NOTE 4 - GOING CONCERN
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company does not have cash or other material assets, nor does it have established sources of revenues to cover operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. It is the intent of the Company to obtain financing through equity offerings or other feasible financing alternatives to fund its ongoing operations. There is no assurance the Company will be successful in raising new capital or increasing its revenues.

Certain prior year comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation

As used in this quarterly report, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, “our Company” and “Raven Biofuels” mean our company, Raven Biofuels International Corporation, unless otherwise indicated
Corporate History
Our company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 11, 2003, under the name “Auto Photo Technologies Inc.”. Effective September 21, 2007, we completed a merger with our subsidiary, Raven Biofuels International Corporation, a Nevada corporation, that we incorporated solely for the purpose of the change of name. As a result, we changed our name from “Auto Photo Technologies Inc.” to “Raven Biofuels International Corporation”, to better reflect our anticipated business direction
Effective September 17, 2007, we effected a forty-four (44) for one (1) forward stock split of our authorized, issued and outstanding shares. As a result, our authorized capital increased from 200,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 to 8,800,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. Our issued and outstanding share capital increased from 1,186,667 shares of common stock to 52,213,348 shares of common stock.
Our common shares were quoted for trading on the OTCBB on September 17, 2007, under the symbol "AOPH". On October 2, 2007 our symbol changed to “RVBF”.
The address of our principal executive office is 61 South Paramus Road, Paramus, New Jersey, 07652. Our telephone number is 1-866-433-3356.
Our Current Business
Our current operations consist of receiving sales commissions from a third party company. We earn a commission based on the revenues generated by an e-commerce business.
While we are currently maintaining existing operations, we are also investigating other opportunities in our efforts to maximize shareholder value. Management is currently exploring other opportunities in the alternative fuels sector.
- 12 -
On October 29, 2007, we entered into a share exchange agreement with Raven Biofuels International Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and the shareholders of Raven Biofuels. Pursuant to the terms of the share exchange agreement, we agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Raven Biofuels’ common stock in exchange for the issuance by our company of 14,000,000 shares of our common stock to the shareholders of Raven Biofuels. We elected not to proceed with the share exchange agreement and allowed it to lapse in accordance with its terms.
On January 24, 2008 we received a notice of termination of the share exchange agreement from Raven Biofuels, now known as Superior Biotechnologies Corporation, terminating the share exchange agreement, given the lapse of time since the entry into the agreement. Our management continues to investigate additional business opportunities, and remains of the view that the alternative fuels sector is an industry that it is worth pursuing, in its efforts to enhance shareholder value. We intend to maintain our current operations to the best of our abilities while we investigate further opportunities.
Subsequently, and as a result of the termination of the share exchange agreement with Superior Biotechnologies, we have been in discussions with Pure Energy Corporation in connection with a merger of our two companies. Under the proposed terms, Pure Energy shareholders would receive approximately 27,000,000 shares and $3 million in cash based on our shares being valued at $1.85 per share. Upon completion of the proposed merger, we would work with management of Pure Energy to construct a number of specific cellulosic ethanol plants worldwide.
Assuming successful completion of any business combination with Pure Energy, we would hope to become a global renewable energy company whose principal focus is the production of fuel grade cellulosic ethanol, and derivative chemicals. Through a business combination with Pure Energy, we would acquire all of Pure Energy’s technology and numerous patents for its cellulosic ethanol process and our goal would be to become the lowest cost producer of renewable fuels.
We have not concluded any definitive merger agreement with Pure Energy and all discussions are at a preliminary stage only. There can be no assurances that any transaction with Pure Energy will be successfully completed.
In the event that we proceed with the acquisition of Pure Energy, certain third parties have been investigating fund raising opportunities on our behalf. Such parties have been negotiating the engagement of an institutional brokerage firm in order to provide the financing for the capital that would be required following any acquisition of Pure Energy. Our goal would be to raise an initial $20,000,000 by way of a common share offering. The proceeds would be used for operations and building Raven’s first cellulosic ethanol bio-refinery following any acquisition of Pure Energy.
On May 21, 2008, we entered into an assignment agreement whereby we accepted an assignment of an agreement between Tribune Capital Partners SA and Spectrum Energy Company Ltd. for the construction of bio-fuel plants in the Province of British Columbia, for the conversion of Mountain Pine Beetle softwood into ethanol for use as low-carbon transportation fuel and high value chemicals. Both parties are to make various contributions to the joint venture as described in the agreement, which includes pro-rata capital contributions, the provision of technology, management and operational expertise and supply of feed stock, among others.
On May 26, 2008, we entered into a letter of intent with Superior Biotechnologies Corporation pursuant to which we have agreed to negotiate a definitive agreement for the acquisition from Superior of certain contractual rights and intellectual property rights for the payment of $75,000. The consideration will also consist of our company assuming liability for a loan of $875,000 that was provided from Tribune Capital Partners SA to Superior. The proceeds from this loan were used by Superior to fund license payments and further development of the technology. The acquisition will primarily consist of the acquisition of a Technology License Agreement that Superior currently has from Pure Energy Corporation, and the acquisition of an agreement for the rights to construct a bio-fuel plant in India. The acquisition of the technology license will allow our company to deploy the two stage dilute acid hydrolysis as well as other rights and options with respect to Pure Energy. This technology will provide us with the technology required for the construction of bio-refineries for the production of ethanol and other high value chemicals.
The acquisition from Superior is subject to completion of a definitive agreement.
- 13 -
On June 30, 2008, and July 3, 2008, we entered into term sheets for private placement financings with Blackhawk Investments Ltd. and Clean Energy Holding Corp. respectively. The term sheets are for private placements of up to 8 million units for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $8 million with Blackhawk, and up to 2 million units for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $2 million with Clean Energy. Each unit will consist of one share of common stock and one share purchase warrant, with each warrant exercisable for two years from closing at the price of $1.50 per share. The private placements are required to close within 30 days of the execution of the term sheet.
The completion of the private placements is subject to completion of definitive subscription agreements and are to close concurrently.
Plan of Operation and Cash Requirements
Overview
We remain an early stage company with minimal operations.
We have scaled back our operations by ceasing to operate our photo booth business due to ongoing losses. Our remaining operations now consist of receiving sales commissions from a third party company. We earn a commission based on the revenues generated by an e-commerce business.

The net increase that we incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2007 was largely due an advance of $136,045 from a shareholder.
In the next twelve months we anticipate spending $133,000 on management consulting and $60,000 on general and administrative. Our cash on hand at June 30, 2008 was $111. We plan to raise additional capital required to meet immediate short-term needs and to meet the balance of our estimated funding requirements for the twelve months, primarily through the private placement of our securities.
We are not aware of any known trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in our liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.
Future Financings
We will require additional financing in order to enable us to proceed with our plan of operations, as discussed above, including approximately $193,000 over the next 12 months to pay for our ongoing operating expenses. These expenses include audit, legal and office expenses. These cash requirements are in excess of our current cash and working capital resources. Accordingly, we will require additional financing in order to continue operations and to repay our liabilities. There is no assurance that any party will advance additional funds to us in order to enable us to sustain our plan of operations or to repay our liabilities.
We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our planned business activities.
We presently do not have any arrangements for additional financing for the expansion of our exploration operations, and no potential lines of credit or sources of financing are currently available for the purpose of proceeding with our plan of operations.

Cash Requirements
If we do not proceed with the acquisition for Superior Biotechnologies and we elect to proceed with our current operations, we anticipate that we will expend approximately $193,000 during the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2009 to fund, service and maintain our e-commerce business and for working capital. These expenditures are broken down as follows:
Estimated Funding Required During the Twelve Month Period Ending June 30, 2009
Operating Expenses | | | |
Management and Consulting | $ | 133,000 | |
General and Administrative | | 60,000 | |
Total Operating Expenses | $ | 193,000 | |
Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, in their report on the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.
As a result, there will also be substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as the continuation of our business will be dependent upon obtaining further financing and achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of the stockholders who will be receiving our shares in the spin off. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations. We intend to pursue various financing alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements, which we anticipate will consist of further private placements of our equity securities or shareholder loans. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our obligations as they become due and we will be forced to further scale down or perhaps even cease operations.
As noted, we are pursuing various financing alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements, which we anticipate will consist of further private placements of equity securities, advances from related parties or shareholder loans. We plan to rely on shareholder loans and private placements to meet our short term cash requirements. We have not entered into any definitive agreements with any shareholders or related parties for the provision of loans or advances. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, or generate significant material revenues from operations, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations. We have scaled back our operations by ceasing to operate our photo booth business due to ongoing losses.
Contractual Obligations
As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations.
Going Concern
We anticipate that additional funding will be required in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. At this time, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock or through a loan from our directors to meet our obligations over the next twelve months. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future debt or equity financing.
- 16 -
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management is currently evaluating the impact SFAS No. 157 will have on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – including an amendment of FASB statement No. 115.” This Statement permits all entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible items at fair value (the “fair value option”). A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings (or another performance indicator if the business entity does not report earnings) at each subsequent reporting date. Upfront costs and fees related to items for which the fair value option is elected shall be recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred. If an entity elects the fair value option for a held-to-maturity or available-for-sale security in conjunction with the adoption of this Statement, that security shall be reported as a trading security under Statement 115, but the accounting for a transfer to the trading category under paragraph 15(b) of Statement 115 does not apply. Electing the fair value option for an existing held-to-maturity security will not call into question the intent of an entity to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future. This statement is effective as of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. We are currently analyzing the effects of SFAS 159 but do not expect its implementation will have a significant impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainly in Income Taxes –An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 prescribes detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of FIN 48 and in subsequent periods. FIN 48 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and the provisions of FIN 48 will be applied to all positions upon the adoption of the Interpretation. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of this Interpretation will be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for that fiscal year. Management does not believe that its adoption will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 requires companies to evaluate the materiality of identified unadjusted errors on each financial statement and related financial statement disclosure using both the rollover approach and the iron curtain approach, as those terms are defined in SAB 108. The rollover approach quantifies misstatements based on the amount of the error in the current year financial statement, whereas the iron curtain approach quantifies misstatements based on the effects of correcting the misstatement existing in the balance sheet at the end of the current year, irrespective of the misstatement’s year(s) of origin. Financial statements would require adjustment when either approach results in quantifying a misstatement that is material. Correcting prior year financial statements for immaterial errors would not require previously filed reports to be amended. If a company determines that an adjustment to prior year financial statements is required upon adoption of SAB 108 and does not elect to restate its previous financial statements, then it must recognize the cumulative effect of applying SAB 108 in fiscal 2006 beginning balances of the affected assets and liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the fiscal 2006 opening balance in retained earnings. SAB 108 is effective for interim periods of the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006, and was adopted by our company in the first quarter of 2007. Management does not believe the adoption of SAB 108 will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our consolidated financial statements is critical to an understanding of our financials.
Item 3. Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risks
As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under theSecurities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal accounting and financial officer (our president) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As of June 30, 2008, the end of the three month period year covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our president, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our president concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
GENERAL STATEMENT ABOUT RISKS
An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this quarterly report in evaluating our company and our business before purchasing shares of our company's common stock. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed due to any of the following risks. You could lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks.

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements that relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of terminology such as "may", "should", "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "predicts", "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Examples of forward-looking statements made in this quarterly report include statements about:
Our future operating results,
Our future capital expenditures,
Our expansion and growth of operations, and
Our future investments and acquisitions.
These statements were only predictions and involved known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which included:
General economic and business conditions,
Exposure to market risks in our financial instruments,
Fluctuations in demand for products,
Competition for customers,
Technological changes and developments,
Regulatory uncertainties and potential liabilities, and
the risks in the section of this quarterly report entitled "Risk Factors",
any of which may have caused our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Our common shares are considered speculative during the development of our new business operations. Prospective investors should consider carefully the risk factors set out below.
Risks Relating to Our Business:
The fact that we are in the early development of our company and that we have only generated limited revenues since our incorporation raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, as indicated in our independent auditors' report in connection with our audited financial statements.
We have generated limited revenues since our inception on December 11, 2003. We are still in the early stages of developing our company. We will, in all likelihood, continue to incur operating expenses without significant revenues until we have found a suitable business or have completed a merger or acquisition. We estimate our average monthly operating expenses for the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2008, to be approximately $16,000 each month. At this rate we will not be able to maintain our operations at their present level without generating additional revenues from our operations or incurring any non-operational expenses. We cannot assure that we will be able to generate enough interest in our automated photo services. If we cannot attract a significant number of customers, we will not be able to generate any significant revenues or income. In addition, if we are
- 19 -
unable to establish and generate material revenues, or obtain adequate future financing, our business will fail and you may lose some or all of your investment in our common stock. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as described in an explanatory paragraph to our independent auditors' report on our audited financial statements for our year ended December 31, 2007.
We will need to raise additional funds in the near future. If we are not able to obtain future financing when required, we might be forced to scale back or cease operations or discontinue our business.
Although we intend to raise additional capital, we do not currently have any arrangements for financing and we can provide no assurance to investors we will be able to find such financing when such funding is required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors. There is no assurance that we will not incur further debt in the future, that we will have sufficient funds to repay our future indebtedness or that we will not default on our future debts, jeopardizing our business viability. Finally, we may not be able to borrow or raise additional capital in the future to meet our needs or to otherwise provide the capital necessary to maintain our operations, which might result in the loss of some or all of your investment in our common stock.
We anticipate that our cash on hand will not be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements for the balance of the year ended December 31, 2008. In addition, there is no assurance that actual cash requirements will not exceed our estimates. In particular, additional capital may be required in the event that:
- we incur unexpected costs or encounter any unexpected technical or other difficulties;
- we incur delays and additional expenses as a result of technology failure;
- we are unable to create a substantial market for our products; or
- we incur any significant unanticipated expenses.
The occurrence of any of the aforementioned events could prevent us from pursuing our business plans and ultimately achieving a profitable level of such operations.
All of our assets and all of our directors and officers are outside the United States, with the result that it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against us or any of our directors or officers.
All of our assets are located outside the United States and we do not currently maintain a permanent place of business within the United States. In addition, all of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons' assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against us or our officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. Consequently, you may be effectively prevented from pursuing remedies under U.S. federal securities laws against them.
We have a history of net losses and a lack of established revenues, and as a result, we expect to incur more net losses in the future.
We have had a history of losses and expect to continue to incur losses, and may never achieve or maintain profitability. As of June 30, 2008 we have an accumulated deficit of $ 1,004,601.
We have accrued significant amounts of management fees that are payable on demand to our former director and officer, Ian S. Grant. If a demand for payment was made we would be unable to satisfy any required payment.
As at June 30, 2008 we have accrued management fees of $524,935 that are due and owing to Ian Grant, our former director and officer. These fees have no fixed payment terms and are due on demand. As at June 30, 2008 we had $111 in cash on hand and to date we have not generated any material revenues from operations and we have been
- 20 -
dependent on sales of our equity securities to meet our cash requirements. We cannot anticipate when we will be able to generate significant revenues from sales, or when or if we will be able to raise additional funds. As a result, if Mr. Grant made a demand for payment of the accrued fees that are due and owing to him, we would be unable to make any payments in satisfaction of the accrued fees. If a demand for payment of the accrued fees is made we will not be able to maintain our operations and our business will fail.
Because our officers, directors and principal shareholders control a majority of our common stock, investors will have little or no control over our management or other matters requiring shareholder approval.
Our officers and directors and their affiliates, in the aggregate, beneficially own 56.18% of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. As a result, they have the ability to control matters affecting minority shareholders, including the election of our directors, the acquisition or disposition of our assets, and the future issuance of our shares. Because our officers, directors and principal shareholders control our company, investors will not be able to replace our management if they disagree with the way our business is being run. Because control by these insiders could result in management making decisions that are in the best interest of those insiders and not in the best interest of the investors, you may lose some or all of the value of your investment in our common stock.
Risks Related to Our Shares of Common Stock
There is no active trading market for our common stock and if a market for our common stock does not develop, our investors will be unable to sell their shares.
There is currently no active trading market for our common stock and such a market may not develop or be sustained. We currently plan to have our common stock quoted on the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc.'s OTC Bulletin Board. In order to do this, a market maker must file a Form 15c-211 to allow the market maker to make a market in our shares of common stock. At the date hereof, we are not aware that any market maker has any such intention. However, we cannot provide our investors with any assurance that our common stock will be traded on the OTC Bulletin Board or, if traded, that a public market will materialize. Further, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a listing service or exchange, but is instead a dealer quotation service for subscribing members. If our common stock is not quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or if a public market for our common stock does not develop, then investors may not be able to resell the shares of our common stock that they have purchased and may lose all of their investment. If we establish a trading market for our common stock, the market price of our common stock may be significantly affected by factors such as actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operation results, general market conditions and other factors. In addition, the stock market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices for the shares of developmental stage companies.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock into the public market by the selling stockholders may result in significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock and could affect the ability of our stockholders to realize any current trading price of our common stock.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could cause a reduction in the market price of our common stock, when and if such market develops. Selling stockholders may be reselling up to 33% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. As a result of such registration statement, a substantial number of our shares of common stock which have been issued may be available for immediate resale when and if a market develops for our common stock, which would have the effect of decreasing the price of our common stock. As a result of any such decreases in price of our common stock, purchasers who acquire shares from the selling stockholders may lose some or all of their investment.
Any significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock as the selling stockholders sell the shares of our common stock could encourage short sales by the selling stockholders or others. Any such short sales could place further downward pressure on the price of our common stock, which may result in the loss of some or all of an investment in our common stock.
- 21 -
Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC's penny stock regulations and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA’s sales practice requirements, which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.
Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors". The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.
In addition to the "penny stock" rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.
