediately following the issuance of the RDRD Exchange Shares, we shall have outstanding no more than 41,850,000 shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis (the “RDRD Share Limit”) and that we shall have outstanding no more than $350,000 of debt (the “RDRD Debt Limit”).
Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the number of shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis means the number of shares of common stock that would be, as of the applicable date, outstanding if all of our derivative securities, including, without limitation, warrants, options, rights, convertible debt, convertible securities and exchange securities, then outstanding were exercised, converted or exchanged for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of such derivative securities. The Exchange Agreement requires that all preferred stock be converted or otherwise cancelled within 60 days of the closing of the Exchange Agreement.
The Exchange Agreement further provided that our directors and officers immediately prior to consummation of the Acquisition resign and RDRD was granted the right to designate a new board of directors for our Company with such board appointing new officers to manage the post Acquisition Company.
The Exchange Agreement also contemplated that we conduct, prior to the consummation of the Acquisition, a 1:994.488567392 reverse stock split of our common stock, whereby every 994.488567392 pre-split shares would be converted into one post-split share of common stock. The reverse stock split was made effective as of the opening of business on October 3, 2012.

The original Exchange Agreement is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this current report and the amendment is included as Exhibit 10.2 to this current report. The Exchange Agreement; as amended constitutes The legal document that governs the terms of the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated thereby. The discussion of the Exchange Agreement set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference toExhibits 10.1 and 10.2.
Item 2.01 Completion of Disposition or Acquisition of Assets.
On October 30, 2012 the Acquisition was consummated (the “Closing”). In addition, immediately following the Closing we issued 10,000,000 shares of our common stock in accordance with a court order, in exchange for the cancellation of $500,000 of our debt (“Debt Exchange Shares”) (See Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities of this current report on Form 8-K) . As a result of the Acquisition and the issuance of our Debt Exchange Shares, there are now 41,810,476 shares of our common stock outstanding, on a fully diluted basis, of which approximately 71% are held by RDRD. We have been advised that RDRD has a total of five Equity Owners, each of whom would qualify as an Accredited Investor under Regulation D. Prior to the Acquisition, we were a shell company with no business operations. As a result of the Acquisition, we are no longer considered a shell company.
On October 30, 2012, RDRD designated the following persons to our Board of Directors and such board appointed the following individuals to serve as our officers: Barry M. Brookstein, Director, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary; Sean McEniff, Director, Chairman and President; Shane O’Driscoll, Director; and Jon M. Garfield, Director.
The issuance of the shares of our common stock pursuant to the Acquisition was made in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Regulation D promulgated thereunder. As such, the shares of our common stock issued to RDRD in connection with the Acquisition may not be offered or sold unless they are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available.
Pursuant to Item 2.01(f) of Form 8-K, the information that would be required if we were filing a general form for registration of securities on Form 10 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we have set forth below. The information below corresponds to the item numbers of Form 10 under the Exchange Act.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Background/Description of Compliance Systems Corporation’s Business Prior to the Acquisition.
We were incorporated in Nevada on November 17, 2003 under the name GSA Publications, Inc. In conjunction with a reorganization in February 2006, we changed our name to our current name, Compliance Systems Corporation.
In February 2010, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries merged with Execuserve Corp. (“Execuserve”) pursuant to which we entered the business then operated by Execuserve. The business of Execuserve provided organizations, who are hiring employees, with tests and other evaluation tools and services to assess and compare job candidates.
From May 2008 through July 2010, we raised capital through the sale to Agile Opportunity Fund, LLC of secured convertible debentures. Subsequent thereto, we breached certain of the terms of such debentures in December 2010 and transferred to Agile all of our operating assets in exchange for a release of our obligations under the debentures and other obligations owed to Agile. At that time, we became a non-operating shell company and began seeking to acquire or merge with an operating entity.
Acquisition of Interest in Seaniemac
On October 30, 2012 the Acquisition was consummated. As a result of the Acquisition and the issuance of certain Debt Exchange Shares, there are now 41,810,476 shares of our common stock outstanding, on a fully diluted basis, of which approximately 71% are held by RDRD. We have been advised that RDRD has a total of five Equity Owners, each of whom would qualify as an Accredited Investor under Regulation D. Prior to the Acquisition, we were a shell company with no business operations. As a result of the Acquisition, we are no longer considered a shell company.
On October 30, 2012, RDRD designated the following persons to our Board of Directors and such board appointed the following individuals to serve as our officers: Barry M. Brookstein, Director, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary; Sean McEniff, Director, Chairman and President; Shane O’Driscoll, Director; Jon M. Garfield, Director.

Description of Seaniemac’s Business
For purposes of this section entitled “Description of Seaniemac’s Business” only, all references to “we,” “us,” or “our” “Company” or “Seaniemac” refers to Seaniemac Limited prior to the effectiveness of the Acquisition.
General
Seaniemac Limited, a development stage company, is an Irish company that was incorporated on December 11, 2011. Its corporate charter authorizes 100,000 shares of one class of stock being “ordinary shares” which is analogous to common stock. Seaniemac has issued 100 of those shares, 70 of which have been issued to RDRD. It has no recognized revenue and is still devoting substantially all of its efforts on establishing the business and commencing its planned principal operations. All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.
Seaniemac is an online sports and casino (traditional casino, live casino, poker, bingo and interactive skilled games) wagering web-based platform serving gamblers directly under the brand name Seaniemac.com. While the site offers wagering for many categories outside of sports, Seaniemac intends initially to capture the Irish market by initially focusing on the Gaelic Athletics Association (GAA) or Gaelic Games as well as Irish horse racing and soccer.
Seaniemac’s mission is to offer a market-leading, user-friendly website for online gambling, including sports betting and casino gaming (traditional casino, live casino, poker, bingo and interactive skilled games).

Industry
The online gambling industry encompasses a wide range of sites, including online casinos, sportsbooks, poker rooms, wagering, bingo parlors, lotteries, horse racing sites and more. The industry is comprised of four primary market players:
· Software vendors
· Online gambling business operators
· End customers (or players)
· Trade Associations
Online sports gambling (also referred to as online sports betting and interactive gambling) is a sub-segment of the online gambling industry and is currently the largest market share holder in terms of revenues for the online gambling industry.
The following table depicts the size of the gambling industry broken down by type of gambling on a global, Irish and British scale. Industry size, or gross revenue, is the total amount wagered by customers minus the total amount paid out to customers as winnings, but before the payment of any applicable taxes or expenses.

Government Regulations and Political Factors
Gambling in Ireland is principally regulated by the Betting Act of 1931 and the Gaming and Lotteries Act of 1956. This legislation pre-dates many of the new developments in the industry. There are other gaming and gambling acts that regulate the industry such as The Horse and Greyhound Racing Act 2001, which falls under overall gaming and gambling regulations but no specific act has been passed in the country for online gambling as of now.
In Europe, there is no EU legislation that regulates the gambling sector yet. However, a number of EU consumer protection directives cover specific aspects of the activity. These include regulations surrounding distance selling, unfair commercial practices and data protection directives. In addition, all EU licensed and regulated gaming and gambling operators are subject to the regulations and laws that govern business in the EU.

Location
Seaniemac’s corporate headquarters are located in Dublin, Ireland and JB is located in Isle of Man. These locations have been strategically chosen as they provide a local environment with what we believe are relatively predictable legal and government constraints.
Payment Methods
Customers are able to pay through Moneybookers, debit cards, credit cards, Neteller, Western Union Quick Pay and bank transfer.
Technology/Marketing Agreement
On March 13, 2012, the Company entered into a marketing agreement with Jenningsbet Ltd (“Jenningsbet”), an Isle of Man company. Jenningsbet is responsible for developing and operating the Company’s gaming site. The Company has been charged an initial set-up fee of GBP 35,000 that covers the first year of operations. After the initial twelve month period, the Company will be charged a monthly license fee of 2% of Gross Revenue. In addition, Jenningsbet will retain 30 percent of Monthly Gross Revenue (“MGR”) if MGR is GBP 100,000 or less and 25 percent if MGR exceeds GPB 100,000 for three consecutive months. MGR is comprised of revenue less chargebacks for credit card fraud, gaming taxes and licensing fees.
Customer Service
One of Seaniemac’s main marketing objectives is to retain active players keeping the attrition rates low. The Company will attempt to do this through its guarantee policies and customer service support outlined below.
Each gambling product has strict guidelines and rules to be followed and carried out in order to achieve consistent service standards. Seaniemac guarantees that the site will operate with 99.9% up time and will operate within the requirements of the company’s Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission License. Seaniemac offers email support within a 1 hour response time from 9am - 5pm, a 2 hour response time from 5pm - 9.30 pm and a 10 hour response time and from 9.30pm - 9am.
Licenses and Permits
Seaniemac operates under Jenningsbet license which is a license from the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission . This license is a white, United Kingdom regulated license which allows for gambling operations in Ireland and the United Kingdom.
Foreign Financial Considerations
Seaniemac’s income is subject to income taxes based upon the laws of Ireland.
For the Registrant’s financial reporting, Seaniemac’s assets and liabilities, whose functional currency is the Euro, are translated into U.S dollars at period-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. The adjustments resulting from translating the Company’s financial statements are included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss (OCL), a component of Stockholders’ Equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized in net earnings based on differences between foreign exchange rates on the transaction date and settlement date.
7 |
Consulting Fees
A significant portion of Seaniemac’s consulting fees expense, are paid to its shareholders. Such consulting expenses incurred during the three months and six months ending June 30, 2012 totaled $59,724 and $87,221, respectively. The amount payable to shareholders for consulting services was $84,526 at June 30, 2012.
Competition
Generally, we compete with a number of public and private companies, which provide electronic commerce and/or Internet gaming. In addition to known current competitors, traditional land-based casino operators and other entities, many of which have significant financial resources, and occupy entrenched position in the market and name-brand recognition, may provide Internet gaming services in the future, and thus become our competitors.
We believe the principal competitive factors in our industry that create certain barriers to entry include but are not limited to reputation, technology, financial stability and resources, proven track record of successful operations, critical mass (particularly relating to online poker), regulatory compliance, independent oversight and transparency of business practices. While these barriers will limit those able to enter or compete effectively in the market, it is likely that new competitors as well as laws and regulations of governmental authority will be established in the future..
Particularly, Seaniemac faces direct competition from established online gambling sites like PaddyPower, LadBrokes, Betfair Group and others. However, the Company has several advantages at its side, primarily, services that are tailored to GAA enthusiasts, an underserved market niche. Most notably, Seaniemac: is the only Irish- and GAA-focused site; is the only site offeringin-game betting during live-streaming of GAA games; utilizes industry leading software; and has procured several Irish celebrity partners.
Increased competition from current and future competitors may in the future materially adversely affect our business, revenues, operating results and financial condition.
Market & Economic Factors
The online gambling industry was revolutionized by the development of the World Wide Web in the mid-1990s. The evolution of technology is what led to the growth of this market making it possible to gamble anywhere, anytime. A solid infrastructure of broadband Internet connectivity, easy access to mobile applications, and safe and secure payments through a native banking system are three of the key market factors that support growth in this industry.
The industry is in the stage of market consolidation where the big players are looking to fill out their capabilities or reach into new markets through acquisitions. New rounds of merger and acquisition activity are predicted in this sector, both among traditional gaming and gambling companies reaching into virtual markets and existing virtual leaders taking over smaller niche competitors.

The Global Online Gambling market is somewhat fragmented with some nations totally prohibiting online gambling while others have specific restrictions with only eight nations making online gambling legal in all forms. Based on our independent research, in 2010 only 70 jurisdictions worldwide allowed online gambling to be operated from their shores. The varying gaming options available eases rivalry somewhat although high fixed costs of online gambling are not favorable to new entrants. Some market players within the online gambling market include a variety of retailers from private operators to monopolies. Monopolies exist in several countries such as Sweden where state run lottery operators offer the chance to purchase online tickets. The monopolies cover approximately 25% of the European online gambling market with a higher rate of 40% throughout Scandinavia. Government regulation is very stringent in some places with countries and particular states around the globe outlawing online gambling whilst many others place particular restrictions. Due to the nature of the internet, policing of particular laws are not always possible. Brand strength is powerful in some countries where major players are promoted through heavy advertising and sponsorship campaigns, although varying regulations and differentiated products means that dominance is never absolute. Based on our research there has been a rapid expansion of the online gambling market from 350 online gambling sites in 1998 to 2332 in 2010. Many countries such as France are easing their online gambling regulations thus opening the market up to new players. Overall the likelihood of new entrants is moderate.
The cost of switching is relatively low in many places where licensed betting shops or casinos are present. This may be a problem in some areas of the world such as the U.S. states of Tennessee and South Carolina and the Indian state of Maharashtra where State laws prohibit casinos, betting shops or private games. Cheaper alternatives may or may not be available depending on the location or particular rewards on offer; although, online service charges via credit cards, etc. may deem the online market as more expensive. The threat of substitutes to the online gaming market is moderate overall.
Rivalry in the online gaming industry is moderate overall, increased by some factors while decreased by others. The market is made up of various sectors competing for customers which eases rivalry somewhat. These include casinos, poker rooms, sports/race books, bingo, skill games, lottery, betting exchange and backgammon. The global reach of the internet and the plentiful supply of varying games means switching costs for the consumer are virtually nonexistent which increases rivalry. Differing regulations worldwide make it harder for expansion and the easing of regulations in some markets have led to consolidation from monopoly entities which weakens rivalry overall. Yet the opening of new markets such as France will also allow for more players to enter the market place offsetting the balance somewhat.

Research and Development

Company Website
Our business website iswww.seaniemac.com.
Employees
As of October 30, 2012, we have 3 employees.
Source of Revenue
Seaniemac’s gross revenue will be derived by subtracting total winnings from total wagers. As a result, Seaniemac cannot directly control revenue from sports wagering. However, the Company can indirectly control revenue from casino games by setting the odds high or low as compared to other companies. Seaniemac sets its odds slightly lower than its competitors in order to gain market share. Nonetheless, the Company does not have direct control over the actual percentage of winnings for any of its revenue sources. In regard to poker, Seaniemac determines its fees based on industry standards.
10 |
In addition, revenue is driven by the number of users (bettors), who we are assuming will bet an average of $200 per month. Based on industry averages, Seaniemac estimates that from each dollar bet, the Company will receive net revenue of 8% in the sports segment and 4% in the casino segment. Jenningsbet, which performs all administration directly related to gaming, will remit the net revenue on the 15th of the subsequent month.
Starting with an estimated 1,500 users in the first month, the total users at the end of years 1, 2, and 3, respectively are 12,000, 17,000, and 18,000. The tapering-off is a conservative assumption. Gross margins are projected to remain constant at 75%.

Industry Trends & Growth
Global Industry Trends & Growth Patterns
Global online gambling is an industry with strong potential for growth. According to online research firm Data Monitor, global online gambling revenues currently total $32 billion USD.1 Online gambling is expected to grow 52% to total $46.1 billion by the end of 2015.2 Globally, the potential for growth in the online gambling sector is strong.
Online gambling is quickly becoming a key driver in the gambling industry as a whole. Since 2003, the market has grown by an annual average of 23%. The gambling industry as a whole grew an average of 15% during the same time period. Online sports betting is the strongest category of online gambling, representing 41% of the market's overall value. It is clear that online gambling is becoming a significant segment of the gambling industry.
Although Europe represents the largest geographic market for online gambling, growth is expected to come from Asia and Latin America, according to a report by the gambling consulting firm H2 Gambling Capital. Europe, which currently comprises 44% of the online gambling market, is expected to grow more slowly as it focuses on deregulating the market within the European Common Market, according to KPMG.3
Legislative and regulatory considerations will likely be the single most substantial factor for growth in online gambling. As previously indicated, legal and regulatory restrictions prohibit or constrain the online gambling industry in several key markets (including the United States).4 Globally, governments and jurisdictions are still struggling to determine the place of online gambling in the regulatory and legal spectrum. Legalization and/or deregulation can open up or expand national markets significantly if legislative bodies become more comfortable with and receptive to online gambling.
In regards to online gambling activities, sport betting remains the most popular form of online gambling, representing 41% of all online gambling. Casino and poker games are the next most popular activities, representing 25% and 21% of online gaming activities. Other activities such as lotteries and bingo comprise the remaining 13% of the market.
In conclusion, online gaming represents a growing market that is constrained mostly by legal and regulatory instability and uncertainties. The greatest geographic market for growth will be Asia and Latin America, with Europe continuing to serve as a steady, mature market with growth opportunities.

British Industry Trends & Growth Patterns
Gambling in the United Kingdom has grown steadily in the last decade. According to the United Kingdom Gambling Commission’s annual Gambling Prevalence Survey, 56% of adults participated in some form of gambling in 2010, up from 46% in 1999 and 48% in 2007, excluding those who participated only in the United Kingdom’s national lottery.5
The United Kingdom is the world’s largest online gambling market and is continuing to grow.6 Of those who participated in some form of gambling in 2010 (excluding national lottery participants), 5% did so online, up from 3% in 2007. In 2012, online gambling revenues are expected to reach $13.25 billion USD. Global consultancy PriceWaterhouseCoopers projects that revenue to rise as other EU governments create regulatory frameworks for their citizens to participate on British gaming websites.7 While the largest growth in gambling worldwide is expected to come from Asia and Latin America, it is clear that the United Kingdom’s large and mature online gaming industry will continue to have the potential to grow.
One caveat to the United Kingdom’s expected continued growth in online gambling is taxation. Current tax levies on market players in the United Kingdom are high and may drive players to use sites outside of the United Kingdom as other nations legalize and/or liberalize their online gambling laws. Furthermore, In January 2009, the government announced that the gambling sector will face a compulsory £5 million ($7.7 million) a year levy for research into problem gamblers unless it funds a voluntary scheme. Although online gambling in the United Kingdom will continue to grow, the effects of taxation must be considered.
In conclusion, the online gambling market in the United Kingdom is a mature market with the potential for modest, continued growth. The key factors to consider are taxation and regulation of the market.
Irish Industry Trends & Growth Patterns8
The Irish online gambling market has the potential to grow tremendously. Recent statistics estimate that the current market size for online gambling in Ireland is valued at $1.7 billion USD, representing approximately 5% of the global market. By extrapolating industry growth as a whole on the Irish market, online gambling is expected to reach $6.5 billion USD by 2015, and $9.8 billion USD by 2020. This represents growth rates of 124% (between today and 2015) and 50% (between 2015 and 2020). This assumes that Ireland’s 5% global market share and gambling prevalence remains constant.
The growth in the online gambling industry in Ireland is a trend that lends itself well to the launch of Seaniemac.

Trends in Mobile Gambling9
The proliferation of smartphones and the use of mobile broadband, combined with the growth of online gambling has resulted in the emergence and growth of mobile online gambling. As demonstrated in the following graph generated by Juniper Research, mobile gambling has seen steady growth since 2009 and is expected to continue to grow over the next several years reaching roughly $48 billion USD by 2015.
The majority of future growth is predicted to occur in mobile casino and lottery gambling. Casino gambling, which is currently producing a much smaller portion of total mobile wagering than betting, will grow to a roughly equal share of the total by 2015.
Furthermore, mobile lotteries, which today produce virtually no revenue, will substantially increase by 2015, although they will still represent a relatively small portion of the total. Juniper’s analysis suggests that the emergence of numerous mobile lotteries in the past 12 to 18 months, particularly in the Chinese, Latin American and African markets, will drive this future growth.
According to a Morgan Stanley report, six factors will influence the growth pattern of mobile online gambling: payment solutions, customer acceptance, battery life, regulation, branding, and substitution.
Market Trends & Growth Patterns: Global, United Kingdom and Ireland
Regulatory and legal uncertainties have the potential to skew the growth of online gambling worldwide. The most significant example is that of the United States, which outlawed online gambling in 2006.10 Stock values for Bwin.Party Digital Entertainment dropped 60% in 24 hours on that news.11 While the United States is an extreme case, it illustrates the potential effects changes in legal and regulatory practices on online gambling. In the case of Ireland, recent news indicates that the government is seeking to clarify gambling laws so as to account for online gaming, but may result in restrictions and constraints for the online gambling sector in particular.12 This is less of a concern in the United Kingdom, where online gambling is expressly allowed.13

A significant factor that will negatively affect the online gambling market in Ireland is emigration. According to Ireland’s Central Statistics Office, emigration is growing, from 65,300 Irish nationals emigrating in 2009, to over 76,000 in 2010.14 Although preliminary statistics are still being complied, the Economic and Social Research Institute estimates that over 120,000 Irish emigrated in 2011. The high unemployment rate and limited job prospects are the most significant factor in Irish emigration.15 The profile of the likeliest emigrants tracks closely with that of the typical Irish gambler: young, male, and with limited education. Although emigrants may retain close cultural ties to Ireland, they will naturally be far less likely to follow Irish-specific sports and gambling in their destination countries as they were in Ireland.
Although the growth potential for global and Irish online gambling is positive with moderate growth potential in the United Kingdom from a strictly economic standpoint, the above factors must be taken into careful consideration.

Risks Related to Our Business and Financial Condition
Because we have a limited operating history, we may not be able to successfully manage our business or achieve profitability.
Seaniemac was recently formed in December 2011 and our website only recently became operational. As a result, we have a limited operating history upon which you can evaluate our prospects and our potential value. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the expenses, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the establishment and expansion of new business and the competitive environment in which we will operate. We have little market penetration and successes to date, and may never reach profitability. No additional relevant operating history involving Seaniemac’s operations exists upon which an evaluation of our performance can be made. Our performance must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered in establishing new products and markets in the evolving, highly competitive online gambling industry. If we cannot successfully manage our business, we may not be able to generate future profits and may not be able to support our operations.
We have incurred substantial losses since our inception and may never be profitable.
We have incurred losses since inception and further losses are anticipated in the development of our business. As a development stage enterprise, there exists substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon generating profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand, loans from stockholders and directors, and a possible private placement of our securities. No stockholder, director, or possible private placement participant has agreed to loan our company any funds nor agreed to purchase any of our securities. The failure to obtain necessary financing could result in our company ceasing all operations, which would likely result in a loss of all or a significant portion of your investment in our company.
Failure by us to respond to changes in consumer preferences could result in lack of sales revenues and may force us out of business.
Our online gambling website and online operations operate in an industry subject to:
· | rapid technological change; |
· | the proliferation of new and changing online gambling sites; |
· | frequent new product introductions and updates; and |
· | changes in customer demands. |
Any of the above changes that we fail to anticipate could reduce the demand for our online business, as well as any products we may introduce in the future. Failure to anticipate and respond to changes in consumer preferences and demands could lead to, among other things, customer dissatisfaction, failure to attract demand for our products and lower profit margins.
A decline in the popularity of our website will negatively impact our business.
Our primary source of revenues is dependent upon our ability to attract and retain new users and attracting existing users to increase their activity on our sites, among other things. If we are unable to maintain or extend web traffic to, and use of, our websites, our revenues may be adversely affected.
18 |
Intense competition in the online gambling industry may adversely affect our revenue and profitability.
We operate in a highly competitive environment and we compete for members, visitors and advertisers with numerous well established online gambling sites, as well as many smaller and/or newer sites. If we are unable to differentiate our products and generate sufficient appeal in the marketplace, our ability to achieve our business plan may be adversely affected. The effect of such competition may put pressure on profit margins and to involve us in vigorous competition to obtain and retain consumers and advertisers. As compared to us, many of our competitors have significantly longer operating histories and greater brand recognition as well as, greater financial, management, and other resources.
We currently depend on and may continue to be dependent on third parties to complete the development of our online gambling platform, and any increased costs associated with third party developers or any delay or interruption in production would negatively affect both our ability to develop the platform and our ability to continue our operations.
We currently depend on our agreement with Jenningsbet Ltd to develop the initial stages of and operate our online gambling platform. We anticipate that we will continue to need to rely on Jenningsbet Ltd and other third parties to complete the development of portions of the platform. The costs associated with relying on third parties may increase our development costs and negatively affect our ability to operate. Since we have less control over a third party because we cannot control the developer’s personnel, schedule or resources. We may experience delays in finalizing the platform. In addition, our reliance upon a third party developer exposes us to risks, including reduced control over quality assurance and costs of development. If this happens we could lose anticipated revenues from the platform and may not have the capital necessary to continue our operations. In addition, we may be required to rely on certain technology that we will license from third parties, including software that we integrate and use with our internally developed software. We cannot provide any assurances that these third party technology licenses will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms. The inability to establish any of these technology licenses, or the loss of such licenses if established, could result in delays in completing our platform until equivalent technology could be identified, licensed and integrated. Any such delays could materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
Our success depends on the scope of our intellectual property rights and not infringing the intellectual property rights of others.
Our success depends in part on our ability to:
· | obtain copyrights or trademarks or rights to copyrights or trademarks, where necessary, and to maintain their validity and enforceability; |
· | operate without infringing upon the proprietary rights of others; and |
· | prevent others from infringing on our proprietary rights. |
We will be able to protect our proprietary intellectual property rights from unauthorized use by third parties only to the extent that our proprietary rights are covered by valid and enforceable copyrights or trademarks. Our inability to protect our proprietary rights could materially adversely affect our business prospects and profitability. In addition, if litigation were to take place in connection with the enforcement of our intellectual property rights (or to defend third party claims of infringement against us), there can be no assurance that we would prevail. Legal proceedings could result in substantial costs and diversion of management time and resources and could materially adversely affect our operations and our financial condition. We currently own our operating url,www.seaniemac.com and the contents of such website, though we have not filed for formal copyright or trademark protection.
19 |
Our online website is subject to security and stability risks that could harm our business and reputation and expose us to litigation or liability.
Online commerce and communications depend on the ability to transmit confidential information and licensed intellectual property securely over private and public networks. Any compromise of our ability to transmit such information and data securely or reliably, and any costs associated with preventing or eliminating such problems, could harm our business. Online transmissions are subject to a number of security and stability risks, including:
· | our encryption and authentication technology, and access and security procedures, may be compromised, breached or otherwise be insufficient to ensure the security of customer information; |
· | we could experience unauthorized access, computer viruses, system interference or destruction, “denial of service” attacks and other disruptive problems, whether intentional or accidental, that may inhibit or prevent access to our websites or use of our products and services; |
· | someone could circumvent our security measures and misappropriate our partners’ or our customers’ intellectual property, interrupt our operations, or jeopardize our licensing arrangements, which are contingent on our sustaining appropriate security protections; |
· | our computer systems could fail and lead to service interruptions; |
· | we may be unable to scale our infrastructure with increases in customer demand; or |
· | our network of facilities may be affected by a natural disaster, terrorist attack or other catastrophic events. |
The occurrence of any of these or similar events could damage our business, hurt our ability to distribute products and services and collect revenue, threaten the proprietary or confidential nature of our technology, harm our reputation and expose us to litigation or liability. We may be required to expend significant capital or other resources to protect against the threat of security breaches, hacker attacks or system malfunctions or to alleviate problems caused by such breaches, attacks or failures.
We have limited experience competing in international markets. Any international expansion plans will expose us to greater political, intellectual property, regulatory, exchange rate fluctuation and other risks, which could harm our business.
Once our online gambling platform is developed, we may attempt to market such products in countries outside of our current operations in Ireland. The markets in which we may undertake international expansion may have technology and online industries that are less well developed than in Ireland. There are certain risks inherent in doing business in international markets, such as the following:
· | Uncertainty of product acceptance by different cultures; |
· | Unforeseen changes in regulatory requirements; |
· | Difficulties in staffing and managing multinational operations; |
· | State-imposed restrictions on the repatriation of funds; |
· | Currency fluctuations; |
· | Difficulties in finding appropriate foreign licensees or joint venture partners; |
· | Laws and business practices that favor local competitors; |
· | Expenses associated with localizing our products, including offering customers the ability to transact business in multiple currencies; |
· | Potentially adverse tax consequences; and |
20 |
· | Less stringent and/or narrower intellectual property protection. |
There is a risk that these factors will have an adverse effect on our ability successfully to operate internationally and on our results of operations and financial condition.
Changes to payment card networks or bank fees, rules, or practices could harm our business and, if we do not comply with the rules, could result in a termination of our ability to accept credit cards. If we are unable to accept credit cards, our competitive position would be seriously damaged.
We expect to belong to or directly access payment card networks, such as Visa, MasterCard and the National Automated Clearing House Association (“NACHA”), in order to accept or facilitate the processing of credit cards and debit cards (including some types of prepaid cards). We also expect to rely on banks or other payment processors to process transactions, and must pay fees for these services. From time to time, payment card networks have increased, and may increase in the future, the interchange fees and assessments that they charge for each transaction using one of their cards. Generally, payment card processors have the right to pass any increases in interchange fees and assessments on to payment systems like ours as well as increase their own fees for processing. Changes in interchange fees and assessments could increase our operating costs and reduce profit margins, if any. In addition, in some markets, governments have required Visa and MasterCard to reduce interchange fees, or have opened investigations as to whether Visa or MasterCard's interchange fees and practices violate antitrust law. The financial reform law enacted in 2010 authorizes the Federal Reserve Board to regulate debit card interchange rates and debit card network exclusivity provisions, and the Federal Reserve Board has proposed rules that include caps on debit card interchange fees at significantly lower rates than Visa or MasterCard currently charge. We expect to be required by our processors to comply with payment card network operating rules, which generally include the obligation to reimburse processors for any fines they are assessed by payment card networks as a result of any rule violations by users . The payment card networks set and interpret the card rules which could be more difficult or expensive to comply with. We also expect to be required to comply with payment card networks' special operating rules for Internet payment services. Some of these rules may be difficult or even impossible for us to comply with. If we are unable to comply with these rules, we may be subject to fines for any failure to comply with such rules or we may lose our ability to gain access to the credit card associations or NACHA.
Changes in government laws could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our business is regulated by diverse and evolving laws and governmental authorities in Ireland and the Isle of Man and other countries in which we intend to operate in the future. Such laws relate to, among other things, online gambling, gambling in general, internet, licensing, copyrights, commercial advertising, subscription rates, foreign investment, use of confidential customer information and content. Promulgation of new laws, changes in current laws, changes in interpretations by courts and other government officials of existing laws, our inability or failure to comply with current or future laws or strict enforcement by current or future government officers of current or future laws could adversely affect us by reducing our revenue, increasing our operating expenses and/or exposing us to significant liabilities.
21 |
We may require significant additional capital to fund our business plan.
We will be required to expend significant funds to develop our online gambling operations. Our ability to obtain necessary funding for these purposes, in turn, depends upon a number of factors, including the status of the national and worldwide economy. . Capital markets worldwide have been adversely affected by substantial losses by financial institutions, in turn caused by investments in asset-backed securities. We may not be successful in obtaining the required financing, or if we can obtain such financing, such financing may not be on terms that are favorable to us. Failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of operations.
We depend upon a limited number of personnel and the loss of any of these individuals could adversely affect our business.
If any of our current executive employees were to die, become disabled or leave our company, we would be forced to identify and retain individuals to replace them. They are critical employees at this time. In addition to the executives, we rely heavily on a several people that have extensive knowledge of our industry. There is no assurance that we can find suitable individuals to replace them or to add to our employee base if that becomes necessary. We are entirely dependent on these individuals as our critical personnel at this time. We have no life insurance on any of our employees, and we may be unable to hire a suitable replacement for them on favorable terms, should that become necessary.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
There currently is only a minimal public market for our common stock. Failure to develop or maintain a trading market could negatively affect the value of our common stock and make it difficult or impossible for you to sell your shares.
There currently is only a minimal public market for shares of our common stock and an active market may never develop. Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB operated by the OTC Market’s Group, Inc. under the symbol “COPI”. We may not ever be able to satisfy the listing requirements for our common stock to be listed on any stock exchange, including the trading platforms of NASDAQ Stock Market which are often more widely-traded and liquid markets. Some, but not all, of the factors which may delay or prevent the listing of our common stock on a more widely-traded and liquid market include the following: our stockholders’ equity may be insufficient; the market value of our outstanding securities may be too low; our net income from operations may be too low; our common stock may not be sufficiently widely held; we may not be able to secure market makers for our common stock; and we may fail to meet the rules and requirements mandated by, any of the several exchanges and markets to have our common stock listed.
We cannot assure you that our common stock will become liquid or that it will be listed on a securities exchange.
Until our common stock is listed on a national securities exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market, we expect our common stock to remain eligible for quotation on the OTCQB, or on another over-the-counter quotation system. In those venues, however, an investor may find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock. In addition, if we fail to meet the criteria set forth in SEC regulations, various requirements would be imposed by law on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Consequently, such regulations may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling our common stock, which may further affect the liquidity of our common stock. This would also make it more difficult for us to raise capital.
22 |
The application of the “penny stock” rules could adversely affect the market price of our common shares and increase your transaction costs to sell those shares.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has adopted Rule 3a51-1 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, SEC Rule 15g-9 requires:
· | that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, and |
· | the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. |
In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
· | obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person, and |
· | make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. |
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
· | sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination and |
· | that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. |
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
The market price for our common shares is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company with a small and thinly traded public float, limited operating history and lack of profits which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. You may be unable to sell your common stock at or above your purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to you.
The market for our common stock is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. The volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors. First, as noted above, our common stock is sporadically and thinly traded. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our stockholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price for our common stock could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to the market for securities or a seasoned issuer which could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price. Secondly, we are a speculative or “risky” investment due to our limited operating history and lack of profits to date, and uncertainty of future market acceptance for our potential products and services. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a seasoned issuer. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common stock will be at any time, including as to whether our common shares will sustain their current market prices, or as to what effect that the sale of shares or the availability of shares for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.
23 |
We do not pay dividends on our common stock.
We have not paid any dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. We plan to retain earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business.
Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price.
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) requires that we establish and maintain an adequate internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting and include a report of management on our internal control over financial reporting in our annual report on Form 10-K. That report must contain an assessment by management of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and must include disclosure of any material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that we have identified.
Restrictions on the reliance of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or former Shell Companies.
Historically, the SEC staff has taken the position that Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by companies that are, or previously were, blank check companies. The SEC has codified and expanded this position in the amendments discussed above by prohibiting the use of Rule 144 for resale of securities issued by any shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or any issuer that has been at any time a “shell company”. The SEC has provided an important exception to this prohibition, however, if the following conditions are met:
· | The issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company, |
· | The issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, |
· | The issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Current Reports on Form 8-K; and |
· | At least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current comprehensive disclosure with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company. |
24 |
As a result, it is likely that pursuant to Rule 144, stockholders who hold restricted securities by our company including the 29,719,952 shares issued to RDRD in connection with the Acquisition or through any means other than a public offering will not be able to sell our shares without registration under the securities act until one year after we have completed our initial business combination and filed this current report on Form 8-K containing the information required in a Form 10.
Beginning one year after the filing of this current report on Form 8-K, and as long as we remain an operating business and current in our reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, our stockholders will be able to utilize Rule 144.
A summary of Rule 144 is as follows:
The SEC adopted amendments to Rule 144 which became effective on February 15, 2008 that apply to securities acquired both before and after that date. Under these amendments, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that: (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding a sale, (ii) we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least 90 days before the sale and (iii) if the sale occurs prior to satisfaction of a one-year holding period, we provide current information at the time of sale.
Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of either of the following:
· | 1% of the total number of securities of the same class then outstanding; or |
· | the average weekly trading volume of such securities during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale; |
provided, in each case, that we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale. Such sales by affiliates must also comply with the manner of sale, current public information and notice provisions of Rule 144.

Compliance Systems Corporation
Overview and Recent Developments
We were incorporated in Nevada on November 17, 2003 under the name GSA Publications, Inc. In conjunction with a reorganization in February 2006, we changed our name to our current name, Compliance Systems Corporation.
In February 2010, we merged with Execuserve pursuant to which we entered the business then operated by Execuserve.
From May 2008 through July 2010, we raised capital through the sale to Agile Opportunity Fund, LLC of secured convertible debentures. Subsequent thereto, we breached certain on the terms of such debentures in December 2010 and transferred to Agile all of our operating assets in exchange for a release of our obligations under the debentures and other obligations owed to Agile. At that time, we became a non-operating shell company and began seeking to acquire or merge with an operating entity.
On September 11, 2012, we filed with the SEC a definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C in which we reported that our Board of Directors and the requisite number of our stockholders have authorized a 1 for 994.488567392 reverse split (the “Reverse Split”) of our common stock and a corresponding amendment to our Articles of Incorporation. The Reverse Split was necessary in order to effectuate the Acquisition as contemplated in the Exchange Agreement. In accordance with the definitive Information Statement, we filed an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation and the reverse split was declared effective on October 3, 2012. The effect of the Reverse Split is to decrease the number of our shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding from 1,441,770,097 pre-Reverse Split shares to approximately 1,449,760 post-Reverse Split shares.
Acquisition of Interest in Seaniemac
On June 12, 2012 we filed a Form 8-K in which we reported that on June 7, 2012 we entered into the Exchange Agreement with RDRD in connection with the Acquisition as described above.
On October 30, 2012, RDRD designated the following persons to our Board of Directors and such board appointed the following individuals to serve as our officers: Barry M. Brookstein, Director, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary; Sean McEniff, Director, Chairman and President; Shane O’Driscoll, Director; Jon M. Garfield, Director.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company’s consolidated financial statements and related public information are based on the application of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The Company’s significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 to its annual consolidated financial statements. While all of these significant accounting policies impact its financial condition and results of operations, the Company views certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our consolidated financial statements. The Company’s critical accounting policies are discussed below.
26 |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation arrangements in accordance with guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). This guidance addresses all forms of share-based payment awards including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights, as well as share grants and other awards issued to employees and non-employees under free-standing arrangements. These awards are recorded at costs that are measured at fair value on the awards’ grant dates, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest and will result in charges to operations.
From time to time, the Company’s shares of common stock and warrants have been issued as payment to employees and non-employees for services. These are non-cash transactions that require management to make judgments related to the fair value of the shares issued, which affects the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for certain of its assets and expenses.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 740 "Income Tax". ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-05 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” The ASC clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The ASC prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The ASC provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
Results of Operations for Year Ended December 31, 2011 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2010
This discussion of results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012, should be read in conjunction with the discussion on Events Subsequent to June 30, 2012 beginning on page 31.

Going Concern
Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s continued losses and negative operating cash flows raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s primary need for cash during the next twelve months is to fund payments of operating costs. Historically, the Company has relied upon private debt and equity financing to fund its operations and expects to continue to do so. Our auditors included a “going concern” qualification in their auditors’ report for the year ended December 31, 2011. Such “going concern” qualification may make it more difficult for us to raise funds when needed. The current economic environment is impacting the Company’s ability to obtain any needed financing. No assurance can be given that financing will be available when needed or, if available, such financing will be on terms beneficial to the Company.
Continuing Operations
As a result of the Surrender of Collateral, the Company’s operating businesses were classified as discontinued operations. Operating expenses represent those incurred primarily to enable the Company to satisfy the requirements of a reporting company.
The Company incurred a loss from continuing operations of $543,588 in 2011 and $1,221,036 in 2010.
Selling and general and administrative expenses consist primarily of officer’s salary and professional fees for accounting and auditing services, legal fees and consulting services. Selling and general and administrative expenses amounted to $447,320 in 2011 and $348,588 in 2010. Operating expenses consist of the following for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.
2011 | 2010 | |||||||
Officer’s salary | $ | 240,000 | $ | 240,000 | ||||
Payroll taxes and insurance | 32,303 | 15,963 | ||||||
Professional fees | 112,861 | 60,550 | ||||||
Other | 62,156 | 32,125 | ||||||
Total | $ | 447,320 | $ | 348,588 |
Interest expense decreased by $542,523 to $109,213 for 2011 from $651,736 for 2010. This decrease is primarily related to the Surrender of Collateral on the Agile Debentures in December 2010.
The Company’s loan cost amortization and related financing expense, including amortization of loan discount, was $0 for 2011 compared to $220,712 for 2010. Deferred loan costs and loan discount amortized during 2010 were related to the debentures that were issued to Agile.

Discontinued Operations
The results of the discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 are as follows:
Total revenues | $ | 1,108,356 | ||
Cost of revenues, operating and interest expenses | $ | 1,985,415 | ||
Loss from operations | $ | (877,059 | ) |
In addition, as a result of the Surrender of Collateral, the Company recognized a gain of $1,413,255 in the year ended December 31, 2010. In 2011, the Company wrote-off the loans and accrued interest due to the former stockholders of Execuserve in the amount of $153,003. Such write-off was recognized as a gain on the Surrender of Collateral for the year ended December 31, 2011.
For the reasons set forth above, the Company’s 2011 net loss decreased by $294,255 to $390,585 in 2011 from $684,840 in 2010.
Dividends of $150,000 were accrued on the Series B Preferred Stock for both 2011 and 2010. Dividends of $4,286 were accrued on the Series D Preferred Stock in 2011. Series D Preferred Stock was issued in March 2011 and April 2011. The dividends are taken into account when computing loss per common share. The Company has failed to pay dividends on the outstanding shares of its Series B Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock in 2011 and 2010. Dividends on the Preferred Stock may only be paid out of funds legally available for such purpose. Under Nevada law, generally, a corporation’s distribution to stockholders may only be made if, after giving effect to such distribution, (i) the corporation would be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of action and (ii) the corporation’s total assets equal or exceed the sum of the corporation’s liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if the corporation was to be dissolved at the time of distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of stockholders whose rights are superior to those receiving the distribution. Accrued dividends total $454,286 at December 31, 2011.
The Company’s annual effective tax rate was estimated to be 0% for both 2011 and 2010. Accordingly, no tax benefit or cost was recognized in either of such periods. During the current and prior year, the Company did not record an income tax benefit for net deferred tax assets generated due to the uncertainty of their realization.
Warrant Exchange
On May 12, 2011, the Company exchanged warrants (the “Old Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 128.13 million shares of our Common Stock, with exercise prices ranging between $0.05 and $0.001 per share and expiration dates between June 23, 2014 and March 31, 2016, for new warrants (the “New Warrants”) to purchase the same number of shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share and having an expiration date of May 11, 2016. The New Warrants, which all expire on May 11, 2016, permit “cashless exercise,” a right which was not provided for in the Old Warrants. The New Warrants also contain anti-dilution provisions that are not as advantageous to the warrant holders as the anti-dilution provisions applicable to the Old Warrants.
As a result of the exchanges, the Company recognized a charge of $11,797 for the year ended December 31, 2011, which is classified as part of interest expense.
As the New Warrants contain “cashless exercise” provisions, the value of the New Warrants were recognized as liabilities and not as part of stockholders’ deficiency. In addition, the Company is required to revalue the New Warrants at the end of each reporting period with the change in value reported on the statement of operations. The Company valued these issuances using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company recognized a gain on the value of the New Warrants of $12,945 for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2011, we had a cash balance of $529 compared to $19,014 at December 31, 2010.
Cash used in operating activities of $59,993 for the year ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in cash was primarily attributable to funding the loss for the year.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $41,508 for the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company received $50,000 from the issuance of its newly created Series D Preferred Stock, proceeds from loans from Brookstein of $11,775 and repaid $20,267 of short term and demand loans.
Recent financing transactions other than with Agile include the following:
The Company’s loan from Nascap Corp. (“Nascap”) was modified in March 2009, increasing funding up to $750,000 at the lender’s discretion. The original loan amount was $150,000. The greatest amount of principal outstanding under the loan facility was $350,000, which is the balance owed at December 31, 2011.
Agreements with two additional lenders were modified on June 24, 2009. Brookstein had loaned the Company an aggregate of $50,000 during the 2009 first fiscal quarter, and a second lender loaned the Company $150,000 in April 2006. Both notes continued to bear interest at 18% per annum, payable monthly in arrears through June 2012. The extended maturity dates on the modified notes were January 1, 2012. In July 2012, the Company issued 50,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock to Brookstein in full satisfaction of his $50,000 loan.
In the fourth quarter of 2011, Brookstein loaned the Company $11,775 for working capital purposes. The loan is non-interest bearing and due on demand.
In addition, due to cash flow difficulties, the Company has issued warrants to various officers and other companies and individuals as follows:
Issuance of Deferred Salary Warrants
Brookstein (and Garfinkel before his resignation from the Company) have been deferring all or a portion of their salaries since January 1, 2009. The amount of deferred salaries totaled $1,010,000 as of December 31, 2011, consisting of $630,000 due Brookstein and $380,000 due Garfinkel. Warrants have been issued on a quarterly basis. See Note 11F of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Issuance of Deferred Dividend Warrants
The Company has failed to pay dividends on the outstanding shares of its Series B Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock in 2011 and 2010. Warrants have been issued to both Brookstein and Spirits Management Inc. (“Spirits”) on a quarterly basis. See Note 11G of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Issuance of Deferred Interest Payment Warrants
Commencing in the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company failed to pay interest on the promissory notes that were previously issued to Brookstein, Henry Ponzio and Nascap (the “Note Holders”). To compensate the Note Holders for the failure to pay interest on their promissory notes, the Company granted to such Note Holders warrants on a quarterly basis. See Note 11H of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Off -Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2011, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $39,721 and $68,298, respectively. Interest expense relates primarily to amounts owed on our various debt arrangements.
For the reasons set forth above, the Company’s 2012 net loss for the three month period decreased by $33,080 to $139,450 in 2012 from $172,530 in 2011 and for the six months decreased by $23,569 to $291,779 in 2012 from $315,348 in 2011.

Dividends of $38,786 and $76,286 were accrued on the Series B Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. The dividends are taken into account when computing loss per common share. Accrued dividends total $525,000 at June 30, 2012.
The Company’s annual effective tax rate was estimated to be 0% for both 2012 and 2011. Accordingly, no tax benefit or cost was recognized in either of such periods. During the current and prior periods, the Company did not record an income tax benefit for net deferred tax assets generated due to the uncertainty of their realization.

Warrant Exchange
On May 12, 2011, the Company exchanged warrants (the “Old Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 128.13 million shares of our Common Stock, with exercise prices ranging between $0.001 and $0.05 per share and expiration dates between June 23, 2014 and March 31, 2016, for new warrants (the “New Warrants”) to purchase the same number of shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share and having an expiration date of May 11, 2016. The New Warrants, which all expire on May 11, 2016, permit “cashless exercise,” a right which was not provided for in the Old Warrants. The New Warrants also contain anti-dilution provisions that are not as advantageous to the warrant holders as the anti-dilution provisions applicable to the Old Warrants.
As the New Warrants contain “cashless exercise” provisions, the value of the New Warrants were recognized as liabilities and not as part of stockholders’ deficiency. In addition, the Company is required to revalue the New Warrants at the end of each reporting period with the change in value reported on the statement of operations. The Company valued these issuances using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company recognized a gain on the value of the New Warrants of $5,509 and $98 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

At June 30, 2012 we had a cash balance of $279 compared to $529 at December 31, 2011. Cash used in operating activities of $57,564.

The Company received working capital loans of $57,314 including loans from Brookstein of $1,314.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2012, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.

32 |
The Company deferred dividends totaling $1,500 and $3,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. To compensate Brookstein for the failure to pay dividends when due, the Company agreed to grant five-year warrants (each, a “Dividend Accrual Warrant”) to purchase shares (each, a “Dividend Accrual Warrant Share”) of Company Common Stock to such holders at $0.001 per Dividend Accrual Warrant Share at a rate of 100 Dividend Accrual Warrants for every $1 of dividend accrued during the prior three month period. The Company issued Dividend Accrual Warrants totaling 150,000 and 300,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. The Company valued these issuances using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: share price: $0.0003 - $0.0006; strike price: $0.001; expected volatility: 27%; risk free interest rate: 0.720% - 1.04%; term: 5 years.
For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, dividends related to the Series D Preferred Stock totaled $1,500 and $1,286, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, dividends related to the Series D Preferred Stock totaled $3,000 and $1,286, respectively. Accrued dividends totaled $7,286 and $4,286 at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet.
On July 1, 2012, all of the issued and outstanding Dividend Accrual Warrants were exchanged for shares of the Company’s common stock in contemplation of the Agreement. See Note 7G.
Issuance of Deferred Interest Payment Warrants.
The Company continued to fail to pay interest on the promissory notes that were previously issued to Brookstein, Ponzio and Nascap (the “Note Holders”). To compensate the Note Holders for the failure to pay interest on their promissory notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company granted to such Note Holders warrants (each, a “Deferred Interest Payment Warrant”) to purchase shares of Common Stock at the rate of 100 Deferred Interest Payment Warrants for every $1 of interest not paid. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, 1,950,000 and 3,900,000 Deferred Interest Payment Warrants were issued and have terms substantially identical to the Deferred Salary Warrants and Dividend Accrual Warrants. The Company valued these issuances using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: share price: $0.0003 - $0.0006; strike price: $0.001; expected volatility: 27%; risk free interest rate: 1.03% - 2.01%; term: 5 years
The Company will not pay interest to the Note Holders in the third quarter of 2012. To compensate them, the Company granted Deferred Interest Payment Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock at the rate of 1.00 Deferred Interest Payment Warrants for every $1 of interest not paid. The Company issued a total of 1,950,000 Deferred Interest Payment Warrants on July 1, 2012.
As discussed above, on July 1, 2012, the Note Holders waived all accrued interest owed to them. On July 1, 2012, all of the issued and outstanding deferred Interest Payment Warrants were exchanged for shares of the Company’s Common Stock in contemplation of the Agreement.
33 |
Warrant Exchange Agreements.
The Company entered into separate warrant exchange agreements with Brookstein, Spirits, Garfinkel, Ponzio and Nascap to purchase an aggregate of 128.13 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The warrant holders included the Company’s chairman of the board, chief executive officer and chief financial officer and a company in which such officer is the sole equity owner, as well as the Company’s former president and chief executive officer. Each of the warrant exchange agreements were dated as of May 12, 2011 and provided for the exchange of the warrants then held by such warrant holders (the “Old Warrants”) for new warrants (the “New Warrants”). The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of the Old Warrants. The Old Warrants had exercise prices ranging from $0.001 to $0.05 per share (a weighted average exercise price of $0.022 per share) and had exercise periods expiring from June 23, 2014 through March 31, 2016 (typically, five years after the date of issuance of the subject warrants). However, the Old Warrants contained certain anti-dilution provisions which caused the effective exercise prices to be reduced to less than $0.001 per share. The New Warrants all have an exercise price of $0.001 per share and expire on May 11, 2016. The New Warrants contain cashless exercise provisions. The anti-dilution provisions of the New Warrants are primarily limited to stock splits and corporate transactions involving mergers and consolidations while the Old Warrants contained anti-dilution provisions that caused the reduction in the exercise prices of the Old Warrants whenever the Company issued stock or derivative securities with an effective purchase price less than the then exercise price of the subject Old Warrants. The Company had issued the Old Warrants in connection with the (x) accrual of dividends due on preferred stock of the Company owned by certain of the warrant holders, (y) deferral of the payment of interest due on promissory notes of the Company owned by certain of the warrant holders and (z) deferral of salary due certain of the warrant holders in their capacities as executive officers of the Company.
As a result of the exchanges, the Company recognized a charge of $11,797 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, which is classified as part of interest expense.
As the New Warrants contain “cashless exercise” provisions, the value of the New Warrants were recognized as liabilities and not as part of stockholders’ deficiency. In addition, the Company is required to revalue the New Warrants at the end of each reporting period with the change in value reported on the statement of operations. The Company valued these issuances using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions at June 30, 2012: share price: $0.0003 - $0.0006; strike price: $0.001; expected volatility: 27%; risk free interest rate: 0.720% - 1.04%; term: 3.87 – 4.12 years. The Company recognized a gain on the value of the New Warrants of $5,509 and $98 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recognized a gain of $5,371.
In July 2012, the New Warrants were exchanged for shares of the Company’s Common Stock in contemplation of the Agreement. See Note 7G.

Based on industry averages, Seaniemac estimates that from each dollar bet, the Company will receive net revenue of 8% in the sports segment and 4% in the casino segment. Jenningsbet, which performs all administration directly related to gaming, will remit the net revenue on the 15th of the subsequent month.

Gaelic Games
The Gaelic Games are a series of popular Irish sports managed by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) that is gaining worldwide appeal. The Gaelic Games include Hurling, Shinty and Gaelic Football. Unlike the standard game of football, Gaelic Football is an amateur game featuring 15 players per team who are allowed to punch the ball. Hurling is played on the same pitch as Gaelic Football and with 15 players, but bears little resemblance to its sister game, being played with hurley sticks and a leather ball. Shinty, a variation of Hurling, is popular in other territories like Scotland.
Gaelic Sports Betting is a regular option on many online betting sites, reflecting the wide appeal of Gaelic Games. While Gaelic Games have long been popular in Ireland, the Gaelic Games has been gaining widespread appeal in areas with large communities of Irish emigrants and their descendants throughout the US, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom, where many have their own teams and clubs participate in the Gaelic Leagues.

Controls and Procedures -At this time, we plan to use the controls and procedures used by Compliance Systems Corporation and to implement changes after consummation of the Acquisition.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Development Stage Company – The Company is a development stage company and has no recognized revenue is still devoting substantially all of its efforts on establishing the business and its planned principal operations have not commenced. All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Company’s development stage activities.
Basis of Presentation - The Company's unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis of accounting, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) for interim financial information applicable for a going concern which assumes that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of the business and in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and article 10 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and disclosures included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
In the opinion of management, the condensed financial statements contain all material adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase as cash equivalents.
Income Taxes - The Company utilizes the asset and liability method to measure and record deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the future income tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and are measured using enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company had adopted the provisions of Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainties in tax positions and requires that the Company recognizes in its financial statements the impact of an uncertain tax position, if that position has more likely than not chance of not being sustained on audit, based on technical merits of that position. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements. The income of the Company is subject to income taxes based upon the laws of Ireland.
Foreign currency - The Company’s assets and liabilities, whose functional currency is the Euro, are translated into U.S dollars at period-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. The adjustments resulting from translating the Company’s financial statements are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss (OCL), a component of stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized in net earnings based on differences between foreign exchange rates on the transaction date and settlement date.
40 |
Net Loss Per Share- Basic and diluted loss per share was computed using the weighted average number of outstanding common shares.
Advertising- All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs incurred for the production of a commercial are considered prepaid expenses until the commercial airs at which time such costs are expensed.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Seaniemac will continue as a going concern. As shown in the financial statements, Seaniemac has experienced a loss during its initial period of operations and does not currently have sufficient resources to accomplish its objectives during the next twelve months.. These conditions raise substantial doubt about Seaniemac’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should it be unable to continue in operation. Our present plans, the realization of which cannot be assured, to overcome these difficulties include, but are not limited to, the continuing effort to raise capital in public and private markets.

See“ITEM 4SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT.”
ITEM 12. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Neither our Articles of Incorporation nor Bylaws prevent us from indemnifying our officers, directors and agents to the extent permitted under the Nevada Revised Statute (“NRS”). NRS Section 78.7502, provides that a corporation shall indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with any the defense to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to Section 78.7502(1) or 78.7502(2), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein.
50 |
NRS 78.7502(1) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
NRS Section 78.7502(2) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals there from, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.
NRS Section 78.747 provides that except as otherwise provided by specific statute, no director or officer of a corporation is individually liable for a debt or liability of the corporation, unless the director or officer acts as the alter ego of the corporation. The court as a matter of law must determine the question of whether a director or officer acts as the alter ego of a corporation.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

51 |
Such issuances was conducted pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, as amended, and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
Debt Exchange Shares.
The Company has been ordered, pursuant to a Final Declaratory Judgment issued on June 28, 2012 by Hon. Marcia Caballero, Circuit Court Judge of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit for Miami Dade County, Florida, to issue an aggregate of 10 million “unrestricted and freely tradable post reverse split shares” of the Company’s common stock to a total of five entities (each, a “Creditor”) in exchange for claims of such Creditors in the aggregate amount of $500,000. The names of the Creditors and the number of post reverse split shares each of the Creditors is entitled to receive under such court order are:
Name of Creditor | Number of Post Reverse Split Shares | |||
Summit Trading Limited | 4,000,000 | |||
GE Park LLC | 2,000,000 | |||
Noetic Enterprises LLC | 1,333,333 | |||
Ocean Marketing Corp. | 1,333,333 | |||
Sierra Trading Corporation | 1,333,334 |
The Company believes that the issuance of said 10 million post reverse split shares will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by reason of the fact that such shares are exempted securities under paragraph 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act.
Item 5.01 Changes in Control of Registrant.
See Item 2.01 of this current report.
Item 5.06 Change In Shell Company Status.

Notes to Financial Statements
1. Nature of Business
SeanieMac Limited, a development stage company, is an Irish company that was incorporated on December 11, 2011. The Company will offer a market-leading, user-friendly website for online gambling, including sports betting and casino gaming in Ireland under the brand name Seaniemac.com. It will initially focus on Gaelic Games as well as Irish horse racing and soccer. Gaelic Games,a series of popular Irish sports that include Hurling, Shinty and Gaelic Football, are gaining worldwide appeal.
Gambling in Ireland is principally regulated by the Betting Act of 1931 and the Gamings and Lotteries Act of 1956. This legislation pre-dates many of the new developments in the industry. There are other gaming and gambling acts that influence the industry such as The Horse and Greyhound Racing Act of 2001, which falls under overall gaming and gambling regulations; however, no specific act has been passed in the country specifically for online gambling.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Development Stage Company– The Company is a development stage company with no recognized revenue and is still devoting substantially all of its efforts on establishing the business and its planned principal operations have not commenced. The Company has not incurred any expenses or had any cash activity during the period from December 11, 2011 (inception) to December 31, 2011.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 as well as the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Basis of Presentation - The Company's financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis of accounting, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase as cash equivalents.
Income Taxes - The Company utilizes the asset and liability method to measure and record deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the future income tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and are measured using enacted tax rates that apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company had adopted the provisions of Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainties in tax positions and requires that the Company recognizes in its financial statements the impact of an uncertain tax position, if that position has more likely than not chance of not being sustained on audit, based on technical merits of that position. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.
The income of the Company is subject to income taxes based upon the laws of Ireland.
F-6 |
Foreign currency - The Company’s assets and liabilities, whose functional currency is the Euro, are translated into U.S dollars at period-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. The adjustments resulting from translating the Company’s financial statements are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss income, a component of Stockholders’ Equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized in net earnings based on differences between foreign exchange rates on the transaction date and settlement date.
Subsequent events – The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through October 17, 2012, the date the financial statements are available for issuance, for possible disclosure and recognition in the financial statements. No events or transactions were identified during this period that requires disclosure or recognition.
3. Capital Stock Transactions
On December 11, 2011, 2 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued through subscriptions receivable.
