Notes
(1) | Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding. As of December 12, 2007 (the “Record Date”), there were 4,003,500 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding. |

Board and Officer Appointments
The Company’s current officers and directors are as follows:
Name | Offices |
Paul C. Kirkitelos
| Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Secretary and Treasurer |
Jonathan Moore | Director |
Naomi Moore | Director |
On November 23, 2007, pursuant to the terms of a Share Transfer Agreement (the “Share Transfer Agreement”) among Paul C. Kirkitelos, Jonathan Moore and Naomi Moore, Dr. Kirkitelos purchased 1,170,000 shares of the Company’s common stock from each of Mr. Moore and Mrs. Moore, being 2,340,000 shares of common stock in aggregate (the “Shares”). In consideration of the Shares, Dr. Kirkitelos paid $124,990 to each of Mr. Moore and Mrs. Moore, equal to $249,980 in the aggregate.
As a result of the completion of the sale of the Shares to Dr. Kirkitelos, Mr. Moore and Mrs. Moore no longer own any shares of the Company’s common stock and Dr. Kirkitelos now owns approximately 58.4% of the outstanding shares of our common stock, resulting in a change of control. Under the terms of the Share Transfer Agreement, Mr. Moore and Mrs. Moore have agreed to resign from the Company’s Board of Directors and to have Dr. Kirkitelos appointed as the Company’s sole director.
The appointment of Dr. Kirkitelos as a director of the Company and the corresponding resignations of Mr. Moore and Mrs. Moore will not be effected until at least ten (10) days have passed after this Information Statement has been mailed or delivered to all of the Company’s stockholders in compliance with Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS INVOLVING DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS
The Company is not aware of any legal proceedings to which any current or prospective director, officer, affiliate of the Company, or owner of more than five percent of the Company’s Common Stock (beneficially or of record) is a party adverse in interest to the Company.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Except as described below, none of the following parties has, in the last two years, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction with the Company or in any presently proposed transaction that has or will materially affect the Company:
- Any of the Company’s directors or officers;
- Any person proposed as a nominee for election as a director;
- Any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 5% of the voting rights attached to the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock;
- Any of the Company’ promoters; and
- Any member of the immediate family (including spouse, parents, children, siblings and in- laws) of any of the foregoing persons.
On January 26, 2006, the Company issued 1,300,000 total shares of common stock to Jonathan Moore, the Company’s former President, Treasurer and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, at a price of $0.01 per share. The shares were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and are restricted shares as defined in the Securities Act. In addition, Mr. Moore has agreed to loan the Company $40,000 on an as-needed basis to fund operations and expenses, with terms of the loan to be determined at the time of lending. Interest charged will not exceed the prevailing bank prime rate plus 2%. As at the fiscal year end of July 31, 2007, the Company owed $4,541 (2006 - $3,567) to Mr. Moore for expenses paid on the Company’s behalf. The amount owing was advanced without interest and is due on demand.
On January 26, 2006, the Company issued 1,300,000 total shares of common stock to Naomi Moore, the Company’s former Secretary and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, at a price of $0.01 per share. The shares were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and are restricted shares as defined in the Securities Act.
SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s securities (the “Reporting Persons”) to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. The Reporting Persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all forms they file pursuant to Section 16(a).
The Company believes that, during the last fiscal year, the following persons failed to file, on a timely basis, the identified reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act:
6
Name and Principal Position | Number of Late Insider Reports | Transactions Not Timely Reported | Known Failures to File a Required Form |
Jonathan Moore, Former President, Former Treasurer and Director | One
| One
| One
|
Naomi Moore, Former Secretary and Director | One
| One
| One
|
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
The Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board interdealer quotation system, which does not have director independence requirements. Under NASDAQ Rule 4200(a)(15), a director is not considered to be independent if he or she is also an executive officer or employee of the corporation. Prior to November 21, 2007, Jonathan Moore and Naomi Moore acted as the Company’s executive officers, and were not considered to be independent. As they resigned from their respective executive officer positions on November 21, 2007, Jonathan Moore and Naomi Moore are currently considered to be independent directors. Upon his appointment, Paul Kirkitelos is expected to continue to act as an executive officer of the Company, and is not expected to qualify as an independent director.
AUDIT, NOMINATING AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEES
The Company does not have a separately constituted audit committee, compensation committee, nominating committee, executive committee or any other committees of the Company’s Board of Directors. As a result, the Company’s entire Board of Directors performs these functions. As the Company’s Board of Directors has, to date, consisted of only two directors, the Company’s Board of Directors felt that it was unnecessary to create separately designated director committees. In evaluating director candidates, the Company’s Board of Directors takes into account the entire background of the particular candidate, including his or her business experience, specialized skills or experience possessed by the particular candidate, and the candidate’s integrity and reputation. Executive officer and director compensation is also determined by examining the entirety of the circumstances, including the experience and responsibilities of the particular individual as well as the amount of time devoted to the Company’s business.
The Company’s Board of Directors does not have a fixed policy regarding the consideration of director candidates recommended by stockholders and has not provided a process for stockholders to nominate director candidates. As the Company is still in the early stages of developing its business, the Company’s Board of Directors feels that it is inappropriate at this time for the Company to consider candidates submitted by its stockholders at this time.
The Company does not currently have a person who qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” on its Board of Directors. The Company’s Board of Directors believes that the cost of appointing an audit committee financial expert to its Board of Directors is prohibitive at this time.
STOCKHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Company has not provided any separate process for communicating with the Board of Directors. Communications to the Board of Directors may be directed to the Company, to the
7
attention of the Board of Directors, at the address and telephone number set out on the cover page to this Information Statement.
MEETINGS OF DIRECTORS
There were no meetings of the Board of Directors during the last full fiscal year and all actions taken by the Board of Directors were taken by consent resolution. The Company did not hold an annual meeting of the Company’s security holders during the prior fiscal year and does not have a policy requiring attendance by members of the Board of Directors.
COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
The Company did not pay any compensation to Jonathan Moore, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, former Chief Financial Officer, former President, former Treasurer and director, and Naomi Moore, the Company’s former Secretary and director, during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007. However, for accounting purposes, the Company recorded in its financial statements the fair value of management provided to the Company at no cost as contributed management services.
OUTSTANDING EQUITY AWARDS AT FISCAL YEAR-END
As at July 31, 2007, the Company did not have any outstanding equity awards.
EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS
The Company has no employment contracts, termination of employment or change-in-control arrangements with its executive officers and directors.
OTHER INFORMATION
The Company is subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and, in accordance with that Act, files periodic reports, documents and other information with the SEC relating to its business, financial statements and other matters. These reports and other information may be inspected and are available for copying at the offices of the SEC, Room 1580, 100 F Street NE, Washington D.C. 20549 and are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
